The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

"Rainy days are truly murderous weather..."

Zhu Yu's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was walking slowly in the mountain stronghold. An invisible force of attraction spread rapidly from him.

Threads of invisible "Spiritual Ruins Origin" surged together and rushed into his body.

In just a few breaths.

Within the "Dao Foundation," more than a dozen "Spiritual Ruins Origins" had accumulated, and as the stench of blood in the air grew stronger, the number of "Spiritual Ruins Origins" continued to increase.

"Taihu Lake is a wonderful place..."

Zhu Yu smiled slightly and looked at the "Hall of Gathering Righteousness" in the center of the mountain stronghold.

next moment.

"How dare you!"

"court death…"

Two angry shouts rang out in succession. The next moment, the doors of the "Hall of Righteousness" swung open, and two figures rushed out, stirring up two long streams of water mist. In an instant, they arrived at the location of the "Peerless Sect" disciples who were slaughtering the "Qingfeng Village" bandits.

boom…

A sound like muffled thunder exploded, the wooden house burst open, and more than a dozen disciples of the "Peerless Sect" dressed in black robes were sent flying and crashed heavily onto the muddy ground.

A burly man, half-naked with muscles bulging like a board, and a young man with a sinister face and red pupils appeared. Accompanied by the surging aura of the "Dao Fruit Realm", two divine words, one black and one red, manifested above their heads.

Zhu Yu looked at him, and his meaning became clear.

The black divine incantation is called "Golden Bell Shield," and the red divine incantation is called "Iron Refining Hand." They belong to the "Martial Arts" category of divine incantations. Although they are not very mysterious, they are very practical.

Warriors who display such divine pronouncements often come from "martial arts schools," or are servants or assassins trained from childhood by aristocratic families.

It's unclear whether the two are the former or the latter.

Just as Zhu Yu was sizing up the two, the second and third leaders of Qingfeng Village saw that people dressed in black robes were constantly gathering around them, and the aura they exuded was all at the Divine Realm. They felt a strange sense of familiarity, and as if they had thought of something, the surging blood and qi in their bodies suddenly stopped.

"Damn it, another sect disciple training session..."

"We all ran to Taihu Lake, why are these people still haunting us..."

The two exchanged a knowing glance, their hearts turning to retreat.

Well known.

These sect disciples who go out to gain experience are the most troublesome.

Losing is fine, but winning will only lead to endless pursuit. If you accidentally kill someone, congratulations, you'll be hunted down by their sect elders.

The three brothers were originally living a carefree life when they accidentally killed a disciple of a sect who was out on a training mission. They were then pursued by the sect's elders and fled into "Taihu Lake".

Unexpectedly, before they could have had a few days of peace, they encountered disciples from a sect who had gone out for training. Judging from their age and number, the power behind them was no weaker than the sect they had provoked last time.

"Damn it..."

Seeing that the number of people gathered in the stronghold exceeded five hundred, the second and third leaders of "Qingfeng Village" felt a chill in their hearts. With so many disciples from "sects" coming to the dangerous "Taihu" for training, no one would believe that they were not being protected.

Just then.

"kill!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and the disciples of the "Peerless Sect" swarmed towards the second and third leaders of "Qingfeng Village" like locusts.

"Walk!…"

Without a second thought, the two leaders turned around and rose into the air when they suddenly heard a clear, emotionless voice saying "No airspace allowed."

next moment.

Suddenly, the two felt an irresistible pressure falling from the sky, and they involuntarily plummeted downwards. Fortunately, they were not far from the ground, and they moved their bodies lightly and landed steadily on the ground.

But they showed no joy whatsoever; instead, their faces were filled with fear as they dodged attacks from the "Peerless Sect" disciples, their eyes constantly darting around.

The young man with a sinister expression, who was also the second-in-command of Qingfeng Village, couldn't help but shout hoarsely:

"Senior, I surrender, I surrender, please spare my life..."

There was no response, only the relentless attacks and the occasional screams of agony from the bandits of Qingfeng Village.

The two men felt their spirits plummet to the bottom of an abyss, but they still refused to give up. They cried out hoarsely, "We are willing to be your vanguard, senior, to find a trial ground for your esteemed disciples. Please spare our lives, senior..."

But after a dozen or so breaths, no word came.

Instead, they felt the attacks from all sides growing increasingly fierce. Even though their cultivation had reached the "Dao Fruit Realm" and they had refined their Qi and Blood True Qi, they were starting to feel like they were about to be unable to withstand the onslaught.

"kill!…"

Realizing they couldn't save their lives by begging for mercy, the two men's eyes flashed with malice. They no longer held back, roared, and unleashed their strongest techniques.

The second-in-command's hands turned crimson, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. A hissing, corrosive sound could be heard. Any "Peerless Sect" disciple who touched him felt a burning sensation, their skin and flesh charred black. A fierce fire poison, like a long worm, eroded into their bodies, forcing him to divert most of his blood and energy to suppress it, thus drastically reducing his strength.

Meanwhile, the third leader's height increased by several feet, and his entire body turned the color of black iron, gleaming with a metallic luster. He neither dodged nor avoided, but withstood the attacks from all sides, and with a desperate fighting style, he sent one person flying with a single punch.

He knocked dozens of people away in succession, and no one dared to get close to him. They only dared to hold weapons and walk around him.

The two fought and retreated simultaneously.

Before arriving at the "Hall of Righteousness," they shoved aside the people who surrounded them and rushed into the living room. When everyone looked over, they found that there were no two people in the hall, but a dark passage extending downwards appeared in the place where they had been.

"This…"

The group looked at each other, none of them daring to take the risk.

They weren't stupid. Outside, they could outnumber the enemy, but the passage was narrow and couldn't accommodate too many people. If the second or third leader of Qingfeng Village ambushed them from inside, they weren't confident they could come out alive.

At this time.

The crowd spontaneously parted to create a passage, and Zhu Yu stepped to the cave entrance, glanced around, and then his divine sense spread downwards.

It went a full hundred feet deep.

A spacious cave came to mind, and the second and third leaders of Qingfeng Village stood in front of a bronze door, banging on it and looking up at the passage from time to time, their faces showing anxiety.

Observe the shape of his mouth.

The unseen leader was inside the bronze door.

Zhu Yu tried to look into the bronze door, and immediately sensed a simple warning array. With his current mastery of arrays, he easily bypassed the array and saw inside the bronze door.

The space inside the door is not large, less than ten square meters.

Large piles of gold, silver, and jade artifacts were stacked like garbage, and in the center sat a warrior with thick eyebrows and large eyes, absorbing vast amounts of "human prestige" with each breath. Most of the skin showed a dazzling golden glow.

The clanging of the bronze door startled the leader of Qingfeng Village, who was immersed in his breakthrough. He opened his eyes, looked down at the mottled gold marks on his arm, and his face was gloomy and ugly.

"Damn, so close..."

"pity…"

Having taken in the entire situation, Zhu Yu shook his head slightly and waved to his sworn brothers and sisters, saying:

"Clean up Qingfeng Village thoroughly."

"Yes, brother."

Everyone naturally understood what he meant by "cleaning up," their eyes gleaming with malice as they turned and left. As for the three leaders of "Qingfeng Village"? Having witnessed Zhu Yu's strength along the way, they were not worried about his safety at all.

Zhu Yu did not linger and stepped into the cave. Upon arriving, he saw that the bronze door was wide open, and the second and third leaders of Qingfeng Village were kneeling on the ground, talking to a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He chuckled softly and muttered to himself:

"I wonder how many 'Spiritual Ruins Origins' can be found in the 'Dao Fruit Realm'..."

"Um?"

Just as the three leaders were wondering what he meant, the figure suddenly became blurry. In the sight of the Qingfeng Village leader, who was only half a step away from entering the fourth realm, Zhu Yu's figure floated over like a ghost.

next moment.

A fist, as bright as gold, came into view and grew larger and larger.

"The Golden Body Realm?"

The leader of Qingfeng Village was startled and subconsciously activated his half-crippled "Golden Body," raising his hand and punching out.

clang…

A resounding sound, like a great bell, echoed outwards, and a violent shockwave spread outwards from the two of them. The second and third leaders of Qingfeng Village, who were kneeling on the ground, were knocked over by the shockwave and scrambled to hide in a corner.

"Not the Golden Body Realm?!... "

"The Martial Arts Golden Body is indeed the prototype of the Golden Body..."

Upon their first exchange, both men gained a sudden insight. Coming to their senses, they resumed their fight, their true energy scattering, each punch landing squarely, the clanging sounds of blows echoing endlessly…

In a very short moment.

Zhu Yu's body shimmered with golden light like flowing water, and his momentum grew stronger with each strike.

On the other hand, the leader of Qingfeng Village, The skin is covered with dense, purplish-black spots, all of which are in areas not covered by the gold.

He dared not fight Zhu Yu again. He flashed into the bronze door and came out again. He had a bright white long knife in his hand and a white divine word appeared above his head.

【Water Dividing Blade】

Unsurprisingly, it was also a divine saying about "martial arts".

Zhu Yu glanced at him, his gaze falling on the gleaming longsword in his hand, sensing the "Origin of the Spirit Void" contained within it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Another artifact of the origin..."

"die!"

With his longsword in hand, the leader of Qingfeng Village exuded an imposing aura. He stepped forward, his arm gripping the sword suddenly swung down, and the divine word "Water-Dividing Blade" above his head flashed. The blade quickly extended into a chilling light nearly ten feet long, accompanied by a sharp whistle, and slashed straight at Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu felt a stinging pain on his skin and dared not endure it. He took a light step and retreated rapidly. At the same time, he drew his longsword "Qingyuan". The sword flashed and wrote a line of characters in the air.

"Kill one man in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles."

In the darkness, a dazzling blue light descended, instantly condensing into a wandering swordsman riding a white horse, heading straight for the leader of Qingfeng Village.

"What is that...?"

When the leader of Qingfeng Village saw that Zhu Yu had summoned someone, he was surprised for a moment, but then a sinister smile appeared on his face. He raised his arm and slashed down at the approaching wandering swordsman.

Just as he was imagining splitting it in two, its figure disappeared, replaced by a crescent-shaped silvery-white light.

We passed each other by.

The chief of Qingfeng Village took two quick steps, then suddenly stopped. He lowered his eyes slightly, and a curved, blood-red line came into view. He was startled, then his eyes filled with a grimace, and he murmured:

"Such a precise and swift strike..."

Clang...

The long sword fell to the ground, splitting in two, its red and green fragments scattered across the earth, and a mist of blood rose up, emanating the aura of a perfected "Dao Fruit Realm" cultivator's fall.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Yu raised his hand and grabbed a snow-white longsword and a crystal-red heart, which he then examined briefly before storing them into his "Dao Foundation".

His gaze immediately fell on the second and third leaders, who were looking terrified in the corner. Before they could beg for mercy, a crescent-shaped light flashed, and the two men froze, their eyes gradually becoming dull and lifeless.

After looting the spoils, they turned and returned to the ground.

Returning to the living room, he released his divine sense and found that there were no living people on the island except for his sworn brother and sister. He gathered the remaining "Spiritual Ruins Origin" into his Dao Foundation. After counting, not counting the three leaders, he found that clearing "Qingfeng Village" had brought him nearly two hundred "Spiritual Ruins Origin".

This is only because the large head was "devoured" by Yulou and others through "divine words," otherwise the number would have increased many times over.

"If we cultivate them all to the 'Fifth Realm,' then..."

Looking at his sworn brother and sister who were looting the storeroom, Zhu Yu's eyes were filled with a dark and sinister thought. The moment the thought appeared, his face turned deathly pale.

After taking several breaths to catch my breath, I finally came to my senses, my eyes filled with helplessness.

"They won't even let me think about it..."

Sensing the tremor of the divine words, he quickly cleared his mind of distractions, stepped out the door, and was just about to greet his eight hundred sworn brothers and sisters when his expression suddenly changed. For no reason, a surge of fierce anger welled up in his heart.

"Um?"

He paused for a moment, as if he had learned something, and looked up at the sky.

"Has it started...?"

After staring for a few breaths, a sense of urgency arose in his heart. Coming back to his senses, he looked at his eight hundred sworn brothers and sisters who were puzzled by the sudden appearance of anger. Without saying a word, he distributed half of the "popularity" he had gathered over the past month and left behind the words, "Stay here for now and focus on your cultivation." He then turned and returned to the secret chamber.

When Liu Peisan and the others sensed the golden cloud the size of a millstone above their heads, they were all stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but swallow hard and muttered:

"That's too much..."

As if realizing something, they all looked to the side. When they saw the shock, joy, and inquiry in each other's eyes, they immediately understood that this was not unique to one person, but shared by everyone.

After understanding, the group felt a vague sense of fear for some reason, and at the same time, they understood why the "Sect Leader" wanted them to leave the sect to cultivate.

Zhu Yu's reputation for this share of the profits is comparable to that of a "true disciple," so one can imagine how much of a sensation it would cause within the sect.

The crowd was filled with mixed thoughts and couldn't say anything for a moment.

We lingered for a few breaths.

They dispersed and silently found a place to cultivate.

……

Nightmare State.

The riots in the "City of Otherworld" resulted in heavy casualties among those who sought refuge in the Nightmare Continent, with less than one in a hundred surviving.

Rumors spread like wildfire.

Some say the "City of the Otherworld" is leaving, some say it's fighting with others, and others say some "otherworld" wants to seize the "Lost State," and so on...

therefore.

This attracted a group of people looking to make a fortune and search for potential treasures.

A barren hill somewhere.

A group of people were walking briskly when suddenly they noticed that the sky and earth seemed to have become a little brighter, and they subconsciously looked up.

Then I saw that I didn't know when.

A large, blue sun appeared in the sky.

One of them thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked up again. Seeing that the sun was still there, he couldn't help but look at his teammate beside him, his voice trembling slightly as he said:

"Did you...see the blue sun?...?"

The group snapped out of their daze and nodded subconsciously. Then, a sudden realization struck them, and a bad feeling crept into their hearts.

Suddenly, someone shouted:

"Look, what's that?... "
