To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another thousand years have passed.

The Taiping world.

"Alas, it took more than a thousand years of time just to achieve a one percent integration of the two Dao Fruits. Indeed, at this stage, even though the Dao Fruits both derive from me, it's not so easy.

To fuse the Talisman Master and Taiping Dao Fruits into one, the path is long and arduous."

At the core of the world, within Mount Meru, Lu Yuan stopped the transfer of his magic power, then looked at the Dao Fruits in front of him which were tightly combined, and already partly integrated into one, and couldn't help but sigh.

A millennium has passed since he began his seclusion.

For a thousand years, day and night, he has been tirelessly consuming his divine soul to slowly blend the divine souls within the two Dao Fruits, and thereby stimulate the integration of the Dao Fruits themselves.

However, despite such endless efforts, the achievements gained in the end are still scant.

It took a thousand years to achieve just one percent integration of the Dao Fruits; by this rate, to wait for the full integration, it would take at least a hundred thousand years.

"That is to say, to digest the fruits of this reincarnation and Dao verification, I need at least a hundred thousand years."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt even more helpless.

A hundred thousand years, even for a Heavenly Immortal, is an extremely long period.

Some Heavenly Immortals with weak foundations and short lifespans may not even live to see a hundred thousand years.

Although he is confident he is not among those with short lifespans, the slow passage of time is uncomfortable.

Progress in cultivation is slow, so when Lu Yuan feels depressed, he somewhat doesn't want to continue his seclusion.

He knows this is because he has not yet adapted to the daily life at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, nor has he fully digested his past life memories and properly placed himself in his new position.

The lifespan of a Heavenly Immortal is far too vast, easily spanning tens of thousands of years.

And in this life, Lu Yuan hasn't even lived for ten thousand years.

Now, to frequently seclude oneself for a thousand, or even several thousand years, relative to his current lifespan, is to spend a significant fraction of his own age in one place in seclusion.

And his current age, in comparison to his previous life as Lu Li before reincarnating, is only about one-tenth as long.

Under the impact of various factors, it's difficult for Lu Yuan to digest the memories of his past life and to adapt to the long lifespan of a Heavenly Immortal.

This is not something that can be forcibly changed by personal will alone.

It can only be endured over time.

Gradually, he has to live longer, long enough for his thoughts to change and fully adapt to this long-lived species' way of life.

Ultimately, he lived his previous life in a rush, trying to complete everything in time, and now, to spend a hundred thousand years on a single task is an uncomfortable transition.

"I wonder how other Heavenly Immortals spend their days after reaching Dao. Daoist Shi and I took the path of reincarnation through calamities, seeking transcendence with that.

Now, in the Immortal Realm, at least a million years have passed since my previous life. I wonder if the Heavenly Immortals today have found any new paths?

And Daoist Shi, he has achieved Dao for tens of thousands of years.

After reincarnation, for so long, has he digested and integrated the Dao Fruit from his return?"

Feeling that there was a problem with his mentality, Lu Yuan didn't force himself to continue. He quickly ended his seclusion and, with a tranquil mind agitated into action, wanted to go out for a walk.

And coincidentally, he had not yet had the chance to visit his neighboring peers, not even Daoist Shi, after his breakthrough.

Since he can't continue his seclusion for now, it's a good time to go out and meet them.

"Moreover, thinking about it, I have stayed within this small world ever since my breakthrough and have never gone out.

Even my Heavenly Immortal celebration has been delayed for several thousand years, which is quite preposterous.

Now that three thousand years have passed, people outside, aside from some Earth Immortals, might hardly remember me anymore."

Even Human Immortals have a lifespan of just three thousand years.

And since Lu Yuan broke through to Heavenly Immortal, he has been secluded in the Taiping world for three thousand years.

In the span of three thousand years, he hasn't stepped out once, and the world outside has changed dramatically.

Inside the Taiping Dao Sect, the ranks of Human Immortals have been replenished.

As for the outside world, the change has been even greater.

For such a long time, the Taiping region has also remained closed. Lu Yuan did not open the formation seal over the Taiping domain just because he had achieved Heavenly Immortal status.

Having secluded himself for so long, he assumes outsiders are likely spreading all kinds of rumors about him, the newly promoted Heavenly Immortal.

However, Lu Yuan has never much cared about these rumors, even before he became a Heavenly Immortal.

Now that he is a Heavenly Immortal, with strength even ranking third in East China, he is even less likely to care about such trivial talk.

After all, no matter how outrageous the rumors are, they cannot change the fact that he has become a Heavenly Immortal.

But while he might not care about outsiders, his own people are a different matter.

"The avatars like Qing Guanzi have also aged and are reaching the lifespan limits of Dao Fruit Immortal Artifacts.

These avatars should be dealt with soon."

Qing Guanzi and other avatars like those of Yi Dancheng were created by Lu Yuan right after his Ascension to the Immortal Realm as Dao Fruit Immortal Artifacts.

Thus, their lifespans are counted from that time.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, it took Lu Yuan three thousand years to breakthrough to the late-stage Earth Immortal and unify the Changqing Domain.

Following that, he spent another three thousand years, broke through the three gates of Heavenly Immortal, and achieved the realm of a Great True Person.

After becoming a Heavenly Immortal, he secluded himself for another three thousand years to stabilize his cultivation.

And so, Lu Yuan has already spent over nine thousand years in the Immortal Realm.

In these nine thousand years, older avatars like Qing Guanzi only have a few hundred years of lifespan left.

Even newer avatars like Huang Xuan and Huang Yun have only about a thousand years of life remaining.
