Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Southern Wilderness - Baiyue Mountain.

Since Feng Xianren was not present, only Dao Lords Gu Zhixuan and Ninth Ancestor Lin Chunyi were at the mountain gate. Gu Qing went directly into the mountain gate this time.

Lin Chunyi was somewhat surprised.

"Gu Qing, what brings you here?"

"Looking for Lao Gu, where is he?"

"He should be in the forbidden area behind the mountain. I'll go and inform him."

"Alright."

About fifteen minutes later.

In front of the ancestral hall, three low tables were placed together, and several people sat on the ground without any restraint.

When Gu Zhixuan learned that Gu Qing wanted to visit the Ruins of Time, he couldn't help but say:

"You have to handle this yourself. Senior Brother Feng isn't here, and Chunyi's realm has just stabilized. It's the time when his cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, so I can't leave Baiyue Mountain."

"I understand, could you give me a map?"

Gu Qing was not surprised when he raised his glass to toast.

"Alright, but the Time Relics have collapsed and are located deep in the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm. Be careful not to be discovered by Eagle Court."

"No need to worry, even if they discover the Sky-Piercing Strike, they can't do anything to me."

Gu Qing smiled gently, dispelling Gu Zhixuan's worries. With a flick of his palm, layers of space appeared and disappeared within them. This was a palm technique born from the breakthrough of the "Spirit of Law" level of [Universe in the Sleeve] and the combination of the laws of the void.

Gu Qing called out to him—[Master of Life and Death]!
Like the Destruction Lotus, it possesses extreme destructive power. It is the destructive force brought about by the collapse of heaven and earth and the destruction of space, and it can be released instantly without the need for charging.

Even without obtaining the "Sun and Moon in a Pot" supernatural power, it still possesses some resemblance to a great offensive supernatural power.

The destructive power is only one aspect; the main focus is on demonstrating the void laws at the source rune level.

In terms of escape, after the Void Law was perfected and the Origin Runes were reborn, it was even faster than the Wind Law, and ordinary spatial sealing methods could no longer stop it.

Gu Zhixuan and Lin Chunyi's eyelids twitched as they watched.

"It's only been a few years, and you've already made another breakthrough."

"I can sense the aura of the Qiankun Dharma Spirit. Did it break through in these two Jiazi?"

Gu Qing shook her head.

"It will be even sooner. I have been in seclusion at Kunlun Tianchi for the past two Jiazi and have gained a lot of benefits. Once the Crimson Emperor Talisman gives birth to the Dharma Spirit, I will break through to the fifth rank and ascend to the upper level."

Gu Zhixuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Very well, with such strength, the Southern Wilderness Eagle Court is no longer worthy to be your opponent. This is the map of the Time Ruins, which involves forbidden power. Be careful."

"Rest assured, my life is very precious. What about the spies planted in Eagle Court?"

"Wangshu?"

Gu Zhixuan nodded and then shook his head.

"This woman has recently risen to fame, known as the [Azure Moon Demon Lord], and has already married the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor, establishing a Daoist bond."

"It is said that they came from the Lesser Thousand Worlds [Round Moon Void Realm], and they united the Golden-backed Eagle, the Crimson Phoenix Eagle, and the Crimson Flame Eagle to form a new Eagle Guard."

“At first she would often keep me informed, but recently she has been contacting me less and less. I guess she feels that we can't help her.”

"This is normal."

Lin Chunyi sneered.

“The cultivators of the Lesser Thousand Worlds all want to break free from the control of the Cangwu Realm's forces; they cannot place their hopes on us.”

"What she wants is freedom, not to find herself another master."

Gu Zhixuan rolled his eyes at Lin Chunyi.

"She sent us a lot of intelligence. It's worth mentioning that Eagle Court seems to have made peace with the Three-Legged Crow Clan of the Heavenly Wasteland Domain and has sent a fifth-rank lower-level Crow to be stationed in the Southern Wasteland Demon Domain for a long time."

"In other words, there were four demon lords during this period."

"learn."

After a satisfying meal and learning about the recent changes in the Southern Wilderness, Gu Qing took his leave. With the matter of dealing with the Time Vein imminent, a deeper understanding of the power of time would be invaluable, especially since Gu Qing wanted to condense the Time Origin Runes and master this forbidden power.

Watching Gu Qing leave.

Lin Chunyi sighed and looked at Gu Zhixuan, saying, "Senior Brother Feng Xian still hasn't given in?"

"He's just that stubborn, why bother with him?"

Gu Zhixuan snorted dismissively.

"Don't even mention Gu Qing, I also want to beat him up. At most a thousand years, when Gu Qing breaks through to the fifth rank, I will beat him up sooner or later. You and I can just watch the show."

Lin Chunyi: (o゜▽゜)o～, is this appropriate?

"By the way, the fourth to the eighth brother, Baohua and the others have been at the sixth rank for many years. They have a deep foundation and have accumulated enough, but they are stuck at the threshold and cannot make any progress."

"Are there any historical sites worth exploring recently? Let them go out and have a look, maybe they'll find something interesting."

"this---"

After leaving Baiyue Mountain, Gu Qing turned around and went deep into the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm.

His understanding of the power of time mostly comes from the forbidden divine power, the Time Blade, which has the miraculous effect of splitting time itself, and is extremely difficult to cultivate.

If one is not careful, one will be entangled by the power of time, leading to a backlash.

Even though Gu Qing had been cultivating for quite some time, he had only reached a rudimentary level, not even reaching the minor Chengdu level. His cultivation was cautious, so his progress was naturally slow.

He felt that the initial steps were too big.

Before they've even learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, they're already trying to figure out how to use calculus.

While the law of time is precious, there are also subordinate laws. From one to two, and then to three!

One of the purposes of his trip to the Time Ruins was to obtain some minor spells and ordinary supernatural abilities to help him overcome the difficulties he encountered in cultivating the Time Blade.

Within a few days, following the map, Gu Qing quickly arrived at the ruins of the Spring and Autumn Cicada, where Gu Zhixuan had discovered the Time Blade.

Eighty percent of this place is underground, and the area exposed on the surface is no more than a hundred feet wide. There are land subsidence phenomena within a radius of ten thousand miles, and the architectural remains are also leaning to one side or the other.

There was no passageway for people; it had been completely destroyed.

However, it is not entirely impossible to explore.

After landing.

A wisp of earth-yellow law appeared in Gu Qing's palm, instantly transforming into an earth python. With a soft hiss, the earth shook.

The collapsed ruins automatically parted to reveal an opening.

Gu Qing activated the power of the Earth Element Law, and although his control over this land was weak, it was still able to affect a large number of things.

Investigate inch by inch.

No treasures were found yet, but a large number of stone tablets were discovered with ancient demon script, almost all of which were related to the Spring and Autumn period cicada.

The map given by Gu Zhixuan marked the place where he obtained the Time Blade. Although it had been destroyed, Gu Qing still needed to go there first.

soon.

In the underground world, this cavity was completely buried by soil. The collapsed building resembled a library, but the jade slips inside that recorded supernatural powers and techniques had long since become invalid and rotten.

Gu Qing investigated them one by one and found a few who had slipped through the net.

However, it does not involve the laws of time.

Instead, it consists of numerous minor supernatural abilities centered around the law of withering and flourishing.

"Withering and Flourishing Seal, Wood Spirit Technique, Toon Sprout Technique... and so on."

Some are complete, but most are incomplete. Gu Qing doesn't care. Even if it's incomplete to the point of only having one sentence, he can still use the Heavenly Longevity to deduce the complete method.

Of course—if it's not the core outline, the differences between the new and old techniques will be significant. (End of Chapter)
