160: Searching for immortality for my family

The mystery of longevity?

Yu Xiu's expression solidified, as if a heavy hammer had struck his mind, stirring up a storm.

The word 'longevity' was something Yu Xiu had never dared to aspire to before, never even thought about.

Yet now, it was suddenly brought to the forefront by the President of Huaxia University.

Was he moved?

Was he shocked?

Was he doubtful?

He felt all these emotions.

However, Yu Xiu ultimately calmed his mind, not allowing himself to overthink.

Longevity might not be real.

He would address future matters in the future.

"You have no thoughts on longevity?"

At first, the President of Huaxia University saw Yu Xiu's dazed expression and inwardly thought himself clever, but after the daze, Yu Xiu's expression returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Thus, the President of Huaxia University couldn't help but ask again.

"Shen, you have so many tricks up your sleeve."

Yu Xiu smiled faintly, his deep eyes, with Phoenix eyes and silkworm-like lower eyelids, looked up at the President of Huaxia University, "You are merely a Nine-Star Martial Venerable. The talk of longevity is just hearsay to you. Should I have thoughts about such an ethereal matter?"

"If there truly is such a thing as longevity, then you might as well list a few individuals; at the very least, you need to convince me."

"Shen, what do you think?"

The President of Huaxia University was momentarily speechless.

The No Mans Land holds the mystery of longevity; he had indeed not lied to Yu Xiu. It was merely something he had heard mentioned by some high-ranking individuals in the No Mans Land during a casual conversation.

He had always been half-believing, half-doubting, as the talk of longevity was too elusive.

Now Yu Xiu was asking him to provide examples.

It was indeed difficult.

How could hearsay convince anyone?

The reason he brought it up earlier was simply to hope that Yu Xiu would go to the No Mans Land.

In his opinion, with such Talent, if Yu Xiu merely stayed in one corner, remaining in China, it would be too much of a waste.

Of course, he also had his own selfish motives, hoping that after Yu Xiu went to the No Mans Land, he could look after the past graduates of Huaxia University.

"I cannot list any."

The President of Huaxia University shook his head slightly, looked up, and his originally somewhat cloudy eyes were now surprisingly clear.

"I just hope you can go out and not be bound by worldly affairs."

"With your Talent, there is great hope for that distant Martial God realm."

"Perhaps for others, it is an insurmountable peak to climb, but for you, it might just be a long journey of thirty thousand miles."

"Your future!"

"My expectation!"

At this point, the President of Huaxia University's breathing became slightly hurried, and he stared intently at Yu Xiu, his eyes full of hope.

Yu Xiu was silent.

A long journey of thirty thousand miles?

The so-called Martial God realm, due to the existence of the System, was within his easy reach.

Whether it was China!

Or the No Mans Land!

Ultimately, it had no impact on Yu Xiu.

Others went to the No Mans Land merely to seek richer resources and Opportunity.

But for Yu Xiu, the No Mans Land was, at most, just another leg of his life's journey.

"I will address future matters in the future."

"Perhaps in the near future, I will go and experience the mysterious No Mans Land, or perhaps I will remain in a corner, residing in China for a long time."

"I cannot guarantee, nor can I promise."

Yu Xiu suddenly looked up and smiled, "Of course, there's another possibility: I will seek that eternal longevity for my parents and relatives."

The President of Huaxia University was in a great mood at this moment and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"If my prayers were blessed with Divine Power, I would truly spend the next few decades praying for longevity to exist in the No Mans Land."

"May your words be auspicious!"

Yu Xiu smiled as well.

At this moment, there was a tacit understanding... Approximately two hours later.

Yu Xiu and the others entered the Wu Mountain territory.

There were more and more travelers on the road, and the closer they got to the depths of Wu Mountain, the more people gathered everywhere, setting up trading spots on the spot. At a glance, the number of vendors was like a swarm of fish crossing a river.

For the Ruin assessment, all forces from China would be present, including people from the Secret Realm City, who would also come to participate and compete for this Opportunity.

The more people came!

It also meant numerous dangers.

"That's the Huaxia University team."

As the bus arrived, everyone present stopped and looked over.

The Huaxia University team attracted attention solely because of Yu Xiu's name.

Recently, due to the performance of the Qilin Battle Team members in the freshman exchange competition, Yu Xiu's name was even more prominent than before.

"This Ruin assessment might see the legendary Divine Beast Talent appear."

"Are you referring to Yu Xiu?"

"Who else could it be but Yu Xiu? The youngest Martial King expert in China, the only anomaly in three hundred years of martial Dao history."

"I have a different opinion."

"Everyone knows that the Ruin assessment places the most emphasis on Luck. I heard that only those who possess the assessment jade pendant have the possibility of acquiring Divine Beast Talent."

"Have you ever heard that Yu Xiu possesses an assessment jade pendant? It's even debatable whether Yu Xiu knows about the assessment jade pendant."

"With Yu Xiu's strength, even if he doesn't have an assessment jade pendant, wouldn't he just seize one?"

"You are truly ignorant. Everyone knows the importance of the assessment jade pendant. Who would easily reveal it until the last moment?"

"If it were you, would you reveal it early? Do you really think everyone is a fool?"

While the crowd was discussing, Yu Xiu and the President of Huaxia University had already gotten off the bus.

At the same time.

As the various Families from the Capital behind them got off the car and stood behind Yu Xiu, the scene immediately erupted in an uproar.

"Traitors!"

Another group of Capital Families nearby, seeing this scene, cursed angrily with cold faces.

These people had clearly already learned about the matter of them selling off all their Family assets to pledge allegiance to Yu Xiu.

"Watch your words!"

"Before the Secret Realm City arrives, do not stir up trouble."

"Once you provoke Yu Xiu, it will only implicate all of us present."

As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders of the various Capital Families present reined in their emotions and simultaneously retreated a distance, clearly unwilling to attract Yu Xiu's attention.

However.

The surrounding crowd was shocked to see this scene.

Who didn't know that Yu Xiu had suppressed the major wealthy Families of the Capital multiple times, accumulating deep enmity?

Now, seeing the stance of these wealthy Capital Families, which clearly indicated submission, it inevitably made those unaware wonder.

"What's going on? Have these wealthy Capital Families submitted to Yu Xiu?"

"Didn't they have a feud? How could such a situation arise?"

"I know a bit about this. I heard that the wealthy Capital Families split."

"This group of wealthy Capital Families offered all their Family assets and pledged allegiance to Yu Xiu."

"Offered all their Family assets?"

"My goodness, the wealthy Capital Families are incredibly rich. If so many wealthy Families offered all their Family assets, wouldn't Yu Xiu become as rich as a nation overnight?"

"Indeed, this is the benefit that strength brings."

"Nonsense, these wealthy Capital Families pledged allegiance to Yu Xiu not just because of his strength, but more because they are optimistic about Yu Xiu's future potential."

"You must know that Yu Xiu is only seventeen years old and is already a Martial King expert. So, what strength will he have at twenty-seven, thirty-seven? Perhaps Martial Saint, or even Martial God, are all possible."

"As long as one isn't a fool, they can understand that Yu Xiu's future potential is limitless."
