Chapter 10: Different Immortal Methods
"How did the mortals in the Great Migration come to the Land of Immortals?" Perhaps he had never cared about this question, Kou Hong was stunned when he heard Li Fan ask this.
"Thousands of years have passed since the Great Plague, and we don't know the specific situation at that time. We basically just heard about everything at the time." After thinking for a moment, Kou Hong shook his head.
"Why, you still don't give up?" Kou Hong looked at Li Fan and couldn't help but sneered, "Even if you get out, what can you do? You are seventy years old, and you still want to cultivate immortality..."
He was halfway through his speech, but saw Li Fan's cold eyes scanning around him, and several cruel officials on the side looked eager and covetous, so he couldn't help but shiver and shut his mouth in embarrassment.
Kou Hong has been released from prison by Li Fan.
After being trapped in a secret room by Li Fan and baptized with immortal miasma, his cultivation level regressed significantly and fell directly to the initial stage of Qi Refining.
All the Taoist methods are unusable, and now he is just a slightly stronger mortal.
After being captured, Kou Hong was still cursing, but after several rounds of torture, he finally became obedient.
"It turns out that the high and mighty cultivators, after losing their cultivation, are no different from us mortals. In fact, they are not as strong as us." A cruel official on the side said sarcastically.
"Yes, this person didn't even last an hour under our hands." Another cruel official also echoed.
Kou Hong was very calm: "It is better to live than to die. Besides, in the world of cultivating immortals, life and death, success and failure are common. Although you are an ordinary mortal, your means and will are all good. We two brothers have nothing to say about being plotted against by you. It's just that you are not as skilled as others!"
"Don't you hate me?" Li Fan was a little curious.
"Hate, of course I hate!" Kou Hong took a sip of the wine that Li Fan prepared for him, "But what can I do? Now you are the knife and I am the fish, do I have to say harsh words to you? Isn't this the way to death?"
"You are open-minded!" Li Fan sneered.
"It's just a way to survive!" Kou Hong snorted coldly.
"If you can return to the world of cultivation, can you continue to cultivate?" After a moment of silence, Li Fan suddenly asked.
"What..." Kou Hong didn't react for a while.
"If you can help me find a way to go to the world of cultivation, maybe I will take you with me then." Li Fan promised.
"You treacherous villain, you still want to deceive me?" Kou Hong was furious, but he soon calmed down and looked at Li Fan fiercely.
Li Fan's face was calm: "Whether it's true or false, it's a hope after all. Are you willing to give up this way of life and die of old age in this small place?"
Hearing Li Fan's words, Kou Hong fell silent.
His expression changed drastically, and it was obvious that he was struggling inside.
After a long time, he finally sighed.
"Okay! I promise you!"
"Don't worry, I, Li Fan, always keep my promises and stick to my words." Li Fan said in a deep voice.
The cruel official next to him looked solemn and lowered his head.
Everyone in the court knew that the current Tai Shi said what he meant: if he said he would kill your whole family, he would kill your whole family!
"Don't paint a big picture for me. I am willing to help you, but I am just betting on that glimmer of hope." Kou Hong sneered.
Seeing this, Li Fan did not explain to him, but directly explained his guess to him.
"If I'm right, the instruments used by the immortal cultivators to migrate the mortals should be flying boats and flying shuttles. In ancient times, the immortal cultivators had a large population, many sects, and were extremely prosperous. Such transport instruments were very popular. Unfortunately, the world changed drastically, and the immortal cultivators were all worried about their own safety. They basically acted alone, and flying boats and flying shuttles were rarely seen." Kou Hong responded slowly after listening.
"Does the great change in the world refer to the strange plague?" Li Fan asked.
"Although the immortal and mortal miasma is strange, it can't shake the foundation of the immortal cultivators. In fact, the reason why the immortal and mortal miasma can run rampant is that most of the cultivators in the world have died in a catastrophe. The strength of the immortal cultivators has dropped sharply, so they can't effectively deal with the immortal and mortal miasma." Kou Hong shook his head, looking a little solemn.
"Great calamity of heaven and earth?" Li Fan suddenly remembered the scene of the dilapidated mountain gate he saw in the depths of the abyss before, and couldn't help but think, "Could it be that immortal methods cannot be practiced together?"
Kou Hong looked at Li Fan in surprise, not understanding how he thought of it.
"Yes, immortal methods cannot be practiced together!" Kou Hong sighed.
"In ancient times, there was no such restriction. At that time, many immortal cultivation sects opened their sects and accepted disciples to teach. The immortal cultivators had the guidance of their masters, and they could ask for advice at any time when they encountered difficulties in their cultivation, and they could learn from each other with their fellow disciples who practiced the same method. At that time, the entire immortal cultivation world was so vibrant and magnificent!" Kou Hong said, unable to hide his yearning.
"What a shame! The world has changed drastically! The immortal cultivators suddenly discovered one day that the efficiency of their practice had been greatly reduced. While practicing, they would also feel how many people in the entire immortal cultivation world were practicing the same method at the same time. They were also shocked to find that the more people practiced the same method at the same time, the lower the practice efficiency of all the practitioners of this method would be." Kou Hong spoke slowly in a low voice, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"At first, everyone was restrained and wanted to find a solution to the problem. But in the following decades, countless cultivators were trapped in the same place and could not make any progress in their cultivation. Until the deadline was approaching, they could no longer hide their murderous intent."
"A catastrophe that swept the entire cultivation world began. As long as you practice the same method as me, you are blocking my path and I will fight to the death! The former masters, disciples, brothers and sisters, all became mortal enemies in an instant! Even if someone doesn't want to kill in their heart, but under the general trend, how can you guarantee that the other party also thinks so? Who dares to guarantee that the other party will not suddenly stab you? All the cultivators... Immortals were caught in endless suspicion, and the only person people could trust was themselves! "
"At that time, all the sects turned into purgatory in an instant. And those scattered cultivators who hid in the secret places of the deep mountains and tried to take refuge were not spared. Because, cultivators who practiced the same technique would sense each other's position!"
"Killing, endless killing. I don't know how long it lasted before it gradually subsided. At this time, the originally prosperous world of immortal cultivation had become extremely desolate, all the sects no longer existed, and only the solitary immortal cultivators were left. "Kou Hong told the story of this ancient great change in the world of immortal cultivation.
Li Fan's heart was also surging when he heard it, but even bigger questions followed.
Since immortal techniques cannot be practiced together, how do the immortal cultivators practice now? What is the scene of the world of immortal cultivation now?
