The saint starts out by traveling around the world with a group of elves.

The perspective shifts to the other side.

The Tiangu Realm is a world of cultivation. A thousand years ago, the Tiangu Realm was a thriving place. Although it cannot be said that there were many Nascent Souls like dogs and Shenhuas everywhere, the situation was not much different.

However, a sudden catastrophe between heaven and earth destroyed the prosperity of the ancient world. The spiritual veins of heaven and earth began to dry up, and the laws of heaven and earth were in turmoil. While the future of the world of cultivation was cut off, an extremely horrific consequence was also caused.

That is the disaster of longevity!

The cultivation system of the Tiangu Realm is extremely traditional, including Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, refining emptiness, fusion and transcending tribulation. Above transcending tribulation one becomes an immortal, but even before the great tribulation, let alone an immortal, even a cultivator in the tribulation transcending stage is just a vague legend.

According to the realm classification, the lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Stage is two hundred years, the Golden Elixir Stage is five hundred years, the Nascent Soul Stage is one thousand years, and the Spirit Transformation Stage has an even greater lifespan of two thousand years!

There is no concept of lifespan for those who have reached the level of Lianxu or above. As long as one stays in the Tiangu Realm and survives thunder tribulations that are more severe than the last, one can theoretically achieve eternal life!

Of course, this is just theory. It is basically impossible to withstand the thunder tribulation nine times.

But no matter what, a cultivator of the Void Refining stage will definitely live longer than a Nascent Soul stage, provided that the great catastrophe of heaven and earth had not occurred a thousand years ago, and the Ancient Heaven Realm had not encountered a longevity disaster!

What is the meaning of longevity disaster? It can be summarized in a very simple sentence.

No matter what realm of cultivator you are at, your lifespan is only allowed to reach a maximum of 500 years!

This means that even the legendary monster who can cross the tribulation can only live to 500 years old!

The most horrific catastrophe in the world of cultivation has occurred. Countless ancestors such as the God Transformation Ancestor and the Void Refining Ancestor who were chatting and laughing or practicing in seclusion the previous second have passed away.

This is a catastrophe of heaven and earth, which cannot be stopped by human power!

Due to the longevity disaster and the exhaustion of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, the cultivation world of the ancient world has never recovered since then, and even the god transformation has become a legend now!

In today's Tiangu Realm, Yuanying can also be called an ancestor. How sad! How painful!

Of course, these had nothing to do with An Xue. Looking at the regretful expression on her senior brother's face, An Xue, who was only 14 years old, actually found it a little hard to understand.

"Brother, since this is a great catastrophe of heaven and earth, we can only live with it, right?"

But unexpectedly, after An Xue said this, the boy about 17 years old walking in front of her stopped, turned around, looked into An Xue's eyes and said seriously.

"Junior sister, this is wrong. You must remember that we sword cultivators do not believe in heaven and earth. We only believe in the swords in our hands. There is absolutely no such thing as surviving the catastrophe!"

The young man spoke each word clearly, and it was obvious that he took these words as his guiding principle. An Xue nodded. Although she still didn't quite understand, as a little junior sister who was loved by all the disciples under the tutelage of Elder Qingyou of Tianjian Mountain, An Xue had one advantage, which was that she was well-behaved and obedient.

"Yeah, that's good, let's keep going!"

The young man nodded, a look of satisfaction emerging on his face, but An Xue secretly covered her mouth and chuckled. Senior Brother Mu Feng is obviously a teenager, but he always looks so mature~!

An Xue and Mu Feng are already cultivators in the foundation-building stage. In this age when spiritual veins are drying up, it is not easy to have such an accomplishment at this age. They deserve to be praised as geniuses!

The mountain gate mission that the senior brothers and sisters accepted this time was very simple. In fact, rather than calling it a mission, it would be more accurate to say that An Xue just wanted to accompany her senior brother to relax.

There was no admiration between the young boy and the girl, it was just that An Xue felt that her senior brother Mu Feng was a little too dull, and it was not good for him to stay in his own yard all day without going out.

The brothers and sisters’ task today is to patrol the mountains.

In fact, he was just strolling around Tianjian Mountain to see if there were any abnormal situations. But in fact, the probability of abnormal situations occurring was extremely low. After all, this was the location of the mountain gate of Tianjian Mountain, and the evil cultivators and monsters would avoid it as much as possible. How could they be so uncomfortable when they had nothing to do?

But an accident happened today. An Xue and Mu Feng, who were flying on swords, looked at the natural and freehand buildings in front of them with a look of bewilderment and confusion on their faces.

Were these buildings originally there in this place?

"Look, Brother, there are words engraved on the stone tablet in front!"

An Xue had sharper eyes and soon saw a few large characters on a piece of mountain that looked more like a vertically flattened mountain than a stone tablet.

These few words were vigorous and powerful, written with such force and grace that just one glance at them gave people an inexplicable spiritual shock, causing An Xue and Mu Feng's bodies to tremble violently!

"Zixiao Palace?"

Mu Feng read out the words on the stone tablet word by word. He only felt that these three words were filled with unspeakable terrifying power!

But this feeling came and went quickly. When Mu Feng looked again, the words on the stone tablet seemed to have returned to normal words.

Is this an illusion? Mu Feng was still somewhat suspicious.

"Brother, shall we go visit?"

An Xue also had the same feeling, but she also felt that the three words "Zixiao Palace" were grand and majestic. This Zixiao Palace that appeared out of nowhere should belong to a decent sect.

"Well, let's go visit."

After thinking for a while, Mu Feng quickly made a decision. This place was so close to the gate of Tianjian Mountain. Even if there was real danger, his master would be able to arrive within a quarter of an hour after sending out the communication talisman.

The two of them flew down on their swords and soon arrived at the only main gate.

"Stop, who are you?"

A black ape with an extraordinary appearance suddenly appeared and blocked An Xue and Mu Feng.

A monster that speaks human language?

Mu Feng was shocked. A demon beast that could awaken its intelligence and speak human language must be at least at the Golden Core stage!

What is the origin of this Zixiao Palace? They actually use Jindan stage monsters to guard the gate? !

"Senior, I am Mu Feng, the disciple of Qingyou Zhenren from Tianjian Mountain, and this is my junior sister An Xue."

"We brothers and sisters came here this time to pay a visit to your esteemed sect."

Mu Feng only said that he was there for a visit, and his expression and tone were just right, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh? From Tianjian Mountain? Then you guys can go in."

The Sky-stepping Demon Ape glanced at Mu Feng, then made way for him and started meditating with his eyes closed.

An Xue and Mu Feng looked at each other. It sounded like they had already expected their visit?

The senior and junior brothers and sisters bowed to the Sky-Trampling Demon Ape. A thousand years ago, there might have been hatred between the human race and the monsters in the ancient world, but after the Longevity Disaster, this hatred was completely eliminated and was not worth mentioning.

Performing this salute is just the basic etiquette for low-level cultivators in the world of cultivation when facing their seniors.

The Sky-stepping Demon Ape naturally accepted the gift calmly. Although it was not a Jindan cultivator, in terms of strength, it had recovered its vitality and increased its strength in Chu Yi's small world, so it was only right for it to accept this gift.

However, the Sky-stepping Demon Ape still had some appreciation for such polite senior brothers and sisters. He opened his eyes and looked at An Xue and Mu Feng's backs again. The Sky-stepping Demon Ape hoped that they could seize this opportunity.

If you grasp it, reaching the sky in one step will be easy.
