Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2051 Lifespan
[Truly a race that, from the moment of birth, is already standing at the finish line.]

It has to be said that even Zhou Xu envied the innate advantages of the Elven race.

What other races pursue throughout their lives, elves often have from birth, yet these guys are so lazy. Just thinking about it makes it hard not to get angry.

Wright, however, was unaware of this and continued speaking.

"If we could take another step forward and cultivate to the Realm of Vertical and Horizontal or the Realm of Nascent Soul, then the natural lifespan of our Elf race would be extended by about five hundred years. This is recorded in the history of our Elf race. That strongman in our race died peacefully at the age of two thousand one hundred. I don't know about those who lived longer."

"As for the human race, since the human race has always been large and ubiquitous, it has been mentioned in ancient books when they are used as examples for comparison."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu immediately perked up his ears; clearly, this was the information he was most concerned about.

"Humans who cultivate to the Hundred Refinements Realm and the Transcendent Realm can generally live for about two to three hundred years..."

Wright, upon uttering the number, couldn't help but sigh, feeling that it was far too short-lived and pitiful; in their elven race, it was considered an early death.

If any human heard this idea, they would probably curse it in their hearts.

"Humans who cultivate to the Vajra Realm and the Saint Realm can generally live for about five to six hundred years."

"Humans who cultivate to the Transcendent Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm will experience significant improvements, and their lifespan can naturally be extended to 1,500 years."

It is not difficult to see from this that the first two levels are relatively basic, and only by stepping into the third major level can one usher in a true qualitative change.

After listening to Wright's explanation, Zhou Xu fell into a brief silence.

To be honest, this result was somewhat different from his initial expectations.

When he made his initial guess, he thought that with his peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, he could easily live for several thousand years. But it turns out he could only live for 1,500 years? And he couldn't even beat an ordinary elf whose natural lifespan was 1,600 years?

Even Zhou Xu couldn't help but mutter a few words to himself when he thought about this.

But if you calm down and think about it, a lifespan of 1,500 years is actually a very long time.

Keep in mind, he's only a little over a hundred years old now, and he still has nearly fourteen hundred years to live.

Thinking about it this way, his life seems to have no end in sight.

However, Zhou Xu couldn't help but ask a question.

"What if we break through to an even higher level?"

"To break through to the next level, martial artists are called Divine Speed ​​Realm, while mages are called Incarnation Realm."

Believe it or not, Wright actually knew some things. As expected of a long-lived race with a long history, they knew quite a lot.

In fact, when Wright first broke through to the Realm of Horizontal and Vertical, he was young and full of vigor. At that time, his goal was to cultivate to the Realm of Divine Speed.

But as his cultivation progressed, he gradually realized that he was starting to feel powerless, and that's when he slowly gave up the idea.

When this topic was brought up again, Wright was probably reminded of his glorious past and couldn't help but drift off into thought.

After regaining his senses, he couldn't help but sigh.

"However, there are very few records about these two realms. It is said that martial artists in the Divine Speed ​​Realm can travel to the heavens and the earth and travel a thousand miles a day, while mages in the Transformation Realm have even more miraculous methods."

At this point, Wright couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xu again.

The image of Zhou Xu completely dominating Ereda at sea flashed through Wright's mind. In his opinion, Zhou Xu was already showing signs of that. Who knew, their emperor might actually break through to that astonishing level?

After thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt that his decision to join the Great Zhou had become much wiser.

Wright had no further information, and Zhou Xu didn't dwell on it.

The conversation then turned to the Wood Elf Elder, Roth.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if Elder Roth would be interested in joining our Great Zhou's Wood Elf Mage Corps?"

Assuming Roth lives to be 1,700 years old, he still has 300 to 400 years left to live. Although he is old, it would be a waste to just leave him idle.

However, Zhou Xu also knew that Elder Luo Te hadn't made much effort in his life, and now that he was this old, it was even less likely that he would want to make a fortune.

As expected, upon hearing this, Roth clearly intended to refuse.

But Zhou Xu spoke first, before the other party could...

"There's no need for the training John and the others. I can give the elder the title of Royal Mage, with his salary and benefits still paid. He can just guide the newcomers in the mage corps, impart his experience, and assist the mage corps in carrying out missions when needed."

At this point, Zhou Xu added another sentence...

"Most of the time nothing happens, otherwise look at John and Saine, haven't they been staying here to cultivate all these years?"

After Zhou Xu said that, Roth was indeed less resistant.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

After all, in Roth's view, even without this official position, he still guided those young men in their cultivation on a regular basis, since they were all members of their Wood Elf clan.

Having this position, plus the salary and benefits, isn't that the same as getting it for free?
Most importantly, he genuinely enjoys being with children.

Without this position, and after John and Said leave, wouldn't I become a lonely old man again?

With this in mind, and with Zhou Xu's patient persuasion, Elder Roth finally nodded and agreed to the matter.

And just as they were talking, they arrived at the planting area of ​​the Tree of Life.

The Elf Forest is full of trees, but the Life Spirit Tree, as a special plant, cannot be planted randomly; it is cared for in specific areas.

"This is it."

Actually, when viewed from above, the planting area of ​​the Tree of Life is quite easy to distinguish, because the trees in this area are generally taller, and each one is a towering tree that is hundreds of years old.

Before Zhou Xu could speak, Elder Roth had already begun the introduction.

"The oldest life tree here has lived for three thousand years, and it is the one in the very center of the area."

Compared to the other life-giving trees around it, the three-thousand-year-old tree wasn't that much taller, but it was indeed enormous, exuding an ancient aura and containing powerful life energy, which Zhou Xu could sense even before he got close.

But clearly, it was impossible for him to cut down this three-thousand-year-old tree to build the Black Sail warships.

He felt that if he brought up this idea, Elder Roth, who was chatting with him peacefully just a second ago, would suddenly turn on him and fight him with his staff the next second.
