Asking for Immortality in Another World

I've witnessed chaos and the fall of dynasties in the mortal realm. I've seen a wise ruler emerge, reshaping the world's landscapes. In my prime, I stood among the crowd, observing with my hands in my pockets. Later, I learned about immortals, acquired immortal techniques, and embarked on the path of immortality. Along this journey, I faced challenges and stumbled. While geniuses led the era and set trends, I remained a mere bystander in the mortal world, facing its ruthless nature. As years passed and beauty faded,and as time flew by, the world transformed. Eventually, step by step, I achieved immortality on the path of seeking. Some say immortality is but a dream, while others urge cultivators to push forward. Some claim that ten thousand years is too long, advocating for seizing the day. Yes, indeed. ——Excerpt from "Memoirs of the Immortal" by Gu Changsheng, the immortal king of Enlightened Way!

Chapter 31: Isn't this bullying the honest people?

  "Are the officials of Xuanwu Division entering the world of martial arts?"

  In a teahouse in Qingmo City.

  Gu Changsheng sat by the window, holding a cup of hot tea in his right hand, listening to the murmuring conversations of the crowd.

He muttered in confusion to himself.

  He hadn't expected such events to unfold in the world after just ten years of hiding in the mountains.

However, this had little impact on him.

Nor did it affect small fish like the Chuyun Martial Arts School much.

  The main targets are still those big martial arts sects.

  Those who aren't even first-class warriors are considered unworthy of Emperor Xuan's attention.

Nonetheless, there was a sense of loss!

It cannot be denied that there was some impact.

Yet, everything pales in comparison.

It was unfortunate to witness the downfall of those once prestigious sects.

  I don't know how many people are watching the spectacle with gloating.

  Those who resist stubbornly will be cut down and crushed.

  If you don't choose to resist, you will have to hand over the martial arts of the sect.

  This is a dilemma.

Do they make a decision that goes against their ancestors, or do they honor their ancestors and face destruction?

Several major sects in Xuan Kingdom have already set an example in this regard.

But if some choose to live, naturally, others will choose to die.

  In contrast, it's absurd how spineless the big sects have become! The surviving sects have all lost face.

  I don't know how many people have despised them behind their backs.

  This matter can be talked about for a lifetime!

  So, these big sects almost hate Emperor Xuan, and there is nothing wrong with that.

  One state after another was cleared, and the rule of the court was also extended.

  Emperor Xuan is not a psychopath. He doesn't want to target warriors all over the world. Only those who can be included in the list of the Xuanwu Division must be at least first-class forces to qualify.

  Although many people may not want this qualification.

  The Xuan Kingdom's martial arts world was quite turbulent in the past few years, but it has been much better in recent years.

  I just don't know how many warriors are still on the run.

  Regarding Emperor Xuan, Gu Changsheng can only say that he is ruthless!

Too ruthless!

Is this the domineering nature of an emperor, especially a founding one?

  Once a word is spoken, the world listens!

  Gu Changsheng suddenly seemed to understand the weight of being an emperor.

The emperor cannot be insulted!

This is the only thought that came to his mind.

Who said that there is no true emperor in our human race...

  And if these major sects in the Xuan Kingdom want to avoid being mocked behind their backs, the best approach is to pull all sects and martial arts families in the world into the same predicament they face now.

When everyone is in darkness, even a glimmer of light is seen as a transgression.

  "Huh?!"

  Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that it seemed that this was really possible.

  This is very much like what those big sects can do.

  No way...?

  Hiss...

  Gu Changsheng seemed to see the future as he sipped the tea from his mouth.

  If capitalists are not unscrupulous, can they still be called unscrupulous capitalists?

  Similarly, if they have moral integrity, they can't become big sects.

  What is the difference between good and evil in this world?

  However, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

  ...

  Gu Changsheng arrived in Qingmo City and naturally visited Red Sleeves.

Someone once claimed there are no dragons in this world, and he chuckled at that notion.

Young people are often naive.

He had encountered a dragon before, a magnificent and lengthy creature!

  There may not be girls who are forever young and beautiful in this world.

  But there are always young ladies who are eighteen years old.

  There are talented people in every generation, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years!

  Half a month of joy, Gu Changsheng came out of the brothel, rubbing his old waist.   

  This generation of Red Sleeve's courtesan is not good.

  Compared with the previous ones, his evaluation is far inferior.

  This evaluation is very objective and true. The quality has obviously declined seriously!

  Isn't this bullying an honest person? !

  ...

  This time, I had a surprising experience.

Gu Changsheng returned to the remote mountains feeling satisfied and decided to remain there. He resolved not to leave again until he achieved the breakthrough to become a first-class warrior.

  He could clearly see and feel that he was getting stronger little by little. This kind of happiness was unimaginable.

  Although the whole process was very slow, it was very stable.

  Anyway, time is probably the most worthless thing in the world for him.

  Immortals, immortal species.

  It takes ten or twenty years to get a breakthrough.

  Is there any more cost-effective deal in the world?

  Certainly not!

  Gu Changsheng gracefully stepped on the green treetops in the forest, seeming to walk on solid ground, his movements ethereal like an immortal. He continued until he saw the door of his home, leaped into the air, and landed with elegance, without a speck of dust touching him.

When I was a child, I witnessed heroes soaring high with various martial skills.

  I felt envious, imagining myself floating like a fairy.

But after mastering this martial art, I realized it was just like any other skill,

Similar to how people walk and run.

Qinggong, too, consumes the blood and qi in the human body.

  It is operated in a clever way, making people feel as light as a swallow.

  In fact, it is just an illusion.

  I don't know if the rules of the world are different.

  The blood and qi in this world are a very magical thing.

  The foundation of a warrior is blood and qi. From the moment they begin training, the cultivation of blood and qi will accompany and influence their martial arts journey throughout their life.

This holds true, especially for warriors below the innate realm.

  When martial artists reach the innate realm of their training, it is believed that a distinct form of power emerges within their bodies. This power is alternatively referred to as innate Qi, Golden Qi, or internal force by different practitioners.

  It is a higher level of energy than blood and qi.

  But Gu Changsheng isn't aware of its magical properties.

He is simply a second-rate warrior.

  How magical is this kind of innate qi thing? Can someone like him who has no power and no background understand it?

  Returning to his home in the mountains, Gu Changsheng took off all his disguises.

  So handsome!

  Every time he saw his real face, Gu Changsheng would always feel very surprised and emotional. How could there be such a handsome face in the world?

  ...

  ...

  Time flies, and I don't know how many years have passed.

  Years flew by, and Gu Changsheng couldn't keep track of how many had passed.

He devised a promising recipe he believed could effectively restore a warrior's blood and qi, but he was hesitant to experiment with it himself.

  He captured a wild beast in the mountains, bled it, and then gave it to the beast.

  Later, it died!

  "It shouldn't be..."

  He rubbed his head and muttered to himself.

  Over the years, he has been studying medical skills.

  In addition to the Gu's old Prescription recipe and Burning Passion Potion, only this thing that may restore the blood and qi of a warrior is the most valuable to him.

  Gu Changsheng gave it the temporary name "Little Blood Bottle" or alternatively "Small Qi Bottle".

For a warrior, these represent the vital essence of blood and qi, essential for their strength and vitality.

  Logically speaking, it should be able to quickly restore the blood and qi of a warrior.

  But the final experimental effect was not very ideal.

  It is not known how many subsequent experiments and improvements are needed.

  Gu Changsheng was wearing a white coat made by himself, like a perverted doctor.

He is skilled at Embracing Darkness!
