Fairy way

The old monster can be said to be a living history book.

Witnesses from ancient times.

But when it comes to some secrets, he refuses to reveal the slightest bit, for example, he refuses to tell Lin Xi why he can't explore the things behind the scourge, and why he went to encircle and suppress Wen Tianyu in the first place.

Now he seemed to know something again, but fell into silence, refusing to make a sound.

This silence lasted for a long time.

"Are you planning on not telling me anything?" Lin Xi finally asked, "Who are those people you're talking about? You said this is the land of immortals, have they become immortals?"

The old monster looked very melancholy: "I don't know, maybe it failed."

"why?"

"If it succeeds, how could there be no posterity to record the great achievements of the predecessors. This is an earth-shattering event. Since it has not been handed down, it must have failed. Since it failed, there is nothing to say."

The old monster's voice sounded unusually lost.

It can be seen that this may be something he is very concerned about.

"It's not that you failed to become an immortal, why are you so disappointed." Lin Xi laughed.

The old monster was unusually serious: "You don't understand, this is not a matter of one person, but a matter of the entire human race, and even all living beings."

"I do not quite understand."

"What do you say you practice for?"

Lin Xi has no doubts about this: "Longevity."

No matter what the original intention of setting foot on Xianlu is.

But in the end, it will all point to the ultimate goal - longevity.

"There is no true immortality in the world, no matter how amazing, powerful, and invincible, in the end, it still cannot escape the passing of time and the obliteration of heaven."

After cultivating to the state of integration, theoretically, longevity can be achieved, because a deep connection with the Dao has been established, unless the Dao dies.

But actually the Adept will still die.

Because there are big and small catastrophes.

And the way is not static.

Only by continuing to move forward can we continue to survive.

"Death, or immortality." The old monster said: "This is an obvious choice, but since no one in the world has really achieved immortality, there are naturally no immortals in the world."

Lin Xi frowned, feeling that the logic was not smooth, but she didn't bring it up.

"Only by becoming a fairy can you live forever?" Lin Xi asked.

"Yes."

"Why has no one been able to become a fairy?"

"Because God doesn't allow it."

Lin Xi was stunned.

"You should know that the human race was not so strong from the beginning."

Lin Xi nodded: "After many, many years of research and creation, there is today's splendid civilization of cultivating immortals."

"Yes, we have always believed that immortals exist, but we have never achieved it. Only by constantly breaking through and breaking the will of heaven can we truly surpass death."

Immortal, since it is a realm that no one can reach.

Naturally, no one can say whether the fairy world really exists.

But almost all monks will subconsciously believe that this is real, and Lin Xi is no exception.

If the former immortal seniors succeeded and became immortals, it would be equivalent to opening up a brand new path for all living beings.

This is a big event for Fuze Wanling.

It is equivalent to sublimating the entire spiritual world.

What a feat that was.

pity......

pity.

Lin Xi noticed something.

The wording of the old monster is us.

Obviously he is not a loner, at least when he was alive, he must have many like-minded partners.

"If you fail to become an immortal, what will happen?" Lin Xi asked.

The old monster said melancholy: "Of course he died."

Lin Xi thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

I really asked a stupid question.

People who lived tens of thousands of years ago are of course dead. If they really survived, wouldn't they really become immortals?

"If you fail, you will fail." Lin Xi didn't feel much about becoming a fairy so far away: "Since the people in the past didn't succeed, the people in the future will succeed sooner or later."

But the old monster obviously couldn't let go so easily, so he kept silent about it.

After a long time he asked, "What is this place?"

"Pilgrimage of all ages."

"It seems... I haven't heard of it."

"Probably they only got it after you died. After all, it's been so many years."

"This is probably somewhere in northern Xinjiang."

Lin Xi guessed for a while and gave the approximate location of the Wanshi Holy Dynasty.

"That's right, no wonder there is an aura I am familiar with, very close, very close." The old monster said to himself.

Lin Xi asked, "What's so close?"

"Lin Xi, can you take me around?"

There was a bit of pleading in the old monster's words.

Lin Xi hesitated for a while, but did not refuse.

So Lin Xi left alone for the time being, and then wandered around the area of ​​Shenzhao.

Although the old monster has no physical body, its perception is still very sensitive.

The surrounding atmosphere made him feel familiar yet strange.

"Can the hill in front of you stop for a while?" the old monster asked.

Lin Xi did not refuse.

stay on the hill.

In the distance is a vast lake with clear water and blue sky, and the scenery is pleasant. In the distance is a wide plain, and the grass is shining brightly against the sunlight.

Sparkling and refreshing.

This beauty is really worth stopping to watch.

The old monster sighed softly: "I remember that this place used to be a stretch of mountains, but it's not a spiritual mountain, not even a mortal dynasty, it can only be regarded as a remote barren mountain. There is a small village at the foot of the mountain, with only a few hundred households. People in the village make a living by digging medicinal materials in the mountains, and from time to time they can dig some spiritual grass with thin spiritual energy, which can be sold at a good price, and their life is considered nourishing."

Lin Xi listened quietly without interrupting.

The true feelings in the other party's words are inexplicably sad.

"Such a small village like this is naturally impossible to exist for so long. It would be great if it could survive for hundreds of years, let alone tens of thousands of years." The old monster laughed at himself.

This is his home.

A young and immature boy collecting herbs accidentally discovered the body of a monk who had rotted long ago. Enduring the stench, he stepped forward to grope for a while, and took out a book of low-level exercises and a few low-quality polysaccharides. Panacea.

Then he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals.

He never came back to see it.

As if in a daze, he only focused on practicing.

Now that I have returned, things have long since changed, and nothing exists anymore.

"Let's go again, let's go again." The old monster urged.

Lin Xi didn't hesitate, and wandered around here.

Everywhere he went, the old monster would sigh with emotion for a while, and Lin Xi also understood that this was probably the place where he used to live.

Fallen leaves must return to their roots.

The same is true of Fairy Qingyan's ancestor.

After death, I still want to go home.

The old monster's voice gradually became weaker: "Lin Xi, thank you very much."

"Huh? Old monster, what are you doing!" Lin Xi was startled.

He felt that the power of the old monster's primordial spirit was gradually weakening.

The old monster who flattered Lin Xi with a shameless face actually chose to dissipate at this moment.

"It's probably God's will. My obsessions are all dispelled today, why should I linger in this world." The old monster's voice was more relieved and satisfied: "You are right, what the predecessors could not do, I will leave it to future generations do it."

He planned for tens of thousands of years to try to resurrect again, in order to be stronger and to live forever.

But in the end, he still wants to see the future.

Shock flashed in Lin Xi's eyes, and then she suddenly woke up and shouted loudly: "Old monster, are you one of the most amazing people in ancient times you mentioned?"

"Of course." The old monster said proudly, "I'm Shangguan Yu."

Only then did Lin Xi discover a problem.

I have never asked the other party what state he was in before his death.

It's just that the other party wants to become a ghost sage, so subconsciously thinks that the other party is only in the realm of harmony.

"What realm were you in before your death?"

"Of course...a saint."
