Big chapter!

Three days later.
Everyone rode the flying boat and flew towards Yuhua Sect. Gu Shuo stood on the deck and looked at the flying boat carefully. He could tell that this flying boat was much more advanced than the flying boat in Dahuang, and there were many runes on it that he couldn't understand.
After flying like this for seven days, I saw a place shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance. At this time, Qiu Paiyun and Wang Ran were already standing on the deck with Gu Shuo. Qiu Paiyun rolled up his sleeves, took Gu Shuo and Wang Ran and flew out of the flying boat, landed on the ground, and then said to Wang Ran:
"give it to you!"
"Uncle, please rest assured!" Wang Ran saluted.
Gu Shuo also saluted and said, "Thank you, Senior Qiu."
Qiu Paiyun took out another messenger jade sword and handed it to Gu Shuo: "You can use this sword to find me, but you only have one chance."
Gu Shuo took the jade sword with both hands: "Thank you, senior."
Qiu Paiyun nodded, stepped in the air, and flew away.
Wang Ran smiled and said, "Gu Shuo, come with me."
Gu Shuo followed Wang Ran towards a village. Gu Shuo was very satisfied. He saw that the village they were going to was the one closest to Yuhua Sect. He thought in his mind that Jia Guocheng seemed to have a high status in Senior Qiu's heart. .
Wang Ran personally arranged it and everything went very smoothly. The villagers are very enthusiastic about Gushuo.
This is a large village with nearly 3,000 households. The village chief is Zhou Zongliang, a Mahayana monk. After Wang Ran left, he called some villagers, and in less than an hour, he built a house and a small courtyard for Gu Shuo.
Gu Shuo was not stingy either. He took out several monster corpses collected in Green Field City and treated the entire villagers to a feast. This made the villagers more enthusiastic about Gu Shuo. During the dinner, Gu Shuo told about the Battle of Greenfield City, which brought them closer to each other. In just one day, Gu Shuo integrated into the village perfectly.
The village allocated 20 acres of fairyland to Gu Shuo. Gu Shuo was responsible for planting 20 acres of fairy rice. 60% of the harvest was given to the Yuhua Sect and 40% went to himself.
Therefore, Gu Shuo went to the fields with the villagers early the next morning to tend the fairy fields. In the afternoon, Gu Shuo went to the library in the village.
This village also has a library, with a total of six floors. Gu Shuo's current cultivation is only qualified to enter the first level.
The first floor contains inheritance and martial arts related to the body tempering realm, as well as a large number of miscellaneous books. When Gu Shuo walked out of the library at dusk, he had already gone over the exercises and martial arts on the first floor. It didn't really help Gu Shuo, but it broadened his horizons and made his thinking more divergent. It was somewhat helpful to him in the direction of the avenue.
He returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed. Gu Shuo quietly realized the Taoist heart and accelerated the flow of the great avenue of space in the body towards the Taoist heart. After two hours, I was exhausted and had no choice but to withdraw from the meditation.
He reached out and took out nine storage rings from his arms. These were worn on his fingers but had been hidden in his arms a long time ago. Wearing it on the finger is still too conspicuous after all.
He took out the fifty storage rings wrapped around his waist and placed them in front of himself. He frowned slightly.
Wearing so many storage rings on your body will eventually reveal them. It is essential to be on guard against others and always find some way.
He can't sort out the items in the storage rings yet because his spiritual consciousness cannot be used and cannot be seen. Unless one sheds blood to recognize the Lord, but it is not worth it to shed blood to recognize the Lord one by one.
Gu Shuo thought for a while, closed his eyes, and activated his soul.
Knowledge within the sea.
The Yuan Shen sits cross-legged on the Sea of Knowledge Lotus, with the Tai Chi sword placed across his knees, holding the Qiankun Cauldron in his left hand, and dragging the Nine Dragon Furnace with his right hand. The surrounding area is like a closed space, covered by layers of spatial Taoist charms.
The Tai Chi diagram between Yuan Shen's eyebrows slowly rotated, and a ray of spiritual power was projected from the center of Yuan Shen's eyebrows, forming a spiral shape and heading toward the space avenue that sealed Yuan Shen.
An hour later.
Gu Shuo stopped trying. Although his face was extremely tired, there was also a hint of joy.
After his recent attempt, even though he used the power of his spiritual consciousness to use the secrets of Tongxuan Tai Chi, it did not work.
There is a seal that completely penetrates the space avenue, but it has also achieved results.
Try it slowly!
Gu Shuo understood that it was extremely unlikely to forcefully open a gap to allow spiritual consciousness to peek out using the secrets of Tongxuan Tai Chi. Unless his Tongxuan realm can break through to a higher realm.
What is the next higher realm?
He didn't know. He planned to go to the library in the village to have a look tomorrow. What I have been reading today are all exercises and martial arts. The exercises and martial arts in the body tempering realm cannot contain the mysteries of this level. Tomorrow, I will look at the miscellaneous books to see if they can be recorded by chance.
Eight days passed in a flash.
There are no records of mysteries in the village library. After all, it is just a village library. But Gu Shuo's understanding of the profound meaning of Tai Chi has made a breakthrough.
Although it was just this slight improvement, it allowed Gu Shuo to see a new world. Although he didn't know what realm this was, he knew that it was a qualitative breakthrough, a realm higher than Tongxuan. He had only scratched the surface. With great reluctance, he was able to penetrate the many barriers with his spiritual consciousness, and hurriedly put the fifty-nine storage rings into the Qiankun Cauldron. Then he was unable to do anything, interrupted his spiritual consciousness, and the soul was sealed again.
"call……"
Gu Shuo spit out a mouthful of long words, excitement surging in his heart. He now feels like a blessing in disguise. Although due to the Taoist heart, there was a deviation during the ascension, and his cultivation was sealed. But he has also benefited a lot from the seal of this space avenue, and in the years to come, before absorbing these space avenues, he will definitely be able to make some profits.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Naturally, Gu Shuo couldn't refuse, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!"
The village chief shouted towards the playground: "All the disciples in the Body Tempering Realm are here."
The Body Tempering Realm disciples who were sparring with each other and those who were not sparring with each other all came running over, there were more than fifty of them, and they saluted the village chief. Some call them uncle, and some call them grandpa.
The village chief pointed at Gu Shuo with a smile and said: "Your Uncle Gu came back from the battle in Greenfield City. Today, let your Uncle Gu teach you your martial arts skills."
More than fifty children in the Body Tempering Realm...
Really children.
There was no one over fifteen years old. Gu Shuo couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was a thousand-year-old man. In the wilderness, he was a stomping giant who trembled in the wilderness. When he came to the fairy world, he became the king of children.
However, there is no resistance in my heart. These days in the village, it is rare to live a leisurely life and people get along well with each other. This is really rare and rare for Gu Shuo. kind of life. Although he could not stay in this village for long, he was happy with this idyllic life. This was also a rare experience for him on his way to find a way.
He stood up from the small bench and took out a magic weapon from the storage ring, which was a sword. There are several weapons in his storage ring, all of which were obtained from corpses. But he still likes to use the sword. He looked at these children and said:
"Come on, if you feel you have understood it, then step aside and replace yourself with someone else. You can compete with me once, so don't be in a hurry."
Many monks from other realms who were sparring also stopped and gathered around from a distance. They are also very curious about Gu Shuo. How did a casual cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm survive a battle like that in Greenfield City?
"Here I come!" A boy in his early ten years walked out of the crowd. The village chief smiled and said, "Gu Shuo, this is my little grandson. He has reached the Perfect Tempering Realm and is now feeling Qi. Please give me some guidance. he."
"good!"
Gu Shuo smiled and said, the young man stood opposite Gu Shuo and saluted Gu Shuo: "Uncle Gu, be careful."
"Um!"
The young man's eyes were sharp, because he saw that Gu Shuo did not unsheath the sword, but held it with the sheath in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart.
This uncle Gu is only in the Body Tempering Realm. Even if he is in the Perfect Body Tempering Realm, he is only at the same level as his own, yet he is so powerful. I want to show him how powerful he is.
"drink!"
The young man shouted and rushed towards Gu Shuo, stabbing forward with the sword in his hand.
With Gu Shuo's current state and martial arts skills, he has already reached the point where he can win without any moves but with one move at a time, and the long sword with a scabbard thrust out diagonally. The young man seemed to have put his wrist on the tip of Gu Shuo's sword. His expression changed involuntarily, and he hurriedly changed his moves. But no matter how he changed his moves, he couldn't use all the martial arts. He could only use half of them at most, and sometimes he could only use one-third. Then he was forced to change his moves by Gu Shuo's sheathed long sword, otherwise he would be destroyed. The wrist was offered on his own initiative.
At this time, the young man was convinced. He knew that Gu Shuo had been merciful. If he hadn't been merciful, he would have slapped his wrist long ago, even with the sword in its scabbard, and knocked his sword away. So, he calmed down and fought against Gu Shuo. From the process of Gu Shuo deciphering his own martial arts, he realized the shortcomings of his own martial arts.
The monks watching around also had their eyes flickering. Naturally, these people were not in the body tempering realm. They had golden elixir, Yuan Ying, god transformation and tribulation transcendence. The village chief is even in the Mahayana stage.
"Village Chief, Gu Shuo's martial arts has reached its peak!"
The village chief nodded, and someone else said: "I really don't know how he can understand martial arts to this extent if he is in the body tempering stage?"
The village chief thought: "It should be that he has stayed in the body tempering realm for too long. And his understanding should be good."
"That's right!"
At this moment, the young man retreated and bowed his hands in greeting: "Thank you, Uncle Gu."
Gu Shuo nodded, watched the young man retreat, and then said: "Next."
After giving guidance to more than fifty disciples in this way, the sky was already getting a little dark. Everyone dispersed. From that day on, Gu Shuo had one more responsibility every day. At the request of the village chief, he instructed the disciples in the village's Body Tempering Realm in martial arts.
There is nothing wrong with Gu Shuo, and nine days passed in a hurry.
This day.
Gu Shuo sat cross-legged on the bed with a smile in his eyes. Because the space Dao Yun in his body has entered the Dao Heart. What he has to do now is to introduce the Tao rhyme in the meridians into the Tao heart.
"call……"
Three hours later, Gu Shuo exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes. There is a smile between the eyebrows.
These three hours allowed him to introduce the space Dao rhyme in the four meridians in his body into the Dao heart. If he followed this speed, it would take just one month to open up all the meridians. Moreover, because all the spiritual power in his body was squeezed out by Space Daoyun, now that he is in the immortal world, all he has absorbed is the immortal essence. On the contrary, he does not need to transform, and he has directly become the body of immortal essence.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, Gu Shuo stood up and carried a small bench and walked towards the playground. From a distance, he saw the village sitting on the wall waving to him:
"Gu Shuo, why are you so late today?"
Gu Shuo chuckled and said, "Village Chief, I have broken through the Qi refining stage."
"Oh!" the village chief said with a smile, "This is a great event. We need to celebrate."
Gu Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no, no, I have very high qualifications and talents. Maybe I will break through again in a few days."
"Hahaha..." Brother Niu laughed and said, "Gu Shuo, you are so good at joking. If you are very talented, are you only in your Qi refining period now?"
Gu Shuo smiled and said: "My qualifications and talents are really good. The reason why my progress was slow before was because I had almost no practice. All my time and energy were spent on the alchemy weapon array. After experiencing the Battle of Green Field City, I Realizing the importance of a monk's own strength, he put down the alchemy weapon formation and worked hard to practice."
The village chief and others couldn't help but look at Gu Shuo suspiciously: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Gu Shuo must establish this impression to everyone, otherwise his cultivation will improve too quickly and cannot be explained:
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see, my breakthrough will be quick."
The village chief nodded and said: "Speaking of which, if you want to increase the speed of breakthrough, you have an opportunity recently. It's just too dangerous."
"Oh?" Gu Shuo was very interested: "What opportunity?"
"In more than ten days, the Yuhua Sect will open the mountain and accept disciples once in a century. After accepting disciples, the Xuanxu Secret Realm will be opened. The Xuanxu Secret Realm is an independent space, very large, and contains countless opportunities. Enter it, and if you find it Chance and breakthrough are not a matter at all, and continuous breakthroughs are even possible."
"Really?" Gu Shuo's eyes lit up.
"Of course it is true." The village chief looked solemn: "But there is also a huge danger."
"Is there any danger in cultivating immortality?" Gu Shuo didn't take it seriously.
The village chief said: "Don't wait, just listen to me. This Xuanxu secret realm has a realm pattern test, and only monks of the Mahayana stage and below are allowed to enter. Moreover, this Xuanxu secret realm connects all races. Every time it is opened, monks from all races will Everyone will enter. And you only have the Qi refining period..."
Needless to say, the village chief said that if Gu Shuo was really only in the Qi refining stage, he would have a narrow escape from death if he entered it. But not Gu Shuo!
He really wanted to go in and take a look. Even if he didn't find the opportunity in the end, it would broaden his horizons and find an excuse for his rapid advancement in cultivation, so he said firmly:
"Village Chief, I want to go in. I wonder what qualifications are required?"
"There are no qualifications. If you want to go, just go in with the clan members when the time comes."
"Then when will the Xuanxu Secret Realm be opened?"
"Two months later!"
Gu Shuo cupped his fists and said, "That will trouble the village chief."
"No trouble. If you want to go, I won't stop you. But it is extremely dangerous for you."
"I see!"
"Then you won't need to instruct the disciples in the body tempering stage in the village from now on. You will learn more from the disciples in the village's Qi refining stage and you will also gain some life-saving skills."
Gu Shuo wanted to wave his hand and say no, but at this time a young man had already spoken: "Uncle Gu, I am in the early stage of Qi refining stage now, and my level should be slightly higher.
As for you, how about we compare notes? "
With such kindness, Gu Shuo naturally couldn't refuse. He felt helpless but said with a smile on his face: "That's fine!"
Then……
None of the monks in the village at the early stage of Qi refining period was Gu Shuo's opponent. Gu Shuo's body was filled with space Daoyuan before. Although it expelled all the spiritual power in the body, it also expelled all the impurities in the body. Even the body without dirt, in fact, there are also deep impurities, but they were trapped by this space. Daoyun drove them away completely. Now that he has absorbed the immortal essence, the immortal essence in his body can be said to be as pure and refined as a human being can achieve.
In addition, his understanding of the way of heaven has reached the perfection of the Tongxuan realm, and he has broken through the Tongxuan realm in the Taiji Dao. How could these people be his opponents?
Then, the monks in the middle stage of Qi refining stage came up, and no one was Gu Shuo's opponent.
The later stages of the Qi Refining Stage also came up, and in the end Gu Shuo even defeated the monks who had reached the Great Perfection stage. And defeated easily. This made the village chief both surprised and worried. He called Gu Shuo over and said:
"Gu Shuo, do you really want to enter the mysterious realm of Xuanxu?"
"Yeah!" Gu Shuo nodded.
"It's too dangerous!"
Gu Shuo shook his head and said: "No matter how dangerous it is, can it be as dangerous as the Battle of Green Field City?"
"That would be better. But..." The village chief thought for a moment and said, "You can go if you want. Just remember, when entering the mysterious realm of Xuanxu, you must be careful not only of all races, but also of human monks."
"I see!"
Gu Shuo naturally understood that he was not young, he was already over a thousand years old.
The human race in the fairy world should be united in the mainstream, but if there is an opportunity, no matter how united the race is, they will fight.
There is nothing to blame.
Cultivation is all about fighting!
Fight with heaven, fight with earth, fight with people, and fight with all races.
In a hurry of ten days, the Yuhua Sect became bustling with people who had traveled thousands of miles to take their juniors to participate in the Yuhua Sect's assessment. Gu Shuo also followed to see the excitement, and then found that there was no excitement.
The rules of the Yuhua Sect are very strict. Only the disciples who take the assessment enter the Yuhua Sect, and the elders of the family who come with them all wait outside the sect. Gu Shuo mingled with these parents, chatted with them, and learned a lot of news about the fairy world. Although these messages are very low-level, Gu Shuo does not dislike them.
But on this day, after Gu Shuo returned, he stopped coming and stayed in the village with peace of mind, tending to the fairy field and practicing at the same time.
He discovered a problem. The Dao Heart can only absorb the Dao Rhythm of the space in the body and meridians. In the future, it should also be able to absorb the Dao Rhythm in the Dantian. But he was unable to absorb the Taoist charm within the sea of consciousness. The Tao Yun in the Consciousness Sea can now only be absorbed by one's own magic weapon, which is much slower.
There was nothing that could be done about it, so Gu Shuo could only practice patiently.
More than ten days have passed, and the Yuhua Sect's recruitment of disciples has ended. Wait another month and it will be time to open the mysterious realm of Xuanxu. And on this day, Gu Shuo absorbed all the space Daoyun in the last meridian into the Dao Heart.
Gu Shuo opened his eyes and looked inside his Dantian. He was also a little nervous in his heart, wondering if he could guide the space Dao rhyme in his Dantian, reverse the meridians, and then send it into the Dao heart.
I started to guide carefully, and then I felt happy. A trace of space Dao rhyme is guided out, retrogrades through the meridians, and finally is continuously sent into the Dao heart.
An hour later, Gu Shuo stopped tiredly.
His Dantian was too big, and he estimated that it would be impossible to guide all the spatial Tao Yun in his Dantian in less than half a year.
Once he pulled out all the space Dao Yun in his Dantian and sent it into the Dao Heart, his cultivation level suddenly returned to the golden elixir perfection. Once the Dao Yun in the sea of consciousness is absorbed by the magic weapon, it will instantly return to the perfection of the Mahayana stage. And he also calculated that after half a year, even if the Daoyun of the space in his consciousness sea has not been completely absorbed, there will not be much left. In other words, he would be able to completely restore his cultivation in a year at most.
