Hearing Li Niansheng’s words, Chen Changsheng put down the book in his hand.
He was among the crowd when the Immortal Fate test was conducted; he just returned a step earlier than her.
Looking at Li Niansheng, who lowered her head and dared not look at him, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, “Do you really want to go?”
“Yes.”
“For what?”
Hearing this, Li Niansheng’s hands tightened involuntarily, then she softly said, “For Changsheng.”
These four words floated lightly from Li Niansheng’s mouth, but they weighed a thousand pounds.
Because only by attaining Changsheng can one forever accompany “Changsheng”.
Looking at Li Niansheng’s stubborn appearance, Chen Changsheng could not help but smile, then came before her.
“Many people in this world have transformed from Mortals into Immortals, but no Immortal has ever transformed into a Mortal.”
“This clearly shows that the path to Changsheng is a road of no return. If one day you get tired of walking,”
“Just look back, Brother Changsheng will always be behind you.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng gave Li Niansheng a big hug.
However, during the hug, Chen Changsheng quickly whispered in an extremely low tone.
“Cultivation is a place that devours people whole. One must always be wary of others.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng smiled and released Li Niansheng.
“Oh my! An Immortal gracing my humble abode truly brings glory to my humble dwelling!”
Chen Changsheng bowed obsequiously to the woman at the door, acting no different from the town’s residents.
However, facing Chen Changsheng’s fawning, the woman at the door showed a hint of disdain.
She never expected that such a Genius’s background would actually be an unlucky coffin shop.
“This girl has Immortal fate; her future prospects are limitless.”
Although she disliked Chen Changsheng greatly, to recruit a Disciple of exceptional talent, the woman still gave a simple, perfunctory reply.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s smile became even brighter.
“All of this is thanks to the Immortal’s Wisdom Eye. Nian Sheng has been mischievous since she was little, so I will have to trouble the Immortal to take care of her from now on.”
“By the way, may I ask where the Immortal’s Immortal mountain is located?”
“If I have time, I would like to pay a visit.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the impatience in the woman’s eyes grew stronger.
“There is a Sect named Linglong Sect ten thousand li to the south. An ordinary person might not reach it even in thirty years.”
“If you wish to come, then come.”
After speaking, the woman looked at Li Niansheng and said, “I have a mission this time, so we need to leave quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Li Niansheng gently put down her bundle.
“Brother Changsheng, I will remember your words, and I will definitely come to find you.”
After speaking, Li Niansheng followed the woman and left.
After the two left, Chen Changsheng cleaned the room with a joyful expression, occasionally speaking some happy words.
An hour later, Chen Changsheng suddenly became serious and said coldly, “You’ve been hiding for so long, come out.”
Chen Changsheng’s voice echoed in the coffin shop, but besides the cold coffins, there was nothing else in the shop.
“Still not coming out? Are you waiting for me to invite you out?”
Chen Changsheng said again with a cold face. After waiting for a long time and receiving no response, he finally let out a sigh of relief and said.
“It seems that old woman really left.”
“Being able to fly is so impressive, huh?!”
“This young master can still fly after sleeping for a thousand or eight hundred years. You’d best not harbor any ill intentions towards Nian Sheng, or else this young master will dig up all your ancestral graves.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng directly put the coffins in the shop and the bundle Li Niansheng left behind into the System space.
He had stayed here for eight years, and his appearance had not changed at all in those eight years.
This matter had already started rumors in the town, and if he continued to stay, it would no longer be explainable by merely saying he took good care of himself.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng strode out of the coffin shop where he had stayed for eight years.
“If I can’t walk there in thirty years, can’t this young master walk for fifty years?”
“I have nothing in abundance except time.”
After complaining about that woman again, Chen Changsheng disappeared at the end of the street.
Chen Changsheng disappeared, and the small town discussed his whereabouts for a long time.
Some said that Chen Changsheng had achieved the Dao, and even his chickens and dogs ascended to the heavens; the Immortal valued Li Niansheng, so out of love for her, she also took Chen Changsheng away.
Others said that Chen Changsheng had a conflict with the Immortal and was then killed by the Immortal.
In short, there were all sorts of theories, but as time passed, everyone gradually forgot about Chen Changsheng.
......
“Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul......”
Chen Changsheng lay on a patch of grass, flipping through a tattered book.
This was already the twentieth year since he left that small town.
Chen Changsheng had naturally examined the contents of the bundle Nian Sheng left behind.
There wasn't much inside, just a Cultivation Technique, a Medicinal Pill, and some gold and silver.
The content of the Cultivation Technique was very simple, even rudimentary.
It generally introduced the Realms of Cultivation and then included the Cultivation Technique for the Qi Refining Realm.
When he first got this item, Chen Changsheng naturally treasured it as if it were a priceless treasure.
After all, this was a Cultivation Technique!
Learning these things would mean he wouldn't have to go through a long period of slumber to fly through the sky and escape underground.
However, as Chen Changsheng witnessed the vastness of the world, he realized how trash the item in his hand was.
In the Cultivation World, only by reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm could one truly be considered to have embarked on the path to Changsheng.
Moreover, the Cultivators in this world were not as rare as he had imagined.
The reason he had never seen Cultivators was entirely because the place Chen Changsheng lived was too remote.
And the Qi Refining Cultivation Technique in his hand was completely common goods in the Jianghu.
While not exactly ubiquitous, one could still buy one or two copies for a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng sat up and threw the Cultivation Technique in his hand into the bonfire.
For these twenty years, he had read this Cultivation Technique every day; Chen Changsheng could already recite every word on it backward.
“System, it says here that someone who can reach Qi Refining first layer within three days is a Genius.”
“Someone who can reach Qi Refining first layer within one day is a top-tier Genius.”
“Someone who can reach Qi Refining first layer within one hour is a Genius rarely seen in a hundred years.”
“Then what level am I, who took twenty years to reach Qi Refining first layer?”
“Host, Realm is just one standard for measuring strength, but not the only standard.”
“Cultivation Technique is just one means of becoming stronger, but not the only means.”
“This era’s cultivation System is not suitable for the Host, but that does not mean the cultivation System of the next era will also not be suitable for the Host.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s eyes lit up.
“System, what does ‘next era’ mean?”
“There is no Imperial Dynasty that does not fall, and the Cultivation World is the same.”
“The reason why sentient beings believe certain things will exist forever is simply because their existence is too fleeting.”
