Chapter 31 Immortal cultivators cannot lead the human race to prosper
Li Bitong led the two of them in and said as they walked: "That's not necessarily the case. Immortal fate is originally condensed from the essence of heaven and earth. It is ever-changing. If there is no fate, you won't be able to recognize it even in front of your eyes.
According to folk records, mortals accidentally swallowed strange flowers and fruits and became immortals. In fact, what they encountered was the fate of immortals.
Many immortal cultivators choose to live in the mortal world. They call it the tribulation of transcending the mortal world. In fact, their purpose is to achieve immortality.
So what the young master said is just a situation that increases the possibility, but in reality, it mainly depends on your fate with the immortal way."
Xu Mochen understood now. No wonder cultivators and mortals only have a vague relationship, because there is no guarantee that helping mortals will definitely lead to immortality.
"It's just that the prosperity of the human race can indeed increase additional immortality, as well as food, faith, incense, etc. to refine the energy," Li Bitong said truthfully, "so the relationship between them is actually very complicated.
If you have any other questions, you can ask the ancestor later. My cultivation is shallow and I can only answer some superficial questions."
Xu Mochen stopped talking and followed Li Bitong to the courtyard of the house.
In the center of the yard, there is a large copper vat filled with water.
"Master, please." Li Bitong gestured, and she and Li Yihang jumped up lightly and disappeared on the surface of the copper cylinder.
This is a place where the gods are hidden, and Xu Mochen is no longer surprised.
He and Tang Derun also wrapped themselves in spiritual consciousness and jumped in at the same time.
My eyes lit up, and I saw that I was standing on a high cliff, which went straight into the clouds, and was surrounded by clouds and mist.
The spiritual energy floating in the air is much thicker than in the normal world. It is a small blessed place.
Xu Mochen looked up and saw a protruding cliff in front of him, with a sea of clouds rolling below him. An old man in a robe was sitting cross-legged.
The gentle breeze blew by, and the old man's beard and hair were fluttering lightly, and his robes were fluttering, making him feel like an immortal.
Li Bitong and Li Yihang stepped forward and saluted: "Ancestor, the young master has arrived."
This old man is Li Chunfeng, the founder of the Li family in Qizhou.
Li Chunfeng opened his eyes and nodded slightly to Xu Mochen: "Sir, please forgive me for being rude."
Xu Mochen stepped forward, and when he got closer, he saw that in front of Li Chunfeng, there was a Go game, and the one facing him was white.
He knew the art of chess, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he had already counted the moves on the board, and it was White's turn to move.
Xu Mochen also sat cross-legged. He stared at the chessboard seriously for a while, then twisted a white word and dropped it on the chessboard.
"Well, I have never thought about this step before." Li Chunfeng lowered his head to study as he spoke. After thinking for a while, he replied.
Tang Derun and the others looked at each other in confusion. Why did these two people suddenly start playing Go when they met?
But they are the bosses, and it is not their turn to dictate what they do.
This game of Go was quite time-consuming. The two people were concentrating on each other without saying a word. However, as time passed, each other's moves became faster and faster.
Xu Mochen always had a faint smile on his face, but Li Chunfeng raised his eyebrows and pondered from time to time.
Finally, Xu Mochen made a move, and Li Chunfeng stayed there for a long time. He actually smiled with satisfaction: "I have benefited a lot from the young master's hand in negotiating a round."
"Senior is too modest," Xu Mochen's expression remained unchanged, "I'm just a junior, I have a lot of confusion, I hope my senior can give me advice."
"Young master, you don't have to be too modest," Li Chunfeng smiled, "In just one game, you can already see that your master is extremely intelligent, and now he has entered the immortal world. Given time, you will definitely have a place for him in the immortal world."
"I didn't enter the immortal way to cultivate immortality," Xu Mochen's attitude was very clear, "Senior knows my situation. If I don't have the ability to protect myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for long."
Li Chunfeng stared at Xu Mochen for a while: "May I ask, Sir, why do you stand alone?"
From ancient times to the present, whether the world is unified or divided, emperors of all dynasties have silently served the immortal cultivators.
Even if there is a wine pool and a forest of meat, no one will care about it.
Where do you have the courage to think about going against an immortal cultivator?
Xu Mochen smiled: "With all due respect, I would also like to ask, why did the senior set such rules for the Qizhou Li family?"
The Li family in Qizhou, the direct lineage does not practice immortality, and the side lineage enters the immortality, which complements each other, but does not enter the immortality sect.
Isn’t it true that the longevity brought by cultivating immortals, which lasts for hundreds or thousands of years, isn’t great?
Li Chunfeng sighed: "Young master, it's not surprising to think so. When I first entered the Immortal Way, I was also extremely pleasantly surprised, thinking that I could transcend the Five Elements and Six Realms, attain the Tao, ascend to the realm and realize the Great Dao.
However, as the cultivation of immortality gradually went further and further, I discovered that cultivating immortality was really going against nature.
If you don't have enough spiritual energy, you can refine it and turn it into energy, but the immortal fate can really only be said to depend on personal fate.
There is no destiny for you to be immortal, even if you are amazingly talented, you will eventually end up being dissolved and re-entering reincarnation.
But, what does it mean to have a destiny with the immortal way? It is said that all of this is the operation of the heavenly way."
Xu Mochen was silent.
"Later," Li Chunfeng smiled bitterly, "I entered the court and became an official, became tainted with the secular world, married a wife and had children.
As a result, the children have no chance of immortality, and some of them have a shallow connection, but they won’t be able to leave for long. I watched them die of old age one by one and leave me. Now, I am left alone.
In fact, I don’t even know what to call the juniors over there.
Young Master, look, isn’t it ridiculous?
If you cultivate yourself to become an immortal, you will turn yourself into a joke."
Xu Mochen took a deep breath: "Senior, I just asked you something. Immortal cultivators still have a relationship with the human race. So why don't the immortal cultivators think about fully helping the human race to prosper?"
Li Chunfeng smiled: "As for the identity of the young master, it is normal to ask such a question.
In the world of ten directions, among them, the five major factions of the Xianxia World, the Buddhist Cultivation World, the Wenfa Sect, the Magician Sect, and the Natural Sect are basically all immortal cultivators transformed from human races.
The non-human ones are the world of monsters, elves, five elements, netherworld, and demons.
There are three sects and two domains in the Five Realms, half of which are from the human race.
Immortal cultivators lead the human race to prosperity, which means that many things may not be hidden.
After all, once a magical power is used, it is a real thing.
When that time comes, Young Master, just imagine, if everyone in the human race knows about the matter of cultivating immortals, there are countless people cultivating immortals and countless people seeking the path, and there are still people who are willing to work hard as mortals."
Xu Mochen was silent. Yes, it is often said that people can do it but not know it.
Once everyone knows that in this world one can cultivate immortality and live a long life, who will want to be an ordinary person?
Regardless of whether there is an opportunity or not, we have to give it a try.
"So, immortal cultivators have their own reasons for preventing and controlling mortals," Li Chunfeng said frankly, "and those who entered the immortal path from mortals are all connected by special opportunities.
Only in this way can we maintain the stability of the world."
A world where everyone cultivates immortality is impossible to exist based on the resource distribution structure.
Xu Mochen laughed when he heard the last part: "Senior, if the people who lead the prosperity of the human race are from the human race, will there be any problems with this world?"
