Chapter 21: Parents Listening to Children's Stories?

Witnessing the confusion of these scholars, Li Nianfan continued, “Sunrise and sunset. It is the law of life. If you can't even understand this basic fact, how do you understand your own life?”

“One will experience a four-season cycle in ten years, and in a hundred years, one will experience a life cycle ranging from birth and aging to illness and death. In a thousand years, dynasties and rulers changed. And in ten thousand years, people will see the changing of stars. In short, one cannot imagine experiencing all of this in one day, so, of course, ordinary humans cannot see this world with just a day's lens!”

The scholar shivered with a change in expression on his face, sometimes excited and sometimes confused.

Li Nianfan left him there and walked back to his mountain. That's all he can help. Whether these scholars understood him or not, it was up to him. Although longevity was the dream of many, it was not worth it at all if one went crazy because of this. It's better for a regular guy to be more realistic.

After returning to his residence, Li Nianfan threw two fish at Xiao Bai. He ordered what he wanted to eat for dinner. Then, he enjoyed his own lunch.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, an old man rushed to Wanjian Eternal Sect with a young man. Both were also flying swordsmen.

On the way there, the old man sighed with a look of despair. The young man finally couldn't help but ask, “Master, I'm afraid the Eternal Sect of Wanjian is no more. Why are we still going?”

The old man sighed, “Chong Er, the cultivators have broken the laws of the sky. We are not ordinary people and there are dangers everywhere. When someone dies from danger, there may be no one to take care of our corpse.

“Bai Wuchen and I developed swordsmanship over the years and fought each other for a hundred years. Now, only I can take care of the body.”

"Sir, what if we meet the Demon Sword?" asked the young man worried.

The old man looked unperturbed. “Let's if that's the case because I don't have years left to live. If we do, you have to keep running. I'll give you time."

He said it with a desperate glint in his eyes. Five years ago, his Sect was still in glory, yet the Demon Sword destroyed half of it. Now that he was old, his strength was not as strong as before, so much so that the Demonic Sword did not even want to challenge him or he would die a long time ago.

Knowing Bai Wuchen and her stubborn demeanor, she knew that Bai Wuchen would not try to escape from the Demon Sword. The body must be cold by now.

The two flew up into the sky, creating a long arch in their footsteps. Not long after that they reached the territory of the Wanjian Eternal Sect.

Meanwhile, the old man sensed something and looked in the far opposite direction. Three long arches are beginning to be seen.

The three of them returned home after listening to Li Nianfan's story. Seeing this old man, Bai Wuchen froze, "Zhao Laotou, what brought you here?"

Zhao Laotou paused for a moment and looked at Bai Wuchen in disbelief. “Bai Wuchen! Why are you still alive? I came here to take care of your corpse!”

Bai Wuchen was not offended. He smiled, “Hahahaha! Of course not! I'll die chasing you and taking care of your corpse instead!”

“Hmph!” Zhao Laotou did not refute but she curiously asked, “Didn't the Demon Sword challenge you? Are you hiding?"

“Am I hiding? Zhao Laotou, who do you think I am!" Bai Wuchen glared at him which was then followed by a mischievous grin as she released some of her Qi.

Zhao Laotou trembled. He looked at her with wide eyes. “K-you have entered nature Outside Aperture!?”

Bai Wuchen did not speak. He just closed his eyes arrogantly.

“How did you break through? That doesn't make any sense! I'm better than you!" Zhao Laotou would inevitably judge him from head to toe bitterly.

"Can't help it, but I just did!" Bai Wuchen said arrogantly.

“Zhao Laotou, we've known each other for over a hundred years. Don't call me senior!" Bai Wuchen explained hurriedly.

Zhao Laotou insisted. "According to the rules of status and power in the cultivation world, it's only right for me to call you my senior."

Bai Wuchen looked at Zhao Laotou with a hint of regret. Despite knowing him for so long, Bai Wuchen knew that even if he became an Immortal, this old couple would never honor him. However, he now lowered his ego to welcome him. There's only one explanation.

He doesn't have years left.

He wanted Bai Wuchen to help guard his disciples and followers when he left. Each cultivator was cultivating towards Eternity, but how many of them actually became one?

A Foundation Building Cultivator had a life expectancy of two hundred years. Golden Core had four hundred years, Yuan Ying had eight hundred years, and Out of Aperture had one thousand six hundred years. Each realm had a predetermined life expectancy, and one could live forever if one became an Immortal.

It was very, very rare.

It was likely that Zhao Laotou had less than fifty years to live. As his old friend, Bai Wuchen looked inside him and could not help but sigh to his old partner.

After a while of consideration, he decided that he should help his old friend. “Even if I have reached Out of Aperture, do you think I am a match for the Sword Demon?”

Zhao Laotou frowned slightly. He didn't understand what he was trying to mean.

Bai Wuchen said, "The reason I broke through is because of an expert, who was the one who killed the Demon Sword."

"What!?" Zhao Laotou's voice was sharp and his face was filled with disbelief!

Even the young man behind him was startled, as if he had heard the most impossible thing in the world! The expert was able to break through Yuan Ying into an Out of Aperture? This expert must be very skilled!

Zhao Laotou asked, panting, “You're not kidding, are you? Only an Immortal could do that!”

"Actually, I don't think he's just an Immortal," Bai Wuchen said in a tone of admiration. He then began to recount his entire encounter with Li Nianfan from the very beginning.

Listening to his description, Zhao Laotou's expression turned from shock to respect, and he was finally stunned, staring blankly at Bai Wuchen.

The air purifier that produces Spiritual Qi? Water Filter that drains Spiritual Water? A picture containing Sword Intent? And that's just a draft? A jade pendant with a phoenix engraved on it was able to kill the Demonic Sword and turn it into ashes? Porridge containing the Basics of Wisdom?

This sounds absurd!

After listening to Bai Wuchen's description of Li Nianfan, his face sank. “Bai Wuchen! I know You are of a higher rank than I am now, but this does not mean that you can fool Me! He continued in an unfriendly tone, “You made it up, didn't you? You think I'm stupid!"

Bai Wuchen smiled bitterly. “Zhao Laotou, I'm not kidding! You can see for yourself when you follow Me to hear the stories tomorrow. ”

He did not blame Zhao Laotou for not trusting him. Even he felt that it was unreasonable and unbelievable. Who would believe it without seeing it for themselves?

“Talking to you to listen to the story? Do you think I'm three years old? Zhao Laotou glared furiously, her face flushed red.

He was an old man close to his death, yet Bai Wuchen asked him to listen to someone's story? Who is he kidding?
