Chapter 34: Growing Old Together

"I have deciphered the secret of immortality!" Zhang Qingyuan's resounding words echoed from the pavilion in the Daoist Treasury.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Mu Qingxi widened her eyes and looked at Zhang Qingyuan's figure, her expression dull.

Immortality! The goal pursued by almost all cultivators in Yuanzhou!

Although Qi-gathering stage cultivators have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, their lifespans are still similar.

After reaching the Foundation Building stage, they lay the foundation for the Great Dao.

But even with an additional two hundred years of life, immortality is still far away.

Gold Core stage cultivators can live for a thousand years, while Nascent Soul stage cultivators can live for three thousand years!

But even so, immortality, as pursued by cultivators, is still distant.

What they seek is to live as long as the heavens and the earth, shining like the sun and the moon!

Soul Formation cultivators can only live up to eight thousand years, and Transcending Tribulation cultivators have a limit of ten thousand years. As for Mahayana cultivators nearing Ascension, although there is no record of their lifespan, they are still far from achieving the same lifespan as the heavens and the earth.

Even the immortals in the Nine Celestial Immortal Courts dare not claim immortality.

So why is Zhang Qingyuan so confident at this moment?

Compared to the vastness of the heavens and the earth, humans are insignificant. No matter if your lifespan is ten thousand years, the heavens and the earth have existed for far longer.

The historical records in Yuanzhou can be traced back thousands of years. Apart from those who have achieved Ascension, who dares to speak of immortality?

What does Zhang Qingyuan want to say?

At this moment, Mu Qingxi's heart trembled.

Zhang Qingyuan noticed Mu Qingxi's reaction and was not surprised. He calmly said, "Last night, I enlightened the Daoist Treasury. I believe you all witnessed the Pill Formation Tribulation."

Mu Qingxi nodded.

The power of the Pill Formation Tribulation last night was so great that it was hard for them to ignore.

"But I didn't bestow my cultivation on the Daoist Treasury. I merely engraved the information of immortality from the spiritual energy onto it. Despite having no cultivation, it attracted the Pill Formation Tribulation that only cultivators would have."

"And the Daoist Treasury, which has never been exposed to cultivation, directly bypassed the Qi-gathering and Foundation Building stages and embarked on the path of Core Formation."

Zhang Qingyuan's tone became heavy at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxi was shocked.

"Senior Brother, are you saying that the three tribulations of cultivation are not for the sake of cultivation, but for the sake of immortality?"

Mu Qingxi quickly understood what Zhang Qingyuan was trying to express.

"That's right! It is heaven that obstructs immortality!"

"The heavens and the earth can achieve immortality, but the heavenly Dao is merciless, treating all living beings as mere fodder. Why does it obstruct immortality?"

"The path to Core Formation and immortality is likely an innate instinct of all living beings. The Gold Core stage may be the shackles that bind all living beings."

Zhang Qingyuan raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, his gaze becoming even deeper.

There are unseen enemies in this world.

And now, he can only perceive a glimmer of opportunity, just like an ant looking up at the sky.

Everything has a reason.

Zhang Qingyuan did not believe that someone intentionally engraved the path of Core Formation into the instinct of all living beings, guiding them towards this path of cultivation.

If Zhang Qingyuan had not witnessed the cultivation methods of other epochs, he would never have had such suspicions.

However, the mechanical cultivation epoch with infinite combinations and the biochemical cultivation epoch with endless reproduction were enough to make Zhang Qingyuan understand one thing.

That is, the cultivation methods of each era have their own reasons for existence, all for the grand cause of advancing the era.

The Immortality Plague and the Art of Instruments in Zhang Qingyuan's hands are far from enough for him to glimpse the full picture of other eras.

He originally thought that these paths were anomalies, and that Yuanzhou's methods were simply unable to keep up with the times.

But now it seems that it's not the case at all.

The systematic method of cultivation in Yuanzhou is the problematic path.

Zhang Qingyuan revealed his speculation completely.

"Is the Golden Core stage a shackle to immortality?"

At this moment, Mu Qingxi's mood was beyond description.

When has anyone in the world ever doubted that the path of cultivating immortality is the wrong path?

"Senior Brother, have you already realized the correct path?"

Mu Qingxi's eyes gradually changed from shock to excitement.

If it were someone else, she would never believe it.

But the successive techniques that Zhang Qingyuan displayed made them speculate whether he had realized the correct path.

However... Zhang Qingyuan shook his head in response.

At present, he is only slightly ahead due to his deductive ability.

He is still far from the new path in his heart.

This is also the reason why Zhang Qingyuan asked Mu Qingxi to come up the mountain.

"Mu Qingxi, your persistence in staying in Qingxiao Sect after the end of the era is enough to prove your loyalty to the path of immortality!"

"I want to open a new era, are you willing to accompany me?"

Zhang Qingyuan looked down at the vast sea of clouds, and in his eyes, the figure sitting on the mechanical city appeared again.

The concept of gathering all forces for infinite exploration is far beyond what the cultivation world of Yuanzhou can compare to.

Invisible enemies, the instinctive cultivation method engraved in one's nature, the unknown end of the era...

Compared to the world, his power is too insignificant.

Zhang Qingyuan is well aware of this.

Even the cultivation of the original body in the Soul Formation stage is still too insignificant for an era.

And he wants to open a new era!

An ultimate cultivation era derived from other cultivation epochs as nourishment.

At this moment, Mu Qingxi on the pavilion looked at Zhang Qingyuan, and the sunlight fell on his robe, as if covering him with a layer of golden clothing.

"I have heard the Dao in the morning, and I am willing to die for it! I am willing!"

Mu Qingxi said without hesitation.

Seeing that Mu Qingxi had agreed, Zhang Qingyuan raised his hand and a divine light appeared in his palm.

Lu Yuyu was already a genius before the end of the era, and Mu Qingxi is not far behind him.

"Now that your heart is determined, I will give you the Great Dao!"

The aura of the Yin Yang Fish in Zhang Qingyuan's body suddenly became similar to the Innate Dao Bone.

The Innate Dao Bone has five Divine Abilities, each composed of countless Dao patterns. In addition to these five Divine Abilities, the Innate Dao Bone itself is the top talent for cultivation in the world.

The method of refining demons in the various constellations is to evolve into a demon using oneself as a medium.

After becoming a demon, the connection with the original body remains strong.

And now, Zhang Qingyuan wants to use the divine light to engrave the aura of the Innate Dao Bone with the ability of the method of refining demons!

In the future, when Mu Qingxi cultivates, he will also be nourished.

Zhang Qingyuan cannot spend a lot of time on cultivation himself. He needs someone to cultivate for him so that he can free up time to deduce other eras.

The divine light appeared in his palm and gradually flowed into Mu Qingxi's spiritual realm.

The immortal strokes my head, and we will grow old together.

Zhang Qingyuan's gaze became even deeper. He needs more people to join this era!
