Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 416: The Sad Ancient Sage (Part 1)

Who could have imagined that such a dazzling and radiant cauldron, entirely made of blue wood and blue iron, could very likely contain the heads of seven ancient saints?

What exactly happened back then, and who created this "masterpiece"?

The top of this huge tripod was tightly covered and covered with many talisman papers with magical runes inscribed on them, but there were still wisps of auspicious and divine clouds accompanied by bursts of black smoke and gray fog seeping out from it, which was daunting.

Gu Chi circled around the cauldron, and the cracks on its surface seemed to be oozing black mist.

Cangmu Qingtie is a supreme divine material that can be compared with the golden silk of autumn silkworms. It is indestructible. Are these cracks caused by human attacks, or is it because the things sealed inside are too strong and cannot withstand the pressure?

Gu Chi stood in front of the cauldron and thought silently. She couldn't imagine what terrible consequences would be caused if the cauldron was really broken.

"Girl, break the seal... and I will grant you immortal godhood..."

At this moment, a vague and weak wave was heard, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a telepathic message or a real voice.

Gu Chi shuddered violently, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

Being in such a dead place full of weirdness and ominousness, and hearing such an inexplicable call, it would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

There was a demonic power spreading from the ancient cauldron. Even though Gu Chi used the mental method in the "Qingming Sutra" to try his best to stabilize his mind, he was still greatly affected. He was uneasy and his whole body could not help shaking.

She quickly retreated hundreds of meters. Just at that moment, her soul and mind were inexplicably pulled, and were about to leave her body and sink into the big cauldron!

"Immortal Godhead... Eternal Life... Everlasting..."

The erratic voice seemed to come from the depths of her heart, carrying an irresistible coldness and majesty.

"Fuck you, get out of here!"

"Immortal godhood, immortality, I don't care. If you keep playing tricks on me, I'll crush you to death with my coffin!"

Gu Chi cursed loudly, staggered backwards, and bit his lips hard.

She was horrified. It was just a slight fluctuation that was so weak that it couldn't be weaker, but it could exert such terrible pressure on her spirit.

"Buzz!"

The cracked cauldron began to shake gently, emitting a bright divine light, accompanied by a large amount of mist filled with weirdness and ominousness, and the demonic voice disappeared and never appeared again.

Gu Chi let out a long sigh. Her lips were bitten and her mouth was full of blood, staining her collar red.

"Many thousands of years have passed, yet this immortal will still exists within the cauldron..."

Gu Chi was horrified. Was this the will of the saints' heads in the cauldron, or some other unknown existence?

Suddenly, Gu Chi felt a warmth, and the surrounding scenery gradually became peaceful. A soft holy light spread out, like starlight and moonlight.

Although compared to the entire ancient land, it looks like a candlelight in a rainy night, it is very weak and may go out at any time.

But it is enough to reflect everything around the pond, dispel all the dead air and ominousness around it, and form a pure land that can bring people a sense of security.

All of this was caused by Gu Chi's innate vision, which manifested itself at this time, like a bright fairy mirror, reflecting everything here.

It clearly reflected all the surrounding scenery and traces of battles left over from ancient times, and then circled around the large tripod made of blue wood and blue iron, revealing some previously invisible details.

"boom--!"

There was a dull roar, and for some unknown reason, this vast and boundless land of mountains and rivers suddenly began to shake violently.

To be more precise, it was the entire ancient bronze temple that was shaking violently.

Gu Chi's innate vision, the bright and holy moon like a fairy mirror also trembled. After circling around the big cauldron, it turned into a stream of light and flew back, re-immersing itself in Gu Chi's body.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, from behind the towering mountains, there were bursts of vague howling sounds, which made Gu Chi's scalp numb and her whole body tremble uncontrollably, as if there was a fierce ghost blowing cold air on her neck from behind!

"This commotion... could there be some greater terror behind those mountains?"

Gu Chi really wanted to turn around and leave, but he had just circled the entire ancient bronze temple and couldn't find a way out. If he went out, he would just sit there and wait to die.

She hadn't explored much of the secret inner realm of the Bronze Palace, so there was still a slight chance that she could find a way to leave.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Chi chose to continue exploring this dead place.

The mountain range was majestic and vast, and impossible to climb, so she chose to take a detour and move forward.

This ancient land is extremely vast. The deeper you explore, the more corpses you see along the way. Various broken and decayed spiritual weapons and magic tools are scattered everywhere.

I don’t know how long I walked, but Gu Chi felt like he had reached the end of the world. At the end of the horizon, the road there was cut off, blocked by a terrifying abyss of chaotic fog. He had already reached the end.

And the howling sound heard earlier seemed to come from under the abyss.

She had a feeling that the source of all the strange and ominous auras was also beneath that abyss.

It seemed to be able to devour everything. Just by staring at it, Gu Chi immediately felt cold from head to toe. The fear that was almost desperate once again rushed from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head.

She was cautious and used the peeping technique to take a peek. Her pupils contracted as she saw an extremely horrifying scene. Her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, her face turning pale.

Above the abyss, there was a figure sitting cross-legged silently!

The man was tall and strong, but his hair and Taoist robes were stained with large stains of blood. He sat there motionless.

“It’s… him!”

Gu Chilian's voice trembled. She had seen that person in the scene presented by the altar not long ago. He was one of the seven ancient saints guarding a huge border city to resist foreign enemies.

"He is actually here..." Gu Chi's heart was shocked.

The ancient sage seemed to be petrified, without any sign of life, and he did not move at all. Where he was sitting cross-legged, there was an ancient and complex pattern that extended far away, interweaving into a web, blocking the entire abyss.

He sat quietly above, suppressing some unimaginable terror.

Facing an ancient saint of the human race, the fear in Gu Chi's heart also subsided for the most part. She endured the severe pain that her soul was about to be destroyed, and used the method of peeping into the void to stare carefully at the front.

The ancient sage's body was covered in wounds. A black short spear had pierced his chest deeply and exited from his back, and a black arrow had pierced his shoulder blade deeply...
