Chapter 171 Time flies
Zhang Jingqing has passed away.
Metamorphosis, this is undoubtedly a wonderful word.
But for practitioners, the so-called ascension is the farewell of immortality, which is equivalent to what ordinary people call "passed away".
Jiang Liu was a little dazed when he heard the news.
He was actually already unfamiliar with the word death, because his soul was immersed in the inner universe, looking down on the lower world with God's vision.
The monsters there could easily have a lifespan of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
But he soon realized that although he was the supreme controller and the Emperor of Heaven who controlled everything in the inner universe, in this real world, he was still just a cultivator with a lifespan of only a few thousand years.
He is still far from becoming an immortal.
"Brother Si Chong."
Jiang Liu sighed and woke up from his trance.
"Junior brother! The old Heavenly Master is highly respected and has taken great care of our Sanyi Sect. It is reasonable and logical for us to go and see him off."
Said Si Chong.
"That's how it should be!"
Jiang Liu nodded.
He suddenly turned his head, and his spiritual sense radiated out quickly, instantly covering the two figures in the cave in the back mountain.
Li Muxuan was sitting cross-legged in cultivation. After concentrating on retreat, he was getting closer and closer to the foundation-building stage. The other figure was Zuo Rutong.
Compared to before, Zuo Rutong's body has changed significantly. He has become stronger and the old look on his face is fading away.
This is undoubtedly good news, and the most important point is that he is still alive and well.
"call!"
After letting out a long breath, Jiang Liu finally smiled.
"Are you worried about your brother?"
"Haha, he has already passed the most difficult stage. He just entered the foundation-building stage not long ago. His life span has greatly increased. The time God has given him has even more."
Si Chong saw what he meant and said with a smile.
"That's true."
Jiang Liu nodded and a smile appeared on his face.
"If I can enter the Golden Core Stage again, then you and I can rest easy!"
Si Chong nodded slightly: "Senior Brother will also go with us to the Tianshi Mansion this time."
"this is necessary."
Jiang Liu nodded.
The old Heavenly Master's passing away is undoubtedly a major event.
The Sanyi Sect quickly gathered its men and headed towards the Tianshi Mansion.
Lu Jin helped buy the tickets, and the group of about five or six people boarded the train in the evening.
"train."
"The world is developing so fast that an old guy like me can no longer understand it."
Zuo Rutong sat in the chair, looking at the scenery outside the window rapidly receding, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
He looked at the clothes and appearance of the people in the car again. They were completely different from what he remembered, making him feel even more like he had traveled through time.
"Haha, Brother, Brother, you two have been in seclusion for too long and have lost touch with the secular world!"
"Our country has changed a lot in recent years. Not long ago, we successfully tested and detonated our first atomic bomb!"
"It's really shocking, and it horrifies us."
"This atomic bomb can easily destroy a city or an island."
As Si Chong spoke, he was also filled with emotion.
The invention and improvement of thermal weapons made the abilities of the aliens seem weaker. Moreover, many aliens who were once powerful and strong were forced to integrate into the current world.
Because everyone knows that no one can compete with the increasingly developed thermal weapons.
"The atomic bomb."
"Is it the one that was dropped on Fuso during World War II?"
Zuo Rutong asked.
"Yes, that's the thing!"
Si Chong smiled.
"Has our country also figured it out?"
Zuo Rutong murmured.
Jiang Liu also withdrew his gaze from the window at this time, with a look of emotion on his face. In just over a decade, he felt that the world had changed dramatically. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's development was indeed too fast, so fast that it was hard for people to keep up.
But compared to Zuo Rutong, he is better.
Because, in his previous life, he was more receptive to the world where technology was developing rapidly and changing with each passing day.
"Now, telephones, computers, and televisions are almost universal!"
"In the future, I will also get some of the Trinity and let the younger generation do it."
"Otherwise, an old guy like me will be eliminated by the times!"
Si Chong said with a smile.
"You are keeping up with the times."
"But don't be too fond of playing and miss out on your practice."
Zuo Ruotong said.
"Brother, don't worry. As long as I don't practice this method randomly, I can live for a long time."
Si Chong smiled.
Zuo Rutong nodded.
He was the biggest beneficiary of the Changsheng Sutra, and he should have retired long ago and said goodbye to this wonderful world. But who could have thought that in the blink of an eye, his life span increased, as if he was living a second life.
Not to mention, looking at the scene inside the car and the scenery outside the window, he really felt like he was traveling through time and welcoming his rebirth.
Zuo Rutong couldn't help but smile.
But soon, his smile disappeared, revealing a hint of sadness.
"I'm still alive and well."
"But old friends do!"
Jiang Liu turned around and sighed to comfort him: "Old Heavenly Master, at this age, he has lived to this day, so he can be considered to have died of old age."
"He has become an immortal. Senior brother should be happy for him."
Zuo Ruotong nodded and said: "People like me who practice cultivation seek immortality, but we should also understand life and death clearly."
Then, there was silence.
Jiang Liu looked at his expression and guessed that he was probably remembering his old friend.
He was not sure of their exact ages, but he knew that his senior brother and the old Heavenly Master should be from the same generation and their ages were not much different.
They are all over a hundred years old.
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says that a normal person should live to be 150 years old. Although people today do not take good care of themselves, they should still live to be 120 years old.
However, the specific circumstances are different.
In fact, Jiang Liu could understand it.
This is because, when one practices the Longevity Sutra to the stage of building a foundation, one will have a minimum lifespan of 150 years. If one advances in practice, the lifespan can be increased further.
The Golden Elixir can live for 500 years, while the Nascent Soul can live for 1,500 years or more.
This is exactly why he said that the gap between immortals and humans is greater than that between humans and monkeys.
Speaking only of individuals, they are completely two different creatures in every aspect.
In a blink of an eye, the train arrived at Longhu Mountain.
The crowd reversed the car and headed towards the Tianshi Mansion.
Of course, all of this was done by the younger generation in the sect.
Among the team brought here, even the younger Lu Jin is now in his forties or fifties, which is middle-aged among ordinary people.
There were already young people of the next generation in the sect, and the smarter ones among them looked somewhat similar to Zhuge Dazui in appearance.
"Big mouth kid."
"Marriage is not allowed within the sect. Over the years, as the sect has recruited new members, we old guys are really old guys now."
Si Chong said with a smile.
Jiang Liu sighed.
Time is so merciless that in the blink of an eye, I have become an old man.
After several hours' journey, the group arrived at the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.
The person in charge of the welcoming ceremony was Zhang Zhiwei, who had just succeeded to the position of Heavenly Master.
When Zhang Zhiwei saw Zuo Rutong standing in the front row, his body trembled slightly, and for a moment he felt a lump in his throat.
"Chief Zuomen!"
