Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

However, the big black dog was also dumbfounded at this moment, almost unable to believe his eyes. He pointed behind Gu Chi with his paw and said, "Sister Gu Chi... look behind you!"

Gu Chi looked back and the next moment he let out a strange cry, jumped up on the spot, felt his scalp tingling, and quickly retreated.

Just ahead, a rotten corpse lay there quietly, and the stench of the long-rotten corpse was blown far away by the wind.

"vomit!"

Gu Chi couldn't hold it in any longer, his face turned pale and he started vomiting on the spot.

"Lao Hei, where did this dead man come from?" Gu Chi turned his head to look at the big black dog, feeling a chill in his heart. In the middle of the night, he was inexplicably hit by a dead body in the wilderness. Anyone who encountered such a situation would be scared.

The big black dog was also scared and its fur stood on end. It didn't notice how the dead body appeared.

They kept looking outside. The ruins were full of collapsed walls and broken buildings. There was no sound around. It was terrifyingly quiet.

"Is there something dirty?"

The sky was getting darker, the stars were dimming, and there was a faint mist swirling around.

"Lao Hei... why do I feel colder and colder... are you cold?" Gu Chi swallowed, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he felt cold all over.

"Sister Gu Chi, let's leave here quickly." The big black dog felt very uneasy. He thought this place was very evil and it was not suitable to stay here for long.

"boom"

However, just as Gu Chi took a step forward, she was knocked to the ground again. She got up from the ground and turned her head to find another corpse with a hideous face and a miserable death beside her.

"Who! Who on earth is so shameless as to leave a body lying around..."

This joke was not funny at all. Gu Chi felt cold all over and had goose bumps all over his body. The big black dog's hair stood up all over his body and he looked around nervously.

Two badly decayed corpses lay on the ground, and one could even see the white maggots wriggling in the rotten flesh and blood. It was extremely disgusting.

Gu Chi's stomach was churning and he felt like he was about to vomit bile.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" The big black dog barked wildly in all directions, but with a "bang", another dead body appeared and knocked Gu Chi's small body far away, with a mouthful of sand in his mouth.

"Bah! Your grandma's leg, it's never-ending, right?" Gu Chi was terrified and a little indignant at the same time. Why was the big black dog not hit once when it was right next to him!

"Who is playing tricks on me? Come out and fight me if you dare!" Gu Chi yelled angrily.

"boom"

Suddenly, a huge earthquake occurred in this ancient ruin, and Gu Chi was blown away. The big black dog was also in a terrible state. It rolled on the ground for dozens of times until it hit a stone pillar and stopped, howling miserably.

"Bang", "bang", "bang"...

This time, not only Gu Chi, but also the big black dog was hit repeatedly.

Corpses began to rain from the sky, with one dead body after another falling from the sky.

"Fuck you!"

"Woof! Woof! Aa ...

Gu Chi and the big black dog ran away with their heads in their hands. They had never seen such a scene before and were almost scared to death!

Half a minute later, the man and the dog hugged each other and looked at the dozen or so rotting corpses on the ground. They felt that the surrounding environment became gloomy. A faint low howl sounded in their ears, which made them shudder and couldn't help shivering.

"What on earth is going on..." Gu Chi cried, not knowing why all this happened.

Suddenly, Gu Chi felt the hairs on her back stand up, as if something was staring at her and approaching quickly!

"Oh my god—run!"

Gu Chi screamed, picked up the big black dog and ran away. When he was about to hit a stone pillar, he quickly moved sideways to avoid it. The whole process was as fast as lightning.

"brush"

Two green rays of light passed by her and hovered dozens of meters away, like two ghost lanterns, swaying and dancing in the cold night, which was indescribably creepy.

At the same time, a dark cloud covered the crescent moon, making the ruins instantly dark as ink. It was almost pitch black and nothing could be seen.

"Oh my god, it's haunted!" Both the man and the dog were scared.

At this moment, apart from the two green lights, nothing else can be seen.

The two balls of green light were as big as washbasins, like two ghost lanterns, or a pair of eyes, swaying in the darkness, appearing eerie and sinister.

"brush"

This time, the two balls of green light were very fast and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Gu Chi screamed, holding the big black dog and running wildly, stimulating the potential of his whole body as if his butt was on fire, showing an unprecedented speed.

In the darkness, she stumbled and crawled forward, not knowing how long or how far she had run. It was not until the moonlit sky became clear that she realized she had reached the deepest part of the mountain range.

"Huh! Huh! Huh! They shouldn't have caught up with me, right?" Gu Chi turned around and did not see any trace of the two ghost lights. He collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

"Sister Gu Chi, what on earth is that thing?" The big black dog asked weakly, still in shock.

Gu Chida lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently, gasping for breath and saying, "How would I know, but one thing is for sure, that girl is definitely not a good person!"

By late night, the man and the dog had no idea how far they had walked. Every once in a while, a dull and powerful sound came from the depths of the mountains.

Every time that sound rang out, it felt like it was beating on one's heart, making Gu Chi feel very uneasy.

Slowly, the surrounding trees began to become sparse, replaced by more and more dilapidated ancient buildings, and the spiritual energy became more and more rich. Although there were few plants and trees, it gave people a feeling of vitality.

"Om..."

There was another dull sound, as if someone was beating an ancient war drum, which made people's hearts stop for half a second. Gu Chi took the big black dog to a high mountain and looked forward.

The so-called "deepest part" is just ahead, with densely packed ancient buildings. Although they have collapsed into ruins under the erosion of time, one can still imagine the grandeur of this place in the past.

In the center of the endless ancient building complex, there stands a majestic ancient city. No one knows how many years have passed, but it is still like an emperor sitting on a dragon throne, and the overall condition is very well preserved.

From a distance, it looks like an emperor sitting on a dragon throne accepting the worship of thousands of subjects.

At this moment, no one knew what was happening there. Flames shot up into the sky, lighting up half the sky.

"That's... a hanging palace?!"

Gu Chi exclaimed, rubbed his eyes and looked forward again. In the center of the ancient city, there was a magnificent palace surrounded by red clouds and as bright as flowing blood, floating in the air!

"Om-"

The dull sound was heard again, and the source of this strange sound actually came from the giant palace floating in the air.

The rosy glow made every brick and tile look as crystal clear as red jade. Even from a long distance away, one could feel the ancient and vicissitudes of time flowing through it.

"Sister Gu Chi, there's someone!"

The big black dog had good eyesight and saw the figure of a cultivator among the dilapidated buildings outside the ancient city.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a blue Taoist robe. There were arcs of electricity swirling around his body. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

Of course, he was not the only living person here. Among the other ruined buildings, there were more than 20 powerful men with extraordinary cultivation. Judging from their clothes, they did not seem to be from the same sect.

"What are these immortal cultivators doing here in the middle of the night, not sleeping? Is there some incredible opportunity about to happen?" Gu Chi narrowed his eyes and lay on the top of the mountain with the big black dog, observing curiously.

The ruined buildings surrounded an ancient city. There were also figures standing next to the magnificent palace floating in the air in the center of the ancient city. They were all elders with white hair and beards.

All the powerful men stared at the suspended palace nervously. The divine light was flickering, as if the power of time was flowing, making people feel an ancient and vicissitudes of life.

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"

There were three more muffled sounds in succession, with a very short interval between them. The light of the suspended palace became brighter, and blazing divine rays swept up to the sky, turning the night into day. A majestic breath of life emanated from the palace.

Around them, dozens of elders were shining with precious light and stepped forward at the same time.

Many powerful men on the periphery also began to take action, staring at the palace with fiery eyes.

"What does this mean, fellow Daoist from the Lihuo Sect? Coming to our Qingxuan Cave Heaven's territory to fight for the immortal treasure, are you trying to stir up trouble?"

As they approached the ancient city, a strong man shouted coldly.

"This was originally an ancient battlefield in the ancient times. You, Qingxuan Dongtian, are just latecomers. Now that a valuable treasure has appeared, it is natural for us to come here to seek opportunities. What's wrong with that?" Someone retorted.

It is obvious that these are people from two different sects, one from Qingxuan Dongtian and the other from Lihuo Sect.

"Qingxuan Cave Heaven... Isn't this the sect where Situ Luo is?" Gu Chi whispered to himself, remembering that when he met Situ Luo before, he had heard them mention this sect.

What she didn't expect was that this mountain range stretching for nearly 700 miles was actually within the jurisdiction of Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

"I, Qingxuan Dongtian, have taken root here, so I will not tolerate you, the rogues, coming here to steal our treasures!" The expert from Qingxuan Dongtian shouted coldly, "If you don't retreat, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The people of the Lihuo Sect were not afraid. One of them, a man with sword-like eyebrows, stepped out and said, "Qingxuan Dongtian is not even the master of this place. What qualifications does he have to drive us away?"

He spoke calmly, but his tone exuded a captivating aura.

"Yes, as far as I know, this place was the capital of an ancient country seven hundred years ago. At that time, the founder of your Qingxuan Dongtian sect had not yet been born!"

"Whether it's an ancient battlefield from ancient times or the capital of a fallen ancient country seven hundred years ago, everything here has nothing to do with your Qingxuan Cave Heaven!"

Other powerful men from the Lihuo Sect spoke in agreement one after another and refused to retreat.

Both sides held their own views and refused to give in to each other. The air was filled with gunpowder, as if a small spark could ignite it.

"buzz"

From time to time, dull sounds were heard in the suspended palace, carrying with them an indescribable sense of oppression. At such a close distance, even these powerful warriors with extraordinary cultivation could not bear it and their faces looked unhappy.

The crimson glowed blazingly bright, its scarlet color unusually alluring, like fresh blood. An elder from the Lihuo Sect was about to step forward, but was stopped by another old man beside him. He said, "We've already waited for so many days, why rush now? Let it break the seal on its own. Don't interfere, or you'll cause more trouble."

"Qingyun Totem! Look, it's the Qingyun Totem unique to our Qingxuan Cave Heaven!" At this moment, an elder of Qingxuan Cave Heaven suddenly shouted excitedly.

In the sky, the giant palace made entirely of red jade was covered with crystal red clouds. On the several dragon-coiled pillars in front, there appeared magical auspicious cloud patterns, which were the unique blue cloud totems of Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

"People from the Lihuo Sect! What else do you have to say? Leave immediately. This was left behind by an ancient sage from my Qingxuan Cave Heaven. It has nothing to do with you!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy headmaster of the Lihuo Sect's expression changed. He then stared at the suspended palace carefully. Finally, as if remembering something, an extremely excited expression appeared on his old face. He said, "I know. This is the burial place of the third-generation headmaster of Qingxuan Cave Heaven—Ziyun Zhenren!"

Everyone in Qingxuan Cave Heaven was stunned when they heard this. They all stared at the ancient palace suspended in the air with flowing red clouds, carefully observing the details in shock and doubt.

One of them said in a trembling voice, "These Qingyun totems all have a hint of strange Dao rhyme, which fits the description of the third-generation leader in the sect's secret scroll very well!"

The third generation leader of Qingxuan Cave Heaven is not a human, but a wolf demon who has attained enlightenment and transformed into a human!

It is disgraceful in any way for a demon to take the position of the leader of a human immortal sect. Therefore, Qingxuan Dongtian regards the history of Ziyun Zhenren's rule as a taboo, only recording it in the secret scroll, and not mentioning it in the sect's official history.

Now, except for a few senior people in Qingxuan Dongtian and old antiques from several other major sects, the younger generation basically does not know these secrets.

No one would have thought that this suspended palace made entirely of crimson divine jade was actually the burial place of Ziyun Zhenren, the third-generation leader of Qingxuan Cave Heaven. It was hidden deep under the ruins and only saw the light of day today when the seal was loosened.

"That's right, this is where True Man Ziyun was buried!" The deputy leader of the Lihuo Sect kept muttering to himself, looking a little dazed.

Everyone in Qingxuan Dongtian immediately became confident and righteous. An elder said in a deep voice, "What else do you have to say now? This is the burial place of the third-generation leader of Qingxuan Dongtian. It has nothing to do with your Lihuo Sect. Why don't you retreat immediately!"

Even though they were somewhat opposed to the fact that the third-generation leader was a demon, they had to admit that the reason why Qingxuan Dongtian was able to be among the six major sects of Qian Country was all due to the efforts of the third-generation leader.

The Lihuo Sect's deputy leader came to his senses and said, "Although this is the burial place of Ziyun Zhenren, it also contains our Lihuo Sect's most precious treasure. Today is the time to claim it back!"
