Eternal Life Begins with Bug-Refining

 Three years ago, the Kingdom of Water.

 In the misty rain, a strong man in black with a long sword at his waist walked into an inn and walked straight to the backyard.

 The backyard was full of men wearing bamboo hats.

The man in black reached out and took off the bamboo hat on his head, and the men wearing bamboo hats around him suddenly stood in awe.

 “No. 9, you are finally here!”

 “The latest news, Chen Qing has achieved the True One Slash!”

 “It seems that Chen Qing will not let us go.”

“We stole his power, how could he let us go?”

“According to Tai Sui, Chen Qing will definitely prove his uniqueness, which requires killing all of us.”

 “No. 9, come up with an idea!”

 “In my opinion, it’s better to join the evil sect and kill Chen Qing!”

"Are you dreaming about killing Chen Qing? Not to mention how powerful we are, but we are invincible in the Xuan Guan realm, and the main body also has the King Gu that we don't have. How can it be so easy to kill him?"

“No. 9, you are the one closest to the Void Gate. Is there no other way?”

　　Number 9 put down his sword and sat in the rain, ignoring the falling rain.

Since his birth, he has been constantly killing people, which has made him a little numb.

“I once relied on the Great Dream Gu to go to the Void Gate. If my guess is correct, Chen Qing should have gained control of the Void River and the Black Sun.”

“Now, the evil sect is unwilling to let us go. Even if Chen Qing gets the True Slash, they will not leave us alone.”

 “But they never asked us if we were willing to come to this world!”

 “All this is Tai Sui’s fault!”

“At this point, there is only one last resort.”

 “We unite!”

“Only by uniting and integrating into one, can we control more of the power of the Void Gate, use the Void Gate to suppress Tai Sui, and completely eliminate this scourge!”

“The void will contain everything, I will be in you, and you will be in me!”

No. 9 vowed, "First of all, at least we must master the most powerful power, enough to fight against Tai Sui Chen Qing!"

But someone soon asked, "But after suppressing the evil sect, will Chen Qing let us go?"

“Behind him is the Aurora Sect, Jianyou Palace, Miao Shen, and True Lord Haoran. What about us? What do we have?”

“If we don’t capture Chen Qing, we won’t be able to negotiate with Chen Qing!”

No. 9 thought for a moment and said: "Let's unite together first to suppress the evil sect, then capture Chen Qing, use Chen Qing as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the great religion, let them let us go, and let us live freely and live a normal life. !”

Suddenly someone said: "If this is the case, then I might as well continue to lurk, wait for the evil faction and Chen Qing to start a war, and then capture Chen Qing in one fell swoop!"

Just as everyone was discussing nervously, a woman's scream suddenly came out, and No. 9 immediately drew his sword out of its sheath, "Who is it? Who brought the others!"

　　No. 63 stood up tremblingly, "It's me."

No. 9 said: "Sixty-three, I know that when you were born, you did not receive guidance, so you lived as an ordinary person for more than a year. But didn't you later know the cause of the matter?"

"Why do you bring outsiders here? Do you know what will happen if we are exposed?"

The 63rd arrived: "I don't want to either, but Qian'er, Qian'er, she."

 “She is pregnant with my child.”

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. No. 9 was stunned, "You say it again?"

Number 63 said: "She is pregnant with my child, and it is also your child."

As a baby's cry came from the room, everyone was stunned on the spot.

That is the child No. 63, and it is also considered their child. That is the proof that they have been in this world.

No. 9 slowly stepped forward and opened the door. The woman was lying on the bed full of blood. She had lost her breath and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

 This woman chose to end her life after giving birth to her child.

No. 9 came to the baby, reached out and picked up the baby girl. The baby girl seemed to be much smarter than ordinary babies. When she saw him, she shouted, "Daddy"

No. 9 couldn't help but started to tremble all over. He carefully carried the girl out of the room, blocked all the rain with his bamboo hat, and uttered categorical words, "Before I saw her, I didn't know what I was doing. And live.”

 “Living for the sake of living? What a pitiful reason.”

"It was a mistake from the beginning. We kept killing, hunting for bugs, and hunting for the precious sword."

“In order to survive, our hands are stained with blood.”

 “We can all die.”

"but."

 “We at least want her to live.”

No. 63 also gained courage, "For her, I can kill the whole world!"

 A large number of men in black stood up, "Let's unite!"

 “We unite!”

 “I use my body to transform Taixu!”

 “Wherever Taixu is, that’s where I am!”

Under the rain curtain, the dark and deep void merged into one.

 The heavy rain in the Kingdom of Water has been falling continuously for three years.

 When Chen Qing came here for the first time, what he saw was the endless rain, sometimes heavy and sometimes small.

Chen Qing reached out to catch a handful of rainwater, "Can you determine everyone's position through the rainwater?"

“Unfortunately, this trick is of no use to me.”

Chen Qing turned into mist and flew forward, flying from one hilltop to another, quickly heading towards the King's City of Water.

Trapped all the way, what I saw was that each mortal village turned into a demon cave, with a large number of black mist monsters entrenched in it.

Chen Qing has no interest in cleaning up these magic cave villages, so he can just leave it to Li Shang.

 At night, Chen Qing was walking in the rain. While taking action, he suddenly saw a trace of fire in the distance.

 Chen Qing was suddenly surprised, "Fire light?"

 “After years of disasters, are there still mortals alive in the Kingdom of Water?”

 Chen Qing approached the fire and could see a cave in front of him. Inside the cave was a group of mortals, gathering around a bonfire to keep warm.

Chen Qing dispersed his senses, "More than three hundred mortals?" "Listening to their conversation, it seems that they have fled here from the vicinity of the royal city, and are preparing to seek a way out near King Wen's palace."

Chen Qing stood on a dead tree in the distance, listening to the communication of this group of mortals in the rain.

There was a quarrel among the mortals over whether to save the mortals of another village. "We don't have much food, and we can't take more people on the road!"

“But they are just like us, and you joined the team later, so what qualifications do you have not to save them!”

“There are still tens of thousands of miles to go from here to the territory of the Kingdom of Water. How can we get so much food?”

“The earth is full of rain, and the ground is full of meat and blood. There is no way to grow food!”

 “We can’t find any more food!”

Finally, a little girl with bare feet and purple hair came back from the rain riding a bear, holding a huge lotus leaf as her little umbrella.

“Stop arguing, I feel like I can get more food, and we will definitely be able to get out of here.”

 The little girl does not look very old, only seven or eight years old. She is wearing a green floral skirt.

But her words seemed to have a strange magical power that was convincing. She used very playful language to quickly calm down everyone's quarrels and began to arrange how to rescue the mortals trapped in the devil's cave.

 Chen Qing's eyes were fixed on the purple-haired little girl. He felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness to this little girl.

 “Alien?”

“In this situation that can be called the end of the world, you actually want to save other people. What’s the origin?”

 Then, Chen Qing saw the little girl reach out and fish out a bag of rice from the void.

 The little girl said: "Look, I can bring out more food."

 Chen Qing was slightly startled, "Similar to Ji Ru's ability to retrieve items from the void, what special connection does she have with the Void Gate?"

 Many mortals became excited again, surrounding the girl, following her arrangements, preparing to rescue more mortals, and go on the road together to escape from this country that was about to be destroyed.

 The little girl took out three bags of rice and asked everyone to make porridge and distribute it to everyone.

 After eating, everyone's emotions calmed down, "Then please ask Mr. Li to arrange how to attack Luohua Village tomorrow and rescue those mortals."

 Chen Qing was also interested. He wanted to see how this group of mortals would fight against the black mist monster with the strength of the ninth level of Qi refining.

Soon, a pale scholar came out holding the hand of a little girl. The scholar said: "We still have enough fire spirit stones and thunder spirit stones in stock. Tomorrow, we will still use thunder cannons."

“First use the thunder cannon to bombard one round, and then use the thunder sword to kill the remaining monsters!”

As he spoke, he coughed, as if he was ill.

 Chen Qing was puzzled as to what the scholar was talking about.

 Chen Qing was listening to the discussions of these mortals outside, and roughly knew that the scholar was called Li Dangxian. He used to be a practitioner, but later encountered some setbacks and lost all his cultivation.

 He can create some weapons that use spiritual stones to attack, or armor that forms a spiritual shield, and is responsible for commanding this group of mortal warriors.

 The little girl with purple hair is called Lingxi, and it was Lingxi who found the food in the team.

 Chen Qing became more and more interested in this group of mortals, "A mortal who can control spiritual energy through artifacts is truly extremely talented!"

“Anyway, killing all the clones won’t take a day or two, let’s wait for another day or two.”

The next day, all mortals began to take action under the command of Lingxi and Li Dangxian. The old, weak, women and children were waiting ten miles away in Luohua Village under the leadership of Lingxi.

After Lingxi brought out enough food for the soldiers to eat, Li Dangxian and thirty soldiers set off with their weapons.

Those are extremely peculiar pieces of armor with spiritual stone inlaid slots on them, which are responsible for providing power.

 After putting on these armors, the warriors were as light as swallows and ran as fast as flying.

No wonder he could survive in such a dangerous place. Li Dangxian led 30 soldiers to the outside of Luohua Village and said, "Take out the thunder cannon!"

 The soldiers immediately took out a rather strange-looking thing, similar to a huge bamboo tube, with a trigger installed.

After pulling the trigger, a huge wave of fire was ejected from the barrel, impacting the ruined village.

 Chen Qing sensed the structure, which was engraved with complex patterns. The explosion caused by the collision of the Thunder Spirit Stone and the Fire Spirit Stone caused damage and spewed out waves of fire.

 Just through the array patterns, one can mobilize spiritual energy to produce primitive reactions and cause destructive power. Apart from the complicated array patterns, the rest is not difficult.

 As the fire wave erupted, the entire Luohua Village was immediately burned to the ground.

A large number of black fog monsters were blasted to pieces, and the remaining ones were completely killed by Li Dangxian and the warriors holding thunder swords.

The structure of this thunder sword is much more complicated than that of a thunder cannon. It requires a specific frequency of spiritual energy to bombard the spiritual stone to create such an effect of the spiritual energy converging into a thunder sword.

 After rescuing the three women, Li Dangxian led everyone back to the team and continued to leave the Kingdom of Water.

 Unfortunately, not long after leaving, Chen Qing felt an extremely powerful aura flying towards the team.

 Chen Qing's heart tightened and he followed him, ready to see what was going on.

That is a practitioner from the Kingdom of Water. He is in the entrance realm. He is wearing a bamboo hat and his face cannot be seen clearly.

Standing in the air at the Xuanguan Realm, he shouted: "Li Dangxian, I don't care if you leave the Kingdom of Water, but you must keep Lingxi!"

Li Dangxian said: "I don't want to get involved in the fight in your royal city. I just want to take these mortals away from your battlefield!"

 The Xuanguan realm said: "Li Dangxian, I will give you two choices now, either keep this little girl, or I will kill you all and take this little girl away!"

Li Dangxian smiled helplessly, "You left me with no choice."

"It is impossible for me to give Lingxi to you and let you bring Lingxi into the terrifying whirlpool of the royal city."

 “She is just a child, a child who knows nothing!”

　　The person at the entrance of the Kingdom of Water said: "She is too important to you all. I can't let you take her away. Let you take her away. I can't handle it!"

“Li Dangxian, do you really think that a group of mortals can stop me?”

Li Dangxian smiled confidently, "So, what are you waiting for?"

"You are afraid that I have developed an artifact that can kill Xuan Guan realm!"

The person in the water kingdom's entrance laughed, "Wrong, I'm waiting for the fog to rise."

Li Dangxian suddenly became alert. He looked around, and saw that thick fog had surrounded them. A soldier in armor beside him fell to the ground, his body paralyzed.

 He also felt paralyzed all over, "Poisonous mist, you are waiting for the poisonous mist you control to explode!"

 The Xuanguan Realm of the Kingdom of Water laughed loudly, "Li Dangxian, I admit that you have some abilities, but in front of a true practitioner, a mortal is still nothing!"

 He landed from the sky and headed straight towards Lingxi, "Miss Lingxi, it's time for you to have enough fun and go back to the royal city."

At this moment, he suddenly heard Chen Qing's cold voice behind him, and was pushed to the ground by Chen Qing, "Now, tell me who Lingxi is, and you still have a way to survive!"

The person at the entrance of the Kingdom of Water looked at Chen Qing in surprise, "King Wen's lackeys? Or are they the rebels?" (End of this chapter)
