Chapter 285 - 190 The Death of Wenren Wu, The Longevity Pill Beckons
Having witnessed the ugliness of Xuan Yue and Chi Ling, two Demi Immortals, their obsession with becoming Immortals and their deranged desire for transcendence had disillusioned Gu Wen about the great powers of cultivation.
These people were all commoners, even more unbearably vulgar than the ordinary mortals of the marketplace.
Now, the openness of Wenren Wu took him by surprise. How could he, a mere True Monarch, be more unencumbered than a Demi Immortal?
Gu Wen revealed a smiling face and said, "Great General truly has the demeanor of a Cultivator. I wonder if the cultivators beyond the heavens are also like you?"
"Are you really a mortal from Immortal Land?"
Wenren Wu’s bloodshot eyes sparkled slightly. After receiving Gu Wen’s nod of confirmation, he laughed loudly and said, "Among Cultivators, there is good and evil, those who covet benefits, those who love fighting, and those who fear death and cling to life. In the world beyond the heavens spanning millions of miles, you can encounter all kinds of people. Cultivators have no particular grace; they are all common folk."
"If you seek those who are fearless in the face of death, go to the borderlands. There, many villains abound, and few dread death!"
"Where are these borderlands?"
"Travel eight thousand miles to the west until you see the treetop canopy of Jianmu; that is the borderlands."
"One day, I will witness the splendor of the borderlands myself."
