Chapter 206: Sacrifice

Hearing the candle dragon mention the word immortal, everyone was obviously a little surprised.

Because in our opinion, the so-called saying that the so-called immortal appeared in later generations, and no one should have known the word immortal in the age of mythology.

However, after seeing the Spring Pavilion on the side in the corner of our eyes, we suddenly realized.

Indeed, theoretically speaking, this word should not appear in the Age of Mythology, but the Candle Dragon has just entered the Sea of Knowledge of the Spring Pavilion, and thus knows many things that have happened in Shenzhou for thousands of years, and because of this, even if the Candle Dragon says some things and words that only happened in later generations, we should not be surprised by this.

Thinking of this, we are no longer curious about this matter, and focus more on the so-called word "Immortal".

As the name suggests, the original meaning of the so-called immortal refers to the immortal who was degraded from the heavens to the world, and then this word was gradually extended to be a person with superb talent and pure and refined nature.

In the long history of China, Dongfang Shuo during the Han Dynasty, Li Bai and Du Fu during the Tang Dynasty, and Su Shi during the Song Dynasty, these extremely talented literati were all called immortals.

And the most famous of them is naturally the ancient poet Li Taibai.

Li Bai, the word Taibai, the number of Qinglian layman, self-said ancestral home Longxi Chengji, is recognized as the most outstanding romantic poet in Shenzhou for thousands of years, his poetry works are like whimsical, romantic and unrestrained, the artistic conception is bizarre, the verses are like flowing water, like nature, its poems have been recited for thousands of years, and many poems have already become classics.

In order to highlight Li Bai's extraordinary, the people of later generations respectfully called him a poetic immortal, and some people called him an immortal, which means that his existence is no longer understandable to ordinary people, just like the immortal derogatory mortal world.

However, it is obvious that the immortals mentioned in the mouth of the candle dragon are not the same as the immortals in our cognition.

The immortals we mentioned are actually just a metaphor, but the immortals mentioned by the candle dragon are not worldly people, but real immortals, but these immortals have fallen into the original immortal realm for some reason, so they will be called immortals.

After listening to Candle Dragon say this, everyone knew that there was no doubt that Bai Jian, who we had been talking about just now, was such an immortal.

And the reason why Bai Jian changed from an immortal to an immortal is not something else, it is precisely to get rid of the confinement of the immortal who cannot be in the land of Shenzhou without aura, and in this way, he and Chiyou protect the human race and protect the Shenzhou.

It's just that I don't know, how much harm will be caused to Bai Jian by forcibly erasing cultivation like this?

"You all have cultivation in the body, although the cultivation is high and low, not the same, but as a cultivator, you should already know that cultivation and realm are the two most important parts of a cultivator, these two complement each other, one is indispensable, and the combination of each other is the most complete state of a cultivator."

As if sensing our doubts, the candle dragon spoke at the right time and explained the so-called immortal for us.

"Under normal circumstances, a person's cultivation and realm are exactly the same, and there will never be a situation where the cultivation is inconsistent with the realm, but if there is a person with great cultivation, it is not impossible to use great supernatural powers to forcibly wipe out the cultivation or realm of the weak, and it is this special situation that I just said."

"Although the word "Immortal" did not appear in the mythological era, when I found this word in the sea of knowledge in the Spring Pavilion, I felt that this word was so appropriate, and when the immortal fell into its original realm, he became a real immortal."

Perhaps it was because we were afraid that we didn't fully understand, so the candle dragon patiently explained to us in more detail.

"In fact, there are also levels above the immortals, it is no exaggeration to say that those immortals who have cultivated to the heavens do not need the so-called Ten Thousand Years of Heavenly Destiny, as long as they have the existence of aura, they can even be immortal without fighting with each other."

"However, once they fall into the realm of immortals and become what you call immortals, not only will their cultivation decline severely, but they will not even be able to maintain their near-eternal lifespan, and they will suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death just like mortals."

"There is no doubt that Bai Jian has reached the realm of immortals after obtaining the power of creation, although he has not reached the ultimate level, but he still enjoys a long lifespan, has a strong cultivation, if nothing happens, he can be at ease between heaven and earth, and will not be troubled by mundane things."

"Ke Baijian is dedicated to the peace of the human race, after thinking about it, he resolutely decided to give up his freedom, and stay in the land of Shenzhou with Chiyou to protect the safety of the human race, since this is the case, then he who has reached the realm of immortals naturally cannot stay in the land of Shenzhou where his aura is exhausted for a long time, if he wants to stay, there is only one last way left, that is, to descend to the realm and become an immortal."

Perhaps seeing that we were still calm when we heard this, and did not show any big reaction, the candle dragon changed his words, and told us with emotion about the price that Bai Jian had to pay to become an immortal.

"Since the rules of the Heavenly Dao have been destined, cultivation and the realm complement each other, and there will not be much difference, then if you want to retain the immortal realm, reducing your cultivation on the premise of wanting to retain the immortal realm, this move is undoubtedly fighting against the Heavenly Dao, and you will definitely have to pay a great price."

"If you want to achieve this, Bai Jian alone will never be able to do it, if you want to succeed, you can only rely on Emperor Yu to make a move, apply the divine power to Bai Jian's Yuan Shen, and directly attack the Yuan Shen with Emperor Yu's strong strength, so as to achieve the purpose of retaining the realm and erasing the cultivation."

"However, as we all know, for cultivators, the Yuan Shen is the key to the key, once Bai Jian's Yuan Shen is damaged, although he can achieve the requirements of retaining the realm to reduce his cultivation, but the damage is irreversible, as long as Bai Jian becomes an immortal, it means that he has no hope of recovering the true immortal realm in this life."

Hearing this, we finally understood where the emotion in Candle Dragon's words came from.

Just imagine, if we reach the immortal realm after a long period of cultivation, and then fall to this realm because of something, and are told that there is no hope of recovery in this life, such a blow is undoubtedly extremely huge.

Although none of us in this group have reached the legendary immortal realm, but after empathy, all of us have to admit that even if we change ourselves, it will be absolutely difficult to withstand such a blow.

However, Bai Jian actually made such a request in person!
