Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 433 - 251: Battle of the Two Kings - Total War_2

```

"Wait until your father has chosen a Gu for you, then establish your Foundation."

Chen Dan bowed and said, "Yes, Mother, I understand."

After Xuanping left, Chen Dan sat in the hall, murmuring to himself, "Three points of literary fortune, is it really only three points of literary fortune?"

"But if Father isn’t blessed with literary fortune, how could he write such a profound Gu Book? Strange, truly strange."

Da Yan.

Many families opened their long-sealed doors, "As you go forth, be sure to exhaust every effort to help the prince seize the Death Realm and defeat Nanli!"

"At all costs!"

"Even if the younger generation falls entirely, we must win!"

"We have invested too much, we cannot afford to lose. We must win!"

This scene played out in each major family. Everyone understood that this grand gamble was nearing its end; the ultimate victor would gain everything, while the loser faced only death.

It wasn’t that they didn’t cherish their descendants, but the benefits brought by this King Chasing Battle were too great.

This time was unlike three hundred years ago. Three hundred years ago, there were no Six Dao Ghosts.

The Four Pillars King Gu never appeared in the world, while the Six Dao Ghosts were the strongest King Gu in existence!

The King Gu that carried the power of heaven and earth, Extreme Strength!

Furthermore, these Da Yan families suddenly thought of a terrifying thing.

That is, Chen Qing was different from the Master of Mortal World three hundred years ago. The one from three hundred years ago only suppressed the Death Realm with his strength for sixty years before being quickly killed upon coming out. A mere Jiguang Sect couldn’t protect him.

But Chen Qing was different!

Chen Qing was not only a senior member of the Jiguang Sect but also the Divine Favored of Miao God, as well as the Direct Disciple of the Haoran True Monarch. Previously, there were rumors of a romantic entanglement between Chen Qing and the Sword Bearer from the Sword Travel Palace, making it very possible that the Sword Travel Palace had also joined in.

Behind Chen Qing could stand three major sects.

Moreover, the fundamental difference between Chen Qing and that former Master of Mortal World lay in the abundant literary fortune he possessed. Being able to write Gu Books ensured the three major sects would certainly find a way to protect him!

The Master of Mortal World three hundred years ago was an unexpected force who took someone else’s position.

But Chen Qing was different; he brought prosperity to the entire Nanli and the whole Jiguang Sect, which were entirely different concepts!

He was of great use to both Nanli and the Jiguang Sect!

The most terrifying thing about Chen Qing was that he wasn’t solely a cultivator focused on fighting. In reality, this guy was a production-focused cultivator!

His martial achievements and power were so immense that many people forgot this point.

More frighteningly, Chen Qing had the King Gu Emperor Earth.

The existence of the Undying Decree could very well allow Chen Qing, even after leaving the Death Realm, to continue maintaining his rule over the Death Realm through the Undying Dragon Cavalry.

This meant that if Chen Qing succeeded in becoming king, his rule over the Death Realm could be irreversible, lasting until his death.

After his death, the Emperor Earth would be inherited by his descendants, potentially extending his rule over the Death Realm once more!

The permanent control of a realm’s ruling authority would be an extremely difficult outcome for other major sects to accept.

In order for their disciples to ascend to the Mystic Gate Realm, they would have to make significant concessions to Nanli and the Jiguang Sect!

The Jiguang Sect even had a chance to use the advancement to the Mystic Gate Realm as a bargaining chip to reverse their reputation and return to being a legitimate sect.

"Exhaust every effort to cut down what Qingxu or Taiyi is!"

This was the shared cry of the Da Yan families.

...

At the foot of Longevity Mountain, in a guest house, King Wu sat in the first chair on the left, his authoritative gaze sweeping over the kings, "Now that Chen Qing fights Ji Dang in the Death Realm, the battle is intense."

"I intend to issue the King’s Assistance Order, calling upon all Foundation Establishment at Great Perfection to enter the Death Realm for the king. What do you all think?"

The Water King, clad in exceedingly luxurious clothing, sternly shouted, "The King’s Assistance Order? Chen Qing hasn’t yet been anointed by the Miao God, and you want to issue the King’s Assistance Order for him; this is overstepping!"

"We kings will absolutely not agree!"

"The weight of royal power isn’t something a mere Ghost Mask realm can bear!"

King Lin, playing with a pair of Ruyi Pearls in his hand, with a hint of cunning in his merchant’s eyes, wore a goatee and golden king attire, "Water King’s dynasty is coming to an end; you should be concerned about your own dynasty’s issue."

"In forty-two years, your dynasty is about to end. When the Water King removes the crown and buries his ancestral Jiangshan Society, I will surely be present, hahaha!"

Flame King, with his fiery red hair and a robust physique, glared angrily at King Wu, clearly still resenting King Wu for suddenly sending troops to clear out Phoenix Nest Jiezi Mountain, "I don’t agree! The nobility of the royal throne is rare in the world; how can a mere Ghost Mask realm like Chen Qing be worthy of the King’s Assistance Order?"

King Wu leisurely said, "Here is the council of the Nine Kings, your disagreements are useless. So, King Lin, King You, King Ye, King Tie, King Li, what do you think?"

King Ye, dressed in a Confucian robe, took a glance around; having once cultivated at Haoran Temple, his stance was clear and undeniable, "Chen Qing, bearing the worldly literary fortune and having the appearance of Prince Wen, his literary fortune and Martial Virtue exhibit kingly signs, issuing the King’s Assistance Order now isn’t an issue; I agree."

King You and King Li, with less prestigious titles, had always had a low voice of authority, both opting to abstain.

King Tie, clad in iron armor with an eight-angled pattern on his forehead, said gravely, "I also agree with this matter, but I have one requirement: Chen Qing’s palace must be built in Iron Country after he becomes king!"

"After all, with all nine kings present, he won’t have his own fief when he becomes king; I will reluctantly accept him."

King Ye, hearing this, immediately slapped the table and stood up, "King Tie, your desolate land can’t support a second royal palace!"

"My land of Ye, rich and fertile, with Immortal Cave Heaven and plentiful feng shui treasures, should have the royal palace!"

King Lin shouted fiercely, "In wealth, who can surpass me? Lin Country gathers treasures from all over, flowing throughout the world, doing business across the Four Seas!"

"After becoming king, Chen Qing will surely need vast quantities of Gu cultivation materials and Gu, building his palace in Lin Country is the best option!"

King Wu chuckled, fully understanding the intentions of these old fellows.

If Chen Qing succeeded in becoming king, he would likely be Prince Wen, and his ability to write Gu Books would be beneficial to any country.

Moreover, Prince Wen and King Wu had always been the most honorable titles. It indicated that such a noble branch might very well birth a True Monarch.

Recruiting Chen Qing could never be wrong.

What they feared more was Chen Qing establishing his palace in Wu Country after becoming king.

That would be the real cataclysm.

Everyone knew King Wu desired the veneration of all kings.

If he truly gained the assistance of a Prince Wen, the entire Nanli would live under King Wu’s shadow.

King Wu chuckled and made a slight bow to the south, "If this matter cannot be resolved, then I shall seek an audience with both the Demon Suppressing True Monarch and the Haoran True Monarch."

The Water King, seething with anger, snorted coldly and closed his mouth.

Behind King Wu was the Demon Suppressing True Monarch, and behind Chen Qing was the Haoran True Monarch.

If the decrees from both True Monarchs were required to settle this matter, they would surely offend them both.

Flame King remained silent, "Just wait!"

"When my True Monarch emerges from seclusion, we will discuss this further!"

King Wu laughed heartily, clapping his hands, "Bring up the King’s Assistance Order for the kings to seal!"

That day, the Nine Kings of Nanli issued a King’s Assistance Order throughout the world, with the eight great king cities at Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment emptying their nests.

North of the North Sea, in the extreme north.

In the endless wind and snow, an old man sat atop a small boat, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, with a straight fishing rod in his hand, casting into the North Sea.

Yao Ji walked across the ice and kneeled, "Supreme Crownless, the final battle in the Death Realm has begun, should we send someone to retrieve the King Gu Iron Horse Ice River?"

The old man shook his head, "It’s merely a King Gu, let him have it!"

"He is the one chosen by the Sect Hierarch, let us see why the Sect Hierarch selected him."

Yao Ji said, "In the presence of the Supreme Crownless, everything in this world is mere insects, does the Supreme Crownless still need to observe anyone?"

The old man smiled, "Insects will not always remain as insects."

"Just watch and see what kind of disturbance he can create."

Yao Ji asked, "Supreme Crownless, you fish with a straight hook, what are you fishing for?"

The old man said, "I am not fishing for fish, I’m angling for dragons; the dragon tribe’s fortune is about to end."
