Asking for Immortality in Another World

I've witnessed chaos and the fall of dynasties in the mortal realm. I've seen a wise ruler emerge, reshaping the world's landscapes. In my prime, I stood among the crowd, observing with my hands in my pockets. Later, I learned about immortals, acquired immortal techniques, and embarked on the path of immortality. Along this journey, I faced challenges and stumbled. While geniuses led the era and set trends, I remained a mere bystander in the mortal world, facing its ruthless nature. As years passed and beauty faded,and as time flew by, the world transformed. Eventually, step by step, I achieved immortality on the path of seeking. Some say immortality is but a dream, while others urge cultivators to push forward. Some claim that ten thousand years is too long, advocating for seizing the day. Yes, indeed. ——Excerpt from "Memoirs of the Immortal" by Gu Changsheng, the immortal king of Enlightened Way!

Chapter 19: Don't you know how you died?

  Gu Changsheng ventured out this time to gather information about the outside world. Now that he had learned the situation from the siblings Ye Lan and Ye Nan, he saw no reason to continue his journey. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground and started to roast meat.

I will wait for another ten years before returning!

  Under the sky full of orange-red from the sunset, three people sat opposite each other.

The girl named Ye Nan held her face with both hands, her eyes always looking at the bruised and swollen boy, Ye Lan, with concern.

But from time to time, the smell of barbecue would waft to her nose with the wind, causing her little nose to flutter slightly.

  Gu Changsheng's hands occasionally turned the branches on the fire to prevent the meat from burning.

  He glanced at the brother and sister next to him.

  Although their attire was quite ordinary, their manner of speech and choice of words suggested they were not typical children from ordinary families. It appeared they had received a good education.

However, he had no intention of inquiring further. In such a chaotic world, anything is possible.

Both he and they were individuals stranded in this world, so why should they need to know each other before they meet?

  ...

  "Brother, it smells so good!"

  The girl was eating barbecue in small bites, and she smiled at the boy with her eyes slightly narrowed.

  Gu Changsheng observed this scene, finding it familiar, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

  Once upon a time, he also had a girl like this who only had eyes for him.

  Unfortunately, they are now separated by two worlds, and he fears that returning is impossible!

  Even if he can go back there, what can he do?

  I am afraid that things have changed and people have changed, and everything has passed.

  Once upon a time, the girl beneath the sunset represented his youth.

  Oh, he is still youthful, in his prime, so it's alright.

  As the sunset approached, Gu Changsheng divided the meat of the cheetah between the two of them.

  After they each got their share, he bid them farewell and urged them to return home quickly.

  "I don't know your name, but Ye Lan will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life!"

  "Han Li," Gu Changsheng said, his figure disappearing, as he held a cheetah the size of an adult behind his back with both hands. Only these two words lingered in the wind.

  "Grandpa Han seems so carefree!" Ye Nan said.

  "Well, I must strive to become as strong as him in the future!" Ye Lan's gaze was resolute as he spoke.

Without strength, one can easily be overwhelmed by any adversity.

  ...

  After a while, it was still the same place.

  The figures of Ye Lan and Ye Nan had already left.

  Gu Changsheng, who had originally left in a carefree manner, suddenly turned back at this time.

  It is necessary to be on guard against others, and always keep it in mind.

  He just deliberately went in the wrong direction.

  "It's still a chaotic world outside now. The world is divided, and people are fighting for supremacy. Let's wait another ten years before going home first!" Gu Changsheng said to himself, then briskly walked into the mountains.

  Returning to the deep mountains, he walked for more than ten miles along the rugged, winding path, with dense vegetation all around.

  In the mountains, there are no roads, but it feels like someone has traversed this path before.

  At the end of the road, there is a stream and a mountain.

There is a small opening in the mountain, as if there is a family.

The land is flat and there are a few houses.

There are good fields, good wood, clothes, poultry, pavilions, stone mills, smoked meat...

In this deep mountain and old forest, there is such a breath of human life.

Before Gu Changsheng reached his door, a figure ran towards him like the wind.

"You are finally back."

"Silly," Gu Changsheng smiled and rubbed its head.

The figure that came was the silly roe deer. Gu Changsheng had even given it a name.

It was called Silly White.

In the past few years, he had used Silly White almost like a donkey.

Silly White plowed the land, planted crops, reclaimed wasteland, ground grain, and guarded the house.

This saved him a lot of effort. To have such a thriving homestead now, Silly White deserved much of the credit.

  Time flies.

  Gu Changsheng threw the cheetah's body on the ground.

  He boiled water in a pot and prepared to smoke it for storage.

  He had no experience when he first came to the mountains.

  The life in the first two years was so hard!

  But it has been much better in recent years.

  He had become proficient in various techniques for surviving in the mountains.

  Gu Changsheng has a hunch that he will hide in the mountains many times in the future.

  His current realm of martial arts has also reached the level of great success of the membrane.

  He has caught up with the realm of Senior Brother Lin Jun when he first entered the martial arts hall.

  Inferior warriors practice membranes, which can resist the attacks of ordinary swords and knives. For example, ordinary people may die after being stabbed with a sword.

  But not him, not anymore. At least, he can resist two swords!

  Practicing the Cloud Palm means that the membranes of the whole body will be strengthened, with special emphasis on strengthening the membranes on the palms.

  After perfecting the training of the membranes, one can strengthen their flesh and blood, advancing to become third-rate warriors.

  Entry-level warriors sense qi and blood.

  Inferior warriors practice membranes.

  Third-rate warriors strengthen flesh and blood.

  Second-rate warriors posseses well-developed internal organs.

  First-rate warriors cultivates their bones and meridians.

  The path of advancement for warriors is very obvious and is a complete system.

  Gu Changsheng was not clear about the realm of the innate and the master.

  In the smoked meat, the meat of the big cheetah was cut into pieces and hung on the smoke.

  The red flames were reflected in Gu Changsheng's calm eyes.

  He was very glad that before leaving Yuzhou City, he went to the Cloud Martial Arts Hall to replace the flesh and blood chapter of the Cloud Palm, otherwise he would be miserable now.

  After the chaos settles, when he emerges from the mountains, he may reach the rank of a third-rate warrior! Such a warrior's status would be among the best in the entire Yuzhou City!

  From now on, he is no longer a passerby in the world, and he will have his own name.

  In this chaotic world, the status of warriors is higher than ever before, but with that comes increased danger. Conflict and fighting are constant, with battles erupting everywhere.

  Either you kill me or I kill you!...

  Gu Changsheng rubbed his silly white deer head, sat on a small stool, and drank the wine he brewed from mouth to mouth.

The ten-year-old wheat wine tastes good.

  Under the starry night sky, the boy's handsome face gradually became drunk.

  If he doesn't want to get drunk, he won't. He just needs to stimulate the blood in his body to overcome the drunkenness.

  But he didn't do it.

  Seeing the brother and sister Ye Lan and Ye Nan today may have reminded him of the past.

  Recalling the past years, they were young students, brimming with vigor, vitality, and ambition. They sought to change the world, wrote inspiring words, and dismissed the norms of the past!

  Unconsciously, he has spent a full sixteen years in this world, and everything can't go back.

  That night, Gu Changsheng was drunk and mistook Silly White for a pillow, hugging him all night.

  The next day, he woke up with a splitting headache and regretted it. He secretly cursed himself, vowing that if he got drunk again, he'd be a dog!

  Didn't he know how he got so drunk? !
