Capítulo 2205: Chapter 2204: Old Longevity Man, the Vanished Buddha Country
After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, Xu Zii is the most suitable candidate for the next Heaven Challenge.
Xu Zii is quite the habitual offender.
Whether in the past life or this life, he has shown a deep-seated enmity with the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, with Xu Zii’s talent, the Heaven Challenge is also an inevitable matter.
However, no one in the Holy Court expected that the True Martial Great Emperor would rise suddenly after being dormant for hundreds of thousands of years.
Instead, he walked ahead of Xu Zii.
This also led the Holy Court to be unable to focus all their energy on Xu Zii; they still had to guard against the True Martial Great Emperor.
From a certain perspective, the True Martial Great Emperor also attracted not a small amount of firepower away from Xu Zii.
……
Before heading to the True Martial Holy Sect, Xu Zii specifically sought soone to ask about matters concerning the Buddha Country.
If the many Demon Generals didn’t speak wrongly, during the Heaven Challenge of those years, the Buddha Country should have stood on his side.
Unfortunately, no one could bear the consequences of the failure.
Presumably, the Buddha Country is not doing very well now.
Xu Zii inquired all the way, yet no one had even heard of the Buddha Country.
Xu Zii once thought that the Buddha Country might have already gone extinct.
He frowned slightly, wondering where he should go to cleanse the other half of the Divine Soul of the Third-Eye Demon Monarch if the Buddha Country no longer exists.
……
Until one day, Xu Zii arrived at a small village.
This village is nad Longevity Village.
There is an elderly man in the village, who has lived for 360,000 years.
360,000 years is an incredibly daunting number.
Typically, only exceptionally powerful individuals, at least Dao Fruit Powerhouses, could have such a long lifespan.
Yet, this elderly man is but a mortal.
A mortal who has lived for 360,000 years, once caused a great stir throughout the Heaven Extre Realm.
Whether from all kinds of forces or various powerhouses, they have co to Longevity Village to see the elderly man.
They wished to know the secret of this longevity.
So even used the old man’s blood and flesh for research.
However, regardless of how those people tried to observe and study, it was futile.
It can be said that even the ten great families at that ti, along with the later True Martial Holy Sect, sent countless people to co and see.
After all, think about it, why should a mortal live for hundreds of thousands of years?
If one were to grasp this secret, it would an creating a great number of long-lived powerhouses.
Everyone could rest easy without worrying about the pursuit of death.
So, despite all these years without success, people continue to flock to Longevity Village.
Xu Zii learned about this from others.
Soone told him that the elderly man of Longevity Village has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and knows many ancient secrets.
The elderly man is like a living fossil.
Even after all these years, he remains astonishingly lucid, showing no signs of impending death.
No one knows how much longer he will live.
……
Xu Zii ca to Longevity Village with a mindset of trying anything in desperation, just as soone would treat a dying horse as if it could still be saved.
If Longevity Village could be described as a village in the past, it has now grown to the scale of a town.
Because so many people co here.
With people ca economic developnt.
Many even relocated here, believing that living in Longevity Village, closer to the elderly man, would allow them to profit from his good fortune.
Thus, the village grew larger.
Xu Zii arrived in the afternoon.

At the front of Longevity Village, there is a huge Longevity Tree.
This tree has lived for a thousand years; though it is not a Spirit Tree, it survived a thousand years in the guise of an ordinary tree, earning the title of the world’s longest-lived ordinary tree.
Despite the growing scale of the village, Longevity Village retains its na rather than transitioning into a town.
At the entrance of the village stands a black stone monunt, standing quietly with nurous cracks seemingly narrating its history.
This monunt was erected by the elderly man, and even the carved characters were ticulously etched with his own hand.
The monunt has a history of a thousand years.
As Xu Zii walked into Longevity Village, he saw rows of vendors and shops lining both sides of the road.
It felt as if a backward area had developed slowly and then suddenly attracted tens of thousands of tourists due to tourism.
Thus, the entire village beca prosperous.
Xu Zii walked down the street without rushing to see the elderly man, instead savoring the current state of Longevity Village.
Suddenly, he heard crying.
“Dad, Dad, what’s wrong?”
“Dad, don’t scare !”
He saw several middle-aged n and won surrounding an old man.
The old man’s aura was waning, and he was on the verge of death.
No one, it seems, can save him now.
The crying people around him were likely his sons and daughters.
The old man had felt unwell last night, and his children brought him to visit the Longevity Elder this morning.
But unexpectedly, the old man beca critically ill midway.
He seed to recognize he was nearing the end.
In a weak voice, the old man said, “After I die, do not grieve.”
“Everyone must face death; those like Senior Jiang, who have lived long, are likely without equal in this world.”
“Dad, can’t Senior Jiang save you?” his eldest son asked hurriedly.
This Senior Jiang is the elderly man in Longevity Village who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
As for the dying old man, he moved to Longevity Village ten years ago.
Back then, he had already reached his life limit.
He ca to the village hoping to extend his life.
The bad news was that the so-called Longevity Elder couldn’t truly extend life.
The good news was that the Longevity Elder possessed remarkable dical skills, forcibly extending his life until now.
Seeing the old man’s death, the passersby seed to see a reflection.
A mirror image identical to themselves.
At least 80% of people here ca seeking life extension.
Despite never achieving it, they persist relentlessly.
After all, facing death, everything else seems fragile.
……
Xu Zii knew he could heal the old man.
But often, he was disinclined to interfere in mundane matters.
He followed the village road ahead.
Reaching the end, he arrived at the ho of the Longevity Elder.
At this mont, a dispute seed to be unfolding within the house.
“Old man, quickly reveal your secret to longevity, or we’ll kill your entire family.”
“Exactly, speak up quickly; my elder brother won’t hesitate to kill, and when he goes berserk, even he fears himself.”
Xu Zii stood before the wall of the Longevity Elder’s ho.
The wall was already in disrepair.
Most of the mud wall had collapsed.
Through the half-collapsed wall, he could see almost everything inside.
It was the first ti Xu Zii t the Longevity Elder.
