Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

With blood in his mouth, Gu Chi dragged his seriously injured body and fought fiercely with the two creatures that looked like ghost generals from the underworld.

In this battle, she fought without reservation, pushing her combat power to the extreme, using all kinds of killing techniques and secret magical powers.

"puff!"

After fighting for more than two hundred rounds, one creature was knocked away by her, but another creature attacked from the side and almost cut off her entire right arm. The cold and shining halberd blade sank into her bones.

"kill!"

Gu Chi was almost blood-thirsty, the fighting blood in his body was boiling and flowing to every limb and bone.

In a trance, there seemed to be the roar of the avenue, and on the old and mottled wall, runes with brilliant divine light emerged, as dazzling as stars, and one after another sank into Gu Chi's body, merging with her boiling fighting blood.

Faintly, a fuzzy divine ring appeared on her body, covered with mysterious Taoist patterns.

In just a moment, Gu Chi's fighting power exploded, his magic power was like the sea, and his physical body became much stronger.

"Pfft!"

With two soft sounds, the two creatures were killed by her, and their broken bodies fell on the bluestone floor.

Gu Chi stood alone in the field, her mind and body clear. She looked inward silently and found that the mysterious and sacred rune was still entangled with her spirit, and was changing in one direction.

She knew that she had not only survived a fatal crisis, but also gained a huge reward!

A vague divine ring appeared around her, which caused a storm in her heart. Even her breathing became rapid and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Qingmu Daoyin!

"I actually... took this step!" Gu Chi was extremely shocked, his heart filled with disbelief.

She never expected that the scripture guidance on the wall was not some kind of miraculous skill or secret technique that could defy the heavens, but that its ultimate goal was to condense the Qingmu Dao Seal!

"This path is not yet complete. The Qingmu Dao Seal is only in its initial form, vaguely visible, similar to Lian Su's situation back then." Gu Chi lowered his head and muttered, "Could it be that I really need to burn myself with three thousand Dao fires before I can fully cultivate it?"

Thinking of this, her eyes began to become fierce.

At first, she didn't know what this scripture was used for, and she just practiced silently according to the instructions. Now that she has determined the direction of this path, there is nothing to worry about. After all, if she fails, there is still a chance to resurrect and start over.

"What kind of creature is this?" Gu Chi came to the two broken corpses.

The gray fog had dispersed, revealing them wearing black armor and each holding a rusty halberd in their hands.

Both their armor and the weapons in their hands looked very old, as if they had traveled across the long river of time from countless years ago.

In addition, Gu Chi also sensed a sense of antiquity from them. This feeling was very strange. It did not feel like he was facing two living beings, but rather like he was facing two historical relics that had been deposited over a long period of time.

"You...shouldn't...kill us..."

Suddenly, one of the creatures opened its mouth and made a sound, it was not completely dead yet!

Gu Chi could not sense any vitality or life fluctuations from them, so he was unable to immediately determine whether they were dead or not.

Now, hearing the sound, he retreated quickly and stuck close to a mottled stone wall of the secret room.

"Who are you? Where are you from? And why do you want to kill me?!" Gu Chi asked loudly.

However, the creature did not move or speak, and it was unclear whether it was dead or not.

"The road... is broken, it's at the end..."

Gu Chi just moved forward when the other corpse suddenly spoke again, saying this for no reason.

"Can't you just talk properly?!" Gu Chi patted his chest which was heaving violently, feeling speechless. He had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and now his nerves were tense. He really couldn't stand this kind of shock.

She stared at the creature and said, "Can you explain clearly, 'The road is broken,' what does that mean? What road is broken?"

However, when the gray fog dissipated, the two creatures turned into powder silently, without leaving any bones, and disappeared in front of her.

In addition, the black armor on their bodies and the two halberds were cracked into pieces and turned into metal fragments.

"brush"

Gu Chi instantly soared into the sky, stretched out a crystal jade hand to grab the ancient lamp that was shining with black light and exuded a weird and ominous emanation, wanting to grab it and study it carefully.

Unfortunately, the void was distorted, and the ancient lamp turned into mist and dissipated in the blink of an eye, leaving Gu Chi empty-handed.

What exactly is going on?

She originally thought that this was also one of the tests of the ancient saints, but after listening to what the two creatures said before they died, she also figured out some different meanings.

Moreover, the ancient lamp was extremely strange and did not seem like the work of an ancient saint.

"If it wasn't the work of an ancient sage, then how did they get into the Palace of the Three Emperors? And what did those two people mean by their words before they died?" Gu Chi fell into deep thought.

The two creatures that looked like ghost generals from the underworld were different from the previous tests. They were not transformed by the rules and had real physical bodies. They turned into dust and dissipated only after being killed by Gu Chi.

"Using some high-quality wood to make a coffin and then sealing the body inside can prevent the body from decaying. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, when the coffin is first opened, it can still look lifelike. However, over time, it will quickly rot and cease to exist, as it should have been erased by the long river of time."

Gu Chi pinched her jaw and whispered. She felt that the two creatures just now might be two ancient corpses that were refined into zombie puppets. That was why she could not feel any life fluctuations from them. They had been dead for a long time and were just being controlled like puppets.

"That's not right. If that were the case, they wouldn't have said those inexplicable words to me just now. At least from their last reaction, they seem to have self-awareness..."

The more Gu Chi thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't figure out the problem for a long time because there were too few clues.

She shook her head, put all her thoughts behind her, and stopped thinking about it. She was going to prepare to go into seclusion again and condense the Qingmu Dao Seal in one go.

Soon after, a fierce flame appeared, slowly increasing from 2,300 to upwards.

For every hundred strands of Dao Fire added, Gu Chi would be burned to pieces and would have to stop and recuperate for a long time before he could continue with the next steps.

Fortunately, she obtained enough magical and ancient medicines in Kunlun Ruins to help her repair her injuries better.

If someone saw her eating the magic medicine like chewing carrots and cabbage, they would definitely be furious and call her a bitch, because at least half of the medicine's power would be wasted.
