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

"Master, I will never practice the Heart-Swallowing Immortality Technique." Li Changxiao quickly shook his head.

The headmaster frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, and he seemed to be a little angry.

The easy-going old man who was talking about everything in the world just now disappeared silently, and was replaced by a cultivator who was easily irritated and angered.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

The head of the sect turned to Li Changxiao and started to curse him.

Calling him a waste.

No wonder he has only reached the Nascent Soul stage after practicing for more than a thousand years. There are so many people like him, and they are not even worth mentioning.

Curse him for being alive today purely by luck and being born early, otherwise he would have turned into a handful of earth long ago. How could I have the chance to sit in front of him and talk to him?

He cursed mercilessly and finally spat on the ground. He glared at Li Changxiao and asked him what kind of shitty wine this was. It was so disgusting. Only losers like you would like to drink this kind of earthly stuff.

His temperament changed drastically.

Li Changxiao remained indifferent.

The head of the sect sneered, but still refused to give in, saying: "Even if Song Xuan's practice went wrong, he is still a hundred times better than a waste like you. He dares to fight and is a pioneer, a star, while you are just the yellow soil on the ground."

The leader's words were sharp.

Every word is bound to penetrate deeply into the other person's heart.

However, Li Changxiao did not back down.

He refused to practice the Heart-Swallowing Longevity Technique no matter what.

The headmaster was very generous, but he had more to say.

He had no intention of letting Li Changxiao practice the Heart-Swallowing Longevity Technique.

Instead, he asked him to follow him and took him to a place to have a look.

The leader of the Panlong Sect walked towards the depths of the secret realm, and on the way asked Li Changxiao what he thought longevity was.

Li Changxiao frowned and replied, "Lifespan is just lifespan, what else could it be?"

The head sect leader cursed him as an idiot, saying that it was no wonder his cultivation speed was so slow and he hadn’t gained any insights into the great Dao.

He immediately said that life span was a mysterious thing.

He once thought that life span was a limitation bestowed on humans by the Great Dao, but later he overturned this idea because it was rumored that the Great Dao was dead. If life span was a limitation bestowed on humans by the Great Dao, then everyone should have achieved eternal life.

But in fact it is not.

So what exactly is life span?

The headmaster talked a lot and mentioned many ideas, but they were all just ideas.

To be honest, he didn't figure it out either. If he could figure it out, then his peak cultivation level would not just be the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Don't think that he called Li Changxiao a waste.

In fact, he himself is not that talented.

while walking.

Came to a cave.

Above the entrance of the cave, three large crooked characters were engraved: Changsheng Cave.

The handwriting is really not good.

The head of the sect looked back at Li Changxiao, and seeing that he had some intention of retreating, he sneered and said, "If you want to leave, you can leave now."

"But after you leave, what can you do?"

"Besides living on for a few hundred more years and then turning into a handful of dirt, is there any better ending?"

The leader's words seemed to strengthen Li Changxiao's determination.

The two stepped into the cave.

The cave was extremely narrow and could only accommodate one person at a time. After walking for a whole incense stick of time, the passage gradually became wider.

The leader came to his territory.

Although he did not understand the nature of lifespan.

But this did not stop him from seeking ways to prolong his life.

After all, the essence of lifespan is something that even the leader of Dao Sect cannot explain clearly.

Walk in the narrow passage.

The headmaster introduced Li Changxiao.

People pursue the great way, break through the realm, and gain longevity.

Now that the spiritual energy is exhausted and the Great Dao is dead, how can we continue to gain immortality?

Very simple.

Can't we just find something to replace the Tao?

When the headmaster said this, his eyes were filled with pride, as if only a genius like himself could come up with this method.

of course.

What made him even more proud was that this method worked!

After his spiritual energy was exhausted, he immediately collected all the books on life span in the Panlong Library.

Spent decades studying.

After such a long time, he should have achieved some results.

"Heart-Swallowing Longevity Technique"

"Blood-generating power"

"Most longevity techniques are evil techniques. I have practiced them all."

"Countless lives have been lost in my hands. Boy, do you still remember the Kongtong Sect near my Panlong Sect?"

The headmaster asked as he walked.

"Of course I remember." Li Changxiao replied, "The Kongtong Sect and the Panlong Sect have an irreconcilable feud."

The head of the sect chuckled, "Of course, the son of the leader of Kongtong Sect was killed by me when he was out for training. I pulled out his tendons and bones and sent him back. This hatred is huge."

"The leader of Kongtong Sect once came to me with a tombstone to seek revenge after his spiritual energy was exhausted. We fought a great battle and lost a lot of spiritual energy."

"Logically, I should not have much time left to live, but look at me, I am still alive and well, and full of energy. How can I show any signs of dying or the five signs of decline?"

The headmaster grinned, the previous immortal aura had long since disappeared.

Li Changxiao saw this and remained silent. He didn't know how much life the master had left, but the wrinkles on his face were already clearly visible.

"Master, what do you plan to use to replace the Tao?" Li Changxiao asked curiously.

"Evil God!" The leader replied. This evil god is not a certain person or a certain existence, but a concrete representative of an abstract existence like "Tao".

Li Changxiao thought to himself.

Sure enough.

Song Xuan, whom I met that day, had a black Buddha statue in his cave.

He felt strange at the time.

Although the Heart-Swallowing Longevity Technique is a magical skill, it does not seem to have any connection with the "evil god", right?

Why should we offer sacrifices?

Unexpectedly, I got the answer here today.

"Evil god?" Li Changxiao asked in confusion.

"That's right, evil god." The leader said, "People always achieve transcendence through the pursuit of faith."

"Since the Great Dao has fled, let's change to another belief."

"This is the way to immortality that I discovered."

talking.

The leader of the Panlong Sect took Li Changxiao through a stone gate.

The vision suddenly opens up.

There is a lot of space.

The first thing that catches your eye is a tall black Buddha statue.

With a green face and fangs, he looks ferocious and terrifying.

Secondly, there are more than a hundred people kneeling devoutly under the black Buddha statue.

He was a former inner disciple and elder of Panlong Sect.

Seeing this scene, Li Changxiao whispered softly: "Master, you are possessed by a demon."
