How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"You think you can just run away after doing something bad? You're dreaming! Take this knife first!"

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Before Yinzi Sheng could finish speaking, Jinxiu's figure disappeared into the horizon, vanishing without a trace.

"My junior sister, sigh!"

Yin Zisheng withdrew his outstretched arm, shook his head helplessly, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"To be honest, a more mature and steady junior sister would be quite nice."

"Will something happen to her?"

Yao Qingkong looked at Yin Zisheng with some concern.

"After all, in terms of cultivation level, the other party is far superior to her."

"There's no need to worry about that..."

Yin Zisheng shook his head and explained, "Unlike those who come in illegally, that guy came in with permission and through proper procedures."

In this way, he would be voluntarily exposing himself to the world's scrutiny, and he wouldn't dare to do anything excessive.

At most, it's just like he said, temporarily keeping those around him constantly seeking novelty...

In other words, his master wasn't here. If he had come a few hundred years earlier, he would have been captured before he could even get close to the Five Elements Mountain.

"Ugh, I wonder who let that guy in. It couldn't have been Master or the others, could it? How could they let someone like that in?"

Hey! Hey! Look here! Look here!

Hong Li's voice came from the spirit stone in Yao Qingkong's hand, trying to attract the two's attention.

"Can you help me figure this out now?"

"Ah, sorry to keep you waiting."

Yin Zisheng gave an apologetic smile, looked up at the sky, and nodded: "Yes, Junior Sister will probably have to return empty-handed in a little while."

In that case, let's wait here while we discuss the question you just raised, Sect Leader.

If I understand correctly, you want the sloth to be able to live a normal life in the Wilderness, right?

"Hmm, that's right!"

Hongli turned her head to look at the still motionless coffin beside her, and then thought of the guy who came and went so inexplicably. She revealed her crescent-shaped eyes and couldn't help but feel the urge to complain.

"On my side, Lazy is hiding under the coffin lid, crying. She's six hundred years old and afraid of violence in the world."

But that guy, who's called "tired," just jumped right over to our great immortal sect, the Five Elements Sect, wandered around a few times, and left without a second thought. Tsk tsk...

We all come from this cruel world, yet she's become so lazy and ended up like this, completely outclassed by her fellow townsmen. As her friend, I feel really embarrassed.

"Ha, it's not that serious, they're all different in nature!"

Yin Zisheng shook his head and chuckled, explaining, "That guy's visa has an expiration date; he'll still be deported after it expires."

Furthermore, there are many restrictions, such as not being able to litter, not being able to interfere with ordinary people's lives, and not being able to take anything out except for souvenirs purchased with money...

What you're applying for for permanent residency for that sloth is different in nature, so you can't compare them so simply.

"That's it..."

Hong Li nodded thoughtfully and asked curiously, "But speaking of which, you were the previous sect leader, and I am still the current sect leader!"

Why do you know so much, while I know nothing at all?

"Could it be..."

Hong Li frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

"Got it! It must be my sect leader perk; the elders took a cut!"

"Well, your focus is quite something..."

Yin Zisheng's lips twitched. After organizing his thoughts, he nodded and said, "Hmm, it really is unique!"

"This is called seeing through the phenomenon to the essence!"

Hong Li stretched out her finger, shook her head, and said, "The unknown Hong Li scholar Hei Yang once said that one should open one's eyes wide and learn to grasp the key points."

Don't be fooled by sweet talk; otherwise, you'll be taken advantage of and end up counting the money for someone else.

"Uh……"

Yao Qingkong looked puzzled: "Red Glass Scholar, what is that?"

"He's just a guy who specializes in studying red glass, oh well, that's not important!"

Hong Li waved her hand, revealing a serious expression.

"The important question is, where are my sect leader benefits hidden?"

"Oh, no, no..."

Yin Zisheng sighed and explained, "Actually, all of this was told to me by my master. After all, he was grooming me to be his successor, but I..."

"Alright, let's not talk about those things anymore. Since you've asked, I'll just give you a brief explanation."

"please wait for a moment."

Hongli made a pause gesture.

[Hongli: Where is everyone?]

[Hei Yang: Ah, almost there, almost there! There are only twenty-three people left in line. It'll be my turn soon. Don't rush, don't rush.]

Hongli: ...

[Hongli sent a video request]

[Hongli: Don't speak, listen to the story.]

[Black Sun: Understood.]

"Well, you're ready!"

Hongli chuckled: "We can begin!"

"..."

Yin Zisheng scratched his head in confusion, but didn't think much of it. Instead, he slowly recounted what he knew.

"These are all things my master told me. I don't know if they're true or not. If you're wrong, go find him."

According to him, a long, long time ago—don't ask me the exact time, I got beaten up if I did!

In short, it was a very, very long time ago, before we even had a chance to explore the world!

Our ancestors, on the other hand, lived in a vast world where humans, gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters coexisted.

There, the Heavenly Court governs from above, and the Underworld governs from below. Whether human or demon, everyone strives to cultivate themselves into immortals and live as long as the heavens.

Back then, the Great World was powerful and had no fear of external invasions or other crises.

Yes, of course, the order and rules are quite strict. Fate, cause and effect, reincarnation, and the schemes of gods and immortals—numerous factors weave a vast and stable web that covers the world.

Of course, peace is not the main theme there. Cultivation resources, blessed caves, and rare treasures can easily trigger bloody battles and conflicts.

If the battle becomes even slightly intense, it can easily affect mortal beings.

Faced with the world-destroying power of the cultivators, mortal beings were completely powerless to resist. Those hit by the aftershocks of the battle simply accepted their bad luck and died in droves.

They could only stay at home praying to the gods and immortals, hoping that they wouldn't suffer if the gods fought. Some even fantasized about being reborn into a better family in the next life, or rather, they lived in constant fear of losing their lives!

Even if one becomes a cultivator, a low-level cultivator with low cultivation is often used as cannon fodder in battle.

Although mid-level cultivators are also subject to restrictions, they at least have some ability to influence the course of the battle, and they are the main fighting force.

Top-tier cultivators generally don't make a move; the battlefield is their bargaining table, where everyone compares who can offer the bigger stakes. They are dignified, and their blood cannot be shed easily.

At the very top are the gods and immortals who look down upon the mortal world. They watch all this indifferently, not caring about the struggles of ants. Not to mention that whenever there is a struggle, the quality of faith they receive increases significantly. Who would stop them?

"Competing with people, vying with the land for resources, defying fate—that's how cultivation works in that world: seizing the bounty of heaven and earth, one cannot survive without being driven to madness."

As Yinzi Sheng recalled, his eyes gradually lost focus.

“I was shocked by what my master said, because it was not the same as the cultivation I had always understood.”

In my understanding, spiritual practice should follow one's true nature and conform to the rhythm of the world's operation.

Cultivators enrich the world's Dao with their own insights, while the world, in turn, strengthens itself to provide cultivators with more cultivation resources, thus achieving harmonious coexistence.

As a major sect of immortals, it is even more important to take it upon itself to maintain world order and peace and protect all living beings.

One must not commit evil deeds, kill the innocent, or do anything harmful to the world. Furthermore, one must not disregard the lives of the weak and fight recklessly.

I believe this is true cultivation, true immortality. Those who do not know virtue or propriety, and who receive divine favors yet destroy the world, are no different from wild beasts.

It's just a group of stronger beasts fighting for a bigger piece of meat. Cultivation should also include self-cultivation!

Therefore, I questioned my master, because those so-called cultivators he spoke of are nothing more than rats in the street, practicing heresy!

"But when my master heard my doubts, he just smiled."

Yin Zisheng coughed twice: "Then he beat me up again, saying that I wasn't allowed to interrupt before Master finished speaking. Cough cough, that's not important."

Master said that all things in the world have seven emotions and six desires, and each has its own selfish desires. Although the world was rich in resources in the beginning, it was still limited. The rich wanted more, and the weak wanted to take a gamble. It is hard to say who was right and who was wrong.
