"Please enlighten me, Celestial Immortal, what is this alternative form of immortality? And how did Jian Yue attain immortality?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Fusu.
Many people showed expressions of "I knew it".
The Qin Dynasty was certainly determined to obtain this secret to immortality.
After all, what they paid was only some money, which was nothing to the Qin Dynasty, which had plundered the wealth of the six states.
Many others felt grateful to Fusu.
This is equivalent to Fusu spending money to let everyone know this amazing secret.
Su Chen was not surprised by Fu Su's arrival and immediately accessed the system to check his information.
A short while later, the system responded:
"The fortune telling for Fusu was successful."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining a top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill."
Su Chen frowned slightly, as the name didn't reveal any specific effects.
But since it's a reward for Fusu's fortune telling, it shouldn't be bad. Even if I don't need it myself, I can share it with Ye Ruoyi and the others.
Thinking this way, Su Chen was in a great mood. He opened his folding fan and said loudly:
"I've said before that there are many unknown long-lived people in this world."
"But the methods they used to achieve immortality were all different."
"Generally speaking, all methods of achieving immortality can be divided into two categories."
"One type is normal longevity, which is achieved through self-cultivation to extend lifespan, such as the path of cultivating immortality."
"The other type is alternative immortality, which does not have the ability to live forever, but relies on external forces to achieve immortality."
"For example, Jian Yue, whom we are talking about this time, is immortal because he lives in a mysterious space without the laws of time."
"I've mentioned it before,"
"This world is far more mysterious than you imagine, and there are many unpredictable spaces within it."
"For example, the Haotian Divine Kingdom above the Heavenly Realm, and the Nine Void Sword Realm formed by the condensation of the will of countless martial artists."
"And the place where Jian Yue is located is a sword realm derived from the Nine Sky Sword Realm."
"In the long years since the birth of the Nine Sky Sword Realm, martial arts have become more and more prosperous, especially the number of swordsmen."
"The sword intent of these swordsmen converged and gradually formed a new world called 'Sword Realm'."
"Like the Nine Void Sword Realm, the Sword Realm is also a mysterious space that transcends reality, where the sword intent of almost all swordsmen in the world can be manifested."
"If the sword intent is upright and righteous, it will transform into a sword mountain in the sword realm. The stronger the sword intent, the higher the sword mountain."
"If the sword intent is cold and eerie, it will turn into waves and merge into the sword pool. The stronger the sword intent, the more turbulent the waves will be."
"The reason I say 'almost' is because the rules of the Sword Realm are far less powerful than those of the Nine Void Realm."
"The Nine Void Technique can absorb the martial spirit of all martial artists in the world at will."
"However, when the sword realm absorbs a swordsman's sword intent, it cannot absorb it if the sword intent is too strong."
"For example, when Huangfu Jian created the 'Six Annihilation Selfless Sword Twenty-Three', the Sword Realm wanted to absorb it, but it was directly severed by his sword intent."
"Simply put, the Sword Realm can only absorb the sword intent of swordsmen below the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings."
"If a swordsman's strength exceeds this level, his existence will completely disappear from the sword world."
"However, swordsmen who can reach this level are extremely rare."
"The vast majority of the remaining swordsmen can find their own mark of sword intent in the world of swords."
"The most amazing thing about the Sword Realm is that there is no concept of time; all life within it stops growing."
"Of course, for mortals to enter the Sword Realm is just as difficult as entering the Nine Void Realm; it is by no means an easy task."
"Only a few special methods can open the gates to the Sword Realm."
"And Jian Yue's Yuan Tian Sword Technique is one of the methods that can break through the gate of the Sword Realm."
"After mastering the Yuan Tian Sword Technique and the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source, his strength increased greatly, and he cleaved open the gate to the Sword Realm with a single sword strike."
“Jian Yue himself knew nothing about the Sword Realm; he was essentially brought in by force.”
"His 'Yuan Tian Sword Technique' can break through the gate of the sword realm, but it cannot return to the outside from inside."
"Therefore, Jian Yue has always been trapped in the Sword Realm."
"For many years, he was alone in the empty and silent Sword Realm, which was an endless torment that nearly drove him to a mental breakdown."
"It was precisely this mental torment that caused his sword heart to waver, preventing him from ever reaching the terrestrial Celestial Realm."
"Therefore, based on the overall assessment, he is temporarily ranked eighth on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in excitement.
Following the Nine Voids, another Sword Realm has emerged, formed by the convergence of sword intent from all the swordsmen in the world.
Everyone felt like they were listening to a fairy tale.
If these words hadn't come from Su Chen, they would never have believed that there were so many mysterious places in the world.
At the same time, they also understood what alternative immortality was.
From a certain perspective, Xie Zhize, the Grand Tutor of Beili State, can be considered an alternative form of immortality, as he can only stay in the No. 1 Building in the World.
This method of achieving immortality ultimately relies on external forces and is far less free and unrestrained than that of cultivators.
The hall immediately erupted in discussion:
"My God! Did I hear that right? Besides the Nine Void Realm, there's also the Sword Realm? Just how many mysterious places are there in this world?"
"Experts at the Celestial Longevity Realm are indeed formidable; even a place like the Sword Realm cannot contain their sword intent."
"So that's how Jian Yue lived for five hundred years. How is this any different from Xie Zhize? So-called immortality is actually a kind of torture."
"That's right! The immortality method of cultivating immortality is more reliable and freer. It's better to be free from this kind of alternative immortality sooner rather than later."
"Jian Yue is really unlucky. The Yuan Tian Sword Technique can only break through the sword realm from the outside, but it can't come out from the inside. It's like he locked himself up."
"It's a real pity about Jian Yue. With his talent in swordsmanship and mastery of two peerless sword techniques, he would have broken through to the Land Celestial Realm long ago if he were still outside. I wonder if he can still come out."
In front of the railing on the fifteenth floor.
After hearing this comment, Fusu frowned deeply.
This kind of immortality was not what he wanted, nor would it be what Ying Zheng wanted.
But for him, it wasn't a bad thing; at least he learned another secret.
He believed that this world was so mysterious that he would surely find a suitable way to achieve immortality.
Lost in thought, Fusu quickened his pace back to the private room, awaiting the next comment.
He both looked forward to hearing about new methods of achieving immortality and to news of the female land-based sword immortal from the Qin Dynasty.
After hearing Su Chen's evaluation of Jian Yue, he was convinced that the female sword immortal from Great Qin was definitely a master above the Celestial Realm on the Land.
Su Chen leisurely sipped his tea, and only after the murmurs subsided did he put down his teacup and say loudly:
"Next, let's comment on the next sword immortal on the list."
"The seventh person on the Sword Immortal Ranking is Jun Mo."
"He was originally just a resident of a small town in the State of Song. Because of his innate righteousness, he was recognized by the teachers of the Tang Academy and brought into the academy for further study."
"Junmo is now the second senior brother of the Tang Academy, and the true leader of the academy."
"Because the teacher and senior brother are often traveling around, Junmo manages almost all the affairs of the academy."
"Confucianism mainly cultivates the realm of celestial phenomena, but Jun Mo prefers the realm of finger profound understanding and has achieved great mastery in this realm."
"In terms of the Finger Profound Realm, Jun Mo and Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a are evenly matched."
Chapter 63 Nothing
"Therefore, his strength is extremely powerful. Although he has only taken a half step into the Land Celestial Realm, his combat power is enough to rival that of a true Land Celestial Realm expert."
"Unlike Deng Tai'a, Jun Mo's sword intent is upright and bright, just like the straight, square greatsword in his hand."
"If Deng Tai'a practices the sword of slaughter, then Jun Mo practices the sword of a gentleman."
"Although his integrity sometimes appears a bit stubborn, he has never been ambiguous when it comes to matters of principle."
"Besides swordsmanship, Junmo's achievements in Confucianism and Taoism are also quite remarkable. He can be described as both a scholar and a warrior. When he swings his sword, he exudes righteousness."
"So all things considered, he is currently ranked seventh."
When Su Chen announced that Jun Mo was the seventh-ranked Sword Immortal, the hall instantly erupted in excitement.
What surprised everyone first was Junmo's age.
He is the third sword immortal to be so young, following Lang Fanyun and Deng Tai'a.
Moreover, like Deng Tai'a, Jun Mo has reached an extremely high level of mastery in the Finger Profound Realm, and even possesses the ability to fight beyond his level.
Although he only had the cultivation level of a half-step terrestrial celestial being, he was able to contend with a true terrestrial celestial being powerhouse.
This made everyone deeply realize the unfathomable depth of the cultivation methods of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
Meanwhile, the Datang Academy, which has always kept a low profile, has also attracted widespread attention.
Immediately, there was much discussion:
"What? Did I hear that right? The Great Tang Academy has such a powerful swordsman?"
"The Tang Academy has always kept a low profile, but it has a long history and is an important holy site of Confucianism. It is indeed a place where hidden talents reside."
"Haha, I knew it. There are many talented people in the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty, and there must be many top swordsmen."
"This is terrifying! I know Jun Mo from the Great Tang Academy. He's at most in his thirties, yet he's already cultivated to the half-step Celestial Realm?"
"It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. I only reached the first rank of martial artist when I was over thirty, while others have already reached the half-step celestial realm."
"Heavens! Jun Mo is so strong, yet he can only be ranked seventh. Could it be that the top six have already reached the Land Celestial Realm?"
