In the world of cultivating immortals, apart from Xu Sheng, there should be no one at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage who can live for more than 20,000 years.

This is because Xu Sheng's original foundation is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, which makes his cultivation much stronger than that of cultivators at the same level, which in turn causes Xu Sheng's body to age much slower than that of cultivators at the same level.

When ordinary cultivators reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, they have at least aged to middle age, and only then can they begin to prolong their lives at the rate of physical aging at the 'peak of the Nascent Soul Realm'.

As for Xu Sheng, he has been using his "higher cultivation level at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm" to slow down the aging of his body and prolong his life since he was a little stone monster that just gained consciousness.

So it was only Xu Sheng who could live for more than 20,000 years.

Other Nascent Soul cultivators basically cannot do that.

"Here it comes again, the inner demon illusion!"

At this time, Xu Sheng, who was more than 20,000 years old and was sitting cross-legged, had entered the calamity of the inner demon again.

This time, Xu Sheng returned to Wanxianmen in the illusion, only to find that Wanxian Mountain had been dilapidated into ruins and Mu Hongling had disappeared.

In the end, Mu Hongling was unable to wait for Xu Sheng, who took lifetime after lifetime to return to Wanxianmen, so the two of them missed each other forever.

"So, I feel guilty towards my master because I took too long to return to Wanxianmen, so I have this inner demon?"

Xu Shengfei said to himself above the ruined Wanxian Mountain: "But how can a little devil stop me!"

"Love is just a seasoning of life, and my real goal is always eternal life!"

He shook his head and said, "Master is gone now. Although I do feel a little guilty for not letting her wait for my return, this will not affect my pursuit of eternal life in the slightest!"

“Even if the end of eternal life is that everything is destroyed, the world is destroyed, and I am the only one left alive!”

He said with a firm look in his eyes: "I can also enjoy my infinite life leisurely!"

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng turned around in the illusion and flew away from the dilapidated Wanxian Mountains.

"boom!!!"

And the entire illusory world was shattered into pieces at this moment.

Xu Sheng's determination to pursue the truth finally enabled him to successfully overcome his inner demons.

After waking up, Xu Sheng was still sitting cross-legged in the desert.

And the origin of his stone monster has undergone a transformation.

The energy around his body was flowing up and down crazily.

"The Dharma Realm!"

After a period of time, Xu Sheng's energy had calmed down and the aura on his body had turned into the Dharma Realm.

The 'Nascent Soul' that broke out of the 'Golden Pill' in the origin of his sea of ​​consciousness has turned into an extraordinary tall 'Dharma Image' with more than a thousand arms!

"Human body, transformation!"

Afterwards, Xu Sheng directly activated the magic power of the Dharma Realm to flow into his stone monster body.

After a while, the huge stone monster gradually became smaller and turned into a human form.

“Success!”

At this time, a tornado carrying yellow sand was rolling towards Xu Sheng, who was standing in the desert in human form. However, Xu Sheng's magic power was flowing around his body, so that the tornado had no way to get close to him.

Xu Sheng looked at the white clouds in the sky through the yellow sand and said to himself: "Three lifetimes and tens of thousands of years have passed before I finally overcame the inner demon tribulation! It was not easy!"

Thinking back on the past few lives, Xu Sheng was filled with emotion.

"Master, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Afterwards, Xu Sheng took out new clothes of a person he had killed before from the space ring and put them on. He then directly activated the power of the Dharma Realm to wrap his body up in the air. Then with a roar, he turned into a ray of light and shot into the sky.

Although Xu Sheng was reincarnated as a stone in this life.

But he is actually a living stone monster.

Therefore, the human body he transformed into at this time also had the same skin and temperature as a normal person.

Therefore, when he left the desert and entered the mortal world ruled by the Immortal Sect, Xu Sheng, who was originally a demon, naturally concealed his own aura.

At this time, Xu Sheng had no intention of going back to Wanxianmen to wake up Mu Hongling directly.

After all, Xu Sheng is quite old now.

So what if Mu Hongling is awakened?

Let her wake up and look at her face full of wrinkles and age spots?

Therefore, Xu Sheng wanted to wake Mu Hongling up in the next life.

He went back now just to see if Mu Hongling was okay.

In the blink of an eye, it was two years later.

Xu Sheng quietly crossed the areas ruled by several major immortal sects and returned to the foot of Wanxian Mountain.

"Fortunately, Wanxianmen is still here!"

Looking at the tall Wanxian Mountain, Xu Sheng smiled with his wrinkled face and said to himself, "Master should still be here!"

Before, Xu Sheng was really worried that the situation that Wanxianmen would be in ruins after he returned from his inner demon illusion would come true.

But now it seems not.

Today, the world is still ruled by the eight major immortal sects.

It is unknown whether the demise of Huaxian Sect was caused by some huge interests or hatred.

But obviously no such interests or hatred have appeared in the past tens of thousands of years.

The minor frictions among the major immortal sects did not lead to a life-and-death battle.

But then Xu Sheng still frowned.

Because after asking around, he found out that all his fellow disciples on Hongling Peak had died.

Jiang Lu, Sun Yuanba, as well as the eldest and second eldest brothers and others are no longer alive!

Sun Yuanba, who had only cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, died in the inner demon calamity 20,000 years ago.

Therefore, Xu Sheng had to think about the question of "How can I, as a transformed demon, enter the depths of Wanxianmen?"

Ordinary people naturally cannot see through Xu Sheng's disguise when he uses the Great No-Appearance Technique.

But if you want to become a disciple of Wanxianmen or even enter the depths of the sect, you will have to go through a lot of screening.

Although none of the disciples of the same generation as Xu Sheng on Hongling Peak were able to cultivate and become a virtual immortal.

However, since there are too many disciples in Wanxian Sect, the number of powerful people in Wanxian Sect now is no less than that in the past!

Talented people emerge in every generation!

Over the past tens of thousands of years, many new powerful virtual immortals have been born in the Wanxian Sect.

Although some people did not have the amazing reputation of "genius" like Xu Sheng at the beginning of their practice, which was brought about by his accumulation of several lifetimes of cheating.

But their faith in Taoism was firm and pure, and they successfully overcame disasters one after another!

It’s not like Xu Sheng was trapped in the inner demon calamity for several lifetimes because his Tao faith was not strong.

Anyway, there are many powerful people at the virtual immortal level in the sect now, and they may be able to see through Xu Sheng's disguise.

It is a serious provocation for a demon to sneak into the base camp of an immortal sect!

It is very likely that they will be captured and killed as elements with bad intentions.

Although Xu Sheng is quite old now, he feels that it would not be a big deal even if he was discovered and killed.

But Xu Sheng still decided to act relatively safely.

In the blink of an eye, it was three years later.

After understanding the situation, Xu Sheng finally took action.

The specific plan he had come up with now was to kidnap a disciple of the Wanxian Sect and then enter with him in the identity of a spirit beast that the disciple had subdued.

In the letter Xu Sheng left to Mu Hongling, he once wrote that if possible, he would let Mu Hongling sleep in the cave of the senior brother who saved her.

So if Xu Sheng wanted to see with his own eyes whether Mu Hongling was okay or not, he naturally had to go to the cave in Wanxianmen.

The target chosen by Xu Sheng was a young man named Xu who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Xu Sheng estimated that it was very likely his descendant!

The reason for this choice was that Xu Sheng heard that this young man named Xu was loyal and righteous and especially valued his wife and daughter.

Therefore, on this day, Xu Sheng seized the opportunity at a location outside Wanxian Mountain and captured the three members of the family.

Then Xu Sheng blindfolded the three of them and took his wife and daughter to a secluded place and settled them there.

After setting up numerous magical arrays around them to prevent anyone from harming them, he came back and asked the young man named Xu to take him into the Wanxian Gate, risking the lives of his wife and daughter.

"Despicable demon!"

The young man surnamed Xu said angrily: "Kill me if you have the guts!"

"I'm brave!"

Xu Sheng said: "But I won't kill you!"

After all, this young man should be Xu Sheng’s child.

However, since the relationship between ancestors and descendants is separated by countless generations, it would be difficult for the other party to treat them as family members if it was revealed, and it would also expose one's secret of reincarnation.

Therefore, Xu Sheng, who likes to weigh the pros and cons, naturally would not choose to recognize this young man.

"I will never betray my sect!"

The young man said stubbornly: "It's impossible to die!"

"I won't force you if you don't want to!"

Xu Sheng said calmly: "But if you don't listen to me and I don't come back within a certain period of time, your wife and daughter may suffer a torture worse than death!"

At this moment Xu Sheng felt like a villain.

But Xu Sheng had no choice.

He had originally thought about waiting for the young man's family to encounter any danger and then saving them. Then they would help him sincerely and take him into the Wanxian Gate.

However, there was no opportunity for Xu Sheng to help, and Xu Sheng felt that even if he saved them, they would not take the initiative to bring him into the Wanxian Gate.

It would be better to achieve the goal simply and crudely in such a shameless but useful way.

"Don't mess around, I'll take you into the sect!"

And the young man really surrendered and said, "I agree!"

Afterwards, Xu Sheng followed the young man into the Wanxian Gate as his spirit beast.

Xu Sheng was lucky enough not to encounter any powerful virtual immortals along the way.

Although such an action is still a little risky.

But Xu Sheng is already quite old and there is nothing to be afraid of.

In the end, Xu Sheng successfully reached a slightly deeper part of Wanxian Gate and a few days later he found an opportunity to reach the target cave.

There was no one guarding the cave, only a magic circle covering it.

Xu Sheng knew at a glance that these magic arrays were set up by Mu Hongling herself.

It is difficult for strong people below the level of Xuxian to break into the formation by force, and if the formation is broken by force, Mu Hongling will wake up immediately.

However, Xu Sheng naturally knew how to pass through these formations without alerting Mu Hongling.

After all, Xu Sheng and Mu Hongling had spent quite a long time together.

These formations that others don’t know how to pass through have no secrets in front of Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng quickly and quietly passed through the formations and entered them, and soon arrived in front of the ice coffin of the senior brother that Mu Hongling had saved her from.

At this time, the red-haired Mu Hongling was lying in the ice coffin.

With the blessing of the mysterious method of Great Sleep, Mu Hongling still has fair skin and beautiful looks as before tens of thousands of years later.

Xu Sheng walked forward and touched the ice coffin while looking at Mu Hongling lying inside and said, "Master, I'm back."

At this moment, Xu Sheng really wanted to wake Mu Hongling up and talk to her.

However, looking at his own wrinkled face reflected in the ice coffin, Xu Sheng just looked at Mu Hongling through the ice coffin for a while and then left.

Xu Sheng decided to wait until the next life and come here with a young appearance to wake Mu Hongling up.

A few hours later, Xu Sheng took the young man named Xu and left Wanxianmen.

"Where did you go after you knocked me out?"

The young man surnamed Xu asked Xu Sheng, "Have you done anything that is detrimental to our sect?"

But Xu Sheng did not explain anything to the young man surnamed Xu.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm." After saying just this, she silently took him flying all the way.

The young man surnamed Xu was still a little nervous and uneasy at this time, fearing that Xu Sheng would kill his entire family of three to silence them.

But at this time he had no chance to break away from Xu Sheng's action, so he could only fly with Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng was just too lazy to talk nonsense at this time.

He planned to take the young man named Xu to reunite with his wife and daughter, and then leave alone to find a place to hide and practice until he died.

However, what no one expected was that when Xu Sheng's first stop in reproduction on this immortal planet was a mortal country called Da'an, which was under the rule of Wanxianmen.

Suddenly, a ball of black energy suddenly exploded in one direction, and countless mortals in the Da'an Kingdom burst into screams.

Wherever the black gas passed, mortals were corroded and died at an extremely fast speed!

Xu Sheng and the young man named Xu next to him couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw this.

Because this is obviously the demonic energy exerted by a cultivator who practices magic!

"How dare you!"

"Demon cultivator, stop!"

“Stop him!”

At this moment, several voices burst out from the black air.

At the same time, the magic power of pure orthodox monks exploded.

More than a dozen disciples from the Wanxian Sect joined forces to deal with the evil cultivator.

Xu Sheng guessed at first glance that what happened was probably that a dozen disciples of the Wanxian Sect accidentally discovered this evil cultivator who practiced magic by killing innocent lives while walking in the mortal world!

The demon cultivator immediately realized that he had been discovered by the disciples of the Immortal Sect and he immediately unleashed his magic power and fought desperately.

In just a very short period of time, hundreds of thousands of mortals died tragically!

The dozen or so disciples of Wanxian Sect were obviously no match for this demon cultivator who was unleashing his magical powers.

They could only rely on the combined attack formation to barely stop the evil cultivator from wreaking havoc.

Of course, this is after all within the area ruled by the Wanxian Sect. These disciples do not need to kill the demon cultivator directly, but only need to delay him for a while and prevent him from killing more mortals.

However, after the devil's magic power absorbed the blood and energy of hundreds of thousands of mortals in an instant, it became even more terrifying, so it almost broke the combined attack formation of more than a dozen disciples of the Wanxian Sect.

"not good."

At this moment, the young man named Xu beside Xu Sheng's face changed, and without hesitation he mobilized his magic power to fly towards the dozen or so disciples of Wanxian Sect.

Xu Sheng didn't know that the young man surnamed Xu was doing this for justice reasons at this time.

Or he wanted to take this opportunity to get out of his control and then quietly notify the higher-ups of the sect to follow him.

After all, if Xu Sheng were this young man named Xu, he would also want to do this.

First of all, the young man surnamed Xu is no match for Xu Sheng in terms of strength.

The young man surnamed Xu's wife and daughter fell into Xu Sheng's hands.

Therefore, the situation of the young man surnamed Xu is actually very insecure.

It is possible that Xu Sheng will really kill the three members of the family to silence them.

But if we can quietly notify the sect's top leaders to follow us, we might be able to turn the tables.

However, Xu Sheng did not stop the young man named Xu at this time.

After all, it is very likely that most of the mortals in Da'an Kingdom today have intermarried with Xu Sheng's descendants.

This naturally means that these mortals are likely to be one of Xu Sheng's bloodlines that can be reincarnated.

Therefore, Xu Sheng did not want these mortals to continue to be killed in large numbers at this time.

If this young man named Xu and these disciples of the immortal sect could find a way to stop this evil cultivator, Xu Sheng would naturally be happy to see it happen.

Xu Sheng himself didn't want to take action at this time.

After all, this is still the area ruled by Wanxianmen.

As a demon, it is not a good idea for him to act recklessly here.

As long as the young man surnamed Xu and these disciples of the immortal sect can delay this evil cultivator for a period of time so that the high-level powerful people of Wanxian Sect can arrive.

Then this evil cultivator would naturally be dead.

All Xu Sheng had to do was to quietly leave here and release the young man's wife and daughter.

However, unexpectedly, things turned out to be beyond Xu Sheng's expectations.

Even if the young man surnamed Xu joined the dozen or so disciples of the immortal sect, he would not be able to contend with this extremely powerful demon cultivator. And at this moment, while the demon cultivator was fleeing at a high speed, the black energy on his body continued to spread out, corroding and sucking dry more mortals!

"stop!"

Seeing that hundreds of thousands of mortals were about to die and no one else came out to stop the evil cultivator, Xu Sheng could not help but shout coldly and kill him.

The arms of the Thousand-Armed Dharma Image in the sea of ​​consciousness began to dance!

The powerful magic power outside condensed into a huge palm and roared towards the demon cultivator!

Then there was a loud bang and the demon cultivator was hit and flew backwards.

The demon cultivator who wanted to escape while madly absorbing the energy from mortals changed his expression.

"You're looking for death."

Of course, the demon cultivator knew that he didn't have much time to waste, so his face immediately became ferocious. He didn't know what secret method he used, but in an instant a ball of black fire burned on his body.

And at this moment, the aura on his body, which was already at the Dharma Realm, became even more ferocious and terrifying!

He also slammed out a terrifying palm print formed by thick black energy and slapped it towards Xu Sheng. At the same time, the black energy behind him was still spreading out, trying to cover and absorb countless panicked mortals as a subsequent energy replenishment for itself!

"Great Burning Life Technique!"

Feeling the powerful strength of this demon cultivator, Xu Sheng mobilized his magic power to move sideways in the air to dodge the attack. At the same time, he used his secret method of burning his life without any hesitation.

With green flames burning on his body, Xu Sheng instantly became so old that his teeth were about to fall out of his mouth.

"die!"

Then, a terrifying palm condensed in front of Xu Sheng with his palm open, which directly blew up the black palm print of the demon cultivator. The next moment, it grabbed the demon cultivator's body and crushed it with a bang.

The black air that enveloped the mortal suddenly dissipated as the body of the demon cultivator was crushed with a scream.

Countless mortals who survived the catastrophe and were thus spared from death could not help but feel fear when they saw the once prosperous area becoming desolate and empty after hundreds of thousands of people had died.

At this moment, the young man named Xu and the dozen or so other disciples of Wanxian Sect were also stunned.

They were almost killed just now!

They survived because the evil cultivator greedily wanted to suck them dry as well and Xu Sheng rescued them in time.

Although some of their energy was sucked away, it did not have much impact on them.

At this moment, they were all looking in shock at Xu Sheng, who was extremely old and had a head full of dry hair and had killed the demon cultivator in the air.
