For some reason, Xu Weichen was quite concerned about the mayflies that Liu Yishu frequently mentioned.

I was particularly concerned about Liu Yishu's tone when he mentioned mayflies.

However, Liu Yishu actually asked him what he thought about this matter——

The man's inexplicable competitive spirit began to take effect.

"It's just destiny. It's destiny that's strong, not the mayfly itself," he said.

The look in Liu Yishu's eyes when he looked at him changed from surprise to sparkling.

"As expected of you, Master. You hit the nail on the head. It took me many years to figure out this truth."

"It's nothing but fate. Every sip and bite has its destiny!" Liu Yishu sighed.

"What impact does this incident have on you?" Xu Weichen asked.

He was particularly concerned about Liu Yishu's current condition.

"After the connection between the heaven and the earth, the spiritual energy of the immortals in the world has become increasingly thin. For powerful demons like us, we have to consume countless spiritual energy every time we breathe. Naturally, we are rejected by heaven and earth and have difficulty surviving. In order to survive, we can only abandon our flesh and find a mortal body as a host. I don't want to be contaminated by too many causes and effects, so I chose a dead fetus as a host. When I took over the body, this body had already separated from the mother and died. The body itself was contaminated with death and could not be completely integrated with my soul, so I have always been so weak."

His original intention was to tell Xu Weichen that although he had taken over another's body, he had never done anything evil, but Xu Weichen's attention was completely diverted -

"What's the solution?" Xu Weichen asked, "We can't stay this weak forever."

He also wants to be with Xiaoshu for a long time.

Liu Yishu did not hide anything and said bluntly: "I need the purest vitality, such as the wood essence condensed by the ancient species."

Xu Weichen thought of the bamboo forest on Xiaoyue Peak and consoled him, "Suzaku Continent is huge. There must be other ancient species. We have plenty of time. We can slowly look for them."

Liu Yishu smiled. The reason why the ancient relics are called relics is because the environment in which they live and the conditions in which they grow are extremely harsh. With the current rich spiritual energy in the Suzaku Continent, even if there are one or two of them, they will not be able to grow.

What's more, at the moment when the spiritual power in the spirit core dissipated, he sensed that Jianmu had broken out of the ground. From then on, most of the spiritual power of the Suzaku Continent would be used to nourish Jianmu's growth. As the nutrients of Jianmu, other prehistoric species would have no chance to grow.

Of course, it will become more and more difficult for cultivators to advance. I believe that those cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage will soon realize this.

Jianmu represents the hope of becoming an immortal, but it is despair for cultivators living in the present. I wonder what choice they will make?

Dachun is eight thousand years old for spring and another eight thousand years old for autumn. Jianmu is even more powerful than Dachun. It will take tens of thousands of years for it to give back to the world.

If a mortal cannot become an immortal, his lifespan will be at most three thousand years, and he will not even be able to wait until the Jianmu tree grows.

What's more, there is the variable Xu Weichen.

"Master, after leaving Taicang Mountain, let's settle down in Tianzong Mountain Range. This is the center of the entire Suzaku Continent. It has a favorable geographical location and is beneficial for cultivation."

In fact, it was because Xu Weichen absorbed part of the power of the spirit core. The spiritual power emitted from the spirit core was originally intended to nourish the creatures in this mountain range. Xu Weichen absorbed the spiritual power, which was considered a cause and effect relationship with this mountain range. Xu Weichen's practice here could just feed back the spiritual power to the creatures in this mountain range and end this cause and effect.

Although this cause and effect is insignificant compared to Xu Weichen's long life, when it comes to cause and effect, it's natural to owe as little as possible.

And if his perception was correct, Jianmu was growing somewhere in this mountain range.

Xu Weichen had no objection to this. They could live wherever Xiaoshu wanted to live. With his current level of cultivation, he could come and go freely anywhere in the Suzaku Continent except for a few remote places and the Suzaku King City with the God-Slaying Formation.

"It's up to you to decide," he said gently.

"Before that, let's go to Suzaku King City to watch the fun!" Liu Yishu suggested with a smile.

Xu Weichen held his forehead and asked, "Do you want the Vermillion Bird Seal?"

It's no wonder he asked this. Every time Liu Yishu went to see the so-called excitement, he always had some ulterior motive and never returned empty-handed.

Liu Yishu smiled slyly, "I mainly want to see how the legendary God-Slaying Formation kills gods. Of course, if there is a chance, I can also snatch the Vermillion Bird Seal back and give the little guy a surprise."

Xu Weichen smiled helplessly, "There aren't even any immortals on the Suzaku Continent, so how can there be any gods to kill?"

"But the formation in Suzaku King City..." Xu Weichen said seriously: "With my current cultivation level, I am not sure that I can escape unscathed, so I don't want you to take risks."

After all, the God-Slaying Formation had killed powerful beings in the fusion stage before.

"Master, don't worry, I can protect you!" Liu Yishu assured confidently.

Xu Weichen stretched out his finger and tapped Liu Yishu's forehead, saying helplessly: "Your promises are all based on the premise of hurting yourself. I can no longer trust you in this regard."

Liu Yishu curled his lips, "I am fine now, am I not? Even if my body is weak, I am still the Nine-Tailed Fox. Master, please don't underestimate me!"

"I have never dared to underestimate you, but I was afraid to see you weak. I always felt that you might leave me in the next second." Xu Weichen said as he covered his chest.

That uneasy feeling did not dissipate even after Liu Yishu revealed the secret to him. Instead, it became more and more intense.

Liu Yishu is an ancient demon with eternal life, while he is just an ordinary cultivator born in an era when it is impossible to become an immortal. The end of his life can be foreseen at a glance, and staying with Liu Yishu forever is just a luxury.

He felt suffocated whenever he thought that he was just a passer-by in Liu Yishu's endless life.

He doesn't want to be a passer-by, he just wants it to last forever.

"I will never leave Master."

This sentence is very simple, but Liu Yishu couldn't say it out loud because he knew he couldn't do it.

It is because I have lived long enough that I understand how difficult the word "forever" is.

Human hearts are fickle, and so are monsters' hearts. He has no way of guaranteeing that he will always love Xu Weichen.
