The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 879 This is still a glimmer of hope, isn't it?

A great war ten thousand years ago?

Lin Chen's hair went numb instantly, and his eyes widened in shock. Did this mean that he had lived for ten thousand years?

Who in the wild and untamed world can live that long?
nobody!
Even if one reaches the peak of the Void Realm and their lifespan is pushed to its limit, they can only live for about 2,500 years at most, with a very few individuals living longer, up to 3,000 years.

Ten thousand years? No one can live that long!

Unless... you become an immortal!
All cultivators have been searching for the path to immortality, isn't it all in the hope of breaking through the shackles of life once again?
It is said that once one ascends to immortality, one is truly freed from the mortal body, and from then on, one can live without eating human food, with a body free from impurities and dust, and one's life will be greatly enhanced.

Although ascending to immortality does not mean living as long as heaven and earth, life is measured in tens of thousands of years, not just a mere one or two thousand years.

No one has found the path to immortality, but now suddenly a person from ten thousand years ago has appeared, and he is still alive and well. Doesn't this suddenly tell everyone that immortality is not a lie, and becoming an immortal is not a lie?
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Chen sighed inwardly, thinking that immortality was still the most tempting thing to people.

Even though everyone was incredibly excited when the Human Emperor's Seal appeared, it was just excitement, because it meant that the Human Emperor might reappear.

However, when everyone learned that Jiang Rukong had lived for ten thousand years, everyone's eyes became incredibly fervent, filled with longing.

This is the hope for immortality!
These Void Realm experts are practically at the top of this world, and there are few things that can interest them anymore, but that doesn't include immortality.

Immortality is their eternal pursuit!

Lin Chen said cautiously, "I have an idea..."

All eyes turned to Lin Chen, their gazes burning with intensity that startled him.

The Supreme Elder of Chicheng Mountain smiled kindly: "Speak whatever comes to mind. You are a firsthand witness, and anything you may have overlooked or missed is of paramount importance to all cultivators in the world. So don't worry about anything, just speak up as long as you have something in mind."

The group of bigwigs around him nodded in agreement, all of them giving him encouraging looks.

I am truly flattered.

I've never been so valued before... Lin Chen thought to himself. If it weren't for his background and his master's protection, it would be a question whether these people would even use their soul-searching techniques to investigate the scenes he encountered.

These people would probably do anything to achieve immortality.

Lin Chen readily agreed: "That... Senior Jiang is clearly suffering from amnesia. He himself is wondering why he is still alive when he was dead, and he can't remember who he is at all. The name Jiang Rukong was given to him by that woman in white."

“He remembers that he died, but then he came back to life, and his face didn’t even change. It’s possible that, as everyone has guessed, he ascended to immortality and then encountered some changes and lost his memory. But I think it’s more likely that after he died, he was in a state of suspended animation for a long time for some special reason, and then he woke up under some special conditions.”

The old man painting frowned and said, "You mean he didn't become an immortal?"

Lin Chen explained, “I come from the human realm. The human realm has no magic, but its technology is very advanced. They are researching how to freeze people who are about to die at extremely low temperatures and then restart them after several years. They believe that the person will be resurrected. Although this research has not been fully successful yet, in this cultivation world with its many methods, I think it is not impossible for such a thing as dying and being resurrected to happen.”

The crowd exchanged glances, their initial fervor gradually cooling down.

Elder Huo Lindongtian stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "Lin Chen makes a lot of sense. Even if he really became an immortal after ten thousand years, he couldn't possibly remain unchanged. Yet he still looks the same. Perhaps he didn't become an immortal, but rather he was resurrected from the dead..."

"Legend has it that Death Valley is a deadly place created by the blood rain from a fierce battle between immortals. There, even the dead can be resurrected, let alone a human being."

Everyone immediately felt somewhat discouraged.

I just felt a glimmer of hope for becoming an immortal, and then you tell me he didn't become an immortal, but rather came back to life?
Everyone hoped he had become an immortal and that they could find the secret to immortality in him, but it must be said that the explanation of being resurrected from the dead is obviously more convincing.

The Supreme Elder of Chicheng Mountain sighed, "It seems that the only way to solve this mystery is to find Jiang Rukong and find a way to restore his memory. There is no other way."

The old man painting smiled bitterly and said, "Jiang Rukong is a member of the Jiang family. His great secret technique, Shrinking the Earth into an Inch, is unparalleled in the world. Although he is not in his right mind, he still has his strength. It will not be easy to find him or even control him."

The Supreme Elder of Holing Cave sighed, "Ascending to immortality is no easy feat, but no matter what, it is still a hope, isn't it?"
