Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

The name Xuan Chengzi may have been forgotten by many people in Ziwei Daomen.

After all, the owner of this name, although also a disciple of Ziwei Daomen, has never entered the mountain gate once.

Because on the way to Ziwei Daomen, the group encountered the outbreak of Juejing Hanyuan.

After that, Xuan Chengzi was forced by Monk Zhenru to stay in Juejing Forest for thirty years on the charge of privately cultivating Shengwen Gu.

And thirty years later, Xuan Chengzi returned to the Great Jin Dynasty and became an outer sect steward. He never went to Ziwei Daomen from beginning to end.

Later, the Great Jin Dynasty suffered a great disaster, and Xuan Chengzi disappeared.

Ziwei Daomen also sent people to look for him, but nothing was found, and finally nothing was done.

Moreover, Xuan Chengzi's talent for cultivation was average, and no one believed that he could cultivate to a high level, and his life span was limited.

So even Mu Kongcheng thought that his fellow villager should have died long ago.

He never thought that he would see Xuan Chengzi again hundreds of years later.

What shocked him even more was that he could not feel any fluctuations of mana from Xuan Chengzi at this moment.

This meant that either Xuan Chengzi's cultivation was much higher than his; or Xuan Chengzi had mastered some unimaginable means to block his perception.

But no matter which case, Mu Kongcheng clearly realized that the former fellow villager in front of him had probably achieved much more than him.

"If Xuan Chengzi returns to Ziwei Daomen now, it will definitely surprise many people, right?"

Mu Kongcheng did not come forward to disturb him, and Zhao Mu did not say hello, and continued to treat the villagers seriously.

It was not until half a day later, when all the villagers had finished their treatment and left, that Zhao Mu turned around and smiled: "Haha, Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see."

Mu Kongcheng sighed: "Junior Brother Xuan Chengzi, I didn't expect that we would see each other again. Since you are alive, why don't you return to Ziwei Daomen?"

"Why go back? There are not many people I care about there. It's better to be free and easy here."

Zhao Mu smiled faintly and waved his hand, and a set of tea sets appeared on the square table.

He slowly brewed tea: "Come, please sit down, senior brother."

Mu Kongcheng came over and sat down, staring at Zhao Mu, as if he wanted to see through the latter completely, but found that the more he looked, the more mysteries he had in his heart.

He couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother, are you familiar with Senior Wanyu Dao Ren?"

"I guess so."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Isn't it him who introduced you to the Hanhai Continent this time?"

"Yes, he said that by coming here, I can meet someone who gives me a second choice, but I never thought that I would meet you."

Mu Kongcheng pursed his lips and asked cautiously: "Junior brother, what is the second choice that Wanyu Dao Ren said?"

"An opportunity to give up the immortal way and step into the divine way."

Zhao Mu did not hide it and said bluntly: "Senior brother should know that you have no hope in the immortal way in this life, and it is not far from the arrival of the five decays of heaven and man."

"So I give you a choice. If you don't want to enter the reincarnation, I can help you switch to the way of incense and fire. The price is that you may lose some freedom."

"What kind of freedom?" Mu Kongcheng asked. Zhao Mu raised his hand and pointed to the treetops that blocked out the sun above his head: "That is the incense peach wood. You should have heard of this spiritual root."

"I am the owner of this incense peach wood. I can use its power to make you a god. From now on, you will become a new god on this vast continent."

"But because you are the one who is canonized by me, your life will be in my hands. You will never betray me in your lifetime."

"This is the price you have to pay. I hope you will think it over carefully."

After that, Zhao Mu continued to make tea without any intention of urging Mu Kongcheng.

And Mu Kongcheng fell into silence.

Practicing the way of gods, to a certain extent, loses freedom, of course, it is not as good as the free and easy way of immortals.

But he seems to have no choice.

Enter reincarnation and re-cultivate?

God knows how likely it is that he will be able to awaken his past life memories in his next life?

What's more, even if he awakens, what will happen?

If he does not have the amazing talent for cultivation, his final ending will probably be the same as this life, and he will die after a thousand years.

Even if the aptitude is worse, I am afraid that I will not even live for a thousand years.

Compared with the unknown reincarnation, the opportunity to become a god in front of me seems to be a better choice?

Even if I lose some freedom, what does it matter?

The person in front of me is my junior brother, and to some extent, I seem to have a favor to him.

So even if I am canonized as a god, I believe that the other party will not embarrass me in many things.

So...

Mu Kongcheng suddenly looked up: "Junior brother Xuan Chengzi, I am willing to switch to the way of incense and fire, but I don’t know what kind of god you want to canonize me as?"

"Haha, of course it’s what my senior brother likes to do."

Zhao Mu made tea, poured a cup for Mu Kongcheng, and then gently pointed at the teacup.

Suddenly, the water surface of the teacup was rippling, and scenes of human suffering continued to emerge in it.

There are mothers with serious illnesses; children who died young; and victims struggling in the plague.

Zhao Mu said, "There are too many people suffering from illness in this world, and you are good at medicine, why don't you become a Fusheng Tianguan?"

"Fusheng Tianguan is in charge of the world's medicine, specializing in birth, aging, illness and death, and the flow of fortune and misfortune. I think it should be in line with your mind, right?"

"Fusheng Tianguan?"

Mu Kongcheng smiled slightly: "Haha, to be honest, my greatest interest in this life is medicine. I have also aspired to practice medicine all over the world, but after entering the immortal way, I have been slack in this regard."

"If I can become the Fusheng Tianguan, I will spread medical skills to the world and benefit the people. Wouldn't it just fulfill my ambition?"

He looked at Zhao Mu seriously: "Okay, junior brother, I will be the Fusheng Tianguan. Don't worry, senior brother will definitely make the medical way prosperous in this Hanhai Continent in the future."

"Haha, then I'll leave it to senior brother."

Zhao Mu raised his hand, and a branch appeared in his hand.

He smiled and handed the branch to Mu Kongcheng: "Senior brother has treated countless people in his life, and his merits are incomparable. Don't worry about this aspect."

"In the next few days, as long as you concentrate on refining this incense peach wood branch, you can officially switch to the way of the gods."

"Okay, brother understands."

Mu Kongcheng took the branch and put it on the table.

He took a sip from the teacup and asked, "Junior Brother, there is something I want to ask you."

"What is it?"

"What kind of existence is this Hanhai Continent?"

Mu Kongcheng exclaimed, "I never thought that there is such a wonderful place in the world. It is located between heaven and earth, but it seems to be independent of heaven and earth. It is called a ruins world, but it is not like that. I really can't understand it."

"Hehe, after you stay here for a long time, you will naturally understand what this place is."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Now I can only say that this place... is a place outside the world that will remain immortal even if the spiritual energy is exhausted and all things are dead."
