Eternal Life: Talent Grows with Age-Chapter 143 - 116: Nangua Enters the Spirit Realm

"Fuyun Mountain?"

"All you need to know is that Fuyun Mountain is a famous Immortal Sect in the Spirit Realm."

At this point, the person within the rift seemed to be reaching their limit, their words speeding up as they continued, "I’ve lingered here for far too long. If I still can’t see results, I have to leave. Although those of us who cultivate the immortal path live longer than ordinary people, our lives are not endless."

"If you think it’s possible, step into the rift. With my protection, Miss Nangua won’t be harmed by any monsters."

"Immortal, may we ask if you could let us all enter the Spirit Realm together?" Lu Chang’sheng asked.

The people behind him all looked forward eagerly.

"I understand your concern," the figure replied, "But with my current power, I cannot bring those without Spirit Root across."

"Then forget it," Li Nangua said.

But Lu Chang’sheng gently tugged her hand.

"I know what you’re all worried about, but right now, I truly can’t promise you anything."

The reality was, there was still a space barrier between them. Even as one who cultivates, he could not simply ignore it.

However, Lu Chang’sheng spoke up, "I can let my wife enter, but only if you swear an oath upon your own cultivation. What do you think? If not, then forget it."

Lu Chang’sheng could tell the other person was beginning to change their mind, so he pressed the point.

"Swearing a Daoist Oath is indeed a solution. Very well."

The person on the other side began to swear a Daoist Oath, staking it on their own cultivation.

If anything done this time were to harm Li Nangua, their cultivation in this life would instantly be lost.

After hesitating again and again, Lu Chang’sheng finally convinced Li Nangua to step into the rift.

Otherwise, even if Li Nangua brought her martial skills to their utmost peak, she would still be a mere mortal. Once she reached a hundred years of age, she would not escape the erosion of time.

As for the Daoist Oath, Lu Chang’sheng wasn’t sure it would truly restrain the other party. Still, psychologically, it offered a bit of reassurance.

Beyond that, none of the Immortal’s words held any ill intent. That was the real reason he made his choice.

Sure enough, as his purpose was achieved, the Immortal seemed quite pleased, and in return, left Lu Chang’sheng something as a gift.

"This item is called a Sound Transmission Shell, sealed with a Fifth-Tier Sound Transmission Spell. Even if you are separated by worlds, you can send messages."

"And this is for you as payment. It’s a Longevity Pill. Take it, and your life will be extended."

In a flash of light, two objects appeared in Lu Chang’sheng’s hands.

One looked like a snail shell, giving off an otherworldly, mysterious glow.

The other was a small jade bottle.

"Once you reach the Spirit Realm, have your wife send you some news of her safety, to give you peace of mind."

Hearing this, Lu Chang’sheng felt much more at ease.

This journey was a bit of a risk for Li Nangua, but Lu Chang’sheng knew: if she missed this chance, it might not come again.

"Chang’sheng!"

Li Nangua gazed back with deep reluctance in her eyes.

Lu Chang’sheng felt a tangle of worry and regret, unsure if letting Nangua take this path was right or wrong.

This feeling of something out of his control, it had truly been a long time since he experienced it.

"If you really don’t want to do this, then we just won’t go!" Lu Chang’sheng blurted out.

Li Nangua held Lu Chang’sheng tightly. "But—I want to be with you for a longer time."

Lu Chang’sheng was full of reluctance, cherishing Nangua all the more, heart aching for her.

She suddenly smiled softly and said, "Do you still remember when we first arrived in Prefecture City at Black Mountain Prefecture? At that time, Black Monkey and the others all followed behind you, watching you shelter us from wind and rain. Even though we tried our hardest, we still couldn’t keep up with your footsteps, only moving forward, step by step, under your protection."

"Black Monkey and the others have never forgotten. That’s why they chose a different path—to one day become the ones who could truly shield you from all harm."

"I really understand how they feel," Li Nangua said with a smile.

Lu Chang’sheng’s gaze grew impossibly gentle.

He had always known their thoughts. It’s just, sometimes, his own light shone too bright. No matter how hard those around him tried, they could not outshine him.

"So this time, that I get to take the first step—I admit, I’m a bit excited!"

Li Nangua tilted her head up in Lu Chang’sheng’s arms, looking at his face.

There were many reasons why her thoughts had changed, but the spark was the jade bottle in Lu Chang’sheng’s hand.

Clearly, the so-called Spirit Realm must have pills that could extend one’s lifespan. If she could find more Longevity Pills, then Lu Chang’sheng could live even longer.

And—cultivation.

She wanted to carve out a place for cultivation in the Spirit Realm for him, just as he once created a good life for them all those years ago.

"Immortal, I wish to know—how can I bring my husband and the others into the Spirit Realm someday?"

Li Nangua asked.

"Given your world’s current state, there are a few ways to enter the Spirit Realm, but all have difficult requirements. Only one is certain."

"Your world is really just a speck of dust that once split off from the Spirit Realm. This dust drifts in the air but will eventually fall. Once it lands, it naturally returns to the border of the realms, and then, you’ll be able to connect to the lands of the Spirit Realm."

At these words, everyone was overjoyed.

"How long will this take?"

"By my estimation, no more than twenty years at most."
