The Way of the Immortal Master

Gu Lao was talking about the past, and he started to cry out.

He admitted frankly that without the cultivation of the Dark Alliance, it would be impossible for him to have the cultivation level he is today, let alone cultivate a brilliant celestial technique.

But he also paid a lot for the Dark Alliance.

In the past thousands of years, he has used the secret technique many times to deduce for the top leaders of the dark alliance and help them make major strategic decisions.

There is a price to be paid for using the secret technique to deduce.

Although the top management of the dark alliance thought of many ways to help Gu Lao avoid the backlash of the secrets and reduce the price he paid.

But after so many years of accumulation, he still paid a heavy price and suffered extremely serious injuries.

Gu Lao's path in this life is completely hopeless, and his lifespan is not much left.

He has already exhausted all available means of prolonging his life, but none of them can prevent death from coming.

Meng Zhang was very surprised when Gu Lao said these inner thoughts in front of Meng Zhang, a stranger whom he met for the first time.

Following Gu Lao's words, he praised Gu Lao for his hard work and expressed regret for Gu Lao's situation.

Void Returning Power has a lifespan of nearly 10,000 years.

Of course, due to different personal circumstances, the difference in the length of life is still relatively large.

Cultivators have established their rule in Junchen Realm for less than ten thousand years.

A veteran who established a branch of the Junchen Realm's Dark Alliance like Gu Lao, if he has a good way of maintaining his health, he should not be at the age when his lifespan is exhausted.

Due to the backlash of the secrets, the lifespan of the masters of heaven is often much shorter than that of monks of the same rank.

Probably something hurts its kind, Meng Zhang does have some sympathy for this rare fellow Tianji master, and he also has some sympathy for his words.

Given Gu Lao's contribution and importance to the Dark Alliance, the Dark Alliance will do everything possible to extend his life.

It's a pity that it is impossible to continue to prolong his life with the background of the dark alliance, and it is even more impossible for Meng Zhang.

While talking, Gu Lao seemed to casually ask about Tai Miao's origin.

The relationship between Taiyimen and Taimiao seems to be very clear, but in the eyes of discerning people, the close relationship between the two parties is no secret.

With the means of the Dark Alliance, it is not difficult to know that Tai Miao and the Taiyi Sect are closely cooperating.

Ever since meeting Gu Lao, Meng Zhang has never let down his vigilance towards him.

Gu Lao seemed to mention Tai Miao inadvertently, but Meng Zhang was not careless, and still gave the standard answer. Tai Miao and Taiyi Sect had cooperated before, and it was purely a relationship of interest. The two parties basically have no contact with each other now.

Taiyimen didn't know much about Taimiao's origins, except that he seemed to be a ghost from the underworld, and was introduced to Meng Zhang by the deceased Taiyimen senior Guishenshouwang.

Other than that, Taiyi Sect didn't have any further understanding of him.

Gu Lao seemed to be just asking casually, he didn't get entangled in this topic at all, and soon talked about other things.

The words and deeds of Gu Lao and other people have profound meanings, and Meng Zhang dare not ignore them in the slightest.

He pondered in his mind, why did Gu Lao ask such wonderful things?

After the Yuanshen and Zhenjun in the realm of comprehension lose their physical body, only the Yuanshen is left, and the Yuanshen can enter the underworld and transform into the acquired ghosts and gods.

It's just that such acquired ghosts and gods will change their personalities drastically, and the upper limit of their cultivation is basically locked.

In the process of Tai Miao's conquest of the underworld, his Hou Tian ghosts and gods frequently participated in the battle, revealing a lot of his roots.

The acquired ghosts and gods under Tai Miao's subordinates have not changed much compared to their former lives, and they don't seem to be under too many shackles, and their cultivation has improved rapidly.

Especially after the Extreme Sword God General and several Dharma Guardian God Generals broke through the void return period, it shows that as long as the acquired ghosts and gods have the help of Tai Miao, they can also be free from the innate shackles.

Although Tai Miao now dominates the underworld, his rule over the underworld is definitely not strict.

Among his subordinates, there must be acquired ghosts and ghosts who are still secretly communicating with the forces of the yang world.

It is unavoidable for some of Tai Miao's special abilities to be exposed and passed on to the mortal world.

Could it be that Gu Lao wants to use Tai Miao's power to transform into an acquired ghost, that's why he is so interested in Tai Miao?

As soon as he had this thought in his mind, Meng Zhang denied it.

After Yuanshen Zhenjun transforms into acquired ghosts and gods, his life span cannot be extended.

If it is the kind of Yuanshen Zhenjun whose lifespan is about to be exhausted, because the Yuanshen becomes weak, it is impossible to withstand the transformation process, let alone transform into an acquired ghost.

The most important thing is that Gu Lao is not the True Lord of Primordial Spirit, but the mighty Void Returner.

In the history of Junchen Realm, there has never been a time when Void Returning Power was transformed into acquired ghosts and gods. Even if Tai Miao becomes the overlord of the underworld, he does not have such ability.

According to common sense, as soon as the powerful Yang God of returning to the void enters the underworld, he will be repelled and attacked by the rules of heaven and earth in the underworld, and he will not be able to gain a foothold here.

If he didn't want to transform into an acquired ghost, then why did Gu Lao pay attention to Tai Miao?

It has only been thousands of years for the cultivators to establish their rule in the Junchen Realm, and many Void Returning Powers in the Junchen Realm have fallen, but it should be extremely rare for them to sit down because of the exhaustion of their lifespan.

After the Void-Returning Almighty Life Essence ends naturally, the imprint of the Yang God enshrined in the depths of the Junchen Realm will also slowly disappear, and naturally there will be no possibility of rebirth.

Meng Zhang has heard and seen it with his own eyes. Too many monks have done crazy things because their lifespan is exhausted and they are about to perish.

Gu Lao probably died soon, so he went to the doctor in a hurry, right?

Tai Miao can't help Gu Lao, and it's even more impossible for Meng Zhang to expose his true relationship with Tai Miao.

Gu Lao said that it was rare for him to meet a fellow celestial master, and he was such a brilliant celestial master as Meng Zhang.

He made no secret of his admiration for Meng Zhang, and generously released his family's kindness.

Gu Lao's sympathy for each other seems to have infected Meng Zhang, and he chatted with Gu Lao more and more vigorously.

Seeing that Gu Lao was in a good mood, Meng Zhang tentatively asked about the dark alliance.

Except for some information that was too confidential, Mr. Gu answered most of Meng Zhang's questions very readily.

Meng Zhang even mentioned the matter of helping Shangzun Chu Hui capture the tricky Jiao before.

Without Meng Zhang asking, Gu Lao took the initiative to tell the purpose of the trick.

As a result, the sly dragon can refine the sly dragon's Taoist soldiers.

The tricky dragon Taoist soldiers are excellent assassins, they can easily assassinate ordinary Yuanshen Zhenjun.

If its quantity is sufficient, it can even pose a threat to the Void Returning Power.

Secondly, the special kung fu practiced by Master Chu Hui requires the use of materials such as sly dragons.

The fast-talking Gu Lao even took the initiative to tell the secret method of refining the tricky Taoist soldiers.

Gu Lao was so friendly, it was beyond Meng Zhang's expectation.

Meng Zhang wanted to ask for information about the Hidden Mystery Mansion, but he hesitated for a while and gave up.

He didn't let his guard down because of Gu Lao's friendly attitude.

To him, Gu Lao has always been a stranger.

Moreover, since the Dark Alliance can collude with the Demon Dao, it is not worthy of my trust.

Thank you old friend Feiqiyi for your many rewards.
