"Why is there … a mosaic?" Old Tang was puzzled.
"At first, I also suspected that something might have gone wrong, but I later realized that no matter what kind of information it was, it would turn into a mosaic in my hands. So this old man now suspects that this senior might have used some kind of spell, "General Yi said.
"What kind of spell?"
"I don't know yet." General Yi shook his head. "At first, I thought it was just a smokescreen or an illusion. At my current realm, as long as I open my Heavenly Eye, there's no spell that can hide from me … unless the level of this person's spell surpasses mine."
Old Tang sucked in a cold breath. "A spell surpassing a True Immortal's level?"
"That's right." General Yi nodded. "Fifth level Soul Formation, Sixth level Perfected Being, Seventh level Itinerant Immortal, Eighth level True Immortal … Of course, this old man has also heard that level eight spells aren't the limit for True Immortals, and that a small number of True Immortals can use ninth-grade transcendent spells that surpass level eight. It's very likely that what this Senior Ling is using is a ninth-grade transcendent spell. "
Old Tang immediately understood. "If even General Yi can't detect the smokescreen this senior has used, then it's really possible that what General Yi says is true … this senior might be a great expert who can use a ninth-grade transcendent spell. But has General Yi ever thought that there might be another possibility? "
"This old man knows what you want to say."
General Yi smiled and pinched his moustache. "You think this Senior Ling might be a Venerated Immortal, don't you?"
"Mm." Old Tang nodded. "To tell you the truth, I indeed have this thought."
"But I think you're worrying too much; it's simply impossible," General Yi said in a low voice.
"General Yi, can you tell me why?"
"It's true that there are indeed Venerated Immortals in this world, because they did exist before … But after so many years, our Huaxiu nation has joined forces with dozens of powerful countries to search for them, and we've never found any clues.
"Even if it's only the Immortal Zhenyuan who stepped into the Venerated Immortal realm recorded in our nation's historical records, that's just a legend; no one has ever seen a living senior of this realm in the world.
"For us cultivators, the realm of cultivation is for longevity. Although the theory of the Great Dao of Eternal Life has been mentioned a long time ago, it is indeed too illusory and simply impossible. Even those seniors in the Immortal Venerable Realm are just a pile of bones buried underground … Moreover, no one in our era will cultivate to the Immortal Venerable Realm. "
"What do you mean?" Elder Tang was confused.
General Yi said meaningfully, "Rumor has it that if you want to become a Venerated Immortal, you must undergo the Samsara Spirit Tribulation. However, in order to pass the cycle of reincarnation, one would need to consume an enormous amount of spiritual energy. In this era, although the speed of cultivation was fast, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was not as abundant as it was in the past. Sooner or later, it would be exhausted. Maybe a few thousand years, maybe ten thousand years later … "
Old Tang understood. This was the theory of the "End of Days" that had been proposed in the current world.
He remembered that a singer had written a song with the theme of the "End of Days", which was still fresh in Elder Tang's memory.
The lyrics were as follows:
When the world had no edges and corners …
When the flow of spiritual energy stopped...
When time stands still, day and night are not separated
When the Era of Spiritual Power disappeared …
…
The most important thing was that the theory of the "End of Days" wasn't nonsense, and had already gained the support of many bigwig experts from all over the world.
This topic was a little heavy and sad, and for a moment, the two old men in Elegant Little Pavilion fell silent.
Although their positions were different, they had both experienced major historical events and witnessed countless epics in the cultivation world. They had also witnessed Huaxiu nation's construction step by step and had transcended time and time to the present.
The end wasn't what they wanted to see …
After a few minutes, General Yi's tense expression finally relaxed.
He sipped his tea and calmed his thoughts, then couldn't help smiling. "Old Tang, this topic is too heavy, we shouldn't discuss it. Who knows what will happen in the future … maybe things will turn for the better. "
"You're right, General Yi." Old Tang nodded.
"Mm … Back to the topic of Senior Ling, there's one more thing this old man hasn't said." General Yi said, "There's actually a very simple reason why I don't think this Senior Ling is a Venerated Immortal … Old Tang, you have to know that supreme experts at the Venerated Immortal realm all have something called 'structure' in their hearts … This type of senior has very high standards, and if they really were able to live through that era, they basically wouldn't join chat groups."
Old Tang: "…"
"Can Old Tang imagine a Venerated Immortal senior chatting online at home and eating cheap snacks like spicy sticks and crispy noodle snacks every day?" General Yi asked.
Old Tang shook his head weakly. "Indeed, I can't imagine it …"
"That's why this Ling Zhenren can't be a Venerated Immortal." Clutching his phone, General Yi was actually a little depressed in his heart. "If he could be a Venerated Immortal with this level of wisdom … this old man would have gone through the Samsara Spirit Tribulation a thousand years ago!"
Old Tang: "…"
"If I have the chance, this old man will definitely find this Ling Zhenren and exchange blows with him personally."
General Yi's eyes were deep in thought, and he quickly waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this … it's very annoying …"
Old Tang smiled. "How about I play chess with General Yi?"
"No, no …"
General Yi opened a music app on his phone. "Come on, listen to a song first to calm down! This is a song that my adopted son Nine Times Man sang a while ago, expressing his dream of pursuing the entertainment industry! "
"Good! I'm all ears! "Old Tang nodded seriously.
After a delay of about two seconds, the prelude to the song started playing …
Then, a voice directly pierced Old Tang's eardrums like a thunderclap: Chasing dreams, chasing dreams, chasing dreams of show business, chasing dreams … We are pure, pure, pure, pure, pure, pure, pure …
…
Old Tang was directly stunned. "…"
General Yi: "How is it, Old Tang?"
Old Tang: "…"
General Yi: "Tell me the truth! If you don't, this old man will get angry! "
Old Tang was shaken, and he rubbed his temples. "Hm … the prelude is very passionate, it's a good song …"
General Yi laughed. "Hahaha! This old man knew that Old Tang's taste is indeed the same as mine! "
Old Tang: "…"
General Yi: "This song is very popular online! And even you, Old Tang, think it's good! Do you know what Douban's rating for it is? "
"…" Old Tang shook his head a little fearfully.
General Yi held up two fingers. Old Tang: "…"
"This old man was furious at that time! If it wasn't for my adopted son stopping me … this Douban would have already turned into bean paste! "
General Yi sighed deeply. "In today's society … if a song isn't as popular as someone else's, they give out bad reviews. Those professional players can't beat anyone else in a game, but they say they have cheats … this old man is very disappointed … "
Old Tang: "…"
