The young Taoist priest led Ye Qiu across the Kunlun Mountains, traversing mountains and valleys as if they were going to continue on forever.
As Ye Qiu walked, he felt increasingly uneasy, as if he were traversing between two worlds.
This feeling was extremely mysterious, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong with it.
The young Taoist priest glanced at Ye Qiu with a smile and teased, "Young Master Ye, your expression is just like that one from over twenty years ago. You and your mother are quite alike."
"What do you mean? You've seen my mother?"
Ye Qiu was astonished.
"Yes, I have seen her. I was the one who brought her into Kunlun Palace back then."
The young Taoist priest smiled.
Ye Qiu was shocked: "How old are you exactly?"
"I'm nine years old," the young Taoist priest replied earnestly.
"But why do you say you met my mother more than twenty years ago? Isn't that a contradiction?"
Ye Qiu was suspicious.
The young Taoist said, "Young Master Ye, you may not know this, but the Palace Master said that the cultivation method I practice is very special, and nine years is counted as one year."
"So, by normal calculations, you should be 81 years old now?"
Ye Qiu asked.
“If you insist on saying I’m eighty-one years old, that’s plausible, but I don’t think so.” The young Taoist explained patiently, “Because every nine years, I lose a memory, and my grown-up body shrinks back to the size of a child. I only remember some things that left a deep impression. So, I’ve experienced nine nine-year cycles and I still look the same.”
"What kind of cultivation technique do you practice? Why is it so extraordinary?" Ye Qiu was somewhat shocked: "If you continue practicing like this, wouldn't you be able to achieve an alternative form of immortality?"
"An alternative way to achieve immortality?" The young Taoist boy laughed. "It just means you can live much longer than ordinary people. However, Young Master Ye guessed one thing correctly. This technique is called the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Longevity Technique. It is divided into small reincarnation and large reincarnation. The small reincarnation is a cycle of nine years, and the large reincarnation is a cycle of ninety years, which is experienced nine times."
In other words, I would need to live for 81 years plus 811 years to cultivate the Reincarnation Longevity Technique to perfection. Once this technique is mastered, I will be immortal and live as long as heaven and earth.
Of course, if I fail, I will die and my cultivation will be destroyed. I won't even be able to be an ordinary cultivator anymore, because once I cultivate this technique, I cannot cultivate other techniques until I have mastered it. So, if I fail, I will die and my cultivation will be destroyed, and I will have no chance to cultivate other techniques.
"What if you switch to another method midway through?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
“No,” the young Taoist said. “Once the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Longevity Technique is started, a Reincarnation Seal will form in the primordial spirit. If other techniques intervene, the Reincarnation Seal will explode, causing the soul to shatter.”
"I truly admire you; you have the perseverance to choose this kind of cultivation method."
Ye Qiu gave a thumbs up, truly impressed.
The young Taoist boy laughed and said, "That's why this skill is hailed as the number one extraordinary skill in the world, ranking even above all the great sacred techniques. But even if the technique were made public, no one would dare to cultivate it. If Young Master Ye is interested, you can cripple your own cultivation and I will teach you. Once you master it, you will directly become a saint and ascend to the immortal realm."
"No, no," Ye Qiu said hurriedly, "I feel fine now."
"Haha, that's good."
The young Taoist priest smiled.
"You just said you've met my mother. What's she doing in Kunlun?"
Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"I've forgotten what we did. It seems like it was a discussion with the Palace Master. We talked for three days and fought for seven days. In the end, we reached some kind of cooperation. I've forgotten the specifics, since I went through two more cycles during that time."
The little boy smiled bitterly.
"Okay, thanks."
Ye Qiu thanked him.
At the same time, Ye Qiu became even more curious about Kunlun Palace.
Even my mother came here specially, which shows that Kunlun is extraordinary and has many mysteries unknown to the mortal world.
At the same time, Ye Qiu felt that he might be able to learn more about his mother at Kunlun Palace.
Before we knew it, an hour had passed.
At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly realized that the wind and snow had gone far away, and as far as the eye could see, there were birds singing and flowers blooming, as if he had stepped into spring.
This surprised Ye Qiu, because he sensed it completely unintentionally, as if the previous snowy landscape was just an illusion.
Such a miraculous experience left Ye Qiu bewildered, and he looked at the young Taoist boy.
The young Taoist knew what Ye Qiu was thinking and smiled, "The reason you have this feeling is because we suddenly passed through a barrier between heaven and earth and entered the core area of Kunlun, which is the real Kunlun Realm."
That barrier was invisible and traceless, separating heaven and earth; it's normal that it couldn't be sensed.
"Could that be the Kunlun Immortal Sect?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Not yet. We still need to cross the Tianyuan Bridge ahead to reach the Kunlun Immortal Sect."
The young Taoist boy pointed ahead.
Ye Qiu looked up and immediately saw a cliff in front of him, with clouds and mist swirling around it, its bottom unseen.
Ye Qiu was shocked. He clearly remembered that what was in front of him just now was definitely not a cliff, but a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
"What's going on here?"
Ye Qiu asked.
The young Taoist seemed to enjoy seeing Ye Qiu's astonished expression. He put his hands behind his back and said, "That was just an illusion, meant to mislead those who stray into this place. If someone is misled, the illusion will guide them away from here."
If he breaks through the illusion, it means he is not an ordinary person, but a master. In that case, the hidden Immortal Slaughtering Array will be immediately triggered, annihilating him.
"I see."
Ye Qiu was still somewhat shaken.
Kunlun Palace is too well hidden and fraught with danger.
Ordinary people simply cannot get close to it.
Even if some experts find this place, they will most likely die.
Moreover, there seems to be an even more terrifying Kunlun Immortal Sect behind it.
A moment later, the young Taoist led Ye Qiu to the edge of the cliff.
As the young Taoist boy formed hand seals, the clouds above the cliff dispersed slightly, revealing a black iron chain bridge leading to the other side deep within the clouds.
Ye Qiu looked as far as he could, but he couldn't make out the scene on the other side.
"Young Master Ye, please."
The young Taoist priest laughed.
"You go first."
"Haha, is Young Master Ye afraid? This is not like you. You are the Peerless King of Great Xia, the Supreme Martial Arts Master."
The young Taoist priest made a joke.
"You talk too much."
Ye Qiu kicked the young Taoist boy in the butt, sending him flying onto the iron chain bridge.
Unexpectedly, this kick made the young Taoist boy cry.
He sat on the bridge, tears streaming down his face.
This suddenly made Ye Qiu feel a little embarrassed.
"Um, I didn't mean to, I just kicked it unconsciously, don't cry, don't cry."
Ye Qiu chuckled dryly, trying to comfort the young Taoist.
"Young Master Ye, you may not know this, but your mother kicked me in the same way back then, which suddenly reminded me of some forgotten memories."
The young Taoist boy cried with great sorrow.
"What past events?"
Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"Thinking back to the time when I had the chance to be your father, but then..."
"You fucking..."
Ye Qiu suddenly became agitated and lunged at the young Taoist boy.
"No, no, no!" The young Taoist priest hurriedly tried to avoid it, but it was too late.
