Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

Haoran Temple.

Xuan Mang quickly checked the surroundings of Haoran Temple, and after ensuring there were no other beings with Spiritual Wisdom present, he began to prepare for Chen Qing's descent.

Chen Qing was to continue guarding the Death Realm for another twenty years, so he did not want the news of his return to the mortal world to spread too widely.

This matter was known only to Xuan Mang.

Before coming to Haoran Temple, Xuan Mang opened an ancient scroll, and in just a moment, Chen Qing appeared on the unfolded scroll.

Feeling the Life and Death Pulse Wheel gradually forming inside his Dantian, Spiritual Energy gathered into it, and a wisp of Mana emerged within his Dantian.

Chen Qing was about to sit down cross-legged to properly comprehend the sensations of his breakthrough to the Mystic Gate Realm, to solidify his cultivation, when suddenly, with a creak, the gate of Haoran Temple opened.

A lean Daoist holding a horsetail whisk, with his hands crossed, coldly watched him.

Chen Qing looked up, smiled, and said, "So it's you, second senior brother."

Dan Yunzi said coldly, "I am not your second senior brother."

"Before you enter this door, before you meet our master, you are not yet a disciple of the master."

Chen Qing's expression became solemn, "Second senior brother, we should have no grievances between us."

Dan Yunzi waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, "Before you step through this door, you and I are mortal enemies."

Chen Qing asked, "Why?"

Dan Yunzi replied, "Because you represent a certain possibility, and I do not welcome this possibility."

"Your body is entangled with too much cause and effect, too much slaughter, endless karma, and these things do not belong to Haoran Temple."

"After your arrival at Haoran Temple, the whole temple will pay the price for it."

"On you, I see endless wars, endless killings, and Haoran Temple consumed by an endless inferno."

Dan Yunzi sat down cross-legged, "I will not deceive you, since you are in the Mystic Gate Realm, then I will also use the cultivation of the Mystic Gate Realm to fight you."

"If you win, I have nothing to say."

"If you lose, never step foot in these mountains again. If you enter these mountains again, I will surely kill you!"

"I, Dan Yunzi, always keep my word. Now, you have one day to familiarize yourself with what the Mystic Gate Realm is, what Mana is."

Chen Qing looked up, only to find Xuan Mang had disappeared.

Before Haoran Temple, a great wind rose, as if in heaven and earth there was only Dan Yunzi.

The wind was clear, the sky veiled by clouds and mist.

Dan Yunzi sat in front of Haoran Temple's gate like a God.

Chen Qing took a serious look at Dan Yunzi and had already made a judgment in his heart.

Haoran Temple knew some of the secrets on him, so they knew even more.

Chen Qing hurriedly sat down cross-legged, beginning to seriously feel his current strength, his current Mana.

Spiritual Energy gathered into a torrent, pouring into the Life and Death Pulse Wheel within the Dantian. As the Pulse Wheel began to spin, streams of Mana started to emerge within his body.

This was the power of life and death, transforming Spiritual Energy once again, into even more formidable Mana.

The Mystic Gate Realm had already transcended life and death.

Chen Qing extended a wisp of Mana, now completely different from Spiritual Energy; his Mana contained his mark, filled with the Death Energy, the Netherworld King Energy, the Six Dao Qi.

His entire physical body began to transform from the state of a living dead to that of a living person; that lost vitality burst forth once again after countless compressions in the Death Realm.

His body shone with a dark golden light, and his entire body crackled as it gradually began to transform into the Six Dao Demon God Form.

Horns sprouted from his forehead, the cape on his back bulged, a pair of pale arms with ancient tattoos of Ghost Yaksha emerged from his shoulder blades amid snapping noises.

His neck cracked as five heads of different shapes raised from his neck.

His physique stretched, the waist extremely slender, the lower body elongated, resembling a being with an elephant body and a human face, four more long legs grew from the elephant body, making six feet touching the ground.

His original pair of eyes also changed: one black as the abyss, the other pale.

But Dan Yunzi watched this scene with cold eyes, as if he had anticipated it, not surprised in the least.

Chen Qing lay on the ground in his Six Dao Demon God Form, with hands in front and behind forming seals, turning all the Spiritual Energy inside his body into robust Mana.

After three hours had passed, Chen Qing finally converted all the Spiritual Energy inside his body into robust Mana.

His body was filled with an explosive power, as if he could support heaven and earth.

"Second senior brother, since you wish to fight me, words are superfluous; let the truth be told through our fists!"

Dan Yunzi waved his robe sleeve, stretching out his hand with bent fingers toward Chen Qing and said, "Come!"

Chen Qing tilted his head slightly, adapting to this 360-degree vision. He immediately roared, "Fatian Xiangdi!"

The Six Dao Demon God Form surged, its stature expanding to a thousand feet tall!

At this moment, Chen Qing stood on the ground, yet he was half as tall as Haoran Mountain, where Haoran Temple was located.

Dan Yunzi scoffed and said, "Well then, to make you utterly convinced of your defeat, let me show you what true Fatian Xiangdi is!"

"Fatian Xiangdi, eight times amplification!"

Chen Qing looked up, only to see Dan Yunzi's figure suddenly change, also transforming into a thousand-foot-tall giant, but different from him in that Chen Qing could clearly feel that the other's Fatian Xiangdi Dharma Body was more condensed and stronger than his own!

He had only managed a fourfold amplification of Fatian Xiangdi, whereas Dan Yunzi had achieved an eightfold amplification!

Chen Qing shouted, immediately using the Sky Splitting Skills. His form disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind Dan Yunzi, then threw a punch with the Sky Splitting Fist.
