Please bring your best friends to practice immortality

Chapter 461 Why are you here, old man?

Gu Shiyi was surprised.
"If a rhinoceros beetle can become a demon king, then doesn't that mean it has to live for tens of thousands of years?"

The demons in this world are divided into different levels. The closer a race is to humans, the higher their intelligence is, and the more likely they are to cultivate into a demon. However, the intelligence of insects and ants is so low that it is almost non-existent. If they want to become a demon, they need really good luck. Who knows, this rhinoceros beetle may be the first demon king since the beginning of the world!

Xiong Ba also said,

"That's right. It is said that the rhinoceros beetle demon king was originally a pet of an immortal in the prehistoric times. There was an immortal who had different preferences and loved to raise small insects. This rhinoceros beetle was his favorite. Every day, it followed the immortal to drink spiritual juice and eat rare fruits. Suddenly one day, it became intelligent, and during the prehistoric war, it flew to this extreme west and hid there. It hid there for tens of thousands of years, and finally cultivated itself into a demon king. Later, when the demon king of the previous world ascended to heaven, he took it with him to the upper world..."

"Ohhhh... So there is such a thing!"

"That's right. Our Xiong family and this Rhinoceros Beetle Demon King are old friends. After he ascended to heaven, we rarely come to this far west, but I still come here several times a year to buy some poisonous substances!"

"Oh...Brother Xiong, are you going to raise poisonous creatures too?"

Xiong Ba responded,

"Brother, the technique I'm practicing is a little different. Every once in a while, a demonic poison will be generated in my body. I need to fight poison with poison and use poison to eliminate the demonic poison in my body..."

This dark-faced man was quite straightforward. He wanted to tell Gu Shiyi the secrets of his own training. Gu Shiyi nodded repeatedly.

"I see!"

While the two were talking, they arrived at the valley. Xiong Ba took out a waist badge and pressed it on an inconspicuous rock beside him.
"boom……"

A huge hole suddenly appeared in front of them, and Xiong Ba led the way and walked in.
"Follow me, girl!"

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan followed him and stepped inside. There was a blur in front of their eyes. When they looked again, they saw that it had turned into a busy square.
"Sister, look around first. I'll come back to find you after I finish my work!"

So good!

Gu Shiyi said hurriedly,

"Brother, go by yourself. You don't have to take care of me!"

Xiong Ba didn't say much and dived into the crowd. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan began to walk around. The only thing that was traded the most here was various poisons, and everything else was no different from other things.

Gu Shiyi was not interested, but Pu Yanlan was dazzled and wandered around the stalls with great interest. Gu Shiyi followed behind her and looked around bored. The square was naturally full of cultivators, including humans, monsters, and even one or two demons. Most of them were local natives. Judging from their clothes, apart from the natives' short shirts, there were humans wearing wide robes with big sleeves, and many monsters had gold rings in their noses and exposed their chests. Gu Shiyi also saw several tall men with blurred faces. These were the men who had covered their faces with magic.

Just as Gu Shiyi's eyes swept over the other person, the other person suddenly turned around, stood with his hands behind his back in the crowd, and stared straight at Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi was startled and thought to himself,

"Isn't this someone I know?"

She had changed her appearance before, but when she saw Xiong Ba appear, she restored her appearance and showed up to accompany him into this place. Now it was not easy to change back, so she had to walk around with her real appearance. Gu Shiyi muttered to herself,

"In such a remote place, it's rare to meet a bear tyrant. I don't think we'll meet any familiar people, will we?"

Could it be Zhao Wuxi and the others?
He doesn’t look that tall!
It is even more impossible to be Que Wushuang. With Que Wushuang's weak figure, it is definitely not him!
Who is it?
Gu Shiyi just stared at the other person, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

"No! No! This body... this head... and the pair of men of the same height behind him..."

Oh my god!

Gu Shiyi suddenly reacted, and like a cat seeing a dog, the hair on her back and the back of her head stood up.

"Ow..."

Gu Shiyi let out a strange cry, and even forgot to help Pu Yanlan who was right beside him. He jumped up with a start, turned around and ran towards the entrance.

"Humph!"

A very familiar cold snort sounded in her ears, following her like a shadow. Gu Shiyi cried out inwardly in pain.
"Did he say he was in the life and death retreat? Why is he here?"

At this distance and in this place, if he had seen me, could I still run away?
There is a 99.999 percent chance that you can't escape!

But if you can't run away, then don't run away? Even if you die, you have to die in a good-looking posture. This is a matter of human dignity!

Gu Shiyi turned into a beam of black light, flashed out from the entrance, and flew straight into the dense forest.

"Humph...you still want to run!"

That familiar voice appeared beside Gu Shiyi's ears, as if someone was talking next to her ear. Gu Shiyi screamed and ran faster, but no matter how fast she ran, how could she be faster than the old guy who had lived for thousands of years? When Gu Shiyi rushed into the dense forests in the mountains, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her, and someone appeared in front of Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi couldn't stop in time and crashed into the other person's arms. According to Gu Shiyi's speed and body shape, if it hit an ordinary person, it would be like being hit by a locomotive, and the whole person would be bloody. But when he crashed into King Tianyu, Gu Shiyi threw himself into his arms, without even a sound, and jumped on the man!

When Gu Shiyi smelled the unfamiliar odor on him, which reminded her of many scenes of river crabs, she was stunned and took three steps back before she could stand firm. Her heart was beating fast. After a long while, she managed to suppress her panic and grinned.
"Well... King Tianyu, what a coincidence, I actually met you here!"

The man opposite did not speak, but his blurry face gradually became clear. It was indeed the same big icy face that had not melted for thousands of years. The man did not speak, so Gu Shiyi had to continue to speak awkwardly.
"Well... you must have something to do here, old man. Well... I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he bowed to King Tianyu and turned to leave, and then he heard the man behind him ask,
"Old man...you called me old man?"

If not call him an old man, what else should he be called?

Call your husband?

I would like to call you, but you don’t have any betrothal gifts, you don’t kneel down to propose, and you don’t even have a ring. I would be at a loss if you call me husband!

Gu Shiyi turned around and laughed.
"I said something wrong, I said something wrong, I said something wrong, you are not an old man, you are not old at all, but you are in the prime of life!"

It is really strong!

The man stopped talking again. Gu Shiyi couldn't stand his intermittent, constipated way of speaking. He gritted his teeth and asked,
"King Tianyu, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly. If not... then we will go our separate ways!"

King Tian Yu then said,

"What are you doing in this far west?"

Gu Shiyi was stunned. He didn't expect him to ask this. After thinking for a while, he said,
"We came here to collect some natural treasures..."

"What natural treasures?"

"Ten thousand year old spiritual bamboo liquid, spirit puppet fruit, thousand year old python spirit, and chalcedony flower..."

"These……"

King Tianyu thought about it and nodded.
"These are used to lock and nourish the soul. Who among you has an injured soul?"

After saying that, he looked Gu Shiyi up and down. Gu Shiyi felt uneasy when he looked at her, and waved his hands repeatedly,

"It's not me, it's a friend..."

"Man?" Gu Shiyi nodded. There was silence on the other side. Gu Shiyi finally reacted at this moment and wanted to slap himself.

Why do you answer whatever he asks?

What is his relationship with you? Why do you tell him everything?

As I cursed like this, a small voice in my heart responded,

"How is it okay? With the negative distance contact, this relationship is closer than anyone else's, right? Looking at him... he probably doesn't have any bad intentions... it's okay to talk about it..."

If there was, why would he keep talking so much nonsense? He would have been slapped to the ground long ago!
"that……"

Gu Shiyi thought to himself, you are allowed to ask me, but I am not allowed to ask you? I want to ask you too!

"King Tianyu, weren't you in the life and death retreat? How did you get to this far west?"

This time, King Tianyu spoke fluently.

"I am indeed in seclusion, but I have a demon in my heart that I haven't resolved, so I haven't made any progress. Suddenly, I felt something, so I came out for a walk!"

When he mentioned the word "inner demon", he looked at Gu Shiyi meaningfully, which made Gu Shiyi's back feel cold. He asked without thinking,
"King Tianyu's inner demon can't be me, right?"

After these words came out, King Tianyu fell silent again. Gu Shiyi's heart was beating wildly, but he smiled awkwardly.
"Just kidding! It's just a joke. King Tianyu is the Demon King of Guiyin Mountain. Even if he has a demon in his heart, it can't be a small one..."

The man opposite still didn't speak. Gu Shiyi couldn't stand this weird and strange atmosphere anymore, so he bowed and said,
"Since we have reminisced about the past, I, King Tianyu, would like to take my leave!"

After saying that, he retreated backwards. King Tianyu watched her retreat ten steps back little by little. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly moved, his body turned into a phantom, and came behind Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi felt his waist tighten, and he was held hostage.
"what……"

She looked at the man next to her with a look of panic, and suddenly found that he was much taller than her. She could feel his hard muscles through his clothes. Countless images popped up in Gu Shiyi's mind involuntarily, which she had deliberately suppressed and dared not think about, and then... Gu Shiyi found that she was blushing!
She quickly pretended to be calm, turned her head away, and asked calmly,
"What does King Tianyu mean?"

The man next to me said coldly,

"I'll help you get what you want, how about you come with me?"

"what!"

Gu Shiyi was really surprised this time. His mouth opened wide and his eyes almost popped out.

“Wait… wait…”

She grabbed the front of King Tianyu's robe.

"Let's talk this out first before we leave..."

What do you mean I will follow you if you help me get what I want?
What does this mean?
King Tianyu was straightforward and really stopped. The two of them stood on the crown of a big tree, face to face, eye to eye. Gu Shiyi's wheat-colored face still had a blush that had not yet faded. King Tianyu's expression did not change, but the hand on her lower back did not move, and he had no intention of letting go.
"I have been in the life and death gate for three months, and suddenly I realized that it is not that my realm is not high enough to break through the space barrier, nor that my understanding is not high enough to understand the rules of heaven and earth. It is just that I did not cultivate the love thread when I was practicing before, so my path to ascension was blocked. Now that the love thread has returned, it has been implicated with you. Now I have only two ways to get rid of the inner demon..."

He paused, and Gu Shiyi immediately understood, and said in a trembling voice,
"That... King Tianyu, you can't be like that. After all, a night of love is a hundred days of grace, and a hundred days of grace is as deep as the sea. Although we are not as deep as the sea, we still have some fleeting feelings. Besides... I was not the one who took the initiative both times. It seems that it was you who took the initiative both times... You can't kill me just to get rid of your inner demons!"

Ordinary men would never do such a thing, but men who practice Taoism can do it. In order to achieve immortality and ascend to the upper realm to become immortals, they will kill not only the women they have slept with, but also their own mother, father, and children. People call this "severing worldly ties"!

And today, King Tianyu’s posture is to slay the inner demon!

Gu Shiyi was so frightened that her face turned pale. Seeing her like this, King Tianyu suddenly curled up his lips and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"Are you...scared?"

nonsense!

We only have one life, who wouldn’t be afraid?

Although Gu Shiyi was scared to death, he was still very angry. He rolled his eyes at him and said,

"Your life is in someone's hands, are you afraid?"

When the word "pinch" was mentioned, King Tianyu suddenly pulled Gu Shiyi closer to him as if by reflex. A strange feeling came over them, and both of them were silent. This was a matter of life and death, and Gu Shiyi suddenly felt that her waist had never been so thin.

"When I was compared with Yan'er before, her waist was so slender that I could hold it in my hand. Compared with her, I was just a strong woman with eight-pack abs. How come when I got into the hands of King Tianyu, I... I suddenly felt like I also had a willow-like waist?"

Nonsence!

Is now the time to think about this?

Gu Shiyi quickly shook off the thought that came to his mind and looked up at the man who was much taller than him.

"So...you really want to kill me?"

King Tian Yu thought for a moment and said,
"I thought about killing you..."

He felt the person in his arms tremble, but he felt inexplicably relieved. This woman had a cunning smile on her face and spoke nonsense without a single word of truth. He felt disgusted when he saw the fake smile on her face, but this pale little face made him feel comfortable!
This is because Gu Shiyi can't read minds. If he knew what King Tianyu was thinking, he would definitely call him a pervert.
"You're a total pervert, you like to scare people for fun! Do you feel a sense of accomplishment when you see people's faces turn pale?"

King Tian Yu continued,

"...But if I kill you, my inner demons will become even more severe and I won't be able to ascend. Isn't that too risky?"

"Then...what do you want?"

Gu Shiyi asked in a trembling voice, death is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that he finds some way to extract the soul and spirit, making oneself unable to reincarnate forever, this is the most terrible thing!

King Tian Yu thought for a moment and said,
"I will take you to the upper realm..."

"what!"

Gu Shiyi's mouth opened wide again, and he looked at King Tianyu with an idiotic expression.
"Well...well...I don't understand...can you say it again?"

"I'll take you to ascension!"

In fact, ascending to the upper realm is all about breaking the barrier between this realm and the upper realm. Theoretically, no matter whether you are a cultivator or an ordinary mortal, if you can break through that barrier, you can enter the upper realm. However, the laws of each realm are different. Even if ordinary people are lucky enough to enter the upper realm, they may be turned into dust on the spot because they cannot withstand the power of the laws. Cultivators have trained their bodies and souls and gradually adapted to the laws of the upper realm. When they reach the highest realm, they will be repelled by the laws of this realm. This is the time to ascend to the upper realm. If you want to force yourself not to ascend at this time, you can either hide in a space that is not affected by the laws and never come out, or suppress your realm in order to move around in the world.

In King Tianyu's case, he had reached that realm, and his body and soul were ready, but he was afraid that his inner demon would suddenly pop out when he was about to ascend and cause him to fail. He secluded himself for three months and finally discovered that his inner demon was actually Gu Shiyi, the woman with whom he had a two-night stand!

This is understandable. In order to cultivate, King Tianyu mistakenly believed that he would be able to concentrate on breaking through the realm by cutting off his emotional thread. However, all things in nature have emotions, and this makes sense. God would not leave such a bug for you to steal the opportunity. King Tianyu had reached that realm a long time ago, but because he lacked his emotional thread, he was incomplete, and he could never wait for the opportunity to ascend. Later, he woke up and found his emotional thread, but he happened to get together with Gu Shiyi by mistake. The first time, his soul was branded, and the second time, his physical body was branded, so this woman became his inner demon!
This is the last hurdle if he wants to ascend. Either he has to slay his inner demon and kill Gu Shiyi, but he may still fall in love with Gu Shiyi. Because of Gu Shiyi's death, his inner demon has become even stronger!

Otherwise, he would take Gu Shiyi with him to ascend to the upper realm. After reaching the upper realm, what would happen between him and Gu Shiyi? Only God knows!
Gu Shiyi's mind was racing, his eyes were blinking, and King Tianyu suddenly became a little agitated. He stared at Gu Shiyi with a cold face for a long time. Gu Shiyi shook his head seriously.

"Thank you, King Tianyu, for your kindness. Please forgive me for not being able to obey your order!"

King Tianyu seemed to have not expected Gu Shiyi to say this. He was silent for a long while before saying,
"Think it through. You don't have to practice hard anymore. You can directly ascend to the upper realm with me. I promise you... When we reach the upper realm, I will help you improve your realm. Even if you can't improve for the time being, you can still get my protection!"
