The vast starry sky, with its dazzling stars, exudes a desolate and lonely atmosphere, as if there is not a trace of life.
An old man in linen clothes was sitting cross-legged under the starry sky. The vast aura he exuded made everyone hold their breath.
Snap!
The old man in hemp clothes opened his eyes, and two bright rays of light pierced through the sky, as sharp as lightning, as if they could penetrate everyone's heart.
“You’re finally here!”
The old man in sackcloth clothes spoke slowly, his voice was extremely old, with a sense of vicissitudes and sadness.
"who are you?!"
Someone couldn't help but ask, with a look of extreme fear in his eyes.
In the nine-story pagoda, the first eight floors were dead silent and filled with endless white bones, and there was also a strange storm of ashes. But on the ninth floor, a living person suddenly appeared, making everyone feel a little nervous.
"I am the Hunyuan Dan Saint. Aren't you here just to get my inheritance?"
The old man in hemp clothes spoke calmly, his eyes were calm and deep. No one could tell what was hidden beneath his eyes.
"Hunyuan Dan Sheng? This name is so unfamiliar!"
There was a look of great confusion in everyone's eyes.
However, Lin Xi, Xiao Rui, Tie Xinyuan and Huang Xuanzong couldn't help but tremble all over, with an expression of disbelief in their eyes.
“Hunyuan Dansheng? You are the peerless Dansheng of the Sun and Moon Dan Sect in ancient times? How is this possible?!”
Lin Xi's face was slightly pale, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
You know, the era in which Hunyuan Dan Sheng lived was the period of the ancient saints, which was hundreds of millions of years away from now. It was a thing that happened countless epochs ago. It is impossible for a saint to live beyond an epoch. Could it be that this Hunyuan Dan Sheng has already achieved enlightenment and become an emperor
"Impossible! The Hunyuan Dan Saint died a long time ago. A saint cannot live for so many years. You are not the Hunyuan Dan Saint at all. Who are you?"
Xiao Rui and Tie Xinyuan couldn't believe it either, and stared at the old man in hemp clothes and asked.
"I am indeed the Primordial Pill Saint. Others may not be able to live for so many years, but I can! I am an immortal body. The sky cannot destroy me, the earth cannot take me away, and even the epochal catastrophe cannot do anything to me. What's so strange about my survival until now?"
The old man in hemp clothes smiled calmly, but there was a kind of arrogance in his eyes that looked down on the world.
"Hunyuan Dan Sheng?"
Ling Xiao was also shocked. The blind Taoist told him that this was the secret realm of Hunyuan Dan Sheng, but he didn't expect that Hunyuan Dan Sheng was not dead but still alive
"Hmm? No! There is no life in him at all, he is full of death. Although the blood and energy in his body are very strong, it is still difficult to cover up the trace of decay and death. He should have died a long time ago, why is he still alive?"
Ling Xiao's heart was shocked. He obtained the secrets of life and death from Musashi Mountain and had an extremely deep understanding of the origin of life and death. Perhaps others could feel that this old man in hemp clothes was full of majestic blood and powerful life energy, as if he was in his prime.
But Ling Xiao could feel that beneath that majestic energy and blood, there was endless death energy, exhausted life, and a body and soul that should have perished long ago.
In other words, the old man in hemp clothes had lived long enough to die, and he should have turned into dust long ago.
"Immortal body?"
Hearing the words of the old man in hemp clothes, everyone was shocked.
Throughout the ages, in all the worlds, who dares to claim to be immortal? Even if one is as powerful as the emperor, in the end, isn't he buried in the years, unable to resist the passage of time
Even the emperor cannot achieve true immortality, so how can a mere Hunyuan Dan Sheng achieve it
"Senior, since you are still alive, why don't you leave here?"
Huang Xuanzong asked cautiously.
After all, what they saw and heard in the previous eight levels of space made everyone feel a strong atmosphere of conspiracy. Everyone was still wary of the old man in hemp clothes in front of them. Regardless of whether he was a Hunyuan Dan Sheng or not, everyone remained sufficiently alert.
“Although I am still alive, and my cultivation has almost reached the pinnacle, and I am only one step away from the realm of the Supreme Emperor, I still have an obsession that I have not fulfilled. I must fulfill this obsession before I can come out of retreat and reach the pinnacle! So you have obtained my inheritance, which is equivalent to helping me fulfill my obsession. This is your opportunity and fortune, and it is also my hope for coming out of retreat!”
The old man in hemp clothes smiled calmly, his eyes extremely bright.
"Obsession? Then how can we help the senior fulfill his obsession?"
Lin Xi asked cautiously.
"You are a girl with extraordinary talent. You may become a Dan Sheng in the future! It seems that you are the one who has the greatest hope of inheriting my legacy! Not bad, not bad..."
The old man in hemp clothes looked at Lin Xi in surprise, and then continued: "Then let me tell you the requirements for your inheritance. Among all the memory stars around me, they are the crystallization of my memories and various martial arts skills, but only one memory star is my true inheritance! Whoever gets that memory star first will be able to get my inheritance and become my last disciple!"
"Memory Star?"
Everyone was stunned and looked carefully at the stars around them.
Buzz!
Those stars shone brilliantly and looked cold and lonely, no different from real stars. However, when people looked closely, they found that those stars emitted extremely mysterious runes, which seemed to seal some extremely mysterious spiritual fluctuations.
Memory Star, this is actually the Memory Star of Hunyuan Dan Sheng!
However, there are so many memory stars surrounding the old man in sackcloth clothes, and no one knows how many of them there are. There must be at least tens of thousands of them. How difficult would it be to find the memory star that truly contains the old man in sackcloth clothes' heritage among so many memory stars
"Senior, we saw countless corpses in the first eight layers of space. They were all wearing the Taoist robes of the Sun and Moon Sect... Do you know how they died?"
Lin Xi looked at the old man in hemp clothes again and asked slowly.
Everyone's heart couldn't help but rise. This was also the issue that everyone was most concerned about. The scenes in front were too horrifying. There were originally tens of thousands of people, but eight out of ten of them were killed in the first eight floors of space. People couldn't help but doubt the origin of those corpses.
"Those... are indeed the disciples and elders of my Sun Moon Pill Sect!"
The old man in hemp clothes trembled all over, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, and he began to slowly tell the story to everyone.
