Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

They returned to the top of the valley, completely hidden in the snow. Looking forward, they saw a few crystal spiritual herbs swaying in the wind on the steep stone wall in front of them.

A white jade toad leaped high over from the side, and with a roll of its long tongue, it swept up all the dragon snake fruits on the fruit and put them into its mouth.

"My dragon snake fruit!" Murong Zhixiu felt heartbroken.

Jiang Chengji suddenly thought of another point and said, "The dragon energy of the underground dragon vein also overflows from there. Perhaps we can find another way and dig deeper from that location to dig a passage into the underground dragon vein!"

Gu Chi and Murong Zhixiu both thought this method was feasible, so they took action immediately when all the white jade toads went to another location.

They broke through the ice and snow-covered ground and dug downwards quickly, but they encountered resistance after only going down a few dozen meters.

There is an array pattern underground that completely seals off everything deep within the earth, making it impossible to break through.

Jiang Chengji said, "It seems that Yuchan Palace discovered this dragon vein a long time ago, and therefore sealed it underground. There must be something extraordinary underneath!"

"These array patterns and restrictions are extremely mysterious and not easy to crack." The big black dog frowned.

"I understand. This must be the remains left after the destruction of the Biluo Immortal Palace in ancient times!" Murong Zhixiu was surprised and happy to think of this possibility.

"In that case, maybe a great opportunity is waiting for us?" Gu Chi laughed.

"It could be a great opportunity, but it could also be a place of eternal damnation for us." Jiang Chengji said solemnly. According to his judgment, something must have happened to the dragon vein under the ground, otherwise it would be impossible for so much dragon energy to leak out.

"Whether it's good or bad, you'll only know after you encounter it." Gu Chi turned his head to look at the big black dog and asked softly, "Old Black, are you sure you can break these array patterns?"

The big black dog said, "You can try."

Murong Zhixiu placed his hands on the big black dog's shoulders, and said with an expression of entrusting him with a great responsibility, "Brother Xuanyou, a great opportunity is right in front of you. You must strive for excellence."

Gu Chi glanced at him and said, "Alright, let's go out and help Lao Hei divert the attention of those white jade toads so that he can break the restriction here in peace."

The three of them jumped out from the ground. Gu Chi picked up a piece of ice and threw it at a group of white jade toads in the distance, then ran in one direction.

“Quack…quack…quack…”

"Run the fuck away!"

Jiang Chengji and Murong Zhixiu came to their senses and quickly fled.

The entire tribe of white jade toads was alarmed and split into three torrents, chasing in three directions.

They have amazing jumping ability and can jump six or seven hundred meters with one leap.

"what!"

With a scream, a white jade toad stretched out its long tongue, wrapped it around Murong Zhixiu's ankle, and suddenly pulled him down from the sky.

With a "bang", another white jade toad jumped high and slapped him down.

This race is naturally extremely strong. Although they look about the same size as a rabbit, the slap that fell on them directly embedded Murong Zhixiu deeply into the ground, causing him to grimace in pain.

In the distance, Gu Chi and Jiang Chengji, who were also fleeing at high speed, saw this scene and couldn't help but gasp in amazement and express their heartache.

"Quack quack... quack quack..."

Murong Zhixiu didn't care about the pain in his body. He saw a dense group of white jade toads behind him rising and falling like a tide and flooding towards him. He quickly shattered the ice around him and ran away as if his butt was on fire.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened that the three of them reunited. Murong Zhixiu had bruises all over his body and his face was swollen. No one knew what kind of torture he had suffered.

He limped over to the big black dog and asked, "Brother Xuanyou, what's wrong?"

"These array patterns and restrictions are extremely profound. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of breaking them. However, due to their age, they have been worn down by the power of time, and some flaws have finally been revealed. It should be possible to break them."

Only Gu Chi could understand what the big black dog said, so in order to facilitate communication, it directly used its spiritual power to transmit the message.

When they heard this conclusion, they were all cheered up, and Murong Zhixiu's fatigue and pain from the day and night seemed to be relieved a lot.

It was already night, and the white jade toads outside had let the three of them walk around all day and were already exhausted. As long as Gu Chi and the other outsiders didn't mess around, they would be too lazy to pay attention to them, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed.

The big black dog looked focused, and its pair of big paws kept scratching in front of it.

It was a long process. When the sky was just beginning to brighten, the big black dog finally broke through a hole, went deep into the ground, and then fell into a huge underground palace.

This is a huge project, extremely vast, with no end in sight.

The magnificent underground palace exudes antiquity, as if covered with a layer of dust. All the buildings including palaces, halls, towers, pavilions and terraces are covered with traces left by the years.

Although we are deep underground, it is not very dark here. There are many strange stones around that are shining with light, and you can see all of this clearly with the naked eye.

In addition, there is a strong dragon energy surging here, as if magnificent rivers are rushing through their bodies. Bathing in it makes people feel refreshed.

"Is this the ruins of the ancient Biluo Immortal Palace?" Gu Chi looked around. The scene in front of her was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

The vast underground palace seemed to have no end. It was dead silent, without a single sound.

"That's probably right."

"Let's go and take a look ahead."

Without stopping, they rushed straight towards the source of the dragon energy.

The scale of this underground palace was far larger than they had imagined. They flew for half an hour but still hadn't reached their destination.

"Why do I feel like something is not right? Is this really the remains of the Biluo Immortal Palace?" Gu Chi asked, feeling a little uneasy for no reason.

They passed through one palace after another and finally approached the source of the dragon energy.

The road ahead was cut off, and a huge abyss lay across the way. The many palaces, temples and towers behind seemed to be standing on cliffs.

This abyss is estimated to be more than 900 feet deep. It is as dark as ink at the bottom and nothing can be seen, which makes people feel a little creepy.

Endless dragon energy surged up from the abyss, full of mystery and weirdness.

"Why do I feel this place is a bit weird?" Murong Zhixiu felt a chill on his spine and shivered unconsciously.

It was empty and silent, and this abyss seemed to be connected to the underworld, as if it could devour people's souls, making people feel palpitations in their hearts and dare not stare at it for too long.

In the abyss of endless darkness, dragon energy surged like a flood. Occasionally, some divine light could be seen shining. Those were fragments of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, crystal clear, glowing like fireflies.

Murong Zhixiu said, "Even the fragments of the Heavenly Spirit Stone have been washed out. I'm sure there must be some incredible and astonishing treasure hidden underneath!"
