Chapter 372: Nearly Exposed, Master’s Old Acquaintance

It has been almost ten thousand years since a cultivator ascended, so just how many Tribulation Transcendence experts are hiding in this world? Are they all willing to grow old and die?

Qin Xiao suddenly felt he should keep an even lower profile. With so many old monsters living in seclusion, who knew when he might offend one?

Although he had already offended the Eleventh Imperial Prince in the Imperial Capital, with the Thirteenth Imperial Prince to clean up the mess, he was not afraid of being targeted.

Even if he offended some Tribulation Transcendence expert in Qingzhou, President Ling was there to clean up the mess, but there was still no guarantee that he would not be ambushed and killed someday. President Ling was willing to help, but he was not a personal bodyguard, after all.

Tribulation Transcendence seemed to have several levels, too. Things were all right in the Imperial Capital: at least the Thirteenth Imperial Prince had the Heavenly Dynasty behind him. But if Qin Xiao offended someone powerful in Qingzhou, even President Ling might not be able to protect him.

“Senior, since everyone has chosen not to ascend, doesn’t that mean this world has accumulated many Tribulation Transcendence experts? Why do we rarely hear about them?”

Though he roughly understood the situation, Qin Xiao was still very puzzled. If Tribulation Transcendence experts dared not ascend, where were they all?

“Those old fellows are all asleep. Cultivators seek strength, but above all, they seek eternal life. Without cultivation, an ordinary person can barely live past a hundred. Only cultivation can extend their lifespan.”

“But even cultivation can only extend life so far. Ten thousand years is the limit. In the nearly ten thousand years without ascension, some old fellows have spent most of their time asleep to keep their lifespan from running out. That lets them live half as long again. Of course, some do choose to ascend when their time is up, but we never hear from them afterward either.”

Ji Kun discovered that this boy before him truly knew nothing.

Logically speaking, someone capable of subduing the descendants of the Four Sacred Beasts he had left behind should not be weak. Why would someone who reached this level of strength not even know such basic things?

“By the way, boy, how old are you? How long have you been cultivating?”
