Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 251: Chapter 249: No Hope for Innate, Useless to Keep (Double Chapter)

Guo Gui withdrew his palm, shaking his head with regret, ”Though you possess this Water Element Physique, you’ve taken a wrong path. Let me ask you, did you use the Secret Technique to refine Fierce Beast Essence Qi for Body Refinement?”

Song Changming frowned and nodded, sensing an ominous premonition.

Judging by the other’s tone, it seemed he had committed a grave mistake.

”That’s it. Though Fierce Beast Essence Qi can refine the body, consuming it in large amounts will lead to a chaotic Blood Qi. In the future, if you wish to enter the Innate Realm, you must mold a Purity Body.

Your Blood Qi is so chaotic, forming a Purity Body will be a hundred times more difficult than for ordinary Martial Artists. In my opinion, reaching the Innate Realm is nearly hopeless. Truly a pity for this Water Element Physique...”

Guo Gui looked at the azure dragon shadow behind Song Changming, shaking his head, no longer interested in recruiting him.

His gaze turned to the Zhuyu sect members, asking, ”Your sect excels in the way of water, do you want this person?”

Chen Feiyi also shook her head, saying plainly, ”Having lost the hope of reaching the Innate Realm, taking him is useless...”

The others were initially attracted by Song Changming’s Phenomenon Physique, but upon hearing this, they all looked away.

They had essentially branded Song Changming as hopeless for the Innate Realm.

Not reaching the Innate Realm meant the path of the Martial Tao was dark, or even cut off, hardly worth the consideration as a talent.

Song Changming hadn’t expected such a result to be discovered, and fell silent.

This Celestial Essence Body Refining Secret Technique had given him an indomitable physique and power, yet had become his greatest obstacle in Qi Refining.

”Is there no other way to resolve this disadvantage?” Song Changming murmured, pursing his lips.

”In the Ancient Abyss Country, there are always solutions, but whether you find them is another matter, for I am at my wit’s end,” Guo Gui finally told Song Changming.

Even an Innate Martial Artist like him was helpless, let alone a Qi Refining Martial Artist like Song Changming. Even if there was a solution, finding it would certainly be fraught with difficulty.

The first point being that Song Changming had to rely on himself to go to the Ancient Abyss Country.

These Innate Powerhouses looked down on him one by one, so naturally, they wouldn’t take him along.

”Indeed, power always comes at a price...” Song Changming sighed inwardly.

Walking a crooked path with Secret Technique Body Refining was never the proper way.

”But who says I can’t forge a path of cultivation uniquely my own! No matter, I have plenty of time to solve this problem...”

Upon hearing this bad news, the vexation in Song Changming’s heart lasted only a moment before he was re-energized.

Since others had deemed he couldn’t step into the Innate Realm and looked down on him, he would cross the Abyss with his own strength!

He would ask no one for help!

On the other side, Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang were also unprepared for Song Changming’s misfortune.

They recognized Song Changming’s growth potential and personal strength and felt some regret over this.

Song Changming’s Phenomenon Aura dissipated, and his Inner Qi returned to normal. He silently descended the mountain.

Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang had already dealt with matters at Sword Cliff and Wangyue Pavilion and were no longer needed to return to Da Han as they had been chosen by Spirit Sword Mountain.

They would go as they wished to the Ancient Abyss Country to further their martial studies.

If they met again in the future, they feared that time would bring changes to both people and situations.

”Let’s go back.”

Upon reaching the mountain foot, Song Changming murmured.

Though he had not been selected by those Innate Martial Artists from the Ancient Abyss Country this trip, he nonetheless did not come back empty-handed.

This journey to explore the Outer Realm had granted him much valuable information and intelligence.

He explored the situation of the Abyss, information about the Corpse Refining Sect, including the identity and name of the elder who took away his two brothers’ bodies.

Furthermore, he had witnessed firsthand the presence of Innate Martial Artists and was faced with the significant hidden danger of continuing Body Refinement.

This exploration of the Outer Domain had lasted a long time, and it was time for him to return.

For the time being, he hadn’t yet experienced the environment-imposed limits on cultivation that Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang faced.

Therefore, continuing to stay in Da Han meant his cultivation would not be affected.

Of course, apart from cultivating, he daily needed to study methods to cross the Abyss.

Now that the path to the Abyss was clear, the only hurdle was the bottomless Abyss itself and the potentially emerging powerful Fog Beasts along the way!

Just as Song Changming was about to leave, suddenly a group of people approached, surrounding him.

”Stop!” One of them said coldly to Song Changming.

”...” Song Changming vaguely recognized these people.

They were part of the crowd seen when he, Nan Wuji, and Su Yaoguang first ascended to the top of Dragon Gate Mountain.

If it weren’t for the arrival of the Innate Practitioners from the Ancient Abyss Country earlier, a fierce battle might have already erupted at the summit.

Now that Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang had been taken away by Innate Powerhouses, they naturally couldn’t target those two.

Seeing Song Changming descend the mountain, they followed.

”So, now that Nan Wuji has abandoned you?” An Outer Realm expert sneered, staring at Song Changming.

”Indeed, now that he’s going to the Ancient Abyss Country, leaving you behind is only natural.”

”If you cooperate, perhaps we’ll leave you a way out.”

Song Changming had only reached the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, which they had just witnessed firsthand.

Though he bore the Phenomenon Physique, looking impressive, they were many, and all were above the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

Joining forces, they didn’t believe capturing Song Changming would be difficult.

Song Changming glanced at these Outer Realm experts, and his gaze gradually became dangerous.

He released his Inner Qi, transforming it into True Yang Qi, and golden flames ignited around him.
