Chapter 931 -s 880-881: The Simulation of Life – The Ebbing Vitality, The Challenger Two-in-One Part 2

Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile, “Normally, a Martial Artist in control of his own body can even enter a turtle’s inhalation state. How could it be that the stronger the Power, the faster the life force depletes? That defies reason.”

Upon hearing this, many Martial Artists couldn’t help but grimace. It was as if a light went on, and they began to take seriously an issue they had previously overlooked.

This was because the lifespans of Martial Artists in this world had been too short, so they had overlooked this. If the Powerhouses of the Great Ming World were here, they would have paid close attention to this. It is a matter of foundation and perspective.

Without waiting for anyone to question him, Pei Xuanjing surveyed the crowd, then idly toyed with the wine cup in his hand and said to himself, “In addition to Cultivation in recent years, this king has also been extremely interested in the Ancient matters, especially why the prosperous Immortal Path declined and the reasons for the rise of the Martial Arts. After many years of exploration, this king has indeed found the answer.”

“The decline of the Immortal Path?”

“The prosperity of Martial Arts?”

“It is said that in the Ancient Immortal Path era, although Qi cultivators didn’t achieve Immortality, they still possessed long lifespans, easily living thousands or even tens of thousands of years. However, after the rise of Martial Arts, although Martial Artists’ Power was not inferior to the top Qi cultivators, let alone Immortality, their lifespans were merely five hundred years, not even one-tenth that of Qi cultivators.”

“Could it be that the short lifespans of us Martial Artists are related to this?”

Those who stood at the apex among Martial Artists were somewhat familiar with the secret stories of Ancient Immortal Path disciples. Many had sought clues for a longer lifespan from these stories. So when Pei Xuanjing mentioned the Ancient Immortal Path era, it was not unfamiliar to them.

The Star Moon Temple has inherited part of the legacy of the Sanbao Divine Sect from the Immortal Path era. So, might other major Forces or Powerhouses have had similar experiences and also received inheritances from the Ancient Immortal Path era?

Regarding this, Pei Xuanjing believed that the Star Moon Temple was definitely not an isolated case. There must be other Forces and Martial Artists who had received such a legacy.

“Indeed, what this king is talking about relates to why the lifespans of Martial Arts Powerhouses are only five hundred years,” Pei Xuanjing confirmed without denial.

“Is this really the case!”

“Please enlighten us, Your Highness!”

“Does Martial Arts have a flaw?”

“Or is there a problem with the Martial Arts Techniques we practice? Otherwise, after changing the foundation of Martial Arts, the lifespan would be extended. How would one explain that?”

The expressions of these Martial Artists changed dramatically. Normally, those who had reached this Realm were strong-willed and resolute in their Martial Arts, and there were few things in this world that could shake them.

But at this moment, perhaps because it concerned their own lives or because everyone present was a Powerhouse of the same Realm, they dropped their usual airs, and their faces showed more varied expressions than ever before.

“Exactly!” Pei Xuanjing nodded and then delivered a message that made all the Powerhouses even more shocked, struggling to compose their faces: “The reason for the flourishing Immortal Path’s decline is the rise of the creator of Martial Arts. He overthrew the rule of the Immortal Path, buried the Immortal era and laid the foundation for Martial Arts, unveiling the era of Martial Arts.”

“Between Heaven and Earth, contrary to the rumors, there was a True Immortal existence. This True Immortal was one who ascended to the True Immortal Realm through Martial Arts,” Pei Xuanjing said calmly.

Yet, his words stirred up a storm, causing an uproar among the multitude of Powerhouses.

In the past few days, this Highness had revealed one shocking information after another, but even now, this news left them too astonished for words.

For a moment, these Powerhouses, who stood at the pinnacle of this world, fell into a brief silence, and the entire high platform was eerily quiet.

The next moment, the silence and stillness were shattered as many Martial Artists began to speak out.

“A True Immortal, there really is an Immortal who has achieved Immortality, and one that ascended through Martial Arts no less!”

“An Immortal of Martial Arts means that Martial Arts can attain immortality. Then why do we, let alone Immortality, only possess such brief lifespans? It’s so unfair.”

“Indeed, if there exists an Immortal of Martial Arts, then why is there no message or record of it in this world?”

“Where is the Immortal?”

…

Martial Artists raised these questions aloud, but like the temple master and others, they remained silent, their eyes flickering, exchanging glances, as if they were thinking of something.

If initially Pei Xuanjing had directly spoken of the existence of a Martial Arts Immortal, they might not have pondered much. But coupled with the cap on their own lifespans and the abnormal depletion of life force, these intelligent individuals vaguely grasped that there might be some connection between the two.

And the nature of this connection between them was surely not as blissful as one might imagine; otherwise, they would not be reacting like this.

Indeed, what Pei Xuanjing said next undoubtedly confirmed their thoughts.

“That Martial Arts True Immortal is indeed the one who buried the Immortal Path. Although he obliterated the Immortal era, the final onslaught of many Immortal Powerhouses forced that Martial Arts True Immortal into a slumber. For all these years, he has never awakened and continues to heal his wounds,” Pei Xuanjing’s words reached the ears of every Powerhouse present.

Upon hearing this, the countenances of these Powerhouses began to change; the smiles on many faces disappeared, turning grim, and even flashes of anger and resentment sparked deep within their eyes.
