Immortality: My cultivation Has No Bottleneck

Great Zhou, Emperor Jing’s thirtieth year.

Emperor Gaozong stayed alone in the imperial mausoleum, and passed away peacefully in his sleep. In accordance with his last wish, Emperor Jing buried him directly in the mausoleum without holding a large funeral, so as not to burden the people and waste resources.

After that, Emperor Jing observed three years of mourning, not resorting to weapons or war, which made neighboring small countries breathe a sigh of relief, with some even feeling fortunate that Gaozong died well.

This was not surprising given the attitude of those small countries; this was mainly because Emperor Jing of Great Zhou was a ruthless person, even more so than previous rulers of the dynasty.

During the thirty years since Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he extinguished three small countries, including the Later Song. Jing was actually prepared to move on to the fourth country, but had to reluctantly give up halfway due to the death of Emperor Gaozong.

When he reached fifty years old, Emperor Jing completed the conquest of four nations and withdrew from his position. Just like his ancestors before him, he passed the throne to the crown prince.

At this time, the new emperor ascended the throne and took the title of Emperor Danzong.

Fifteen years after Emperor Danzong, Great Zhou swallowed another country, making its national strength unprecedented. Not only neighboring small countries but also nations faraway started sending emissaries to the Great Zhou dynasty to pay tribute.

At this point, Great Zhou’s power was overwhelming!

Xigu Pass, a small town at the foot of the mountain.

Not many people lived in the small town. As evening approached, women began to call their children home for dinner. The hardworking men only had hearty smiles, pouring a glass of water and wine to relieve a day’s fatigue.

Although Great Zhou’s national strength was thriving, they still needed to work, but they had enough food and clothing. Even during the New Year, they could afford some fabric to make new clothes for their wives and children.

This was already a prosperous era.

At this moment, in the forests of Xigu Pass, Liang Sheng was almost one with the forest, hiding outside of the thick fog-shrouded mountain cave, undetectable by anyone.

Since Liang Sheng severed his identity as the Zhou family’s “ancestor” by now, sixty-four years had passed. Throughout these years, the Hua Tian Sect had never sent anyone, and Liang Sheng gradually relaxed, but he did not completely let down his guard.

However, with so many years gone by and an ample supply of Qi Refining Pills and spirit stones, Liang Sheng’s cultivation had no bottlenecks under the Talent of Innocent Foolishness, and his cultivation level had once again improved. Even the distance to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level was finally within reach…

Name: Liang Sheng

Age: 426

Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top grade)

Techniques: Upper Pure Immortal Scripture (Eighth Level), Twenty Life-Nurturing Techniques (Seventeenth Level), Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique (Curse)

Realm: Qi Cultivation Eighth Level (61%)

Lifespan: 12,407

From the moment Liang Sheng crossed over, more than four hundred years had passed; this mortal world was no longer the same place, and only he remained constant, immortal among men.

Liang Sheng’s sudden arrival at Xigu Pass this time was not a whim. It was because the Zhou family had finally taken that step.

Previously, Liang Sheng had instigated Emperor Gaozong’s ancestral teachings, saying that once Great Zhou destroyed five more countries, an immortal destiny could be expected. With Emperor Danzong now achieving this great feat, he finally decided to set off for Mount Kunwu and strike the Nine Ding.

Danzong’s bloodline ability of seeking fortune and avoiding evil faintly told him that it was auspicious!

Considering the circumstances, Liang Sheng naturally didn’t hesitate and set off to Xigu Pass before the Great Zhou, suspecting that today might be the day to completely resolve his entanglement with the Hua Tian Sect’s manager.

However, based on previous estimates, it would take Emperor Danzong of Great Zhou about three days to reach Xigu Pass, and the Hua Tian Sect would still need some time to send people to the mortal world.

Liang Sheng was silently waiting with his eyes closed, but suddenly opened them at midnight, looking somewhat puzzled towards the thick fog outside the cave.

Has the Hua Tian Sect’s people arrived so soon?

At this moment, an acquaintance was already standing there. Liang Sheng hid in the dark, holding his breath, feeling that the person was familiar, and after a long time, he remembered who the other person was.

It was Chen Fengchen, the Hua Tian Sect’s cultivation disciple that Liang Sheng had first met back then.

At that time, Liang Sheng was still in the innate realm and couldn’t see through Chen Fengchen’s realm. Now, although he had reached the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level, he still couldn’t see through the other’s realm.

Moreover, according to the time, it could be confirmed that the other party had lived for more than two hundred years and should have passed the Qi Cultivation Realm, at least reaching the Foundation Establishment level of cultivation.

As for the Golden Core Realm, absolutely impossible.

Even within the Hua Tian Sect, cultivators who reach the Golden Core Realm are equivalent to peak masters. How could they be sent to the mortal world to deal with the Great Zhou dynasty?

However, even so, the fact that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was sent to negotiate with the mortal world showed the importance the Hua Tian Sect placed on the Great Zhou.

What Liang Sheng did not know was that the Hua Tian Sect’s importance to Great Zhou was one of the reasons, but the other reason was the fear of someone shamelessly causing trouble along the way. That’s why the Hua Tian Sect sent Chen Fengchen.

Over the past sixty-five years, the friction between the Hua Tian Sect and the Upper Green Sect had grown increasingly intense. It began with only small frictions between the outer sect disciples, but the Hua Tian Sect had lost a manager who had only barely reached Foundation Establishment.

Although it involved Great Zhou, a secular dynasty that the Refining Equipment Peak Elder had become increasingly fond of, the Hua Tian Sect had discreetly hinted at the Upper Green Sect, without making any drastic moves since they had no direct evidence and only suspicion.

If it proceeded this way, there would be no significant incidents between the two sects for the sake of appearances. However, thirty years ago, the Refining Device Peak Elder successfully refined a spirit tool again, further enhancing the strength of the Hua Tian Sect.

At first, the Refining Device Peak Elder’s power fell short during the process of refining the spirit tool, and it seemed that the attempt would fail. However, the sudden surge of luck from the Great Zhou dynasty brought the spirit tool back to life at the last moment, rejuvenating its spirit and forming a soul for the spirit tool..
