Jiang Wang's trip to the ruins of the Withered Yard was a blessing in disguise.
There was nothing more important in the Soaring Dragon Realm than cleansing one's Dao Heart. This time, he was even more confident that he would be able to clear away his ignorance after probing his inner heart.
Of course, the effort of cultivation itself was still accumulated over time.
"This fatty is very shrewd. Be careful when you fall into his trap."
While Jiang Wang was cultivating, Jiang Yan's voice suddenly sounded from the Nether Candle.
"Jiang Yan, I thought you understood the principle of 'distant relatives'."
"You are me, and I am you. Who's distant and who's close, do you see it clearly? "
Jiang Wang controlled the Soaring Dragon of his Dao Meridian and jumped into the mist of ignorance, too lazy to pay attention.
Why did Jiang Yan suddenly remind him to be wary of Chung Geng Sheng?
Jiang Wang wouldn't even consider this question. Some questions only needed to be considered to fall into a trap.
Jiang Yan had Jiang Yan's plan, and Jiang Wang had his own judgment.
No matter what, cultivation was the foundation of everything.
He knew that he wasn't as smart as Zhao Rucheng, nor was he as far-sighted as Chung Geng Sheng. All he could do was cultivate hard and grab hold of everything he could.
He would give up on interference and not do stupid things that the Zheng people would suspect.
No matter what Jiang Yan was planning, he wouldn't fall for it.
Li Longchuan wasn't lying when he said that Chung Geng Sheng's gift swallowed mountains and rivers.
Back when he left the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, he gave a longevity fruit to Jiang Wang. This was proof.
Lifespan was a very mysterious thing. It was predetermined, but it was also unpredictable. Before one witnessed it, it would never be constant. Only when one witnessed it would it be fixed.
There was an old saying in divination: "The greatest mystery of the heavens is the most unpredictable."
It spoke of the mysteries of lifespan.
Generally speaking, a person's lifespan was more of a range than a specific number.
For example, Zhang San was young and strong. Those who were slightly knowledgeable could determine that his lifespan was at least 50 years old. However, he did not have any means of recuperating, so it would be difficult for him to live to 80 years old.
Some experienced doctors could tell that Zhang San's Qi and blood were slightly lacking. He probably wouldn't live past 60, but reaching 30 wasn't a problem.
Some of the more powerful cultivators were able to see through the details of Zhang San's physical body. From there, they were able to narrow down the range even further and see between forty and fifty.
For example, the first time State Preceptor You Guo saw Jiang Wang, he knew that Jiang Wang's lifespan was short. This was also the reason.
Some ordinary people could also know that their time was up before they died. This was the feedback from his body. This kind of limit was fate.
However, it was not impossible to change one's fate.
Similarly, if a person grew up in luxury, he would naturally live longer than if he was hungry and full.
It was the same for cultivators who consumed pills and treasures. For example, the Year Nourishing Pill and Longevity Fruit were all like this.
However, the heavens have their own laws, and their lifespans are limited. All of these life-prolonging treasures could only be used once. Taking more than one would be useless.
For example, after taking the Year Nourishing Pill that could increase one's lifespan by one year, the effects would be better. Year Nourishing Pills that could increase one's lifespan by three, four, or even five years would all be useless.
For example, after Jiang Wang took the Longevity Fruit that could increase one's lifespan by twenty years, the Longevity Fruit of any age would no longer be useful.
This prevented the possibility of life-prolonging treasures being completely monopolized by some peerless cultivators, because monopolization was useless to them.
Due to this, the State Preceptor You Guo, Zhao Cang, had very subtle thoughts when he gave Jiang Wang a Year Nourishing Pill that could increase one's lifespan by one year. For ordinary people and even ordinary xiuzhe, increasing one's lifespan by one year was a good thing.
However, with Jiang Wang's potential, he definitely had a chance to buy a better Year Nourishing Pill in the future. However, after taking this one year Year Nourishing Pill, he lost all hope of increasing his lifespan through this path.
It was only after Jiang Wang had arrived in the State of Qi that he realized what was going on when he looked back.
There was a limit to one's lifespan. This limit had been discovered by the sages. It was exactly one hundred twenty nine years and six months.
This was indeed the record for the longest lifespan of a mortal who had not cultivated or taken any life-prolonging treasures recorded in history.
The so-called Transcendence surpassed the power of mortals, but it was difficult to break the limit of one's lifespan.
Unlike mortals, xiuzhe had a healthy body and were immune to diseases, so they could approach the end of their lifespan with relative ease. On the other hand, it was difficult for mortals to live past ninety.
Xiuzhe had more opportunities to come into contact with life-prolonging treasures, but the dangers of losing one's lifespan during xiuzhe were also difficult for mortals to encounter. Some injuries could not be healed at all. Therefore, in terms of lifespan, some xiuzhe might not even be as long as mortals.
In terms of xiuzhe itself.
Xiuzhe would still suffer from the decline of Qi and blood all the way to the Outer Building Realm.
Even someone as strong as Ji Cheng, who was at the peak of the Outer Building Realm, had his Qi and blood deteriorated and his xiuzhe regressed after his body was injured and his spirit was damaged.
If he had not held on, he would not have been able to survive until the battle of Qi Yang.
Only after reaching the Divine Arrival Realm could one seal one's Qi and blood and stabilize one's True Body. It was called the Golden Body Jade Marrow, and the body was indestructible. Until death, one would not suffer from the decline of Qi and blood. Until death, one could maintain one's peak state.
This was the reason why the Divine Arrival Realm was called the Immortal Realm in ancient times.
Xiuzhe could easily live past the limit of one's lifespan after reaching the Divine Arrival Realm. The Divine Arrival Realm was also seen as truly breaking the limit of one's lifespan. "I'm like a god" was not just about power.
In the ancient times, chaos was the main theme. Even those in the Divine Arrival Realm could not guarantee their safety.
The legend of "Immortal" continued until … the first Divine Arrival Realm expert who did not suffer from illness or disaster died of old age at the age of five hundred and eighteen.
That person maintained the Golden Body Jade Marrow for his entire life. The moment he died, he aged and collapsed.
The Immortal Realm became a fake Immortal.
Leaving aside the higher realms, when Jiang Wang was in the ruins of the Withered Yard, he asked himself and his Dao Heart became firmer. Looking at himself, he understood his regret — he needed to make up for the loss of his lifespan due to the White Bone Path's evil arts. He needed to make up for the "limit of one's lifespan".
It was not that he would not be able to improve if he did not make up for this "regret". It was just that his future cultivation would be more difficult.
However, anything that could increase one's lifespan was a treasure. Chung Geng Sheng's Longevity Fruit was coincidental. When he went to find the Longevity Fruit to make friends with Jiang Wang, he did not have much confidence.
The world's treasures were hard to come by. He could only keep them in his heart and wait for the right opportunity.
…
Two days passed peacefully. Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate.
He had fought more than a hundred battles in the Great Illusionary Realm.
Until this afternoon.
An uninvited guest came to the Sunset Mountain Villa.
The person was still on the way, but the gift arrived first.
Gold, silver, jewels, jades, and emeralds, there were eight loads of these things. They were not much.
The land deeds and medicine store deeds listed on the gift list were the most important — these were things that Chung Geng Sheng urgently needed to establish the Desheng Chamber of Commerce. If they were to reopen the big market in the Yang Land, they would not have enough food and medicine.
Although the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce also allocated large amounts of resources, they could not completely satisfy Chung Geng Sheng's appetite. After all, no matter how big the business in the Yang Land was, most of it belonged to Chung Geng Sheng.
Two horses with demonic beast bloodlines pulled the carriage. A Soaring Dragon Realm expert was the coachman.
The two guards who followed the carriage were also in high spirits.
The ostentation was not small, and the sincerity was not lacking.
First, the gifts were presented, then the visitation card, and the carriage followed.
However, when this extremely extravagant carriage arrived in front of the villa, the door was tightly shut. The gifts that were previously delivered were neatly placed outside the door.
The door was closed.
The owner of the carriage had just lifted the curtain.
There was a whoosh.
The visitation card that was sent out flashed and stabbed into the carriage door!
