Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 816 Chapter 331: Zhao Feng Penetrates the Secrets of Heaven and Earth!

Long ago, a mighty divine ability practitioner severed the connection between the immortal and mortal realms, effectively barring any descent of immortals. This act ensured many years of tranquility for Shenzhou. However, the land is now engulfed in war, with numerous countries locked in perpetual conflict.

Such widespread chaos would be impossible without the intervention of hidden immortals and gods.

With Qin's recent unification of Shenzhou, perhaps the originally ordained celestial destiny has been fulfilled. Yet, as Zhao Feng amasses national fortune and strengthens the human Dao Qi, a profound shift seems imminent.

The immortals and gods had sought the fragmentation of Shenzhou's Qi fortune. Their plans are now thwarted as Shenzhou's Qi has coalesced under Qin's banner, a development entirely contrary to their desires.

"Crown Prince."

"The so-called immortals and gods above have now turned their attention to Shenzhou."

"The celestial descent of meteors may have been merely the prelude; they will soon make their move against Shenzhou," Guiguzi declared with a grave expression.

"State Preceptor."

"You once spoke of being pursued by demon immortals. I never inquired about the forces within the immortal realm nor which particular faction was after you."

"What is the state of the immortal realm's forces?" Zhao Feng asked solemnly.

"Crown Prince."

"The immortal realm is immeasurably vast, dwarfing Shenzhou and the mortal world. The mortal lands likely constitute less than one ten-thousandth of the immortal realm's entirety."

"The immortal realm is divided into four great continents. The Eastern Continent, governed by the Heavenly Court, was formerly the domain of Xuanmen. The Western Continent is known as the Western Buddha Land, ruled by the Buddhist Sect. The Southern Continent is the most tumultuous, a battleground for various factions including Taoist, Buddhist, Heavenly Court, Demon Clan, and Human Race. Lastly, the Northern Continent, shrouded in malevolent Qi, is the most perilous, inhabited by fearsome great demons, powerful divine ability practitioners, and the ancient Witch Clan."

"I resided in the Southern Continent. As for the immortals and gods who pursued me, they could have been from the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist Sect. I am not entirely certain."

"After all."

"To a cultivator who has not ingested the Spiritual Root Pill, it appears as merely a spirit pill."

"Pure and untainted."

Guiguzi recounted his past circumstances with a somber countenance.

"So, you mean to say..."

"Within the entire immortal realm, be it the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods or the Buddhist Sect's Buddhas, have they all consumed this Spiritual Root Pill?"

"If one cultivates without it, do they become fodder for demons? Become sustenance?" Zhao Feng furrowed his brow.

"Correct."

Guiguzi affirmed with a nod. "Throughout the immortal realm, unless adept at concealment, any immortal lacking the Spiritual Root Pill is viewed as a spiritual pill by demon immortals. Consuming such an immortal grants spiritual essence, extends lifespan, and wards off the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations."

"Do the immortals and gods of the immortal realm truly fail to achieve eternal longevity?" Zhao Feng inquired, astonished.

He was currently surrounded by the auspicious human Dao Qi, the unfathomable rule limiting his lifespan had been lifted, and his current realm granted him a lifespan of ten thousand years.

Surely, the lifespan of true immortals and gods should far exceed this.

"Mortals live no more than a hundred years."

"While immortals possess exceptionally long lifespans, even theirs eventually concludes."

"Even the mythical Daluo Golden Immortal has a finite existence. Moreover, beyond lifespan, after immortals live for a certain duration, the Heavenly Dao unleashes the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. Failure to overcome these tribulations results in demise."

"What immortals and gods truly seek is spiritual essence to evade the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. They also require elixirs to extend their mortal coil; by infusing spiritual essence into these pills, they prolong their lives. This is the path to longevity for immortals," Guiguzi explained in a deep voice.

"Even Daluo Golden Immortals face a finite lifespan?"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng was utterly taken aback.

This reality starkly contrasted with the mythical accounts he had understood in his previous life!

A Daluo Golden Immortal.

In any world, this title represented the pinnacle of immortal existence, beings who had not only solidified their Dao Fruit but also wielded immense divine skills.

In the ancient myths Zhao Feng recalled from his previous existence, the Daluo Golden Immortal possessed an infinite lifespan, commanding the very essence of laws, truly celestial beings. As long as they avoided perishing, their existence was meant to be eternal, coexisting with the heavens and earth.

But now.

This current reality shockingly imposed an end to the Daluo Golden Immortal's lifespan. What was once an endless existence now seemed a mere illusion.

"Why does this world feel increasingly peculiar?"

"Daluo Golden Immortals have finite lifespans?"

"And they still need life spiritual charms to concoct pills for longevity?"

"What could possibly be the reason behind this?"

"This is so fundamentally different from the Primordial World I knew. Is this truly the Primordial era?"

"Or has something transpired within this world?"

"Spiritual Root Pill, bloodthirst imbibing."

"Immortal lifespans meet their conclusion."

"Spiritual charms."

"The power of rules dictates the end of one's lifespan."

"It perpetually feels as though an unseen hand is orchestrating events from the shadows."

"Too uncanny, too incomprehensible."

Zhao Feng's heart grew heavy. A profound chill emanated from the core of his being, a cold dread born from the complete loss of understanding regarding this world.

"State Preceptor."

"If the immortals and gods eventually descend upon Shenzhou, leading to Shenzhou's reintegration into the immortal realm, what grim fate awaits Shenzhou?" Zhao Feng regained his composure and posed the question to Guiguzi.

"An annihilation of life, an inferno upon the mortal lands," Guiguzi replied, sighing deeply as he uttered these eight words.

Having originated from the immortal realm, Guiguzi possessed intimate knowledge of this world. Shenzhou, in his understanding, had become the last sanctuary, the sole pure land left in existence, free from the clutches of demon immortals.

Above Shenzhou, there was no desperate scramble for spiritual charms, no cultivation that consumed life as sustenance, and no alchemical arts that exploited life's spiritual essences.

However, should Shenzhou be drawn back into the immortal realm…

Shenzhou's vital qi fortune would shatter.

This final bastion of purity would then vanish into myth.

The countless lives dwelling in Shenzhou would cease to exist.

"Based on the current trajectory of events,"

"It appears the immortals and gods intend to obliterate Qin because Qin has consolidated the vital qi fortune of Shenzhou."

"As long as Shenzhou's vital qi fortune remains undivided, they are powerless to forcibly drag Shenzhou back into the Immortal Realm."

"Therefore, as long as Qin stands undefeated, Shenzhou shall persist as a realm of purity," Zhao Feng articulated slowly.

"Precisely so."

Guiguzi nodded in agreement, yet his expression remained fraught with tension. "Now that the immortals and gods have overtly intervened, this celestial meteor shower is merely the inaugural maneuver. It is conceivable that their subsequent action will involve dispatching immortal cultivators directly into Shenzhou."
