Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 178 - 124: Life, Death, Human Fate, Divine Skills, All are No Match for Destiny

Chapter 178: Chapter 124: Life, Death, Human Fate, Divine Skills, All are No Match for Destiny

压下心中的震惊,陈青款款而谈,”这倒是一只极为有趣的Gu.”

“Its name is Three-year Cicada.”

“Once contracted, it would enter a threefold time acceleration state.”

“Before reaching Harmonization with Ninth Transformation, it couldn’t exit the state of threefold time acceleration.”

“It had only one master in its lifetime; if the master fell, it too would return to the river of history.”

“And as a noble cicada, it never actively fed itself, meaning it remained at First Transformation when in the wild.”

Everyone listened to Chen Qing and began to analyze in their minds.

Extremely powerful!

But the negative effects were equally terrifying.

At this moment, they looked at Chen Qing again, Senior Taichu, who could see through this Gu insect!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known so clearly.

Fu Luo curiously remarked, “Senior Taichu could see through this Gu insect.”

She used a declarative sentence, not a question.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

It showed she did not doubt Chen Qing’s authority.

Chen Qing responded indifferently, “The cost to gain insights from this Gu insect might be quite hefty.”

“Moreover, the difficulty of its promotion is much greater than that of the Luck Gu.”

Ji Ru then said, “I think I’ll wait until the Luck Gu reaches Harmonization with Ninth Transformation before considering it.”

Currently, she was only at Qi Refinement; if she contracted this Three-year Cicada now, she could live for at most thirty more years.

Though after Foundation Establishment, she might live seventy years, Foundation Establishment entailed further deadly longevity-cutting by entering the Death Realm.

Her Life Span was already insufficient; cutting it further to enter the Death Realm compounded by the threefold time acceleration meant she could end up with only ten years of life.

Chen Qing silently praised Fu Luo for being wise and not getting carried away by the allure of such a powerful Gu insect.

The biggest issue they faced was needing to borrow power from Heaven after Foundation Establishment, requiring at least a self-inflicted cut to slice off a century of life’s worth to enter the Death Realm.

Although Chen Qing could use the frighteningly long-lived Light Butterfly as his Lifebound Gu to gain extended Life Span,

When facing a Gu insect as absurdly strange as the Three-year Cicada, he chose to keep his distance.

No Emperor Donghua across generations had succeeded, and Chen Qing didn’t feel he could either.

Of course, the cicadas of previous Emperor Donghuas might have been Immortal Grade, with an even more terrifying nine or tenfold time acceleration effect.

Regarding Immortal Grade Cicadas, Chen Qing had no interest; none of the previous Emperor Donghuas could achieve it despite gathering the world’s power, and he doubted a mere Qi Refining Realm like him could.

Even if he wanted to contract one, at best, it would be a spiritual item; he dared not attempt anything higher.

The promotional difficulty of King Grade Cicadas was unimaginably high.

Currently, he was not even interested in a spiritual item cicada.

Even with Fu Luo having the Luck Gu and innate fortune, encountering a Three-year Cicada frightened her, let alone him?

He planned to observe once Fu Luo contracted the Three-year Cicada and successfully ascended to Harmonization with Ninth Transformation.

Moreover, it was the first time he encountered a Gu insect that caused his eyes to hurt slightly.

Even with Li Chonghuan’s King Gu, he hadn’t felt discomfort.

If possible, when Fu Luo’s Light Butterfly ascended again and needed to meet him, as a condition for helping Fu Luo, he could ask for a cicada to set aside.

Whether to contract it or not could be decided later.

In short, at this stage, observing sufficed; it wasn’t something he could control now.

At this thought, Chen Qing recalled the mysterious Ancient Prince awakened by Da Yan. Could that fellow have entered the Death Realm and contracted the Three-year Cicada, or even a higher King Grade Cicada?

The powerful effects brought by the Three-year Cicada were not just being invincible in the same realm; it embodied a gesture of obliteration.

This was indeed a headache-inducing issue.

After leaving, it was time to seek some Gu insects to increase his speed, and at least at the spiritual item grade.

Ji Ru, after inquiring about the Luck Gu’s upgrade requirements, remained silent, seemingly contemplating something quietly.

Chen Qing didn’t mind; with Luck Gu, indeed fortune begets fortune, such Gu insects could even be obtained.

If Chen Qing knew how Ji Ru obtained it, he might be more envious.

In that sense, determining whether Luck Gu or the Three-year Cicada was stronger wasn’t straightforward.

Without Luck Gu, Fu Luo couldn’t have obtained the Three-year Cicada.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing recalled his recent nightly ghost trials, in which he gained many insights.

After witnessing the Three-year Cicada, everyone’s thoughts had already gathered around that Three-year Cicada.

With no desire to talk about anything else, Chen Qing felt it was good this way, avoiding distractions to his Enlightenment.

After the gathering ended, Chen Qing sat alone in the hall, reflecting on the past experiences of each malicious ghost.

Who among them hadn’t become malicious spirits due to suffering grievances and torment?

Yin Shu Niang was born in an ordinary family, and just because of her beauty and her Yin-Yang Eyes, her eyes had been gouged out and her body defiled.

Thus and so, her resentment was hard to dissipate.

Chen Qing suddenly felt an indescribable sense of profoundness.

He sat cross-legged, entering a state of contemplation.

After a full seven days, Chen Qing opened his eyes and spoke, “Human life, life and death, divine skills, all ultimately cannot defy heavenly destiny.”

He looked at his Light Butterfly; what it needed now was the Nine Thunder Purple Cloud Qi, both lightning and purple clouds belonging to Heaven.

After the Light Butterfly ascended again, could it be related to heavenly destiny?

If so, then his Light Butterfly truly was extremely mysterious.

Establishing his Foundation with this Light Butterfly guaranteed his Dao Foundation would be exceptional.
