"Sigh... Well, speaking of reaching the level of Immortal Ascension, you are actually not the first disciple I have encountered. Let me think... You should be the thirteenth one!"

Wuxian was once a prominent figure on the mainland, probably a peak-level powerhouse as well!

"Oh?" Yuanhui was puzzled, "Do I have twelve senior martial brothers? How are their accomplishments now? And most importantly—where are they all?"

"..."

"Master?!"

"Huh?"

Lost in thought, Wuxian seemed hesitant to speak, as if he was pondering something but then forgetting about it.

"Oh, look at my memory!"

Over the years, many things had been forgotten, or maybe due to losing touch for too long, they were simply not remembered.

Wuxian began to carefully search through his memories for the disciples he had once taught, one of them being the senior disciple before Yuanhui—the late Martial Emperor, Wuduantian!!!

"Wait... wait a minute!" Yuanhui was shocked by his teacher's words, "You mean Grandmaster Wu was your previous disciple... and my senior brother?!"

He could hardly believe it, Wuxian was indeed not an ordinary old monster; had he really gone through all these years on the mainland?

"Well... in terms of time, it's not really that long, just a blink of an eye." Wuxian laughed and waved it off.

Time is a butcher's knife, but for Wuxian, it didn't matter anymore.

As time passed, Wuxian admitted that he had forgotten much, even how he died...

One of the early pioneers of the mainland, he had walked from the vast era of Chi to the almost exhausted wasteland era of Chi today. Who knows how many people still dreamed of becoming Immortals, but Wuxian just wanted to say—wake up!

"You might achieve Immortal Ascension, but the realms beyond that..." Wuxian teased, "Actually, Master discovered long ago that Chi is constantly depleting. It might not be long before it's impossible for you to cultivate into an Immortal, let alone activating the star core on this mainland."

"What?" Yuanhui was shocked, "So you mean... we might not even be able to advance to the Elementary Stone level in the future on this mainland?"

"That's right."

Wuxian shook his head with regret, but then quickly resumed his casual demeanor.

"Tsk, why worry so much?"

"How can we not worry? Is there a specific timeline?"

"No, it could be a thousand years from now... or maybe tomorrow, this afternoon."

Wuxian's words were vague, leaving Yuanhui confused. It seemed that overthinking was just a waste of time, but Wuxian's perception was so strong that Yuanhui had to believe that what he said would definitely happen!

"Hehehehe," Wuxian suddenly chuckled coldly, "Isn't that wonderful? With everyone having a limit to their lifespan, everyone's status will be equal due to their strength, without distinctions of high and low. Isn't this the kind of world that everyone dreams of, free from oppression and slaughter, unlike the continent full of it?"

Chi allowed many to save their power and wealth, but it also gave many the capital to engage in wars!

Yes, those people may have the power of Immortals, but they lack the most important thing— the compassion of Immortals.

Countless Immortals, after reaching the Immortal level, continued to devour the Chi of heaven and earth, ultimately leading themselves into an endless abyss.

Wuxian recalled this as well.

"Back then, both I and a friend reached the level of Immortal Emperor at the same time. But like him, I too wanted to explore whether there were higher realms beyond the Immortal Emperor... Hah, who knew we would be torn into countless fragments by the Chi Storm... No, it should be powder to be more precise."

"Powder, uh... Master?"

"Sigh, when Master wakes up next time, will the world—change?"
