Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 240 - 183 Heavenly Heart Soul Separation, Changle Passes Away

"Alcohol and Meat Uncle Li Changle is going to die?"

Startled by this sudden news, Tao Qian couldn't help but be amazed.

How could this be so abrupt?

According to what he had known previously, the Daoist Alcohol and Meat, after being covered up and walking away in shame, should have entered the Absolute Immortal Sea Islands early, preparing to participate in the grand assembly of the Ten Thousand Immortals, seeking a slim chance for survival.

Although at that time Tao Qian had noticed Li Changle's condition was extremely bad, there was still some distance before his ultimate death.

Now, on the cusp of dying and having his Dao vanish, there must have been some new event.

When Tao Qian conjured this speculation, that summons finally turned from void to reality, and an eerie image from afar entered his mind:

Somewhere in the Absolute Immortal Domain, within a large island formed entirely of a gigantic turtle's corpse.

At that moment, within that skeletal frame of the giant turtle, there was a brilliantly colorful Big Fish, but it had rotted beyond recognition, wrapped in a pungent mist all around.

Had a normal person seen it, even from a vast distance, they would still have been contaminated.

Yet through Tao Qian's eyes, it was a whole different scene.

The rotting fish's body was not largely problematic, though it had mutated and fallen, it could still control itself.

The real fatal issue was its soul.

The similar mutated and rotting soul of Daoist Alcohol and Meat, Li Changle, had its mouth hooked by a massive fish hook, which connected to a fishing line leading towards the Void to an unknown place.

Although there was no immense force attacking for the time being, the fish hook occasionally lifted, agitating the wound and causing Li Changle's soul to emit cries of agony, desperately struggling to avoid being effortlessly taken away.

But the more he struggled, the more pain he endured.

"His soul is completely hooked by the fish hook and could be fished away at any moment."

"Currently, he is using another elder's corpse and a forbidden technique for protection, but sadly the fish hook is meant to capture his soul, rendering most protections meaningless."

"Just as the Record said, he is about to die."

Tao Qian made his judgment, and at that moment within that turtle shell, Alcohol and Meat Uncle Li Changle, already revealing his true form, also looked towards Tao Qian from afar.

Despite the great distance between them, Tao Qian felt as though the scene was right before his eyes.

Clearly visible!

As if he could simply reach out and remove the fish hook to ease his uncle's pain if he wished.

Unfortunately, it was but a vanity.

Tao Qian and Li Changle locked eyes, within the latter's, there was unmistakable pain, remorse, and unwillingness.

But eventually, all morphed into a kind of resigned desolation.

Only to hear a deep sigh, Li Changle's voice entered Tao Qian's ears:

"Nephew Tao, do not panic, your uncle did not summon you to trouble you."

"Having reached such a state, my life has long been placed in others' hands, and my remaining soul has already been laid on the chopping block, even though you would want to help me, it is too late."

"In this life, I can be said to have been abandoned by everyone. Now facing death, I have neither friends nor relatives, I just don't want to die alone, thus I remotely summoned my nephew, hoping merely for someone to accompany me."

"If there's anything you wish to know, you can ask me, I'll respond to everything."

"People's words are good when they are about to die; I hope you believe me."

These words resonated, immediately causing Tao Qian to feel an overwhelming sense of profound sorrow.

Li Changle was indeed once a strong practitioner of the Cavernous Mystery Realm, yet the mental state he showed now was worse than an old man dying in the Mortal World.

As he spoke, tears flowed.

But due to severe mutation, what leaked from his decaying fish eyes was also thick pus and blood.

The scene was both sorrowful and abhorrent.

Tao Qian furrowed his brows slightly, not disconnecting the Summoning God Technique immediately.

Despite the distance, he still had the Jade Purification Bottle in his hand.

The only thing to be cautious of was Li Changle leading him to that island.

However, Tao Qian indeed had some questions in his heart that he wanted to ask this uncle, who had experienced a rich life but whose end was quite tragic.

After some thought, Tao Qian spoke:

"Uncle, as an elder of the Spirit Treasure Sect, now that you have been plotted against by outsiders, why not seek help from the Sect Master or the ancestors?"

"Could it be that the owner of the fish hook has more power than our Spirit Treasure Sect?"

Hearing this, Li Changle's tears surged even more.

The foul-smelling and corrosive pus and blood speckled and blackened the skeletal frame of the turtle shell.

Then, Tao Qian heard a somewhat surprising answer.

"My nephew, you misunderstand, it's not that the Sect doesn't want to save me, it's really because I have brought this on myself."

"I entered this path due to my greed, my Dao heart was not firm, and despite my reliance, I sadly refused my teacher."

These words entering his ears also inevitably surprised Tao Qian.

Standing from most people's perspective, Li Changle's choice would be hard to understand.

Even Lin Xiaohua knew, the Immortal Fish Technique was not a good cultivation technique, though it offered gains without effort, a terrifying price lurked behind.

According to the Mortal World's analogy, cultivating the Immortal Fish Technique was somewhat like borrowing a high-interest loan.

Having been trickled before and finally having a mentor willing to help you get out of trouble, who could refuse such a rare opportunity?

Li Changle, he had refused.

Though this Alcohol and Meat Uncle appeared profoundly unreliable, he wasn't so short-sighted.

Clearly, the issue was his so-called "reliance"; Tao Qian wondered what it was, or what kind of reasons would make him confident enough to keep benefiting without paying?
