Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

Sure, here is the translation of the provided text:

When he tried to resist again, he found that Zhang Can had already gripped his sword and approached him.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed, "He's gripping the sword!"

"Zhang Can is gripping the sword!"

"It's only just begun, and Zhang Can has already gripped his sword!"

"Does this mean Qingxu is seen as so powerful in Zhang Can's eyes?"

"Does Zhang Can truly believe Qingxu has the strength to fight him, or does he want to end the battle with one strike?"

"Oh no, there's no escaping this!"

"Is he aiming to pierce the heart with one sword?"

Chen Qing slightly sidestepped to avoid the sword directly piercing through his chest, yet he still couldn't completely avoid it.

"The first sword is called Great Sun!"

His opponent used the sword as a knife, slicing open his abdomen, and with it, Zhang Can entered inside him.

Hao Chengtian, witnessing this, narrowed his eyes slightly, "As expected of Zhang Can, he found the weakness of Fatian Xiangdi so soon!"

"Once you charge into the opponent's body, the opponent has no solution!"

Lu Xian's expression was slightly anxious, "What can be done?"

Yet Hao Chengtian replied, "No, Qingxu doesn't seem very worried!"

"Qingxu has a backup plan!"

Zhang Jianfeng slapped his forehead, "Right, how did I not think of entering his body back then!"

Moments later, he sighed, "Hmm, it seems I can't break through the opponent's extremely strong body with one sword like senior brother did."

Yu Chengfeng, listening to Zhang Jianfeng's words, clenched his fists. "Zhang Can is inside the body now, what can be done?"

But Zhang Can, entering Chen Qing's abdomen, initially intended to act immediately, but found the surroundings pitch black.

The next moment, the entire abdomen lit up like a furnace.

Inside Chen Qing's abdomen, eighteen Evil Ghost Totems and a feathered snake stood vividly carved all around.

Zhang Can glanced around, feeling his Spiritual Energy rapidly draining and suddenly realized, "A magic of devouring?"

"Truly extraordinary!"

"Indeed worthy of an opponent I must face with all my strength!"

Chen Qing brushed the wound in his abdomen with his hand, and a great deal of vitality emerged from the earth.

His wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Once the wound slightly healed, he sat cross-legged, fully focused on dealing with Zhang Can within his body.

Zhang Jianfeng, seeing this scene, suddenly understood, "He wants to forcefully refine senior brother!"

Zhang Can stood there, constantly roasted by the furnace-like surroundings, with red flames rising from the eighteen Evil Ghost Images, attacking him.

These were brought by Netherworld Fishing, flames that could digest Chen Qing's soul.

The roasting by red flames caused intense pain in his soul, yet Zhang Can showed no change in expression, quietly observing.

"It turns out he intentionally let me in."

"These flames, though extraordinary and capable of burning souls, cannot harm the physical body."

The next moment, a white-winged snake flew up, spraying streams of black flames towards him.

Among the flames, there were also dozens of black chains, with an extremely powerful binding force.

These were brought by the Snake Butterfly.

Chen Qing had them before, but as no one entered his abdomen, they couldn't be used.

However, this time Zhang Can entered himself, giving Chen Qing an opportunity.

The abyssal black flames quickly attacked, and Zhang Can immediately felt threatened.

"Black fire for refining the physical body, red fire for refining the soul, no wonder I've been incited to fight him!"

"This person can genuinely be called my opponent!"

Chen Qing sensed that Zhang Can within his body didn't make many movements, perhaps still observing.

"My stomach can swallow all things of heaven and earth; just wait thirty breaths, and you'll turn into a pool of pus."

As soon as Chen Qing's words fell, he heard Zhang Can's voice from within, "The second sword is called Sword Country."

On the ground beneath him, spanning over a hundred feet, the Red Iron Land cracked inch by inch.

Within a hundred feet, thousands of sword shadows rose and fell, as if Chen Qing had suddenly entered a kingdom of swords!

Chen Qing sat cross-legged, frantically driving the Snake Butterfly and his Lifebound Light Butterfly to refine Zhang Can, while his hands were ready to use Dragon Capturing Hand to block these sword shadows at any moment.

The spectators were astounded by the strange battle that had just begun.

"It's not Zhang Can entering Qingxu's body and causing havoc at will!"

"It's Qingxu who swallowed Zhang Can?"

"Zhang Can must be in trouble inside, trying to break out!"

"I really can't imagine what kind of terrifying scene Qingxu's stomach looks like."

As the Ten Thousand Swords rained down like a storm, Chen Qing looked around, guessing how many spiritual item sword Gu Zhang Can had.

So many sword shadows could definitely not be the work of just one spiritual item sword Gu!

Chen Qing immediately moved his hands, communicating with the earth, and countless steel from the metallic earth flew up, weaving into a formation around his body.

The Ten Thousand Swords swarmed like locusts, swirling into a terrifying Sword Qi whirlwind beside Chen Qing, while the Red Iron Land crumbled inch by inch under the Sword Qi whirlwind.

But when they landed on Chen Qing, they shattered one by one as if smashing eggs against a rock.

Chen Qing immediately felt a void beneath him, and his whole body continued to fall.

Hao Chengtian's eyes gleamed with admiration, "Even if I faced this move, I'd need to use some techniques."

"Qingxu's physical body is truly extraordinary; it's probably the strongest among the younger generation."

Those shattered sword shadows didn't dissipate; they gathered with other sword shadow fragments and attacked Chen Qing once more.

Chen Qing felt troubled, "Endless cycle?"

"What a technique!"

"But as long as you can't escape, I can refine you in thirty breaths!"

Of course, Chen Qing was bluffing to scare Zhang Can; even he didn't know how long it would take to refine a living Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone a genius like Zhang Can.

Standing within the Heaven and Earth Furnace-like abdomen of Chen Qing, Zhang Can focused his thoughts on controlling the Ten Thousand Swords outside, displaying various changes.

After ten breaths, half of the Spiritual Energy in Zhang Can's body had been absorbed by Chen Qing, while the Ten Thousand Swords outside grew even more ferocious.

Chen Qing stood amidst a Sword Qi storm, with his body incessantly suffering damage.

Even with his Golden Skin and Jade Bone, protected by the Xuanhuang Qi and tempered by the Sea of Suffering, his body began to show wounds.

However, relative to his massive body, these injuries were not crucial.

Vitality surged from the ground, transforming into green lights attaching to Chen Qing's wounds, continuously healing them.

As the sword shadows fell, they struck Chen Qing's body, producing sounds like iron being hammered.

Zhang Can sensed the information coming from the Ten Thousand Swords he controlled, "This body is actually so strong?"

"Seems I need to unleash another sword."

His whole body burst with Sword Intent, and deep within the earth, an ancient sword rose, responding to his call.

"Broken Jade? Quite a fitting name."

"Then this sword shall be called Broken Jade!"

From the earth, a sword flew out, leaving residual shadows as it circled the sky three times.

Chen Qing immediately used Dragon Capturing Hand, like a small mountain pressing towards the Broken Jade Ancient Sword.

It was a jade-colored sword, entirely made of white jade—a naturally formed Stone Jade Sword!

Under the Dragon Capturing Hand, the Broken Jade Sword shone with fierce sword light, stretching dozens of feet long, piercing through Chen Qing's great hand and leaving a splatter of blood in the sky.

Chen Qing couldn't be bothered with these minor wounds, sweeping his large hand to use Dragon Capturing Hand again.

"Roar!"

With one move, a Dragon Roar resonated.

The Broken Jade Ancient Sword was shattered by Chen Qing's strike, but a surge of severe pain came from the abdomen!

"The fourth sword, Mountain Opening!"

On Chen Qing's waist, a glimpse of azure sword light that seemed to pierce through mountains flashed, and a spurt of fresh blood flowed out, with Zhang Can slicing a large wound on his waist.

Zhang Can successfully escaped from his abdomen!

Chen Qing spread his hand, absorbing the life force from the entire land, continuously healing his wound.

And across from him, Zhang Can, though having caused no injuries, appeared considerably disheveled.

As long as the battle drags on, as long as you can't strike me down with one sword, then victory is mine!
