Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

The royal palace of the Water Country is located on Ming Zhao Lake.

Ming Zhao Lake is a vast inland lake where, at sunrise in the early morning, a supremely bright Great Sun is reflected in the waters, hence the name.

The royal palace of the Water Country is overall a shade of azure blue. Its founding monarch was an extremely dashing and suave king, so the palace also took on a somewhat romantic flair.

However, at this moment, it had become somewhat decadent.

Amid the relentless rain, the city was filled with the moans of women everywhere.

Chen Qing, however, felt no pity. Here, he only had enemies, whether they be people of the Water Country or clones, all were his enemies.

Chen Qing stood outside the city walls, waving his hand and his sword. His longsword appeared above the head of a clone a hundred miles away, severing the revolting creature squirming on top of a woman with a single strike.

To others, it looked as if a crack had opened in the Void, and from it, a hand emerged, wielding a sword to kill.

After absorbing a vast amount of Void Power from numerous clones, Chen Qing's control over Void Power had further strengthened, already enabling him to slay hundreds simultaneously!

With a wave of his Void Sword Slash, a hundred Sword Gangs could appear behind the target at the same time.

It didn't take long for people in the city to realize that something was wrong, some had witnessed Chen Qing's actions with their own eyes.

"What on earth is going on?"

"It's Chen Qing, Chen Qing is here!"

"Report, Chen Qing has already slain over three hundred people within the city!"

"How is that possible, how did he do it?"

"Is he really just at the Mystic Gate Realm?"

"No, he has mastered more of the Void's power!"

"If this continues, our only path is death!"

"We need to unite like the Chaos Sect!"

No sooner had someone finished speaking than they turned into a corpse.

Their speed of discussing couldn't keep up with Chen Qing's speed of killing.

In just a short moment, immense panic arose. Numerous clones sought to flee the city, turning into patches of the Void in an attempt to escape this place.

However, in front of Chen Qing, who had initially grasped Divine Authority, these were all futile efforts.

Chen Qing looked up at the expanse of the Void, and wherever his gaze landed, a Lu Chen would appear within that patch of the Void, slaying its master.

More and more Void Authority coalesced around Chen Qing, and he gradually comprehended the second style of the Void Annihilation Finger: Void Ten Thousand Tribulations!

Amid the continuous downpour, the Void Gate behind Chen Qing opened. The Void spread at an alarmingly swift rate, engulfing thousands of miles in radius and devouring all the Voids within it.

With a single thought from Chen Qing, Lu Chen was shuttling through these Voids, relentlessly slaying, from instantly killing hundreds to instantly killing thousands!

Chen Qing reached out towards the last remaining Void, "Void Ten Thousand Tribulations!"

All clones hiding in the Void felt a terrifying intent to kill locking onto them. Void Flowers bloomed upon them, and then descended as strands of calamity.

In just a short moment, purple lightning streaked through the Void, tearing apart everyone.

Chen Qing controlled the range of the Void Ten Thousand Tribulations, gradually blanketing the entire Water Country's royal palace. The palace, as if turned into a painting, shattered in an instant, cleaving open crevices, within which was filled with purple Void Qi.

Shortly after, the palace lay in ruins, not a sound could be heard anymore; everything headed towards death.

Before the shattered palace, No. 9 appeared beside Chen Qing, "I never imagined that the True One Slash could become so formidable."

Chen Qing said, "I gave Miao God a gift, and in return, He added some special abilities to my True One Slash."

No. 9 said, "It seems I have no authority to make a trade with you."

"We had thought that you would need our help to quell this catastrophe, but now it seems that nothing requires our assistance."

Chen Qing blinked his purple eyes, "If you can turn back, I will grant you a mortal dream. I accept this deal."

He pushed open the Void Gate before him, "Let's go, I will take you to the Sword Travel Palace."

He stepped through the gate, and No. 9, without any hesitation, followed him. Lu Chen, as he was now, had no need to deceive them.

No. 9 felt like a mere speck in the ocean compared to Chen Qing, insignificant.

One step out, and they arrived before the mountain gate of the Sword Travel Palace.

At the gates of the Sword Travel Palace, Chen Qing's senses spanned the universe, spreading throughout the eighty thousand miles of the starry sky around the Sword Travel Palace. In his perception, the Sword Travel Palace had no God, only seven Sword Masters.

Four were True Monarchs, and the other three Sword Masters hadn't even reached the level of True Monarchs.

Upon Chen Qing's arrival, wherever his senses reached in the starry sky, burst forth Infinite Light. Many disciples of the Sword Travel Palace, bathed in the Infinite Light, suddenly felt their cultivation skyrocket.

Chen Qing looked towards the main hall of Sword Travel Palace and strode towards it. Before the main hall, Chen Qing also saw Lu Chen and an old man.

Lu Chen now bore no hint of his former arrogance. Upon seeing Chen Qing, he respectfully bowed, "Congratulations to my lord for reclaiming divine power!"

The elder also bowed his head, "I am the Sword Master of Reincarnation, welcoming the return of the Void Master!"

Chen Qing scrutinized the two, and his purple divine eyes brought them immense pressure, "Why do the other Sword Masters not come to pay their respects?"

"Do they look down upon me?"

Lu Chen quickly sought forgiveness, "The Palace Master is still in seclusion, and the Three Thousand Sword Master is guarding the dreamscape."

"As for the other three Sword Masters, they have not yet ascended to True Monarchs and have not sensed the great changes in the world that signify my lord's return."
