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

Upon hearing this...

The group subconsciously looked up and saw a dense blue color suddenly erupt from the center of "Blue Sun," like ink drops in water, rapidly spreading in all directions.

In just a few breaths.

As far as the eye could see, everything was a deep blue, even the sun was obscured, leaving only a single blue sun hanging high, radiating an indescribable, eerie glow.

"Well…"

One person wanted to say something, but suddenly felt his throat dry, and his voice got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything. Before he could check, he felt itchy all over his body, so itchy that it was maddening. He subconsciously wanted to scratch, but suddenly he couldn't feel his arms.

He panicked for a moment, trying to look down, but found his neck stiff and unable to move. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the turmeric-colored wood grain on his palm.

"ah?…"

He felt a pang of panic, and his dry eyes looked at his teammate in front of him. A human-shaped tree covered with lush green buds came into view.

"Tree?…"

When he saw the tattered clothes hanging from the treetops, he immediately understood what was going on. Strangely, he found that he felt no anxiety or panic, but rather a strange warmth, as if he had returned home.

My thoughts began to wander.

A wave of drowsiness washed over me, and my consciousness slowly sank into darkness.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

Numerous tender green shoots sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. In a short while, the spot was deserted, leaving only five oddly shaped saplings with tattered branches.

above the sky.

Dozens of streaks of light emerged from the azure sun, manifesting in mid-air as figures of various shapes and sizes. Their gazes, as if they were real, swept across the land and were quickly drawn to a colossal city with towering walls and skyscrapers.

"Huh..."

"Is this the 'Martial World'?..."

"What a strange city, devoid of any life, instead filled with an eerie magnetic field..."

When Shangguan Dazu, the Sword Peak Master, and others saw the giant city, they were all somewhat puzzled. Some Foundation Establishment cultivators even used puppets and other methods to investigate its direction.

"Is that the wondrous object that injured 'True Lord Qingping'...?"

Zhu Yu looked at the highly modern city with doubt in his heart. When he saw other Foundation Establishment cultivators using their methods to investigate, a strange light flashed in his eyes. Without lingering, he rode his escape light straight in a certain direction.

His action drew the attention of the others, who all reacted with varying expressions.

Cang Li, Cang Hai, and the young man in yellow recalled what Zhu Yu had said earlier, exchanged a glance, and then rode their escape lights to follow him.

The three who had advanced from the subordinate Foundation Establishment stage to the "Qingping" Foundation Establishment stage did not linger and fled together in the opposite direction.

The woman, whose skin was covered in sword scars, turned and transformed into a fierce sword light, then fled in a certain direction.

The remaining twelve "Qingping Native" Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged glances.

A woman dressed in green with an indifferent expression waved her hand, rode a cloud, and led a middle-aged man with a head as big as a bucket and a burly man away.

"We dare not delay the sect leader's orders, let's go..."

Shangguan Dazu nodded slightly to the former Sword Peak Master, and then led Shangguan Jiang in a certain direction.

The remaining six people.

The three headed towards the "giant city," clearly very interested in it. After exchanging a few words, they parted on bad terms.

The eastern border of Yanzhou.

A faint streak of light suddenly appeared, hovering before the border. It manifested as a handsome and refined young man with gentle, warm eyes. His gaze pierced through the barrier, which was rapidly thinning like ice melting into water, revealing a vast, verdant wilderness.

Information about it came to mind.

"Yongzhou".

Just as its name suggests, "Yongzhou" is not as prosperous as Jiujiang, nor as martial as Linhaizhou and Juyezhou.

Located on a plain with fertile land and countless fields, it was originally the most important continent of "Da Yu", without exception.

However, as "Da Yu" expanded into "outer regions," it plundered freedom and enslaved the people of those regions to cultivate land and grow food to supply "Da Yu."

The status of Yongzhou, once known as the granary of "Dayu", plummeted. In just a hundred years, it went from being the most prosperous region to a roadside town.

According to the information gathered by the distraction.

The current governor of "Yongzhou" is an old prince from the royal family of the Great Yu Dynasty. He failed to support the Dragon Court decades ago, but survived because of his "Five Realms" cultivation level. However, he was also expelled from the central government of Great Yu.

It is said that he suffered a severe injury and had been recuperating in the state capital, but his condition never improved and instead worsened, and his death was not far off.

This was one of the reasons he chose to attack "Yongzhou".

Another point is that "Yongzhou" produces grain and has been at peace for a long time, so its military preparedness is lax, making it undoubtedly easier to conquer compared to other regions.

A thought flashed through his mind, and as if sensing something, Zhu Yu turned his head to look, only to see three streaks of light arriving one after another, revealing Cang Hai and the others.

Seeing the three people looking slightly embarrassed, he chuckled and said, "If my three junior sisters and brothers don't mind, how about we join forces?"

"it is good."

Zang Hai nodded hurriedly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhu." Cang Li's pale face was filled with a smile.

The young man in yellow bowed with gratitude in his eyes.

Zhu Yu waved his hand dismissively. With three people helping him, although he would share in the credit, the risks would be reduced by several times.

Just a few words.

Inform the three men of the most important three counties in Yongzhou: Huangliang County, Mizhi County, and Yaoxiang County, and let them choose.

Cang Hai, Cang Li, and the young man in yellow glanced at him in surprise, but did not ask how he knew the news or inquire about the other six prefectures. They looked thoughtful.

Zang Hai spoke first, "Li-mei, Junior Brother Fu, how about leaving 'Huangliang County' to me?"

Of the three prefectures.

Compared to the other two counties, Huangliang County was the least important, the weakest in terms of military strength, and the safest.

"it is good."

Cang Li and the young man in yellow owed her a favor, so neither of them objected when she spoke up.

After speaking, feeling the strange gaze from Zhu Yu, the young man in yellow changed his expression for a moment, turned around, and bowed deeply to Cang Hai and Cang Li amidst their surprised gazes.

"Wishing you well, Master..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yu raised his hand to interrupt, "We are both at the Foundation Establishment stage, Fellow Daoist Fu, there's no need for this. If you're thinking of our past relationship, calling me Senior Brother is enough."

That's right.

The young man in yellow was none other than Fu Hongxi, who had mysteriously disappeared.

It is unknown what circumstances led him to join the "Qingping Tower" and even seize a "position" among a group of powerful individuals, thus breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Fu Hongxi straightened up, nodded, and smiled, "Senior Brother Zhu." Then, he turned to Cang Li and said, "Fellow Daoist Cang Li, how about leaving 'Fragrance of Medicine County' to me?"

Thank you.

"Yaoxiang County" is the most powerful of the nine counties, so Cang Li had no reason to disagree and readily agreed.

Seeing that the three had made their assignments, Zhu Yu reminded them, "Don't underestimate the warriors of 'Da Yu'. Their 'divine words' are often unpredictable, so be very careful..."

Although one will not truly die even if killed by a "Da Yu" warrior, one's death will consume a large amount of the original power of one's "Life Spirit Void". In fact, if too much is consumed, it will damage the "Life Spirit Void", thus shortening one's lifespan.

The three of them naturally understood the implications and nodded solemnly.

Zhu Yu nodded, not saying anything more. With three people in front of him, even if the old prince made a move, the chances of him coming for him were less than one in ten, which was enough.

Lost in thought.

The faint barrier that had been in front of the four people vanished silently.

"Walk."

The four exchanged a glance, stepped out of Nightmare Continent, and immediately sensed a malice approaching from all directions, but just as it was about to touch them, it suddenly dissipated like a gentle breeze.

Looking up at the sky, a wisp of blue hangs high above.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance, and then Cang Hai, Cang Li, and Fu Hongxi rode their escape lights and soared into the sky, each finding a direction and disappearing in an instant.

Instead of using his escape light to leave, Zhu Yu had a slight thought, and wisps of cloud and smoke appeared out of thin air, manifesting as a bronze gate three feet high.

The door was wide open.

Four beams of light emerged from the source: one red, one white, one blue, and one black. They manifested as Hong Youfu, dressed in a long red robe like a wealthy official; Qiao Hewei, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit with a sharp and piercing aura; a whale, resembling an iron tower with prominent horns; and Meng, dressed in a black robe and black turban, revealing only his eyes.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Greetings, Lord."

The two people, a dragon-man, and an abyss spirit, greeted each other respectfully.

Zhu Yu waved for him to stand up, then looked at Hong Youfu and Qiao Hewei, sensing their vibrant energy, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile:

"This attack on the 'Martial World' is fraught with danger, but the opportunities are equally great."

After speaking, he raised his hand and tapped lightly, sending information about the two counties, "Ziye" and "Gelan," especially information about their "family backgrounds," into their minds.

"Go then, and whatever you gain depends on your abilities."

"Yes, sir. I shall take my leave."

Hong Youfu and Qiao Hewei's eyes lit up. After exchanging greetings, they rode their escape lights, one heading straight for "Ziye County" and the other heading straight for "Gelan County".

At this time.

The bronze door flashed.

Then, Xiaoqing, dressed in a purple spider robe, walked out with an air of indifference, with Xiaoqi sitting on her left shoulder, peeling an orange for her, and Xiaoyu standing on her right shoulder.

Upon seeing Zhu Yu, she rushed over and pressed her cheek against his, then looked around with curiosity mixed with eagerness.

"Master, is this the 'Martial World'...?"

"Yes."

Zhu Yu nodded, patted her head, and said with a smile, "I'll let you try the local snacks later."

"it is good."

Xiaoqing nodded vigorously. Upon hearing the news, Xiaobai curiously poked its head out, called out "Master" in a crisp voice, and looked around curiously. When it saw that there were weeds all around, it shrank back.

Zhu Yu looked at the bronze gate, and with a slight thought, a large amount of light was thrown out from it and landed on the ground, manifesting as Tu Yu people holding knives and spears and wearing leather armor.

Accompanied by a noisy screeching sound.

The open space was filled with countless "Fish People," whose smooth heads, resembling a combination of lizards and fish, were visible at a glance.

If counted carefully, there are nearly a million people.

After the "Dragon Warriors" appeared, and after long-term training, the chaotic voices of the "Fishmen" gradually quieted down.

Looking at these cannon fodder, Zhu Yu's eyes were filled with expectation. He raised his hand and waved, "Let's go." After saying that, he nodded slightly to the whale.

"roar…"

A blue light emanated from the whale's body, accompanied by a deep roar. A dragon's head, as large as a carriage, as thin as a skeleton, and covered with ferocious bone spikes, broke through the light, followed by its slender body covered with black scales, wing-like bone spikes growing from its spine, and a fish-like tail.

Wait until the inspiration completely dissipates.

A ferocious black dragon, about ten zhang long, appeared on the spot and bowed its head to the ground.

Zhu Yu stepped onto its head.

"roar…"

The black dragon, transformed from a whale, swung its tail and soared into the sky, hovering in mid-air. It bared its ferocious fangs and roared at the millions of "Tuyu people" below.

"Squeak..."

The million "Fishmen" trembled for a moment, and then, urged on by the leader, the captain of the Fishmen Spellcasters, they gradually dispersed from a ball of fur into a long line, like hyenas, rapidly moving through the grass.

midair.

Zhu Yu stood atop the whale's head, following at a leisurely pace.

Meng followed behind, leading Xiaoqing in a boat.

……

The Nightmare Continent is known as the Lost Land and the Land of Ominousness.

Centered on it, there was no human habitation for miles around.

When millions of "tuffians" climbed a seemingly endless hill and looked down, the neat patches of ginger yellow looked like yellow gemstones inlaid on the earth.

And among these "gems".

Scattered among them are villages with smoke rising from their chimneys, and one can vaguely see carriages and horses coming and going, traveling along the official roads through the fields.

"Squeak..."

Whether they discovered humans or were attracted by the aroma of grains, without being urged, millions of "smurfs" roared and rushed down.

at this time.

The farmers in the fields vaguely heard something, straightened up, and looked in the direction from which the sound came. Looking into the distance, they saw only a barren mountain ridge with nothing else.

For a moment he was puzzled, then looked away and was about to continue working when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. He turned his head sharply and saw a hideous head that looked like a fish or a lizard.

"What the hell is that...?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and then he felt a pain in his throat. Looking down, he saw a long, waxy white pole being held in the hand of an ugly thing with a grinning mouth.

As blood flowed, his eyes gradually dimmed and lost their light, and soon he fell silent.

Other directions.

The screams that rang out one after another woke up some busy farmers, who all turned to look and saw the "Tuyu people" wearing leather armor, wielding knives to slash and shoot people.

They froze for a moment, then, their faces filled with terror, they shouted, "The monster is coming!" and threw down their hoes and sickles, turning and running away.

But their speed was nowhere near that of the "Tu Yu Ren" who had generated spiritual energy within their bodies and stepped into the extraordinary realm. They were killed before they could run more than two steps.

In a very short moment.

The fields on the edge of the neighboring "Nightmare Province" were deserted, except for "Tuyuren" dressed in leather armor and carrying knives and spears. They were plucking unripe wheat grains and stuffing them into their mouths, chewing them heartily, as they gathered towards the nearby village.

When the first "smearman" appeared at the village entrance, it was immediately spotted by someone resting under a tree. Startled for a moment, they scrambled into the village, shouting in panic:

"Monster is coming! Monster is coming..."

"What monster?"

"Li Sanlaizi, are you still half asleep...?"

When the villagers heard his words, none of them believed him and they all made jokes. But to their surprise, Li Sanlaizi, who always shamelessly asked for food under the pretense of guarding the village, was still shouting "The monster is coming!" and running towards the back of the village.

"Could there really be a monster?... "

A villager had a thought, shook his head, and turned around. Just as he was about to say something to the villager, he saw two strange-looking creatures holding long knives walk out of the earthen house at the entrance of the village, one after the other.

The long sword was stained crimson and was still dripping blood.

"Li Sanlaizi wasn't lying, there really are monsters...!..."
