Chapter 729: At the end of the tunnel, a new hope appears
While the dignified Qingxuan Supreme was changing his sect and becoming someone else's disciple, at this moment in Liangu City, Gu Xiu, who was still hammering away with the Refining Dust Hammer, or the Xiaoyao Pei, which had completely turned into dust and debris, had reached the most critical moment.
"哐——!"
Accompanied by Gu Xiu's final hammer strike.
"Click~!"
A crisp sound as thin as a mosquito's hum was heard quietly, accompanied by the Seven Star Pendant that Gu Xiu had once fished out. At this moment, it was also like the Free and Easy Pendant before, accompanied by dense cracks. More and more cracks began to occupy the area, and finally, with that crisp sound, it turned into powder.
See this scene.
Gu Xiu immediately waved his hand, and the Dust-Breaking Hammer composed of dust light began to slowly dissipate in an instant. Although the Dust-Breaking Hammer was put away, the two layered dust lights that were caused by Gu Xiu's swing of the hammer did not disappear. Instead, they continued to flow around Gu Xiu, like a two-colored galaxy.
"Dong dong dong dong..."
But at this moment, Gu Xiu began to concentrate on playing the rattle in his hand. The rattle, which had been shaking constantly before, made more and more frequent and urgent sounds this time. As the rattle continued to beat, the two-colored "galaxy" that was originally flowing around Gu Xiu seemed to be pulled by the rattle.
Start to move little by little.
And in this constant rhythm, the two distinct dust lights coming from the Xiaoyao Pendant and the Seven Star Pendant began to merge and blend together little by little, turning into a new dust light that looked like colorful sand.
Seeing this, Gu Xiu immediately shouted:
"Broken Star!"
"Don't worry, I'm here!" Broken Star answered, and then the talismans on its body began to flash at this moment. The special power on it began to increase the attraction to the heavenly fire in the nine furnaces in the sky, and the nine heavenly fires continued to gather.
The Xiaoyao Pendant and the Seven Star Pendant were hammered into powder and burned little by little.
Just like the dust light before.
The two different powders also began to mix and fuse under the fusion of the heavenly fire, becoming indistinguishable from each other, and little by little, they became a completely new white jade plate.
And with the appearance of this white jade plate.
The new dust light that was constantly merging on Gu Xiu's side seemed to have found an outlet and began to gather on the white jade plate. As the dust light continued to accumulate, the white jade plate began to uncontrollably begin to appear with lines of innate Dao rhyme emerging on it.
This scene made Shattered Star very surprised:
"Hahaha, it seems our speculation was correct."
"Although your dust refining method is completely different from the ordinary weapon refining route, this method can also be used to fuse magic weapons. In fact, the fusion process will be smoother, and the new magic weapon will be more powerful!"
"We succeeded. At least now it seems that our first two steps were successful!"
"Then it's just a matter of waiting."
"After the Dust Light and the body are completely integrated, and then after the Dust Light and the body are perfectly integrated, the forging will be complete. Finally, it depends on whether Xiao Xiaoyao's awakening of the spirit can be successful..."
Gu Xiu nodded.
There was also anticipation in his eyes.
Xiao Xiaoyao himself is not an ordinary person. Combined with the Seven Star Pendant that can see through all formations, he is looking forward to seeing what these two completely different magic weapons will become after the fusion.
Especially when looking at the mysterious Dao rhymes appearing on the white jade plate, although the fusion has not been completed yet, Gu Xiu can guess what it will be after the fusion.
Will become more powerful.
but.
Gu Xiu has done everything he can in this fusion, and now he can only leave it to Shattered Star to guide him. Whether he is expectant or anxious, he can only wait slowly for the completion of this fusion.
Unable to resist, Gu Xiu looked down at the huge bronze city, then raised his head to look at the nine inverted furnaces above him:
"This Heavenly Fire... is indeed extraordinary."
"Since I have nothing else to do for now, why not try and see if this Heavenly Fire can be used to temper the body?"
Anyway, the troops from Anyou haven't arrived yet, and he can no longer interfere with the fusion of Xiaoyao Pei. In this case, Gu Xiu simply set his sights on these nine heavenly fires.
Talk about it.
As an ancient relic, the most special thing about Liangu City is none other than the nine heavenly fires. These nine heavenly fires share the same origin, but are all different from each other. They seem to never go out and never run out. They keep pouring and flowing, even forming a special place here.
It is because of the existence of this place that even the supreme being cannot stay here for long.
This area was filled with a vast amount of overbearing fire energy, which would burn and corrode everything within. If a cultivator stayed here for too long, they would develop a difficult-to-eliminate fire poison within their bodies.
This fire poison is extremely overbearing, and even the Supreme Being finds it difficult to eliminate it, and can only be suppressed in the body.
If the amount of deposited fire poison is small, it is fine, and people with high cultivation can still suppress it. But if the amount deposited is too much, even the supreme being will have blocked meridians and damaged Dantian Qi Sea, which will affect future cultivation.
This is the case.
Gu Xiu noticed it when he first came here five hundred years ago, and he was also powerless against this fire poison.
But now.
It was not known whether it was because he possessed a holy body, or if the wordless ancient book had completely reshaped his physical body. At this moment, although he still felt the domineering and fierceness of the fire poison, this fire poison no longer seemed to be completely uncontrollable. On the contrary, he felt that he could use this fire poison to start a new round of tempering of his body.
Do it when you think of it.
Gu Xiu immediately began to try. He raised his hand and began to actively attract several rays of heavenly fire towards his body.
The moment those heavenly fires approached, Gu Xiu immediately raised his right index finger.
Attract fire from heaven!
This action is extremely risky, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is seeking death. After all, Liangu City is known as the holy land of weapon refining. The nine heavenly fires here can be regarded as the most powerful weapon refining divine fire in the world. Even the most solid weapon refining materials in the world will begin to melt in front of this divine fire.
Not to mention the monk’s physical body?
Gu Xiu's physical body was indeed comparable to or even surpassed that of an ordinary Supreme, but at the moment when the extremely domineering divine fire was applied to his body, his right index finger instantly turned pitch black, and then the blood and moisture in it instantly evaporated, becoming extremely dry, as if it would melt at any time.
but.
His body absorbed the complete power of the Heavenly Heart Ice Lotus, and he had previously experienced the burning of the Hehuan Burning Love Fire. Just when his index finger was about to melt, the power originally in his body suddenly swept out at this moment, and began to reshape the burned injury on his finger.
The process is slow and also very painful.
After all, the fingers are connected to the heart, and even if it was just one finger, the pain of watching one's finger burn and ignite was something that no ordinary person could endure. Moreover, even if the power of the Heavenly Heart Ice Lotus in his body could quickly repair such a burn, the repair process would be even more painful than being burned by flames.
Gu Xiu had previously experienced the body refining of the Burning Fire of Love. The feeling of being in the midst of both ice and fire at that time made Gu Xiu feel like he was living a life worse than death.
But now compared to the heavenly fire.
It was even more painful than before. Even though it was just a finger, it hurt so much that Gu Xiu even felt his soul start to tremble.
But even though he was in extreme pain, he remained silent.
Be patient.
only……
After enduring for a while, Gu Xiu couldn't help but frown again: "This improvement...why is the effect so poor?"
He discovered that the finger that was constantly being tempered in extreme pain had indeed become a little stronger, but only a little. The increased strength was much smaller than Gu Xiu had expected. Even after each tempering from beginning to end, the improvement could be said to be negligible.
Compared with the previous alternating enhancements of Tianxin Ice Lotus and Burning Fire of Love, it is much weaker.
Even the speed is very slow.
After a while, Gu Xiu finally gave up on using the divine fire to temper his body:
"No."
"Although this skyfire is overbearing, it is somewhat thankless."
"But why is this happening?"
"Is it because I lack the true body refining technique, or because my body has actually reached a bottleneck, or is it that my body refining has become immune to fire-based body refining, so this is the case?"
"..."
Gu Xiu didn't force it anymore.
While the path of cultivation emphasizes enduring hardships to achieve greatness, it doesn't mean it's as simple as simply enduring them. Sometimes, choice is more important than effort. Of course, the main reason was that time didn't allow it. The next powerful person from the Dark Window could arrive at any time, so Gu Xiu couldn't focus all his energy on this.
after all.
The healing of the body is not completely unlimited, and it is a kind of consumption to the body.
But there is a saying that goes.
The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is another village.
Just when Gu Xiu gave up on tempering his body, he suddenly discovered unexpectedly that the purple palace in his sea of consciousness was constantly emitting purple air that was flowing through his sea of consciousness. Those purple air seemed to have special powers, which made his soul, which was originally trembling due to extreme pain, slowly calm down.
This discovery made Gu Xiu squint his eyes:
"According to the half of the Purple Mansion Divine Treasure that Mei Huaping read, the Purple Mansion should be more like a place high and mighty, above all cultivators."
"Why is it that the Purple Mansion in my body can not only borrow my Purple Mansion's power, but can even actively protect my soul from harm?"
"This is different from the record in the Purple Mansion Divine Treasure."
"In that case..."
As he spoke, an idea suddenly came to Gu Xiu's mind.
His mind immediately invaded the sea of consciousness, and then as his thoughts turned, a sharp long sword condensed in his sea of consciousness.
This is a soul-destroying blade that Gu Xiu learned from the "Purple Mansion Divine Treasure".
If controlled properly.
It can break out of the sea of consciousness and kill people's souls, which can be regarded as a means of attacking the soul.
But this time.
Gu Xiu did not control the soul blade to kill the enemy, but instead aimed at the shadow in the sea of consciousness and slashed it down!
That shadow was Gu Xiu's own soul.
It has not yet turned into a sea of consciousness, and has not yet entered the realm of divine soul!
He wanted to try it.
Cut off one's own soul!
Use your body to feed the Purple Palace!
