Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 558– The Thousand Year Limit

TL : GoldenLung

Under the night sky, Sea God Lake was as beautiful as ever. The gigantic Eternal Tree was like a lighthouse that emitted a faint green light that illuminated the surface of the lake, giving one a hazy sense of beauty. Looking at it naturally calmed one’s mood.

Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Mengqin, Liu Feng, Tang Yuge, and Yuanen Huihui were standing by Sea God Lake. They also saw a familiar figure in the lake. Wasn’t it Qian Lei, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time?

Qian Lei’s entire body was immersed in Sea God Lake, with only his head exposed. He was closing his eyes and immersed in meditation.

After not seeing him for a period of time, Fatty Qian had indeed lost some weight, but he was clearly sturdier. From a simple fatty, he had become now fat and strong. His skin was bronze in color and emitted a faint metallic luster. Unknowingly, he seemed to be transforming into a young man, and his temperament seemed to have changed quite a bit.

Tang Yue said, “This fatty has been cultivating here for a very long time. His body is simply like a bottomless pit. Although he doesn’t absorb as much life energy as you do every day, he is able to absorb it continuously. It seems that the little ape that Teacher awakened back then is truly an extraordinary ancient mutant!”

Qian Lei was able to cultivate here naturally because of the money he won previously. With so many purple emblems, it was enough to support him for a very long time. In addition, Lan Xuanyu had a good reputation and had a bit of influence on the School of Life. He had gotten a discount for cultivating in Sea God Lake for a long time.

But even so, ever since Qian Lei started cultivating here, he had accumulated over 30 purple emblems of expenses. Lan Xuanyu had never spent so extravagantly before! More importantly, he was unable to absorb life energy here for so long. But Qian Lei had done it, which showed how much the Golden Behemoth needed life energy.

When he paid the bill for Qian Lei, Lan Xuanyu’s heart ached so much that his hands trembled. 30 purple emblems in one go! Although it was Fatty’s own money, his heart ached for him too! He wondered how Fatty would feel after waking up and realizing that he had spent so much money.

“Xuanyu, you brat, tell me the truth. Will you guys be like him during your cultivation this time and not wake up? That would be a huge loss for me! If the Inner Court finds out, even Teacher might not be able to protect you guys.” Tang Yue looked at Lan Xuanyu cautiously. contemporary romance

He had just used the price of one purple emblem per person to allow Lan Xuanyu and the rest to cultivate and absorb their Emperor Fruit at Sea God Lake.

Lan Xuanyu coughed. “Teacher Tang, we’ve known each other for so long, am I the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others?”

“That’s right!” Tang Yue fumed. “When have you ever not taken advantage of time? It’s fine if I turn a blind eye, but are you insulting my intelligence?”

“Teacher, this isn’t good. By the way, what do you think of me joining the School of Life?” Lan Xuanyu suddenly said.

Tang Yue’s eyes lit up. Of course, he knew that Lan Xuanyu was highly regarded by Vice Pavilion Master Wang Tianyu, and even his teacher couldn’t force him into the School of Life. But if he was willing to join, it would be different.

“Why do you want to join our School of Life?” Tang Yue asked seriously.

“Of course... To save money! After I join the School of Life, will I not have to pay for emblems when I come to cultivate in Sea God Lake?” Lan Xuanyu chuckled.

Tang Yue really wanted to give him a slap. This little brat was simply too thick-skinned, unlike an ordinary teenager.

“That’s it?” Tang Yue asked.

“Cough cough, of course not, I was just joking, Teacher Tang. The main reason is that I am very close to life energy and it is also related to me. In terms of research on life energy, the School of Life is the strongest in the entire Federation. This is extremely beneficial for me to understand life energy and understand the characteristics of life in this world. I believe that what I will comprehend will also be useful to our School of Life, don’t you think so?”

Tang Yue looked at him deeply and said in a deep voice, “The academy established the School of Life about 10,000 years ago after the Eternal Sky City was built. As everyone knows, following the growth of the Eternal Tree, the entire Mother Planet experienced a metamorphosis and evolved to a higher level. However, although our seniors have higher levels of strength and can compare to the Gods of the past, they don’t have a God Position. No one knows what exactly is a God Position today. However, without this, it means that one can’t live forever. So, although the lifespan of humans on the Mother Planet has increased, even God-rank experts can only live for about 300 years. The existence of the School of Life is for breaking this limitation through the study of life energy to extend one’s lifespan.”

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, “Especially extending the lifespan of a God-rank powerhouse. After breaking through to God-rank, the entire human body would undergo a transformation, and it could even be said that such a person is no longer an ordinary human. Through continuous research, after 10,000 years of development, under the premise of maintaining a complete human form, we are able to let a God-rank powerhouse live for about 1,000 years. But 1,000 years seemed to have become the limit. We used 200 years to complete this research, but in the subsequent 9,000 years, we were unable to break through the thousand-year limit. Only by using some special methods could we extend our lives further, but that kind of life no longer has much meaning to many people.”

“Teacher is already 985 years old this year and is currently the oldest in the academy with a normal human body. Xuanyu, Teacher said that you have the highest affinity with life energy that he has ever seen. Who knows, you might really be able to lead the School of Life to create a miracle and break through the thousand-year deadline. If you can do it, then you will become the benefactor of all the God-rank powerhouses. You will be supported by all of the God-rank powerhouses in the Federation and even if you were to run for president, there is a high chance of success.”

“I’m telling you all of this so that you can realize the importance of the current situation. To me, everything else isn’t that important. The most important thing is how to let my teacher, Elder Shu, continue to live. Elder Shu has made countless contributions to the academy in his life and even brought the School of Life to greater heights. He can’t die. So if you really want to join the School of Life, then in the next 10 years, please put more of your time into comprehending life energy. If you join us, you will receive the full support of the School of Life, but at the same time, you have the obligation to make sufficient contributions. Now, are you still willing to join us?”

Not only Lan Xuanyu, but his teammates were also stunned. Without a doubt, Tang Yue revealed a big secret today.

A God-rank powerhouse could actually live to 1,000 years? Ordinary humans were only between 100 to 200 years old. The Federation has only announced to the public that a God-rank powerhouse announced by the Federation could live for 300 years. Who would have thought that under the influence of the School of Life, they could actually live to 1,000 years old.

The thousand-year limit, Elder Shu was close to the thousand-year limit.

Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but think of that benevolent old man’s face. He already had a strong sense of intimacy with Elder Shu and he was really good to him, giving him the Life Ruyi the first time they met. If not for it and the black emblem, Lan Xuanyu might not have been able to figure out his current cultivation method.

Lan Xuanyu was silent at Tang Yue’s last question because he knew that if he agreed to join the School of Life, he would have to shoulder a heavy burden. Was this something he could bear?
