To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 761: Chapter 333: Ascension of the World_2

Not only had he made so many friends, but he also got married, had children, and established his own foundation. These were all ties and belongings he now had.

However, no matter how deep the ties and sense of belonging, he did not forget what his true essence was.

Longevity.

On the road to longevity, everything else is just scenery along the way, with only the self remaining as eternal and unique.

The current strife in the world is but a mere part of life’s scenery.

Perhaps after living for an eternal number of years, the memories of today would be insignificant, simply an inconsequential part of a much larger whole.

Knowing the vast future ahead, Lu Yuan would never forsake the bigger picture for a minor consideration and risk losing his entire future here.

When faced with insurmountable obstacles, he would certainly be the first to bring his family and friends away from Chu State and hide in Central State, rather than staying here and fighting to the death.

Of course, this is only an extreme outcome.

No one knows how the future will unfold.

Chu State and Lu Yuan still have more than a hundred years left. In such a long time, they might find a way to ensure their survival.

However, for now, after hearing this news so suddenly, Lu Yuan could not come up with a viable solution even if he racked his brain and tried his hardest.

After gazing at the colorful plum blossoms for a while, he finally withdrew his gaze and sighed softly, “When Heaven and Earth are about to collapse, as a mere mortal, being like dust in this vast universe, what can I do?”

Jinyun, who was standing beside him, also felt sad upon hearing these words.

As a native of the Nine Provinces and a local of Yangzhou, though he was born into an Immortal Sect and had severed ties with the secular world, he was ultimately a part of Heaven and Earth and could not transcend beyond it.

Upon knowing that his world was about to fall, he could not help but feel downhearted.

However, bearing the heavy responsibility of his sect, he eventually mustered his courage and said, “If Your Majesty has no solution, why not listen to the humble advice of this poor Daoist?”

“Oh?”

Lu Yuan heard him and put away his own concerns. Knowing the important part was coming, he turned his head, looked at Jinyun with a serious expression, and said, “Please do share, Fellow Daoist.”

Jinyun nodded and said solemnly, “In the face of the great disaster of Heaven and Earth, all living beings in the Nine Provinces have nowhere to hide. If we want to survive this tribulation, my Feishuang Tao can offer Your Majesty two choices that may help us overcome these difficulties.”

Two choices?

A spark flickered in Lu Yuan’s eyes upon hearing this.

Confronting this great catastrophe, he couldn’t find even one feasible method.

However, Feishuang Tao casually mentioned two choices.

Even if Lu Yuan did not know if these choices were feasible, it already proved that these ancient Immortal Sects indeed had some tricks up their sleeves.

However, Lu Yuan only pondered this in his heart, and did not interrupt Jinyun. Instead, he continued listening quietly to what the other had to say.

“The first choice is to ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

With a determined heart, Jinyun openly shared his thoughts and motives, “Four Extremities Breaking, great disaster befalling the Nine Provinces, the world is now on the brink of collapse and beyond salvation.

In such a world where there is no Spiritual Energy left to cultivate, and Heaven and Earth no longer suitable for living, the entire world will become a place of death.”

“Why not follow in the footsteps of the ancient Immortals, directly ascend to the Immortal Realm, and transcend this miserable world?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jinyun used the Buddhist term “miserable world” to vividly depict the situation of this realm.

After listening, Lu Yuan’s face slightly changed, “Ascension?”

“Yes, ascend,” Jinyun nodded affirmatively, then continued, “Ever since sensing the changes in Heaven and Earth five years ago, every Immortal Sect and Dao Inheritance of the Nine Provinces have dispatched people to investigate the situation in Beiming Youdu.

Now, five years have passed, and those who went to Beiming Youdu have returned with detailed information.

The great array in Beiming Youdu is indeed collapsing due to a lack of Spiritual Energy but is only currently affecting the peripheral areas.”

“The defensive arrays in the peripheral areas are gradually shutting down due to the lack of Spiritual Energy.”

Fortunately, the core area, which affects the function of the array, still has enough Spiritual Energy to maintain its operation for the time being.”

However, if the situation continues, within ten years, the core array will also be affected, and when there is no more Spiritual Energy to supply it, the teleportation ability of Beiming Youdu will be completely closed.”

“By then, the current state of affairs in the Age of Dharma Decline will make it impossible to reactivate the array.”

“Therefore, all the Sects, Buddhist Institutes, and other Dao Inheritances of the Nine Provinces, totaling seventeen powerful inheriting forces, have made up our minds.”

“One year from now, we will gather all the disciples from every Sect, along with those who possess mystical powers and are willing to ascend, and go together to Beiming Youdu.”

“Taking advantage of the ability of the array to still operate, when there is still Spiritual Energy in the Nine Provinces, and the array can still be activated.”

“We will directly activate the array, ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

“This will be the Ascension of the entire world!”

As Jinyun reached this point, a sense of passion filled his voice, and he stared intently at Lu Yuan, his eyes gleaming with an unwavering conviction.

However, it made sense.

Ascending together with the cultivators of the entire world required tremendous courage and determination, which could easily stir people’s hearts and desires.

Especially the phrase “Ascension of the entire world,” it was truly touching.

Even Lu Yuan couldn’t help but be slightly mesmerized upon hearing it.

Jinyun was no exception.

He spoke with eagerness, “The Immortal Realm is the origin of Spiritual Energy. As long as we can ascend there, we will never again have to worry about competing for the meager Spiritual Energy in our cultivation as we do now.”
