Seventy-seven forty-nine days later.
Thousands of blood centipedes in the Blood Centipede Cave all mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a few dead bones and a few swords in the cave, which seemed to bear witness to the fact that the cave's former evil reputation was justified.
Chen Dengming, who successfully refined the blood centipede, had finally settled all the worldly matters in Nanxun Kingdom.
He brought all the preparations he had made for the Immortal Assembly, disguised himself, got into a carriage and set off in a low-key manner.
Some time before and after his departure, some members of the reclusive aristocratic families in Nanxun Kingdom and some old monsters who had been hiding in the mountains and forests for a long time also appeared one after another.
Even inside the palace, an old eunuch left the palace with two princes.
Although these people set out from different locations, they all pointed to one destination—Piaomiao Cliff in the Northern Ice Wind Forest.
...
The centenary period of the Ascension Conference is approaching, and undercurrents are surging in temples and rivers and lakes, but after all, this is only an area that a very small number of people have access to.
All living beings still rest at sunset and work at sunrise day after day, just like the ebb and flow of the tide, unchanged.
Wow——
When a wave surges toward a large river with the wind, a group of fishing boats are like a hundred boats competing on the water waves.
Chen Dengming was wearing a bamboo hat, a black cloak, and a broadsword on his back. He was on a merchant ship, and he mixed with the merchant ship into the fishing boat and set off leisurely.
There are still three months left until the official start of the Ascension Conference.
However, it only took him less than a month to reach Bingfeng Forest, so he was not in a hurry.
He put his hands behind the stern of the boat, facing the north wind, looking at the disappearing pier and the churning river. He had mixed feelings in his heart, and finally became firm.
'簌簌——'
A bloody centipede, only the size of a baby's finger, poked its head out from between his sleeves and along his arm. Its dark eyes were faintly glowing with a pale green light, its back was dark red, and four thin as cicada wings grew inside. The wings and abdomen were light red, and hundreds of small limbs crawled on Chen Dengming's arms, making them tickle.
This is the blood centipede Gu that Chen Dengming successfully refined from the Blood Centipede Cave.
It seems that its body shape is not much different from that of an ordinary centipede, but it has four extra wings and a more ferocious appearance. In fact, its carapace is invulnerable, invulnerable to ordinary soldiers, water and fire, and its vitality is extremely tenacious.
In addition, its two sickle-like mouths contain deadly poison. The tail needle behind its tail and the poison sac in its body can also release toxins, with amazing lethality.
Seeing the blood centipede crawling out, Chen Denming smiled and took out a piece of flesh and blood from the poison sac at his waist and handed it to the blood centipede.
The poison's two sickle-like mouths clamped the flesh and blood, and then it flew into the sleeves.
"It takes forty years to refine a gu, and the day when the gu is completed is the day of success.
Refining this blood centipede... I finally made a breakthrough in the Gu refining chapter, which I had been struggling to break through for a long time, from proficiency to proficiency..."
Chen Dengming looked emotional.
"It is worthy of being a Tao method that is more profound than martial arts. When I first practiced the innate Gangqi secret skill and broke through to the last level, my life span was only increased by two years.
This Gu Refining Chapter is just a breakthrough from proficiency to mastery. My lifespan has been increased from 132 years to 135 years, and I have three more years of good life..."
Chen Dengming was in a happy mood. After a moment of concentration, a panel appeared in his mind.
"Innate Seventh Level Heavenly Warrior [Chen Dengming]
Life span: 82/135
Martial Arts: "General Guide to Chen's Martial Arts" (Dacheng 89/100)
Taoism: "Refining Gu" (Mastery 0/100)"
This panel that appeared in his mind was the golden finger that Chen Dengming obtained after traveling through time.
Before traveling through this world, he was still playing a small game called "Health Cultivating Immortality".
As a result, he accidentally traveled through time and opened a special training panel in the game "Health and Immortality".
However, this panel is different from what he imagined. He cannot enjoy the joy of adding dark blue points. All skills require his own down-to-earth practice to improve, and after learning the skills or improving the skills, his lifespan will be increased.
However, although the panel cannot directly add points to martial arts or Taoism, as long as he practices diligently, his proficiency will increase a little every time he practices.
This is like the welfare rules in the game. As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded. The panel will naturally strengthen his understanding, allowing him to gain many insights and experiences while practicing. While practicing the skills quickly, he will also make himself stronger. The lifespan becomes longer, that is, practicing Qigong will extend your life, until you ask for immortality.
Therefore, over the past eighty years, Chen Dengming can indeed boast that his achievements today are entirely due to his own hard work.
But the only pity is that no matter how many martial arts of the same level are practiced, it can only extend his life once at the beginning of learning and every time he breaks through the realm. The life-extending effect cannot be increased by practicing more martial arts of the same level. Overlay.
Therefore, over the years, Chen Dengming has been pursuing simple martial arts, constantly pursuing higher and more profound martial arts classics and even unique skills, just to extend his life through continuously higher and deeper martial arts.
This is exactly the profound state of coincidence in martial arts: it is neither the wind flag nor the heart, pursuing it all the way.
There are no traces of the white clouds, and they fall deeper and deeper into the cliff.
Intentionally or unintentionally, his state of mind was as traceless as the white clouds, but it naturally flew down the cliff, looking for a higher realm that was deeper than the cliff.
Up to now, he has mastered various martial arts such as boxing, palms, fingers, legs, claws, knives, swords, and spears, and integrated them into a set of "Chen Family Martial Arts General Guide".
At this point, any martial arts in the world, even the rumored nine-yin and nine-yang secret codes, are useless to him, and it is difficult for him to extend his life after practicing.
Just because the "Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline" created by him includes the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu, the Innate Gang Qi and the Vajra Indestructible Zen Kung Fu of the same level.
It can be said that among the eight great Xiantian realm warriors in the world, Chen Dengming may not have the strongest level of strength, but he has definitely learned the most and most profound martial arts, such as three-foot air wall, picking flowers and flying leaves, throwing Sakyamuni elephants, etc Not fine.
However, now that the true immortal is about to come, and the so-called martial arts cannot match the magical power, no matter how strong he is innately, he may be just an ant, Chen Dengming still does not dare to be careless in the slightest.
At this time, the sound of extremely light footsteps approached from behind.
The person who came is a master.
Chen Dengming could only hear the sound of slight footsteps, so no one in the world except the Xiantian Grandmaster could hear the approaching footsteps.
Chen Dengming never turned around.
Because of the sound of "Flow", the visitor was already half-kneeling on the ground and respectfully reported.
"Master, the first batch of the Eighteen Shadow Guards arrived in the Ice Wind Forest one month ago. They searched the Ice Wind Forest for more than a month and still found no traces of magic, not even Piaomiao Cliff. Our subordinates If you are incompetent, please be punished by your master."
"Haven't shown up yet?"
Chen Dengming pondered in his heart and had already thought about it.
He had been to Bingfeng Forest many times in his early years, but he had never found any clues about the magic.
At the beginning, I had suspected that perhaps the area was blocked by formations set up by immortal cultivators, making it difficult for non-real immortal cultivators to break through the illusion.
The so-called misty cliff must be used to describe this cliff as ethereal and difficult to find. It has a sense of fooling the immortal cultivators from above to make fun of mortals.
Chen Dengming originally thought that the Immortal Climbing Conference was about to be held and that special phenomena would occur in the Bingfeng Forest Society recently, but as a result, there has been no movement yet.
"Are there any other discoveries?"
"Master, my master is wise. As you expected, more than a dozen other forces have indeed appeared near Bingfeng Forest, also investigating the whereabouts of Miao Miao Cliff.
The Eighteen Guards obeyed their master's orders and acted in a low-key manner. There was no fight. Some experts wanted to follow the Eighteen Guards to find out the master's identity, but they were solved by the snake poison given by the master. "
"Well..." Chen Dengming said calmly as he pondered, "Can we investigate the identities of all of them?"
"Currently, only a few of them have been investigated, including members of the Nangong family, Shaoyu family, Wu family, and one group, which is suspected to be from the imperial palace."
"oh?"
Chen Dengming's tiger eyes flashed with an unprecedented look, and he chuckled, "These old foxes are just as I expected... They also have invitations in their hands. Go and tell the Eighteen Guards to show less recently. They are all dormant. Get up and wait for my next order."
After waving his hand, Chen Dengming dismissed his subordinates and returned to the merchant ship's bedroom in a low-key manner. He became familiar with the blood centipede and quietly hibernated to practice on his way.
He knew that this was a dangerous moment and he could not rashly reveal that he had an invitation, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
Because this invitation is anonymous.
Once the Ascension Conference begins, no matter what your status is, you only need to hold an invitation to enter. Without an invitation, even if you are the emperor, it is useless to come in person.
Therefore, the invitation is particularly important, and as the eighth grandmaster to enter the innate world, Chen Dengming looks very weak.
Although he possesses Gu skills and is not afraid to fight any innate master, there is no need to be high-profile and cause trouble. The higher he jumps, the more miserable his death. Gou is the king...
