Primordial Qi

True energy flowed through his limbs and bones, and Gu Chenyu couldn't help but let out a groan. This kind of power was simply tailor-made for him.

“I don’t know if I can beat Li Tianxuan now.” Gu Chenyu closed his eyes and smiled foolishly. The Xuanyu Duanxu Ointment allowed his meridians to be reorganized. Not only did he find the spiritual power hidden in his body, he also happened to condense his true essence. Now he can be regarded as a warrior in the Gathering Spirit Realm, but it’s a pity that it’s still far from enough.

His current combat capability should only be at the Grandmaster level. Without the blessing of the rune, it would be difficult for him to fight against the Venerable. However, Gu Qingxue's sword killed many Venerables, and even the Celestial Being was seriously injured. Gu Chenyu felt that he should be able to leave here and find an exit.

He put on his clothes and felt refreshed. Gu Qingxue was still sleeping. Gu Chenyu felt very uncomfortable looking at her old face. It was unacceptable for a beautiful and pure fairy to become an old lady. Gu Chenyu was afraid that this woman would commit suicide because she was so depressed.

The world of cultivation is so vast that there may be some elixir that can restore youth. However, Gu Chenyu thought of that old woman again. She was so old now. He didn't know if there was any such elixir in this secret realm. His mood suddenly became complicated. He didn't dare to look directly at Gu Qingxue's face. The two of them were already friends of life and death. How could he abandon Gu Qingxue? She had seen his body naked. He had to ask her to compensate him.

Gu Chenyu sat cross-legged beside Gu Qingxue, quietly waiting for Gu Qingxue to wake up. After a while, Gu Qingxue finally woke up slowly, and when she saw Gu Chenyu sitting cross-legged beside her, she was relieved. This young man turned a disaster into a blessing, and got his own opportunity.

"Are you awake?" Gu Chenyu opened his eyes and asked kindly.

"Well. Do I look ugly now?" Gu Qingxue asked softly.

"It's not ugly." Gu Chenyu said sincerely.

"It's impossible for someone to not look ugly when they get old. It's not good to be able to speak sweet words at a young age."

“It’s really not bad looking.”

Gu Qingxue sighed and touched her old face. She didn't even dare to look at her dry and wrinkled hands.

Gu Chenyu held her hands tightly, stared into her eyes and said sincerely: "It's not ugly. Besides, we are in the secret realm of Lingmu. There may be ways to restore your youth. In my hometown, there is a magical fruit called ginseng fruit. It looks like a baby and has the effect of prolonging life, rejuvenating, keeping youth forever and even immortality. Even if I search the whole world, I will find a way to restore your youth."

Gu Qingxue's eyes were slightly touched. She grew up in Tianxing Sect and was accepted as a direct disciple by the monarch realm ancestor. It took her only forty years to break through the realm and reach the heavenly realm. She was gifted. She had lived for more than a thousand years and had never made it. She was considered a child who was not even ten years old among mortals, but now she was old, like a sixty-year-old lady.

"I……"

Gu Qingxue held back her tears. She had only lived a little longer, but her mind was far from mature. She was either cultivating or practicing. It was the idea of the monarch ancestor to sneak into the Lingmu Secret Realm. He said that there was a catastrophe in her life. If she could get through it, her future achievements would be limitless. If she couldn't get through it, she would die there. The ancestor calculated the secret of heaven with her life span. He also advised Gu Qingxue not to try it easily, lest she die. But she didn't care so much at the time. She came here when she heard that there was a chance to change her fate. But now she regretted it.

Gu Chenyu hugged Gu Qingxue and let her tears wet her clothes. She naturally could not accept the result that no one else could accept, but she always believed in the ancestor's prophecy and did not give up easily.

"Leave the secret realm?" asked Gu Chenyu.

Gu Qingxue refused. She didn't want anyone to see her like this. If she had to meet people with this face, she would rather die.

Gu Chenyu also understood her concerns. After telling her to take care of herself, Gu Chenyu left. If she didn't go out to look for opportunities, there would really be nothing she could do.

Outside the Lingmu Secret Realm, Li Tianxuan took a group of people out of the secret realm. He killed hundreds of remnants of the Qiwu Sect in half a month. He found the Qiwu Sect's lair and even wiped it out. However, he did not see the powerful celestial being. So he personally came forward to ask the ancestor of the celestial being to take action. No matter what, he had to avenge Gu Chenyu.

"Ancestor, the secret realm suddenly changed. The remnants of the Qiwu Sect slaughtered the disciples of the four sects and the Protectorate. More than half of the disciples were killed in three months. We gathered people in the later period and almost wiped out their lair, but there is still a powerful celestial being missing. I got a spiritual fruit. If you take it, you can use spiritual power in the secret realm and even comprehend the law of time. Please take the spiritual fruit and enter the secret realm to kill the enemy."

More than a dozen celestial ancestors had gloomy expressions on their faces. This group of remnants had actually sneaked into the secret realm without being noticed, and had grown so powerful in it. It was impossible for them not to look embarrassed after killing so many disciples.

Chang Yin, the immortal from the Protectorate, was even more murderous. Whenever anything unexpected happened to Chu Tianyang, he would rush in and kill the enemy even without any spiritual fruit.

A bright red fruit was suspended in the air. These celestial beings all had their own ulterior motives. Disciples' affairs were the sect's affairs, but this fruit contained the law of time, and that was what they were fighting for.

If you want to be promoted to the monarch realm, you need to comprehend certain laws. If you break through the heavenly realm, you will learn a law. Then, breaking through to the monarch realm will be a natural thing.

Lingmu Sect and the Protectorate are undoubtedly the most qualified forces to obtain this fruit, but it is clear that the Protectorate will not give Lingmu Sect another chance to give birth to a monarch. If this fruit is handed over to the Dawu Dynasty, a huge reward will be given. The spiritual medicine that can make a celestial being a monarch is extremely precious. The people in the Protectorate have uncertain expressions. Li Tianxuan suddenly realized that it would be a mistake to bring out the fruit this time. If the spiritual medicine is taken away by the people in the Protectorate, no one in the secret realm will be able to defeat the celestial being.

The ancestor of the Lingmu Sect knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to make a decision on his own, but it was obviously unlikely that his own people would take it. The current leader of the Lingmu Sect, Mu Daoyuan, also found it difficult to make a decision. Their sect's secret realm had gone so wrong. If they did not deal with that celestial being, they might not be able to enter the secret realm safely.

Mu Daoyuan looked solemn, but he finally handed the spiritual fruit to Chang Yin with pain.

"Commander Chang, let's hand this spiritual fruit over to the Protectorate for disposal."

Chang Yin nodded. This saved him some trouble. He also decided to waive the extra tax on spiritual medicine for the next two months.

Who should the spiritual fruit be given to? Of course, it should be given to Chu Tianyang, the future master of the Protectorate. Li Tianxuan's face flushed red, but he dared not speak out. The Lingmu Sect had been beaten to pieces by the Dawu Dynasty, and they were willing to give up such a treasure. He left in anger and led his people back to the secret realm. The people who were with him also looked desperate. Who knew that the celestial being in the secret realm would find that his power had been wiped out and the layout of hundreds of years had been destroyed. He might vent his anger on the people in the secret realm.

Ignoring these spineless people, Li Tianxuan placed his hope on Li Tianjun, hoping that he could produce this kind of fruit again. He never said how many spiritual fruits there were there, nor did he say where that place was. It was just that this spiritual fruit was so precious that they all thought there was only one.

He walked deeper into the secret realm to look for Li Tianjun's whereabouts.
