Chapter 526 Infinite Life
[Adaptation] is a rare item, and its equipment ability is: improving the ability to adapt to the environment.
Simple and unpretentious, but very useful.
[Scholar] + [Adapt], the two terms combined allowed Yu Cang to adapt and comprehend at the same time, so he mastered the method of relaxing his body in high-intensity spatial tension in a very short period of time.
In order to avoid getting hurt after failing to relax, Yu Cang also equipped himself with the [Yingcao] which has extremely strong recovery ability.
It can be said to be foolproof. Of course, now it seems that my attempt was successful at the first try, and the [Yingcao] entry was not used.
Yu Cang looked at his hands and clenched his fists lightly several times.
The touch of air is a bit strange. When you slide your fingers through it, it feels like stirring water, but you don't actually feel any resistance. And when you stand still, there is always an illusion that you are "expanding".
Although this is not actually the case, this illusion sometimes affects one's judgment.
However, this feeling will be greatly reduced after you start exercising.
In short, no matter what, the feeling that I was about to die on the fifteenth floor is gone now... and I feel unusually relaxed.
If you adapt for a while and get used to this feeling of "expansion", then it will be almost the same as standing in an ordinary space.
Yu Cang shifted his gaze and glanced at the entry record panel.
Well... his current adaptation to spatial tension all comes from the [Adaptation] entry. If this entry is removed at this time, then he will most likely be exposed.
However, with the blessing of [Scholar], he is quickly understanding this ability and quickly making his body remember this technique. It seems that it won't be long before he can break away from the blessing of the entry and survive directly in the tension of space.
good.
He lowered his arms and looked at Gu Jieshuang.
At this moment, she was looking at him with wide eyes, her eyes full of surprise at his teaching level.
Yu Cang smiled and said, "Thanks to your good teaching, otherwise it would probably take me several days to grasp this technique."
Although it was mainly because of the entry, Yu Cang naturally would not spoil Gu Jieshuang's fun at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but giggle.
"No way... Boss, stop trying to fool me. I know it's because you're so quick-witted!"
…
After adapting for a while on the fifteenth floor, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang passed through the stone door and arrived at the sixteenth floor.
This time, Ao Hai did not show up to stop him. Obviously, he thought Yu Cang was ready enough to step into the next level.
As soon as he entered the sixteenth floor, Yu Cang suddenly felt his body lighten, and then his foot stepped on empty air, but he did not fall, but floated lightly in the air.
His chest felt a little stuffy, and the amount of air he could breathe was obviously much less, which made Yu Cang subconsciously speed up his breathing rate.
He looked around, and it seemed as if there was no longer any distinction between the ground and the sky. Everywhere was filled with layers of thin clouds.
The gravity around him was very low, but Yu Cang did not fall. Instead, he stepped on a cloud.
The clouds were very thin. Normally, Yu Cang would fall down if he stood on them, but that obviously didn't happen now.
The skill of resisting spatial tension prevented him from feeling pain in this environment, but his ability to move was greatly weakened. Moreover, after staying there for a long time, Yu Cang couldn't help but feel dizzy.
This is a phenomenon similar to motion sickness.
He felt that he was expanding, but in fact he was not. If this mismatch between perception and reality continued for a long time, he would feel dizzy.
It's not hard to bear, just get used to it slowly.
Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang looked at each other and decided to continue looking upwards.
The two held hands and walked in the clouds. Not long after, they saw a stone door again.
However, by this point, Yu Cang had already begun to feel unwell.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's practice here for a while."
There's no rush anyway, he still has plenty of time.
Gu Jieshuang naturally nodded.
The two of them found a slightly larger cloud, sat cross-legged on it, and began to practice the resonance method.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Gu Jieshuang's heart:
"Wait! Thaw the frost!"
Gu Jieshuang was stunned: "Aunt?...What's wrong?"
"There's a familiar smell nearby... It seems to be an old friend of mine. Go look for him."
"Old friend?" Gu Jieshuang blinked. "Auntie, your old friend... must have been from thousands of years ago, right?"
My great aunt lived during the reign of Emperor Wu. It must have been at least three thousand years since she died in battle.
As far as Gu Jieshuang knows, there should be no one who can live beyond this age now.
Humans can only live for about a thousand years at most. Spiritual beasts could have lived longer, but now the world has changed drastically, so their lifespans are only slightly longer than humans, and they definitely cannot live to three thousand years.
"Are you sure you didn't misperceive?"
"Absolutely! I've definitely seen it before!"
The aunt's voice paused.
Then, a soul card suddenly flew out from Gu Jieshuang's card box. After breaking, it turned into the shape of a dusty holy sword, floating in the air. A thin layer of ice had already attached to the sword.
At this time, it was my aunt who was living in this soul card.
"Come with me, come with me... He must be nearby!" The aunt's voice sounded quite excited.
She doesn't have a good memory, so she definitely can't remember people she knew three thousand years ago.
But the time she spent sleeping in the True Blood Arsenal was just a blink of an eye. After she woke up, her memory of yesterday was still about when she died in battle.
In other words, if there really was a familiar aura, it must have been someone he had known shortly before his death in battle.
Well, anyway, she was happy to meet someone she knew!
There was a slight generation gap between her and Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang, so she was unhappy while chatting with them.
Seeing her aunt like this, Gu Jieshuang did not dare to be negligent and stood up quickly.
"Boss, my aunt said she seemed to sense an old friend and wants me to go look for him...Will you come with me?"
"Oh?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, also a little surprised.
She was naturally aware of Frostwing's age.
What my old friend said... But in the Tianmen Secret Realm, the oldest one is Shouzu, but the information says that he should be less than two thousand years old.
Never mind, let’s go and take a look.
The old lady controlled the Dust-Sealed Holy Sword, dodging left and right in the clouds, and Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang followed behind her.
However, the aunt seemed unable to find any fixed location. She wandered around in several places and turned back and forth several times, but still had no clue.
"Huh, that's weird."
The aunt's voice came from the holy sword.
"It should be right here... How could it be gone?... I'll go look over there again."
Seeing this, Yu Cang and the others had no choice but to accompany her around.
…
At this time
Somewhere.
Bang!
"Thirty thousand."
The jade-polished mahjong tiles were pushed onto the table, and Di Chang'an glanced at the "little turtle" on his right.
"Looking for you?"
Only at this moment.
Above the clouds, a mahjong table is placed here. No one knows what material it is made of. Under the tension of space, it does not deform at all and looks very stable.
Emperor Chang'an was sitting in one of the seats at this time.
On the left, a turtle, probably only the size of a normal human's upper body, was sitting there, wearing a pair of round sunglasses on its face. When Di Chang'an glanced at it, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
"How...how is that possible? You know how old I am..."
This little turtle is actually a smaller version of Shouzu...
"Yeah."
On Shouzu's right, a figure who looked exactly like Di Changan, but wearing an ancient robe, looked at Shouzu with a half-smile.
Guixiang twirled the mahjong tile on the far side with his fingers and asked, "Then why... Yu Cang and the others have been circling around us?"
“Uh uh…” Shou Zu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Well… maybe she sensed it wrongly…”
"Whether it's right or wrong, we'll know after they come in and take a look." Di Chang'an smiled, "Ao Hai, remove the restrictions nearby."
"middle."
I saw that the last person at the mahjong table was Ao Hai!
Everyone sitting around this mahjong table is a legend!
Ao Hai was in much better condition at this time. Ji Xuanwei was standing behind him, his pupils burning red.
Hearing Di Chang'an's words, Ji Xuanwei curled his lips, and his pupils gradually returned to their normal color.
The next second, the nearby clouds gradually opened up, and then with the sound of a sword, the aunt controlled the Dust-Sealed Holy Sword and flew over with a "swoosh".
"Found it, right here...eh?"
The trembling dust-sealed holy sword suddenly froze in mid-air.
Oh my god, what a scene!
I am tired of my uncle, four myths!
It’s bad, it’s bad... Just be scared first!
The ice layer on the dusty holy sword suddenly shattered, and the holy sword fell into the clouds and lost its life.
Didn’t see it, didn’t see it, didn’t see it…
Behind him, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang arrived late. When they saw this scene, they were a little confused for a moment.
Good job.
Including Homecoming, four myths…playing mahjong here?
There was also a Ji Xuanwei watching the show nearby.
What a grand scene.
"Yu Cang, you're here." Di Chang'an waved to Yu Cang, "Come this way."
"Emperor Mythology." Yu Cang stepped forward, "And Brother Ao... why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do." Di Chang'an looked aside, "Shou Zu, are you still going to play your cards?"
"Uh, um, um..." Shouzu smiled awkwardly, "Then I'll offer... five?"
"Win." Di Chang'an pushed the cards in front of him down. "Jie Shuang, let that 'aunt' stand up and see if the old friend she wants to meet is this person in front of her."
Shouzu: “…”
"I don't deserve it!" The Dust-Sealed Holy Sword suddenly jumped up from the ground. "Just call me Xiaoyong..."
"Well, he's a senior after all, so it's only natural." Di Changan looked at Shou Zu, "Don't you agree?"
Shouzu: ...
On the side, Guixiang had grabbed a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and started to eat them with great interest.
After a while, Shou Zu finally gave up and slumped down on the card table. "Alright, alright... I admit, I lied about my age..."
"Ah?" The aunt suddenly exclaimed.
She came closer and looked left and right in front of Shouzu.
Then he shouted in disbelief: "You are... you are..."
"Auntie." Shou Zu took off his sunglasses and smiled awkwardly, "I'm Ah Shou... You saved my life back then."
"You kid." Di Chang'an pointed at Shou Zu unhappily, "When we first met, you said you were only three hundred years old... Now it seems that you underestimated your age by at least a thousand years?"
"Well... well, there's nothing I can do..." Shouzu scratched his head. "A myth suddenly appeared in my house, and I couldn't defeat it... I was afraid that you knew I was old, so you captured me and made soup..."
"It's not too late now." Di Chang'an rolled up his sleeves. "A two-thousand-year-old turtle must be very nutritious..."
“No, no, no…” Shouzu quickly raised his hands, “I didn’t mean it!”
"Hmph." Di Chang'an just said it, "So, when you told me that your time was up, that was also a lie?"
"That's what happened... After all, you were... dying, right? I was worried that humans would dislike me after you left... I had originally planned to fake my own death and escape then..."
"...You really have a 'careful plan'." Di Changan gritted out these words from between his teeth.
aside.
Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang looked at each other.
Good job.
Shouzu turned out to be my aunt's "old friend".
Moreover, Shouzu also subconsciously called her "Auntie"... It seems that Auntie's habit of hearing people call her "Auntie" is a long-standing one.
"Tell me." Di Changan leaned back, "What else are you hiding from me?"
Shouzu looked up at the Dust-Sealed Holy Sword and sighed.
"Well... actually, I didn't lie about my age much... When I first met my aunt, I was just an ordinary legendary. I was being hunted down and had no way out. Thanks to you for helping me... Then, my aunt and I walked together for a while, and when we reached a safe place, we parted ways."
Aunt: “…”
I remember now.
There was indeed such a follower at the beginning.
After saving this guy, he was blamed... But that was normal. That place was indeed dangerous, and she didn't know how Ah Shou got there. She could only take Ah Shou away from that place first.
But...is this guy a legend now?
Damn, this is so unfair!
Di Chang'an glanced at the Sealed Holy Sword and said, "Your deadline is fake... so how much life do you have left?"
"That's... hard to say." Shou Zu hesitated for a moment. "As you know, my innate magical power is 'infinite lifespan'. Under normal circumstances, I don't have the concept of lifespan. As long as I want to live, I can live forever... But in this situation, I can't be sure... Maybe, a little less?"
Emperor Changan: “…”
What do you mean by slightly less?
Infinity minus infinity, isn’t that still infinity!
"Haha." Di Changan laughed, "You kid... in a couple of days, you will also follow me to fight."
"Ah?" Shou Zu suddenly felt as if he had lost his parents. "I'm not good at fighting... Fine, fine, I'll go. Don't look at me like that..."
