From waterfowl, it began to transform into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

A sea of ​​flowers greets you.

The Azure Lotus Immortal strode over and patted the Purple Bamboo Immortal on the back. His tone was also much lower.

"Senior brother, things have come to this. We wood cultivators cultivate tranquility and health. Anger harms the liver. I hope you will allow my nephew to be laid to rest in peace."

The Azure Lotus Immortal had white hair at his temples and a sorrowful expression on his face.

Gu Heting then realized that immortals could speak just like humans.

Although it was meant to comfort them, it was only a psychological reassurance.

original.

Even immortals are human, and it is difficult for them to transcend the mortal world.

What is there to transcend the mortal world?

Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and so do immortals.

"I know....."

"I know....."

"I know... but I can't believe things have gotten this far. Purple Bamboo Peak has never seen anything like this in all these years. How am I supposed to explain this to the Supreme Ancestor?"

The three consecutive sentences, "I know," perfectly encapsulate the impermanence of life.

His expression resembled that of an old woman who had lost her son. Even his voice became softer. The Purple Bamboo Immortal wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The three of them turned their gaze to Gu Heting.

However, he no longer possessed the superior air of a Nascent Soul cultivator; instead, he resembled an old man from the mortal realm. In just a few hours, Gu Heting felt that he seemed to have aged considerably.

He pulled a dark purple Japanese knotweed from his sleeve.

With a bang.

A slender purple bamboo was stuck in the ground, still bearing Lü Pingyang's ring. A faint rumble of thunder emanated from the bamboo, making it difficult for Gu Heting to open his eyes.

"This is called Purple Sun Thunder Bamboo. Whether you take root in the soil and cultivate it anew, or you forge it into a magical artifact, it's up to you."

"It was originally meant to be passed down to my apprentice, but it's no longer useful."

"Here, take it."

The Purple Bamboo Immortal's actions left Gu Heting somewhat apprehensive. He turned his head and glanced at the River Swallowing Fish by the riverbank.

The newcomer has already gone this far, how could I refuse? He opened his eyes. Tunjiangyu nodded. Gu Heting didn't say thank you; he walked towards the bamboo sections and said, "It's too precious, senior."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mei, whose eyes were tightly closed, slightly opened them.

Without uttering a word, she curiously sized up Gu Heting. Both immortals were worldly-wise and were quite curious as well.

These water birds and strange beasts can speak.

This goes against the laws of nature.

However, this occasion is not suitable for seeking guidance from a teacher.

Having lost their senior disciple, the two did not wish to say more. The three of them followed the crack in the blessed land of Dongting and stepped into the air.

Just before leaving, the Azure Lotus Immortal turned back and said, "Hey? You little crane-feather bird, if you have time, take this token. The Azure Wood Immortal Sect has a guardian beast that might be able to enlighten you."

With a snap, the token fell to the ground.

The immortal had vanished without a trace. Gu Heting and the dazed Tunjiangyu exchanged a glance. Both hesitated, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Old Fish, Old Fish, do you think immortals can also feel sadness?" Gu Heting took out the ring and put the token and purple bamboo back into it.

"His mantle had no successor; by his generation, the lineage was gone. How could it be gone? Immortals are not devoid of emotions and love."

Swallowing the River Fish closed its eyes, only feeling that this trip had been really close.

I was almost struck by that purple lightning.

Fortunately, the Green Wood Immortal Sect can be considered a prestigious and righteous sect.

Although it is not a sect that widely recruits talented people, it has stood for ten thousand years and can be regarded as a classic old sect.

Fortunately, those who came this time were all old-fashioned people who could reason with a little.

Instead, replace them with those infamous demonic sect cultivators.

They'll probably be skinned alive and turned into medicinal ingredients.

"It seems that a Nascent Soul cultivator really can summon wind and sea. Old Fish, when can you take human form?"

Gu Heting has only been here for a year.

There are many truths he doesn't quite understand yet. But the River-Swallowing Fish has already lived for a thousand years, and he even suspects that his own life is coming to an end. In another hundred years, it will all be over.

The lifespans of monsters and humans are not the same.

The lifespan of mythical beasts in the celestial realm is three times that of humans.

However, the Core Formation stage locks in one's lifespan.

The River-Swallowing Fish only wanted to enjoy its twilight years. It had witnessed nearly a thousand sunrises and sunsets in this blessed land of Dongting. Many things had long since become habits.

Right and wrong, and all the evils of the world.

I've tasted it before when I traveled with my master, but now... Ah, he just wants to enjoy his old age in peace.

Swallowing River Fish Whale Li tilted his head: "Little brat, you take the Nascent Soul stage too lightly. Just like that Purple Bamboo Immortal said, what is the Nascent Soul Tribulation?"

"One must overcome three calamities and six tribulations, withstand heavenly lightning, and break through the incarnation to ascend to the Nascent Soul Celestial Immortal realm."

"Do you think the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation is just a few bolts of lightning striking you? There aren't many Great Demons who can transform into human form in this world."

Perhaps Gu Heting's starting point was too high.

He was born in the blessed land of Dongting.

Moreover, on Changsha Island in the blessed land of Dongting, there is a Crimson Fire Dragon that is about to take human form.

In other words, this blessed land of Dongting has these conditions.

In other countries, an entire continent might not produce even one Nascent Soul cultivator. Let alone the still-developing demon race.

The strange beasts and great demons have no human sects.

Ultimately, they're no different from the rogue cultivators in the mortal realm. How many rogue cultivators in the world have reached the Nascent Soul stage?

"Alas, I'm old, I can't take such a shock. Little one, I'm going to sink into the river and take a nap. You can explore this purple thunder bamboo yourself."

After saying this, the river-swallowing fish plunged headfirst into the riverbed by the lake.

The rolling white water submerged it.

After the waves subsided, all was quiet. Gu Heting's tense expression finally relaxed for a moment. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.

The pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivator was simply too great.

The thunder that can be heard with just a wave of the hand can destroy an entire region.

"I'm so tired."

Gu Heting glanced back at the long, purple bamboo and, to be honest, felt a little envious.

Cultivators ride the clouds and mist, roaming the heavens.

Who wouldn't want to become a cultivator after coming into this world?

"Summoning heavenly thunder, treading on green lotus, drifting white snow. How stylish, how impressive!"

"I wish I could be like that someday."

Gu Heting closed his eyes slightly as he suddenly pondered the purpose of his cultivation: to attain immortality or something else?

Perhaps it's about immortality.
