Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 294: Secrets of the Ancient Era, the Fusion Phenomenon

Three months later.

Many forces have prepared a large amount of Supreme Grade spirit stones, Rank Four materials, and Rank Four spiritual medicines, etc.

After all, mobilizing such a large amount of resources still requires a lot of time.

Fortunately, these forces also wanted to rescue the Nascent Soul Ancestor as soon as possible, so they greatly shortened the time.

Otherwise, three months might not be enough.

Next, following Zhou Sui's instructions, they threw these treasures into the Soul Formation ruins.

Of course, Zhou Sui is a man of his word.

Since they paid the ransom, naturally all of them were released.

Buzz~~

Suddenly, an invisible force enveloped Wuji Daoist and the others, instantly sending all these Nascent Soul cultivators out of the Withering Glory Sect's island and into the sea outside in the blink of an eye.

"We're out, after being trapped for several years, we're finally out."

Many Nascent Soul cultivators were overjoyed and felt extremely excited.

They had been imprisoned for several years, losing their freedom. At this moment, they realized the value of freedom.

It was like escaping from death.

Standing in mid-air one by one, they breathed in the fresh air of the outside world.

"What do you think of the descendants of the Withering Glory Sect?"

The owner of the Mysterious Treasure Building, Tian Suan Daoist, had a gloomy expression. To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a big loss.

As a businessman, he had always taken advantage of others, never allowing others to take advantage of him.

But now, he had been ruthlessly deceived.

It made him feel extremely painful, and it could be considered the heaviest loss the Mysterious Treasure Building had ever suffered.

If he didn't want revenge, that would be impossible.

"Hmph, with the protection of a Rank Five formation, what can we do?"

"It's best not to leave this island, otherwise my Mysterious Yin Sect won't let him off."

The Lord of the Mysterious Yin Sect, Qiqing Mojun, gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at the huge Withering Glory Sect island in the distance.

At this moment, the Soul Formation ruins were once again shrouded in white mist, making it impossible to see what was happening inside the island, but even more terrifying prohibition formations were released from within.

It was as if the island had come alive, countless prohibition formations intertwined with each other, forming a three-dimensional defense that was even more terrifying than before.

Obviously, this was a Rank Five formation, the mountain-protecting formation of the Soul Formation Sect.

If no one maintained its operation, it would be fine, and after years of continuous attacks, it might still be possible to break through.

But now someone had started to operate this formation, increasing its power by at least ten times.

If they rashly attacked, they would probably face a terrible counterattack.

After all, no one knew what kind of abilities this Rank Five formation still possessed.

Although Qiqing Mojun was angry, he also knew how to judge the situation and would not act rashly.

"Based on the materials required by that mysterious Taoist, many of them are actually formation materials."

"Perhaps this Rank Five formation on the island is not as powerful as imagined, and there may be many flaws."

"That's why this mysterious Taoist needs to obtain formation materials for repairs."

"If we join forces, we may not be unable to break through this island."

The Lord of Black Fiend Hall, Lihai Mojun, hinted, attempting to incite numerous Nascent Soul cultivators to attack the island again.

As long as they don't fall into the formation, they still have a chance of winning.

"Hehe, Lihai Mojun, if you want to attack, go ahead yourself. Why drag us down?"

"Indeed, as you said, perhaps this Rank Five formation has flaws and can only be used a few times."

"But are you willing to bet?"

"Do you know how many Nascent Soul cultivators need to die in order to make the formation collapse?"

"Maybe with good luck, only a few dozen deaths are enough to break the formation, but with bad luck, even if we all die, we still won't be able to break it."

Wuji Daoren sneered, seeing through Lihai Mojun's intentions at a glance.

To be honest, cultivators who can reach the Nascent Soul stage are all selfish and afraid of death.

Who would be willing to risk their lives to test the depth of the formation for others?

They still have hundreds of years to live and many honors and riches to enjoy.

There is no need to fight to the death here.

Since they have come this far, they naturally don't want to take risks easily.

Even if Lihai Mojun is a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he cannot force other Nascent Soul cultivators to die for him.

But if it's just cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, then it's simply sending them to their deaths, unable to probe the details of the Rank Five formation.

"That's right, let's just consider ourselves unlucky this time."

"My Sunset Sect doesn't want to get involved in this matter."

"Now that this Soul Formation relic has an owner, there is no need to continue exploring."

"My Sunset Sect has decided to give up attacking this place."

The Sect Master of Sunset Sect, Yuyang Daoren, made preparations to give up. Even though they were tricked by the mysterious Taoist this time, he still endured it, considering it a lesson learned.

"You're right."

"If you demonic cultivators want to attack, go ahead and try."

"My Heavenly Sword Sect won't get involved either."

The Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect, Chongxu Daoren, also nodded.

What?!

Upon hearing this, many Nascent Soul demonic cultivators had unpleasant expressions. They didn't expect these righteous path Nascent Soul cultivators to be so patient. Clearly, they were swindled out of a large sum of money, yet they were unwilling to seek revenge.

But if they were to proceed without the participation of these righteous path Nascent Soul cultivators, their chances of success would not be great.

It is very likely that they would be counterattacked by the power of the Rank Five formation and die.

In that case, these righteous path cultivators would actually benefit.

Perhaps this is exactly what these shameless righteous cultivators are thinking, wanting to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Watching them fight each other, both sides suffering losses.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!

Before these Nascent Soul demonic cultivators could say anything, the five Nascent Soul forces - Infinite Unity Alliance, Mysterious Treasure Building, Heavenly Sword Sect, Sunset Sect, and Ethereal Palace - immediately controlled their flying boats and quickly left.

In the blink of an eye, only the three demonic sects - Black Fiend Hall, Heavenly Demon Sect, and Mysterious Yin Sect - remained in this sea area.

"These damn bastards, they actually left," the Lord of Black Fiend Hall, Demon Lord Liehai, was infuriated to the point of half-death. The departure of these righteous Nascent Soul cultivators completely shattered his plans, and now he was left with no way to fight back.

"Could it be that these old guys have discovered something, so they dare not attack this Soul Formation relic again?" Qian Ziyun, the Sect Master of Heavenly Demon Sect, flickered her beautiful eyes uncertainly.

She was an extremely intelligent woman and instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

To be honest, she also hated this mysterious Daoist to the bone. She had never suffered such a big loss in her life. In her entire life, she had roamed the Canglan Sea Region and had never been extorted like this.

But there was nothing she could do.

In order to stay alive, she had to agree to the other party's demands.

"The fact that these narrow-minded old guys have suppressed their anger must mean that they have discovered something extraordinary."

"Before thoroughly understanding the details of Withering Glory Sect, we should not act rashly."

"There is no need to rush for revenge."

The Lord of Mysterious Yin Sect, Demon Lord Qiqing, said in a deep voice. He had also calmed down now.

"In that case, let's temporarily stop for now."

"After finding a way to break the Rank Five formation, we can come back and compete with this guy."

Demon Lord Liehai had no choice but to consider the situation in the long term.

...

At this time, on a flying boat.

The Sect Masters and Nascent Soul elders of Nascent Soul forces such as Mysterious Treasure Building, Infinite Unity Alliance, Heavenly Sword Sect, Ethereal Palace, and Sunset Sect gathered together to hold a Nascent Soul meeting.

"Fellow Daoist Chongxu, what exactly did you perceive? Why are you so anxious for us to leave?" Wuji Daoist looked at Chongxu Daoist, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect.

Originally, he also wanted to test the power of the Withering Glory Sect's Rank Five formation, but after receiving a secret message from Chongxu Daoist, he chose to follow him and leave.

After all, Chongxu Daoist was his good friend for many years, and he naturally wouldn't deceive him.

"That Soul Formation relic is probably not simple."

"If I'm not mistaken, it may seal a Soul Formation monster."

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the Nascent Soul cultivators present contracted their pupils and looked at Chongxu Daoist in disbelief.

They certainly know what the Soul Formation demon represents; it is an unprecedented disaster.

If the Soul Formation demon really escapes from inside, no one will survive.

"Is it true or false? Fellow Daoist Chongxu, what did you discover?"

Yuyang Daoist was very surprised and wanted to understand the situation of the Soul Formation demon.

Because this matter is of great importance.

A careless word could cause a huge wave in the Canglan Sea Region.

Causing countless deaths and injuries.

"My intuition is not wrong."

"Because this sword in my hand is the ancient spiritual sword - the Demon Slayer Sword."

"This ancient spiritual sword has killed countless demons, and is extremely sensitive to the aura of demons."

"The moment I stepped into the Soul Formation ruins, this Demon Slayer Sword kept warning me."

"It seems to be warning me that this place is the lair of the Soul Formation demon and is extremely dangerous."

Chongxu Daoist's tone was very serious.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators have naturally heard of the reputation of the Demon Slayer Sword. This ancient spiritual sword is extremely powerful and is the supreme spiritual sword left by the founder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

With the power of this ancient spiritual sword, coupled with the attack power of sword cultivators, each generation of the Heavenly Sword Sect's sect master has unparalleled combat power and is known as the number one cultivator in the Canglan Sea Region.

"By the way, I was wondering before, how did the Withering Glory Sect, which is so powerful, get destroyed?"

"The power of the Rank Five High Grade formation, the Withering Glory Formation, is simply invincible."

"Even if it was the Soul Formation Ancestor, they would probably not be afraid."

Normally, it would be impossible for the Withering Glory Sect to be annihilated and would definitely have survived until today.

Now it seems that the culprit who destroyed the Withering Glory Sect is likely to be the Soul Formation demon.

The host of the Mysterious Treasure Building, Tian Suandao, had a gleam in his eyes, as if he remembered many ancient hidden messages.

"Previously, that mysterious Daoist listed a lot of Rank Four materials for us."

"Among them is the Rank Four material, the Sealing Stone."

"Could it be that this mysterious Daoist wants to repair the formation that seals the demon, so he is asking for these Rank Four materials?"

Ye Feirou, the master of the Ethereal Palace, had a glimmer of light in her beautiful eyes.

Deep down, she couldn't help but feel a little fondness for that wooden Daoist. To be honest, she originally thought this guy was a charlatan, a reckless madman, not much different from a demonic cultivator.

But now, it seems that he is truly a righteous person burdened with a heavy responsibility.

"In that case, that Soul Formation ruins really might seal a Soul Formation demon?"

"No wonder you wanted us to leave and not continue attacking the Soul Formation ruins."

"I'm afraid that if we break through the Rank Five formation, it might let the Soul Formation demon inside escape."

Wuji Daoist suddenly realized.

He also understood many of Chongxu Daoist's concerns.

Indeed, the Soul Formation ruins of the Withering Glory Sect left behind many spiritual medicines and a large number of treasures.

But no matter how good the treasure is, it still needs to be enjoyed with fate.

If the Soul Formation demons inside were really let out, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present would die.

It might even harm countless beings in the Canglan Sea Region.

"But if that's the case, why didn't that mysterious Taoist inform us proactively?"

"If we knew that there were Soul Formation demons here, we might not have continued to attack."

Yu Yang Dao Ren asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid the other party doesn't trust us."

"After all, there are all kinds of cultivators in this world."

"Who knows if the other party is a lunatic who wants to release the Soul Formation demons."

"The other party doesn't dare to gamble on this point, so naturally they won't tell anyone about the Soul Formation demons."

Chong Xu Dao Ren voiced his speculation.

"I see."

Many Nascent Soul cultivators nodded involuntarily. If they were descendants of the Withering Glory Sect, they probably wouldn't let this matter leak out unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one knows what the other party is thinking.

If someone really knew this information and wanted to break the seal formation above, it would be a great disaster.

So the other party simply doesn't dare to take the risk.

"Fellow Daoists."

"I'm actually very curious, where do these demons come from?"

"As far as I know, it seems that demons didn't originally exist in our world."

"Suddenly, one day, demons appeared in our world. Why is that?"

A Nascent Soul cultivator asked curiously.

After all, it seems that information about demons has been blocked by some forces.

Ordinary cultivators simply can't know about such things.

"This question is simple, because demons are not originally creatures of our world."

"They come from the Ancient Demon Realm."

Chong Xu Dao Ren said in a deep voice.

"Ancient Demon Realm?"

Many Nascent Soul cultivators looked at Chong Xu Dao Ren curiously. They knew that the Heavenly Sword Sect had a very ancient history, and the founder of the Heavenly Sword Sect had fought countless times with demons. They must have a good understanding of the history of demons.

That's right, it's the Ancient Demon Realm."

"I believe you have read the classics and know that there are many worlds in the endless void."

"Our world is also one of them in the endless void."

"Although the distance between worlds is extremely far, even Soul Formation cultivators cannot cross the endless void and travel to another world."

"But accidents do happen."

"That's called a fusion of worlds."

Chong Xu Dao Ren said in a deep voice.

"Fusion? What does that mean?"

Many Nascent Soul cultivators became even more confused, as if they were in a fog.

"The so-called fusion means that two worlds merge with each other."

"In the endless void, each world is not stationary, in fact, each world is in motion."

"Even our world is like this, moving along a certain trajectory in the endless void."

"Normally, many worlds move along a certain trajectory and will not collide with each other."

"But accidents always happen."

"In the history of our cultivation world, there have been several instances of world fusion."

Chong Xu Dao Ren explained.

"If a fusion occurs, what will happen to our cultivation world?"

Someone asked curiously.

"Dimensional gates will appear."

"Because two worlds collide, a temporary Integrated Union phenomenon will occur."

"At this time, dimensional gates will appear all over the world."

"And at this time, the creatures of the two worlds can freely travel between the two worlds through the dimensional gates."

Chong Xu Dao Ren explained.

"Wait, are demons entering our world through the dimensional gates?"

Many Nascent Soul cultivators' pupils contracted. They seemed to have glimpsed what happened in ancient times. The disasters that occurred in ancient times were likely to be closely related to the fusion of worlds.

Many scattered demons were also closely related to the fusion of worlds.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

"In ancient times, the Ancient Demon Realm and our cultivation world experienced a fusion of worlds."

"As you can imagine, a large number of demons entered our cultivation world through the dimensional gates."

"And caused an unprecedented catastrophe."

"Our cultivation world was originally flourishing, with many Soul Formation sects and even Rank Five spiritual veins."

"Occasionally, there would even be Soul Formation cultivators ascending to the spiritual realm."

"But due to the invasion of the Ancient Demon Realm, a large number of demons appeared in the cultivation world, burning, killing, and looting."

"In order to resist them, many Soul Formation sects perished."

"Fortunately, the fusion phenomenon lasted for a relatively short time, only three hundred years."

"After three hundred years, the Ancient Demon Realm left."

"But a large number of demons stayed behind and have been continuously causing harm to the cultivation world."

Chong Xu Dao Ren said in a low voice, recounting the events that happened in ancient times.

Originally, during ancient times, many Rank Five spiritual veins were still being nurtured.

Rank Four spiritual veins are also everywhere, and the cultivation world is in an extremely prosperous era.

However, due to the invasion of demons and the great war with cultivators, the two sides fought fiercely, causing many spiritual veins to collapse and even be contaminated by demons.

Over time, many spiritual veins dispersed.

So far, in the Canglan Sea Region, Rank Five spiritual veins can no longer be seen.

Of course, due to the return of the Withering Glory Sect's Soul Formation relics, the Canglan Sea Region once again has Rank Five spiritual veins.

"This!"

Many Nascent Soul cultivators were shocked. They never expected that such a thing would happen in the ancient cultivation world. It was like an epic.

No one knows how many cultivators perished in the battle against demons.

Many relics of Soul Formation and Nascent Soul were left behind from the ancient era.

Now they can never be restored, the glory of the ancient cultivation world.

This is not because they are incapable. It is purely because the current cultivation environment cannot compare to the ancient era.

"I have read ancient texts, and it seems that not only the ancient demon realm but also other worlds have experienced similar fusion phenomena."

"Has another world also experienced fusion with our cultivation world?"

Someone curiously asked.

"Yes, there is another world that has fused with us."

"That is the ancient demon realm."

"It is rumored that all the creatures in that world are demons and demon beasts, without the existence of humans."

"There were no demon beasts in the ancient cultivation world."

"But since the fusion between the ancient demon realm and our cultivation world, a large number of monsters and demon beasts have moved from the ancient demon realm to our cultivation world."

"And that fusion lasted for thousands of years, so it had a more profound impact on our cultivation world."

"Now, in various places in our cultivation world, the presence of demon beasts, in fact, originates from the influence of the ancient demon realm."

"But although the ancient demon realm is powerful, it is only on par with us and has not caused us much harm."

"After all, demon beasts and humans can barely coexist. We all have wisdom and know that if we can't win, we can negotiate and live in peace with each other."

"But demons are different. They are not only enemies of humans but also enemies of demons."

Chong Xu Dao Ren said in a deep voice.

His attitude towards demons is resolute: only dead demons are good demons.

"Demon beasts actually come from the ancient demon realm?!"

Many Nascent Soul cultivators were shocked and listened with fascination. Only ancient sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect could have such a wealth of ancient texts.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, without inheritance, would not know this information.

"If that's the case, is it possible for fusion to occur again?"

Someone curiously asked.

"To be honest, the probability of the fusion phenomenon happening again is not nonexistent."

"But I think at least among our generation, perhaps we won't be able to witness it."

Chongxu Daoist said calmly.

After all, the meeting of the two realms is very rare, often happening only once every tens of thousands of years.

In such a long time, they would probably have exhausted their lifespan and died.

He also didn't believe that he would be so lucky to encounter the fusion of realms in his lifetime.

"But should we just give up on the many millennium elixirs left on the Withering Glory Sect island?"

Some people still felt unwilling.

After all, this is related to their path to enlightenment, and no one wants to give up.

"Well, although we can't attack the Withering Glory Sect, it doesn't mean we can't obtain the millennium elixirs there."

"In the world, it's not only through fighting that we can obtain treasures."

"Through trade, we can achieve the same goal."

The host of the Mysterious Treasure Building, Tian Suan Daoist, smiled faintly.

Trade?!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up, and they also thought of this possibility.

"That's right."

"As far as I know, there are probably only a few people left on the entire Withering Glory Sect island."

"But with so many millennium elixirs there, the mysterious Daoist alone can't use them all."

"Things that can't be used up can be traded without any problem."

"And if the other party wants to restore the Rank Five formation there, they will probably need more Rank Five materials."

"These things can be obtained by searching the entire Canglan Sea Region."

"We're not afraid that the other party will have demands, we're afraid that they won't have any."

Tian Suan Daoist showed a confident look.

After all, the Mysterious Treasure Building is an organization that does business, and he believes that there is nothing in the world that cannot be traded.

As long as the needs of both parties can be found, it will work.

"That's true. If the other party wants to revive the Withering Glory Sect, we can probably assist them."

"But before that, we need to establish a good relationship with them."

"Only then can we possibly trade for the suitable elixirs."

Yuyang Daoist also nodded involuntarily.

Since they can't turn against the other party, they can only establish a good relationship.

Once a good relationship is established, they can also obtain millennium elixirs from the other party.

Of course, if possible, they still want to snatch them.

The problem is, they can't defeat the other party, so now they can only reason with them.
