Chapter 347: Confused
Dugu Sheng nodded with certainty and said, "Although I don't know why you think that the Golden Immortal is immortal, the fact is that the Golden Immortal is also limited by his lifespan. Once his lifespan is up, he will immediately turn into ashes. This is certain. Those major forces all know this. Brother Zhang Qian, I am not talking nonsense."

"you sure!"

Zhang Qian still had some doubts.

The Peacock King said: "This is true, my father said the same thing!"

The Peacock King must be a great Golden Immortal, and he is not even in the early stage of Golden Immortal. What he says must be true.

"How could this happen? How is this possible? A Golden Immortal can also die of old age. How... how is this different?"

Zhang Qian's heart was completely confused. This was extremely different from his understanding. In the prehistoric world, the Golden Immortal was an immortal with golden nature, lasting forever, and was half a step away from immortality.

but now……

“Could it be…could it be because the world is different? World Tree! World Tree, come out! I have something to ask you!”

Unable to figure it out, Zhang Qian called out to the World Tree in the Demon's Skull in despair.

"Kid, what's wrong with you? I can sense that you are in a state of confusion!"

The demon's skull vibrated in Zhang Qian's storage bag, and the Tao of the World Tree descended.

"World Tree, let me ask you, can a Golden Immortal also grow old and die? Aren't Golden Immortals immortal in nature and have eternal souls?"

The World Tree hummed and said, "The nature of gold is immortal, and the soul is eternal? Nonsense! Apart from the ancient gods and demons who are immortal, there is no immortal creature! The Golden Immortal has a lifespan of only tens of millions of years. It will die as soon as the lifespan is over. How can the soul be eternal? Even if the Ten Ancient Emperors have entered the Daluo realm, their lifespans cannot be endless. They also have an end to their lifespans. Although those ancient emperors have entered the Daluo realm, they only have a lifespan of 50 million years. The supreme Daluo Golden Immortal has a lifespan of 100 million years, but he is not immortal!"

"This... How could this be? Even the Golden Immortal cannot achieve immortality!"

The World Tree continued, "Yes, except for the ancient gods and demons, no one in the world can live forever. Originally...originally they had hope, but unfortunately...what a pity!"

At this moment, World Tree suddenly hesitated, and his tone revealed endless regret and a hint of resentment.

"Hope? What does that mean?"

After a long while, the World Tree said, "In the ancient times, many immortals emerged and the world was prosperous. Originally, they all had hope, hope of eternal life, but they... they did it! They deserve to perish! Hahahaha, they deserve not to have eternal life!"

World Tree suddenly laughed out loud, and his tone became terrifying.

"If it weren't for the chaos in ancient times, how could I... Ha, this is retribution, retribution from the world!"

After saying this, the World Tree fell silent, and the supreme creation also disappeared.

Zhang Qian was left confused. Through the complaints of the World Tree, Zhang Qian vaguely guessed: "Could it be that... yes, the reason why the Ten Ancient Emperors disappeared was that they were also looking for eternal life. What exactly did the World Tree hide?"

Just when Zhang Qian was in a mess, Peacock King and Dugu Sheng frowned and asked, "Brother Zhang Qian, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Zhang Qian calmed down, suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "It's nothing. I just thought that the Golden Immortal was an immortal being, and I always yearned for it. I didn't expect to know today that even the Golden Immortal will die of old age. It's a bit hard to accept!"

Dugu Sheng's face condensed, "That's nothing. You are a disciple of Jianhu Palace. After all, Xingyun Province where Jianhu Palace is located is a remote place. Immortals and gods don't appear, let alone Golden Immortals. It's normal that the news is blocked. I used to think so too. I thought that Golden Immortals were immortal. Later I learned the truth. But brother Zhang Qian, aren't you thinking too far? That's the Golden Immortal realm, the highest and most supreme. How many of the countless cultivators in the world can achieve Golden Immortal? Anyway, I don't have such a lofty goal."

"Humph, your goal is countless spirit stones, right? I'm different. I've been determined since I was a child to achieve the power of a golden immortal. At the very least, I have to surpass my father's realm!"

The Little Peacock King seemed extremely confident, but he had the capital to do so. The Little Peacock King had an extraordinary bloodline, and he had the great guidance of the Great Peacock King, the Supreme Golden Immortal. Maybe he could really achieve the power of a Golden Immortal in the future.

"Brother Zhang Qian, it is good enough for cultivators like me to be free and at ease. The supreme realm of immortality is too far away. You'd better not think too much about it."

Listening to the consolation from Peacock King, Zhang Qian smiled and said, "It's okay. I just couldn't think straight for a while. Now that I understand the truth, it's okay."

Having said that, Zhang Qian was extremely unwilling in his heart. He had the Golden Immortal realm of his previous life as a foundation. As long as he practiced step by step, he would be able to restore his Golden Immortal cultivation level sooner or later. He originally thought that after he restored his cultivation level, he would gain eternal life and be free and happy. But now he knew that the Golden Immortals in the Xihuang world would also grow old and die. Not to mention the Golden Immortals, even the Ten Ancient Emperors who had entered the Daluo realm had a limited lifespan. How could he be happy?

Dugu Sheng and Peacock King did not think much about it. They had no idea about the secret method of stealing the sky that might exist in the Tomb of Ni. They both knew their own limitations and knew that this kind of terrifying secret method was not something that ordinary people could get their hands on.

Only truly powerful forces like the Nine Heavens and Ten Emperors are qualified to compete for this supreme secret method that even the Golden Immortals are eager to obtain. Even if outsiders succeed, it will be a terrible disaster.

"You two, I heard that this time when the Tomb of Ni was unveiled, not only many geniuses from Zu Shenzhou came, but also geniuses from all the thirty-six states in the world. I wonder if we can meet some interesting people."

Dugu Sheng's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

"What do you want to do?"

The Peacock King asked with some caution.

"Hehe, now we all have the mirage masks in our hands. As long as we put on the masks, no one can recognize us. What a great opportunity to make a fortune. Those geniuses are all extremely wealthy. As long as we can catch one, we will get rich!"

Zhang Qian and Peacock King were slightly stunned, and each thought to himself, as expected of the son of Hanhaizhou overlord Dugu Batian, after getting the mirage mask, the first thing he thought of was to rob those peerless geniuses.

The Peacock King shook his head like a rattle: "If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go. The three of us are only at the Golden Core stage. Who are we going to rob? Those geniuses are not easy to deal with."

What he said was absolutely right. Except for those with terrifying backgrounds like Peacock King and Dugu Sheng, all the other geniuses who were able to come here had profound cultivation and many magical weapons. They were also the prides of various ancient sects and holy lands.

To rob them is simply asking for trouble.

It is not easy for anyone to cross billions of miles to come to the boundless wilderness.

Dugu Sheng chuckled: "What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten your uncle Dugu's abilities? If we can't win, with my magical power of traveling through time and space, can't we just run away?"
