Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"In theory, it is indeed possible to do so. Fortunately, the Martial God Temple only obtained an incomplete method and cannot achieve this."

Ling Xiaoke earnestly warned: "Even if the method is incomplete, as long as his main and secondary bodies' Dao Fruits merge, most of the young generation's outstanding geniuses will respect him.

If you encounter him in Kunlun Ruins, use all your dirty tricks on him, as long as you can kill him. Don't try to confront him head-on."

Gu Chi curled his lips and muttered, "Since you're going to play dirty, why didn't you just destroy his secondary body with a slap and completely put a stop to his plan of fusing with the Dao Fruit?"

"This evil disciple deserves a beating!"

Ling Xiaoke raised his finger and a small golden stone shot out, hitting Gu Chi on the forehead with a "bang", causing her to fall backward from the tree into the thorny bushes.

"That's exactly what I was thinking just now. If I had just slapped him to death, there wouldn't have been any trouble later. But if I had done that, the Martial God Hall would have been desperate. I can't always be by your side. Before you've truly grown up, it's best not to push them too hard."

In Lingxiaoke's eyes, Gu Chi's life is much more precious than those so-called young geniuses in the Temple of Martial God.

If the Martial God Temple really sent out a Half-Step Lord to forcibly kill Gu Chi while he was away, even if he killed more people to vent his anger afterwards, it would not be able to make up for the loss.

Furthermore, Lingxiaoke said frankly that he was going on a long journey, which would take at least two or three months, or at most four or five years.

Gu Chi emerged from the bushes, his body entangled in large thorny vines. He asked in surprise, "Where are you going? Are you going to the underground palace under the Jingzhou ruins?"

Ling Xiaoke shook his head and said, "I have already explored that place before. Beneath the three huge tombstones, there are indeed three specially made coffins, which are used to transfer the power of the three reincarnations. However, this is not the place where the old Taoist master suffered a severe blow to his origin in the past."

According to him, the owner of the tomb who cast the Three Lives Monument was only a half-step Lord before his death. The backup plan he left behind could not possibly hurt the old Taoist master of the Hongmeng Taoist Temple in the past, and he did not find any traces left by the old Taoist master there.

Gu Chi asked: "Then where are you going?"

Ling Xiaoke uttered three words: "Jade Emperor Mountain."

"what?!"

Gu Chi was shocked. She knew that there was a road leading to the upper realm on Yuhuang Mountain. She had leaked this news deliberately at the Jingzhou ruins in order to divert the attention of the major transcendental sects so that she could find time to go to Tiefu Mountain to look for clues to the Nine Secrets of Tianyuan.

Now, the attention of the major figures of the Jiuli Dynasty and even the Qian Kingdom's transcendental sects has indeed been focused on Jade Emperor Mountain, and only a small number of people are still staring at her.

"There is an ancient road leading to the upper realm hidden in Yuhuang Mountain. It is still uncertain whether these things are true or not. Why are you going there to join in the fun?" Gu Chi wanted to dissuade him and did not want the old man to wade into that muddy water.

"No, perhaps the legend is true. I heard that someone has already broken into Jade Emperor Mountain and discovered a road to heaven that has been sealed for thousands of years."

In the past few days, Lingxiaoke has inquired from many sources and learned some information, so he decided to go to Yuhuang Mountain to investigate in person.

"I heard it's a dangerous place. Many important figures have gone in, and few have come out alive. Are you sure you want to take the risk?"

"Where there is a place of death, there must be a place of life. If that road to heaven really exists, it is worth my risk." Ling Xiaoke twirled his beard, and a hint of urgency and determination could be seen in his turbid old eyes.

According to him, a catastrophe is coming, and even he will not be spared. The only way to survive is to find the road to heaven and open it up.

He went to Yuhuang Mountain this time not only for himself, but also to find a way to survive for Gu Chi and the big black dog.

"You must be careful of retaliation from the Xiang Palace. When your master is not at the dojo, you must know when to advance and when to retreat, and know how to protect yourself."

Ling Xiaoke gave special instructions, saying that the great ancestor of the Prince of Xiang's Mansion had not much time left and had fled directly after his last defeat, probably in order to make use of his last bit of energy at the critical moment. He might very well take action against Gu Chi when he was not in the Taoist temple.

"Don't worry, I have the means to protect myself." Gu Chi said. She also had the Quesi Hairpin and the Rags Banner, the two strongest backup weapons of the sect.

The rag banner was something she had obtained in the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain. It was extremely powerful, but she had hardly ever used it over the years, always keeping it as a backup.

Not to mention Que Sixan, he can even kill a Half-Step Lord with one strike. If he really unleashes his power, it is hard to imagine what a terrifying scene it would be.

Ling Xiaoke stood up, patted Gu Chi on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "As the saying goes, all rivers flow into the sea. When the Kunlun Ruins Secret Realm opens, I hope you can get a good ranking and don't bring shame to our Hongmeng Dojo."

Gu Chi was speechless and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll die in there and won't be able to get out?"

Ling Xiaoke disagreed and said, "With your current strength, as long as you don't go around looking for death, you will most likely be able to hold on until the end."

He had only three tasks for Gu Chi: to kill the heir of the Temple of the God of War; to kill the ancient freak who had killed several of his descendants; and finally to find the fairy flower that opened the land of fortune as much as possible and seize the greatest fortune.

"Of course, there are also some peerless divine fruits and immortal materials. If you come across them, don't miss them. Those things are not easy to find in the outside world."

"What kind of dangers will one encounter after entering the Kunlun Ruins secret realm?"

Gu Chi cares more about these things, so it would be better to understand them in advance so that he can prepare in advance.

"It's hard to say, it seems like it's different every time it's opened." Ling Xiaoke has never actually entered the Kunlun Ruins secret realm, and everything he knows is what he learned from others.

The two chatted for a long time, until it was getting dark, Lingxiaoke got up and prepared to set off for Yuhuang Mountain.

He looked at Gu Chi, then at the big black dog that was already fast asleep under a tree not far away, and said, "To be safe, you two should leave the dojo for the time being."

He didn't need to say anything. As soon as the old man left, Gu Chi would take the big black dog and leave the broken mountain gate and run away.

Before leaving, Ling Xiaoke placed two human-shaped talismans into the spiritual altars of Gu Chi and the big black dog respectively, saying that the talismans contained the power of his full-strength palm, which could protect Gu Chi and the others from disaster at the critical moment.

"Okay, I'm leaving now!"

Ling Xiaoke's eyes were firm and fierce. He tore through the void and left.

Not long after, Gu Chi also packed up his equipment with the big black dog and walked down the mountain along the dilapidated bluestone steps.

The big black dog yawned and asked, "Sister Gu Chi, where are we going now?"

Gu Chi said: "Let's go find Tuoba Cang and the others to join us. After the Kunlun Ruins Secret Realm is opened, we can also take advantage of their 'ride'."

The backs of the man and the dog were stretched out in the moonlight, and as they whispered to each other, they gradually disappeared into the silent mountains.
