Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 422 - 246: Commanding Thousands of Troops, Dominating Alone

Chapter 422 -246: Commanding Thousands of Troops, Dominating Alone

After breakfast, Pan Wu began practicing his arts again in the courtyard. He had long mastered the Flying Sword Skill, yet he still had a long way to go to reach the Martial Arts realm.

As a turtle demon, he was naturally more adept at the Spiritual Energy Shield and Water Control Skills.

Unfortunately, these arts were not very useful on the battlefield of the Death Realm.

After practicing all morning, Pan Wu sat down and picked up a pen to carefully calculate the materials needed for advancing his new Gu contract.

“Sword Gu calculations are the hardest because any of the five elements might be needed.”

“Moreover, according to my calculations, this sword Gu of mine is very likely to require extremely forceful Thunder materials to advance to Thunder Sword Qi.”

“If that’s the case, entering the Death Realm will be more assured.”

After a month of waiting, his turn finally came, but he was defeated in the first round of the competition.

His opponent was from the Iron Country Academy, which had always been exclusively training combat techniques since joining the academy. This was the finest source of soldiers in Nanli.

Pan Wu returned to the courtyard feeling dejected and took out the letters of recommendation written for him by the military and Wei Yilong. “Could it be that I really can only continue my studies at the academy?”

“I just can’t accept it…”

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

When Pan Wu opened it, he was surprised to see that it was Chen Dan who had come to find him.

Pan Wu quickly cupped his hands in salute, “I see you, sir.”

Chen Dan got straight to the point, “I’ve reviewed your situation at the academy. Now, I have something extremely important to do. Will you help me?”

Pan Wu asked, “Sir, what you have to do must be significant. I don’t know if I have the capability.”

Chen Dan said, “I’ve looked at your situation, and you should have a Butterfly Transformation Fire Gu, right?”

Pan Wu nodded, “You are correct, sir.”

Chen Dan said, “That’s good. Come with me to contract an Alcohol Gu as well. I need to mobilize a large number of good hands at Foundation Establishment to conduct an experiment.”

“If we’re successful, the entire cultivation world of Nanli will step into a whole new era.”

Pan Wu remained curious, “What exactly is it?”

Chen Dan earnestly replied, “Alchemy!”

“It’s the perfect blend of fire and herbs, composing a hymn of cultivation together.”

“My father wrote the Gu Book, solving the problem of Gu’s difficulty in advancing.”

“And I want to try to see how to solve the problem of slow cultivator progress.”

Hearing this, hope rekindled in Pan Wu’s heart, “I’m ready to follow your orders, sir!”

The Death Realm.

Fengdu.

Chen Qing sat in the main seat, listening to this meeting.

Feng Qiwu was defeated, and because of this war, all the generals recalled had been redeployed to the front lines or to take control of Feng Qiwu’s territory. Thus, not many people were present at this meeting, only Yan Sisi, Su Yi, and Qing Ran.

Su Yi reported, “According to reports from the human world, this time we have supplemented the Death Realm with nearly two thousand soldiers!”

Chen Qing questioned, “So many?”

“By ordinary calculation, there should only be a bit over a thousand.”

Su Yi saluted with a smile, “This time, because Haoran Temple issued a decree, all Foundation Establishment cultivators in Nanli have responded together. Disciples from the four True Monarch Sects and many South Sea immortal islands have been dispatched.”

“Moreover, aside from the Water Country, royal families of various countries have also sent their Foundation Establishment subordinates, resulting in such a sizable force.”

Yan Sisi asked, “What about the Mystic Gate Army?”

Su Yi replied, “The Mystic Gate Army has almost entirely entered the Death Realm this time!”

Chen Qing stated, “Inform the human world that all cultivators entering the Death Realm are permitted to comprehend under the Feather Transformation Immortal Tree for one month!”

Su Yi nodded, “Yes, Lord Wen!”

Chen Qing turned his head and looked at Qing Ran, asking, “Has that batch of Merit been delivered?”

Although Qing Ran didn’t know who this batch of Merit was for, he replied, “Yes, Lord Wen, it has been delivered.”

Yan Sisi was a bit curious, “Brother, that batch of Merit was extraordinarily large; who exactly was it sent to?”

Chen Qing smiled, “Our new allies.”

“As soon as they completely absorb this batch of Merit, the final battle will also be about to commence.”

“Qing Ran, it’s been ten years, how is the collection of items from the Da Yan cultivators you’ve been tasked with?”

Qing Ran saluted, “We’ve confirmed over a thousand people, though some items remain unclear as to their owners.”

Chen Qing nodded slightly, “That should barely suffice.”

“I will make a trip to Chaotian City. This place will be in your hands.”

“Lu Shenglong, Zhang Can, Yan Bailiang, and Nie Fei are attacking the Rat Demon’s territory. After any new updates come from there, report immediately to me.”

With that, Chen Qing flipped his cloak behind him and rose to leave the Council Hall, mounting the Green Bull and leading the Undying Dragon Cavalry towards Chaotian City.

Chaotian City.

Chen Qing walked in, and Wei Qingchen quickly came to greet him. Chen Qing asked, “Is everything ready?”

Wei Qingchen replied, “I report to Lord Wen, everything is ready.”

Chen Qing nodded slightly, “I’ll first go inform them in a dream, be prepared to welcome them.”

Chen Qing then sat cross-legged in the inner city, and after a brief moment of entering a dream, he opened his eyes again.

In no time, both of them saw a giant Ghost Gate appear on the empty plaza. Yu Qingshuang was the first to step out, followed by Zi Tao and Lv Kuang.

Disciples of the Sword Travel Palace flew out on their swords, their celestial beauty like immortals descending onto the mortal world.
