When the word "eternal life" was spoken, there seemed to be an indescribable sense of mystery. Qi Wuhuo felt that the energy around him suddenly became clear and long-lasting. The old man was already in his twilight years, but now there was a great vitality in his eyes, as if reflecting the vast sky, the bright moon, and the blue grassland.

The doctor's calls, the sounds of people coming and going outside, and the warm feeling of the sun all spread.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind.

A strong wind blew across his cheek, and Qi Wuhuo subconsciously closed his eyes and slightly avoided it. Flowers of various colors swept past his eyes. When Qi Wuhuo was able to slowly open his eyes, the old man in front of him had turned into a man in white clothes, with warm eyebrows and eyes, a dot of cinnabar on the forehead, and a warm smile.

Qi Wuhuo recognized the newcomer, his eyes rippled, and he said slowly:

"The Great Emperor of the South Pole..."

The young man smiled and nodded: "Nanji Changsheng, I am honored."

One of the most supreme among the Four Imperial Gods, comparable to the Three Pure Ones, and even reaching the realm of [Extreme], appeared in front of Qi Wuhuo at this moment. Although the young Taoist had become an immortal, he had little power to resist in front of the Imperial God. He just said: "I am Qi Wuhuo, a poor Taoist, and I have seen Nanji Changsheng."

"Oh? Looking at Taishang Xuanwei's expression, he seems a little surprised?"

"I just didn't expect that the dignified Yu Heji would come to look for a Taoist priest like me in the human world."

The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole could not help but laugh and said:

"Ordinary Taoists would not ask me to come in person."

"Even if it is the Supreme Mysterious, just let Zhu Ling go there in person."

"but--"

His laughter paused, and he looked at Qi Wuhuo in front of him and said as a matter of course:

"Lord Taishan."

"The True Martial Spiritual Response."

"How can I not come to see you in person if I can break the calamity with one sword?"

"If we only let Zhu Ling come, it will feel a little bit lacking. If it is Jiu Tian Ying Yuan, we are worried about other conflicts."

He casually flicked his sleeves and sat in front of Qi Wuhuo. Everything around him was natural, as if he was in another world, but he could also see people coming and going on the streets outside. Thus, the bustling world and the quiet nature were clearly separated. The Southern Emperor Changsheng, who looked handsome and gentle with a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows, smiled and said:

"But I don't intend to do the kind of thing where I know your methods and character, but I still let my subordinates who are bound to conflict with you come to see you one by one, so that you can improve your status like climbing a ladder to heaven."

"Since you have shown me the ability to impress me, I will naturally meet you in person."

"This can be considered as courtesy."

"Come, Lord, have a drink."

The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole raised his hand slightly, and a white jade cup appeared in front of Qi Wuhuo. The young Taoist did not refuse, or rather, facing the emperor, refusal was useless, so he simply raised the cup and drank tea, the light fragrance of tea went straight into his throat. Someone walked across the street carrying a scarecrow with red candied haws tied on it, and walked past Qi Wuhuo's side, the sound of hawking was clear.

Qi Wuhuo withdrew his gaze.

"Emperor Changsheng, what do you want from me?"

The Southern Emperor of Immortality smiled and said with a hint of ridicule: "You slashed me with your sword, what do you think I want from you?"

"Lord Taishan?"

Qi Wuhuo's eyes rippled.

The Southern Emperor of Longevity spread his hands and smiled, "However, before this, your senior brother came to my Changsheng Palace in person and made an agreement with me that he would not take the initiative to attack you within 500 years. Oh, at the moment, there are still about 499 years. Besides, you are now busy with many things. If I kill you, it will not benefit me in any way, and it will also attract Hou Tu's attack."

"The North Pole doesn't have any feelings for you though."

"But it is only natural to go with the flow and help Hou Tu."

"If I touch you, something bad will happen to me."

"I just came to see you. Besides, I have been thinking about this for a long time in the Changsheng Palace. There seems to be no direct conflict between you and me, right?" The Southern Emperor Changsheng looked at the young Taoist in front of him and smiled, "You have talent and ability. I think you can at least achieve great accomplishments in the future. For a person like this, it is natural to win him over, since we are not mortal enemies."

"After all, you didn't promise Beiji or Zhenwu, did you?"

One has Hou Tu Huang Di behind him.

He enjoys a great reputation among the generals including the Giant Spirit.

But he is not the supreme disciple of Beidi.

At this moment, among all the forces in the Heavenly Court, there is a super big meat pie that exudes a sweet and greasy smell.

The Southern Emperor of Immortality raised his cup and asked calmly, "So, I came here today because I am a little curious. Today, I don't care about who is better or worse, I just want to ask - Wuhuo, do you think that [immortality] is a mistake? You are from the human race, so I will use humans as an example."

"If living is wrong, then why don't people commit suicide early to avoid suffering while living?"

"If immortality is wrong, then why does everyone want to live?"

"If their relatives hadn't died, their children hadn't died early, their parents hadn't died early, would they be as miserable and heartbroken as they are now?"

The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole pointed at those people.

He did not bewitch, but simply asked:

Qi Wuhuo said: "If their relatives are fine, they should be very happy at this moment."

"It's just that their relatives died because of the ambitions of the immortals, and died in war."

The Southern Emperor of Immortality smiled and said, "That's right."

"But if there were no wars, would they not experience these things? Even without wars, there would still be illness, life span, the elderly burying the young, and the many sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Most of the suffering of people and all things is due to this. All fears, in the final analysis, are the fear of loss and death. How can we stop this fear?"

The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole said calmly:

"Only, erase death."

Qi Wuhuo said to himself: "Erase...death."

The first thing that Qi Wuhuo thought of was the many thoughts and what kind of backlash and consequences would be brought about after erasing death.

The Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor said calmly, "Many accomplished practitioners have criticized my behavior, saying that this is a reversal of the order of life and death of all things, and that it is great goodness like a demon. If a dying person scolded me like this, I would not feel the slightest bit of disgust, but would only think that this person's heart is as hard as iron, and I would come back to look for him in the next life."

"But how can I know?"

"Those who said these words are all people who have already practiced breathing and cultivating longevity."

"If what they say makes sense, why don't they cut short their long lifespans and return to birth, aging, sickness and death?"

"It's like someone who has read books telling you that you don't need to read books, or like someone who has benefited from it telling you that this behavior is wrong."

"Isn't it ridiculous?"

"As for order..."

"snort!"

"The so-called order they call is nothing more than the superiority of [they can live forever, while all things are subject to birth, aging, sickness and death]."

"You are just high and mighty, and the common people cannot achieve immortality and bow down to me?!"

The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole swept his sleeves, and pictures appeared in front of Qi Wuhuo's eyes, in which the dead were resurrected. Then smiles appeared on the faces of these extremely sad people, and the atmosphere that was like hell on earth dissipated.

The Great Emperor of the South Pole looked at Qi Wuhuo calmly:

"The so-called Tao in the Arctic is that if you don't know death, how can you know life?"

"But what kind of order is maintained by Beiji Ziwei? That is Haotian's order."

"It's the order of the immortals and gods who never die and never know death."

"It is a world with six realms, gods, humans and ghosts in an orderly hierarchy. Since gods and immortals are already immortal, how do they know death and life? Or is it that the North Pole's restraining avenue only states that all living things should die, but gods and immortals should not die?"

"The gods and immortals in the heavens fear the future that I have seen. Are they worried that something might go wrong? Or are they afraid that when all things can achieve immortality and gain knowledge and power over a long period of time, these high and mighty immortals will lose their original status and no longer be special or as ethereal as legends."

"If everything can live forever, it is equivalent to saying that there are no immortals or gods in the world."

"Their identities and status, the calmness with which they looked down upon the birth, aging, sickness and death of the human world, the sadness of all things and sighing 'traveling in the North Sea in the morning and in Cangwu in the evening', are no longer there. Compared to the newly born creatures in their eyes, they are just immortals who were born a little earlier. What do you think they are afraid of?"

Qi Wuhuo had to admit that what the young man said made sense.

The immortals and gods would certainly be afraid that their own status and position would fall when the world is filled with immortals.

Loss of superiority and uniqueness.

The Southern Emperor of Immortality did not use any rhetoric. He held his cup of tea and looked at the crowd in front of him. He was lost in thought for a long time and said calmly, "I have lived for a very long, very long time. Do you know which creatures were the most miserable in this era, the last era, and the era before that?"

"It's the powerless ones."

"Including Donghua, including Gou Chen, including the disasters in Jinzhou, they were all caused by immortal gods attacking the short-lived common people, and the common people had no power to resist. If all common people were immortal, then they would have enough power, and even stupid people could practice to get started. How could immortal gods dare to attack common people?"

"They dare to take action only because even if some people survive, they will disappear in a hundred years."

“Time will erase so much.”

"All living things are born to pursue life and immortality, and humans are the most so. They leave behind words, tombstones, and murals to record their survival. The continuation of the bloodline of their descendants is also a way of expressing their desire to leave their own traces. However, tombstones will collapse, murals will gradually weather, and descendants..."

"When a person has children, they are close to him, but his grandchildren are not always around him."

"And if it comes to the great-grandchildren, they can only see each other once every few years. In a person's life, all the persistence and struggle, love and hate, and the turmoil in the heart, in the vast years, nothing will be left, and no one will remember it."

"Time... is so cruel to ordinary creatures."

"Does Taishan Mansion Lord think that immortality is a mistake?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "No."

The Southern Emperor raised his eyes slightly and said, "Oh?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "Most people hope to live longer. They say that early death is premature death. If you can achieve immortality, at least you can live a longer life. Why is it wrong?"

"But how can the Great Emperor Changsheng make the people live forever?"

The Southern Emperor of Immortality smiled and said, "Only by practicing Taoism can one achieve immortality, but Taoism cannot be bestowed upon others."

"It can only speed up reincarnation."

"So, I came to look for you."

Qi Wuhuo’s eyes paused slightly.

"Speed ​​up reincarnation?"

"yes."

The Great Emperor of the South Pole described the future he had seen and said calmly, "Even if we find a stupid and ignorant monkey and let him scratch the ground with a branch, as long as the time is long enough and the number of times is enough, one day this monkey will be able to write the Daozang written by the Taoist Master himself."

"As long as the frequency of reincarnation is high enough, as long as this world goes through countless iterations."

“A person or a bird can both practice cultivation and achieve immortality.”

"Maybe a hundred million years, or a billion years."

"One day, after a long time, the world will no longer have the distinction between long-lived and short-lived. The longevity of all things will not breed malice as those immortals and gods say. If longevity really amplifies desires as they say, then the so-called immortals and gods are the holders of the greatest desires."

“The world I have seen.”

"It is nothing more than making the common people live for 5,000 years as spring and 5,000 years as autumn, so that they can live 20,000 years longer."

"No more premature death, fewer births, old age, sickness and death. You can see the prosperity of the world and understand the vastness of all things."

"At that time, all beings are equal, and there is no evil. There may be evil people who live forever, but there must also be good people who live forever. The rotation of yin and yang is also another balanced order."

"Lord Taishan, what do you think?"

The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole looked at the Lord of Mount Tai calmly, his eyes peaceful and calm: "You are the Lord of Fengdu."

"If you join forces with me, you can naturally suppress the Netherworld Yama, and you can control the reincarnation."

“Speed ​​everything up.”

Qi Wuhuo looked at the calm Nanji Changsheng Emperor in front of him. He had indeed seen the era that Nanji Changsheng Emperor had described, where all things were immortal and there were few evils and troubles. However, he paused and asked, "What if a person is reincarnated but cannot practice in the right way?"

The Southern Emperor of Immortality said: "Let him give birth to a son, and then reincarnate early, and try again."

"If a person has other wishes in his heart, and is willing to travel around the world and watch the world without wanting to practice..."

The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole said calmly:

"Let them give birth to offspring and enter reincarnation soon."

"What if a person, although he has a good foundation, does evil at will, and relies on killing people all the way to improve his cultivation?"

The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole said:

“This is the proof of the truth.”

Qi Wuhuo remained silent for a long time.

The Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor said calmly, "Does your Excellency think that this is no different from killing common people?"

"But if the soul and the spirit are one, then each reincarnation is just a short experience. When they achieve immortality and freedom, they will understand the necessity of past experiences. This is also for the sake of the common people. They only suffer for a short period of time in exchange for a long and beautiful future. When they achieve immortality and live for tens of thousands of years, there will be countless days of freedom waiting for them."

Qi Wuhuo asked: "Were they still themselves at that time?"

The Southern Emperor of Immortality said, "The soul and the spirit are one, so how can they not be them?"

"Or does Lord Taishan think that the body is the key to determining who you are?"

"If so, who is the person whose soul possesses the body after taking over the body for cultivation?"

"It seems that Lord Taishan thinks that I am being too extreme?"

Qi Wuhuo said, "I think there is nothing wrong with longevity and seeking life, but aren't you going too far, Great Emperor Changsheng? If someone doesn't practice properly after reincarnation, you immediately send him to reincarnation early. If you do this billions of times, how is it different from killing people in Fengdu? What's the difference between your so-called experiment and raising Gu in Miaojiang?"

The Southern Emperor of Immortality said calmly: "The Miao people raise Gu in order to use them as weapons, but I do this for the common people."

"For the common people?"

"Yes, they will know. Billions of years later, they will thank me for bringing them to the world of immortality where there is no sorrow or suffering."

"At that time, all six realms will be immortal, all will be one, there will be no distinction, no sorrow, no conflict."

"Died early in ten thousand lives in order to live forever in one life. Do you think that they will be happy during these ten thousand reincarnations?"

"This is just the necessary price to pay in order to achieve immortality. When they finally achieve immortality, they will understand that it is all worth it."

The young Taoist and the peaceful young man talked with each other.

The exchange of tones gradually became more intense.

Finally, the two sides looked at each other, and the Southern Emperor of Immortality sighed and said:

"Forget it, forget it. It seems there is nothing to talk about today."

He paused and said gently:

"Since the Lord of the Mansion can't do it."

"Lord Taishan, are you willing to lend me the authority of Fengdu temporarily? I will show you how to do it."

…

"My queen, my queen, something bad has happened!"

"The Great Emperor of Beiji Ziwei has come with the Great True Lord Tianpeng!"

The message from Yuanying Yuanjun was instantly conveyed to Hou Tuhuangdizhi.

Hou Tu Niangniang was a lazy sleeper. She opened her eyes upon hearing this. She did not stand up, but just casually swept her sleeves across. In an instant, the mountain courtyard was filled with layers of earthly aura. The earth officials raised their weapons, and Hou Tu Niangniang said calmly, "That's not necessary."

"Then say you don't see any visitors."

In her eyes, the Emperor of North Pole Ziwei was extremely deep-minded, similar to the Emperor of South Pole Changsheng. He had his own plans and could not be fully trusted. Moreover, the Emperor of North Pole Ziwei was the strongest war god in the Haotian Heavenly Palace. He had the Exorcism Court under his command, and was in charge of the power of the Thunder Department and the Fighting Department, balancing Gou Chen and South Pole. Empress Hou Tu was no longer in Heavenly Palace, so naturally she was unwilling to meet him.

"But, Madam..."

Yuan Ying Yuan Jun's tone was hesitant, and he sighed: "You should come and see it yourself."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji raised his eyes slightly.

Is it that Yuanying Yuanjun can’t stop Beiji?

She had a calm expression and was dressed in elegant clothes. She clenched the five fingers of her right hand, and the Heaven-shaking Mace transformed from Mount Buzhou appeared. She slowly clenched her five fingers, and a golden light dispersed. Then the Heaven-shaking Mace was already in her palm, making a dull hum and a series of roars.

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji paced back and forth, her sleeves fluttering, her black hair slightly raised, her eyes calm and indifferent, and she ordered the door to open.

He said calmly, "North Pole Purple Star Great Emperor, what brings you here today?"

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi had no intention of meeting Bei Ji, and even if he met him now, he had no intention of giving him a good look.

The Emperor of Beiji Ziwei, who was wearing a black robe, did not speak, but just waved his folding fan slightly.

When the two Yu met, the atmosphere naturally became depressing.

In front are Tianpeng Dazhenjun and Zuofu Zhenjun.

Beside Hou Tu Niangniang are Yuanying Yuanjun and Yuanzhi Yuanjun, and behind her are countless earth gods holding weapons.

There was a faint aura of war and killing rising up.

When the sky is filled with murderous intent, the stars will move and change their positions; when the earth is filled with murderous intent, dragons and snakes will emerge from the land.

It’s all here!

The atmosphere was heavy and filled with murderous intent, making it almost hard to breathe.

Soon, the girl's energetic voice came: "Are you Wuhuo's elder?"

"Junior Yunqin, nice to meet you, um... Senior!"

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji paused slightly, and moved his gaze away from Beiji Ziwei Emperor. He saw the beautiful girl with pure eyes next to him. The latter had a brilliant smile and bright eyes.

"Senior, senior."

"Where is Wuhuo?"
