Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 576 “Not simple”!
The Zhanxian Sect is located in the north-central part of the Xuantian Continent and is considered to be the closest top-notch force to the Xuantian Palace.
But this "closest" is also relative. For a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation stage, it may be really close, but for a Nascent Soul stage, it may not be possible to reach it even after flying for ten days or half a month.
Even within an area of tens of millions miles so far away from Xuantian Palace, the Zhanxian Sect has the final say!
Within the tens of millions of miles of Xuantian Continent, Zhanxianmen is like a holy place in everyone's heart. It is not much worse than Xuantian Palace.
Of course, this was in the past.
Now, Xuantian Palace is covered with the name of Gu Xiaoxing. He has fought against Yantian, killed the strongest, and exterminated the immortals. Gu Xiaoxing's reputation has already spread to all directions. Even within the jurisdiction of Zhanxianmen, the deterrent power of Xuantian Palace is unparalleled.
But they didn't know that Gu Xiaoxing, who was notorious and made people tremble with fear, was currently within the jurisdiction of the Zhanxian Sect.
In a mountain area filled with spiritual energy, there used to be an extremely huge lake.
But at this moment, there are twenty-eight more mountains above this lake.
And in the mountains and fields outside the lake, there is a city.
This is exactly the Soul-Devouring Sect and Lonely City.
From now on, the Soul-Devouring Sect will be located here!
It is worth mentioning that a few days before Gu Xiaoxing left Xuantian Palace, Jin Peng had already brought Du Xu and Gu Nianxue to Xuantian City.
They contacted Gu Xiaoxing in Xuantian City as agreed before.
After an absence of nearly two months, Du Xu and Gu Nianxue were naturally very excited to see their master again.
What's more, they have heard too many rumors about the Master's deeds in these days.
The image of the Master became increasingly lofty in the hearts of the two.
As for Jin Peng, the shock he felt was even greater than that of Du Xu and the others.
He almost watched Gu Xiaoxing grow step by step to where he is today, from a young boy who left the village in search of immortals to someone who has now climbed to a height that Jin Peng could never reach!
After the few people reunited, they stayed for a few more days, and then Gu Xiaoxing took them away from Xuantian City.
Back to the present, the Soul-Devouring Sect has taken root in the territory of the Immortal-Slaying Sect.
Gu Xiaoxing did not take care of either the relocation or the resettlement, and left it all to Du Xu and Gu Nianxue.
Even the matter of going to the Zhanxian Sect to pay homage to the mountain leader was done by the two of them personally, and everything was done according to the rules. There was no special treatment given to Gu Xiaoxing.
This was also Gu Xiaoxing's instruction. The Soul-Devouring Sect would no longer be allowed to act in the name of Gu Xiaoxing.
Of course, Bai Xiangtian, Li Wenru and others also contributed a lot.
Apart from Jin Peng, the Divine Incarnation cultivator, these few Nascent Soul cultivators are already the strongest backbone of the Soul-Devouring Sect and should shoulder this important responsibility.
In the end, after discussions among several parties, the position of the Soul-Devouring Sect's leader fell to Du Xu.
As for Gu Xiaoxing, he has completely hidden behind the scenes.
After stepping down as the sect leader, Gu Xiaoxing naturally could no longer live on the top of the sect’s mountain.
So he and Xu Qianxing chose a mountain as the forbidden area of the Soul-Devouring Sect, and no one was allowed to enter.
Just when the Soul-Devouring Sect was finally completely settled, Gu Xiaoxing chose to go into seclusion in the forbidden area!
The mountain where Gu Xiaoxing is located stands on the edge of the lake and is covered by a separate large formation. From the outside, it looks like there is hazy clouds and fog, and it is difficult to see clearly.
Gu Xiaoxing sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of fairy crystals appeared.
Looking at these fairy crystals, Gu Xiaoxing had a determined expression, and then he slowly closed his eyes, and his soul-devouring magical power began to operate!
Instantly, an extremely strong suction force emerged from Gu Xiaoxing's body. However, although the suction force was strong, under Gu Xiaoxing's intentional control, the range it covered was not wide, only covering an area of ten feet.
But within these ten feet, there seemed to be an endless abyss, madly devouring the tremendous energy from the fairy crystal.
After these energies entered his body and were refined by the Soul-Devouring Divine Ability, they quickly merged with Gu Xiaoxing and became a part of him.
And among all this, a part of the energy continuously flows into the glowing and hot iron lump in his lower dantian, accelerating the fusion of his innate immortal ancient treasure and constantly nurturing it.
Similarly, there are also strands of energy injected into Gu Xiaoxing's Demonic Sword and Innate Spirit Talisman, which continue to nourish them.
It has been more than a month since the battle. At this moment, the cracks on the Will Spirit Sword have obviously recovered a lot, but there are still a few large cracks that have not yet fully recovered.
However, the innate talisman has been restored to its original state, and is even getting stronger with the continuous infusion of fairy crystal energy.
The Vermillion Bird Spirit in the innate talisman, its predecessor was the Vermillion Bird demon whose cultivation level had reached the second ancient realm. These fairy crystal energies are also very suitable for its cultivation.
In addition, apart from the indestructible ancient treasure that has not yet been fully formed in Gu Xiaoxing's body, he also has several treasures that can lead to immortality!
Including Tongxian War Hammer, Tongxian Copper Coins, Tongxian Diaotian, and of course, Tongxian Ring.
As for the Star Moon, the immortal treasure of the Star Moon God, Gu Xiaoxing gave it to Dongfang Yu.
Although Dongfang Yu has the immortal ancient treasure Xuantian, with her cultivation level she can't bring out much of the immortal ancient treasure's power, and it is also a certain burden on herself.
It would be more practical to use the treasure of immortality first. Although it is a bit forced, at least there will be no burden.
As for the piece of paper that imprisoned the old immortal, Gu Xiaoxing gave it to Hongyue.
However, Hongyue was not strong enough to refine the immortal treasure at that time, so it was Gu Xiaoxing who helped her refine it.
In response to this, Hongyue remained silent for a long time.
In fact, when Gu Xiaoxing destroyed the Immortal Sect, he killed another old immortal from the Sect and obtained a treasure that could bring him immortality.
It was an Ice Soul Bead, but unfortunately it was later taken away by Dongfang Yexuan.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxing had already seen the shamelessness of Dongfang's father-in-law at the auction.
It’s always like this, I clearly said I don’t want anything, but in the end I want everything!
"You go back on your word and have no credibility at all. If it weren't for the fact that you are my father-in-law and my second brother, I would have just given you a bowl of stir-fried green beans. Why would I have tolerated you for so long?"
These were the real thoughts that Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to say.
The world is vast, birds are flying and insects are chirping.
Sometimes people feel that time flies by quickly and sigh that time is short, but in this sigh, time is also constantly passing by without stopping.
Before Gu Xiaoxing had time to sigh, ten months had passed in a flash.
Gu Xiaoxing slowly opened his eyes. For him, these ten months were just a blink of an eye.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing exudes an aura that makes people feel thrilling!
During the ten-month retreat, Gu Xiaoxing absorbed a total of five hundred immortal crystals!
Such a number of immortal crystals is enough to create several great perfections of spiritual transformation!
However, Gu Xiaoxing only went from the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation to the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation!
From this, we can see how profound Gu Xiaoxing's own cultivation is.
Although his cultivation was still in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, the aura he exuded at this moment was even more terrifying than that of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation!
There is even a feeling of being unable to restrain oneself.
This is also because Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation level is improving too quickly.
The Soul Devouring Divine Ability combined with the Immortal Crystal can indeed rapidly improve Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation, but the disadvantages are also significant.
The level of cultivation to be improved is too huge, and without the corresponding long-term polishing, it is doomed that the level of cultivation cannot be stabilized and is difficult to be complete.
Originally, Gu Xiaoxing wanted to elevate himself to the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation in one go. Even if it would cause his foundation to become weak, it did not matter. At most he could polish it slowly later.
But now he realized that he was just overthinking.
When one reaches the realm of Spirit Transformation, every advancement is a huge leap, far beyond the realm of Core Formation and Nascent Soul!
Especially from the late stage of Spirit Transformation to the great perfection of Spirit Transformation, there is a world of difference between them.
So no matter how hard Gu Xiaoxing tried, he could not break through to the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation in this state.
Eventually, he had to give up.
Until this moment, Gu Xiaoxing no longer focused on improving his cultivation, but began to carefully feel himself, and he couldn't help but frowned.
At this moment he finally understood. No wonder he couldn't break through. After careful comparison, he clearly felt how much his cultivation had improved from the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation to the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.
It can be said that it is far beyond the past!
He has not yet fully mastered such a huge amount of cultivation, so how can he break through?
But then, a smile appeared on Gu Xiaoxing's lips again.
He just raised his hand and pointed, and suddenly a fiery red divine light condensed. Soon, the rotating fireball appeared at the fingertips of Gu Xiaoxing.
This fireball did not emit very bright light, but strangely, it was very bright.
It looks like a constantly rotating... sun!
It is the iron lump in the past, and also the ancient immortal treasure of Gu Xiaoxing!
Yes, it has completed the fusion, and at this moment it is continuously releasing the power that only the indestructible ancient treasure possesses, which is extraordinary and magical.
Moreover, after this lump of iron completed its fusion and completely became Gu Xiaoxing's innate immortal ancient treasure, its originally terrifying weight had been weakened by more than a hundred times for Gu Xiaoxing.
But Lone Star could still feel its weight.
But for other people, its weight will not decrease at all!
The actual weight of this small fireball at the fingertips of Gu Xiaoxing is absolutely beyond imagination!
Gu Xiaoxing thought about it and wanted to transform it into a magic sword.
However, it did not move.
"Um?"
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, then his mind moved again, and he imagined eighteen kinds of weapons such as knives, sticks, axes, and hammers in his mind.
Then they tried to see if it could emit devastating rays of light or flames, or even grow bigger or smaller, among many other possibilities.
However, it remained motionless from beginning to end.
In the end, the only way Gu Xiaoxing could think of to use this ancient treasure that was indestructible was to treat it as a stone and throw it at people.
This... is so lucrative!
Suddenly, a bad premonition came into Gu Xiaoxing's heart.
He finally realized that his ancient treasure that was indestructible seemed... not simple!
