Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 207: Willing to Enter the Cycle of Life and Death

After waiting for two hours, there was still no response.

Chen Qing wasn't anxious at all, "I don't believe in coincidences in this world."

"The appearance of Linglong Divine Palace is too deliberate. I have to know who I'm fighting for."

However, there was still no response. Only the leaves under the tree were blown into a line of words by an unknown wind.

[Your life is up to you. You only fight for yourself.]

Chen Qing looked at it for a long time and waved his sleeve. A gust of wind blew away the fallen leaves.

He left Linglong Divine Palace and walked to his Guard Palace, waiting for the arrival of Death Omen.

Three days later, Death Omen came to the Guard Palace, "You've decided to enter the Death Realm?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly, "Do you have a medium in Tianguan City of Shang Tong's headquarters?"

Death Omen was slightly surprised, "Are you sure you don't want to land in Fengdu?"

"If it's in Fengdu, you'll have a chance to adjust."

"Shang Tong has occupied the Death Realm for a long time. We still need to avoid him."

Chen Qing chuckled, "I have 3,600 troops and he only has 1,000. Do I need to avoid him?"

Death Omen stretched out his hand and took out a fluorescent bead from his bosom, "If you insist on entering the Death Realm from Heavenly Guan City, then throw this thing into the opened Ghost Gate."

Chen Qing took it and put it into his body.

After Death Omen left, he said, "Ask Yan Sisi to come here."

Yan Sisi came quickly. Chen Qing ordered, "I want a medium to enter the Death Realm from Chaotian City in a month."

Yan Sisi thought for a moment, "Although it's extremely difficult, it's not impossible. I'll do it right away."

After saying that, Chen Qing sat cross-legged in the Guard Palace and fell into deep thought.

Half a month later, a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators flew across the sky and landed in front of Jiuhe City.

"It's General Yan. General Yan is here!"

"And the Dragon Stallion Army under General Yan."

"Such a big lineup. Are they sending General Yan to be the vanguard?"

"I don't know. It looks like General Yan went to the city to meet the Guard Master."

Three days later, Wu Shang rode a Qilin to Jiuhe City. He grabbed the Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the city gate, "Where's my big brother?"

How could the Foundation Establishment guarding the city dare to resist Wu Shang's might? "I'm in Palace Guard!"

Wu Shang immediately released the qilin and headed towards Wei Gong.

Everyone looked at Wu Shang's energetic appearance. "Looks like the young general's temper hasn't been smoothed out yet."

"From the looks of it, the human world is not necessarily stable."

After seven years, Wu Shang had already grown from a youth to a young man. His long hair draped over his shoulders, and his fair skin was without a beard. Riding a qilin, he had an extraordinary bearing.

Wu Shang rode the Qilin into the Wei Palace, ignoring Wei Qingchen's attempts to stop him. He rode the Qilin to the entrance of the Wei Palace.

He leaped off the qilin and entered the main hall. Then, he bowed respectfully and said, "Eldest Brother, Wushang is back."

Chen Qing glanced sideways at Kirin, who was still snorting outside. "What are you up to?"

Wu Shang smiled confidently. "I'm going to listen to music tonight."

"When Ting 'Qu' er returns, please teach me how to take over Nine River City, Big Brother."

Only then did Chen Qing's expression change slightly. "Defiling myself?

Do you want Da Wu to look down on you? "

Wu Shang said, "During the seven years in the Land of the Source of the Dao, I beat up the royal grandson every year, and even snatched a royal daughter to be my sword attendant."

"With these preparations, you should be able to fool them."

Chen Qing smiled. "You've barely grown up and know how to scheme."

"Then let's smash a shop tonight. Your sister-in-law and Sisi have never liked brothels."

Wu Shang smiled. "Alright, that's my strong suit."

Chen Qing waved his hand. "Go."

Wu Shang turned and left. He mounted his qilin and shouted angrily, "Eldest Brother, let me go to the Death Realm. I'll definitely kill that nuisance Ji Chang for you!"

"You'll regret it!"

After saying that, he rode his qilin to find a brothel and began to get drunk.

Late at night, Wei Qingchen personally came and escorted the drunk Wu Shang to the Wei Palace.

When they arrived at the main hall of the Wei Palace, Wu Shang no longer looked drunk. He obediently came to Chen Qing and sat on the ground, his posture extremely upright.

"Eldest Brother, you can begin."

Chen Qing picked up a bowl of hangover soup. "Sisi made this for you. Drink it and we'll talk."

Wu Shang picked it up and thought of Yan Sisi, but quickly threw this thought away. He drank it in one gulp and began to listen carefully to Chen Qing's arrangements.

"I rule Jiuli with kindness, so you have to rule Jiuli with dignity."

"This is equal to kindness and dignity."

“.”

Until dawn, Wu Shang had heard enough. He ate breakfast together with Chen Qing. Then, he went to kneel in front of the Wei Gong's door.

He had a look of dissatisfaction.

All along, Wu Shang's image in the eyes of the world was that he became famous at a young age. He was reckless and did things according to his preferences.

Therefore, Wu Shang decided to let the world continue to misunderstand him.

Kneeling in front of the Wei Palace, Wu Shang recalled the battle with Li Chonghuan. That time, Li Chonghuan deliberately fought to a draw with him.

For people like them who were covered by geniuses like Chen Qing and Ji Chang, a temporary victory or defeat was not important in this world. What was important was to survive.

Only people of Chen Qing's and Ji Chang's statuses would be affected if they were defeated.

It was the same for the next few days.

The news of Wu Shang and Chen Qing's discord also spread.

Of course, it was only a small mistake. It was not enough to remove Wu Shang's identity as the successor.

Another ten days later, Lu Shenglong and Xuan Mang arrived at Nine River City, leading a large army.

Many perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators began to gather in Nine River City, but it did not seem crowded.

Nine River City was built to accommodate tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Xuan Cuo was the last to arrive on June 13th.

He was stationed in Secluded Country, which was the furthest from Wu Country.

This speed was already very good.

More than three thousand perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived in Nine River City, making the city more lively than ever.

There was always an endless stream of cultivators in the city's taverns.

Xuan Cuo had only been in Nine River City for a day, but Qing Shan was once again in front of this majestic city.

The last time he was here was seven years ago. In just seven years, his body had undergone too many transformations.

Not only did he completely master the Seeing True Self of Dao, but he also cleansed his body and awakened his Immemorial Heavenly Azure Bull bloodline.

He also cultivated a large number of defensive spells to ensure that he could be of help to Chen Qing on the battlefield.

Outside Nine River City, a large number of mountains were flattened, clearing out large areas of empty space.

This was to clear out the area for the perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators to sever their lives.

As long as Chen Qing gave the order, more than three thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators would have to sever their lives in one night.

At this moment, Qing Ran was the busiest of all. He needed to count everyone's battle achievements and take out all the treasures they needed to exchange for.

Chen Qing saw that Qing Shan had returned and had a reunion dinner with Xuan Ping, Wu Shang, Yan Sisi, and Qing Shan. Then, he wrote down an order.

"There are a total of 3,562 people at the peak of Foundation Establishment. They will kill themselves three days later."

After receiving Chen Qing's order, everyone started to get busy.

Wei Qingchen began to prepare to open the Ghost Gate. This time, he needed a lot of materials to let 3,562 people enter the Ghost Gate.

Everyone could feel it, and the atmosphere of the entire Nine River City became solemn.

June 17th.

Chen Qing and Wei Gong passed down the position of Li Army Guard Master to Wu Shang. Under everyone's witness, Wu Shang became the new Foundation Establishment Master of Jiuli.

He was in charge of controlling the Foundation Establishment in the human world and providing an endless source of soldiers for Chen Qing's expedition to the Ghost Realm.

On the morning of June 18th, a large number of peak Foundation Establishment cultivators went to the venue that had been prepared long ago. They found their own venue and began to prepare.

Zuo Chuan and Ying Wugang left the city together. Zuo Chuan smiled and said, "After decades of hard work, I finally have the chance to test my saber against all the heroes in the world."

Ying Wugang lightly punched Zuo Chuan's chest. "We have to come back alive."

Breaking through from the Foundation Establishment to the Ghost Realm was a breakthrough that had no threshold as long as one had enough lifespan.

However, the death rate of the Ghost Realm was the highest in the entire cultivation system.

This was the cruelest realm. Everyone killed others in order to continue cultivating.

Now, two overlords were determined to enter the Ghost Realm and restore the order of the Ghost Realm.

And they were subordinates of one of them, Chen Qing.

They led their Draconic Horses and carefully reminded them of the last important matters.

Just as night fell, Chen Qing rode his green ox to the city gate. There were tens of thousands of cultivators standing on the city wall and outside the city. Most of them were in the Qi Refinement Realm.

They also wanted to watch the ceremony and witness the rare occurrence of thousands of peak Foundation Establishment cultivators killing themselves to enter the Ghost Realm.

Chen Qing had just walked out of the city gate when the State Preceptor of Wu Country came to pass an order. "Wen Zong has written a book and contributed greatly to Jiuli. He can choose someone from the Wu Country's royal family to enter the Ghost Realm in his place!"

The State Preceptor sat on the cloud and smiled at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing only glanced at him and understood the meaning.

He was not going to obey the order.

To calm the hearts of the soldiers under him.

Otherwise, why would he pick a time when he had no time to choose the royal family?

Riding on the green ox, Chen Qing's voice resounded through the nine heavens, "Qing Xu disobeys the decree!"

A Grand Cultivator from the royal family of the Lin Kingdom also came. "Wen Zong has written a book and made great contributions to the Nine Li Kingdom. You can choose someone from the young elites of the Lin Kingdom to enter the Death Realm in your place!"

Chen Qing called out again, "Qing Xu disobeys the decree!"

Just like that, with the exception of the Water Nation, almost all of the other nations had arrived. They came a total of six times, and Chen Qing's reply was that he refused to accept the imperial edict.

"Qing Xu disobeys!"

Chen Qing shouted for the last time, and the crowd instantly became noisy.

Chen Qing said loudly, "I, Qing Xu, wish to establish a legacy of ten thousand lifetimes. Those who follow me can become profound entrances!"

"The one who makes great contributions will be the founder of a great sect that will last for ten thousand years!"

"Settle the Death Realm, suppress the world with your might, and become the sovereign of the world!"

"Although there are orders from the kings of the various countries, Qing Xu will not obey them!"

"We will live and die with you!"

"If I am the king, as long as the country still exists, all of you will enjoy endless riches and honor!"

Wei Qingchen immediately shouted, "I am willing to follow Wen Zong, regardless of the dangers!"

Loud shouts resounded. "I am willing to follow you to death!"

Chen Qing rode the green bull forward and took out a paper. He began to recite, "Under the Nine Heavens, above the Nine Underworlds, I am here to report to the heavens and earth!"

"I am willing to enter the cycle of reincarnation with this body, and experience the mysteries of life and death!"

"To the heavens and earth, I am at the peak of Foundation Establishment. There is no hope for me in the future. I beg the heavens and earth to slay me for a lifetime, and then I will seek the path of immortality!"

Boom!

Black clouds came continuously, and gathered above Chen Qing's head to form a black cloud that covered a radius of ten miles. A heavenly saber fell towards Chen Qing, and slashed into his body.

Chen Qing felt the changes in his body. The first slash did not require him to borrow lifespan from his vital Gu.

It was as if more than half of the vitality in his body had disappeared, but his entire body had become tougher.

The Ghost Face Realm was the peak of the physical body, and mainly cultivated the physical body.

Once he broke through the Ghost Face Realm, it would be difficult for his physical body to have any further breakthroughs.

Chen Qing roared at the sky, "Please slash again!"

Another slash landed, causing Chen Qing's body to become even more resilient. It was as if he was a golden body that would never change.

"Slash again!"

Another slash fell, and Chen Qing's body faintly emitted a golden light.

"Slash again!"

The heavenly saber flew down, and it was as ethereal as a fairy scattering flowers, but it locked onto Chen Qing.

Crack!

His hundred years of lifespan was slashed, but Chen Qing's expression did not change, and the golden light on his body became denser.

"Slash again!"

Chen Qing shouted.

The heavenly saber fell towards Chen Qing, and Chen Qing's body began to emit golden light, as if he was a god of war.

Wei Qingchen and Xuan Mang watched Chen Qing slash himself from afar, "This is already the fifth slash, right?"

"Yes, the fifth slash, there are still four more!"

"Lord Wei's strength is unparalleled, and he will definitely be able to endure nine slashes."

"But there is no need to worry, most of us can only slash four times. The Dragon Stallion Army has a deeper foundation, so they will probably slash two times."

"As for the others, they should have slashed once."

Xuan Cuo said, "This is not important, it's just that they are stronger when they first enter the Death Realm, and their cultivation will be smoother."

"At Ghost Face Realm Perfection, the difference will not be too big, unless there is a difference in their own Gu worms."

"In the Death Realm, because the cultivation is the limit of the physical body, our Southern Li cultivators will have a great advantage."

Lu Shenglong said, "I once felt the power of the large sects at the border of Great Liao, and I still remember the scene of hundreds of flying swords shooting out at the same time."

"With that kind of power, I guess only the Dragon Stallion Army is qualified to charge head-on."

Yan Bailiang said, "It's fine, Zhang Can and I also want to see the foundation of the large sects."

"Zhang Can and I have trained the troops under our command together. Although they are uneven, we can barely achieve this effect."

Lu Shenglong asked, "Do you know where we will land after entering the Death Realm?"

Zhang Can shook his head, "I don't know yet, we have to wait for Lord Wei's order."

"Because the final decision is in Lord Wei's hands, it is hard for Great Liao to guard against it."

Zhang Can said, "Lord Wei should be able to slash nine times. As long as you have enough merit in the Death Realm, you can break through to Ghost Face Realm Peak in one go."

Lu Shenglong said, "There is no need to talk about Lord Wei's foundation, but how many slashes can you slash?"

Yan Bailiang said, "Master prepared a hundred year lifespan Gu for me, and my vital Gu has a long lifespan, it is a black tortoise."

"So, slashing eight times is still possible."

Lu Shenglong said, "Slashing eight times, my vital Gu can do it, but it does not have much lifespan left."

At this time, Xuan Mang said, "Look, that Qing Shan is also slashing himself!"
