Big chapter!

Five hundred years.
Changes in the sea.
Returning to Tianxuan again, Gu Shuo found that Tianxuan had changed a lot. Although it was also romantic, it was more iron-blooded. Tianxuan's atmosphere seemed to be changing from romantic to iron-blooded.
When I came to Tiancheng, I met Shi Kaitian and several others. The three of them are now at the third level of Mahayana perfection and are preparing to consolidate their realm for a period of time and enter the Jade Cauldron Palace to seek a breakthrough.
Gu Shuo could see that the three people felt much more relaxed. After asking about the current atmosphere of Tianxuan, Shi Kaitian explained to Gu Shuo with a smile.
They were inspired by Gu Shuo's decision to kill Chengtian and then leave. After that clan war, they also intentionally no longer participated in the suppression of the demon clan, and even passed on the position of clan leader to the next generation. The three of them lived in seclusion in the Tianmeng, and did not come out for a long time. In the past five hundred years, not to mention the demon clan of Tianxuan, even the human race had forgotten them.
The Mahayana period cannot be lived in seclusion, and the remaining six Mahayana periods of the demon clan naturally do not dare to enter the territory of the human race. Just because the human race has not emerged from the Mahayana stage does not mean that it is dead. Therefore, Tianxuan Zhanfeng is a monk who is below the level of Tribulation. In fact, the tribulation monks rarely appear. It was as if there was a tacit understanding.
That is, the human race and the demon race were not born in the Mahayana period. At the beginning, this tacit understanding was still tentative, but as one hundred and two hundred years passed, this tacit understanding became a real tacit understanding, and was adopted by the Tianxuan human race and the demon race. Subconsciously, this is the rule. In this way, there is no longer any scruples about Mahayana monks. The demon clan's attacks on the human race gradually became more and more wanton, and the external environmental pressure on the human race gradually increased. And this pressure is all-round, not coming from a certain direction, but coming from demons from all directions.
It is precisely this kind of external environment that was deliberately guided by Shi Kaitian during several Mahayana periods that gradually changed the atmosphere of the Tianxuan human race. There were fewer and fewer people who were romantically involved, and more and more people who were single-minded in seeking the Tao.
After listening to the stories of the three Shi Kaitian, Gu Shuo was also very happy. After all, Tianxuan is also his hometown, and he doesn't want Tianxuan to decline.
At the request of the three people, Gu Shuo told what had happened in the Great Wilderness over the past few hundred years, and then the four people communicated for nearly two months. Shi Kaitian and the three felt that they needed to digest the exchange with Gu Shuo. Once After digesting the gains from this exchange, and then entering the Jade Cauldron Palace, there is an 80% chance of breaking through to the middle of the Mahayana period.
Therefore, Gu Shuo decided to enter the Jade Cauldron Palace first, but asked Shi Kaitian and three others to help him summon the earth-level masters of the Alchemy and Talisman Array and stated that he wanted to invite them to Dahuang to hold an exchange meeting. After that, they will be sent back.
Shi Kaitian and others readily agreed, and Gu Shuo entered the Jade Cauldron Palace alone. He came to the statue again and sat cross-legged. The sound of the avenue sounded again, and Gu Shuo was immersed in comprehension.
one year later.
The three of Shi Kaitian entered the Jade Cauldron Palace, sat beside Gu Shuo, and then entered into realization.
Time flies, five years have passed.
Gu Shuo's body was shaken. He finally broke through to the seventh level of the Mahayana stage and entered the late stage of the Mahayana stage.
Gu Shuo has been trying to master this level for five years, and he was able to understand it in the Voice of the Great Way, which shows how difficult this level is in the late Mahayana period.
However, once this level is broken through, for Gu Shuo, the road ahead will basically be smooth. He opened his eyes, with a bit of excitement and a bit of regret in his eyes.
What is exciting is that after I have broken through the later stage, with the existence of Yushan, I should not have any more barriers, and I can practice all the way to the completion of the Mahayana stage.
Unfortunately, he felt that this statue had little effect on helping him.
The sound of the avenue produced by this statue is a means to assist in practicing the Jade Cauldron Technique. What Gu Shuo practiced was not the Jade Cauldron Jue, but the self-created Tai Chi Jue using the Jade Cauldron Jue as a nutrient. This makes a difference on the road. Although there are tens of millions of avenues, their origins are the same.
However, whether it is Gu Shuo's current state or the sound of the avenue on this level of the Jade Cauldron Palace, they are extremely far away from the origin of the avenue, and the Tao they have understood is only a little bit on the periphery of the avenue. Therefore, the Tao is different. Although we can learn from it, there are real differences. And once the lessons learned are absorbed, only the differences remain. It has no effect on Gu Shuo.
Looking around, he found that he was alone.
"Um?"
"Is this the case that Shi Kaitian and the three others haven't come in yet? Or have they already broken through and left?"
Both situations are possible, but Gu Shuo is more inclined to believe that Shi Kaitian and the other three have already broken through and left. After all, when he communicated with Shi Kaitian five years ago, he could already feel that the three of them did not need to settle for long, and their breakthrough was in the middle of the Mahayana period, which was not as difficult as his later period.
"Go out and have a look!"
Gu Shuo came out of the Jade Cauldron Palace, and Shi Kaitian and three others who quickly got the news appeared in front of him. Gu Shuo sensed that the auras of these three people could not completely converge because they had broken through not long ago, just like Gu Shuo's current aura condition. The four people looked at each other and said, almost at the same time:
"Congratulations!"
Then he said at the same time: "Congratulations!"
The last four burst into laughter.
The four people communicated for a few more days, and then Shi Kaitian introduced the Earth-level master of the Alchemy Tool Formation to Gu Shuo. When Gu Shuo saw Zhang Chen, he stepped forward excitedly:
"Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Chen was also very excited and kept patting Gu Shuo's shoulder with one hand: "You are very good, very good."
Shen Shuqiu looked Gu Shuo up and down curiously: "Is this what the Mahayana period is like?"
"Fellow Ancient Taoist!" Qian Yu and Long Liang also walked up.
"It's great to meet two fellow Taoists." Gu Shuo also happily came up to greet them. He didn't have many friends, especially friends he had lived with for several years.
After everyone got to know each other, Gu Shuo invited everyone into his cave. After everyone sat down, Gu Shuo got straight to the point:
"I would like to ask you all, who among you has broken through to the heaven level?"
Everyone shook their heads. Then Zhang Chen said: "Gu Shuo, could it be that you have broken through to the heaven level?"
Zhang Chen's words immediately made these masters excited.
If someone said that they had broken through to the heaven level, they would still have doubts in their hearts. But if it was Gu Shuo, they wouldn't doubt it.
In their hearts, Gushuo is synonymous with legend. But what disappointed them was that Gu Shuo shook his head.
"No! But the reason why I invite you here this time is to bring you together. Although the alchemy weapon formations are divided into four categories, I think there must be something in common. Maybe it will allow us to draw parallels and peer into the sky. A first-class secret."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts, and their eyes showed a look of thinking. Gu Shuo said again:
"But this process will definitely take a long time, so I invite everyone to go to the Great Wilderness Qingyun Sect. There we can slowly deduce, slowly understand, and slowly communicate. Of course, if anyone wants to leave, I I will send it to you personally to ensure your safety."
Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Gu Shuo, I'll go with you."
Shen Shuqiu nodded aside and indicated that he would follow. Qian Yu said: "Friend Gu Dao, you are both a master of Qi Dao and a master of Dan Dao. You should have the best understanding of the analogy between the two. I also want to hear your understanding, and I will go with you. "
Long Liang also nodded and said: "Friend Gu Dao, you are on the right track. Maybe the collision between us can really reveal the secrets of heaven."
Gu Shuo then smiled and said: "I am not only an Earth Master of Dan Dao and Qi Dao, but also an Earth Master of Talisman Dao and Formation Dao."
"ah?"
"real?"
Everyone looked at Gu Shuo in surprise. Gu Shuo nodded with a smile and said: "I mainly learned the Tao of Qi from Master Zhang Chen, and the Tao of Alchemy received a lot of guidance from Masters Qian Yu and Long Liang."
Qian Yu and Long Liang waved their hands. Gu Shuo nodded with a smile, and then continued:
"The Formation Dao was learned from Earth Master Zhong Wuyang. Only Fu Dao was not taught by Earth Master, but it was also taught by Xuan Master. After that, I studied and understood it myself."
Gu Shuo also said this deliberately. If he didn't say it, it would be difficult to bring these people back to the Great Wilderness Qingyun Sect.
He brought these people back to the Great Wilderness Qingyun Sect for two purposes.
One purpose is indeed to see if everyone can gather their strength to deduce a heaven-level alchemy weapon array. This is an extremely important breakthrough for the cultivation world. Once a breakthrough is made, the human race's comprehensive strength will be greatly improved, and his personal comprehensive combat effectiveness will also make a qualitative leap.
He is now at the seventh level of the Mahayana stage, and is no longer far away from the completion of the Mahayana stage. He said that he would ascend within a few hundred years.
What will the world look like after ascension?
Gu Shuo felt very unsure, but he was definitely not in his current invincible state. He might turn into a little shrimp. The situation is precarious, and lives may be threatened at any time. Therefore, improving one's strength as much as possible is the top priority. After all, there isn't much time left for him.
The second is to increase the foundation of Qingyun Sect. If you bring these people back to Qingyun Sect, you will naturally ask them to give lectures to the Qingyun Sect's alchemy weapon array disciples. These are all earth masters and will greatly enhance Qingyun Sect's foundation in the four aspects of the alchemy weapon array. This laid a solid foundation for Qingyun Sect to become a large sect.
Sure enough, when these people heard Gu Shuo's self-introduction, their hearts were moved.
Although it is said that Gu Shuo had the guidance of earth masters in the three aspects of alchemy, formation and weapon refining, only the making of talismans did not have the guidance of earth masters. But being able to comprehend all the four major assistants to the realm of Earth Master, Gu Shuo's level of understanding is shocking. Such a person, who has reached the realm of Earth Master in all four major auxiliaries, must have a unique understanding of analogy. If they cannot communicate with such a person, it is their loss and a missed opportunity.
They are all earth masters, and they all want to break through to the heaven level. Who is willing to miss such an opportunity?
So, these people all followed Gu Shuo to the wilderness. Even Shi Kaitian, Ye Qing and Mo Guyan were still thinking about it and followed Gu Shuo to the wilderness.
Gu Shuo sacrificed a flying boat, and the flying boat flew towards the wilderness.
Nearly a year later.
Everyone came to Qingyun Sect. When they saw the cultivation environment of Qingyun Sect, not to mention the earth masters, Shi Kaitian, Ye Qing and Mo Guyan all showed envy in their eyes. They looked at each other, and a thought came to their minds at the same time.
This wilderness is the center of the human race.
Tianxuan is much worse.
Shi Kaitian, Ye Qing and Mo Guyan did not stay in Qingyun Sect for long before leaving. They were not Earth Masters, so they had no idea of joining in the exchange. Instead, I wanted to see the sect established by the monks of my sect in the wilderness, and also wanted to travel around the wilderness.
Gu Shuo began to communicate and deduce with these earth masters, and Zhong Wuyang was already waiting at Qingyun Sect. These earth masters gathered together and expressed their opinions. Sometimes the atmosphere was extremely lively, and sometimes it was extremely silent, each thinking.
During this period, Gu Shuo would also take time out to practice step by step every day, and spend the rest of the time discussing and communicating with the earth masters. Of course, he did not let go of these earth masters and invited them to give lectures in Qingyun Sect. Let the four halls of the Qingyun Sect's Alchemy and Talisman Array take off.
Time passed in this atmosphere, and Gu Shuo was surprised to find that when he was inspired by these earth masters and understood the alchemy weapon array in a deeper level, he also had a deeper and broader understanding of the avenue of heaven and earth. This realization accelerated his cultivation speed.
In just a hundred years, his cultivation reached the eighth level of the Mahayana stage. ,
But there is still no very clear direction for the heaven level, and everyone has reached their limit. All need to be sorted out slowly. It has been a hundred years since they left their sect, and these earth masters all want to go back and have a look. Gu Shuo then used the flying boat again to send these people back to Tianxuan.
He sent these people to Tiancheng before saying goodbye to them.
Gu Shuo did not return to the wilderness, but flew towards the ancient road of Beidi.
Going to Beidi Ancient Trail is not to go back to Beidi, but to visit the tiankeng.
When he was chased by Zhou Wenlie, he had no choice but to jump into the sinkhole. If he didn't have the insect of life, he would definitely freeze to death in the sinkhole. Even Zhou Wenlie, who was in the tribulation period, couldn't stand the cold in the sinkhole.
This time he sent these earth masters back to Tianxuan. On the flying boat, he remembered this sinkhole.
Now that he is in the Mahayana stage, and his body's toughness has reached the perfection of the Mahayana stage, he is more or less sure that his current body should be able to withstand the cold under the sinkhole. Even if he can't resist it, he probably won't leave himself any room like before. As long as you give yourself a moment to react, don't you still have a life insect in the Qiankun Cauldron?
There are many strange places in this world.
For example, the three palaces in the colorful mist, but those three palaces have been explored by Gu Shuo. No need to go again.
For example, Jade Cauldron Palace.
In Gu Shuo's opinion, these are most likely to have fallen from the fairy world. In this way, the secrets in this sinkhole might also have fallen from the fairy world.
As for the dragon-shaped grass in this sinkhole, Gu Shuo knew it was a treasure. All the dragon-shaped grass she got last time has been eaten by Xiaobing, and Xiaobing's current cultivation level is stuck at the sixth level of the Tribulation Stage. If she wants to rely on herself to break through, she doesn't know when. But if we can get some dragon-shaped grass, we will probably have a breakthrough soon.
Northern Trail.
sinkhole.
Gu Shuo stood on the edge of the sinkhole and looked down. The ice and cold had distorted the space inside the sinkhole, making it difficult to see clearly below the sinkhole.
Gu Shuo took a step forward and slowly fell towards the sinkhole.
The cold is coming.
The further down you go, the colder it gets.
Gu Shuo looked downwards. He was running for his life last time and had no time to look below the sinkhole. What's more, his cultivation level at that time was not enough. Even if I wanted to look at the frozen and distorted space, I couldn't see the whole picture. But things are different now. He is now at the eighth level of the Mahayana stage, only one level short of reaching the door to ascension.
Gradually, he surpassed the depth where Zhou Wenlie fled in panic. Once he reached this depth, the temperature became even colder. Even in Gu Shuo's current state, he felt the cold. But it didn't reach an unbearable level, and I even just felt cold, not freezing.
He dropped some distance downwards, and gradually, the whole picture below the sinkhole appeared in his field of vision. He was sure that this was the Tianxuan Continent, the first person to reach this depth, and the first person to be able to see the whole bottom of the sinkhole clearly.
Then……
He was shocked!
He almost couldn't control himself and fell straight down.
He saw a dragon head.
A very big dragon head, like a hill.
The dragon head is completely snow-white, but very ferocious.
"Is this a white dragon?"
Gu Shuo stopped in the air and observed carefully.
He could feel that the ice was emanating from the faucet. He felt it carefully and was extremely certain in his heart that this dragon head was definitely not a dragon from this world.
Because this cold power is definitely not the power of the Mahayana period.
He is now at the eighth level of the Mahayana stage. How can he not sense whether it is the power of the Mahayana stage?
It's not that it's too much better, it's just slightly different.
But just this insignificant difference is a qualitative difference.
"No wonder Du Jie is so frozen that he's afraid of this place!"
Nowadays, Gu Shuo's eyesight has been widened, and he is no longer as surprised as he was when he first saw the colorful mist. He has determined that the dragon head fell from the fairy world. But I was still shocked.
There is only one dragon head, which means that the dragon head was chopped off. How powerful is this, able to kill a dragon with such power?
He was very careful about his whereabouts and took out a gourd of the spring of life given to him by Cang Cui, the leader of the Aoki clan on Life Island. If he felt that he couldn't resist it, he would take a sip immediately.
But fortunately, he can still withstand it. After all, his current body toughness has reached the ultimate level of Mahayana perfection.
Slowly, he landed only about ten meters away from the dragon head. The extreme cold hit him. Although Gu Shuo could still withstand it, a layer of frost was already covering his body. The spiritual power in the body is constantly running, driving away the cold that enters the body.
He saw the dragon-shaped grass. Last time in a hurry, he only took away a small piece. At this time, there was a small piece of dragon-shaped grass on the other side of the dragon head, about less than 200 plants.
Gu Shuo didn't pick the nearly two hundred dragon-shaped grasses immediately. They were all his own and he couldn't run away. He began to circle around the dragon's head. There are two scars on this faucet.
One place was the neck, where it was cut off. The incision was very smooth, and it looked like it was cut off at once. It was not clear whether it was a sword or a knife. The blood has solidified, or rather it is not solidified, it is frozen, glowing with crystal light.
There is a scar above the faucet. It is a line of scar and cannot be seen unless you look carefully.
Gu Shuo carefully landed on top of the dragon's head and felt the extreme cold coming from his feet, but he could bear it. He stood there motionless, feeling a thin sensation, still freezing from his feet, spreading up his thighs. Soon, he was like an ice wither.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Gu Shuo's figure shook, shattering the ice on his body, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He compared it and found that without touching the faucet, the energy emitted from the faucet was almost the same as the spiritual energy, except for the extremely thin difference. It is this extremely thin difference that makes Gu Shuo feel that even at the peak of the early Mahayana period, he may not be able to withstand it.
And when he stood on the dragon's head and his body came into contact with the dragon's head, Binghan suddenly had an improvement. Although he was almost assimilated by the spiritual energy, the energy that was different from the spiritual energy increased ten times. Gu Shuo felt that even Even the peak in the middle of the Mahayana period may not be able to withstand it.
This not only made Gu Shuo guess that the energy in this dragon head should be qualitatively different from the spiritual energy in his own world. It's just that it has been in this world for too long, and it gradually begins to evaporate and become thinner. If it continues, maybe it will be almost the same as spiritual energy in another ten thousand or tens of thousands of years. At that time, this sinkhole would no longer be considered a desperate situation.
Gu Shuo spread his spiritual consciousness and penetrated into the dragon head. As soon as he stepped in, he felt that the ice coldness had increased again, and the energy in the dragon head was ten times richer. Gu Shuo felt that even the peak of the late Mahayana period might not be able to withstand this energy.
Then, his consciousness dipped slightly and came into contact with the inner blood of the dragon head.
"boom……"
The energy in the blood increased dozens of times again. This time, it was the late Mahayana stage of Gu Shuo, which was perfect, and it was still perfect to the extreme. He felt a little unable to resist. In just an instant, his whole body was frozen. .
Gu Shuo shook his body and shattered the ice. He raised his head and drank more than ten sips of the fountain of life.
Originally, his current body could withstand most of this coldness. After drinking a dozen sips of the fountain of life, he was able to resist the invasion of this coldness.
"This kind of energy is really amazing! However, it cannot withstand the ravages of time."
Gu Shuo sighed. He could imagine that if a white dragon with such energy sneezed on him before he was injured, he would die, right?
This made him yearn for the fairy world, but also have a hint of fear.
He continued to look inside, and then he saw a dragon ball. Gu Shuo knew that this was equivalent to the soul of a human monk. He did not immediately put his consciousness into the dragon ball, but looked at the dragon ball from the outside.
"Um?"
He saw a crack on the dragon ball and compared it, it was the crack on the dragon's head.
