Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 364 - 219: Azure Darkness Eyes, Devouring Mouth, Open!

His talent in Sword Dao had to be terrifyingly strong.

Hu Yao asked worriedly, “Is he a Grandmaster?”

Ji Ru shook her head, “Becoming a Grandmaster isn’t that simple. Even Shen Changye has only reached the pinnacle of the Dharma Eye Realm, the second level of Martial Arts.”

“He’s still far from being a Grandmaster.”

“In the current Death Realm, there are only two Grandmasters.”

“One is Ji Dang, who entered the Grandmaster Realm through Spear Dao, and the other is Taiyi, who entered through sheer dominance.”

“Previously, Taiyi might not have been a match for Ji Dang due to insufficient skill level.”

“But now, Red Lotus provides Taiyi with enough Merit to cultivate to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm.”

“With this, the Death Realm gains another person who can be considered invincible.”

Chen Qing wasn’t too sure about being invincible yet, after all, his Lifebound Gu represented authority, not power.

If his Lifebound Gu were the Six Dao Ghosts, then he could straightforwardly say, ‘In my humble opinion, I’m invincible, you all do as you please.’

It was time to raise his strength to the peak of the Ghost Face Realm, and incidentally see how many Divines he could cultivate.

Cultivating Divines depended on chance.

Suddenly, Hu Yao turned to Chen Qing and said, “Well, Senior Taichu, I’ve also met Taiyi.”

“It’s always a bit formal to call him Taiyi. Can I call him senior brother?”

On this matter, Xu Yaofeng and Murong Lang, even Ji Ru, were intrigued.

Taiyi’s status seemed exceptional in Senior Taichu’s eyes. They were not yet qualified to become disciples of the Taichu Sect, but if they could call Taiyi senior brother, the relationship would at least bring them closer.

They understood well their current roles, which were just pawns for Senior Taichu.

But if they could form a brotherly bond with Taiyi, even if there came a time when they had to be utilized, Senior Taichu might still remember their past dealings favorably, right?

Previously, when Ji Ru met Chen Qing, she had not dared to make such a request.

Only Hu Yao, with her bold and open nature, dared to ask this.

Chen Qing smiled, “If you like it, then it’s fine.”

Contrary to what you might expect, the one who reacted first wasn’t Hu Yao, but Xu Yaofeng, “In that case, with Senior Brother Taiyi leading the Dragon Cavalry to conquer the Death Realm, I’ll feel at ease.”

He probed, and seeing no reaction from Chen Qing, he was delighted.

Seeing Xu Yaofeng’s slight trial succeed, Murong Lang and Ji Ru wisely changed how they addressed him, henceforth calling Taiyi senior brother.

When the gathering ended, Chen Qing took off his bronze mask, and not long after, Hu Yao burst directly into his room.

“Oh, about the large amount of Merit you need, it’s all on the ship. Let me take you there.”

Chen Qing cheerfully followed Hu Yao, heading into the ship’s cabin. When he saw the neatly placed boxes of Merit, Chen Qing smiled, “Thank you very much then.”

“No need for thanks, senior brother, we’re all from the same sect.”

Hu Yao suddenly felt a special sense from having four peers and found it quite interesting.

Chen Qing said, “I need to cultivate for a while. During this time, I’ll be counting on you.”

Hu Yao waved grandly, “Don’t worry.”

After seeing off Hu Yao, Chen Qing immediately sat cross-legged, took out a dream-connecting flower, snipped a small section of Xuanping’s cherished hair, placed it in the dream-connecting flower, and slowly ignited it, inhaling the smoke as he entered the dream.

In his dream, Chen Qing pushed open the Void Gate to find himself once again in the magnificent Scripture Pavilion, vast and grand, with endless books spread all around.

Chen Qing glanced around but did not see Xuanping’s figure, it seemed Ping’er hadn’t gone to sleep yet.

She always went to sleep after midnight.

Back in the human world, Chen Qing knew Xuanping had this habit.

Of course, this was partly due to Xuanping’s usual abundance of matters to attend to.

After waiting a while, Chen Qing saw Xuanping push open the door to the Scripture Pavilion and enter inside. Seeing Chen Qing, Xuanping was quite delighted.

“How have you been recently?”

Chen Qing recounted his recent situation to Xuanping, “Once I reach the peak of the Ghost Face Realm, this Death Realm should be where I roam freely.”

Xuanping said, “That’s good.”

Chen Qing asked, “As for the Commandery Princess, what price did she offer?”

Xuanping said, “You are to lead the other Kings in a common worship of King Wu. According to an elder sister from the South Sea, King Wu’s King Gu reaches the twelfth floor, requiring worship from at least Nine Kings.”

Chen Qing thought for a moment, “That’s not impossible.”

“Then what about King Wu’s order to exterminate the Phoenix Nest and what’s going on with Jiezishan?”
