Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

It was at this moment that Gu Chi saw the second fairy energy, as white as jade, hazy and mysterious, taking shape.

But he could hardly hold on!

With a humming sound, Gu Chi fell into a brief silence. His soul left his body, fell into the void, entered the eternal dark cage, and embarked on the road to death.

"I have succeeded and cultivated the second immortal energy. I can't die now!" Gu Chi roared in his heart and struggled hard. He didn't want to lose consciousness.

Otherwise, it will be forever, completely returning to nothingness, and it will be impossible to come back to life.

He was unwilling to give up and struggled hard. He didn't want to lose consciousness. He wanted to stay awake and get through it!

In an instant, he thought of Shi Village. That was the warmth of home. So many people were waiting for him. He wanted to honor the clan leader, drink with his uncles, and meet Da Zhuang, Er Meng, Pi Hou, Mao Qiu and others.

He also thought of his parents, and saw the fire mulberry forest with swaying shadows of the trees, Huo Linger waving under the trees, Qingyi, and many other people.

"I want to go back. I can't be stuck here!" Gu Chi struggled. This time was more dangerous than ever. He felt like he was going to lose consciousness and fall into emptiness and darkness.

"Return!" he roared.

He was moving quickly, but this was eternal darkness, a journey into nothingness, a cage from which it was difficult to escape.

Suddenly, he was shocked. In addition to seeing many fragments of time as before, as if he was experiencing reincarnation, he also saw a similar cage.

One after another, they are all drifting in the long river of the world and moving forward in the void. They are dark cages and sealed places.

In a quick glance, he saw several particularly bright spots of light, sealed in a huge cage. The aura was terrifying and exuded an ancient breath.

"Who is that? What kind of creature is that?" Gu Chi's heart was beating fast, and he became slightly more sober.

Is that someone like him? No, their realm is too high, not a fellow traveler. Even if they are sealed in the dark void, they are still so terrifying.

Such creatures are trapped in eternal darkness. Are they forced to do so, or is there something else? What is going on? Why is it so terrifying?

"Buzz!"

Finally, his soul trembled, stopped drifting, and was completely trapped in a dark space from which it was difficult to escape.

"Is this death? Until I am completely annihilated, nothing is left. Is this what it will be like in the final moments before death, sealed in darkness?"

There has never been a moment when Gu Chi felt this way so clearly and deeply!

"I don't want to die. I still have a lot of concerns. I have family and friends, and I want to see them. I can't let go. I have to live, not just for myself!"

Gu Chi was roaring and fighting, not wanting to sink or return to eternal silence.

Moreover, although his soul left his body, was trapped among the fragments of time and was sealed in darkness, he still had an intuition that the second immortal energy was almost formed and was lingering outside his flesh shell.

But what's the point if he can't go back?

At the same moment, someone was approaching, coming to the small world where he was in seclusion, and heading towards the mountains.

The ancient kings of Jun Dao and Heaven appeared, their faces grim as they advanced step by step! (To be continued...)

Coldness and darkness came, and Gu Chi was sealed in a cage of nothingness. He could not find a way out, could not see the end, and there was only eternal loneliness in his eyes.

At this time, he woke up from his trance, but the situation was so critical, how could he escape?

"break!"

He tried his best to bombard it with all his might, trying to open a way back to the real world, but this place was unshakable and terrifying.

This place is unknown and mysterious. All the past seems to be lost forever. It is difficult to tear it open. It is an indestructible prison.

"kill!"

Gu Chi raised his hand, formed a seal, and mobilized the Hand of God, hoping to fight back, but failed again and again.

"How could this be?" He found that the surroundings were even darker and he could not see anything.

Moreover, his soul is being consumed and cannot be replenished. If this continues, it will be annihilated and completely dispersed, and he will be wiped out from the world.

In an instant, Gu Chi fell silent. He no longer moved or resisted, but instead pondered, trying to preserve his spiritual power.

In the cold, there was silence, and darkness was the eternal theme. The passage of time seemed to take away his three lives and three worlds in an instant. It was a strange feeling.

Gu Chi sat cross-legged, feeling extremely lonely. As he pondered silently, he felt fragments of time flying around, as if thousands of years had passed in an instant.

It was a terrible feeling that terrified him!

There was once a saying that seven days in the cave was a thousand years in the real world. He was trapped here, so how much time had passed in the outside world?

Gu Chi didn't know that a chill ran down his spine.

"Was it the same for the little Immortal King back then? He left behind his physical body, while his soul was sealed in a dark place, unable to escape." Gu Chi whispered, and he woke up.

He had seen that scene before on the rough stone wall: the Immortal King had failed. Someone carried the corpse back to the Alchemy Hall, leaving only the flesh shell but no spirit.

At this moment, he completely understood what was going on.

"How can I escape from this predicament? I can't follow in his footsteps!" Gu Chi's soul turned into a little man, sitting cross-legged here, clenching his fists.

He wanted to go out. Outside, there was Shi Village, his family, his friends, things he needed to protect, and people he wanted to see. He couldn't be trapped to death in this desperate situation.

However, a cold and endless icy chill surged over him, and darkness as black as ink enveloped the place. He could not touch or reach anything, and there was no way to break out.

Moreover, at this moment, he felt his soul weakening. The dark void was sucking away his soul power and was gradually eroding it.

Gu Chi's entire body was icy cold. How could he endure this? How could he resist this terrifying erosion? Forget escaping. If he stayed any longer, he might vanish into thin air.

This is the place, eroding the spirit. Erasing the soul, is there nothing left that can last?

Gu Chi tried his best to keep himself in the calmest state and not be impulsive. He wanted to survive and break out of this place. He couldn't die.

He had seen some dark cages drifting in the long river of time, one after another, and there were still spots of light in them, which were powerful creatures.

Why are they still alive? Is there any way to resist?

Gu Chi thought carefully and examined himself. Is there any way to resist the erosion of darkness and keep his soul "immortal" so that he can survive here?

"The Immortal Way and the Shinto Way are two different systems from two different eras. What should I do?"

He had just used magic and exerted divine power, but it was useless. He could not fight back and his spirit was severely depleted.

But he didn't understand the way of immortals at all. This era didn't have that kind of system anymore, and there wasn't that kind of inheritance.

"Immortal energy, I have cultivated one!" Gu Chi said to himself. He had even cultivated a second one, but his soul was separated from his flesh shell and his body lost consciousness.

"Well, there is a little bit?!" Gu Chi checked everything about himself. The two spiritual energies did not have time to follow up, but how come he still had a little bit?
