Seeking Immortality

In a person's life, when you look around at a loss, finding a road and an exit is not a problem. The real problem is that there are roads and exits in front of you, and more than one, but you don't know how to choose. (The latest chapter is provided for reading\u003e

Choice, two simple words, from eating or sleeping to life or death, encompasses the life of everyone in the world.

And Xu Qingfan is facing the most severe and cruel choice in life at this moment.

Xu Qingfan is not a hero who has the ambition to sacrifice the self for the greater self. Such people often only appear in legends. There may be some noble sentiments to benefit the world, but that was when Xu Qingfan had no worries and spared his strength. Although he has become a hero several times by accident over the years, looking back on Xu Qingfan's experiences of becoming a hero, they were all forced by the situation. Since Xu Qingfan entered the world of immortal cultivation, most of the things he has done are just for self-protection.

Xu Qingfan didn't know that Ting'er and Zhang Ning Mei, Bai Yu and the other three were following the large army of the Righteous Alliance at this time. If Xu Qingfan knew that these three disciples were not in "Ronghua Mountain", he would definitely not be so conflicted at this moment. No matter how many strangers died, they were just strangers after all. Xu Qingfan might feel guilty or sad, but it would never affect his life. In the final analysis, Xu Qingfan is just an ordinary person.

In Xu Qingfan's opinion, Ting'er, Zhang Ningmei, Bai Yu and the other three should still be in "Ronghua Mountain" at this moment. After the large army of the Righteous Alliance left, there would be no more masters above the Jindan stage in "Ronghua Mountain". Zhang Hualing was about to completely enter the evil way in "Ronghua Mountain". At that time, no one in "Ronghua Mountain" would be his opponent. All the cultivators who stayed in "Ronghua Mountain", including the mortals around "Ronghua Mountain". What he faced , it will be a catastrophe.

If so, then Ting'er and the other three disciples will be in danger.

Should we save them?

Zhang Xusheng said. Zhang Hualing can resist the invasion of evil spirits for a month at most. Xu Qingfan knew this a long time ago, and he had understood it when he observed Zhang Hualing's soul bead before. But at that time, Xu Qingfan didn't know that all the masters in "Ronghua Mountain" were gone.

But at the same time, Xu Qingfan knew even more that a short month was not enough for him to completely refine the "Holy Spirit Relics". And this is the critical moment for Xu Qingfan to refine the "Holy Spirit Relics" and fight against the "Demon Bead". Once he gives up the fusion with the "Holy Spirit Relics" and rushes back to "Ronghua Mountain" to save people, then the "Demon Bead" will definitely occupy Xu Qingfan's body and mind. At that time, it is almost inevitable to be possessed by the devil, and the consequences will be even more Serious, after all, the fusion of the "magic bead" and Xu Qingfan was active. The fusion of the "holy spirit relic" and Xu Qingfan was passive.

Don't save him?

Xu Qingfan is introverted. Although he is the next generation of Jiuhua, he always forces himself to communicate with the world's cultivators and act with ease. However, for hundreds of years, there are only five people who can be called true confidants-Jin Qinghan, Dongfang Qingling and Ting'er and other three disciples.

Putting aside Jin Qinghan and Dongfang Qingling, Ting'er's perseverance and Zhang Ningmei's careful care over the years are like gentle breeze and drizzle. Although you may not realize it at ordinary times, once you leave. Only then will you find that it is so uncomfortable. Although Bai Yu has made Xu Qingfan worry countless times over the years, he is just young and ignorant. In fact, he is a person of true temperament, and his respect and love for Xu Qingfan is no less than anyone else.

What's more, these three disciples are Xu Qingfan's hard work over the years. Is he really giving up like this?

Should he rescue them immediately and give up the fusion with the "Holy Spirit Relics" at this time and let the "magic bead" demonize him? Or should he remain indifferent to the death of the three people and concentrate on improving his strength so as not to be controlled by the "magic bead"?

Two choices, a question of choosing one from two, is so difficult at this moment. There are countless reasons for each choice, but each choice has disadvantages that will affect Xu Qingfan's life.

Choosing the first one, Xu Qingfan is likely to be completely possessed by the devil from now on. Even if he saves Ting'er and others, he will still commit countless evil deeds in the world of immortal cultivation under the control of the devil's thoughts in the future, and will be hated and besieged by the righteous cultivators, just like the picture obtained during divination.

Choosing the second one, Xu Qingfan will spend his whole life in guilt for this decision, or he may become possessed by the devil because of this unstable state of mind.

To save or not to save?

The pressure of a million pounds hits his heart heavily. Xu Qingfan never thought that there would be a choice that would be so difficult.

Or maybe it was integrating the relationship between the "Holy Spirit Relics" and the "Magic Pearl". When others attained the Tao, their momentum was earth-shaking, their minds were integrated with the Way of Heaven and they did not think of anything else, but when Xu Qingfan attained the Tao, he was not only silent, but also surprisingly clear-minded.

While Xu Qingfan was hesitating and struggling, the "Magic Pearl" and the "Holy Spirit Relics" were still constantly integrating with Xu Qingfan's body. Under the continuous transformation of these holy objects of the righteous and evil ways, the meridians and Dantian became wider and more stable. Unknowingly, it was several times larger than before, and the "Life and Death Sutra" continued to refine the two majestic powers, and the power controlled by Xu Qingfan was getting stronger and stronger.

In the Dantian of the body, the spiritual energy of the whole body was constantly concentrating here. As the spiritual energy became more and more overflowing, the Nascent Soul formed in the Dantian gradually grew larger, and the hands, feet and facial features became clear from the original blur. Although it was silent, Xu Qingfan was about to break through to the Mahayana period.

Because the "Magic Pearl" and the "Holy Spirit Relic" have not yet been completely integrated with Xu Qingfan, although these two forces are fighting endlessly in Xu Qingfan's body and are several times more powerful than the power Xu Qingfan himself controls, Xu Qingfan is unable to control them at all.

As the Nascent Soul gradually took shape, the power in the "Magic Pearl" and "Holy Spirit Relic" also surged towards Xu Qingfan's Dantian, seeming to want to compete for the control of Xu Qingfan's Nascent Soul. Xu Qingfan subconsciously realized that something was wrong, but it was Concentrate all the energy of life and death at the entrance of the Dantian to block the two forces outside. The power absorbed by the Nascent Soul when it grows stronger is the "air of death" and "the energy of life" that Xu Qingfan refined with the "Jue of Life and Death" ".

As the Nascent Soul gradually took shape, a little person who looked like Xu Qingfan, who had shrunk dozens of times, appeared in Xu Qingfan's Dantian. The color is as soft and white as warm jade, but there are black and gray patterns all over the Nascent Soul, which are the result of the blending of life and death.

A Nascent Soul that looks like this. I'm afraid it has been rare in the world of immortality for thousands of years.

The formation of the Nascent Soul is certainly a gratifying event, but now Xu Qingfan has no joy at all in his heart. Still struggling between saving and not saving.

Silently observing the scene of the Nascent Soul gradually forming in the body, Xu Qingfan thought secretly: "Yes, once we go to rescue, I am afraid that there will be accidents when the Nascent Soul is formed in the body. The demonic energy will take the opportunity to invade, then the Nascent Soul will be possessed by the demonic energy." Control, but it’s not far from being completely possessed.”

"In this way, even if we rescue Ting'er and the others, we may be able to rescue more people from the master's uncle's hands, but after I am completely controlled by the magic bead, I will do more evil. It will be a small loss."

Thinking silently in his heart, a look of pain flashed across Xu Qingfan's face, but he had already made a decision.

"Ting'er, Ningmei, Bai Yu, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to let you go, it's because the situation forces me that I feel sorry for you."

In pain, Xu Qingfan forced himself not to think about this anymore. Concentrate on refining the "Holy Spirit Relic" in your body. Resist the invasion of "magic beads".

However, the more I force myself not to think about it. But more and more pictures appeared in his mind.

"Uncle, I will go with you."

This was when Ting'er had just broken through the Dan Formation stage and left seclusion. Standing quietly in front of yourself, what you said to yourself. That was the first time she opened up to Xu Qingfan and let go of her hatred for Xu Qingfan. Thinking about it now, Xu Qingfan can still clearly remember the uncontrollable joy in her heart.

"Master, you are too tired. It would be nice to let go of everything once in a while and relax. This is your favorite tea."

Whenever Xu Qingfan feels exhausted, Zhang Ningmei will always bring a cup of tea to Xu Qingfan and say with concern. This disciple doesn't speak much. He always observes everything around him silently, keeping Xu Qingfan's habits, sorrows and joys in his heart. , always appeared at the right time, using some seemingly insignificant things and words to relax Xu Qingfan's mood. Since she accepted her as a disciple, she has taken care of Xu Qingfan far more than Xu Qingfan, the master, has taken care of her.

"Master, don't be angry. I will stop messing around in the future, practice with peace of mind, and strive for your glory."

This is Bai Yu's guarantee, and this guarantee has been made to Xu Qingfan countless times, but has basically not been fulfilled. Every time he thinks about it, Xu Qingfan always feels distressed and helpless in his heart, but at this moment, what emerges in his heart is It's a hint of warmth and a deep sense of guilt.

Do we really want to let them be killed by Zhang Hualing?

The decision I had already made, my heart that I thought was firm, was shaken again as pictures emerged in my mind.

"Or, there are other ways."

Xu Qingfan thought anxiously.

"Or, seize the time to refine the Holy Spirit Relic as much as possible, so that the power of the Holy Spirit Relic can delay the power in the magic bead for a period of time, and I can take advantage of this time to save Ting'er and the others..."

Thinking like this, Xu Qingfan seemed to have seen the method and direction of solving the problem, but he subconsciously ignored the risks and endless possibilities contained in it, and quickly closed his eyes and began to refine the "Holy Spirit Relic".

As time continued, unknowingly, the sun and moon rotated around the Xisha Land more than ten times, but it passed in more than ten days.

In Xu Qingfan's body, the spiritual light and mist outside of the Nascent Soul gradually dissipated. Xu Qingfan only felt that his spiritual consciousness became stronger and more solidified. The spiritual energy in his body was actually several times greater than before, although it was still not as good as the "Magic Pearl". " and the power contained in the "Holy Spirit Relic" can already slightly affect the balance between the two.

In this way, Xu Qingfan unexpectedly broke through to the Nascent Soul stage silently and naturally.

This can be regarded as the first time since the emergence of the world of immortality.

The moment the Nascent Soul was officially formed, Xu Qingfan suddenly opened his eyes, temporarily stopped merging with the "Holy Spirit Relic", and withdrew his mind from nothingness. Subconsciously, I began to observe the condition of my body.

Under the successive transformations of the body by the "Magic Pearl" and the "Holy Spirit Relic", Xu Qingfan's body not only stopped collapsing, but also had to balance it more than ever before. The good and the evil inside were entangled, making the situation complicated.

The "magic beads" are still assimilating Xu Qingfan's body. From the appearance, Xu Qingfan is surrounded by demonic energy and thick black mist, which is extremely strange.

Although the refining of the "Holy Spirit Relics" has stopped, the "Holy Spirit Relics" has still entered Xu Qingfan's body, but about three-quarters have not been refined, stagnating between Xu Qingfan's forehead, protecting Xu Qingfan's mind, but the power in the magic bead constantly attacks the protection of the "Holy Spirit Relics", one wave higher than the other, but it is unknown how long it can last.

In the Dantian, most of Xu Qingfan's spiritual energy is gathered, protecting the Yuanying from being controlled by external forces, and at the same time constantly refining the power of both the righteous and the evil to strengthen the Yuanying.

The situation is still stable for the time being, but as the "Magic Bead" and Xu Qingfan merge deeper and deeper, and as the demonic energy grows in the body, it is uncertain what will happen in the future.

Xu Qingfan must solve the problem of Zhang Hualing before the demonic energy grows strong enough to break the balance between it and the power of the "Holy Spirit Relics" left in Xu Qingfan's body.

After coming back to his senses, he found that everything was dark in front of him, and there was yellow sand all around him. He seemed to be deep underground in Xisha. There were countless dark crows standing around him, and the "Against the Sky Sword", "Purgatory Staff" and the eyeball-like bead left after the demon died were all quietly placed beside Xu Qingfan. As for Zhang Xusheng, no one knew where he was.

At this moment, he sank into the ground unconsciously. It must be the means used by Zhang Xusheng before he left.

Seeing Xu Qingfan wake up, Xiao Hei, who had been quietly staying beside Xu Qingfan, let out an excited cry and was about to fly towards Xu Qingfan. However, just when he flew a few inches away from Xu Qingfan, he suddenly screamed and then avoided him from a distance. It turned out that although Xu Qingfan was no longer refining and fusing the "Holy Spirit Relics", the part that had been refined had left extremely majestic Buddhist power and Holy Spirit power in Xu Qingfan's body. At the same time, the "Magic Pearl" was constantly assimilating Xu Qingfan's body, making Xu Qingfan surrounded by demonic energy. No matter what kind of power it was, Xiao Hei didn't like it.

Seeing Xiao Hei like this, Xu Qingfan sighed softly and said lightly: "Xiao Hei, my body is a little abnormal now. You'd better not get close to me recently."

While speaking, Xu Qingfan looked up at the top of his head that was covered. The thick yellow sand made Xu Qingfan unable to judge how deep he was underground, but Xu Qingfan was eager to save people, so he didn't care.

After wasting so much time, there are only ten days left before Zhang Hualing enters the evil, and Xu Qingfan still has to rush from the depths of Xisha to Ronghua Mountain. Not to mention the threat of demonic energy.

But Xu Qingfan took a deep breath and was about to blast away the yellow sand above his head.

However, at this moment, something extremely shocking happened.

ps: I should have written 12,000 words today, but my head is a bit messy. Someone came to my house, and it was a mess. In the afternoon, three or four children were watching me write or running around. I couldn't calm down and affected my mood later. Even if I write it this way, the quality will be very poor. I will just write a chapter of nearly 5,000 words today, and the remaining 8,000 words will be updated together with tomorrow's 12,000 words, which is 20,000 words.
