" The Great Qian flourished for a thousand years, but now it has perished in a single day. I fear the newly established dynasty will be extremely weak."
Hearing Fang Zelin talk about the Great Qian Dynasty, and seeing that the other party had a past with the royal family of the Great Qian Dynasty, Daoist Lü couldn't help but say something.
Speaking of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was clear that the other side was about to perish.
Even Daoist Lü felt a pang of regret.
After all, the copper coins in his hands were made using the resources of the Great Qian Dynasty.
From this day forward, no dynasty should be able to compare with the Great Qian Dynasty.
Therefore, this magical Law Treasure in his possession will be a unique item.
Throughout history, only the Great Qian Dynasty has been so powerful, able to awe all sides, become the number one Great Qian Dynasty, and stand for a thousand years.
After the fall of the Great Qian Dynasty, the newly established Great Qian Dynasty would inevitably not surpass it.
This is because recently, too many surrounding dynasties have been eyeing the Great Qian Dynasty with covetous intent.
After the fall of the Great Qian Dynasty, these other dynasties would not stand idly by; they would certainly seize the opportunity to take a bite out of the spoils.
Having been divided by surrounding dynasties and having gone through rounds of wars, the newly established dynasty was bound to be weak.
After briefly explaining the situation, Fang Zelin gained a basic understanding of the state of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Hearing this, he sighed and said, "Rise and fall are inevitable. The Great Qian Dynasty stood in the world for a thousand years, so its decline and demise are only natural."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Lü nodded in agreement, saying, "That's indeed the case."
"Immortal Master, the spirit rice is cooked."
As the group was talking, Tianxi came over carrying a steamer basket.
Thick steam was still rising from the steamer, filling the air with a delicious aroma.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin immediately called out to Daoist Lü's apprentice.
When the steamer is opened, you can see steaming hot rice inside, each grain appearing crystal clear and extremely plump.
The aroma emanates from these spirit rice grains.
The boys standing nearby couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight.
While following his master in his spiritual practice meant he didn't go hungry for three days straight, he certainly didn't get to eat anything good on a regular basis.
Occasionally, one might encounter evil spirits or mischievous demons.
My master handled these matters himself and didn't charge much money.
They generally don't make money this way, even if a wealthy family offers them a lot of money.
But his master would immediately distribute the money to other poor families.
They say things like, "Those who cultivate the Tao cannot use this path to make money."
They usually eat mostly steamed buns and pickled vegetables, which is considered quite good.
Like the delicious food and drinks at restaurants, you might be able to enjoy them once a month.
The rice in front of him looked like just rice, but its aroma was far superior to any food or drink he had ever had in any restaurant before.
Most importantly, as he looked at the spiritual rice in front of him, he could vaguely sense the surge of his own Law Power.
"No need to look at your master. Since you, fellow Daoist, have brought this spirit rice to entertain you, please eat it."
Seeing the look in his disciple's eyes, Daoist Lü chuckled and said...
Hearing his master's words, the boy picked up a ball of rice and took a big bite. He could clearly feel each grain of rice being chewed apart in his mouth.
The boy's eyes widened, and he took another big bite.
I just felt that all my previous ascetic practices were really too painful.
"Master, is it this hard to cultivate with you? Are other Daoist Sect and similar paths of cultivation all this blissful?"
For the child at this moment, if she could only eat this one meal of spiritual rice every day, she would feel extremely happy, and her cultivation would not feel like a hardship.
Seeing how much food Immortal Elder Fang casually offered her, she couldn't help but fantasize about how wonderful it would be to cultivate by his side.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Lü looked at his disciple's pitiful expression and couldn't help but laugh and scold him.
"You little brat, what are you thinking? Even the food you're eating right now is unique to this place among all the immortal sects. Even other Daoist Sect don't have it, understand?"
How could Daoist Lü not know what his disciple was thinking?
Having been by my side for so long, and not having eaten very well on a regular basis, the contrast is quite stark when I taste such a spiritual food.
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, the boy nodded blankly, but continued to eat the spirit rice ball in front of him with gusto.
While eating, he kept glancing at the steamer in front of him, wondering if all the leftovers were for him, and whether it would be enough.
Tianxi seemed to have sensed what the other person was thinking, and smiled gently.
"There's still some in the steamer over there, feel free to eat. If there's any left, we can use it to brew wine later."
"Thank you, senior sister!"
Upon hearing this, the boy's eyes immediately lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly at the other person.
Upon hearing this, Tianxi's eyes curved into a smile. She secretly glanced at the immortal, and seeing that he did not object to the title, she felt even more delighted.
Looking at the boy in front of him, his expression became even more benevolent.
"Come on, there are actually other ways to cook this spirit rice after it's steamed, and the taste will be completely different. Let me make it for you to try."
Having said that, he led the boy to the stove and began to prepare other dishes for the other person.
Seeing this, Daoist Lü couldn't help but smile helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, if you do this, my disciple's mouth will get spoiled, and he'll be difficult to manage in the future."
Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about him.
After taking a sip of Fellow Daoist Fang Fang's fine wine, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink any other alcoholic beverages in the future.
If he's like this, imagine what his apprentices are like.
His future disciples will likely find their spiritual practice increasingly arduous.
Fang Zelin smiled nonchalantly upon hearing this, "In that case, it can also be considered a form of cultivation, don't you think, fellow Daoist?"
As they spoke, they poured each other a glass of fine wine.
Daoist Lü stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and agreed with Fellow Daoist Fang.
Developing one's resilience is indeed a form of self-cultivation.
For cultivators, perseverance is still extremely important.
The group chatted idly, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
After chatting for a while, Fang Zelin changed the subject and asked about something else.
"By the way, I broke through the Devil Race's formation earlier and should have seized some of the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune. After that fortune came back, did anything unusual happen?"
Previously, due to his own demonic energy, Fang Zelin had no time to be distracted.
The matter has been resolved, and there's no external interference to worry about for the time being.
Fang Zelin was curious to know what had happened after the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune returned.
Upon hearing Fang Zelin ask about this, Yunzi immediately sat up straight.
"After the return of the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune, the impact on ordinary disciples is the greatest. According to many disciples, the Great Dao, which they previously found extremely difficult to perceive, is now much clearer."
"In addition, some newly initiated disciples have also found that their enlightenment time is much shorter than before, and their cultivation is much simpler."
"Furthermore, according to some fellow Daoists' speculations, lifespan increases by about fifty years after enlightenment."
"In the past, a single enlightenment would add about a hundred years to one's lifespan, but now it adds one hundred and fifty years, and the amount of Spiritual Power that can be mobilized has also increased considerably."
Yunzi recounted all the information she had gathered over the past few days.
Fang Zelin sat to the side listening attentively, and when he heard Yunzi mention the matter of extending lifespan, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Then it dawned on me.
Over the years, as Fang Zelin skills have improved, he has also gained a better understanding of himself.
For example, Fang Zelin could vaguely sense how many years he had left to live.
Basically, most powerful cultivators will have this feeling.
When one's lifespan is nearing its end, one will know that their time is up.
However, over the years, Fang Zelin was unaware that entering the Seeking Dao Mountain could extend one's lifespan.
Now that Yunzi has said this, Fang Zelin suddenly understands.
It turns out that entering the Seeking Dao Mountain can increase one's lifespan.
Fang Zelin pondered for a moment why he had only just learned about this.
His cultivation actually increased several hundred years ago, when Fang Zelin spent hundreds of years cultivating and refining his skills.
Only then did he acquire his full level of Daoist skills.
By that time, Fang Zelin had already entered the Seeking Dao Mountain countless times.
It's estimated that by the time he had gained some spiritual power, he had already lived for about ten thousand years.
After gaining some cultivation, he was able to sense that he had a long lifespan.
After entering the Seeking Dao Mountain, each time one's lifespan was increased by only a hundred years, which was far too little compared to ten thousand years.
So such growth was far too little, so little that Fang Zelin didn't even notice it.
Therefore, even after gaining some cultivation, Fang Zelin was unable to sense the feeling of increased lifespan.
"Speaking of this, fellow Daoist, your lifespan must already be long enough to last forever, right?"
Yunzi paused slightly at this point, then asked with a hint of curiosity.
She was genuinely curious about Fang Zelin's lifespan.
You should know that all those Daoist scrolls were written by Fellow Daoist Fang.
The fact that Fellow Daoist Fang was able to write those Daoist texts demonstrates his profound understanding of Daoist principles.
Fellow Daoist Fang must have entered the Seeking Dao Mountain an extremely terrifying number of times.
Furthermore, as one's cultivation deepens, one's lifespan will also increase.
With Fellow Daoist Fang Fang's current level of cultivation and the years of practice he has accumulated, his lifespan is naturally terrifying.
Fang Zelin listened to Yunzi's question, thought carefully for a moment, and then shook his head.
"To be honest, I've lost count of how many times I've entered the Seeking Dao Mountain, and as for lifespan, I haven't reached the point of immortality yet."
His lifespan is now estimated to be several hundred thousand years.
However, this was just a vague feeling in Fang Zelin's mind, and there might be slight discrepancies in the specifics.
However, in reality, it shouldn't be too different.
Even if there is a difference, it should be more significant.
After all, Fang Zelin was underestimating the situation.
"Hundreds of thousands of years?"
Although Yunzi vaguely knew that Fellow Daoist Fang had not yet reached the point of immortality.
However, hearing "hundreds of thousands of years" still startled me.
Although it's not immortality, considering the span of hundreds of thousands of years, Fellow Daoist Fang is already very close to immortality!
Because in these hundreds of thousands of years, Fellow Daoist Fang only needs to focus on cultivation, and it should be very easy for him to comprehend the Great Dao and ascend to immortality in the future.
"Fellow Daoist, your lifespan is truly astonishing!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Lü couldn't help but sigh.
After carefully assessing his current lifespan, Daoist Lü felt somewhat out of place.
"Both of you fellow cultivators, your future cultivation prospects will not be lower than mine. Now that the Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune have returned, your path of cultivation is much smoother."
According to Yunzi, everyone's path of cultivation will be much simpler in the future.
If that's the case, then Daoist Lü and Yunzi's future fortunes will naturally be quite good.
The fact that the two of them were able to cultivate to this point under those previous cultivation environments indicates that their aptitude was not too bad.
Now that my luck is good and my cultivation path is much smoother, my lifespan will naturally increase.
Both of them shook their heads and smiled upon hearing Fang Zelin's words.
Since they are unaware of their own affairs, their future path of cultivation will naturally be much simpler.
However, reaching the level of Fellow Daoist Fang would be very difficult.
Hundreds of thousands of years!
After just a moment's thought, both of them felt immense pressure.
"Fellow Daoist, since you have such a long lifespan, you must always prioritize your own safety. If you encounter any Devil Race again and cannot defeat them, then run away."
"As the saying goes, 'Where there's life, there's hope.' As long as you're here, even if we can't defeat them now, wait hundreds of thousands of years. When Fang Zelin goes to fight those Devil Race then, won't they be at your Devil Race?"
After pondering for a moment, Yunzi offered her opinion to Fang Zelin.
With Fellow Daoist Fang Fang's current strength, he certainly wouldn't need to put himself in danger if he encountered those Devil Race.
If he can simply preserve himself, he will have a chance to stand at the pinnacle of the immortal sects.
Even if other immortal sects are destroyed, if Fellow Daoist Fang is needed, we can still rely on Fellow Daoist Fang to rebuild them.
But if Fellow Daoist Fang were to perish, and all the other immortal sects were to be destroyed, then it would truly be an annihilation.
Looking at all the people in the immortal sect, only Fellow Daoist Fang is capable of shouldering the responsibility of leading the sect.
The requirement is that the Immortal Sect will not perish; as long as Fellow Daoist Fang is alive, the Immortal Sect will exist.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Lü nodded repeatedly, agreeing with his assessment.
Currently, the strength of the Devil Race race is unclear; we do not yet know exactly how strong Devil Race are.
No Devil Race were seen coming here to fight or battle.
It seems that the other party is somewhat wary of Fellow Daoist Fang after their previous duel.
But it's unclear how long this apprehension will last.
But it seems there will always be a battle in the future, and no one can predict how things will turn out.
If you are unable to defeat the Devil Race race, then it would be best for Fellow Daoist Fang to withdraw from the battle and focus on cultivation.
Given enough time, what if the Devil Race Fellow Daoist Fang the fortune?
One Fellow Daoist Fang with a unique ability is worth more than countless strokes of luck.
That way, they can know that Devil Race is not something that can be defied by fate.
But it is Fellow Daoist Fang.
No, Fellow Daoist Fang is not defying the heavens, but simply following the heavens.
After all, Fellow Daoist Fang was protecting the Dao; how could that be considered defying the heavens?
