Chapter 683: Chapter 417 Longevity Law_1
“Hurry and open the Saint Emperor’s Book of Legacy, to see the methods of increasing lifespan. Now that everyone has come out, you’re not planning to slip away, are you?”
Wexler Daoist and his group were impatient, their gazes all focused on Holy Daoist. Their lifespans were dwindling, and they urgently needed methods to extend their lives.
Holy Daoist opened the book and in an instant flipped to the page on increasing lifespan, which quite shocked him; the book could actually do this.
“The book says, there are about a dozen methods for Strong Ones beneath the Sanctuary Powerhouse to increase their lifespan. But once one reaches the Sanctuary Powerhouse, even Saint Emperor Powerhouses only know of three.”
“The first method is breaking through realms. As long as one cultivates to the Saint Emperor, they can increase their lifespan by ten thousand years, thus naturally resolving the issue of an expiring lifespan.”
“The second method is to create a Dharma device that manipulates flow rate, allowing time to pass differently. Even if you only have one year left to live, you could feel as if you lived ten thousand years, giving you a great deal of time to break through realms.”
Upon hearing about the second device, Logan immediately thought of the Beast King’s Qian Kun Bead, which had a hundredfold flow rate, but it had been taken by the Mountain Saint Taoist. Now that half a year had passed, Logan thought that if he encountered the bead again, he must take it back.
The others shook their heads. The first method was simply unfeasible. They had been cultivating the entire time they were trapped in the Ancient Secret Realm, where the Spiritual Energy was much more abundant than the outside. However, being stuck in the Sanctuary Powerhouse Realm and trying to break through to Saint Emperor was extremely difficult, almost a one in a hundred chance.
As for the second method, it was possible for several dozen Sanctuary Powerhouses to build a Dharma device together, but who would be willing to consume vast amounts of their life force for it? After all, it would mean making wedding clothes for others, and these Sanctuary Powerhouses all came from different forces, making cooperation nearly negligible.
So, the group could only listen to the third method, their hearts becoming uneasy. They could only hope Holy Daoist would provide a reliable method. If it was like the previous two, wouldn’t it be sending them to their deaths? After all, they had already known about these methods before.
“The third method is to refine Holy Life Elixirs. One Holy Life Elixir can increase lifespan by a hundred years. Of course, a Sanctuary Powerhouse can only take one, as more would lead to a backlash from the Great Law, even suppression by the Heavenly Dao.”
As soon as Holy Daoist spoke these words, everyone’s eyes lit up as they inquired, “How do you refine the Holy Life Elixir? Hurry and tell us, so we all can go search for the materials.”
“The Holy Life Elixir needs a hundred different medicinal herbs in total, a hundred-year portion of Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, a thousand-year-old Human Ginseng Spirit, as well as the Cloud Rock Tree from the Eastern Sea, the Heavenly Moon Flower from the Central Region…”
Holy Daoist recounted all the ingredients in one breath, which made everyone fret. Every single ingredient was extremely rare in the Ancient World, being fortunate enough to obtain one was already lucky; now they needed a hundred different herbs, which indeed was a headache.
However difficult it may be, they vowed to obtain them. The thought of extending their lifespan by a hundred years set their hearts ablaze. A hundred years might just be enough time to break through to Saint Emperor. For those whose oil was spent and lamps burnt out, they had to make an all-out effort.
“However, there are two difficulties. The first one is the Immortal Fruit, which is the core of the Holy Life Elixir, only available in the Immortal Realm, where many Powerhouses reside. Even though we have reached the Sanctuary Powerhouse, we still might not return unscathed.”
Holy Daoist frowned, and everyone’s faces changed upon hearing this. To obtain the Immortal Fruit? A misstep could mean perishing in the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm was located above the Eastern Territory, a concealed, small world of cultivation, not appearing in public. It’s said that the Spiritual Energy and the Laws there are the most intact, so the cultivation realms of the cultivators there are very high. Even the most ordinary Human there might be in the Throne Realm.
Most elites reached Semi-Saint, and even Sanctuary Powerhouse were in the hundreds. They had always looked down upon cultivators from the outside, and were extremely hostile towards outsiders venturing into the Immortal Realm, often slaying those of lower realms.
Having broken through to Sanctuary Powerhouse themselves, they too had once visited the Immortal Realm. It was only by relying on their Sanctuary Powerhouse strength that they managed to make a narrow escape.
The mention of going to the Immortal Realm made the dozens of them timid. “Isn’t there an alternative? If it were an ordinary time, if we all visit the Immortal Realm together, our combined strength would be great, and they wouldn’t dare turn against us. But now, we have only one-tenth of our strength!”
Their light was already fading, and every major battle now was at the expense of their lifespan, so they were reluctant to take action lightly, naturally not wanting to seek the Immortal Fruit.
“No, the Immortal Fruit is a must; the other ingredients are just auxiliary. Only the Immortal Fruit is the core!” Holy Daoist replied with a wry smile and shook his head.
“Having dozens of us go together would be too conspicuous. The people of the Immortal Realm would definitely think we have ulterior motives. Let’s select one person to quietly make a trip to the Immortal Realm. And I think Holy Daoist is most suitable, given that your lifespan is the longest. Should a fight break out, you wouldn’t need to burn life force.”
After considering for a moment, Wexler Daoist cast his gaze on Holy Daoist. “Of course, if you’re unwilling, that’s fine; just hand over the Book of Legacy, and we will send someone else!”
“I can make the trip!” Having already obtained the Book of Legacy, Holy Daoist was naturally not willing to relinquish it, nor did he want to antagonize these dozens of people. He too needed to increase his lifespan.
He too had visited the Immortal Realm in the past. Although he clashed with quite a few people, he also made some friends. Consequently, he thought it might be relatively easier for him.
