Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

King Grade: Heavenly Earth

The Yellow Springs surged as if it was gushing out from the deepest depths of the earth, surging underground.

Countless tunnels were washed away, and the water of the Yellow Spring flowed forward as if there was no end.

This kind of power was still somewhat beyond Chen Qing's imagination.

He had also imagined the power of the Venomous Insect King at its peak level, but he had never thought that it could be so powerful that it could turn the world upside down.

At this rate, the water of the Yellow Spring would fill the entire Nine Underworlds!

Qing Shan clung to the top of a huge fish bone in a panic, and the fish bone floated in the Yellow Spring.

It made Qing Shan fall into the Yellow Spring from time to time, and he drank a lot of Yellow Spring water.

Because Chen Qing was still attached to him, he was not affected too much.

Even if he could not resist it, Chen Qing would try to send a wisp of spiritual energy over.

Every time he wanted to let go of the fish bone because of the Yellow Spring's Daylily, he felt a gentle force waking him up.

He clung to the fish bone again. The earth shattered, and the endless caves were crushed like broken wood in front of the Yellow Spring.

While Qing Shan was in a daze, a gentle force poured into his body, waking him up, and he grabbed the fish bone floating in the Yellow Spring again.

In a trance, he seemed to see Wen Zong, who was emitting Buddhist light, reaching out to him.

"Wen Zong!"

"Wen Zong, protect me!"

After half a day of tumbling and almost a month of not being able to get out of the cave, the Yellow Spring collapsed in half a day.

The water of the Yellow Spring swept out as if it was endless, filling every corner of the Nine Underworlds.

After half a day of desperation, Qing Shan finally relaxed for a moment.

After the water of the Yellow Spring flowed into the Nine Underworlds Abyss, it became much calmer. He crawled to a place floating above the Yellow Spring, where he would not touch it.

"I'm not dead yet?"

"It must be Wen Zong's protection!"

Chen Qing said in his heart, "You're right, I really am protecting you."

Qing Shan sat on the fish bone, watching the scene in front of him.

The water of the Yellow Spring drowned a sect, and then the entire sect was silent.

After soaking in the Yellow Spring, everyone became carefree. They forgot about their current predicament and gradually sank to the bottom of the Yellow Spring.

Seven days passed. Chen Qing sat in a crevice in the corner of the green mountain, looking at the countless deaths in front of him.

The Mandate of Heaven that the fisherman spoke of was no longer around.

That Yellow Spring Gu clearly had an owner, but the Extreme Light Religion had divined that the Nine Nether Goddess had the King's Mandate.

And this time, Chen Qing really saw what a Venomous Insect King was.

The Venomous King Gu's power was enough to fill the Nine Underworlds!

These were not empty words.

Three days ago, he had personally witnessed Ancestor Xie Xin gradually losing consciousness while being chased by countless resentful ghosts. In the end, Ancestor Xie Xin sank into the Yellow Springs, never to be heard again.

Even an old monster who had lived for a thousand years couldn't escape. In the end, he fell under the Yellow Springs.

After seven days of surging, the Yellow Spring still seemed to have no end. Its turbulent momentum was still unending, as if it wanted to cleanse the entire Nine Underworlds.

It wasn't a bloodbath. Yellow Springs killed people without shedding blood.

Only bones were left.

Flesh and blood melted away.

Chen Qing had seen a lot in these seven days. It wasn't that those cultivators and demons didn't resist, but that they couldn't.

There were mountain-like great demons that tried to swim and fly away in the Yellow Springs, but they were dragged back down by countless resentful ghosts.

Flesh and blood melted away, and the soul was annihilated in just an instant.

In these seven days, just the deaths that Chen Qing saw along the green mountain numbered more than sixty Profound Martial realm cultivators, Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, and Qi Refinement realm cultivators.

Just the aftermath of this Yellow Springs Flooding the Nine Underworlds was enough to upgrade his vital Gu.

Chen Qing estimated that he only needed to drift along with the Yellow Springs for a while more before his vital Gu could advance.

Although he didn't know what Great Dao was contained in it, the flapping wings in his chest that were getting more and more intense would not lie to him.

Another dozen days passed, but the Yellow Springs still showed no signs of stopping. It swept through the entire world in a mighty manner.

It turned everything it encountered into white bones.

As for Chen Qing, he could feel that his Life Gu was about to evolve.

After attending a gathering, Chen Qing firmly fixed himself in the crevice of the green mountain's horns and began to prepare for the upgrade of his vital Gu.

On the last night, Chen Qing entered the green mountain's dream.

"Since you came to worship me, I will grant you a life-saving item!"

"I have a jade talisman. If you are in danger, you can crush it to save your life!"

After saying that, Chen Qing disappeared from the green mountain's dream.

Then, he tied the jade talisman to the green mountain's wrist.

The vital Gu in his chest stopped beating, and began to transform into a cocoon.

Fortunately, only his physical body had fallen into a state of hibernation. His soul was unaffected.

He could also enter and leave the Cloud Platform to attend gatherings, which saved him the need to inform everyone that he needed to sleep for a few months.

When Qing Shan woke up and saw the jade talisman on his wrist, he firmly believed that he was fated with Chen Qing.

"Wen Zong is indeed fated with me!"

"So this is what Wen Zong looks like!"

"He's really returned to his original state."

Chen Qing laughed in his heart and ignored the little cow for now.

He closed his eyes and slept. He floated on the Yellow Spring for three months before it showed signs of stopping.

In these three months, the Nine Underworlds had become a truly dangerous place. All who entered died, and no one survived.

Qing Shan relied on his true form as a green cow. He had a large amount of food in his stomach, and he kept eating to get through it.

After floating for three months, he finally stepped on land again. But this time, the land he stepped on was not the Nine Underworlds Abyss, but the human world, the Southern Li.

As soon as he came ashore, he went to the nearest town and ate a big meal.

After eating, he went on his way with peace of mind. After asking for directions to the Nine River City, he headed there wholeheartedly.

In less than five days, he came to a town where the Li soldiers were stationed. Qing Shan, a demon, entered a human town so openly. Naturally, he was discovered instantly and reported.

Before he entered the city, two Foundation Establishment cultivators came to capture Qing Shan.

"Demon, the lord of the Dragon Stallion Army was worried about not having enough Foundation Establishment demons, and you came to him. What good luck!"

"Little cow, follow me to the Dragon Stallion Army to meet the lord. You have a good place to go!"

When Qing Shan heard this, he felt as if he had found his family.

He said loudly, "My name is Qing Shan. I'm fated with Wen Zong. Wen Zong once entered my dream and asked me to go and worship him!"

As soon as he said that, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators panicked. "What did you say?"

Qing Shan repeated himself.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator said, "How is that possible?

You're just a little green cow demon. How did you get Wen Zong's favor? "

"Also, I've never heard of Wen Zong being able to enter dreams."

"Could it really be fate?"

"Brother Cow, tell us how you got Wen Zong's favor."

Qing Shan sat down on a pile of green grass and began to talk about his miraculous journey.

Along the way, he couldn't believe it himself. The cultivators in the Ninth Secluded Impasse were almost all dead, and he was the only one who survived in the end.

After hearing Qing Shan's explanation, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't dare to be negligent.

"Quickly report to Lord Yan Chou!"

Four hours later, Yan Chou arrived on a Dragon Horse. After carefully examining the green mountain, he couldn't find anything special about it.

"Could this Qing Shan really be Wen Zong's destined mount?"

"If that wasn't the case, how did he survive such a great disaster in the Ninth Secluded Impasse?"

Since Qing Shan had taken out many relics from the Ninth Secluded Impasse, they could only believe that Qing Shan had come from the Ninth Secluded Underworld.

Facing this matter, Yan Chou did not dare to be careless.

Although he was currently part of the Dragon Stallion Army, if Qing Shan was really Chen Qing's mount, then Qing Shan's position in the Li Army would be comparable to Wei Qingchen's!

Wei Qingchen was only the head of the generals under Chen Qing's command. Now, he was in charge of the life and death of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Three Kingdoms.

In terms of closeness, Chen Qing's personal mount was closer.

No matter how close Wei Qingchen was, he lived in Nine River City.

However, if this green ox was really Chen Qing's mount, it would live in the Guard Palace in the future.

After careful consideration, Yan Chou said seriously, "Fellow Daoist Qing Shan, please wait here. We must report this matter to the general and the chief steward before we can let you pass."

Qing Shan wasn't in a hurry. "Then go report it. It's best if you hurry."

Half a month later, there was finally news. Yan Chou came with some hesitation. "Fellow Daoist Qing Shan, we don't know whether this matter is true or not, so we can only let you pass."

"Don't worry, there won't be any cultivators who will dare to attack you along the way."

"However, you still need to go to Nine River City by yourself."

"The Guard Lord has traveled the Nine Nations, and we don't know where he is now."

"Only when the Guard Lord reappears can we give you a proper reputation and status."

Qing Shan wasn't angry. He had always been a simple and honest person.

"As long as you let me pass and let me see Wen Zong, it would be best."

When they arrived at the city gate, Qing Shan suddenly asked, "Will I enter Wen Zong's territory if I step through this gate?"

Yan Chou nodded. "You can understand it that way. Now, in the entire Nine Li, everyone below the Profound Martial Realm is the Guard Lord's territory."

Qing Shan lay down. "If that's the case, then I'll transform into an ox."

"Since I'm going to see Wen Zong and be his mount, I'll transform into my original form."

"I'm willing to transform into an ox and never have a human body again!"

After saying that, Qing Shan slowly transformed into a green ox and entered the city with his tail swinging.

Yan Chou saw Qing Shan's pious appearance. "I think I understand why this green ox can be the Guard Lord's mount."

After Qing Shan transformed into an ox, his journey was very fast. He drank water when he was thirsty, and ate grass when he was hungry.

In just two months, he reached the border of Wu Country with his four hooves.

Far away, Su Yi stood on the hillside and looked at the green bull. He turned his head to look at the Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him, "According to what you said, this green bull is really not an ancient variant, but just an ordinary green bull?"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator replied, "Yes."

Su Yi frowned and said, "But why is it this green bull?"

After saying that, he shook his head, "In the end, it's still the group of Qilin Temple who are not honest."

"If they were more honest, how would this green bull have the chance!"

Chen Qing turned his head and glanced at Su Yi. He did not expect that this general manager of the nine nations would personally come to see a bull.

Perhaps he wanted to see his thoughts from this bull.

His original body was not in Nine River City, so many things had to be done according to his wishes.

Hmm, he could move?

Puff!

The butterfly in his chest began to flap its wings again, like a flowing river. Blood began to flow all over his body again.

He could clearly feel that his entire body was transforming.

His dantian was rapidly expanding, becoming even larger than before!

His meridians also began to expand rapidly, becoming thicker and tougher.

Although it did not increase by a few dantians, these thickened meridians could actually begin to accommodate spiritual energy.

And because his meridians had become thicker, the spiritual energy had become more condensed.

The amount of spiritual energy was about three times that of before, and the speed of spiritual energy circulation was more than two times faster!

The quality of spiritual energy had also greatly improved.

The current him, even if he waved his hand and released a pure stream of spiritual energy, without using any spells, it was enough to injure an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In addition, his entire body had become even tougher, as if he had been reborn.

The strength of his physical body had more than doubled, and his origin was much stronger.

With his current body, even if Lu Shenglong and the others attacked with all their might, they would not be able to hurt him at all.

The blood in his body had magically turned golden, like the blood of a god!

His current body was simply the body of a God or Devil.

Even the dragon race, which was known as the strongest in the demon race, might not be able to compare.

The advancement of his Vital Gu had caused his strength to undergo a metamorphosis.

Chen Qing lowered his head and looked at the natal Gu on his chest. It had already changed greatly.
