Actually it is not, for two reasons.

First of all, the living environment was different. Back then, he was constantly facing various dangers and the pressure he faced was many times higher than that of his son.

Pressure and motivation have always been directly related. It was precisely due to various external pressures that he improved very quickly.

Another reason is that although he taught Qin Long the cultivation methods of the "Celestial Star Sutra", he hid the elixir part.

Why?

In the final analysis, it is caused by the different environment.

With all the life and death crises before him, he had no choice but to use those prescriptions to improve himself. Without those prescriptions, he would have been killed long ago.

But although the son received extremely rigorous training and completed one special assessment after another, he was not in a life-or-death situation after all. In this case, giving him a prescription would give him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Instead of doing this, it would be better to use the earth veins directly.

Yuan Ling helped him improve.

That is to say, he did not face so many dangers of life and death, and there was no prescription for rapid improvement. He only practiced with the most basic methods. Being able to reach this level of cultivation already shows that Qin Long has extraordinary talent.

Yes, his talent is very good.

According to the increase in talent he currently possesses, once he reaches the Tianwu level, his talent can be classified as level nine, but for Qin Yan, this is far from enough!

He will grow old and he will die.

As his son, Qin Long will eventually have to live alone and even have to shoulder more responsibilities. He must become strong enough!

Therefore, he did not allow anyone to use the earth vein source spirit to help Qin Long improve his cultivation. He did not give him the prescriptions corresponding to the "Heavenly Star Sutra" and forced him to rely solely on mental methods to improve. On the one hand, he hoped that he would encounter some chance coincidence.

Or to understand, on the other hand, it is also to hone his mental perseverance.

But after so many years, he saw his son's performance in other aspects and almost completely inherited his mantle.

However, the so-called opportunity did not appear, but it cannot continue like this?

"What if you can't do it for the rest of your life?" Qin Yan was helpless.

"As I am now, there is no way I can achieve my wish anyway. If I can't do it for the rest of my life, I might as well just go on like this!" Qin Long said in an extremely firm tone.

"Is this your decision?"

"yes!"

"You know, with your talent, if you are promoted to the ninth level of Tianwu, it will be no problem to take over the 'Shadow' in the future. But if you don't need to improve the earth vein source spirit, but continue to practice like this, it is very likely that you will not even reach this point.

, because you will probably not be able to reach the realm of Tianwu through cultivation until you die of old age, let alone the ninth level of Tianwu."

"I have never thought that I have to rely on the conditions created by my parents to gain power. Everything my father has now was obtained from scratch, and I will do the same!"

"This is your own decision, don't regret it."

Saying this, Qin Yan was actually very happy at this moment. Then he changed his mind: "With your character, it's impossible that you ran back just to be lazy? Didn't you say something was wrong before?"

He really couldn't figure out what could happen to his son, because he didn't allow his son to get involved in any political affairs at all. Even if there was any news, his son didn't know about it. He couldn't know better than his son: in the past few years, his son had completed his studies in the "Shadow"

He had left a lot of training and assessments at the base to those state elders, and asked those state elders who had nothing to do all day long to serve this boy with the strictest means.

"Grandpa Hande is dying..." Qin Long looked sad.

"You didn't tell me earlier!"

Qin Yan's expression changed drastically, and without even saying hello, his figure faded and disappeared from the spot, along with Peony.

Hande.

An emperor who once served in the Tianquan Empire was three emperors before Mudan. When he was in the Axis of the Universe, he fought side by side with Qin Yan, and more than once.

Of course, Qin Yan knew that what Qin Long said was impossible, and it did not mean that he was killed. Now that the world is peaceful, the elders of the country rarely take action, so there is no such thing as being killed.

The problem is...

As a warrior's strength continues to improve, his lifespan will continue to increase. After reaching the ninth level of Tianwu, he may even have a lifespan of more than two million years.

A new question arises: Why do warriors die?

Because of aging body functions?

Not to mention the technology that is as powerful as the Tianquan Empire, as long as it has reached the third level of civilization, it has the technology to maintain the vitality of cells.

From the perspective of body function alone, the technology of Level 3 civilization can achieve immortality and keep the body young forever.

But why do many top warriors appear to be aging?

In fact, the problem of aging of body functions does not exist. What really causes the death of top warriors is not the aging of body functions, but the decay of the soul!

As time goes by, with the help of top technology, it is possible to keep the body in its most youthful state forever, but it cannot prevent the decay of the soul.

On the contrary, the reason why a warrior's lifespan continues to increase as his cultivation level increases is actually because his soul, that is, his spiritual mind, continues to become stronger: the ultimate realm of a warrior is the ninth level of Tianwu. At this level, his cultivation level cannot be improved.

As time passes, the soul will eventually be destroyed.

"Qin Yan, are you here?" Hande looked at Qin Yan with a smile.

Warriors are warriors after all, and they will not be like ordinary people who have mental decline before death, or even cannot get out of bed. Top warriors can maintain their full mental state until the moment of death, and they can sense the destruction of their souls in advance and sense the end of their lifespan.

call.

"Here we come." Qin Yan's expression was very sad.

"Haha... there is no need to cry and look sad."

Hande looked relaxed and unconcerned and said with a smile: "I have lived for more than 2.3 million years. How long is this? Most people in this world do not have such a long lifespan, even the masters of the ninth level of Tianwu.

Many people died in battle before their lifespan was over, but to live for more than two million years and die at a healthy age is much luckier than most people."

"How much longer?" Qin Yan asked.

"About ten minutes."

"only……"

"Okay."

Glancing at the gloomy expressions of the country elders surrounding him, Hande smiled and said, "Old fellows, everyone knows that this day will come sooner or later. Our whole life is worth it, being able to watch the empire step by step.

Strengthen...and Qin Yan, our Tianquan clan owes you so much..."

"senior……"

"We don't have much time left. Stop saying these sensational words. Come on! Let's have a drink and treat it as farewell!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, several bottles of wine and cups flew over from the wine rack not far away from the side of the hall. They were automatically filled under the control of Zhenyuan. Cups filled with amber wine flew to everyone.

before.

Qin Yan reached out and took the cup, but his mood was extremely sad.

Is he strong enough?

Yes!

After these years of development, there is an empire of Tianquan in the open, a detached relationship with Jinghong secretly, and a ‘shadow’ unknown to outsiders.

It can be said that the current Tianquan Empire is much stronger than before he joined, and he is not afraid of any enemies at all.

In the past, there would be casualties due to war, but with enough strength, this kind of thing is impossible to happen!

But……

He has enough ability to protect everyone around him from being harmed by others, but he has no way to resist the death caused by time.

The time when I fought side by side with this former emperor more than once in the Axis of the Universe came to mind.

What can he do?

Nothing can be done!

Facing the decay of his soul caused by the passage of time, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as the elder he had fought side by side left.

"Cheers!" Hand smiled happily and contentedly.

"Senior...you...really have no regrets?" Qin Yan asked.

"..."

The smile on Hand's face was obviously stagnant, revealing a helpless and unwilling smile: "Some things, knowing that human power cannot be restored, what can I regret? Who is willing to die if you can live? This is unchangeable, everyone

You have to face this, right?"

Does everyone have to face this?

Qin Yan felt sad.

die.

Isn't he afraid of death?

But what really scares him is that what happened today will keep happening, and everyone older than him will leave before him.
