Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 121: The Ancient Prince

Whenever Chen Qing couldn't understand what they were talking about, Hu Yao would always help Chen Qing ask.

"What do you mean, Ghost Face Realm, Death Realm, what are those?"

Xu Yaofeng explained: "Ghost Face Realm is the third realm of cultivation"

"This realm requires one to understand life and death in order to transcend the heavens and earth and obtain a lifespan that far exceeds that of ordinary people"

Hu Yao asked: "Doesn't Foundation Establishment have a lifespan of 200 years?"

Xu Yaofeng said: "Ordinary mortals, if they don't suffer from any illness or disaster, can also live for more than 100 years"

"With the addition of treasured medicines and a reasonable mix, the longest one can live is 180 years old"

"Foundation Establishment is only because their bodies are better than mortals, so they can easily live to this age"

"Foundation Establishment isn't truly transcending the mortal world, it's only because they've lived for too long and are out of touch with the mortal world that they appear to be otherworldly"

Ji Ru continued: "It's said that the cultivation method of Ghost Face Realm wasn't like this before the Extreme Light Sect appeared"

"But after the Extreme Light Sect opened the Ghost Gate, it became like this"

Chen Qing suddenly thought of more, the Extreme Light Sect opened the Ghost Gate and changed the cultivation method of a realm.

He was also a gate, then what would he open?

Xu Yaofeng said: "Foundation Establishment is divided into 4 realms, early, mid, late, and complete"

"Those who cultivate to the peak are called Great Completion of Foundation Establishment"

"After Great Completion of Foundation Establishment, one needs to borrow power from the heavens, severing one's lifespan to enter the Death Realm"

"From death to life, from death to life, to transcend the Great Dao, to break through the shackles of life and death, to obtain great fortune and a long lifespan"

"The cultivation method of Ghost Face Realm is said to be to gain merit and enlightenment by subduing evil spirits, to be able to see through life and death and gain enlightenment"

"And this, is to enter the Death Realm"

"Because the Death Realm only has Ghost Face Realm and no other realms, and because of severing one's lifespan, everyone's lifespan is not long, the battle for the Death Realm is also the realm where cultivators die the most"

"In the Ghost Face Realm, almost no one dies of old age, they either die in battle or succeed in breaking through"

"But you don't have to worry, our Extreme Light Sect's influence in the Death Realm is much greater than others"

"The reason why the Aurora Sect was able to survive until now is because of the Death Realm."

"Cult Master once said, 'When I open a world, the aurora of eternity will shine!'"

"This is the foundation of our Extreme Light Religion!"

After listening to the entire story, Chen Qing could feel the strength of the Extreme Light Sect.

It actually controlled an entire realm!

Of course, that was when the Extreme Light Cult was at its peak.

Now, he reckoned that his control over the Death Realm wasn't at the point where he was the only one in control.

Ji Ru continued: "At the end of the Age of Old, the Extreme Light Religion lost control of the Death Realm. It was also from that time that the Extreme Light Religion began to split up"

"The entire sect has fallen apart, and the sect leader has fallen."

"The most recent historical record is that the Lord of the Mortal World three hundred years ago had once unified the Death Realm."

"At that time, the Extreme Light Sect flourished again."

"Everyone who wants to cultivate in the Ghost Face Realm and break through to the Profound Martial Realm will need to purchase qualifications from the Extreme Light Sect."

"One can only cultivate in peace in the Death Realm if one has all the required documents."

"The Lord of the Mortal World controlled the entire Ghost Face Realm for sixty years, and everyone needed his approval to advance."

"Unfortunately, it didn't last for many years."

"After the Lord of the Mortal World left the Death Realm, he suffered a crazy counterattack from all the major forces in the world."

"Especially the Dragon Clan, they took out a large number of treasures and offered a bounty for the head of the Lord of the Mortal World."

"The Extreme Light Sect used many methods, but unfortunately, they still couldn't protect this hero who dominated the Ghost Face Realm."

Chen Qing thought to himself, 'You controlled a realm and even set up a purchasing system, it would be strange if people didn't hate you.

When you were in the Death Realm, people couldn't do anything to you, but when you returned to the main world, you wouldn't even know how you died. '

Chen Qing also began to understand more about the Extreme Light Sect. How terrifying was the predecessor of such a force to be able to completely control the advancement of a realm?

To put it bluntly, if the Lord of Mortal World's temper was worse, he could even make the entire world, only the Extreme Light Sect could break through to the Third Realm.

In this way, the Extreme Light Sect could even control other major forces and prevent them from cultivating for many years.

For example, if a force controlled the Qi Refinement Realm, you had to pay taxes according to time before you could cultivate normally.

If you didn't pay taxes, you would be an evil sect and would be killed.

Controlling the entire world, similar to the Heavenly Court?

This was ridiculous.

At that time, the Extreme Light Sect should have been trying to control the entire world and even succeeded for a period of time.

Chen Qing also felt more and more that it wasn't that this world had never been unified, but that something went wrong later on, causing the Extreme Light Sect to fall apart.

It was also at this time that Chen Qing realized how terrifying and huge the predecessor of the Extreme Light Sect was.

It was a behemoth that covered the heavens.

It was a terrifying force that once completely controlled a realm.

It was a pity that the Lord of Mortal World didn't understand the situation. It was no longer the ancient era, yet he still dared to play like this.

Trying to restore the glory of the Extreme Light Sect was simply courting death.

Chen Qing was different. Even if he really became the Lord of Mortal World in the future, he would only do it secretly.

Why did he make it so obvious?

Wasn't this clearly courting death?

Those in the Profound Martial Realm had at least a few hundred years of lifespan, as for those in higher realms, their lifespan would naturally be even longer.

If they couldn't advance for 60 years, there would only be a gap of 60 years, and the extent of the impact wouldn't even be 60 years.

This would only affect the low-level cultivators of other forces, and it was of no use to the real powerhouses.

On the contrary, it would attract countless hatred.

In fact, other than the Ghost Face Realm, cultivators of other realms couldn't enter the Death Realm, but there was a way to control this realm again.

That was to let the position of the Lord of Mortal World be passed down from generation to generation.

For example, after Chen Qing stayed in the Death Realm for 30 years and completely established the structure of the Death Realm, he would then choose a successor who could suppress everyone.

In that case, he would be able to hold the fort for another few decades.

Even if he left the Death Realm, the power of control would still be in his hands, and the other major forces wouldn't dare to make a move against him.

Of course, this was only a distraction.

At this point, Ji Ru continued, "By the way, an ancient prince has awakened from his slumber in the pages of history."

"This Prince of Gu is extraordinarily talented. The previous Donghua Emperor once said that if no one in the imperial clan could inherit the throne, this Prince of Gu would be awakened."

"Let him inherit the position of Emperor Dong Hua. Although there are not many talents in the imperial family, the princes are all talented, so it is not considered a generation gap," Ye Futian said.

"It's very likely that the Ancient Prince woke up in order to deal with the unknown Lord of Mortal World."

Xu Yaofeng exclaimed, "Has Da Wu already made a move?"

"Looks like we're not the only ones who can deduce this."

"After experiencing the great calamity of the Lord of the Mortal World last time, I'm afraid that many major forces will send out the geniuses sealed in the pages of history to stop the Lord of the Mortal World from trying to control the Death Realm."

Chen Qing could feel his scalp turning numb. He was only at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, but the number of people targeting him had already increased.

Was it necessary?

Sigh, my health isn't good, and my head hurts badly.

I'll make up for it tomorrow.
