Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Nineteen years ago, Yan Shiying was twelve years old.

On the day his sister was born, his mother died in childbirth.

The next day, his sister was taken away by King City.

The Tiger Hunting Tribe was compensated because his sister was a mutant. Yan Shiying received good cultivation resources.

Eighteen years ago, he went to the top tribes, hoping that they could save his sister.

But it was useless.

None of his pleas were answered.

As for his father, he had also mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

From then on, he understood a principle.

He could only rely on himself.

Therefore, every time he went to see his sister, even if he saw that she was drugged and would never grow up, he would smile and tell her to listen to his grandson.

His grandson was very satisfied. He felt that Yan Shiying was a sensible person and rewarded him a lot.

Three years ago, he successfully took his sister out and gained his grandson's trust.

Now, he had relied on the promise that everyone who followed him, regardless of whether they were from different tribes or clans, would have an equal opportunity to enter the Death Reign and advance to the Profound Gate Realm. He had gained the following of thousands of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But this was not enough. It was not enough for him to use his grandson as a puppet in the future.

It was not enough for him to keep his sister safe forever.

At this moment, Miao Shen's Weapon Grandmaster incarnation woke up.

He saw an opportunity again.

He wanted to lead Southern Li's Foundation Establishment to fight for control in the Death Realm and make great achievements under the watch of Miao Shen's incarnation!

The Aurora Sect could not protect the Lord of the Mortal World, but it did not mean that Miao Shen could not protect him.

Southern Li was a magical land. It nurtured a group of scholars who loved ink and painting, but they did not lack the courage to die in glory.

Moreover, Southern Li's structure was completely different from the other forces. It was more like a military country.

Daliu and Western Desert were more inclined to fight one-on-one and cultivate themselves.

Southern Li was more inclined to large-scale battles.

In fact, this model was not very suitable in the cultivation world.

It was extremely contradictory, but it coexisted.

Just like Yan Shiying, he was extremely contradictory. He only wanted to protect his sister from being bullied, but he was forced to move forward by worldly affairs, to the point where he had thousands of followers now.

He was a person who saw through success and failure very clearly. He did not care about the methods used. He only saw defeat.

Therefore, when he saw Chen Qing carrying Zhang Can on his back, Yan Shiying's gaze was slightly disdainful. "You can't even protect yourself, yet you want to bring someone along?"

Chen Qing actually admired Yan Shiying very much. He was not afraid of the large number of enemies around him and walked towards Yan Shiying.

With a wave of his hand, he swept away the sand and dust in front of him and put down a bamboo mat. Then, he carried Zhang Can, who was still bleeding, and sat on one side of the bamboo mat. After that, he took out a wine pot.

Chen Qing said, "I'll provide the wine, you provide the wine cup."

Yan Shiying didn't suspect anything. He swept the cloak behind his back and sat down on the other side of the bamboo mat.

One side offered wine, while the other side offered wine cups. Neither side was worried that the other side would poison them.

Yan Shiying waved her hand and shot out two fingers. Without needing to say anything, the malnourished yellow-haired little girl came forward with a pair of bronze wine cups.

Chen Qing picked up the wine jug and filled the wine cup. "I actually admire you very much. You're very similar to me."

Yan Shiying looked at Chen Qing with some doubt. Chen Qing said, "I have a younger brother who is also a mutant."

Yan Shiying's expression changed slightly as she looked at Chen Qing. However, Chen Qing continued, "However, I can't tell you what's so special about him."

Yan Shiying suddenly felt a little lonely. "You protected him, but I didn't protect my sister. Perhaps, this is the difference between you and me."

Therefore, between them, Chen Qing was still focused on cultivation, while Yan Shiying was obsessed with achievements. Moreover, he was willing to pay any price.

Chen Qing raised his cup. "You and I will compete. If I win in the future, I guarantee that your sister will be happy for the rest of her life. I will never go against her wishes."

Yan Shiying also raised her cup. "If I meet your brother in the future, I will not hurt him."

Yan Sisi's whirlpool eyes looked at Chen Qing. Suddenly, a trace of blood slowly seeped out from the corner of her eyes. She pointed at Chen Qing. "Brother, he must die."

Yan Shiying smiled. "I know."

The two clinked their cups and drank. Yan Shiying smiled. "After this cup of wine, you and I will be mortal enemies. I will not show any mercy."

Chen Qing said, "If I escape today, I will definitely invite you to hunt Southern Li when I come back."

Yan Shiying was an extremely terrifying opponent. If he attacked, he would decide the outcome with a single move.

Once he attacked, he would kill the three strongest geniuses of Wu Country in one fell swoop.

Before this, neither the Vast Tribe nor the Hidden Sword Mountain had noticed.

There was no warning.

In the city, Lu Xian was standing on a high platform, making his final mobilization.

"Everyone, the Vast Tribe has raised me for so many years. It's time for us to show our loyalty to the Vast Tribe!"

"In this battle, we must let the Young Lord and the Guardian leave safely. If they survive, the Vast Tribe will still exist!"

"Southern Li has never lacked brave warriors who are not afraid of death!"

Lu Xian actually didn't care about Hao Chengtian's life or death. He only cared about Chen Qing.

Although Chen Qing might not even know his name.

However, this was not important.

Success did not depend on him. There was no need to leave his name in history.

Only the Polar Light Sect would exist forever!

Lu Xian glanced sideways and glanced at Yan Shiying's Foundation Establishment army outside from the corner of his eye. There were so many of them. The possibility of the Polar Light Sect not being among them was zero.

However, none of these guys had reported to the Polar Light Sect. This was enough to show how powerful Yan Shiying's personal charm was.

They were leaving.

Lu Xian roared with all his might, "Fight to the death!"

Yu Chengfeng took the lead and shouted, "Fight to the death!"

More than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators shouted in unison, "Fight to the death!"

However, in the midst of these roars, more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators at the front took half a step back.

Lu Xian saw it, but he couldn't say anything at this moment. If he did, it would mess up the minds of the people in front of him.

He turned his head and drew his sword, leading everyone out of the city gate. Chen Qing had just finished talking with Yan Shiying and was walking back.

Lu Xian said, "Young Lord, Guardian, leave quickly. We will stay here to block the enemy!"

Hao Chengtian nodded slightly. "Then I'll leave it to you. Lu Xian, don't worry. When we make a comeback, we will definitely avenge all of you!"

Lu Xian, however, threw his head back and laughed. He reached out and took out a bronze grimace mask. "Only the Polar Light Sect would exist forever!"

"Sir, we will wait for you in the Death Realm."

After saying that, he drew his sword and rushed out first.

Behind him, thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators took out a bronze grimace mask and put it on their faces. "Sir, we will wait for you in the Death Realm!"

Chen Qing looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. He suddenly understood that those words were not said to Hao Chengtian, but to himself.

His heart suddenly felt heavy.

Chen Qing turned around and strode toward the city, wanting to escape.

Hao Chengtian hurriedly followed him, but he kept looking back. The dozen people wearing bronze ghost masks had already been stabbed several times, but they were still fighting desperately.

The people of the Vast Sky Tribe finally caught up and fought with the six hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Sword light filled the air like a storm. The entire city gate was suddenly filled with blood and gore, turning into a battlefield that was like a meat grinder.

Dozens of years of cultivation, outstanding talents who had once surpassed their peers, came to a sad end here.

Yan Shiying charged into the crowd with his saber, slaughtering like a ferocious tiger. Every slash of his saber was followed by a bloody head.

Killing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was as easy as slaughtering a dog in his hands.

Hao Chengtian suddenly understood that Yan Shiying was the first person in the Wu Kingdom to understand what a chaotic world was. He understood it.

Fighting for supremacy in a chaotic world was never a challenge or a one-on-one fight. It was the destruction of fresh lives under the butcher's saber.

He couldn't bear to watch anymore and quickly caught up with Chen Qing. The two crossed a hundred feet in one step.

Ten miles out of the back city gate, they could still hear the deafening battle cries at the city gate of the Vast Universe Tribe.

"How did the cultivation world become like this just because the Lord of the Mortal World entered the Death Realm?"

Even the Vast Universe Tribe was not spared.

Chen Qing didn't waste time and asked, "Hao Chengtian, where should we go now?"

Hao Chengtian wasn't angry because Chen Qing called him by his name. Under his leadership, the Vast Universe Tribe's Foundation Establishment Cultivators were probably all dead. He really didn't have the right to call himself Young Master anymore.

"Go to the Abundant Sun Tribe. They are loyal to the Vast Universe Tribe, so we should be able to borrow troops. Also, tell them to hide in the mountains for a while."

"To avoid any mishaps!"

Chen Qing nodded. "Lead the way. I'll treat Zhang Can's injuries."

He waved his hand and rolled up a ball of vitality from the ground. Chen Qing sent it into Zhang Can's body. The two ran quickly and arrived at the Abundant Sun Tribe in less than twelve hours.

It was late at night, and the Abundant Sun Tribe was quiet. Chen Qing was suspicious. He sent out a powerful perception to sense the situation in the tribe, but it was blocked by the tribe's formation.

Left with no choice, he could only continue to approach the Abundant Sun Tribe. However, Chen Qing had long been on his guard and was ready to use the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth.

When the two of them arrived in front of the Cornucopia Tribe, they saw a white banner hanging on the gate of the Cornucopia Tribe.

[Hao Chengtian, Qing Xu, died under this door!]

As soon as they finished reading, they saw hundreds of torches lit up on the mountain where the Bountiful Sun Tribe lived.

A man with a golden fish-scaled spear in his hand slowly came down from the stairs of the Bumper Sun Clan's mountain, which was covered with broken corpses. This man looked no more than thirty years old.

His face was extremely ferocious, as if he could eat three children in one meal.

His belly was round, and he was clad in black armor, which added to his dignified aura.

"I am the Xuan Pass Army Chou Ying. I have been waiting here for a long time under Lord Yan Shiying's orders!"

He galloped down the mountain as his fat jiggled. "Hao Chengtian, Qing Xu, if you surrender now, I'll even leave your corpses intact!"

Hao Chengtian took a closer look at Chou Ying and said angrily, "Your Pipi Tribe is also a great tribe. You actually surrendered to Yan Shiying, an ordinary tribe?"

Chou Ying laughed. "I was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Pipi Tribe. I was just waiting to die for the Pipi Tribe!"

"It was Lord Miao who gave me a way out. He gave me the chance to cultivate to the Profound Gate Realm!"

"I despise successors of large tribes like you the most. Why should we die when only you have the chance to cultivate to the Profound Gate Realm?"

"What kind of logic is this?"

"Lord Miao said that we should be our own masters. We will never be the dogs of large tribes!"

"We are only followers of God Miao!"

"As long as we follow Lord Miao, everyone will have the chance to cultivate to the Profound Gate Realm!"

Chen Qing suddenly understood why Yan Shiying rose so quickly. The Lord of Mortal World's entry into the Death Realm was only the reason.

The real reason was that the various large factions were intertwined. The cultivation opportunities and resources were basically fixed.

For ordinary cultivators, reaching Foundation Establishment was almost the end of their cultivation path.

Cultivators, on the other hand, did not lack the will to resist.

In this world, there was never a lack of nobles.

Yan Shiying was indeed a hero!

But what were Wang Cheng and God Miao planning to do?

Chen Qing felt that he could not understand the thoughts of the gods.

What was Wang Cheng thinking?

Letting the entire Wu Country fight to the death?

Chen Qing suddenly felt that the various factions were starting to go crazy. Were they really fighting for the control of the Death Realm?

At this moment, Chen Qing did not feel that he was the variable that would cause a huge change in the world.

At best, he had opened a door to the void.

Hao Chengtian looked at the blood flowing down the steps and gradually converging into a stream.

"You slaughtered the entire Abundant Sun Tribe?"

Chou Ying shook his head. "No!"

He pointed at the fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators behind Chen Qing. "These are all loyal people who can distinguish right from wrong. They surrendered to us!"

Over a hundred torches. Chen Qing looked around. Over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators had already surrounded them.

If they really fought, Chen Qing believed that even if he was no match for them, he could still escape safely.

But now, he did not have the time!

With Yan Shiying's strength, he probably had already taken over the Vast Sun Tribe's big city and was now leading an army here.

Hao Chengtian said angrily, "You started a war in the entire Wu Country. Aren't you afraid of Wang Cheng's anger?"

Chou Ying laughed. "Yan Shiying is Wang Cheng's man. We are following the imperial edict. You are the traitors!"

Hao Chengtian immediately understood. So that was the case.

Wang Cheng's grandson was probably just a puppet in Yan Shiying's hands.

Could it be that the royal family was actually able to tolerate this? Or could it be that the royal family was planning something else?

But this was not something he could think about now.

Chen Qing shouted, "Kill them all!"

He took out a spiritual pearl and put it in his mouth. Chen Qing immediately used Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth. He grabbed Zhang Can with his left hand and slapped Chou Ying with his right hand!

Chou Ying raised his spear and charged forward on his horse, thrusting it towards Chen Qing's big hand!

Under the terrifying pressure, the fat on Chou Ying's body vibrated and deflected the force that could smash a small mountain!

Chou Ying's horse flew into the air and slashed at Chen Qing with his spear. The phantom of a Pixiu appeared and was about to bite Chen Qing.

Chen Qing could feel the danger. This Pixiu's ability was similar to his snake butterfly. It should be a Gu worm of the devouring path!

Chen Qing immediately waved his left sleeve and absorbed the Pixiu phantom. Then, he slapped at Chou Ying again!

After sending Chou Ying flying with a single palm strike, Chou Ying's warhorse had already been crushed into meat paste. However, all of Chou Ying's fat body trembled as he channeled all of the boundless energy into his body. There were no injuries on his body.

Chen Qing's expression changed slightly. "You know my methods. That's why you sent someone like you who can counter me to wait here!"

Chou Ying laughed loudly. "It's good that you know. Hurry up and surrender!"

"With your strength, as long as you are willing to submit to the lord, your position will be higher than mine!"

I've rested enough. Tomorrow, I'll recover and update two chapters a day.

Do Your Best.
