Does the destiny of this world allow only one person to become an immortal...
The moment he heard this question, Wei Changtian immediately recalled the story of "meeting an immortal in a dream" that he had made up to trick Qin Zhengqiu into killing Xiao Feng.
Looking at the latter's back, he subconsciously wanted to reply, "Of course it is true."
But just as the words came to his lips, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
Wait, why does Qin Zhengqiu ask this?
You must know that he does not know that Kui Long once gave birth to a true immortal. Even if he knew, that immortal would probably be no longer alive a thousand years ago.
In other words, from Qin Zhengqiu's perspective, there should be no immortals in the world.
So why does he care so much about "becoming an immortal"?
After all, under normal circumstances people don't care about issues that are too far away from their own lives.
For example, a farmer who works all day long only cares about the weather and the harvest, and does not care about the scientific phenomena behind the weather, rain or snow, or the natural laws of crop growth.
So since Qin Zhengqiu asked this question, it at least shows that he thinks "immortal" is not out of reach.
Could it be that my grandfather wanted to become an immortal?
But why should he??
Yes, with the help of the Moon Sword, Qin Zhengqiu has already stood on the top of ten thousand people. Now he may be only one step away from the first rank, or maybe he is already the first rank.
But no one in the world knows what conditions are needed to go from the first-level realm to a true immortal.
What about Qin Zhengqiu... Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Wei Changtian's Adam's apple squirmed, and for a moment he felt a chill down his spine.
It was only now that he realized something, which led to a terrifying conjecture...the conjecture about "Why Qin Zhengqiu didn't want real dragon forehead scales?"
Perhaps, what Qin Zhengqiu wanted was not the first level.
He just wants to become an immortal.
...
[True dragon forehead scale (special prop), can improve the user's level by one level, without any restrictions, 5000 points]
From the moment he obtained the True Dragon Forehead Scale, Wei Changtian's plan for using this item was to help him break through from the second level to the first level.
Although he had no choice but to use his forehead scales in advance in order to deal with Zhenshan Camp, he had indeed planned to do so before that.
And this undoubtedly means that in Wei Changtian's heart, the first-level realm is already the pinnacle of martial arts in this world.
There is actually nothing wrong with this idea.
Because in the original work, Xiao Feng was a first-class character who didn’t break through until the finale, and there was no description of a true immortal from beginning to end.
But when the Moon-Challenging Sword Technique appeared outside the plot, everything changed.
The Moon Sword can help people break through to the first level, while the True Dragon Forehead Scale can ignore any rules and raise the level to a great level.
So, what if you first use the Moon Sword to practice to the first level, and then use the forehead scale?
In the original work, it is mentioned that the first level is "half-immortal", then wouldn't it mean that if you go up to the next level, you would be a "true immortal"...
Wei Changtian had not thought about this matter carefully before. After all, he was only at the third level now and was still far away from this step.
What's more, he had already given up on the Moon Sword.
But he hasn't thought about it, which doesn't mean Qin Zhengqiu hasn't thought about it.
Perhaps the reason why the latter didn't ask for the real dragon's forehead scale in the first place was not because of any family ties, but simply because he didn't want to "waste" such a treasure.
Because if he had received the forehead scale at that time, he would have to use it immediately, and he would have lost the chance to become an immortal.
That's why Qin Zhengqiu deliberately refused, hoping to wait until he broke through to the first level before using this treasure to "become an immortal"!
"..."
The sun shines through the military tent and illuminates every corner of the tent.
But Wei Changtian's back was soaked with cold sweat at this time.
After thinking about it just now, several breaths of time have passed.
Qin Zhengqiu had already turned around slowly, waiting for his answer with an expressionless face.
"Grandpa..."
Forcibly suppressing the emotions in his heart, Wei Changtian knew that he had to say something now, so he asked hesitantly:
"Why do you ask this?"
"..."
Qin Zhengqiu did not answer his question, but asked again in a calm tone.
"Changtian, you don't need to worry about why I ask, just tell me whether this matter is true or false."
"This is what you said to me personally. I think you haven't forgotten it."
Grass!
really!
Looking at Qin Zhengqiu's expression, Wei Changtian understood that his guess was most likely true.
And as a result, he couldn't give a definite answer anyway.
Because in Qin Zhengqiu's view, his grandson is his "most powerful" competitor on the road to immortality!
So once Qin Zhengqiu believes that only one person in this world can become an immortal, his fate can be imagined.
Perhaps, the sword that the former used to kill three thousand soldiers with one move outside Guanghan City was not an "accidental killing" of himself...
"Grandpa."
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian slowly showed a struggling expression.
He deliberately did not look at Qin Zhengqiu, but half lowered his head and said "hardly":
"Actually, I made everything up about meeting immortals in my dream..."
"At that time, I had a life-and-death feud with Xiao Feng, but this man has great magical powers. I failed to kill him many times before."
"I wanted to ask Grandpa to help me eliminate my enemies, so I made up a story like this."
"fake?"
Upon hearing Wei Changtian's explanation, Qin Zhengqiu was just slightly stunned, and it was not clear from his expression whether he believed this rhetoric.
"Then why can you complete the three hundred steps of the Road to Heaven?"
"..."
"That's because in order to attract your attention, grandpa, I obtained a treasure in advance that can shield the breath."
Wei Changtian continued to make up with a "guilty" face: "I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect that this treasure can really deceive Tongtian Road..."
"Is it?"
Looking at Wei Changtian, Qin Zhengqiu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
But after a moment, his expression returned to normal, and he sighed softly:
"Oh, Changtian..."
"Actually, you don't have to go to such great lengths."
"I am your grandpa. If you ask me, I will help you. Why do you need to make up such a story?"
"Yes, I was confused at the time."
Following Qin Zhengqiu's words and admitting his mistake, Wei Changtian's eyes were quite "sincere": "Now I hope grandpa will forgive me."
"That's all, that's all."
Shaking his head, Qin Zhengqiu turned around and walked out of the military tent without saying anything more.
"Changtian, don't forget to discuss matters at Lingbo Pavilion the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, my grandson will never forget it."
Following Qin Zhengqiu out of the tent, Wei Changtian whispered back: "Grandpa, go slowly."
"Um."
"..."
The midday sun was dazzling, and many monsters were drinking water by the sand river, which was winding as far as the eye could see.
Soldiers came and went in the camp in an orderly manner, and the dust raised by their footsteps reflected the misty golden light.
Soon, Qin Zhengqiu's figure disappeared from the end of the field of vision.
After he left, the respectful look on Wei Changtian's face disappeared without a trace in just an instant.
Wei Changtian didn't know whether Qin Zhengqiu believed what he said, or whether Xu Suisui told him anything else.
But one thing is certain.
That is, even if Qin Zhengqiu didn't become possessed by the Moon Sword, his grandfather was no longer the "person" he had been before.
Sure enough, human beings' pursuit of stronger power is just like the pursuit of power.
Not only is it never-ending, but you can sacrifice everything for it.
