Chapter 500

~8 min read 1,440 words

In the understanding of ordinary people, what Genghis Khan didn't do could only be failing to unify the world!

For Temujin, this must be his greatest regret!

But the time Ban Jie Li was in was the modern era, and the world pattern had gradually stabilized, so what Chale'gai said definitely wasn't about hegemony.

Many people, like Ban Jie Li, thought of the Land of Eternal Life!

Chale'gai's meaning was very much like saying that Genghis Khan didn't achieve his ultimate goal in the Land of Eternal Life?

This guess left those who knew that Temujin might still be alive confused.

Zhang Lin continued: "Everyone, Chale'gai's mental state that night was nearly crazy; he told Ban Jie Li many things, and all of them were in the language of the Borjigin clan."

"But just like Genghis Khan accidentally revealing secrets due to a slip of the tongue, Chale'gai would inevitably feel regret after sobering up."

"Ban Jie Li had little experience in the world, but he was best at drawing inferences; he intuitively felt that the Chale'gai now was just like Genghis Khan at that time!"

"So, if he had any other questions, he had to ask them all at once now, otherwise there would be no such opportunity in the future!"

The audience below heard this, their emotions stirred, and they also became nervous.

Although they already knew that Chale'gai had developed murderous intent toward Ban Jie Li, they still hoped that Ban Jie Li would find out as many secrets as possible.

It was like walking a tightrope on a cliff; although it looked dangerous, it was exciting!

Isn't that the fun of listening to a story?

"After Ban Jie Li had an idea in his heart, he immediately decided to ask clearly about the Land of Eternal Life."

"Although he didn't know what the Land of Eternal Life was, he had heard many myths and stories since childhood, and after entering the tomb-raiding trade, he understood even more about the ancients' views on immortality."

"So Ban Jie Li felt in his heart that the so-called Land of Eternal Life was the method of immortality that the emperor Genghis Khan was looking for."

"Although Ban Jie Li was a small apprentice, he actually had no thoughts about immortality in his heart; what he wanted most was to earn enough money to live a good life with his sister-in-law."

"But it was also because of Ban Jie Li's sister-in-law that he became interested in the Land of Eternal Life."

"There is no woman who is not afraid of getting old; Ban Jie Li remembered that a sentence his sister-in-law often said was that by the time Ban Jie Li reached his prime, she would already be old and withered!"

"Ban Jie Li's feelings for his sister-in-law were unusual; thinking of what his sister-in-law said, he simply felt that his sister-in-law was afraid of getting old."

"If he could find the Land of Eternal Life and obtain the method of immortality, then his sister-in-law would definitely be very happy, and she wouldn't reject living with him anymore!"

"Thinking of this, Ban Jie Li seized the opportunity to ask Chale'gai: Is the Land of Eternal Life something that can make people live forever?"

"Who knew that when Chale'gai heard the words 'live forever', a look of disdain appeared on his face."

"Then he said to Ban Jie Li: What is living forever? Living in this world, just living forever is boring; the most interesting thing is to become an immortal or a god! Genghis Khan had such an opportunity, but he didn't seize it; this time, I must seize it!"

"Ban Jie Li was confused and could only continue to ask: But aren't we here to excavate Genghis Khan's imperial mausoleum? Could it be that there is something in the mausoleum that can make people become immortals?"

"Chale'gai turned around and pinched Ban Jie Li's arm, his tone grim: Yes! Genghis Khan's imperial mausoleum is the entrance to the Land of Eternal Life! As long as I can reach the Land of Eternal Life, I can have whatever I want and become a real immortal!"

At this moment, the audience below the stage felt a stir in their hearts when they heard this.

The Land of Eternal Life can make people have whatever they want?

Isn't that getting whatever you wish for?!

Why does it sound more and more like Zhang Lin's previous description of the Lei Chi of the Thunder-Listening Clan?

Zhang Lin said that if there is an opportunity to enter the Lei Chi, one can not only obtain the Thunder-Listening Technique but also obtain an unknown ability!

To some extent, this still doesn't reach the level of getting whatever you wish for.

But the legends about Lei Cheng and the Lei Chi are very few, and there are almost none circulating outside.

If there is a situation of hearsay and exaggeration, it is understandable!

Perhaps the person who said it at the beginning meant that entering the Land of Eternal Life can obtain abilities comparable to gods.

Then it might have spread to become Chale'gai's current statement.

Generally, the more fantastic something is, the easier it is for exaggerated legends to appear!

Because the audience had already been spoiled by Zhang Lin about the function of the Lei Chi, they heard Chale'gai say this at this moment.

Suddenly, they had a feeling of listening to the story from a God's perspective!

They also couldn't wait to know if this so-called Land of Eternal Life was Lei Cheng?

If it was, then they could hear the method of how to enter Lei Cheng from Ban Jie Li's story!

In the office on the second floor of the Crescent Hotel, Zhang Yueshan looked at Zhang Lin's indifferent expression on the stage.

He couldn't help but ask Yin Nanfeng: "The Land of Eternal Life, if it really is Lei Cheng, why do you think someone like Genghis Khan didn't succeed in entering?"

"Instead, it was Ban Jie Li, a layman, who got in?"

Yin Nanfeng sneered, "I think you're obsessed; things like opportunities never depend on status or position."

"Opportunities are about fate; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many legends of beggars becoming immortals."

"So what if it's Genghis Khan? If the Land of Eternal Life the Mongols speak of is really Lei Cheng."

"Then for the Thunder-Listening Clan, what is Genghis Khan?"

"The Thunder-Listeners can even manipulate history; what's strange about looking down on human emperors?"

Zhang Yueshan sighed and nodded slightly: "I estimate that what Genghis Khan said is true; he regarded the people of the Thunder-Listening Clan as gods!"

"This grassland pride might not have noticed the existence of the Thunder-Listening Clan until his death."

"He never possessed the Never-Lose Stone, so he always regarded the Thunder-Listening Clan who communicated with him as gods!"

"I wonder if this can be considered pathetic?"

Yin Nanfeng said: "What's pathetic about that? If you are not a fish, how do you know the joy of a fish?"

"Temujin believed that the Thunder-Listeners were gods, so he felt even more that he was the chosen one!"

"The confidence this brought him is actually on par with the effect of the Never-Lose Stone."

"It's just that the item is a bit strange; why didn't the Thunder-Listeners give the Never-Lose Stone to Genghis Khan in those years, but instead sent people to contact him?"

"Actually, for an emperor, sometimes trust in people is far less than a stone."

Yin Nanfeng was not wrong about this; emperors are lonely people and are the least likely to trust others.

The Thunder-Listening Clan using the Never-Lose Stone to guide Genghis Khan is actually much better than them coming forward themselves.

Yin Nanfeng estimated that Genghis Khan being able to know about the Land of Eternal Life was the bargaining chip used by the Thunder-Listeners to gain his trust.

Tempting the emperor with immortality, impersonating gods or messengers of gods, promising Genghis Khan that he could enter the Land of Eternal Life when he was about to die, return to his youth, and live forever!

Zhang Yueshan and Yin Nanfeng both felt that this guess was closest to the truth.

Zhang Yueshan said thoughtfully: "Not using the Never-Lose Stone, the biggest possibility is that the Never-Lose Stone at that time had problems, or was not under the control of the Thunder-Listeners!"

"It's just that this is strange; the Thunder-Listening Clan has been using this stone since the Qin and Han dynasties."

"What kind of accident happened that made even the Thunder-Listening Clan unable to control this stone?"
