Having lived in this world for so long, he has learned some common sense: no matter how high one's cultivation level is, one is still afraid of the ravages of time. No matter how amazing or powerful a person is in history, they will eventually turn into a handful of dust. There has never been a case of anyone being able to live forever.
Does the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra really have this effect?
No wonder cultivation is so arduous; even advancing to the next minor rank requires an enormous amount of Yuan Qi Fruits.
“Originally, the Emperor thought that you had all perished because you hadn’t found the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, and everyone was saddened for you for a long time,” Wei Dan changed the subject, “but later, those who investigated this incident discovered something suspicious.”
"Although your design was ingenious, making each corpse in the treasure-hunting team missing a part, pretending to have been attacked and eaten by a ferocious beast, and then cleverly piecing together an extra corpse to replace you," Wei Dan's face showed a hint of admiration, "it's just that your corpse was the only one missing a head, which inevitably aroused suspicion. So the investigation team didn't close the case until later, when we learned from a young eunuch who had served you that you had a hidden feature on your back, we were able to confirm that the corpse was an imposter."

He couldn't help but admire him; Old Man Mi was truly audacious, daring to embezzle even the emperor's property.
Old Man Mi sighed: "Actually, the reason I did this back then was because I couldn't find the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra and was worried about being purged after returning to the palace. In addition, I was already tired of the intrigue and backstabbing in the palace, so I came up with this plan to escape. Why did Eunuch Wei have to press me so hard?"
"Didn't find the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra?" Wei Dan sneered. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Hand it over, and I might plead with the Emperor to spare your life."

I can't hold on any longer, the third update will have to wait until tomorrow. I have to admit my body isn't as healthy as it used to be. Back then, I could stay up all night playing games until midnight without a problem, but now I'm incredibly sleepy at this hour.
