Murong Fu suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "What? My father is really still alive? He's hiding in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion?"
"The patriarch is indeed very patient; he hasn't shown a single flaw in thirty years!"
Deng Baichuan, one of the four great retainers, couldn't help but sigh.
"Although the patriarch has already broken through to a very high level of cultivation, with Xiao Yuanshan keeping an eye on him, and given that he is at Shaolin, if the news travels slowly, there may be trouble."
The villain said, frowning.
These words made Murong Fu suddenly realize that Murong Bo's situation was extremely dangerous.
With the truth of the Yanmen Pass massacre exposed, Xiao Yuanshan, Qiao Feng, Xuan Ci, Shaolin, the Beggars' Sect, and even the entire martial arts world of the Song Dynasty will not let Murong Bo off the hook.
In particular, there is an unfathomable sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple whose cultivation has reached the peak of a terrestrial immortal.
If Murong Bo were to be surrounded by them without careful attention, even with his extremely high cultivation level, he would likely face certain death.
Thinking of this, Murong Fu could no longer sit still and said directly to his four retainers, "Let's go! We must return to the Song Dynasty immediately!"
After saying that, he ignored Wang Yuyan and A'Zhu and left with his four retainers.
A'Zhu wanted to go with them, but Wang Yuyan stopped her:
“My cousin is going back to do something important this time. We don’t know martial arts, and following him will only be a burden to him.”
Azhu thought this made sense, so she sat back down, but looked at Wang Yuyan with a strange expression.
In the past, Wang Yuyan cared most about Murong Fu, so she would definitely go with him under these circumstances, or at least worry about him.
But now, she doesn't seem to care about Murong Fu as much anymore.
Su Chen ignored Murong Fu and the others leaving and simply sipped his tea leisurely.
Only after the murmurs in the hall gradually subsided did he slowly put down his teacup and say:
"Next, let's comment on the next expert on the list."
"Third place on the list of champions, Xiaoyaozi."
"This person is the master of the Three Elders of Xiaoyao who were on the list before, and also the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, a cultivation sect."
"He is the only person in the Xiaoyao Sect to have mastered the sect's signature martial art, the Everlasting Youth Skill."
"He has lived for over three hundred years and his cultivation has reached the terrestrial celestial realm."
"But this 'Eternal Youth Technique' was not created by him, but rather he comprehended it from an unnamed immortal stone."
"It all started three hundred years ago."
"At that time, Xiaoyaozi was just a wandering knight-errant, who happened to come to a secluded valley in Dali."
"By sheer chance, I stumbled upon a paradise called 'Eternal Spring Valley'."
As Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in cheers once again.
The previously listed Sweeper Monk had reached the pinnacle of being a terrestrial immortal and had mastered all seventy-two Shaolin skills.
Many people speculate that the top three people on the Song Dynasty's list of unparalleled talents should have reached the terrestrial celestial realm or above.
But when Su Chen actually announced it, everyone was still shocked.
Especially after hearing the detailed explanation, the martial arts practitioners exclaimed in surprise—
The person who made the list this time was actually the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, a reclusive immortal cultivation sect in the Song Dynasty. He was a true immortal cultivator who had lived for more than three hundred years.
This is absolutely a big deal.
Those martial arts practitioners who already admired the Free and Unfettered Sect were now even more envious.
As it turns out, the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect are indeed far superior to those of other sects.
Immediately, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves:
"What? The third-ranked master on the list of the greatest masters in the Song Dynasty is actually Xiaoyaozi? It seems that the master of the Three Elders of Xiaoyao is still alive, and has lived for three hundred years."
"As expected, the top three in the Song Dynasty have all reached the Land Celestial Realm!"
"So it turns out that the Song Dynasty has quite a few experts. I thought Chuan Ying was the only terrestrial Celestial Realm expert."
"Did I hear that right? The 'Eternal Youth Technique' of the Free and Unfettered Sect was something that Xiaoyaozi comprehended from an unnamed immortal stone in the Valley of Eternal Youth in Dali?"
"I've lived in Dali for twenty years and I've never heard of Changchun Immortal Valley. This place is really mysterious."
In the first private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
A glint flashed in Fusu's eyes; he had become somewhat interested.
He was sent by Ying Zheng to investigate the secret of immortality, but he looked down on those ordinary methods of cultivating immortality.
Currently, there are very few cultivation methods worth the Qin Dynasty's full efforts to acquire, and the "Eternal Youth Technique" of the Xiaoyao Sect is one of them.
This skill has no disadvantages or limitations. Once mastered, it can not only significantly extend one's lifespan but also maintain a youthful appearance.
In Fusu's view, this was the truly perfect method for achieving immortality.
Now that Su Chen has revealed some more information, he is even more interested.
Xiaoyaozi comprehended the "Eternal Youth Skill" from an unnamed immortal stone in the Changchun Immortal Valley of Dali, which suggests that the secrets of that immortal stone may be far more profound.
If the Qin Dynasty could obtain that immortal stone, they might be able to acquire an even more powerful secret technique than the "Eternal Youth Technique."
Thinking of this, Fusu's eyes burned even hotter, staring intently at Bai Yutai.
Su Chen didn't beat around the bush; facing everyone's questions, he spoke loudly:
"The Valley of Immortality in Changchun is not a place in this mortal world, but a different dimension space like the Sword Realm. Ordinary people can't enter it at all."
"Therefore, the people in the valley have never seen people from the outside, nor do they know what the outside world is like."
"When they saw Xiaoyaozi coming from outside, they were all very friendly and told him everything that had happened in the valley."
“In their eyes, this was all commonplace, but Xiaoyaozi was extremely shocked.”
"Because those men and women in the valley who look only in their twenties are actually all centenarians."
"And those old men and women who look to be in their seventies or eighties are actually several hundred years old, still full of energy, with snow-white hair and rosy complexions."
"Xiaoyaozi explored along the way and finally discovered that the wonders of the valley all came from an unnamed immortal stone."
"This magical stone is in a clear spring, and the spring water flows down from above, washing over the magical stone."
"The spring water is clear and transparent, and it is full of spiritual energy. The people in the valley call it the 'Spring of Everlasting Youth'."
"The people in the valley drink this spring water and cultivate themselves according to the patterns on the immortal stone, which is how they achieved immortality."
"So Xiaoyaozi settled down in the valley, pondering the immortal stone day and night for sixty years, and finally comprehended its secrets, deducing a method of cultivating immortality."
"Because of practicing this skill, even after sixty years, Xiaoyaozi has not aged and is almost as young as when he first entered the valley."
"Therefore, he named this skill 'Eternal Youth Kung Fu,' meaning that practicing it can lead to longevity and eternal youth."
"Later, Xiaoyaozi wanted to leave, but fearing that the immortal stone would cause trouble for Changchun Immortal Valley, he took the immortal stone with him."
"As the saying goes, the immortal stone went with Xiaoyao, and now only the Everlasting Spring remains in this valley."
"But without the Immortal Stone, the Everlasting Spring is like water without roots. More than two hundred years have passed, and it no longer has the same effect."
"Let's go back to Xiaoyaozi."
"He has an open-minded personality, is easygoing, comes and goes quickly, and has traveled for sixty years in the blink of an eye."
"During this period, he collected the essence of martial arts from various schools and combined their strengths to create several unique skills."
"For example, the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, the Tianshan Six Yang Palms, and the Life and Death Talisman are all extraordinary divine skills."
Chapter 150 Sweeping the World
"In order to prevent these skills from being lost, Xiaoyaozi decided to establish a sect and set up the Xiaoyao Sect on the Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain."
"Everyone probably knows what happened next."
"Xiaoyaozi carefully nurtured the three elders of Xiaoyao, but they failed to live up to his expectations. Disheartened, he began to wander around again and disappeared without a trace."
"He cultivated himself for sixty years, comprehended the Dao for sixty years, traveled for sixty years, founded a sect for sixty years, and then lived a carefree life for sixty years."
"A total of five Jiazi, three hundred years of immortality, this is the true freedom and carefree life of a cultivator."
"Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, we will temporarily rank him third on the list of the most outstanding figures in the Song Dynasty."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in chaos.
This figure from three hundred years ago truly made everyone feel the unique style of cultivators.
A single enlightenment took him sixty years.
Another 60 years have passed since I traveled extensively.
Another 60 years have passed since the establishment of the sect and the teaching of martial arts.
Later, his wish was not fulfilled, and he traveled again for another 60 years.
An ordinary person's life is only about 60 years. If you take away childhood and old age, how much can they accomplish?
The carefree life of Xiaoyaozi perfectly illustrates why people desperately pursue the path to immortality.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"Changchun Immortal Valley is truly amazing. The centenarians look like young people. I really want to see it for myself."
"This nameless immortal stone is truly amazing. Even the water that has been soaked in it can turn into a spring of eternal spring. It must be incredibly miraculous."
"I can now confirm that the Everlasting Youth Technique is only a part of the power of the Nameless Immortal Stone, and even Xiaoyaozi has not been able to fully understand it."
"Xiaoyaozi appears to be a very upright person, but he is actually a hypocrite. Under the guise of doing what is best for the people of Changchun Valley, he took away their precious nameless immortal stone, and from then on, Changchun Spring never existed again."
"Xiaoyaozi handled this matter very poorly. I wonder where he hid that nameless immortal stone."
"Xiaoyaozi travels around a lot, so he definitely wouldn't carry it with him. I think he probably left it at Misty Peak in Tianshan."
"This nameless immortal stone is even more valuable than the 'Eternal Youth Technique.' If it were really on Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain, it would definitely attract many experts."
“Interesting. Right now, only the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny is guarding the Heavenly Mountain. Although she is close to the Earth Immortal realm, she may not be able to guard the Nameless Immortal Stone.”
In the first private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
Zhang Han said excitedly, "Your Highness, this matter has great potential!"
