Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 337 The Evil Nest (Part 1)

When Gu Chi and his group entered the dense forest, they immediately understood why every cultivator who came in would lose their way. As soon as they set foot here, they suddenly felt the passage of time, as if they had experienced the cycle of thousands of years.

There is heavy fog and swaying shadows of trees here, making it easy to get lost. There also seems to be an invisible strange force in the air that interferes with one's five senses, sometimes causing people to make wrong decisions and judgments without realizing it.

"Outrageous! Just now, for a moment, I even forgot my own name!" Zhang Zhenshen broke out in a cold sweat, his face as pale as paper.

Jiang Chong and Zhao Shuo's souls also trembled, and they seemed to have experienced a reincarnation in a trance.

Gu Chi looked at Murong Zhixiu and the others and asked, "Are you the same?"

Murong Zhixiu frowned and nodded: "There is indeed a strange force trying to disturb my mind and spirit."

Tuoba Cang said, "We are still only outside the evil nest. The strange power is not very strong yet. Everyone should practice their own mental skills and keep their minds focused. No matter what happens, do not act rashly."

Tuoba Cang possessed certain leadership abilities, so he naturally took on the role of captain among their group and gave them careful instructions.

Soon, they saw some figures, all of whom were monks who had rushed over from other places and were also looking for a way out.

This dense forest is no less than ten thousand miles in radius and is very vast. But even so, Gu Chi and his companions still encounter some strong people from time to time on the way. You can imagine how many people have come.

Two days later, after many twists and turns, they finally came out of the dense forest and approached the location of the evil nest, which was shrouded in misty and chaotic fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Is that a volcano?" Gu Chi was surprised.

In front of us, a broken mountain stood, hollowed out inside, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

When the chaotic mist dissipates and the sky above appears, it is even more shocking.

Above the vast sky, there are scarlet stars arranged one after another, a total of thirty-three, all pressed on the broken mountains that look like volcanoes. They look particularly huge, giving people a sense of suffocation and oppression both visually and psychologically.

Rumble!

At this moment, there was a sound, and ten larger stars appeared in the sky, as if they were spinning out from the chaos. The light was so bright that it looked more than ten times larger than the thirty-three scarlet stars. They could be called ten suns in the sky!

Everyone in the group looked shocked.

Ten suns appeared in the sky, surrounded by thirty-three stars and moons, all of which were as red as blood and full of evil. What was going on?

This is definitely a grand event. The ten suns and the thirty-three stars and moons are all imprisoned in mid-air. The scarlet blood light shines in all directions, and the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles seem to be covered with a layer of red gauze. It is really shocking.

"Rumble"

Suddenly, the world shook again, and an even more shocking scene appeared.

Three thousand huge stars appeared in the sky, colorful and shining, as if they had rolled down from the quiet and chaotic universe, hanging in the sky and slowly moving.

If you look carefully enough, you can see dark red blood spots on those stars, which looks very strange.

"Although it looks right in front of me, it feels so far away. There must be an insurmountable void in between." Gu Chi whispered.

Obviously, there is a unique set of spatial laws at work here. Things seem to be close at hand, but there is actually an endless distance between them.

Gu Chi activated the method of peeping into the void recorded in the Qingming Sutra. He looked forward with his eyes shining with divine light. The scene in his eyes really changed all of a sudden. They were still a very long distance away from the so-called evil nest, separated by many divine realms and demonic lands.

"There is a spiritual lake there, with spiritual fish with colorful tails swimming in it!"

Gu Chi was surprised. The spiritual fish she recognized was one she had seen recorded in a tattered ancient book. It was called anchovy, named because its tail was a brilliant red color, shaped like the feathers of a phoenix.

Because their flesh and blood have the medicinal effect of prolonging life, they have been killed in large numbers and are now basically extinct in the outside world. I didn’t expect that they can still reproduce here.

There is also an area where there is a very conspicuous sacred tree, which is full of crystal clear and plump fruits and is surrounded by a sacred atmosphere.

The trunk of the tree is as vigorous as a coiled dragon, with brilliant colors and luxuriant branches. There are many cultivators hanging around nearby, all trying to get closer in order to pick the magical fruit.

In another area, there is an ancient palace floating up and down in a magnificent river, rumbling as if someone is chanting scriptures. It is not known whether it is due to the impact of the water or there is really a powerful Taoist sound resounding.

"What a great place!" Gu Chi was amazed. Putting aside the inheritance of the sages in the evil nest, the outer areas alone were worth their exploration. The various opportunities and fortunes were simply dazzling.

As far as the eye can see, there is almost no barren land, and all of them are home to extraordinary and magical things.

They didn't stop and strode forward.

After walking for a distance, a bright light suddenly appeared under their feet, and a path appeared, carrying them forward and directly into an area.

"Why did I come here for no apparent reason?" Gu Chi was speechless. This area was not her primary target.

Compared with other areas, this place is obviously much poorer. Looking around, there are no divine objects to be seen. However, the spiritual energy here is also astonishingly rich, almost condensing into water droplets.

"It doesn't matter. These areas are adjacent to each other. We can explore them one by one." Tuoba Cang said.

In this area, you can see dozens of top-grade spiritual medicines just by looking up. If they were placed in the outside world, a spiritual peak could only produce one or two plants at most, but here they grow in large numbers.

The main reason is that there is abundant spiritual energy here, which can fully provide what they need for growth.

In addition, the ancient trees here are also very tall, with clear and emerald green leaves, just like they were carved out of jade, flowing with green brilliance and full of vitality.

Unfortunately, they are not sacred trees, nor do they produce any magical fruits, and are of no use at all.

Of course, the so-called uselessness only applies to other people. In the eyes of Gu Chi and Big Black Dog, these trees are very good materials for making coffins.

"Ah-"

Gu Chi raised his hand and swept out a purple divine light, cutting a large piece of the tree in front of him in half, and then cut off all the branches and leaves and put them into the Heaven-Swallowing Bag.

They walked forward, but before they had gone far, they were blocked by a group of monks.

More than a dozen young men and women came from the front, each of them dressed in silk and brocade, with luxurious clothes and extraordinary demeanor. The men were handsome and heroic, and the women were beautiful and charming.
