Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 218 The Chart of the King's Path

Ji Chang first met Zhou Li on a cold night.

Originally, Chen Qing only wanted to know the origin of the Nine Dragon Sculpture, but he found Ji Chang in Zhou Li's memory, so he took a look.

In the snow, Zhou Li was chased by the Extreme Light Sect and fell in a ruined temple.

The one who saved Zhou Li was just an ordinary girl. The girl begged for a living.

In order to save Zhou Li, the girl used every method she could think of.

Zhou Li watched silently and healed himself.

In fact, these mortal medicines were of no use to him.

But it was undeniable that if it wasn't for the girl begging for food, he would have starved to death.

Because there were many Extreme Light Sect members searching for him, he couldn't show himself. Plus, he was seriously injured, so it wasn't suitable for him to show up.

The first thing Zhou Li said after waking up in front of the girl was: "Why did you save me?"

The girl didn't say that she was kind and pitied him. Instead, she analyzed seriously: "You're seriously injured. If you can survive with such injuries, your martial arts must be very good."

"People like you, after experiencing life and death, might be tired of fighting and killing.

If I persuade you, you might be willing to live in seclusion with me. "

"Then we'll have a lot of children. You'll farm and teach them martial arts when you're free."

"I'll cook and make clothes, and we'll live a good life together."

"This way, I'll have someone to rely on. I won't have to beg every day, and I can live a good life."

Zhou Li said coldly: "Unfortunately, your idea won't work."

The girl didn't understand: "Why?"

Zhou Li said calmly: "Because I can live for 500 years."

The girl was disappointed.

After saying that, Zhou Li left.

He didn't dare to look back, because he was a little tempted.

This wasn't right.

This was damaging to the Dao Heart.

So-called cultivators should come to this world naked, walk through this world naked, and then be the companion of cultivation naked.

There was nothing else.

Unfortunately, a cultivator's heart was harder than iron. They would risk everything for their cultivation.

When he first met Ji Chang, he didn't want to follow him.

However, Ji Chang took out a painting. In the painting, the girl was embroidering flowers in front of his mansion.

Zhou Li sat down calmly in front of Ji Chang. "Is she happy and healthy all her life?"

Ji Chang said calmly, "As long as you want to."

Zhou Li cupped his hands together. "I am willing to follow Your Highness."

It was that simple. There wasn't much to it.

Ji Chang helped Zhou Li to make up for the debt in his heart. Hence, Zhou Li followed Ji Chang into the Death Realm and fought for him.

Chen Qing opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Li's head. "He's not a bad person."

Chen Qing said quietly, "But he's an enemy."

Everyone had their own Jianghu. Zhou Li's encounters had nothing to do with Chen Qing. Only his life and death were related to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing picked up Zhou Li's remaining special Gu worm and looked at it.

[Spirit grade Spell Gu · Nine Heads]

Quality: Gu Rank One

Lifespan: 1/120

Effect: Can control four strength Gu and form a diagram on the back.

Characteristics:

[Combination of Spirit and Strength]: Gather the entire body's strength with a raise of the hand (other strength Gu cannot exceed the strength of this Gu).

[Dragon Abyss Qi]: This Gu was born from the Dragon Abyss King Gu, so it can control spirit grade strength Gu.

(no longer effective)

Growth requirement: Dragon tear

Growth progress: 0/100

Advancement requirement: One spirit rhino bone, nine mortal strength Gu, twelve strands of dragon qi.

So it was someone from Dragon Abyss. It was unknown why the king Gu, Dragon Abyss, was in the hands of the Da Hou aristocratic family and not Dragon Palace.

Chen Qing was quite interested in the effect of this combination of spirit and strength. Unfortunately, he had dragon elephant Gu and the divine ability, Heavenly Transformation, his strength was too great, it was beyond the range of the nine heads' control.

Even if he had a contract, it was useless.

It was more suitable to be his vital Gu or a strength path Gu worm that he cultivated.

He had no use for it.

Chen Qing picked up the jade bottle and asked: "Who killed him?"

Wei Qing Chen stepped forward: "I did it!"

Chen Qing smiled as he threw the jade bottle over: "I swallowed his soul, I already know the evolution diagram of this Gu. Take it and make a contract with it, I will teach you how to use it."

Wei Qing Chen was overjoyed, he lacked this kind of Gu worm that could change his strength and allow his strength to transform again.

At his current position, as Chen Qing's trusted general, ordinary spirit grade Gu worms were nothing in his eyes.

But a Gu worm born from a king Gu like Nine Dragon Diagram was still very coveted.

"Thank you, Wen Zong!"

Chen Qing said: "This Nine Dragon Diagram was born from Dragon Abyss King Gu, now that Zhou Li was killed by us, the owner of that Dragon Abyss King Gu must know."

"Thus, it will lose the support of the king Gu and lose a portion of its power, but it is not bad."

"Your martial path attainment level is higher than Zhou Li, it might be more effective in your hands."

Wei Qing Chen still had some doubts, "But Wen Zong, this Gu was born from Dragon Abyss King Gu, will the owner of Dragon Abyss King Gu affect the ownership of this Gu worm?"

Chen Qing knew that the Spiritual Venomous Insects bred by this kind of Venomous Insect King were far stronger than ordinary Spiritual Venomous Insects. Some Venomous Insects Kings had the means to control Spiritual Venomous Insects.

"This Gu will not, you can use it without worry."

Wei Qing Chen heard Chen Qing's words and relaxed.

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he could not suppress the blood in his throat and coughed it out.

The generals around him turned pale with fright, they gathered around and supported Chen Qing.

"Wen Zong, your injuries are too severe!"

"Wen Zong, are you alright?"

Chen Qing waved his hand slightly, "Killer Taoist's two hundred years of killing intent condensed into one sword, that sword is already a grandmaster's sword."

"Although I am a pseudo grandmaster, I will need some time to break it."

"Leave a letter for Ji Dang, we are going to Bridge of Helplessness."

Wei Qing Chen asked: "Wen Zong, what should we write?"

Chen Qing took a deep breath, "Write: In front of Bridge of Helplessness, I challenge you to a battle!"

"If I show my fear now, it will only expose my injuries."

"Only by inviting him to a battle openly and in an imposing manner will he feel a trace of vigilance!"

"Let the surrounding Dragon Abyss Army be afraid, they will not dare to kill us easily!"

Leaving behind a letter and hanging it on Zhou Li's head, Chen Qing sat on the black ox and suppressed his injuries as he continued towards the Bridge of Helplessness.

Three days later, Ji Chang arrived before the Crossing of Bones on the back of a dragon. Accompanying him was the Killer Taoist who seemed to have one foot in the grave.

The strike from before had basically used up all of his effort, so there were still some repercussions.

Ji Chang's gaze landed on Zhou Li's head. He extended his hand and closed Zhou Li's eyes that had yet to close.

Afterwards, he took down the letter, "Take it down and bury it properly."

Ji Chang opened the letter Chen Qing had left behind. There were only a few short sentences.

[To Ji Chang,

In the human world, I've heard of your wisdom and prowess, but unfortunately, I've never had the chance to meet you.

Since you desire to meet me and pursue me relentlessly, I'll fulfill your wish.

There are two grandmasters in the Death World, but I don't believe it.

As a result, I challenge you to a battle before the Bridge of Helplessness!

Greetings, Qing Xu.]

After Ji Chang finished reading, he passed the letter to the Deep Jade Dragoness and passed it on to Xiao and the Killer Taoist.

"How did you lose that day?"

The Killer Taoist said, "I worshipped the king with the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception and offered my sword to Qing Xu. He turned around and left."

"However, what he didn't know was that once the offering of the sword to the king began, it would never end. I slashed out with my two hundred years of cultivation and took him down."

"Originally, I thought he was dead for sure. Who would have thought that he would rise up unscathed and lead the Dragon Stallion Army towards us in fury?"

"I used up all of my strength and spiritual qi in that strike. I was already exhausted, so I could only let Zhou Li lead the army to stop him."

"I still underestimated the Dragon Stallion Army in the end."

"Once the Dragon Stallion Army led by Qing Xu charged, it really did seem like a black cloud was descending on a city."

"Our army could not stop him. If we could not stop his charge, we would definitely lose."

"We did not have the ability to stop the entire army. As a result, Zhou Li led thirty-two Mountain Splitters and forcefully cut off Qing Xu's central army, cutting off the tail of his army. Then, we began to surround and kill him!"

"Qing Xu saw that the situation was bad. He and his valiant general Lu Shenglong each led an army to cut off our army so that the army outside could not support Zhou Li."

"Zhou Li fought back and killed the enemy while surrounded by hundreds of Dragon Stallion Army."

"Everything was fine at first. However, according to the soldiers who retreated, they saw the Headless Dragon Stallion Army that Zhou Li had killed and attacked Zhou Li again!"

"Zhou Li did not expect such a sudden change and was killed by the Dragon Legion. Wei Qingchen cut off Zhou Li's head, and our army was defeated."

Ji Chang listened to the Killer Taoist's explanation and said, "There's nothing wrong with your strategy. You've only failed because you don't know what the king gu of Green Ruins is, and you don't know the exact strength of the Dragon Stallion army."

"Looking at it now, the Dragon Stallion Army is truly unstoppable."

Ji Chang extended his hand towards the Deep Jade Dragoness. "Retrieve the Monarch Dao Catalog."

The Green Abyss Dragon Girl rummaged in her chest and took out a scroll that was still warm, and handed it to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang opened it and carefully read the words on it.

After a moment, he said calmly, "The thirty-sixth Way of the Monarch, Royal Heaven Empress!"

The Killer Taoist said, "If this king gu is so domineering, why is it only ranked thirty-sixth?"

The Green Abyss Dragon Girl said, "This gu rarely appears in the world. In fact, there's only a vague legend about it in the past, but there's never been any record of it actually appearing."

"The last record was during the Era of the Gods. You should know that things in the Era of the Gods are unclear now."

"Therefore, the information about this gu is also very ominous. We only know that it has the ability to revive the dead."

"It didn't die after being hit by your sword, and the soldiers under its command are suspected to be undying. That should be it."

The Killer Taoist was slightly curious. "Then, what's the ranking of the Godfiend of Six Paths?"

The Green Abyss Dragon Girl said, "These are all conclusions from the battles between kings. They're actually not very accurate."

"For example, the Dragon Abyss king gu is ranked sixty-seventh. In the hands of my Dragon Palace, it once defeated the Sky Beyond Heaven king gu that was ranked fifty-fourth."

"But now, in the hands of your Great Wu, it can't even defeat the Bronze Wanxiang king that's ranked seventy-eighth."

Seeing that the Green Abyss Dragon Girl couldn't get to the point, the Killer Taoist said, "Just tell me, what's the ranking of the Godfiend of Six Paths?"

The Green Abyss Dragon Girl glanced at Ji Chang. After seeing him nod, she said, "Fifth on the Path of Kings, Extreme Strength."

"Legend has it that it has the power to carry heaven and earth."

"Above it are the Four Pillars of Heaven and Earth, Cicada and Butterfly, Destiny and Aurora."

"Cicada and Butterfly are unknown. Destiny is in the hands of Great Wu, so only Great Wu has an emperor."

"Aurora was in the hands of the Aurora Sect before the Era of the Gods, but it never appeared again."

The Killer Taoist said, "That is to say, the Godfiend of Six Paths is the strongest king gu that people can obtain?"

The Green Abyss Dragon Girl said, "You can sort of understand it that way."

Ji Chang bent down slightly and took off his cloak to cover Zhou Li.

"That's not the most terrifying thing."

The Killer Taoist asked, "What's more terrifying?"

"The Godfiend of Six Paths carries heaven and earth, but it didn't appear three hundred years ago."

"And now, it's very likely that the initial state of the Godfiend of Six Paths isn't the first floor, but something even higher."

At this moment, Killer Taoist finally understood why the Battle of the Death Realm this time was so tragic.

The great Zhou Li was unrivaled in the same realm in the world.

But here, he was buried in a desolate grave after just one battle.

Xiao said seriously, "The one who obtains this gu will definitely be crowned as a civil or martial king. If there's a chance, I'll ask for the position of True Immortal."

Ji Chang waved his hand, "It's all unrealistic."

"No matter how strong the Godfiend of Six Paths is, it can only be considered strong if it can be obtained. What's the difference if it can't be obtained?"

"Let's analyze Qing Xu's actions."

Hearing Ji Chang's words, everyone calmed down. The Green Abyss Dragon Girl said, "I think this letter is just to confuse us."

"That Qing Xu must be heavily injured right now. All we need to do is to suppress him and he'll lose for sure."

Ji Chang nodded, "That makes sense. But I don't dare to say too much about the uses of the king gu."

"Of course, I'm sure that Qing Xu's king gu is only the first floor."

"With his age and cultivation level, he won't be able to bear the cost of going up the stairs."

"Of course, that's not the most important thing. What we need to know is whether he's going to the Bridge of Helplessness."

Xiao flicked his sleeves and sat down, "If it's really the Bridge of Helplessness, why would he tell us so directly? It's more like a bait to lure us over. In fact, he's going to another enemy."

"Master once told me not to believe a single word from women and enemies."

The Green Abyss Dragon Girl said angrily, "Looking at their route, they're clearly going to the Bridge of Helplessness!"

"Moreover, our scorched earth strategy has no merit points in other cities except Heavenly Dragon City."

"Only the yao have stored merit points. They're definitely going to meet up with the yao!"

Ji Chang frowned slightly, "Stop arguing. Others might lie to us, but the information won't."

"Give me a conch. I remember Wangji is nearby. Ask him about the yao's movements."

The Green Abyss Dragon Girl took out a conch the size of a palm. She cast a spell and opened the conch, passing it to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang asked, "Master Wangji, what's the situation now?"

But strangely, it wasn't Wangji's voice, but a clear and loud female voice.

"Who are you?"
