The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

"I like my current state. Transformation is not the path I want to choose."

"I'll try to get this spot together with you."

Upon hearing the answer from the Ten Thousand Year Bodhi Tree, the Moon Goddess shook her head and said, "Chen Changsheng has set up a test, drawing in the geniuses of two great eras."

"Only the most outstanding talents are qualified to compete for this spot; we have no way to participate."

“Then bring back the person you chose, and I will help him.”

Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess frowned and said, "Can't we choose from the Heavenly Lotus Sect?"

"The people of the Heavenly Lotus Sect cannot defeat the geniuses of the Longevity Era, let alone those who are competing for a spot this time."

"Dugu has found a very special sword genius, and this genius has already begun to show his talent."

"The people of the Heavenly Lotus Sect alone cannot defeat him."

The moon goddess was somewhat surprised by this answer.

"How come I didn't know about this?"

"Dugu's sword is very domineering. If he really wants to block something, even a dream cannot monitor him all the time."

"Chen Changsheng made some deals with Dugu, and he also helped that person perfect his Dao."

"If this person gets involved, the Heavenly Lotus Sect will be no match for them."

"Even Dugu would compete for such a spot?"

"do not know!"

The Bodhi tree swayed gently and said, "I sensed it when that person unleashed his swordsmanship, which is why I knew that Chen Changsheng and Dugu were together."

"As for whether Dugu will compete for this spot, I don't know either."

"Okay, I understand."

“Disciples of the Heavenly Lotus Sect will participate, and I will also look for other promising talents.”

"Let's secure the spots first, and then we can figure out the rest later."

After speaking, the Moon Goddess disappeared from the spot, while the ten-thousand-year-old Bodhi tree continued to sway in the wind.

......

A small world somewhere.

"Depend on!"

"Why didn't he say something like this beforehand? Now he's suddenly doing this. Who could be prepared?"

Upon seeing Chen Changsheng's message, Yun Yazi immediately cursed.

Seeing this, Dugu, who was meditating to the side, said, "If you weren't prepared, then naturally no one else was either."

"Fair competition, what are you afraid of?"

"Whether it's fair or not is not important; people at our level don't need any fairness."

"The key issue is that I wasn't prepared."

"The imperial tutor's relics that he created were clearly meant to pit the geniuses of two great eras against each other."

"Now he's suddenly offering the spots for leaving the Dan Era as a reward for the third stage."

"Where am I supposed to find a prodigy to join the fray and compete for this opportunity in such a short time?"

Seeing Yun Yazi's eager expression, Dugu said calmly, "You can go to the Pill Domain to choose!"

"As the former master of the Pill Tower, it shouldn't be a problem for you to go to the Pill Domain and select a few geniuses."

“Picking a few geniuses isn’t a problem, but finding someone who can guarantee a championship is the real challenge.”

"That malevolent figure not only touched the threshold of the soul, but was also taught secret techniques by a mysterious person, and his malevolent energy has been effectively controlled."

"Not to mention Mo Bai, even I can't figure out the origin of the technique he uses."

"It's estimated that the Qilin clan snatched it from some powerful being when they went out to search for immortal opportunities."

"Even an ordinary genius wouldn't be confident of winning against these two."

"Not to mention, the five surnames and four clans each have their own top geniuses."

Hearing Yun Yazi's complaint, Dugu said, "It seems you've forgotten someone."

"Mo Bai and Sha Ying encountered a woman named Shangguan on their way. She was powerful and had a deep background. She was clearly someone's successor."

"Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the crystal physique she cultivates should be a unique skill from a man named Green Demon True Monarch from 500,000 years ago."

"The defensive power of this physique is unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately, this woman has not yet mastered it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yazi frowned and said, "Of course I remember him!"

"Five hundred thousand years ago, I was in charge of the Pill Domain, full of vigor and ambition, while you had mastered the sword and were unmatched."

"At that time, this Green Demon Lord dominated one side, and even the Five Surnames and Seven Realms had to avoid his sharp edge."

"Later, he offended the Pill Domain, and I fought him for three days and returned victorious."

"But unfortunately, I was never able to break through his defenses."

"Later, you personally came to his door with your sword, and he survived your full-force sword strike. How could I forget someone like that?"

After listening to Yun Yazi's recollection, Dugu gently stroked the sword sheath, as if recalling the events of that year.

"I didn't intend to get involved in this matter back then, but that person was too arrogant, so I had to teach him a lesson."

Looking back now, I realize I was a bit too young and impetuous back then.

"Who told him to have such a foul mouth!"

"He dared to spout nonsense just because he had cultivated a special physique, even saying that no one in the world could break his defense."

“Your sword strike not only broke his defenses, but also shattered his Dao heart.”

"This can be considered a kind of retribution for him."

"By the way, you were the one who fought Green Demon Lord in the end. You also said that you didn't kill him because you thought his cultivation was not easy."

"So where did he go after that?"

In response to Yun Yazi's question, Dugu said calmly, "After I broke through his crystal physique, I no longer had any intention of killing him."

"But because of this, his Dao heart was shattered, and he passed away right in front of me."

"Suicide?"

"Correct!"

"With the death of Green Demon True Monarch, this unique skill of the Crystal Physique has been lost forever, which is why I said that I was young and impetuous back then."

"The loss of such a unique skill is indeed a great loss to the cultivation world."

"Then why does this kind of crystalline constitution reappear in the world?"

"I don't know about that. You know the most about the Heavenly Dao Society, but I'm not very interested in that."

"Chen Changsheng had just finalized the terms with Meng when this woman named Shangguan appeared."

"This approach clearly indicates an attempt to cultivate a puppet to replace oneself."

"The reason he doesn't pass on his unique skills is probably to avoid Meng's apprehension."

"Meng has never been too willing to leave Dan Era. Before things are settled, no one can guarantee that he won't change his mind."

"This approach can indeed largely prevent the tracking of dreams."

Upon receiving this answer, Yun Yazi became even more anxious.

"No, I must try for this spot."

"You come with me to find a genius, and then we'll have this genius beat everyone else to a pulp."

"Go by yourself, I won't get involved."

"why?"

Dugu rejected Yun Yazi's suggestion, and Yun Yazi asked in surprise, "Haven't you always wanted to leave the Pill Era?"

“I really want to leave Dan Era, but Chen Changsheng has already given me a spot.”

"In addition, I found a very talented swordsman eighteen years ago."

"Chen Changsheng is instructing him on my behalf."

Yun Yazi: "......"

So you were all prepared, and I was the only one who wasn't!
