Cultivation: Being I Chapter 773

Year 6670 of the Xia Calendar, Western Shen Continent

At the peak of Juefeng Mountain, Small Shadiao and about ten others stood on snowboards. As Small Shadiao threw a hand grenade, they all rushed down the mountain, with an avalanche of snow behind them.

The group skied passionately down the mountain top, with the avalanche line behind them—extrely thrilling and exciting, making everyone scream with delight.

Hours later, they reached the base of the mountain safely. Small Shadiao retrieved the drone he had released, and everyone gathered to watch the footage.

"Ice Consolidation is done, Xiaona, I leave the video editing to you."

Small Shadiao took out the mory card and handed it to one of the girls.

"No problem, Lin Ge, I promise our account will gain a million followers after this."

"Now we need to move on to the next activity; extre sports are becoming popular too."

Small Shadiao nodded. Since coming to the western part of Shen Continent, Small Shadiao had been living a carefree life.

But this carefree life could beco boring, so he kept trying different identities to live. Eventually, he unknowingly t a group of people who played extre sports.

Life was too plain, so he thought about sothing more exciting. Small Shadiao was no exception; he quickly beca friends with these people and started to play with them.

The idea of extre sports was proposed by spiritual energy recovery. The people who participated were ordinary humans. They claid to honor nature, to honor life, and to seek the aning of life.

However, after spiritual energy recovery, this sport beca less popular because cultivators were too powerful. For example, even if Small Shadiao was buried by an avalanche, he would be just fine.

In recent years, this sport has made a coback because so people are truly tired of a dull life and want to take risks. So, what if they have skills? It’s simple; those who are a little ruthless will waste their skills, while those who are not so ruthless will seal their abilities and play as ordinary people. That’s how they can experience excitent and thrill.

After Small Shadiao tried skydiving once, he fell in love with this thrilling life. He sealed all his skills and enjoyed the feeling of falling from a great height. It was truly exciting and made him very happy.

So, very soon, Small Shadiao beca a star in this sport because he was truly not afraid of death and constantly challenged new difficulties.

·········

"Look, Small Shadiao is popular again; he went skiing."

In Haigang City, Cao Ying pulled up a video for Lin Jiang to watch. It showed Small Shadiao skiing at the top of a mountain, with an exciting voiceover. It looked impressive, getting millions of likes and hundreds of thousands of comnts.

"Did this guy turn himself into an internet celebrity?"

"No, he calls himself an extre sports scholar."

"Scholar? What nonsense! He has the body of a monster and is at level six; can he die from falling?"

Lin Jiang laughed and said, "A six-tiered beast is already very strong. Missiles can’t kill it, and if it falls from ten thousand ters, it probably won’t die. Moreover, it has instincts. Even if it seals its powers, in an ergency, it will instinctively break the seal. No matter how you play, it won’t die."

"Why do you care so much about them? Anyway, they are having fun now."

"Bored."

"I’m bored too. Why don’t we go play? I heard they found the eight most dangerous and exciting extre sports, called the Ozaki Eight. Shall we try them?"

"No way, it’s not interesting. I think it’s a waste of life and resources. My thoughts are becoming more conservative and traditional."

Lin Jiang shook his head. He knew about the Ozaki Eight because he contributed to the theory.

In summary, there are eight extre sports: Ergence of Strength, which is dangerous kayaking in rapid rivers; Descent from the Sky, which is parachuting from great heights; Awakening of the Earth, which is unprotected diving; Creatures of Water, which is surfing in huge waves; Movent of the Wind, which is wingsuit flying through mountain canyons; Ice Consolidation, which is skiing on mountain peaks; Mastery of Life, which is free climbing; and Absolute Trust, which tests teamwork’s trust level.

Each of these eight extre sports is very dangerous. You could say that for ordinary people, just watching the videos might make their legs feel weak.

Back in the day, Lin Jiang also made these up for fun, but he didn’t expect so many people to play them, calling it a tribute to nature, to life, and a search for the aning of life.

Now Lin Jiang feels that his thoughts are very conservative. These things are just like self-destruction and are aningless.

"Why do you say that? Isn’t it good?"

"Little Ying, the video turned out really well; the visuals are great. But have you thought about how much money it costs to play these sports? What could happen? Small Shadiao won’t die, but other ordinary people might. Do you want to look up how many people die each year doing this? What do their parents and relatives think? How do they see the wasted resources?"

"You have a point, but we don’t need to criticize other people’s lives."

"Of course, I can’t control others, but if anyone from the Lin family does this, I will step in. If they really think life is so dull and boring, that’s fine; I’ll send them to mine instead. They might even create so social benefits along the way."

Lin Jiang said, different people have different views. He can’t control others, but he can manage his own family. Parents give you life, not to see you throw it away.

"Sotis, I think we need this fearless spirit to break through our current difficulties. A spirit that does not fear death. You have been quite conservative these years."

"I know, but I can’t afford to lose, you know?"

Lin Jiang nodded. How could he not know that his thoughts had beco more conservative over the years? But he truly cannot afford to lose. It might be fine for him, but what about the people who follow him? If sothing happens to him, it wouldn’t just be a few lives. It could be hundreds of thousands, even millions, or even billions.

"If I beco an immortal, what should I do about being heartless and ungrateful?"

"Then it’s better not to beco an immortal. Little Ying, you don’t need to test . You should understand my feelings. I am not the kind of person who is heartless and ungrateful. We have lived for thousands of years, and one by one, our family and friends have left us."

"Now we even lack the ability to socialize. Over the years, have we made any new friends? No, right? So maintaining our current family ties and friendships is the most important thing."

Lin Jiang said that over the years, there have been very few friends who walked into their lives. Let alone those new generation cultivators, even the sleeping cultivators are not many.

This is a side effect of living too long; one slowly loses the ability to socialize. Lin Jiang used to think it didn’t matter; friends can be made again after so die.

But as ti went on and his mindset changed, Lin Jiang realized he was overthinking. He now found it hard to open his heart to make friends, and he hadn’t even lived a grounded life.

This made Lin Jiang cherish his current life even more, making him more careful with his choices, afraid of choosing wrong and losing everything.

"Alright, I understand. Discussing this is aningless. Let Small Shadiao have his fun. After all, it’s not easy for him either, so we won’t go, right?"

"Yes."

"Founder Two has been flying for nearly a hundred years, and ti is running out."

"I know this matter is not urgent; there is still plenty of ti. We can take it slow. For now, we must first ensure internal adjustnts and guarantee stability."

Lin Jiang nodded. The cultivators were growing stronger, making the internal situation increasingly unstable. Their powerful abilities brought about greater ambitions. Therefore, Lin Jiang needed to constantly stabilize the internal situation. After all, most people were unaware of the truth in this world; they didn’t know they were actually in great danger.

Lin Jiang did not plan to reveal this secret. So things should not be spoken of; this is called the secret of heaven. If it is revealed, it is no longer a secret; it becos a source of disaster.
