Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Chapter 362: Sage Law (Part 2)

Suddenly, Gu Chi became alert and all the hairs on her body stood up. Without any hesitation, she immediately cut off her connection with the cushion, suppressed the urge to continue comprehending, and withdrew her mind.

"Did you gain anything?" Murong Zhixiu asked hurriedly, and the others also cast inquiring glances.

Gu Chi said solemnly, "That should be a secret method involving body movement and speed, possibly created by ancient sages. However, if you want to comprehend it, you may be in danger of your life!"

Just in the instant before, she felt the threat of death. If she did not retract her spiritual thoughts in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

"The method of the saint, I have already encountered it. It would be such a pity if I missed it." Tuoba Cang frowned, unwilling to return with nothing.

Zhang Zhen, who had always been as timid as a mouse, took the initiative to stand up at this time and said, "How about I split off an incarnation and go up to find out what's going on?"

He felt that he had not been of any help at all along the way, and had received so many benefits just by following behind and pointing the way. He felt a little guilty.

Therefore, he took the initiative to propose this idea.

Gu Chi and the others all looked at him in surprise. Zuo Shiji smacked his lips and looked Zhang Zhen up and down, saying, "Have you been possessed by someone? This selfless look is not like you at all."

Zhang Zhen glared and said, "Don't look down on me! I'm a coward, yes, but when it's my turn to contribute, I won't hesitate at all!"

After saying that, he added, "At most, it's just the death of an incarnation and the loss of some of the original power. It's no big deal!"

Gu Chi looked at him and said, "That's hard to say. If that invisible murderous intent traces its source and implicates your main body, none of us can save you."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhen couldn't help but shrink his neck. Thinking of the possibility that Gu Chi mentioned, he felt a little scared.

But then he thought again, he had already received so many benefits from Gu Chi, if he didn't dare to take even a little risk, his spine might be broken by Zuo Shiji, who had always disliked him.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'Everyone has to die, some are lighter than a feather, some are heavier than Mount Tai!'" Zuo Shiji put a hand on Zhang Zhen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Little Zhen, we've gone through so many hardships together, you better not lose face now."

"The worst that can happen is death! And the possibility of that happening is not that great!" Zhang Zhen almost shouted out loud to give himself courage.

"Good boy, this is what a man should do!"

"Well done!"

"Stand up straight and be alert!"

Several other small bandits as well as Jiang Chong, Zhao Shuo and others also gave thumbs up.

Gu Chi patted his shoulder appreciatively and said, "Brave young man, I'm optimistic about you."

After saying that, they all retreated in unison, not daring to get too close to the cushion, for fear that they would be lost inexplicably like those supreme heroes of ancient times.

Zhang Zhen held his head high and chest out, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, using the power of the origin to differentiate into an incarnation.

Gu Chi and others stared carefully from a distance, craning their necks to watch closely.

The incarnation strode forward, but was stopped when it was still three or four feet away from the cushion. The light in front of him was flashing and dazzling, like a barrier that prevented him from moving his legs.

Finally, he simply sat down on the ground and tried to explore the secret of sensing the cushion with his spiritual thoughts. Judging from his expression and aura, he seemed to be immersed in it.

"Read out the scriptures you heard!" Zhang Zhen's main body shouted.

They were on the periphery, and although they could hear the vast sound of the great Dao of heaven and earth, it was very hazy and they could not hear any scriptures clearly. They could only hear the sound but could not understand its meaning.

However, the incarnation had only spoken two sentences when the voice was cut off by an invisible secret force, and Zhang Zhen's main body also lost contact with him and could no longer communicate with him through telepathy.

"That cushion is indeed very evil." Tuoba Cang said in a low voice.

Zhang Zhen's incarnation sat quietly in front, as if he was seriously comprehending the scriptures on the cushion. From a distance, he looked sacred and peaceful, with an inexplicable aura flowing around him.

Soon, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and their bodies went cold, because the cushion silently emitted a cold light, condensed into a sharp blade, flew out at a high speed, and slashed towards the eyebrows of Zhang Zhen's incarnation.

"what--"

He screamed miserably, and he tried his best to sacrifice several secret treasures, but what was surprising was that those secret treasures seemed to pass through the void, and did not collide with the cold divine light that turned into a sharp blade, and were about to be pierced straight through his eyebrow spiritual platform.

Driven by the instinct for survival, his soul turned into a stream of light, trying to escape back to his main body.

"Damn it! Don't come back!"

Zhang Zhen was so frightened that he screamed and his face turned pale.

"chi"

The light blade that flew out from the cushion changed its direction. It did not directly penetrate into his forehead, but soared into the sky and caught up with his soul. The two were entangled with each other and fought fiercely.

"puff!"

Zhang Zhen's main body opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, because his incarnation's soul was destroyed, and even his physical body turned into rain of light and disappeared directly.

"How about letting me go up and try again?" Zhao Shuo stepped forward and volunteered.

Zhang Zhen's face was pale. After losing an incarnation, his main body also suffered a certain backlash. He took the elixir handed to him by Gu Chi, took it, and began to meditate to heal his wounds.

"Let me give it a try!" Zhao Shuo also used the power of origin to differentiate out an incarnation that was exactly the same as himself.

He felt that the cold light just now was not very strong. The reason why it was able to kill Zhang Zhen was simply because the latter's strength was too weak. He might be able to withstand it.

However, when Zhao Shuo's incarnation was only three or four feet away from the cushion, it encountered the same situation as Zhang Zhen. It was blocked by a hazy barrier and could not move forward even half a step.

Afterwards, his incarnation sat down on the ground and carefully comprehended the profound meaning of the scriptures in the Great Dao Heavenly Sound.

At first, he could recite a sentence or two, but he was soon blocked.

"call out!"

When the incarnation was extremely devoted and immersed in the state of enlightenment, a cold divine light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, went straight through the hole between his eyebrows.

Even a genius as powerful as Zhao Shuo was defeated by his incarnation. His soul was destroyed on the spot and his body turned into rain of light and dissipated. He was not much better off than Zhang Zhen.

"puff"

Zhao Shuo opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as a dead person. He immediately took out a precious medicine and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged on the ground to recover his strength.

"Why is the result like this?!"

Zhao Shuo was horrified because the power of the cold divine light he encountered was several times more terrifying than what Zhang Zhen had just encountered. They were completely on a different level.
