Chapter 65 The Beginning of the Desire for Immortality

Nameless mountains, lush vegetation.

Everywhere you look, there is green sea and no human habitation. It is the most common place with natural resources in China.

Susu!

A figure passed through the light and shadows in the forest.

With light steps and a slight leap, he was able to cross a distance of four or five meters and pass through the woods.

Together, one leap.

With a slight step of the toes, he stepped onto a tree that was more than ten meters high, and then climbed between the branches, increasing his speed a little bit.

It is extremely agile, even more agile than birds.

But what was strange was that this person had to jump over the treetops from time to time, as if he was using the height to anchor his direction and constantly adjusting his direction.

It has already passed through the sky between rise and fall.

In a trance, I had crossed one mountain after another and arrived at the depths of the nameless mountains, in the canyon between two peaks.

Ta-da!

A figure jumped out from the woods and revealed its face.

He was a young man who was not strong but had a very handsome face. He was wearing a white sports suit and walked through the forest without getting covered by any leaves.

Falling into the canyon, it is within sight.

In front of the canyon, there are two wooden watchtowers that look like arrow towers, and a wide and heavy gate blocking the entrance and exit. Looking out, you can see a number of attics of varying heights.

Quite ancient style.

"who is it!"

In front of the door, two men who looked like door gods cast their eyes over.

As the words rose and fell, two rays of cold light burst out from his sleeves, he drew a sharp sword from his waist and looked at the person who came with a cold face.

Click, click, click!
Just when the swords were facing each other.

The sound of huge gears turning could be heard from the wooden tower, followed by the groaning sound of a bowstring being stretched to perfection.

A little cold light also appeared in the hole of the blockhouse.

"How many years have passed, and it's still the same?"

Sun Cheng was used to it, and looked indifferent, not even looking at the two goalkeepers:

"It's me, Sun Cheng. I have information to report to the Taoist priest!"

Faced with swords and weapons and bows and crossbows, Sun Cheng calmly stated his purpose.

"It's your boy!"

An old voice was heard from the tower.

In just a moment, the heavy door made a loud bang, splashing up a large amount of smoke and dust, and as the smoke and dust dissipated, an old man walked over.

"My little grandson, you are still so unruly!"

The old man walked over slowly, glaring and scolding.

As the old man walked past, the two gatekeepers put away their weapons without knowing when, and the cold light in the blockhouse had long since gone out.

"Isn't this important news?"

Sun Cheng didn't care about the address, but the smile on his face had already disappeared. He said seriously, "I have completed the task ordered by the master inside."

Although he came to report the news, he did not enter the gate.

Over the years, every time I completed a mission or accepted a task, I would talk directly to this old man who was half teacher and half friend in front of the door.

Sun Cheng had never seen the person inside before.

However, although he was curious, he did not indulge in it. Instead, he suppressed it in his heart and never tried to pry into it. He only did what he was supposed to do.

Sun Cheng knows what kind of people can survive in this world.

Especially, someone who knows a lot of secrets.

"Huh? So fast?"

The old man was a little surprised:
"It's only been a few decades, and you've already completed the adults' mission?"

The old man was a little unconvinced.

Although his disciple is extremely talented and has already mastered Qi training at a young age, and can transform and manipulate his form at will, his strength should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that he is now in his seventies.

If you enter the world, you will be among the best in the world.

However, that adult’s task is more arduous. It is not something that can be accomplished by one individual. It requires the efforts of generations to have a chance of completion.

Even the one from Tianshi Mansion might not be able to do it, right?

"Ah."

Sun Cheng just sneered:
"Teacher, you underestimate the human heart, and you overestimate it!"

Stroking his face, which shouldn't be so young, Sun Cheng sneered and said:

"A group of people who think highly of themselves, some wolves who fish in troubled waters and watch everything with eager eyes, and some idiots who think they are dragons and bless the people but are actually a bunch of pigs and dogs."

"I don't need to do anything more."

Sun Cheng twisted his fingers and said lightly:

"With just the slightest push, they'll start fighting among themselves."

"You put it lightly."

The old man looked at Sun Cheng deeply and said:

"Longhu Mountain, Quan Xing, the official, the Ten Lords, and countless other forces, there are countless heroes and heroes here.

Even if the bait is enough to deceive them temporarily, it is still extremely difficult to complete the task. "

"But I still finished it, didn't I?"

Sun Cheng said with a wanton look:

"Moreover, their existence has begun to leak out, and this world will once again hopelessly repeat the stupidity of the last time."

Young appearance, bold words.

He doesn't look like a man in his seventies at all, but rather a young man full of vigor and vitality who is heading out into the world.

"Yes, you did lead to the disaster."

The old man nodded slightly and said:

"But you know, there will be no reward for this mission."

"If I wanted a reward, I would have gone on strike long ago!"

Sun Cheng waved his hands, not caring about this: "Practicing Qi has its limits after all. Even if the one from Longhu Mountain is invincible, so what?"

"After all, it's just practicing Qi."

"And what I want to see is the brilliant era that the adults said people of my generation should have seen, a future where I can truly become an immortal!"

Sun Cheng is already in his seventies and has seen a lot of things.

Wealth, power, prestige.

Even beings as ageless as he will pass away.

There is not much that interests him in this world, except for the mysterious person who gave him the task to disturb the alien world, and the "immortals" recorded in ancient books.

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit.

Refine the spirit to return to emptiness, refine the emptiness to merge with the Tao.

This is a true immortal.

Let’s not talk about the mysterious man for now.

The reason why he did not enter the canyon was not because he was afraid of his master who was good at mechanical engineering, but because the aura of this mysterious existence was very strong and might not be worse than that of the one in Longhu Mountain.

Out of fear, he did not enter the valley for decades.

And immortality is desire.

It is said that thousands of years ago, a Taoist priest traveled across the ocean to search for the elixir of life.
“You’ll see a world like this.”

The old man got what he wanted, turned around and reported back, leaving only one sentence that echoed in the valley for a long time:

"Just wait a little longer and your wish will come true"

"I look forward to that day."

Sun Cheng looked deeply at the closed door, his eyes seemed to penetrate the thick wood and look at the attic in the valley.

"Hope, don't let me down"

Valley, central.

In a square that looks like it was made of white jade.

A middle-aged man with a neutral face and dressed in ancient Taoist robes was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.

His breathing was steady and powerful, but not like that of an ordinary person.

But it has some strange rules attached to it.

For every nine short breaths, there is a long deep breath, followed by two deep breaths, and then repeat until nine long breaths and nine short breaths, which is a complete cycle.

Ta-da-da!
There was the sound of light footsteps.

The old man who closed the door came to the middle-aged man, saluted respectfully, and then did not say anything, but waited quietly by the side.

call,
suck~
After a long time, the middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes.

"You don't come here often, is there any news?"

The middle-aged man said calmly.

Although he seems younger than an old man, he has the marks of time on his body, like an antique.

Even if it looks shiny on the outside, there are still signs of the passage of time on the inside.

"Yes, Sun Cheng has completed the task."

The old man said respectfully.

"If he can't even do this, then there's no point in him living."

The middle-aged man didn't seem surprised and said indifferently:

"He is arrogant and thinks he is superior to the rest of the world. But in fact, he is just a mere alien. It takes him decades to complete a task. Although it is not bad, he is still far from being a great man."

“You deserve to see it.”

"If it weren't for the inconvenience of me coming out, I would have done it myself a long time ago."

The middle-aged man glanced at the old man, then looked up at the sky: "This world is deeper than you think. Even someone like me is not truly invincible.

If certain restrictions are not lifted, the junior on Mount Longhu will truly be at the top."

"Not to mention that Longhu Mountain still has secrets."

"How dare Sun Cheng belittle someone who even I am a little afraid of. Huh?"

The middle-aged man's face changed, and he suddenly counted with his fingers. After a moment, blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. He said in disbelief:
"How is it possible that the secret of heaven has changed?"

China, a magnificent hall.

A maroon wooden table 30 meters long and about 7 meters wide was set up in the center.

All around were densely packed and neatly arranged tables and chairs, with men and women in suits sitting upright, attending a secret meeting together.

At the main seat of the wooden table, a middle-aged man with a solemn expression was explaining information to everyone.

"As mentioned above, the Eight Wonders in the Alien World have reappeared. This time, it is the rumored end of the technique, the origin of the Qi body, which has appeared on Zhang Huaiyi's grandson."

"Quan Xing, the Ten Lords, Longhu Mountain, and many other alien forces are ready to make a move."

"Our next task is very difficult. We cannot allow another Jiashen Rebellion to happen again and cause social unrest to reoccur!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded continuously.

Only when they heard the name Longhu Mountain did they all frown in unison.

"Tianshi Mansion? Are they making any moves?"

someone asked.

"Old Heavenly Master, huh, what a big name, but you've already made an agreement, yet you still want to make some moves?"

Some people also said disdainfully:

"Times have long since changed. We are no longer using cold weapons as in ancient times. Masters of extraordinary powers can influence the outcome of battles and affect the rise and fall of a country."

"If he makes any unusual move, shoot him!"

"No!"

Someone's face changed and he said quickly:

"The aliens have many different methods and are difficult to defend against. Although we have some methods, we can't guarantee anything will happen. Moreover, Zhang Zhiwei has dominated the alien world for decades and no one dares to challenge him.

If I touch that child this time, what if..."

They all understood what was meant.

The authorities also have videos of him in action, which are rare. His mobility and destructive power are enough to kill them if they don't take Longhushan into consideration.

Even though it was just a one in a million chance, they didn't dare to gamble.

"Then what do we do?"

A kind-looking middle-aged woman said:
"We can't just leave the source of our Qi to these vagrants, can we?"

"It may not be possible."

At this time, the middle-aged man on the stage said thoughtfully:

"Our biggest advantage is that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. The origin of the Qi body is actually not a big deal. We can just sit on the wall and watch."

"Then, with the help of some chaos, we can suppress the alien world in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Originally, most of them did not approve of robbery and plunder. If they angered someone and were assassinated, they would have no place to cry.

Now that someone has spoken up, someone will act as a shield.

I felt relieved.

"It seems that no matter what time it is, you are always the same."

Just as everyone was about to leave, a faint sigh sounded, as if an invisible hand pressed them down on the chairs:
"Now, why don't you listen to my plan?"
