<h4>Chapter 1306: Chapter 1614: He’s Still Alive (3)</h4>


    "Could it be... does this have anything to do with you bing a monk?"


    "No. What’s truly rted is the Prajnaparamita Sutra, the cultivation technique I created. Ever since I practiced the Prajnaparamita Sutra, my body gradually began to change. When I mastered this cultivation technique to the Great Achievement Realm, I was surprised to find that my previously injured body had fully recovered. Not only that, no matter what kind of injury I suffered, I could heal quickly. To be honest, I was frightened by my own transformation at the time."


    Prajnaparamita Sutra!


    Ling Chen’s expression changed; so it was the Prajnaparamita Sutra! No wonder he survived Qin Chuan’s assassinationst time. It’s estimated that thanks to the Prajnaparamita Sutra, his body gained self-healing abilities. However, because he hasn’t cultivated this technique to perfection yet, the self-healing ability isn’t very apparent.


    "Why does the Prajnaparamita Sutra have such an effect?" Ling Chen asked curiously, "Since this is a cultivation technique you created, you should know best."


    "Back then, after I became a monk, I discovered many ancient texts in the tower of a temple. I casually picked a few to read since I had nothing else to do, and found they recorded very profound martial arts. However, although those martial arts were intricate, only monks with a clear mind and few desires could practice them. Although I had be a monk, my heart wasn’t detached from worldly desires, and I couldn’t do without wine and meat, making it impossible to learn those skills. So, I spent several years integrating these profound martial arts, added my own insights, and created the Prajnaparamita Sutra."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but say, "Ancestor, to be honest, your cultivation technique is too burdensome. Why does it require a woman to practice? Do you think everyone is like you, flirting everywhere?"


    "Have you practiced the Prajnaparamita Sutra?" A string of question marks followed this sentence.


    Ling Chen nodded and said, "I once found an ancient text left by the ancients, which included a vast array of knowledge, including the practice form of the Prajnaparamita Sutra."


    "Hahahaha!" A string ofughter quickly appeared on the screen, "You truly are my descendant; we indeed have a bond. You actually picked up something I threw away hundreds of yearster. What stage is your Prajnaparamita Sutra at now?"


    "I’m not sure. I just know that every time I am with a woman, my power increases a bit. I’m now at the Earthly List level."


    "Earthly List? Too weak. That implies you’ve reached the third stage of the Prajnaparamita Sutra. The Prajnaparamita Sutraprises six stages; you are now at a watershed. Once you cross this step, you can enter the Heavenly List realm, which is the fourth stage of the Prajnaparamita Sutra."


    Ling Chen was startled. The fourth stage reached the Heavenly List; then wouldn’t the fifth and sixth stages be defying the heavens?


    "I spent decades mastering the Prajnaparamita Sutra to the Great Achievement Realm. Back then, I was already quite old. However, at the moment of my achievement, my whole body underwent massive changes, and I instantly regained vitality, as if I had aged back to a younger self. Therefore, I think all of this was caused by the Prajnaparamita Sutra. As for the reason, it should be rted to those profound martial arts in the temple. Unfortunately, so many years have passed, and there’s no chance to uncover the truth."


    Ling Chen pondered and asked, "Ancestor, you were dismembered in the past, and it was Guo Family’s ancestor Guo Qiang who recovered your head and torso and settled you here. As far as I know, you seemed to have sought help from the Guo Family knowing you would be hunted down."


    "You’re right; that’s indeed the case. Those who hunted me down back then were none other than the bastards from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. It’s also my own fault for being too careless, thinking the old guys from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had all died after decades, thinking no one would recognize me. So I went to join the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony for fun to see if there were any young pretty girls. As a result, I didn’t get the girl, but instead, exposed my identity, leading to the pursuit by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    Flirting with girls brings trouble! Ling Chen shook his head helplessly, having no words for his ancestor’s flirtatious nature.


    "Ancestor, if we find all your limbs back, can you return to your former self?"


    "That’s right. But who knows where my limbs are now; they might have long been destroyed."


    "I know. Although you’ve been dead for hundreds of years, Ancestor, the internal disputes within the Ling Family have never ceased because of you, as they’ve all been trying to find out the secret of your immortality."


    "What’s so good about being immortal? I’d rather be an ordinary person. If possible, I’d rather die than keep living. Can you help me piece my body back together? Since the disputes in the Ling Family began because of me, let me resolve them myself."


    "No problem, I’ll think of ways to help you settle this matter."


    "Alright, that’s it. I’m tired from chatting for so long."


    "Then rest well, and I’lle chat with you another day." With that, Ling Chen turned and walked out of the room.


    In the lounge, Chen Junfeng, Qiu Yong, and others immediately gathered around. It was obvious they were very interested in Ling Gengqiu and wanted to know what Ling Chen had talked about with him.


    "Sixth brother, what do you n to do now?"


    Ling Chen shrugged, "What else? Of course, go find those severed limbs. If Ling Gengqiu can indeed solve the Ling Family’s centuries-old conflict, that would be a good thing." Saying this, Ling Chen checked the time and said, "Why don’t we head back now?"


    "Okay."


    With that, the group greeted Guo Ming and drove straight back to the Falcon Private Security Company.


    Back in the chairman’s office, Ling Chen sat alone on the sofa, still recalling the conversation he had with Ling Gengqiu just now. At this moment, he still felt a bit skeptical, finding it somewhat unreal. Could it be... that there really are people who can live forever?


    Moreover, ording to Ling Gengqiu, his immortality was closely rted to the Prajnaparamita Sutra. Since he was also cultivating the Prajnaparamita Sutra, could this mean that he would eventually be like Ling Gengqiu?


    Thinking about this gave Ling Chen a headache.


    Just then, a ’knock knock knock’ sounded from outside the door.


    "Come in!"


    As the words fell, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Ling Chen opened his mouth, "Miss Dong, you..." Before he finished speaking, he quickly shut his mouth, got up from the sofa, and quickly went to greet the visitor, "Second brother, weren’t you going to rest? I thought it was Dong Yinging."


    Xu Ming casually found a seat and sat down, looked at Ling Chen, and enunciated each word, "I want to tell you something. Ling Gengqiu is not the only one."
