Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 344 - 209: Hu Yao Always Appears When You Need Her_2

Chapter 344 -209: Hu Yao Always Appears When You Need Her_2

The Dragon Cavalry soldier had no doubts; he thought Chen Qing simply liked studying Gu.

His Lifebound Gu was a mere Mortal sword Gu. After refining the Merit Token, only his bones grew slightly stronger, and no new information appeared on the Gu.

This indicated that ordinary Gu could not cultivate out any divine qualities.

It seemed that only the Light Gu was the only way forward.

Moreover, Chen Qing’s Light Gu was extremely powerful.

Originally, Chen Qing planned to: obtain a strand of Shang Tong’s hair or dead skin, then cultivate himself to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm, the Sensing Stage.

Then, he would directly enter the dream and kill Shang Tong!

The Jiguang Sect under Shang Tong’s command was solely held together by him. Once he died, it would certainly fall into chaos.

In this way, with the pressure on Xu Yaofeng greatly reduced, Ji Dang would have to split his forces to suppress the Jiguang Sect under Shang Tong.

In such a situation, Chen Qing could suddenly return to strike under Fengdu City and, together with Xu Yaofeng, attack from both sides, likely securing a great victory and breaking through Ji Dang’s frontline positions.

Indeed, Chen Qing’s target was never the generals guarding Ji Dang’s rear but Ji Dang’s main camp.

This was truly an unpredictable strategy.

However, at this moment, Chen Qing was stuck at the step of raising his cultivation to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm.

Shang Tong had taken a large number of Merit Tokens, leaving only bone Merit Tokens, forcing Chen Qing to complete the Bone Sacrifice cultivation.

With such cultivation, entering Shang Tong’s dream would not be enough to defeat him!

Shang Tong, having long settled in the Death Realm, must have reached the Great Perfection of the Ghost Face Realm, perhaps even cultivated divine qualities.

The difference in cultivation was indeed too great.

If unable to deliver a fatal blow in one hit, once the dream entry failed, Shang Tong would certainly be prepared. It would be much more difficult to act again next time.

It had to be said, Ji Dang had pushed Chen Qing to a desperate situation this time.

Headache!

The strategy Wang Yuan suggested earlier was good, but since Wang Yuan the young monk lost the contest to Wang Ji, his actions might be seen through by Wang Ji.

Cultivation, indeed, had never been so simple.

Wanting to conquer the Death Realm was even more challenging.

Xu Yaofeng, however, had a fair amount of Merit. Flesh, bones, blood and energy all four types of Merit were prepared for him.

But the problem now was, once in Fengdu, how to get out was a question.

Xu Yaofeng was already surrounded by Ji Dang, and from the current situation, being surrounded for another ten years was no big problem.

Ji Dang dared not launch a full-force attack, as the losses would be too great. If losses reached half, Chen Qing might directly press the entire army forward, likely reversing the situation in one go.

This was precisely the intention behind Chen Qing’s direct seizure of Chaotian City.

If Chen Qing also plunged in headfirst, he probably wouldn’t be able to get out.

It’s quite vexing.

If it really came down to having no other choice, the “Venerate King·Undying Decree” would have to be used.

Chen Qing was not keen on using the “Venerate King·Undying Decree” at this moment.

The reason was simple, once his subordinates became the Undead, their cultivation would stagnate.

Three hundred at the early Ghost Face Realm weren’t of much use.

People weren’t fools. Knowing you have an Undying Body, they wouldn’t foolishly engage in a battle of mutual harm with you.

For instance, when Chen Qing fought against a Foundation Establishment realm Undead, he could completely capture them, exhaust their Spiritual Energy, then bind them with chains, pour molten metal over them, and toss them into the Death Sea.

Having an Undying Body wouldn’t be of much use.

After another day of travel, at night, Chen Qing ordered a halt to the march to prepare for tonight’s gathering.

He went alone to a secluded spot not far away with his Green Bull, donned the bronze ghost mask, and his figure appeared on the Cloud Platform.

After a brief greeting, noticing that no one inquired about the Gu, Chen Qing said, “All right, you can start chatting.”

Ji Ru was the first to speak, asking: “Yao Feng, how’s the situation at your side?”

Xu Yaofeng replied with a smile, “Taiyi has already entered the Death Realm. It only took him half a day to seize Chaotian City, with the army amassed within, assisting each other with me.”

“Ji Dang no longer dared to attack forcefully, for if his losses were too great, Taiyi would certainly lead the whole army to press forward.”

“Shang Tong lost his most fortified city and is somewhat vexed now too.”

“Overall, the crisis of Fengdu is considered lifted, albeit we’re still stuck.”

Ji Ru gently touched her chest and said, “That’s good, at least your crisis there is resolved.”

Xu Yaofeng asked, “After Taiyi left, what’s the situation in the human world? Is Nanli still stable? You’re the only one left in the human world now.”

Ji Ru replied, “Wushang went to suppress the ghost calamities.”

“After Taiyi left, a large portion of the evil spirits under his command began to rebel, and now the ghosts are rampaging through Lin Country of Nanli, stretching thousands of miles. It’s rare to see a human trace, with white bones everywhere.”

“Fortunately, Wushang was left behind. He is currently working hard to suppress them, estimated to take a few months to complete.”

Chen Qing was slightly angry in his heart, feeling he should have exterminated all the evil spirits before he came.

The trouble now was his doing, but fortunately, Wushang was sensible and stayed to suppress it.

Xu Yaofeng said, “You just wait for Li Chonghuan to enter the Death Realm, then lead the Royalist Faction supporting the current Emperor and the Ancient Worship Sect supporting Ji Dang against each other.”

“In this way, there would be less pressure in the human world too.”

Ji Ru nodded, “I will do my best to strive for aligning with the Royalist Faction.”

Xu Yaofeng said, “Our current predicament is that even though Taiyi led his army into the Death Realm, helping me immensely with the pressure, we still can’t break the impasse.”

“If we remain unable to exit the city, we can’t transport souls to the White Bone River and Death Sea, hence can’t obtain Merit, and our cultivation won’t progress.”

This was also the dilemma Chen Qing faced: sitting in an isolated city without gaining Merit.

Even if it could be obtained, it would only be within a thousand miles of Chaotian City.

Outside this range, it was no longer safe.

Finally, while they were chatting, Chen Qing spoke for the first time, “Taiyi indeed mentioned this predicament to me and sought my help.”

Everyone turned serious upon hearing Chen Qing speak for the first time during their conversation.

Chen Qing continued, “I have a method that could kill Shang Tong, but it requires a large amount of Merit, allowing Taiyi to cultivate to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm.”

Ji Ru said, “Even if I managed to get in touch with Cao Guanxiu, I fear he wouldn’t have the chance to send such an ample amount of Merit.”

“Since entering the Death Realm, Ji Dang has tightly controlled the flow of Merit. Almost every piece of Merit has a clear record of its destination.”

Xu Yaofeng said, “I have a large stockpile, but Taiyi can’t get in.”

“If he managed to get in, and were trapped with us in Fengdu, the situation would spiral out of control.”

“To exit the city for battle, we have to face Ji Dang head-on, and currently, a decisive battle would lead to definite defeat.”

While the two were mired in worries, Hu Yao suddenly spoke sweetly, “If it’s just the Merit for Taiyi’s cultivation, I can manage it.”

“Though stationed at the borderlands, I have accumulated some emergency Merit.”

“However, he needs to fight his way from the Death Sea at least to the middle section of the White Bone River towards Naihe Bridge before I can send it to him.”

Xu Yaofeng was elated, “Finally, there’s a solution to break the impasse.”

All four gazed intently at Chen Qing, waiting quietly for him to speak.

“I will inform Taiyi of this. If you hear that Taiyi is advancing towards Naihe Bridge, it means he agrees with this plan.”

Hu Yao said, “Then I will begin heading towards Naihe Bridge, making sure to reach there by the fifteenth of August. If delayed, we’ll retreat.”

As the gathering ended, Hu Yao removed the bronze ghost mask from her face, exited her royal chariot, glanced at the monkey squatting nearby, and looked over at the dumb oxen pulling her chariot, “The Merit we’ve plundered, how many people’s worth is enough to reach the peak of the Ghost Face Realm?”

The monkey hurriedly knelt, “Great King, enough for ten people to ascend to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm!”

Hu Yao pondered for a moment, “So, one person should be more than enough, even if cultivating out divine qualities as well.”

“Get ready and bring them all to me.”

The monkey asked, “Who does the Great King intend to give it to?”

Hu Yao smiled, “A true king.”

The monkey was stunned, even after Hu Yao had entered the royal chariot for a long time, he still breathed heavily.

“Is the true King coming?”
