Longevity starts with learning

The years have passed in this world.

The Qingyun Peak is rising straight up.

The disputes surrounding this peak will never end.

The winner takes all in the sword-fighting, and becomes famous in the Changsheng Sect and rises straight up!

The loser goes down the mountain in dismay, and continues to watch.

A Qingyun Peak has set off one storm after another, sweeping across the Changsheng Sect.

And in these storms, the name of Lie Yan, just like this Qingyun Peak, has risen straight up to the ninth heaven!

In just a few years, one man and one sword, he has soared from the ninth sequence of Qingyun Peak to the third sequence of Qingyun Peak.

His sword attack is unparalleled, and he has almost become a recognized quasi-direct disciple of the Gueizhen lineage.

And the fact is exactly so.

In the Nine Veins Examination, which is the most rigorous of the Nine Veins Examination, Lie Yan, one man and one sword, forcibly broke through the three-level examination of the Gueizhen lineage.

He became the first inner disciple to pass the test of the Gueizhen lineage in hundreds of years.

Now, the Gueizhen lineage has added another direct disciple after Chu Yan, a special existence.

After this test, Lie Yan's name has spread from the fame that was originally limited to the Changsheng Sect to the outside world. Some people even listed him as the seed of the Changsheng Sect's true disciple and praised him as the direct disciple with the most hope of achieving the Changsheng true disciple.

The right and wrong, the disturbance, gradually calmed down with the passage of time.

Although the Gueizhen lineage has one more direct disciple, the specific things do not seem to have changed much.

The lineage master has not been out for many years, and the two true disciples of this lineage have all left the sect, and no news has been sent back for many years.

The Gueizhen lineage, one of the nine longevity lineages, only has two direct disciples who are only at the foundation-building stage.

The Gueizhen lineage, which was not very prominent in the Changsheng Sect due to the decline of population, has become silent again with the passage of time.

The years are like a song, passing quietly.

I don't know when, the gray-white flying boat that came out of the Gobi Desert in the northern border finally crossed the river that spanned the territory of Da Chu and entered the nearly self-contained vast sea of ​​immortal cultivation again.

The flying boat was not fast, just like an ordinary second-level flying boat, flying all the way south without any deviation, nor stopping along the way, flying at a constant speed.

Compared with the seemingly simple and ordinary flying boat, the inside of the flying boat was full of arrays and prohibitions.

The interior of the huge cabin was a mess after several years of travel. There were residues from alchemy, various traces of artifact refining, and even concave black marks left after the explosion of spiritual energy.

In this mess, there were piles of jade bottles like a small mountain, and various artifacts engraved with heavy array prohibition inscriptions piled up.

In Chu Mu's palm, the Sun True Fire was still burning, and a number of extremely mysterious inscriptions also circulated and flowed along with it, flowing along with his fingertips, all returning to the suspended object in front of him, just like a carved imprint, showing the mystery.

After a long time, the burning true fire was finally extinguished.

Chu Mu casually threw the successfully refined object to his side and fell into the pile of objects.

For several years, he had hardly stopped. Even though his physical cultivation had reached the pseudo-fourth level, Chu Mu couldn't help feeling a little tired at this moment.

The spiritual light slowly dissipated, and he looked at the mess in front of him.

For several years on the road, he had not practiced in silence, but was preparing for some needs after this voyage.

According to his thoughts, he left Changsheng Sect this time to avoid possible changes. After all, whether he was in the Wang family secret realm before, or when he went to the southwestern countries and encountered the fleeing Wang family ancestor, there were many mysteries, and it was obvious that there were extremely terrifying secrets hidden.

Judging from the change in the attitude of the two ancestors at that time, it was obvious that they did not want him to know the secrets, but the problem was that the Wang family ancestor was killed by him, and the Holy Spirit Gu was also taken away by him.

After he killed the Wang family ancestor, he originally wanted to hide outside for a while and pay attention to the reaction of Changsheng Sect, or in other words, pay attention to the reaction of the two ancestors of the Tianji lineage.

If the situation is not right, then he can only give up the identity of Changsheng Zhenchuan and continue to be a casual cultivator. If it doesn't work, the world is so big, he doesn't necessarily have to stay in the Da Chu Xiuxian world.

But later, by chance, he broke through to the pseudo-fourth level and had some self-protection power. He also learned that the two Yuanying ancestors had already rushed to the outer sea to take charge and had not returned, so he rushed back to Changsheng Sect.

When he left the sect again, he deliberately reported to the sect master and the master of the True Veins, also to test one or two.

But the result was beyond his expectations.

The Changsheng Sect Master directly approved his excuse of going out and wandering, and did not make it difficult at all.

All of this is obviously full of fog.

It is precisely for this reason that he deliberately avoided the Changsheng Sect's order system when he left Changsheng Sect to avoid being detected.

And the other arrangement is naturally his own practice.

The world of cultivation is so big that a secluded place far away from Changsheng Sect is naturally not difficult to find.

The difficulty is to avoid being spied on by people or monsters, and unnecessary complications.

Therefore, during the years of traveling, in addition to refining the spiritual resources prepared in advance into elixirs, he spent all the rest of his time preparing for the retreat.

In a foreign land, an unknown place, once the phenomenon of forming an infant occurs, it will inevitably attract attention from all sides.

No one can guarantee that there will be no malicious people.

And the core of all this is naturally the formation!

A formation that can resist possible malicious people and prevent his identity from being discovered by outsiders.

After several years of busy work, we are finally fully prepared.

Chu Mu counted the many utensils piled up in front of him. He was still a little uneasy, but gradually became calm.

With a roll of his sleeve robe, all the spiritual objects he had prepared over the years were put into the storage space for collection.

Right now, it is still quite far away from his expected destination!

In the blink of an eye, another few months passed.

The flying boat that crossed the Chu River finally sailed into the vast sea.

The flying boat still did not stop, flying slowly in the established direction.

On the flying boat, Chu Mu was no longer busy. Pills that were rarely seen in the outside world entered his belly one after another. The powerful mana surged in the cabin. His cultivation, which had already reached the late stage of the golden elixir, was slowing down in an orderly manner. Slowly move towards a higher level.

In this way, another few months passed.

The sea is boundless, but it is also calm.

The gray-white flying boat shuttled between the clouds, seemingly arriving at its destination, hovering in mid-air.

At this moment, Chu Mu, who was practicing in the cabin, seemed to have sensed the changes in the flying boat. With a slight movement of his mind, he flew from the cabin to the bow of the ship.

Looking around, the sky is vast and there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Judging from the sea map displayed by the suspended projection in the cabin, his current location is still at the edge of the inner and outer seas in the traditional sense.

However, on his chart, the sea area here was highlighted. A light blue flame inscription was clearly imprinted on the chart at this location.

"Dry Blue...Ice Flame!"

Chu Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little hot.

He looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to this place, and with one leap, he fell from the sky and submerged into the sea.

And the broken sky-breaking airship, as if it was being pulled by some kind of force, followed Chu Mu down and submerged into the sea water.

Except for some ripples of the sea water, there is no trace left in the vast sky and sea.

It plummeted into the sea water, and it didn't take long for the heavy formations he had set up here to appear in his perception.

Seeing this, Chu Mu seemed to be relieved.

The formation ban has not been destroyed, which means that he arranged it properly back then, and after leaving this place, this place has not been noticed by outsiders for many years.

The dry blue ice flame that is still gestating is still in it!

Chu Mu's heart was burning. With a roll of his sleeves, he brought the sky-breaking flying boat suspended behind him into the universe space. He stepped out with a single step, his figure flashed, and once again stepped into the frosty world where water and fire blended.

The ice flame has a specific shape. The main body of the flame is stained with layers of frost. The whole body is like a lotus flower in full bloom, one petal after another, layer upon layer, suspended in this frosty world where water and fire blend.

Looking at the dry blue ice flame, Chu Mu couldn't help but have a somewhat complicated expression.

When he first noticed the existence of this dry blue ice flame, he really didn't think about using it for himself.

After all, with his original erosive injuries and a short life span of more than two hundred years, he had to wait for the dry blue ice flame to mature, wait for his own injuries to heal, and then refine the dry blue ice flame to reach the sky and break through. To the perfection of golden elixir.

The transformation of the essence of life in the realm of Nascent Soul is still extremely far away.

At that time, he had not broken through to the pseudo-fourth level, and the journey from the late Jindan stage to the Nascent Soul realm was not as smooth as it is now.

According to his expectation, the best way is to turn this dry blue ice flame into a chance to fall on the similar flower, thus greatly accelerating its growth.

When it matures, he will pick it directly and be reborn in Nirvana, getting rid of the rotting injuries and the horror of dying.

But as the saying goes, blessings come and misfortunes come, who would have thought that he would get such a great opportunity when he originally went to the southwest for the sake of pulling the silk Gu and for his remaining wounds.

Now, without those pressing shackles, this dry blue ice flame naturally no longer needs to be used as an opportunity for Lie Yan to grow.

It can just fill his vacancy.

In the late stage of Jindan, the journey to the realm of Nascent Soul is smooth.

Refining this dry blue ice flame, not to mention the transformation of the True Fire of the Great Sun, just his practice was enough to save decades of effort.

And the achievements of these decades are still decades of accumulation of elixir resources. Otherwise, it would be difficult to compare with hundreds of years.

Back then at the bottom of the sea, the energy of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire fed back, and the leap-like speed of cultivation was still vivid in his mind.

"It should be enough to build up the golden elixir to perfection..."

Chu Mu thought to himself for a moment, and then looked at the dry blue ice flame again.

Compared with the prototype of the ice flame he had before, the dry blue ice flame at this moment is undoubtedly completely mature.

In this frost world intertwined with water and fire, three different and opposing forces all have this dry blue ice flame as the core, forming an extremely special and mysterious balance.

This means that if the dry blue ice flames move slightly, this world where water, fire, and ice are balanced will immediately burst out with terrifying power.

If an ordinary person came here, they would probably be counterattacked by the dry blue ice flame immediately, causing turmoil in this frosty world where water and fire are intertwined.

Fortunately, the last time he came here, this dry blue ice flame was still in its infancy. Taking advantage of its lack of resistance, he had already set up a formation to imprison this frosty world.

If not, he would not be greeted by this peaceful and tranquil world.

It would only be the eruption of the frost world, and this dry blue ice flame would instinctively resist his existence!

Chu Mu thought for a moment, his consciousness was like a big net, and with the help of the back-up plan he had arranged here before, he took control of this frost world of water and fire in just a few breaths.

The dry blue ice flame trembled slightly, and the flowing ice flame power prompted the lotus-shaped ice flame to rotate slowly. An instinctive resistance was also clearly reflected in his heart through the frost world.

But under the imprisonment of this long-arranged cage, the resistance of the dry blue ice flame had almost no effect, and it was even more difficult to stir up the slightest ripple.

Chu Mu's eyes were calm, and a touch of spiritual light descended, and his eyes seemed to have become a little deeper. As his consciousness flowed, each ray of consciousness was like a tiny sharp blade, cutting off the connection between this dry blue ice flame and this frost world bit by bit.

This process was almost smooth, without any obstacles or abnormalities, thanks to the many back-up measures that had been arranged long ago.

The whole process lasted for a full day and night. When the last trace of connection was cut off, the entire ice and frost world of water and fire suddenly trembled as if its balance was broken.

But without the existence of the core of Qianlan Ice Flame, the riot of the ice and frost world was ultimately not supported by the core power.

It was almost visible to the naked eye that the entire ice and frost world of water and fire collapsed like a mirror flower and water moon.

Dust returned to dust, and earth returned to earth.

In this ice and frost world, water returned to water, fire returned to fire, and ice returned to ice. Under the rapid collapse and melting, the mysterious and special things here disappeared without a trace in just a few breaths.

Only the remaining water and fire were left to surge and fight against each other, and there were also pieces of ice and frost surging under the water, but without exception, they were all melting rapidly.

In the end, this frost world also revealed its original form. The exposed coral reefs, after years of ice and fire, were stained with a bit of light blue, becoming a very good spiritual material.

The bottom of the water was dark, and there was nothing special except this still suspended dry blue ice flame.

Chu Mu looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Tens of thousands of years of heaven and earth creation, just a few breaths of time, completely annihilated, without leaving the slightest trace.

No wonder, this world of immortal cultivation is becoming more and more desolate, and immortal cultivation is becoming more and more difficult...
