Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 197: Qingyang Destroying Demons Under the Nine Underworlds

Chen Qing waved his sword, and the red-clothed Daoist's head fell.

There was only unwillingness left in his eyes.

The red-clothed Daoist's soul didn't fly out because when Chen Qing killed him, he also destroyed his soul.

Chen Qing withdrew his sword. "This is true death."

"Even if it's a soul, there's still hope of revival."

"True death is the destruction of the soul, everything disappearing!"

"There's no more chance!"

At this moment, the butterfly in Chen Qing's chest finally flapped its wings, and it seemed to be beating even more violently.

Only then did Chen Qing understand.

It was just turning into an evil spirit, losing one's corporeal body and turning into a soul. Strictly speaking, it wasn't true death.

It was easy to live but hard to die?

It wasn't difficult to observe the life of all things, but now, observing the death of all things was completely different.

Observing the life of all things only required a trip of ten thousand miles.

Observing the death of all things, but it had to be a thorough death, and the soul had to be destroyed!

In a normal death, the soul would still be there.

Even if it disappeared, it was just escaping into another world.

This wasn't something that could happen naturally, and it wasn't something that mortals could do.

This required the intervention of the cultivation world.

"So this is the difficult part."

"If it was in the Death Realm, it would definitely be extremely easy, because the battle there would definitely result in the destruction of the soul."

"But if it was in the mortal world, it would be very difficult to observe the death of all things."

"Unless I personally intervene."

"But Ji Chang won't give me the time in the Death Realm."

He had a strong premonition that as long as he entered the Death Realm, there would be endless war.

At that time, everything would be too late.

He was a person who cherished his life very much.

If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't be interested in participating in this so-called battle for the throne.

But since he had already come this far, there was no turning back.

Xuan Ping had said that since he was going to do it, he had to do it to the best of his ability.

He felt that this sentence was very right.

Chen Qing sat down and pondered for a moment before asking the shadow beside him, "Ma Yuan, is the Nine Underworlds still under the control of our Extreme Light Sect?"

A voice from the shadow said, "The Nine Underworlds has a close relationship with the Death Realm and is also related to the sacred cult master. Naturally, it has always been under our control."

Chen Qing asked, "If I head to the Nine Underworlds, will it be dangerous?"

Ma Yuan jumped down from the tree. "Since Milord is going, there's no need to worry."

Chen Qing was prepared to go to the Nine Underworlds, where many evil ghosts, flying corpses, mountain ghosts, and evil cultivators resided.

The battles there would never let go of the other party's soul.

Chen Qing returned to the carriages and wrote down the iron skin Gu chapter, copper bone Gu chapter, sword Gu chapter, and grass spirit Gu chapter that he had recently comprehended.

"Send these four books to the Ye Country Academy and let them test them."

"As for the Ye Kingdom, I won't be going."

"Go back and tell Xuan Ping that I want to travel around for a period of time to seek enlightenment."

Ying Wugang was a bit worried. "Lord Wei, you are the Foundation Establishment Sovereign of South Li. You cannot recklessly take risks!"

Zuo Chuan also said, "That's right, Lord Wei. Traveling alone is too dangerous!"

Chen Qing smiled calmly. "It's fine. In the entire world, there are less than five Foundation Establishment Cultivators who can take me on!"

"Above the Profound Martial Realm. I'm in Nanli, and I'm favored by God Miao. Not many people would dare to touch me."

"Besides, it's easier for me to hide myself if I travel alone."

"If you follow me, you will expose the target instead."

"If the Profound Martial Realm comes, there's nothing you can do. It's better for me to travel alone."

Seeing that Zuo Chuan and Ying Wugang wanted to continue persuading him, Chen Qing waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've made up my mind!"

"Say no more!"

"In this battle for the Death Realm, it's very likely that everyone will die."

"I have to grab this last chance!"

Chen Qing finished and left alone.

Although Ye Country did not welcome Chen Qing, the entire Ye Country's cultivators were extremely disappointed.

It could be said that Chen Qing's reputation in Ye Country was even higher than Wu Country.

Ye Country's Chong Wen Dao.

Of course, this Chong Wen Dao was not poetry or painting, but the pursuit of the Great Dao.

They were determined to pursue the truth of the Great Dao.

However, after receiving the four books from Chen Qing, they immediately became excited again.

Chen Qing's reputation in Ye Country soared again.

This was the first time Chen Qing openly gave out so many books that recorded the Gu worm path.

A month later.

In an inn at the entrance of the Nine Underworlds, Chen Qing wore a bamboo hat and sat opposite a black-robed Daoist drinking wine.

Death Omen glanced sideways at the endless abyss, "Are you really going to the Nine Underworlds?"

Chen Qing raised his wine cup and took a sip, "Why, isn't this our Extreme Light Sect's territory?"

Death Omen said leisurely, "Although our Extreme Light Sect's believers are everywhere in the Nine Underworlds, you have a noble status, there might be people who will take the risk."

Chen Qing said, "Does the sect have any ideas?"

Death Omen sighed, "Well, since you insist on going, wait for me here for three days!"

Three days later, Chen Qing and Death Omen met again in the inn.

Death Omen took out a jade butterfly, "Although our Aurora Religion can't restore all the teleportation arrays and restore the glory of ancient times, we still have some means."

"As long as you crush this jade, you can teleport to the teleportation array in Wu Country, the one you have been to before."

Chen Qing reached out and took it, "Don't the other great sects or great sects have any means to deal with it?"

Death Omen said, "Heh, we are the only ones who have mastered the teleportation array, but we can't crack the secret, let alone the other great sects."

"The only one who can deal with this jade is probably inside our Aurora Religion."

Chen Qing asked doubtfully, "Is there someone inside the Aurora Religion preparing to deal with me?"

Death Omen said, "The Water Country was conferred by God Miao and has a history of 8600 years. Now there are only 60 years left."

"With your current strength, as long as you come back alive from the Death Realm, you will definitely be conferred as a king."

"And it's very likely to be King Wen."

"If it's any other king title, it's fine. But if it's King Wen, God Miao can't just confer a title on a small island in the South Sea."

"Since it's going to be conferred on the main continent, the Water Country's history is coming to an end. Do you think the Water Country's royal family will take the risk?"

"What's more, under God Miao's interference, the Water Country's Nine-Tailed Demon Fox entered the palace. The entire Water Country is in chaos."

"The people's hearts are in chaos, so there are many people taking the risk!"

"A small part of the Aurora Religion in the Water Country has already begun to disobey orders."

Chen Qing said, "In other words, the Water Country's Aurora Religion is likely to deal with me?"

Death Omen said, "But you don't have to worry too much. I secretly replaced this jade charm. It's not even recorded in the religion's records."

"Except for me, no one knows that you have this jade charm. This way, your safety can be guaranteed."

Chen Qing reached out and accepted the jade charm, "Alright, thank you."

After that, Chen Qing put on his bamboo hat, turned around, and walked out of the inn.

He walked firmly toward the Ninth Underworld.

The entrance to the Ninth Underworld was a bottomless abyss.

It was also known as the Wound of the Earth.

This was an abyss that was tens of thousands of miles deep, and the sun could not be seen all year round.

There were demons, evil spirits, flying corpses, drought demons, mountain ghosts, spiritual monsters, and heretical cultivators.

This place was also commonly known as Evil Men Valley.

It was the place where all the evildoers of Nan Li were entrenched.

If one were to ask why Nanli, which was under the command of Deity Miao and had a deity overseeing it, would appear in such a dangerous place, one would have to ask the sword in the hand of the female cultivator in front of Chen Qing.

Under the abyss, there was no daylight. Although the cultivators used their divine consciousness to sense their surroundings, they still did not dare to be too presumptuous in order to avoid disturbing some powerful beings.

It was a female cultivator who wasn't very tall. She was a full two heads shorter than Chen Qing.

Such a height was not common in the world of cultivation.

Cultivators had plenty of ways to make up for their flaws.

However, this woman was still so tall. This could only mean that the spells she was proficient in had something to do with her body.

The scabbard was not long, only two chi long. Chen Qing glanced at it and nodded his head. Most likely, it specialized in assassination.

"That brat dares to enter the Nine Underworlds with his mere Foundation Establishment cultivation?"

"The Nine Underworlds is the place where Nan Li sharpens their swords. He's not even at the Xuan Gate yet. Is he seeking death?"

"Who do you worship? Don't you have any elders to teach you?"

To the people of Nan Li, this was a place where demons resided.

However, to the major sects, this was merely a place where they sharpened their swords.

It was as if they were gathered in one place, waiting for the major sects to come and destroy them.

Chen Qing cupped his hands in salute toward the Ten Thousand Years Mountain and drew his Dragon Sparrow Sword, which carried a hint of Deity Miao's might. "My family doesn't worship the monarchs or the four Perfected Lords. We worship Deity Miao!"

The female cultivator was slightly startled. She could feel a hint of Deity Miao's might. "Ten Thousand Years Mountain?"

Chen Qing replied proudly, "That's right!"

The female cultivator relaxed slightly. "In that case, we're still family. My family worships Perfected Lord Du E, the manifestation of the True Essence of the South Sea!"

Was it one of the Perfected Lords from the Four Unknown Lands that she had once worshipped Deity Miao?

Chen Qing wasn't intimidated. "So you're Perfected Lord Du E's big sister. Greetings, Chen Qing."

The female cultivator smiled politely. "I wouldn't dare to call myself Perfected Lord Du E's subordinate. Perfected Lords are monarchs and Dao Lords."

A Perfected Lord's cultivation base transcended beyond all realms. They were untainted by the mortal world and ruled over the world with monarchs.

This was the first time Chen Qing had heard of a Dao Lord. Perhaps it was a monarch without a throne?

Or perhaps it was a Dao Lord at that cultivation base. It was just that Perfected Lords needed monarchs to shepherd all living beings.

That wasn't right either. A monarch might not be a Dao Lord.

The new monarch's cultivation base might not be very high.

The female cultivator hadn't seen a familiar face in a long time, so she was quite talkative. "My name is Ruan Qingyi. You can call me Big Sister Ruan."

"Why did you come to the Nine Underworlds with your cultivation base?"

Chen Qing replied calmly, "The Ten Thousand Years Mountain is peaceful and peaceful. It's rare to see battles here."

"That's why I came here. I want to see cultivators fight to the death and broaden my horizons."

Ruan Qingyi didn't have any doubts about this. "That's true. The Ten Thousand Years Mountain is a place shrouded in the divine aura of a deity. It's impossible for there to be any battles."

Chen Qing asked, "I wonder if Big Sister Ruan has any recommendations for me to take a look at?"

Ruan Qingyi replied, "I've been here for eighteen years. Although I can't be considered to have been everywhere, I still know some things."

"If you want to see people fight, with your cultivation base, you can go three thousand miles below. Don't go below eight thousand miles."

"There are many thousand-year-old monsters below eight thousand miles."

"With your cultivation base, you won't be able to return."

Chen Qing cupped his hands and took out a red fruit. He raised his hand and threw it to Ruan Qingyi. "Thank you for your reminder, Big Sister Ruan. Chen Qing understands."

"This is a small gift. Please accept it."

Ruan Qingyi received it. "Precious medicine?"

She looked at Chen Qing again. "You're so generous. As expected of a follower of God Miao and a member of the Ten Thousand Years Mountain."

"Oh well, it just so happens that my injuries are almost healed, so I'll send you on your way!"

Chen Qing did not expect to have an unexpected gain, after thanking her, he flew downwards.

Ruan Qingyi waved her hand, summoning a black cloud and hiding in it, it looked like a black cloud was following Chen Qing.

After flying for over fifty li and not encountering anything, Chen Qing heard Ruan Qingyi's voice in his mind. "There is someone over there!"

Chen Qing looked to the side and saw a young man in white robes flying downwards on a sword.

Ruan Qingyi pulled Chen Qing into the black cloud: "That seems to be Southern Sea Mi Tuo Monastery's Xiao Yexi."

"He reached the Profound Martial Realm twenty years ago. Now that I think about it, he should have more or less consolidated his cultivation. That's why he came down the mountain to train."

"Looking at his momentum, if we follow him, we will definitely see an exciting battle!"

Chen Qing immediately used fog Gu, turning into a lump of fog and attaching himself to Ruan Qingyi's cloud.

Ruan Qingyi continued: "His monastery worships Profound Heaven Jade Sun Demon Sweeping True Monarch, he is most proficient in killing and suppressing demons."

"Moreover, he has methods to deal with demons and demonic cultivators, you can consider yourself lucky."

Chen Qing looked at Xiao Yexi carefully, many thoughts running through his mind.

Demon Sweeping True Monarch?

These Southern Sea cultivators matched the style of immortal disciples in his imagination.

Thinking about it, it was not easy for cultivators in the mortal world to survive, why would they have so many misgivings?

Only overseas cultivators like them had the right to possess Righteous Qi.

Of course, this did not mean that these disciples under True Monarchs were stupid, it depended on the person.

Chen Qing was happy to be at ease, as long as he could see living beings completely die, he could comprehend Dao and evolve his vital Gu.

The two followed Xiao Yexi and flew downwards for a thousand li, three days later.

Below them, there was a place filled with demonic fog, Xiao Yexi suddenly stopped and looked at the demonic fog.

Ruan Qingyi transmitted from the cloud: "This is Chong Gu Sect, a sect formed by a group of rat demons."

"They do not like to fight, instead they like to dig holes and search for ancient records or artifacts."

"His sect is very knowledgeable and only accepts rat demons. Moreover, they only accept rat demons that can understand primordial and primordial characters."

At this moment, Chen Qing's horizons were broadened. In other words, this group of Rat Demons was dedicated to archeology?

Xiao Yexi stood ten miles away from the demonic fog. He glanced at Chen Qing and Ruan Qingyi and said loudly, "Who are you? You have been following me for a thousand miles. Please come out and meet me!"

Ruan Qingyi didn't try to hide her identity. She waved her hand to disperse the black clouds. "Ruan Qingyi of the Five Thunder Sect, this is Chen Qing from the Ten Thousand Years Mountain!"

Xiao Yexi glanced to the side and his eyes narrowed. "I saw that your black cloud was the Five Thunder Orthodox Technique, an Immortal Orthodox Technique. That's why I didn't speak for three days. I didn't expect you to be from the Five Thunder Monastery."

His gaze landed on Chen Qing. "Foundation Establishment?

Even if you are from the Ten Thousand Years Mountain, you shouldn't be so arrogant! "

"Let me give you a piece of advice. You'd better leave as soon as possible. Don't bring disaster upon yourself!"

Before Chen Qing could speak, Ruan Qingyi was displeased. "We all worship the True Lord Miao Shen. Why are you speaking so presumptuously?"

Xiao Yexi said coldly, "This is a place where demons gather. I worship the Demon-Rinsing True Lord. Naturally, I am here to cleanse the demons!"

"Soon, something big will happen here. You'd better leave as soon as possible!"

"I am here on the Dao Lord's decree to do something."

"Outsiders are not allowed to know. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Ruan Qingyi heard him mention the Dao Lord's decree. Although she was so angry that her chest heaved, she still cupped her hands and said, "Hmph, I hope you can return safely!"

After saying that, she took Chen Qing and left.

After flying for thirty miles, Ruan Qingyi landed and snorted. "Hmph, if he doesn't want us to know, I want to see what he's doing here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qing suddenly felt his eyes being pierced by the sunlight. He looked back and saw a huge green sun rising in the abyss.

That huge sun shone with a green jade-like light, illuminating the surroundings.

All the evil aura, demonic aura, and demonic aura melted away like snow.

This huge green sun had the power to burn the sky and boil the sea!

Ruan Qingyi looked to the side. "It's the Green Jade Gu. He actually has the Green Jade Gu!"

"After breaking through to the Profound Martial Realm, he actually became a true disciple!"

Chen Qing asked, "What's so special about it?"

Ruan Qingyi said, "Although the Green Jade Gu is also a Spirit Gu, it is different from ordinary Spirit Gu. It evolved around the King Gu and is of the same lineage as the Jade Sun King Gu."

"It can borrow a trace of the King Gu's power."

Chen Qing suddenly remembered Li Chonghuan's Three Yang King Gu. It could also transform mortal Gu into a Spirit Gu.

This Green Jade Gu was probably the same.

Previously, when he saw Li Chonghuan's King Gu, he didn't think much of it. Now that he saw Xiao Yexi use the Green Jade Gu, he finally understood how powerful the King Gu was.

Of course, it was also possible that at that time, his and Li Chonghuan's cultivation were too low and couldn't fully display the King Gu's power.

Now that he saw Xiao Yexi, who was in the Profound Martial Realm, use the Green Jade Gu, he truly felt it.

His Gu's quality must be extremely high, and its use was ingenious. It could be said that he had developed a new power.

It was not without reason that it was extremely difficult for his Life Gu to advance to the King Grade.

After a full quarter of an hour, Chen Qing and Ruan Qingyi saw the green sun dissipate.

Ruan Qingyi waited for another two hours before flying up on a cloud. "Let's go and take a look."

When they came to the Chonggu Sect again, all they saw was red charcoal that was still burning.

There were burning rats everywhere. Chen Qing spread out his perception and found that there was no living creature within three miles of the Chonggu Sect.

And it was the kind that had their Divine Souls destroyed.

A sect was gone just like that?

Although it was a Yao cultivator sect, wasn't this a bit too abrupt?

Ruan Qingyi flew into a burning wooden building. "He has been here before. This place hasn't been burning for long, so he avoided this place when he was casting the spell."

Chen Qing also flew in. Soon, he saw an opened secret compartment. At this moment, it was slowly melting under the raging flames.

"He took something."

Ruan Qingyi suddenly became nervous. "You'd better leave quickly."

"He destroyed a sect as soon as he came in. Something big is definitely going to happen!"

After saying that, Ruan Qingyi left the place. No one knew where she went.

Chen Qing walked around the burning room. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a piece of scattered scale.
