No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 141 Immortals Are Not Like This

Listening to Taoist Qinghua's solemn words, the atmosphere in the hall turned cold.

In the world of immortal cultivation, Taoist Qinghua has a sect, disciples, and the Qinghua Sword.

As long as he can adapt to the world of immortal cultivation, he will still be the most powerful swordsman and the most powerful cultivator.

He wanted to kill all the people who escaped from the fairy world, because he knew that if he let those immortals go, the world of cultivating immortals would become a mess just like the fairy world.

His disciples and followers never had a single day of peace.

“Reporting to the master, my junior brother Lan Ran and I have been hunting down some immortals who have sneaked in over the years…” Lan Dai opened his mouth and told what he and Lan Ran had done over the years.

Taoist Qinghua listened very carefully, as he also wanted to hear what his disciples were doing.

It was not until he talked about the Alchemy Immortal and the Gambling Immortal that Lan Dai explained it clearly.

"Hehe...you are just a bunch of rats crossing the street. You have done a good job!" Taoist Qinghua was very disdainful of the immortals that Lan Dai mentioned, but he very much agreed with what Lan Dai and Lan Ran did.

"Ancestor, I want to ask..." Lan Dai looked at Qinghua Taoist, looked at the ancestors of all generations, gritted his teeth and asked: "Ancestor, are all immortals like this?"

Are all immortals like this?
Just for myself, I can do anything.

In order to cultivate and possess others, the Alchemy Immortal passed on his flawed skills to others and slaughtered mortals wantonly. The Gambling Immortal tricked others into killing each other for gambling.

He also saw an immortal who transformed himself into a mountain god and made the villagers perform tedious human sacrifices every twelve years just to appreciate the ritual of the sacrifice and find a little fun in it.

He felt ashamed of what these immortals did!
Therefore, he killed without mercy.

But he had a doubt in his mind.

Is this what an immortal is like?
Is this what the end result of cultivating immortals is?

This is very different from the immortals he knows.

Taoist Qinghua looked at Lan Dai and said gently, "Of course not."

"No one has ever stipulated that immortals must be this way or that way. But no matter what, immortals should be free and unfettered, and free and at ease."

"But such freedom and ease cannot be based on harming others."

"If you can only be happy and free from restraint and be at ease by hurting and bullying others, then you are not an immortal."

"That's a pest, that's a scum fairy."

"In the fairy world, there are many fairies who are not like this. When they first ascended, they were also simple and kind-hearted."

"It's just that... the atmosphere in the fairy world is not very good. Honest and ordinary fairies always suffer losses."

"It is simple and honest, and is always bullied."

"Being kind-hearted always gets taken advantage of."

"Over time, they change from victims to perpetrators."

“There are very few people who can stand the test of wind and rain without changing their original intention.”

"And these people are all resisting on the front lines. So, what you see are some scum and villains among the immortals." Taoist Qinghua patiently explained to Lan Dai.

What kind of character does an immortal have who can escape from a battlefield?
They have already escaped to the world of immortal cultivation, so what else can they be particular about? Naturally, they will do whatever it takes.

Just as Taoist Qinghua said, those who are responsible and capable of taking on responsibilities have already been fighting on the front lines.

"Why is the atmosphere in the fairy world so bad?" Lan Dai asked again.

He knew from "Ancestor's Sayings" that the morals in the fairy world were rather bad, but he was also puzzled: if the fairy world was not where the immortals lived, could the morals also be bad?

"Because..." Taoist Qinghua said, "Because there are too many immortals in the immortal world."

"Too much?" Blue Ribbon was puzzled.

Taoist Qinghua recalled: "When I first ascended to the fairyland, the fairyland... was worse than it is now." "At that time, I found a famous mountain and elegant water. Just as I was about to settle down, I was warned by the immortals in the mountain."

"He got the Immortal Mountain as a reward from some emperor or star god!"

"Since the famous mountain has an owner, you can't just come and kill the owner and then occupy the mountain, right? Then what would I become?"

"So I left."

"Later, I wandered around and gradually understood. The fairyland is huge, with countless mountains and rivers, but every mountain and every river has an owner."

"For those of us who ascended later, we cannot find a mountain or a river without an owner."

"Actually, wandering around isn't so bad!"

"It's just that the Immortal Realm and other worlds are getting more and more monks from other worlds ascending to the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm has become chaotic."

"Can you bear to practice for a thousand years, only to ascend to the immortal world and wander around?"

"I can tolerate it, but some people can't tolerate it."

"Plus, the innate gods at that time looked down on us, the later immortals, and secretly used conspiracies and tricks to instigate us everywhere. The war was about to break out!"

"Finally, the immortal world started fighting."

"Once the flames of war start, they won't disappear so easily. After so many years of fighting, I once doubted that this bloody war would never end. I once doubted that I would die in it."

"But the bloody battle is over, and I became the Qinghua Emperor for no apparent reason."

"The Immortal Realm has become a structure dominated by the Four Great Emperors."

"Except for me, many people who survived found that many mountains, rivers and lakes were ownerless. During that period, the atmosphere in the fairy world was very good."

"Everyone is respectful and courteous."

"As time went by, more and more immortals ascended to the fairyland. The fairyland became like this."

"Intrigue and deception, only by being more despicable can you survive, and only by being more shameless can you gain more benefits!"

“When that day comes, there may be another round of killing disasters, and only then can the fairy world be peaceful.”

"This is the calamity of the immortal world!"

"You understand, right?" Taoist Qinghua said a lot, all of which were observations and summaries of the fairy world from his perspective.

Taoist Lan Dai was so smart that he understood it immediately.

The cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation can ascend to the fairyland, and those who do not ascend will die of old age and will not continue to occupy resources.

And what about the fairyland?

Immortals are immortal! Immortals will not die naturally!
There is only one way for them to die, and that is to be killed!
Just like a forest, when there were few wild animals, each had its own territory and lived in peace. But as more and more wild animals came into the forest, they started to kill each other for territory, for food, and for survival.

The immortals pursue freedom and ease, but finally have to kill each other in the immortal world.

It's really ironic.

"Although the fairyland is vast, there is no place to live freely!" Lan Dai shook his head.

Taoist Qinghua said: "Unless there is only one person in the world, otherwise, wherever there are people, there will be disputes."

"Being free and easy is just a way to avoid the world. If this world is really what we want, then everywhere would be perfect!"

"What kind of immortal is this?"

There is inherent contradiction between immortals and the world, between people in the mountains and people in the world.
