RPAGF Chapter 261 The Descendant of the Sinful Immortal
Chapter 261 The Descendant of the Sinful Immortal
"No wonder he said those weren't human."
The strange feeling in the Qian Dynasty, and the "people" there.
In their memories, they were all outsiders, but why did their memories only begin with their life in the Qian Dynasty?
They live very long lives, and Liu Jun has personally experienced the days and nights there. Unless the time flow in the Qian Dynasty is not the same as that in the outside world, she also asked about this matter, and it is indeed the case, but the difference between inside and outside is not particularly large.
Five days in the Qian Dynasty are equivalent to one day in the White River Boundary, which is why the "people" there are generally long-lived.
Moreover, every year, people from the White River region need to catch a few pieces of meat that meet the standards and cook them to suppress the curse on their bodies.
No matter how much is lost, the Qian Dynasty will give birth to just as many new bodies in the same year, like a perpetual motion machine, but no one can fathom its secrets.
The original immortals who established this world and were sentenced to this place have all died, and none of those sentenced later know anything about the past.
As for whether a piece of meat is qualified, it is to see if its physical strength meets the standard of grade three.
Just like medicinal herbs, being older doesn't necessarily mean they're effective. However, most herbs that reach the third-grade standard are older, and they contain more of the "breath soil" that can suppress curses, which they call spiritual energy.
No wonder they mistook Liu Jun for someone else and tied her up with them.
I dare not say anything else, but with her current physical strength, she has indeed surpassed most of the "people" in the Qian Dynasty.
But she really can't cultivate, and there's no spiritual energy flowing through her body, so why was she brought back?
What exactly are the standards they use for judgment?
Even more outrageous, Liu Jun actually stayed in this palace for a whole year without ever seeing the palace's owner, who was also the lord of this area.
The White River Boundary has evolved over time, and the descendants of the Sinful Immortals here have gradually split into several groups of offspring with different sins. There are a total of five Venerable Lords who each manage one of the five areas above the river boundary.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the five districts are now outwardly harmonious but inwardly at odds. Especially in recent decades, all parties have been eager to become the sole ruler of this White River Realm.
Feng Mo went to the place jointly selected by the five parties to negotiate a solution to the matter because of this incident, and this trip lasted for more than a year.
"Aren't you all cursed and barely able to protect yourselves? Why are you fighting over this useless thing?"
Even if one becomes the sole ruler of this world, can the curse be removed, or can one escape the identity of a sinful immortal?
Humans have flaws, yet they argue about these useless things.
"Yes, our lord has never thought of fighting for this useless thing, but if we don't go, we don't know who will get this region."
"Being cursed is difficult enough. Although we are cultivators, we don't have a lifespan of only a hundred years like ordinary people. We still have to live. I just hope that the days ahead won't be any more difficult."
Where there are people, there will be conflict. If one party becomes dominant, the already difficult days will only become more unbearable. Those in power will relentlessly exploit the lower classes, thus breaking the balance that has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
This place will become a purgatory. Although it wasn't much better before, at least now they are barely living like human beings.
Liu Jun looked into the distance, his expression unreadable: "Then our Lord is quite benevolent."
"That's right. The so-called lord of that southern region is extremely cruel. All resources must be supplied to him for cultivation. The people living there live a miserable life, except for the fact that they are still breathing."
Liu Jun rested his chin on his hand and asked, puzzled, "If that's the case, why not choose to live in another area?"
"Furthermore, to put it bluntly, having fallen to this state, why not just end it all?"
"The crimes committed by the ancestors of people in each region are different, and the descendants of those people are not allowed to leave that region. This is a new rule established by the Immortal Realm 30,000 years ago. If you cross the boundary, you will immediately be cursed to death."
"As for death..."
The slightly plump waitress who was talking to Liu Jun had a glint in her eyes: "Knowing that she is a descendant of the immortals, how can she be willing to die?"
"The people who are still alive here are all gambling, gambling that one day they will be released without charge and return to the immortal realm... that's the immortal realm, after all."
Yes, that's the celestial realm, a place that all cultivators yearn for.
Who wouldn't desire supreme cultivation and a long lifespan?
Even if there's only a one in a billion chance, they're willing to gamble, because they've witnessed even greater power and are unwilling to be mediocre—this is the obsession of all cultivators.
However, reality is always so cruel. In the end, only a very few people are qualified to enter that place, let alone these descendants of sinful immortals.
The White River Realm is a world formed from the relics of ancient gods, and its resources are truly exceptional, yet it is occupied by a group of people.
Those with a cursed body experience cultivation a thousand times, ten thousand times more pain than ordinary cultivators.
Not only the body and mind, but also the soul is constantly suffering from tearing pain.
No one could cultivate to the highest level under such circumstances; if anyone could, it would be those few reigning Venerable Lords.
The waitress looked up at the sky with a somber expression, as if she were recalling something.
“My sister was once an immortal who ascended to the upper realm. Mount Abi was the immortal abode she chose. Our family is very lucky. My parents and I are all cultivators. My sister did not forget us and even took us all to live on Mount Abi.”
"Back then, our family was truly happy, but..."
"Not even a hundred years have passed, but my sister did something outrageous because she loved a god. She was punished and imprisoned, and we were also sentenced to be exiled here, never to leave again."
Little did I know that this waitress had so many stories to tell.
"How long have you been here? And..."
"They're dead... Their parents couldn't bear having to eat human flesh every year, so they committed suicide six hundred years ago."
She spoke calmly, but the sadness in her eyes betrayed her.
Six hundred years ago, it seems that this maid came here around that time.
"Just what outrageous thing did they do to deserve such a heavy sentence?"
The waitress scoffed, "Yes, just how outrageous must they have been to receive such a heavy sentence?"
"That day, my sister ran to our parents with great joy and said that she had met the person who had saved her life, and that he was a god."
“My sister said she really liked that person and was going to repay his kindness, but half a month later, all we received was a judgment.”
The Earth Immortal Jin disturbed the God Lord's peaceful cultivation, acted out of line, and harbored disrespectful thoughts towards the God Lord. As punishment, he was banished to Yanling Mountain to serve ten thousand years of imprisonment, and his relatives were sentenced to be banished to the White River Boundary for eternity.
"It turns out that there are even more rules in the immortal realm."
"My sister was an unparalleled genius in our area, and the only one to attain immortality and ascend to heaven. On that day, the whole world cheered for her..."
"But in that place that everyone yearns for, my sister doesn't even deserve a name. Those who come only call her 'Earth Immortal, Jin Clan'... Ha, isn't that laughable?"
"People go through countless hardships to comprehend the Dao and ascend to immortality, believing that they have finally attained the Great Dao and will have a smooth path ahead. However, the place that calls itself the Immortal Realm is even more pedantic and hierarchical than the mortal world!"
“I don’t even know what my sister did. They just arrogantly said that they had disturbed the God’s meditation. Sister, our family is ruined, ruined just like that…”
The waitress's expression gradually turned pained, and she showed signs of losing control of her emotions.
The sudden turn of events left Liu Jun somewhat bewildered.
It was just a few casual words, why did you suddenly lose control of your emotions? ∑(°Д°ノ)？
In the blink of an eye, someone suddenly appeared before her eyes, grabbed the maid by the head, lifted her up, and threw her to the guards who had arrived late without saying a word.
The entire operation was completed cleanly and efficiently without any delays, to the point that Liu Jun thought he was seeing things.
And the person who suddenly appeared was none other than Feng Mo, whom we hadn't seen for a year. So, he's back from the negotiations?
"My lord, what's wrong with her?"
"What did you tell her?"
"She didn't say anything, just asked her how she got here, and then she started talking about a lot of her past, and that's how it turned out."
