Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

When his thoughts returned to reality, Gu Xu clearly felt the powerful power flowing in his body.

Every cell in his body was constantly being broken and reshaped without realizing it, like pig iron turning into fine steel after being tempered for thousands of times, or like rough stone turning into beautiful jade after being hammered and polished.

The muscles that were originally thin became strong and strong.

The surging heartbeat was stronger than ever.

He silently observed his new self with his spiritual consciousness.

Even though he looked the same as before when he was wearing clothes, he did not turn into a burly man with bulging muscles. He still looked like a handsome young man.

But he knew that he finally had the mermaid lines and eight-pack abs he had dreamed of, as well as a long life of hundreds of years.

At this time, his pure physical strength was no weaker than that of a martial artist who had practiced physical skills since childhood. Even when he wrestled with Altan Khan, who practiced totem skills, he felt that he had a chance to win.

He slowly opened his eyes.

I saw a bright light in the secret room, like a rising sun, dazzling.

But this light did not spread everywhere, but was absorbed by the black and white mist floating in the secret room, and gradually disappeared without a trace, as if the sea water fell into a bottomless whirlpool.

The most critical level promotion in Gu Xu's life was completed quietly.

There was no grand vision, no congratulations from everyone under his command, no alarm to the heaven and earth, and no alarm to the enemy.

Low-key, quiet and unpretentious.

It seems that he is not worthy of the status of a saint at all.

But Gu Xu was very satisfied with it.

Luo Chuan, Zhao Changying and Xu Man were still sitting in three positions of the formation, their faces flickering in and out of light. Maintaining the "Yin Yang Wuji Deceiving Heaven Locking Spirit Formation" for a long time has made their faces show some fatigue.

When the light in the room dissipated, Gu Xu stood up first.

Luo Chuan also stood up in a hurry, and before the other two, he clasped his fists at Gu Xu and said, "Congratulations to the emperor for being promoted to the realm of saint. The emperor will bring peace to the world and unify the world. It is just around the corner."

Zhao Changying had long been dissatisfied with Luo Chuan's attitude of a villain who liked to flatter, and secretly cursed: How can you, a powerful eighth-level true king, behave so without integrity every day?

Although he was thinking this, Zhao Changying's movements were not much slower than Luo Chuan's. He followed up and said, "Congratulations, Emperor."

When Gu Xu reached the sixth state, he had already defeated Xiao Zeyao's ghost body.

Now that he has been promoted to a saint, how terrifying will his strength become?

Although Gu Xu's aura was restrained at the moment and he looked like an ordinary person, making it difficult to detect the depth, Zhao Changying did not dare to underestimate him at all - he even felt that even if he was in the eighth realm, he would not be able to compete with the current Gu Xu. One fight may not necessarily lead to victory.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changying was once again glad that this fierce young man was his son-in-law, not his enemy. In the future, we will need to rely on his strength to rectify the country and avenge Qu Qingqiu.

As for Xu Man, looking at Gu Xu's too young face, he felt mixed emotions.

As we all know, the appearance of a strong saint will always be fixed at the moment of promotion.

From now on, Gu Xu will always maintain the appearance of eighteen years old and will no longer age - if the women in Dahuang knew this, they would definitely be envious.

"How long have I been practicing?" Gu Xu asked.

When he closed his eyes and fell into the netherworld, he lost the concept of time.

A brief moment in the sea of ​​consciousness may be days, weeks, or even months in the real world.

"Seven days." Luo Chuan answered. For a breakthrough saint, seven days is not a long time.

But for the recent tense situation in the wilderness, seven days is enough for a lot of things to happen.

Gu Xu didn't ask any more questions, glanced at the astrolabe with his spiritual consciousness, and disappeared in an instant.

The three of Luochuan looked at each other and left immediately after.

…………

As Gu Xu said, although Emperor Tianxing lived in the palace for a long time and ignored the government affairs, his control over the Qi court was far beyond what Princess Zhaoning could match.

Over the years, although Princess Zhaoning has been handling memorials and issuing orders on behalf of the emperor, many officials of Da Qi, especially those with advanced cultivation, do not look down on this mortal princess at all.

When the orders from the temple reached the local level, they were often delayed, lazily followed, and disobeyed; the taxes that should be collected were often not collected in full.

In the past, when Luo Chuan and Zhao Changying were still serving the imperial court, these people were still a little restrained.

But now, with three of the five saints in the Da Qi Dynasty rebelling, many powerful sects, sects, and powerful families in the territory have begun to no longer obey the court's command. They have even secretly hoarded resources, contacted the rebels, and made hedging bets.

Princess Zhaoning has been tortured by these people recently.

She hoped that all parts of Daqi could concentrate their efforts to deal with the rebels, but she did not want to let these people talk too much and give away too much of the court's interests.

Fortunately, the emperor finally came out of seclusion.

As the nominally strongest man in the Great Wilderness and the master of the "Tai'a Sword", Emperor Tianxing used a series of thunderous methods to quickly control the situation in the country, making Daqi's rusty machine suddenly run vigorously. stand up.

Two small sects located in the west of Daqi, the Spiritual Beast Sect and the Blood Demon Sect, were caught by Emperor Tianxing because they had secret contacts with the rebels.

Emperor Tianxing immediately sent several sixth-level monks over to kill all of them, from the sect leaders and elders to the disciples and servants. No one was spared - Princess Zhaoning would not dare to do such a cruel thing easily. hand.

However, his attempt to scare the monkeys was indeed very effective.

The various sects and forces in Daqi realized that this emperor dared to kill people and also had the strength to kill people.

Let alone two small sects.

Back then, a family like the Lu family in Qingzhou, who were descendants of immortals and mastered the famous weapons of the wilderness, were all punished by Emperor Tianxing for "treason" among the nine clans.

For a time, everyone restrained all kinds of small actions, and everyone in the Qi Dynasty must obey orders and stop prohibitions.

While severely punishing traitors, Emperor Tianxing also did not forget to give some sweet treats to his ministers.

For example, Shi Lei of Qianhu in Laizhou Prefecture, who "killed relatives for justice", was recently promoted to the first rank and transferred to the capital. He was also rewarded with a mansion and a lot of property.

Emperor Tianxing obviously wanted to use this to send a signal of appeasement - "Even someone like Shi Lei, who was almost married to the leader of the thief, I can ignore the past grudges and reward him as usual. Why don't you go and kill the enemy bravely for me?" "

Of course, Shi Lei himself understood that this was an overt rise and a covert fall.

When he was in Laizhou, he was the chief of the exorcism department of a government. The monks under his command were at his disposal, and they could get support from nearby relatives at any time. In Luojing, he didn't have much real power in his hands. He was under the emperor's surveillance and was restricted everywhere.

The emperor could not trust him after all.

But now, Shi Lei no longer pursues power and status. The only thing he cares about now is his daughter who is far away in Jiange. (End of chapter)
