Chapter 164: Life and Death After hearing his explanation, Cheng Zhen and Lu Jin were only knew that many years ago, the master chased the evil cultivators who were wreaking havoc in the coastal areas for thousands of miles and broke into the depths of southern Xinjiang. Half a year later, he beheaded two great poison masters and became famous all over the world, helping the Sanyi Sect to become the leader of the Xuanmen. However, he did not expect that the bloody battle he fought would be so tragic. He actually fought against a thousand-year-old monster and almost died. Jiang Mo was deep in thought. From the words of the Great Elder, it was not difficult to infer the key information. Although the monster was stronger than his senior brother who was at the peak of the second level, it could not kill him. From this we can see that the monster may not actually survive for thousands of years, but may resurrect intermittently to protect the tribe. Otherwise, even if a Gu cultivator has a dull aptitude, after thousands of years of experience, he would still be no match for an ordinary person. How could my brother escape unscathed? What's more, this monster is so talented that it can overwhelm all the Gu cultivators in Southern Xinjiang. In addition, even if one cultivates a human body into a Gu body, it will not necessarily become stronger over time. If one cannot find the remedy for immortality, one will eventually face the decay of the body. If the so-called "immortality" strange insect can really grant immortality, then monsters would not have to hide in dark caves and sleep. You know, there is no shortage of extraordinary people in the Central Plains who practice both life and death. They often reach the peak of their combat power in their prime years when their blood is vigorous. Seventy, ninety, a hundred years old, as long as they are mortal, the undeniable fact is that with the passage of time, their bodies will continue to weaken, and they may even pass away due to the inability to suppress the injuries accumulated over the years. When cultivating both sex and life, if the 'life' part reaches its peak too early, it will fall uncontrollably in old age.

No matter how well the 'sexual' part is tempered, even to the point of perfection, it will eventually be affected, just like the two poles of yin and yang. As long as one side collapses, it will inevitably restrain the other side from changing. Of course, there will also be some amazingly strong people who can slow down the decline of their 'life', and even maintain their 'life' to a level similar to that of their prime years through health-preserving methods such as medicinal herbs and exercises, while also polishing their 'sexuality' to perfection. Only in this way, their cultivation and combat effectiveness in their later years will be stronger than those in their prime. In just a few seconds, Jiang Mo thought of all the possibilities. In his opinion, it would be extremely difficult for a monster to survive for a thousand years while maintaining a cultivation level close to that of a middle-aged man. Now that Luo Wuyuan's 'ancestor' is in the same era as him, let alone recovering all his strength, even if he surpasses his peak state, in a fierce battle where both of them are risking their lives, he has absolute confidence in killing this man. There was silence in the bamboo house. Seeing Jiang Mo remained silent, the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense. The elder discussed with him: "Master Jiang and I wanted to lend a helping hand to Master Zuo, but he stopped us." "This time, I am willing to do my best to help you and share life and death with you all." Every word the old man said came from his heart, but the second elder beside him had a gloomy brow and sighed: "The injury suffered by Chief Zuo was too severe. He had already suffered damage to his meridians and some of his internal organs due to his breakthrough in martial arts in his early years." "After returning from the abyss, his body was covered in blood, more than half of his limbs were broken, and even his internal organs were shattered." "At that time, the various tribes were constantly fighting each other, and we had enough enemy blood and materials. We wanted to borrow the Living Coffin Method to rebuild his body for him, but he declined." "In the end, he could only heal most of his injuries through my clan's secret methods and medicinal baths, but he was never fully healed." "Living coffin? Senior, isn't it a dead coffin that is used to cast the Yin body?" Lu Jin looked suspicious, he remembered that Wu Gensheng used this method to conceal his true intentions. "Oh? You know this, young man?" Gu Yu was quite surprised, and sighed slightly, saying: "The living coffin is a living coffin, and the dead coffin is a dead coffin. The two are similar, but there are differences." "The living coffin is to create a body that is exactly the same as the original body, like a newborn body, and it can be achieved by grafting the soul through secret methods." "And the dead coffin is to divide the person's innate source qi. Well, according to your Central Plains, it is the innate qi, divided into two halves, and placed between the main body and the Yin body respectively to prevent accidental death." "In ancient times, the two coffin techniques had the same origin, but were later lost due to wars and split into two parts. They have continued to evolve, and with the improvement of later generations, they have formed today's living coffin and dead coffin techniques." "The original life and death coffins should be used to bury the living soul and the dead body, in order to achieve a balance between yin and yang and achieve immortality. However, these are all vague legends and cannot be verified."

After the Second Elder's patient explanation, Lu Jin and Cheng Zhen suddenly understood, and both were amazed at this secret method of changing life and death. It really is true that the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Will, who was sitting in the corner, had already felt very uneasy after hearing what he heard. This completely overturned his previous knowledge and common sense. Extending life for a thousand years was a miracle. Facing an enemy of this level, would he really have a chance of winning? Not only him, but everyone present, except Jiang Mo, felt deeply powerless and desperate. The second elder, Gu Yu, petitioned: "Master Jiang, I am old, but I still have the strength to fight. I hope you will not despise me." This is just modest words, but in fact, this old man's fighting ability is slightly better than Will's. Qiangu Cave and Luowuyuan have a blood feud, Jiang Mo respects their wishes and said, "In this case, Jiang thanks the two elders for their help." "Leave that half-human, half-ghost monster to me." "Weir, you are responsible for attacking the enemy's elite with the two elders. Cheng Zhen, Jin Er, you wait for the opportunity to act. If there are any hostages alive, rescue them first. If not, assist the two elders in their actions." No one had any objection to the tactics arranged by Jiang Mo. This was a duel between the best and the best, elite against elite, and they could only do the best within their capabilities. "Master Jiang, there is still more than an hour before the third brother finds the whereabouts of Wuyuan. I want to contact Hanling Valley, who is friendly with my clan, to come to help. What do you think?" "But, the more strong ones, the better." Jiang Mo is well aware of the principle that 'even a lion must use all its strength to fight a rabbit'. He is responsible for the most difficult ancestor, but the other Luo Wuyuan Gu cultivators should not be underestimated. "Then I'll contact you right away." After saying that, the Great Elder's Shunfeng Gu crawled out from his sleeve. It was a blue silkworm. As the old man circulated Qi and chanted incantations, an invisible wave spread throughout the bamboo house. Everyone waited silently, and after a moment, the great elder, who had completed the negotiation, slowly opened his eyes. "how's it going?" The second elder estimated that if a few old guys he was familiar with also came, the chances of winning would be much higher. "Well, they were worried about the fact that they had just fought with Luo Wuyuan in the past two days. They were afraid of direct retaliation, so they didn't dare to come out in full force. Only Brother Yan came to support us." "Is that so? That's good." The Second Elder understood the difficulties of Hanling Valley. At this critical moment, he sent out the second strongest pillar of the valley. This was the most he could do, and it could even be said to be a big gamble. Only the Thousand Bone Caves that have been visited by generations are qualified to make such a request. If it were any other force, there would be no possibility at all. (End of this chapter)
