Chapter 1320: Ghost He's Past

There are many things Qingyang didn't know. When Guihe Zhenren saw Qingyang escape into the mist, he was sure that Qingyang would not come out alive, so he turned around and chased Guixia Zhenren.

Facing the pursuit of a snake and a man, especially since Guihe Zhenren was once the guard of Guixia Zhenren's family, he knew Guixia Zhenren's methods and temper quite well, and Guixia Zhenren didn't have Qingyang's good luck. In the end, after using all his methods, he was still captured alive by Guihe Zhenren.

Guihe Zhenren originally planned to kill Guixia Zhenren once and for all, but considering the threat from Youhun Valley and Youmu Zhenjun, if they caught up, it would be good to have an important hostage to make the other party afraid to act rashly, so Guihe Zhenren temporarily spared Guixia Zhenren's life.

After catching Guixia Zhenren, Guihe Zhenren first searched the ruins and took away all the resources he could find, and then took Guixia Zhenren away from the ruins while Youhun Valley and Youmu Zhenjun had not reacted yet. Hiding his tracks along the way and carefully avoiding many waves of pursuit, Gui He Zhenren finally came to Chujiang City with Black Water Demon Snake and Gui Xia Zhenren.

He didn't dare to go to Chujiang City. Although it was nearly two million miles away from the Ghost Valley, Gui He Zhenren knew that if the Ghost Valley was willing, they would definitely send someone to capture him, so he found a place like Wulongtan where few people lived in seclusion.

After taking two Lingming Heshou Pills in a row, Gui He Zhenren's life span increased greatly, and his physical fitness in all aspects improved to varying degrees. Gui He Zhenren tried to break through the Nascent Soul Realm by the side of Wulongtan. Perhaps he couldn't bear to harm her after spending so much time together, or perhaps he felt that Gui Xia Zhenren was no longer a threat to him. Gui He Zhenren just used means to control her and didn't kill her. As for the Black Water Demon Snake, Gui He Zhenren put him into Wulongtan and let him move freely.

In the blink of an eye, more than a decade has passed. It is unknown whether it is because Gui He Zhenren is not talented enough, or it is too difficult to break through the Nascent Soul Realm, or whether it is because his chance has not come yet. No matter how hard Gui He Zhenren tries, his cultivation is always stuck at the Golden Core Perfection and cannot go any further.

In fact, Gui He Zhenren also knows that bottlenecks are not so easy to break through, and the Nascent Soul Realm is not so easy to achieve. It does not mean that you can break through if you have reached the level of cultivation, or if you work hard enough, or if your life span is long enough. There is no necessary connection between them. Otherwise, there would not be so few Nascent Soul cultivators in the world. Gui He Zhenren has no chance, no guidance from his elders, and no suitable natural materials and treasures. It is normal for him to be stuck in the current realm.

However, seeing that he took such a big risk and betrayed the Ghost Valley and his master Youmu Zhenjun to snatch the Lingming Heshou Pill, the life span he finally earned was now decreasing bit by bit. Gui He Zhenren could not help but despair. Could it be that he would never be able to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in this life?

Just when Master Gui He was almost discouraged, some unusual changes suddenly occurred in Wulongtan. The black water demon snake he brought was accidentally advanced to the tenth level. The owner worked hard to practice in seclusion every day, but he could not break through. Instead, the demon beast he controlled broke through first without any effort. Sometimes things in the world are so magical.

Although Master Gui He was surprised, he did not think much about it. How to break through the bottleneck has not been fully explained so far, and there is no rule to follow. The predecessors have summarized some rules, but there are many situations that do not conform to the rules. Some people clearly meet the conditions, everything is ready, but they can only waste their lives in the end. Some people who no one thinks have any achievements, but they stand at a higher level, which surprises countless people.

It is indeed more difficult for demon beasts to break through than cultivators, but it is not impossible to break through. After all, the black water demon snake is a ninth-level peak demon beast. It is normal for it to break through suddenly when the opportunity comes. Therefore, Master Gui He did not focus on the black water demon snake, but just practiced in seclusion.

However, as time went by, Gui He Zhenren gradually discovered something unusual. Since the Black Water Demon Snake advanced, Gui He Zhenren suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of the current bottleneck, and felt that it was not particularly difficult to break through the current realm.

In fact, this is another magical thing about the corpse-controlling Gu. After the controlled monster's strength is improved, it will give back some of its understanding of the current realm to the master. This thing is mysterious, but it is a real thing. Gui He Zhenren's understanding of the current bottleneck is proof. Gui He Zhenren was ecstatic for a while. In this way, the probability of his breakthrough is higher. He never thought that his final breakthrough depends on this monster controlled by himself.

In the following period of time, Gui He Zhenren practiced more diligently. With the feedback from the Black Water Demon Snake, his understanding of the current bottleneck became deeper and deeper, and his confidence in breaking through became greater and greater. After several years, Gui He Zhenren finally broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm in one fell swoop and became a real Nascent Soul cultivator. He was no longer afraid of being hunted down by Youmu Zhenjun.

The magic beast and the master both advanced, and Gui He Zhenren was full of energy for a while, thinking that there was no place in the world that he could not go. With his current strength, even if he went to Chujiang City, he could occupy a place, and from then on, he could spread his branches and leaves and call himself the ancestor. If he had the opportunity in the future, he could even fight back to the Ghost Valley and take back everything he had lost.

However, Gui He Zhenren quickly calmed down. He knew that he was not yet a match for the family behind Youmu Zhenjun, and his current strength was not enough to fight against the Ghost Valley. If he was too arrogant, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble, so he had to keep a low profile for the time being.

After calming down, Master Gui He discovered another amazing thing, that is, after the Black Water Demon Snake advanced, its cultivation did not stagnate, but it has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and the speed is amazing. In just the few years that Master Gui He used to break through the Nascent Soul, the Black Water Demon Snake's cultivation has been raised to the level equivalent to the peak of the first level of the Nascent Soul of human cultivators, and it is not far from the second level.

He knew how difficult it was for a Nascent Soul cultivator to improve one level of cultivation. If there were no natural treasures and elixirs, it would take almost a hundred years to improve one level of cultivation by absorbing the Yinming ghost energy from the outside world. There are so many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Ghost Valley, but there are only three great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. It can be seen how difficult it is for a Nascent Soul cultivator to improve his cultivation.

It is more difficult for magic beasts to improve than human cultivators, but the Black Water Demon Snake can improve more than half a level of cultivation in just a few years. This speed is too scary. Think about it again. The Black Water Demon Snake suddenly advanced to a demon dragon without any signs before. There must be a deeper reason.
