Chapter 640: Chapter 345 “Ten Million Years Later” and “Cultivation of Longevity Accomplished” (Please Subscribe)_2

As for the rest, perhaps one can only rely on that profound and mysterious fate.

Within the Black Moon Sect, the number of disciples amounts to hundreds of millions, yet there are only tens of thousands who have become direct disciples that have achieved the Loose Immortal Realm of Slashing Longevity.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s one in a hundred thousand.

Even Milton Cheney, with all his confidence, would not be so presumptuous to believe he was definitely one of those hundred thousand.

That wouldn’t be confidence, that would be arrogance.

Within the Gray Earth World, Milton Cheney still sits cross-legged in meditation.

At this moment, his eyes are tightly closed as he silently transforms the longevity from the red light cluster surrounding him into nutrient for his cultivation path.

At this moment, Milton Cheney’s heart is devoid of any stray thoughts.

In fact, ever since Milton Cheney arrived here to formally begin the Longevity Immortal Path, Steward Zuan had only visited once while preparing the longevity nutrient for him.

This disciple of the Black Moon Sect’s Steward’s Hall is not as idle as Milton had imagined.

Because no matter where one is, there’s always a need to ‘compete’.

Steward Zuan was merely investing in him and naturally wouldn’t treat him as dearly as a parent.

Milton had anticipated this; he didn’t need Steward Zuan to dote on him.

Milton had actually realized that what Steward Zuan was doing was mostly offering him empty promises.

Yes, empty promises.

While Steward Zuan talked grandly, the actual resources invested in Milton at this stage were minimal.

The investment compared to the expected returns from the contract with the Heavenly Path is a difference of hundreds of thousands of times.

This could be said to be Steward Zuan’s overt scheme.

However, although the face Steward Zuan showed was not quite consistent with what he had initially said, it didn’t bother Milton in the slightest.

Because he couldn’t possibly be at a loss.

In Steward Zuan’s eyes, the contract with the Heavenly Path, which was customized at great cost, was undoubtedly very beneficial to him.

Because even if Milton Cheney ultimately couldn’t become an Immortal and remained at the Slashing Longevity Realm, he would still gain an additional arm.

Of course, it would be better if he could become an Immortal.

But in Milton Cheney’s eyes, the contract with the Heavenly Path, which was customized at great cost by Steward Zuan, had no downsides for him.

Because from the very beginning, their thoughts were not the same.

Steward Zuan was thinking of Milton Cheney nurturing him back, should he become an Immortal.

But what Milton Cheney thought was that it would be enough for him to become a Loose Immortal.

From the start, Milton Cheney had already noticed some small loopholes hidden within the contract with the Heavenly Path, but he chose to enter into the contract with Steward Zuan for this reason.

Perhaps Steward Zuan’s stinginess was simply because he hadn’t yet seen hope, or maybe he thought that Milton didn’t need that many resources at this stage?

Who knows? After all, Milton doesn’t know, and he doesn’t care.

What can be sure is that, as time passes, if Steward Zuan truly sees hope that Milton can return to being an Immortal, then he would indeed turn those promised pies in the sky into reality.

After all, with the contract with the Heavenly Path binding him, Milton couldn’t escape.

Of course, Steward Zuan might not be able to see this hope anymore.

……..

The gears of time never cease to turn, and the passage of time is unchanging since the dawn of history.

Whether in reality or within this Incarnation Simulation of the Immortal Realm, time slowly passes by.

In the blink of an eye, within the Immortal Realm, ten million years have passed.

A span of ten million years in the vast, boundless Immortal Realm is like a pebble dropped into the ocean—hardly causing a ripple.

After all, the history of the Immortal Realm spans 93,400 eras.

And that is merely the recorded eras within the Immortal Realm.

You should know that each era is measured as one hundred trillion years.

That is to say, just the recorded eras of the Immortal Realm are nearly an inconceivable number of years.

What an exaggerated measure of time this is.

Though ten million years may not mean much to the Immortal Realm, when placed upon a cultivator, that time could bring enormous change.

Even the Loose Immortals, with their long lifespans, would not consider ten million years a short time.

Ten million years have elapsed in the Immortal Realm.

In an inconspicuous Gray Earth Little World within the Black Moon Sect, more than ten million years have also passed.

“`

Indeed, the Gray Earth Little World where Milton Cheney resided had the same pace of time flow as the Immortal Realm.

In the Immortal Realm, regardless of whether it’s a Little World or a Great World, a world as small as a fish pond or a Mystic Realm, the passage of time inside them was the same as the Immortal Realm.

As for why this was the case, no one knew, nor did anyone care.

This seemed to be one of the Heavenly Path Rules within the Immortal Realm.

Although Milton Cheney was somewhat curious about the reason behind this phenomenon, it was merely slight curiosity, and he similarly didn’t pay much attention to it.

Inside the Gray Earth World at this moment.

Milton Cheney maintained his seated, meditative posture.

Suddenly, the last ray of light within the Gray Earth World extinguished, and the world plunged into pitch-black darkness.

Darkness, silence.

Suddenly, a faint sound arose.

Being alone in this Little World, Milton Cheney naturally caught the origin of this faint sound immediately.

There was only one person who could come and go freely from this world.

“Are you healed?”

The next moment, Milton Cheney spoke indifferently, then opened his eyes and looked towards the Black Robe man who had suddenly appeared before him.

The pitch-black world had no effect on Milton Cheney, who could now easily see through darkness.

Hearing Milton Cheney’s words, Steward Seal just nodded.

His mood didn’t seem very good, at least at this moment he had no intention of discussing his wound with Milton Cheney.

After Steward Seal nodded, he casually sat down in front of Milton Cheney.

“Now that you have successfully prolonged your life and stepped into the Longevity Realm, you can temporarily set aside drawing life-span nutrients. I believe you understand the principle of ‘too much is as bad as too little’ better than I do.”

“I have already registered your seal in the Steward’s Hall, and your identity will also be officially changed to an Outer Sect Disciple of the Black Moon Sect Steward’s Hall.”

“You can come and go from this Little World as you please from now on, and I will also allocate some of the small worlds from the Red Pond area to you.”

“Once you accumulate enough Contributions, I will continue to provide you with life-span nutrients, but if you want to advance further to the Slashing Longevity Realm, you will need to take your time polishing your skills.”

“You were an Immortal Being in your previous life, not lacking in mentality and Comprehension, but breaking through to Loose Immortal in this life is still not easy.”

“I am aware that the help I am offering you right now is very limited, but after you break through the Slashing Longevity Realm, I will spare no effort in supporting you.”

Steward Seal simply said.

By the end, his tone had become more solemn.

He indeed harbored thoughts of maximizing his benefits.

After all, who would prefer to exchange greater investments for those benefits?

This was also the reason why he had intentionally left a few small loopholes in the Contract of the Heavenly Path.

By doing so, he created many opportunities for himself to maneuver, while Milton Cheney had none.

Since he had invested a great deal in customizing the Contract of the Heavenly Path, it naturally had to first and foremost protect his interests.

He also knew that Milton Cheney must have discovered the loopholes in the Contract of the Heavenly Path.

How could someone who had become an Immortal Being in their previous life be a simple character?

But just like he had envisaged, in the end, Milton Cheney still proceeded with forming the Contract of the Heavenly Path.

This was his open strategy, because from the beginning, he never intended to hide his intentions.

He invested in Milton Cheney with the hope of reaping a hundred or a thousand-fold returns in the future.

Of course, he hadn’t gone too far.

Just as he said, if Milton Cheney broke through to the Slashing Longevity Loose Immortal, then he would invest in him without holding back.

This was naturally not because he was any kind of saint.

The reason he was so generous was simple: once Milton Cheney broke through to Loose Immortal, regardless of whether he could eventually break through to Immortal Being, he would be bound to the same ship as him.

So his investment in Milton Cheney was an investment in himself.

However, in Steward Seal’s eyes, Milton Cheney’s successful transition to the Longevity Immortal Path was also one of the few good things that had happened to him recently.

As Steward Seal finished speaking, Milton Cheney nodded without any change in expression.

He wasn’t surprised.

Although Steward Seal had taken advantage of the Contract of the Heavenly Path to reduce some of his investment in him, it hadn’t changed the bigger picture.

It appears it was also because Steward Seal didn’t dare to truly defy the Contract of the Heavenly Path.
