Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 478 - 273: Little Pixiu Accidentally Enters the Gathering of Kings

```

After Ji Ru’s Light Butterfly ascended to a King Gu, Chen Qing immediately exited the Divine Temple.

He didn’t want to stay in this bizarre place for even a moment longer.

Instincts drove him to flee from it.

Chen Qing opened his hand, and the palm-sized purple Light Butterfly flew toward Ji Ru, "Your Light Butterfly has ascended to King Grade."

"It’s time to go."

The Nine-headed Lion was clearly anxious about Lu Chen’s situation, "Just wait one more day, if the master hasn’t returned by then, I’ll lead you to fight your way out and leave this place!"

Chen Qing didn’t insist, "One day doesn’t matter, we just need to leave the scope of this temple and head to the previous hall with the Void River."

Once again at the purple True Monarch Arena, there was no longer any Void River there.

Both Chen Qing and Ji Ru’s Light Butterfly had absorbed it, so there couldn’t be any left.

Chen Qing could sense that Ji Ru’s Light Butterfly held only a third of the Void River, and more of it was actually within his Void Gate.

This meant that by assisting a Void Dao King Gu in its ascension, Chen Qing could gain more power.

In this way, Chen Qing found motivation to cultivate a True Monarch Xuan Ku.

While waiting there, Chen Qing looked around without touching anything, but his curiosity was undeniable.

While everyone was tensely waiting, Yu Qingshuang and the Nine-headed Lion moved forward to examine an ancient mural.

Ji Ru suddenly appeared before Chen Qing, "Hey, do you like me?"

Chen Qing was surprised, "Why do you ask all of a sudden?"

Ji Ru said, "As our fates are entwined, it’s best to understand your importance to me first."

"You just need to answer whether you like me or not." freёnovelkiss.com

Chen Qing was actually curious too.

"I’m quite interested in this matter myself."

"Ask me again."

Ji Ru sat beside Chen Qing, "Do you like me?"

Chen Qing thought for a moment before replying, "No."

Ji Ru laughed and then pulled a strand of black hair from her bosom, placing it in a sachet and hanging it at Chen Qing’s waist.

"When you’re unhappy or wish to see me, come find me in a dream."

Chen Qing said, "You got a negative answer, Xiezhi told you the truth."

Ji Ru said, "You’re just too complicated, overthinking everything."

"Owning too much, fearing too much, and then not daring to do many things."

Ji Ru stretched lazily, her embroidered belt outlining her waistline, "In fact, we really don’t need to think so complexly."

"Think about it, as mortals, we only have a hundred years."

"While we’ve enjoyed fifty years of this world, with all its joys and sorrows."

"At least we’ve lived fifty years as humans."

"Living another fifty years would not be a loss, and we’ve experienced even more wonders."

"So, don’t be too tense."

"Don’t always feel burdened by so much."

"Let time flow, and at every fork in the road, choose the path you like most."

"As for everything else, leave it to destiny!"

Chen Qing chuckled lightly, If destiny was not arranged by Taichu, I might relax as you do.

"What are your thoughts on Taichu?"

Ji Ru said, "It is a being even older than the gods."

"Senior Taichu’s authority is unlike any gods’."

"Previously, I guessed Senior Taichu might be the Void Master."

"Because my Light Butterfly is connected to the Void Dao."

"But now, it seems Senior Taichu’s authority is more than that, as if he has some authority over all Gu."

"We merely completed a campaign for half the Mystic Gate Realm’s future while in the Ghost Face Realm."

"Such a victory was just unthinkable."

"He stayed hidden backstage yet gained more authority than all the Great Sects."

"Previously, Nanli might have had a one-tenth-two share, but as the biggest victor, it gained another eight-tenths."

"While we were different, from having nothing, we gained half the world."

"All this can only be described as miraculous."

"Follow Senior Taichu’s guidance and quietly await the next miracle."

Chen Qing hadn’t expected that in Ji Ru’s view, he was so formidable.

He understood once again the magnitude of what he accomplished.

Chen Qing asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

Ji Ru said, "I’ll negotiate terms with the Immortal Court and Heavenly Master Mansion, I want twenty percent of the Mystic Gate Realm slots."

Chen Qing said, "Can that be done?"

Ji Ru said, "Maybe not before, but now it’s not impossible."

"The Immortal Court and Heavenly Master Mansion disciples aren’t that many, Da Yan’s cultivators greatly outnumber both sects."

"Moreover, Da Yan is the foundation for both sects, meaning some Mystic Gate Realm slots naturally flow to the two sects, which they understand."

"So, it’s difficult but not impossible."

"By the way, how long do you plan to stay in the Death Realm?"

Chen Qing said, "Thirty years, at least thirty years, to turn the Death Realm into a fortress."

Ji Ru said, "Then you’ll be quite busy once you leave the Death Realm."

"At that time, there will be two major events."

"The Water Country’s elimination followed by Emperor Donghua’s Life Span ending."
