Longevity Begins With Gu Refining

Chapter 215: Venerable King – Undying Edict

Seeing that Chen Qing and the others were about to catch up again, Yan Xingchen extended his hand and grabbed a handful of lightning, pressing it into the black cloud beneath his feet.

With the endless lightning dissolving into the cloud, the cloud's flying speed increased noticeably.

The cloud passed by the Dragon Stallion Army, leaving behind over a hundred corpses before quickly fleeing.

Chen Qing stood at the front on his green ox. He waved his hand and signalled for everyone to stop, "Let them go. We have more important things to do."

The cloud was even faster than their dragon horses. If they forced their way through, they would only reach the edge of the city.

Chen Qing arrived at the center of the formation on his green ox, "Count the casualties."

Very soon, someone carried over eleven corpses, "Wen Zong, these are our fallen brothers."

"They charged at the front and were struck by too much lightning."

Chen Qing dismounted from his green ox and went up to check. He extended his hand and checked the corpses.

"Lu Shenglong, summon the soul."

Lu Shenglong still had no idea what Chen Qing wanted to do, "Alright!"

Lu Shenglong used a soul-summoning technique. Very soon, a figure condensed before Chen Qing.

Chen Qing looked at the young man before him. He clenched his fists before lowering them again. He said with a deep voice, "You're Lu Shen. If I remember correctly, you have a son and a daughter."

Lu Shen's soul shook slightly, "They're all in Nine River City. They're almost at the age of going to school."

Chen Qing said calmly, "You haven't taken me as your master yet, right?"

Lu Shen nodded. He seemed to have realised something, "Wen Zong, you mean?"

Chen Qing nodded, "Join my sect in the future."

Lu Shen immediately cheered up, "Thank you, Wen Zong!"

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment before asking in the end, "Let me ask you, are you willing to give me your heart?"

"Think carefully before you answer. You only have this one chance."

Lu Shen thought for a moment, "It's just a heart. I'm already dead anyway. Since Wen Zong wants it, Wen Zong can take it."

Hearing that, Chen Qing cut open the chest of Lu Shen's corpse and took out the heart.

The bloody heart was in Chen Qing's hand. Chen Qing slowly closed his eyes and clenched his right hand.

A large number of Dragon Stallion Army looked over. Chen Qing's demonic voice rang out in their ears.

"Lu Shen, in the name of Qing Xu, I grant you the authority of immortality."

"Without my permission, even if you die, you will still have to make way for me."

"Return, my brave warrior!"

The cycle of life and death. At this moment, life and death were rewritten.

[Honorable King – Undying Decree].

The bloody heart in Chen Qing's hand began to beat again. Lu Shen's physical body also began to recover rapidly. Blood flowed back, forming a large seal in his empty chest.

Then, Lu Shen's soul was sucked back into his body. Lu Shen opened his eyes again, looking at his surroundings in amazement.

"I survived?"

Life and death had been successfully rewritten.

Chen Qing didn't say too much. He simply placed Lu Shen's heart in a jade jar and wrote his name on it. Then, he kept it in his storage space.

"Return to the team."

Chen Qing continued like this, asking them one by one. Without any accidents, the eleven Dragon Stallion Army soldiers who had died in battle were all willing to give their hearts to Chen Qing.

After turning the last person into an undying, Chen Qing stood in the middle of the Dragon Legion Corps that had not lost any members.

Everyone looked at Chen Qing with a mysterious reverence in their eyes.

"Rise from the dead?"

"Even in life and death, we must crawl under Wen Zong's feet!"

"This is the authority that only gods and demons can have."

At this moment, everyone believed that Chen Qing would definitely win this battle of the Death Realm.

Because their leader could rewrite life and death!

Chen Qing flew up and sat on the green ox. "Let's go to the Bridge of Helplessness!"

What he said to Yan Xingchen was just to trick him into passing fake news to Ji Chang.

He and Ji Chang both clearly knew that the Dragon Legion was the only way to break out of this situation. How could they use it to fight Ji Chang head-on?

After Chen Qing finished speaking, the entire Dragon Legion Corps was silent. They all chased after Chen Qing's footsteps.

At this moment, Chen Qing had more insights. If the Royal Heaven Queen of Earth's advancement was a divine venomous worm.

Then what Chen Qing had now was the authority of this divine venomous worm.

And the Demonic God of Six Paths was the power of this divine venomous worm.

It was like a jigsaw puzzle.

Lu Shen was surrounded by many members of the Dragon Legion Army. They asked Lu Shen how he was feeling.

Lu Shen couldn't really explain it. "Other than feeling a little empty, I don't feel anything else."

Chen Qing looked back and let the Dragon Legion Corps members ask him about it.

In fact, he also wanted to know what the so-called eternal emptiness was.

Now that Lu Shen had just revived, he couldn't really tell what it was.

Lu Shenglong took out a map beside Chen Qing. "Wen Zong, as long as we charge over, we won't waste too much time. We will definitely reach the Bridge of Helplessness on the 15th."

Chen Qing said, "Let's speed up. We won't rest for the next seven days."

Amidst the mist, the Dragon Legion Corps charged forward, thousands of cavalry galloping.

Three days later, Ji Chang arrived with thousands of Shicha Legion Corps members. Yan Xingchen came out of the city to welcome them. "Yan Xingchen, I didn't complete His Highness's order."

Ji Chang coldly glanced at the battlefield. "How are the casualties?"

Yan Xingchen said, "Dragon Legion Corps charged twice. 45 of us were injured and 162 died."

"Also, according to my observations, these Dragon Legion Corps members are at least at the first realm of martial path."

Ji Chang's expression turned serious. "The Dragon Legion Corps is this strong?"

Blue Nether Dragoness said, "If that's the case, they are comparable to the Sky Dragon Legion."

Blue Nether Dragoness asked, "How are the enemy's casualties?"

Yan Xingchen was also a bit scared. "After the Dragon Legion Corps left, I came out to investigate. There are bloodstains on the ground, but …"

"But there are no casualties."

Speaking of this, Ji Chang finally became serious. "No casualties?"

"Could it be the Green Ruins Gu King?"

"Gu Kings with Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth are usually used to strengthen themselves. They don't have this kind of ability."

Blue Nether Dragoness said, "Could it be a new Gu King or a Gu King from the Immemorial Era?"

"That Gu King without injuries is suspected to be from the Immemorial Era."

Ji Chang said, "Let Ao Yu use the Dragon Palace Key and check the ancient books to see what kind of Gu the Green Ruins Gu King is."

"By the way, is there any specific information about Li Chonghuan's wolf demon?"

Yan Xingchen reported, "Currently, there's only news about the Deity leading the troops over. There's no specific information. They probably haven't fought yet."

Xiao clenched his golden right fist, "Now that the demons are causing trouble in the hinterland, should we go and suppress it?"

Ji Chang waved his hand, "No, the more we suppress it, the easier it will become a real demon disaster. If the demons have a real king and awaken the ancient bloodline, it will be very difficult."

"Li Chonghuan can stay undefeated anyway, let him resist for a while."

"The most important thing for us is to defeat the Dragon Stallion Army of Qing Xu."

"We don't even need to take down Qing Xu, we just need to defeat the Dragon Stallion Army, and victory will be in our hands."

"Once we defeat the Dragon Stallion Army, he and Xu Yaofeng will be trapped in Fengdu and Chaotian City, waiting for death!"

"It's not hard."

Ji Chang took out a map and looked at it carefully, "What we need to figure out now is why Qing Xu is still here when he hasn't gained any merit from wreaking havoc in our territory."

Ji Chang looked at Chen Qing's recent route carefully and found it very chaotic, which was obviously interfering with his judgment.

He drew a big circle on Chen Qing's recent route, but he couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

Just as he was about to look up, he suddenly saw the demon force wreaking havoc in his territory, and he frowned.

"They want to join forces with the demons?"

"Their central point is the Bridge of Helplessness!"

"With Zhou Li and Star Dragon Crown Prince blocking him, how can he be so confident that he can reach the Bridge of Helplessness in seven days? The two places are twenty-four thousand miles apart."

Ji Chang started to calculate carefully, "Even if we march at full speed, we can only reach two thousand miles in a day."

"And we need to rest on the way. The Dragon Stallion Army can reach four thousand miles in a day?"

Ji Chang looked at the Bridge of Helplessness, "Let's go, let's go and see if his destination is the Bridge of Helplessness."

Ji Chang turned around and rode on a green dragon, and so did the Dark Blue Dragon Lady.

Ji Chang stood on the dragon's head with his hands behind his back, letting the wind blow his cape.

After a day, there were some bloodstains on the ground ahead, so Ji Chang waved his hand and signaled the dragon to come closer.

As the azure dragon approached the blood stains, Ji Chang closed his eyes and put two fingers together to cast the Heavenly Dragon Roaming Technique.

A golden shadow appeared above Ji Chang's head. It then dashed forward at a terrifying speed, turning into a streak of light and flying in all directions.

The Divine Dragon Soaring Through the Sky quickly scouted out the surrounding situation.

Ten breaths later, the golden shadow returned to Ji Chang's body. Ji Chang said, "They killed thirty-two people."

"The destination of the Green Ruins really is the Bridge of Helplessness."

"Send my orders. Have Zhou Li, Star Dragon Crown Prince, and Killer Taoist combine their forces and attack Qing Xu's Dragon Stallion Army. We need to buy time. I'll be there soon!"

"Let me warn Zhou Li. He must not go alone."

The Deep Jade Dragoness cupped her fists and said, "I will pass on the order now."

"Prepare the Dharma Conch and transmit the message from ten thousand miles away."

Yanluo City.

Wangji stood in the completely sealed corridor of the city and waved his hand. "Open the small window."

The soldier obeyed the order and opened the small window. Wang Ji stood in the dark tunnel and looked outside. He could clearly see a large number of rolling demonic clouds in front of him.

It was obvious that the demonic beasts that had been wreaking havoc around them were about to arrive.

After a short while, Wangji saw a huge royal carriage pulled by nine black bulls slowly approaching.

There were four huge human skin lanterns around the carriage, illuminating the surroundings.

On the carriage were the four demonic generals, Tiger, Leopard, Jackal, and Wolf. They carried the huge Tiger Blade and looked around, wary of ambushes.

A monkey in a Confucian robe sat on the shaft of the carriage, reading a book.

Behind them was a dense horde of demonic beasts. There were actually thousands of them.

Wangji sighed. "Open the city gates. I will go talk to these demonic beasts."

"With the reputation of the Western Desert Buddhist Sect among the demonic beasts, we should be able to persuade them to retreat."

Although the soldiers were a little worried, they still chose to believe Wangji.

The Buddhist Sect had a great reputation in the Western Desert. Even the demonic beasts were on good terms with them.

Wangji walked out of the city gates alone. He put his palms together and said, "I am Wangji of the Western Desert Buddhist Sect. Demonic King in front, may I have a word with you?"

Hu Yao lifted the curtain and rode out on an extremely handsome white tiger. The white tiger stepped on the black bull's back and slowly moved forward to the front.

Hu Yao was dressed in red. A red lotus was embellished on her forehead. It complemented her snow-white skin and was exceptionally enchanting.

"Master Wangji?"

Many demonic beasts around said, "It's the great monk!"

"The great monk is a good person."

"The monk gave me meat to eat."

"Are we leaving?"

Hu Yao said, "Master Wangji, give us the ship in your city that can sail on the Bone River, and we will leave."

Wangji shook his head and said, "Demonic King, can you leave for my sake?"

"His Highness heard the news and is already rushing here. Benefactor, if you leave early, you can still be safe."

Hu Yao teased, "Ji Chang, when have I ever been afraid of him?"

Hu Yao took out a large banner with a flying dragon and a descending tiger painted on it.

She waved the banner and said, "If we don't kill this monk, all demonic beasts, listen to my command and destroy the city!"

At Hu Yao's command, the demonic beasts behind her became excited. Their eyes glowed red.

"For the Demonic King, kill!"

"F * ck, you f * cking stepped on my tail!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. I'll charge first!"

It was the first time Wangji realized that his identity as a Western Desert Buddhist Sect disciple was not useful to the demonic beasts. His eyes slowly emitted a golden light. He took a step forward and a lotus appeared under his feet. "The mortal world is boundless, and the sea of suffering is long. Since you don't listen to me, I can only send you back personally."

Hu Yao's eyes narrowed, and her tiger-like eyes widened. She spat out a huge black dragon that flew out and grabbed at Wang Ji.

She waved the banner in her left hand and waved it at Wangji.

Her every move was accompanied by the sound of tigers and dragons roaring.

Wangji created a lotus with each step. His entire body was glowing with Buddhist light, like an angry Vajra. He stood in the middle of the demonic beasts, suppressing them in all directions.

No matter how the demonic beasts rushed at him, he remained unmoved. He was like an unbreakable reef in the sea.

Hu Yao leaped out and waved her arms. The black dragon and white tiger immediately flew out and flew at Wangji. A terrifying pressure shook the entire place and swept through the sky.

The surrounding demonic beasts were all sent flying. Wangji, who was in the middle, naturally had to bear the boundless force.

Boom!

Wangji was sent flying by Hu Yao's punch. He crashed into the city wall, creating a large crater. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wangji asked himself how many moves he could exchange with an ancient dragon. He could also last a hundred moves against Star Dragon Crown Prince and Killer Taoist. Today, he was sent flying by a single punch from an unknown tiger demon. He was shocked.

"Demonic calamity!"

"This is definitely a sign of a demonic calamity!"

Hu Yao curiously came to Wangji's side. "Great monk, when you say demonic calamity, do you mean that I'm about to become a king?"

Wangji immediately shut up. Hu Yao continued to guess, "That's not right. The book says that demonic beasts must suffer defeat before a Demonic King rises. But I clearly haven't lost."

"What a strange monk."
