Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled! 351 Chapter 344: Secret To Immortality!

"Utmost Being?" the patriarchs turned to look at each other with confused look. They had never heard of such a person before.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Shen was visibly riled upon hearing the name. "Utmost Being? What gal to call oneself as such! Who is this person? Why is he qualified to be talking to the rest of us when we only answer to you Your Excellency?" he complained.

Not to mention him, we rarely talked with even the Emperor!

"He..." Duan Li once again scratched his head before he continued on, "I guess you can call him as the... acting Imperial Overseer!"

"Ah?" the patriarchs felt their knee to collapse.

Acting Imperial Overseer?

Brother, do you think that the position of an Imperial Overseer was something that can be pa.s.sed onto someone else like that?

This is the kind of position that could practically decide on where it should rain in the Jiu Empire we are talking about here!

Even the Jiu Emperor would have no choice but to act upon the order coming from an Imperial Overseer...

Yet, you asked someone to do it for you?

Seeing their aghast expression, Duan Li realized that they might be misunderstanding something, so he swiftly explained, "Oh, by the way, he is a clone of mine. So there is no need to worry about any mishaps at all!"

Hearing this, their countenance finally relaxed.

So that's the case!

"But still, Your Excellency, why do we need to counsel the matters of the Jiu Empire with your clone?" the Jiu Patriarch asked as he found this to be weird.

After all, a clone was still but a clone, and they have limited intelligence and approach on how they should react to a certain matter. Without the input from the original, a clone would not even know what to do!

Could it be that you instruct it to study politics and warfare? How long would we have to wait until it became intelligent then? A few decades?

Just because we are retired people and have a lot of time in our hands does not mean that we want to wait that long!

Duan Li chuckled before he answered, "This clone of mine is a little special... I managed to obtain him in the second region inside the Eternal Maze!"

"What? You... entered the Eternal Maze? How are you even still alive and managed to come out?!" the patriarchs were shocked to their core. They were no stranger to that mysterious place, and back during their time, they even sent a few experts of their clan there themselves, but none returned alive!

"Hmm? Oh yes... " Duan Li recalled on how these patriarchs had cut their ties with the outside world and remained isolated inside this cave for a long time.

Thus, he began to tell them his adventure and stories inside the Eternal Maze!

Like children who were absorbed in the story-telling of their forefathers, the patriarchs sat quietly in circle around Duan Li. There were even times when they clenched their fists tight in agitation as the stories went through their climaxes and gritted their teethes when the story turned arduous!

"To think that only people of the lower cultivation realm could enter..." the patriarchs were ashamed that they hadn't thought of this solution themselves back then. If the difficulty progresses as one's cultivation realm was higher, that would've meant that they had sent all those experts into their graves by then.

Duan Li knew what they were worrying about when he saw their downcasted expression like that, so after thinking about it for a moment, he decided to tell them.

"There might still be chances that they are alive!" he said and explained the situation as well as the precondition to ascend to immortality!

Again, the patriarchs were absorbed once more as they listened, and their eyes glistened upon knowing the secret to enter the realms of immortal!

"I see... so you mean that they had probably entered the Fifth region and the time dilation there might be different than ours... that makes sense!"

The patriarchs nodded and felt their entire body relaxed as the truth now dawned upon them. Now, the guilt that had taken them for so long disappeared as they had their utmost confidence that the people they sent in would be able to clear any sorts of challenges or obstacles to ascend into immortality, thus continuing their clan's legacy there!

"Your Excellency, do you think that it will be fine for us to enter the Eternal Maze as well?" Patriarch w.a.n.g asked, his eyes was filled with expectations, and the same could be said about the rest of them.

They had long felt that their cultivation realm had reached the ceiling and they can't advance it no matter what methods they tried in the past, so they a.s.sumed that they had reached the ends of their cultivation path. But now that Duan Li had told them this, they could not help but be tempted to try!

After all, there exists no cultivators that would not strive for the higher realm given the chance right in front of their eyes and this was especially the case for them! They were already very old and they could feel that they probably had a few years left before they enter their eternal rest, thus this opportunity was like a lifeline for them!

"Hmm..." Duan Li pondered for a moment before answering, "When I fought with you all, I can feel that everyone is stronger than the usual Nascent Soul realm experts so you guys should be fine, but... I would advise not to do so yet.."

Duan Li then told them that he was developing methods for others to cultivate their second dantian. If they wait until then, they would have higher chances of clearing the Fifth region to enter immortality!

"T-The second dantian you said? Wait... could it be that the reason you are abnormally strong like this were attributed to..." Patriarch Fei and Shi looked at Duan Li as though they were seeing ghost.

"En! I cultivate all three of my dantian!" Duan Li replied with a nonchalant expression

Putong!

Not two, but all three?!

Screw that, no wonder we couldn't beat you!

How could we beat someone who don't even die for cultivating the dantian inside their head?
