Living forever in the deep palace

"Lord Tiandao Shen."

"I know you're here. I don't want any favors. I can even give this spot to someone else."

"I want to ask you for something..."

Xia, with white hair and dressed in linen clothes, was bowing in all directions, begging Su Chen to come out and meet him.

Su Chen pondered and said nothing.

He naturally knew why Xia Xun wanted to meet him.

He and Lei Ming were enemies and rivals in the first half of their lives, chasing each other and competing with each other for several eras. In the second half of their lives, they became gods one after another and made progress hand in hand. It would not be accurate to say that they were close friends.

now.

Lei Ming reached perfection in the second realm but failed in his attempt to reach the third realm. His foundation and vitality were greatly damaged, so he handed the Lei Sect over to the disciples of the Spirit Transformation Realm and returned to the Central Region to continue the bloodline of his immortal cultivation family.

This means he is about to die of old age and is already preparing for his funeral.

Life and death are predetermined.

This is the only way for the immortal world to become complete and mature. Su Chen is not going to intervene, even if Lei Ming dies, three of his Changqing Dao Marks will wither.

But Xia was his most devout believer after all, and the manager of the Five Realms Immortal Apertures appointed by him personally. Although he had not met him for all these years, he still spared no effort in promoting the plan of creating a new god. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard.

"I already know about this."

"Of course."

"Life and death are predetermined."

"All I can do is give him a chance to reach the third realm again!"

After thinking about it, Su Chen let the world spirit clone leave the temple and appear in front of Xia.

A glowing immortal stone was suspended in front of Xia.

This is one of the three medium-grade immortal stones.

Lei Ming is getting old, his mentality is also fluctuating, and he has lost his fighting spirit. Even with this mid-grade immortal essence stone, there is a risk of failing to reach the third realm and dying.

But Su Chen still gave it.

"This item can allow Lei Ming to reach the third realm again."

"but."

"You have to think clearly. If you fail, his limited lifespan will be burned out in an instant. Do you still want to persist?"

Xia's eyes trembled, and he opened his mouth to speak, but still couldn't say the words of refusal. He gritted his teeth and said.

"I don't want Lei Ming to die!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Please pass it on for me, sir!"

A friendship of more than 19,000 years is not so easy to give up. Even though Xia knew that Lei Ming might die, he still wanted to be selfish for once.

"it is good."

Su Chen nodded, turned and left.

Only Xia stood there, distraught, looking far away towards the central region, clenching his fists and muttering.

"Old friend."

"You can't die. If you die, I'll be... very lonely!"

……

……

The Lei family in Zhongyu.

Lei Ming was lying on his sickbed, extremely old. The five signs of decay had already been inflicted upon his divine body. A peculiar smell of decay, typical of an old man, wafted from his body.

After listening to Su Chen's retelling, Lei Ming stared at the mid-grade immortal stone in front of him. He could clearly sense the power contained within it that could recreate the immortal opportunity.

If he swallowed and refined this immortal essence stone to nourish the vitality in his body and did not try to break through to the third realm, he would have no problem living for a few hundred more years.

But, is Lei Ming such a person?

"hehe."

"This old thing."

"He's still so indecisive and still likes to make decisions for others. I really don't know how he cultivated to the level of a Third Realm Immortal Lord!"

Lei Ming shook his head and laughed, mocking and ridiculing.

Subsequently.

He stared at Su Chen in front of him, the turbidity and oldness in his eyes disappeared, the energy in his body continued to rise, and he suddenly used thundering means to kill Su Chen.

"What do you mean?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

He is here to bring you opportunities!

Instead of taking the mid-grade immortal essence stone, which could lead to the third realm or even longevity, they attacked him. What was going on?

Not to mention an old second-level celestial being who has suffered the five signs of decay, even a third-level celestial being in peak condition may not be a match for his world spirit clone.

Lei Ming didn't seem to be hiding his cultivation level.

and so.

What's happening here?

Su Chen attacked repeatedly and fought against Lei Ming, but he was still one move behind and a corner of his robe was blasted off by Lei Ming's dark thunder.

"What's the meaning."

Countless conspiracy speculations emerged in Su Chen's mind, even the speculation that the seventh-grade dragon immortal used some means to incite rebellion, and the alien gods contacted Lei Ming, etc. flashed through his mind.

"Hahaha!"

"really."

"Just as I guessed, you, the Heavenly Dao God, are just a more powerful immortal Taoist priest. This place is truly an immortal orifice, and we are all creatures in a small world..."

Lei Ming laughed heartily, as if he had resolved something in his heart. He felt refreshed all over and his energy was released.

In a trance.

He seemed to have returned to the past.

When he was in the Solitary Immortal Land, after learning about these many secrets, Lei Ming, who had never believed in the God of Heaven, naturally gave up this so-called belief.

But Xia was stubborn and remained faithful to his beliefs even when there was evidence before him.

"To us, the God of Heaven is the ancestor god of creation, our father god. Even if he knows this secret, what can he do?"

"The God of Heaven should still be my faith!"

At that time, Lei Ming argued with him and made a bet that he must fight with this so-called God of Heaven so that he could see through the true strength of this so-called God of Heaven.

He is not high and mighty, nor is he invincible, even if he can only tear off a corner of his opponent's clothes.

Perhaps, Xia had already forgotten about this bet.

Perhaps, this bet should have been buried in the sands of time.

but.

Lei Ming remembered it.

"Old man Xia."

"Ever since you entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm, you have defeated me my entire life. At this moment of death, I can also be considered to have defeated you once."

"I won."

"I am the mighty Lei Ming, a man of pride. Why do I need your mercy or the mercy of the God of Heaven? I am Lei Ming!"

The divine light in Lei Ming's cloudy eyes gradually faded away. He stretched out his hand and grabbed forward. A piece of torn clothes fell into his palm.

In a trance.

He seemed to no longer be the old man with the five signs of decay, but the peerless monster in the first generation of human beings who shook the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces with his thunder magic.

He was still young at that time.

At that time, he was very successful.

Unfortunately, time is the most unforgiving!

Lei Ming is dead.

There seemed to be a sound of weeping echoing between heaven and earth. It was the sound of the howling wind coming from nowhere, carrying with it the wind and snow, drifting over the Lei family in the Central Region.

"The ancestor has passed away!"

Someone noticed something was wrong and broke into the ancestor's attic, and immediately started crying.

This day.

Sad news came from the Lei family in the Central Region: the ancestor passed away.

Since then.

Among the first generation of human ancestors, Xia is the only one left.

"juvenile."

"What was my ambition as a teenager?"

Su Chen never left. He stood above the weeping Lei family in the Central Region, stretched out his hands, and snow fell on his palms.

Through that wisp of snowflakes, he saw his former self, the Wind and Snow Sword Immortal, the Supreme True Dragon, the Nine-Life Prodigy, the True Prodigy, and now... the Terrible Immortal.

As for the ambition of his youth, he had long forgotten it.

Just really forgot?

"In the past, when I saw others suffer injustice, my heart would waver, and I would feel a sense of injustice in my heart that I could never suppress."

"I used to be willing to wield the sword for the people. Even though I was immature at times and things got worse and worse, the heart of Akagi in my chest still beats."

"Now I am..."

Su Chen was high above the ten domains and nine states, looking down at the two worlds with his eyes. He felt that all living beings were like ants, the mortal world was so noisy, and it was cold up there.

A voice told him.

All true immortals are like this.

Possessing the supreme power to transcend all living beings, one will cast aside the heart of a mortal. This is what is called an immortal!

But Su Chen felt it was wrong.

Even immortals should have a mortal heart and be able to sympathize with all living beings.

"If I become an immortal, I will definitely find back the hearts of the people I have lost..."

Su Chen whispered.

hum!

At this moment, the lush branches and leaves of the Changsheng Dao tree vibrated rapidly, and in response, the embryo of the Dao Heavenly Soldier that was covered in dust in the Sleepless Immortal City began to show spider-web-like cracks.

Su Chen was unaware of all this, as his attention had already shifted to the Akagi Immortal Aperture.

At this time, True Lord Yamie got the opportunity and officially succeeded in his attack on the Third Realm Immortal Lord today.

boom!

Originally, three Dao Marks were destroyed, and the atmosphere of mourning between heaven and earth suddenly became solemn, and seven more Dao Marks slowly grew out.

319 Evergreen Dao Marks, minus three and adding seven, makes 323 Evergreen Dao Marks.

Although it is not much, it is also an increase in combat power.

Su Chen's figure disappeared and turned into a stream of light, and reappeared in the Chimu Immortal Aperture. He looked at Xia, who was hunched in front of him and seemed to have aged many years. Xia recounted everything about Lei Ming's death to him in the form of light and shadow.

"You old fellow... why do you have to be so stubborn about saving face at this very moment..."

"Only by staying alive can you continue to beat me a second time."

"the third time……"

Xia spoke in a low voice, his voice choked with sobs.

After a long time.

He bowed to Su Chen, then staggered to the Chimu Xianqiao Jiuzhou to seek the path to quasi-immortality.

Su Chen did not feel too sad about Lei Ming's death.

He left marks on the bodies of the five-realm gods in the third realm and the three gods in the second realm, keeping a close eye on them. Then he began to wait in the temple of the Red Wood Immortal Aperture.

One day in the ancestral land is equivalent to a hundred years in the immortal world.

I think the last two top-level evil gods who are still alive will not appear so easily.

"In three hundred years, the immortal orifice will mature and the immortal essence will be born."

"I just don't know."

"Can my body bear it? Although my combat power has reached the threshold of True Immortal, I still need to improve it to the Great Perfection of the Evergreen Immortal Path to be absolutely safe."

The first ten years of Akagi Immortal's life.

Lu You chose to go to the weakest state among the Nine States, worship the ancient clan of the quasi-immortal overlord, become a worshiper, and began to plan his path to the Three Realms.

This operation went quite smoothly. Although there were some ups and downs, it was safe and sound. On the contrary, relying on the fact that he was less than two thousand years old and had already reached the second level of Heavenly Monarch, he was highly valued by the dominant family in this area.

Even one of the ancestors in the quasi-immortal realm was fond of him and intended to arrange for his direct female descendant, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, to marry Lu You and absorb him into the core system of the family.

In the Five Realms, Lu You was relatively late in achieving either the first or second level of Divine Transformation, but in the Red Wood Immortal Aperture, he was undoubtedly a top-tier genius.

The lifespan of the spirit is 10,000 years.

And Lu You, at the age of less than two thousand years old, had already reached the second level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. In the eyes of these old monsters, he was simply an enchanting talent.

In this way, Lu You married a noble lady, joined her faction, and became a son-in-law.

He can't be considered a son-in-law.

Second Realm Heavenly Monarch! He could go anywhere in Kyushu. It could be said that he had become the son-in-law of this ancient overlord clan.

……

……

Lei Xuan chose to live in a medium-ranked state, disguised as a casual cultivator in the Yuanshen realm, and occasionally played the role of a robber cultivator to kill some Shenhua guys who were ignorant enough to cause trouble for him.

The Chimu Immortal Acupoint has been passed down for millions of years, and there are some collections of the ancient immortal world passed down by Wumuqi, which are indeed far superior to Su Chen's Ten Domain Immortal Acupoints.

Even after some ordinary first-level gods were hunted down by Lei Xuan, Lei Xuan was shocked to find that the other party's wealth was much richer than his, who was in the second level.

"Kill people and set fires, and you'll get a gold belt; repair bridges and roads, and there will be no remains!"

that's it.

Lei Xuan chose to be a robber cultivator, specializing in robbing Jindan cultivators whose combat power was weaker than his. In a very short time, he made a great name for himself in the state.

……

……

Shen You, he follows the Shinto way, and it is the orthodox Shinto way of the immortal Taoist priest.

When he first arrived, he didn't dare to show any power of a true god, and chose to hang out in the mortal world. He first controlled a mortal dynasty with absolute strength and got all the information about the nearby areas.

Followed by.

He set out to control the immortal sects near the secular dynasty.

There are also rumors about the Akagi Immortal Hole, but it is the target of the Nine Provinces' collective extermination. There is no possibility of survival at all, and Shen You does not dare to reveal his whereabouts.

He just pretended to be a demon cultivator and quietly caught some soul-realm cultivators to eat.

Even so, his tracks were still exposed, attracting the hunting of an ancient family of incarnation gods. In the end, he paid a huge price before he barely escaped.

……

……

Summer is even simpler.

He went directly to the strongest state, and with his strength of the top three realms, he went to fight with masters from various major sects in the name of seeking advice.

As a result, there were actually few Third Realm Immortal Lords who could be his match.

In an instant.

He made a great reputation and became famous in the strongest place in Kyushu. Finally, a quasi-immortal came to meet him in person.

This quasi-immortal found out Xia's origins and found out that he came from the Five Realms, which he had never heard of. As for the death of Wumuqi, the master of the Immortal Cavity, and the change of ownership of the Immortal Cavity, these quasi-immortals were very clear about it.

This top-level third realm cultivator named Xia was personally sent to the Red Wood Immortal Aperture by the Lord of the Five Realms to be trained towards Quasi-Immortal status! They wouldn't dare to bully or kill him in the slightest, unless they didn't want to live.

To know.

The strongest state before was Shenzhou where the Akagi Temple stood. Since the three quasi-immortals were wiped out, only their residual souls escaped.

The ancient quasi-immortal overlord forces of Shenzhou moved their spiritual veins to other different states, and only then did their Tianzhou become the strongest place in Jiuzhou.

After some consideration, he decided to accept Xia into the sect and gave him the status of a guest official.

Also, move around often.

He let his blood relatives and descendants worship Xia as their master, intending to win over Xia, a powerful third-level immortal king, or even a future quasi-immortal.

Xia was able to practice on the sixth-order spiritual vein and slowly aim to reach the quasi-immortal realm.
