Green Cloud Peak.

Chen Xiang’s Cave Mansion.

“Senior Brother Chen…”

Looking at Chen Xiang, who appeared like a white-haired old man from the secular world in the cave mansion, Liang Sheng could not connect him to the Outer Disciple manager he knew before.

This is the helplessness of an approaching lifespan. Time is still cruel to cultivators. No matter how powerful your cultivation is, if you can’t break through to increase your lifespan, all that awaits them is the end of life, and death.

Thus, there is a common rule in the Cultivation World: Cultivators must compete, and sometimes fortune comes from competition.

At this moment, Liang Sheng once again confirmed his path in his heart. Although he had managed to live comfortably for over seven hundred years, that was because his lifespan had never been an issue. Time was just a number to him.

Immortality is his pursuit, but compromise is merely the means to achieve his goal, not a necessary way of life.

Different strengths, different stages, the methods he will use will be different. Now his identity is being a good Inner Sect Disciple of the Dan Ding Sect.

He must still fight for what he needs, compromise does not mean giving up. It is just preserving life before discussing any further disputes.

Of course, what he fights for is different from other cultivators. They fight for every second, to seize life in life or death situations.

He only competes for breakthrough opportunities, never involving life or death. Time will be a powerful weapon to ensure victory in disputes.

Seeing Liang Sheng s gloomy expression at this moment, Chen Xiang knew that he was grieving for him and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“Junior Brother Yang Cheng, you were in closed-door cultivation before. I thought I wouldn’t have the chance to see you again in this lifetime, but now you’ve come to see me. My life is without regrets.”

Liang Sheng looked at him and couldn’t help but feel a little heartache. “Senior Brother Chen, you’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Why not try for a breakthrough? Didn’t you always tell me that cultivators must compete?”

Hearing Liang Sheng’s words, Chen Xiang shook his head. “Golden Yuan Pills are precious. How can the sect not consider the gains and losses, and give one to a waste like me? Besides, you probably don’t know how I established my Foundation, do you?’1

Huh?

Could there be some inside story?

Liang Sheng didn’t expect Chen Xiang to suddenly say this, and couldn’t help but be taken aback. At this time, Chen Xiang didn’t care about his reaction and continued speaking on his own.

“I have average talent, but my family elders didn’t give up on me because of that. I’m grateful for this my whole life, as I’ve enjoyed a lot of affection that many cultivators have never received.

It wasn’t until I was over 150 years old that I reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level. However, by the time 1 turned 180,1 finally sensed that I had achieved Qi Refinement Completion.

So when I first took the Foundation Establishment Pill, it was my last-chance gamble, and of course, I inevitably failed to break through.

But I was blessed after all, and after failing, I happened to gather the materials to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.

That time was the most fortunate day of my life. 1 successfully refined the Foundation Establishment Pill in one attempt.

So, 1 took a total of ten Foundation Establishment Pills just before the end of my life, and barely broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.1’ He turned to look at Liang Sheng, Xiao Qin, and the others, with a look of emotion on his face. “I was originally of shallow fortune, and being able to establish my Foundation was already heaven’s favor. 1 can’t ask for too much more.

In this life, I have always been friendly with others, not causing disputes or owing anyone, except for my family.

At the time of my Foundation Establishment, my family had already passed away. They never had the chance to see me enter the Inner Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple.

You really don’t need to grieve for me. In fact, compared to most people, 1 have been extremely fortunate. I don’t blame anyone for the way things turned out.

1 can only say that my path of cultivation had enough fortune to take me this far. Because of my poor talent, I was willing to become an Outer Disciple manager.

But, because of this, 1 was also happy, as 1 could see that there were also geniuses who could establish their Foundation before turning one hundred in the Outer Sect.

Junior Brother Yang Cheng…”

At this point, Chen Xiang’s tone suddenly paused, then raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Qin and the others without hesitation.

“Actually, just before you came, I gave my personal jade slip to Junior Brothers Xiao Qin because of my selfishness.

1 originally thought that if one day they needed your help, you could see my affection and help them as much as possible.

This is my dying request, after all, in these five hundred years of Foundation Establishment, only Xiao Qin and the others have treated me with brotherly affection. 1 can’t ignore their future.

Back then, I was willing to maintain our dealings because of your father Yang Sheng, and also because of my own selfishness, wanting to establish karma with you before you became successful.

Unfortunately, 1 can’t use this good karma anymore. 1 hope you can agree to my inappropriate request and help Xiao Qin when the time is right.”

Green Cloud Peak under the leadership of the Peak Master has been very united, but as long as there are people, there will be selfish desires.

As the saying goes, a dying person’s words are kind. In this world, apart from Xiao Qin and the others, no one else has any affection towards me.

But I don’t blame others. After all, with my qualifications, it’s already admirable that I could establish my Foundation. Since they can’t get any benefits from me, there’s no need to interact with me.

This has made my friendship with Xiao Qin and the others even more valuable. Junior Brother Yang, 1 hope you can agree to my inappropriate request. ’ Chen Xiang’s words at this moment were somewhat rambling. He didn’t seem very organized and appeared a bit long-winded. But watching Chen Xiang, Liang Sheng’s heart felt even more uncomfortable.

Over the years, Chen Xiang had indeed done his best for him in the Outer Sect. After he had become an Inner Sect Disciple, Chen Xiang had never asked for anything. His so-called selfishness was not worth mentioning at all..
