Tao and Heaven

Chapter 190: Wen Renwu's death, the immortality elixir leads to

Having witnessed the ugliness of the two semi-immortals Xuan Yue and Chi Ling, their obsession with becoming immortals, and their madness for transcendence, Gu Wen became disenchanted with the power of spiritual practice.

These people are all vulgar people, even more vulgar than ordinary people in the market.

Now Wen Renwu’s frankness surprised him. How could he, a True Lord, be more free and easy than a Half-Immortal?
Gu Wen smiled and said, "The general really has the demeanor of a cultivator. I wonder if the cultivators from outer space are like you?"

"Are you really a mortal who has become an immortal?"

Wen Renwu's bloodshot eyes lit up slightly. After Gu Wen nodded in confirmation, he laughed and said, "There are both good and evil cultivators. There are profit-seeking ones, aggressive ones, and those who are afraid of death. In the vast universe, you can see all kinds of people. Cultivators have no manners. They are all mortals."

"But if you want to find brave men who are not afraid of death, go to the border. There are many villains there, but few who are afraid of death!"

“Where is the frontier?”

"Eight thousand miles to the west, you can see the tops of Jianmu trees, which is the border."

“I’ll go see the frontier someday.”

The two collided again. Wen Renwu slightly lowered the Zhanxia Sword and said, "There is a demon-slaying banquet in the borderland. It is held every hundred years. The demon hunters are paired with cooks to cook the demons and offer sacrifices to the ancestors. The top ten will be rewarded with elixirs, the top five will be rewarded with spiritual treasures, and the winner will be given a noble title."

"Is a mere reputation worth a spiritual treasure?"

when!
Gu Wen changed his moves, and the hundred-foot-long sword light of the Zhanxia Sword shook Wen Renwu away.

The sword steps are driven by the true meaning of swordsmanship, and the divine thoughts transform into millions of spiritual swords.

Like feathers, or even more like rain, spiritual swords fell from the sky.

Wen Renwu's legs were like a galloping war horse. He avoided the magic sword and stepped on holes in the ground as he moved.

He waved his heavy halberd, his blood and energy flowed like an ox and his breath was as strong as a tiger.

"This is the place where I was born. Everything is false, only fame is higher! If you want to talk about demeanor, I think the holy land of the Taoist sect is cold and quiet, the underground cave of the Demon Sect is unfathomable, and the Buddhist sect is majestic and sacred, but they are not half as good as the men from my frontier!"

A halberd was swung across the sky like the setting sun, and the blood-red murderous aura of war pierced through the rain of swords.

Wen Renwu took a leap forward and arrived in front of Gu Wen in an instant, his arms bulging with muscles and holding the heavy halberd high.

"You are not as manly as you once were. Come down with your broken sword!"

boom!
Gu Wen was suddenly hammered to the ground, the ground shook slightly, and the dust in the sky rose up like a huge wave for more than ten meters. Wen Renwu took advantage of the victory and pursued him, swooping down with the might of killing, suppressing the dust that had just been raised.

when!
There was the sound of weapons clashing, the air waves swept away the dust, and the figures of two men were revealed.

The three-meter-long golden man held a heavy halberd in his hand, his body shaped like a gilded sun, and a red dragon transformed from the killing method was hovering above his body and shoulders.

"Golden Light Spell?"

Wen Renwu showed some surprise. He naturally recognized the golden man who was known as the best fighting god in the world, but he did not expect that Gu Wen had mastered it.

His Yuqing Dao foundation has already reached the level of a human immortal, but his golden elixir has nine transformations?
"General, what does it mean to be a man?"

Gu Wen's voice became grand and carried an inhuman divinity through the Golden Light Mantra.

Wen Renwu grinned and said bluntly, "Of course it's a long weapon. What kind of man is he if he uses such delicate things?"

These words could make Xiao Yunyi chop off his head, and could also make all the sword practitioners in the world draw their swords in anger.

The dispute between sword cultivators and other military cultivators became more intense after they reached the top of Zhejian Mountain.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Everyone wants to be the first and the leader.

"Then today, I will use this precious thing to ask for advice on the great general's might!"

The Zhanxia Sword in Gu Wen's hand turned into a nine-zhang giant blade. With one swing of the sword, it seemed that it could push down a mountain range and smash Wen Renwu away.

Taoist soldiers can be big or small, and can cut through clouds up to nine feet high.
-
Far away, outside the battlefield.

Yu Hua held a wisp of light yellow divine consciousness in his hand. The divine consciousness of the Dao Emperor was gently rubbed by his jade fingers, becoming more and more slender.

The Daojun Emperor, a supreme celestial being with the strength of a semi-immortal, had no room for resistance in the hands of the goddess.

The rest of the people were all shocked. Jun Yan and others were not ordinary people, but in front of the power of immortals, they were no different from ordinary people.

Now that we see that Emperor Daojun is so weak, we have some comparison and can get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Even a powerful person like Emperor Daojun is still an ant in front of an immortal. A half-immortal is only a half-immortal and cannot match the power of an immortal. For a giant, there is essentially no difference between a mayfly and an ant.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still look as charming as ever."

When Emperor Daojun's voice came out, Yu Hua just glanced at it with the corner of his eyes, and continued to watch the battle below, and said lightly: "You are old and will die soon. You put half of your life into the furnace, and you will die if you don't refine the elixir of immortality."

This old man is of the same generation as the two uncles in the sect. He is no more than three thousand five hundred years old. He has reached the Dao realm and his lifespan can reach over eight thousand years.

But when Yu Hua saw him for the first time, he could tell from his decrepit face that this old guy had gone completely crazy and had thrown all his lifespan into the alchemy furnace. Now he only had a few decades left, or even less.

In the past, there might have been a way to remedy the situation, and it was not impossible for someone to live to be a thousand years old within ten years of his natural lifespan.

However, under the catastrophe of life span, human life span cannot beat the life span of nature. All methods of burning life span are only at the expense of the life span of nature. In the final analysis, human life span is only the blood, health, five qi and other things that can be restored.

"You are going to die. You could have been the emperor of the human race, but it's a pity that you gave up."

"Death is the same whether it is early or late. If you do not become an immortal, living for ten thousand years is vain. The position of the emperor is also vain. Apart from becoming an immortal, all others are mortals."

Emperor Daojun was indifferent, as if he didn't care about how long his life span was.

"If I have any regrets, I only regret that I didn't recognize this rough diamond at the beginning, and suffered the thoughts of my blood relatives and hoped to cultivate a mediocre talent."

Yu Hua turned his head and looked at the divine thoughts on his fingertips. He chuckled with disdain and said, "Do you call this regret? You just realized that you will be surpassed by Gu Wen in the future, and this future will not last too long."

"This is the calamity of becoming an immortal. I could have avoided it, but I naturally regret not avoiding it."

"Do you think Gu Wen was born to meet the needs of the times and to meet the calamity?"

"No, you are."

Emperor Daojun's words were somewhat unexpected. He continued, "You were born at a right time. The destiny of the human race allowed you to inherit the foundation of Qingcang. This is not your fortune, but Qingcang's fortune. You are the daughter of destiny. You should have devoted yourself to the prosperity of the human race, but you are favoring Gu Wen, who is still an ordinary person."

"Times make heroes. If it weren't for your unexpected action, he might have become the nourishment of my son."

If Yu Hua followed the original plan, with Dao Zong and Da Qian working together, there wouldn't be too many problems. But Gu Wen showed up, and Yu Hua fell out with various forces because of him, and finally he was forced to become the top of the Earth Ranking.

Gu Wen is very talented, but without Yu Hua, he would end up being just a house slave.

"So you can't make it onto the Heavenly Ranking, Zhao Sanming."

Yu Hua heard the other party's hidden meaning, and his clear eyes showed even more disdain, and even a hint of pity.

"If it is true as you said, it is not my fortune that I can use the power of my master, but my master's fortune. Then it is not his fortune that I found Gu Wen, but my fortune. You know nothing about the top of the contemporary Earth Ranking."

The city lord of the two worlds has existed in heaven and earth for countless Yuanhui. He also wants to help Gu Wen reach the top of the list. However, Emperor Daojun feels that Gu Wen has no self and will only become Zhao Feng's nourishment in the end.

How ridiculous and how sad.

At that time, Gu Wenzhi's life had been exploited to the extreme, and the Zhao family no longer paid much attention to him. With his loach-like nature, he could definitely run away if he wanted to.

Yu Hua was sure that even without him, Gu Wen would still rise. He would just have to go through more hardships, just like the saying goes, "God has bestowed a great responsibility on this person."

His character will not stop because of a little tempering.

"Zhao Sanming, it's your honor to be in the same place with the two of us for a mediocre person like you. Just wait and see, then we'll talk." In the distance, a heavenly sword crushed the clouds, and a huge blade fell from the sky like a mountain range.

Gu Wen's figure rose up like a light feather, and he put his index and middle fingers of his left hand together to form a sword finger, which he gently placed three inches in front of his thin lips and nose tip, and his smile was like flying flowers.

"General, I am already invincible beyond the third realm. If you continue to suppress me, I will die."

"Hahahahaha! Don't humiliate me. Today, I will compete with you for supremacy."

Blood continued to seep out of Wen Renwu's fists as he looked up at Gu Wen in mid-air, the supreme body of the Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir Saint, the true understanding of the sword way of heaven and earth, and the foundation of the way to become a human immortal.

There was no fear in his eyes anymore. He wiped the blood from his nose and stood firm in the world with the Baizhang Bingdao Golden Man.

"When you reach the summit of heaven and earth one day, you should also remember my great strength today."

Rumble!
The sword from the sky slowly dropped down, the soldiers stood with their swords raised, and the earth began to crack.

In just a moment, Wen Renwu's whole body began to crackle and explode, his muscles broke, his meridians burst, and every inch of his muscle was trembling.

Using ordinary methods to fight against the three great methods of becoming immortal, the power of the Heavenly Sword is definitely not something that an eight-five-dao master can contend with.

However, at this moment, life and lifespan no longer matter, everything can be risked.

Wen Renwu was born in the frontier, and was known for his cruelty. People like him were not heroes, but they could be heroes. In a place where humans and demons fought each other, the most abundant thing was death, and death was common to them.

But fame is extremely rare.

The Taoist geniuses, Buddhist disciples, Demon saints and the like have nothing to do with them. They are just warriors on the frontier.

Wen Renwu's eyes were blazing with fire, his three souls and seven spirits were burning out, his blood and energy were erupting like earth fire, and the rolling murderous aura supported the Heavenly Sword.

"Get up for me!!!"

With a thunderous roar, the golden man slowly opened the Heavenly Sword, and his momentum reached its peak in the extreme state.

Gu Wen looked down at Wen Renwu from his high position, memories of his dying struggle in the past flashing through his eyes.

At that time, he had completed the third level of Dao foundation, and Wenren Wu had completed the 84th level of Dao foundation. He was a child who had just started practicing, and he was the top True Lord of the time.

Now that he has switched his offense and defense, he has already reached the top of the Earth Ranking, and Wen Renwu is still the top True Lord in the world.

Wen Renwu is undoubtedly stronger than before, but unfortunately it is far from enough. His growth is not even one-tenth of his own.

"You've already risked your life, and this is far from enough."

Gu Wen pressed his hand downward, and the Heavenly Sword was like a hot knife into grease. In an instant, the golden man was pierced through. The Heavenly Sword pierced straight into the ground, and the earth broke into countless pieces.

If you are invincible after three levels, you are no longer invincible if you try your best to catch up.

The hundred-foot soldiers slowly disappeared. Wen Renwu's eyes widened. His blood began to cool down at this moment, his magic power stopped surging, and all his thoughts turned into a sigh.

Gu Wen landed on the ground, but he did not kill the man. Instead, he saw the man's life slipping away at a very fast speed.

The black hair turned white, the skin aged rapidly, the eye sockets became sunken, and a burly man turned into an old man in just an instant.

Burning lifespans is not that serious, because Gu Wen acted very quickly. If lifespan is compared to physical strength, then it is impossible for a person to exhaust his physical strength with one punch.

The elixir he talked about that could improve his realm consumed most of his lifespan.

The reason why Akabane's Xuanpin is called a magical power is because he can improve his realm five times without dying.

Gu Wen suddenly realized something, walked closer and said, "It seems that the general has followed the wrong master."

“Hehe.” Wen Renwu collapsed on the ground, looking at the dim space, and said: “How can I say I am wrong for giving you a second life? I thought I could use my own abilities to crush your aura, but now it seems that even an 86th Dao Base can hardly win.”

Gu Wen was even stronger than he thought. Given that they were both at the fifth level of perfection, it was almost impossible for him to defeat Gu Wen, who had three levels of immortality. Even if he used the extra level of perfection, it would actually be of no use.

The sixth level of perfection is the perfection of the Nascent Soul. The number of times the Taoism is performed depends on the mana, and the power depends on the soul. The stronger the soul, the more solid the Taoism will be when the mana is condensed.

Those with great supernatural powers can condense magical power as vast as a mountain into a needle, which is also called supernatural power.

"I might be able to save you."

A white-headed bird popped out of Gu Wen's arms. The elixir of immortality could increase his lifespan and it was the only thing that could save him.

Wen Renwu no longer had the energy to investigate, and said with a weak smile: "I'm afraid I can't afford this price."

"You can afford it. All you need to do is betray the court and join the Nanchun Army. This will bring Daqian one step closer to death."

Gu Wen stated a very simple request. With Wen Renwu's reputation, his disappearance could give the already shaky Daqian a final blow.

If they join the Nanchun Army, the entire Daqian will side with them.

Gu Wen was determined to rule the world. He didn't want the bird's throne, but he wanted the spiritual creatures in the immortal land. The dog emperor could obtain thousands of years of heavenly marrow in one month, so ten months would be enough for him to become an immortal.

Wen Renwu shook his head and said, "This is the price I cannot pay. Your Majesty has been unjust to me, and I cannot allow myself to become unjust as well."

"Pedantism."

After Gu Wen made this comment, he put away the white-feathered bird and no longer planned to give it to Wen Renwu.

Although they have no mortal hatred, it doesn't matter. If he is completely useless to himself, it may cause trouble. Wen Renwu should just die here.

He does not have the ambition to be a prime minister, so he cannot capture Wen Renwu three times.

Seeing this, Wen Renwu showed no regrets, and said in a weaker voice: "Perhaps, haha. But since he is so ruthless, I should let him know the role of harmony. Do you know that the emperor is refining the elixir of immortality?"

"Of course." Gu Wen became interested. He had always been curious about how much Heavenly Marrow Emperor Juice the elixir of immortality that cost so many medicinal herbs was worth.

"Thirty years ago, the elixir of immortality was started, and the first medicine to start the furnace was the elixir of immortality."

As soon as these words were spoken, a powerful divine aura attacked from behind, but disappeared in just a moment.

Gu Wen looked back and saw Yu Hua standing behind him without him noticing, and the Dao Emperor's divine consciousness in her hand had disappeared.

She said, "Go on."

".Before the furnace was opened, there was a mysterious man who often met with His Majesty. Then one day a battle broke out in the palace. When I arrived, I only saw His Majesty throwing a severed arm into it. He told me that this was the elixir of immortality."

Wen Renwu's breath was getting weaker and his eyelids were half closed, but he still insisted on finishing his words.

"In fact, the elixir of immortality requires a whole immortal medicine. From the beginning, we had no intention of cooperating with your Dao Sect. Do you have any other questions?"

Yu Hua asked, "Is the Immortal Elixir male or female? What does it look like?"

"I don't know. He was always wearing a large cloth robe." Wen Renwu shook his head. "He was silent and had no realm, but he must have been strong to have injured Your Majesty. Especially at that time, Daqian was at its peak and it was in the palace."

Gu Wen plucked a feather and wanted to lean over to throw it at Wen Renwu, but the old general gritted his teeth and did not let go until his last breath.

Just like how he tried his best to improve his strength by force by not using any elixirs.

It turns out that not all monks are laymen.

Gu Wen put the elixir of immortality into his mouth and felt the throbbing of forty years of celestial marrow and destiny.

[If you are destined to become an immortal, you will need to reduce the time by another 80 years. The required time for heavenly marrow is 9,400 years.]
