The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

Looking at the Buddhist saint in front of her, Bai Zhi was momentarily dazed.

Because he felt that the creature in front of him was no longer a saint, but a demon of desire disguised in human skin.

Seemingly sensing Bai Zhi's emotional change, the Buddhist sage smiled faintly and said, "You are surprised now because your understanding of Buddhism is not deep enough."

"The difference between Buddha and demon is just a thought away. Since I am a Buddhist saint, I am not far from becoming a demon."

“But as long as the ‘immortal’ is not found, I will never fall into the demonic path.”

"As for whether I will fall into the demonic path after the appearance of the 'immortal,' that is a distant and long unknown."

After saying this with a sigh, the Buddhist saint waved his hand and said, "Alright, we've strayed a bit from the topic. Let's get back to the main point."

"Back then, after the master of the Netherworld Forest and Meng had a conflict, the two sides fought fiercely."

"Because they are all top-tier experts, once they clash, the resulting commotion will be earth-shattering."

"So they chose two places to fight."

"The first place is the dream created by the Great Dream Immortal Technique, where the master of the Netherworld Forest was defeated in that battle."

"The second place is a special space, an experimental site built by another madman in his pursuit of immortality."

"This time, the master of the Netherworld Forest has emerged victorious."

"It is based on these two battles that we believe Meng's strength is almost invincible in the Dan Era."

"Furthermore, it was precisely because of the second battle that the Eternal Life Era encountered some problems."

"The intense battle caused a crack to appear in that special space, and the ominous thing fell out from there."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi felt a pang of anxiety and said...

"So the ominous influence that has plagued the Eternal Life Era for millions of years was caused by a battle?"

"Yes!"

"So you're just going to ignore it?"

"We've taken care of it!"

"In order to ward off the misfortune, we launched a protracted battle and eventually built the Bronze Temple."

"But we didn't have much experience dealing with this for the first time."

"Left with no other choice, we could only expel those who held hope for the ominous and then suppress some of the more difficult-to-eliminate ominous forces."

"As time went by, the powerful beings possessed by the ominous spirit died, but the ominous spirit beneath the ancient bronze palace still lingered."

"Originally, as long as no one was pushing behind the scenes, even if the ominous signs beneath the bronze temple were leaked, they wouldn't spread very far."

"Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. The guy that Chen Changsheng sealed away has actually made new progress in the use of ominous things."

"If that's not the case, then misfortune isn't as difficult to get rid of as you imagine."

Upon receiving this answer, Bai Zhi pursed her lips and asked, "Then what kind of person was the being sealed away by the Imperial Tutor?"

"A person who wanted to be a madman, but was terrified by real madmen."

"What do you mean?"

"He has many titles, but I heard that everyone calls him Yao Lao now, so I'll use that name for now."

"Old Master Yao is just like us, pursuing immortality, but he didn't live as long as we did, so he wasn't as deeply entangled in it as we were."

"Whether it's a stroke of luck or the methods of a madman, he wants any means that can prolong his life."

"He stole and robbed the elixir of the Dan Era, but in the end, he was driven away by Meng."

"Because Meng cannot leave the Dan Era at will, we did not try to kill him completely."

"Until one day, this guy turned his attention to the Nether Forest and messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and said, "The master of the Netherworld Forest went after Yao Lao with deadly intent?"

"It's not just a matter of killing, it's a fight to the death!"

"The Netherworld Forest is something that some madman is researching. If Yao Lao is eyeing the Netherworld Forest, it's like cutting off someone's path to immortality."

"This is absolutely intolerable to those lunatics."

"It was precisely for this reason that Yao Lao was hunted down by the master of the Netherworld Forest for over 30,000 years."

"At that time, the entire era was turned upside down by the two of them."

"and after?"

Bai Zhi pressed further, and the Buddhist sage replied, "Later, it seems that something happened to the master of the Netherworld Forest, so he stopped pursuing Elder Yao."

"Then why didn't you kill Elder Yao back then?"

Why did we kill him?

"It's Yao Lao's business to steal the elixir; he didn't steal anything from us."

"Besides, back then, the cultivation world was all about fighting and robbing each other. It wasn't like you people are being so reasonable now."

The words of the Buddhist saint left Bai Zhi speechless for a moment.

After a moment's thought, Bai Zhi asked, "I've remembered everything you said, but what does the successive appearances of powerful figures from all sides have to do with the return of the master of the Netherworld Forest?"

"Judging from your description, it seems unlikely that the master of the Netherworld Forest would be involved in the power division of the Eternal Life Era."

“He’s certainly not interested in this kind of thing, but don’t forget he’s a dangerous madman.”

"In pursuit of immortality, these people are willing to do anything and try anything."

"He's back after many years, and heaven knows what he's brought back."

"If we don't prepare in advance, we might not even have the chance to escape."

"What if he comes back to find Meng Si Zhan? Do you know how much of an impact that would have?"

Upon hearing this, a bead of cold sweat appeared on Bai Zhi's forehead.

"He can't be that crazy, can he?"

"Can someone who isn't crazy be called crazy?"

"Although these people do not recognize 'immortals,' it does not mean that they do not want to find 'immortals.'"

"Immortals are currently the most likely beings to achieve immortality, and these madmen have been trying to capture and study them for quite some time now."

"Meng possesses the Great Dream Immortal Technique, and there are countless powerful individuals in the world who desire this technique."

"If he stays in the Dan Era, people might not bother him, but once he leaves the Dan Era, it's hard to say."

"Since Dream is practically invincible in the Dan Era, then..."

"I already said he's crazy. Can you use common sense to calculate what a madman does?"

The Buddhist saint interrupted Bai Zhi directly, saying seriously, "We want the Great Dream Immortal Technique, and we will consider the losses caused by this approach, as well as the probability of this plan succeeding."

"And those madmen who want the Great Dream Immortal Technique will smash your door with their fists and steal it from you."

"The losses caused by this behavior, and whether they themselves will die, are not within their consideration."

"In their minds, if they cannot achieve immortality, there is no difference between them and being dead!"

"Now you know why we're afraid of these lunatics."

"Because once they set their sights on you, they will really fight you to the death."

"What's even more terrifying is that these lunatics are all incredibly strong; when they go berserk, very few people can defeat them."
