Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 578 Immortal

"The Ghost Race still possesses an intact bloodline and heritage," Qinchuan nodded as he spoke, but in the next moment, his tone shifted, and he continued.

"However, within the Underworld, the Spiritual Energy Mysterious Crystals are scarce. Since the time the Ancient Ghost Clan concluded their natural lifespan, the descendants of the Ghost Race have been in decline, generation after generation.

Now, within the Underworld, the mightiest Ghost Emperor is merely on par with a Heavenly God, and their aptitude has deteriorated to that of the Human Race, long since losing the glory of the Ancient Ghost Clan."

Qinchuan said this while glancing unintentionally yet intentionally at Ye Shiyi.

This was also one of the aspects of him that Qinchuan was curious about.

After the two Great Gods incarnated and metamorphosed the rules, the Ghost Race was eternally confined to the Underworld, and not even the Ancient Ghost Clan could break through the barriers. After hundreds of millions of years, the Ghost Race has long been in decline.

How did the bloodline of the Ghost Race manage to spread to the Divine Wilderness Continent?

"Did the Ancient Ghost Clan also have a lifespan limit?" A gleam of insight flashed in Ye Xuanji's eyes as he picked up on the key point in Qinchuan's words.

In his memory, the clans of Ancient Times, capable of destroying heavens and shattering worlds, were immortal beings.

How could such existences still be shackled by the bonds of lifespan?

"Under the Heavenly Dao, death is the fairest constraint upon all beings and clans."

Qinchuan looked up at the azure sky as if attempting to see through the vast Heavenly Dao.

"Even the Ancient Divine Clan and Ghost Race cannot escape the sanctions of reincarnation. It's just that the lifespan of gods, demons, ghosts, and spirits of the various ancient clans is generally longer, commonly living up to several tens of millions of years, and possibly even up to a hundred million years. Compared to the Human Race's million-year lifespan limitation, it is much stronger."

"The Human Race can live up to one million years at most?" Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er asked in unison, as they too were concerned about their own lifespans.

The two of them from the Thousand Fox Mountain Fox Clan were a unique existence. Though called the Fox Clan, they had already completed intermarriage with the Human Race in Ancient Times, which is why their lineage has been passed down in human form.

Strictly speaking, their lineage is also considered under the Human Race.

The things Qinchuan spoke of today were known to few in the Divine Wilderness Continent but were common knowledge in the Divine Realm. He had nothing to hide, speaking freely and continuing.

"Cultivators from the Divine Wilderness Continent that cultivate to the Great Emperor Realm can generally live up to two hundred thousand years, whereas those above in the Divine Realm that cultivate to the Divine Emperor Level can have up to a million years of lifespan."

"The longest recorded human lifespan is that of the Green Lotus Divine Emperor from ten million years ago and the Jie Tian Divine Emperor from thirty million years ago; both lived for a full three million years."

The lifespan of these two exceeded all of Qinchuan's nine cycles of reincarnation combined.

Over his nine cycles of life, including the dormant periods of reincarnation, Qinchuan lived a million years from his second to his eighth life, and another million years in his first life. By any account, he has now lived only two hundred years in his current life.

"In this world, is there a method for eternal life?"

Ye Xuanji sighed with countless emotions.

They cultivated for a lifetime pursuing the limits of strength, fighting against the ravages of time, even once aspiring to seek immortality in the Divine Realm. Now having heard that even in the Divine Realm there is no method for everlasting life, he couldn't help but lament.

"Immortality?"

Qinchuan also momentarily lost in thought, plunged into a sea of memories.

After a long pause, he said lightly, "Perhaps there is."

"People in the Divine Realm have discovered Ancient Books left by the Ancient Divine Clan which mentioned that one aspect of the Heavenly Dao that disappeared evolved into a completely new Dao.

If one could touch this brand-new Dao, they would enter a completely new Realm, called 'Immortal'"

"Immortal!"

Upon hearing this word, Ji Huo, Ye Xuanji, and the others felt a mysterious throbbing flash through their minds, causing their bodies to tremble.

As they were speaking, Qinchuan and the others had already arrived in front of an inn.

"Enough talk, it's useless. None of you should harbor unrealistic ambitions. Focus on your cultivation with peace of mind. By following this young master, there will come a day when you will be able to break through the limitations of the Divine Wilderness Continent and ascend to the Divine Realm."

After finishing his words, Qinchuan went into the inn without paying any further attention to his companions.

The Dao Hearts of people like Ji Huo'er were touched, and they looked at Qinchuan with even more reverence and shock.

Just now, they had heard about the ancient secrets and the shackles on the lifespan of the Human Race, as well as the existence of the Immortal Path. The Dao Hearts of each person had been deeply moved. Qinchuan's final simple remark once again solidified everyone's Dao Heart.

The innkeeper had already reached the Dao Palace Realm in his cultivation level. Seeing Qinchuan and the others enter, their robust and pure qi on display, he hurried over with a beaming smile.

"I want five of your best rooms!"

Qinchuan glanced around the inn and saw that it was decorated with numerous Heavenly Treasures Materials, emitting a faint spiritual energy and scent.

"Five rooms?" The innkeeper looked Qinchuan and his party up and down, finally resting his gaze on Ye Shiyi and Ji Huo'er. He said, "Guests, you must be from out of town, aren't you?"

"Indeed, it's our first time here. What about it?"

Qinchuan replied impassively.

"That's right, I suggest you don't rent five rooms."

"Why?" Ye Xuanji asked indifferently.

"Because Lindong City has been unsafe recently. Children have been going missing frequently," the innkeeper said in a low voice.

"Children missing? Kidnapped?" Qinchuan frowned, his first thought being that some evil cultivator was abducting children for their blood to practice cultivation.

"That's right, these disappearances of children are random. Some are from ordinary families, and some are offspring of cultivators. Just a few days ago, the child of the Qingfeng Sect Leader who lives a hundred miles east of the city disappeared.

You should know that the Qingfeng Sect Leader has reached the Great Saint Intermediate Stage. It's truly audacious that even he would be targeted," the innkeeper shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Qinchuan dismissed his previous suspicion. Evil cultivators, despised and hunted by cultivators worldwide, would not risk abducting a Sect Leader's child if they were targeting ordinary children for their blood.

The innkeeper continued, "However, there's a strange pattern. All these missing children have one thing in common: they all disappeared at night while sleeping alone.

If there are adults around the children when they go to bed at night, whether they are cultivators or ordinary people, the children are sure to be safe and sound."

"Truly bizarre!" Ye Xuanji's brows were tightly knit.

To break into a Sect and take children from under the nose of a Great Saint Intermediate Stage without alerting anyone, the perpetrator must be no ordinary individual. Logically, they shouldn't fear ordinary people.

"So, I suggest you take three rooms instead," said the innkeeper.

"Why should we take three rooms when there are clearly five of us? Even leaving aside one child, wouldn't we still require four rooms?" Ji Huo'er asked, looking around in confusion.

Qinchuan, Ye Xuanji, and Ling Xian'er all turned their gaze towards her simultaneously.

Although Ji Huo'er was quite advanced in her cultivation level, she was petite and still appeared to be a young girl. At first glance, she seemed not much taller than Ye Shiyi.

Realizing what had happened, Ji Huo'er burst out protestingly, "Ah, ah, ah, I'm not a child anymore!"

"Alright, three rooms it is." Qinchuan spoke at this moment, holding back laughter, which attracted more protests from Ji Huo'er.
