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.
There are records among the people that 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 fact, it mainly depends on the fate between oneself and 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 qi," 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 was a large copper vat filled with water.
"Master, please." Li Bitong gestured, and she and Li Yihang jumped up slightly 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.
His eyes lit up, and he saw that he was standing on a high cliff. The cliff 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. 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, giving him a very fairy-like air.
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 was a Go game, and the one facing him was a white chess piece.
He knew the art of chess, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he had already counted the moves on the board, and it happened to be 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 in thought from time to time.
Finally, Xu Mochen made a move, and Li Chunfeng stayed there for a long time. He actually smiled with satisfaction and said, "Young master, let's talk about it. I will benefit a lot."
"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. Now he has entered the immortal world. In time, he will definitely have a place 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, Master, why do you stand alone?"
From ancient times to the present, no matter whether the world is unified or divided, emperors of all dynasties have silently served the immortal cultivators.
No one cares about wine ponds, meat forests, and ecstasy.
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, but the collateral lineage joins the immortality, which complements each other, but does not join the immortality sect.
Could it be 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 from now on I could transcend the Five Elements and Six Realms, attain the Dao, ascend to the realm and realize the Great Dao.
However, as the cultivation of immortality gradually went further and further, I realized that cultivating immortality was really going against the will of heaven.
If you don't have enough spiritual energy, you can refine it into energy, but immortality can really only be said to depend on personal fate.
If you are not destined to be immortal, even if you are amazingly talented, you will eventually be resolved and re-enter reincarnation.
However, 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 being destined to 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 and leave me one by one. Now, I am left alone.
For the juniors over there, I actually don’t even know what to call them.
Young Master, look, isn’t it ridiculous?
Cultivation into immortality has turned oneself 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: "It is normal to ask such a question about the young master's identity.
In the world of ten directions, 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 of human origin.
Immortal cultivators lead the human race to prosperity, which means that many things may not be hidden.
After all, once the magical power is used, it is a real thing.
At that time, Young Master, just imagine, if everyone in the human race knew about the matter of cultivating immortals, and there were countless people cultivating immortals and searching for the path, would there be anyone willing to work hard as a mortal? "
Xu Mochen was silent. Yes, it is often said that people can do it but not know it.
Once everyone knows that this world can lead to immortality and longevity, 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 all have 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 the people of the human race, will there be any problems with this world?"
