Chapter 423

"Shedding Mortality, Primordial Spirit, Mysterious Penetration, Immortal Spirit... Four major realms, among which there are many small realms. Only by proving the Immortal Spirit can one achieve immortality and long-term vision. According to Mr. Su, in the current world, the top experts can only barely be considered to be in the Primordial Spirit Realm. This immortality is really hard to seek!"

After listening to Su Xuan's explanation of the realms, Ying Zheng was both emotional and a bit disappointed.

The emotion is that Su Xuan spoke with reason and evidence; cultivation can indeed prove immortality. But the disappointment is that wanting to obtain immortality through cultivation is more difficult than ascending to heaven. Although Ying Zheng is conceited, he is not naive enough to think that his cultivation aptitude is one in ten thousand, surpassing ten thousand people. Even the top experts in the Wu Xia world are only barely in the Primordial Spirit Realm. After the Primordial Spirit, there is the Mysterious Penetration Realm, and only after crossing the Mysterious Penetration can one become an immortal.

Ying Zheng does not think he can obtain immortality through cultivation.

Although he said he had no time for cultivation, if there was a chance to achieve immortality, Ying Zheng obviously did not want to let it go.

Su Xuan heard the disappointment in Ying Zheng's words and said: "A mortal life is no more than a hundred years. Cultivation itself is a process of going against the heavens, needing to compete with the heavens, the earth, and people. If you want to go from a life of no more than a hundred years to immortality and long-term vision, it is normal for the difficulty to be very high. But if you look at it from another angle, treat achieving immortality as the ultimate goal, and treat increasing your lifespan by one hundred or two hundred years as the steps, arriving at the destination step by step like this, and proving immortality, it is actually not very difficult!"

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng listened to Su Xuan's argument and could not help but develop curiosity again.

Su Xuan explained: "It is not that you can obtain immortality by achieving the Immortal Spirit, but because you can achieve immortality, you are considered an Immortal Spirit!"

"Practitioners, from the beginning of stepping into cultivation, are actually in a process of changing their destiny against the heavens. Every time they step into a new stage, they will have gains, either a great increase in strength or a great increase in lifespan. Although the top experts in the current world, such as Beimingzi of the Daoist Heavenly Sect and the former Yin-Yang School Sect Master Donghuang Taiyi, are only in the Heaven-Man Realm, barely considered the early stage of the Primordial Spirit, and are far from the Immortal Spirit that can achieve immortality and long-term vision, they have not proven immortality, which does not mean they are short-lived ghosts. With their current strength, if there are no accidents, living for two hundred years should be no problem."

"Beimingzi of the Heavenly Sect is now about one hundred years old. Assuming he can live for two hundred years, that is to say, he has one hundred years of lifespan left. If he makes progress in strength again within these one hundred years and increases his lifespan by another hundred years, it is not a difficult thing. As long as he continues to break through before his lifespan is exhausted, his lifespan can still increase. For mortals whose lifespan is no more than a hundred years, wanting to become an immortal in a short life is very difficult. But if the lifespan increases to several hundred years, using several hundred years to seek the Immortal Dao, does Your Majesty still think this is very difficult?"

Ying Zheng was stunned.

He only thought that becoming an immortal through cultivation could lead to immortality, but he ignored that during the cultivation process, progress in strength could increase lifespan. Cultivation is difficult, but if the lifespan is abundant, relying on time to grind, one can also ascend to a very profound realm.

"I will not hide it from Mr. Su. After listening to Mr. Su's words, I have indeed developed great interest in cultivation. Please impart the path of cultivation to me, Mr. Su!"

Even if there is not so much time for cultivation, as long as you spend a little time every day to persist, there will always be gains.

Perhaps you cannot achieve immortality, but if you can make your body stronger and healthier and increase your lifespan, this is also a good thing.

Su Xuan listened to Ying Zheng's words and smiled faintly. Immediately, he began to explain the cultivation methods to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng had not been exposed to the cultivation techniques of the current world. Although he was slightly proficient in some swordsmanship, he was not a practitioner of the Yin-Yang School or the Daoist School after all, so he did not know the difference between the cultivation methods Su Xuan explained and the original cultivation methods of these sects.

From another angle, a student like Ying Zheng was easier for Su Xuan to teach. He was like a piece of uncut jade; he did whatever Su Xuan said.

People of the Yin-Yang School, because of the influence of their original cultivation concepts, found it somewhat difficult to switch to the Qi refining technique Su Xuan imparted.

In the following period, every evening, Su Xuan would enter the Zhangtai Palace to explain the path of cultivation to Ying Zheng. The reason it was evening was, of course, because Ying Zheng was busy with government affairs during the day, and only in the evening could he spare some time.

In order to facilitate lecturing to Ying Zheng, Su Xuan did not return to the Yin-Yang School but lived in his residence in Xianyang.

This residence, because it had not been lived in for a long time, was covered with a thick layer of dust. Now that Su Xuan was living in it again, it could be considered to have some vitality again.

Not far from this residence was Gai Nie's mansion.

When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, because Gai Nie had merit in protecting the King, he was heavily rewarded by Ying Zheng. Later, after the Canhong sword was recast, because Jing Ke was unwilling to hold that sword again, Ying Zheng gave the sword, which was renamed "Yuanhong" after recasting, to Gai Nie.

Later, the Mohist School surrendered to the Qin Guo, and Mohist disciples often walked in the Qin Guo. When Su Xuan noticed Gai Nie's mansion not far away, two figures happened to walk into it together.

Jing Ke, and Gai Nie!

Seeing these two figures, Su Xuan could not help but feel some emotion. He could be considered to have done a good deed. At least, these two good friends in the original work would no longer hold swords against each other.
