Longevity begins with alchemy master

A bronze door stands quietly between heaven and earth.

It is covered with lifelike reliefs of ferocious skeletons waving their sharp claws, as if trying to break away from the door, but being suppressed by an invisible force.

Five figures stood under the gate.

"Five days have passed, why haven't Li Tianshi and Qi Tian set out yet?" Meng Shentong asked, pacing on the spot with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

The Purple-Robed Marquis at the side shook his head, "Maybe something unexpected happened!"

"Humph!"

Meng Shentong snorted lightly. He didn't believe that anything unexpected would happen to Li Tianshi.

Although the Yellow Wind Formation was bizarre, its main function was to divide space and suppress spiritual consciousness, as if it was specially arranged to trap certain creatures.

For them, the Nascent Soul True Immortals, it is not difficult to get through.

Especially with the Bai Nian Sachet specially refined by Master Li Tian before, they could be guided so as not to get too lost.

After glancing at the old woman who was busy in front of the gate, Meng Shentong stopped and looked up at the bronze gate that was as tall as the sky.

“Is this the Gate of Life and Death?”

Granny Hongye said without even turning her head: "This is not the complete Gate of Life and Death, but only half of it, the Gate of Death that is said to lead to the Netherworld."

Meng Shentong raised his eyebrows, "The style is exactly the same as the door we passed when we entered the Yin and Yang Realm."

"That door is just a replica of this one, and its power is less than one hundredth of it."

Meng Shentong was a little surprised, "So exaggerated?"

Granny Hongye straightened up and turned around with a sad look on her face.

"How can this not be an exaggeration? A complete Gate of Life and Death is a spiritual treasure!"

Lingbao!

Meng Shentong's eyes suddenly emitted a burning light. No wonder the defense of the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land was so tight. It actually used a magical treasure as a defensive barrier!
He asked tentatively: "Can you find the flaw in this door and open it?"

Grandma Hongye looked embarrassed.

Right now!

The yellow wind behind him suddenly dissipated.

A figure walked out from it.

With a casual throw, a corpse fell to the ground.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Master Li Tian, ​​who looked tired.

He clapped his hands, walked to the front door, and said to himself: "Hongye may be able to crack a few of these imitations, but this authentic death door is not something she can crack."

Away from the Heavenly Master!
Marquis Ziyi withdrew his gaze from the corpse on the ground and asked in shock, "You killed the Lion Prime Minister?"

Li Tianshi said without turning his head: "He was determined to seek his own death, so don't blame me for killing him. But this guy is quite troublesome and has been bothering me for a long time."

There was a sudden silence in the field.

The ability of the lion is also widely known in the outside world.

Not to mention his identity as a monk from a holy land, his realm as a late Nascent Soul cultivator alone is enough to intimidate anyone.

Such a powerful man actually died tragically at the hands of Master Li Tian?
This Gu-making master who has been famous for many years is obviously not as kind as he appears, and his strength is by no means as weak as that of an ordinary Gu-making master.

Meng Shentong's pupils shrank slightly and his eyes met Bai Xuanjun who was standing beside him. The other party was obviously quite shocked as well.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Shentong asked directly: "According to the agreement, we will help you find the place where the great Yin Yangzi passed away, and then it will be over. Now the place where the great man passed away is behind this door, so can we leave this world?"

Li Tianshi reached out his hand and stroked the bronze door, chuckling, "Fellow Daoist Meng, all the way here, you haven't even touched a speck of dust, let alone taken action. Is my favor so cheap?"

Meng Shentong's face froze.

Li Tianshi smiled and said, "How vast is the underworld? Rumor has it that Yin Yangzi was unwilling to die suddenly, so in the last few decades before his death, he used the Lingbao Death Gate as a base to build the underworld and frantically studied various poisonous insects in an attempt to escape the constraints of the co-existence and co-death poison. As a result, ghosts and monsters are rampant in the underworld, and demons are everywhere. Ordinary cultivators can hardly move. I still need you to protect me and reach the Yin Yang Tomb safely."

Meng Shentong had a subconscious fear of the space behind this door.

"You also said that Hongye can't break through this door, so what are we waiting for here?"

"It can't be broken, but it can be pushed open normally!" Li Tianshi shrugged and said naturally: "Just wait for someone with strong strength to come."

Among the people who enter the Yin and Yang world together, who is stronger?
There is an answer to this question without having to think about it.

A name suddenly came to everyone's mind.

"Qitian!"

"Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"The lion attacked Li Tianshi in anger. Could it be that Qi Tian was also attacked?"

"There are a total of five Golden Lion Empire ancestors who are cultivating in seclusion in the Yin-Yang Realm. The third and fifth have gone outside, and the fourth was killed by me and the owner of the Hidden Sword Tower. Could it be the Second Golden Lion Ancestor?"

"Qitian doesn't know the immortal method, and he is suppressed by the formation. Will there be any accidents?"

Amidst the discussion, even Master Li Tian had a look of worry on his face.

But he felt relieved when he sensed a certain poisonous insect in his body.

"Qitian is fine, just wait a little longer."

Everyone was half-believing and half-doubting, so they had to be patient and wait quietly where they were.

……

In the endless sandstorm, the ground is covered with golden gravel.

A black figure stood in the middle, and with a wave of his hand, streaks of blood gathered towards him and finally entered a green gourd.

Gudong!

Shaking the gourd, Luo Chen showed a satisfied smile.

This should be the last batch of golden dragon and lion statues nearby.

After he used the dragon-lion crystal core to awaken a large number of them and killed them one by one, he collected a gourd of wild beast source blood.

"I wonder if it's enough to cultivate the Demonic Heart Tree?"

Muttering something, Luo Chen hung the gourd around his waist, straightened his robe a little, then found a direction and flew away quickly.

After a while, Luo Chen stepped out of the Yellow Wind Formation, and the scene before him suddenly changed.

A bronze gate that connected the sky and the earth appeared in his pupils, so majestic.

"Lingbao!"

With just one glance, Luo Chen, with his attainments in casting tools, could tell that this tool was extraordinary.

But he reacted in an instant and blurted out:

"The spiritual treasure is missing, is there a spirit missing?"

At the gate, Li Tianshi and others were already waiting.

Seeing Luo Chen appear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing his excited words, Li Tianshi's eyes lit up, "Fellow Daoist Qi has a good eye. He saw through the details of this sect at a glance."

Luo Chen smiled and didn't explain much.

He had come into contact with Lingbao before.

It is a powerful magic weapon that has developed self-awareness, even more powerful than a real weapon.

Each one of them has power that reaches heaven and earth!
In particular, the Yuan Tu sword in his hand was infinitely close to the spiritual treasure grade. He was so familiar with this kind of treasure after refining it day and night.

Suddenly!

He came back to his senses and asked, "Master Li Tian, ​​could it be that what you want me to do is to push open this door?"

Li Tianshi nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right!"

Luo Chen frowned, "This door looks the same as the previous one, but the difference in rank is too big. Can I make it?"

"It has to work!" Li Tianshi sighed, and then carefully introduced the specific situation of this death door to Luo Chen.

"The Gate of Life and Death is divided into the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death. They were originally one, guarding the holy land."

"Two thousand years ago, the mighty Yin Yangzi was unwilling to die suddenly, so he took the Gate of Death, left the Holy Land, and built the underworld at the location of the present-day Golden Lion Empire to block the connection between heaven and man. Then he studied Gu Dao extensively in the underworld, trying to escape from the joint responsibility of the Gu of life and death."

"But he still has a bottom line. He left the weapon spirit in the gate of life so that the holy land would not lose the protection of the gate."

"And this is our only chance!"

A spiritual treasure without a spirit cannot be considered a real spiritual treasure.

This is also the only flaw of the Death Gate!

It can only passively defend and cannot launch a counterattack.

Luo Chen was puzzled, "Why do you need me alone? Can't others do that?"

The brute force of the physical body is power, and the great power of a monk is also power!

However, Li Tianshi shook his head decisively, "That's different. No matter if we use magic to attack, or magic weapons to push, or even use the magical power of Gu Dao, once we break into the Death Gate, it will be like a drop in the ocean. Only the purest physical strength can push the door open."

As he spoke, he winked at Marquis Zi Yi.

The other party came to the gate without hesitation.

In front of everyone, his magic power surged and the purple light became strong.

After a palm strike, the bronze door did not move at all, as if nothing had happened.

Such a scene made everyone marvel.

Although the palm strike from Marquis Zi Yi was not a full-strength attack, it was definitely not something that an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could easily take on.

But to the gate, it was like a spring breeze, and even the skull on the relief was not damaged at all.

"If you want, you can give it a try!" Master Li Tian said as he glanced at the crowd.

Meng Shentong waved his hand and refused directly.

Bai Xuanjun was eager to try it, but at the suggestion of his companions, he did not do anything useless.

Granny Hongye has been trying, but no matter what formation she uses, it has no effect on this magical treasure, so she has lost interest.

Li Tianshi finally explained: "Originally, the two gates of life and death were combined into one. The circulation of life and death could not only give birth to endless life, but also dissolve all attacks. It was the most solid defense in the world. But as the death gate separated, the life and death energy could no longer circulate, and there was only one flaw. And this flaw can only be grasped by the body cultivator."

As he spoke, he stared at Luo Chen. "As long as you open this door for me, the favor of the Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique will be written off between you and me!"

"Really?" Luo Chen asked.

Li Tianshi nodded and said, "For the rest of the trip to the underworld, I don't need you to do anything. You can even leave the Yin and Yang world directly after opening the Death Gate."

Luo Chen blinked and fell silent.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "I have suffered a lot on the way here, please allow me to rest and recover a little."

Everyone looked at each other and thought of the previous incident when Li Tianshi was ambushed by the Lion. They thought that Luo Chen had also encountered a similar situation.

With tacit understanding, Master Li Tian led the crowd to retreat, leaving Luo Chen with a quiet environment.

After everyone left, Luo Chen casually threw out a formation plate and covered himself.

Grandma Hongye glanced at it inadvertently in the distance, and then her expression was stunned.

"What's wrong?" asked Master Li Tian.

Granny Hongye hesitated and said, "This formation is quite ingenious."

Li Tianshi took a look and nodded slightly, then said meaningfully: "It must be the formation style of Zhongzhou and Donghuang. It is rumored that Qi Tian traveled to other continents in his early years, so it is normal for him to have this kind of collection."

However, within the formation, Luo Chen did not recover his energy as he said.

He glanced around, and the image of the red eyes and golden pupils reappeared.

A pair of sharp eyes stared at the bronze gate in front of him, trying to see some clues.

Gradually, my mind was immersed in it.

The space was broken and covered with spider-web cracks, with drops of pus oozing out of the cracks.

The red moon hangs high in the sky, casting its cold and lonely light.

There is a ghost who is three meters tall but has no skin and roams the earth.

Some people who committed suicide by hanging had air leaking from their throats, making hoarse, hissing sounds.

There are also countless strange-shaped skeletons swimming freely in the sky and on the earth.

It is hard to tell whether it is the scene behind the door or the scene of the Death Door itself.

Shocked, Luo Chen slowly closed his eyes.

"This death door is not simple!"

This is nonsense. If a door to a spiritual treasure can be complicated, how can it not be complicated?

But Luo Chen planned to give it a try!
It was not only to repay the favor of "Hundred Poisons Body Refining Technique", but also to verify his own body refining realm.

But, don’t rush!
Luo Chen closed his eyes and began to regulate his physical condition.

The first thing to do is to control the King of Poisons to retract the toxins all over the body, so that the ubiquitous pain will not affect his performance when he attacks.

Then the source of energy flows throughout the body, allowing the physical condition to gradually reach its peak.

Time passes little by little.

One day, two days...

When three days passed, just when everyone was getting a little impatient, the formation that hid Luo Chen's figure suddenly dissipated.

Master Li Tian's eyes lit up and he flew over quickly.

"Is it okay?"

Luo Chen stood in front of the bronze gate and nodded slightly.

Then, in front of everyone, he exhaled, spoke loudly, and slowly pushed out with one palm.

This is how he pushed open the replica door of life and death before.

Everyone is looking forward to this!
However, when the palm of the hand was placed on the door, the bronze door did not move at all.

"Isn't it possible for Qi Tian?" Li Tianshi frowned.

Luo Chen was not surprised by this. Without thinking, he stretched out his hand again.

Pushing with both hands, the door gradually shook.

At this moment, the skeleton reliefs that had remained indifferent to everyone's attacks suddenly came to life and started to bite Luo Chen's arms.

Luo Chen's eyes fixed, without any evasion, the skull relief continued to devour his vitality.

This was within his expectations after observation.

Without the vitality provided by the life door, this death door will devour the vitality of those who want to break through the door, in order to make up for itself.

How could the physical body of an ordinary cultivator have so much vitality?
I’m afraid that if I inhale it, I’ll become a skeleton!

This is probably why there are so many skull reliefs on the Death Door. Each of them was an unsuccessful attempt to push the door open without knowing their own limitations, but ended up becoming a sacrifice.

Only extremely powerful body cultivators can withstand the horrific consumption of vitality when the door is opened.

And this is actually the main reason why only physical practitioners can use brute force to force open this door.

"not enough!"

"Far from enough!"

Luo Chen's mind flashed with thoughts, and then he growled, "Everyone, get out of the way!"

Everyone was puzzled, but they did as they were told.

The next moment, a horrifying scene appeared.

Luo Chen's robes fluttered and his muscles swelled.

The whole person swelled up rapidly as if inflated.

One foot, two feet...

Ten feet, twenty...

It was not until a giant with a head so tall that one could not see it appeared in front of them that everyone realized something.

"A demon-like transformation?"

"The angry appearance of the Buddhist Vajra, or the transformation of the Taoist giant spirit?"

In a trance, a huge body of several thousand feet tall stood on the earth.

His legs were rooted deep in the earth veins, white clouds surrounded his chest, and the ferocious Yaksha roared towards the sky.

He pushed with both hands, sweeping up the wind and clouds, and landed on the bronze door.

"Give it to me, open it!"

Amid the roar, an immense force surged forth.

No matter how the relief on the death door devours the life force of the giant, it has no effect on it.

Under the pure brute force, the bronze gate made a terrifying roar.

The roar was extremely harsh and disgusting.

But Li Tianshi and others were ecstatic because the Gate of Death was slowly opening!

Behind the Death Gate, roars were heard one after another.

But all of them were completely covered up by the giant's thunderous roar.

at the same time!

On top of a mountain that looked like a monster's horn, two figures were looking at the sky in the distance with great joy.

The clouds hissed and the wind whistled, and the space shook.

Waves of strange movements, like ripples, spread in all directions.

Zhan Bingtao was extremely surprised, "Did you really break through the Gate of Life and Death?"

The leader of Songyang was also a little surprised. He was already fast enough, having conquered the Golden Lion Empire and Unicorn Mountain one after another with the force of thunder. He did not expect that Li Tianshi's speed would be even faster.

However, with his ally in front of him, he couldn't reveal too much of his thoughts.

The leader of Songyang said as if he had expected it: "We have completed our mission. Now it's up to your clan to handle it."

Zhan Bingtao laughed, "Now that the Gate of Life and Death has been broken, the rest will not be difficult. This Southern Border Holy Land clearly has a spiritual treasure, but it does not use it to suppress the spiritual power of the entire continent, but only protects the mountain gate. Now that the spiritual treasure has been broken, all we need to do is give it a push."

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant and said with a slightly respectful look: "Disciple Zhan Bingtao, respectfully asks Patriarch Liancheng to take action!"

The next moment, a faint voice came from the jade pendant.

"it is good!"

This voice is quite young.

However, after the word "OK", there was no further movement.

The leader of Songyang was puzzled. Is that it?

However, an inexplicable sense of horror arose from his soul.

He suddenly looked up at the sky.

I saw a whirlpool appearing in the sky.

The vortex spun rapidly, a large amount of air currents gathered in it, and finally a big hand slowly stretched out.

The big hand is lifelike, every detail is visible, so smooth and white, just like a woman's hand.

However, this hand, at this moment, seems to have the power to destroy the world.

Heaven and earth move for it.

Suddenly!
The big hand trembled, and it slapped towards the Gate of Life and Death thousands of miles away.

boom!
The void trembled, and an illusory portal was forced to appear.

Endless vitality is flowing, but at the critical juncture, it cannot maintain balance, as if a link is missing.

The young voice that came from the jade pendant appeared again.

"Lord Youli, why don't you show yourself?" (End of this chapter)
