Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

The alchemy furnace condensed from the void also twisted and deformed at this time, almost melting.

At this moment, a hazy and mighty sound of chanting came from the void. Gu Chi's body shook violently, resonating with the Tao and immersed in it.

Finally, she let out a long roar, broke out of the furnace, rushed out from the endless runes of the Great Dao, and sat cross-legged in the void to comprehend the Great Dao.

The sixteen hundred flames all faded away, and the empty stone chamber was silent. She turned into a skeleton, sitting cross-legged in the void without moving, her mind wandering in the void, capturing the trajectory of the rules of the avenue as they operated.

After a long time, she fell out of the void, and like last time, she lay motionless on the ground, as lifeless as a piece of dead wood.

There was an inexplicable force of rules flowing, pulling her back from death.

This is the method of the ancient saints!

"I died again..."

Gu Chi was shocked. What kind of martial art was this? Why was the price of cultivation so high?

She now finally understood why the ancient sage had left a miraculous back-up plan in this stone chamber for seclusion. Without giving people a few more chances, it would be impossible to cultivate the technique written on the wall.

"Did the ancient saints also have to die several times when they practiced?" Gu Chi thought, but quickly shook his head to deny this guess.

What transcendent beings were the ancient sages? This technique might have been created by them, so why would one risk their life to cultivate it? The reason they left behind this incredible method, capable of bringing the dead back to life, was likely simply to protect future generations.

"I still have seven lives left, and I don't know if it will work." Gu Chi is now full of expectations for this technique. He has wasted two lives in a row and still failed to master it, which shows how amazing this technique is.

She took a few magical herbs and began to repair her injured body. After her body recovered, she once again stepped onto the Taoist platform and led the Taoist fire transformed from the rules of the Tao to refine her body.

One thousand eight hundred strands of Dao fire, one thousand nine hundred strands of Dao fire, two thousand strands of Dao fire...

The Dao fire was blazing, as if to burn the nine heavens to ashes. Gu Chi was horrified and realized the problem. Could it be that this technique required tempering oneself with the three thousand great Daos before it could be fully cultivated?

When the Dao Fire increased to more than two thousand Dao Fires, an inexplicable aura appeared and enveloped the place.

An ancient lamp appeared quietly from the void. Although it was shining brightly, it made people feel particularly gloomy and cold, with an ominous atmosphere.

It came from the void and hung directly above Gu Chi's head.

"Uhhhhhh-"

Outside the Three Emperors Palace, the nine-tailed white fox let out a strange cry and discovered that the color of the green lamp in front of it had changed. It was flashing with black light and filled with black smoke, looking eerie.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" The big black dog ran over hurriedly carrying the black gold coffin.

"The color of the light has changed!" The nine-tailed white fox was surprised.

This is so weird. If the light is still on, it means the person inside is still alive. If the light is off, it means the person is dead. But the light suddenly turns black. What does this mean?

The nine-tailed white fox had been in this medicine garden for so long, but this was the first time it encountered such a situation, and it was a little confused for a moment.

"We can't wait like this any longer, we must find a way to get in!" The big black dog paced back and forth anxiously.

In the Three Emperors Hall, there was also a black ancient lamp swaying, filled with a gray mist that came from the depths of the void and submerged the place.

Gu Chi was surprised. Could this also be a step in practicing magical skills?

"No, this is an accident!"

She soon realized that something was wrong, because the scriptures on the wall did not mention such a situation. This ancient lamp that exuded a weird and ominous aura was completely a sudden incident!

Gu Chi could sense that there was a mysterious power enveloping this place.

In the gray mist, a figure walked out silently. There was no sense of life, and it stood there like a demonic mountain.

"You are……"

Before Gu Chi could ask, the figure came up and attacked fiercely, terrifyingly!

This creature was holding a halberd in his hand, like a ghost general from the underworld. He was full of momentum and rushed over like a flood bursting through a dam, and slashed towards Gu Chi with the halberd in his hand.

This creature was shrouded in gray mist, and its true appearance could not be seen. Only a pair of eyes were vaguely visible, which were deathly gray and emitted a cold light.

"when!"

Gu Chiji made a mistake and Yu Qie collided with him head-on, and his arms were immediately numb and in great pain.

There were sparks flying everywhere, as if lightning was roaring!

"So strong!"

Gu Chi's face changed color. The power of this creature was so overbearing that even a body as strong as hers was at a disadvantage in the collision just now.

"Dangdangdang..."

Before she could think too much, the creature that looked like a ghost general from the underworld came again swinging its halberd and killed her. Gu Chi was forced to fight against it.

Divine light shot up into the sky, and the two weapons collided with each other. The clanging sound of metal was like thunder, shaking the stone chamber.

"Its combat power is not much higher than mine. This can't be a test, right?" Gu Chi whispered, and found that the combat power of this creature was not much stronger than hers, and was almost at the same level as her.

"There's more?!" Gu Chi's heart was shaken. Her spiritual perception was so sharp that she noticed the slight footsteps coming from behind her.

In the gray mist, a pair of cold and gloomy eyes appeared.

The man who came was also holding a halberd in his hand. Without saying a word, he came straight towards us to kill us.

"boom!"

This creature's combat power is at a similar level to Gu Chi's, and is not so powerful that it cannot be fought against.

This creature came up with a sweeping move, trying to cut off Gu Chi's torso with its sharp halberd blade.

This was a difficult and hard battle. When a single creature appeared, its combat power was already equal to Gu Chi's, and it was difficult to tell who was better. Now another one came, which was a bit unreasonable.

Gu Chi regarded this battle as the final test, and fought to the death with the two creatures. After all, she still had seven lives here, and there was still a chance of resurrection if she died, so there was nothing to worry about.

The stone chamber was boiling instantly. The sound of metal colliding was deafening, and all kinds of dazzling divine clouds and light beams swept across the scene.

The two creatures joined forces and quickly beat Gu Chi severely, forcing her to retreat repeatedly and cough up blood.

In this battle, she was fighting two of herself. The means that could easily suppress others in the past were unable to exert much suppressive force at this moment and were basically dissolved.

"Does this mean that you want me to surpass myself?" Gu Chi whispered.

She was covered in blood, having just been nearly cut in half by the halberd that came across her.

"Come on, you can be resurrected after you die!"

Gu Chi became furious and used all his energy to fight against the two creatures, as if he was determined to die together with them.

But soon, there was a "bang" and she flew out like a scarecrow in the wind, with several bloody holes on her body.
