C1301 Difficulties in Distortion

What was an Immortal?!

In order to return to the mountain at dusk, one had to become an immortal; in order to become a horse in clothes, one had to become an immortal; at the peak of the clouds above the ninth heaven, one had to become an immortal; in order to become immortal after experiencing hundreds of generations of tribulations, one had to take the world's truth from the world and gather the spirit of heaven and earth. They had to become an immortal; the heart was the dao, no worries, and no worries; one's true nature was to become an immortal.

Immortal is the most local belief in China, meaning to be able to predict or know everything, omnipotent people. The concept of immortals had existed for a very long time in Chinese historical and cultural heritage. Since ancient times, there had always been such inheritances.

Even people like Chen Baian and Zhang SanKuang who practiced the art often thought about escaping. They would laugh bitterly and shake their heads at the thought of slipping away.

The reason for this was not because of anything else but because the group of immortals were invisible. Be it from an ancient book or from an inheritance of magic, there was no trace of them. It was because everyone thought that there was no such thing as an immortal. Instead, they treated it as a kind of faith.

Therefore, these thoughts would only appear when no one else was present. After wandering about in their hearts for a moment or two, they would disappear along with the wind.

But today, in this blizzard that blotted the skies, they had actually heard this piece of shocking news from Lin Bai's mouth!

There was actually such a thing as Immortality! In fact, after the path of Immortality was opened, there was a possibility that even they could reach Immortal Ascension! The wind and snow howled, the mountains were lonely and desolate. This scene was just like Chen Baian and the others' feelings. They could not use words to describe their feelings at this very moment. They did not know if they should be excited or distressed, because all of this had been replaced by amazement.

After all these years in the martial arts world, they were still called Earth Gods. However, only they themselves knew the difference between their title of "Immortal" and the actual Immortal!

They were well aware of Lin Bai's character. If he wasn't completely confident, he would never say such words from his own mouth. But if all the gods and buddhas in the world truly existed, if all that passage was broken through, how would they be able to live under the shine of the gods and buddhas? How would they be able to survive?! But if that passageway did not open, how would he be able to witness such a magnificent scene?

Starting from the Cultivation of Phases, there was a day in their hearts when they could achieve great things and achieve their dream of soaring through the sky. However, as he got older, that thought gradually disappeared and eventually became a joke. However, today, that possibility had appeared again so clearly. Where to go? This thought became the biggest doubt in the minds of Chen Baian, Zhang Sanming, and the others.

From Lin Bai's words and the degree of caution, they understood that Lin Bai did not wish for this passage to open up. However, they could not help but consider their own safety.

They were indeed able to deduce the principles of life. They were able to survey the earth meridians, control the heaven and earth origin energy, and even condense a Dharma Idol once they reached the Deity Stage. But even so, they could not be like the immortals. They could shine with the sun and moon, and live with the heavens and earth. Just this alone could be said to be the greatest temptation to them.

The human life span was limited, but the immortal life span was endless. To this day, Zhang Sanmeng and Chen Baian have come to understand the difficulty of accomplishing those incredible things in their limited lives. However, if they could live an endless life with unlimited time, then how many unimaginable things could they accomplish? Moreover, after attaining the Immortal lattice, would they be able to make up for the regrets they had in their past lives?

However, just as Lin Bai said, no one knew if the other side of the Immortal Road was as uneven as this world. Furthermore, based on the cultivation bases of the people on the other side of the river, even if there was only one Immortal with malicious thoughts, he would be able to trample over the people of this land like they were ants. In the eyes of these people, they were probably just a bunch of slightly stronger ants.

If that happened, the world would be thrown into chaos. No one knew which direction the balance would tilt towards. However, there was only one conclusion that could be predicted, and that was that these billions of people would have to submit to those people and live within fire and water.

These thoughts filled their hearts with an incomparable realism. Under the blizzard that blotted the sky, these thoughts continuously changed, causing the expressions on their faces to constantly change. Opening the Immortal Path might allow one to become an immortal, allowing them to have limitless longevity and complete endless tasks; however, it might also allow them to be trampled like ants and become the first batch of sacrifices …

This was a dilemma. No matter which path he chose, it would be difficult to choose. They had never felt so sad before. Money and power had long since lost their meaning, but their stronger strength and endless lifespan, their unprecedented prosperity, were like a hot potato that fell from the sky, sweet and attractive.

However, there was an incomparable sense of danger and terror under that sweet and alluring smell. Every step he took, he made would be wrong. Furthermore, he would never have the chance to turn back. He would only be in a place of no return!

Lin Bai was silent as he looked at the unsettled expressions on Chen Baian, Zhang SanKui, and the others. From the moment he made up his mind to tell them the truth, Lin Bai knew that this would definitely be the next scene.

It was because the news had turned everyone's mind upside down. It was also related to their dreams since they were young. Even Lin Bai himself had fallen into a dilemma after finding out about this from Chen Qiling. After being silent for a long time, he finally made a decision. Currently, he was waiting for the decision from the people around him.

This was like a diverging path that split apart. No one knew how difficult it was to make a decision before reaching a fork in the road.

"Elder Chen, two senior brothers, and Spiritual Master Changsheng, there's no need to worry about where you're going. Just follow the decisions you've made in your heart. I won't stop you, nor will I try to dissuade you." Gazing at the changing expressions of the crowd, Lin Bai softly sighed as he slowly spoke.

These words came from the depths of Lin Bai's heart, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy or hypocrisy. He knew very well how enticing the Immortal Path was. Even though he was friends with these people, he didn't know what choice they would make or whether they would stand against him.

However, even if they chose to stand against him, Lin Bai would not resent them, because people are not sages, so how could he not consider things for himself? But if they truly made such a decision, then all the things that had happened in the past would be wiped away today, and all the camaraderie would disappear. From now on, Tian Ya was a stranger.

There was nothing wrong with the choice, but it was not the same. Even when the time came for war to strike down, even when thinking of the past, his eyes would squint and his wrists would tremble, but where the blade was pointed at, there would still be a biting decision.

"Youngest junior brother, you are underestimating us too much. Do you think that I would be bewitched by that Lao Shi Immortal?" My fellow brothers, we live and die together, we live and die together. The choice you make is the choice I make! Even if there are tens of thousands of benefits to be gained by being an immortal, I don't care about it! We brothers stand shoulder to shoulder, this is the happiest thing in the world, even if you become Buddha and become immortals, it cannot be a substitute! "

What Lin Bai didn't expect was that the one who would be the first to make a decision would be the one with the least steadfastness of heart, Zhang Sanming. Furthermore, his words that were filled with passion and surging blood and full of brotherhood caused the corners of Lin Bai's eyes to moisten even more amidst the snow and wind.

"I've also lived for one or two hundred years. After I enter the Soul Formation stage, I'm afraid I'll still have some time to live." Other people only enjoy the joy of longevity, but I feel that longevity is bitter. If I really become an immortal, my lifespan will be endless, and the night will be endless, so how can I sleep? In my opinion, it's fine if he doesn't want to be an immortal. I'll just be an old man in the mortal world, accompanied by a wine gourd, a long sword, and a sword that can sweep away the entire world.

As soon as Zhang SanKuang finished his sentence, Chen Baian made a decision and laughed loudly. In terms of longevity, apart from the removal of the half-human half-Gu, Chen Baian was the one with the longest lifespan in this world. He was probably the only one who knew what it felt like to live for a long time. His lifespan was limitless, and he looked carefree and carefree, but the pain was in his heart. Only he knew that in the endless night, there were some hardships, some joys …

"What old friend Chen said is right. Longevity is indeed enviable, but even if I have longevity, so what? I know my character the best. I really can't do anything about Immortal Lao Shi." "Who would have thought that on the other side of the river, there would be such a thing. If this world were to be ruined, I wouldn't even be able to see Sophia and Qing Nannan. What kind of fun is this …"

The eldest son laughed heartily. As he had said, all his thoughts were now focused on Sophia and Li Qingnan, these two strange little girls. He only wanted to teach them wholeheartedly and fulfill his wish for the rest of his life. If he truly reached the other side and changed everything, his life would be much more enjoyable.

"Junior brother Lu, what do you think?" After everyone expressed their stance, Zhang SanKuang turned to look at Lu Yanzhao, whose face had already been covered by the snowstorm. He did not say a single word, wanting to hear what his thoughts were.

"Senior Brother Lu, you just need to follow your own heart and make your own choice. No matter what choice you make, we won't say anything." Lin Bai slowly stopped the interrogating Zhang Sanming and spoke softly. He knew that Lu Yanzhao was different from the rest of them. He was born into the war, and had lost both of his parents when he was young. He grew up by himself, and his heart was filled with determination.

"Immortal … I want to become an Immortal." After a moment of silence, Lu Yanzhao slowly opened his lips which had turned purple from the wind blowing on them, and muttered something that caused everyone's hair to stand on end, but before anyone could speak, he changed the subject, and slowly said: "But I finally have everything that I have now. I do not want to lose everything, if I want to become an immortal, I have to abandon everything, then wouldn't that be good!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the crowd in the arena burst into laughter. The laughter spread in all directions and lingered in the wind and snow for a long time.

It was hard to diverge from the path, but it was also hard to say. It wasn't hard to say, because wherever the heart went, there would be no path!
