Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 158 - 115: The Chapter of Celestial Township - King Gu and Chasing Light_2

""",

Moreover, training these two experts might have given him the ability to acquire the spiritual flying sword Gu for himself.

It’s just like this time with Xuanping. Although her strength was vastly different from his own, without her help, he couldn’t have accomplished all this.

After collecting all the Gu, Chen Qing found the young man and asked, "I’ve known you for so long, but I don’t know your name?"

The young man smiled and said, "Name? It doesn’t matter. When I was born, my family sent me to the Yin Yang Sect, so I never had a chance to get a name."

"They always called me ’Abnormal person.’ It wasn’t until they sent me here this time that they gave me a name, calling me ’True Yang.’"

"This name sounds good. Just call me True Yang."

Chen Qing heard this and said, "I’m sorry, I gave the True Yang Sword Gu to Li Chonghuan."

True Yang smiled, "No worries. I already said, I wasn’t the person who originally possessed the True Yang Sword Gu, I just have the same physique as they did."

Chen Qing suddenly said, "Come with me, come with me to Nanli. There, no one can harm you!"

True Yang hesitated for a moment, "No, I belong to this land."

"This land holds the accumulation of generations, and I haven’t fully mastered it yet."

"I can feel that this land still harbors deeper secrets. When I fully understand them and have cultivated to roam the world safely, I’ll come see you."

Saying this, True Yang pulled out a jade talisman from his chest and handed it to Chen Qing, "If you need anything, crush this jade talisman. I’ll know."

"Go ahead, even though you once saved this island, you were tricked by the Yin Yang Sect once and this land has begun to reject outsiders."

"In another three days, the immortal island will probably disappear."

Chen Qing nodded, then said, "I’ll stay for two more days to absorb the vitality nearby. It’s important to let it revive again."

He sat in the Immortal Palace for two days cultivating, and when he went outside again, there were already many buds sprouting from the ground, emerging from the withered trees and flowers.

All things grow.

At the seaside, Nie Fei and Xuanping had already led the thirteen members of the Jiguang Sect to build a large ship.

Though hastily constructed and not very good-looking, it was enough to sail across the sea.

Cultivators never cared about appearances; they always considered functionality over aesthetics.

Chen Qing boarded the ship and looked back toward the immortal island. This trip to the immortal island, with the Light Butterfly harmonization, had gained the Guihai Sword Scripture and the Great River Sword, and it felt quite complete.

Returning, he could even use the inheritance map to train a large number of adept individuals.

In the hazy fog, Chen Qing saw True Yang wearing a Daoist robe, turning and heading toward the mountains. As he moved, a streak of sword light flew toward him from afar.

At the foot of the mountain, sword ghosts awakened one by one, bowing their heads as they walked in True Yang’s direction, resembling a great army.

Turning to sit at the bow, watching the ship ride the waves, inside the cabin, Xuanping and Nie Fei sat on either side of the seat closest to the center.

The other thirteen sat separately, and Chen Qing, seeing only that remaining central spot, sat there calmly.

The crowd sat around the long table, and once Chen Qing sat down, Nie Fei said, "Would you like to chase the light?"

Wei Qingchen was the first to remove the bronze ghost mask from his face, revealing his true appearance, looking in his thirties.

A square face without a beard, phoenix eyes, long hair bound with a jade crown, exuding an air of dignity.

He gently cupped his hands toward Chen Qing, "I wish to chase the light!"

Following Wei Qingchen’s lead, the other twelve members of the Jiguang Sect also removed their bronze ghost masks one by one.

One after another, they said, "Wish to chase the light!"

Chen Qing asked, "What do you mean?"

He didn’t quite know what they were saying.

At this moment, the cabin seemed as if a mysterious ritual was being held.

Nie Fei smiled as he removed his own bronze ghost mask, saying, "Wish to chase the light."

Xuanping explained, "The Jiguang Sect has always been solitary, but we are still a sect."

"When we, the Jiguang Sect, encounter someone who can lead us to greater heights, we can choose to remove the shackles of the bronze ghost mask and follow the guidance of the light."

"Typically, such a person has already harmonized the Light Gu and is exceedingly powerful."

"Therefore, they are called ’Chasing Light.’"

She looked at Chen Qing, "Now, you are the light."

Chen Qing finally understood, "You want to follow me?"

Wei Qingchen spoke seriously, "Lord Taiyi saved us from the Yin Yang Sect, which is a life-saving grace."

He awkwardly smiled, "Moreover, Lord Taiyi’s strength genuinely commands our admiration."

"So, we want to become Chasing Light followers, to follow you."

Chen Qing roughly understood the meaning behind Wei Qingchen’s words.

Firstly, there was the life-saving grace.

Secondly, they had learned about Chen Qing’s Gu abilities, which allowed him to wield the Divine Power of Heaven and Earth.

If they didn’t follow Chen Qing, he wouldn’t feel secure, and they would struggle to find peace.

Thirdly, Chen Qing’s strength far surpassed theirs, and they felt he had great potential to lead them to success.

Most importantly, they had heard of how Chen Qing had carried Xuanping for eight thousand miles and had attempted to save True Yang with only the ninth-level Qi Refinement Realm cultivation.

They believed Chen Qing was reliable and his character was incredibly good.

Following such a person would surely bring them no loss.

Chen Qing looked at Xuanping, his eyes inquiring about her thoughts, but saw her also removing the bronze ghost mask, revealing her fair face, "Wish to chase the light."

Seeing that even Xuanping was willing to follow him, Chen Qing sat in deep reflection.

Heading north was initially to assist Xuanping in Foundation Establishment; when they left, Xuanping appeared to be Chen Qing’s superior, but upon return, Chen Qing had become Xuanping’s leader.

It just shows how unpredictable life can be.

Chen Qing, seeing the scene, pondered for a good quarter of an hour before saying, "Xuanping, leave your and Nie Fei’s bronze ghost masks behind, as we still need to understand information about the sect."

"Take away the bronze ghost masks from the others."

After Xuanping put them away, Chen Qing finally removed his own bronze ghost mask.

"Alright, let’s now return to Nanli."

"Since you have faith in me, I, Qingxu, naturally will not let you down!"

Thirteen members of the Jiguang Sect at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm comprised an extremely formidable force.

The Jiguang Sect was already individually strong, and those who went north this time were all extraordinary, with the strongest being Wei Qingchen, who, with a spiritual Sand Gu, possessed strength nearly comparable to a Daoist.

As for the others, they were only slightly weaker than a Daoist.

Frankly, upon return, who would hold authority in Cold Mountain City was uncertain.

That’s also why Xuanping expressed her stance.

As soon as Chen Qing disembarked, he recalled an incident where he had exchanged a Void Flower for a snow lotus.

At this moment, after this journey, he began to sense something.

Since it was a kind gesture, he might as well hold on to it for now.

It might have a great use in the future.

Just as they landed, Chen Qing said, "I once exchanged a Void Flower for a snow lotus, and thinking about it now, I regret it."

"I need someone to go to the Yibao Building and retrieve my Void Flower back, then kill the Yibao Building’s steward."

Xuanping said, "There are many experts in the Yibao Building, and it’s located in Hidden Dragon City. If it’s just retrieving a treasure, it’s okay. But killing the Yibao Building’s steward might cause some trouble."

As the group discussed, Wei Qingchen stepped forward and said, "Just take Nie Fei along with me, and I promise to get it done perfectly."

"Give me three days, and all the fellow Daoists only need to follow my instructions!"

Hearing this, Chen Qing also became interested, "Nie Fei, accompany him on this trip."

After they left, Xuanping stood by the ship’s side and asked, "Are you testing their abilities?"

Chen Qing calmly nodded without any change in expression, "I have to see if they are quite useful."

No, I just really wanted my flower.

Xuanping said, "You have the spirit Gu in hand. They’re newly loyal, so picking the most competent among them and rewarding them can win over people’s hearts."

"Let the others see hope and make the person given the spirit Gu work for you."

"In this way, the situation will surely turn around!"

At this moment, Chen Qing realized he had already become a force to be reckoned with.
