Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"Come again!"

Jiang Chengji didn't look injured at all. He was full of fighting spirit, his long black hair dancing wildly in the wind, his eyes sparkling. As he practiced the Nine Styles of the Heavenly Demon, he was in full force and invincible.

"crash"

The painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains unfolded, and all the mountains and rivers in the painting emerged, protecting the Purple Sky Saint in the center.

The landscape is picturesque and the beauties are poetic. No matter how strong Jiang Chengji is, he cannot conquer this land because this is the magic weapon left by the deceased Taoist master of Daoxuan League, and his Nine Heavenly Demon Styles have not yet been cultivated to perfection.

The painting of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains covers the sky and the sun, obscuring the entire sky, like a pure land outside the world. The Saint Zixiao stands quietly on a cliff, and the mark of the Great Dao is revealed on her fair forehead, making her look even more extraordinary and otherworldly, as if she does not belong to this mortal world.

From beginning to end, she maintained a calm and indifferent attitude, without much emotional fluctuation, and it was obvious that she still had energy left.

Murong Zhixiu was horrified. This Saintess of Daoxuan League was far more powerful than they had imagined. Her strength was astonishing and was definitely not comparable to those Saintess of other sects!

"Brother, the people from Yuchan Palace are coming out. Let's just forget it if it doesn't work!" Murong Zhixiu sent a telepathic message to Jiang Chengji, noticing that a large number of masters rushed out of the mountain gate of Yuchan Palace in the distance, including many elders.

Even though this ice field had been isolated by the magic circle set up by the big black dog, many elders in the Yuchan Palace still sensed the fluctuations of the battle.

Jiang Chengji stopped and looked at the large group of people rushing towards him in the distance, then looked at the ethereal and fairy-like Saint Zixiao in the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map, and finally decided to retreat.

"go!"

Jiang Chengji rolled up a cloud of black smoke and soared into the sky at the same time as Murong Zhixiu.

Seeing this, Gu Chi quickly picked up the melon seed shells on the ground, and turned into a long purple rainbow with the big black dog and disappeared at the end of the horizon.

"Hey, sister Qianhe, you're really too rude! We were just fighting like crazy up front, and you were still in the mood to eat sunflower seeds in the back!"

Gu Chi caught up with the team with the big black dog and immediately heard Murong Zhixiu's dissatisfied complaints.

Gu Chi twisted his hand around her hair and explained, "She and I don't have any deep hatred, so it's really not easy for Lao Hei and I to come down and help her."

After a pause, she continued, "Don't feel resigned. I saw clearly from the sidelines the mystery surrounding your authorities. The Purple Sky Saintess was holding back from the beginning to the end, and she never displayed her true fighting power."

If the fight really came to this, Jiang Chengji would still have a chance to escape. As for Murong Zhixiu, with the Four Symbols Inkstone restrained, he might die outside the Yuchan Palace if he had no other means of self-defense.

Jiang Chengji nodded and said, "This Saintess of Daoxuan League is truly remarkable. I underestimated her."

He also had to admit that if he had really fought to the death with the Purple Sky Saint, he would definitely be the one to die in the end.

Of course, this duel with the Purple Sky Saint was not to say that he gained nothing. At least it made him see many of his shortcomings in cultivation. If he could make up for them, his strength would definitely be improved to a higher level.

"After I go back this time, I will go into seclusion for a period of time. You should be careful when you walk outside. The secret realm of Kunlun Ruins is about to open, and some ancient monsters may be born early." Jiang Chengji warned seriously.

Those ancient freaks regarded the Kunlun Ruins Secret Realm as a feast. As far as he knew, in previous years when the Kunlun Ruins Secret Realm was about to open, some ancient freaks would be born in advance and look for some "appetizers" to eat outside first.

Murong Zhixiu showed the Four Symbols Square Inkstone in his hand and said disapprovingly: "With the Four Symbols Square Inkstone in my hand, who can be the appetizer?"

Gu Chi glanced at him and said, "Just because you have a replica of the Lord's Weapon doesn't mean they don't have one. In fact, what they have in their hands are not replicas, but the real Lord's Weapon."

Jiang Chengji nodded and said, "Sister Qianhe is right. It's always better to be careful."

In the end, Jiang Chengji parted ways with them and returned to his root base to practice in seclusion, waiting for the secret realm of Kunlun Ruins to open.

Gu Chi wanted to take the big black dog back to Jiusheng City for a walk, and Murong Zhixiu naturally chose to go with him.

Heavy snow fell, and the ground was covered in white. However, when approaching the Nine Holy Cities, endless lush greenery came into view, instead of the white snow and the desolate desert.

Flowers are in full bloom, colorful and beautiful, springs are gurgling, streams are flowing, and the surrounding ancient trees are lush and vines are winding, creating a vibrant scene.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Chi and his companions and Murong Zhixiu entered the Nine Holy City one after another, pretending not to know each other.

As soon as they entered the Nine Saints City, they received shocking news that the major transcendental forces of the Jiuli Dynasty were about to forcibly attack Jade Emperor Mountain.

It will not take more than ten days at the latest, and the earliest may be within these few days.

There is no doubt that there will be a huge storm, and Jade Emperor Mountain will inevitably shake the world. The road to the upper realm has attracted the attention of all parties.

The last time they came to Jiusheng City, Gu Chi and Big Black Dog ran directly to the Holy Spirit Academy to challenge the Nine-Level Mountain and River Steps, and did not have a good time strolling around the city. Now that they came back again, they walked very slowly, appreciating everything along the way.

Soon, they came to a quiet place, which looked like a Taoist temple. It was not very grand, but it covered a very large area. There were many ancient trees planted around it, and it was lush and green.

This is a very special place, as if there is some kind of aura of a great road flowing through it. Although there are a lot of people coming in and out, it seems quiet and peaceful, not noisy at all.

"Fellow Daoist, what is this place? How come there is such a Taoist temple in Jiusheng City?" Gu Chi stopped a passerby and asked.

"You don't even know where this place is. Are you new to Nine Saints City?"

Gu Chi scratched his head and said, "I've been here once before, but I didn't know much."

The greasy-faced fat man chuckled and said, "This is a branch of Yuheng Academy. Their Saintess has been appearing frequently lately and is stationed here. If you want to catch a glimpse of her beauty, don't miss the opportunity."

Gu Chi looked puzzled and asked, "That being said, why are you smiling so obscenely, fellow Daoist?"

"Hehe... Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but it's been quite lively here lately. Some geniuses have appeared out of nowhere, claiming they want to take the Yuheng Saint Girl back home to warm her bed."

"They want to take the Saintess of Yuheng Academy back home to warm their bed? Did they really say that?" Gu Chi was shocked and asked quickly, "Who are those people who dare to provoke Yuheng Academy like this?"

"I'm not sure, but they seem to have a strong backer. Even the Grand Elder of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace couldn't intimidate them. They just showed a red jade token, and the old guys from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace were scared away."

"The Supreme Elder of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace was unable to calm them down and was instead scared away?" Gu Chi opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

"Who cares? It has nothing to do with us anyway." The fat Taoist priest with a greasy face waved his hand and said, "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look together."
