Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 135: The Flames of War Will Burn Until the End of Heaven and Earth

Chen Qing arrived at Linglong Divine Palace with ease. After looking around and making sure there was no one else, he prepared to continue his exploration.

After all, Wu Shang's cultivation was low. He was at most in the third or fourth level of the Energy Refining realm.

He wanted to eliminate all the dangers in the periphery before Wu Shang came here.

At the same time, he wanted to see if he could gain anything.

An income of fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones a day was still acceptable to him.

Of course, this was only if he could gain something. Most of the time, he would return empty-handed.

Walking among the palaces and pavilions in the periphery, Chen Qing found that the people of Linglong Divine Palace worshipped Taotie. There were totems of Taotie in many places.

Chen Qing had even seen a portrait of Taotie's true body on the offering table.

It was normal for people of Linglong Divine Palace who had opened the Body Daoist Scripture to cultivate Divine Abilities and Magical Arts to worship Taotie.

After all, like Taotie, they could eat quite a lot.

Well, they could fight quite well too.

There was a pavilion in front of him. He pushed open the door and entered the front yard of the pavilion. Most of the traces were already rotten. There was a rusty well made of some unknown spirit metal.

It was still possible to tell that it was a well.

Chen Qing was especially vigilant about wells after going to the Immortal Island.

In this world of cultivation, wells seemed to have a special meaning. They represented a special Dao.

With a wave of his sleeve, Chen Qing released an evil spirit from his sleeve. "Go down and scout the path for me."

This evil spirit was caught by Chen Qing on the way here. It had done many evil things. Chen Qing wanted to make the best use of it, so he let it scout for him.

After a while, the evil spirit came out of the well.

"It's a big star. I didn't see any other ghosts."

Chen Qing didn't believe this evil spirit. He waved his sleeve and jumped into the well.

He was relying on this: If this evil spirit could come back safely, he could also come back safely.

After entering the dry well, the scene in front of him changed greatly. This place was also a big star. Compared to the barren big star from before, this big star was very cold.

Chen Qing just landed, and a layer of white frost formed on his hair.

There was an unknown skeleton in front of him. Chen Qing walked up and picked it up to take a look. This skeleton looked like the skeleton of some ancient alligator.

Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, about three zhang long, and its bones were golden. It could be seen that this alligator was extremely extraordinary when it was alive. At the very least, it was a pure-blooded beast.

However, with the passage of time, they had already turned into skeletons.

Could it be that Linglong Divine Palace had been wiped out?

How could such a powerful ancient force be wiped out so cleanly and cleanly?

With this doubt in mind, Chen Qing walked on this vast planet filled with cold air.

The great star was about the size of a mountain, but it did not belong to the earth. Chen Qing could not use his perception to see through it, so he could only search for the treasures or scriptures left behind.

Arriving in front of a frozen pond, Chen Qing stretched out his hand and knocked on the mirror-like layer of ice on the surface of the pond. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If there was a layer of ice, there might be a sealed ancient spirit seed!

Pushing aside the frost and snow on the ice, Chen Qing could clearly see a jade-like lotus root sealed under the ice.

This was the Jade Lotus Root?

Although it was not a treasure, it was still a rare item among spirit herbs.

Chen Qing broke the ice with a punch and stretched out his hand to pick up the Jade Lotus Root, which was as thick as a baby's arm. In less than ten breaths of time, it quickly decayed in his hand.

"What a pity. It was destroyed by the passage of time."

He broke the ice one by one. After fifteen minutes, the Jade Lotus Root that he picked up had decayed one by one.

Fortunately, Chen Qing found three frozen lotus seeds in the ice.

Holding them in his hand, Chen Qing carefully sensed them. With his sharp perception of spirit herbs, he said, "There is still life!"

"I should be able to grow them if I bring them back!"

"When Senior Brother Xiao comes, I will let him take care of them."

After carefully putting away the three lotus seeds, Chen Qing came to the only house on this cold planet. It was made of ice, and after so many years, he could still barely make out its shape.

With a wave of his sleeve, Chen Qing walked in and picked up a jade slip. It described some of the things that the owner of this place saw when he went to the Thousand Goblins Royal Court.

It was not very useful, and it only broadened his knowledge about the Thousand Goblins Royal Court.

As for now, where was the Thousand Goblins Royal Court?

Putting down the jade slip, Chen Qing looked elsewhere. There were three jade slips without a single word.

There were only three Gu worms at the side.

Feather Gu?

Evolved from the Fuyao Scripture?

After contracting this kind of Gu worm, one would have a pair of wings and could fly at an extraordinary speed in the Qi Refinement Realm.

For the Qi Refinement Realm, it was a very good Gu worm. Unfortunately, it was not a Spirit Gu to Chen Qing.

After collecting these three Gu worms, Chen Qing left the cold planet again. He jumped out of the well and walked elsewhere.

After exploring for a while, he did not find anything. Chen Qing returned to Nine River City and prepared to sleep.

"Sigh, if I sleep now, I can only sleep for six hours before the sun rises."

"Cultivation is really not easy!"

"I will rest for today and go again tomorrow night."

Chen Qing finally slept in. When he woke up, he used a thousand kilograms of spirit herbs as breakfast and prepared to cultivate. After cultivating for two hours, Jiang Yuhu came to see him.

"Lord, I found traces of Nine Lightning Purple Cloud Energy!"

Chen Qing was pleasantly surprised. It was a Spirit Gu, and a Spirit Light Gu at that. It was an extremely precious treasure.

There were many things that couldn't be bought with money.

"Which department?"

Jiang Yuhu cupped his fists and said, "Bi 'an Division!"

"Rumor has it that the spirit beasts of Bi 'an Division swallow heaven and earth and condense some Nine Lightning Purple Cloud Energy!"

Chen Qing thought for a moment. "Bi 'an Division is a large one. I am afraid it will be difficult."

"Go and ask around. Find out what is lacking in the Bi 'an Division."

After instructing Jiang Yuhu, Chen Qing cultivated for another four hours and went to take care of the thirty mu of spirit fields. Only then did he return to his residence and continue to meet the production type cultivators with Gu worms.

At night, before Chen Qing prepared to go to Ling Long Divine Palace, he thought that Wei Qingchen was the only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

For something like purchasing Nine Lightning Purple Cloud Energy, it was better for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to do it.

If you sent a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, they would not care.

Secondly, it was very risky to send a team of Qi Refinement Realm cultivators with large amounts of spirit stones for the transaction.

It was better to have more Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Fortunately, among the eleven Extreme Light Sect cultivators under him, Mei Zuochen would soon reach Foundation Establishment Realm. There were also a few others.

As for the original eight from Iron Flow Valley, their cultivation was too low. The highest among them was only Qi Refinement Realm level nine.

On the other hand, Primary Martial Extreme had some hope, but Primary Martial Extreme had obtained a spirit Gu and might want to use it to establish his foundation. The difficulty of establishing foundation with a spirit Gu was much higher, and it would take a long time before he dared to establish his foundation.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing instructed: "Miao Xian, send someone to the five Tiger Chiefs who are about to establish their foundation and send thirty thousand low grade spirit stones to each of them. Tell them it is for me to help them establish their foundation."

Now that he had more spirit stones and spirit herbs, he could not finish them for the time being, it was enough to support Chen Qing's extravagant spending.

Life with Spirit Stone Flowers was really comfortable.

These few days, Chen Qing explored Ling Long Divine Palace while nurturing people and arranging for the next season's spirit herbs.

June 15th, night.

Chen Qing consumed two hundred and fifty kilograms of spirit herbs and started cultivating again. After cultivating for four hours, Chen Qing opened his eyes in satisfaction.

"It is time to attend the gathering."

And six hours ago.

Xu Yaofeng submitted the document for his ten years of cultivation and immediately left for the Extreme Light Sect's branch near Ye City after receiving the approval.

After walking ten li out of Ye City, Xu Yaofeng could not suppress the death aura on his body, his face was extremely pale as if it was covered in a layer of frost.

"Extreme Light Sect has an extraordinary foundation, they are actually willing to give me a thousand year lifespan Gu to sever my nine blades!"

"One lifetime in a hundred years, severing nine blades is severing nine lifetimes, this is already the limit."

"But it makes sense, if the lord of the mortal world did not sever his nine blades, how can others believe I am the true lord of the mortal world?"

Hundred year lifespan Gu, each one was priceless.

And thousand year lifespan Gu was a rare treasure even in legends.

Lifespan Gu were ten year lifespan Gu, hundred year lifespan Gu, and thousand year lifespan Gu.

As for ten thousand year lifespan Gu, Xu Yaofeng had never heard of it, even in legends.

Each lifespan Gu could only be used once, that is to say, it could at most increase one's lifespan by one thousand and one hundred and ten years.

A treasure like thousand year lifespan Gu, even if the entire Extreme Light Sect took out one, it would be a huge loss.

When he asked for a thousand year lifespan Gu, Extreme Light Sect's higher-ups were initially unwilling.

But considering what Xu Yaofeng wanted to do, the final request was to defeat Western Desert's Bozi.

Xu Yaofeng did not accept the job and directly revealed his Light Butterfly.

After seeing Xu Yaofeng's light butterfly, Extreme Light Sect's higher-ups asked him to wait. In the end, only a month later, they sent him a thousand year lifespan Gu to extend his lifespan or cut his lifespan.

Every time he severed his blade, he severed his own life. His entire being would transform and sublimate, getting closer to the Great Dao.

After severing nine blades, Xu Yaofeng felt that he was extremely compatible with this world as he walked. It was as if he had cultivated for nine lifetimes.

The Spirit Qi in his body had also become more condensed. There was an additional Dao Rhyme that had been accumulated over time, far surpassing that of an ordinary Ghost Face Realm cultivator.

After severing nine blades, his physical body had become more refined. It was as if he had the body of a ghost god, forged from copper and iron.

With a single raise of his arm, he had the strength of one Dragon.

When they arrived at the Extreme Light Sect's branch, there were already 18 people waiting there.

The black pagoda tree was covered with white pagoda flowers.

Under the rain of sophora flowers that filled the sky, a high-ranking member of the Extreme Light Cult wearing a golden ghost mask slowly walked towards him. "Yao Feng, do you know what you're going to do in the Death Realm?"

Xu Yaofeng stood against the wind. "Slay the dragon race!"

"I'm going to the Death Realm to slay the Dragon!"

"To avenge the battle three hundred years ago for my Extreme Light Cult!"

The old man wearing a golden ghost mask laughed. "Alright, this is the treasured saber that my Extreme Light Cult has bestowed upon you. Although it's not a king venomous insect, it has the power to break a king. It's called Dragon Slaying."

"It's not a king venomous insect, but it can block a king's aura. Especially, it can break a dragon's aura. I'll leave it to you."

Xu Yaofeng stepped forward and opened the box in the old man's hand. He saw a golden treasured saber lying inside. The saber's body was slender and cold.

He reached out and held it. Soon, he formed a contract with this spirit-grade saber venomous insect.

He equipped this treasured saber on his waist. The Ghost Gate in front had already opened under the sacrifice of hundreds of Extreme Light Cult, overflowing with dense death energy like black fog.

As Xu Yaofeng walked, a Ghost Face Mask had already appeared on his face.

This was not the Extreme Light Cult's ghost mask, but the Ghost Face Mask that he obtained after severing himself. It symbolized his cultivation base.

Only a Foundation Realm cultivator who had severed at least seven blades would have such a Ghost Face Mask.

Those below seven blades were all Ghost General Masks.

Ghost General Masks also appeared on the faces of the eighteen people behind him.

When the Ghost Gate opened, Xu Yaofeng was the first to walk in. He only felt that there was nothing under his feet, and then he came to a completely unfamiliar place.

This place was full of devastation. Everything was the scene of death. There was no breath of life, only endless death.

The death energy was so dense that it was like a fog drifting in all directions. The clouds in the sky were riddled with holes.

The short mountain was broken inch by inch. The broken wall and the withered tomb burning with blue flames were entwined together.

The Ghost Face Realm cultivator of the Extreme Light Cult, who had been waiting here for a long time, did not care much at first. He was still cursing, "God damn it. It's just a few Ghost Face Realm cultivators. Why do I have to personally greet them?"

"Don't you know that Ghost Face Realm cultivators' time is precious?"

"I only have thirty years left to live, and you want me to do this?"

However, after seeing Xu Yaofeng appear, he dared not say any more nonsense. This was because a Ghost King had appeared in front of him.

Xu Yaofeng stepped forward. The eighteen people behind him rushed out together. They took out pieces of scattered palanquin and pieced them together. After a while, they put together a palanquin the size of a house.

Xu Yaofeng looked at the Ghost Face Realm waiting for him and asked, "How many people are there in the Dragon Clan now?"

"Eight hundred people in the headquarters."

Xu Yaofeng continued to ask, "How many people do we have?"

"Twelve hundred people in the headquarters."

Xu Yaofeng nodded in satisfaction. He walked up to the palanquin lifted by eighteen people. He took out the Mortal World Token that represented his identity as the Lord of Mortal World and threw it to the Ghost Face Realm, "Tell everyone that the Lord of Mortal World is back. Tell everyone to come and greet me."

"Tell them that the Death Realm belongs to our Extreme Light Cult."

"And now, I'm going to take back the Death Realm that belongs to us!"

The Ghost Face Realm cultivator holding the Mortal World Token trembled slightly. He suddenly felt that a general trend was coming towards him.

The war was about to begin.

Moreover, once this war began, it would not end for decades.

The flames of war would continue to burn, burning this already dead world. The flames of war would burn to the end of heaven and earth.

Until this world ushered in its true master.

Sitting in the huge palanquin, Xu Yaofeng waved his hand and hid the Ghost King Mask into his body.

He rubbed his face. It was time to go to the party.

He withdrew his power just now. After making sure that he had become the cautious Yao Feng again and not the heroic and domineering Xu Yaofeng, he put on the bronze grimace mask.

He glanced around. Ji Ru had already arrived.

After a while, Murong Lang and Hu Yao also arrived.

The four of them did not say a word. They quietly waited for the true master of this place to arrive.

They wanted to listen to the will of The Beginning.

First, the first two chapters are two in one.
