Chapter 1431 Ghost Purgatory

In the void, the main battle clone that was escaping at a rapid speed suddenly stopped, and then countless particles disintegrated, and the flesh and blood disappeared between heaven and earth along with the true qi.

At the same time.

Gu Xiuyun's consciousness passed through the light gate and came to the vast sea of ​​clouds. There was a majestic palace above each cloud.

The Demon-Slaying Palace, the Spirit-Sealing Palace, the Thousand Swords Palace, the Bright Sky Palace...

The most majestic and magnificent of them all was the Ten Thousand Dharma Palace. The palace was hundreds of millions of feet high, and the square in front of the palace was nearly a million miles long. Many figures were listening to the Taoism in the square.

And Gu Xiuyun was standing on the edge of the Ten Thousand Dharma Palace.

"Although the formation is a side door, it has the magical power to evolve the world, and it is also the most special system in the middle-level Taoism," the white-bearded old man sat in front of the square and said leisurely, "Since you are focusing on the formation, you should deduce it diligently..."

"Is this... the Qiankun Realm formation?"

Gu Xiuyun listened for a moment and couldn't help showing surprise on his face.

Many practitioners can only dream of preaching at the level of Qiankun, but here it is openly preached in the square without any cover-up.

At the edge of the square, practitioners occasionally pass by, and they have no intention of staying.

At this time, countless messages came into his ears.

‘Xianyun Taoist, the Eight Difficulties Realm Fate Realm Lord, is recognized by Qingling Supreme and granted the Wood Clothes Messenger Order. ’

‘The Five Elements Messengers can read the Taoist books and listen to the preaching in the Wanfa Hall, and can also borrow the teleportation arrays in various places in the Qingxiao Heavenly Domain, but every Dao Year, they must pay a cloud stone, otherwise they will be deprived of their messenger status. ’

‘Cloud stones can be used to go to the battlefield outside the domain, or to refine various spiritual treasures and array diagrams, or to complete the bounty missions of the Qingxiao Hall, so as to obtain...’

‘…’

As the messages came into his ears, he gradually understood the rules of the Nine Clouds.

This is a mind space for practitioners, and anyone can go there as long as they are allowed.

Here, there are Taoist books for everyone to read, and Qiankun Supreme preaches every day.

Five elements, wind and thunder, time and space, formations, spells, even fate, cause and effect, killing... As long as it is the Taoism of the world, it will be described one by one.

Of course, there are pros and cons. If you want to stay here, you must accumulate merits and exchange them for Yunshi.

"With my current identity, I can only enter and exit the Wanfa Hall. I am not allowed to go to other palaces, not even the Demon Hall," Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly, "Forget it, let's go to the Wanfa Hall first to see what kind of classics are there?"

He walked along the edge of the square into the depths of the palace. In front of him was a vast void, with countless stone tablets standing in between, extending to the distance.

"Is this... Wanfa Building?"

Gu Xiuyun's eyes widened immediately.

It turned out that the so-called Wanfa Hall was the Wanfa Building that could be seen in every immortal city market. Outsiders would have to spend three million square crystals a day to enter the Wanfa Building, but the Five Elements envoys did not need to spend any money, which was not bad.

"It's a pity that they are useless to me."

No matter how many classics there are in the Wanfa Building, they are not as good as the Secret Pattern Map and the Fate Sky. As for the preaching... you can listen to it, but it's hard to say how much benefit it has.

At this moment, a pleasant bell rang.

Gu Xiuyun turned his head and saw two side halls standing at the edge of the void, one filled with golden light, and the other as black as ink, as if it was dug out from hell.

"There are actually two side halls in the Wanfa Building. I have never seen them before. Can only practitioners who have entered the Nine-Layer Cloud Heaven see them?"

Gu Xiuyun stepped forward and soon came to the front of the golden palace.

The hall was full of dazzling things, with countless illusory rare and precious spiritual materials placed on display. In the front was a row of Duzhen Fruits, each of which was crystal clear and filled with inexplicable fluctuations.

'Duzhen Fruit can make up for the damage to the foundation of Taoism, restore the inner world to its original form, and break through again. If you are a practitioner of the middle-level Taoism, you must get two Duzhen Fruits. Price, 13 cloud stones. ’

“It’s really expensive.”

Gu Xiuyun’s forehead trembled slightly.

One piece of cloud stone can stay in the Nine Clouds for a Dao year, but the Crossing Fruit costs thirteen cloud stones. No wonder Qian Ming, Du He and others have never broken through.

“A practitioner of the middle-level Taoism needs two Crossing Fruits to make up for the Tao foundation? The requirements of the superior Taoism may be higher. Fortunately, the superior system has the source of Taoism rules, which saves a lot of money.” Gu Xiuyun whispered secretly.

That being said, not every Heavenly King can comprehend the source of Taoism.

Some people’s Taoism is completely contrary to their hearts, and they may not be able to comprehend it even if they practice until death.

“Huh? What is that?”

Gu Xiuyun’s eyes trembled suddenly, and his eyes were attracted by the strange stone in the distance.

It was a piece of stone with an extremely simple color, with Taoism patterns engraved on the surface, and a faint fluctuation of will, as if it contained the mystery of heaven and earth.

‘After refining the Tianxin Creation Stone, you can use the power of Tianxin to open up a small mind space, feel the mystery of Tianxin creation, and it is extremely beneficial to comprehend the material way. Price, Wuyun Stone. ’

“It can actually allow practitioners to open up a mind space? A mind space of their own?” Gu Xiuyun was surprised, and his eyes suddenly lit up, “Oh, right, the mind space that Lu Lian Tianjun opened up in the Samsara Holy Realm may have been with the help of this thing!”

He couldn’t help but think of another thing.

The owner of the Time and Space Hall, Bai Ze Zhenzun, has established a secret space in the chessboard realm and the surrounding realms.

That secret is nothing, just a cave world hidden deep in the void particles, but the war monument in this person’s hand is quite mysterious.

It can actually allow the mind consciousness of practitioners to enter it and fight.

This method is different from the intention

The mind space is so similar. In the past, he always thought it was some kind of special spiritual treasure. It was not until he entered Wuyang Sea Realm and read a lot of Taoist books that he finally understood... The mind space cannot be opened up by any spiritual treasure.

You can only rely on your own thoughts.

Baize Zhenzun doesn't even understand the rules of living beings. How strong can his mind and will be? How is it possible to open up space for thought.

So he has been puzzled.

Now I finally understand that Bai Ze Zhenzhen must have obtained a Tianxin stone to open up a space of thoughts, and his mind and will were integrated with it.

It's a pity that Bai Zezhenzhen's mind and will are too weak. Even with the help of the Tianxin Stone, the space of his mind is still weak and can only withstand Douxiao realm practitioners.

"For billions of years, others have experienced countless reincarnations and have already fallen. Only Bai Zezhenzhen... can wake up safely in every reincarnation. I'm afraid it has something to do with the space of his mind."

Gu Xiuyun whispered in his heart.

…

After a long time, Gu Xiuyun walked out of the golden palace.

There were a dazzling array of rare treasures there, but none of them were something he could afford. No matter how much he looked at, he could only stare.

Next to the golden palace, the dark palace exuded a cold atmosphere. The door of the palace only cracked a gap, and there was a faint roar coming from the palace.

"There shouldn't be any danger in Jiuzhongyuntian. Even if there is any danger, it will only result in the loss of some thoughts."

Gu Xiuyun came to the dark palace and looked through the gap.

The hall was empty, but filled with deafening sounds of killing, as if countless strong men were fighting.

"Boy, if you are timid, don't go into Ghost Purgatory, lest you lose your mind and even your Taoist mind." An indifferent voice came from the side.

Gu Xiuyun turned his head and saw two practitioners in armor pushing open the palace door and stepping inside. After only taking a few steps, their whole bodies began to tremble.

"There are ninety-nine stairs on the first level of Ghost Purgatory. I don't believe it can't be reached within thirty steps."

One of them clenched his teeth and clenched his fist so hard that the veins on his arm exploded.

"Thirty steps? Do you really dare to think that Senior Brother Qu Zhan persisted here for seven thousand years and only took twenty-nine steps? If we can hold on beyond ten steps, we should have hope of entering the Qiankun Realm."

The two sat down cross-legged, their whole bodies shaking violently.

"Ghost Purgatory?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Gu Xiuyun frowned slightly, "It seems that this is a place to temper your will. I have the help of Destiny and Heaven, but I don't need this place."

"But since I'm here, it doesn't hurt to give it a try."

He pushed open the palace door and walked into the palace.

As soon as he took half a step, his body trembled suddenly. He was actually cut off from the mental power given by the rules of fate, and he could only rely on his own will to contend.

What's even more frightening is that the heartbreaking pain permeates the whole body, as if thousands of insects and ants are biting him, and it's like knives slashing at the body, cutting open the skin and flesh, and sprinkling sea salt on it.

The heartbreaking pain and bone-chilling torture made Gu Xiuyun's face turn pale.

"A mere five practitioners actually dare to enter the ghost purgatory," one of the armor cultivators sneered, "Don't think that half-step supreme is powerful. You only rely on the willpower given by the rules of living beings. Without the blessing of the rules, your mind and will are not as good as seven. The Master of the Difficult Realm can take at most three steps and his mind will be annihilated."

"Messenger in wooden clothes, I advise you to leave here quickly. This is where the disciples of Qingxiao Palace practice. We need to endure will torture and reach a certain level before we can try to break through. But you... there is really no need to endure this. bitter."

Gu Xiuyun remained silent.

After entering Jiuzhongyuntian, a layer of green armor appeared on his body, and there were vegetation patterns on his chest.

Although the other party couldn't see his face clearly, he could tell the origin of the armor.

"Ghost Purgatory...the torture of the will is really powerful."

As his thoughts flashed, Gu Xiuyun took another step.

"Um?"

The two armor practitioners were surprised.

It's amazing that a Five Elements user could actually take two steps in Ghost Purgatory without swaying.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiuyun took another step and came to the stairs where they were.

"How is that possible?" one of them exclaimed.

Don't underestimate these three short steps. Ghost Purgatory is extremely difficult. Even the first step makes countless half-step supremes despair.

From then on, the pain increased a lot with every step I took.

As a disciple of the Qingxiao Palace, the armor cultivator has outstanding talents, is guided by top experts, and has experienced countless battles. He can only reach the third step. You can imagine how difficult it is.

How could a Five Elements user come this far?

At this moment, Gu Xiuyun took another step, the fourth step, the fifth step, the sixth step... He took a full nine steps before stopping temporarily.

"Nine steps, impossible!"

The armor cultivator looked horrified, "This is already the threshold for entering the Qiankun realm. Most of the disciples in the temple have not been able to achieve it. How can a Five Elements practitioner succeed?"

"Who is he?"

The other person frowned.

In Jiuzhongyuntian, armor and clothing cannot be changed at will. The opponent wearing wooden armor must be the messenger of wooden clothes. There is no mistake about this.

But how could a Five Elements user walk nine full steps in Ghost Purgatory?

"The will torture here is much more severe than before." Gu Xiuyun closed his eyes tightly, and his whole body was surrounded by bone-chilling pain. "But fortunately, this torture did not make me feel sad."

All gods are destroyed. "

The pain in the Ghost Purgatory is extremely terrible. The further you go inside, the closer you get to your limit. But at the same time, it also greatly improves your mind and will.

Compared to the Soul-Locking Heart-Eating Art, practicing here is undoubtedly much better. No matter how painful it is, it will not endanger your life. At most, you will lose some of your thoughts and recover in a moment.

"It's still a little weak. Let's go forward and see."

Gu Xiuyun stepped forward and walked a full seven steps.

The armored practitioners behind him were already stunned. They couldn't believe that a Five Elements practitioner could actually walk to the sixteen-step area.

Sixteen steps are considered elite among the realm masters of the entire Qingxiao Palace.

More importantly... walking here, you have the qualifications to become a core disciple, because only by walking beyond sixteen steps can you bear the two perfect rules.

"Almost, close to my limit."

Gu Xiuyun pondered for a moment, and then stepped forward again, one step, two steps, and three steps.

The moment he walked to the nineteenth step, bang, his body collapsed, and his consciousness disappeared from the nine-layer cloud sky.

"Nineteen steps, did you see it? That person walked nineteen steps."

"I saw it!"

"How is it possible? He is clearly a Five Elements Envoy. How can his mind and will be so strong? Nineteen steps!"

The two people were shocked and unbelievable.

Nineteen steps are extremely rare in the entire Qingxiao Palace. Almost all those who walked there are Qiankun Supreme.

Senior Brother Qu Zhan walked to twenty-nine steps. His name is known throughout the Qingxiao Palace. His strength is almost terrifying. That's why he was mentioned by the two. Such a person is already one of the most terrifying disciples of the Qingxiao Palace.

"The wooden-clothed envoy who came out of nowhere has such a will. If he practices martial arts..."

The two looked at each other, their faces filled with deep shock.

Soon, a message spread in the nine-layer cloud sky that a wooden-clothed envoy entered the ghost purgatory and walked a full nineteen steps.

As soon as the news came, countless people were amazed.

The Qiankun Supreme are all wind and thunder envoys, as well as higher-level punishment envoys and order envoys, and will not serve as Five Elements Envoys.

This person must be a half-step supreme. A mere half-step supreme has walked nineteen steps in the ghost purgatory. How can it not be amazing?

…

"The wooden-clothed messenger actually walked nineteen steps in the ghost purgatory? Awesome, he must be a killing celestial monarch."

The killing celestial monarch raised his eyebrows and looked at the majestic palace.

All the nine-difficulty celestial monarchs and half-step supremes who entered the battlefield outside the domain can refine a temporary talisman to enter and exit the nine-layer cloud sky.

In addition to the Hall of All Laws, they can also go to another palace and communicate with each other in it so that they can provide support at any time.

"Only killing practitioners need to sharpen their minds and wills and withstand stronger killing auras," the killing celestial monarch clenched his fists, "Gu Ximing, you wait for me, I will soon accumulate enough merits, please ask the Supreme Qiankun to calculate, by then, your death will come."

…

"The wooden-clothed messenger walked nineteen steps in the ghost purgatory? It can't be that junior Xianyun, right?"

After hearing the news, the Supreme Qingling was a little stunned.

After all, not long ago, he had just granted a wooden envoy order, and Gu Xiuyun... with only the eighth level of cultivation, he could condense a body that transcends the fifth level. His mind and will must be ridiculously strong.

"Maybe it's really him," Qing Ling Supreme's eyes flashed, "I'll tell Luo Lang and Lie Jun a few words in advance to prevent them from leaking the news. If Qing Xiao Palace pays attention to this person, I won't be able to hide the matter of the underground city."

While thinking, Qing Ling Supreme's fingertips moved slightly and sent a message.

Repairing the underground city requires a huge amount of spiritual materials. Even if it is only 10% saved, it is no less than several times the wealth of the Supreme of the Performing Realm.

In the files of Qing Xiao Palace, the person in charge of repairing the city is Bai Lu Yao Zun. Qing Xiao Palace is very clear about this person's calculation ability and can also calculate how much spiritual materials are needed.

But if it is Gu Xiuyun... it's completely different.

And at least most of these benefits will go into Qing Ling Supreme's pocket, and Lie Jun and Luo Lang will also get some benefits.

How can they not care?

Soon, Luo Lang and Lie Jun received the news. They were surprised and shocked, and sent messages to Gu Xiuyun.

"Daoyou Xianyun, did you go to the Ghost Purgatory?"

"Yes."

"How far did you go?"

"Only ten steps. I heard from others that a senior brother Qu Zhan walked twenty-nine steps, which is much better than me."

Looking at the communication talisman in front of them, Lie Jun and Luo Lang were speechless.

It was indeed him!

Nineteen steps in the Ghost Purgatory, only the disciples of Qingxiao Palace know what this means - to become a core disciple and have countless opportunities.

"Daoyou Xianyun, don't go to the Ghost Purgatory in the future. What you need most now is to comprehend the rules of living beings and materials, and improve the realm of Taoism." Luo Lang hurriedly sent a message.

"The Nine-Layer Cloud Heaven is meaningless. It's just listening to Taoism and reading classics. Those classics are not very useful for destiny practitioners. It's better to deduce the formation ban in the underground city." Lie Jun sent a message.

"It's really useless."

Gu Xiuyun replied.

After receiving the message, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly reminded a few words not to tell anyone about the Ghost Purgatory.

"These two people... are really interesting." In the stone hall, Gu Xiuyun looked at the communication talisman and shook his head and laughed.

Even if he wanted to tell, who could he tell? Yan Suqing? Qian Ming? Luo Fang?

Everyone knew that he was a warrior who transcended the fifth level, and his mind and will were naturally very strong.
