Longevity begins with Gu refining

Chapter 281
Everyone has their own things to do, everyone has their own expectations.

The Wen Kingdom is developing steadily in this way, taking the dead world as the base point, gradually implementing its own rule, and becoming a country based on Nanli.

In Quantai City, the five hundred newly-promoted Ghost Faces obtained their official positions from Ji Ru, so they went to Wenwang Temple to obtain tokens.

After getting the token, he started to rush to his own territory and start his own mission.

The most urgent task now is still the excavation of the river channel.

This is an extremely large project.

Now the person in charge of Quantai City is Ji Ru.

In the eyes of the world, this is Chen Qing trying to bridge the relationship with Da Yan.

At the same time, it was also telling Emperor Donghua that the battle between Nanli and Da Yan was completely over.

Everyone has obtained their own fruits of victory, and it will take a while to digest.

Li Chonghuan and the little Tianshi Fengyi of the Tianshi Mansion saw more, which indicated that Chen Qing would also join the battle to win the title of the next Donghua Emperor of Dayao.

For this, Li Chonghuan was not surprised, he had already seen that Chen Qing would not be willing to be lonely.

In this era, the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation are undoubtedly Li Chonghuan, Chen Qing, and Feng Yi.

One is the little Celestial Master of Tianshi Mansion who is invincible in the Tongtian Realm.

One is Li Chonghuan, the god son of Xianting. Although Li Chonghuan was defeated in the dead world, his record is not bad. Even if he is defeated, he is alone in the battle of the three kings.

With one enemy and three, Ji Dang's reinforcements were about to be supported, and the practitioners under his command were the first to be defeated, and he was not to blame for the defeat.

There is also Chen Qing who has established a thousand-year career in the dead world, who is reckless and reigns king, and is backed by the Aurora Sect, Nanli, and Jianyou Palace.

All three of them have countless supporters and can almost represent the will of a great religion.

Emperor Donghua didn't care about these at all, because he knew that these three people just wanted to have a certain Emperor Donghua as an ally.

And the new Emperor Donghua really needs a strong ally.

As for supporting an emperor of Donghua as a puppet, the world will only think it is stupid.

Dayong has been in charge of the destiny of the world for tens of thousands of years, and there has never been a puppet emperor.

Above the throne, he may be just a prince, but once he ascends to the throne, he is the Emperor Donghua who looks down on the world, the supreme emperor.

But Chen Qing is not very concerned about these things at this time, he is more concerned about the precious legacy left by the so-called King Ling.

He really wanted to know why the method of gathering spiritual energy was lost.

This is almost impossible.

There is no one who will not like this method.

Back at the palace in Quantai City, after a light meal, Yu Qingshuang reached out to undress and took off his cloak, "Junior brother, it's time to go to bed."

Chen Qing reached out and held Yu Qingshuang's smooth little hand, "Yes."

The next day, after Chen Qing and Ji Ru exchanged some questions about the current death world, they were ready to leave immediately.

Ji Ru said: "The Dead Sea is so big, you just take the undead dragon army to dig, I don't know how long it will take."

"How about I go too?"

Chen Qing thought for a moment, "It's not bad that you have the Blessing Gu of Rank Nine Compatible Dao, so let's go along with you all the way."

"Maybe it can taint some of your good luck."

Coming to the Dead Sea again, Chen Qing took out the map, "According to what Ting Yun said, if we go forward [-] miles, we will almost reach the former battlefield."

After three days of hard work, they finally came to the former ancient battlefield. Unfortunately, all they could see at this moment was the boundless Dead Sea.

Chen Qing began to punctuate the map, "These are the locations, let's dig down."

Asking Ji Ru and Yu Qingshuang to practice on the shore, Chen Qing led an army of 150 undead dragons into the Dead Sea and started digging.

Chen Qing moved forward with the undead dragon army, and began to dig among the endless bones of the dead seabed.

Due to the heavy pressure of the Dead Sea, even the Undead Dragon Army, which has the power to open mountains, is not digging fast at this moment.

Digging down one mile a day is already the limit.

This is just the beginning, and the further you get to the back, the more difficult it is to dig, because you have to avoid being buried alive by the collapsed bones.

After digging for a month, Chen Qing still didn't find anything.

I asked Ji Ru during the period, but Ji Ru said: "I didn't have a strong intuition when I came here, as if the blessing Gu was suppressed."

Chen Qing said: "Is it possible that it's because of the Heavenly Punishment Sword?"

However, even if the Tianzhu Sword was completely sent away, Ji Ru still did not bring the slightest bit of luck.

This made Chen Qing feel suspicious, and felt that there was something extremely mysterious here.

After digging for several months, there was still no clue. Seeing that Ji Ru's blessing Gu was useless, Chen Qing had to ask Ji Ru to return to Quantai City first and take charge of the operation of Quantai City.

A year passed slowly, and Yu Qingshuang had already contracted the Tianzhu Sword, and began to comprehend the way of Jiwo swordsmanship, but Chen Qing still didn't find anything.

On this day, Chen Qing was practicing swords with Yu Qingshuang, but Zuo Chuan appeared with a wounded undead dragon army.

Chen Qing put down the long sword in his hand, "What's going on?"

Zuo Chuan said: "We found strange creatures appearing three hundred miles underground."

Chen Qing asked: "Strange creatures, what kind of strange creatures? There should be no creatures in the Dead Sea!"

Zuo Chuan said: "There are traces of mechanical techniques on the creature, like a half-mechanical creation, but it can also bleed."

"The strength is extremely tyrannical. I fought with Wu Xing for more than ten rounds, and then fled. Wu Xing was also injured."

Chen Qing suddenly became interested, "Create a creature using mechanism?"

"I've never heard of it, take me to see it."

Chen Qing followed Zuo Chuan to the place where Wu Xing fought the monster before. Chen Qing looked around and saw a lot of broken bones, a mess.

And in the dark and deep seabed, there is a long and narrow cave.

Chen Qing immediately expanded his perception and began to feel this world. Now that he has contracted with the six ghosts and gods, although the range has expanded, it is still limited due to the isolation of perception by the Dead Sea.

Chen Qing felt it carefully for a moment, then Muran opened his eyes, "It's really a living thing!"

"Except for the Undead Dragon Army, there are actually creatures that can move in the Dead Sea!"

"How is this done?"

"The function of mechanism technique?"

"Or, this is not a pure creature, but a half-life, half-mechanism creation?"

Chen Qing immediately said: "Follow me!"

Chen Qing stepped forward and came to the cave where the monster was. Soon, the monster swam out and shouted at Chen Qing and the others: "Get out of here!"

"The restricted area ahead!"

Chen Qing observed this strange creature. Although it was made of flesh and blood, there were a large number of gears made of mysterious wood rotating in its body.

It's a bit like a dog with a clock embedded in its body.

Chen Qing waved his hand and punched out. He came to the back of the mechanism hound and punched him down.

A punch broke a lot of gears, Chen Qing paused, quietly observing the action of the mechanism hound.

The mechanism hound started running, swimming in the deep and dark cave, and Chen Qing followed.

After swimming for about thirty miles, a sudden light opened up ahead.

In a huge cave, densely packed wooden coffins are entangled with each other, hanging in the water.

Among them, a large number of wooden coffins have been opened, and at the bottom of the cave, there are thirteen corpses lying horizontally.

These corpses are not composed of flesh and bones, but are composed of trees, which is quite strange.

Chen Qing picked up a piece, and the broken wood instantly shattered in his hands, turning into foam and scattering.

"It seems that too long time has passed, and it has been weathered."

A pure wooden coffin opened and stretched out a hand wrapped in bark.

Chen Qing looked carefully and could not say that he was wrapped in tree bark, but that his skin was bark.

The man was about ten feet tall, with two withered and yellow leaves on his eyebrows.

His body was covered with moss, he crawled out of the coffin, looked sideways at Chen Qing, and asked leisurely, "What year is this eve?"

Chen Qing said: "The Fourth Era is called the Immortal Ancient Era."

Wooden man said: "Has the third era ended?"

"Who's winning?"

Chen Qing said: "The Aurora Sect has split, and now there is only one orthodoxy that is not strong."

Mu Ren laughed, "What about our Holy Spirit Cult?"

Chen Qingdao: "It was completely destroyed and no longer existed, as if it had never appeared between heaven and earth."

Mu Ren was stunned and fell silent.

Chen Qing stepped closer, wanting to observe the other party more carefully.

The other party was not surprised, but fell into hesitation.

The wooden man murmured to himself: "Even if all the gods worship, will they be submerged in the long river of history after all?"

"Strong, will only lead to destruction in the end."

Chen Qing was startled and said, "Worship of all gods, you mean the Holy Spirit Sect?"

Mu Ren said: "Don't be too surprised. It's not that there are really tens of thousands of gods. They are the mountain gods and river gods that I taught the holy spirit to enshrine."

"Not really a god."

Chen Qing was quite interested in such a Holy Spirit Cult disciple who could still guarantee peace.

Since the other party didn't have much hostility, he just took the opportunity to chat with the other party.

Chen Qing said: "Who are you, or what kind of existence are you?"

Mu Ren said: "If you want to ask me my name, you can call me Codename Jiamu."

"I'm not too sure about my own state. According to the theory of the Holy Spirit Church, I don't have self-awareness. After all, I'm just a wooden puppet."

"My task is to clean this place and remove all the debris."

"Just like you, you have the disgusting aura of the Aurora Sect."

Chen Qing said: "Maybe it's been too long."

During the conversation, Chen Qing suddenly discovered that Jiamu's body began to generate demonic energy, "Demonization?"

Chen Qing turned her head and looked at the corpses of the wooden puppets on the ground. The long years and the special place made them demonize, gave birth to wisdom, and turned into living beings.

Afterwards, it was eroded by the Dead Sea, struggling but unable to leave, unable to resist the high pressure of the Dead Sea, and fell here.

Chen Qing hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring the soul-gathering coffin that isolates the Dead Sea!"

Zuo Chuan and others hurried forward, and Chen Qing said: "Jiamu, you are now becoming a demon, becoming a demon clan, becoming a real living being, and the erosive power of the Dead Sea will soon affect you, you go in quickly, I will take you leave here."

Jiamu was stunned for a moment, but he was not in a hurry, "I haven't figured out the meaning of living yet, and I don't really know what it is like to be alive."

"But you're right, I need time to figure it out."

Jiamu entered the soul-gathering coffin, and Chen Qing said: "Lead people to seal this place and salvage all the other coffins here."

Carrying Jiamu's soul-gathering coffin, Chen Qing walked out of the Dead Sea. Yu Qingshuang was a little curious, "Has it been shipped?"

Chen Qing said: "Dug out a talking one, but it doesn't seem to know much."

"Fortunately, it can be regarded as an extremely important clue."

"One year's work was not in vain."

Chen Qing opened the coffin, and Jiamu slowly got up, without any feeling of walking between life and death.

"Here, I don't like it."

"This is not like the place where I was born."

Chen Qing asked: "What is the place where you were born?"

Jiamu stretched out his hand and grabbed it, "In the morning, you can see the spiritual energy gathering into mist floating in the mountains and fields."

"In the sky, spiritual energy gathers into clouds. When it encounters strong cold spiritual energy, a spiritual rain will fall."

"Everything grows and thrives."

"Oh, by the way, this is the realm of the dead, not the world."

"Human world, is it like this?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "No."

Jiamu felt a little lost.

Chen Qing said: "But we can recreate the world like that."

"I am a king, and I have enough manpower to recreate the land of the Holy Spirit Church."

Jiamu excitedly said, "Is it similar to the King of Spirit?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "King Ling may be too strong, I am not as good as him."

"But we can recreate that fairyland on a small scale."

Jiamu shook his head, "You can't do it, you don't have a divine edict, the fairyland on earth needs every mountain, every river, has its own life, and has mountain gods and river gods."

"Even in a small area, you need to become the king of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"Under the sea, there is indeed a royal palace, which was the base camp where we fought against the Aurora Cult."

"But you can't get in."

Chen Qing said: "In the world of death, there is no place that I cannot enter."

Jiamu shook his head, "That royal palace still has magic power circulating in it, and outside the royal palace, there is a pantheon of gods."

"Ghost Face Realm, it is impossible to open the Pantheon Formation."

Chen Qing said: "After countless years, it is still running, and what maintains it is mana instead of spiritual energy?"

Jiamu said: "Yes, it's mana, not spiritual energy."

Chen Qing asked curiously, "How did you do this?"

Jiamu said: "Because it is the Lingbao Miaoshu that maintains the formation!"

"That is the branch with the most changes on the Lingwang tree, and it is also the origin of the organ technique."

After hearing this, Chen Qing showed a smile, "From this point of view, it's not hopeless."

"Then let's break through to the entrance realm first."

Jiamu said: "But if you break through to the profound entrance, you will leave the realm of death."

"This is unsolvable. We have long considered the consequences of defeat, so we completely sealed the Lingbao Miaoshu in the formation, so as to avoid being defeated by the Aurora Sect after the defeat."

Chen Qing said: "I have my own way to come back."

"Okay, you just started to give birth to consciousness, and you are also considered a monster race, so let's enjoy this rare freedom first."

I haven’t practiced for a long time, so it’s time to make some arrangements and break through to the Xuan Guan realm first.

Returning to the human world this time, it will appear in Haoran Temple.

It's also time to meet Master and the Lord of the Mountain.
