Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

```

The morning rain pattered on the banana leaves, creating a melodious sound.

Xuanping opened her weary eyes and found herself in a wooden building while a drizzle was falling outside.

It seemed that she had awakened, for Wu Zhao stood at the door but did not enter. Instead, he pointed towards a girl beside him, "Sister, this is Gu Qinghuan, a disciple under Senior Brother Dan Yangzi."

"Senior Brother Dan Yangzi sent her to take care of you."

Xuanping asked, "Are we in Haoran Temple?"

Wu Zhao nodded. Xuanping asked anxiously, "Is the True Monarch willing to see me?"

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Rest assured, the True Monarch has agreed to take my brother-in-law as a disciple."

Only then did Xuanping feel relieved. "I wonder why I fainted?"

Wu Zhao laughed heartily, "Sister, you're pregnant."

"You've been pregnant for half a year. Now the fetus has taken shape and the True Spirit has been born. You knelt for too long, so you fainted."

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Dan Yangzi is a medical genius. He's already checked your pulse, and the fetus is in great condition now."

"Just relax and stay here."

"It's all men here, so it's inconvenient for us to care for you. That's why Senior Brother Dan Yangzi sent his disciple to take care of you."

Only then did Xuanping feel at ease. "I wonder when Chen Qing will visit me in my dreams."

Here, Xuanping referred to Chen Qing, a name Qingxu couldn't hide from the eyes of Haoran True Monarch and King Wu.

After Wu Zhao left, Xuanping reached out to touch her belly, "I already have his child?"

Death Realm.

Chen Qing opened his eyes, brimming with energy. Xuan Mang asked, "Lord Wen, did you sleep well?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly, "Along the way, we didn't encounter any real resistance."

Wei Qingchen said, "Ji Dang is now under pressure from the wolf demons, and Li Chonghuan was severely injured by Lord Wen. Naturally, he cannot stop Lord Wen and make more enemies."

A few days earlier, Hu Yao had returned to the northwest, where the Demon Clan resided.

She had obtained the King Gu and intended to seize the opportunity while Ji Dang was busy dealing with the wolf demons to subdue the Demon Clan in the northwest.

After half a month of hasty travel, they finally arrived in front of the Death Sea.

Wei Qingchen rode a dragon horse before him, pointing his whip to the left, "Lord Wen, to the left is the fallen Chaotian City."

"On the right is Fengdu, guarded by Xu Yaofeng."

Chen Qing waved and called Lu Shenglong, "Have the scouts returned?"

Lu Shenglong said, "It will take a little while longer."

Chen Qing nodded, and the group rested for a while. Finally, two scouts returned, "What's the situation in Chaotian City?"

The scout reported, "Heavy troops guard the area near the fallen pit of Chaotian City, with approximately ten thousand Rat Demons."

Chen Qing frowned, "Ten thousand Rat Demons? Why are there so many?"

The scout said, "Not all are in the Ghost Face Realm; some are even in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Chen Qing recalled the King's Record, "The Sumeru King Gu, it has its own world. It seems the Sumeru Realm has nurtured so many Rat Demons."

Chen Qing looked at the other scout, "Is there any movement from Shang Tong?"

The scout reported, "Shang Tong took advantage of Xu Yaofeng's inability to leave the city and captured Yama City near Fengdu, shrinking his forces for defense."

Chen Qing nodded slightly and said, "Lu Shenglong, put on the Ghost Mask, contact Su Yi, and ask about the current situation in the city."

Soon, Lu Shenglong donned the Ghost Mask and, after two hours, finally took it off.

"According to Su Yi, Feng Qiwu has already noticed they survived in the city, so he sent heavy troops to guard the fallen opening and personally entered the Death Sea, intending to breach Chaotian City and let the Dead Sea Water flood in."

"Fortunately, only Feng Qiwu can enter, and with the Lord Wei's full resistance, Feng Qiwu currently has no solution."

"Oh, and there's good news."

"Nie Fei infiltrated the Rat Demons and could gather information on their movements."

"From the information Nie Fei passed on, the Rat Demons are ambushing at the fall of Chaotian City, with a real force possibly numbering three thousand in the Ghost Face Realm."

"Unfortunately, this was from three days ago. Although Nie Fei is among the Rat Demons, due to Feng Qiwu's extremely strong Divine Thought, which constantly patrols the area, he finds it hard to pass on more information."

Chen Qing said, "Feng Qiwu has been suppressed in the Death Sea for over three hundred years, suffering the whole time. Naturally, his Divine Thought far surpasses ordinary people, and his Divine Soul is extremely powerful."

"Use the Ghost Mask to contact Lu Shen and check how things are on Snow Wolf Lord's side."

Someone went to make contact, but it would take some time to get information.

Like Nie Fei's situation, it was inconvenient.

As Chen Qing stepped to the Death Sea, he scooped up a handful of Dead Sea Water in his hand, heavy as a mountain.

He walked down the beach but was interrupted halfway when an Undying Dragon Cavalry soldier charged into the Death Sea ahead of him.

Seeing this, Chen Qing stopped and let Yu Qing try first.

A cup of tea later, Yu Qing walked out of the Death Sea with heavy steps and cupped his hands to Chen Qing, "Lord Wen, I have tested it. With the Lord Wen's Undying Decree, entering the Death Sea brings some discomfort, but it won't be fatal."

"Also, it feels as if I'm carrying a mountain on my back, making movement extremely difficult!"

Chen Qing nodded slightly, "In other words, we're able to enter the Death Sea."
