Inside the Hall of Longevity.

At this moment, two divine sources stand in the hall. One seals the old woodcutter, who holds a woodcutter's knife in his hand, his expression full of rage, as if he will burst out of the source at any moment and swing the woodcutter's knife to strike.

The other one was sealed with the old man with yellow teeth. His eyes were wide open, his expression one of utter astonishment and disbelief. He was frozen in the divine source, motionless.

Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, glanced at the two divine sources and nodded in satisfaction. Useful people should not die easily; they should be protected if possible.

At this moment, Huang Ya'er, Big Beard, Zhou Yi and the others in the hall finally reacted, and then they all looked at Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, with doubt in their eyes, wondering why he would suppress and seal the old man with yellow teeth in this way.

Huang Ya'er took a light breath and said, "Master, this..."

Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, looked at her and smiled, "Ya'er, don't you want your grandfather to continue living? Even if it's just sealed within the Divine Source like this?"

Huang Ya'er fell silent, her face showing difficulty. Naturally, she wanted her grandfather to continue living, even if he was sealed in the divine source, because at least she would still have a relative in the world and she would not be alone.

However, she also respected the old man with yellow teeth's own choice. Since the old man with yellow teeth wanted to die of old age and was tired of this world and did not want to be sealed away any longer, she would not force him.

Otherwise, she would have already attained enlightenment in a different way, able to extract divine source liquid from the universe, and could have forcefully suppressed and sealed the old man with yellow teeth. But she did not do so because she still respected the old man with yellow teeth.

She just didn't expect that Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, would do the same thing instead of doing it herself, directly suppressing and sealing the seal without saying a word. He was so decisive and efficient.

Seeing Huang Ya'er's silent and troubled expression, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, understood and shook his head with a smile: "Ya'er, it's better not to leave regrets. When you live in this world, you should try not to leave regrets. If you become an immortal in the future and live forever, wouldn't you be saddened when you think of your grandfather who died of old age?"

"Since that's the case, why not suppress and seal him now? When you truly become an immortal one day, perhaps you can break the seal and help your grandfather become an immortal together? That way, you two can be together forever, wouldn't that be better?"

Upon hearing his words, the bearded man and Zhou Yi exchanged a glance and fell silent, each with their own thoughts.

The bearded man thought to himself with a wry smile, "This Celestial Venerable is truly speechless! His words seem to be entirely for Ya'er's good, but in reality, they are just encouraging Ya'er to strive forward on the path to immortality and paving the way for his ascension."

"Back then, he used the power of his sealed master to recruit us and make us serve him for three thousand years. Now he's using the power of his sealed uncle to motivate Ya'er. It's all just to pave his own path to immortality!"

"But I have to say, Ya'er and I really have to be grateful to him. After all, he only suppressed and sealed our master, he didn't kill him. It's already quite remarkable that our master survived after angrily swinging his sword at a Heavenly Venerable Emperor!"

"Furthermore, suppressing and sealing Martial Uncle might actually unleash Ya'er's potential, allowing her to go further on the path to immortality!" Clearly, the bearded man instantly understood Shen Pingkang's intention in suppressing and sealing the Yellow-Toothed Elder. It was all for his own benefit, but he couldn't bring himself to hate him because he harbored no ill will.

Zhou Yi, however, had a different thought as he looked at the two divine sources and listened to Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

He sighed inwardly, "To become an immortal, to live forever! Alas! Only the truly gifted can have such an opportunity, and only they can truly embark on the path to immortality!"

He glanced at Huang Ya'er with a complex and envious look in his eyes. Thinking of Ye Fan and the others, he felt a mix of emotions. Three thousand years had passed, and no matter how much perseverance and effort he put into cultivation, he had to admit that people were all different. Some people's talents could not be matched by hard work and perseverance, especially in the field of cultivation.

Ye Fan's Ancient Sacred Body, Huang Ya'er's Supreme Immortal Body, and various other divine and royal bodies, the children of ancient emperors, etc., they all cultivate faster than others and can go further on the path of cultivation. No matter how hard or how persevering others are, they can't catch up with them.

Zhou Yi is a typical example. Over the past three thousand years, he felt that he had worked very hard, never slacking off in his cultivation, and steadily progressing step by step. However, among the many geniuses of the universe and the shining stars, he had no place!
Hard work and perseverance may enable him to achieve something, but ultimately he will not be as talented as those who are gifted!

He is now at the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, a mid-level Quasi-Emperor in the universe, but achieving enlightenment through alternative means is a distant dream with no hope in sight. So, let alone becoming a true immortal, he doesn't even have the qualifications to embark on the path to immortality.

Thinking of this, even someone as persevering as Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but it was only for a moment. His gaze hardened again, and he thought to himself, "In this life, I've been fortunate enough to come from Earth to Beidou by chance, to start my cultivation here, and to witness this vast universe. I've already lived for three thousand years, which is an opportunity that's hard to come by. Wanting more would just be greedy! After all, so many people on Earth turn to dust in a hundred years. I'm already lucky! To shine brightly in this universe for a lifetime isn't bad at all!"

After a moment of silent contemplation, Huang Ya'er bowed respectfully to Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, with a firm expression and said, "Yes! I understand Master's words. I will certainly live up to Master's expectations and will become an immortal in the future!"

Seeing this, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "It's good that you understand! It's good that you understand!"

Then, his gaze fell on the bearded man and Zhou Yi, his expression shifting slightly, and he smiled and said, "If you are about to die young, I can suppress and seal you. If I truly become an immortal in the future, or if Ya'er truly becomes an immortal, I can come and help you become immortals together. I might even be able to lead you into the Immortal Realm together."

These words were clearly meant to entice the bearded man and Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he was genuinely excited. He took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable!"

Zhou Yi is persevering, hardworking, pragmatic, and capable. Among Ye Fan's classmates, besides Ye Fan, Zhou Yi is undoubtedly an elite talent. Pang Bo, Zhang Ziling, Wang Ziwen, and others are actually not as good as Zhou Yi.

Unfortunately, in the original version of Shrouding the Heavens, Zhou Yi had his own pride and was unwilling to rely on his old classmate Ye Fan, the Heavenly Emperor. He chose to fight alone in the universe, and his brilliant life ended in death.

But if Zhou Yi follows the right person, his future achievements may not be small. At least someone as persevering and hardworking as him, with someone to support him, will not be inferior to others.

At this moment, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, looked at Zhou Yi with admiration in his eyes. Ye Fan was able to support Zhang Wenchang and Pang Bo to achieve Dao in an unconventional way, and even become Emperors in the future. What was wrong with him supporting Zhou Yi?
Besides, he really needs someone like Zhou Yi to help him, and Zhou Yi is quite good! (End of Chapter)
