Life Is Hard, One Hundred Years Is A Short Time
***
Cui Heng was slightly stunned when he saw the young lady. Then, he smiled and said, "Why is Pavilion Master Jiang here?"
This woman was none other than the current head of the Widespread Water Sword Pavilion, Jiang Caiyun, who was famous in the southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was just over a hundred years old and had reached the Heaven King Realm.
Under the long and stable rule of order, Zhou the Great had completed the overall rule of their Purple Sun Star.
To be more manageable, the entire planet is divided into four regions. Each state is divided into more than one hundred states. Moreover, from the Fourth Realm of the Eternal World onwards, the Imperial Court would set up a special cultivation venue and would not easily step into the mortal world.
This formed a situation where the King of Heaven was the peak of a country.
Jiang Caiyun was one of the top experts in the Qingzhou martial world. There were also rumors that he would break through to the Mystical God realm and would be taken to a place more suited for cultivation by the Imperial Court. Soon, he would surpass the mortal world.
However, very few people knew that Pavilion Master Jiang, who was famous in Qingzhou, was also looking for someone with great difficulty.
Someone who has long disappeared from the eyes of the world.
"I came to see you." Jiang Caiyun's expression was very complicated. He looked at Cui Heng gently and his eyes swept across his white hair. He sighed softly and said, "How have you been all this time?"
"Not bad." Cui Heng was very carefree. He walked over and opened the door of the residence. He smiled and said, "Come in and talk."
With that, he walked into the courtyard as usual and arrived at a pavilion. He casually patted the stone bench inside and blew the dust off of it. "come."
Jiang Caiyun looked at this old figure and was a little confused. In a daze, he felt as if he was looking at the excited young man from a hundred years ago. He nodded and smiled. "Good."
….
Under the pavilion.
Jiang Caiyun moved gently and sat across from Cui Heng, looking at him gently.
“Why did Pavilion Master Jiang come looking for me this time?” Cui Heng said with a normal expression. “This Western Region. Not easy coming from South Region.” "Nothing is important ..." Jiang Caiyun shook his head gently. After a moment of silence, he said to Cui Heng, “I will break through to the Mystical God realm. “
"Congratulations." Cui Heng praised sincerely, “You became an Immortal Human in your early 100s. You could be said to be very talented. It is not difficult to become a Gold God before the age of 500 years.”
“I can help you live your rebirth now.” Jiang Caiyun looked at Cui Heng and said solemnly, “I can use my Dharma Idol origin to help you rebuild your foundation. There will definitely be no hidden dangers and it will also greatly enhance your talent.”
"I said that there's no need to be like this." Cui Heng shook his head gently. “I am very satisfied with my current life.”
These are sincere words.
In the past hundred or so years, this could be said to be the most stable and peaceful life he had since he came out of the Starter Room.
Sometimes, he even subconsciously felt that it was not bad to continue living like this, but this thought would be extinguished by him once it appeared.
In this high-level Xianxia space-time world where Immortal Kings roam freely and ferocious beasts were everywhere, it was fine to occasionally relax. However, if he forgot himself and instantly lay down, he would be nearing death.
Now that he was about to break through to the Soul Formation realm, this peaceful life would come to an end.
He was still a little reluctant to leave. It was like lounging in bed.
"You're still like this." Jiang Caiyun was a little sad. Then, he leaned closer to Cui Heng and looked into his eyes with his bright eyes. He said with concern, “But you will die. The lifespan of a Xiantian cultivator was only 120 years. You don't have much time left.”
"It's not bad for my life to end here." Cui Heng smiled.
He was referring to his life in the past 300 years, ever since he destroyed the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect and defeated the White Lotus Holy Mother.
"..." - ".Jiang Caiyun was silent. He just looked at Cui Heng in a daze and did not say anything for a long time. After quite some time, he seemed to have thought of many things before he slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "I appreciate your choice."
With that, he turned around to leave.
But before he could reach the door, he heard footsteps outside and saw two people walking in.
The door is not closed.
“Older Cui, I have brought someone here. A young man is here to visit you.” Lu Huo entered arrogantly as if this was his own home.
“Chairman Cui, I came to.” Ren Feng followed behind Lu Huo and was about to bow to Cui Heng when he suddenly saw Jiang Caiyun standing at the side. He immediately exclaimed, "Pavilion Master Jiang ?!"
Jiang Caiyun also looked at Ren Feng in surprise and asked curiously, "Why are you here too?"
"You know each other?" Cui Heng asked with interest.
“He's my third student's husband,” Jiang Caiyun explained to Cui Heng.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master Jiang." Ren Feng hurriedly bowed to Jiang Caiyun in a very respectful manner. “I'm here to pray for Yu'er and the child inside her stomach.
“When I entered the Temple of God Cui, this old man gave incense to me. I came here to thank this old man. I didn't expect to see you here.”
The Yu'er he was talking about was Jiang Caiyun's third disciple.
"No need to thank me." Cui Heng waved his hand and smiled. “It's good enough you came. You, your wife, and your child will be blessed with great fortune in the future.”
"How long until Yu'er gives birth?" Jiang Caiyun asked.
"There's still two months." Ren Feng smiled and said, “Before, Yu'er even said that he wanted to invite you. I'll let you see it when the child is born.
"I'll be there." Jiang Caiyun nodded and smiled.
The birth of a new life always brings joy. He was happy to be tinged with joy.
However, she quickly thought of a certain life that she cared about so much and felt her heart sink.
Therefore, Jiang Caiyun looked at Cui Heng and wanted to invite him over, but he opened his mouth and in the end said nothing.
“Older Cui, what are you talking about? You will live for hundreds of years. Lu Huo came and said with a smile, “I see your body is very strong. You are much stronger than many young people who like to stay up.”
“The will of heaven is coming. No matter how strong my body is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.” Cui Heng shook his head and waved his hand. “You can go. I'll sit alone for a while.”
Ren Feng wanted to persuade him, but Lu Huo stopped him.
“Do not worry, Elder Cui is open-minded.” Lu Huo patted Ren Feng on the shoulder gently and pulled him out. He smiled and said, “In addition, you received Elder Cui's blessing today.
"That's not good. You must treat me wine and meat, haha!
Amidst the laughter, their figures gradually disappeared.
Only Cui Heng and Jiang Caiyun were left in the courtyard.
Cui Heng looked at Jiang Caiyun and smiled. "Are you not going?"
"If I go, will I never see you again?" Jiang Caiyun looked at Cui Heng, his eyes flashing with sadness. “Your vitality is drained quickly. In less than three days, your lifespan will be up.”
In his perception, Cui Heng's body was like a large funnel, and it was dilapidated. The life force in his body was flowing at an extremely fast speed like a river flowing into the sea.
"Life is hard. One hundred years is a short time. This is a life that satisfies me.” Cui Heng had a faint smile on his face. He stood up and looked at Jiang Caiyun with a smile. "Don't look at me like I'm a man with no heart."
“You are already someone who is going to die, yet you are still joking.” A smile bloomed on Jiang Caiyun's face, as if he had just thought of something. He smiled and said, “All of a sudden I thought that after you die, I can protect your soul and let you reincarnate before accepting you as my disciple. Isn't that nice?"
"Go away." Cui Heng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Do you really want to see me die?"
"..." - ".Jiang Caiyun was silent for a moment before sighing. "Someone has to arrange trouble after your death for you, right?"
Cui Heng was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, remember to carve the tombstone better."
….
Cui Heng's current identity was quite close to Jiang Caiyun. They had known each other for a long time and had experienced many tribulations together. They can be said to be life and death friends.
But they're not a couple.
Jiang Caiyun was a person who wholeheartedly pursued Dao and had no romantic feelings.
Cui Heng's identity was only focused on living a carefree life. At the same time, he carefully understood what the difference between different identities was under the rules of order.
This way, even though their relationship was close, there would be no sparks.
If there was a word to describe it, it was Dao's companion.
Although they could only be considered as Dao companions for Cui Heng's identity, it allowed them to understand each other's personalities and pursuits.
Therefore, Jiang Caiyun would not forcibly disturb Cui Heng's thoughts for the sake of his own feelings, and Cui Heng's identity would not change due to Jiang Caiyun's thoughts.
….
Three days later.
Cui Heng's identity was severed in accordance with the stipulated arrangements. His breathing and heart stopped.
After the last night of his life.
When the sun rose in the morning, he died of old age.
Jiang Caiyun personally arranged the funeral and buried it well. He also personally carved the tombstone.
“My friend's grave is Cui Changsheng.” He stood in front of Cui Changsheng's grave for a whole month, day and night, wind and rain. Finally, he went with ******* length.
From then on, Jiang Caiyun was no longer worried.
There was only the boundless Great Dao in his heart.
….
After Jiang Caiyun left, Cui Heng's last identity was dead.
Then, he returned to his original appearance and appeared in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
After 300 years, he finally returned.
Li Mingqiong immediately sensed Cui Heng's aura and immediately rushed over. He bowed respectfully. “Murid greet Master. Congratulations on cultivating to perfection.”
"You've done really well in the last 300 years." Cui Heng nodded in praise. Then, he said, “Next, I will enter seclusion. There might be some movement outside after a while. You have to keep order.”
"Master, don't worry," Li Mingqiong said solemnly.
"That's great." Cui Heng smiled and disappeared.
He's gonna start breaking through.
...
In the forbidden area of the Purple Sun Heaven Divine Palace.
Zhuo Fan knelt on the ground with a pale face. A ball of light flickered in front of him. This light distorted and overlapped, as if intertwined with the endless Great Dao.
A layer of sound was heard around him.
"The time has come. My reincarnation will soon be born in Purple Sun Star. Go and greet him quickly!
