Chapter 674 Longevity and Eternal Life!
Hoo~
The ripples in the starry sky had yet to subside, two divine lights entwined, ethereal beings stood in opposition, unlike humans.
The Star God stood to one side, clearly also at the Feng Wang (King Sealing) level, but at this time, he had become a foil to the two, like the sun and moon in the sky, dimming the stars.
"Seeking eternity, no wonder it's called the Eternal Life Gate..."
An Qisheng seemed to be sighing, discerning something, yet shaking his head slightly:
"It's just a pity..."
His realm was extremely high, and his vision was also extremely high. After staring for a moment, he had already seen the power of this Eternal Life Gate Master.
The aura on his body was complete, like a 'Golden Elixir' polished for billions of years, flawless and without leakage. On him, he could see the shadows of 'Yang God', 'Star God', and the previous 'Blood God'.
In fact, this Eternal Life Gate Master was the mysterious person who imparted the Dao to Yang God in his original destiny trajectory.
It was not difficult to imagine that the Star God and Blood God also came from his hand.
"This Dao friend seems to know quite a bit about us..."
The Eternal Life Gate Master's gaze flickered slightly, and he asked in reply, "But I wonder what is a pity, and what is there to regret?"
His tone was gentle as he stared at An Qisheng, showing great interest.
Having personally created seven Feng Wang, he was very clear about how terrifying the difficulty of Feng Wang was in today's world. In order to cross that threshold, he had exhausted an unknown amount of resources.
He had only been dormant for a thousand years, and before his slumber, he had never heard of such an expert.
This meant that this white-haired Daoist had only used less than a thousand years to reach the heavens, achieving the Feng Wang against the heavens.
Such talent was probably not much inferior to himself back then.
Compared to his most satisfying 'enlightened' work, 'Yu Du God', he was even a notch stronger.
This was a peerless genius who relied on his own strength to achieve Feng Wang against the heavens before the changes in the world!
Naturally, he was worthy of his attention.
"Stars still have an end, and even heaven and earth have limits. Even the sea of stars and the universe will eventually collapse. It seems unlikely that you seek eternal life."
The kingly authority spear in his hand trembled slightly as An Qisheng sensed the aftermath of the previous collision between the two. He spoke unhurriedly:
"Ancient and modern emperors are still unattainable, so what do you rely on?"
The instinct for survival was inherent in living beings, branded in their bones. The desire for continuation in the soul was inherited from generations of living beings.
Xuan Xing had only ten thousand years of history, and had no spiritual energy at all, a wasteland devoid of magic, but those seeking longevity were still as numerous as carps crossing the river.
The Myriad Yang World had thirty million years of history, with countless talented cultivators emerging, expanding from nothing, nine realms above and eleven steps beyond.
It was easy to imagine that in the past, present, and even the future, there would be no shortage of people seeking 'long life', 'eternal life', and 'immortality'.
An Qisheng would not be surprised by the existence of the Eternal Life Gate.
Without the Eternal Life Gate, there would be other sects. This was within expectations.
Compared to this, he was more curious about who this mysterious Eternal Life Gate Master was under the shroud of divine light?
Those who habitually concealed their tracks did not want to reveal their identities.
He...
"Dao friend seems to know even more than I imagined..."
The Eternal Life Gate Master seemed to have noticed something, and there was a trace of fluctuation in his calm tone: "You are guessing my identity, have you gained anything?"
He noticed An Qisheng's actions, but he didn't care at all.
Just as An Qisheng didn't care about the Star God being by his side, they both had absolute confidence in themselves.
"I haven't even seen your face, so how can I have gained anything?"
An Qisheng dragged the tip of his spear forward, his gaze becoming deep and uncertain: "At best, you're an old immortal who has lived for a long time by unknown means, or perhaps..."
"A certain Emperor!"
At the end of his words, An Qisheng's gaze was like an arrow, piercing straight at the Eternal Life Gate Master, as if trying to see through the divine light that enveloped him and see his true face!
Unfortunately, the divine light seemed to be only a thin layer, but it blocked his gaze and perception.
It was as if behind the divine light was another universe and starry sky, and ordinary means could not pry into its details and origins.
A certain Emperor?!
Hearing those last four words, the Star God's heart also stirred. This guess was not only An Qisheng's, but also the same guess that he, Yang God, Light King, Blood God, and others had made.
Unfortunately, even though they had known each other for a long time, they had no way to verify it.
Unfortunately, the divine light isolated all external prying, and An Qisheng's gaze and perception could not penetrate it.
He naturally couldn't see through the divine light barrier either.
"You guessed well..."
The Eternal Life Gate Master's voice was calm, and no changes could be seen. Only the gaze that flowed through the divine light changed for a moment:
"If you guessed correctly, then who do you think I am?"
"Guesses are still guesses, and there is no need to speak them out. Who you are is meaningless to me."
An Qisheng's gaze sank.
He was naturally not wasting his breath with this Eternal Life Gate Master. During the conversation, he was also using the Great Dream of a Thousand Worlds supernatural power to capture the imprint of this person scattered between heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, even though the two had a previous collision from afar, he could not capture even a trace of this person's aura.
It was as if he did not exist in this world at all.
Putting aside his cultivation, this control and convergence of his own traces had already surpassed the Star God, Yang God, and others by too much.
The wind blows the leaves, and footprints remain in the snow. How can a person not leave traces between heaven and earth?
But this person's traces seemed to be truly nonexistent!
'These two...'
The Star God's eyelids twitched, but he still suppressed his emotions.
Of course, he would not think that these two had any friendship or were really having a pleasant conversation, but this kind of probing felt oppressive to him.
The unknown was always more terrifying than what had already happened.
The two stood facing each other, both restrained and not revealing anything. He had to be on high alert, so how could he not be tense?
"If you didn't care, you wouldn't be probing me again and again."
The Eternal Life Gate Master's gaze was indifferent, and his voice was even calmer:
"You don't need to try. I'll give you a chance. Join the Eternal Life Gate, and you will know who I am."
"Gate Master?!"
Before the divine intention could finish speaking, the Star God's expression changed, and he couldn't help but try to stop him.
This person almost killed Yang God, forcing him to this point. If he were allowed to join the Eternal Life Gate, where would they have a chance to take revenge?
But the Eternal Life Gate Master just glanced at him faintly, and the Star God had no choice but to swallow all his words.
That deep reverence made An Qisheng's heart stir again.
This seemed to be more than just the effect that imparting the Dao could achieve. The latter's reverence for the former was not at all false.
"What do you say?"
The Eternal Life Gate Master looked at An Qisheng again.
"In my life, I have never joined any sect. I appreciate your kindness."
An Qisheng shook his head and refused.
Although he was somewhat curious about the Eternal Life Gate, it was not enough to make him join.
From the Jiu Fu Realm to the present, spanning several realms, he had never had the idea of joining another sect even at his lowest point. Now that his Dao was complete, he would naturally not do so even more.
"What a pity."
The Eternal Life Gate Master said it was a pity, but there was no fluctuation in his tone.
Hoo~
The body under the shroud of divine light took a step forward, the starry sky shook, and endless spiritual energy rolled in, like thousands of dragons prostrating before him.
It transformed into a divine light rainbow spanning tens of thousands of miles, for him to step on.
An invisible and terrifying aura suddenly rose from all parts of the starry sky, as if several gods had lowered their bodies from the highest point of the starry sky, pulling up the surrounding starry sky.
Like a curtain, it was pulled up to the highest point.
An Qisheng looked around, the starry sky shook, but there were no more ripples outwards. The upper and lower directions were completely isolated, this lonely starry sky.
It was truly 'isolated' from the outside world.
Inside, it had completely become the Eternal Life Gate Master's home ground. This scene was earth-shattering.
It made many people on the only star in this starry sky terrified, and even more people kowtowed and worshiped, praising the gods.
The Eternal Life Gate was never a sect, but a religion.
The religion worshiped not the illusory gods, but the Eternal Life Gate Masters of the past!
They compared themselves to gods!
"Rejecting me will not be a good idea."
On the vast rainbow, under the shroud of divine light, the Eternal Life Gate Master spoke indifferently: "It was not easy for you to cultivate to this point. It would be a pity for me to cut off your path."
"Cut off my path?"
An Qisheng stood with his spear and couldn't help but smile dumbly:
"If you had such ability, you would have already suppressed the world, using the wisdom of all living beings, all races, and all spirits in one world as nourishment. Not to mention eternal life, longevity might be possible!"
Walking through the realms, what An Qisheng gained was not only the increase in power. Observing the differences between the realms, he could also perceive many misconceptions.
Just like the Myriad Yang World, cultivators had long lifespans compared to ordinary people, and all great power belonged to themselves. They could capture the moon with a smile and cause the earth to collapse with a gesture.
They had no malice towards the mortal world, but they also didn't care about it.
But to some extent, the source of human wisdom, the self-awareness, had no distinction between high and low in the beginning.
One person closing the door to build a car was far from comparable to spreading the law to the world and the collision of the wisdom of all beings.
Even if An Qisheng's divine intent was strong at this time, and using one mind for ten thousand tasks, or even hundreds of millions of tasks, was commonplace, his vision and his thinking were equal.
Even if he transformed into hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions, he would still only be one person, unable to possess different thoughts and wisdom in hundreds of millions.
He had already understood this point when Su Jie and Chu Fan in Xuan Xing figured out the 'soul template'.
The most precious thing about all races and all spirits was that 'flash of inspiration'!
"You said... gathering the wisdom of all living beings as nourishment?"
The Eternal Life Gate Master paused slightly, as if chewing on the meaning of An Qisheng's words, seeming to gain something, yet also being surprised:
"Mortals are weak and more ignorant, struggling between life and death, and what they desperately obtain is nothing more than the instinctive desires of food and inheritance, not much different from wild beasts...
Your idea is interesting, interesting..."
Buzz~
The spear crossed the sky, ringing loudly.
When cultivation reached An Qisheng's level, the form of spiritual treasures and divine weapons was no longer important. Whether it was a knife, a sword, a staff, or a club, it was only an extension of the Dao, a carrier of the Dao.
If it was suitable to be a sword, then it was a sword. If it was suitable to use a spear, then it was a spear!
"Inheritance is an instinctive desire, but isn't longevity and eternal life the same?"
Boom!
The spear rang like the roar of ten thousand dragons, and terrifying divine power like substance burst out, blasting towards the ethereal figure walking on the rainbow bridge:
"Elevating oneself while belittling others, saying you are an Emperor is an insult to the sages!"
