Chapter 247 Returning favors
Xia Jiuyou had performed the Immortal Song of Tribulation in public many times, and now he was supporting an old man whose strength was unfathomable.

The old man was able to suppress several great saints of the Golden Clan, preventing them from awakening from the seal for a long time.

In this situation, any human cultivator with a little knowledge could roughly guess the identity of this old man.

After all, there have been rumors in the Eastern Wilds that Gai Jiuyou, who lived eight or nine thousand years ago, was invincible and almost became an emperor, so it is possible that he is not dead.

"If it weren't for the senior's rescue, I would be in danger today." Chai Xin thanked him again, his tone very sincere.

This is a sage who is truly worthy of respect. Even though he has never attained enlightenment, he is a thousand times nobler than those so-called supreme beings who, after attaining enlightenment, turn around and harm sentient beings.

In the original novel, when the greatest dark turmoil in history broke out, Gai Jiuyou forcibly refined his essence and restored himself to his former peak state. In the end, with the help of the fairy fire, he and the Lord of Shenxu fought a bloody battle and died together.

After his death, his disciple searched the starry sky for more than five thousand years but only found a drop of residual blood.

Later, Ye Fan built a temple for him and made Xia Jiuyou the high priest. Xia Jiuyou then traveled around the world doing good deeds, publicizing his achievements and gathering mental power for him, but ultimately he still failed to resurrect.

Speaking of which, this old man is the most tragic character in the entire original novel of "The Great Ruler".

Gai Jiuyou smiled and waved his hand, saying, "If I don't contribute to the human race, I'm afraid my old bones will be buried in the ground. But you are so young, but you have done what I have always wanted to do but couldn't do."

The old man spoke very cryptically, but Chai Xin understood it.

There are tacitly accepted unspoken rules among the various ethnic groups. It is impossible for a quasi-emperor like him to rashly attack one ethnic group.

If they really did that, it would inevitably lead to a joint attack from the quasi-emperors of all races.

However, it was the young man Chai Xin who took action, which did not violate the agreement among the tribes. Even if the old man of the Golden Tribe was angry, the other tribes had no reason to intervene.

This is just like when all races united to attack the human race before, but after all, there were no top-level elders to survive, and even an existence like Gai Jiuyou could only endure it and could not intervene.

What's more, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the quasi-emperor of the Golden Clan has already fallen under the influence of the years.

Otherwise, at this critical moment of genocide, he would no longer care about any so-called rules.

Moreover, if the quasi-emperor of the Golden Clan was still alive, even if Gai Jiuyou was very powerful, he would not be able to easily suppress so many great saints of the other side.

"Senior, the other side has six great saints, more than a dozen supreme saint kings, and an ancient emperor weapon. Can you stop them?"

Chai Xin sensed powerful auras approaching rapidly and asked, changing the subject.

Gai Jiuyou's smile grew wider, and he asked, "You seem calm and composed, as if you have everything planned out. Are you confident in yourself, or do you trust the old man too much?"

Without waiting for Chai Xin to answer, Xia Jiuyou, who had remained silent the whole time, frowned and said softly: "Master, given your current physical condition, you must not engage in any more violent actions... Just suppressing those people just now has already put a lot of pressure on you."

"Foolish boy, everyone must die, even the ancient emperors did. How can we ordinary people die? As long as we die a worthy death, it will be enough to comfort our lives. Why should we be so sad? Your teacher has lived for eight or nine thousand years, which is enough."

Gai Jiuyou smiled casually, not caring about it at all.

Chai Xin was startled for a moment, then he flipped his hand, and in the astonished eyes of the old and the young, more than a dozen porcelain bottles appeared out of thin air, and then precious pills of different colors floated out of them.

"These are the longevity pills that I have collected. Senior, please take a look and see which ones you can use. Please feel free to choose."

He looked at the two of them with a smile, his tone relaxed and indifferent.

After a trip to the Kunlun Fairyland on Earth, he gained a lot of small medicine kings and medicine kings, and the thing he had the most was all kinds of elixirs.

Even if it was a magical medicine that could extend one's life by more than 500 years and could be called a "magic pill", he could still take out hundreds of them.

The reason why the number is so huge is, of course, thanks to the Divine Jade of Creation. Any one of the King of Medicine trees can produce more than a dozen pills.

Of course, the same type of elixir often has the best effect when taken for the first time, and the effect will decrease with subsequent taking. Therefore, even though he has so many longevity elixirs, it does not mean that Chai Xin can live forever.

In fact, he still had a Qilin magic pill and a living White Tiger immortality pill that was about to fully mature, but he was not going to take them out at this time.

Just now, it was obvious that a supreme being who was lingering on had attacked him. What if those old immortals are still paying attention to this place, and once they see the complete elixir of immortality, they can't help but attack him again?
Chai Xin didn't dare to bet that those old guys were not interested in the complete elixir of immortality, nor did he dare to bet that the person in the ancient forbidden land would come to the rescue, so the wisest thing to do was not to take it out for the time being.

Anyway, among so many longevity pills, there must be a few that are suitable for Gai Jiuyou.

"You... you actually have so many longevity pills! Are you really willing to give them to my master?"

Although Xia Jiuyou knew that Chai Xin had issued a bounty for the Killer Divine Dynasty, he had never imagined that the other party had so many life-extending elixirs.

This is because Chai Xin is now very powerful, otherwise he would never have taken out so many life-extending pills in broad daylight.

If it had been before, even if they knew that he had the strength to contend with the supreme Saint King, I am afraid that many dying old guys would have taken the risk.

But now, if he uses the secret of "Xing" to escape, even a high-level great sage will be unable to do anything to him.

As for other quasi-emperor level warriors, after learning that Gai Jiuyou's life span has been replenished, they will probably run as far as they can with their tails between their legs to avoid being beaten to death by the other party in a whim.

Gai Jiuyou was so powerful that in the original novel, he was even able to drag the Lord of Shenxu, who had committed suicide, to be buried with him. This was something that an ordinary Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven could never do.

After all, even if he was the supreme being who killed himself, he still possessed some of the imperial laws. He could ignore any quasi-emperor and kill him with ease.

The fact that Gai Jiuyou was able to drag to death a crippled supreme being was enough to prove that in the final battle in the original novel, he had already achieved enlightenment in a different way.

Of course, it is unknown whether he had achieved enlightenment in some other way many years ago or was promoted before the battle.

But no matter what, even if he was promoted during the last battle, his usual cultivation level was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary quasi-emperor. He was definitely a genuine quasi-emperor of the ninth level.

Even with this level of cultivation, he is already respected among the major ancient clans today.

It is for this reason that the elder of the Blue Demon Clan in the original novel blurted out "The Supreme of the Human Race!" when he saw Gai Jiuyou.

This might just be a title bestowed out of awe, but it is enough to explain a lot of things. Gai Jiuyou's strength is far beyond the reach of most quasi-emperors.

In short, from now on, Chai Xinming will be protected by Gai Jiuyou, so he can rest assured unless those self-destructive supreme beings make a move again.

Besides, those self-destructive supreme beings have very high vision. Unless someone proves the truth, they will not act rashly and affect their so-called "grand plans".

Didn't you see that just now when Chai Xin showed such an astonishing talent, only the Golden Ancient Emperor took action? The reason why the Golden Ancient Emperor took action was probably because he watched his own tribe being destroyed, and his heart was somewhat shaken.

As for the other old guys, they just looked a few more times and talked a few words.

For them now, nothing is more important than continuing to live.

If one day Chai Xin really attains enlightenment, they will seize the moment when he has completed his tribulation but his injuries have not yet healed, and they will have full control of their chances and can also extract his supreme essence and blood to prolong their own lifespans.

To them, all beings that have not attained enlightenment are insignificant ants. It is already a great achievement to be able to let them open their eyes and see.

"Young man, you..."

Gai Jiuyou was a little confused. Even with his experience, he had never seen so many life-extending pills at once. Most of them were things he had never seen before, and some he had even never heard of.

This is not surprising. Although the old man is knowledgeable, these pills are all made from the divine jade of creation, and many of them have never appeared in the world of Shrouding the Sky.

"You don't have to be polite, Senior. What you did just now is equivalent to saving my life. These pills are really nothing."

Seeing the old man hesitate, Chai Xin took out two of all the pills, a total of more than thirty pills, and dropped them all in front of the other party.

"Besides, Senior, you may have reached a transcendent level and have long since become indifferent to life and death. But at this critical moment, if you are alive, it will be of extraordinary significance to the entire human race!"

He spoke sincerely, and every word he said was true.

The human race is surrounded by enemies today, and the existence of Gai Jiuyou is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, enough to prevent all enemies in the universe from acting rashly.

His current condition is very dangerous. If he doesn't take action, he might be able to live another hundred years, but if he takes action frequently, it's hard to say.

"Master, what Brother Chai said makes sense. Even if you don't consider yourself, how can you ignore our human race?"

Xia Jiuyou's attitude changed really quickly. Just now he didn't like Chai Xin very much, but now he even called him "Brother Daoist".

It seems that this girl has grown a lot over the years.

"Haha! I'm just sighing that you're so young yet you can possess so many magical pills... I didn't say I'd be polite to you! Who wants to die if they can live well?"

Gai Jiuyou suddenly burst into laughter, his tone as cheerful as that of a young boy. Then he rolled up his sleeves and took out seven or eight pills from the medicine box.

"Although the remaining ones are also rare precious medicines, they are no longer very effective for the old man. You should keep them well, kid."

Chai Xin was somewhat surprised at the youthful nature of this old senior, but he nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that this should be the so-called "return to nature".

When one reaches Gai Jiuyou’s level, he can think and do whatever he wants.

"All these pills combined are enough for me to live for another thousand years."

Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and sucked the seven or eight pills into his stomach, swallowing them all in one gulp.

Although his realm has declined now, he is doing it on his own initiative to reduce the consumption of his life energy so that he can live longer.

Otherwise, if I try to maintain my peak condition all the time, I might not even survive for ten years, let alone a hundred years!
Over the years, Gai Jiuyou has also taken some longevity pills. If these pills from Chai Xin were not produced by Shenyu, they would be far from ordinary products in terms of both medicinal properties and types, and would not have had much effect on him.

Now that he could extend his life by a full thousand years, it was already far beyond his expectations.

With a lifespan of a thousand years, he no longer needs to suppress his cultivation and nourish his life force. He can use his extreme strength without restraint.

But at this moment, the six great saints of the Golden Clan, plus a dozen top saint kings, had already taken over the ancient imperial soldiers from the original Dragon Head Saint King and others, and were rushing over to kill them.

"It turned out to be you! Eight thousand years ago, I woke up from my deep sleep and sensed your presence. I never thought that after so many years, you are still alive!"

A handsome and brave young man was holding a golden mace with two small golden dragon horns growing out of his forehead. He looked to be no more than twenty years old, but he was guarded in the center like the moon surrounded by stars. He was obviously the strongest one among them.

He sensed a little breath leaking out of Gai Jiuyou who was absorbing the medicinal power, and his brows raised, with shock in his eyes.

The group of powerful Golden Clan members behind him couldn't help but be shocked when they heard that Gai Jiuyou had actually lived for more than eight thousand years.

In this world, age does not represent everything, but when it reaches a certain age, it is enough to shock everything.

What kind of being can live for eight or nine thousand years?
For most of the great saints, living eight thousand years is already the limit.

However, what shocked them even more was what came next.

Gai Jiuyou, who was originally very old, after a burst of breath, his snow-white long hair turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even his skin and muscles were no longer loose, and his wrinkles were much less severe.

In just a few breaths, an old man who looked like he was about to die had turned into a hale and hearty middle-aged man in his fifties.

"Master! That's great!"

When Xia Jiuyou saw this scene, he couldn't help but cry for joy, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, and he even forgot what the occasion was.

There was an indescribable arrogance between Gai Jiuyou's brows. Although his expression was very gentle, he still made everyone feel a sense of awe without even being angry.

Looking at his little disciple who was crying bitterly, he stretched out his big hand and gently stroked his head, saying with emotion: "Silly child, you should not be so obsessed..."

Then, he turned his gaze to Chai Xin, with deep admiration in his eyes: "Your magic pills are truly extraordinary, and their efficacy exceeds my expectations. They have extended my life by a full 1,300 years."

He did not say any words of gratitude because there was no need.

He came to help Chai Xin this time for the sake of the overall interests of the human race, and he never expected that there would be such an unexpected surprise.

"Senior, you saved my life earlier. Good deeds bring good results. Every sip and every bite has its own destiny."

A huge stone fell from Chai Xin's heart. With this old man around, these great saints in front of him would not be able to do anything to him even if they had the ancient imperial weapons in their hands.

At this moment, the space shook slightly.

A familiar figure in white, holding a small crystal furnace, suddenly emerged from the void.
