To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 420: 219: The Dream of the King_2

Translator: 549690339

From 120 years of life reduced to just three years, almost a forty-to-one ratio, this Taiping Dao Book is truly a life-stealing technique.”

Although Lu Yuan’s life was endless, he was affected by Qi Luck’s backfiring every day and was somewhat aware of the loss of his own lifespan.

When he calculated the loss at this time, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

With the lifespans accelerated forty-fold, even an Inborn Grandmaster couldn’t withstand it.

Previously, Elder Anqiu of Anqiu had consoled Lu Yuan, saying that even if his lifespan was shortened rapidly after cultivating the Taiping Dao Book, as long as he could break through the realm and cultivate in one breath before his life was exhausted, he could add another fifty years to his life, based on the foundation of an Inborn Grandmaster, and live a little longer.

If he continued to break through like this, as long as he could cultivate Five Qi Towards Primordial, it wouldn’t be possible to live as long as the ancient cultivators who lived for 800 years.

But living for two or three hundred years should be no problem.

Originally, Lu Yuan hadn’t cultivated this Book and didn’t have a general understanding of how terrifying the consumption of life was.

Now that he had practiced, he realized how ridiculous Anqiu True Person’s words were.

“With my strength and fate as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, I can only bear it for three years.

If it were someone else or if the breakthrough was late, I’m afraid it would only be a matter of one or two years before they meet their demise.

One or two years, at most three years of time.

Even with a rapid success method like the Taiping Dao Book, it’s still difficult, if not impossible, to condense a single breath and break through the cultivation.

Thus, the Dan Ding Path’s plan has been nothing but a delusion from the beginning.”

Unless they could reduce the backlash of Qi Luck on their lifespan by improving it, or find other ways to resist the backlash.

Otherwise, relying solely on the slow trial and error approach of the Dan Ding Path now would be a long shot, let alone perfecting the Taiping Dao Book.”

At this point, Lu Yuan can basically conclude that the plan of the Dan Ding Path is impossible to achieve.

After all, even during the prosperous times of the Immortal Method, the ancient Three Emperors couldn’t solve the problem.

Now that the Age of Dharma Decline has come, where does an insignificant Dan Ding Path get the confidence and self-assurance to achieve what the ancient Three Emperors couldn’t have achieved?

However, looking at the current situation of the Dan Ding Path, they don’t seem to be aware that they have fallen into a dead-end.

After all, most of the people who were initially chosen for the Dan Ding Path’s experiments were only second-rate in strength, and not even an Inborn Grandmaster was among them.

For those people in the Innate World, with their strength and fate, not to mention their remaining lifespans,

I’m afraid that as soon as they start practicing the Dao Book, they will quickly deteriorate and, in just a few days, become ill enough to be no longer human.

By that time, with their weakened bodies and blurred wills, even taking a breath would be an ordeal.

Where would they have the ability and skills to slowly summarize patterns from the passing of life like Lu Yuan and come up with numerous insights like he did?

And it’s precisely because they don’t get this kind of positive feedback that the Dan Ding Path cannot detect this hidden aspect.

Eventually, they’ve fallen into a cycle of finding a test subject and then having the test subject die of illness in less than a month before looking for the next one.

Maybe it’s only when they find the next Inborn Grandmaster, preferably a younger one, and have that person experiment with their methods, that the Dan Ding Path will finally realize that they’ve chosen a dead-end and cut off their thoughts early on.”

“The Dan Ding Path may also have realized the problem, which is why they found me.

But my secret cannot be exposed.

Even though I have already cultivated the Taiping Dao Book and gained some harvest, I will never tell the Dan Ding Path about any of it, but will hide it as a secret.

As for the Dan Ding Path, it’s a mutual use, not dedication.

Since they haven’t played me yet, they will admit their loss and continue on this dead-end path for a while longer.”

Lu Yuan didn’t have much liking for the Dan Ding Path. Although they had made it clear that the Taiping Dao Book had problems when they first found him,

the extent to which they had revealed the truth was now very questionable.

Not to mention the recent Sky Pillar Offering Ceremony, when Elder Anqiu had hidden his malice from Lu Yuan.

Moreover, having someone constantly urging you to practice a short-lived technique every day, even though there was a deal in place between you, was disgusting enough.

After going through all of these events, it’s natural for him to develop a little distaste for the Dan Ding Path.

At this point, if he could manage to scam them, Lu Yuan certainly wouldn’t mind.

“As for the Taiping Dao Book, such a powerful weapon might be of great use in the future.”

Lu Yuan took out the Taiping Dao Book from his bosom, slowly feeling the texture of its cover, and began to ponder.

He cultivated this technique because he had an endless lifespan and wasn’t afraid.

But other people didn’t have this talent, did they?

“So if I see someone I don’t like in the future, maybe I could trick them into practicing this technique, just like the Dan Ding Path tricked me.

As long as they take the bait, there’s no need to waste effort to eliminate a powerful enemy.

Isn’t this approach much more comfortable than painstakingly killing an enemy?

I just don’t know if others would be as easy to fool as I was.

Maybe I should change the name of the Taiping Dao Book, so I might have a chance to deceive a few with shorter vision.” As Lu Yuan thought this, several plans emerged in his mind, and he gradually had an idea.

However, these things will have to wait for the future.

Right now, the most important thing is to diligently cultivate this technique and strengthen his own strength as much as possible.

Having finally come across such an Immortal Technique that could quickly enhance his own strength and was immune to defects, Lu Yuan naturally cherished it greatly.
