Chapter 595: A Greater Sky
Qin Jun walked down the shaded path, followed by Zhong Kui and a young scholar—the very first youth with saintly aura he had encountered in this world.
Chen Shuli participated in the Great Qin Kingdom’s imperial examination and emerged as the top scholar. Without any patronage from Qin Jun, he quickly became one of the talents recommended by the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty to the Heavenly World of the Southern Domain.
"Shuli, where is your sister?"
As they walked, Qin Jun struck up a casual conversation. Chen Shuli had previously been studying under Evening Star and had only started following Qin Jun four days ago.
Suppressing his uneasy yet excited heart, Chen Shuli replied softly, "My little sister has joined the sect at North Snow Peak, in pursuit of the path to immortality."
The path to immortality?
Qin Jun shook his head and smiled. He said nothing more, for the higher one stands, the farther one sees.
To become immortal, one must have the approval of the Heavenly Dao.
And what monks truly seek is not immortality but eternal life.
Yet no matter how advanced one’s cultivation is, there comes a day when it ends. At best, one’s lifespan is elongated, but eternal life remains a myth.
Soon, the trio arrived in the Imperial Garden.
