Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 553: Cycle Break
In Xuantian Territory, above the endless sky of a certain mountain forest, Cangtian and Youtian stood facing each other at a long distance.
Neither party spoke, but through eye contact, it seemed as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
Then, Cang Tianning slowly lowered his head and looked towards the forest below, with an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes.
Mo Xuyou was staring at the sky. His face, seemingly calm as water, had a pair of clear eyes that were slightly frozen.
"Looking at me like that, are you afraid that I will kill him?" Cang Tianning suddenly spoke.
Mo Xuyou curled his lips and said, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. It has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, Cang Tianning raised his head, glanced at Mo Xuyou meaningfully, and said, "I once said that I would have a battle with him, but at least not now."
"Although this world of cultivation is full of intrigues and deceptions, I, Cang, still have martial ethics."
After Cang Tianning finished speaking, he flew away without stopping.
Mo Xuyou's eyes slowly relaxed then, and then he took a deep look towards the forest below, as if he was slightly hesitant, but in the end, he snorted coldly and left.
From then on, the three great masters left respectively, Master Yantian fell, and Houtu True Spirit disappeared, leaving only Gu Xiaoxing still in the deep pit, in a daze.
He didn't know that Cangtian and Youtian had been here. At this moment, he didn't even have a trace of cultivation strength, and his eyesight was just so-so. He couldn't see too far or too high.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing was constantly thinking about the words of Hou Tu Zhen Ling, including the small candlelight, the Yu Dao Zhen Ling, and the Yu Dao Furnace.
There is even the last sentence, what does it mean when Hou Tu Zhen Ling says that Gu Xiaoxing doesn’t have much time left?
To be honest, Gu Xiaoxing himself was a little confused, but there was one thing he could roughly guess.
The Imperial Dao Furnace that Hou Tu Zhen Ling mentioned might be this cage, or the nine-legged cauldron on top of Yu Dao Zhen Ling's head!
Thinking back to the words of the Thick Earth Spirit, Gu Xiaoxing seemed to be thinking about something.
Burning Taoist incense has always been a mystery to Gu Xiaoxing.
Even though he knew that the Burning Dao Incense came from the Jiu Ming Clan, and even that the Burning Dao Incense was the foundation of their Taoism, Gu Xiaoxing had never known what the Burning Dao Incense was!
I wonder if this burning incense is a stunning secret treasure refined by the Jiuming clan, or if it has some other source?
Gu Xiaoxing only knew that burning Taoist incense could provide him with dark energy for cultivation, and it was itself an indestructible and amazing treasure!
Apart from this, Gu Xiaoxing knew nothing about burning Taoist incense!
But at this moment, because of the words of Hou Tu Zhen Ling, Gu Xiaoxing had some clues.
The Taoist spirit controls the Taoist furnace, and Taoist incense burns in the Taoist furnace.
Then the burning of Taoist incense must have some connection with the Imperial Taoist Spirit!
However, Gu Xiaoxing had no idea what the True Spirits were like. No one knew what they wanted to do after being resurrected across the ages.
They seem to be everywhere and full of mystery.
In the dead man’s dream, Fang Qingqing once said that there are a total of forty-nine true spirits in the world.
So far, he has encountered the third true soul, Hou Tu, and the sixth true soul, Long.
Even the small candle flame beside him is a true spirit, the fifth true spirit.
And in the sea of fire inside the Foundation Building Mountain, Gu Xiaoxing is sure that there is also a real spirit there!
However, Gu Xiaoxing couldn’t be sure which true spirit it was. He even asked Shalong about it, but Shalong himself didn’t know either.
But no matter what, Gu Xiaoxing would never compromise with Candlelight!
"I don't care whether you are a real spirit or a real god. Even if I have to rob you, I will get it back from you!"
Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth secretly, feeling both relieved and worried.
I felt relieved because at least I knew where Xiao Zhuhuo had gone. Since she followed the True Spirit Clan and she was the fifth True Spirit, she should not be in danger.
The reason for his worry was that Candlelight was the fifth true spirit, and he was afraid that when he saw it again one day, Candlelight would no longer be Candlelight.
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't say he didn't believe in the theory of past lives and future lives, because he himself had practiced a supreme magical power called the Sutra of Past Life Rebirth.
But Gu Xiaoxing was unwilling to believe it, he only believed in this life.
He only wanted candlelight, just a simple candlelight, not the fifth true spirit!
But it would be useless to say anything now. The best thing to do now is to recover from my injuries first.
But when Gu Xiaoxing lowered his eyebrows and saw his own miserable appearance, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had been practicing Taoism for a long time and had experienced countless battles and suffered many injuries, but this was the first time he had been injured so badly.
Even though Gu Xiaoxing had his limbs broken before, and was even split in half by someone.
But as long as he has the cultivation level, he can recover quickly by burning himself with the Hell Fire.
Even if your cultivation is exhausted, you just need to restore it.
But this time, it was not just that Gu Xiaoxing’s cultivation was exhausted and it was not as simple as recovering it.
He even cut off his own circulation!
What is cycle breaking?
His physical body was almost shattered and in ruins, and his Dantian had completely collapsed, making it impossible to gather even a trace of cultivation.
In this situation, even if Gu Xiaoxing took the elixir to restore his cultivation, it would be useless.
This was because he was simply unable to concentrate his cultivation, and instead the medicinal power would flow wildly throughout his body, causing further harm.
If an ordinary cultivator encounters this situation, there is most likely no hope. Even if he can survive, he can only linger on and cannot practice anymore.
Even if it is Gu Xiaoxing, if he has not yet broken through to the God Transformation Realm, he will most likely be useless.
However, he has now become a Divine Transformation cultivator, and his life level is above the ninetieth level of the Ancient Spirit, which allows him to break many worldly common senses.
Because after becoming a Divine Transformation Monk, Gu Xiaoxing has transformed himself into a huge Dantian.
As long as Gu Xiaoxing gradually recovers his injured body, it is equivalent to repairing his Dantian. As long as it is repaired to the point where he can condense some cultivation, he can use this cultivation to condense the Nether Fire!
The Nine Nether Arts is the first of the nine underworld arts of the Nine Nether Mountain. It is said that the underworld fire is everlasting and indestructible. This is not just talk.
As long as Gu Xiaoxing can condense a trace of Hell Fire in his body, he can start a prairie fire!
In this way, all injuries can be recovered in a very short time.
Just feeling the miserable condition inside his body, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but smile bitterly again. Not only was his cultivation exhausted, but even the divinity of his physical body was completely exhausted.
This is also the root cause of the cycle being broken.
Gu Xiaoxing transformed himself into a god with twelve Nascent Souls, and his body underwent twelve transformations. It can be said that even without the Nether Fire, he could heal ordinary injuries quickly.
Unfortunately, this injury is very unusual.
The consumption of Gu Lingbian is already huge, and when combined with Fang Cun's magical power, the consumption rate is instantly increased by thousands of times.
This was too horrifying, and Gu Xiaoxing's energy was almost instantly exhausted.
If it weren't for his extremely strong vitality due to his life level which reached the ninety-fifth level of the ancient spirit, he would probably be dead by now.
With his eyes turning slightly, Gu Xiaoxing began to think about how to recover.
He slowly looked at his chest, where the burning Taoist incense was emitting curling green smoke, unchanging forever.
However, Gu Xiaoxing first looked at the Immortal Ring which was also on his chest. As long as he could establish a slight connection with it and communicate with his father-in-law Dongfang in the cave world, that would be enough.
Today, Gu Xiaoxing is no longer able to control the Ring of Immortality, and only Dongfang Yexuan has the ability to get out of it on his own. No one else can do that.
After just a few attempts, Gu Xiaoxing discovered in despair that he was unable to establish a connection with the Ring of Immortality.
The truth is, his energy and spirit had been completely dried up. Not to mention the power of his soul, even a trace of his spiritual thought or even his spiritual consciousness could not be condensed.
"Broken ring...if you know what's good for you...help me pass on the message!"
Gu Xiaoxing knew that the ring had a spirit, so he endured the pain and powerlessness and struggled to speak.
However , the ring did not respond at all.
"Don't force me... Use the Yang Shen drum from now on!"
"Broken ring...!"
However, no matter what Gu Xiaoxing said, no matter how he threatened or bribed her, it was useless.
This broken ring can only communicate through divine thoughts and seems to be unable to understand human language at all.
In fact, this is true for most spirit tools, especially those that store items.
But for Gu Xiaoxing at this moment, it was very uncomfortable. He couldn't concentrate any divine consciousness at all.
"Okay, you ungrateful thing, wait for me!"
In the end, Gu Xiaoxing was gritting his teeth and got angry just looking at the broken ring.
The method of self-rescue is right in front of us, but we cannot implement it. It’s so abominable!
But no matter how angry he was, Gu Xiaoxing had no way out at the moment.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel a pair of eyes staring at him. Gu Xiaoxing immediately turned his head and found that the big white tiger was still lying not far away.
Almost subconsciously, he licked his lips slightly.
Gu Xiaoxing's slight movement frightened the big white tiger so much that it trembled all over.
It knew it all too well, because it itself had a similar expression when it saw those delicious goats.
At this moment, in the other party's eyes, I am undoubtedly a goat!
So the big white tiger panicked. After what it had seen before, it realized for the first time that there were such terrifying things in the world.
Although the person in the big pit in front of him seemed to have no resistance, in the eyes of the big white tiger, he was undoubtedly a terrifying existence.
Gu Xiaoxing constantly exudes an aura that makes the big white tiger fearful.
It’s over, I’m going to be eaten!
This was the only thought in the big white tiger's mind at the moment.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the little tiger in front of him and thought it was indeed delicious, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Just at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing felt another gaze. He quickly turned his eyes again and looked to the other side, and saw a pair of scarlet vertical eyes!
This made Gu Xiaoxing stunned for a moment and blinked his eyes.
What appeared in his eyes was a python several meters long and as thick as a thigh. It was spitting out its tongue and staring at Gu Xiaoxing, with a cold look in its pair of vertical pupils.
No way?!
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the python with an expressionless face, but he was actually starting to panic in his heart.
Because he found that the snake was not afraid at all!
Logically speaking, with Gu Xiaoxing's life at the ancient spirit level, these mortal beasts, which are only at the living spirit level, should be very afraid of him.
But Gu Xiaoxing didn't know that the snake he encountered was not simple.
This snake is called the Ground Dragon!
