The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was actually watching them and was waiting to take advantage of them when both of them were injured. Not only Jiang Xinyue, but even Jiang Li felt that the situation was extremely dangerous.
Unfortunately, they could not move at the moment as if they were broken machines. They had the heart, but their bodies could not move.
Initially, during the critical moment of life and death, Jiang Xinyue could activate her sacred fetus to fly and abandon her body to find another body to possess. Now that her Soul Card had been destroyed, if the sacred fetus flew out, it would probably be killed by Heaven's will in an instant. Besides, the sacred fetus might not be able to fly out of the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One's hands.
This was because the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was a powerhouse in the Origin Breathing State.
Although the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One retreated after Jiang Xie, Jiang Mie, and Jiang Xinyue joined hands, it was very cunning and could not be predicted with common sense. Jiang Mie had been watching in the dark, and he finally found an opportunity.
He looked at Jiang Li and clicked his tongue. "A God-given genius, a God-given genius — I've never seen such a genius. Chang Ding's boundary is fighting against a cultivator in the second level of the Embryonic Breathing State. Both of them were injured, and this lady isn't an ordinary cultivator in the second level of the Embryonic Breathing State. I really don't want to kill you, but I want to take you in as my disciple to inherit my teachings. You'll bring honor to my family. Besides, you don't have the aura of an otherworldly devil on you. In any case, it's a strong aura from the cultivation world, so you're obviously blessed by Heaven. "
"Hehe, you're mistaken, 10,000 Beasts Venerable One." Jiang Xinyue calmed down from the initial shock. The lady had always been calm and collected. She did not change her expression even when 10,000 swords pierced her heart, and she spoke frankly with assurance. As such, Jiang Li rather admired her.
Disciples from the Jiang family, who could fight in the cultivation world, were naturally exceptional geniuses.
"How could I be mistaken?" The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One moved all of a sudden, causing clouds and mists to appear around it. They enveloped Jiang Li and Jiang Xinyue, then they actually soared into the sky. "Gentlemen, I'll bring you to a good place. Hahaha … Let's talk nicely. I can't bear to kill you. "
"10,000 Beasts Venerable One, he's also the otherworldly devil that you mentioned. He's the same as me, so don't misjudge him." Jiang Xinyue moved her body. When she saw Jiang Li leaning against her, she could not move at all because the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had placed Jiang Li with her. She felt uncomfortable because their bodies were pressed against each other, but she could only endure it.
Jiang Li smiled bitterly and said, "Jiang Xinyue, both of us have suffered great losses, and others have taken advantage of us. How can you say that? Right now, we should work together and escape with our lives. "
"Hahaha …" The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One laughed out loud. "You escaped? You're interesting to think about escaping at this time."
"Of course. Also, this woman is an otherworldly demon. If you kill her, you will be rewarded by Heaven's will." Seeing that Jiang Xinyue was badmouthing him, Jiang Li added some rotten medicine.
"Haha." The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One laughed out loud again. "You don't need to fight, and I won't kill you. You're very valuable to me, so how can I bear to kill you? That said, I'll have to carefully consider how I should deal with you. Let's go to my 10,000 Beasts Cave. "
After flying for about a day and a night, Jiang Li and Jiang Xinyue were thrown together along the way. Both of them remained silent as they healed their injuries.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One also ignored them as though it was letting them treat its injuries.
Nonetheless, Jiang Li felt that he was circulating his energy much slower inside the cloud, and Jiang Xinyue's injuries were not treated at all. He knew the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was playing tricks on him.
All of a sudden, the cloud withdrew, and the 2 of them fell. It was then when Jiang Li realized that he and Jiang Xinyue had entered the depths of a cave. It was a stone cave, which was extremely spacious and tens of meters tall. It was surrounded by coral bookshelves, and it gave off an ancient feeling. Other than that, in the center of the cave, there was a pill furnace. It was about 20 meters tall, and below it, the earth fire was burning fiercely. The walls of the cave were inlaid with bright gems, illuminating the cave so that there was not a trace of darkness. In the corner, there was a spring that was spewing clear spring water, forming a small deep pool.
In front of the bookshelf was a zither.
On the wall, swords were hung.
Clear water, alchemy furnace, bookshelf, ancient swords, and zither. These items formed the cave's interior decoration, which looked simple, elegant, and otherworldly.
From this, it could be seen that the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was not an evil cultivator, but a hermit immortal-like figure.
Following that, Jiang Li realized that he and Jiang Xinyue had landed on a big bed. The bed was padded with thick beast hides, which were made from some unknown animal's fur. It was incredibly comfortable as if they were in the clouds.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One sat down and looked at Jiang Li and Jiang Xinyue, which it had thrown onto the bed. It stated, "You're both geniuses, so I can't bear to kill you. How about this — tell me your techniques, then acknowledge me as your disciples. After that, acknowledge me as your master and become my disciple, and I'll let you off.
"Acknowledge me as your master? I'm an otherworldly devil. "Jiang Xinyue was very calm." Aren't you afraid that you'll be implicated, and the cultivation world's Heaven's will will punish you? "
"The cultivation world's Heaven's will?" The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked at the sky. "Heaven's will is unpredictable, but I finally understand that Heaven is actually a restraint for us. It only treats us as food, and it'll harvest us once it's full. Honestly, I'm envious of otherworldly devils like you — no, humans from Earth. You're not bound by Heaven's will, and you can fight and plunder freely in the universe. "
"Why? 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, are you thinking that the cultivation world is going to be destroyed soon, so you want to rely on humans from Earth? That's great — you're forsaking darkness for light. " Jiang Xinyue immediately responded, "I guarantee that you'll be rich and powerful, and your cultivation base will rise greatly. You should know who's behind me — Saint Nalan. Your cultivation world's saints fought him countless times, and he even killed one of them. I'm sure you know what kind of person he is. If you rely on the Jiang family, you'll be a high-ranking official among the humans on Earth in the future."
"I know about Jiang Nalan — he's powerful indeed." The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded. "But I don't believe that he can resist Heaven's will."
"Oh? If he can't resist Heaven's will, who can? "Jiang Xinyue questioned.
"Among the humans on Earth, there's a being called Wang Chao. Many years ago, he descended to the cultivation world and built the first base. Many of our saints fought him, and they even joined hands, but they couldn't defeat him. In the end, Heaven's will made a move, but he communicated with the Fire Dimension and built a massive formation. He said that he was going to destroy the cultivation world, but Heaven's will couldn't do anything about it, so it reached an agreement with him and was willing to let humans from Earth live there. Once the humans from Earth came, they burned, killed, and looted. Heaven's will initially wanted to question Wang Chao, but he disappeared completely, so it annulled the agreement and wanted to kill the humans from Earth. "
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One continued, "Therefore, Jiang Nalan is really nothing to Wang Chao."
"Something like that happened? I only know that Wang Chao was the first person to build a base in the cultivation world, but I didn't know that he fought Heaven's will? "Jiang Xinyue was shocked.
"That's only a secret, and I heard it from a great ancestor. Needless to say, Heaven's will isn't worthy of admiration or respect from me. I also know that after we die, Heaven's will will suck us away and make us a part of it. As the saying goes, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Heaven treats us as food, so I naturally won't respect it at all. " The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One continued, "But I won't surrender to the humans from Earth either. They treat me as a different species because I have a different bloodline, so I can't blend in with them. Therefore, I'll look for an opportunity to become a saint."
"Become a saint? You're still a Chaotic Origin Breath now, so you're worlds away from becoming a saint. " Jiang Li could not help but add, "Besides, I think Heaven's will is very strict with Saints now because a saint will escape its supervision if one appears."
"That's why I thought of you." The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One pointed at Jiang Li. "Especially you. If I'm not mistaken, you're born with great luck. You're a chess piece set up by the cultivation world's will. "
"You're wrong this time — he's a real human from Earth." Jiang Xinyue smiled and was about to say something else. She knew she would be doomed if she ended up in the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One's hands, but she still talked and laughed cheerfully. Colors could only be seen between life and death.
"Even if he's a human from Earth, he's also Heaven's will's chess piece. You can set up chess pieces in the cultivation world, but can't Heaven's will do the same for humans from Earth?" The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had a mysterious look on its face. "Okay, I'll cut to the chase. Long ago, I obtained a 10,000 Beasts' Devil-Subduing Secret Classic and even obtained a pill from an ancient powerhouse. I cultivated hard for 300 years to achieve what I have now, but I don't have much time left. Even if my body doesn't decay, my soul will be pulled away by the void's power of nothingness because it has matured. Therefore, I must borrow your powers to break through. "
"Oh? You're in the Embryonic Breathing State, but you'll die of old age in 300 years? How's that possible? " Jiang Xinyue's face changed. She seemed to have heard a secret. "According to scientific theory, a body as a fetus can be preserved for at least a few thousand years or even 10,000 years."
"A powerful body can increase one's lifespan, but the soul's death can't be avoided. Do you know what dying without a disease means? Many people have good bodies, but they die all of a sudden because their souls have matured. As soon as one's soul matures, it'll be sucked away by the void. A human's soul comes from the void. After a period of time, one's soul will be sucked away by the void, and it'll disperse. Therefore, a human's lifespan is related to the body, but it's also closely related to the soul, "Jiang Li explained.
He dreamt back to the cultivation world, so he knew the secret of a human's life and death.
Humans on Earth had only lived for 200 years, so they thought that they would not die if they had strong bodies and did not age. In actual fact, they were wrong.
If one could not die if one had a good body, what about the countless people in history who "died without a disease"?
