Chapter 968

Mengqi had no idea what the Lord of Longevity's background was like, but he knew that he was not an ordinary person to be able to make a name for himself in the ancient Celestial Court, where immortals and gods abounded.

At this moment, his head split open and the distance between his eyes widened. He looked at Mengqi and Gu Xiaosang. His frozen eyes were not filled with shock, astonishment, despair, or fear, but emptiness and indifference. It was as if death could not affect his emotions, or perhaps he could not react in time.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes made Meng Qi's hair stand on end, no matter how knowledgeable and fearless he was. However, he couldn't care less about that now. The "creepy figure" in the Peach Garden had already stuck close to his back and was exhaling cold air, stimulating his neck!

At this point, the sense of danger had climbed to its peak. Mengqi dared not take any risks and treated it as his last resort. He exerted strength in his forearm and stabbed Heaven Inflicted Pain backward. It trembled continuously, forming a contrast between Yin and Yang. The two drew on each other and produced bolts of lightning of extreme Yang. They condensed on the blade and formed several thick layers of purple lightning.

The purple lightning moved forward and converged at the tip of the blade!

"Boom!"

The lightning exploded and the will of extreme Yang surged toward the rear, destroying the evil and invincible.

However, Mengqi only felt that his long saber had stabbed empty air. As for whether the lightning had formed an ocean and engulfed the "strange figure", he could not tell because his senses were suppressed by the blood and he could not turn back.

At this moment, the ground around the Lord of Longevity cracked open and ferocious-looking blood-colored branches and vines swayed. They looked like the roots of the Peach Tree, but also like the blood vessels of flesh. They formed an inescapable net and enveloped Mengqi and Gu Xiaosang.

Gu Xiaosang's expression was pure and holy. She crossed her palms and the void caved in. Vortexes emerged, emitting a terrifying suction force that caused the vines and branches to sway.

Mengqi's mind was clear. The Flowing Fire in his left hand turned into a red light and slashed out. One split into two, two split into four, four split into eight, accurately and ingeniously meeting the blood-colored vines. The sound of collision became one.

For a moment, the red sword light filled the sky like petals slowly blooming.

Suddenly, Mengqi felt a cold wind blowing close to his neck, causing his hair to stand on end.

There was a wolf in front and a tiger behind!

Meng Qi resisted the urge to turn his head and rely on his instincts. He raised his Heaven Inflicted Pain and changed it again and again. Purplish green lightning burst out and manifested different kinds of thunderbolts.

Suddenly, the lightning subsided and revealed the blade. It was dark green and purple and no more changes. It was simple and mysterious, simple and mysterious. It was fierce and fierce. It was as if there was only one blade in the world that could break the void, split the chaos, evolve Yin and Yang, and give birth to lightning.

Using his heart to control the saber and the saber to control the enemy, Meng Qi infused all the premonitions and mysteries of the Eight Nine Mysteries into this stroke. It drew an indescribable trajectory and changed according to the illusory Qi Ji.

"Mengqi"

With the help of the shock, Mengqi's feet flew into the air. The Flowing Fire turned into numerous sword lights of equal strength, suppressing the blood-colored vines and trying to fly over Longevity Sage's head. Behind him, the peach trees became sparse again and he could vaguely see the mist outside.

With no time to think, Meng Qi leaped into the air with the help of the tremor. Flowing Fire split into numerous sword beams of equal strength to suppress the Blood Vine. Meng Qi tried to fly over Longevity Sage's head. Behind him, the peach trees became sparse again and he could vaguely see the mist outside.

Throughout the whole process, Meng Qi looked straight ahead and did not move at all.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Longevity God's cracked head. He could vaguely see five fingers, and the condition of the wound was rather familiar.

A palm strike smashed the immortal's head. Where had he seen or heard of it before?

The Skythrowing Palm struck and smashed the head of an immortal. Where had he seen or heard of it?

The Skythrowing Palm?

Could it be the Skythrowing Palm that killed Longevity Sage?

But shouldn't the Skythrowing Palm mainly target the head? How could there still be remains of Longevity Sage's head after his body was smashed?

Or was it some other skill?

Mengqi's eyes froze again amidst his shock, confusion, and confusion.

The top of Longevity Sage's head split open, revealing what was inside. It was not a brain or brain juice but a red peach!

"Longevity Peach? Peach of Immortality?

How could it be inside Longevity Sage's head? "

The peach glowed with a strange bloody light. Its furry skin was translucent and the flesh inside seemed to have blood vessels and meridians. Just by looking at it, Mengqi felt his mind tremble and hallucinations reappeared in front of him. It seemed to be an ominous object!

Inside his Space Ring, the Supreme-wisdom Tree seemed to be moving slightly.

At this moment, the sense of danger in Mengqi's heart rose again. Without thinking, the muscles on his back bulged and two arms grew out, one holding the Mystic Tortoise Heavy Sword and the other the Purple Electric Thunder Saber.

As soon as the four arms appeared, Mengqi saw Longevity Sage's head come to life. The head swayed and the restraints around him suddenly strengthened. Mengqi's jumping momentum came to an abrupt halt and he fell straight down!

Meng Qi's eyes were calm. His sword was heavy, and so was his saber. They struck down together like two towering mountains pressing down on him.

"Boom!"

The saber and the sword collided in mid-air, creating a majestic and huge shockwave that temporarily offset the restraints. Mengqi took advantage of the momentum to leap forward, narrowly avoiding the other blood-colored vines.

The terrifying "shockwave" surged in all directions, but the peach trees only swayed slightly. None of them broke. The toughness of their bodies was evident!

As soon as Mengqi's feet touched the ground, he saw Gu Xiaosang land beside him. She seemed to have formed some kind of connection with the void. Indiscernible ribbons circled around her.

The two of them did not look at each other or communicate. Almost at the same time, they ran out of the peach forest. Behind them, there was a whistling sound, a chilly wind, and an inexplicable image of "human figures" in the sky!

Cold sweat beaded on Mengqi's forehead. He strode forward without looking back or stopping.

After a few breaths, white clouds appeared at the edge of the forest, signaling safety.

Suddenly, without warning, a tree root sprouted in front of Mengqi's feet!

If not for his Eight Nine Mysteries, Mengqi would definitely have tripped. But now, he leaped half a beat ahead, tripping over the tree root with the tip of his foot. His body seemed to be falling forward.

He drew in his abdomen and spat out a white stream of air from his mouth. It hit the ground and pierced through the stone!

Borrowing the force to rise again, he shifted his center of gravity and made a turn in mid-air. Like a giant roc, Mengqi landed outside the peach forest. Mist swirled around him, making him look like a fairyland. Behind him, there was no movement and no trace of danger. It was like two different worlds!

Clap, clap, clap! Gu Xiaosang smiled and said, "Good moves, my dear husband."

Mengqi turned to look at her and found that her skin had regained its luster and was as smooth as jade. Her glabella was no longer blue, and her face was glowing with radiance. It was as if she had recovered. He could sense that his body was the same.

"Phew, fortunately, there are no sequelae!"

"Can we turn back now?" Mengqi wanted to take another look at Longevity Sage's corpse to confirm the wound.

Gu Xiaosang smiled faintly. "It's best not to turn back. This is the manifestation and part of the source of the great change in the lifespan of heaven and earth. Looking back will reduce your lifespan by at least ten years."

"The manifestation and part of the source of the great change in the lifespan of heaven and earth? Didn't we just pass by and see it? "Mengqi asked in surprise, not quite understanding Gu Xiaosang's words.

Gu Xiaosang smiled faintly. "My dear husband, let's talk on the way. Although we managed to fool Han Guang, he is not an undeserving person. He might have some tricks up his sleeves. We can't stop lest he catches up. It's best to reach our destination as soon as possible."

Regardless of Gu Xiaosang's character, Mengqi agreed with her suggestion. He would not argue with her. Thus, he strode forward along the path created by the mist.

Gu Xiaosang did not slow down at all. She walked side by side with Mengqi and said telepathically, "The Ninth Heaven is called the Immortal World. It was born from the Great Tao and is the source of most of the Dharma and Logos in the world, especially the top three levels."

"Beyond the Ninth Heaven, the Dharma and Logos are born from the Sympathetic Senses. They derive various laws that cannot be directly grasped and can only be observed through phenomena."

"Eh … this sounds a little familiar!" Mengqi suddenly thought of Huang Liang, the weirdo on the mountaintop. His thinking about the world and the universe seemed to have such a saying!

Beyond the core, there are all kinds of deductions and changes, forming a world that is the condensation of Dharma and Logos. It does not change because of external objects. Taoism calls it the Grand Luo, Buddhism calls it the Pure Land, Brahman calls it the Lower Brahman, and my sect calls it the Real World together with the core. It is real and unchanging …

Beyond the Real World, you can feel the different auras and derive different Dharma and Logos, combining the five elements of earth, fire, wind, water, metal, and wood to create different worlds …

Huang Liang's words rang in Mengqi's ears. He looked around and thought, "The Ninth Heaven is the Grand Luo and the Immortal World?

And the real and unchanging "Immortal Realm" had also been shattered?

Gu Xiaosang continued, "The so-called Peach Garden is the condensation and concrete manifestation of the Dharma and Logos related to the lifespan of heaven and earth. It is shown in the form of the Elixir of Immortality. Consuming a Peach of Immortality will increase one's lifespan by an epoch!"

"Now that heaven and earth have changed, Dharmakayas only have about 300 years of lifespan. As the 'manifestation of lifespan', it is reasonable to deduce the current situation of the Peach Garden. However, it is also born from the Great Way, so it can only be said to be a small part of the source of the great reduction in lifespan."

Mengqi asked thoughtfully, "So when we are in it, if we are not careful, our lifespan will be exhausted and we will die?"

Gu Xiaosang smiled faintly and said, "There are three lamps in a human body, one on the top of the head and one on each shoulder. If we suddenly turn our head, it will easily affect them. Under normal circumstances, with our ability, there is no problem. However, in the place where the Dharma and Logos are condensed and manifested, where there are strange changes, simply turning our head may extinguish the 'lamp'."

"They are more of the manifestation of the Dharma and Logos, born in accordance with the rules. So as long as our behavior is in accordance with the rules, it will be difficult for them to directly affect us?" Mengqi asked in sudden realization.

Gu Xiaosang's delicate chin nodded slightly and she smiled crisply. "There are many such places in the third layer of the Nine Levels of Heaven. For example, the 'Jasper Lake' which is the manifestation of the power of the metal element. My husband, you must remember what you said."

Mengqi pondered for a moment and asked solemnly, "Miss Xiaosang, since we are working together, you should at least tell me your purpose, right?"

Gu Xiaosang smiled sweetly. "I want to go to the Three-life Temple so that I can be with my husband for all eternity."

Mengqi narrowed his eyes. Gu Xiaosang was good at telling the truth and lies at the same time. The Three-life Temple might really be one of her goals!

Suddenly, a subtle feeling arose in his heart. He subconsciously looked to his side and saw half a peach peeking out timidly from the place shrouded in mist.

Half a peach?

A demonic peach glowing with a bloody light!

It actually chased after me?
