Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Originally revered by all in the Immortal Bestowment Dynasty and honored as prodigies, the four individuals finally bowed their heads before the allure of immortality.

Actions they had previously looked down upon just a month ago were now being compromised, even actively sought after.

To this, Li Ji'an offered his sincere blessings!

"May we all have a bright future!"

However, he declined their invitation.

"Brother Li, you're mistaken! The peak of martial arts for someone of our caliber is only a hundred years of lifespan. But once you enter Qi training, you're guaranteed a hundred years, reaching the middle stage grants you one hundred and twenty years, and the late stage even allows you to live for one hundred and fifty years. If you're fortunate enough to establish a foundation... three hundred years! Three hundred years of life—just thinking about it is exciting!" Zhang Tiezhu's emotions were running high.

Zhu Linxian looked at Li Ji'an, hesitant to speak, and ultimately remained silent.

Dong Jiangling sighed softly as his eyes shifted, "Alas, I understand Brother Li's thoughts. We now understand clearly how difficult immortal cultivation is! I don't know if I'll regret my decision today. The future is bleak, and hope is slim."

Zhao Shuyao was incredulous, "Brother Li, we've cultivated for decades in the Immortal Bestowment Dynasty, relying not only on talent. You became a prodigy who overshadowed an entire era, so your temperament, perseverance, effort, and comprehension must all be top-notch.

If martial arts can succeed, immortal cultivation might also!"

Now, you're not even willing to try.

You and I are the oldest; we don't have time to waste!

If we don't start now, it'll truly be too late!"

Li Ji'an nodded.

Yes, if he didn't have "Rejuvenation," how could he be so calm, leisurely, and steady in waiting?

But with "Rejuvenation," he has endless time.

Having arrived in the cultivation world and seen the hope of proving the Dao and ascending to immortality, with a lifespan as long as the heavens, he couldn't afford to take risks.

Over the past month, their understanding of this cultivation world had become increasingly detailed. Besides confirming what Chen Zhaohu had said, they also realized the unpredictable nature of the cultivation world and the capriciousness of fate.

They also learned about the intensity of the competition.

For those like them, who had missed the optimal age and possessed inferior spiritual roots, catching up with others would be nearly impossible without taking risks and going all out.

However, Li Ji'an didn't expect to make a comeback in this life.

He only sought to integrate into this world and do his best to ensure the safety of his next life, accumulating a little bit of resources as success.

After all, he estimated that he only had about thirty years to use in this life.

Without much explanation, Li Ji'an insisted on staying here temporarily, waiting for the opportune moment to make plans.

In the end, the five of them had a farewell dinner at the Hundred Fragrance Restaurant, where they had their initial welcome feast upon entering this world. Li Ji'an also divided the remaining spirit sand equally as travel expenses.

"Brother Li, take care. If I'm fortunate enough to step onto the path of cultivation, I'll definitely come back to find you. The same goes for you all. Once you settle down, send a letter to Brother Li, and I'll share our addresses. In a foreign land, we must help each other." Zhang Tiezhu clasped his fist towards everyone and strode towards the pioneering families in the south.

"Take care! See you in ten years." Zhao Shuyao and the other two were preparing to go to the joint market a hundred miles away to seek opportunities for immortality.

Having said all that needed to be said, they no longer tried to persuade Li Ji'an, only exchanged words of farewell.

They agreed that no matter what, they would reunite in ten years.

"Ten years!" Looking at his departing friends, Li Ji'an smiled freely.

"Let's go; perhaps you'll meet again in less than ten years." Chen Zhaohu patted Li Ji'an's shoulder.

"Brother Chen, what do you think they'll be like in ten years?" Li Ji'an asked with a smile.

Chen Zhaohu laughed heartily, "I'm not a divinely favored one who can foresee the future. How would I know what will happen in ten years? You people must have deep blessings; maybe you'll encounter some great opportunity and soar to the sky."

"Foresee the future? Divinely favored one?" This was the first time Li Ji'an had heard of it.

"Oh, divinely favored ones are, as the name suggests, people favored by the gods. They are born in harmony with the Great Dao and possess some mysterious ability from birth. There was once a divinely favored one who could foresee the future a hundred years from now," Chen Zhaohu said casually.

Li Ji'an instantly stopped in his tracks, and the figure of Ning Sujin involuntarily appeared in his mind.

He felt that Ning Sujin's ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune seemed to align with what Chen Zhaohu said about divinely favored ones.

"Born in harmony with the Great Dao... wouldn't that be... a chosen one?"

Seeing the look of surprise on Li Ji'an's face, Chen Zhaohu shook his head and smiled, "That's not necessarily the case. According to those great figures, divinely favored ones are merely people who have integrated fragments of the Great Dao's laws and possess corresponding abilities. However, some laws are beneficial to cultivation, while others are even harmful. Moreover, it seems that the fragments of the Heavenly Dao's laws, besides the corresponding abilities, don't change anything else. Not only people, but some items can also be possessed by the Heavenly Dao's laws and possess mysterious abilities."

"Fragments of the Great Dao's laws..." Li Ji'an was even more confused.

This kind of thing shouldn't be something that someone of Chen Zhaohu's level should know.

The latest novels are available on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!

"That's right, fragments of the Great Dao's laws. It's said that our current Heavenly Dao is incomplete because many laws have shattered."

"The Heavenly Dao of this world is incomplete?"

"If it weren't incomplete, we might all have the opportunity to prove the Dao and ascend!" Chen Zhaohu suddenly became excited when he said this.

"Brother Li, you don't know. A great cultivator once discovered an ancient relic revealed from the earth's veins, which recorded that cultivation at that time wasn't all about absorbing spiritual energy and refining mana like we do now. The most superior cultivation method was to directly sense the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the laws. Some people sat in meditation for a hundred years and attained enlightenment in one evening, and there were even natural Dao children who entered the Dao at birth.

Moreover, even for those who took the path of refining spiritual energy, establishing a foundation in a hundred days was common.

That era... was truly a golden age of cultivation!"

"Then what exactly happened?" Li Ji'an's expression was solemn.

"Who knows? Perhaps we'll have to wait until those great figures find clues in the ancient relics one day. Forget it, forget it, these things are too far away from us. Just listen to them and be done with it. Let's go; I'll first teach you the body refining technique of this world." Chen Zhaohu sighed, his enthusiasm greatly diminished.

"Okay!" Compared to the general trend of this world and even the history of the cultivation world, Li Ji'an had plenty of time to explore. At this moment, he was more concerned about the body refining technique that Chen Zhaohu was about to impart to him.

Over the past month, he had realized that the so-called martial arts techniques taught in the Immortal Bestowment Dynasty were just the rudimentary body refining techniques of this world, the "Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Technique."

Moreover, it wasn't even complete, only the first half of the first-level body refining technique. It not only lacked offensive techniques but could only be cultivated to the early stage of the first level of body refining.

In addition, the martial arts technique that stimulated Qi and blood, which he was originally most proud of, created with the accumulated comprehension of four lifetimes and the painstaking efforts of countless predecessors in the Immortal Bestowment Dynasty, was actually just an auxiliary body tempering technique that had long been popularized in this world.

That night, Li Ji'an exchanged the body refining technique "Hundred Refinements Golden Body Art" that Chen Zhaohu had accidentally obtained in exchange for joining Chen Zhaohu's team as a mascot for a period of one year.

Chen Zhaohu declared that this technique could at least be cultivated to the second level!

Second-level body cultivators, capable of breaking through the protective magic shields of foundation-establishing cultivators in close combat, were not to be underestimated.

"Brother, although with the conditions here, our chances of becoming second-level body cultivators are very slim, but even I, a mid-stage first-level body cultivator, am enough to live safely here.

Don't be discouraged. Temper your body and hunt well. I'll help you find a Dao partner with slightly better spiritual roots, and maybe you'll give birth to a child with good spiritual roots. At that time, it will be considered fulfilling your dream of immortal cultivation."
