Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 859 - 879: This Is Still Hope, Isn’t It?_1

A battle 10,000 years ago?

Lin Chen’s hair stood on end in an instant, his eyes filled with shock. Didn’t this mean that he had lived for ten thousand years?

Who could live that long in the Barren Wilderness?

No one!

Even if one reached the peak of the Hollow Void Realm, their life would be extended to the limit, barely reaching around 2,500 years. Very few people could live longer, only up to 3,000 years.

Ten thousand years, no one could live that long!

Unless... they become Immortal!

All Cultivators are constantly searching for the path to immortality, isn’t that because they hope to break free from the shackles of life again?

It is said that as long as one ascends to immortality, they truly leave their mortal body behind, no longer needing the food and drink of the Human World, their body pure and untainted, and their life will be greatly extended.

Although ascending to immortality doesn’t mean that they’ll live as long as Heaven and Earth, their life will be measured in tens of thousands of years, instead of just one or two thousand years.

No one has ever found the path to immortality, but now suddenly a person from ten thousand years ago has appeared, alive and well. Isn’t this suddenly telling everyone that eternal life is not a lie, and becoming immortal is not a lie either?

Lin Chen looked at the expressions on everyone’s faces, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that eternal life was the most tempting of all desires.

Even with the appearance of the Emperor’s Seal, everyone was excited, but that was just excitement because it meant that the Human Emperor might appear again.

However, when everyone found out that Jiang Rukong had lived for ten thousand years, everyone’s eyes became extremely hot, filled with longing.

This was the hope of eternal life!

These big shots of the Hollow Void Realm were almost standing at the top of this world, and there weren’t many things that could interest them, but this did not include eternal life.

Eternal life was their eternal pursuit!

Lin Chen cautiously said, "I have an idea..."

All eyes fell on Lin Chen simultaneously, their gazes hot, so hot that Lin Chen was taken aback.

Elder Chief of Red City Mountain smiled kindly, "Whatever thoughts you have, just say them. You are the one who experienced it firsthand. Anything you might have overlooked or missed may be extremely important to the Cultivators of the entire world, so don’t worry, just say whatever you think of."

A group of powerful people around nodded, all showing encouraging gazes.

What a great honor this was.

He had never been taken so seriously...

Lin Chen complained inwardly. If he didn’t have some background and a master backing him, he wondered if these people would use a Soul-searching technique to inquire about the scenes he had encountered.

For the sake of eternal life, they would probably stop at nothing.

Lin Chen spoke candidly, "That Elder Jiang, he clearly has lost his memory. He is also puzzled, wondering if he is dead, why is he still alive, and he can’t remember who he is. The name Jiang Rukong is what the White-clothed Woman said."

"He remembers that he died, but then he lived again, even his appearance hasn’t changed. There is a possibility that, as everyone guesses, he ascended to immortality, then encountered some changes and lost his memory. But I think it’s more likely that after he died, due to some special reason, he was in a state of apparent death for a long time, then under certain special conditions, he woke up."

Elder painter frowned, "You mean, he didn’t ascend to immortality?"

Lin Chen explained, "I came from the Human World, where there is no magic, but technology is very advanced. They are researching how to freeze dying people at extremely low temperatures, then bring them back to life years later. Although this research is not yet fully successful, in this world of Cultivation with a myriad of means, I think it is not impossible for the dead to come back to life."

People looked at each other, and the frenzy in their eyes slowly cooled down.

Elder Chief of Huolin Heaven Cave stroked his beard and said solemnly, "Lin Chen makes a lot of sense. After ten thousand years, even if he really had become immortal, it would be impossible for him not to have changed. But he still looks the same, perhaps it’s not that he became immortal, but that he died and came back to life..."

"It is rumored that the Valley of Death is a Dead End created by the blood rain of battling Immortals. There, even the undead underground can be resurrected, let alone a person."

Everyone suddenly felt deflated.

Just when they felt hopeful about becoming immortal, then you tell me he didn’t become immortal, but came back to life after dying?

Everyone was expecting him to be Immortal, to find the secret of Immortality from him, but it had to be said that the explanation of resurrecting after death was more convincing.

Elder Chief of Red City Mountain sighed, "It seems that in order to solve the mystery, unless we can find Jiang Rukong and find a way to restore his memory, there is no other way."

Elder painter forced a smile, "Jiang Rukong is a member of the Jiang family. The Great Secret Technique, Reducing Land to Inches, is unparalleled under Heaven. Although he is mentally unstable, his strength still remains. It will not be easy to find him and control him."

Elder Chief of Huolin Heaven Cave sighed, "Ascending to immortality is difficult in itself. No matter what, this is a hope, isn’t it?"
