Chapter 1617 Great Changes in the World

"You're finally here, kid. Come up and eat the fish. This fish is grilled just right!"

Zhao Mu stretched out his hand to greet Chi Huo.

"Haha, here it comes!"

Chi Huo laughed and came to Zhao Mu in a flash, sitting cross-legged.

Zhao Mu took out two gourds of wine.

The two of them ate meat and drank happily, and no one mentioned anything unhappy.

It wasn't until the whole fish was in his stomach that Chi Huo took the wine gourd and said, "Senior, I'm going to die, probably within the last hundred years."

"Well, I can see it. The five degenerations of heaven and man have appeared in you."

Zhao Mu shook the wine gourd and said, "It seems that you, like Sun Miao, Yun Zhilan and Bai Xiang, have all been affected by the changes in the fate of heaven and earth."

Chi Huo shook his head gently: "Not just us, there is no immortal cultivator in this world who is not affected. Everyone is already in a situation of change that has not happened in hundreds of millions of years, and no one can stay out of it."

"Yes, no one can stay away from this!" Zhao Mu said leisurely, looking at the distant sky.

For twelve thousand years, the Zixu Continent seemed peaceful, but some strange changes also occurred.

What has changed the most is the luck of this world.

One day five thousand years ago, some strange fluctuation of unknown origin suddenly appeared, and spread throughout the entire Zixu Continent in an instant.

Countless powerful men were alarmed at that time.

But just when people wanted to conduct research to see where the strange fluctuations came from, the fluctuations suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.

Since then, the immortal cultivators have gradually discovered that the fate of heaven and earth has undergone unknown changes.

On the one hand, this change is reflected in the fact that the originally long life span of immortal cultivators has suddenly been shortened several times.

So much so that in the past ten thousand years, countless immortal cultivators on the Zixu Continent have died prematurely.

Many people Zhao Mu knew also died in recent years, such as Sun Miao, Yun Zhilan, and Bai Xiang.

But now it was Chi Huo's turn.

People like Chi Huo and Yun Zhilan have already entered the quasi-god realm and have a lifespan of about one hundred thousand years under normal circumstances.

But due to changes in the fate of heaven and earth, their lifespans were all shortened, and they all died after only living for 20,000 to 30,000 years.

This is already the case in the quasi-god realm, and the lifespan of immortal cultivators in other realms will naturally be shortened even shorter.

Even a large number of low-level immortal cultivators have their life span shortened to the same as that of mortals.

It stands to reason that the lifespan of immortal cultivators has been greatly shortened, which should be a sign of the decline of immortality.

But this is not the case, because in addition to shortening life span, changes in the fate of heaven and earth also bring benefits to immortal cultivators.

That is, after the strange fluctuations appeared, people suddenly discovered that the cultivation of immortality has become much easier, and everyone's cultivation speed has accelerated.

With the same qualifications, a realm that could only be achieved after thousands of years of cultivation in the past can now be achieved in as little as three to four hundred years, or as little as one or two hundred years.

Therefore, although a large number of immortal cultivators have died of old age over the years, the number of immortal masters on Zixu Continent has not decreased, but has increased.

This situation seems to indicate that the immortal way is becoming more prosperous, which is very strange.

Zhao Mu had also studied back then, where did that strange fluctuation come from, and why could it cause such strange changes in the luck of heaven and earth?

But unfortunately, like everyone else who has deduced this matter, he failed to deduce the answer he wanted.

Regarding this matter, the way of heaven, destiny, cause and effect, and destiny are all in chaos. The deduction is like seeing flowers in a fog, and nothing can be seen clearly.

But unlike others who were completely at a loss, Zhao Mu had some guesses about this.

He felt that the strange fluctuations back then were probably related to the Holy Prophet Emperor.

After all, the old guy has been planning to prove the gods in the world, so it's not surprising that he would make some big noise.

Of course, this is just Zhao Mu's guess. Whether it is related to the Holy Prophet Emperor is still unknown.

"The same question was asked by Pindao when Sun Miao, Yun Zhilan and Bai Xiang died. Naturally, I will ask you today."

Zhao Mu turned to look at Chi Huo, "When outsiders' lives come to an end, they have only one choice, and that is to reincarnate in the netherworld."

"But the people around Pindao have two choices. If you don't want to enter reincarnation and lose the memory of this life, Pindao can help you convert to Shinto."

"Do you...need it?"

Although he was asking, Zhao Mu's eyes seemed to already know the answer.

Sure enough, Chi Huo shook his head: "I don't think Yun Zhilan and the others chose to convert to Shintoism, right? The younger generation also made the same choice, entering the netherworld to wait for reincarnation in the next life."

Zhao Mu sighed: "Are you so sure that you will have a chance to become an immortal in your next life?"

Chi Huo smiled and replied: "I'm not sure, I just want to have a possibility."

Zhao Mu has been acting as Taoist Wan Yu for these years, and the fact that he has a long life is no longer a secret among his people.

People like Chi Huo, Yun Zhilan and Bai Xiang all knew that Taoist Wan Yu coexisted with Xianghuo Taomu and gained a lifespan that far exceeded those of immortal cultivators.

This means that as long as they choose to convert to Shinto, they can also enjoy a long life.

But even so, when faced with death, these people all chose to enter reincarnation without exception.

It seems that the longevity that everyone envies is no longer important to them.

Zhao Mu knew why this was happening. It was all due to changes in the fate of heaven and earth.

Although the changes in the fate of heaven and earth have greatly shortened the lifespan of immortal cultivators, it has also accelerated their cultivation speed.

In the eyes of many people, this is a great opportunity brewing in the world, and it is a great opportunity that has not happened in hundreds of millions of years.

There is even a rumor on the Zixu Continent that it is a great opportunity brewing in the world, which may be the opportunity to become an immortal.

Because the cultivation of immortality is easy!

Become an immortal!

For most cultivators, this is the most fatal temptation!

Even if the possibility of getting this temptation is slim!

Even if this temptation is poisonous!

But as long as there is a pursuit of immortality, it is impossible to refuse.

That's why people like Chi Huo and others, when facing death, would choose reincarnation without hesitation, and no one would turn to Shinto.

After all, once you convert to Shintoism, you are effectively cutting off the possibility of becoming an immortal.

Entering the underworld to wait for reincarnation means that you can still practice immortality in your next life, and you may be able to compete for the great opportunity brewing in the world and become an immortal.

Even if the chance of becoming an immortal is slim, they still have to give it a try.

Of course, the reason why Chi Huo and the others made this choice was because of Zhao Mu.

After the reincarnation of other immortal cultivators, let alone becoming immortals, the possibility of re-entering the immortal path is very slim.

After all, God knows how long it will take for them to be reincarnated after they die, and where they will be reincarnated?

Maybe after they are reincarnated, their former masters will have died of old age, and there will be no one to guide them to re-cultivate the path of immortality.

But Zhao Mu is different!

In the eyes of Chi Huo and others, Wan Yu Taoist, who coexists with incense and peach trees, has an unimaginable longevity.

They believe that in the endless years, Zhao Mu will definitely be able to find their reincarnations, and then guide them to enter the immortal path again to compete for the possible opportunity to become immortals.

"You guys!"

Zhao Mu shook his head: "The so-called opportunity to become an immortal is just a rumor that is not true or false. Why are you all so persistent?"

"What's more, are you sure that Pindao will definitely find you in the next life?"
