Chapter 256: Would you like to have an endless life?
At this time, Cen Chun stood in the sea of flowers, not daring to move. He could feel a tingling pain constantly sucking his blood, and it seemed that something was drilling into his flesh and blood. He felt itchy all over his body, but he didn't dare to scratch it, and he didn't even dare to use his own strength. He finally realized that the young man in front of him could kill him with ease.
"Tell me, how many people in my court were arranged by you?"
Zagreus could sense Cen Yuan's fear, and thought it was time for him to go back for his nap.
Cen Chun was sweating profusely at this time. He had also done some investigation when he came here, and most of the names on the list were memorized in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it. Although the young man in front of him was scary, the Longyuan Dynasty had already planted restrictions in their bodies. Once there was any act of rebellion, the restrictions would be activated.
He could only kneel down in the bushes covered with thorns with his legs weak, "I say, I say..."
Cen Chun named a few names with a painful look on his face, but when Zagreus recalled, he found that these were all the ones who stood aside in the court. He did not mention any of the ones who really had status. It seemed that Cen Chun still felt that he was too easy to bully, so there was no point in keeping him.
"Someone come and dig out his memories and keep his body for me, so it can still be useful!"
Upon hearing this, Cen Chun immediately mobilized all his spiritual power to escape, but suddenly he found that his meridians seemed to be blocked by something, and all his abilities were locked. At this time, a guard whose body was occupied by Pan walked out from behind him. He walked in front of Cen Chun, forcibly stabilized his head, and then a green light emanated from his eyes. Cen Chun suddenly seemed to be stupid, and stupidly said a series of names.
Zagreus silently took note of these people. After he had asked all the questions, Cen Chun slowly came back to his senses. Then, when he remembered that he had just bypassed the ban and told everything, he knew that he was finished.
"what did you do to me!"
Zagreus waved his hand, and the guard let go of Cen Chun and left. Cen Chun also felt that the blockage in his body disappeared, and his spiritual power became active again.
"I didn't do anything, I just helped you remove the restrictions in your body, isn't that great?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Chun immediately checked his body and found that the restriction had indeed disappeared. He looked a little strange, not knowing what Zagros meant, but at least he didn't want to kill him.
"In this case, you know everything that should and should not be said. Can you please let me live? Don't worry, I leaked the secret, and I will not say anything more after I return. If you are willing, I can continue to be your insider. Although my status is not high, I am still a tribute after all. Sparing my life will definitely be useful to you!"
Cen Chun has really given it his all. Now he has no choice but to go down this path. He is also gambling that he can still be useful to the person in front of him.
Seeing that Cen Chun was quite sensible, Zagreus had a new idea. "The life span of a cultivator who has reached the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void is about 300 years. It seems that you don't have much time left. The Longyuan Dynasty should not provide you with too much luck to sustain your life, right?"
It is true. It is a huge irony that the world of immortality cannot make people truly immortal. However, the cultivators in this world can also prolong their lifespan by helping the country's fortune. That is why Cen Chun ran to the Nanzhao Kingdom so happily. He probably wanted to get a share of the country's fortune. As long as the ruler of a country promises, he can get a share of it.
At present, Cen Chun is obviously showing signs of aging. It can be seen that he is not valued by the Longyuan Dynasty and has gained very little national fortune. After practicing to this level, who would want to die easily? However, the priests of the Longyuan Dynasty do not want to die, so people like Cen Chun who are not talented enough have already lived beyond their means.
"I have lived for more than 280 years before I finally achieved the Great Dao. With the luck I have accumulated in the Worship Hall, I still have more than 40 years to live. If Your Highness can grant me enough luck, I am willing to serve you at my utmost!"
Zagrous' eyes turned, this amount of lifespan is not enough for them at all, any contact or scratching will accelerate the consumption of lifespan, so he needs such talents.
"How many people like you are there in your Longyuan Dynasty?"
Cen Chun looked a little strange. The prince in front of him seemed very excited to see that they would not live long. But he thought for a moment and said, "There are thirty-six cultivators in the Longyuan Dynasty who have reached the state of spiritual cultivation and emptiness. Among them, eleven of them, including me, have a life span of less than fifty years. Does Your Highness want to recruit them?"
"Do you think it's feasible?"
Cen Chun's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. "Your Highness, you worry too much. Although the life span given by the Longyuan Dynasty is not much, as long as you are willing to pay a little more, it is enough to maintain your life span. How much life span can Your Highness give us to consume..."
"What if I could give you an infinite life span?"
When Cen Chun heard this, his face became more disappointed. He thought Zagreus was teasing him, but he had to bow his head under someone else's eaves, so he replied honestly:
"Your Highness, you are joking. Throughout history, everyone has been seeking immortality, but immortality is nothing but an illusory legend. Even the gods who are high above have changed several times. Your Highness, please don't tease me with such jokes."
The aura of Zagreus changed, and the aura of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness immediately enveloped him. Cen Chun's face changed: "How is it possible? Which god has fallen?"
"How is it impossible? The death of a god always brings strange phenomena, and that cannot be concealed. But I just happen to be the extra one. You should also know that every god has some special abilities. It just so happens that my ability can keep you alive. As long as you are willing to do something for me, although I can't make you live forever, I can give you a way to avoid death and prolong your life!"
Zagreus' words were like the whispers of the devil, but the conditions he promised made it impossible for Cen Chun to refuse. Cen Chun's mind was in a mess at this time, and he didn't know what he was worried about, but he still made up his mind.
"If it is really as Your Highness said, as long as I can survive, I will agree to any condition!"
"it is good!"
This was what Zagreus was waiting for. He stretched out his hand, and a purple crystal appeared in his palm. The amethyst slowly floated up with a hint of strange fragrance. Cen Chun widened his eyes, looking at the purple gem in front of him in disbelief. It was like a shining star, something that had never appeared in the world of immortality. In particular, the gem exuded an intoxicating energy, and it was this energy that made him unable to take his eyes off it.
