The Unified First Generation Elder of the Ancient Immortal Dao, Zhuang Zongzheng, former President of the Ruihai Chamber of Commerce, was holding his burial ceremony.
All group members in Taiping City attended.
Members of the Ruihai Chamber of Commerce and Zhuang Zongzheng's family members also participated in the burial ceremony.
Each First Generation Elder was filled with emotions. Although they had witnessed many lives and deaths, the death of a group member still left them with indescribable feelings.
From having no connection to each other, they suddenly met and became acquainted in the group, and eventually co-founded the Ancient Immortal Dao and established Taiping City to cleanse demons.
This feeling was wonderful, creating deep emotions and unforgettable memories for the Elders of the Ancient Immortal Dao.
However, the Second Generation Elders did not have deep feelings for Zhuang Zongzheng. Attending the burial ceremony was merely out of respect.
Their sects and factions established themselves in Taiping City after the Fifth District was built. They didn't have much contact with Zhuang Zongzheng afterward, and some had never even met him.
"Esteemed Elders, do you know how old that Elder Chen is this year?" Jiang Xu asked the Second Generation Elders in a low voice.
The others were slightly stunned, not expecting Jiang Xu to ask such a strange question at such a ceremony.
Remembering that Jiang Xu had been slapped in the face by Fairy Luo for provoking Chen Changsheng.
Some of them couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
Zhen Yue shook her head expressionlessly: "We all joined the group later, how would we know the ages of the seniors?"
"Seniors?"
Zhang Shaoyuan sneered at this time: "I don't think they are all necessarily seniors. Joining the group early doesn't necessarily mean higher cultivation or older age."
"Many First Generation Elders are younger than us. Perhaps in another one or two hundred years, our cultivation will surpass theirs!"
Hearing the sarcasm in Zhang Shaoyuan's words, Jiang Xu felt that he had found a kindred spirit, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Elder Zhang's thoughts align with mine!" Jiang Xu said with a smile: "What do you think is Elder Chen's age? I once heard that he only had ordinary aptitude before, and later, with the help of Fairy Luo, he was promoted to low-grade."
Several Second Generation Elders heard the disdain in their words, but did not express any attitude.
Nalan Hongjing said calmly: "Being able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage with low-grade aptitude shows that Elder Chen has his own opportunities. He probably isn't too old. I think he should be around three hundred years old."
"What opportunities could he have?" Zhang Shaoyuan sneered: "He stays in Taiping City all the time and never goes out. He didn't even participate in the battle of Fanmo City. I think Fairy Luo is his opportunity."
"Keep your voice down, don't let the First Generation Elders hear you," Zhen Yue kindly reminded.
Speaking ill of the First Generation Elders behind their backs would have unimaginable consequences if they were heard.
Although such things have not happened so far, the authority of the Ancient Immortal Dao exists in everyone's heart.
The founder of the Ancient Immortal Dao must not be slandered by anyone!
Especially since Chen Changsheng and Dao Lord Luo Liuxi have a close relationship. If they were heard, they might be kicked out of the Ancient Immortal Dao.
Jiang Xu smiled lightly when he heard this: "I have already cast a soundproof Dao technique. The Dao technique's protection is fragile, but it can remind us to shut up in the first place, so don't worry, everyone, we can chat without any problems."
"Age is difficult to predict, but I feel that Elder Chen's life aura is very strong. I agree with Fellow Daoist Nalan's statement," Zhang Shaoyuan said with his arms crossed, looking relaxed.
Their bold behavior ignited the flames of gossip.
The surrounding Second Generation Elders also became bolder and whispered.
"You joined the group relatively late, but I only joined the Ancient Immortal Dao relatively late. Not to mention how old Elder Chen was before, just the length of time he has been in the group is over four hundred years!"
"What?!"
This inside information shocked all the cultivators, including Jiang Xu.
"Doesn't that mean that Elder Chen has long passed the best age for breaking through to Nascent Soul?"
"Really? I watched Elder Chen's entire tribulation process that day. It was powerful and fierce, and he didn't look like an elderly cultivator at all."
The cultivator who revealed the information spoke again: "Hehe, not only that, but Elder Chen also broke through to Foundation Establishment and Golden Core near the limit of his lifespan."
Jiang Xu frowned slightly: "If you add his original age, has he exceeded the limit of his lifespan?"
He raised this topic to explore Chen Changsheng's secrets.
According to his prediction, Chen Changsheng in the Golden Core stage should have had no hope of breaking through to Nascent Soul in this life. Low-grade spiritual roots are indeed much better than ordinary ones, but very few cultivators can break through to Nascent Soul.
Especially cultivators like Chen Changsheng, who have been lying flat in Taiping City and are unwilling to go out to train, have even less hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, after more than a hundred years, Chen Changsheng suddenly broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, which also aroused Jiang Xu's curiosity.
What secrets does this person have that allow him to break through at an old age and still display terrifying strength?
Jiang Xu had a feeling that this was an extraordinary secret!
And it was the existence of this secret that allowed Chen Changsheng to gain the favor of Fairy Luo.
"It's already fortunate to break through successfully at an old age. As a result, Elder Chen breaks through at an old age every time. Is it some kind of special technique?"
Zhen Yue frowned slightly.
Originally, she thought that Chen Changsheng was hiding his cultivation and deliberately breaking through at the end of his lifespan, so as not to let people notice his true cultivation.
However, group members can directly check cultivation realms, so this cunning possibility was ruled out.
Nalan Hongjing shook her head when she heard this: "It shouldn't be a special technique that allows him to break through at the end of his lifespan, but that he has a special method of prolonging life, so it looks like it's the day of his lifespan limit, but in reality, it's the golden age for breaking through."
Zhang Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "I agree with Fellow Daoist Nalan's speculation."
"What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Xu's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Nalan Hongjing smiled playfully: "Haven't you noticed that Elder Chen is often accompanied by two beautiful women? Have you ever observed their spiritual root aptitude?"
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoyuan seemed to have discovered a new world, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"One with ordinary aptitude, and one ghost cultivator!"
"How have they lived to this day?"
Zhen Yue and others realized belatedly that, according to Miao Miao and Yu Niang's situation, they should have faced the problem of lifespan exhaustion.
However, whether it was Miao Miao or Yu Niang, they have maintained their youthful beauty and are full of vitality!
This undoubtedly confirmed Nalan Hongjing's guess.
Elder Chen probably has a method of prolonging life!
Jiang Xu smiled brightly, a trace of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "I think the method of prolonging life should be contributed to the entire Ancient Immortal Dao. Would you be willing to go with me and chat with Elder Chen?"
