Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai heard that the woman seemed reluctant to mention what happened a hundred thousand years ago, so he was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

She didn't choose to take action again. She suspended in mid-air and stopped without any movement.

Not long after.

The woman suspended in mid-air slowly fell back into the coffin, and the coffin lid that had just flown out also flew out of thin air and closed again.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of white mist suddenly appeared around him, and turned into a woman's figure in front of Lin Bai.

The white mist dissipated, and the woman condensed out.

The appearance of this woman is almost exactly the same as that of Gu Jing who was suspended in mid-air just now.

But the only difference is... Gu Jing, who was suspended in mid-air just now, had an expressionless face and empty eyes, as if she was a walking corpse.

The woman who appeared in front of Lin Bai now, although ethereal and like a gas, had the expression of an ordinary person and smart eyes.

"Senior, you..." Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, looked at the woman in front of him, and then at the coffin. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

Gu Jing pursed her lips and smiled softly: "What you saw just now was me, and the person you see now is also me."

"But... the person you saw just now wasn't me even if you said it was me; and when you see it now, it's not me even if you say it's me."

Lin Bai was confused and looked at the white shadow in front of him strangely.

Gu Jing said: "Her body is her body, and I am her soul. When we become one, we are the real Gu Jing."

"Ah..." Lin Bai's eyes widened, completely confused as to what kind of secret method could be used to completely separate the soul from the body.

Gu Jing sighed softly: "One hundred thousand years ago, when I returned to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, I was still seriously injured, and I almost ran out of ammunition and food."

"Then the Holy Lord fell, the Nine Nether Demon Palace fell apart, and powerful enemies from the outside surrounded us. We were also dying, and we felt that we were unable to reverse the situation of the war."

"What awaits us is bound to be a dead end."

"Those people will never allow us to survive in the world."

"So..." Gu Jing smiled disdainfully, her eyes full of contempt, as if she was mocking the incompetence of that group of people: "So instead of sitting back and waiting for death, we might as well find a way to get a chance of survival."

"So, the nine of us acted separately. Some chose to continue to flee, some chose to surrender, and some chose to take dangerous risks."

"And I am the one who chooses to make dangerous moves!"

Gu Jing whispered: "I was already seriously injured back then. Even if no powerful enemy came to visit me, I would not have survived ten years."

"So after I buried the Holy Lord's body in the burial soil, I built this mausoleum for the Holy Lord, and then used a secret method to separate my soul from my body."

"This is a kind of immortality technique!"

Immortality... Lin Bai heard this name again.

The word "immortality" originally meant an extremely auspicious name, but almost all the immortality techniques that Lin Bai encountered now were extremely weird.

The women in the temple also used the longevity technique to live in that illusion.

But did she really survive?

She was alive, but she couldn't leave the stone walls of the temple.

But now Lin Bai heard the words "immortality technique" again from Gu Jing's mouth.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Holy King!"

Gu Jing unexpectedly did not embarrass Lin Bai anymore. The faint spirit walked forward slowly. After arriving at the temple, she used a magic trick to open a secret door.

Behind the secret door is a passage lit with dim lights, leading to an unknown area ahead.

Gu Jing cast a spell to close the magic circles and mechanisms in the passage, and then she led Lin Bai forward.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally walked through the extremely long passage and came to the end of the passage, which turned out to be a huge space.

"This place should be within the hinterland of the mountains."

"That is, within the hinterland of Eternal Tomb!"

Before setting foot on the Holy Lord Ancient Road, Lin Bai knew that the mountains here were called Eternal Tombs.

The end of the Holy Lord's Ancient Road was just in front of the Eternal Tomb. After entering the temple and walking through the extremely long passage, Lin Bai estimated their pace and had probably reached the hinterland of the Eternal Tomb.

Since Gu Jing cast a spell to temporarily close all the magic circle restrictions and machine puppets here, Lin Bai and others encountered almost no danger along the way.

If these magic circle restrictions and mechanism puppets were not closed, it would be a narrow escape to reach this point.

At the end of the passage is a huge mountain space.

This space is still dark and lightless, but there are many luminous plants and vines on the ground, bringing some light to this dark space.

The moment Lin Bai walked out of the passage, his eyes were attracted by a spiritual flower emitting nine colors of light in this space.

He opened his magic eyes and looked, only to see a dark green pool in the southwest of this space. There was nothing in it, except for a lotus root rooted in it.

The lotus grows extremely well and exudes full spirituality.

The lotus flower has nine petals, with nine colors in total. There are also nine lotus seeds inside, which are also nine colors.

"That's..." Lin Bai took a look. Although he didn't know the origin of this object, he could still feel that this object was unusual.

"Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus!" Gu Jing explained calmly: "The legendary magical medicine that can revive the dead with flesh and bones, is also one of the main ingredients for refining the elixir of immortality."

"Even if a warrior swallows it directly, it can instantly increase his life span by ten thousand years."

What!

Lin Bai was stunned, looking at the Nine Color Immortal Lotus with barely concealed greed.

According to legend, it is a magic medicine that can reverse the yin and yang, make flesh and bones white, and make the living dead.

One of the main ingredients in refining the elixir of immortality.

Just swallowing it can increase your life span by 10,000 years!

This... made Lin Bai's eyes widen unconsciously.

"Can he save the Holy Lord?" Lin Bai was very confused. Is Gu Jing planning to use the Nine Color Immortal Lotus to save the Holy Lord? Or to save her?

"I don't know." Gu Jing shook her head and said, "It's not mature yet. It will take at least a hundred thousand years before it can be matured and used as medicine."

"The nine-color immortal lotus you see now is only in its infancy."

Infancy!

Will it take another 100,000 years to mature enough to use medicine?

Lin Bai couldn't help but take a deep breath. Magic medicine like this, which can kill human flesh and bones, almost always takes hundreds of thousands of years to mature.

If an immature magic medicine is used to refine the elixir, the potency of the medicine will be greatly reduced by half, and it is estimated that it will not have the legendary effect.

Otherwise, Gu Jing would have used it to revive Shengjun, or perhaps herself.

"Living dead, flesh and bones, these are just a few words in classics and legends." Gu Jing's eyes were a little sad: "After all... no one has really saved anyone with this magical medicine!"

indeed so.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and nodded.

If this magic medicine that can kill human flesh and bones matures, are you going to use it to save a person? Or use it to refine an elixir of immortality for yourself?

This is a question worth thinking about.

This is why there are so many records about this magical medicine in ancient and modern classics, but there is no record in any classics... that it has saved people. (End of chapter)
