Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Everyone present was trembling with fear. Many people involuntarily lowered their bodies to their knees, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

"Here I come!" Xiyue was excited and was the first to soar into the sky.

Seeing this, the other monks who could still move also set off and followed in one direction, wanting to see who was causing the unusual movement.

"Why are they all leaving? Is the party canceled?" Gu Chi was a little confused. She knew it was a grand event, and she came here on an empty stomach on purpose. But after all the fuss, she didn't even get a bite to eat. What was going on?

"Damn, we might have been tricked!"

Murong Zhixiu seemed to realize something belatedly and said, "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Liuli Chen Palace has a close relationship with the Ninth Princess. This so-called banquet was most likely organized by her in the Ninth Princess's name to gather us together."

Gu Chi said: "Isn't this unlikely?"

Murong Zhixiu said, "The Ninth Princess hasn't even shown up yet. I don't think she even came. Li Yue has fooled us!"

Gu Chi was puzzled: "But what exactly is she trying to achieve by doing this? She went through so much trouble to trick us here, it can't be just for fun, right?"

"Who knows what she's up to? Just follow her and see for yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, Murong Zhixiu turned into a long rainbow and chased after him.

Gu Chi turned his head to look at the group of people still kneeling on the ground and said, "Is there really no food here?"

Not getting an answer, Gu Chi couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "I thought we could all have a quick meal, but this Liuli Chen Palace's eldest lady is really unrefined!"

……

Deep in this royal manor, a man stood alone on a cliff with a sad expression, muttering to himself facing a lonely grave, as if praying.

Occasionally, he would lose control of his emotions and burst into tears. His crying would shock many young heroes present and make them tremble physically and mentally, some of them unable to bear it.

"Grandpa, my great-aunt has long been asleep. If her spirit is still in heaven, she would definitely hope that you can be happy and live well..." Xiyue stood at the front of the crowd, stepping forward cautiously, without the previous publicity and liveliness.

"Ancestor? Is that person an ancestor of Liuli Chen Palace?!"

Everyone present was shocked.

"It's rumored that there's an ancient freak in the Liuli Chen Palace named Qi Sui. Could this be him?"

The man on the cliff ahead was also in the Jindan stage, but his loud cry shocked everyone present and made them faint. It was impossible to guess how strong his fighting ability was.

Qi Sui, this name seems to have some kind of magic. Every time people say it, they will feel an invisible pressure descending on them.

"Qi Sui...the first ancient freak to return to the world..." Murong Zhixiu swallowed hard, feeling that even breathing had become a little difficult.

Silently, a hand gently rested on his shoulder, which frightened him so much that he shuddered all over. When he turned around, he found that it was Gu Chi standing behind him.

"Sister Qianhe, can you make some noise when you walk next time? It's going to scare people to death!" Murong Zhixiu patted his chest and complained speechlessly.

Gu Chi didn't respond. He just pursed his lips at the man on the cliff in front of him and said, "What's going on? Who is that man?"

Murong Zhixiu paused for a moment before whispering, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the ancient freak of Liuli Chen Palace, named Qi Sui. He has been born four times, and each time he has emerged victorious in the Tianjiao decisive battle in the Kunlun Ruins Secret Realm, winning the title of the world's number one."

Gu Chi was shocked when he heard this. An ancient freak was born so soon?

Under the bright moon, the man cried bitterly. He was dressed in green and was not strong, but rather thin and frail. His appearance was ordinary, not ugly, but not handsome either. He was the kind of passerby who could be easily overlooked in a crowd.

But such a thin and frail young man with an ordinary appearance has won the title of the best in the world in the secret realm of Kunlun Ruins. It can be seen that he is a monstrous figure who cannot be judged by appearance.

At this time, Qi Sui did not have the aura of looking down on the heroes of the world. He knelt in front of a lonely grave and cried bitterly.

Some people who knew the inside story couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh when they saw him like this.

"That lonely grave contains a woman."

Someone pointed out the truth, saying that she was Qi Sui's confidante, but because of an accident, they ended up being separated forever.

"It is said that the reason Qi Sui suppressed and sealed himself away was so that he could once again enter the Kunlun Ruins Secret Realm and search for the magical elixir that could revive the woman."

Obviously, Qi Sui failed. He entered the secret realm of Kunlun Ruins that time and fought bloody battles to the end but still couldn't find the magical medicine that could bring people back to life.

After that, he entered Kunlun Ruins for the third time. This time, he still walked on blood and bones, but he finally returned with regret.

Finally, he carried the woman's body to this cliff and buried her there, because this was also the place where they first met.

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Gu Chi sighed silently and recalled the old man Wu in the blacksmith shop.

When General Wu was dying, she and Lao Hei also tried every possible way to prolong his life. However, at that time, they were just young cultivators who had just embarked on the path of cultivation and knew nothing about anything. How could they know about any magical herbs or medicines?

Now they have collected quite a few elixirs and even some incomplete miracle medicines, but unfortunately they can never go back to the morning when Mr. Wu passed away.

Gu Chi took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, not letting himself immerse himself in sadness for too long.

At this time, Xiyue, who was standing at the front of the crowd, wanted to get closer to the cliff but was worried that this would cause the old ancestor to be disgusted. She wanted to speak up to persuade him but didn't know what to say.

However, Qi Sui had calmed down by then. He looked at Xiyue and said softly, "Your name is Xiyue, right? You don't have to call me ancestor. In terms of age, I'm actually not much older than you."

The secret realm of Kunlun Ruins opens once every three thousand years, and Qi Sui has entered it four times in total. This means he is already twelve thousand years old.

However, during the time he was sealed off, he was completely isolated and separated from this world. This meant that people of his generation were pushed forward by the passage of time, while he was in a state of stagnation.

Therefore, although he lived more than 10,000 years ago, his actual age in Taoism was only over 1,000 years old. At most, he was only a few hundred years older than Xiyue and the others. Naturally, he could not be called an ancestor.

"chi"

Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and another figure appeared on the cliff where Qi Sui was.

The man, dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, was surrounded by a dazzling light. He stood in mid-air, looking down, and said silently, "Are you Qi Sui?"

"it's me."

"Very good, I'm looking for you, come here and fight!" The man in green had a emerald green sword in his hand, pointing it downwards. Sword energy was gushing out, and there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar roaring in the sky.
