Chapter 1646: Chapter 675: Innate Spiritual Material
Under the Ten Thousand Gu Mountain at the center of the Gu Raising Domain.
Even though Xu Jin was well-versed and knowledgeable, he still felt his scalp tingling at the sight of the densely packed, various Gu beasts flying in all directions.
This place is definitely a forbidden zone for those with trypophobia.
"Is this the place you mentioned where the Gu Mother is located?" Xu Jin asked.
"Yes."
Yutang King Zhu Shizhen nodded vigorously, "This isn’t a secret, Benefactor. Do you see that colorful, highest peak over there? Look at that protruding part of the mountain; doesn’t it look like a mouthpiece?"
Xu Jin glanced over, and indeed, it resembled what was described.
"That entire highest peak is actually the Gu Mother, also the only Tenth Rank creature in this Gu Raising Domain," Zhu Shizhen explained, his Adam’s apple moving with difficulty.
In the next moment, Xu Jin extended his Mingji Star Pattern like water waves.
Instantly, he sensed tens of thousands of Eighth Tier Gu beasts, hundreds of Ninth Tier Gu beasts, and millions of Gu beasts below the Eighth Tier.
Strangely, all the Gu beasts below the Eighth Tier were in slumber.
Only the Eighth and Ninth Tier Gu beasts were active, as if they were under someone’s command, continuously surging outwards in batches.
Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern sensed towards the place where the Gu Mother was on the mountain peak, but upon nearing a range of ten miles from the Gu Mother, the perception of the Mingji Star Pattern suddenly became obstructed, as though it had fallen into a swamp.
Continuing to urge the Mingji Star Pattern, it came close to the massive body of the Gu Mother, reaching the outermost edges, but the perception became extremely hindered, unable to progress further.
Xu Jin shook his head in silent resignation.
A Tenth Rank expert is indeed extraordinary.
According to Master Emperor Fenghua, after successfully comprehending Dao, a Tenth Rank expert naturally creates a unique force field of Tao Rules, which can naturally shield from all perceptions.
Unless there’s a Perception Dao Secret Skill vastly superior in realm to it, it can’t be sensed again.
This was Xu Jin’s first encounter where his Mingji Star Pattern couldn’t perceive anything.
But it was completely normal.
This Gu Mother is an existence at the Tenth Rank Star Monarch level.
And Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Pattern has only barely reached Ninth Tier.
This means he can’t sense the reality of this Gu Mother.
Suddenly, Xu Jin felt a surge in his heart and immediately activated the high-tier Seven Killings Sword Heart.
By comparison, the high-tier Seven Killings Sword Heart is more special; it can sense even the Origin of stars at a Great World level.
Theoretically, an existence at the Tenth Rank Star Monarch level should also be perceptible.
As long as there’s some perception, it’s better than stumbling in the dark.
Two breaths later, Xu Jin’s eyes brimmed with a trace of a smile.
Upon activating the high-tier Seven Killings Sword Heart, Xu Jin instantly sensed millions of life fluctuations, even the current life fluctuations of the Gu Raising Domain.
But the strongest belonged to the life fluctuations of the distant Tenth Rank Gu Mother.
Not only strong, but extremely bizarre.
Inside the Gu Mother, there were thousands of life fluctuations, and Xu Jin couldn’t identify which was the Gu Mother’s most fundamental life fluctuation.
In the next moment, Xu Jin suddenly sensed the disappearance of a dozen life fluctuations within the Gu Mother.
A few breaths later, Xu Jin realized that this was the Gu Mother nurturing Gu beasts.
Among the thousands of life fluctuations, aside from one being its own, the rest were all the Gu beasts it was nurturing.
Even though Xu Jin sensed the Gu Mother’s life fluctuation, his expression remained serious.
The Gu Mother was enormous, with a size of ten miles, concealing the core of its life fluctuation deep within.
Attempting to slay it is an extremely difficult task.
It can be imagined, if any disturbance is caused, the tens of thousands of Eighth Tier Gu beasts and hundreds of Ninth Tier Gu beasts would rush over, not to mention Xu Jin; even a real Tenth Rank Star Monarch would fall.
"Yutang King, fortunately, we have a level of initial trust, or else I’d think you were trying to use this Gu Mother to trap and kill me," Xu Jin said after his observation.
"Absolutely not!
I would never harm my Benefactor!"
Zhu Shizhen shook his head vehemently, "Normally, I would never provoke this Gu Mother.
But seeing the strength my Benefactor showcased earlier, and with the treasure we just obtained, I felt we might have a chance, so I wanted to try.
If successful, both my Benefactor and I will undoubtedly gain great rewards."
"Great rewards, how so?" Xu Jin asked.
"Benefactor, in the Dongxuan Dao Palace selection, there’s a hidden reward attached to this Tenth Rank Gu Mother.
If someone can slay this Tenth Rank Gu Mother and obtain its dragon bone, they can directly bypass the status of candidate and become a Dao disciple of Dongxuan Dao Palace," Zhu Shizhen explained.
"Directly become a Dao disciple?
That’s too flashy?
It doesn’t suit me very well."
Xu Jin immediately opposed the idea, but soon realized, "Are you aiming for that Dao disciple position?"
Zhu Shizhen nodded keenly, "Benefactor, even if I become a Dao disciple candidate, with my ability, alongside the targeting from other mansions, I have at most a twenty percent chance of becoming a Dao disciple.
But if I directly leap over the candidacy to become a genuine Dao disciple!
Then for my Yutang Royal Mansion, it would utterly revitalize a deadlock, and everything in the future becomes possible."
Xu Jin gazed at Zhu Shizhen, remaining silent.
Zhu Shizhen naturally understood Xu Jin’s intention and immediately added, "Benefactor, directly becoming a Dao disciple by slaying the Gu Mother is only the most basic benefit.
The real substantial benefit lies within the Gu Mother itself.
The Gu Mother is the mother of all Gu, and can nurture Gu beasts of various attributes, virtually encompassing all attributes in the world; its nurturing womb can be called all-attribute or even attributeless.
