Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Chapter 225: Chapter 223: Demon Beasts Attack the City, Martial Cultivator Life Span

[The 48th Year.]

[Yang Fu had advanced to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, and the Five Elements Spiritual River had become even more vigorous…]

[Yang Fu’s promotion brought upon him a Heavenly Tribulation, his body underwent a transformation, and he reached the Innate Grandmaster Eighth Layer.]

[Last year, Yang Fushuo was active in performing tasks, earning a total of 3,000 points! However, his squad was disbanded due to poisoning from spiritual food.]

[Yang Fushuo joined another task squad…]

[After growing up a bit, Yang Qiang developed an interest in drawing; the images he created had a unique charm. His teacher affectionately described them as: Ghost Talisman.]

[Because Yang Qiangyou was frequently hugged and kissed by girls at school, he often had red spots on his face. Consequently, Shen Yao made for him a transparent magic artifact called the Proximity Avoidance Cover. Once worn on the face, it could prevent other girls’ saliva from touching him without affecting his other senses, proving to be very useful.]

[Yang Qiangjin could speak this year, but however much Tian Mumu tried, she just couldn’t teach her to call out “Daddy”.]

[The cooperation between the Yang Family of Silver Brocade Lake and the Jin Family went smoothly, earning both families a considerable amount of Spirit Stones and bringing them closer together. But Yang Fu knew that this was just a facade built on interests; a jackal would never turn into a docile sheep. It only acted so because you had the meat it longed for.]

[As the exploration of the Devil Wind Forest went deeper, the variety and number of Demon Beasts increased, and their strength became more formidable. The cultivators of the Danai Dynasty were not strong enough to venture any further…]

[Occasionally this year, Demon Beasts in groups attacked Bright City. The Martial Saint led the Sky Dragon Army to suppress them all. Watching this army grow stronger, the Martial Saint smiled more, but his wrinkles grew deeper…]

[The diversity of the Demon Beasts brought forth more talents. Yang Shi, Yang Fuqing, and Yang Fujian all received the blessings of the ancient ancestor, absorbing the essence of dozens of Demon Beasts, vastly improving their strength!]

[The realms of the Yang Family descendants became more profound; their knowledge increased, their family wealth grew, and the incense offerings multiplied…]

[This year’s incense offering surplus was 1950 points.]

[This year’s offerings and rewards were no different from previous years…]

[The 49th Year.]

[During a mission, Yang Fushuo made a breakthrough, successfully reaching the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation! He was just one step away from Qi Cultivation Perfection.]

[Yang Fushuo’s squad, tired of Fasting Pills, tried a spiritual meal personally prepared by Yang Fushuo… The squad disbanded.]

[Yang Fushuo sought a new task squad, with one requirement: the presence of a Detoxification Master.]

[After deeper exploration, the Yang Family realized that the Devil Wind Forest was far from simple, and the fierceness of the Demon Beasts also exceeded their initial expectations…]

[Yang Shi and Ding Zhen, leading the elders of the Xuan Stone Sect, were only able to suppress high-realm Demon Beasts, and the increase in high-level Demon Beasts made the supplies within Bright City much richer…]

[Hu Yue suddenly sensed something in the night and felt something was happening in the Devil Wind Forest, so she informed Yang Shi before venturing out to investigate.]

[After years of effort, Yang Fuqing finally obtained the Wood Element Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object from the Devil Wind Forest — the Jade Dragon Wood, preparing for her own Foundation Establishment.]

[…]

[The 50th Year.]

[Cat Soul Feather · Hu Yue returned to Bright City, bringing back some troubling news… She perceived the arrival of a new Demon Clan, and it seemed that the frequent attacks upon Bright City were instigated by them.]

[Bright City entered a state of alert!]

[…]

[….]

[The 51st Year.]

[Yang Fushuo achieved Qi Cultivation Great Perfection and, through the 8,590 points he had saved over the years and the 11,500 points from the sale of Spirit Stones provided by his family, he exchanged them for the Fire Element Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object — the Phoenix Blood Crystal.]

[Yang Fu advanced to the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, Innate Grandmaster Ninefold, and in the Sect’s minor competition, he defeated an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment elder brother outright.]

[This year, the Jin Family members were somewhat anxious during the trade, repeatedly asking whether the elixirs had any side effects. Yang Fushuo stated that he was just meddling with medicines and knew bugger all about Alchemy…]

[The Spirit Fields surrounding Bright City were ravaged by Demon Beasts. There was a mysterious force in the Devil Wind Forest controlling the Demon Beasts to attack Bright City… Yang Shi led the cultivators to repel the Demon Beasts several times.]

[The Sky Dragon Army played an extremely important role. This iron-blooded army was quickly maturing in the war…]

[….]

[…]

[The 52nd Year.]

[The Martial Saint encountered a surprise attack by Demon Beasts, was severely injured and struggled on the brink of death…]

“Master!”

Yang Shi knelt in front of the Martial Saint in the room, looking at him with his last breath, tears streaming from his tiger-like eyes.

“The elixir! The Third Grade Life Extending Pill, get it for me!”

Yang Shi roared.

Disciples from Xuan Stone Sect hurried to fetch an Elixir, but the Martial Saint opened his eyes, fatigue covering his face, and shook his head weakly.

“It’s useless… my lifespan has run out, it can’t be saved…”

“Master!”

Yang Shi called out, then tears streamed down his cheeks.

He knew it all too well…

But he didn’t want to give up even the slightest chance.

“Why do we martial cultivators have such short lifespans… Why, Master!”

He was unwilling! @@novelbin@@

He felt injustice for the Martial Saint, for himself, and for all martial cultivators in the world!

Why could cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage live three hundred years, while martial cultivators in the Divinity Realm had a lifespan limit of only 150 years?

Why?

Why should martial cultivators be considered inferior!

The number of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and demon beasts that died at Yang Shi’s hands were countless, his ancestors had given him blessing after blessing, and he had absorbed so much demon beast essence. Why couldn’t he extend his lifespan?

Looking at the Martial Saint with his snow-white hair, he saw his own future.

The Martial Saint, seeing the unwillingness in Yang Shi’s eyes, revealed a slight smile.

“Being unwilling… is the right feeling. I was the same as you back in the day.”

“In the Danai Dynasty, martial cultivators only reached the innate master level. No one understood the method to train divine sense, nor had the chance to find Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, so nobody reached the Divinity Realm. But I… did it.”

As the Martial Saint said this, a smile of pride spread across his face, for his proudest achievement in life was opening up the Divinity Realm.

“The Divinity Realm is not the end for us martial cultivators… It’s just that no one has found the next path yet. I’ve been searching for years, but as my body deteriorated, I found nothing…”

Yang Shi listened and nodded fiercely.

“Disciple will definitely find the next path, opening a new realm for our martial cultivators!”

“However…”

At this moment, the Martial Saint’s face flushed slightly, and his eyebrows lifted in joy. Excitement coursed through him.

“However, in the face of life and death, I saw a path… The very thing limiting our lifespan is the next path!”

“Hm!?”

Yang Shi was utterly perplexed.

But the Martial Saint’s complexion grew even more rosy and lively, as if a surge of energy sprang from within his body, allowing him to sit up, reclaiming the dignity of the top martial artist.

“There is great terror between life and death. If we martial cultivators wish to enter the next realm and break the limits of lifespan, we must confront death head-on and rebuild a body as advanced as that of a cultivator!”

“Rebuild the body?”

Yang Shi murmured to himself, not quite understanding.

“Master, how do we rebuild our bodies? All our current realms are built upon this body. If we rebuild it, wouldn’t we be starting again from zero?”

“Starting body refinement all over?”

“Mas…”

Yang Shi suddenly stopped, noticing that the Martial Saint sitting on the bed had already passed away.

In the last moments of his life, the Martial Saint was still contemplating the Martial Arts.

He eagerly imparted his last insight before passing on…

Yang Shi knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply three times.

“Bury Martial Saint Master… below Bright City.”

Yang Shi had no time to grieve, for Bright City was still waiting for him.

The outside demon beasts wouldn’t pity an old man who had just died in their jaws…

“I want those demon beasts to be buried with him!”
