Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 326 The Struggle Between Mind and Body
A vast expanse of purple bamboo, winding paths leading to secluded spots, a misty white haze, and streaks of light flashing by like celestial beings—all create a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

As you venture deeper into the island, the aura of immortality intensifies, permeating the air with a unique Daoist essence that soothes the soul.

"Fairy sister, where are you taking me? We're not eloping, are we? But let me tell you, I have a family and I'm not a casual person."

Lin Fan's audacity is astonishing; he dared to mock a true immortal here. If anyone were to witness this, they would be utterly dumbfounded.

Without a doubt, he was teetering on the edge of death. If he angered the other party, they could crush him without even lifting a finger.

In fact, Lin Fan wasn't too worried. He came from the future, and if someone tried to act against the flow of time, they would definitely pay a heavy price.

It could even lead to unimaginable consequences.

For example, the Crimson King of the Otherworld not only failed to kill Shi Hao, but also nearly perished himself, and it took him an entire era to recover.

Furthermore, he felt that Fairy Qingyue wasn't that kind of person, otherwise she wouldn't have needed to invite him here alone.

As expected, Immortal Qingyue was not angry at all. She also dispelled the misty immortal fog that surrounded her, revealing a face that could topple mortal realms.

Lin Fan was immediately captivated; she was simply too beautiful, a beauty of unparalleled grace.

Generally speaking, once someone's cultivation reaches their level, it's difficult for physical beauty to truly seduce them, unless they are extremely alluring or their spiritual power is aroused.

Clearly, this woman was exceptionally beautiful and had a rare and captivating presence.

"Is this how you tricked your wife into your life, or rather, another flower similar to me?"

The Fairy of the Azure Moon turned around, her voice like celestial music from the heavens, so beautiful it was almost unreal.

She was dressed in light gauze, pure and flawless, with an oval face as white as mutton fat jade, eyes like stars, bright red lips, and hair as smooth as silk.

Lin Fan was taken aback, not expecting the other party to say that. He said, "Wrong, that's not lying. We're childhood sweethearts, inseparable since we were little."

"Oh, really?" Fairy Qingyue smiled, her stillness and movement both so ethereal and captivating, as if untouched by worldly concerns.

Behind her head, a bright blue moon appeared, dazzling and radiant, making her look like a deity from the beginning of creation, overlooking the world!

The two then walked forward while talking, looking like a perfect couple, which surprised many people.

"Heavens! Fairy Qingyue is traveling with a man!"

Of course, the two of them didn't care at all about the gazes of others.

Furthermore, during this process, it was mostly Fairy Qingyue who inquired about her past life, showing great enthusiasm.

"Do you believe in reincarnation?" Fairy Qingyue asked, seemingly taking the matter very seriously.

Her figure was graceful and slender, like a swaying lotus flower, radiating an amazing luster; even a long dress could not conceal her hazy curves.

"I believe it, and I don't!" Lin Fan's answer seemed contradictory.

"Oh?" Fairy Qingyue asked curiously.

"Belief stems from the existence of the cycle of reincarnation in the world, but no one has yet successfully navigated it and constructed a complete cycle of reincarnation in the human world."

"I don't believe it because I only respect my own path. Even if there really is a person who reincarnates, will he still be the same person after he is reincarnated?"

"To discard the body and retain the mind, or to discard the mind and retain the body, I see little difference."

For a moment, Lin Fan thought of an experiment conducted in a certain fox spirit world. This has always been a contradiction, and it all depends on how one defines it.

"The debate between mind and body is quite interesting. This is the first time I've heard such a conclusion. Your thinking is quite insightful!"

Fairy Qingyue praised, her tone gentle and melodious, like heavenly music echoing in people's hearts.

For the first time ever, Lin Fan was a little shy. The other person's beauty was truly mesmerizing, with bright, charming eyes and unparalleled grace.

"Then what do you think constitutes resurrecting a person?" After pondering for a moment, Lin Fan said, "Imagine the dead being reflected in the river of time, or reverse time and pull them out!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Qingyue sighed, thinking that he was being delusional. Even a Celestial King couldn't do this, nor could he bear the consequences.

As everyone knows, the river of time is mysterious and immovable. No one has ever seen anyone with this ability, not even Wuzhong, who cultivates the Great Dao of Time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be a Celestial King, but rather the legendary Celestial Emperor...

But does that realm really exist?
"Immortal Emperor..." Lin Fan opened his mouth, about to say yes.

In an instant, a thunderous roar erupted from the void, startling him greatly. Fortunately, a true immortal was there to protect him.

"Alright, I already know some things, no need to say more." Fairy Qingyue was beautiful and charming; it was she who dispersed the lightning with a single palm strike.

Lin Fan nodded. There are some things that really can't be said out loud, because the cause and effect are too great and may change the entire history of ancient times.

He then stayed in the Purple Bamboo Grove and talked with her for a long time, but some things involved taboos, so he could only give her subtle reminders.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, many people saw them traveling together, which aroused the envy of many cultivators.

Because the Fairy Qingyue was stunningly beautiful, like someone who had stepped out of a painting, ethereal and dreamlike. Even female cultivators felt ashamed of their own appearance, let alone men.

"Brother Xiao Fan is amazing, he even hooked up with a fairy..." Shi Hao exclaimed in amazement.

Beside him was an extremely beautiful woman, with a face as beautiful as a flower and three strands of celestial energy.

Clearly, this is a young supreme being, with a dignified demeanor and extraordinary speech, who comes from a powerful force.

In fact, her identity and background are also extremely extraordinary; she comes from the Changsheng Wang family—Wang Xuewei.

"Brother Huang, it seems you're quite envious?" Wang Xuewei said sarcastically.

"No...no, and I strongly condemn people who play both sides!" Shi Hao said righteously.

Then, he smiled and said, "Fairy Wang, when will you let me see your Wang family's pacification technique?"

“My Wang family’s ancestral supernatural abilities are not passed on to outsiders!” Wang Xuewei refused without hesitation.

Furthermore, she realized that this guy wasn't after her body at all, but rather the magic technique.

"No, let's make a deal. I can trade you the Grass Sword Technique or the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique."

"There is an ancestral rule that this must not be revealed to outsiders!"

"But I really need it. Otherwise, I'll make the painful decision to marry you now and become a family..."

Wang Xuewei was furious. She had never been so speechless before. What did she mean by enduring pain? Was she not good enough for him?

“I misspoke. I am completely worthy of you… no, I am unworthy of you, the jewel of the Changsheng family.”

Shi Hao's big eyes darted around, his mind full of mischief. He was going all out for the sake of this unparalleled magic technique.

Moreover, he had heard Lin Fan say that everything here was long gone, so he figured he might as well take advantage of it.

"Fairy Wang, please give me a chance?"

"Hmm, let me think... The ancestral precepts only say that it cannot be passed down in its entirety, right?"

Shi Hao nodded.

"How about... I pass on half of it? That wouldn't be considered a violation of the family rules..." Wang Xuewei muttered.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope for success.
