Chapter 204 Purple Air Coming From the East
"You still need to practice more. Every supreme method has gone through countless trials, constant transformation, and constant sublimation, and only then can you reach the supreme realm." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said.
Gu Wudi nodded.
Then, he was brought to a special metal palace by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.
"This metal palace is a trial road. When you enter it, you will encounter all kinds of famous and powerful races that have appeared in the long river of history. Only by defeating one opponent after another can you get through and survive.
If you can't get through, you will fall in the metal palace, and even I can't save you." As soon as the Lord of the Forbidden Zone finished speaking, Gu Wudi agreed decisively.
Although he practiced the Qi Refining Method that appeared in the world for the first time, no one had ever practiced it and succeeded. Every step he took was pioneering, which was much more difficult than practicing along an old path. However, his practice speed was not slow, but very fast. It didn't take long for him to reach the late stage of Qi Refining and God Transformation, and it was not far from the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.
He has no shortage of speed in cultivation, the only thing he lacks is fighting.
Now, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone provides such a trial road, which is undoubtedly a timely help. Whatever you need will come, Gu Wudi naturally has no reason to refuse.
At the same time, he is eager to see those heaven-defying races that have appeared in history, hone his fighting skills, and consolidate his Taoism.
"Very good, you are worthy of being my disciple. Go in. This is a trial road that makes your scalp tingle. I hope you can pass it smoothly." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded and signaled Gu Wudi to go in.
Stepping into the metal hall, Gu Wudi felt like he was traveling through the long river of history, going to the distant ancient times, and witnessing those supreme races that have not passed away and have passed away.
The most cruel trial began. What awaited Gu Wudi was the beginning of an endless war. The immature Wandao Fist, the Eight Styles of Sanfo, and several supreme methods taught by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, etc. Gu Wudi could no longer remember how many times he had performed them. He only knew to fight continuously. Later, it became his instinct to use these supreme methods.
Three full months had passed, and the door of the Metal Hall had remained closed, with Gu Wudi not seen coming out.
Finally, in the fourth month, he came out, with an undisguised look of fatigue on his face, his body was almost exhausted.
However, he had gained a lot, his eyes were extremely bright, and the light of martial arts was blooming.
This time on the road of trial, Gu Wudi integrated various supreme methods and mastered them to the point of being able to use them as easily as one's own arm. He had a deep understanding of the Dragon Fighting Heavenly Art, the Immortal Slaughtering Art, the Golden Crow's Cry, the Emperor's Falling Years, etc., and could use them at will.
Especially the new realm - the Six Paths of Reincarnation. After many battles, this realm has been developed to the extreme. With the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art that controls six supreme forbidden methods, Gu Wudi's combat power is so strong that he can look down on the past, present and future at the same realm.
"After practicing the secret method, my cultivation has almost been consolidated. Next, I should practice the Purple Qi Eastward." Gu Wudi muttered to himself, walked out of the metal hall, and went to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone to show the results of the four-month trial.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone could not help but praise him repeatedly. He always believed that the taboos he taught Gu Wudi would shine in his hands, and now, it has been verified.
After bidding farewell to his master, he sat cross-legged in a metal hall for cultivation, took out a treasure bag, and took out a divine fruit engraved with reincarnation patterns from it, which was the reincarnation fruit.
Eating this fruit can not only allow the cultivator to experience reincarnation once, but also make the power of the soul soar, which is extremely effective.
Gu Wudi swallowed one without hesitation, and the whole person immediately stagnated on the spot. Mysterious mist surged from the soul, wrapping the soul layer by layer. At the same time, the hazy reincarnation sound sounded, as if to take people to reincarnation.
When he came out of the reincarnation and woke up slowly, he suddenly found that his soul power had become much stronger.
Having tasted the sweetness, he continued to take the reincarnation fruit, constantly shuttling between reincarnation and reality, and his soul power became stronger and stronger.
As the saying goes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. After Gu Wudi ate hundreds of reincarnation fruits, his soul was already misty and some amazing changes were taking place. Indistinctly, it seemed that a vast purple world was slowly taking shape.
"Purple air comes from the east!"
He sensed the energy of this realm, and it was not far from the present world.
Gu Wudi no longer ate the reincarnation fruit. He had already eaten hundreds of them. For him, the effect of the reincarnation fruit had become negligible. He took out a jade bottle, opened the cork, and raised his head to drink the reincarnation water in it.
Sure enough, the effect of the reincarnation water was not affected and was still obvious.
He began to practice in depth.
When the water of samsara lost its effect, Gu Wudi took out a black lotus, which was the soul-guiding lotus, which was very useful for the cultivator's soul.
In addition to the soul-guiding lotus, many other great medicines that were good for the soul were taken out.
In order to cultivate the purple air coming from the east, Gu Wudi spent a lot of money.
Next, he took the great medicines one after another to provide a continuous source of power for the ancient particles transformed by the soul.
One day five months later, outside the metal hall, a strange phenomenon shocked the sky, purple air came from the east, and it was vast for 30,000 miles. The entire cross Yin-Yang forbidden land was shrouded in purple air. All the creatures living in the forbidden area looked up at the sky, not knowing what happened. Only the master of the forbidden area looked relieved and nodded secretly.
Gu Wudi succeeded. The purple mansion where the Yuanshen was located had undergone qualitative sublimation and transformation. A wisp of purple air was extracted and floated up slowly, becoming the nourishment for the three flowers of the Great Dao.
"Boom!"
Invisibly, the three flowers on his head vibrated and emitted a mysterious sound of the Great Dao.
The petals of the flower of the Great Dao opened again, and the fairy light became rain, pouring down like a downpour, as if someone was flying like a fairy, a sacred scene.
At this moment, most of the three flowers of the Dao were in full bloom, and only the last step was left to fully bloom. It could be vaguely seen that on each flower of the Dao, there was a vague figure sitting cross-legged, representing the essence, qi, and spirit of a living being.
The blooming of the flowers of the Great Dao was undoubtedly another carnival of the Dao. Gu Wudi could clearly sense that his strength was soaring rapidly.
"The next step is the last step of refining qi into spirit, and the three flowers are gathering at the top." He muttered to himself, and did not come out of retreat immediately. He decided to make a concerted effort to completely cultivate the second great realm of the Qi Refining Method.
Half a year later, Gu Wudi came out of retreat. This time he failed in his practice. He was unable to make a concerted effort and reach the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. He was always one step short of the mark, and he could not overcome it no matter how many means he used.
He realized that he could not continue like this and should go out for a walk.
After listening to Gu Wudi's description, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone smiled and said, "At your age, it is already very amazing to have reached this level of cultivation. Moreover, every step you take is to create a method. It is normal to encounter difficulties. If retreating and practicing hard cannot make you go further, then the best way is to go out for a walk."
"Master, the ancient world is very big, but I really don't know where to go to find opportunities. Is there any place you recommend?" Gu Wudi asked.
Suddenly, he thought of a place and asked tentatively, "Master, have you ever heard of the Immortal Peak? Or the Immortal Land?"
"Immortal Peak? Immortal Land?"
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone pondered for a while and really gave the exact address.
"I haven't heard of the Immortal Peak, but I do know something about the Immortal Land behind it. That place is extremely dangerous. It is located in the Great Scarlet Sky. It is an absolute forbidden zone for life. Immortals who enter it rashly may die."
"Master, have you been there?"
"I went there once. There are indeed some tricks. The flames inside are terrifying. Even immortals can be burned to death. However, it is not as magical as the rumors say, and there is no so-called supreme opportunity. There are a few bare, burnt mountains in the deepest part. There is nothing special." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded in response.
But immediately, he realized that something was wrong.
"The mountain that can withstand the flames that can burn the immortals is extraordinary in itself. Perhaps there are really unknown opportunities hidden in the deepest bald mountains.
However, no one knows what secrets these bald mountains hide. Some people thought that these bald mountains have been tempered in flames for many years and have become the top materials. They wanted to take them away to refine weapons, but failed. They could not be shaken at all."
Gu Wudi listened to the description of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and was sure that the bald mountains were the supreme treasures hiding the second half of the Immortal Sutra. However, no one knew the secret of the bald mountains, so it has never been opened.
The Immortal Sutra is the supreme method of nurturing the heaven and earth and cultivating the flesh. Legend has it that if you practice to the extreme, you can be immortal. Even if your soul falls, you can return again and return to the peak. It can be called the strongest secret method of refining the body.
It is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, which are engraved in the mountain. Once someone learns all the scriptures and refines them to the state of great perfection, the inheritance will disappear. The scriptures will not reappear until the creature who learned the scriptures dies.
If only the upper part is learned, then after the inheritance disappears, it will grow again after a long time. As for the lower part, you must learn the upper part before you can learn the lower part. Without the content of the upper part, even if the lower part is placed in front of you, it is an unapproachable treasure mountain that can only be seen but not learned.
At this moment, there should be only one creature in the primitive ancient world who has learned the upper part, and that is the Tianjiao Ant, one of the Ten Evils.
Although only the upper part has been learned, it is enough for the Tianjiao Ant to stand out from most of the Ten Evils, and its physical body is terrifyingly powerful.
Now, Gu Wudi hopes to get the complete version of the Immortal Sutra, so that he can temper his physical body to the greatest extent and become his invincible capital.
However, for now, he only knows the whereabouts of the lower part, which is the bald peaks in the deepest part of the Immortal Land in the Great Scarlet Sky.
As for the Immortal Peak recorded in the upper part, even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone has never heard of it, and it is probably not recorded in ancient books.
The only one who knows its whereabouts is the Sky Horn Ant, one of the Ten Evils.
There is a reason why it is called "evil". It is impossible to tell Gu Wudi the whereabouts of the upper part of the Immortal Sutra, and it is impossible to directly teach him this supreme method. Gu Wudi has to find a way to plot the Immortal Sutra.
"By the way, Master, have you heard of the North Sea Stone Forest?" Gu Wudi did not give up and asked about this place.
In the original book, the place where the upper part of the Immortal Sutra is recorded is the ultimate trial site behind the North Sea Stone Forest.
"North Sea Stone Forest? Let me think about it... Well, there is really such a place, in the Wuliangtian territory." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone remembered this place and immediately gave a positive answer.
"In the Wuliangtian territory?" Gu Wudi heard this and suddenly got excited. If it was Wuliangtian, then everything would be right.
“Yes, in the Wuliangtian Realm, there is a vast ocean called the North Sea. Deep in the North Sea, there are large tracts of huge stone forests, which are like heavenly swords inserted into the ground, forming a stone forest wonder.
The stones there are very unusual, with a strange power. Once you carve your name on it, you can manifest different degrees of visions through potential, talent and other aspects.
Many cultivators come here to carve their names on the stone peaks, just to verify their talent and combat power.
Over time, it has become a must-go place for the ancient world's geniuses. Almost every creature who has achieved the Tao of the Immortal King has written there, shining through the ages, and the legend will last for a long time. "
"Master, did the Lord of the Sky Horn Ant also write in the North Sea Stone Forest?"
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone heard this and looked at Gu Wudi with a little surprise. He didn't know why he mentioned the Sky Horn Ant. Could it be that he wanted to compare his strength with the Sky Horn Ant clan, which is known for its extreme strength?
"It was mentioned. At that time, the extreme strength overwhelmed the stars, the sun and the moon, making it famous in the ancient world, and finally reached the point where it is now comparable to the Immortal King. "
"Thank you Master for your doubts. The disciple has decided to go to the North Sea Stone Forest. "
"Well, carve your name on those stone peaks to see how strong your potential is, whether you can suppress the ancient times and take the lead." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said with a gloomy look in his eyes.
He had a high opinion of his disciple and was very confident in him. He believed that Gu Wudi's talent could completely suppress all the creatures who had mentioned their names in Beihai Stone Forest. Once they mentioned their names, it would inevitably shake the entire primitive ancient world.
At that time, all the creatures in the thirty-three worlds would know that there was a young genius named "Gu Wudi" from the Yin-Yang Forbidden Land of the Great Dao Tianshi Cross who suddenly appeared, and his glory overwhelmed the ancient and modern times, and he was the only one in the world.
Afterwards, Gu Wudi said goodbye to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and prepared to go to the Wuliangtian Beihai Stone Forest alone.
"After going to Beihai Stone Forest, your next stop should be the Land of Immortality, right?" The Lord of the Forbidden Zone asked.
"Master, I saw a record in an ancient book of the Emperor's Fall that the two places were related and there was a great opportunity hidden. "Gu Wudi nodded and said.
When he asked about the Immortal Peak and the Immortal Land, he had a strong purpose. At this point, in order to prevent his master from getting suspicious, he could only blame everything on the ancient book of Emperor Luo.
This trick is quite effective. When the Lord of the Forbidden Zone heard that it was an ancient book from the time of Emperor Luo, he immediately became alert.
"Throughout the ages, the secret of the Immortal Land has never been known to anyone. The ancient book you have read may be true."
After that, he handed Gu Wudi a jade ornament and told him that wearing the jade ornament would allow him to ignore the flames of the Immortal Land and enter and exit the deepest part.
