Chapter 358: The Eternal Body!
“Your cultivation at the Qi Refining stage can actually pass through the numerous tests I set?” The Wuji Daoist said, puzzled.
“To be honest, the tests you set are a bit simple,” Fang Yu replied with a faint smile.
“Simple?” The Wuji Daoist’s expression changed slightly.
The final test he had set was difficult even for cultivators at the God Transformation stage to pass easily.
Yet this young man, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, actually said the tests were simple?
“Did you use some other means to get in here?” The Wuji Daoist’s face darkened as he asked.
“That’s something you should ask yourself. If your tests had no flaws, how could anyone sneak in here?” Fang Yu countered.
The Wuji Daoist was momentarily speechless, staring at Fang Yu without saying another word.
This kid gave him a very strange feeling.
He was only at the Qi Refining stage, yet his demeanor and tone seemed very mature.
Facing a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he showed no signs of nervousness at all.
Something felt off.
With the Wuji Daoist’s cultivation, no one could conceal their cultivation level in front of him.
He could be certain that Fang Yu was indeed at the Qi Refining stage.
“What’s your name? Which generation of disciples from our Wuji Sect are you?” The Wuji Daoist asked, frowning.
“Uh… My name is Fang Yu. As for the second question…” Hearing the Wuji Daoist’s words, Fang Yu showed a strange expression.
The virtual figure before him clearly still had memories from when the Wuji Daoist left it behind.
In other words, the Wuji Daoist was unaware of what had happened in the thousands of years since.
He probably never imagined that the Wuji Sect had already closed its doors thousands of years ago.
And the inheritance he left behind only emerged four thousand years later…
Fang Yu was contemplating whether to tell the Wuji Daoist about this.
Seeing Fang Yu’s expression, the Wuji Daoist seemed to have guessed something.
It appeared that this kid was not one of his Wuji Sect’s people.
The Wuji Daoist glanced at the Star Fruit.
He was well aware of the growth cycle of the Star Fruit.
Now that the Star Fruit was in a fairly mature state, it meant that at least three thousand years had passed since he left the inheritance.
Three thousand years…
Even for cultivators, this was a long time.
“Kid, tell me what happened in these past few thousand years, especially regarding our Wuji Sect. If you don’t say, don’t even think about getting the inheritance,” the Wuji Daoist said with a hint of mockery at the corners of his mouth, walking over to a mound of soil and sitting down.
“Alright, then I’ll tell you. The Wuji Sect probably disappeared over two thousand years ago,” Fang Yu also sat down and said.
“What caused it?” The Wuji Daoist raised an eyebrow, his emotions showing little fluctuation, as if he had anticipated this.
“It seems it was due to a decline in talent. Fewer and fewer disciples were willing to join and stay in the Wuji Sect, and eventually, they couldn’t keep a single disciple, leading to the closure,” Fang Yu explained.
The Wuji Daoist’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes as he scolded, “I knew it was a mistake to hand over the sect to Liu Qingyun!”
“Well, there’s nothing to be done. Who told you to set the inheritance site to open so many years later? If you had let your sect’s people discover it earlier, it wouldn’t have ended in closure,” Fang Yu replied.
Upon hearing this, the Wuji Daoist looked at Fang Yu and frowned, saying, “It only requires a simple trigger to open the inheritance site. I didn’t set a time at all!”
“Then why is your inheritance site only opening now?” Fang Yu was taken aback and asked.
The Wuji Daoist furrowed his brows tightly, suddenly standing up and pacing back and forth, then turned to Fang Yu and asked, “Before the Wuji Sect closed its doors, did you hear anything?”
“No, I’m not one of your Wuji Sect people. I only heard about the closure,” Fang Yu answered.
The Wuji Daoist’s expression darkened slightly. After thinking for a moment, he sat back down and stared intently at Fang Yu.
“Do you have any other questions?” Fang Yu asked.
“You know about events from thousands of years ago… This means you have lived for thousands of years with a cultivation at the Qi Refining stage?” The Wuji Daoist squinted.
“Yeah, actually I’ve met you once before,” Fang Yu said.
“You’ve met me… Which sect are you from?” The Wuji Daoist asked.
“…Tiandao Sect,” Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied.
“Tiandao Sect? Are you a disciple of Daotian?” The Wuji Daoist’s expression changed.
“Yeah, the last time I saw you was when my master took me to participate in your Wuji Sect’s…” Fang Yu was speaking when the Wuji Daoist stepped forward.
“That guy Daotian should have successfully ascended by now, right?”
“He probably ascended about a hundred years later than you,” Fang Yu said.
“Hahaha… Daotian still lost! I once bet with him that if he could ascend within fifty years after me, I would wait for him in the Immortal Realm to apologize. If he didn’t, then he would have to apologize to me,” the Wuji Daoist laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.
Fang Yu looked at the Wuji Daoist, narrowing his eyes slightly.
He didn’t know that the Wuji Daoist seemed to have a good relationship with his master.
Fang Yu stood up and said, “If you’re willing, you can give me the inheritance now.”
The Wuji Daoist looked at Fang Yu, a smile creeping at the corners of his mouth, and asked, “Why would I be unwilling?”
“After all, your original intention was to leave it for the disciples of the Wuji Sect, and you are a friend of my master, so I can’t force it,” Fang Yu said.
“Force it?” The Wuji Daoist showed a hint of a smile.
Then, he clasped his hands behind his back, looking up at the sun in the sky, his white robes fluttering, and said solemnly, “The disciples of the Wuji Sect don’t even have the ability to discover my inheritance; they are not qualified to receive it.”
“As for you, since you are Daotian’s disciple and have successfully passed my tests, I will naturally give the inheritance to you.”
“Then let’s do it. Don’t waste time,” Fang Yu said.
“Before that, I have one more question,” the Wuji Daoist said.
“Go ahead,” Fang Yu replied.
“Why can you live for thousands of years with a cultivation at the Qi Refining stage?” The Wuji Daoist squinted.
“That’s a good question. I don’t know, and my master doesn’t know either. Probably only heaven knows,” Fang Yu answered.
The Wuji Daoist stared at Fang Yu and said, “I have heard of a legend that in ancient times, there was a type of physique called the Eternal Life Physique. People with this physique do not die or decay, living forever in the world.”
“Could you be of that physique?”
Fang Yu smiled faintly and said, “My master mentioned this physique to me, but there are flaws in this legend.”
“What flaws?” The Wuji Daoist asked.
“If the Eternal Life Physique really exists and they can ascend to immortality, then why have I been cultivating for nearly five thousand years and still remain at the Qi Refining stage? If they cannot ascend to immortality, then where have those people gone?” Fang Yu explained.
“You do have a point, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility that you might have the chance to ascend in the future,” the Wuji Daoist smiled.
“Actually, I just want to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage; I haven’t even thought about ascending,” Fang Yu said with a bitter smile. “Even if I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I still need to cultivate for another ten thousand layers to break through to the Core Formation stage. I can accept that. It’s better than never seeing hope for a breakthrough.”
“Hmm… Not bad.” The Wuji Daoist nodded thoughtfully.
Then he frowned again and said, “Actually, there’s another possibility. Have you ever thought about…”
He only said half of this sentence before the Wuji Daoist closed his mouth again.
He shook his head and said, “Forget it, you will understand in the future. Any speculation now is meaningless.”
“Now, I officially pass on the inheritance I left behind to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light began to emanate from the Wuji Daoist’s body.
“Once I pass on the inheritance to you, this virtual form of mine will disappear. If you have any questions, you can ask me now.”
Fang Yu stood in front of the Wuji Daoist, thought for a moment, and asked, “Can I pick a Star Fruit? After all, once you give me the inheritance, there will be no one left in this small world.”
The Wuji Daoist’s expression stiffened, then he smiled and said, “How could Daotian have a disciple like you?”
“Alright, you can pick one Star Fruit to take, but don’t take anything else.”
“My true self might return here one day.”
After saying this, the Wuji Daoist’s expression became serious, and he closed his eyes.
“Whoosh!”
The entire virtual form of the Wuji Daoist transformed into a beam of light and entered Fang Yu’s body!
