chapter 6233: is something chewed and spat out still useful?
âi thought it was four.â li xian said.
âbecause bodhi ancestor found a legacy.â li qiye said.
âwhat is a legacy, does it help someone become an immortal?â monk zhu asked.
âbecoming one doesnât require a legacy, but to go further, yes.â li qiye said.
âis an immortal not the strongest already?â orchidcore was surprised to hear this.
âimmortals are only a stage assigned by regular cultivators. a true immortal is not around but they still flatter themselves by choosing to be called pseudo-immortals or terrors.â
âsupreme terrors.â coldblade had heard of this before.
âpseudo-immortals or just immortals sound better.â princess chen murmured since supreme terrors sounded rather strange and discomforting.
âin the absence of immortals, overlords can reign supreme and devour their world?â coldblade said.
âthey would be the lords in that scenario and can do as they please.â li qiye said.
âthen it would be safer to have several instead of just one.â li xian said.
the birth of a single one could signal the end of the world.
âis there no punishment for doing so? trillions and trillions of living beings.â the princess shuddered.
âdo emperors or anyone above get punished for massacring a kingdom?â li qiye stared at her.
the group exchanged glances and had no response.
the strongest cultivatorsâ hands were stained with blood. however, few were punished specifically for the act of killing.
âitâs different compared to an overlord devouring a world.â coldblade said, having a different perspective from the young ones since she was close to reaching the imperial level.
âwhat if weâre talking about an immortal instead of a supreme overlord?â princess chen asked.
âan immortal? they will no longer deserve that title since they are slaves to their desires. they will not have a good ending.â li qiye said.
the group fell into silence because this topic was heavy and irrelevant.
âthere are levels to the immortal stage.â coldblade said.
âthe purer and more determined the dao heart, the farther they can go.â li qiye said: âboth natural and cultivated beings are on the same path, unable to escape from the dao heart or the self. only when they reach the truth will they make it to the other shore.â
âthe other shore?â monk zhu murmured since buddhism also had this concept. was it the same for daoists as well?
âwe have two immortals right now, who will be the next?â mu hu changed the topic.
âit has to be the lord of life and death.â coldblade said with a serious expression.
ânot xian chengtian? the disciple of three immortals.â orchidcore said.
âif thatâs the case, then weizhen is in the running too, the disciple of zhan sansheng.â princess chen said.
âweizhen canât, perhaps supreme black ancestor.â coldblade said.
âlord of calamities might be able to do it. he wields all tribulations in this world, rumored to be the child of the high heaven. that alone makes him a strong candidate.â li xian said.
âi donât think so since it sounds like external help.â princess chen said.
âlord of life and death is the prime candidate. from life to death and death to life, a cycle of metamorphosis. it will be her, no one else.â coldblade said.
âso we have three, what about the last one, xian chengtian?â princess chen said.
âif i can vote, i would vote for li xingchen, a fellow clan member.â li xian said.
âsince when is li xingchen from your clan?â princess chen glared at him.
âat the very least, he is a li as well. it feels good to have an immortal with the same last name.â li xian turned red before laughing.
