Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

……

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then exchanged bewildered glances.

They were indeed aware of the Twenty-One Extremes, and the Impermanence of Life and Death was naturally one of them, but to say how well they understood this Extreme—

They really didn't know what the impermanence of life and death meant.

Yunping's next words almost made Jiang Yuetian and Lin Yuan, who were lying on the ground, jump up.

"If we're talking about the impermanence of life and death... you might not feel it much, but it has another identity—"

"what?"

Everyone immediately turned to look at them with curiosity.

Surrounded by curious gazes, Yun Ping said with a serious expression:

"His name is Gu Xingzhuo, and at the same time—"

"He is also the fourth student of our Yuntian Academy."

16. Purpose and Conversation

Jizhi is the fourth disciple of Yuntian Academy?

What does this mean?

That means that as one of the twenty-one ultimate beings, standing atop the mountain at the very beginning of this world's creation, it is itself a part of the structure of these three celestial domains—

Is he his old rogue's apprentice?

Throughout history, countless heroes and valiant figures have emerged, renowned throughout the world. Just by their names alone, any one of them would be worthy of being recorded in history and etched into legendary tales.

What about the ultimate?

In the beginning of creation, the two ancestors not only transformed the vast and desolate universe into countless ancient spirits with a wave of their hands, but also differentiated themselves from their own origins into several ultimate symbols representing the constituent elements.

In other words, the essence of these twenty-one extremes is a part of the Kunxuan Ancestor!

What does it mean to take someone of exceptional talent as a disciple?

It means that I am of a higher generation than the 21st generation. So who is of a higher status than the 21st generation in this world?

Without a doubt—

Those two patriarchs!

Meanwhile, within the Cloud Sky Academy, the young man in white robes, with a simple remark, had already elevated his status to the same level as the two Origin Ancestors.

"Teacher, what you said... is true?"

Duan Xingchen looked at Yun Ping with trembling fear in her eyes. She asked tentatively in a joking tone, "Fourth Senior Brother is the ultimate... such a thing... shouldn't be true, right?"

For an ordinary person to even catch a glimpse of such an existence as the Ultimate One is an immense stroke of luck, let alone to have any connection with it. If one could receive a few words of advice from the Ultimate One, that would be a truly rare and precious blessing.

It's quite difficult to convince Duan Xingchen that his senior brother is the ultimate.

however--

Not only Duan Xingchen, but even Jiang Shaoguang, who had had contact with Gu Xingzhuo, frowned.

"Fourth Brother has never mentioned this, and besides, his cultivation level is even lower than mine. Teacher... you wouldn't really be joking about this with us, would you?"

"I'm not joking."

Yunping's answer was as earnest as before.

He no longer wore that nonchalant, dead fish-like look, but instead adopted a serious attitude, his face becoming solemn, and his words resounding.

"The fourth brother is the ultimate life and death impermanence of the twenty-first. He didn't tell you because he has always been unwilling to admit his identity."

"Then his cultivation level..."

“His cultivation level was not faked, nor was it deliberately concealed.”

Yunping explained: "Life and death are different from other extremes. Other extremes are eternal and indestructible. As long as the physical form, spirit, or concept of existence remains in the world, they will not die."

“Life and death are not like the impermanence of the world. Just like his name, he is not immortal. In fact... he is always dying.”

"Killing all the time?"

Inside the room, Zhang Ruoxue, whose mind was a little unclear, felt as if she were listening to gibberish, unable to understand those four words no matter how hard she tried.

She scratched her head and then turned her gaze to Ye Yuchan beside her.

The silver-haired maid pondered for a long time, but the confusion in her eyes did not disappear as she thought about it.

She didn't understand either.

Perhaps sensing his disciples' confusion, Yunping didn't hold back and continued:

"Life and death are unpredictable; this ultimate state is arguably the most enigmatic of all, because its very existence is a state of being alive one moment and dead the next. If one had to put it into words..."

"Reincarnation—"

Yunping uttered these four words, which are enough to encompass the ultimate concept.

"This is the simplest interpretation of the impermanence of life and death."

"The fourth prince is the seventy-eighth generation holder of the imperial edict of life and death, and his existence is life and death itself."

"Imperial edict...?" Fan Luo Kui seemed to have heard this term before. She tried hard to recall it for a while. "Does it refer to the ultimate inheritance of creation?"

"Yes."

Although this is a blessing that only a very few people can possess, throughout history, almost everyone who has received such extreme favor has become a powerful and influential figure.

Because the inheritance of the Twenty-One Ultimate Creation is too profound, it can be said to be the most top-level creation in this world. Those who possess the ultimate creation can easily defeat enemies of higher levels, and they do not need to walk on thin ice when cultivating and breaking through.

Basically, they've received the ultimate blessing; all they need to do in this life is get through A.

"The inheritance and fortune that the fourth brother received was..."

"It is life."

Yun Ping took a deep breath and then revealed something that Gu Xingzhuo had never wanted to mention.

"The fourth brother... has actually been dead for decades."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned to surprise.

dead?!

Jiang Shaoguang, who had been in contact with Gu Xingzhuo for a period of time, suddenly changed his expression. He had obviously never expected that his junior brother, who was only one generation younger than him, was someone who had been resurrected from the hell of death.

Even the usually composed Prince Gu's expression became somewhat subtle.

"So, Fourth Senior Brother received the blessing of the impermanence of life and death, and therefore... was resurrected?"

“You could say that.” Yunping looked at Zhang Ruoxue and then said with some regret, “However, the impermanence of life and death can only revive the dead whose physical bodies are intact and whose souls are not completely destroyed. If either the soul or the physical body is missing, the deceased cannot receive the inheritance.”

"so……"

Zhang Ruoxue's expression dimmed slightly, and the glint in her eyes gradually faded after hearing the word "resurrection."

Yunping knew what she was thinking, but unfortunately...

That is impossible.

Just like the answer I received when I searched the world for a way to be reborn.

A sorrowful light flashed in his dark eyes. Yunping didn't dwell too much on the past, but focused all his attention on the events at hand.

"Just half a month ago, the fourth brother sent me a telepathic message, saying that he needed to go to the secret realm of the Extreme Heaven Domain to find a way to break through, and then he cut off contact with me."

"Just now, that kid Fang Tu told me that he discovered the aura of life and death in the demigod cemetery of the Lantian Empire."

"The fourth brother isn't one to wander around aimlessly. If he were to return to the Desolate Heaven Domain, he would definitely have informed me, but he didn't."

"Moreover, that demigod's tomb is very likely formed after the death of a demigod who entered the Dao through demonic means. It is not a good place."

"In summary--"

Yun Ping slammed his hands on the stone table, the muffled sound immediately putting all the Yun Tian Academy disciples on edge.

They could sense that Yun Ping was no longer the same as usual; a chilling aura emanated from his light white robe.

"Everyone must accompany me on this trip to the Immortal's Tomb."

"There is only one ultimate goal—"

"Find the fourth brother and bring him back from that hellhole unharmed."

……

That's what they said.

However, the sudden news and the huge amount of information still need time to settle.

Moreover, Yunping was not in a hurry to set off immediately, but gave everyone a night to prepare, and set off for the location of the Half-Immortal's Tomb the next morning.

midnight.

The moon is bright and the stars are few; a cold wind blows.

The front yard was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

However, in front of an ordinary wooden house, the silver-haired girl knocked on the door with some hesitation.

dong dong dong.

There was no response.

Ye Yuchan seemed a little puzzled. She looked up at the eaves and, after confirming that the person she was looking for wasn't drinking on the roof, knocked on the door three more times.

dong dong dong.

This time, there was a response.

"I've told you so many times, don't come to me to sell newspapers."

Ye Yuchan was taken aback by what she heard, and then said in an annoyed tone, "It's late at night, and what you're saying makes me think I've traveled back in time again."

"Isn't that great?"

As Yunping spoke, he opened the door and looked at the silver-haired girl standing in front of the door, her shoulders bathed in moonlight like flowing water.
