Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 317: Chapter 271: One Slash to Split the Mountain! One Slash to Destroy the Cult! (Double-Length)

And on this day of farewell, she suddenly felt a touch of regret in her heart.

Her feelings for Song Changming had sprouted a long time ago, but she never faced them directly, always burying them deep in her heart.

As time passed, year after year, the longer they spent together, the harder it became to express these feelings.

”Take care, don’t be stubborn,” Song Changming gave Liu Yan’Er a gentle smile.

”Mm...” Liu Yan’Er suppressed the fleeting sadness in her eyes and returned a smile.

Watching the four depart, Liu Ziwen turned to Liu Yan’Er and shook his head, ”Yan’Er, is this really okay? Your Brother Song has left?”

”Mm, this is fine,” Liu Yan’Er nodded earnestly.

She knew very well that this was an impossible relationship.

With her meticulous mind, she had long seen that Song Changming saw her more as a sister and never had romantic feelings.

Thus, even if she pursued him, there would be no result.

Moreover, she felt she couldn’t keep up with, or was worthy of, Song Changming’s pace of growth.

Now, Song Changming had become an unparalleled strongman in the Da Lai Martial Realm, so radiant that she lacked the confidence to stand beside him.

”I will make my way to the Ancient Abyss Country through my own effort, and then...”

She didn’t say this to Liu Ziwen, as her pride wouldn’t allow her to merely be a follower or accessory to Song Changming.

”Well, for people like us who practice martial arts, the meaning of life is not just about fleeting love.” Liu Ziwen no longer tried to persuade her.

Just as he’s still unmarried to this day, which is nothing unusual for a martial artist.

The higher a martial artist’s cultivation is, the less urgency there is to marry and have children.

One reason is that they often have high standards, disdaining ordinary women; merely toying with them is fine, but mutual love is almost impossible.

Another reason is their desire to constantly break through in Martial Tao, pursuing the supreme realm, leading many to sever emotions and desires!

For them, women would only slow down their drawing of the sword...

Besides Liu Yan’Er, Liang Zhao Long of the Changming Association, as well as Song Ping’an who had been following him, were given the chance by Song Changming to make their own choices.

Whether to stay and continue leading the Changming Association or join him in going to the Ancient Abyss Country.

In the end, like Liu Yan’Er, Liang Zhao Long couldn’t relinquish the Changming Association, for which he had struggled half his life, and chose to stay.

Song Ping’an, on the other hand, with no relatives, only had Song Changming, a brother more than family, and naturally chose to follow closely.

And as for Su Qingqing in the team, she was the one most eager to go to the Ancient Abyss Country.

As for Li Jinyu, it had been prearranged for him to accompany Song Changming.

The four, along with two dogs, left the city, proceeding towards the Outer Domain accompanied by gentle winds and warm sunshine.

While people were still elated over Song Changming’s act of wiping out the Three Immortals Gu Sect again, they were unaware that Song Changming had quietly left.

All his past feats are destined to be written into various histories and circulated in the martial realm and among common folk for a long time.

Entering the Land of Great Fog in the Outer Domain, it wasn’t the first time for the four to come, so they were not uncomfortable.

Even the weakest, Li Jinyu, was calm and composed in the team.

He knew very well that with Song Changming in the team, no matter how rampant the Fog Beasts were, they couldn’t threaten the four of them.

Not to mention Su Qingqing and Song Ping’an, both high-caliber martial artists from the Celestial List, being in their company he was undoubtedly safe.

And the journey was indeed peaceful.

The number of Fog Beasts and Fierce Beasts daring to offend them was few, even those that did seemed to offer free meals.

Soon, Song Changming, at ease, arrived at the Abyssal Land.

In fact, shortly after annihilating the Three Immortals Gu Sect, he had already attempted to cross the Bottomless Abyss by harnessing Innate Qi Aura.

He spent several days traversing the Red Earth Continent, verifying the newly paved route, and only after confirming no involvement in bizarre dangers did he return.

Having the trial flight experience, unless an unexpected situation occurred, he would reach the Ancient Abyss Country safely and without much effort, not requiring the power of a few pieces of talisman paper.

”So this is the abyss...”

Apart from Song Changming, the other three were quite shocked as they gazed at the nearby legendary Bottomless Abyss.

The two dogs also ground their teeth, sensing the threat from the abyss, their bodies on full alert.

This massive and dark fissure stretched across the land, making it seem as if they had reached the world’s end.

The existence of that Energy Barrier further obscured the view of the other side, instilling despair in people as to how they could traverse this chasm.

”Back then, the ones who sent me here from my family, they indeed went to great lengths...” Su Qingqing clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in resentment.

Though once dragged across the abyss, she had no memory of this place, indicating she was unconscious at the time.

”Changming, are you really confident? Our lives are in your hands now.”

Li Jinyu swallowed, standing at the edge of the abyss, looking down.

The pitch-black abyss was bottomless, seemingly possessing a huge allure, pulling his heart and spirit downwards.

Though not afraid of heights, at this moment, he felt his legs go weak, unable to keep his footing steady.

”Brother Jin Yu, if you are scared, I can send you back; compared to this abyss, the Ancient Abyss Country that follows is truly perilous,” Song Changming glanced at him, saying.

”Hehe, what are you saying, of course I trust you, no reason to turn back now,” Li Jinyu laughed dryly, attempting to step back to avoid actually falling into the abyss.

At that moment, a commotion arose from below the abyss, before Li Jinyu could react, a Gluttonous Beast surged from the darkness of the abyss along the cliff, pouncing straight up.

Roaring, it opened its mouth, aiming to bite Li Jinyu.

If bitten, Li Jinyu would lose a significant portion of his flesh and blood.
