Eternal Life Begins with Bug-Refining

 The land of water, Tiangou Mountains.

 Chen Dan was walking in the mountains and forests, and Lingji was sitting on his shoulders.

“Sister, it’s very inappropriate for you to sit on my shoulders like this.”

“If others see it, they will have to gossip about our royal family.”

 Lingji didn't care at all, "In ancient times, everyone didn't have so many weird rules."

Chen Dan picked a fruit and handed it to Ling Ji's waist, "Sister, how do you think this era compares with the ancient times?"

Ling Ji said: "It's very strange."

 “What’s strange?”

Ling Ji said: "As time goes by, the overall strength of practitioners should become stronger and stronger, and the entire practice world should become more and more developed."

"But according to my recent observation, after more than 100,000 years, you are now lagging behind compared to the ancient times."

“Only the elixir you refined is somewhat interesting. Although there were similar things in ancient times, the effect was not as good as the one you refined.”

 “It feels to me as if the whole world is constantly getting weaker.”

 “Well, yes, the whole world is becoming more and more fragile.”

“In the beginning of ancient times, the gods had not retreated from the world, and the gods could be seen walking on the earth, but now, they are almost completely invisible.”

 “That’s what happened to me!”

 She was extremely confident when she said this.

Lingji took a bite of the fruit and spat it out. The fruit was full of blood stains, and it didn't look like the juice of a normal fruit at all.

 “This land is polluted.”

 “The fruit they bear has a strange smell.”

 “It’s all a disgusting smell.”

 Chen Dan thought about Ling Ji's words, "Could it be that the war between the Aurora Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect caused countless disasters and caused the loss of magical powers, techniques, and classics, causing the times to regress?"

 Lingji shook her head, "It's understandable to go back ten thousand years, but it's very wrong to go back more than one hundred thousand years."

“Some things, you just need to know you can do it, and then keep trying, and you can always do it again.”

 “At least there is a clear goal.”

“Even if the classics are lost, future generations can still try them infinitely.”

“But now, I don’t see any traces of the Holy Spirit Religion, as if it had never appeared.”

After walking for a while, the two found a village in front of them. The houses collapsed, the fields were barren, and the whole village looked bleak.

There are scattered white bones scattered all over the roadside, one here and one here and there.

The two of them continued to move forward and suddenly saw a little girl lying on the ground chewing a piece of flesh.

 This little girl does not seem to have a lower body, only the upper body is left.

Lingji said: "She is no longer a human being."

 Chen Dan also discovered something special about the little girl. Only her lower body, face, and arms were covered with bloated lumps of flesh, which looked extremely scary.

 Her lower body was a ball of black smoke.

 Seeing the two people appear, the little girl was obviously frightened, and she let out a shrill cry from her throat full of lumps of flesh.

 The village suddenly seemed to come alive. A large number of little girl-like beings flew out of a large pit, but the distortion was even more complete.

 The flesh and blood were twisted, without bones, and the lower body completely turned into black smoke.

The ones that have changed the most among them have completely turned into a ball of black smoke, with frightening red light dancing in their eyes.

 A large number of distorted humans flew out and roared at Chen Dan and Ling Ji.

 For a moment, it was like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Looking around, my dear, it is really a devil’s cave on earth.

 Chen Dan said: "It seems that Uncle Wushang's news is true. The entire Kingdom of Water has turned into a devil's cave."

 “Can these things be saved?”

 Ling Ji shook her head, "I can't do anything, they have been completely assimilated by the evil spirits."

Chen Dan easily captured a black mist monster, "A monster with strength in the Qi Refining Realm and completely transformed into black mist would probably have the strength of the eighth to ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm."

“If all the mortals in the Kingdom of Water turned into this kind of thing, the war would probably last for a long time.”

"At this time, it is better to use blazing fire to burn the whole thing."

Ling Ji shook her head, "Not only that, the land of the Kingdom of Water has become a breeding ground for evil spirits."

 “Under this earth, there is nothing but squirming flesh.”

“If you want to set a fire, it will take at least one or two years to completely burn it out.”

Chen Dan said: "In other words, a lot of practitioners who practice fire magic are needed?"

"Yan Lie can use the magical power of raining fire meteorites, which is indeed very useful."

Lingji said: "After the fire is burned out, there will be a brand new land, brand new mountains and rivers. At that time, I will give every mountain and every river a nice name!"

While the two continued to explore the current situation in the Kingdom of Water, Chen Qing was discussing matters in the palace.

"The situation in the Kingdom of Water is getting worse and worse. According to the news we have discovered, it has now completely turned into a devil's cave."

“And the entire land has been polluted by Tai Sui and turned into Tai Sui’s demon soil.”

“In this case, only by burning everything with fire can we completely destroy the kingdom of water.”

“I intend to use Yan Lie as my general to build a demon-slaying army that specializes in fire magic. What do you think?”

Qi Tianfeng said: "We don't have a lot of fire Gu insects in stock, so we need to purchase them in large quantities from King Nanhai and King Yan."

“It is difficult to form an army now, and we can only equip three hundred people at most.”

“If you want to form an army of one thousand, each person must be equipped with at least three different fire poisons, and you need to purchase at least two thousand more fire poisons.”

 Chen Qing asked: "How many fire-type spiritual Gu were among the trophies obtained in the battle in the dead world?"

Su Yi said: "There are thirty-two more."

 Chen Qing frowned slightly, this amount was indeed a little less.

 “Call Yan Lie!”

After a while, Yan Lie entered the hall wearing a red and black Taoist robe, "See you, Master!"

 Chen Qing nodded, "I've called you here now to ask you to build a demon-slaying army that specializes in fire magic."

　　"You start recruiting people first, 200 for the entrance level and 800 for the foundation."

Chen Qing ordered: "Su Yi, take the spiritual Gu that we don't have much use for now, exchange it with Yan Guo for eighteen more fire-type spiritual Gu, and find a way to purchase two thousand fire-type mortal Gu."

"Xuan Mang, from among the practitioners who practice the fire method under your command, select fifty people for Yan Lie to serve as your own soldiers."

“As for the fire spell scriptures, I’ll figure it out.”

During the discussion, there was a sudden noise outside, and Chen Qing shouted: "What happened?"

Soon, a Qilin guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, Lan Jingting has faked a corpse!" Chen Qing said: "Lan Jingting, in the small entrance area, is a fake corpse, so what?"

Lu Shenglong immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to go and capture him!"

 Chen Qing's eyes fell on Yan Lie, and Yan Lie quickly said: "Master, this disciple is willing to go!"

Chen Qingdao: "Lu Shenglong, you have made outstanding achievements and are ranked as the general of our country. You are just pretending to be a corpse. If you take action, wouldn't it appear that our country has no one?"

 “Let the younger generation take the stage, Yan Lie, go!”

“Land Shenglong, go and keep an eye on it.”

Yan Lie and Lu Shenglong immediately took the order, and within a short while, Yan Lie captured Lan Jingting who had deceived the corpse.

 Chen Qing looked at Lan Jingting, who had come back from the dead but was in a very strange state. He had no head and just a ball of black smoke around his neck.

The black smoke said: "King Wen, my lord knows that you don't know the vastness of my lord's supernatural power. In three days, he will definitely come to pay you a visit!"

 “Let King Wen see the power of our Lord reaching the heavens!”

“I hope King Wen can think more about what we discussed with King Wen before!”

"It is a blessing for you that my lord can take a fancy to you. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to sit on the throne with my lord, overlooking the world?"

After finishing speaking, Lan Jingting completely turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared.

 Chen Qing sneered, "We haven't taken action yet, but it seems that the Kingdom of Water can't wait any longer."

He stood up and said, "I have conquered the realm of death, marched across the world with eight hundred cavalry, killed more than ten thousand people in formation, beheaded kings in hundreds of battles, and defeated all kings. How can I be so frightening?"

 “Command, Longxiang Army, Xuanguan Army, and Yuwang Army assemble!”

 “I will follow my king to the border in person, and I want to see what kind of battle he has in store!”

 Chen Qing stepped down the steps in front of the throne, "Xuan Mang, lead your troops to guard King Wen's palace. Other generals, follow me!"

Many generals in the main hall were arrogant and high-spirited, and they followed Chen Qing out of the main hall. Qi Tianfeng and Li Changqing laughed at this scene, and Li Changqing said: "King Wen is young after all, and he is very energetic."

Qi Tianfeng smiled and said: "This is the first King Wen of Nanli. He even defeated the overlord of the Death Realm. Now he is even in his prime. Naturally, he cannot let others touch his tiger beard."

  King Wen’s palace was not large, so he recruited soldiers very quickly, and everyone’s foot strength was extraordinary.

In just one day, Chen Qing visited the border between Qi Kingdom and Water Kingdom and stationed himself on a high mountain in the Yuelu Mountains.

 Chen Qing had just sent out scouts to investigate the enemy's situation, and Su Yi came to report: "Your Majesty, Sun You, the commander-in-chief of Qi State, requested to join the war."

Chen Qing put down the wine glass in his hand, "The war happened on the border of Qi State, so it was natural for him to come."

 “Announce his coming!”

Changsun You and others went up to the top of the mountain. In front of the tent on the top of the mountain, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Chen Qing: "General, please pay homage to King Wen!"

 Chen Qing nodded, "General, please rise. I heard that Qi also wants to join the war?"

Changsun You said loudly: "My king gave instructions before entering the realm of death. If the world encounters a major event that is difficult to handle, everyone should be at the disposal of King Wen."

“Now that evil spirits are rampant and the sky is bright and clear, how dare you openly challenge King Wen in the royal palace!”

"The war is happening again in our country of Qi. Although my eldest son, Sun You, has no ability, people are bullying him, so he cannot let him go."

 “Come here specifically to obey orders and wait for King Wen’s dispatch.”

“King Wen, do you need all the soldiers and horses from Qi State to join the battle?”

 Chen Qing waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be too nervous, it's just a little minor, and it's not worth using the power of the two countries."

 “You can just send a group of soldiers and horses to raid the formation at will.”

Changsun You cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will obey your orders."

 After passing the order, he stood on both sides like other generals, waiting for Chen Qing's other orders.

 One day later, Chen Qing received news from the scouts that a large number of black fog monsters were gathering near the Yuelu Mountains.

Moreover, there are also a large number of evil cult masters mixed in, such as the Taiping Sect, the Yin Yang Sect, the Chou Shen Sect, and the Blood Moon Demon Sect, all of which have evil cultivators.

 Chen Qing immediately summoned the generals and began the court meeting again.

At about o'clock, Chen Qing sat on the throne and laughed loudly: "The demon has gathered tens of thousands of demons, as well as many masters of many cults, to fight me openly."

“Hahahahahaha, I have been fighting in the realm of death for decades, and no one has ever dared to fight me head-on. Now, they are so brave!”

“According to the intelligence from the scouts, they have observed the appearance of three Tongtian Realm. I guess their leaders must be from the Feathering Realm.”

 “Senior Shen family, do you have confidence?”

Shen Xinghe, the ancestor of Shen Changye's family, said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not strong enough, but I'm worried about your safety. To ensure safety, it's better to invite a national advisor to come."

Although Shen Xinghe is also in the Ascension realm, in terms of strength, compared to the two national masters with profound knowledge, he still feels inferior.

Shen Xinghe's current position in the Wen Kingdom is that of high priest. He is in charge of sacrifices, which is a very high-ranking sinecure.

　　Not much authority, but excellent treatment and noble status.

 Chen Qing also thinks it makes sense. He usually doesn't like to take risks. Now that he has a large army, as the leader of a country, he will definitely not fall into danger easily.

 “Send Master Zuo to come!”

Li Changqing came very quickly, and with him came the Xuanwu that was more than 3,000 years old. Chen Qing was also very happy when he saw the Xuanwu.

The turtle liked him very much, and he also liked the turtle very much.

Li Changqing said: "When the war comes, King Wen will ask Xuanwu to protect you. You will not be harmed by ordinary immortal realms."

 Chen Qing was overjoyed, “That’s great!”

During the discussion, everyone saw a group of demons dancing in front of them, and a black cloud that spread for three hundred miles swept towards this place.

Above the black clouds, countless practitioners were either stepping on the clouds or flying swords and treasures, flying towards here.

 Under the black clouds, there are countless flying black fog monsters, covering the sky and covering the earth.

On the ground, the huge mountains collapsed, revealing the huge and ferocious Flesh Dock Castle, with a large number of evil cultivators moving in and out.

The Flesh Wold Castle has a radius of ten miles, is as huge as a mountain, and is shaped like a devil's cave, with countless holes opening and closing, as if it is absorbing the power of heaven and earth.

So many evil cultivators, combined with so many monsters, really give people a direct sense of the rise of evil in the world.

Li Changqing exclaimed: "There are really so many evil cultivators!"

Su Yi said: "It should be that the king unified the realm of death and cut off the path of evil cultivators. They were unable to advance to the profound realm, so they joined the water kingdom."

Yan Lie, Youhuang, and Yu Xu'er were both amazed when they saw such a grand scene for the first time. Yan Lie said: "There are probably dozens of evil cultivators in front of us in the Tongtian realm and hundreds of people in the Xuanguan realm!"

“How can these evil cultivators still have so many masters?”

Yan Lie said: "The main thing is that they still have a city. If you look around, this black smoke monster is densely packed like a sea. I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred thousand!"

 Chen Qing felt his blood boiling when he saw this scene. Since being promoted to the Xuan Guan realm, his strength has increased several times.

Other than being unable to let go of his hands and feet and being pinned down and beaten violently by Dan Yunzi, he has never had any normal fights. Now that he sees so many enemies, he just feels itchy and unbearable.

 Chen Qing stepped forward, "How brave, you actually dare to come!"

The battle is about to begin, and everyone's eyes are focused on Chen Qing, expecting this overlord who is the most brave and brave in Nanli to give orders.

Lu Chen appeared in Chen Qing's hand, "Look at the black hole in front of you, it's a devil's cave!" (End of this chapter)
