Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 607 - 219: "I wonder if you’re as strong as I am?

Their ancestor had achieved Void Refining Cultivation.

For Void Refining Experts, it wasn't unusual to spend decades, even nearly a hundred years, in secluded cultivation—especially on the Xuantian Continent, where hardly any opportunities existed for such experts.

If a Void Refining Expert wanted to improve their cultivation without the aid of heavenly and earthly opportunities, they had no choice but to engage in intense solitary cultivation.

There were no other methods or ways.

But in the absence of heavenly and earthly fortune, to rely solely on one's own arduous practice to progress in cultivation, one can only imagine the difficulty.

...

"Yes,"

the Void Refining elder of Xuantian Sect stroked his beard with a somewhat smug expression upon hearing this, "Before coming here, I had already inquired and fully understood everything."

"So, I have two requirements for my position."

"The first requirement is that it has to be interesting, not dull or monotonous, to ensure I maintain a very high enthusiasm for work throughout these long years of employment."

"The second requirement is... to have as little work as possible."

"Through a lifetime of cultivation, to find in the end that the Path of Seeking Immortality is but an illusion, a mirage," he said with a complex and somewhat wistful expression, "The lifespan of a being in the Void Refining Stage is a full 5,000 years, which should logically be enough to explore this world."

"However, if we wish to live even longer, we must spend those 5,000 years desperately cultivating, trying to break through to a higher realm before our lifespan runs out to extend it."

"After breaking through the next realm, if we want to extend our lifespan again, we must cultivate fiercely once more with a lot of time."

"Day after day."

"Year after year."

"Until one day, we suddenly realize that the remainder of our life is not enough for us to break through to the next Great Realm. Only then do we awaken to the fact that our path of cultivation has come to an end, and we look at the few decades of life we have left."

"It then dawns on us that we have always been cultivating, always breaking through, always searching for opportunities in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realms, never truly living for ourselves."

"We could traverse hundreds of miles with a single breath, undoubtedly viewed as absolute Immortals in the eyes of mortals."

"Yet, it has been a long time since we have measured land with our feet."

"Ultimately, we find that we're even less efficient in using our lifespan compared to mortals; although our lives are long, most of it is spent in solitary cultivation."

"Path of Seeking Immortality... Path of Seeking Immortality..."

"In the end, we realized it's all but a mirage; what's the end of the Path of Seeking Immortality if beyond Void Refining there is Unification, and what lies beyond that?"

"Unless..."

the Void Refining elder of Xuantian Sect looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Palace with a complex expression, "Unless one can achieve what Chen Qiu has, advancing from Nascent Soul to the peak of Divinity Transformation within a year. Such Heavenly Prides are the ones who are truly meant to walk the path of seeking immortality."

"As for us, it's a different story; since we cannot reach the end anyway, what's the point of continuing?"

"..."

The corners of the Master of Xuantian Sect's mouth twitched slightly, at a loss for words. He felt the elder had an epiphany that was a bit too much—he was talking as if he had given up on everything, as if he no longer had any aspirations and just wanted to squander the rest of his life in idle pursuits.

He didn't know how to react to this.

"Oh, right!"

The Void Refining elder of Xuantian Sect suddenly smiled, "I got a bit off-topic and almost forgot to mention the position I've chosen. The job I'm planning to apply for is called 'Heart Demon Removal Master.'

"The main responsibility of this job is to listen to the client's true thoughts, then affirm them, helping clients remove their inner Heart Demons so they can face themselves correctly."

"Very simple."

"When I came here, I understood everything. This job only requires sitting each day, and I can hear many gossips. All that's necessary is to affirm the clients. Not only is the job interesting, but it also has no difficulty. I plan to sign up for a thousand years first."

"It's almost noon."

"You see, the work location is in the wooden hut across from the inn. After noon, the current 'Heart Demon Removal Master' who has been working for a hundred years there will retire, and then it's my turn to take over his duties."

"Of course, I'm not sure if I can get the job."

"But after all, here is my cultivation. I feel that someone like me in the early stages of Void Refining should be able to get the job quite easily."

One could see it.

There was a hint of anticipation and excitement in the eyes of the Void Refining elder, clearly ready to embrace a new life.

The Master of Xuantian Sect and the elders seated beside him displayed complex expressions and remained silent. They had thought that after meeting with their ancestor on the Vast Continent, they would have some confidence as they traversed this unfamiliar land.

They didn't expect...

Their ancestor was voluntarily checking himself into a retirement home.

They were primarily here to see the elder off on his journey.

...

Meanwhile, in the wooden hut across from the inn, a guest had just pushed the door open, where a wooden sign that read 'Heart Demon Removal Hall' hung over the entrance.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat."

After entering, within the slightly dim and cramped wooden hut, a girl wearing a veil was looking at the older man who had just entered with a stiff smile on her face.

Her name was Ling Yue.

A name that sounded pleasant but was somewhat complex.

However, she had another title widely known by people: the Saintess of the Xuantian Sect on the Xuantian Continent, possessor of the Heavenly Repairing Technique and a hundred billion points of merit, the Xuantian Sect Saintess!
