In order to train the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Butterfly well, he had read some classics on insect cultivators.
The current situation is very much like raising a gu.
What is Gu?
Just like what's going on right now, the insects are killing each other in order to create the strongest Gu insects.
It's just that raising gu is all done by insect cultivators, but the current behavior of the butterfly swarm is spontaneous.
Gu Chen realized the possibility behind this tragic scene and did not stop it, observing quietly.
He observed for a day and a night, and slowly discovered some clues.
First of all, the insect swarms start fighting each other with the demon butterflies that eat the flesh and blood of the insect king.
They changed the most after eating the flesh and blood of the insect king, so Gu Chen could recognize them at a glance.
Gu Chen found that less than one out of ten of these demon butterflies could successfully evolve after eating the flesh of the Insect King, and most of them died inexplicably in the end.
After they died, perhaps unable to resist the attraction of evolution, other companions rushed to eat their bodies, triggering large-scale cannibalism.
Secondly, the few demon butterflies that successfully evolved became more ferocious and would actively attack other unevolved companions, thus intensifying the massacre.
The two reasons were superimposed, and the killing situation continued to worsen, eventually leading to a sharp decline in the number of butterfly groups.
"The butterfly group has become red-blooded. Even my orders are difficult to have any effect. It seems that we can only let the situation develop."
Gu Chen thought about it for a long time and realized that not interfering was the best option.
This is a natural law of survival of the fittest, but here in the butterfly group, it is even more fruitless.
The Insect King was able to evolve all the way to the pinnacle of the race, only by stepping on the corpses of countless creatures.
Now the butterfly group wants to transform, and the same is true.
If the situation continues like this, there will eventually be two possibilities.
One is that the butterfly group dies completely, and a new insect king is finally born.
The second is that after the number of butterflies dropped sharply to a certain point, they formed a compromise with each other, and finally stopped killing and formed a new and more powerful group.
No matter what the possibility is, as long as Gu Chen ensures that his control is still there, there will be no big problems.
"I hope you survive as long as possible."
Gu Chen sighed. The butterflies had helped him so much in the past and he did not hope that only one would survive in the end.
After his spiritual consciousness exited the space inside his body, Gu Chen stood up and opened the door of the room, ending this retreat.
The sky is clear outside, with blue sky and white clouds, a scene that is aloof from the world.
"It's been so long. I wonder what's going on outside? Has the blockade in Lei County been relaxed, or has it become tighter?"
Gu Chen was thinking that it was time to go back to Xing County for business. He had asked Wu Li to lay the groundwork. If he went back any later, he might endanger the safety of the Ninth Realm.
He thought for a while and went to the residence of the ancestor of the Qian family.
In the past two months, other people should have been in retreat like me, after all, they have all received different degrees of good fortune.
Although the ancestor of the Qian family lives in seclusion, he has a lot of information channels at his disposal, so he should have some understanding of the situation in the outside world.
Gu Chen soon saw the ancestor of the Qian family. He was picking fresh fruits in his vegetable garden, enjoying himself.
"Gu Xiaoyou hasn't seen you for a long time. He looks a lot more radiant. I'm afraid his skills have improved a lot, right?"
The ancestor of the Qian family saw Gu Chen and greeted him warmly, and saw his breakthrough from his expression.
"It is indeed a small improvement. Thanks to the old master Qian for taking me in."
Gu Chen smiled politely, with a faint flash of purple in his eyes.
Under his deep-sea purple pupils, the cultivation level of the ancestor of the Qian family was clearly visible, and he was in the realm of the seventh heaven.
This level of cultivation is second to none in the world of longevity, except for Lao Xuanwu. It is not simple.
But to the current Gu Chen, it is nothing.
He could easily see through Patriarch Qian, but Patriarch Qian couldn't see through him.
Gu Chen secretly used his Deep Sea Purple Eyes to spy on him. It wasn't that he couldn't trust the old Patriarch Qian, it was just a matter of habit.
He was a little curious about the origin of the other person's cultivation. Last time, he said that he was proficient in numerology, but Gu Chen snooped around and found that although he couldn't figure out what kind of origin he was, he didn't look like the fate monks he had come into contact with.
But this doesn’t mean anything. Being proficient in numerology does not mean that you must practice the laws of destiny. It may just be that you are interested in practicing Taoism in this area.
If this is the case, the ancestor of the Qian family was able to assess the situation, fake death and escape, and then let Fatty Qian participate in the Xuanwu Banquet. This is more of his own vision pattern than any numerology calculation.
He is a businessman and can do business in so many worlds. It is not surprising that he has such a pattern.
"Gu Xiaoyou came to see me, presumably because he wanted to inquire about the situation in the outside world, right?" the ancestor of the Qian family asked proactively.
Gu Chen nodded immediately.
"In the past two months, the blockade in Lei County has not been lifted. I heard that there are more troops stationed at Chaos Path Window."
"However, the long-term blockade of the Chaos Path Window has also attracted many questions from the outside world. I heard that many spies from various counties in the Chaos Sea have gone outside the Changshou Realm and have been inquiring about the survivors of the Chaos Secret Land."
"Things are going very turbulent, and there may be some news about you, Xiaoyou Gu."
The ancestor of the Qian family sighed with emotion, and when he mentioned Gu Chen, his eyes were full of meaning.
"Oh? I wonder what the news about you is like?"
Gu Chen knew that the ancestor of the Qian family must know his true identity, and he had no intention of hiding it, otherwise he would not use his real name.
"A Tianying and a Heavenly Punishment General from Xingjun have disappeared in the longevity world. In this name, Xingjun has been putting pressure on Leijun."
"You also know that the relationship between Xing County and Lei County has always been bad. Because of this matter, the border between the two counties has been tense recently."
The ancestor of the Qian family shook his head and sighed. "Under the cloud of war, it is becoming more and more difficult for a family like my Qian family to do business in various counties. Especially when the Chaos Path is blocked, countless money is lost every day.
"
"Isn't the Qian family's business all in the world under Lei Jun?" Gu Chen was surprised when he heard this.
"The business of my Qian family is bigger than Gu Xiaoyou imagined." The ancestor of the Qian family smiled meaningfully.
"oh?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but think deeply. The ancestor of the Qian family seemed to want to show off the Qian family's financial strength to him, but why?
He didn't think much about it, he was more concerned about the current situation. If Xingjun and Leijun were to fight, he would be happy to see it, but if he was the fuse, that wouldn't be good.
It seems that it is time to solve all the problems and leave the longevity world as soon as possible.
"Gu Xiaoyou, I have a favor to ask you."
The ancestor of the Qian family sighed again when he saw that Gu Chen had no reaction to his words.
"Master Qian, tell me what you have to say." Gu Chen came back to his senses.
"I would like to ask Gu Xiaoyou to take Darong with him." The ancestor of the Qian family said sincerely.
