Chapter 90: The Decaying Body Fears Vitality
“Descending into the Mortal World is not merely a feeling. It is a stage that every cultivator of the Twelvefold Stages of Longevity must inevitably experience.”
“When one's qi descends into the mortal world, it becomes entangled with countless karmic threads. According to the accumulated experiences of Great Qian's cultivators, from this stage onward, one becomes increasingly prone to being drawn into the karma and tribulations of others.”
Only after regulating his breathing for a long time did Li Shun gradually adapt to this body that felt as though it had been reborn.
Noticing that Elder Mu seemed to glance in his direction, a thought stirred within Li Shun's mind. He cupped his hands and asked, “Elder Mu, this Imperial Mausoleum's sealed earth is completely isolated from the outside world. Then by common reasoning, if one remained hidden here indefinitely, wouldn't it be possible to avoid the Heaven's Reclaiming Lifespan Tribulation?”
After ten years of rest, Elder Mu appeared to have recovered some of his strength.
He lazily replied, “You brat are quite sharp. That's right. When Mu Wujiu built this mausoleum, he indeed intended to use it as a refuge from calamity. But later...”
“Perhaps he simply became so powerful that he no longer needed this Imperial Mausoleum.”
Elder Mu let out a cold chuckle.
“In the beginning, he attached tremendous importance to this place. He even paid an enormous price to obtain a design map from a Daoist Sage.”
