As Gu Lao talked about the past, he began to complain.
He admitted that without the cultivation of the Dark Alliance, he would not have been able to achieve the level of cultivation he has today, let alone develop a masterful Tianji technique.
But he also paid a lot for the Dark Alliance.
During these thousands of years, he has used the secret technique many times to make inferences for the top leaders of the Dark Alliance and help them make major strategic decisions.
There is a price to pay for using the magic of heaven to make deductions.
Although the top leaders of the Dark Alliance thought of many ways to help Gu Lao avoid the backlash of the secret and reduce the price he paid.
But after so many years of accumulation, he still paid a heavy price and suffered extremely serious injuries.
Gu Lao's path in this life is completely hopeless, and his lifespan is running out.
He has exhausted all available life-extending means, but none of them can prevent death from coming.
Meng Zhang was surprised when Gu Lao said these inner thoughts in front of Meng Zhang, a stranger he met for the first time.
He followed Gu Lao's words and praised Gu Lao for his hard work and achievements, and expressed regret for Gu Lao's situation.
The Void Returning Power has a lifespan of nearly 10,000 years.
Of course, due to different personal circumstances, the difference in life span is still relatively large.
The cultivators have established their rule in Junchen Realm for less than ten thousand years.
If elders like Gu Lao who established the secret alliance branch of Junchen Realm have good health care methods, they should not have reached the age of exhaustion of life span.
Due to the backlash of Heavenly Secrets, the lifespan of Tianji masters is often much shorter than that of monks of the same level.
Maybe it's because things of their own kind do not harm their own kind. Meng Zhang did have some sympathy for this rare fellow Tianji master, and he also had some resonance with his words.
Based on Gu Lao's contribution and importance to the Dark Alliance, the Dark Alliance will do their best to extend his life.
It's a pity that even with the background of the Dark Alliance, it is impossible to continue to extend his life, and Meng Zhang is even more unthinkable.
While talking, Gu Lao asked about Tai Miao's origin seemingly casually.
The relationship between Taiyimen and Taimiao seems to be very clear, but in the eyes of discerning people, the close relationship between the two parties is no secret.
With the means of the dark alliance, it is not difficult to know that Taimiao and Taiyimen are closely cooperating.
Since meeting Gu Lao, Meng Zhang has never relaxed his vigilance towards him.
Gu Lao mentioned Taimiao seemingly casually, but Meng Zhang did not care. He still gave the standard answer. Taimiao and Taiyimen had cooperated before, and it was purely a relationship of interest. The two parties now have basically no contact.
The Taiyi Sect didn’t know much about Tai Miao’s origins, except that he seemed to be a ghost from the underworld, and was introduced to Meng Zhang by Ghost Shouwang, a senior of the Taiyi Sect who had passed away.
Other than that, everyone in the Taiyi Sect had no further understanding of him.
It seemed that Gu Lao was really just asking casually, not entangled in this topic at all, and soon started talking about other things.
Every word and action of people like Gu Lao had profound meanings, and Meng Zhang did not dare to ignore them in the slightest.
He was thinking in his mind, why did Gu Lao ask about something too wonderful?
After the True Lord Yuanshen in the world of cultivation loses his physical body and only the Yuanshen remains, the Yuanshen can enter the underworld and transform into acquired ghosts and gods.
However, such acquired ghosts and gods will have drastically changed personalities, and the upper limit of their cultivation level is basically locked.
In the process of Tai Miao's conquest of the underworld, his acquired ghosts and gods frequently participated in the battle, exposing many of his roots.
Compared with their former lives, the acquired ghosts and gods under Tai Miao have little change in personality, and they do not seem to be subject to too many shackles, and their cultivation has improved rapidly.
Especially after the Supreme Sword God General and several other Dharma Protector God Generals broke through the Void Return Stage, it showed that acquired ghosts and gods can also be free from the shackles of innate nature as long as they have the help of Tai Miao.
Although Tai Miao now rules the underworld, his rule over the underworld is definitely not strict.
Among his men, there must be ghosts and ghosts from the day after tomorrow who are still secretly communicating with the forces of the Yang world.
It is simply unavoidable that some of Tai Miao's special abilities will be exposed and spread to the world.
Could it be that Gu Lao wanted to use Tai Miao's power to transform into acquired ghosts and gods, so he was so interested in Tai Miao?
As soon as this idea came into his mind, Meng Zhang rejected it.
After the True Lord Yuanshen transforms into the acquired ghosts and gods, his lifespan cannot be extended.
If it is the kind of true king of Yuanshen whose life span is about to run out, because the Yuanshen will become weak subsequently, it is impossible to withstand the transformation process, let alone transform into acquired ghosts and gods.
The most important thing is that Gu Lao is not the true king of Yuanshen, but a powerful person who can return to the void.
In the history of Junchen Realm, there has never been a time when the power of returning to the void has been transformed into acquired ghosts and gods. Even if Tai Miao became the overlord of the underworld, he would not have such ability.
According to common sense, as soon as the powerful Yang Shen enters the underworld, he will be rejected by the rules of the underworld and unable to gain a foothold here.
If he didn't want to transform into a ghost or god the day after tomorrow, then why would Gu Lao pay attention to Tai Miao?
It has only been a few thousand years since cultivators established their rule in the Junchen Realm. Many of the Junchen Realm's great void-returning powers have died, but those who have died due to exhaustion of lifespan should be extremely rare.
After the void-returning power Shou Yuan naturally comes to an end, the Yang Shen imprint placed deep in the Junchen Realm will slowly disappear, and there will naturally be no possibility of rebirth.
Meng Zhang had heard and seen with his own eyes that too many monks had done extremely crazy things because their lifespan was exhausted and they were about to die.
Gu Lao was probably going to die soon, so he went to the doctor in a hurry because of his illness, right?
Tai Miao cannot help Gu Lao, and Meng Zhang is even less likely to reveal his true relationship with Tai Miao.
Gu Lao said that it was rare for him to see a fellow Tianji master who was as skilled as Meng Zhang.
He made no secret of his admiration for Meng Zhang and expressed his kindness generously.
Gu Lao's sympathy and sympathy seemed to have infected Meng Zhang, and he and Gu Lao chatted more and more enthusiastically.
Seeing that Gu Lao was in a good mood, Meng Zhang tentatively asked about the dark alliance.
Except for some too confidential information, Gu Lao answered most of Meng Zhang's questions readily.
Meng Zhang even mentioned how he helped Master Chu Hui capture the strange dragon.
Without Meng Zhang asking, Gu Lao took the initiative to tell the purpose of the strange dragon.
First, the tricky dragon can refine the tricky dragon Taoist weapon.
The Taoist Soldiers are excellent assassins and can easily kill ordinary Yuanshen True Monarchs.
If their number is sufficient, they can even pose a threat to the great power of returning to void.
Secondly, a special skill practiced by Master Chu Hui requires the use of materials such as the strange dragon.
The quick-tongued Gu Lao even took the initiative to reveal the secret method of refining the Taoist Weapons of the Jiao Jiao.
It was beyond Meng Zhang's expectation that Mr. Gu was so friendly.
Meng Zhang wanted to ask for information about the Mysterious Mansion, but he hesitated and gave up.
He did not let down his guard because of Gu Lao's friendly attitude.
To him, Gu Lao was always a stranger.
And since the Dark Alliance organization can collude with the devil, it is not worthy of his trust.
