Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 799: Red Phoenix Yuanjun

Gu Xu, dressed in a green shirt, stood quietly by the side, watching the flames jumping on their bodies.

He had already sensed that a powerful force had already arrived, looming over the altar and overlooking everyone.

It is not difficult to guess that it is the remaining will of the Yanling clan's ancestor, Chihuang Yuanjun.

According to a widely circulated saying among the Yanling clan, if someone's bloodline is pure enough and can resonate with the altar, they are the reincarnation of the Red Phoenix Yuanjun and will awaken the power and memories of their previous life.

But Gu Xu always felt that things were not that simple.

He once experienced the dangerous situation of being possessed by the Emperor of Ziwei, and he was always deeply wary of the concept of "reincarnation".

However, he did not interfere with the sacrificial ceremony.

Instead, he restrained the aura of a Ninth Realm powerhouse and quietly observed the development of the situation.

Suddenly, a golden-red phoenix shadow appeared above Gu Qingyan, circling in the midst of fire and clouds, making a clear sound.

The Yanling people around were all shocked.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the golden and red shadow, their eyes filled with fanaticism and admiration.

Led by clan leader Huangfu Jiong, they all knelt on the ground and shouted the names of their ancestors in unison, their voices shaking the earth.

The golden-red phoenix shadow seemed to have heard their calls.

It suddenly swooped down, turned into a dazzling light, and merged into Gu Qingyan's body in front of the altar.

"I never thought that after tens of thousands of years, I would still see a descendant with such pure bloodline, almost comparable to me," the phoenix shadow said with emotion after entering Gu Qingyan's sea of ​​consciousness, "With such a body, it is not impossible to break through the bottleneck of the previous life and ascend to the realm of 'Yujing'."

It was just as Gu Xu expected.

The so-called reincarnation of Red Phoenix Yuanjun is nothing but a carefully woven lie.

In essence, it is nothing more than an ancestor who has been dormant for many years, intending to take over the body of his descendant in order to rebuild his Taoism and break through to a higher level.

However, at the moment when Chihuang Yuanjun was about to erase Gu Qingyan's consciousness, he was surprised to find that the originally white sea of ​​consciousness suddenly turned into a deep and vast starry sky.

The stars, trailing brilliant flame tails, fell from the sky and turned into blue flames, surrounding Him in layers.

He realized that he was trapped in the flames, unable to move, and could only silently endure the burning and torture.

He also thought about giving up the plan to take over another body and tried to withdraw from Gu Qingyan's sea of ​​consciousness.

But just as he tried to leave, the vast starry sky suddenly twisted and turned into an invisible cage, locking him tightly. Every star exuded a fierce pressure, like countless pairs of cold eyes, watching his every move.

"what 's wrong?"

Chihuang Yuanjun was once a powerful being at the peak of the eighth realm, born from the great Dao of heaven and earth. No one had ever posed such a deadly threat to him.

But at this moment, He felt a deep fear like never before.

His intuition told him that the other party only needed a thought to completely erase his existence, and even all traces of his presence in the world.

"Since you have the guts to come here, don't even think about going back."

As a voice sounded, a translucent figure in fluttering green clothes gradually condensed in the blue flames - it was Gu Xu's divine thought.

He slowly raised his arm, and the blue flame suddenly became more intense. The entire starry sky seemed to have turned into a furnace for smelting metal, trying to completely refine the consciousness of Chihuang Yuanjun.

Under the burning flames, Red Phoenix Yuanjun could no longer maintain his calm and majestic demeanor.

Finally, He could no longer bear it and uttered a low whine: "You... who are you? If I have offended you, please forgive me! I will retreat immediately and never invade again... If you are willing to spare my life, I am willing to be your servant, and from now on... from now on, I will follow your lead!"

The man in front of him could easily suppress him without any effort. Obviously, there was only one possibility - the other party was the legendary ninth realm strongman. Even in the heyday of the Red Phoenix Yuanjun, if he had ten times the courage, he would never dare to provoke such a being who could manipulate the rules of the world at will.

But Gu Xu remained calm and was not moved at all.

"What a pity," he said calmly, "Taking a rare innate creature from the Lingxiao Realm as a servant does sound tempting. I also thought about letting you go, but you shouldn't have set your sights on my daughter."

The next moment, blue flames swept across the entire starry sky like a tide.

The remaining consciousness of Chihuang Yuanjun was completely annihilated in the flames, leaving only the pure soul power refined by the flames, floating slowly in the starry sky, emitting a faint and clear light.

Under Gu Xu's control, these powers gradually merged into Gu Qingyan's soul, causing her spiritual power and cultivation to rise rapidly in a short period of time, leaping from the second realm to the fifth realm.

As for the memories of Chihuang Yuanjun and his understanding of the Tao, Gu Xu chose to seal them temporarily, leaving it for Gu Qingyan to slowly unravel in the future.

After all, Gu Qingyan is still young and has not experienced much of the world.

If she allowed the memories of Chihuang Yuanjun to flow into her consciousness and affect her personality, then it would become difficult to tell whether she was his daughter or the reborn Chihuang Yuanjun.

No one in the outside world knew that a brief but fierce confrontation had taken place in Gu Qingyan’s sea of ​​consciousness.

They only saw that the flames on Gu Qingyan's body burned more and more fiercely, the pressure became more and more terrifying, and her eyes completely turned golden red.

A pair of phoenix wings condensed from flames slowly spread out behind her, blazing and dazzling.

Her figure then slowly rose above the altar, like a sacred and majestic deity.

The eyes of the Yanling people present became more and more fanatical, and they all bowed their heads in worship.

Gu Xu didn't stop them.

Although he has become the master of Lingxiao Realm now, the incense of Lingxiao Realm was forcibly taken by him from Taishang Haotian. Compared with the faith foundation of Dahuang, it seems a bit superficial after all.

He needs to find a way to consolidate his rule.

The forces in Lingxiao Realm are so complex and deeply entrenched that even Taishang Haotian had to compromise with them after spending thousands of years.

With Gu Xu's current strength, it would be easy to eliminate all these forces.

However, the power of a Ninth Realm expert is closely related to the overall strength of the world's practitioners.

If he killed all the strong men in Lingxiao Realm, his own strength would inevitably be weakened.

And if he tried to transform the Lingxiao Realm into his ideal state through forceful means, there was no guarantee that those strong men would not launch a suicidal counterattack and interfere with his absorption of incense.

Therefore, he adopted a divide and rule strategy. He first targeted the Mo Sect, which had a blood feud with the Dragon Clan, and destroyed it to establish his authority. Then he showed favor to the Bixia Palace and recruited the Palace Master Ye Yuping to serve him and make her his assistant.

Today, he used this sacrificial ceremony to gain control of the Yanling tribe.

He believed that with his own strength, he would be able to complete the mountainous structure of Lingxiao Realm that neither Emperor Ziwei nor Taishang Haotian could change, as well as the unfinished task of unification.

"Daddy!"

Gu Qingyan, who had completely absorbed the soul power of Red Phoenix Yuanjun, was now slowly descending from the air.

She didn't know what happened in her conscious world just now.

I just felt relaxed all over, as if I was bathing in a warm hot spring.

Then, she ran towards Gu Xu happily with a smile on her face.

Gu Xu opened his arms and gently held his daughter in his arms.

"good."
