My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1489
[Chapter 1468: One Immortal Emperor per Era]
In addition to the blocks representing the countless monitored starry sky and the large empty white circle, there is also a figure that looks very much like Shouqiuxian.
He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sea of stars below.
Li Bu Ren was shocked and tried to feel it with his spiritual sense.
After a moment, he realized: “It’s not that Shouqiu Immortal. It’s someone like me who has inherited the [Shouqiu Manbi], so the aura is very similar.”
“However, judging from the degree of the ‘guarding the hill’ state manifested on this figure…”
“I’m afraid this person has obtained the entire Manbi inheritance at the Wuming True Immortal level. He is not like me, who took shortcuts.”
But the figure left by this nameless immortal before him is not for the purpose of inheriting the Tao.
It seems to have only recorded a video.
He had been hiding in this experimental space inside the high walls until he sensed the similar “Shou Qiu” aura of Li Bu Ren, and was then activated.
“The ruling Immortal Emperor Zhaiyang passed away not long ago.”
“It has been a full era since the establishment of [Lan Ke Dojo]…”
“This is such a long period of time. So long that even with my immortal body, my memories of the past have become a little fuzzy.”
…
The voice did not come from the figure in front of Li Bu Ren, but came from the vast sky, as if it was talking to the figure across the world.
“When the Immortal Emperor Zhaiyang first ascended the throne, I was still an immortal servant in the Lietu Star Domain. Seven million, six hundred and twenty-four thousand six hundred and thirty-eight years have passed, and I have ascended to the nameless realm.” The figure said with emotion, not looking in the direction where the voice from outer space came from, but still looking at the many starry seas in the experimental field.
“You remember it so clearly. You are worthy of inheriting Lord Shouqiu’s legacy…” The emotion of the voice from outer space was a little strange, with a bit of envy and gloating.
“You already knew about this shortly after Lord Shouqiu left. It seems this place is indeed not clean…” The figure snorted coldly.
“That’s Lord Shouqiu!” The voice from outside the sky suddenly became a little sharp.
“At that time, the Dao Annihilation Tide was so huge that thousands of star regions were submerged in an instant. Countless people died in vain. The ruling Immortal Emperor led the Wuming of all the regions to personally come, but in the end they were helpless and retreated again and again. Fortunately, Lord Shouqiu descended from the sky and forced back the tide of destruction with his own strength…
“What a grand manner! When the Immortal Emperor Zhaiyang saw Lord Shouqiu, he had to perform the etiquette of a junior! Not to mention the countless immortals who were saved, who regarded Lord Shouqiu as their reborn parents. Even if he doesn’t like to be disturbed, how could he hide his every move from all the immortals in the sky? If it weren’t for the Lan Ke Dojo being a secret place, I’m afraid that the fact that you have inherited Lord Shouqiu’s legacy would have been known to everyone by now!”
Listening to the other party’s somewhat sarcastic words, the figure did not refute.
The voice from outer space continued, “The Immortal Emperor Zhaiyang has been here for seven million years, which is not considered a long life. But it is the limit for us. However, Lord Shouqiu has lived for more than a hundred epochs and experienced a hundred Immortal Emperors!”
“Don’t forget, there is also the Wuji Immortal Emperor who has a lifespan of 99,990,000 years! Lord Shouqiu’s power is unimaginable! Qingyin, you have now achieved Wuming and inherited the legacy. I can’t say that you can be like Lord Shouqiu, who has experienced hundreds of Immortal Emperors and remains immortal. But at least you will live longer than Wuji, without any doubt…”
The nameless immortal, or the title of Qing Yin, interrupted the voice from the heavens: “Mr. Shouqiu left a shadow of the Tao in the Taoist temple. If you really envy him, you might as well go there in person. Although it is not as good as Mr. Shouqiu’s personal teaching, it is almost the same.”
The endless chattering voice from the heavens suddenly stopped. After a long while, he smiled and said, “It is not so easy to be a disciple of Lord Shouqiu. We are true immortals, and our life span is equal to the Tao. We came from the Tao and will return to the Tao. The rise and fall of the Tao is in accordance with the will of heaven and the principle of heaven and earth.”
“Living for millions of years is long enough. Like Lord Shouqiu…”
“Hehehe, having someone like you, Brother Qingyin, is enough.”
Qing Yin said coldly, “Okay, just say what you want to say. I don’t know where Lord Shouqiu is after he left. Don’t expect to get any news from me.”
The voice from the sky changed quickly and got straight to the point: “The Immortal Emperor Zhaiyang has passed away and the Immortal Emperor Tianluo has ascended. I’m afraid some things from the last era will be abolished. I’m afraid this Lan Ke Dojo will also be among those to be abolished. Brother Qingyin, you should make preparations early.”
Qing Yin seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: “That thing… after pursuing it for so long, are you just going to ignore it? Although it didn’t appear within the estimated time, there’s no guarantee that we can wait a little longer and find it.”
“…This matter is complicated and cannot be explained in a short time. In short, in addition to the political changes of Zhaiyang and Tianluo Immortal Emperor, it is also related to Lord Shouqiu. Lord Shouqiu’s divine power was so great that he forced back the tide of Daoyan. This caused a subtle change in the overall concept of the general public in the immortal world. During the Zhaiyang era, Daoyan was rampant everywhere, and countless true immortals were killed and injured. The immortals in the immortal world, from top to bottom, were mostly pessimistic about whether they could resist the catastrophe. Therefore, they could only seek help from external objects.”
“But the journey of seeking has been fruitless for a long time. When the fairy world was in the most difficult time, the old man Shouqiu performed a great drama to turn the tide in front of the world. Let the fairies understand that Daoyan is not unstoppable. Moreover, it is said that Shouqiu is still in the fairy world and left many inheritances. Anyone who enters Wuming has the opportunity to become Shouqiu’s disciple. Qingyin, you say, when your own strength is enough, how can you seek external things?”
After hearing this, Qing Yin was silent for a long time. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: “During the Zhaiyang era, all living beings were pessimistic and negative. The immortal world was full of depression and people were fed up. I wonder how many true immortals chose to end their lives.”
“And today, Luo Jiyuan has made a great turn… But all the True Immortals in the sky are so confident, I think it’s probably not a good thing.”
Tianwai Zhiyin was obviously a little unconvinced and smiled: “Then let’s wait and see! I’m just reminding you kindly.”
“Of course, if you insist on staying here at Lan Ke Dojo, it’s not impossible. I can help a little. But in the future, you need to be more secretive so as not to be discovered by other True Immortals. Hehe, if something happens in the future, don’t implicate me. The newly ascended Tianluo Immortal Emperor is not as merciful as Zhaiyang.”
Qing Yin cupped his hands and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Ling.”
Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment.
After the light and shadow turned, I don’t know how many years have passed.
On this day, the Immortal Ling and Qing Yin met again. However, it was no longer a telepathic message from the sky, but he came to the Lan Ke Dojo in person.
The recorded light and shadow of the Immortal Ling kept distorting and fluctuating, even affecting Qing Yin’s body.
“Damn it, these people in the Immortal Realm are really crazy now. The Tianluo Immortal Emperor is the craziest one!”
“I felt something was not good, so I fled decisively. But I estimated that it won’t be safe in the lower starry sea for long. We two brothers must make plans early.” The True Immortal named Ling kept pacing back and forth, seeming to be very anxious.
Qingyin was as calm as ever.
But compared to the previous recording of light and shadow, he has added a bit of mysterious and detached aura. He is more and more similar to Shouqiu Gong.
“I am a disciple of Lord Shouqiu. I have inherited his legacy, but I cannot leave easily.”
“However, I have a feeling that Lord Shouqiu may have already left this world. I may be able to follow his footsteps and follow him.”
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Ling couldn’t help but look sideways. He stared at Qing Yin closely and asked in shock, “You mean… that rumor is actually true?”
He seemed more and more anxious, his pace became faster, and he murmured: “Cross the sea by boat, and go to another possible world. Eventually travel through the endless world, completely and thoroughly detached and free. The sea submerges but I do not; the mountain collapses but I remain on the top…”
“Qingyin, you must take me with you!”
Qing Yin said calmly, “You and I have been close friends since we were humble. If I could [transcend a little], how could I not take you with me? However, I have to inherit Shouqiu’s legacy. If I want to leave, I need to give an explanation to Lord Shouqiu first.”
“Explanation?” The Immortal Ling was a little puzzled.
“Mr. Shouqiu passed on his teachings so that we could leave behind our phantoms to inherit the Dao and resist the calamity of Dao annihilation. In the past, this would have been fine. But time has passed, and things are different now. The tide is surging, several times more ferocious than in the previous era. Mr. Shouqiu’s power is comparable to that of the creation, and he might be able to resist with his phantom. But us, the younger generation…”
“It’s just a useless effort. There’s a chance that you’ll be affected by the Daoyan Tide and be injured. Even if there are people who really don’t care about their own safety and sacrifice themselves to form a shadow, it’s just a drop in the bucket compared to the current Daoyan Tide.”
The Immortal Ling nodded in agreement and said, “The Immortal Emperor Tianluo has gone insane, and is determined to do what he wants. Yet he still manages to attract a large group of people to go crazy with him. Alas, it’s actually all Lord Shouqiu’s fault for giving them the wrong idea!”
Qing Yin did not comment, and did not mention Shouqiu Gong. Instead, he continued to talk about his own situation: “Although I am unwilling to take over the responsibility of Ningying, I still have the responsibility. I can’t completely abandon it by saying no.”
“Although Lord Shouqiu has fled, the restrictions he left behind are still not something we can ignore.”
“This is the price of accepting Lord Shouqiu’s inheritance. When Lord Shouqiu was passing on his skills in the past, he had actually told me this clearly. But the method of transcendence was too tempting. And at that time, the catastrophe of Daoyan seemed to have been completely suppressed, so I readily agreed.” Qing Yin seemed a little helpless.
“Oh, it really is a different time.” The Immortal Ling made a casual comment and then began to think seriously.
“Do I still need to fulfill my duty as a Taoist… Let me think about it.”
After a while, he suddenly clapped his hands: “I have a plan!”
At this critical moment, the light, shadow and sound suddenly dimmed together.
The scene that Li Bu Ren saw remained still for a while.
After it started running again, the next thing played was the last recorded video.
Qing Yin himself stood opposite to the phantom of Cheng Dao that he had condensed.
The Immortal Ling said with a smug look on his face, “Qing Yin, how about my plan of using someone else’s strength to replace someone else’s? Since you can’t bear the real Dao Annihilation, I will first create a miniature Dao Annihilation that you can bear with your strength. Anyway, the current situation is already riddled with holes, and one more will not be too much of a problem!”
“Block the hole, and you will have given Lord Shouqiu an explanation, leaving behind a shadow to carry on the teachings!”
Qing Yin silently looked at his own shadow in front of him and sighed: “Countless lives in two star regions have died because of you and me… This is not what I want.”
“Why bother so much! If these people don’t run away, they will die sooner or later. Helping you and me to transcend is also a useful thing I have done before I die!” The Immortal surnamed Ling said nonchalantly.
Qingyin nodded silently.
He pointed lightly at the phantom of Cheng Dao in front of him, and the phantom immediately broke through the air and disappeared without a trace.
Qing Yin was absent-minded for a moment. Soon after, he looked up and stared in a certain direction, and spoke again. There was a hint of joy in his words: “All ties are cut off, and I am leaving.”
For some reason, Qing Yin inexplicably took a last look in the direction where Li Buren was spying.
After completing this eye contact across time and space, the recording figure completely disappeared.
…
After a long time, Li Bu Ren came back to his senses.
The footage captured in the experimental field, the conversation between two people who are suspected to be nameless immortals, contains too much obscure information.
“Era. Immortal Emperor Zhaiyang, Immortal Emperor Tianluo.”
Li Bu Ren did not expect that the era of the fairy world was not a fixed number of years.
The specific length of an era is determined by the specific time the so-called ruling Immortal Emperor is in power.
“Seven million years is not a long life. True immortals are indeed not the same species as ordinary people.”
“And that Shouqiu Immortal, or Shouqiu Lord, actually lived for 123 epochs…”
A rough calculation yields a number that makes your scalp tingle.
“Also, the Immortal Ling said that life span is equal to the Dao. But later he said that a life span of millions of years is already long enough. What’s going on? Could it be that the Dao between heaven and earth only lasts for a million years? How is this possible?”
Li Fan’s spiritual thoughts have now been reflected in the Dao Network, but he has never realized that there is a limit on lifespan in the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
“The footage recorded in the experimental field is not likely to be fabricated.”
“Could it be…”
Li Fan’s heart suddenly moved.
He thought of his previous speculation that Daoyan and Infinite Sea belonged to the same source.
“The Dao annihilates the Dao, and the limitations of the surviving Dao are gradually disappearing.”
“Has the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth become stronger than before after being baptized by the calamity of Dao Annihilation?” Li Fan couldn’t be sure.
It is also possible that the rise and fall of the Tao is the attribute of the Tao itself.
However, with the threat of the external object, the Dao Annihilation Disaster, the Dao itself gradually changed with the passage of time.
But no matter what, the lifespan of a True Immortal, or even a Nameless True Immortal, is limited to tens of millions of years at most. This still makes Li Fan a little disappointed.
It was just the same as what he had imagined in the illusion before he formally started practicing.
Li Fan is still far from his true goal of longevity.
