Immortal Travel of Longevity

Xiao Dongxu pondered.

'Is this what a Heavenly Tribulation is like?'

'It doesn't seem all that terrifying.'

He thought this way, completely unaware that such things varied from person to person. Later, he would suffer a great loss because of this assumption, nearly getting struck to death by lightning.

Not long after.

A sudden disturbance arose in the Cultivation World.

The sky abruptly darkened, taking on the color of heaven's wrath.

Sheet after sheet of dark clouds rose between Heaven and Earth.

The dense fog had dispersed!

The heavy downpour continued for several days. Under the might of heaven, the demonic path methods scattered throughout the Cultivation World were reduced to ashes.

Rumble...

For several days, the thunder rumbled ceaselessly. An untold number of cultivators who had stepped onto the demonic path had their souls entirely extinguished.

Pitter-patter...

Rainwater cascaded down the window frame.

Chen Changsheng sat indoors, a brush in hand as he painted the misty, rain-filled scenery.

Mister Zhong arrived holding an umbrella. Perhaps finding the rainy day dull, he had come to chat with Mister Chen.

"Painting such a scene—Mister Chen is quite leisurely," Zhong Zhengyuan said with a smile.

Three days had passed since the last thunder tribulation.

And this thunderstorm in the Cultivation World had also lasted for over three days.

Chen Changsheng set down his brush. "For Mister Zhong to brave the rain to come here, there must be something important."

Zhong Zhengyuan sat down and shook the rainwater from his clothes. "It is because of the words on that cliff face."

He let out a breath and continued, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Xiao has sat in meditation on that mountain for over three days, and he has managed to comprehend a few things. When I learned of this today, I found it quite marvelous, so I wanted to come and consult you, Mister, about the method of the three flowers gathering at the crown and the five qi converging to the origin."

Chen Changsheng replied, "This method uses Heaven and Earth as a furnace. I hope Mister Zhong understands this."

Zhong Zhengyuan paused slightly upon hearing this, then said, "Doesn't your method open up an entirely different path, Mister?"

Chen Changsheng said, "Mister Zhong is mistaken. In truth, such a concept has existed for a long time. It was simply never perfected, or it was abandoned halfway to become a discarded scripture. When This Chen browsed through all the cultivation manuals and ancient texts in the Book Pavilion of Tianji Mountain, I also found a few traces of it. Among them, a cultivator named Yuan Baopu once proposed the idea of using Heaven and Earth as a furnace. Although he put it into practice, he could not fully comprehend it even after spending half his life on it, and he was forced to set it aside when his lifespan reached its end. There was also..."

Chen Changsheng proceeded to name several other figures.

These were all essentially people he had read about in books, real and traceable. Some were mentioned in passing within martial arts manuals, while others were recorded in cultivation insights. Scattered about, there were quite a few.

Zhong Zhengyuan looked somewhat dazed after listening to this. "Your meticulous reading of the ancient texts is truly admirable, Mister. It is just that I fear this method might overturn the Cultivation World. It will certainly stir up a storm in the future..."

Chen Changsheng said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for it to become widespread."

He stated it plainly.

Zhong Zhengyuan was puzzled. "Why won't it spread?"

Chen Changsheng replied, "Heaven and Earth intentionally distorted the writing on that cliff face, making it appear obscure. Unless one possesses absolutely peerless talent, I fear it would be difficult to comprehend even a fraction of it. It is clear that the heavens do not wish for it to prevail across the world."

Zhong Zhengyuan was momentarily dazed again before asking, "And why would that be...?"

Chen Changsheng said, "Heaven and Earth have their own rules, which are not something we can shake for the time being."

Zhong Zhengyuan recovered his wits and soon stopped pondering the matter.

He let out a soft sigh and added, "What a pity."

Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and then asked, "With the continuous rain throughout the Cultivation World and the opening of the heavens' eyes, I assume the chaos caused by the demonic cultivators has already faded, hasn't it?"

Zhong Zhengyuan nodded. "It may have faded, but it has not been solved. The path of the demonic cultivator has already entered the sights of cultivators. Furthermore, there will always be those who slip through the net, hiding in the corners of this world. It is an absolute certainty that the demonic cultivators will make a comeback. Dispersing that dense fog has only temporarily delayed the matter, though the situation is still much better than before."

Zhong Zhengyuan paused for a moment before saying, "We still have you to thank, Mister Chen. Were it not for your actions that day, there is no telling to what extent the demonic cultivators would have expanded before we could find an opportunity to awaken the Heavenly Dao."

Chen Changsheng said, "Mister Zhong praises me too highly. This Chen was merely stumbling upon it by sheer luck."

Chen Changsheng let out a breath and looked outside. "Speaking of which, it is about time for This Chen to leave."

"Why is that?" Zhong Zhengyuan asked.

Chen Changsheng explained, "This Chen has heard that the Demon Lord has already returned. I previously fought against a demonic soldier, and although I secured a complete victory and drove it back, I still feel a vague sense of unease in my heart."

Hearing this, Zhong Zhengyuan also fell into thought.

This matter concerning the demonic cultivators made him feel incredibly troubled as well.

The dreary rain that shrouded the entire Cultivation World finally stopped on the morning of the fourth day.

And on that same morning, Chen Changsheng departed from Tianji Mountain.

When he left, several elders came to see him off, with Lu Shan and Xiao Dongxu among them.

Xiao Dongxu possessed extraordinary comprehension. He had managed to glean a thing or two from that stone wall, and although his understanding was incomplete, he had still benefited immensely. As they parted ways, he only said that the next time Mister visited, the two of them should engage in a proper discourse on the Dao.

He watched Mister Chen leave.

Xiao Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief. "Mister Chen is truly a peerless genius of this world," he remarked.

He had benefited so much just from comprehending a fraction of the contents on that stone wall, let alone the complete text.

...

His arm had already been found.

His cultivation method was also complete.

For now, aside from searching for his missing head, all that remained was to keep a low profile and wait for the right moment to arrive.

But since there was currently not the slightest news regarding that head, and Chen Changsheng had nowhere else to go, he simply returned to Nanyuan.

When Manyue learned of what Chen Changsheng had done, she was momentarily stunned. To go out on a single trip and produce such an earth-shattering manual of Arts and Techniques was truly extraordinary.

Chen Changsheng, however, voiced the doubt in his heart.

"Why did the thunder tribulation that day end up like that...?"

Loud thunder and small raindrops.

As the Heavenly Dao, Manyue naturally understood much more than Chen Changsheng did.

She explained, "Firstly, you yourself are protected by the Heavenly Dao. Secondly, the cultivation method you forged is inherently extraordinary. The emergence of such a method is also beneficial to Heaven and Earth. When the existence of a manual surpasses a certain limit, the thunder tribulation it faces is vastly different. When ordinary methods appear in the world, they are seizing fortune from the heavens. But your method, to a certain extent, bestows fortune upon the heavens. Therefore, that thunder tribulation was never going to harm you in the slightest."

Chen Changsheng said, "So it is like that."

Manyue added, "It is just like if you were to create such a method within the spirit cage. My own origin source would also experience growth, and my control over this world would become much smoother. It is exactly like that."

Chen Changsheng stroked his chin. "Speaking of which, I also managed to resolve that matter with the demonic cultivators by stumbling upon it by sheer luck."

Manyue gave a warm smile and said nothing more.

For the remaining days, Chen Changsheng focused entirely on his Cultivation.

As for Scattering Beans to Summon Soldiers, he naturally had to use it as well.

Although he couldn't completely integrate them into himself, this excess Magical Power was still useful. If his Magical Power were to run low in the future, he could temporarily borrow from this reserve.

With this, Chen Changsheng felt slightly more at ease.

Cultivation, Cultivation...

He only hoped he could accumulate a bit more Magical Power to handle whatever changes lay ahead.
