Chapter 518: Chapter 193: Things Remain But People Change, No One Recognizes; After Six Hundred Years, Finally Breaking the Hundred Thousand Lifespan! (End of the month, asking for monthly votes!!!)

The Zhou Family Mansion.

At this time, Shen Wuque was lying on his bed, his body was withered and frail, resembling a nearly-dead log. It was clear that he was not long for this world.

Even if one is a Golden Core Daoist, once the path of cultivation is severed, they cannot escape the inevitable end of life, death, and the cycle of reincarnation.

Jin Quanxiu, who was taking care of Shen Wuque, was helpless when he looked at his disciple who was still in a deep sleep.

From now on, in the Dan Ding Sect and Green Cloud Peak lineage, he would be all alone. His junior brother had died because of him when they were in the Desolate Regions.

The eldest apprentice had accompanied him to the last years of his life, but now it was the turn of the ever-rebellious second disciple to face death.

However, he still had over a thousand years of lifespan left. He wondered if he would continue to live in loneliness.

Caught in a daze, Jin Quanxiu unknowingly fell asleep.

This was naturally Liang Sheng’s doing; otherwise, how could a Nascent Soul Master succumb to unconsciousness without reason?

Seeing the nearly breathless Shen Wuque still asleep, Liang Sheng felt more indescribable than before.

Only eternal life can bring absolute freedom.

He stood by the bedside without moving. Soon, a strong vitality began to surge within Shen Wuque, and before long, Shen Wuque woke up from his deep sleep. “Hmm?”

Shen Wuque, who had awakened, made a sound of surprise. This feeling was something he had not experienced since his lifespan was about to end.

At this moment, his body was brimming with vitality.

This made him feel an illusion that his lifespan had surged, but in reality, he was still aware that his life would end soon.

However, in the next moment, he noticed something unusual in the room and looked up to see Liang Sheng, who had returned to his original appearance.

“Junior brother!?”

Shen Wuque exclaimed in surprise. It was just like years ago when he was still noisy and lively. Shen Wuque hadn’t changed at all in all these years.

In an instant, Liang Sheng seemed to have traveled through time, seeing his second elder brother who used to wreak havoc on Green Cloud Peak.

He seemed to see his second elder brother who used to escape madly into the beast forest on the Back Mountain, chased by the roaring Eldest Senior Brother.

Thinking of this, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on Liang Sheng’s face, and he became absorbed in his beautiful memories.

After a while, he calmed down and looked at Shen Wuque, softly saying, “Second elder brother, long time no see.”

Shen Wuque turned his head and looked around, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face, “Wait, if you’re the ghost of my junior brother, where is the ghost of our eldest brother?”

He still thought he was about to die, so he would see the souls of his departed friends and started looking for his eldest brother Xiang Chen’s figure.

Liang Sheng couldn’t help but feel a little helplessness. Sometimes he couldn’t understand how Shen Wuque’s mind worked, “Second elder brother, I am not dead. I have been alive.”

“What?”

Hearing Liang Sheng’s words, Shen Wuque was first surprised and then ecstatic. However, after speaking two words, he broke into loud laughter.

“That’s great!”

But when he stopped laughing and looked at Jin Quanxiu, who was still sleeping, he immediately realized that Liang Sheng must be hiding something.

After thinking about it, he couldn’t help but ask, “Junior brother, if you have been alive all these years, where have you been?”

No, that’s not right.

Just as he asked this question, a thought suddenly came to Shen Wuque. His junior brother had died in the Desolate Regions, so how could he possibly appear in the Immortal City?

Could it be?

An incredible idea appeared in his mind, and in the next moment, he involuntarily gasped, looking at Liang Sheng with a stunned expression.

That’s because Liang Sheng now looked like the senior sect member who had saved them. He immediately understood what had happened.

So that’s it.

There was no secretly hidden senior sect member. It was just his junior brother who had faked his death and risked his life to save them due to the crisis in the Desolate Regions.

Now he finally understood the doubt he had about why the senior sect member wanted to save the Zhou Family. The answer was now clear to him.

His junior brother and the Zhou Family had always had some connections. Who would have thought that the so-called senior sect member was actually his junior brother?

Liang Sheng didn’t rush to speak. He waited until Shen Wuque had calmed down before he stopped wasting time and went straight to the point.

“Second elder brother, actually, I have a question to ask you. Do you want to barely survive, or do you want to die and dissolve into the Dao?”

Then, he repeated what he had said to Xiang Chen earlier, and also told Shen Wuque about Xiang Chen’s final choice.

When Shen Wuque first heard that he could continue to live as a puppet, he was somewhat tempted. Although he could no longer cultivate, having a lifespan of tens of thousands of years was already tempting.

Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but sigh in relief. He assumed that Shen Wuque would choose to live and appreciate the beautiful world.

However, Shen Wuque looked at Jin Quanxiu, who was still asleep next to him, thought for a moment, then raised his head with a smile on his face, looking completely relaxed.

“Junior brother, let me just go with the wind. After all, the cycle of life, old age, sickness, and death is the Heavenly Dao, and maybe there is another world after death.

I used to think I could meet with my eldest brother and you in the underworld, but it seems that I was thinking too much. Since you are alive, our eldest brother must be alone.”
