Chapter 194 The Heavenly Tribulation Has Not Yet Come
"Ahem... Damn! I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"
Gu Xia, who was blown away by the shock wave again, stood up from a pile of rubble.
Not far in front of him was a large pit with a diameter of nearly ten feet, surrounded by flesh and broken bones.
It was the parasite blood demon in the grave digger's body that was detonated. The deformed and bizarre huge body was completely destroyed in an instant, and most of the flesh and blood evaporated directly.
Gu Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't know what to do.
Because the detonation technique was put together in a hurry.
The core technique was taken from the two modules in the beast control talisman. Because Gu Xia's soul power was not enough, the "explosives" encapsulated in the technique were temporarily replaced by the blood demon's mysterious power in the blood lotus.
When soul cultivators perform Taoist techniques, if their soul power is not enough, they can indeed use external mysterious power such as black crystals to replace it, but they have to practice many times before they can do it.
Even Gu Xia's detonation technique cannot be called Taoist technique, it should be called talisman.
Because he temporarily attached the spell to the short spear instead of releasing it directly, which is the characteristic of the talisman.
Iron is not a good material for Taoist magic, and it is easy to cause the explosion of the mysterious force when the spell is engraved.
Gu Xia's behavior is just the nonsense of an amateur in the eyes of a true soul master. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for him to save a detonation talisman.
But fortunately, the whole process is precisely regulated and manipulated by Xingchen, and with the help of huge computing power, Gu Xia's "nonsense" was successful.
"Humph! Heavenly Dao, you watch, this second soul cultivation heavenly tribulation I will pass..."
Gu Xia's joy and relief did not last too long.
Because he found that his soul cultivation realm had not changed, and he was still stuck in the realm of controlling objects.
"How is it possible? Could it be! That giant blood demon is just a prelude to the heavenly tribulation?"
Gu Xia was shocked, and his heart suddenly jumped faster, because he remembered that he said he would take him to see Si Yu when he surrendered before digging the grave.
"Damn it! The real heavenly tribulation is not for me to kill the Si Yu of the Origin Church, right?
Heavenly Dao! How can I, a soul cultivator and a Xuanliu warrior, kill a Si Yu of the Origin Church?"
Gu Xia asked the sky speechlessly.
He had already played all his cards to kill the giant blood demon.
To put it bluntly, Gu Xia had run out of tricks.
If there is another gravedigger now, even without his blood demon transformation, Gu Xia will not be able to win again.
"No wonder it is called the heavenly tribulation! It is obvious that the heaven is making things difficult for people!"
Gu Xia realized the true meaning of the word heavenly tribulation for the first time, and he felt inexplicably resentful.
But it is impossible for people to lose their temper with the heavenly Dao. Gu Xia quickly calmed down and began to think about what to do next.
Heavenly tribulation, there is no way to avoid it, and the longer it is delayed, the more terrifying it will be.
Yu Liyan's previous experience is still in front of us.
With this little strength of Gu Xia, he certainly cannot change his fate against the heaven, or deceive the heavenly Dao to get through the heavenly tribulation.
Therefore, he actually has only one way, that is to face it head-on.
"There is no retreat in the way of Xuan Xiu! Even if it is a dead end! I am not afraid! Not afraid! Not retreating!"
Gu Xia gritted his teeth and made up his mind, raised his head and moved forward, to show his courage to the Heavenly Dao.
...
Rest for about half an hour.
Gu Xia came to a collapsed ruin.
He thought, and his soul power turned into two invisible big hands, digging up pieces of rubble.
Soon the rubble was cleared, and a floor with obviously different materials and textures was revealed under the ruins.
The collapsed house and the fallen rubble did not leave a scratch on it.
The floor was embossed with the Blood Sea Demon Eye pattern of the Origin Church.
Gu Xia pressed his hand on the Demon Eye, and injected some of the Blood Demon Mysterious Power that had just recovered in his body.
Instantly, the pupils seemed to come alive, flashing a strange red light.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The sound of the mechanism operating and rubbing came, and a deep secret passage was revealed under the floor.
Gu Xia walked into the secret passage, and after scanning the stars, he detected the footprints left by the Blood Skull Taoist not long ago on the ground.
"It seems that this is the passage to the final boss level."
He stared at the secret passage that led to nowhere, and then walked forward.
Gu Xia did not know the structure of the Origin Church's base, and those Origin Church believers also fled in all directions.
But he still found this secret passage.
Because Gu Xia had obtained "revelation" to some extent.
That night in Liuhuo County, Monk Huiming's Buddhist scroll made him suddenly realize some of the fur of the Way of Nothingness, and also made his soul cultivation realm further.
Reaching the peak of the Controlling Objects Realm, only one step away from the Night Travel Realm.
So, Gu Xia's second soul cultivation heavenly tribulation also came as expected.
Before the Heavenly Dao sends down the heavenly tribulation, it will give some hints to let the person being tribulations prepare.
However, it should not be called a heavenly tribulation. To be more precise, it should be called a test or task of the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao doesn't like those disobedient subjects. Those who try to avoid the test will return to the examination room in various forms and face more severe tests.
Before, Yu Liyan avoided and fled in various ways, but Xiahou Ling and his men still "coincidentally" came to her, catching her off guard. There was also a time bomb beside her. Even if Dugu Baihu came to rescue her, she would still die.
The Heavenly Dao likes subjects who face it head-on, and Gu Xia is like this. He sensed that the heavenly tribulation was coming, so he was determined to face it.
So he briefly gained the ability to know the destiny.
The difficulty of the heavenly tribulation is far beyond Gu Xia's imagination, but he still does not intend to retreat and takes the initiative to face it.
So, Tiandao simply pointed the way directly. Although it was his first time to come to the Origin Sect’s headquarters, he found this secret passage easily because he had a “premonition” in his heart.
…
The length of the passage was beyond Gu Xia’s imagination. He walked more than fifty miles in it and still didn’t reach the end.
He couldn’t help but wonder: “Why did the Origin Sect build such a long underground secret passage?”
Gu Xia walked dozens of miles in the secret passage. Because he had just experienced a great battle, his body did not have much Xuanli, so he needed to let Xingchen recover it while walking, so he did not use the energy-intensive martial arts such as Blood Shadow Step.
This journey took him nearly three hours in total.
At this moment, Gu Xia’s Xuanli in Dantian had recovered 70% to 80%. Although the weakness caused by the injury and the Violent Qi Jue was still there, he could still deal with some battles.
Looking at the underground secret road route map simulated by Xingchen, combined with the map of Beifu County.
“This position, on the ground, is near Yundiao Town.”
Gu Xia found that he seemed to have walked back again, and the secret passage in front of him finally came to an end.
…
Ze Yi and Feng Er are the two guards guarding the exit of the secret passage of the Origin Sect Underground Palace.
Today they are on duty here as usual.
This passage is rarely opened except for the transportation of some secret materials from the mountain camp every few months.
So it is a boring job, and both of them were sent here for punishment because they made mistakes.
But today is different, because someone came from the secret passage an hour ago.
It was a Taoist called Si Yu's brother who was sent here by several believers in the camp.
Ze Yi: "When I went to relieve myself just now, I heard that Si Yu's brother provoked a sect disciple, who seemed to be a master, and chased him all the way to the mountain camp.
So, the gravedigger sent someone to send Si Yu's brother back from the secret passage."
Feng Er: "Will the gravedigger lose?"
Ze Yi: "How is it possible? The gravedigger is a master of Xuanliu Perfection.
He will be promoted to the new Si Yu soon. How can the sect disciple be more powerful than him?"
"That's right."
Ding!
Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the door of the secret passage behind the two.
"Huh? Why are there still people here today? Didn't the last batch of blood-serving insects arrive a few days ago?"
Amid the sound of the mechanism running, the stone door slowly opened.
A young man in green clothes who was unfamiliar to them appeared in the passage, and he was not wearing the robe of the Origin Church.
The two guards were a little confused, but they thought that it was impossible for outsiders to enter this secret passage.
They asked politely: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Gu Xia smiled slightly: "I am a disciple of Tianxuan Sect, and I come here to exorcise demons."
"What! Hurry..."
The two guards were startled and were about to do something, but they saw a red light flying out from Gu Xia's waist and circling in a circle.
With a few plops, the two heads fell to the ground.
They still had incredible expressions on their faces, and their mouths opened and closed a few times, but they didn't say anything.
Gu Xia walked straight forward without caring about the corpses.
Even if he was forced to cross the tribulation, he had to take the initiative in his own hands.
There was no need for the heavenly tribulation to find him, he took the initiative to find the tribulation.
Since the Heavenly Dao used the Origin Sect in this place as a tribulation, Gu Xia rushed into the Origin Sect's lair and killed anyone he saw.
