Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 209: I Have an Immortal Gourd

The Death Realm had always been dark, only the faint light from the phosphorescence illuminated the surroundings.

The thirty-two fortresses had small teams attacking the surrounding soldiers.

But under the situation where Chen Qing's army had the absolute advantage in numbers, they could only retreat and defend the fortresses, unable to interfere with Lu Shenglong's army attacking Sky Guan City.

The tactic of linking fortresses was very useful against two to three times the number of enemies, they could defend for a long time.

Xu Yaofeng led his subordinates to defend Fengdu for almost two months, but Ji Chang did not manage to take them down.

Chen Qing rode his green bull to the top of a fortress, estimating the number of soldiers left behind, there were only four to five hundred of them.

Under the pressure of his three thousand six hundred soldiers, they were starting to lose focus and could not defend against their attacks.

Chen Qing observed the situation of the Dragon Stallion Army, and found that in such a siege, the Dragon Stallion Army's battle strength was ordinary.

Of course, they were still far superior to ordinary cultivators, after all, the Dragon Stallion Army could ignore the terrain and fly at will.

The cultivation world was not like the mortal battlefield, the impact of speed was nothing to cultivators.

The reason the Dragon Stallion Army could charge was because of their shocking defense.

Relying on their strong physique and Black Armor Gu, they could endure the enemy's flying swords and spells and charge in.

This meant that they were similar to mortal cavalry, they were strong in field battles and were not weak in sieges, but they were weaker in field battles.

Their greatest advantage was that they could travel long distances, relying on the speed of their mounts to maintain their elite battle strength at all times.

The flames of war were everywhere, all kinds of spells were like fireworks, illuminating the surroundings like it was daytime. Red, green, and blue lights filled the surroundings, shining like a river of stars.

Explosions rang out everywhere, sparks flew, and the sound of thunder whistled through the air.

At the city gate of Tianguan City, Lu Shenglong was leading the Dragon Legion Corps and ordinary soldiers to bite down on the city gate.

Dragon and elephant phantoms appeared on Lu Shenglong's body, protecting him and blocking the large number of flying swords that flew out of the gate. The swords landed on his body and gave off loud explosions.

Small openings opened in all directions in Tianguan City, from which a large number of flying swords flew out and spread in all directions, wreaking havoc among the 32 fortresses.

Chen Qing saw with his own eyes that a soldier under his command was instantly chopped into pieces under the combined attack of over thirty flying swords.

Chen Qing glanced sideways at Tianguan City. Such cities usually had sky mirrors that allowed them to see the outside world. The city was covered with black-tower stones that blocked out detection, making it impossible to see what was going on inside the city.

Therefore, the sword cultivators in the city deliberately relied on this point to cooperate and control their flying swords to kill the attackers from the outside world.

"The cities of the Death Realm are indeed extraordinary. They are completely different from the cities of the mortal world. They are just decorations."

A large number of flying swords flew out of Tianguan City in all directions, but after a few dozen breaths, Chen Qing found that the attack of the flying swords in the city had slowed down.

"Hahaha, our men have also entered the city!"

Riding the green ox, he approached Su Yi behind Lu Shenglong and asked, "Su Yi, use your Hundred-Mile Eye and look. There are several Guard Generals outside."

Su Yi immediately understood. He looked around and quickly reported to Chen Qing, "Zhang Can and Yan Bailiang should be in the city!"

Chen Qing was overjoyed, "If it was only one person, it might be risky. Since Zhang Can and Yan Bailiang are both inside, we will definitely take them down!"

Yan Bailiang had severed nine blades himself. His Dao foundation was excellent, and his strength was strong. He would definitely be able to take them down.

"Lu Shenglong, attack the city gate with all your strength and meet up with Zhang Can and Yan Bailiang in the city!"

Lu Shenglong raised his spear and shouted, "Yes, Wen Zong!"

In this way, Lu Shenglong, Zhang Can, and Yan Bailiang only needed to work together to take down Tianguan City.

Lu Shenglong held a dragon-patterned spear in his hand. Every strike on the city gate was like a bombardment of mountains and seas.

A large number of the Dragon Stallion Army surrounded the city gate and began to use their most powerful offensive spells at the city gate.

For a moment, the city gate roared as if it was being hammered.

The fort outside lost the support of the flying swords in the city and became very fragile. Under the siege of a large number of troops, it was quickly taken down.

After a large number of forts were taken down, a large number of troops began to gather in front of the city gate. The city gate of Tianguan City had to bear the attack of hundreds of flying swords in an instant.

Sword scars constantly appeared on the city gate. After four hours of bombardment, the city gate finally collapsed.

Lu Shenglong was overjoyed. He immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Dragon Stallion Army, charge in with me!"

Just when Chen Qing felt that he was about to take down Tianguan City, he found that Lu Shenglong and the others who had just rushed in were washed out by the surging azure river water.

Lu Shenglong was washed out by the river water. He looked sideways at the river water carefully. "The Water of Flowing Mountain!"

"This is the Water of Flowing Mountain. Every drop of water has the weight of a thousand catties!"

"It's Xiao!"

Xiao was a person's name. His name only had one word, which was Xiao.

Chen Qing also looked sideways. The Water of Flowing Mountain?

Ancient family, Lingbao family?

In the flowing river water, a young man in azure clothes with fluttering sleeves was riding a small boat. He was holding a gourd glowing with azure light in his hand. He slowly came out and stood in the middle of the city gate.

The young man glanced at the people outside the city gate, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Qing. "Your excellency Wen Zong, His Highness asked me to send his regards to you!"

Lu Shenglong was shocked. "Ji Chang saw through it?"

Su Yi shook his head. "No, it's simply because Ji Chang has too many ancient families under his command. He has too many talents under him."

"Ji Chang should have sent generals who can take charge of a region to the cities that will be attacked by us."

"The one in front of us should be Xiao."

Chen Qing rode forward on his azure ox and shouted, "Xiao, you are also a rare talent among the ancient families. Why did you come to die?"

Xiao held the azure gourd in his hand and calmly said, "Xiao came here on the orders of the ancestor. Since the ancestor told me to listen to the prince's orders, then I will listen to the prince's orders."

"Someone will die in war, it might not be me or you."

Chen Qing said: "If you surrender now, I can guarantee your safety."

Xiao said seriously: "Wen Zong, you and His Highness are not ordinary people."

"In order to make your subordinates loyal to you, you left them descendants."

"His Highness is backed by Great Liao, our families live under Great Liao."

"If I surrender today, won't I implicate my family and get punished by the Emperor?"

"Furthermore, if I surrender, I think Great Liao's many families will not tolerate me."

Chen Qing said: "Then are you not afraid of death?"

Xiao raised the immortal gourd in his right hand: "My family has the first vine since the creation of the world, it is called eternal green vine."

"The green vine blossoms, the green vine bears fruit, and a spirit treasure descends."

"I am not talented, but my immortal gourd Gu relies on the might of the king of eternal green vine, it is comparable to a king Gu, I am confident it can last for three days."

"Three days later, Sir Wen Zong will be able to fight with His Highness in front of the battlefield, wouldn't that be great?"

Chen Qing's gaze landed on the immortal gourd. This was a Gu worm derived from the king Gu, eternal green vine, it was born from eternal green vine.

It was similar to green sun Gu, it could borrow a portion of the king's might.

If he hadn't seen the power of the Yellow Spring Gu on the eleventh floor, Chen Qing might have doubted if this immortal gourd had the power of a king gu.

But now, he had seen the Green Sun Gu and Yellow Spring Gu, so he knew that this immortal gourd had the power of a king gu.

There was a huge difference between the levels of the king gu.

Every time he ascended to a new floor, he would experience a huge improvement.

When Chen Qing first saw the Yellow Spring Gu on the eleventh floor, he almost thought it was a higher level gu.

Every time the Venomous Insect King ascended to a higher level, it would be greatly improved.

For ancient families like Ling Bao, the king gu must have reached an extremely high level, at least the tenth floor.

Gu worms derived from the king gu at this level would have the power of a first floor gu after borrowing the power of the king gu.

Looking at Xiao, Chen Qing once again realized the difference between him and Ji Chang.

When Chen Qing toured Jiu Li, he encountered assassinations and insults.

Ji Chang, on the other hand, didn't need to roam Da Wu to gain the support of many ancient families.

Of course, this was also related to the composition of Da Wu and Jiu Li.

Da Wu had the only emperor, Emperor Dong Hua, and all the kings submitted to Emperor Dong Hua.

Although Jiu Li had Miao Shen, it was ruled by the nine kings. Chen Qing didn't have the support of the royal family or the Perfected Cultivators.

The only king who supported him was the big sister in red from the Southern Sea. But this big sister in red was the new king, so the level of the king gu couldn't be high.

The Flame Concubine Gu given to Xuan Ping could only be said to be superior to most spirit gu, but not close to the level of the king gu.

Everyone's gaze fell on Chen Qing, waiting for him to give the order.

Chen Qing rode his green bull forward and pulled out the Dragon Sparrow Sword at his waist. "Since you don't fear death, then I can only kill you."

Xiao smiled warmly. "All this time, I didn't know what kind of king gu the king gu is, so I want to test it for Your Highness!"

"The king of literature rules the world with literature, I want to see the king's martial arts."

He stretched out his hand. "I have an immortal gourd, there are many treasures inside!"

"The first treasure is the water of Flowing Mountain, a drop of water of a thousand catties can stop a thousand soldiers!"

"One man can stop ten thousand soldiers!"

Chen Qing rode his green bull forward and rushed into the water of Flowing Mountain. Looking at the water, he suddenly recalled the sword dao obsession he absorbed at Hidden Sword Mountain.

Hidden Sword Mountain's ancestral master's sword, Thousand Folds of Waves.

Each sword was stronger than the last.

Chen Qing raised his sword. His sword was like flowing water, stirring up waves of several tens of feet. With a single slash, Chen Qing was forced to take a step back.

"Truly extraordinary!"

"It should be the Sword-Drawing Technique!"

Chen Qing raised his sword again. His entire being mobilized the power of heaven and earth. Unparalleled sword power radiated from Chen Qing's body, causing Owl to be slightly shocked.

"Master Realm?"

"Yes, he only used a move of the Grandmaster Realm, but this sword has the power of a Grandmaster!"

Under Chen Qing's sword, the Flowing Mountain Water was split into two.

Qing Shan immediately performed the Dao Severance to see the true self, which landed on Chen Qing's body.

Chen Qing immediately felt his consciousness clear up. The world was silent, and only the long sword in his hand remained.

Cutting the Dao to see the true self!

Cutting the Dao to see the true self!

Cutting away his frustrations, leaving only his body and the sword in his hand!

My actions are the Dao, and my body is the Law!

Chen Qing's sword stirred up a thousand heavy waves, and his sword broke through the dawn, severing the heavy waves!

This sword strike had truly entered the Grandmaster Realm!

Qing Shan, you really are a match for me!

With a slash of his sword, Chen Qing charged straight towards Owl while riding on the green ox.

Auspicious clouds appeared beneath the Azure Cow's feet, allowing Chen Qing to arrive before Owl in an instant.

However, Owl's expression remained unchanged. He muttered, "I have an Immortal Gourd, which contains the primordial breath of heaven and earth!

"It's the Mysterious Primordial Aura!"

The Immortal Gourd opened, and a colorful aura flew out from within, attaching itself to Owl's palm. Owl waved his long sleeves and calmly waved his palm, clashing with Chen Qing's Dragon Sparrow Sword.

Extremely powerful energy burst forth from Chen Qing's body. He parried Owl's left arm with his sword and stabbed it straight toward Owl's chest.

"A mere second-stage palm technique, Dharma Eye. You think you can stop me?"

Owl instantly felt extremely strained. Dharma Eye could practically see through the opponent's flaws when facing other people, but against a Grandmaster, it was completely powerless.

Dharma Eye was the limit of technique. It could see through the opponent's flaws.

Grandmasters pursued their own limits. There were no more flaws in their techniques. They could only press forward with indomitable momentum!

Three consecutive strikes caused the Mysterious Primordial Aura on Owl's hands to tremble. There was already a crack in the middle of his palms, and blood seeped out.

Owl's figure flashed, and he immediately appeared a hundred feet away from Chen Qing. He exclaimed, "Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, truly extraordinary!

"In terms of strength, apart from the Strength Dao Parasite King, I'm afraid there's no one in this world who can block Wen Zong's Dragon Sparrow head-on."

However, Owl's expression remained unchanged. The Mysterious Primordial Aura wrapped around his hands as he battled with Chen Qing.

Although he was forced to retreat step by step by Chen Qing, his expression remained unchanged.

Lu Shenglong said, "There are three treasures in the Immortal Gourd. When Owl fights, he only uses two treasures to defeat his opponents. Thus, no one knows what the third treasure is!

"He's obviously at a disadvantage now, but he's still fighting Wen Zong. He must have a trump card."

He looked toward Su Yi and asked, "Does Chief Su know what other treasures are contained in it?"

Su Yi calculated with his fingers, "If it's a treasure nurtured by the Ancient Green Vine of the Numinous Treasure Family, the strongest attack would be the Executing Heaven Sword Qi, the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, and the Soul Locking Hook."

"Let's see which one it is!"

When Lu Shenglong heard this, he shouted, "Wen Zong, be careful. He might still have the Executing Heaven Sword Qi, the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, and the Soul Locking Hook!"

Chen Qing immediately shivered. He had to be careful to avoid the other party's sneak attack.

The Executing Heaven Sword Qi was a strand of the Sword Qi nurtured by the Ancient Green Vine. It could destroy the stars!

The Soul Locking Hook could hook out the soul. If the soul was not strong enough, it was very likely that the soul would be destroyed in one strike.

Of course, this was also the least threat to Chen Qing. Chen Qing had experienced the bitterness of all living beings, and his soul was incomparably tough. He could withstand it.

As for the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, it was a Heavenly Demon Three-Eyed Crow at the beginning of the world. It dropped a drop of blood on the Ancient Green Vine, giving birth to one of the strongest killing treasures.

It could appear and disappear unpredictably. It could slay flying immortals in the sky and evil ghosts in the underworld.
