Chapter 172: Forty-five Years Old
Jiang Li’s question is undoubtedly strange and stupid to the people of this world. It is equivalent to asking if anyone in Jiuzhou knows the Human Emperor.
I wonder if the Human Emperor still has the nerve to say that he is from Kyushu?
That person also looked at Jiang Li with strange eyes. How could he ask such a question? Is it from our world? However, he only thought about this question in his mind and would not say it out loud. Apart from the Twelve Heavenly Kings, how could people from other worlds come here?
This is too far-fetched. The Twelve Heavenly Kings are the saviors?
Jiang Li was puzzled. This was completely different from the system's description.
The system said that there were uninvited guests in the universe who wanted to destroy the world. No matter how you look at the word, he had nothing to do with being a savior.
"Who are the Twelve Heavenly Kings?"
"Don't blame me, brother. I come from another world and am not very familiar with your world. That's why I asked this question." Jiang Li told the truth.
The man looked at Jiang Li with an even weirder look.
You are from another world, I would never believe you, you think you are one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings.
He wanted to shake off his sleeves and leave, but found that Jiang Li's big hands were like iron and he couldn't shake them off at all. When he saw Jiang Li's smiling eyes, he had to accept his fate.
"My last name is Meng. I'm a teacher nearby. I'm preparing to teach history to my students recently. If you really don't know, I'll tell you about it as a preview."
"More than three hundred years ago, the dynasties were fighting for supremacy, the people were living in poverty, corpses were everywhere, blood was flowing. According to historical books, only a few people practiced martial arts at that time. Only the top people were qualified to practice martial arts. If you have no money or power, then forget about practicing martial arts. Even if you barely get in, you can only hang around in front of the martial arts gate for the rest of your life. How different can you be from ordinary people?"
"Moreover, the warriors at that time were full of blood and energy, and they needed to kill people to stop the uncontrolled blood. Therefore, people who practiced martial arts were also called murderers. Anyone who had achieved success in martial arts must have killed someone!"
"A martial artist goes on a killing spree on the battlefield. Even well-trained soldiers cannot withstand a martial artist's attack. A martial artist can dominate the battlefield alone and no one can defeat him."
"Warriors need to kill, and dynasties need territory. The two hit it off and conspire to conquer the world together."
"All the major dynasties did their best to recruit warriors and sent them to the battlefield. Dynasties that did not have enough warriors could only use the lives of ordinary soldiers to fight the warriors. After a war, countless innocent soldiers died at the hands of warriors."
At this point, Instructor Meng straightened his chest, cleared his throat, and said proudly: "At this time, the upper realm saw that the common people were suffering, so they sent the Twelve Heavenly Kings to save us."
"The Twelve Heavenly Kings are extremely brave. Warriors are no match for them and are easily killed."
"The Heavenly Kings believed that the previous warriors were complacent and unwilling to release their martial arts secrets, which was wrong. So the Heavenly Kings spread martial arts to the world and made the martial arts secrets completely public, so that everyone can learn martial arts and become a warrior."
"Moreover, the martial arts secrets that the Heavenly Kings have made public have been improved. If people practice according to the new martial arts secrets, they will no longer have the urge to kill people with bloodlust."
"From now on, warriors are no longer synonymous with being high and mighty. There is no longer a distinction between warriors and civilians. We are all warriors."
"That is to say, Instructor Meng is also a martial artist. I wonder where the martial arts secrets he practices come from?"
"Of course it was issued by the Heavenly Kings." Instructor Meng said as a matter of course, "The Heavenly Kings said that martial arts secrets cannot be compiled casually, otherwise it is easy to repeat the same mistakes and become the kind of warriors who like to kill people before."
"I still have some doubts."
"Go ahead." Teacher Meng now really feels like he is teaching a class.
"Since warriors are the source of trouble, why don't we just destroy the martial arts secret manuals? That way, everyone will be a civilian, and there won't be any cases of using martial arts to break the law. Instead, the Heavenly Kings would spend so much effort to improve them before making them public?"
"You don't know this. The new martial arts secrets have other uses. For example, the martial arts secrets from more than 300 years ago could only allow people to live to 20 or 30 years old, but the martial arts secrets now can allow people to live to 40 or even 45 years old. The effect of prolonging life is very significant!"
"That's really amazing. If you can live to forty-five, that can really be considered a long life." Jiang Li praised hypocritically. The average lifespan in Jiuzhou is one hundred and twenty years old, and death at forty-five is rare.
Jiang Li heard from Immortal Changcun that the lifespan of humans in all the heavens and worlds is fixed at 140 years.
However, without cultivation, very few people can live to be one hundred and forty years old. For example, in the world of ringing bells and the world of zombies, people there can theoretically live to be one hundred and forty years old, but almost no one in these two worlds can live to perfection.
This is because of acquired pollution. The human body is both a boat for traversing the world and a bucket for harboring filth and dirt.
Infancy is the purest moment in a person's life. With the erosion of acquired turbid energy, infants gradually lose their purity, absorb impurities, and their lifespan decreases. If they pay attention to health preservation, they can live to be about a hundred years old. If they lead an indulgent life, it is hard to say how long they can live.
Cultivating immortals, also known as cultivating the truth, means to cultivate one's true self. One of the meanings of the true self is to return to the pure body of a baby.
Whether it is practicing Qi or building the foundation, it is a process of constantly using spiritual energy to cleanse the essence and marrow. This process will be accompanied by the discharge of dirty substances such as sludge.
Therefore, those in the Qi training and foundation building stages can live to the natural lifespan of humans, which is 140 years. After the Golden Core stage, the lifespan will increase along with the level of cultivation.
In other words, the life expectancy of people here should be 140 years.
He used his spiritual sense to observe the people nearby and found that it was just as Instructor Meng had said, the martial arts secrets they practiced were mostly the same and there was no essential difference.
They are all Ranshou’s martial arts secrets.

Jiang Li had never seen what the previous martial arts secrets were like, so it was hard to comment. However, if it was true as Instructor Meng said, and the current situation was about extending one's lifespan, then the previous martial arts secrets were very cruel in burning one's lifespan.
"I wonder where the Heavenly Kings are?" Jiang Li was curious. This world was also a continent, and his spiritual sense could not cover it completely. He did find some emperor-like figures, but they looked stupid and did not look like the Twelve Heavenly Kings at all.
"The Heavenly Kings have already returned to heaven. If they think we have done anything wrong, they will send a message to His Majesty in a dream."
"When will the dream come?"
"How could we know that?" Instructor Meng said with a smile.
Jiang Li sensed movement in the remote communication symbol, but was surprised to find that it was Commander Liu calling him.
Jiang Li's thoughts were in a mess for a moment. This had never happened before. Could it be that Commander Liu finally had an opinion about him sitting in the Human Emperor Palace and wanted him to go back?
No, I must think of a good excuse.
Jiang Li came to a deserted place and connected the remote communication symbol.
"Palace Master, there is a child here..."
"I have a stomach ache……"
“…”
“…”
Commander Liu and Jiang Li didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Finally, Commander Liu suggested: "Why don't you go to the bathroom first? It's not too urgent."
The Mahayana said that he had a stomachache. Palace Master, have you been poisoned by the legendary immortal poison that would kill even an immortal? "Well, tell me."
