How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

[Black Sun: To be honest.]

[Hongli: Okay, I didn't sleep.]

[Heiyang: So what did you go to do?]

[Hongli: Going to read comics!]

[Black Sun: To be honest.]

[Hong Li: Okay, let's start cultivating.]

[Black Sun: You're just worrying unnecessarily...]

[Hongli: I'm willing, come and hit me then!]

[Black Sun: ...]

[Hong Li: Do you think I can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage today? Is it possible?]

[Black Sun: Aha, if that's your question, then I, the king of theories, have something to say.]

[Heiyang: The physical training period requires time to hone one's skills. It is important to combine this with proper exercise as one gets older to build a solid foundation.]

The Qi Refining stage requires the accumulation of quantity and the correct Qi Refining method to condense innate Qi into true Qi and then into innate罡 Qi.

From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, in addition to supernatural powers, methods, and resources, one also needs comprehension.

You need to calm your mind and clear your thoughts of distractions; only then can you successfully establish your foundation.

[Hei Yang: Well, if you were in your normal state, I believe you could clear your mind quickly, but now, well, it's hard to say...]

[Hongli: What, what do you mean?!]

[Black Sun: Don't you understand what I mean?]

[Hong Li: **The riddle teller is seriously ill!]

[Heiyang: Don't you feel tired, or impatient?]

[Hei Yang: With your personality, haven't you been working too hard these past few days? You're practically defecting from the organization!]

[Hongli: You have the nerve to call me that? Who was it that carried the horse for twenty days?!]

[Black Sun: ...]

Hongli: ...

[Hei Yang: There's been so much going on lately, I'm so tired.]

[Hongli: Agreed. Sixteen years old, everything's going wrong, it's exhausting!]

[Hei Yang: I need to make some adjustments. This year, when I'm seventeen, I hope to stay in bed for a year, or even until I'm eighteen!]

[Hongli: Well, how should I put it? Without my parents watching over me, things should be much easier, but it's turned out like this. It's really strange...]

[Black Sun: Yeah, it's strange.]

[Hongli: Then why is that?]

[Hei Yang: Who knows? Do you know? I certainly don't.]

[Hongli: I don't know either.]

[Black Sun: ...]

Hongli: ...

"Because you're not fucking here anymore!" *2

Hong Li rubbed her throbbing temples, looked at the two girls still fast asleep on the bed, and shook her head. She was determined to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before her birthday!

But why? Does breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage guarantee that Hei Yang will escape danger? You must know that Hei Yang's abilities are already far superior to those of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Perhaps, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage would unlock new functions, and maybe even allow Black Sun to instantly come to her side?

Hongli didn't know, dared not think about it, didn't want to think about it, but couldn't help but let her mind wander.

Hei Yang inexplicably found himself in danger again. He was almost swallowed by wild beasts on his way to the capital, and then another accident happened on his way here.

"It's even more troublesome than a small fire!"

Hongli gritted her teeth: "Don't even think about going on a long trip anymore, I won't allow it!"

only……

What if there is no future...?

Ugh, what is she thinking? How unlucky, so unlucky!

Hongli clenched her fists. It seemed that ever since she was five years old, she had gotten used to Heiyang being by her side, used to seeing him every day, and used to talking to him about meaningless nonsense all day long.

When she occasionally visits her maternal grandmother's house, she might not see him for a few days, and she would always urge her mother to come home quickly, only to be scolded by her mother for being insensible...

This bad habit didn't subside until he was fourteen.

However, knowing that urging them verbally was useless, they were too lazy to waste their breath.

She never thought about what she would do if Black Sun disappeared from her life one day, disappeared forever, never to return, never to appear again.

She always thought that those were things she should think about decades from now, and that peaceful days would last a very, very long time…

But reality told her that many sudden partings were without time to say goodbye.

An unexpected event suddenly barged into our lives, shattering the peace.

"If, in the days to come, there is no Black Sun..."

Hongli stared blankly, her eyes lifeless.

She has almost no memory of her life before the age of five. Does she need to remember her memories after the age of seventeen?

"No, what am I thinking about? Quickly clear your mind and get into the zone, get into the zone!"

……

"Isn't it time to give up yet?"

Hei Yang asked himself uncertainly, "That's definitely not possible!"

Hei Yang had a vague feeling that his surroundings had changed slightly, which cheered him up. It was better to have some changes than to stay here aimlessly!

"So what exactly is this cloud of gray mist? It seems kind of familiar..."

Hei Yang scratched his head anxiously, feeling like he'd seen this scene somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

He prided himself on his good memory, which had been further enhanced after his cultivation; logically, he shouldn't have forgotten something like this...

A murmur seemed to come from afar. Hei Yang looked wary, placed his hand on the longsword at his waist, and walked step by step toward the direction from which the sound came.

Gradually, the gray fog seemed to dissipate, but the sky remained hazy...

Hei Yang suddenly realized that he must have accidentally stumbled into some kind of secret realm, like the Fire World where Hong Li lived, a secret realm that required mastering certain methods to freely enter and exit...

Moreover, as the surrounding gray fog thinned and the desolate scenery became clearer, the sense of déjà vu in Hei Yang's mind grew stronger and stronger...

A very ominous premonition arose in Hei Yang's heart. He vaguely realized something, and his expression gradually turned grim...

There was a wind, but it was coming from nowhere, which made Hei Yang shiver. His memories became clearer, and he suddenly looked back. The path he came from had disappeared!

"No way……"

Hei Yang gave a strange look: "No way..."

"Wow!"

There was the sound of water, accompanied by a fishy smell.

There was a figure standing in front.

He was dressed in a grayish-blue robe, not very tall, with a pot set up in front of him and a bowl in his hand.

"What the hell..."

Hei Yang's eyes widened instantly, and his heart almost stopped: "What, it's you, old man!"

"Just a phantom clone."

The figure turned around, looked at Hei Yang, and smiled kindly: "I really didn't expect to meet you here. Perhaps this is fate."

"Hahaha."

Hei Yang's lips twitched, and he retreated with an awkward laugh, his legs feeling weak: "Grandma Meng, you're just joking, who would want to have a connection with you, hahaha..."

"Stop being so glib... Never mind, I'm just a phantom anyway, and I'm not in a rush, so I'll just chat with you, even though it doesn't really mean anything."

Meng Po stirred the soup in the pot and said cheerfully, "Do you know that a long time ago, after this world was named the Realm of Wandering, it was no longer under our jurisdiction?"

Logically speaking, since we parted ways on the bridge sixteen years ago, we should never have met again.

However, many years ago, a great being came to me and asked for a spoonful of water from the River of Oblivion, hoping to use it to cultivate.

Countless years have passed in the blink of an eye. It is unknown whether that great being has died or transcended the world.

But that spoonful of water from the River of Oblivion, for some unknown reason, fell here and became a scourge to humanity.

Since this scourge originated from my own hand, I have no choice but to send out this phantom to retrieve it.

This illusory figure, following the original energy, searched all the way and, sure enough, successfully found that spoonful of water from the River of Oblivion.
