0952 Demon Tower
When Tianyi Zhenren heard Zhong Ling's words, he just laughed and said nothing.
Qian Ning couldn't help but remind: "Fellow Daoist Zhong, don't underestimate the difficulty of breaking through the infantile stage, looking at the world, for hundreds of years, no one has ever succeeded! Elder Tianyi said that your master has a three-layer success rate, which is already a very high evaluation. If it weren't for the fact that your master has been crisscrossing the cultivation world for decades, leaving behind countless legends, and his life trajectory is really amazing, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get this evaluation!"
Zhong Ling was still not satisfied, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to break through the infantile stage? My master even took such a big risk of failure? Then I hope my master will break through successfully!"
When Qian Ning heard this, he scolded in his heart: "If your master really succeeds, if you don't say anything else, your boy's worth will rise a hundred times with the tide! And as a disciple of such a character, who would dare to provoke you? Everyone should weigh it, this is Zhong Yuanqing's apprentice!"
Tianyi Zhenren sighed: "The old man really envies your master's achievements! I hope he will break through the infant transformation stage this time and succeed in one fell swoop! Then in this way, the entire cultivation world will be a sensation, and he will also usher in an even more brilliant tomorrow! The future belongs to you young people!" Then he said with a gloomy expression: "Unlike the old man, he is nearly two hundred years old, and his life function has almost been exhausted, so he does not have much time in this world." ”
Qianning Zhenren and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and Qianning hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Elder, you have a tough body, act like the wind, and don't care about everything, like idle clouds and wild cranes, at ease, and your life is still long." Elder, you don't have to worry about the old man. ”
Tianyi Zhenren touched his all-white beard and sighed: "Hey, the old man knows his destiny, but in fact, Shouyuan has long been exhausted, and he is supported by his true qi." Now that the true qi is being consumed more and more, it can't be sustained for a few days at all. Probably, in a year at most, the decay will be about to fall into the ground. ”
Qianning Zhenren and a group of Shushan Taoist priests were all taken aback, they didn't expect that one of the leading figures of their Shushan faction had been alive for nearly two hundred years, and Tianyi Zhenren, who existed like a living Bodhisattva, had only one year of life left?
It was really a surprise to all of them that they were going to leave so soon! They thought that Tianyi Zhenren would live for at least a few decades!
Everyone was stunned, didn't know what to say, and didn't dare to say anything more.
Tianyi Zhenren continued to sigh: "We cultivators are exploring the Heavenly Dao, but in fact, we are also pursuing immortality. I think I am a true person, who has been cultivating for nearly 200 years, and has a great determination to cultivate the way, and how much I hope that one day I can break through the shackles of the infantile period and gain a longer life. This world is so beautiful, how I wish I could live forever, but after 200 years of hard work, I still can't escape the end of my life!"
Everyone was silent.
A generation of top-level powerhouses in the cultivation world is about to die, although they don't want to die, they have to die, this desolation is helpless, everyone has deeply experienced it.
No matter how good his talent is, he has already cultivated to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage, and he has been insisting on cultivating for almost two hundred years, but he still can't resist the shackles of lifespan, and he can't escape the end of running out of lifespan.
Zhong Ling looked at Tianyi Zhenren who had a blank expression at this time, thinking that he had such a high level of cultivation and had worked hard to cultivate for so many years, but he was about to fall soon, and he still felt very pity in his heart.
What is the purpose of human cultivation? It is to resist the mandate of heaven and gain immortality! But in the end, it is still impossible to disobey the mandate of heaven.
I also understood why Tianyi Zhenren, who had not asked about the world for fifty years, did not hesitate to break the vows and take the initiative to ask for information from himself. It turned out that he hoped to use his master's success to comfort the sorrow in his heart.
If his master succeeds in advancing to the infant transformation stage, it will at least prove that there is still hope for human beings to make breakthroughs in cultivation. Otherwise, since ancient times, the human race that has attained immortality has almost disappeared, which directly leads to the loneliness of the human cultivation world and the great development of science and technology.
Facing Tianyi Zhenren, who looked extremely lonely, Zhong Ling was moved with compassion in his heart. He has a Tianxian fruit that is only encountered once in 3,000 years, and eating it can directly increase the longevity of 500 years. Now that the True Life Yuan is about to be exhausted, the effect of eating the fruit at this time will not be so good, but it is completely fine to extend his life span for at least another two or three hundred years.
Can...... Zhongling is not a saint, it is impossible to give such a precious fruit when he sees a person who is going to die, Tianyi Zhenren and himself really only have one side. And birth, old age, sickness and death, it is the cycle of heaven, and Tianyi Zhenren is about to die at the end of his life, which is in line with the way of heaven. This is something that will happen naturally, and there is no need to force it to change.
Therefore, Zhongling was indifferent and did not take out the Heavenly Immortal Fruit.
If he was facing a terminally ill patient at the moment, then Zhong Ling had medical skills and would try to treat him even if he said anything. Death at the end of life is not the same as death from illness.
Tianyi Zhenren learned that Zhong Yuanqing had already broken through the infantile stage, and then thought back to his life of not knowing whether it was success or failure, and his heart was full of emotion. If he is a failure, he is already more successful than most of humanity. Not only did he cultivate a powerful body, but he also lived far longer than a normal human being. But if he is said to be a successful person, then he has been cultivating the Tao for nearly two hundred years, trying to break through the infantile transformation period, but he will not be able to get what he wants in his whole life. is dedicated to the pursuit of immortality, but in the end he can't escape the fate of running out of longevity. Come to think of it, how bleak it is, it's really not a success.
Tianyi Zhenren's calm heart is turbulent after all, and there are mixed tastes.
He left directly under the pretext of the excuse and rode away.
Qianning Zhenren and the other four or five Shushan sect leaders all looked at each other, not knowing why Tianyi Zhenren took the initiative to come over this time. But they all sighed with emotion in their hearts, because Tianyi Zhenren left behind an extremely lonely figure.
For a long time, I thought that he was riding a crane immortal tour, and he was extremely free and easy, but now it seems that he is not so free and easy.
Several people continued to move forward, and after flying over a large group of buildings, Zhong Ling was surprised to find that behind the large number of buildings, there was a very tall and majestic tower, standing straight on top of the highest peak.
The giant tower has at least 18 floors and is majestic. Underneath the tower, there is a basin, or a pond-like depression. It was shocking that this large pool was filled with all kinds of swords.
Zhong Ling couldn't help but ask tentatively: "The giant tower over there, and the sword pool under the giant tower, must be your Shushan Sect's famous Demon Suppression Tower and Ten Thousand Sword Tomb, right?"
