Chapter: 5260

At the same time, an elderly man dressed in blue robes walked in with confident strides, looking exactly like Meng Changsheng's portrait except that he seemed a few years younger. It was undeniable that this person was indeed Meng Changsheng.

Meng Changsheng stood still for a long time, gazing at his right-hand ancestor's self-portrait, sighing deeply: "The accomplished have left... Pastoral Cloud, if you wait three days for me to become your teacher, I will fulfill our promise. But now that you are gone, I should fulfill my promise to your children and grandchildren, allowing them to observe my words and actions. This is indeed the most extreme disappointment. Therefore, I will not transmit this opportunity."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and lightly touched his own portrait, murmuring: "Today's events have been left in this picture. If your descendants come to curse me or tear up this painting in the future, they will know the original intention. In the future, I will reunite with you at the nine springs, and do not blame me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around carelessly and disappeared into the night.

At that time, all the paintings also came to a stop.

I was submerged in this kind of shock that seemed to transcend time and space for a long time before I regained my composure.

When I regained my composure, I couldn't help but exclaim at Meng Changsheng's incredible ability to leave his intentions on the artwork. I was also deeply moved by the miserable fate of the Jiang family descendants.

There is no doubt that when Meng Changsheng returned to that small village, he must have obtained eternal life.

However, Ye Chen could also be certain that Meng Changsheng's "eternal life" was only a breakthrough of the lifespan limit of over two hundred years, rather than eternal life and death.

He was so certain on one hand because he had mastered the "Nine Heavens Scripture" after which he could argue from an insider's perspective, and in reality, there is no such thing as true eternal life, but only living longer compared to others.

On the other hand, it was also because Meng Changsheng said his final sentence about meeting Jiang family ancestors at the tomb below, which was straightforward: "I'll meet you again at the tomb below in the future, don't blame me for this."

Since the concept of "nine springs" beneath had existed since the Northern Wei dynasty, and at that time, it represented the world after death.

As Meng Changsheng said he would meet Jiang family ancestors at the nine springs below in the future, which meant he knew he would eventually die.

So Ye Chen concluded that when Meng Changsheng was younger, he should have found a way to prolong his life before reaching the age of two hundred, and then returned to find Jiang family ancestors fulfilling their promise, but unfortunately he arrived too late.

However, according to Meng Changsheng's plan, even if Jiang family ancestors had already died, he originally intended to transfer his opportunity to his son.

But Jiang family old ancestor's son, due to the unacceptable remarks in front of the artwork, disappointed Meng Changsheng and missed this good opportunity to live up to two hundred years or longer.

However, Ye Chen couldn't help but be moved by the temperament of Jiang family other descendants, who had been waiting for over a thousand years for Meng Changsheng's appearance.

Among them, anyone with a violent temper would wait neither on the left nor right and tear up Meng Changsheng's artwork in fear, probably also knowing the truth.

At times, it was as if fate was playing a trick on them, and Jiang family members had never expected this outcome, yet they inadvertently discovered it themselves.

Simultaneously, Ye Chen's mind was wondering: "I wonder what method Meng Changsheng has found to break through his lifespan of over 200 years, or how many more years he lived if he is still alive. If he is indeed alive now, wouldn't that be over 1,400 years?"

Thinking about this, Ye Chen shook his head again and resolutely thought: "It's impossible for anyone in this world to live up to 1,400 years. It seems that this elder has already passed away somewhere."

As the screen disappeared, the subtle spiritual energy within the painting also vanished, but when Ye Chen looked at the painting again, he felt a sense of Meng Changsheng's vitality and liveliness as if it was jumping off the paper.

He couldn't help but speculate about Meng Changsheng's life after leaving the mountain village. What kind of tone would his life take?

Although his lifespan had been extended, it seemed that there were no more important people in his life. His wife and children had already passed away, and his only heir had also gone to their ancestors' altar, leaving him alone like a middle-aged person.

Given his obsessed cultivation and pursuit of longevity, maybe after he left the mountain village, he would still choose to return to his own secluded cave to continue his solitary cultivation, unaware of what year or month it was outside. JrNovels.com
