Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"I know there are many rumors circulating within the sect, saying that after entering the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm, outer disciples become the inner disciples' vanguards, human shields! I want to tell you right here, this is pure nonsense!"

Yang Shan, the leader of the Heming Sect, stood in the air, his purple Taoist robe rustling in the wind. His eyes, like torches, swept over every disciple standing in the square, and his voice was as loud as a bell.

"As the Sect Master, I want to tell you that no matter if you are an outer disciple, an inner disciple, or a direct disciple, there is no such thing as someone's life being noble or someone's life being humble!"

"Although the sects have different attitudes towards different disciples, this is also a helpless move made after weighing the pros and cons. The ten major sects can't even treat everyone equally, let alone us small sects?"

"The sect is currently in a state of disrepair and in need of reconstruction. For the sake of the sect's long-term development, some people will inevitably have to make sacrifices. However, the sect will not forget anyone who has made efforts and contributions to the sect. Your names will be engraved on the monument to the sages, admired by future generations, and immortalized forever!"

It is said that he can become the sect leader. After a few words, the disciples who had originally looked dejected suddenly felt rekindled and their hearts were filled with excitement.

"Damn it! I'm going to die, why should I be afraid of a bird's egg?"

"My name will be engraved on the monument to the sages. Even if the disciples of Heming Sect in later generations have never heard of me, they should know that I died fighting for the sect and was a pioneer in its rise!"

"Even if jade is shattered, its whiteness cannot be destroyed; even if bamboo is burned, its integrity cannot be destroyed. Even if my body dies, my name can be passed down in history!"

No matter when and where, ways to leave one's name through the ages, such as having one's name engraved on a monument, being recorded in history books, or opening a separate page in the family tree, are extremely tempting to people and are enough to make them fearless of death.

Gu Chi found Chen Sheng's figure in the crowd. He had now broken through to the ninth level of Qi training and was worthy of being called a master in the outer sect. At this moment, he was surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars, and was being flattered.

Gu Chi smiled faintly and didn't go over to disturb him.

When Sect Master Yang Shan finished his passionate speech, three huge flying boats slowly rose from the depths of the sect and hovered over the square, casting large shadows. The purple metallic luster flashed, appearing heavy and solid.

With a look of determination on everyone's face, they flew onto the flying boat on their swords.

"Old Black, come up quickly."

Gu Chiji made a mistake and flew up into the sky with the big black dog.

The one who was driving the flying boat and escorting Gu Chi and his group to the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain was an elder in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Have a safe trip and return safely!"

The voice of Sect Master Yang Shan resounded in everyone's ears.

The three flying boats transformed into three rays of purple light and flew through the air, disappearing above the square and heading towards the horizon.

Gu Chi and the big black dog hid in the corner, chewing on the dry food they brought with them, while whispering about what they should pay attention to after entering the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain.

As far as she knew, when the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm opened this time, the ten top sects of Qian Country would also send disciples there. Those people were strong and would often be the biggest winners.

However, Beiyin Mountain is a world of its own, and its internal territory is vast and boundless. Sometimes whether you can get an opportunity depends not on your strength but on luck.

Jingzhou, as its name suggests, has beautiful mountain and water scenery like a painting. It covers an area of ​​five or six thousand miles. The central city is called Danqing City, which is very beautiful and quite famous in the entire Qian Kingdom. The city is full of gardens that are breathtakingly beautiful.

"The exact opening time of the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm cannot be determined, but it should be in the next few days. Let's wait in this city first." said the elder who was responsible for escorting Gu Chi and his group.

According to him, the current location of the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm in previous years was here, and it should be fixed. The only difference is that the specific opening time is sometimes one or two days earlier, and sometimes four or five days later. It is always a good idea to come and guard it in advance.

They did not enter the city, but directly docked the flying boat outside Danqing City.

"The Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm has rules and restrictions. Cultivators above the Qi training stage cannot enter. I can only escort you here. Once you enter, everything will be on your own."

Gu Chi noticed that they were not the first to arrive at Danqing City. There were several flying boats as big as cities docked not far away.

On the bow of the first flying boat stood a man in white, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extraordinarily handsome.

On the front eaves of the second flying boat stood a blond man who looked to be about thirty years old.

On the third flying boat, a man in a turquoise robe sat cross-legged, gazing towards the distant horizon.

The three flying boats were several times larger than the Heming Sect's flying boat, and each of them had a large flag with the three large characters "Linglong Sect" written on it.

"Linglong Sect? Lao Hei, that's the flying boat of Linglong Sect. Do you think Erlangzi will come too?" Gu Chi suddenly remembered Erlangzi who often stole wine and drank with her in the coffin shop in Tingfeng Town.

In order to avoid being hunted down by the Lin family, she entrusted a young monk from the Thousand Buddha Temple to send Erlangzi to the Linglong Sect for refuge. Now, almost thirty years have passed. I guess Erlangzi must have grown up a long time ago, right?

The big black dog also missed Erlangzi very much and said, "How about we go over and ask him?"

Gu Chi shook his head and said, "There are so many people around here, it's better not to attract attention."

At this moment, melodious flute music came from the distant skyline, and a flying boat full of roses came through the air, with pink and crystal petals flying all over the sky, and the fragrance was floating in the air.

There were more than a dozen graceful women on the deck of the flying boat, their white clothes were as white as snow, and they were floating in the air. Although their looks were not absolutely beautiful, they were elegant and otherworldly, and they all had an ethereal aura that was not tainted by the world.

They are light and graceful, like elves dancing under the moon. Some play the jade flute, some stroke the zither, and play the celestial music of heaven. The rhythm of each note makes people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze, sweeping away all the gloom in their hearts.

"These are people from Tianyinque, one of the ten great immortal sects." The elder of Heming Sect explained to everyone, and at the same time he was surprised. In previous years, when the Beiyin Mountain secret realm was opened, Tianyinque never sent anyone to participate. Why did they come to join in the fun this time?

"Rumble..."

Immediately afterwards, clouds suddenly rolled up in the sky on the other side, and a dazzling light burst out from the clouds. A palace made entirely of colorful divine jade slowly emerged from the void and came towards Danqing City.

At the same time, there was a loud noise coming from another direction. A terrifying wave like a tsunami swept through the clouds, and a giant palace made entirely of lapis lazuli rolled across the sky and hovered above Danqing City.

Gu Chi exclaimed in her heart, "Oh my god!" She originally thought that it was already very impressive for their Heming Sect to use a flying boat for travel, but she didn't expect that these people would actually build an entire palace.

With such a grand display, it goes without saying that these two palaces must be of great importance, most likely belonging to two of the ten great immortal sects.
