They all want to change my future.

Chapter 9 Immortality is Impermissible

If you're talking about spiritual practice, then you should go and practice.

Ji Baizhi naturally wouldn't disturb Li Zhi; she started tidying up by herself.

As for Li Zhi, he went to Ji Baizhi's boudoir, the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Zhaoyang Mansion.

Before Li Zhi could even sit down cross-legged, a mocking voice came from beneath him.

"I really don't know how you dared to say that."

That voice sounds familiar; I just heard it this morning.

In the courtyard, from the mouth of that girl in black with red eyes.

"Miss Lin, you really didn't leave." Li Zhi abandoned his idea of ​​meditating cross-legged and sat down, speaking to the ground: "Also, what makes you say that?"

"You really are a strange person."

Lin Yueyin's voice still came from beneath Li Zhi's feet: "A normal person would at least be startled, and you actually dare to talk to me."

"Because you just want to take me away."

Li Zhi observed the source of the sound and realized it was his own shadow. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's just my shadow."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Utter silence.

Lin Yueyin fell silent, as if what had just happened was all an illusion.

Not speaking is a sign of non-cooperation.

But Li Zhike, who finds it interesting, won't give up like that.

So what should you say to someone who doesn't want to speak?

The method is naturally very simple.

Provoke her.

Make her argue, make her angry, make her... unable to help but speak up.

"You are not a swordsman."

He paused, then added, his tone carrying just the right amount of contempt:

"You are an assassin."

He looked down at his shadow and uttered the final, decisive blow:

"And that's all for Cheng Ying?"

"What did you say?!"

Lin Yueyin's voice rang out again, followed by darkness.

Darkness enveloped the room, even though the sun was shining brightly outside.

But the room was pitch black, so dark it was unsettling, so dark it was terrifying.

It was so black that it seemed as if the whole world had become nothingness.

In the darkness, Li Zhi blinked.

I can't see anything.

Try listening.

I can't hear anything, not even my own breathing.

Try smelling it.

There was no smell at all.

Just as Lin Yueyin was waiting to see Li Zhi's ugly appearance, she watched him wail like the others.

But then I heard him say that.

"So this is what it feels like to be deprived of your five senses and never see the light of day." Li Zhi reached out and groped in the darkness.

I can't touch anything.

There was only emptiness, only nothingness, only a bottomless darkness.

"It's pitch black," he said, his tone filled with admiration.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft "humph" suddenly rang out from the darkness.

The voice was very soft, but in the absolute silence, Li Zhi could still hear the joy in it.

"You're such a strange person."

As Lin Yueyin finished speaking, the darkness vanished and light emerged.

The objects in the room reappeared, as if they had never disappeared.

Only Li Zhi stretched out his hand blankly, looking somewhat infatuated.

Is that feeling, or enjoying?

The sunlight brought warmth, causing Li Zhi to blink and look towards the window.

Lin Yueyin stood there.

She was still dressed in that black outfit, still had that cascading black hair, and still had those fiery red eyes.

However, those crimson eyes contained many things.

"Why did you stop?" Li Zhi withdrew his hand, his tone tinged with regret. "I haven't had enough fun yet."

Lin Yueyin stared at him for a long time before coldly saying, "Chengying isn't for you to play with, and also..."

She paused, her tone somewhat strange: "Are you perhaps an idiot?"

Li Zhi stood up, walked up to Lin Yueyin, and began to carefully observe her.

"You're quite pretty, with thin lips, a full bust, and a captivating figure. You're a beauty."

Lin Yueyin's face instantly darkened, her eyes narrowed, and her crimson pupils turned fierce: "It seems you want to die."

"No, I just wanted to prove I'm not stupid." Li Zhi shrugged. "After attacking each other, we're even now."

You say I'm silly, I say you're beautiful.

Very fair.

Lin Yueyin didn't think it was fair and snorted coldly: "Does Ji Baizhi know what you did? Saying such things to another woman in her room. Just now, when that phoenix heard what you said, the admiration in her eyes was palpable. How could you do this to her?"

She gave a cold laugh, the sarcasm in her voice almost overflowing:

"Heh, you really are a piece of scum."

Li Zhi's expression turned strange. He naturally knew that Lin Yueyin wanted to regain some ground, but what she said was too...

"According to your logic, Miss Lin," Li Zhi shook his head, "then what does it mean that you're having a secret rendezvous with a scumbag like me?"

Lin Yueyin's expression darkened further.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

It's obvious she doesn't argue.

Li Zhi didn't want to make things difficult for the girl, so he considerately changed the subject.

After all, he was still very curious about Lin Yueyin's rebuttal.

"Just how difficult is it to cultivate to the ninth realm?"

"You're trying to trick me into telling you something," Lin Yueyin said, looking at Li Zhi.

"That's right." Li Zhi nodded. "So, we can't say that?"

"I can say it," Lin Yueyin smiled, but the smile was cold. "You absolutely cannot do it."

Why?

Faced with the impossible, Li Zhi felt only pure curiosity, not any despair.

Lin Yueyin, who had overheard this, remained silent for a moment.

Then she spoke, her voice soft, yet each word like a knife:

"Humanity has never had a cultivator at the ninth realm."

She paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Humans cannot live forever."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Lin Yueyin observed Li Zhi, who remained motionless, seemingly still taken aback by her words.

Li Zhi remained motionless, deep in thought.

Reflecting on Ji Baizhi and Lin Yueyin's words, the phoenix clearly stated that it would reach a very high realm in the future.

He also said that he could cultivate to the ninth realm.

But Lin Yueyin said that humans cannot live forever.

So the question is, who should I believe?

Or rather, there is another possibility.

Ji Baizhi is probably trapped in this courtyard and doesn't know the secrets of cultivation; she's wrong.

Lin Yueyin, after her family was destroyed, grew up in a cultivation sect in the south, where she was well-versed in classical texts and had the guidance of teachers, so she naturally knew more than Lin Yueyin.

These words seem to carry more weight when spoken aloud.

Li Zhi thought of a way to prove it in the future.

Ji Baizhi said she would see herself in the future, and Lin Yueyin here is also looking for herself based on the prophecy of the Heavenly Sect.

"Is that so?" Li Zhi asked again, "What does 'not being able to live forever' mean?"

"The literal meaning." Lin Yueyin felt increasingly that something was off about this person.

Many people in the sect learned of this, and most of them lost their resolve to cultivate and gave up on cultivation altogether.

Immortality is impossible; it is a top secret.

Even if it weren't for the fact that he was keeping revenge to himself, his master wouldn't have told him.

Even so, Lin Yueyin was still depressed for a while after learning this secret.

But why are you so unsurprised, so composed, and even a little confident?

What gives you the right?

Based on that prophecy?
