Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 174: Entering the Tomb (Part 1)

Afterwards, they saw many ghosts wearing golden armor, which were obviously of a higher level, but they had all died under the swords.

When they passed a blood lake, they found that there were also creatures lurking in it, but they seemed to be scared by the previous people who killed them, so they did not rush up to attack them.

After a full hour, Gu Chi and Lao Hei finally arrived at the end of this ancient underground city.

The scene here is completely different from what I have seen before. The evil aura has been swept away, and it is bright and clear, with all kinds of divine lights shining brightly.

Looking around, a holy and beautiful palace is located in front of you, blooming with auspicious rays of light and surrounded by wisps of divine mist.

The surrounding area is lush green, with many jade trees and exotic flowers and plants growing on it.

"It's really strange. How can such a palace shining with holy light have nothing to do with a ghost nest?" Gu Chi felt a little strange. The contrast between the past and the present was too great.

A man and a dog climbed up the stairs, and the jade steps under their feet were filled with auspicious clouds.

As they walked into the first palace, a rich spiritual energy immediately hit them.

Sparkling and glittering, all the objects in this palace are carved from rare and beautiful jade.

"Explore separately to avoid attracting attention." Gu Chi took the lead and walked forward.

Lao Hei shook his body and became even smaller, only about a foot long. Like a black cat, he sneaked around in the palace complex and explored quietly.

Inside the first palace, the ground was covered with blood. Many monks had died in accidents, and their bodies were almost all smashed to pieces. In addition, several powerful ghosts were chopped in half.

These ghosts all had a pair of bat-like membranous wings on their backs, which were two meters long and had a metallic texture. Gu Chi tapped them with his fingers, and they actually made a clanging sound like metal.

"It seems peaceful, but there are still these evil spirits haunting it. It can't be a good place."

Gu Chi hesitated for a moment and continued walking inside. The floor of the second palace had turned into a pool of blood, enough to cover the ankles. In addition to the corpses of many monks, there was also a giant python with black and gold stripes.

The giant python lay dead, and half of the blood in the palace came from its body, smelling extremely fishy.

Gu Chi found the cuts left by the Dragon Swallowing Black Spear on the giant python's body, which shows how terrifying the combat power of Shen Tu Ling was in his prime.

When Gu Chi walked into the third palace, a silver light suddenly attacked.

Gu Chi rolled up his sleeves and flicked his hand, and with a loud "bang", a huge monster was thrown away.

This was a ferocious beast with a hideous face, its body shining silver, and a pair of silver wings. It let out a sharp roar and pounced forward again.

This beast looked terrifying and ferocious, but half of its body had been beaten to pieces and it was already dying.

Gu Chi slapped the beast with his backhand, like a huge seal that could overturn the sky. With a "bang", the beast was smashed into pieces and turned into a ball of silver light and disappeared.

There are more than twenty such ferocious creatures in this palace, all of which have reached a level comparable to that of a mid-stage Golden Core, but they all died at the hands of the descendants of various transcendent forces.

The strength of those so-called geniuses can be seen from this.

Not long after, Gu Chi walked into the fourth palace. It was filled with the corpses of human monks, piled up in every corner of the palace, and the air was filled with blood mist.

"Hey, this is..."

Gu Chi showed a look of surprise. While searching the storage bags and usable spiritual weapons and magic tools, he found six very special corpses.

The six men were all wearing Taoist robes, with dry skin wrapped around their bones, like old dead wood, and short hairs growing on their bodies.

Although it is in human form, it is definitely not human.

Gu Chi touched them with his hands and found that these people's bodies looked skinny, but they were heavy as a thousand pounds and as hard as gold and iron.

"A body like this is no less powerful than mine, yet it still can't escape death..." Gu Chi was shocked.

When we arrived at the fifth palace, there was not even a place to stand. The ground was covered with blood, flesh, mud and white bone fragments.

Gu Chi's heart trembled. What on earth had happened in this palace? Did everyone who had entered before die here?

"What is that?" Gu Chi noticed that there was a place that was glowing. He stepped forward and found three very special broken bones in the blood and mud, like crystal jade.

"Jade Bones..."

Gu Chi was quite surprised. She had heard before that when the physical body reaches a certain level, the 206 bones will undergo metamorphosis.

It transforms from copper bones, iron bones, silver bones, and gold bones, and finally reaches jade bones.

For example, those who practice pure physical cultivation pursue the goal of cultivating jade bones throughout their lives.

"Anyone who can cultivate Jade Bones must be a great power in the world. How could such a person perish here?"

After exiting the palace, Gu Chi vaguely heard the sound of fighting, which was still far away from here.

Without stopping, she walked towards the sixth palace, which was a bright and dazzling hall that sparkled in the dark underground world.

This is also the last palace of Gu Chi that has not been explored. It is very far away. From afar, it looks like it is suspended in the air, very ethereal.

Gu Chi could not hide his excitement. It must be an extraordinary place. The Nine Secrets of Tianyuan might be there, and there might also be other amazing treasures.

Lao Hei moved with great agility, following closely behind.

After walking for several hundred meters, Gu Chi felt an extremely strong pressure, which made him tremble uncontrollably.

"It's the Lord's weapon! Someone actually brought this kind of weapon in..." Gu Chi's eyes rolled around, and she had evil thoughts. If possible, she wanted to snatch this Lord's weapon away.

The sound of fierce fighting came from the palace. Obviously, a fierce battle was going on there. Even the powerful weapons such as the Lord's Soldiers were used, but there was still no sign of it stopping.

Gu Chi did not rush over immediately. He and Lao Hei stopped at a distance and waited quietly, preparing to go in after the people inside had fought almost enough.

"boom"

The entire underground world was shaking violently, but the sixth hall was shining brightly, without any signs of collapse, and it still stood there steadily.

"what is that?!"

Gu Chi suddenly cried out in surprise. At the end of this magnificent palace was a dark area, where three huge monsters could be vaguely seen.

"It seems like... three tombstones!"

Gu Chi and Lao Hei were both shocked. The smallest of the three tombstones was as big as a palace, and each one was more majestic than the other, standing tall in the darkness.

"Six ancient palaces and three tombstones together make up exactly nine. The ancients were very particular about the number 'nine'. Could there be any connection between them?" Gu Chi pinched his chin thoughtfully.

"boom"

At this moment, there was a sudden violent earthquake in the palace in front, and then it became quiet all of a sudden. The pressure of the Lord's soldiers decreased sharply, and slowly returned to calm.

Gu Chi's heart moved, and he said, "I think the fight is almost over. Lao Hei, hurry up and prepare for action!"
