"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Hai."

Gu Chen couldn't help bowing deeply, this is a monk who is trying to step into the realm of Taoism with pure Dao of the sword, he is willing to teach him the art of the sword, this is a great favor.

Gu Chen doesn't know why Hai Dongqing treats him so differently, but he remembers it in his heart.

From this day on, Gu Chen began to learn knife skills from Hai Dongqing.

Originally, he already had enough things to practice, and he didn't have the energy to delve into the sword technique.

But whether it is the black hole volume or the three ways of Taoism, they all involve the core of Gu Chen's future practice. Before he finds out his own way, Gu Chen does not intend to try to practice, so he saves a lot of time.

He practiced swordsmanship with Hai Dongqing every day. During the process of practicing swordsmanship, he found that his mind gradually settled down. Through thinking while practicing swordsmanship, he found that he gradually had a clear understanding of the road to take in the future.

After practicing the sword, the number of times he dreamed of the man in the bamboo hat gradually decreased. Although he still appeared occasionally, it did not affect his life anymore.

Monotonous but fulfilling practice, reunion with his wife and family in his spare time, Gu Chen's life has never been so peaceful and happy.

During Gu Chen's seclusion, a warrior from the Heart Ape Clan visited once.

They came to give gifts to Gu Chen's wedding banquet under the order of their ancestors, and the gifts were thoughtful, and they were very precious longevity elixir.

This longevity elixir is useless for Gu Chen, but it is of great use to his family, especially his mother Shen Yushu. Taking one pill can cleanse the tendons and cut the marrow, prolonging the life span of ten thousand years.

Gu Chen gratefully accepted the gift, and asked about the outside situation of the Heart Ape Warrior.

"After the collapse of the God Realm, the major forces in the God Realm fought several battles with Gu Tianting at first, and both sides suffered losses. Later, Li Tian will return to the Ancient Heaven Court, while senior Tang Ning was removed from the position of Heavenly General. The Heavenly Court has kept a low profile, and very little news has come out."

Hearing that Li Shunyu returned to the ancient heaven safely, Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, he asked Yuan Buhuo to tell Gu Tianting where Li Shunyu was imprisoned, and he was worried that they would not do their job well, but now he can finally feel relieved.

As for Tangning's punishment, he was not surprised. The other party's method of integrating Gu Tianting was too radical. Li Shunyu had always distinguished public and private interests, so it was natural that he dealt with it fairly.

"Although Gu Tianting has kept a low profile a lot, many forces in the fairy world in the past, such as Jifu, Yuhuazong, etc., have become much more high-profile."

The warrior of the Heart Ape Clan continued. "After the collapse of the Heavenly Dao and the recovery of Dao Power, in just a few months, many famous masters have made breakthroughs in various star fields, causing a lot of turmoil."

"Everyone is saying that a golden world is coming, but the God Realm is no longer available."

Gu Chen sensed four words from the description of the warriors of the Heart Ape Clan - troubled times.

The Golden World is undoubtedly coming, and the Ninth World is also becoming chaotic, and the old and new forces will reshuffle.

In the past, the forces in the fairy world were uncharacteristically and no longer kept a low profile. I am afraid it was precisely this opportunity.

The warriors of the Heart Ape Clan left, while Gu Chen continued to live a life of seclusion.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, no matter how fierce the battle between immortals and gods is, it has nothing to do with him.

He has already understood that all the contradictions between immortals and gods are meaningless at all.

Instead of getting sucked into those whirlpools, it's better to appreciate life now.

...

Nanqing Star Field, an inconspicuous ancient star of life.

Ever since he separated from Gu Chen, the black dog has traveled through four or five star fields for a long time, and finally found its goal.

In front of it, stood a woman in green clothes, who looked to be in her thirties, and beside her, stood a younger woman, who was also beautiful, but her temperament was as cold as frost.

"I finally found you. I will never forget your kindness!"

The black dog looked at the woman in Tsing Yi and gritted his teeth, as if there was an unforgettable hatred.

The woman in Tsing Yi looked at the black dog calmly, her bright autumn eyes seemed to understand everything, and her red lips parted slightly.

"I didn't expect you to break my seal back then. How did you do it? What I gave you back then was an ancient taboo that has long been lost. There is no reason to break it."

The black dog said angrily. "How do you care how I untie it? Back then, you and I had no grievances, but you sealed my soul in an ordinary dog. Do you know how much I have suffered? Where is my body now? Give me back Come!"

"Your body is also a black dog. I changed it into a younger body for you. You should be happy."

The woman in Tsing Yi joked.

"Fart! My physical body has been cultivated to the extreme back then, and this is just a mortal body. Is there any comparison?"

The more the black dog talked, the more angry he became.

"Although it is not easy for you to come all the way to find me, I have already used your body to refine it into a fairy weapon. If you want to return it, you should give up your heart."

The woman in Tsing Yi said regretfully.

"You witch!"

The black dog was so angry that its seven orifices were filled with smoke, and under its anger, terrifying soul power gushed out from its body, spreading wildly!

"Qingshuang, back off."

Seeing this, the woman in Tsing Yi became more serious, and ordered casually.

"Obey, Master."

The woman beside her backed away immediately, and the woman in Tsing Yi also had a terrifying soul wave.

"Although your soul has been unsealed and your strength has improved to a higher level, you have lost your original physical body after all. Do you think it is possible for you to defeat me?"

"If you are willing to tell me how you lifted the seal, I might be able to spare your life today."

The woman in Tsing Yi was extremely confident.

"You are too arrogant, I will not lose to you today!"

The black dog's eyes were full of brilliance.

"Hehe, I can guess it even if you don't tell me. The taboo ancient method I gave you back then was inherited from the Immemorial World. If it can help you unblock it, it must be related to the Immortal World."

"However, it is extremely difficult to lift the seal I made from the outside. I am confident that no one in the Immortal Realm has the ability to lift it apart from me."

"So there is only one possibility left. You should unblock yourself. It is easier to unblock from the inside, but this requires an understanding of the ancient soul law. Have you been to the ancient fairy building in the ancient heaven, or the Yuhua sect? The Yuhua Immortal Pavilion?"

The woman in Tsing Yi clarified the mystery, which made the expression of the black dog change. "You really have something to do with the fairy world!"

"It's already irrelevant." The woman in Tsing Yi replied indifferently.

The black dog confronted the woman in Tsing Yi, struggling to balance in his heart.

Although its strength has recovered, it has no confidence that it can defeat this powerful woman.

And if its body is really sacrificed and turned into a fairy weapon, or it doesn't come back, this battle is even more meaningless.

Thinking of another purpose of this trip, it gritted its teeth and said.

"Whether my physical body is alive or not, as long as you give me the soul that you took away back then, our debt will be settled!"

"What soul?" The woman in Tsing Yi pretended to be confused.

"The split soul of Daoist Jingling! Back then, I managed to track down the whereabouts of that evil person's clone. I was about to catch him, but you snatched him half way!"

"You killed him and took his parted soul away. Although I don't know what your relationship with him is, I now have a clear understanding of his identity. His parted soul is of great use to me. You must give it to me. I!"

The black dog said firmly.

The woman in Tsing Yi laughed, as if she had heard something funny.

"What are you laughing at?" The black dog felt humiliated.

"I said how long have you been following me, and you don't know what happened outside? You only want his soul fragment for revenge, but everyone else is dead. Is it still useful for you to ask for a strand of soul? "The woman in Tsing Yi joked.

"What did you say? Taoist Jingling is dead?"

The black dog looked shocked.

"Don't you realize that the environment of the world has undergone major changes? Has hatred blinded your perception?"

The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head, and casually took out a box from the storage ring.

"I snatched this strand of soul from you back then, but I just wanted to use this strand of soul to find out the secret of Daoist Jingling's cultivation. After all, I also practiced the soul way."

"But now I know that his way of cultivation is to rely on the power of heaven, and it is difficult to learn from it. His split soul is useless to me. If you want it, you can take it!"

After finishing speaking, the woman in Tsing Yi threw the box to the black dog.

The black dog took it in astonishment, and opened it carefully.

Sure enough, there was a wisp of illusory ghost floating in the box, which was similar to that evil man's aura!

"When the God Realm changed, this strand of soul still wanted to fly away, but under my seal, how could it escape? I saw it moving strangely, and thought I had a chance to understand it. How could I have imagined it after hearing about Jingling? Dao Zun became an emperor but died."

"Since the deity is dead, this strand of soul-dividing thoughts should disappear soon, so take it away."

The woman in Tsing Yi said indifferently.

She and this black dog are not enemies, and she is not interested in fighting it, not to mention that there is her disciple beside her, so just to be on the safe side, give this useless soul to her.

"Daoist Jingling is dead?"

The black dog stared blankly at the soul in the box. Its first goal in looking for this woman was its own body, and its second goal was the soul that it missed a long time ago.

Gu Chen was refining the Ancient Demon Soul Jade. He originally wanted to get this strand of soul, so with two strands of soul, they were closer to their goal.

Who would have imagined that the person it was planning to deal with was already dead...

The black dog has become distraught, the enemy is dead, and its revenge is meaningless.

"Jie jie jie..."

Suddenly there was a strange laughter from the box, and Daoist Jingling's soul changed and turned into his original face!

"what happened?"

The black dog was startled, and the woman in Tsing Yi was also shocked.

It stands to reason that the deity is already dead, and this soul will only continue to collapse, how can it be so agile?

Daoist Jingling's ghostly eyes flickered on his illusory face. He first looked at the black dog, then at the woman in Tsing Yi, and finally fixed his gaze on Ye Qingshuang in the distance.

"Double hat man?" Ye Qingshuang's face turned pale, recalling the past memories.

The man in the bamboo hat seemed to have no intention of reminiscing about the past, and said with a strange smile.

"Take me to find Gu Chen, if it's late, it's too late!"
