Chapter 63 [Time is like a knife that cuts down the genius]
"You're right." The old madman was indeed tempted. If he had a great saint body, or even a chaotic body, he might be able to go to the ancient forbidden area to rescue the surviving fellow disciples of Tianxuan and free them from the state of slavery.
"But I still have one more calamity to overcome. If I overcome it, I can protect you." The old madman said solemnly, "If you can't overcome it, you can go to Tianxuan Stone Square. There is an old friend there who can protect you."
"Tianxuan Stone Workshop?"
"Doom?"
……
Ye Fan and Lin Xian were focused on different things. The former was surprised that there were still masters in Tianxuan Holy Land. Could it be another legendary saint?
However, Lin Xian was puzzled as to where the calamity came from for the old madman, in this era, the first level of the Immortal Realm was for top masters, the second level of the Immortal Realm was for a powerful saint, and the third level of the Immortal Realm was for the king who suppressed a region.
As the old madman Tianxuan saint of the fourth level of the immortal realm, he is invincible in the world. Unless he is desperate enough to attack the forbidden zone of life or attack the extreme forces, no one can stop him.
"I am more than six thousand years old." The old madman said calmly, pointing to his head of white hair.
Six thousand years ago, the old madman had an astonishing level of cultivation, and was hard to match in the Eastern Wilderness. He practiced hard for another six thousand years, spanning a long period of history and going through many eras, both bright and dark.
Now, in the vast land of East Wilderness, or even in the Big Dipper Emperor Star, what great enemy is there? The only thing that can fight against it is time.
"The years are like a knife cutting down the proud ones, and the path to eternal life is full of enchantment..."
Lin Xian whispered, and once again witnessed the cruelty of the Zhutian universe.
Time is the biggest obstacle to immortality and the greatest calamity on the road to becoming an immortal.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths experienced chaos and turmoil in the ancient times, and the great universe was damaged. Although it was later restored by Emperor Huang Tian, ensuring the combat effectiveness of the cultivators in later generations, the life-giving matter decreased sharply, and the lifespan was greatly weakened.
The immortal who originally relied on the immortality substance to live forever can now only live for two or three thousand years.
The invincible king who roams the vast land of Eastern Wilderness, shatters mountains and rivers with a roar, and breaks a continent into pieces with a punch, has a lifespan of only three to four thousand years.
A saint who can destroy stars in the blink of an eye and travel across the universe would be an immortal being in other universes, but he can only live for five or six thousand years in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
By analogy, the lifespan of a Saint King is more than six or seven thousand years, the lifespan of a Great Saint is seven or eight thousand years, the lifespan of a Quasi-Emperor is eight or nine thousand years, and the lifespan of a Great Emperor is more than ten thousand years.
Perhaps due to special physical conditions, taking medicine king can extend one's lifespan a little, but generally speaking, it will not deviate from this base number.
The old madman has lived for more than 6,000 years. In this world where combat power determines lifespan and lifespan repays one's ability, he has reached the pinnacle of sainthood.
Many ordinary saint kings who have ordinary physiques and have never taken the King of Medicine may not be as good as him.
But that's all.
Who in the world can be immortal? No matter how beautiful and charming you are, you will eventually become a skeleton; no matter how proud you are, you will eventually turn into a pile of yellow earth.
Only by making another breakthrough and stepping into the realm of Holy King, will the old madman have a chance to extend his life for more than a thousand years and provide shelter for the descendants of Tianxuan Holy Land.
Lin Xian clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I hope that Senior will soon attain the Dao of the Saint King!"
Ye Fan and Jiang Tingting followed suit and bowed, saying:
"May the senior succeed in overcoming the calamity and attain the status of a Saint King!"
The old madman looked at Lin Xian meaningfully and said, "Lord Tianxuan six thousand years later, you seem to know a lot of great secrets."
For example: The realm of the Holy King is absolutely not something that the monks of the Wheel Sea can know.
Some great men who have cultivated to the second level of the Immortal Stage are still confused and mistakenly believe that above saints are emperors or immortals.
The six heavens of the immortal platform, the quasi-emperor, the alternative enlightenment, the realm of the great emperor, the enlightened, these information are still secret in the East Wilderness today, and only the head of the family with eternal inheritance and the real master of the holy land can know them. "To be honest with you, senior, I came from the other side of the starry sky, and there are some ancient Taoists there, which have a great connection with Beidou."
Lin Xian said calmly: "And I am a book flipper."
"The book flipper..." The old madman seemed to be thinking about something.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, was a little excited. He looked at Lin Xian, as if asking how she had told others about the matter on the other side of the starry sky.
Lin Xian looked back and smiled, looking at Ye Fan, and said: "Remember what I said about saints being able to cross the void of the universe? Although the ancient star is mysterious, it is not completely unknown to cultivators above the saint level."
"The universe is vast, and there is more than one source of life."
"You mean..." In an instant, Ye Fan's eyes sparkled, as if he saw the hope of returning home. He bowed deeply to the old madman and pleaded, "Senior, I am also from the other side of the starry sky. I have parents at home to serve. Can I..."
"A saint needs a five-color altar to go to the other side of the starry sky. The universe is too vast." The old madman shook his head and said, "Maybe I can give it a try after I break through."
The old madman revealed the mysteries of the universe to a few people. The dark, deep and silent universe is too vast, and the source of life is too rare, so the sages of all generations set up five-color altars as a teleportation array between star fields.
A saint can travel across the starry sky, but he cannot go too far, otherwise he will lose his way and become a wanderer.
To truly treat the universe as your back garden and travel across one galaxy after another, you need a quasi-emperor level body.
Ye Fan felt as if he was poured with a bucket of cold water when he heard this, but hope remained in his heart. According to inference, the Earth was also a prosperous ancient planet with life in ancient times, and it had an intersection with the Big Dipper, so there should be a five-color altar established there.
"Excuse me, senior, how many years will it take to break through?" Ye Fan asked expectantly.
The old madman said calmly: "Seven or eight days at the shortest, five or six years at the longest."
Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Five or six years at most was not too long. He could wait and have a chance to visit his parents on the other side of the starry sky.
"It will take at most five or six years. It will take another five or six years before I can stop eating beef in the East Desert. That's a bit long..."
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then bowed and said, "Senior, before you go into seclusion, can you accompany me to the demon tribe?"
Then, Lin Xian took out the Green Lotus Jade Pendant obtained from the Yintan.
"Demon clan." The old madman's eyes sparkled with divine light as he stared at the jade pendant for a long time. Finally, he withdrew his gaze, frowned, and murmured in confusion: "Could it be... that the Green Emperor is really not dead?"
The Green Emperor was the emperor who was closest to opening the path to becoming an immortal, but he disappeared ten thousand years ago, leaving us with many mysteries.
According to normal logic, the road to immortality will be opened, how could the Demon Emperor not calculate it? Maybe he will use some heaven-defying means to survive until this life.
“Senior, I, Tianxuan, have the foundation, but no imperial weapons. The Qingdi lineage is also in decline, with imperial weapons but no foundation.”
Lin Xian bowed again and said, "If the two families form an alliance, they will not be weaker than any extreme holy land in the future."
"The emperor's army..." The old madman nodded. This is indeed the greatest power in the world and the continuation of the emperor's life.
If the imperial army is fully revived, the quasi-emperor will be destroyed.
"How do you plan to form an alliance?" asked the old madman.
Lin Xian smiled without saying anything, looked at Ye Fan, and said, "Let's suffer a little longer for the holy body."
Ye Fan: "???"
Ah, why is there still my business involved?
