Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"Friend Gu, this kind of thing is not a joke. If things go wrong, someone could die!" Xiao Mingrui wiped the sweat from his forehead and tried to dissuade him.

"We'll know whether it works or not after giving it a try." Gu Chi said this, but to be on the safe side, she let the big black dog spit out all the golden silk of the autumn silkworms in its stomach first and watched from the side.

If it really doesn't work, then she won't let the big black dog suffer with her.

If it works, she can also summarize her successful experience to Big Black Dog after she succeeds.

"Well, just give it a try first. My fellow Daoist Dog and I will be by your side to protect you."

Xiao Mingrui set up a magic circle to isolate and seal off the place to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in and affecting Gu Chi.

He and the big black dog retreated outside the formation, each guarding one side to protect Gu Chi.

At this moment, a blazing golden light illuminated the stone cliff where Gu Chi was, from the inside out, as if a scorching sun was rising and falling there.

She used the mysterious method to guide the golden silk of the autumn silkworm to circulate within her body, tempering her limbs and bones, just like refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After all, it was his first attempt, so Gu Chi only released a small wisp and didn't dare to release it all.

She controlled it carefully, mobilizing all her magic power to wrap the strand of golden silk from the autumn silkworm. It was as if a warm current was flowing through it, very gently, and no abnormal changes occurred.

After repeated attempts, Gu Chi felt that he could start trying to strengthen his limbs and bones.

She guided the golden silk thread of the autumn silkworm to the arm bone of her left hand and tempered it with magic power.

It would have been fine if she hadn't tried it, but as soon as she tried it, something terrible happened. The strand of golden silk from the autumn silkworm suddenly became agitated, and the movement caused her entire arm bone to shatter with a snap!

The severe pain made her scream in pain and it took her a long time to recover.

She took a few deep breaths and looked inward again. The entire arm bone of her left hand was almost completely shattered and merged with the golden silk of the autumn silkworm.

"So fierce?"

Gu Chi sucked in a breath of cold air, horrified in his heart. Even with a 20-point bonus to the [Strength] attribute, his physique couldn't withstand even a tiny strand of restless golden silk from the autumn silkworm. This thing was truly terrifying.

"It's better to break it. If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. If it breaks, I'll recast it!" Gu Chi gritted his teeth and whispered, his mind completely immersed in the world within his body. He mobilized the magic power around his body and carefully squeezed the broken bones.

What she had to do now was not to continue breaking the bones, but to crush the entire arm bone more thoroughly and completely so that it could be completely integrated with the strand of golden silk from the autumn silkworm.

The golden silk of the autumn silkworm is like moonlight and sunlight, bright and dazzling. Under Gu Chi's control, it continues to merge with the broken Gu, and gradually they become indistinguishable from each other, becoming a ray of golden light.

Gu Chi was not in a hurry to forge the bones. In order to allow the two to completely merge, he mobilized his magic power to continuously forge the golden silk of the autumn silkworm.

This is destined to be an extremely long and painful process, which is completely self-torture.

It was not until seven days later that she finally completed the process. The entire arm bone of her left hand was golden, with several strands of golden light as thin as hair flowing around it.

"The danger does exist, but it is still within the controllable range." Gu Chi's heart was filled with joy, proving that this method was indeed feasible.

Next, she gradually released her hands and feet, and guided three strands of golden silk from the Autumn Silkworm to the arm bone of her right hand in one breath, completely crushing the entire arm bone, re-hammering it, and repeating the previous process.

A full half month passed, and the golden light here did not dissipate. Instead, it became even more blazing and dazzling, painting half of the sky golden.

On this day, Gu Chi completely let go and allowed all the golden silk of the autumn silkworms to flow to his limbs and bones, in order to speed up the process of this transformation.

"boom!"

The overwhelming golden light flooded the entire area, and strands of golden silk from the autumn silkworms all went into riot. This was a terrible event that was seriously beyond Gu Chi's control.

"what--!"

A heart-wrenching howl was heard. Gu Chi's limbs and every inch of flesh were shattered, as if she was thrown into a meat grinder, making her howl loudly in pain.

"Sister Gu Chi!" The big black dog Bi Shio, who had been guarding in the distance, heard the screams and became very anxious. He wanted to break through the formation by force.

The world within the magic circle was completely submerged in the blazing golden light. It couldn't see what was happening inside, but it knew that Gu Chi must be in great pain at this moment!

"Woof woof woof! Quickly break this broken formation!" The big black dog barked at Xiao Mingrui.

"Old Black! Don't come in!" Gu Chi gritted her teeth and yelled, asking the big black dog and Xiao Mingrui to quickly move away from this area. All the golden silkworms of autumn were raging and rioting at the same time, which was completely beyond her control.

"Hurry up! I can't hold it anymore!" Gu Chi roared. Xiao Mingrui hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed the big black dog and flew into the sky on his sword.

The next moment, the heaven and earth shook, and strands of golden silk from autumn silkworms pierced through Gu Chi's flesh and blood, flying out from all parts of her body.

A terrifying energy wave swept across the heaven and earth, obliterating all tangible objects. All the mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles were razed to the ground in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

"Give me the town!"

Gu Chi roared, and the Five Mountains and Four Rivers appeared out of nowhere to suppress the turbulent world, but the effect was very little.

Gu Chi didn't stop. If one mountain and river seal couldn't suppress it, then twenty would do it! If twenty wasn't enough, then fifty would do it!

Majestic and towering sacred mountains and endless rivers, a total of fifty mountain and river seals filled the sky.

It is not to suppress this world, nor to suppress the rebellious golden silkworms, but to suppress herself!

Suppress your own soul, so that even if your physical body is completely destroyed, you can at least retain a glimmer of hope and not die completely.

The heart-wrenching screams resounded throughout the world and echoed among the mountains. No one could imagine what kind of torture and pain Gu Chi was going through at this moment.

In the blazing golden light, Gu Chi's body was almost completely destroyed, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and everything around him began to become dim and dull.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a purple moon appeared and suppressed everything. The violent and agitated strands of golden silk of the autumn silkworms seemed to be appeased and gradually became gentle.

In that holy and flawless purple moon, there was a vague silhouette sitting cross-legged. It looked very ethereal and unreal, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time. It was Gu Chi's soul.

The cold moonlight was like ripples on the water, spreading out in all directions and drawing in the essence from all directions to reshape Gu Chi's body, from his limbs to every inch of flesh and blood, and then to every inch of skin, allowing him to be reborn from destruction.

I guess this is what the so-called "rebirth" means.

In the overwhelming golden light, a holy and flawless purple moon lies there quietly, exuding a vague and ethereal aura.

Gu Chi's soul was sitting cross-legged in it, and his body was being reshaped. Every inch of flesh and bone was completely integrated with the golden silk of the autumn silkworm, and they were indistinguishable from each other.

There were bursts of "clanging sounds" echoing through heaven and earth, as if someone was hammering and forging a magical weapon.
