Chapter 538: Tempering Oneself

In exchange for some resources, Gu Jiuchen now even accepted some relatively dangerous tasks.

The place he was going to this time was not particularly far away. He did not plan to take Si Mingyue with him. He wanted to go alone.

As long as he helped the store owner and took the treasure back from the hands of the demon cultivator, it would be considered a success.

He also broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. All four cultivations broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. The law cultivator, body cultivator, demon cultivator, and soul cultivator had all reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

The pressure emitted by the four ninth-grade Nascent Souls in his body could suppress them together.

And now he is still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He wants to lay a good foundation, stabilize his realm, and then improve his cultivation.

So now that he has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he has not experienced the Nascent Soul Battle, so he lacks experience, and this task just gives him the opportunity to train.

Gu Jiuchen came to the place marked on the jade slip, which is a mountain range occupied by demon cultivators. He sneaked into the mountain range and carefully avoided the patrols of demon cultivators. He found that the demon cultivators here are powerful and should not be underestimated.

Finally, he found the demon cultivator who took away the treasure, a demon beastman with a ferocious face. Gu Jiuchen observed the other party calmly, knowing that he had to act carefully and meticulously.

Relying on his agility, he approached the demon beastman silently. He launched an attack, and a sharp sword energy slashed at the demon beastman. However, the demon beastman showed amazing strength, and the demon power emanating from his body was able to resist Gu Jiuchen's attack.

Gu Jiuchen's heart moved, and he decided to use his unique skill-the sword of soul. He condensed a huge soul sword, the sword body emitting colorful light, and the blade flashed with the breath of destruction.

The demon beastman felt the threat of the soul sword, and he began to become uneasy. However, he suddenly launched a powerful magic, and a dark energy gushed out of his hand, trapping Gu Jiuchen in the darkness.

Gu Jiuchen felt unprecedented pressure, and he realized that he must get rid of the shackles of this darkness as soon as possible. He closed his eyes, gathered all his spiritual power, and launched a powerful spiritual shock wave.

The darkness was shattered in an instant, and Gu Jiuchen regained his freedom. He attacked again, and his soul sword turned into rays of light, instantly piercing the body of the monster beastman.

The monster beastman screamed, and his body began to gradually dissipate. But he was not dead. His strength was very strong, and it was not so easy to die. He just used some secret method and disappeared.

Gu Jiuchen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he would need to spend some effort to complete his mission, and now his main purpose was to gain experience. Just when he was about to continue looking for the monster beastman. However, before he left, he heard a cold laugh.

"Gu Jiuchen, do you think you can easily take away the treasure? You are too naive!" A gloomy voice echoed in the mountains.

Gu Jiuchen's face changed, and he immediately became alert. He looked around, but found no human figure. He knew that the other party must be hiding in the dark, preparing to launch a surprise attack on him.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky and quickly attacked Gu Jiuchen. Gu Jiuchen immediately used his Soul Sword to try to resist the opponent's attack.

However, the black shadow actually dodged the attack of the Soul Sword and stabbed towards Gu Jiuchen's heart. Gu Jiuchen was unable to dodge, and he felt a sharp pain and blood gushed out.

Gu Jiuchen realized that he was in danger and he had to find a way to get out of this dangerous situation. He condensed all his spiritual power and launched a powerful spiritual shock wave.

The black shadow was repelled, and Gu Jiuchen seized the opportunity and quickly fled the mountains. He returned to the shopkeeper's shop, feeling weak and gasping for breath.

The shopkeeper saw the injuries on Gu Jiuchen's body, and he showed a satisfied smile. He walked up, handed Gu Jiuchen a bottle of pills, and said: "This is my special spiritual medicine, which can help you recover from your injuries. Your mission is not yet completed, and the treasure has not been taken back, but I can still give you a chance."

Gu Jiuchen took the pills and looked at the shopkeeper with gratitude in his heart. Although he paid some price, he knew that the strength of the demon cultivator was really terrible.

Even if he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he could not defeat the opponent with only the power of the magic cultivator or the demon cultivator, but he was not afraid to improve his fighting power.

He needed to fight repeatedly so that he could continuously integrate his cultivation and improve his experience.

The demon cultivator was really powerful, and for him, it was a good whetstone.

The magic cultivator could not be defeated, and the next step was the physical cultivator. He had not used his external Dharma image for a long time. If the huge ape Dharma image was released, it would definitely bring the power to shake the world.

After recovering from his injury this time, he was ready to go to the land of the monster again and fight the monster.

And this time, he got another message from the shop owner that the monster man had been on guard and left the original place and went to another place.

In a valley, there were many other powerful monsters.

Gu Jiuchen came to a valley occupied by monsters very quickly. There were lush vegetation, beautiful mountains and clear waters, but endless dangers were hidden.

He learned from the shop owner that there was a demon beast living in this valley, a legendary nine-tailed fox. This nine-tailed fox had devoured the souls of many monks and was not only powerful but also cunning and vicious.

Gu Jiuchen was ready to fight, and he decided to challenge the nine-tailed fox and defeat it to prove his strength.

He carefully sneaked into the valley and observed the nine-tailed fox's every move. The nine-tailed fox seemed to be aware of Gu Jiuchen's presence, and there was a cunning light in its pupils.

Gu Jiuchen was not in a hurry to take action, as he knew that he had to be cautious when dealing with such a monster. He released his external Dharma image and turned into a huge ape with extremely powerful power.

The nine-tailed fox saw Gu Jiuchen's external Dharma image, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. It shook its nine tails and let out a sharp hiss.

Gu Jiuchen pounced on the nine-tailed fox without hesitation, and the two started a fierce contest. His external Dharma image showed amazing combat power, and every fierce attack could make the nine-tailed fox painful.

However, the nine-tailed fox was not defeated. It flexibly dodged Gu Jiuchen's attacks, sometimes launching cunning magic, and sometimes releasing powerful fire attacks.

Gu Jiuchen felt unprecedented pressure, and he knew that he had to find a way to defeat the nine-tailed fox as soon as possible. He gathered all his spiritual power and launched a powerful spiritual shock wave.

The spiritual shock wave instantly penetrated the nine-tailed fox's defense and repelled it. Gu Jiuchen seized the opportunity and launched another attack. His external Dharma image turned into a series of violent lights, instantly trapping the nine-tailed fox in it.

The nine-tailed fox let out a painful hiss, and its body began to gradually dissipate. Gu Jiuchen knew that he was about to win, and he concentrated all his strength and launched the final blow.

A blazing flame gushed out from his external Dharma image, instantly defeating the nine-tailed fox. Gu Jiuchen's external Dharma image dissipated, he regained his freedom, and the joy of victory surged in his heart.
