What is longevity?

The cold wind whistled, and white snow fluttered!

One snowstorm, overnight, turned everything white.

Zhong Qing strolled in the courtyard, looking at the falling snow, and was in a great mood!

Cultivating to his Realm, he was naturally immune to hot and cold, and the changing seasons, in his opinion, were more like embellishments of different scenery in the world.

During this period, Gu Man would come to Zhong Qing every day to ask some questions about Cultivation.

This day was no exception!

"Sir, I have always had a question in my heart."

"I hope you can answer it!"

"Speak!"

Zhong Qing stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard.

Since cultivating to the Great Perfection of the Myriad Laws Realm, the world had taken on a different color in Zhong Qing's eyes.

This vast expanse of white snow, in the eyes of ordinary people, might just be an endless white.

But in his eyes, the fluttering snowflakes seemed to possess a different vitality and color.

They had an unconventional life and vigor.

Gu Man walked on the white snow and finally stopped under a withered old tree in the courtyard.

Today, she wore a white dress.

A silver bell hung at her waist.

As she walked, the silver bell jingled, yet it did not irritate, but rather filled the air with a melodious sound.

This sound and the girl's temperament matched perfectly.

She plucked a withered branch with her delicate hand.

With confusion in her eyes, she said, "Spring goes and autumn comes, summer arrives and winter is cold, the four seasons Reincarnate into a year, the heaven and earth's time is long, and the sun, moon, and stars are almost Immortal."

"However, we Cultivators, compared to this heaven and earth, are truly too insignificant."

"A Mortal's Lifespan is two hundred years, and although a Cultivator's Lifespan greatly increases, they still cannot escape the Reincarnation of birth, old age, sickness, and death!"

"Even the supreme Emperor only possesses a Lifespan of three kalpas (one kalpa is one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years)."

"These past few days, whatever I asked, you always had an answer, and your breadth of knowledge is the greatest I have ever seen in my life."

"But I wonder, is there a method for eternal life in this world?"

This question made Zhong Qing pause.

Eternal life, since ancient times, has been the ultimate goal pursued by people.

How many kings, marquises, generals, and prime ministers, rich and powerful merchants, after achieving great success in life, all took eternal life as their ultimate goal?

Not only Mortals, but even Cultivators, spend their lives pursuing the path of power and eternal life.

It's just as Gu Man said, although Cultivators' Lifespan greatly increases.

But they cannot live forever, even the supreme Emperor only has a Lifespan of three kalpas.

Looking back at the entire long river of history, it seems that no one has ever been heard of achieving eternal life.

Is there a method for eternal life in this world?

Yes!

At least, Zhong Qing knew of a quasi-eternal life method.

That was to become the Lord of the World.

To shine with the sun and moon, to exist as long as heaven and earth.

This was the information transmitted to Zhong Qing after the Small World transformed in the Abyss.

If he could keep evolving the Small World, theoretically, he could achieve true eternal life.

Of course, if he could cultivate to the end of the Dao, he might not be unable to achieve eternal life.

It's just that this path is too difficult.

Throughout history, in the Cognition of the world, the Emperor was already the Peak of the Dao.

Looking at generation after generation of Cultivators, all took the Emperor as the ultimate goal of their lives.

This was the end of Cultivation in their understanding.

As for whether there was a path beyond the Emperor?

This was not a question ordinary people could access.

Of course, Zhong Qing possessed an unknown number of Emperor Scriptures.

Above the Emperor Scriptures, not only were there Cultivation Techniques for Emperors, but many also contained the Emperors' late-life insights and even their exploration of eternal life.

Zhong Qing would flip through these Emperor Scriptures in his early years.

Many Emperor Scriptures mentioned it.

Immortals... can live forever!

It's just whether Immortals truly exist is still an unsolved mystery in today's Cultivation world.

Zhong Qing pondered for a moment before replying, "Yes!"

"It's just that this method of eternal life is not something ordinary people can access."

Hearing this, Gu Man's eyes lit up.

It was the radiance of faith and hope being confirmed.

Gu Man was not only the most beautiful woman in Wanbian City.

At the same time, she was also the former top Genius of Wanbian City.

At her age, cultivating to the Three Yang First Realm.

This was a pretty good achievement even in the entire Chaotic Land.

It was a pity that she had rushed to Breakthrough, which left a chronic illness in her body, and since then, her cultivation had stagnated.

These past few years, City Lord Gu Yan had been searching for various Spirit Pills and precious medicines for her, intending to repair her Foundation.

It wasn't until a few days ago that her injuries were completely healed.

The original Gu Man was not only incredibly talented but also extremely diligent in Cultivation.

But after experiencing great ups and downs in life, one always gains some insights.

Her own recovery from injury was originally a great cause for joy.

However, Gu Man found that she had recently fallen into a Cultivation bottleneck.

She had once fallen into confusion.

What was the meaning of Cultivation?

What was the point of cultivating to the end?

Even an Emperor, in the end, only possessed a Lifespan of three kalpas.

What about after three kalpas?

Didn't they still turn into a handful of yellow earth!

No matter how magnificent and glorious you were in life, what about in the end?

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.

Even if your achievements are great and your strength is strong, what's the point?

Now, hearing Zhong Qing say that there is a method for eternal life in the world.

She felt that her Cultivation belief had strengthened by several points.

If one could live forever, then everything seemed to become meaningful.

Even if there were many difficulties involved.

But in life, what one fears most is not difficulty.

But the absence of hope.

If there are difficulties, they can be solved.

If even hope is gone, then truly nothing is left.

For a moment, Gu Man only felt that her path ahead became clearer.

Her confused life gradually found answers.

And as a flash of realization flickered in her eyes, the Aura on her body began to rise.

Streams of Spiritual Qi gathered into her body from all directions.

Thus, after an unknown amount of time.

A roaring sound erupted from her body.

Her cultivation, which had not advanced an inch for several years, took another step forward.

She leaped from the Three Yang First Realm to become a master of the Three Yang Second Realm.

After a long while!

Gu Man opened her eyes.

A pair of bright big eyes looked at Zhong Qing, full of surprise, saying, "Thank you, Sir!"

Zhong Qing was slightly moved by this.

This girl's talent was even higher than he had imagined by several points.

He could see that at this moment, Gu Man's Dao Heart was clear, and her whole body exuded a vibrant Qi.

This was clearly the rhythm of soaring to the sky!

Next, her cultivation would definitely advance rapidly, like a hot knife through butter.

If, before, Zhong Qing only had the thought of taking this girl in.

Then this girl's performance today further solidified his intention to take her as a Disciple.

Zhong Qing waved his hand: "No need to be polite!"

"What you have gained is entirely due to your astonishing talent and excellent Comprehension Ability!"

"I wonder, are you willing to become my Named Disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Man was overjoyed.

After spending this time together, she naturally knew what kind of person Zhong Qing was.

Not only was he powerful, but his profound insights into Cultivation were also the greatest she had ever seen in her life.

She had long had the idea of becoming his Disciple, but had never dared to propose it, fearing Zhong Qing's displeasure.

But she never expected that today, she would actually enter Zhong Qing's Dharma Eye.
