Chapter 10: The Immortal Laws are not the same

Chapter 10 – Immortal Dharma Different Cultivation

“How did the mortals in the Great Migration come to the land of Immortal Extinction?” Perhaps he had never cared about this issue, Kou Hong directly froze after hearing Li Fan ask this.

“Thousands of years have passed since the era of the Great Plague, and we’re not sure exactly what happened at that time. Regarding the various things that happened back then, we are also basically just hearsay.” After thinking for a moment, Kou Hong shook his head.

“What, you’re still not dead in the water?” Kou Hong looked at Li Fan and couldn’t help but mock, “Even if you go out, what can you do? At the age of seventy, you still want to cultivate immortality ……”

He was halfway through his sentence, but when he saw Li Fan’s icy cold eyes sweeping around on him, while the several coolies on the side looked like they were stupid and eyeing each other, he couldn’t help but shiver, and snapped his mouth shut.

Kou Hong had been released from the prison by Li Fan.

After being trapped in the secret room by Li Fan and baptized with the Immortal Mortal Miasma, his cultivation had regressed drastically, falling directly to the early stage of Qi Refining.

All of his dao techniques could not be used, and now he was just a slightly more powerful mortal.

After being captured, he was originally cursing and swearing, but after a few rounds of torture, Kou Hong was finally honest.

“It turns out that the high and mighty Immortal Cultivators, after losing their cultivation, are no different from us mortals. Even, it’s not as good as us having a backbone.” A coolie on the side said in a conspiratorial manner.

“Yeah, this one didn’t even last an hour under us.” Another coolie also chimed in.

Kou Hong was very frank: “Better to die than to live. Besides, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, success or failure in life and death is unusual. Although you are a mortal, but your means and will are not bad, by your assassination, we brothers have nothing to say. It’s just that our skills are not as good as ours!”

“You don’t hate me?” Li Fan was a little curious.

“Hate, of course I do!” Kou Hong viciously drank a mouthful of the fine wine Li Fan had prepared for him, “But what can be done about it? Now that you are the knife and chopper and I am the fish meat, is it hard to put a hard word in for you? Wouldn’t that be the way to take death?”

“You are quite open-minded!” Li Fan kindly smiled.

“It’s just a way to live!” Kou Hong snorted coldly.

“If you can return to the Immortal Cultivation World, can you still continue to cultivate?” After a moment of silence, Li Fan suddenly asked.

“What ……” Kou Hong did not react for a moment.

“If you can help me find a way to travel to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, perhaps I will take you with me then.” Li Fan promised.

“You treacherous villain, you still want to swindle me?” Kou Hong was furious, but he soon calmed down and looked at Li Fan fiercely.

Li Fan’s face was calm: “Truth or falsehood, it’s a hope after all. Are you willing to give up this way of life and just die of old age in this square inch place?”

Hearing Li Fan’s words, Kou Hong fell silent.

His face changed intensely, and it was obvious that his heart was extremely struggling. After a long time, he finally let out a long sigh.

“Good! I promise you!”

“Don’t worry, I, Li Fan, have always been a man of my word and a man of my word.” Li Fan said in a deep voice.

The coolie on the side had a solemn face at this moment and lowered his head.

Full of civil and military personnel, who does not know that the current Imperial Master, says one thing and does not say another: if he says he will kill your whole family, he will kill your whole family!
“No need to draw a big pie for me, I am willing to help you, but it is just a bet on that line of life.” Kou Hong sneered.

Seeing this, Li Fan didn’t explain to him, but directly expounded his guess to him.

“If my guess is correct, back then, what the Immortal Cultivators used to migrate the mortals should have been a magic weapon similar to a flying boat or shuttle or something like that. In the ancient times, the Immortal Cultivation World had a large number of people, many sects, and was very prosperous, so this kind of transportation type of magic weapon was very prevalent. Unfortunately, later on, there was a huge change in heaven and earth, and the Immortal Cultivators were all afraid of themselves, so they basically acted alone, and the flying boats and shuttles were seldom seen.” Kou Hong listened and slowly responded.

“The great change in heaven and earth, does it refer to that weird pandemic?” Li Fan asked.

“Although the Immortal Mortal Miasma is bizarre, it cannot shake the Immortal Cultivator’s fundamentals. In fact, the reason why the Immortal Mortal Miasma was able to run rampant was because the vast majority of the cultivators in heaven and earth had all fallen in a great calamity. The strength of the Immortal Cultivation World plummeted, which is why it was unable to effectively deal with the Immortal Mortal Miasma.” Kou Hong shook his head, his complexion somewhat grave.

“The Heaven and Earth Cataclysm?” Li Fan suddenly recalled the scene of the crumbling mountain gate that he had looked out from the depths of the Market Abyss earlier, and he could not help but feel a stirring in his heart, “Could it be that, Immortal Dharma cannot be practiced in the same way?”

Kou Hong glanced at Li Fan in surprise, not understanding how he came up with the idea.

“Not bad, Immortal Dharma cannot be practiced together!” Kou Hong let out a long sigh.

“In the ancient times, there was no such restriction. Back then, a bewildering number of great Immortal Cultivation sects opened their clans widely and took on disciples to teach them. Immortal cultivators had masters to guide them, and when they encountered difficulties in cultivation, they could ask for advice at any time, as well as sparring with their brothers and sisters who practiced the same techniques. At that time, the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm would be such a vibrant scene!” Kou Hong said, unable to hide his longing.

“Unfortunately! The heavens and earth changed drastically! Immortal cultivators suddenly realized one day that their efficiency in running their gong methods to cultivate was greatly reduced. While cultivating, they would also have a sense in their minds of how many people in the entire Immortal Cultivation World were cultivating the same techniques at the same time. They also discovered to their horror that the more people who cultivate the same technique at the same time, the less efficient the cultivation of all those who cultivate the technique.” Kou Hong spoke slowly in a low voice, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

“In the beginning, everyone maintained restraint, trying to find a solution to the problem. However, in the following decades, countless cultivators were trapped in place, unable to advance in their cultivation. Until the great limit was approaching, they could no longer hide the killing intent within their hearts.”

“A catastrophe that swept through the entire cultivation world began. As long as one is practicing the same method as me, they are blocking my path, and they are immortal! The former masters and disciples, brothers and sisters, all turned into life and death enemies in an instant! Even if someone’s heart is not willing to kill, but under the general situation, how to ensure that the other side also think so? Who dares to guarantee that the other party will not suddenly rise up and stab you? All Immortal cultivators have been plunged into endless suspicion, and the only one people can trust is themselves!”

“At that time, all the sects turned into purgatory in an instant. And those loose cultivators who were hiding in the deep mountains and secret realms trying to take refuge were not spared either. Because, cultivators who practiced the same technique would also sense each other’s location!”

“Killing, endless killing. I don’t know how long it lasted before it gradually subsided. And at this time, the originally flourishing Immortal Cultivation Realm had become incredibly withered, with all the clans ceasing to exist, leaving only the solitary individual Immortal Cultivators.” Kou Hong narrated this ancient great change in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Li Fan’s heart fluttered as he listened to it, but even greater questions came up.

Since Immortal Dharma could not be practiced in the same way, how did Immortal Cultivators today cultivate? What exactly is the Immortal Cultivation World like today?
