Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1099 - 570: Ladies, Why Are Both of You Wearing Green on Your Heads?
Under Duan Yun's gentle persuasion, for a moment, the snow hut was filled with harmony and the guests were all pleasantly entertained.
These nuns were extremely attentive to Duan Yun and his guests, offering fine tea and melons, serving them on their knees, and sharing everything they knew.
It was from the mouths of these nuns that they got to barely learn about the life of the Immortal Female Immortal, who was the owner of this snow hut.
This Immortal Female Immortal had the name "Immortal," which was not an exaggeration, because she had indeed lived for many, many years.
Her original name was Hong Yu, later changed to "Red Feather." Born with innate divine strength, she initially was a local bandit, leading over a thousand followers in looting and committing all sorts of misdeeds, until an emperor harshly disciplined her and took her as a subordinate.
Afterward, under the emperor's guidance, her talents were fully realized, and she became a female general fighting on battlefields.
Murong asked, puzzled, "Which emperor?"
A nun respectfully replied, "Have you heroes heard of 'The One Emperor of All Time'?"
At this, Murong and the others' expressions changed.
They were indeed aware of this emperor and had even discussed him before.
It could be said that he was the true legend of martial arts, undeniably a dominating presence of that era.
No matter how many geniuses and masters arose later, none reached his heights.
But that emperor was already a very old legend.
If this female King Yan was indeed from that era, how many years had she lived, a thousand?
Ziyu looked serious, taking notes as she said, "Continue."
Afterward, no matter how great an emperor or how the martial arts legend dominated the world, they all faced the greatest foe of their lives.
Time.
Even the most eternal of emperors would eventually grow old and die.
But that emperor was unwilling to accept this; he wanted immortality, to remain ever strong.
And Red Feather, as his capable general, naturally became the one to search for immortality skills for the emperor.
The number of people involved back then was quite large, as the emperor's desire for immortality was longstanding, and he had gathered many secrets about immortality from across the land.
General Red Feather was responsible for just one part of it.
And who knows how many years and how many trials she went through, but eventually Red Feather, weathered and worn, arrived at the Four Girls Mountain.
Nobody knew how she found the mountain behind the Youngest Sister Peak nor how she acquired so many secrets there, but Red Feather finally discovered the secret of "immortality" in her twilight years.
For the emperor, General Red Feather dared not disobey, but when she returned to report the secret, the emperor had just died.
She was anxious and even suspected the emperor had faked his death.
But by the time she grew old, and the emperor still had not revived, she knew that illustrious emperor was truly dead.
So she went to the Four Girls Mountain alone.
Without a master, she pursued this for herself.
If her master couldn't achieve immortality, then she would for herself!
Unexpectedly, she truly unlocked the mystery of the lunar soil, and succeeded!
Afterward, Red Feather, in order to rule the area longer and further study immortality, established the snow hut and comprehended what was called Moon Palace Martial Arts.
Through the nuns' descriptions, Duan Yun felt this cultivation technique was not purely from the Moon Palace.
As described by the nuns, cultivating in the lunar soil could provide "immortality," meaning a powerful capability to slow aging, but strange changes would occur to the person.
Specifically, it made one prone to madness.
That's why the mine shaft was plastered with countless talismans—because Red Feather said there were ghosts inside that needed to be suppressed to avoid possession while cultivating.
But in the eyes of these nuns, their abbess often appeared possessed, muttering delusions like "The mountain is the Moon Palace," "The Moon Palace has a fairy," "I am the Immortal Fairy," "There's a King Yan on the mountain," "I have succeeded," "I am King Yan!" "Since you see King Yan, why not bow!" and such crazed words.
Even more bizarre, she had indeed mastered something akin to the King Yan ghost-riding technique, making the nuns revere her as a deity.
Her close followers were also allowed brief cultivation in the lunar soil, and they all lived unusually long lives.
Longevity to an abnormal extent.
For instance, the nun who seemed like an attractive middle-aged woman in the eyes of Murong brothers was over two hundred years old.
Hearing her age, Murong brothers suddenly felt deflated.
He had always been fond of young maidens, and middle-aged women were his limit, while such an old woman was, in his eyes, no different from a mummy.
After hearing all this, Duan Yun had his own judgment.
The so-called Moon Palace's "King Yan ghost-riding" martial art seemed to be a cultivation technique that Red Feather had fused and created on some basis, because Duan Yun had fought with her and could feel her martial arts were closely related to battlefield killing techniques.
Of course, only she knew about this, because even this two-hundred-year-old "middle-aged woman" did not know many secrets, as each time she cultivated in the lunar soil, it was under Red Feather's direct guidance, leaving her in a muddled state as if experiencing a great dream, awakening much younger.
Duan Yun looked at the group of nuns and said, "What to do with them."
The Murong brothers pondered and said, "Their attitude seems sincere, and since the Heroic Land lacks people, we might as well recruit them for our use."
