How long a monk can live depends on his cultivation. The so-called "immortality" is only relative to ordinary people. There is almost no such thing as "eternal life". The legendary "live as long as heaven and earth" is nonsense. Unless you become the Tao, heaven and man will eventually come to an end, and the five declines will come. No matter what your cultivation level is, you will still turn into a speck of dust.
But one or two thousand years is not out of reach for monks. For a monk like Zhang Yan, if he works harder and doesn't seek his own death, it won't be a big problem for him to live peacefully for two thousand years.
What about the warriors? Comparing it to its similar physical cultivation, Zhang Yan's technical cultivation is similar to that of a Shinto monk. When one reaches a certain level of cultivation, his lifespan will definitely not be worse than that of martial arts cultivators or Shinto cultivators.
But the warriors Zhang Yan has come into contact with now are far from being able to survive for two thousand or even thousands of years. Naturally, there are not enough warriors in the Duanshan Realm.
After Duanshan Realm is Jiumen Realm. This is almost the chasm where all the talented warriors are stuck among the warriors that Zhang Yan knows.
According to the classics and essays that Zhang Yan had consulted in the libraries of Jiangwu Yuan and Huanglin Yuan in recent months, there were many sayings about the "Nine Gates Realm". Each one is different in his or her own way. But there is also something in common, that is, the origin of the name of the Nine Gate Realm is the same. It says that the Nine Gates Realm needs to be broken through one gate at a time, nine gates in total. Every time you pass through a door, a new world will be opened. The improvement of strength is far from being divided into three general small realms of "beginner, middle, and last" in the previous realm.
This made Zhang Yan think of a method of physical cultivation, which also requires practitioners to continuously dig deep and develop their bodies and even souls, and discovered the "eight gates". When all eight doors are opened, you will rise to another level of life.
It’s just that there is one more door in the Desolate Heaven Realm.
Judging from the eight physical disciplines on earth, it is absolutely impossible for a nine-door warrior from the Wild Sky Realm to extend his lifespan to thousands of years.
If that's not enough, if you continue to look at the realms after the Nine Gates Realm of Warriors, there will only be one realm left, which is the "Shattering Void Realm".
There are very few descriptions of the Broken Void Realm, and it can basically be regarded as a legendary description of the realm of warriors in the Wild Sky Realm.
According to the historical materials Zhang Yan reviewed, there are clear records that there is only one warrior who has reached the Shattering Void Realm, even in the library of Jiangwu Academy. That is the most famous person among the human race, who founded the Martial Arts Academy and allowed the human race to regain a foothold in the wilderness.
Wu Sheng, Xu Fengyang.
Zhang Yan even remembered the thrill he felt when he first thought about this idea in his mind. It was like all the hairs on my body were standing on my head.
Martial Saint Xu Fengyang was mentioned by Zhang Yancai when he heard people in Yubei Mountain Fortress bragging about him when he arrived in the Wild Sky Territory. There are too many legends about Xu Fengyang to be counted. Because the age is too long, and because Xu Fengyang's contribution to the human race is too great, in Zhang Yan's view, Xu Fengyang today is more like a label and belief that symbolizes the continuous self-improvement of the human race. There are obvious signs of deification.
Not long ago, Zhang Yan also held Xu Fengyang in high esteem as a tribute to his ancestors who had made great achievements for the human race in the wilderness.
But now it seems that this "ancestor" is not as far away from him as a myth. They might even have fought each other directly! ?
Why did Zhang Yan react so strongly to Xu Fengyang? Because after he thought about this, he was horrified. When he introduced himself, the Great Ghost King of Wanjiang once said that in addition to the title of "Wanjiang", he also has a name, and that name is Xu Fengbai!
Xu Fengbai, Xu Fengyang!
Big brother? !
The traditions of the human race in the Wild Sky Domain are also very similar to those of the human race on earth, and the names have obvious family characteristics. Not only will they be given the family name, but they may also have an obvious seniority among their peers.
of course there are exceptions. Compared with Zhang Yan and Zhang Shun, the two brothers did not add seniority to their names. If you really want to add it, it should be the word "wisdom". Zhang Huiyuan is the full name with seniority added.
Maybe the previous generation felt that "Hui" was not suitable for boys, so they didn't add it.
But there is absolutely no problem in saying that Xu Fengbai and Xu Fengyang are two brothers from the same generation. When counting Xu Fengbai's existence as the Great Ghost King to the days before his death, and comparing it with Martial Saint Xu Fengyang, the two are almost in the same era in terms of time.
In addition to the two punches used to save Xu Fengbai, as well as the ability to easily and violently break the Immortal family's magic weapon, the Sun, Moon and Star Flag, it seems completely reasonable to say that the light and shadow is the Martial Saint Xu Fengyang. Even looking at the entire Desolate Heaven Realm, there seems to be no more reasonable explanation than this.
At this point, Zhang Yan is basically 60% sure that the identity of the light and shadow who rescued the Great Ghost King of Ten Thousand Frontiers is Martial Saint Xu Fengyang!
But if you want to confirm this guess, you actually need to find records about Xu Fengyang's family relationships. This is also the main reason why Zhang Yan traveled around the library during the second half of March. However, after three months, even if the library took out many rare and rare books or hidden books and classics in order to flatter him, there was still no family record about Xu Fengyang.
Has no one ever studied the life and bloodline of this powerful human race? Or is there something else hidden?
The clue is now broken. It cannot be said that there is no gain, it can only be said that it has not done its full work. But at least Zhang Yan accidentally got a glimpse of the big secret hidden in an absolutely hidden corner of the wilderness.
Legends say that Xu Fengyang stepped into the Broken Void Realm and became a god. This statement is not the only one. Because Zhang Yan found out a very interesting place in the wilderness, but all the "gods" recognized by the majority would "leave" without a trace. There are many people talking about going to the "God Realm". Including Xu Fengyang.
This is different from the legends about gods on earth. Although the gods also have similar terms such as the fairy world. But there is also a saying of "going down to earth". Most of the legends even talk about the immortals in the mortal world. The protagonists are mostly mortals or monks.
The legends of the Wild Sky Realm are all based on the routine of "disappearing after becoming a god". It's so uniform that it feels weird. This is not only true for the human race, but also some of the legends about the demon gods of the demon race that Zhang Yan stored in the Jiangwu Academy.
Is it because both the human race and the demon race in the Wild Sky Realm lack imagination? Or are they unable to make random assumptions based on facts?
However, Zhang Yan now agrees with the concept of "becoming a god". He was also based on the signs of the previous killing. At that time, the figure that appeared when the Great Ghost King of Ten Thousand Frontiers was rescued appeared in the form of light and shadow, and it was precisely this that made it difficult for the Sun, Moon and Star Flag to lock its target. This is very similar to the large phantom of the Wuqian Sword that Zhang Yan used before, and the phantom of the gods that would appear behind him when he performed the Divine Descending Technique.
Are there gods in the Wild Sky Realm? And it didn’t “disappear” as the legend said?
In addition, is there a "god domain" in the Desolate Sky Domain?
Zhang Yan couldn't answer these questions in his mind for a while.
