Chapter 480 - 179: Sealing the Heaven and Earth, the Changing Sea and Mulberry Fields for 200 Years, Breaking through 70,000 Longevity! (4k asking for monthly tickets) _3
The Church of All Beings gathered all available resources and distributed them fairly, vowing to stand with the cultivators of the Immortal City until the very end.
News of this caused widespread despair. Why had the city suddenly been sealed off? Once the spiritual energy was exhausted, without many resources at their disposal, would they be able to maintain their cultivation realm?
In such dire circumstances, there were indeed some who chose to take risks. However, the Church of All Beings had learned from past mistakes and wouldn’t repeat them.
In times of crisis, the most effective way to ensure the stability of the city is to rigorously enforce the law and act decisively, showing no hesitation. Otherwise, the Immortal City would be beyond saving.
So, whenever any cultivator decided to stir up trouble, the law enforcement team of the Church immediately intervened.
And with the Divine Ability Transformation Spiritualist Lingkun present, any signs of insurgency among cultivators were swiftly quashed by the Church.
Under these conditions, the city finally returned to a semblance of order after a period of minor unrest.
However, the majority of the city’s cultivators lost all hope in their cultivation, living as though they were simply waiting for death.
Thus, the Red Light District was more bustling than ever. Underneath its surface glamour, the number of brawls and deadly fights increased dramatically.
If it weren’t for the Church of All Beings maintaining the operation of the entire city, the Longevity Immortal City would have turned into a living hell.
Liang Sheng knew that the Church hadn’t given up. They were currently developing a second plan to weather this crisis.
However, Liang Sheng didn’t concern himself with this. Because even if the Church succeeded, who knew how many years it would take?
Under such circumstances, the first decade quietly passed by. The natural spiritual energy of the Longevity Immortal City was completely depleted, no different from the mundane world.
But the Church did uphold its vow of impartiality, distributing resources fairly and maintaining a fragile peace in the city.
Everyone prayed silently in their hearts for the restoration of spiritual energy. But at least due to the Church’s resolute actions in the beginning, basic cultivation could still be maintained.
In the blink of an eye, ninety years passed, time flying as swift as a white horse crossing a crevasse.
The Longevity Immortal City had utterly lost its former vitality. Even though the Church economized as much as possible, with a large population to support, each person’s share of resources was only enough to barely maintain their Qi.
In these ninety years, even if some cultivators had reached the completion stage in their realms, progressing further had become an impossible feat.
Then, two hundred years passed. It has been two hundred years since Kaiyuan Child sealed the Longevity Immortal City with Ling Xiaozi’s assistance.
At this point, the Longevity Immortal City had vastly changed. Many low-level cultivators had exhausted their lifespan and had perished.
In the last fifty years, the Longevity Immortal City had completely run out of cultivation resources. Everyone had resigned to their fate.
There were cultivators who caused disturbances in their despair, but they were promptly executed by the Church. The Church couldn’t afford to show any mercy.
Under such hopeless circumstances, the Longevity Immortal City gradually calmed down. However, the city’s structure increasingly resembled that of the secular world.
During these three hundred years, Liang Sheng never lacked cultivation resources. Despite continuous cultivation, his cultivation level remained at the middle stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm, without any significant breakthroughs.
However, his Lifespan Cultivation Technique made another breakthrough, dramatically boosting his lifespan to seventy thousand years.
His Attribute Panel is as follows—
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 1587
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top-Grade)
Techniques: Primordial Mysterious Technique (4th Layer), Ascending Immortality Scripture (19th Layer), Twenty Life-nurturing Techniques (26th Layer), Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique (Curse), Grand Solar Golden Crow Contemplation Method (Divine Ability).
Realm: Refining Spirit from Qi (Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation)
Lifespan: 71139
Who would have thought that Liang Sheng had spent these three hundred years in complete peace, even more relaxed than before the lockdown?
This was a disaster for ordinary cultivators in the city, but for Liang Sheng, it was a rare opportunity to focus tranquilly on his cultivation.
However, today, Liang Sheng didn’t cultivate, and he wore a solemn expression. He instructed Huang Yifan to stay and guard their residence while he, under the cover of darkness, headed straight for the Zhou Family residence.
Today, an old friend’s lifespan was about to end. Their time was up.
