To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck-Chapter 1582 - 617: The Covenant of the Oath

Chapter 1582: Chapter 617: The Covenant of the Oath

Meeting old friends naturally brings endless conversations.

Lu Yuan, upon seeing Shi Junyang, couldn’t help but discuss the past. They both sighed endlessly as they spoke of the hardships they endured through reincarnations over the years.

It was not only Lu Yuan who found returning difficult, so did Shi Junyang.

In today’s world, from their past era, it has been nothing less than a million years.

It took so long to return after traversing through reincarnations.

How could it be described as smooth?

Now that they have regained their memories, recalling their reincarnated selves from before leaves their hearts trembling.

During those previous reincarnations, both of them often faced life-threatening dangers, almost destroying their True Spirit multiple times.

It was solely due to their immense fortune, and that their reincarnated selves were not too shabby, that they survived and reached today.

Yet even so, facing reincarnation again, both expressed no regrets in their words.

The Great Tao is just ahead. How could they turn back merely because of temporary peril and difficulties?

To reach where they are today, both had an unwavering determination; no matter how hard the difficulties, they would not retreat a step.

To die on the path of seeking Tao would be a death without regrets — a fortunate life.

On the contrary.

If one recoils due to difficulties and seeks temporary safety, only to meet an unexpected catastrophe or calamity in the future, it would indeed breed discontent in one’s heart.

After expressing their wonder and sighing about the hardships of the past and their return, Lu Yuan eventually asked Shi Junyang about the whereabouts of the other nine Taoist companions from before.

Originally, eleven of them had reincarnated, but now only the two of them had returned, so they were naturally concerned about the nine others.

“The whereabouts of the other nine Taoist companions, I do not know.”

However, faced with the question, Shi Junyang shook his head and sighed helplessly: “After achieving enlightenment, in these tens of thousands of years since I became a Great True Person, I have been searching for the news of the other nine Taoist companions, even going so far as to visit that million-year-old Heavenly Immortal, hoping to hear something from him.

But even that Heavenly Immortal, in his million years, has not come across any of the nine Taoist companions among the dozens of Great True Persons he encountered.

Even a ten thousand years ago, I had not heard any news of the Taoist companions.”

As he said this, Shi Junyang shifted slightly, looking at Lu Yuan, his eyes revealing a bit of relief.

Heaven knows how despairing and lonely he felt before.

Originally, eleven Heavenly Immortals swore an oath to abandon their dignity as Great True Persons, reincarnate themselves, and pursue a deeper Tao.

But the result, after a million years, or even longer.

When Shi Junyang finally returned after overcoming countless dangers, looking back, none of his companions had returned.

He became the sole survivor.

The blow to him was tremendous.

A less than one in ten chance of success.

Reincarnation, indeed, was so difficult.

Needless to say, understanding this truth, Shi Junyang’s thoughts on reincarnation must have wavered for a while.

Eleven people reincarnated, and only he succeeded.

And this success might just be due to luck and fate.

If it were to happen again, there would not be eleven people to gamble the odds with.

And whether he could have such luck again to successfully return from reincarnation was even more uncertain, with a high chance of dying.

In such a situation, anyone would feel fear and hesitation.

But whatever Shi Junyang said, he was one of those who could put aside everything to wholeheartedly pursue the Great Tao.

Thus, after the initial ten or twenty thousand years of wandering and confusion, he quickly reaffirmed and continued on the path he chose.

He set aside leisure and enjoyment, abandoned the sect, retreated into his small world, steadfastly integrating his Dao Fruit, preparing for a second reincarnation.

“At that time, I thought Taoist Lu and the others had all died on the path of reincarnation, and I was the only fortunate survivor.

This method of reincarnation, our grand mission, was left only to me.

Choosing to continue on this path was to inherit our grand mission, with the mindset of having a ten-out-of-ten chance of dying, rather than living miserably in a confined space.

That was truly bleak.

But now, Taoist Lu, you have returned safely, and I realize that my path is not solitary, our grand mission is not lonely.

This path of reincarnation through trials, it is viable.”

Shi Junyang spoke of his mental journey and then said excitedly: “Now that both I and Taoist Lu have succeeded, this proves our path is viable.

As for the other nine Taoist companions, we are currently unable to find their traces or news, in my estimation.

Either they are still on the path of reincarnation and haven’t managed to recall themselves.

Or perhaps some have already succeeded, just so much earlier than us, awakening far before the hundred-thousand-year history of the Donghua Immortal Realm that is currently known.

But time passes and covers everything, so we don’t know about them.

Of course, they might not have reincarnated in the Donghua Continent.”

During the conversation, Shi Junyang pointed upwards: “After all, the Immortal Realm is so vast, with countless Region Continents and even more numerous races within Heaven and Earth.

Those nine Taoist companions might have been born in the Immortal Realm, in some extremely remote Continent or even Sea Areas, or perhaps other small worlds.

Also, their reincarnated selves might not necessarily belong to the Human Race; they could have become some other Monsters or races.

If these scenarios are true, either we haven’t heard news of them, or we have heard, but missed due to different race affiliations.

In any case, since you and I have returned, the other nine Taoist companions also have a chance to return.
