Chapter 225: Secrets and Conflicts for Immortality

Even Yi Beidou was shocked by what Cheng Zhihong said.

Immortality only exists in human legends.

Countless ancient people embarked on the path of spiritual practice just to pursue these four words. They were willing to research various methods, and even reincarnate from generation to generation, in order to preserve their own consciousness and personality.

But even if it is a corpse-reincarnating immortal, it is just a "fake immortality" and is equivalent to a crooked way in Yi Beidou's eyes.

But now, Cheng Zhihong told Yi Beidou that there are truly immortal people in this world.

You can stay in this world forever without changing your body.

Even though Yi Beidou's current strength has reached an extremely terrifying level, the immortality of his body is still an incredible thing for him.

If he used his demonic senses to explore, he would be able to sense that he would die in about one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty years.

You know, the immortality of the body is not just as simple as prolonging life. It means that certain constraints of the body are broken, and the body's cells can iterate and replicate indefinitely. This also means that over the long course of time, this kind of existence can continuously improve itself through self-transformation in the holy realm, making the body's strength reach unimaginable levels.

Perhaps, it is not impossible for the human body to withstand missiles or even nuclear bombs.

For example, it seems not impossible for some gods in ancient legends to move mountains, fill the sea, chase the stars and catch the moon.

"Are there really immortals in the world? If such people really existed, human society would not have been able to develop to its current level."

Yi Beidou asked.

The reason why humans have developed scientific and technological means and have the current social form is ultimately due to their own biological limitations.

The power is too weak, so various technologies and hot weapons are needed; life is too short, so a stable social order needs to be established to reproduce and pass on power, wealth and knowledge.
If there really are immortal people, and such people possess individual power that surpasses the current ethnic group, they do not have the reincarnation weakness like the corpse-reincarnated immortals, and their strength is stronger than that of the corpse-reincarnated immortals. There is no reason for them to hide behind the scenes, and they will definitely stand up openly and rule the world.

To a certain extent, such people no longer belong to the same species as ordinary humans, or even saints.

The current social system will be completely overturned.

The reason why humans value equality is because the gap between individuals is limited. Even if a saint possesses powers far beyond that of ordinary people, his body will still die when the time comes.

"No one has ever encountered a true earth immortal. What we have discovered and found are only the 'remains of earth immortals'. As for what these remains have experienced, why they died, and whether there are any truly immortal people in the world, no one can tell for sure. This is a mystery that needs to be explored. At least Yuna and I don't know."

"The remains of an earthly immortal, even if it is just a drop of blood or a small piece of skin tissue, are extremely rare. Even in secret organizations, in the hands of ancient people who have existed in secret for who knows how many years, such things are extremely rare."

"Among the many secret organizations in the world, the Pioneer Group seems to have the most complete 'Earth Immortal Remains'. They have conducted research and developed various technologies based on them. The catalyst for the super soldier comes from this."

"In today's world, more and more ancients are showing up at the risk of their lives, and various secret organizations are becoming more and more active. This is also related to the 'remains of the earthly immortals'. In the past, human exploration of the world was extremely limited. It can even be said that ordinary people were almost not qualified to explore the world. Even those ancients who have lived for thousands of years need to rush around for resources and practice for reincarnation, and the time they can actually use to explore the secrets of the world is very little."

"But nowadays, human resources are becoming more and more abundant, and since the Industrial Revolution, the level of science and technology has become more and more advanced. Places that ordinary people could not reach before can now be reached with the power of science and technology. As long as there are suitable mechanical equipment, the exploration ability of one person can be comparable to that of thousands or even tens of thousands of people in the past. Some of the mysteries of this world are gradually being unveiled. Therefore, more and more secret organizations are beginning to reach out to the public, borrowing the power of this world trend to achieve their goals."

Cheng Zhihong shook his head and said, revealing a lot of secrets that Yi Beidou didn't know before, and even the Donghua officials were not very clear about.

This way, a lot of things can make sense.

In the past, the fighting power of reincarnated people, especially the ancient ones, has surpassed that of secular dynasties. Ordinary people are no different from ants to them who are at the peak of their lives. In order to avoid being contaminated by too much cause and effect, which would lead to the backlash of cause and effect and their death, they often adopt a shunned attitude, practicing in secret and exploring the secrets that exist in the world.

Some ancient people communicated through special methods, exchanging their cultivation experiences and exploring information about certain secret events related to "Earth Immortals" in order to achieve mutual benefit, thus forming secret organizations hidden beneath the surface of the world.

To them, perhaps only the members of these secret organizations can truly be considered their kind.

With the development of the times, the West was the first to start the Industrial Revolution. Human society entered a new era and began to develop at an unimaginable speed. Even the ancients did not expect that in just less than three hundred years, the technological development of human society would reach the point where even they at its peak would have to be cautious and act with fear.

This made these secret organizations feel a crisis, but also smelled an opportunity, so they began to be more active than ever before, gradually extending their tentacles to the front at the risk of their lives, mobilizing the power of human society to explore the deep secrets of this world.

The Pioneer Group is the most typical representative.

On the one hand, they used the "remains of earthly immortals" collected by the ancients behind the scenes, and did not hesitate to abandon morality to conduct human body research, and even captured saintly masters around the world for this purpose.

On the other hand, it is to use industrial power to explore the secrets of the world in order to obtain more ancient information and the remains of earth immortals.

All of this is to pave the way for them to enter a stronger realm and gain a longer life.

The current society and the undercurrents hidden beneath it suddenly appeared in Yi Beidou's mind with extremely clear context, giving him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

However, a deeper mystery arises with this.

So, where did the so-called "remains of earthly immortals" come from?

Prehistoric civilization? Myths and legends? Even alien life?
In fact, there are indeed many things in human history that cannot be explained.

Some legends of ancient civilizations and their highly developed technologies, some books that have been passed down for a long time but cannot be found in the source or in reality
To a certain extent, even though human civilization is very developed today, we still cannot say that we have discovered all the secrets of the earth.

"Are you sure those immortal organizations belong to humans? And not other creatures? And why are they named 'Earth Immortals'?"

Yi Beidou continued to ask.

"Of course we can confirm that it belongs to a human. According to the intelligence we have, the most complete earth immortal remains in the hands of the Pioneer Group is a human finger."

"As for the name 'Earth Immortal', perhaps the name is different in other parts of the world, but the name we know comes from being passed down from generation to generation."

Yuna began to explain.

"Passed down from generation to generation?"

Hearing what the two said, Yi Beidou raised his eyebrows slightly. This organization called "Dark Vine" seemed to have a long history. If it was able to fight against the Ancients, then its top leaders should at least have the strength of the Ancients and have a corresponding history.

He is very interested in the truths buried deep in the world and the secrets hidden in the dust of history.

"Mr. Yi, this is the only information we can tell you. The rest involves secret intelligence within our organization. We won't tell you whether we know it or not. Even if we do, we can't reveal it casually. This is the greatest sincerity we can show."

Cheng Zhihong looked at Yi Beidou sincerely and said.

Yi Beidou nodded slightly upon hearing this, but did not force it.

He has always been a person who treats others with sincerity when they treat him sincerely. Although these two people are testing him in a hidden way, their attitude seems to be good at the moment, and he will not force the other party to do something they don't want to do.

"So, you said you came to Japan to cooperate with me? How do you want to cooperate?"

Yi Beidou asked.

"Of course, we are fighting against the Ancients and secret organizations. Over the years, more and more secret organizations have surfaced and have had a growing impact on the secular world. Especially organizations like the Pioneer Group, which will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Once they truly obtain the ultimate secret, it will be a disaster for the world. All civilizations of the time will be overturned, humans will be ruled by a few individuals, and the entire race will lose hope of rising."

"To do this, we need a strong combat force to deal with increasingly powerful opponents. We can provide you with intelligence about the Pioneer Group and some secret organizations. Correspondingly, we hope you can help us when we need it."

Cheng Zhihong said.

"It sounds like a fair deal. In that case, give me all the information you have about the 'Domain Master' behind this country. As an ancient being and an important member of the Pioneer Group, he should be the target you want to deal with, right?"

Yi Beidou said.

If what the other party said was true, he wouldn't mind cooperating with each other and getting what they needed. After all, he was alone and it was very difficult for him to obtain the relevant information.

For example, now in Japan, even though he has caused chaos, the people hiding in the dark can still remain patient and not reveal any flaws.

The stronger he becomes, the more the world will avoid him.

Because in the eyes of the ancients, although he is powerful, he only has one life, which is no more than a hundred years. There is no fundamental interest conflict between the two sides, so what's the point of letting him dominate the world?

Even if there are conflicts of interest, as long as they do not touch the core, those old silver coins can hide in the dark and there will be nothing to worry about if they are patient.

But now, he has learned some secrets and the fundamental demands of these ancients. As long as he uses this organization as a starting point to get involved and touches on their core interests, they can no longer hide or ignore them.

"In fact, I don't recommend you to go looking for trouble with that person. He has been entrenched in Japan for many years and is very well hidden. Especially for someone who can become a 'domain master', his strength in the area he belongs to is even more difficult to guess. The secret world is like the divine realm, which is not an empty talk. This is also the reason why that person almost never leaves Japan."

Cheng Zhihong said in a deep voice.

The world situation is not right now. Many ancient ones seem to be taking actions. Their leaders and several important senior officials have disappeared as a result. However, the domain lord of Japan, as an old ancient one, is still staying in Japan, which is a good example.

It is not a wise choice to rashly break into someone else's nest.

Even other ancient beings would not dare to do such a rash thing.

Otherwise, that person would not have been able to occupy Japan for so many years and remain standing.

"This is my business. Since I have come to this country, how can I start something with a bang and then not finish it? This is our first transaction. I need to use this to determine whether your intelligence is valuable to me. You can also observe whether I am worth your efforts. This is a win-win situation, isn't it?"

Yi Beidou looked calm and was not moved at all.

He always meant what he said.

This time I came to Japan, on the one hand to measure the country's martial arts, and on the other hand it was for the branch of the Pioneer Group and the Ancients.

Today, Japanese martial arts have lost their ability to fight, and even the Japanese government has to bow to it, so only this last goal has not been achieved.

"You should think twice. Things are not as simple as you think."

Yuna wanted to say something else. She felt that perhaps Yi Beidou was doing too well in Japan, which made him a little too arrogant.

No matter how big a storm everything he did caused, it was only a storm in the secular world.

The difference between the secular world and the secret world is like the difference between the mortal world and the heavenly world.

However, before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Cheng Zhihong.

Cheng Zhihong winked at her, telling her to stop talking and let him handle everything.

He had already seen that Yi Beidou had a domineering personality. If he refused, there would be no possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

It would be better to let him try. Regardless of whether they can find the guy who is hiding so deeply, even if they really find him in danger, with the strength of the three of them, it should not be a problem to escape.

For this extremely capable young man, he was willing to take some risks.

"We do know a lot about this domain lord of Japan, because he has been using his power to influence the secular world for a long time, and has always been one of our targets."

"We don't know the exact year and time of his enlightenment and his lifetime, but we know that he has a deep connection with the Japanese royal family. We speculate that his true identity is closely related to the Qin Dynasty Taoist Xu Fu's voyage to Japan."

"This person is most likely a descendant of Xu Fu and the Japanese royal family. We can't even rule out the possibility that he is Xu Fu himself."

Cheng Zhihong said in a low voice.
