Chapter 1743 - 884: Still Somewhat Immature
Chapter 1743: Chapter 884: Still Somewhat Immature
"No! My cultivation! My lifespan!"
"What kind of evil technique is this?!"
Xiao Beixuan was savoring the pure Life Origin continuously flooding into his body, his face showing a look of intoxication. He explained leisurely.
"There’s no need to struggle. You three were originally cultivated by me as Human Pills using a Secret Technique. They were meant to be used later to help my lord behind me regain peak strength.
But alas, Gu Sheng, that unexpected factor, managed to kill Huang Batian, forcing me, the Young Master, to use you this ’reserve’ ahead of time."
"Human Pills?! You... you were plotting against us from the start?!"
The Three Great Sect Masters’ eyes widened in rage, their hearts filled with endless regret and despair.
"Just realizing now? Too late!"
Xiao Beixuan’s eyes sharpened, suddenly quickening the pace of devouring!
"Ah—!!"
The night sky was pierced by a wretched, despairing scream. The bodies of the Three Great Sect Masters shriveled rapidly before the eyes, their skin losing luster, flesh withering, ultimately transforming into three hideous, skeletal corpses that fell to the ground silently.
The cultivation and Life Essence they had painstakingly honed over their lifetimes became nourishment for Xiao Beixuan.
Xiao Beixuan slowly exhaled a breath of bloody foul air, feeling the growing power inside, yet he seemed still unsatisfied.
His gaze shifted to the figure below the pavilion, and he asked indifferently.
"Have you cleaned up the people from the Three Major Sects?"
"Returning to the Young Master, the core elders and true disciples remaining at the headquarters of the Three Major Sects, totaling over thirteen thousand people, have been completely exterminated. Their bodies are here."
The subordinate respectfully responded, then took out dozens of bulging storage rings, simultaneously releasing a vast wave of True Qi, lifting the mountain-like pile of bodies to float in mid-air, instantly filling the air with a rich, bloody smell.
Xiao Beixuan’s eyes glowed with intense bloodlust. He spread his arms, and countless hair-thin yet densely condensed blood-colored threads burst from his body! These threads, like tendrils with a life of their own, pierced the mountain-like pile of corpses in an instant!
"Buzz—!"
An even grander, more mixed, yet equally astonishing energy’s Qi-Blood torrent, surged madly into Xiao Beixuan’s body along those countless blood-colored threads!
His aura began to rise rapidly, surrounded with blood light, as if incarnating into a Bloodthirsty Demon God! The surrounding air twisted violently, emitting a buzzing sound of unbearable pressure!
"Crack!"
It was as if some barrier was forcibly broken through within him!
An aura far stronger than before exploded from Xiao Beixuan’s body, shooting straight into the sky! The tiles beneath his feet shattered, and the entire Phoenix Town quivered slightly!
Earth King Realm, First Level!
By devouring the Life Essence of the Three Great Sect Masters and over ten thousand martial artists, he forcefully broke through the bottleneck, stepping into the realm of Earth King!
Xiao Beixuan slowly clenched his fist, feeling the raging power inside, though his brows slightly furrowed.
"Forcibly devouring, too many impurities, the growth in strength is far below expectation... but, it should be enough to deal with that Gu Sheng. If combined with Demonization..."
His eyes gleamed with blood light, confidence returning.
He believed, with his current cultivation at the First Level of Earth King Realm, combined with the Demonization Secret Technique from the Blood Ancestor, he would be able to unleash mid-Earth King Realm combat power in a short time, with killing Gu Sheng being merely within reach!
...
The next day, at dawn.
The first ray of morning light had yet to pierce through the clouds, as Great Wilderness City was still shrouded in the last darkness before dawn.
Inside the Quiet Room of Linyin Pavilion, Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes from meditation, his pupils restrained with a sharp glint, his aura seamlessly harmonious, already adjusted to its peak state.
Just then, the door was gently knocked.
"Come in."
Gu Sheng said indifferently.
The door was pushed open a crack, Gu Yuanyuan’s small head peeking in, with a hint of apprehension and undisguised excitement.
She walked in cautiously, saluting Gu Sheng.
"Master."
Gu Sheng’s gaze fell upon her, just about to instruct her to stay in the pavilion today, when his spiritual power subconsciously swept through Gu Yuanyuan.
At this sweep, his expression suddenly froze!
In his perception, Gu Yuanyuan’s cultivation indeed successfully broke through, firmly stabilized at the First Level of Yellow Martial Realm, which was within his expectations.
But at the same time, he clearly sensed that deep within Gu Yuanyuan’s Sea of Consciousness, besides the original main Sea of Consciousness, there was an extremely subtle area radiating unique spiritual power fluctuations, slowly forming and stabilizing!
That fluctuation... carried a heavy, vast meaning, as if capable of bearing all things and suppressing everything! It shared a Source with the Dao Rhyme of the God-breaking Path he transmitted, yet seemed even purer!
"Master..."
Gu Yuanyuan saw Gu Sheng staring at her without speaking, becoming more nervous, explaining softly.
"Disciple pondered the God-breaking Path you transmitted last night, felt something, not only successfully breaking through to Yellow Martial Realm but... it seems... besides the original Sea of Consciousness, another... Sea of Consciousness opened up beside it? Moreover, the Dao Rhyme of the God-breaking Path seems to have naturally condensed within it..."
Her words carried uncertainty and a hint of confusion, evidently perplexed by the changes happening to her.
Gu Sheng stared at her, the astonishment in his eyes not only undiminished but growing stronger, even showing a rare ripple on his face!
Opening a second Sea of Consciousness?! And one that carries the Dao Rhyme of the God-breaking Path?!
This was no ordinary breakthrough! This was an unprecedented martial phenomenon! Even in his past life as Qingyun Pill Emperor, witnessing countless prodigies, he had never heard of anyone opening a second Sea of Consciousness at the Yellow Martial Realm and directly imprinting top-level Dao Rhymes within it!
His seemingly naive and innocent true disciple seemed to be hiding secrets even he hadn’t fully discerned!
Gu Sheng’s usually calm eyes now showed clear ripples due to the anomaly occurring with Gu Yuanyuan.
Without another word, he grabbed the still bewildered Gu Yuanyuan, his figure flashing, instantly appearing in the underground hall.
"Sit down, open your Sea of Consciousness, and don’t resist!"
Gu Sheng’s tone carried an unquestionable seriousness, pointing to the central meditation cushion.
Though Gu Yuanyuan didn’t understand, she had absolute trust in her master, immediately sitting cross-legged as instructed, closing her eyes, entirely opening the defenses of her Sea of Consciousness.
Gu Sheng’s powerful spiritual power, like the most delicate probe, cautiously delved into Gu Yuanyuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
First, he confirmed that newly formed, somewhat immature yet stabilized second Sea of Consciousness.
Then, his spiritual power was sensing the Dao Rhyme of the God-breaking Path, which was slowly circulating within the second Sea of Consciousness, nearly integrated with Gu Yuanyuan’s Soul origin.
What stunned him further was, when his spiritual power tried nearing that mass of Dao Rhymes, he felt a weak yet distinctly present repelling force! As if the Dao Rhyme had completely accepted Gu Yuanyuan as its host, allowing no external probing!
’Dao Rhyme choosing its host, fully merging... This is no mere comprehension, but a resonance nearing ’Dao Seal’ level!’ Gu Sheng’s heart was tumultuous.
This situation, even in his past life, was only occasionally heard of, pertaining to those bearing heaven-defying physiques, favored by the world itself!
Retracting his spiritual power, he gazed at Gu Yuanyuan slowly opening her eyes, ordering solemnly.
"Yuanyuan, listen carefully! Regarding your creation of a second Sea of Consciousness and the integration with the Dao Rhyme of the God-breaking Path, from today onwards, you must not mention it to anyone! Including your Uncle Xueli, understood?!"
His tone was sharper than ever, causing Gu Yuanyuan a jolt, she nodded rapidly like a pecking chick.
"Disciple understands! Absolutely no outside disclosure!"
Gu Sheng’s expression slightly relaxed, continuing to instruct.
"Since you have stepped into Yellow Martial Realm, do not rush to breakthrough to Xuanwu Realm. You must patiently solidify your realm, more importantly, focus on strengthening this second Sea of Consciousness, and deepening your connection with the Dao Rhyme of the God-breaking Path."
