Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 638: The Battle Begins
The conditions of Master Yuanyi and General Zhong are not very good.

Although Lin Xuanzhi relayed all kinds of information through the mouth of the spirit of Qingqi, which made General Zhong act with more caution and saved the effort of testing and observation, this place is almost the destination. When the two meet, no matter how much they restrain themselves, they will not let the opponent move forward.

Compared with the Falling Star Father and the Scattering Flowers Scholar, Master Yuanyi is far superior in both strength and patience.

After entering this place, his several attacks on General Zhong all had significant effects.

Of course, as a Yang God, General Zhong also has the ability to fight back. After the confrontation, no one gained any advantage.

However, the two of them did not know anything about the Taixu Wonderful Tree, so when they first entered the Jiuyou Cave Realm, they quickly attracted the favor of the Wonderful Tree, which took them quite a bit of effort.

Even though General Zhong was reminded, he still couldn't help but lose control after experiencing it personally.

What's more, the realm of Yangshen itself is more attractive than Lin Xuanzhi's second disaster soul.

Lin Xuanzhi pondered that if he really faced the Taixu Wonderful Tree with the power of Yangshen, he would most likely end up in a miserable situation.

The Way of plunder is a way of nourishing oneself with all things, and the spiritual root trees affected by this inevitably become tainted with some "evil nature".

However, judging from the arrangements made by the Central Ghost Emperor in the past, there were obviously some means used to suppress the instincts of the Taixu Miao Tree.

The two of them arrived later, but they did not rashly enter the halo of light in the coffin palace.

Lin Xuanzhi and "Ao Sheng" had just been restrained by the candlelight. The reflected flame heart was obviously a method that directly pointed to the true spirit and then triggered the change of physical form. If they could not break free in time, they would definitely fall completely into the palace lantern and turn into lamp oil fuel.

Although it only took the two of them a short while to break free from the light, it cannot be said that their method was crude.

Needless to say, Lin Xuanzhi's mind was protected by the Jade Wheel, and his Tao heart was clear and strong. When faced with various fire methods, he had the Flame Qi in his body. Although he could not subdue all the fires, he could also resist the influence of many external evil fires. In this way, he could seize the opportunity and fight fire with fire calmly.

There is a sinister guy hiding in "Ao Sheng" who has more tricks up his sleeve, so it is not surprising to deal with him in any way.

But if an ordinary Yang God were to be captured by it, the danger would be quite great.

And just looking at the fact that apart from this person from Fengdu, no one else has come in person, it is obvious that although the parties in the Ghost Kingdom may not know as much as Fengdu, they are also very afraid of this place and have no intention of taking risks in person unless it is absolutely necessary.

As Lin Xuanzhi was thinking, he saw Ao Sheng sizing up Yuan Yi and the other two with deep eyes, and then glanced at Youdu Palace huddled aside, and then he smiled softly and said, "You two are both capable men under the command of the two emperors. You are truly loyal for taking such a risk alone. The Underworld should remember your great merit."

"I would like to present a petition to all the gentlemen of Fengdu to reward them according to their merits. If you two leave immediately, you can also get the first place in the reward. How do you think?"

General Zhong chuckled: "You think you can persuade people to go back with just empty words? I'm afraid you don't have the ability to speak as eloquently as those Arhats and Bodhisattvas!"

Yuan Yi Zhenren also sneered in a low voice: "I must get something in order to report to Grandmaster Su. Your calculations are a bit naive, aren't they?"

The two spoke in a natural and casual tone, and they had no intention of backing down to the people of Fengdu.

Lin Xuanzhi was watching the excitement from the sidelines, and couldn't help but fan the flames by saying, "That's right, that's right! How can you convince people with empty words? If you take out two magical treasures and give them to these two, maybe you can report back better."

You are so shameless!
Zhenren Yuanyi glanced at him and smiled, obviously he was somewhat "admiring" that Lin Xuanzhi, who was as weak as a fish on a chopping board, dared to provoke this man from Fengdu.

"This fellow Taoist from the Phoenix Clan has a point. Although you are the Supreme God of Fengdu, you are hiding your true identity. Are you one of the Left and Right Judges? Or are you a disciple of the Emperor of Fengdu?"

"How much weight do words carry?"

"You have nothing, but you think it's a bit unrealistic to dismiss us with just a few words!"

"Ao Sheng" glared at Lin Xuanzhi coldly, but did not punish him in any way. His patience was unexpectedly high.

General Zhong grinned cheerfully, "What Taoist Yuchen said makes sense! If you were the left and right judges of Fengdu, maybe it would be worth listening to what he said."

"If it is under the command of those three young masters, this general will have to consider it."

"So, why don't you tell me your name? If possible, wouldn't it be wonderful to cooperate sincerely?"

"Ao Sheng"'s dark eyes flashed, and he just snorted when he heard the words. Then he turned around, raised his chin slightly and pointed at the palace that looked like a bronze coffin, signaling Lin Xuanzhi to take action.

Lin Xuanzhi sighed helplessly, and suddenly behind him, a fairy mountain with ice and fire intertwined and yin and yang rotating rose up. Then he walked towards the palace with a cautious look and heavy steps.

The majestic light of the immortal mountain hung down, blending deeply and introvertedly with the cold light that protected the body, weaving into layered protection while trying its best to restrain its breath.

At the same time, Lin Xuanzhi did not forget to secretly hold the tea bowl in one hand, as if he was fully prepared.

In the distance, General Zhong was ready to make a move, and seemed unable to hold himself back. The Youdu Palace nearby trembled slightly and tried to calm him down.

Yuan Yi on the side squinted his eyes, a ray of green sword light was hidden at his fingertips, and the fairy sword inside him made a faint sound from time to time.

Lin Xuanzhi looked at the statue of the boy that had been standing quietly for who knows how many years. He was still afraid of the two palace lanterns, and his steps were not fast as he examined and explored.

For a moment, the scene fell into a strange silence, with only the sound of Lin Xuanzhi's light footsteps. Everything seemed ordinary and there seemed to be no danger.

However, as he approached the palace, Lin Xuanzhi unknowingly felt his footsteps become heavy and his figure became sluggish. A feeling of confusion and sinking arose from nowhere and quickly occupied his mind.

The darkness before my eyes grew thicker, and in the darkness it seemed as if countless ghosts and demons were whispering and muttering.

Amidst the incomprehensible loneliness and terror, Lin Xuanzhi felt as if he was caught in a crack between heaven and earth and was sinking continuously.

While struggling to survive, strange voices, some sharp, some calm, some gentle, some warm, and some hoarse, echoed in his mind, constantly urging him to give up.

Unconsciously, Lin Xuanzhi seemed to see the ruined fairy mountain, without any precious light, and only a gray skeleton left struggling in the darkness. The area under him seemed to be in the endless hell of ghosts, with millions of ugly and terrifying scenes that could not be escaped. Looking more closely, he saw that under the hell of ghosts, the world was collapsing and countless lives were falling into extinction.

The world was in eternal silence, and the dark light of the extinction of all things continued to attack Lin Xuanzhi, causing his steps forward to come to a halt bit by bit.

Lin Xuanzhi's ears were filled with all kinds of whispers, roars, and murmurs, flashing through every thought, as if they were trying to shout at him to the point of scattering his soul.

Everything in the empty universe will eventually perish. Even the "Tao" may return to nothingness. Why do we still insist on moving forward?

give up!
Stay!
Let us indulge in eternal extinction together!
This is also liberation!
This is also freedom!
Just when even the faint light on its own gray skeleton was about to be completely swallowed up, a bit of misty purple air emerged from the skull, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the surrounding area for three feet.

Lin Xuanzhi's thoughts worked slowly, and in the cold silence, his steps were still firm.

"Now that you have entered this door, you should have no regrets!"

"Glory and pleasure are just passing clouds, fame and fortune are also empty!"

"Since I entered this world and heard about the way to immortality, I have been willing to seek it with sincerity and to exercise self-control and perseverance."

"If I give up just because you keep nagging me, wouldn't that be denying myself and the foundation of my way?"

"Noisy!"

"Shit!"

The divine light of the Hongmeng Eight Scenes of Taiqing suddenly lit up, and the misty purple qi contained the innate, and the true meaning of the Eight Scenes of Shangyuan, which circulated between the visible and the invisible, circulated around the body.

In an instant, the skeleton glowed, flesh and blood grew, and the internal organs emitted a bright and precious light and beat, as if there was inner inspiration and the Taoist Qi was growing.

Not long after, his pure and clean body returned to normal, and Lin Xuanzhi continued to move forward on the Ice and Fire Peaks. The people who had been watching him seemed to be completely unaware and had not noticed anything unusual.

Lin Xuanzhi lowered his eyebrows and eyes, his gaze became clear and bright, and then returned to peace.

However, in a moment, he suddenly realized that his spiritual cultivation had directly improved a lot, and a lot of Yin residue had been refined away. His feeling of the laws of heaven and earth became clearer and more thorough as he thought.

His eyelids twitched and Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Storm disaster..."

Unconsciously, he had passed through the two boy statues guarding the palace, and the coffin lanterns did not cause him any substantial harm.

Of course, this is the situation he came through with determination.

Looking at the tightly fitted bronze palace in front of him, there was a doorway that seemed to be carved directly in front of the palace and was painted with many bird, seal and cloud patterns. On each side, there was a graceful figure of a celestial being, waving towards the front, as if to lead people in.

Lin Xuanzhi naturally did not dare to be careless.

However, all the means here are aimed directly at the true spirit and heart of Tao. They are "sinister" tricks starting from the inside. Even if you are vigilant, it is difficult to detect when they really fall on you.

Basically, it’s the type that continues if you can hold on, and falls if you can’t.

It seemed that all direct defensive means were useless, but Lin Xuanzhi did not rashly put them away.

I passed two checkpoints without any major problems.

Within the Purple Palace, there was a faint clear light, and the Yuanshen sat upright holding a jade wheel, looking like a celestial being.

Looking closely, one can see that the jade wheel seems to be vibrating constantly at a high frequency, with many sparse lines on it, among which there are colorful Taoist lights flowing like fireflies, gathering and dispersing to form Taoist inscriptions of different shapes.

"This place should be very close to the Great Void Tree. The Jade Wheel's induction is too intense."

"But fortunately, everything is at the Purple Palace Gate, which is a one-way call."

The Jade Wheel was his most important support, and now the two of them were in close communication, almost as if they were practicing together. Although he did not rely on this treasure in the two levels this time, if he was really lacking in it, he would not really sink into eternal silence in that image.

Moreover, Lin Xuanzhi was also a little cautious. He relied on the Jade Wheel here. As long as there was a possibility of a peak, the Taixu Miao Tree that smelled the fishy smell might come over.

And the desire must be even greater than facing an ordinary Yang God!

"Steady, steady!"

Lin Xuanzhi took a deep breath and shook his head secretly.

No matter how you look at it, although this wonderful Taixu tree is good, the possibility of it being snatched from the tiger's mouth is not very high.

Moreover, if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to become the nutrients of the Taixu Miao Tree.

As the thought was turning, he heard "Ao Sheng" coldly say: "Don't dawdle."

Lin Xuanzhi turned around and smiled helplessly at him: "You are really from the underworld, you are always asking for death."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi Zhenren couldn't help but laugh and said, "Everyone has their own specialties. It would be better if Little Phoenix could be quicker. Maybe there is still a chance to escape."

"Ao Sheng" said nothing, but in his heart he couldn't help but sentence the flat-haired beast to death.

Lin Xuanzhi looked at the bronze palace again, bowed solemnly, and knelt again and again, then raised his hand and pressed towards the door.

In the instant of contact, Lin Xuanzhi felt that his own magic power was being sucked away madly, and most of it was gone in an instant.

At the same time, the two celestial maidens on the bronze portal seemed to come alive. They waved forward with dull and weird smiles on their faces, and then retracted into the door while opening it inwards.

creak!

An unfathomable dim light streamed out from the gradually widening crack in the door. It was difficult to see anything at all, giving people a feeling of being in two completely different worlds.

The three members of "Ao Sheng" perked up their spirits, and Lin Xuanzhi even raised the tea bowl directly.

However, after being alert for a long while, until the door was wide open, nothing happened.

"Go in quickly and open the raft!"

Rarely, there was a hint of urgency in Ao Sheng's tone.

Even Yuan Yi Zhenren and the other two stepped directly into the halo.

In the distance, a star of death suddenly jumped out, and the meteorite figure on it came towards them with a solemn expression.

On the other side, under the colorful robe, Lingxiao came with a spear in his hand.

"You old devil, you are bullying everyone in my clan!"

"Ao Sheng" looked at the few people with a gloomy face, and glared fiercely into the depths of the void.

He doesn't believe that there is no secret behind the gathering of so many people!
In a flash, he waved his sleeves violently, and a cold wind suddenly blew up in the void, sweeping Lin Xuanzhi into the palace.

The moment he came into contact with the deep darkness, Lin Xuanzhi's figure disappeared immediately.

General Zhong paused slightly, then picked up the Youdu Palace with one hand, and relying on the power of the big monster, he threw it in directly after it, which surprised several people. "Ao Sheng" was also half a beat slow and didn't have time to stop it.

How dare you go deeper when the situation is unclear?
How dare this Western ghost country dare to fight and gamble?
Taoist Yuan Yi smiled inexplicably, and then pointed his majestic sword intent directly at "Ao Sheng", his intention was self-evident.

"Old ghost of Fengdu, do you dare to attack with all your strength?"

The immortal talisman between his eyebrows was faintly visible. The immortal smiled leisurely, but his eyes were filled with sword intent and he was eager to try.

"Ao Sheng" raised his eyes calmly upon hearing this: "Yu Chen's disciple is extraordinary, but it is wishful thinking to think that an inferior can defeat a superior."

For a moment, the energies of the people present inevitably collided and became stuck.

In the depths of darkness, a faint sound from heaven seemed to have sensed something, and immediately made several people look slightly stern.

Between presence and absence, a hazy and clear light is revealed, and it seems that layers of branches and leaves cover this place.

The crowd inevitably restrained their momentum, but undercurrents were still surging, and they looked at all parties with hesitation.

It was unknown how long it had been, and no one knew who had taken the first step, but immediately in front of the palace, all kinds of light intertwined and collided.

Thunder and fire, sword light, star evil, and phoenix fire, each of them is an opponent and an ally. In the chaos, they all gave "Ao Sheng" a little more favor.
