Immortal Travel of Longevity

After Aqing crossed the Bridge of Naihe, she noticed a gleam of light in the distance. Drawn to it, she slowly approached and reached out to touch it.

But that wisp of light quietly slipped between her brows.

She froze, and in the blink of an eye, a wave of drowsiness washed over her.

In her daze, she tumbled headfirst beyond the Gate of Reincarnation.

At that moment, everything came to a standstill.

...

Meanwhile, within that expanse of Reincarnation, Chen Changsheng’s heart trembled when he sensed a familiar aura.

He tried to find traces of her in that gloomy place.

But time and again, the presence vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Where..."

Panic gripped Chen Changsheng; his former composure was entirely gone.

Meanwhile, in the Underworld.

The Demon Sovereign watched this scene unfold. Letting out a breath, he turned to Manyue and said, "In the end, Chen Changsheng is destined to endure endless torment."

Manyue furrowed her brow slightly. "You pity others?"

"I am human too," the Demon Sovereign replied.

"Do you even act like one?"

Those words left the Demon Sovereign at a loss for an answer.

After a long silence, all that remained was a soft sigh.

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

In the back mountain of an immortal sect within the Cultivation World.

A woman gave birth to a daughter. The moment the infant came into the world, her loud cries rang out.

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

He Yulu gently stroked the child's head, comforting the newborn.

She wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes and wiped the tears from her own face.

He Yulu said, "You will take your mother's surname. You shall be called..."

Then, she noticed a touch of cyan green on the cloth.

"You shall be He Qing," she decided. "Yes, little Qing'er."

...

That same year in Huaixu.

Chen Changsheng returned to the Mortal World.

He had failed to find any trace of Aqing. Turning back, he made another trip to Qingshan City. The Peach Orchard was now overgrown with weeds; everything in sight had lost its former appearance.

"Where exactly did you go..."

Unable to figure any of this out, Chen Changsheng could only continue searching and asking around.

After walking through the entire Mortal World, he boarded a Flying Vessel and headed toward the Cultivation World.

Now, the Geographical Map in his robes finally served its purpose.

Every time he passed a place, he would pay close attention to the people he saw. If she wasn't there, he would cross the location off and keep moving forward.

He went to Tianji Mountain and found Elder Chen.

When Chen Daoqiu saw the person before him, he froze in surprise before hastily bowing. "Greetings, mountain lord!"

Chen Changsheng raised his hand. "This Chen wishes to know if there is any way to locate someone who has reincarnated?"

Chen Daoqiu was stunned.

He led Chen Changsheng to flip through all the historical texts and ancient records of Tianji Mountain, but they found no records of reconnecting with past-life destinies.

They found nothing.

In the end, Chen Changsheng could only walk down Tianji Mountain in disappointment.

He had no choice but to search bit by bit, refusing to overlook a single person.

He constantly hesitated, wondering if he was searching in the wrong place. Sometimes he harbored the delusion that her next life was actually in the Mortal World and he had simply missed her.

As a result, Chen Changsheng constantly traveled back and forth between the Cultivation World and the Mortal World.

He knew that in this boundless sea of time, if he missed her, there might never be another chance.

But Chen Changsheng believed in fate. Although he did not understand where Aqing had gone, he knew that as long as he kept walking the road, the day would come when they would meet again.

Day after day...

After a period of time, Chen Changsheng would once again fall into a deep slumber.

This meant that throughout those long years, he could not stay on the road continuously.

The anxiety in his heart grew severe, and Chen Changsheng felt increasingly tormented by this fate.

Within Reincarnation, he no longer had his former tranquility. He constantly thought only of getting out faster.

Faster!

Even faster!!

Waking up time and again, suffering disappointment time and again, only to fall back into slumber.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years passed!!

In the Cultivation World, Chen Changsheng once again encountered Zhao Yuqing.

Zhao Yuqing looked at the disheveled and unkempt Chen Changsheng in disbelief.

"How did you end up like this?"

Chen Changsheng let out a soft sigh and took the cup of tea Zhao Yuqing offered him.

"I am just looking for someone," he said.

Zhao Yuqing was taken aback.

"Who?"

Chen Changsheng asked, "Have you seen her? Her name is Aqing."

A flicker of change passed through Zhao Yuqing's eyes, but he quickly regained his calm demeanor. "Your sweetheart?"

Chen Changsheng paused. Lowering his head, he replied, "She is a silly girl."

Zhao Yuqing shook his head. "Never heard of her."

Chen Changsheng, who had been sitting by the edge of the field, stood up. "This Chen has other places to go. Let's chat next time we have the chance."

Zhao Yuqing blinked in surprise. "Are you in that much of a hurry?"

"Time waits for no one."

Chen Changsheng waved his hand and walked away without looking back.

He had not even finished his cup of water.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuqing felt a complex mix of emotions. Just as Chen Changsheng was about to leave, he said, "She practiced the Rebirth Scripture."

Chen Changsheng froze at those words.

He turned back to look at Zhao Yuqing.

"What did you say?"

"The Rebirth Scripture," Zhao Yuqing said.

Chen Changsheng turned back, and Zhao Yuqing began to recount the events of that year.

After learning what had happened, Chen Changsheng fell silent.

He lowered his head and rubbed his face.

Zhao Yuqing said, "This was her own choice."

Chen Changsheng said nothing. He simply left, looking as though he had lost his soul.

He continued walking the road, but guilt had firmly taken root in his heart.

"This boundless Red Dust..."

Chen Changsheng muttered under his breath, yet he still could not find an answer.

A few bitter laughs laid bare his wretchedness and sorrow.

His clothes were in tatters, his hair and face filthy.

How was he still that same Chen Changsheng?

But whenever he thought of that silly girl, he could only continue walking forward.

He always felt that she was just up ahead.

In the blink of an eye, nearly sixty years passed.

Chen Changsheng had changed to the point of being almost unrecognizable. As he walked along the road, some even mistook him for a beggar.

When he passed by tea houses and restaurants, the waiters at the doors would feel pity for him and offer a bowl of food as charity.

But how could he, Chen Changsheng, be a beggar?

"You don't want it?"

A waiter was puzzled, seeing the beggar staring at him.

The beggar reached into his sleeve, took out a few silver coins, and set them down.

Only then did he take the bowl of food and walk away.

The waiter stared blankly. Only when he picked up the silver coins did he realize he had underestimated the man.

"Sigh..."

The waiter felt a complex mix of emotions, but he still did not understand.

Since the man had already ended up in such a state, why was he unwilling to accept the goodwill of others?

Could he even survive if he kept living like this?

The waiter did not understand and found the man incredibly bizarre.

After some thought, he could only pocket the money. As for that beggar, he never appeared again.
