Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 418:

Qing State, the hidden home of four big families.

Yang Luo agreed to confront Shenmu Ancestor in a fight to determine the winner and loser, risking their lives. There is only one chance.

Shenmu Ancestor took back the remaining doppelgangers, merging them into the main body. The large main body kept shrinking until it turned into a tree only a few meters tall, but with arms and legs.

"Wood God Fire"

Shenmu Ancestor let out a low roar, and a small flame burst out from Shenmu Ancestor, quickly igniting itself. Then dozens of small flames flew towards Yang Luo.

"Bang"

Yang Luo casually used Five Elements Divine Thunder, but the flames were not affected at all. They continued heading towards Yang Luo, who dodged them.

The small flames seemed to be tracking Yang Luo’s steps, slowly chasing after her. More and more flames appeared, covering the entire sky.

"Retreat"

Lin Batian shouted, and everyone quickly gathered together, backed into the corner, and worked together to activate the protective shield. Of course, Shenmu Ancestor could control these flames and would not harm the innocent.

Yang Luo also raised a shield to resist. She had tried many methods against the Wood God Fire, but it kept dispersing and regrouping.

Yang Luo decided not to run anymore, but concentrated on using the shield to resist. It was a battle of endurance.

"Boom"

Seeing Yang Luo not running, Shenmu Ancestor turned his whole body into a huge flame, pressing against Yang Luo’s shield. The shield crackled, and both of their powers were rapidly depleting.

"Shenmu Ancestor, with just one word from the Green Emperor, you would die. Is it really worth it?"

"It is worth it. There are some things you will never understand."

Shenmu Ancestor calmly said, he and the Green Emperor had an immensely deep friendship. In that era, the relationship between the human race and the demon race was very bad. He was located in Qing State and unable to move. If not for the protection of the Green Emperor, he would have died long ago.

Shenmu Ancestor had also helped the Green Emperor many times. During the Green Emperor’s growth, he suffered many serious injuries, all of which Shenmu Ancestor saved at the cost of his own energy.

The feelings between them couldn’t be described simply as friendship anymore.

If Shenmu Ancestor is in trouble, Green Emperor will risk his life to save him. Shenmu Ancestor firmly believes this, so if Green Emperor says he will fight to the death, Shenmu Ancestor will sacrifice himself without hesitation.

"Green Emperor, what’s going on?"

Lin Batian regained some strength and approached Green Emperor.

"You are the child of the fourth elder."

Green Emperor looked at Lin Batian and remembered his disciple.

"Yes, it is your fourth disciple, Ancestral Family."

"You really look alike."

Green Emperor sighed. Lin Batian and his disciple looked very alike, not only in appearance but also in spirit.

"Green Emperor, what’s going on here?"

"He is me, I am him. I am the good thoughts of the original self, while he is the bad thoughts. When I advanced in Tao Achieving back then, I took shortcuts and didn’t completely solve the heart issues, leading to the growth of Heart Demons in old age, giving rise to many distracting thoughts. Sometimes the original self was controlled by the bad thoughts, causing many wrongdoings. That’s why the original self separated the good and bad thoughts, sealing them here."

Green Emperor explained. Although the bad and good thoughts have been separated, the original self is still being influenced. By secretly affecting the four great disciples, he created mysteries here and even impacted Shenmu Ancestor.

"Ah."

Lin Batian found it hard to understand, as he had recently advanced in Tao Achieving and was not familiar with some of its secret techniques.

"Elder Fourth, do you think wanting to become immortal is wrong or evil?"

At this moment, even the bad thoughts of Green Emperor spoke up.

"No, becoming immortal is the ultimate goal for all cultivators."

"That’s right. If not for becoming immortal, why would we cultivate, right?"

"Yes"

"So are you saying it’s wrong for me to enjoy life after battling all my life?"

"No"

Lin Batian felt even more convinced that it’s not wrong to enjoy life. It’s human nature to relax occasionally, even for a disciplined monk.

"Then, how did I become a harbinger of evil thoughts?"

"Well…"

"Lin Batian, don’t let him deceive you. The price of immortality is the destruction of the world, wiping out all living beings."

"What?"

The words of the Fourth Family are not wrong, but the situation is not so simple. Do you know, when the natural order is disrupted, the demon race has made two attempts to restore it. After the demons restore the natural order, they will also bring about the end of the world. Once the natural order is restored by the demon race, it will be influenced by them. At that time, the demon race will thrive, and the human race will return to ancient times, once again becoming slaves of the demon race. At that time, the life and death of the human race will be at the mercy of the demon race. Do you know how tragic that would be?

So since the world is going to end anyway, why not let humans do it? If humans bring about the end, then in the future, the heavens will be on the side of humans. This would benefit future generations, and I should be praised for it."

"·····"

Lin Batian didn’t know what was going on and was completely confused by good and evil thoughts. This was all so confusing to him, Lin Batian’s mind was a mess.

It’s not that Lin Batian was dumb or losing his intelligence, it was a problem of not having enough information and a difference in status. Lin Batian had a blind admiration for the Green Emperor, the difference in status wasn’t just a little, it was like a die-hard fan seeing their idol. Add in the lack of information, and it was enough to make Lin Batian seem foolish.

"This twisted logic, portraying the destruction of the world in such a noble light, is inhumane."

You’re being hypocritical. The killings in the cultivation world have never stopped. Everyone is going to die, so what’s the difference between dying later or earlier? I am even paving a way for humans to survive. Following your ways, humans are just waiting to die. If you don’thing, the monsters will take action, and soon all humans will become slaves of the monsters. Would that be a better outcome?

You know very well the tragic history of the ancient human race. How many humans became prey for the monsters, being eaten at will? How many women were toyed with by high-ranked monsters until their deaths, and also ······

"Stop. The human race today is not the same as it was in the past. It won’t come to that."

"Hehe, you see it’s the human race of today, right? Yes, the human race is powerful now, but what if even the heavens side with the monsters?"

"The demon clan can’t stop us. We, humans, can ruin their plans not just twice, but even three or four times."

"Who will destroy them, the Thunder Emperor or you? Remember, the demons have the upper hand over us. They can break through to the Disaster Crossing Period and succeed in the Tao Achieving without facing consequences. How many saints do you think the humans can produce?"

The Green Emperor continued speaking with malice, saying that the two saintly figures from the demon clan were both Demon Emperors, who are at the eighth rank, equivalent to the human Disaster Crossing Period.

When the Thunder Emperor and Green Emperor killed the Demon Emperor back then, they had achieved a high level of Tao, but they paid a heavy price. Their shortened lifespan showed this. Despite their ability to find the best life-extending treasures, they could only live for around thirteen to fourteen thousand years, far less than a million years.

The Thunder Emperor and Green Emperor are willing to sacrifice themselves for the human race, but are others willing, like Yang Luo?

The good thoughts of the Green Emperor were mentioned without a chance for rebuttal. The truth is always the hardest to argue against, even if it’s unpleasant.

"The good and evil in me are intertwined, but doing good deeds doesn’t always lead to good results. He calls me evil thoughts, but does that mean I am truly evil?"

"I… "

"Think carefully. You should make the choice that feels right to you. Right now, you are the only one here with the ability to fight."

"Green Emperor, I don’t know what to do."

Then let me teach you. Raise your Slaying God Spear, use the final move of the Slaying God Spear technique, gather your energy and spirit, and thrust towards Shenmu Ancestor. Don’t worry, he can’t die, I know him, he has means to survive, even if the Heart of the Ten Thousand Year Wood is gone.

By then, you can join us, just like your ancestors, follow by my side. I will show you eternal life, you will be in this world…

The sinister voice of Green Emperor seemed to have a magical power, echoing in Lin Batian’s ears, making Lin Batian unconsciously raise the Slaying God Spear and aim slowly at the fighting Shenmu Ancestor and Yang Luo.
