Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 156: Hu Yao's Strange Path to Becoming a King

In two days, six large tribes had brought their Foundation Establishment cultivators to join him.

Including the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Land of Dao and Tao Wu Tribe, Chen Qing now had nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators under his command.

A mere hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators might not be much in front of the Xuan Guan Army, which had the power to sweep through the entire Wu Country. However, this was still a good start.

Late at night, after Chen Qing received a large tribe's Foundation Establishment cultivators, he returned to his room.

He took out the golden grimace mask and looked at it for a long time.

He didn't know what was waiting for him behind the mask.

There was no reaction when he took out the Void Flower.

He put away the Void Flower, then picked up the golden grimace mask and put it on.

He appeared on the cloud platform again. Different from the cloud platform where the bronze grimace mask appeared before, he was in the main seat.

On his left, a man wearing a silver grimace mask had been waiting for a long time.

Death Omen looked at Chen Qing curiously, "I thought you would come here a few days later."

Chen Qing glanced around. There were only the two of them here.

Death Omen said, "Don't worry, your identity is top secret. No more than five people know your identity."

"So, the sect sent me, the Aurora Sect's manager of Wu Country, to be in charge of contacting you."

Chen Qing asked, "Why do I have to lead the army? Is there no one else in Aurora Sect?"

Death Omen said leisurely, "Shang Tong and Xu Yaofeng, who are qualified for this task, have already entered the Death Realm to cover for you."

"Moreover, Yan Shiying's sudden attack was indeed unexpected by our Aurora Sect."

"It happened so suddenly. There's no other way."

Chen Qing asked again, "How much power do I have in Aurora Sect?"

Death Omen said, "The Taoist Ma Yuan who met you can mobilize the entire Aurora Sect in Wu Country."

"And now, he will always listen to your orders."

Chen Qing felt a little better, "What about Eight Li outside Wu Country?"

Death Omen said with interest, "You want the whole South Li?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "Just asking."

Death Omen said, "That depends on the progress of Ji Chang."

"Ji Chang was recommended by the Great Liao, the Immortal Court, the Celestial Master Residence, and the Dragon Palace to kill you."

"As his forces grow stronger, we will continue to strengthen your forces to ensure that you have the strength to fight him."

Chen Qing asked again, "Why did God Miao's incarnation awaken?"

Death Omen hesitated for a moment and said, "Because it involves the battle for the Heaven's Will."

"Two thousand five hundred years ago, Ji Chang almost triggered the Heaven's Will. This is also the reason why so many aristocratic families in Great Liao joined him."

Chen Qing asked doubtfully, "Tianming?

What destiny? "

Death Omen said: "One of the strongest Gu Kings, the extreme of strength path among the Gu Kings, its name is Six Paths Demon God."

"Once you form a contract with the Demonic God of Samsara, your body will possess the power of the Demonic God."

"Once you're recognized by the Demon God of Six Paths, you'll have the chance to become one of the Nine Kings of Nanli."

"According to the sect's calculation, the battle for the Death Realm this time has a high probability of attracting the venomous insect king."

"The King Gu is a special kind of Gu worm. It will meet with the times and serve the person with the strongest King Qi as its master."

"Our Aurora Sect wants to create a new king."

"Great Liao also wants to create a new king."

"You and Ji Chang are the focus of our competition."

"Ji Chang is likely to have a cicada Gu worm that can accelerate the passage of time."

"And you have the Law Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to improve yourself."

"Like the Law Embodiment of Heaven and Earth and the cicada Gu worm, they're all explosive spells. The stronger the body, the stronger the spell."

"Whether it's you or Ji Chang, once you get the Demon God of Six Paths, you'll have a qualitative change and become a real monster."

"You'll have the qualification to ascend to the throne."

Chen Qing asked doubtfully, "I've seen Li Chonghuan's Gu King. Why can he be recognized by it?"

Death Omen laughed: "How can it be compared?

Li Chonghuan is a born noble with the Three Yang True Blood. He's born with the King Qi. "

"The dignified Immortal Court only produces one every eight hundred years."

The power of the Gu King was needless to say. Li Chonghuan's dantian alone was three more than others, and these three dantians were extraordinary.

Death Omen continued: "But you don't have to worry. If you can get the Demon God of Six Paths and use it with your Law Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, Li Chonghuan may not be your opponent."

"In fact, what they're fighting for is not only the control of the Death Realm, but also the Mandate of Heaven!"

"This is a battle for the Mandate of Heaven!"

"This is also the reason why Wang Cheng and Miao Shen don't care about the Foundation Establishment of Southern Li."

"With the current Southern Li, it's not enough to select a peerless genius who can compete with Ji Chang."

"So Wang Cheng and Miao Shen are speeding up this process, hoping that there will be a person who can compete with Ji Chang for the Mandate of Heaven in the endless battle."

Chen Qing asked: "You mean, except for fighting for the Mandate of Heaven, there's almost no way for an ordinary cultivator like me to be recognized by the Gu King?"

Death Omen nodded, "You can understand it that way."

"The Gu King is not a mortal Gu, nor is it a spiritual Gu. It has its own pride and will only follow the person with the King Qi."

Hearing this, Chen Qing finally understood why the whole world had changed so much and why all the Foundation Establishment cultivators were crazy.

Why was Yan Shiying so bold, why did Southern Li's ruler not care at all?

Compared to the descendants that he didn't even know, the appearance of a new king was far more valuable than their value.

This would even change the situation of the whole world to a certain extent.

Ji Chang wanted to become the next Peacock King?

Hearing this, Chen Qing was also slightly tempted.

King grade Gu had the strongest strength path, Six Path Demonic God.

It was indeed very compatible with his Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth.

Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth could increase his strength by several times!

Moreover, this was very likely to be his only chance to obtain a king grade Gu other than his life-bound light butterfly.

Elephant King Scripture could only subdue a king grade sword Gu, it could only suppress it and not contract it.

Moreover, Chen Qing did not have the ability to suppress a king grade sword Gu.

The starting point of a king grade Gu was never the rank of a Gu, it was very likely to be of Dao Integration Realm or even higher!

Hearing this, Chen Qing started to get serious.

After bidding farewell to Death Omen, Chen Qing took off the golden ghost mask and kept it in his body. He went straight out to find Zhang Can.

"Brother Zhang, I will leave for a few days. You stay here and take care of those Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to join us!"

Zhang Can had been busy with these matters these few days. He knew that Chen Qing had Extreme Light Sect behind him, he guessed that Chen Qing was going to do some secret things.

Thus, he did not ask. "Sure, I will stay here, you don't have to worry."

After meeting with the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to join him, Chen Qing went out and walked for less than a hundred li in the night. He used his sharp senses to discover a Foundation Establishment evil ghost.

This place was quiet and secluded. Chen Qing stood in front of a waterfall and said loudly: "If you don't come out in ten breaths, I will destroy your soul!"

When the armored headless horseman riding a white bone warhorse walked out of the mercury waterfall, Chen Qing grabbed him.

He immediately took out a pot, turned it into a black fish, and threw it into the pot.

After drinking the fish soup, Chen Qing was slightly dazed and let it out.

The Headless Horseman's resentment disappeared, and he felt relaxed. He had obtained a peace that he had not had for decades.

"Thank you, Lord Gehenna, for helping me escape from the sea of suffering!"

Chen Qing ordered, "Go, order all the Foundation Establishment evil spirits in Nanli Martial Kingdom to come to the land of Dao Source and worship me."

"Within half a year, if I meet anyone who doesn't come, their souls will be destroyed!"

"You should also know that when the Divine Weapon Treasure World completely descends, without my protection, you will definitely die inside!"

"Go quickly, they still have a chance of survival!"

After the Headless Horseman received the order, he quickly rushed to the hiding place of the Foundation Establishment evil spirits he was familiar with.

If it were other cultivators, the Headless Horseman might struggle, but in front of Chen Qing, he felt as if he had met his natural enemy and could not summon any will to resist.

In terms of battle potential, he was the Lord of Evil Spirits, and he, Chen Qing, was not afraid of anyone.

However, Zhang Can and Yan Bailiang could not suppress those large tribes.

He must have a troop that was stronger than those large tribes.

And these Foundation Establishment evil spirits were the best choice.

Since he had decided to fight, then he would fight for a glorious world!

After walking for thirty miles, he looked at the moon and saw that it was already midnight.

Chen Qing took out the bronze ghost mask and put it on, preparing to participate in this gathering.

After the usual greetings, Xu Yaofeng and Murong Lang asked about the cultivation of Gu worms, let Chen Qing put away the twelve spirit beads again, and then began to chat.

Ji Ru looked around, "I've been very busy recently. I'm looking for the Three Year Cicada Dao Integration item, so I don't have much news."

"However, I feel that Ji Chang is no longer in the Imperial Palace, but somewhere else."

"It's very likely that Ji Chang went out to contact many great families."

Xu Yaofeng said, "Currently, the situation in the Death Realm is stable. The great families and Dragon Palace's forces have shrunk and are not coming out."

"Looking at their current situation, they seem to be waiting for Ji Chang to enter the Death Realm."

"They want to conserve their strength now."

Ji Ru asked, "Can we completely destroy the ghost mask of Dragon Palace?"

Xu Yaofeng shook his head. "It's not that simple."

"That is, after all, an Ancient Dragon. Even though I possess the means to restrain it, it has continued to hide. Thus, there is not much I can do about it."

Surprisingly, Hu Yao said, "The Ji Chang you're talking about seems to be in the Western Desert."

Xu Yaofeng and Ji Ru were both taken aback. Xu Yaofeng asked, "How did you know?"

Hu Yao said awkwardly, "We met by chance, and it's quite similar to what you said."

Ji Ru did not understand. "Why is he going to the Western Desert?"

Xu Yaofeng also felt a headache coming on. "I can't figure out Ji Chang's movements, so I'm in a passive position."

"From the looks of it, we have to do it as soon as possible. We have to completely wipe out the forces of the Dragon Palace before Ji Chang enters the Death World."

"Otherwise, when he also enters the Death Realm, the situation will become extremely disadvantageous!"

Chen Qing listened to their conversation and thought to himself, 'It seems that Yao Feng has also received the news from the Extreme Light Sect and knows that Ji Chang is not easy to deal with.'

After the gathering ended, Chen Qing found a nest of wild beasts and rested for eight hours before setting off once again.

He had only traveled two hundred miles when he saw four members of the Palace Gate Army chasing after a young man.

This young man was quite capable. Even under the encirclement of four Foundation Establishment cultivators, he could still slowly escape. He actually had the ability to escape from the battle.

When the young man saw Chen Qing, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly rushed towards Chen Qing.

"Are you the Guard Lord?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly. "Who are you? How do you know me?"

The young man said, "I'm the successor of the Heavy Cloud Tribe, Yun Zhongque!"

When the four saw Chen Qing from afar, their expressions changed drastically. "It's the Qing Ruins scoundrel!"

"What do we do now?"

"Retreat!"

Chen Qing said sternly, "Since you're already here, don't leave."

"You dared to chase after me back then, so you should be prepared to die in battle today!"

Chen Qing immediately used the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth and the Dragon-capturing Hand. In just four strikes, the four of them were smashed into meat paste!

Chen Qing was no match for an army of a hundred people. However, the four of them were not enough to run amok in front of him.

Yun Zhongque was overjoyed when she saw this. She said, "Thank you for saving us, Guard Lord."

Chen Qing nodded slightly. "Yeah. I've come from the south specifically to save you. Head south quickly and meet up with the army in the land of the sources of dao."

As she watched Chen Qing leave, Yun Zhongque said gently, "With such strength, no wonder that Yan Shiying is so desperate to kill you even if she has to sacrifice everything."

"Come to think of it, only an expert like him can block Yan Shiying's butcher's blade."

During this period of time, Yun Zhongque had been living in constant fear.

Basically the entire martial kingdom was in chaos. There were large tribes that wanted to invade the south.

There were large tribes that were attacked on the day they went south, but they were slaughtered by Yan Shiying on the same day.

There had never been any right or wrong in chaotic times. It all depended on who had the blade.

Under such a dangerous situation, Yun Zhongque's only chance at survival was to head south.

Even Yun Zhongque had never thought that the situation in the Southern Li Martial Kingdom would end up in the hands of two people from ordinary large tribes.

Chen Qing and Yan Shiying did not come from good backgrounds. As a matter of fact, they could not even be considered as ordinary large tribes.

Yan Shiying was born from a concubine. Strictly speaking, Chen Qing had married into the family.

However, Hao Chengtian, who came from the best family, had already died. Zhang Can had also expressed his desire to follow Chen Qing.

Yun Zhongque could not help but sigh. "The times really make heroes!"

At this moment, Hu Yaowei followed Ji Chang's footsteps. To her surprise, she could pick up many Foundation Establishment monsters that Ji Chang had defeated along the way.

Ji Chang's main target was geniuses, not these ordinary Foundation Establishment monsters.

Leading a group of twelve Foundation Establishment monsters, they had traveled less than thirty miles when they saw an old bull in front of them.

This old bull was three feet long. Its body was dripping with blood and covered in wounds.

Monkey carefully walked to Hu Yaowei's side and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, you have to personally search for spirit herbs and treat his wounds. That way, he will submit to you!"

"It's best if he comes back with some injuries."

Hu Yaowei was already familiar with this operation after doing it a few times.

"Okay, I'll go now. You guys take care of him."

The old man in the rainbow-colored feather robe who was following the group suddenly realized with embarrassment that Ji Chang was not the only one.

Ji Chang had killed all the famous geniuses of the Western Desert, but as a result, the Foundation Establishment Level monsters had no one to rely on.

Meanwhile, Hu Yaowei was following Ji Chang's group from afar, picking up injured Foundation Establishment monsters along the way!

What the f * ck?

Could he really become a monster king?

The situation in the Western Desert had always been different from other places. But now, it had become even more bizarre.

Later …
