Chapter 287: Chapter 190: The Death of Wenren Wu, The Longevity Pill Drawn

Gu Wen proved to be stronger than he had imagined; even at the same cultivation level of the Sixth Level fulfilled, it was nearly impossible for him to defeat Gu Wen, who possessed three major qualifications to become an Immortal. Even utilizing an additional level of fulfillment was of no help in reality.

The Sixth Level fulfilled is the fulfillment of the Nascent Soul; the frequency of Daoist Skills depends on Mana, while the power depends on the Divine Soul. The stronger the Divine Soul, the more condensed the Daoist Skills formed by Mana.

A Great Divine Power User can gather tremendous Mana, as vast as a mountain range, and condense it into a needle; hence, it is also referred to as Divine Skills.

"I might be able to save you."

Gu Wen reached into his embrace and brought out a White Feathered Bird; the Immortality Pill could increase Heavenly Life and was the only thing that could save him.

Wenren Wu no longer had the strength to investigate and said weakly with a smile, "I’m afraid I cannot afford that price."

"You can afford it. You just need to betray the court and join the Nanchun Army, then Daqian will be one step closer to death."

Gu Wen presented a very simple request; with Wenren Wu’s reputation, his disappearance alone would deal a final blow to the already tottering Daqian.

If he joined the Nanchun Army, the whole of Daqian would fall to them.

Gu Wen was set on conquering the world; he did not fancy the bird throne but coveted the Spiritual Objects in the Immortal Land. An unworthy Emperor in one month is a thousand years of Heavenly Marrow, ten months would be enough for his immortality.

Wenren Wu shook his head and said, "That is the price I cannot pay. His Majesty has been unjust to me, but I cannot allow myself to become unjust as well."

"Obstinate."

That was Gu Wen’s assessment. He put away the White Feathered Bird, no longer intending to use it on Wenren Wu.

Although they harbored no mortal grudges, they shared no relationship either. If Wenren Wu was completely useless to him and might even cause trouble, it was better for him to die here.

He did not have the magnanimity of a prime minister to try and capture Wenren Wu a third time.

Seeing this, Wenren Wu held no regret. His voice grew weaker, "Perhaps, haha... But since he is so heartless, I should also let him know the role of humankind. Do you know that the Emperor refined the Longevity Pill?"

"Of course." Gu Wen grew interested; he had always been curious about the worth of the Longevity Pill, which used up so many herbs and how much Heavenly Marrow essence it was worth.

"Thirty years ago, when the Longevity Pill furnace was opened, the catalyst was the Immortality Pill."

As soon as these words were spoken, a powerful Divine Thought assaulted from behind, only to vanish in an instant.

Turning his head, Gu Wen saw Yu Hua standing behind him at some point, and the Divine Thought of the Lord Emperor in her hands had disappeared.

She said, "Continue."

"...Before the furnace was opened, a mysterious person met frequently with His Majesty. Later one day, a battle broke out in the imperial palace. By the time I arrived, I only saw His Majesty throw a severed arm into it, and he told me it was the Immortality Pill."

Wenren Wu’s breath grew fainter, his eyelids drooping, but he persisted in finishing his words.

"In truth, the Longevity Pill requires a whole Immortality Pill. From the beginning, we never intended to collaborate with your Daoist Sect. Do you have any other questions?"

Yu Hua asked, "Is the Immortality Pill male or female? What do they look like?"

"I don’t know; they always wore a wide, loose cloak." Wenren Wu shook his head, "Silent and unnoticeable with no apparent level; yet, they were able to injure His Majesty, especially when Daqian’s Qi Fortune was at its peak, even within the imperial palace."

Gu Wen plucked a feather, intending to thrust it at Wenren Wu, but the old general bit down hard on his teeth, refusing to let go until his last breath.

Just as he had stubbornly refused to use pills to forcibly advance his strength.

It turns out not all cultivators were ordinary people.

Gu Wen took the Immortality Pill into his mouth, feeling forty years of Heavenly Marrow enter his account and the pulsation of his Fate Diagram.

[Fate Diagram for Immortality reduces by eighty years, requiring nine thousand four hundred years of Heavenly Marrow]
