The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

"The spiritual energy has completely disappeared."

Verdant green mountains, rippling blue water and a solitary boat.

There were two people on the boat, one in white and the other an old man rowing the boat.

The guest in white was lying at the stern, stretching himself. He had just woken up, and then he unscrewed the wine gourd at his waist and took a gulp of the century-old wine, which was slightly bitter and fragrant and lingered for a long time.

So cool.

"Hakka, what is this spiritual energy you are talking about?" the old man rowing the boat asked curiously.

“Spiritual energy…” Hearing the boatman’s question, the man in white put his hands behind his head, his eyes penetrating the clouds, he looked calm on the surface but was already sighing in his heart.

yes……

It has been three hundred years since the spiritual energy began to dry up.

People in this world no longer even remember what spiritual energy is.

The past flashed through his mind and he took another sip of the wine. The aroma of the mellow wine filled the air and attracted the fish in the lake to gather there.

The guest in white is named Li Changxiao. He is an immortal and also a time traveler.

When he was still an infant, he had developed intelligence at an early age due to time travel. He looked around and found himself in a simple bedroom.

He knew that he was reborn into the right place.

He was born in a royal family and was a prince.

Just as he was fantasizing about becoming a carefree prince and enjoying the world.

The palace maids' gossip made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave. His young heart could not bear the blow and he burst into tears on the spot.

He is a concubine's son.

My mother was once a palace maid and had no status in the palace. When she was about to give birth, only two palace maids and a midwife were sent.

There are four hundred and thirty-seven princes in the Lingtian Dynasty.

Li Changxiao's birth did not make a single splash; even his name was not recorded in the ancestral family.

That's why his mother named him Li Changxiao, hoping that he would laugh often.

"Mom, mom. Have you ever considered that my last name is Li?" Li Changxiao took another sip of the wine.

Naturally, his mother's wish was dashed.

He was not happy. In the deep palace, the mother and son depended on each other. Li Changxiao wanted to use his precocity as a time traveler to attract his father's attention and change the fate of the mother and son.

Can……

This is a world of cultivating immortals!

What does precociousness mean? Lingtian Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are many precocious people.

If those in power don’t like someone, they just don’t like him/her. It has nothing to do with talent, it only has to do with birth.

So, when my mother took her last breath, she was unable to see my father.

Afterwards, Li Changxiao was falsely accused and thrown into prison because of an unexpected disaster.

He thought he would spend the rest of his life in prison, but when he was seventeen years old, the emperor of the time, his father, traveled all over the mountains and rivers to accomplish supreme achievements, and then he offered sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tianquan and granted amnesty to the world!

Li Changxiao was among them, but someone interfered and he was exiled 30,000 miles away to a remote place.

Later, by chance, he came into contact with spiritual practice.

Even though these past events happened nearly a thousand years ago, they are still vivid in my mind.

After coming into contact with cultivation, Li Changxiao did not have a smooth journey and began his road to counterattack.

His aptitude was mediocre and his spiritual roots were mixed. The sect leader at that time asserted that it would be difficult for this boy to establish a foundation in his lifetime!

In that era when geniuses were born in large numbers and spiritual energy was flourishing, even chickens and ducks were at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training. The headmaster's words were tantamount to saying...

Li Changxiao is only slightly better than chickens and ducks.

It was later proved that the headmaster was right. Li Changxiao's cultivation was indeed very slow. His fellow disciples who entered the sect together had already established a perfect foundation, a purple qi foundation, and a flawless foundation, but he... was still at the third level of Qi training.

But he did not lose heart.

Because as a time traveler, he is still a little bit different from others.

He possesses a special physique: the Great Dream Immortality Body!

The Great Dream Immortal Body was not recorded in ancient books, and could not be detected by any magical instrument, but he himself knew it naturally, as if it was engraved in his soul and was innate.

There are three main abilities.

First: When you fall asleep, everything in your body will continue to be repaired, even if your heart is damaged, your foundation is shattered, and your spiritual energy is scattered, all can be repaired.

In short, wake up feeling like you’re back to peak performance.

Second: The longer it sleeps, the longer its life span will be increased tenfold.

Third: Have a dream space.

In addition to the three main abilities, he can also plant dreams, control dreams, weave dreams, and collect dreams.

however…

This rare immortal body was like chicken ribs in that era of flourishing spiritual energy.

A genius with high aptitude for cultivation will take advantage of the situation and make a breakthrough in his cultivation. His lifespan is inexhaustible, so why should he rely on sleep to replenish it?

In addition, the spiritual energy is rich and there are countless spiritual treasures from heaven and earth.

A magical herb can increase your lifespan by three thousand years. How easy is that?

so…

Li Changxiao has still not had a good life since he started practicing Buddhism. He has been struggling all the way, and the hardships he has gone through are not something that can be told to outsiders.

He has joined a sect, dug mines, and served as a death warrior.

Being used as a stepping stone by Tianjiao...

I have been to the Holy Land and worked as a servant of the Holy Lady...

Abandoned as a pawn...

Betrayed...

The brilliance of the cultivation world has nothing to do with him.

"Hahaha, there are three million stars in the sky, but I, Li Changxiao, am not one of them." Thinking of this, Li Changxiao raised the wine gourd in his hand and said with a smile, "I can only drink."

"What a weird guy." The old boatman whispered.

A lone boat paddles across the green water.

It started to drizzle, and the mountain stream felt a little cooler.

Li Changxiao naturally heard it.

He just smiled carefreely and didn't care.

When the cultivation world was at its peak, there were as many geniuses as the stars in the sky, more than three million.

However, Li Changxiao was just a spectator. With his talent, he could not possibly join the competition among the prodigies.

All he could do was to constantly hone himself, endure the bullying, practice, practice...

After much difficulty, three hundred years ago, he finally succeeded in forming a fetus and became a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

In that era, people in the Nascent Soul stage were not uncommon, and were even numerous, but Li Changxiao was very satisfied.

He laughed, laughed out loud, laughed until tears came out, sat alone on the top of the mountain, drank strong liquor for three days, and fell asleep in a deep sleep.

Wake up the next day.

God and the whole world played a huge joke on us.

The spiritual energy weakened by more than half overnight!

At that time, countless emperors of the six dynasties panicked and ran around the world just to find out the reason for the decline of spiritual energy.

The leader of the Dao Sect even predicted that this decline in spiritual energy would last for a hundred years!

All forces, big and small, were in danger and stayed indoors, blocking the spiritual energy of their sects. The spiritual veins that were once everywhere quickly dried up.

One hundred years later.

The spiritual energy exhaustion did not ease.

On the contrary... the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is no longer sufficient to maintain the operation of the sect protection formation!

Countless forces could not withstand such a blow and disbanded.

Two hundred years later.

The spiritual energy is completely exhausted, and there are rumors that the Dao is dead!

The spiritual energy was exhausted, and the three million stars in the sky were hidden in the dense clouds. The cultivation of countless people began to regress and gradually became mortals.

Lifespan has also been greatly reduced. Once upon a time, one magical herb could increase one's lifespan by 3,000 years. Now, if it can increase it by three years, people would be overjoyed.

"There are more than three million dead bones on the ground, but I, Li Changxiao, am not one of them." Li Changxiao's white clothes fluttered, and his eyes were wrapped in a dreamy mist.

The Great Dream Immortal Body is not like other physiques that will gradually lose its power as its spiritual energy is depleted.

He should increase his lifespan as needed, and when his spiritual energy is exhausted, he can recover it by sleeping, so there is no need to save it.

In addition, even a small amount of spiritual energy can be generated in his dream space.

These spiritual energies can be used for spiritual practice.

In other words, the only thing that had anything to do with whether the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was depleted or not was that his cultivation speed would slow down a little.

"Hakka, where are you going? Are you going to Beijing to take the imperial examination?" The old man rowing the boat turned around and asked, thinking that this man was really strange, sometimes he looked like stars and sometimes like dry bones, and he spoke in a very literary way.

"As for me, I'm going to Lingtian Dynasty." Li Chang said with a smile.
