Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 112: Immortal Village Seal, Spirit grade Sword Gu, Great River

The sword ghosts were lured away. Chen Qing said, "He's luring the sword ghosts away for us to retrieve the Gu!"

The sword tomb looked like a fortress with hundreds of rusted swords stabbed into it.

On the two sides of the mountain peaks, there were stone swords. It looked like a sea of swords.

The entrance of the sword tomb was only as tall as a person. It was made of huge rocks and was extremely dilapidated.

The three stood in the fog far away, observing the movements around the sword tomb.

Xuan Ping said softly, "Your snake Gu can only defend against the attacks of Foundation Establishment. Nie Fei's mirror Gu is not strong either."

"Only my spirit grade bow Gu can break through the defense of Foundation Establishment. He's guiding us to retrieve the spirit sword Gu so that you can have the strength to break through the Foundation Establishment's protective spirit qi!"

Large amounts of vines spread into the sword tomb's entrance. In just a short while, more than ten sword ghosts rushed out of the sword tomb.

After listening for a while and seeing that there was no movement in the sword tomb, Chen Qing said, "Let's go and retrieve the sword Gu!"

Walking into the cave, Chen Qing waved his hand and released light butterflies to illuminate the surroundings.

In the center of the vast sword tomb, there was a sword coffin.

As if it sensed Chen Qing's arrival, the sword coffin's lid slowly opened, revealing a gap.

In the next moment, they saw sword energy gushing out from the sword coffin. In just a moment, the surroundings turned into a world of sword energy.

Chen Qing said, "My physique is extremely strong. I'll try to see if I can withstand these sword energy and retrieve the sword."

He strode forward, but he had only taken three steps when the Sword Qi became even more berserk. The Sword Qi surged out of the Sword Coffin endlessly, attacking him like a tide.

The sword energy was like a tide. The entire sword tomb seemed to have turned into a sea of swords. Endless sword energy landed on Chen Qing's body, making crackling sounds.

Chen Qing moved forward with difficulty. Every step he took, he had to withstand dozens of sword energy attacks.

Crackling sounds could be heard incessantly. Layers of golden light appeared on his body, blocking the Sword Qi that swept over him.

The terrifying sword energy spread in all directions. When it came into contact with the sword tomb's stone walls, it instantly sliced everything in the surroundings into pieces.

Wherever the sword tide passed, everything was shattered before it.

The sword tide was like a river. Wherever it passed, it would turn into fine powder and shatter into pieces.

Chen Qing struggled to move forward amidst the dust, each step becoming firmer and firmer.

The young man had already lured all the Sword Ghosts away for them, so there was no reason why he couldn't subdue this Sword Vermin.

When Nie Fei saw this terrifying scene, he hurriedly retreated. After seeing that Chen Qing was not injured, he roared, "This thing is too terrifying. I'll retreat first and wait for you in the fog behind!"

Xuan Ping also retreated into the mist. She watched as the mountain in front of her started to collapse. Wherever the river of sword energy passed, everything shattered.

The foundation at the foot of the mountain was completely shattered by the Sword Qi river. A huge stone mountain collapsed in an instant, pressing down in the direction of the Sword Tomb.

He should be able to withstand it. His Golden Muscles and Jade Bones could barely withstand the attacks of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As the river of sword qi swept down, everything in the Sword Catacomb except for the sword coffin was shattered.

Large rocks continued to fall from above, but before they could reach Chen Qing, they were crushed into powder by the Sword Qi and were blown away by the wind.

Everything around him was collapsing. Chen Qing struggled to move forward, but each step was more stable than the previous. His clothes were all torn apart by the violent Sword Qi, revealing his Golden Muscles and Jade Bones.

When the Sword Qi landed on his body, it was like they were hammering iron.

Chen Qing took large steps forward, as if he was moving forward with the enormous pressure of a mountain.

The Strength Butterfly flapped its wings, giving Chen Qing greater strength.

Chen Qing did not try to control these Sword Qi, nor did he summon the Geng Jin Sword. In front of a spirit grade Sword Vermin, the Geng Jin Sword would only be forcefully controlled by higher grade Spirit Sword Vermin.

In the countless fragments, Chen Qing's steps were slower than the previous. But he was still moving forward.

If it was someone who did not cultivate a powerful body protection technique, they would not be able to withstand such a terrifying attack.

Chen Qing looked at the distance between himself and the Sword Tomb, calculating when he should use the Fog Gu to deal the fatal blow to this spirit grade Sword Vermin!

Step by step, after an hour, the golden light around Chen Qing's body was wavering, and he was finally a hundred meters away from the Sword Tomb.

He estimated the distance and immediately turned into fog, passing through countless Sword Qi and landing in front of the Sword Tomb.

The Spirit Sword Vermin seemed to have sensed Chen Qing's trick, and immediately condensed Sword Qi so dense that they almost materialized, attacking Chen Qing.

Chen Qing lowered his head to look at the Spirit Sword Vermin in the Sword Tomb. It was not in the form of a Gu worm, but in the form of a sword.

It was a four feet long sword, the blade was three feet and two inches long, and the hilt was eight inches long.

The sword was green-white in color, and there was a faint water light floating on it.

[Spirit grade Sword Vermin – Big River]

A sword pool appears in the body, can store and produce Sword Qi.

[Characteristics]: [Big River Sword], widens the meridians in the body, can control Sword Qi to form a river of Sword Qi.

Growth progress: 100/100

Advancement requirement: Rank nine, beside a surging river.

Ninety-nine strands of water spirit energy, one Sword Tomb, nine complete ancient swords that have existed for over a thousand years.

Chen Qing glanced at it and saw through all the information.

No wonder it was so strong. It was a wild Rank Nine Spirit Grade Sword Insect!

That big snake from before was nothing in front of it.

Chen Qing immediately flew up and kicked the lid of the sword coffin. Then, he jumped onto the sword coffin and squeezed out drops of blood from his fingers to draw the contract rune on the sword coffin.

The coffin lid constantly jumped, but it was firmly pressed down by Chen Qing. In just a short dozen breaths of time, Chen Qing had finished drawing the contract rune. Instantly, he felt a powerful suction force burst forth from the sword coffin, crazily absorbing the spirit energy in his body!

Chen Qing quickly took out two mid-grade Spirit Stones and stuffed them into his mouth. He quickly recovered his Spirit Qi so that he could supply the Golden Skin Jade Bone and the Big River Sword Insect.

He sat cross-legged on the sword coffin. The river of Sword Qi that had spread in all directions swept back and hit him. The sound of metal hitting metal was endless!

Chen Qing took another mid-grade Spirit Stone and stuffed it into his mouth. "Quite strong!"

The coffin lid shook, trying to lift Chen Qing up. Chen Qing tried his best to hold it down. The Spirit Qi in his body was replenished again and again. After seven times, the river of Sword Qi around him dissipated.

Feeling a weak consciousness in his mind, Chen Qing pushed the sword coffin away and held the Big River Sword in his hand. He waved his hand and put away the sword coffin.

Holding the Big River Sword in his hand, Chen Qing looked around again. He found that the landscape had changed greatly.

He quickly ran out of the changed landscape and stepped on the rocks into the fog again.

"Let's go. The commotion here is too big. The Yin-Yang Sect will come soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the fog moving away. "Follow the fog!"

Seeing Chen Qing's appearance and the silence, they knew that Chen Qing had succeeded. They quickly followed Chen Qing into the fog.

This time, the fog drifted for hundreds of miles. They heard the sound of a river in the distance. Dense fishes were swimming in the river, swimming upstream from the sea.

More than ten big black bears stood on the shore. They waved their claws and slapped the fishes down to the shore. They tore the fishes apart and ate the fish eggs.

These bears rarely had such an opportunity in a year. They didn't even eat the fish meat, only the fish eggs.

They specifically targeted those fish with bulging abdomens. The school of fish seemed to be unaware of the danger and continued to swim upstream.

As soon as Chen Qing and the others arrived, they saw the sea. "What's the meaning of this? He brought us to the sea!"

Nie Fei jumped down from a tree and pointed at the ants on the ground. "Look!"

A large number of ants crawled out from the ground, forming three palm-sized words as they walked:

[Survive]

Xuan Ping said, "He wants us to leave."

After Xuan Ping finished speaking, the group of ants dispersed. The fog that had been shrouding them also dissipated. The world once again returned to its original state. There was no more movement.

Nie Fei was extremely anxious. He quickly arrived near the group of black bears and caught a black bear. After killing it with a punch, he quickly dug out a large hole and buried the black bear.

They waited for a full quarter of an hour, but there was no sign of the young man crawling out covered in blood.

Nie Fei punched the mound. "Damn it, it's not coming out anymore!"

"He must be in danger!"

"He wants us to leave?"

"Since when did our Aurora Sect need others to save us?"

"Who wants his pity!"

"Who wants him to save us at the last moment of his life!"

As he spoke, he was already on the verge of tears. "We don't know each other, we just met by chance. And Taiyi isn't a mutant!"

"Why did he save us?"

"Didn't we just walk together, have a few meals, and help you kill a few people?"

"But why the f * ck did you save Grandpa!"

"It's only been a few days!"

Xuan Ping said slowly, "Maybe we're the only ones who helped him."

"Just those few skewers of barbecued meat, that little help, might be the only warmth he felt in this world."

"He remembers, so he wants us to leave."

Xuan Ping looked at Chen Qing and smiled brightly. "Let's go. Let's go back and save him."

People like Chen Qing, who was willing to escort her for eight thousand miles, were unwilling to leave at this moment.

She knew what he was thinking, so she spoke directly.

Chen Qing recalled the first time he saw the young man. He was like a wolf, a pure wild beast.

He might have been discovered to be a mutant when he was born, and then he was treated as a tool and tortured.

The best days of his life were actually these few days of hunting, the time he spent with them.

Chen Qing suddenly felt a throbbing. The light butterfly in his body flew out and landed on the riverbank. It threw the fish eggs left behind by the bears into the river.

The light butterfly didn't stop for a moment, wanting to save those new lives.

It picked up the fish eggs and threw them into the river.

Chen Qing came to the riverbank and saw the fish eggs fall into the river, but they were caught and eaten by the crabs.

He didn't touch the crabs, nor did he chase away the black bears that boldly returned to continue fishing.

The light butterfly never stopped the black bear or the crab. It only threw the scattered fish eggs into the water.

Chen Qing turned back and started to help the light butterfly throw the fish eggs into the river.

He turned back and smiled. "Before we go save him, we have to become stronger. I feel that my light butterfly is about to reach the Dao Integration Stage!"

Walking ten thousand miles, he had already walked more than nine thousand miles.

Nie Fei looked at Chen Qing's light butterfly in surprise. "This size, it's about to reach the Dao Integration Stage!"

"I heard from Li Chonghuan that your light butterfly is extremely extraordinary!"

"The Spirit Sword Parasite has just been contracted, so it's not very strong. But if the light butterfly reaches the Dao Integration Stage, your strength will definitely soar. You might even be able to defeat a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator!"

He quickly squatted down and copied Chen Qing's light butterfly. He picked up the scattered fish eggs and threw them into the river.

Chen Qing said, "Nie Fei, you're good at transformation. Even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator might not be able to discover you. Go and gather some information. When we arrive, come and find us."

Nie Fei stood up. "Yes, that young man must have encountered danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost control of this world."

"I'll go and take care of him first. Don't let him give up!"

After Nie Fei finished speaking, he turned into a small flying insect and entered the forest.

Xuan Ping came over and put the fish eggs into the water with Chen Qing.

After a full day, Chen Qing suddenly heard a new message in the wind. "Let's go. A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from the Yin Yang Sect is here!"

The two hid in the forest. Chen Qing finally relaxed from his busy work, but he found that he could feel more.

It was as if he could hear the sound of all living things growing. Those sounds were crisp and clear, filled with respect for life.

After the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator left, a scene flashed through Chen Qing's mind. "There's a deer in the valley over there. Let's go help it."

After walking for more than ten miles into the valley, Chen Qing heard the cry of a deer ahead. He walked forward because the baby deer was too fat and couldn't give birth. Only its head was exposed.

Xuan Ping rolled up her sleeves. "When I was in the tribe, I saw them deliver medicinal deer. Let me do it."

Xuan Ping spent a great deal of effort to safely deliver the baby deer.

As soon as they were born, the two deer ran far away.

Looking at the two deer running into the distance, Chen Qing once again felt a strange dao rhythm rising in his heart.

"My senses are getting clearer."

He stood up and did not look at the two deer. "I seem to hear this Immortal Island breathing."

"It's just that its breathing has been blocked. Now that it can't breathe properly, all the life forms here are in danger."

Before he could finish, a bolt of lightning struck down from the clear sky, splitting a thousand-year-old tree into pieces.

Xuan Ping looked at this bizarre scene and said, "Could it be related to that young man?"

"He belongs to this island. Now that he's been seriously injured, he's bringing this world to its death?"

Chen Qing walked forward. "Let's go. My path is about to come to an end, and the feeling that the light butterfly is about to reach the Dao Integration Stage is getting stronger and stronger."

They had only taken two steps when they heard a loud rumbling sound in front of them. A huge mountain had collapsed, and rocks were everywhere.

They flew over the rubble and suddenly saw a long and narrow tunnel under the collapsed mountain.

This tunnel had been opened not long ago, and there were new sword marks on it.

Chen Qing stood at the entrance of the tunnel, listening to the muffled sound of wind coming from inside.

A huge nail was stuck in a milky white flower the size of a house. The flower's roots spread out, connecting to the earth veins.

That nail looked very similar to the one that nailed the young man.

This Immortal Island was indeed alive. That flower was the core of this Immortal Island.

As for the Yin-Yang Sect, they had nailed down the Earthvein Flower and controlled the entire region.

No wonder they could capture that young man.

Chen Qing stepped into the tunnel. He was going to pull out the nail.
