Gao Linzhi's Immortality, Breaking the Limits!

The headmaster smiled upon hearing this.

The old woman nodded. "Very good, you made the right choice."

Some choose power, some choose to hide.

"Only Immortality is the strongest method."

"Nothing can withstand the test of time. No matter how wise and powerful you are, no matter how prosperous your dynasty is, in the end, time will wash it away and render it worthless."

"To achieve Immortality, one can abandon everything; what's so scary about turning into stone?"

"Stones can stand for millions of years."

Gao Linzhi agreed in his heart.

Sun Wukong's Daoist heart emerged because he wanted to achieve Immortality.

He suddenly asked, "Headmaster, since you've lived for so long..."

"Then why are you still so determined to overthrow the Sky Wolf Dynasty?"

"Logically speaking, shouldn't dynasties be insignificant ants in your eyes?"

"No matter how dynasties rise and fall, isn't that irrelevant to those Longevity Being?"

The headmaster immediately smiled.

She looked at Gao Linzhi and said seriously, "Young friend, do you think a long-lasting, unified dynasty poses a greater threat to Longevity Being like us?"

"Or is a war-torn, weakened dynasty a greater threat to us?"

She made no attempt to conceal her identity, stating directly that she Longevity Being.

This was clearly because Gao Linzhi's performance had earned her approval.

Moreover, she wanted to believe that even without her, Gao Linzhi would still have a way to achieve Immortality.

In that case, why not bring them into our camp?

Upon hearing Gao Linzhi immediately realized his mistake.

Yes, that's exactly right.

Just like the world he traveled to before, it was the same dynasty, so don't even mention developing Longevity Technique.

Even if you have some ordinary or unusual technology, the royal family will take it away from you, eventually causing everyone to lose the will to bother researching it.

As a result, technological development has been slow, even though a very good foundation was laid early on.

After a hundred schools of thought contend, there comes a period of utter silence.

After all, even if you do the research, it's not your own.

Gao Linzhi nodded. "That's right. For Longevity Being, a unified feudal dynasty is undoubtedly terrifying."

"Without extraordinary powers, just being a registered commoner can force someone to survive in the wild."

"That's right. We Longevity Being must plan ahead and consider all sorts of situations." The headmaster nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems you're a smart person too, so let's use the words of a smart person."

"Since you also desire Immortality, I don't actually object to having a few more Longevity Being in the world."

"Of course, I don't want the world to be full of Longevity Being either."

"Anything in excess will curl up."

"Those Longevity Being are rare, so people cherish each other. But if there are too many, they will fight each other for fame, fortune, power, and the ability to control others."

"It's like in places where labor is scarce; people will cherish it, pay Engineer Gao, and use machines to replace workers."

"Places with too much labor cannot develop industry."

Gao Linzhi nodded again.

The wisdom of these Longevity Being is truly remarkable.

The headmaster continued, "Therefore, for our safety, you must understand that the Immortality I bestow upon you cannot be passed on to anyone else."

"Because you must use the Seed of Immortality you obtained from me to learn this Petrification Technique."

"Petrify the original body, and then attach your thoughts and soul to the puppet to act."

Upon hearing this, Gao Linzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

This seed of Immortality seems to be similar to a switch, or rather, an ignition device for Immortality.

Without it, I cannot learn the petrification spell.

Similarly, even if you learn it yourself, you can't pass it on to others.

Because I haven't learned how to manufacture an ignition device.

"Very good, now I will begin teaching you the Petrification Method."

"This method is divided into three parts."

"These Heart Transforms into Stone, Spirit Transforms into Stone, Body Transforms into Stone."

"Now, today I will teach you the first part: Heart Transforms into Stone."

"The first thing is to harden your heart and ensure that your emotions remain stable at all times."

"It is well known that people with stable emotions tend to live longer."

"A common characteristic of long-lived people is that they have a relaxed attitude towards emotions, rarely experience extreme highs and lows, and rarely get suddenly angry."

"I'll give you the second and third parts after you've completed the later tasks."

Gao Linzhi nodded.

This is standard practice.

Of course, the other party wouldn't give it all to him at once.

This is like dangling yourself with a carrot.

The other party needs him to do things for her, to stir up trouble for the Sky Wolf Dynasty.

The enduring prosperity of the Sky Wolf Dynasty will directly impact the interests of these Longevity Being.

Because the current dynasty is desperately searching for all sorts of things that Immortality.

The case of the "Longevity Water" is a prime example.

Gao Linzhi now understood why the Daoist Academy would rebel if it had the conditions, and would create the conditions to rebel even if it didn't.

Their goal was simple: to weaken the power of the Sky Wolf Dynasty and prevent Sky Wolf Dynasty people from finding her and seizing her Immortality.

The other party can deal with Rogue Players like myself, and put up a portion of their chips for the transaction.

They would absolutely not deal with the imperial court or hand over the secret to Immortality.

That's because Gao Linzhi is difficult to threaten or control.

But the imperial court was a different story.

Those who know, know.

The only means and idea of feudal dynasties to obtain the best things was to control them.

This alone determines that this Longevity Being will absolutely not cooperate with the imperial court.

Which Longevity Being wouldn't want a carefree life?

Who wants to be controlled and have their life taken away at any moment?

Just think about it and you'll know it's impossible.

Only individuals with relatively short lifespans are willing to pay these prices and take these risks in exchange for the protection of the imperial court.

Why would the other person tell me that?

It's probably because the headmaster saw through his own true nature.

The headmaster realized that Gao Linzhi only wanted Immortality and had no intention of scheming against anyone.

Of course, the other party might just be using him as a pawn.

However, as long as one can Immortality, being a pawn is no big deal.

What people fear most is that no one wants to take advantage of them.

In this world, there are actually quite a few ways to achieve longevity.

Just like plants in real society.

Many plants, and some animals, actually have very long lifespans.

They don't have short lifespans like humans.

Of course, for humans, living for a hundred years is a long time, but for many animals as well.

Many animals only live for a few years.

Gao Linzhi was naturally wary.

He also needs to be wary of the other party having ulterior motives.

After all, they are not related by blood or marriage, and the other party would not be kind to them for no reason.

He doesn't see himself as the protagonist of the story, free to act recklessly.

The other party can help him without asking for anything in return.

It's very likely that the other party will only give you a small taste of the benefits, and in the end, you won't actually obtain the secret to Immortality.

They will only be used by the other side to torment the Sky Wolf Dynasty.

Gao Linzhi believes that this is what adults do.

There are many people who don't repay their debts, let alone something as significant as Immortality.

The other party also made it clear that they did not want too many Longevity Being.

If there are too many, Immortality will become rare, and people will easily kill each other.

That's true.

Soon Gao Linzhi began to study under the headmaster.

They studied right here in the snow and ice.

Gao Linzhi sat atop a high glacier.

You must achieve a state of perfect inner peace.

"This is the first step."

"All things are nothingness."

The abbot said, "Only by understanding the state of mind of a stone can one achieve Immortality."

"Those who are restless and impetuous will not Immortality."

"But one must also be able to control this state of mind, so as not to become weary of the world."

And at this time...

The game also displayed a prompt.

"Ding! Congratulations, player, you are learning the Top-tier Red Rank Skill: Longevity Technique."

"All your current skills, especially those related to Immortality, will be integrated and mastered."

"Once the integration is successful, it will be unified into Beginner Longevity Technique."

"Physical and mental states will directly reach new heights."

That's more like it.

Gao Linzhi was very satisfied with this.

His skill data panel was already so numerous that he couldn't even look at it anymore.

At first glance, it was a complete mess.

Magical spells, physical skills, and those that combine both.

In order to improve his physical fitness, he learned from everyone he met, until he finally learned to the point where he had nothing left to say.

If it were anyone else, they would have already considered it a useless account.

Since skill slots are limited, they must be used in conjunction with class level.

However, his skill slots can be upgraded by spending real money, so there's no need to worry about that.

As he studied, Gao Linzhi could see with his own eyes that these skills were gradually merging together.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it mainly involved physical skills.

Defense, Melee Combat, stealth...

Skills related to physical fitness are increasing rapidly.

The Game System is also providing a notification:

"Your skills are being merged..."

"It is expected that the merger will greatly improve physical fitness."

"Your physical abilities will break through the first limit."

"How much exactly?" Gao Linzhi couldn't help but ask.

"Preliminary estimates suggest that both mental and physical fitness will surpass 2000."

Only just broke two thousand?

Gao Linzhi took a deep breath, but it wasn't bad.

His physical fitness score was originally over 1000 and his mental fitness score was over 600, but now it has exceeded 2000, which means he has made a huge profit.

It's normal to have a high level of mental well-being.

After all, what the other party imparted to him was indeed an attainment in the spiritual realm.

That's impressive.

The headmaster was clearly unaware that she was actually holding back.

However, under the power of the Game System, the knowledge she provided is acting as an entry point, and more mysteries are being rapidly squeezed out by the Game System and integrated into the game skills.

She thought she had only taught some basic knowledge.

Little did they know that this represented a massive breakthrough for the Game System, going from zero to one.

Just like artificial intelligence, when the first generation of dogs appears, humans will still have the ability to fight back.

A victory.

However, if the iterations continue, humanity will have absolutely no chance of winning.

Now, Gao Linzhi's two attributes can both reach 2000, which is undoubtedly a leap forward.

Gao Linzhi naturally studied even more diligently.

At the same time.

He discovered that the Longevity Technique the other party mentioned did indeed include a complete set of methods.

Both mentally and physically, things have stagnated.

Only the soul and spirit remain active.

Their consumption is then provided by puppets and others.

This is not as simple as petrifying the body.

It requires Gao Linzhi to adjust his body to the level of all things in heaven and earth.

The so-called petrification is actually the ancient people here who borrowed the abilities of reptiles.

Most reptiles have the ability to hibernate.

For example, snakes, turtles, and crocodiles.

The people here are very intelligent.

They learned to control their metabolism by imitating the abilities of reptiles.

Of course, this is based on extraordinary abilities.

The same applies to the development of science in modern society.

Many discoveries can be made by mimicking the abilities of reptiles and cold-blooded animals.

Relative to their size, reptiles often have long lifespans.

For example, some species of turtles can live for over 300 years.

This is something that humans do not possess.

Despite their similar size, many reptiles have actually lived longer due to millions of years of evolution and selection.

Most importantly, they can slow down the heart rate and metabolism, thereby significantly reducing the rate of organ aging.

They can stop their own bodies from functioning.

The reason they cannot live longer is actually because they lack food and have many natural enemies.

Although the body stops functioning, it can still suffer other damage.

At the same time.

While Gao Linzhi rapid progress, others were also working on their projects.

They are rapidly seizing their own benefits amidst the conflict between the imperial court, local forces, and the Daoist Academy.

Everyone is making their own choices.

Should they follow the imperial court, local powers, or the Daoist Academy?

Ultimately, they are all players.

Ultimately, you have to listen to the Game System.

To gain more benefits, the competition among players has obviously become more intense.

This competition is spreading from online to offline.

The land of Xu City.

The United Association has arrived and established a permanent base in Xu City.

Because they knew there was a big shot here.

Of course, their feelings towards Gao Linzhi are complicated right now.

First, the rise of the other side proves the complete failure and bankruptcy of their previous suppression strategy.

They had no choice but to resort to a strategy of appeasement.

However, neither the strategy of winning them over nor the strategy of binding them together could get a response from them. Fortunately, they did not cause any trouble.

However, the existence of this ticking time bomb still made them very uneasy.

What if one day the other party has had enough of living, and their power is enough to destroy the entire planet?

In the past, the strength of an individual was not enough to destroy many.

At most, it will cause some localized casualties.

But things are different now.

Introducing one anomaly can destroy the entire world.

And at this time...

A group of people are discussing something in an office.

"Now it seems that Gao Linzhi is actively pursuing Immortality."

"The mindset of such Immortality people is quite easy to grasp."

"Then we must find a way to achieve Immortality, binding him to the fate of all humanity and the planet."

This group has made a complete 180-degree turn.

When they found it difficult to deal with Gao Linzhi, or that the cost of dealing with him was too high, they thought of using Immortality to bind him to Gao Linzhi.

At this moment, someone spoke up:

"I do know of an Incense Longevity Path '."

"The soul is preserved through offerings."

"As long as humanity exists, he will live."

"In that case, if everyone worships him, he will gain Immortality. Since he gains Immortality, he will not destroy the world."

"Moreover, for his own safety, he will also actively protect the world."

Now, in their eyes, Gao Linzhi is already the big boss.

It's just a pity that this guy is too much of a scoundrel, making him uncontrollable.

Since we can't control it, we need to find other ways to connect and bind ourselves to it.
