Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 340 - 207: I Have an Immortal Gourd

Chapter 340 -207: I Have an Immortal Gourd

The young man glanced at the crowd outside the city gates and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Qing, “Lord Wen, the Prince asked me to greet you!”

Lu Shenglong exclaimed, “Did Ji Dang see through us?”

Su Yi shook his head, “No, it’s purely because Ji Dang has many ancient families under his command; he has too many talents.”

“Ji Dang must have dispatched capable generals to all the cities we might ambush.”

“And now before us should be Xiao.”

Chen Qing rode forward on his Green Bull and shouted, “Xiao, you are a rare talent among the ancient families. Why come to die?”

Xiao held a green Immortal Gourd in his hand and said calmly, “I came only to follow the ancestor’s orders. The ancestor told me to obey the Prince’s commands, so I obey.”

“In war, people die. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s you.”

Chen Qing said, “If you surrender now, I can guarantee your safety.”

Xiao replied seriously, “Lord Wen, neither you nor the Prince is an ordinary person.”

“You want your subordinates to be loyal to death and leave them room for resolution.”

“The Prince has Da Yan behind him, and we families rely on Da Yan to survive.”

“If I surrender today, wouldn’t my family suffer and be punished by the Emperor?”

“Moreover, if I surrender, I don’t think the many families in Da Yan would tolerate me.”

Chen Qing asked, “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Xiao raised the Immortal Gourd in his right hand, “My family has the first vine of the world, the Eternal Green Vine.”

“The Green Vine blooms and bears fruit, and then the spiritual treasure descends.”

“My Immortal Gourd Gu draws from the King Power of the Eternal Green Vine and is comparable to a King Gu. I can surely hold for three days.”

“After three days, Lord Wen, you can face the Prince in battle and decide the outcome in one fight. Wouldn’t that be refreshing?”

Chen Qing’s eyes fell on the Immortal Gourd. This was a derivative Gu of the Eternal Green Vine’s King Gu, born from the Eternal Green Vine and nurtured by it.

It was similar to the Green Sun Gu, capable of borrowing some King’s Power.

If he hadn’t witnessed the power of the Netherworld Gu on the eleventh floor, Chen Qing might have doubted whether this Immortal Gourd had the power of a King Gu.

But now, having seen the Green Sun Gu and Netherworld Gu, he clearly knew this Immortal Gourd must have power comparable to a King Gu.

The King Gu vastly differed with each level it ascended.

Each level brought immense power enhancement.

When Chen Qing first encountered the Netherworld Gu on the eleventh floor, he almost mistook it for a higher-tier Gu.

The King Gu significantly improved with each level it climbed.

For an ancient family like the Spiritual Treasure Family, the King Gu must have reached an extremely high level, at least the tenth-floor level.

This level of derivative Gu could borrow the King’s Power, boasting power equivalent to the first-floor King Gu.

Looking at Xiao before him, Chen Qing realized again the gap between himself and Ji Dang.

Chen Qing patrolled Jiuli, encountering assassinations and insults.

But Ji Dang didn’t need to roam Da Yan yet secured support from numerous ancient families.

Of course, this related to the makeup of Da Yan and Jiuli.

Da Yan had a sole emperor, the Emperor Donghua, with kings subordinate to him.

Jiuli, although having Miao God, was ruled by Nine Kings. Chen Qing lacked support from the royal family and True Monarchs.

The only king supporting him was the Red-dressed Sister from the South Sea, but she was a new king, and the level of her King Gu must not be high.

The Flame Empress Gu given to Xuanping was far beyond most spirit Gu but didn’t reach the level close to King Gu.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Chen Qing, awaiting his command.

Chen Qing rode forward on his Green Bull, drawing the Dragon Sparrow Sword from his waist, “Since you’re not afraid of death, then I can only slay you.”

Xiao smiled warmly, “I never knew what kind of King Gu Lord Wen had, and it’s time to test it for the Prince!”

“Lord Wen rules with wisdom, and I want to see Lord Wen’s martial prowess.”

He extended his hand, “I have an Immortal Gourd, full of treasures!”

“The first treasure is the Flowing Mountain Water, a drop weighing a thousand catties, capable of stopping a thousand armies!”

“Guarding a pass by one man, ten thousand men cannot open!”

Chen Qing rode forward on his Green Bull, rushing into the Flowing Mountain Water, recalling the Sword Dao obsession he absorbed on the Hidden Sword Mountain.

On the Hidden Sword Mountain, the sword of the ancestor prevails, Lang Qian Die.

Each sword surpasses the previous one.

Chen Qing raised his sword. The sword stirred waves tens of meters high, and with one slash, the whole being was pushed back a step by the Qing Shan.

“Truly remarkable!”

“Time to use the Sword Drawing Skill!”

Chen Qing raised his sword again, mobilizing the great momentum of heaven and earth. The unmatched momentum emanated from Chen Qing, astonishing Xiao.

“Grandmaster Realm?”

“Using only a Grandmaster Realm technique, but this sword carries the power of a Grandmaster!”

The Flowing Mountain Water was split by Chen Qing’s sword, cleaving into two.

The Qing Shan immediately executed a perfected Cutting the Path to See Me, falling on Chen Qing.

Chen Qing felt his consciousness clear, the world silent, leaving only the long sword in his hand.

Cutting the Path to See Me!

Cutting away irritation, leaving only himself, only the sword!

My action is the path, my body is the law!

Chen Qing slashed, raising a thousand heavy waves, cutting through layers upon layers!

With this sword, he truly stepped into the Grandmaster Realm!

The Qing Shan indeed pairs well with me!

One sword cut through the Flowing Mountain Water, and Chen Qing rode forward fearlessly on his Green Bull toward Xiao.

Clouds emerged at the feet of the Green Bull, bringing Chen Qing instantly before Xiao.

Nevertheless, Xiao remained unfazed, chanting, “I have an Immortal Gourd, containing the primordial breath of heaven and earth!”

“It is the Primordial Qi!”

The Immortal Gourd opened, releasing a colorful aura that clung to Xiao’s palms. Xiao waved his long sleeves, palm clashing with Chen Qing’s Dragon Sparrow Sword.

Chen Qing’s immense power burst forth, slashing Xiao’s left arm to thrust toward Xiao’s chest.

“Just a mere second realm of Martial Arts, Dharma Eye, dares to block me?”

Xiao felt enormous pressure. In the Dharma Eye Realm, he could perceive others’ flaws, but against a Grandmaster, he had no counter.

The Dharma Eye was the limit of skill, seeing through the enemy’s flaws.

The Grandmaster pursued personal limits; techniques had no imperfections, only the unstoppable force!

Three successive strikes disturbed the Primordial Qi on Xiao’s palms, a crack appeared, blood seeping through.

Xiao flickered, retreating ten meters away from Chen Qing, sighing, “Fatian Xiangdi, truly extraordinary!”

“By sheer force, except for the Power King Gu, few could stop Lord Wen’s Dragon Sparrow directly.”

Yet Xiao remained unchanged, engaging Chen Qing with the Primordial Qi entwined in his hands.

Though forced back step by step by Chen Qing, he showed no change in expression.

Lu Shenglong remarked, “The Immortal Gourd has three treasures. Xiao usually defeats opponents with just two, so no one knows what the third is!”

“He’s clearly at a disadvantage now yet insists on fighting Lord Wen, there must be a trump card left.”

He glanced at Su Yi, “Does Manager Su know what treasures might lie within?”

Su Yi calculated, “If it’s from the Spiritual Treasure Family’s Eternal Green Vine, the strongest are Heavenly Punishment Sword Qi, Immortal-slaying Flying Saber, and Soul-locking Hook.”

“Let’s see which one it is!”

Lu Shenglong shouted, “Lord Wen, be cautious. He might still have Heavenly Punishment Sword Qi, Immortal-slaying Flying Saber, and Soul-locking Hook!”

Chen Qing immediately grew alert, being wary of a surprise attack.

The Heavenly Punishment Sword Qi was a trace of Sword Qi from the primordial heaven and earth, capable of annihilating stars!

The Soul-locking Hook could pull out souls, and those whose Divine Soul wasn’t strong might get annihilated in one hit.

Naturally, for Chen Qing, this posed the least threat; Chen Qing drank the suffering of all beings, possessing an extremely tenacious Divine Soul, capable of defense.

The Immortal-slaying Flying Saber, from a drop of blood from a Heavenly Demon, the Three-eyed Crow, on the Eternal Green Vine, produced one of the strongest artifacts of the path of killing.

It was unpredictable, capable of cleaving the celestial immortals above and deadly ghosts below.
