Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

The altar was also covered with very complicated Taoist patterns. The big black dog combed them carefully. If nothing unexpected happened, the next stop should be the retreat place of the Holy Son of the Temple of the God of War.

On the other side, when Gu Chi was exploring this ancient cave, he unexpectedly discovered a treasure trove. As soon as it was opened, all kinds of light swept out like waves.

"God damn it, I'm rich, Old Black!"

Inside the treasury, all kinds of natural treasures were piled up into small hills, all of which were blooming with brilliant light, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.

Gu Chi was pleasantly surprised. All of them were extremely rare divine materials in the outside world. In addition, there was a bunch of ancient medicines sealed in the jade jar. The number was astonishing. There were as many as fifteen medicinal kings that were more than 30,000 years old. Even though they were sealed in the jade jar, they still had a strong fragrance.

"These should all have been collected by those people in the Martial God Temple. It's impossible for the Martial God Temple's Saint Son to use them all at once, so they stored them here."

Gu Chi speculated that this was undoubtedly a great harvest. If it was taken out of Kunlun Ruins and auctioned, it would definitely fetch a huge fortune.

Of course, no matter how short of money Gu Chi was, he would never put these things up for auction, because these magical materials were too difficult to find in the outside world and could be of great use at critical moments.

She gave some materials that could be used for setting up formations and refining equipment to the big black dog, and as for the ancient medicines and other things sealed in bottles and jars, she put them separately into her own Heaven-Swallowing Bag.

After confirming that there was nothing else in the ancient cave, Gu Chi came to the altar and asked softly, "How is it going? Are there any clues?"

"These Dao patterns are very ancient. With the current level of people's Dao, I guess not many people can lay them out." The big black dog said this. It believed that these Dao patterns might have been created by those living fossil-level figures in the Temple of the God of War.

"Can you crack it?" Gu Chi asked.

"It's a bit difficult." The big black dog did not hide the fact that his attainments in formations and restrictions were comparable to those of a grandmaster, but faced with these Dao patterns in front of him, he was not entirely sure that he could crack them.

"It doesn't matter. At worst, we can just walk every road. I don't believe we can't find his hiding place." Gu Chi said this so that the big black dog would not feel too much pressure.

After a long time, the big black dog finally deduced the approximate coordinates. Although there may be deviations, it is unlikely to be too far off.

"Then let's get going quickly, do the work as soon as possible and disperse early, so as to avoid any more trouble at night." Gu Chi was already prepared and adjusted his energy and spirit to the best state.

"We can't use this altar. There are many Taoist patterns on it that I can't see through. If the Holy Son of the Temple of Martial God has any backup plan, we may be in great danger." The big black dog said seriously.

Hearing this, Gu Chi couldn't help but be shocked. He had never thought of this.

Gu Chi reached out and touched the big black dog's head, chuckling softly, "Old Black, you've really thought it through. I was only thinking about killing the Holy Son of the Martial God Temple as soon as possible, and I didn't even consider this. I almost jumped into the fire pit with you."

The big black dog used the various rare and magical materials he had just obtained in this ancient cave to rearrange a teleportation array.

A man and a dog stepped onto the platform, and a misty secret passage in space appeared before them.

The passage was filled with colorful lights. The big black dog placed the black gold coffin across the front, and Gu Chi also held up his innate vision.

The bright moon hung in the sky, holy and ethereal, and the moonlight was like water, forming a special spatial area that completely enveloped them and their dog.

When they came out of the secret passage in space, what came into their eyes was a deep mountain jungle with a primitive appearance, which was not as sacred and beautiful as they had imagined.

"It won't be too far away. His retreat must be in this small world." The big black dog said with certainty.

They concealed all their breath and began to search in the mountains and forests to find the retreat place of the Holy Son of the Temple of the God of War.

When they groped their way to the depths of a mountain range, they discovered that there were many snakes, insects, and ferocious beasts living there, and many of them had become spirits, either lurking among the rocks or hiding among the grass and trees, facing the sky and absorbing the light of the sun, moon, and stars.

When we got here, it was already dark. It wasn't normal darkness, but a thick poisonous fog obscured the sky, preventing the sunlight from shining through.

The further they went in, the lower the visibility became. What shocked Gu Chi was that the poisonous fog here could actually corrode the protective light curtain that she and the big black dog had erected with their magic power.

Gu Chi muttered, "The snakes, scorpions and venomous insects here are all extremely poisonous. The poison gas they emit alone is enough to corrode our magic power. If we get bitten by one, we don't know if we can cure it."

The big black dog was frightened and asked, "How could there be so many poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions living here? Sister Gu Chi, do you think there might be some kind of insect emperor or king here?"

Hearing this, Gu Chi couldn't help but frowned and said, "It's very likely. Be careful."

They did not stay here for too long. They each used the golden silk of the autumn silkworm to protect themselves, resist the attacks of various poisonous insects, and flew through the air at full speed.

When they passed through a valley, they looked down and found that the area below was densely packed with poisonous scorpions. All the surrounding vegetation had been corroded by the poisonous gas and turned into a thick dark green liquid. Even large areas of rock and soil had been corroded away and mixed with the sticky liquid, making it look extremely muddy and dirty.

There are also other valleys and gullies that are also densely packed with poisonous snakes and giant pythons. The smallest ones are nearly two meters long and they move in a winding manner, which makes people's scalps tingle.

Between the mountains farther away, there is a huge and crystal-clear spider web hanging. Those colorful poisonous spiders are generally as big as calves, which is intimidating.

"Something's wrong." Even Gu Chi was terrified. Aren't there too many snakes, scorpions, and venomous insects in this place? They're practically everywhere, and their overall strength isn't weak, at the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

This is unreasonable. So many snakes, scorpions and poisonous insects gather here, but they all live in peace with each other. Could it be that there really is an Insect Emperor or Insect King leading them?

"Sister Gu Chi, look there!" The big black dog couldn't help but exclaimed, motioning Gu Chi to look in a certain direction.

Gu Chi turned around and looked to the east, and found that in the thick poisonous fog, there was a ball of light shining, like a bright moon about to break through the clouds.

Her eyes shone with purple light, and she used the method of peeping into the void from the Qingming Sutra. She could see through the reality and illusion and saw the real scene. Then a look of shock appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but gasp.

There is a stone mountain there, about several dozen feet high. It is not very high, but the mountain is very thick and wide, and it looks majestic. At the top of the mountain, it is like a huge Taoist platform standing there. You can feel the majestic aura coming towards you from a long distance away.

On one side of the Taoist platform, there is an ancient tree, surrounded by thousands of rays of light and divine rainbows. Every leaf is shining like a star, emitting a sacred glow.

It goes without saying that it must be a sacred tree, and a very ancient one. Its trunk is very thick and red in color, and pieces of bark are like open dragon scales. At first glance, it looks like a winding red dragon, as if it may soar into the sky at any time.
