Li Chengqian: Hehe!
I don't know why, but I always see her expression of disgust but also helplessness.
His gaze swept past Shangguan Yan, then swept around the surroundings, and he uttered four words in a low voice.
"The Five Signs of Decay of the Celestial Being!"
"Do you all know what the five signs of decay of a celestial being are?"
"The five signs of decay in gods and men are divided into major and minor signs of decay."
A voice came from room number five in the "Heavenly" section. The door opened, and a wheelchair was slowly pushed out.
The newcomer was none other than Ouyang Mingri, who was known in the martial arts world as "the next Hua Tuo" (a legendary Chinese physician).
Upon exiting the room, Ouyang Mingri bowed to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian also waved to signal Ouyang Mingri to continue explaining.
"The five signs of decay of the great gods and humans come from the Surangama Sutra."
"The five signs of decay of the lesser gods are recorded in the Agamas, Volume 24; the Northern Version of the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, Volume 19; the Mahavibhasa, Volume 70; and the Abhidharmakośa, Volume 10."
"It roughly refers to the various phenomena that occur when celestial beings are about to die."
"However, the realm of the celestial being is too ethereal and elusive. The phrase 'five signs of decay in celestial beings' is generally used by healers to refer to those whose lifespan is nearing its end."
After speaking, Ouyang Mingri cupped his hands in greeting once more.
"Mr. Li, I wonder if I have missed anything in what I said?"
"No!" Li Chengqian shook his head with a smile. "Young Master Ouyang is known as the 'Hua Tuo' (a legendary Chinese physician)."
"Your medical skills are naturally extraordinary. I wonder if you have a way to resolve the five signs of decay in humans?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Mingri shook his head.
"The five signs of decay in humans, to put it simply, mean that Yama, the King of Hell, is about to take someone away."
"I have no way to solve this."
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Li Chengqian turned to look at everyone.
"They say the King of Hell calls people to die at midnight, but who can keep someone alive until dawn?"
"Without reaching the realm of Martial King, one is ultimately just a mortal body, and the lifespan of a mortal is already limited to a hundred years."
"Master Zhang is over 120 years old this year. How much longer do you all think Master Zhang can live?"
Li Chengqian's question truly stumped everyone.
At the age of one hundred, such an age is extremely rare, even across the entire Nine Provinces.
At this age, who dares to say how long they can live?
Who knows when he might just kick the bucket in his sleep?
"Mr. Li, please stop keeping us in suspense. If we knew, we wouldn't be here."
"Exactly, Mr. Li, just because you know it yourself doesn't mean we know it too!"
"We are not you."
"Hehehe!"
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer."
“I checked Master Zhang’s lifespan, and he still has over a hundred years left.”
Everyone:? ? ?
No, don't scare me. Can an ordinary person live that long?
Ignoring the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Li Chengqian continued, "The matter of lifespan is illusory."
"No one can say for sure how long a baby will live."
"When your time is up, no one can save you, because the five signs of decay are the will of Heaven to take your life."
"But in this entire continent of Kyushu, only Zhang Sanfeng survived the five signs of decay of a celestial being on his own."
"You all practice martial arts, Xiaoyaozi cultivates immortality, while Zhang Sanfeng seeks enlightenment."
"It was through this profound and mysterious state of mind that he overcame the five signs of decay in the celestial realm."
“When he achieves the Great Dao, no matter how vast the world is, he will be able to live a carefree life.”
"There are cultivators on the Nine Provinces Continent now, and there will be cultivators in the future, as will the Martial King level."
"But in the entire Nine Provinces, there will only ever be one Zhang Sanfeng, both in the past and in the future!"
After hearing this, everyone swallowed hard.
A wandering swordsman asked tremblingly, "Mr. Li, when Master Zhang succeeds in his enlightenment, will he become someone like Xiaoyaozi?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian shook his head.
""
You shook your head again. What did you say wrong?
"Xiaoyaozi and the others are merely cultivating immortality, not yet becoming immortals."
"Cultivators face three calamities, nine tribulations, and ten tribulations; if they cannot escape them, they will die and their cultivation will be extinguished."
"It's just that these calamities are separated by a long period of time, so people subconsciously believe that cultivators have already achieved immortality."
"But that's not actually the case. Cultivators have only just embarked on the path to immortality."
"As for those who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, their path to immortality has long been severed, because the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man will be waiting for them one day."
"The stronger one is, the more severe the five signs of decay become. This is why entering the Martial King realm is equivalent to cutting off the path to immortality."
"As for Zhang Sanfeng..."
Chapter 319 Mr. Li let slip that Ping An Inn has a mystical aura.
Li Chengqian paused deliberately halfway through his sentence.
He will not suffer from the three calamities, nine tribulations, or ten hardships.
Everyone:? ? ?
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and some martial arts practitioners immediately asked questions.
“Mr. Li, you just said that cultivators face three calamities, nine tribulations, and ten tribulations.”
"Then why doesn't Master Zhang have it?"
"Could it be that after he attains enlightenment, he will directly become an immortal?"
“No,” Li Chengqian shook his head, “the path to immortality is actually the same as taking a master.”
"Those who desire immortality must naturally undergo the trials of Heaven."
"Zhang Sanfeng has already undergone the most severe test; naturally, there are no other tests to be had."
"what!"
Some martial arts practitioners gaped in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This test is so easy?"
Originally, these words were just casual remarks, but when Li Chengqian heard them, he was immediately astonished.
"Simple?"
Surprised, Li Chengqian raised his voice slightly, drawing the attention of everyone in the inn.
All of this was focused on that martial arts practitioner, which terrified him to the point of tears.
I just said it casually, but with so many of you 27 watching me, I feel so much pressure!
Li Chengqian curled his lip and looked at the wandering swordsman with disdain.
"Don't panic, you're not the only one who thinks this way."
"The world is vast and boundless."
"There will always be some extraordinary people who defy common sense, even those who are subject to the three calamities, nine tribulations, and ten tribulations sent down by the Heavenly Dao."
"You can also find a way to avoid it, and some extraordinary people can even withstand the three calamities, nine tribulations and ten tribulations."
"But these five signs of decay in the heavens are the shackles on all living beings under heaven."
"Martial arts masters who have reached the divine level are no less powerful than immortals, and some martial arts experts are even more powerful than immortals."
"If I had to describe the power of a martial arts master in one sentence..."
"This kind of person can move mountains, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress monsters, pluck stars, sever rivers, destroy cities, and even split the heavens with a single sword strike!"
"However, even such a powerful being cannot escape the five signs of decay of a celestial being."
"You actually said it's simple?"
Li Chengqian spoke faster and faster, and the wandering swordsman was almost scared to tears.
But at this point in the novel, Li Chengqian seems to be overwhelmed by anger.
He said directly, "If you can live another hundred years when your time is up, that's something."
"You are absolutely destined to become an immortal. If you don't, I will personally help you achieve it."
Halfway through his speech, Li Chengqian suddenly came to his senses.
Everyone in the inn stared at Li Chengqian in shock.
Although Mr. Li didn't finish his sentence, everyone could already guess what he was going to say next.
The last character is "仙" (xian, meaning immortal).
Everyone: Oh wow!
Hey!
Mr. Li does indeed possess the secret to making people immortal.
