The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Just as Long Xuan was lost in his thoughts, things began unfolding exactly as he had anticipated.

Without any warning, an clone of the Gu Clan's old ancestor suddenly made a move. With just two strikes, he effortlessly dealt with the two subordinates at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage who were behind Miao Dongdong.

Miao Dongdong's expression froze, and then his face changed dramatically as he angrily shouted, "You must be blind! How dare you attack me! Do you even know who I am?"

"Heh! Aren't you just the grandson of the Miao Clan's old fellow? You have good talent, but you're not too bright. You took something you shouldn't have, so I have no choice but to apologize to that old fellow," the Gu Clan's old ancestor replied with a mocking expression.

"You must be seeking death! Do you really think I'm a fool for revealing my treasures so casually? Since I dared to show them, I'm not afraid of you taking action. Let me tell you, even if everyone here joined forces, you wouldn't be my match!"

"I'm the Miao Clan's top genius, possessing two peak-grade Gu insects. If you dare to attack me, you're courting death!"

"I'm telling you! You've messed with the wrong person! You're finished!" Miao Dongdong sneered, clearly not taking the person before him seriously.

He lightly patted his storage bag, and instantly, a praying mantis and a slug jumped out.

The slug landed on his shoulder, releasing a vibrant green domain filled with vitality. Meanwhile, the red mantis leaped to the ground, brandishing its scythes and charging toward the Gu Clan's old ancestor.

This young man was indeed confident, but he was overly so. He likely had no idea what kind of terrifying existence he was about to face.

Miao Dongdong indeed had reasons to be proud, being the top genius of the Miao Clan and possessing two peak-grade Gu insects. One was the Regeneration Gu, which granted an immortal domain as long as it had the power of plants, making him invincible within it.

The other was the Grim Reaper Mantis, which had a death domain where any Gu cultivator would turn into a mindless lunatic, driven to mutual slaughter. The death domain could also absorb energy from corpses to heal any injuries, allowing the mantis to fight indefinitely without fear of a prolonged battle.

In this domain, as long as there were enough people, the mantis was invincible, growing stronger as it fought.

Thus, when Miao Dongdong claimed that everyone together wasn't his match, he wasn't exaggerating. With the Grim Reaper Mantis in hand, he truly had the power to wipe out everyone, which was likely why he dared to reveal his treasures so boldly.

But that was assuming there were no Gu Kings hidden among the crowd. He could never have imagined that two Gu Kings might shamelessly mingle with the group, could he?

Who could have anticipated such a thing? No matter how tough he was, could he be tougher than two Gu Kings?

So he was destined to face a tragedy, one that Long Xuan couldn't bear to watch.

However, Long Xuan didn't forget his primary task and secretly took out a image recording Gu to record the intense and exciting scene.

At this moment, everyone was stunned. Was that person insane, attacking the grandson of the Miao Clan's old ancestor?

They were all witnesses, and with so many present, the Miao Clan's old ancestor would easily find out who the culprit was once they left. Wasn't he afraid of the Miao Clan's old ancestor's revenge?

Or did he plan to go all the way and kill them all to silence them?

That seemed a bit too arrogant, didn't it? There were over fifty people here, half of whom were at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage. Could one person take on such a large group? Who gave him the courage, everyone thought disdainfully.

However, that thought barely formed before the entire crowd was stunned, finally realizing something was wrong.

The person was dueling with the Grim Reaper Mantis, single-blade style against dual-blade style. His swordsmanship was incredibly skilled, as if he'd been practicing for hundreds of years, far beyond what a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator should possess.

In just a few exchanges, he successfully severed one of the Grim Reaper Mantis's arms, shocking everyone and making them gasp.

At that moment, they finally realized the death domain of the Grim Reaper Mantis was completely ineffective against this person!

With the domain nullified and the swordsmanship unmatched, the peak-grade Gu insect was no match for this person.

The only possibility that could render the death domain ineffective was realm suppression—this person wasn't a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator at all but an old monster who had lived for countless years.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, their faces turning pale as they realized the gravity of the situation.

Miao Dongdong, his eyes red, shouted to the crowd, "Run! He's not a Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivator; he's an clone of the Gu Clan's old ancestor!"

As his words fell, he ordered the Grim Reaper Mantis, now missing an arm, to cover his retreat as he desperately fled toward one of the tunnels. At this point, all his previous confidence and arrogance were gone.

But before he could run far, a giant spider suddenly leaped down from above, swallowing him and the Regeneration Gu whole. After chewing twice, it swallowed them into its belly, leaving everyone watching in horror.

"Heh! So what if you're immortal in a land of plants? As long as you're isolated from such an environment and then shattered, I don't believe you can survive," a voice said.

The Feng Clan's old ancestor, who had been hiding all along, finally revealed himself. At this moment, he no longer pretended and showed his true colors.

Everyone's scalp tingled. Another Gu King!

It was said that Gu Kings were forbidden from entering the ancient tomb, yet they dared to blatantly violate the agreement. Everyone's faces turned grim.

"Heh! Old fellow from the Gu Clan, we killed him together. How about we split the spoils evenly?" the Feng Clan's old ancestor proposed with a smile.

The Gu Clan's old ancestor was visibly surprised; this person had hidden so deeply that even he hadn't known another Gu King was among the crowd. They had the same idea—a kindred spirit.

When two people of the same rank fight, there's no guarantee of victory, so he didn't want a full-blown conflict. If they could split the spoils peacefully, that would be ideal.

So he nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Good! I was thinking the same. But how about we split Miao Dongdong's Spirit Surge Grass evenly? As for the Spirit Surge Grass from the others, whoever grabs it keeps it."

The Gu Clan's old ancestor looked at the group of Gu cultivators with a cruel gaze, making them tremble in fear.

"Hahaha... I was thinking the same thing. Since they already know our secret, we can't let them leave!"

"Kill them! Leave no one alive!" The Feng Clan's old ancestor revealed a ruthless expression and mercilessly killed several Feng Clan Gu cultivators beside him.

This matter was of utmost importance, especially the killing of Miao Dongdong. It could never be exposed, and the fewer people who knew, the better. Even his own people might leak the information, so to ensure nothing went wrong, he decided to kill them too.

After all, those Feng Clan Gu cultivators were old, of low talent, and a waste of the family's resources. Killing them was of no consequence to him.

And just like that, the once-proud Feng Clan Gu cultivators fell into pools of blood, their eyes wide with disbelief. They couldn't believe their own ancestor would turn on them, dying with their eyes wide open, filled with regret.

"Hahaha... Indeed, you're a true hero, killing even your own. I can't be left behind either—these Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivators are worthless."

At this point, the Grim Reaper Mantis had already died due to its owner's death, freeing the Gu Clan's old ancestor. He tossed out his Blood Blade, which danced in the air as if it had a will of its own, swiftly decapitating all the Gu Clan Gu cultivators in an instant.

Heads rolled, their eyes wide open in death, unable to rest in peace.

After quickly dealing with his own people, the Gu Clan's old ancestor immediately lunged forward at top speed toward the elder who had traded for seventy stalks of Spirit Surge Grass.

Since they agreed that whoever grabs the Spirit Surge Grass keeps it, and since that elder had the most, he naturally became the first target.

As expected, the Feng Clan's old ancestor had the same idea and also aimed to kill the elder holding seventy stalks of Spirit Surge Grass.

The elder, facing the combined might of two Gu Kings, felt immense pressure. Seeing this, he turned pale, gave up resisting, and closed his eyes in despair.

The two Gu Kings effortlessly killed him. Since they attacked simultaneously, they split the contents of his storage bag evenly.

Then the two of them unleashed a brutal massacre on the crowd. With two Gu Kings in action, it was a bloodbath with no survivors.

Don't think that scattering and fleeing would allow a few to survive—would a Gu King not foresee such a possibility?

The giant spider that had just devoured Miao Dongdong, a peak-grade Gu insect known as the Ghost Extinguishing Demon Spider, had razor-sharp legs that easily pierced through human bodies as it charged into the crowd.

At the same time, it spat out webs it had already woven, trapping the fastest runners, preventing their escape.
