Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 115: Nine Heavens
When Gu Xiaoxing walked into the tower, what was recorded on it was not a thunder method that only dragons could practice, but a method of tempering the body with thunder, called Thunder Tempering Dragon Body.
It sounds powerful, but it is still useless to Gu Xiaoxing. His body has been tempered by so much thunder liquid and absorbed nearly dozens of thunder spirits. It is already extremely powerful. Now, ordinary thunder can't do anything to him.
However, he still memorized the technique.
After walking out of the tower, Gu Xiaoxing looked at the sky and suddenly said, "Master Guan, I want to learn the art of divination!"
"Are you sure? You were destined to have a miserable end, and now you're practicing this evil magic..." Although Guan Gua didn't continue talking, the words that followed were definitely not good.
"That's why I want to see Bu Tian even more. Don't you always say fight to cross the river, fight to cross the river? Since you know you won't have a good ending, why not fight for it?" Gu Xiaoxing said in a firm voice.
After a moment of silence, the coffin seemed to sigh again and said, "I'll ask the owner. She may have the ability to predict the future."
Gu Xiaoxing blinked and cursed the broken coffin in his heart. Last time it said it had the art of predicting the future, it turned out to be just bragging and deceiving him!
After waiting for a long time, Gu Xiaoxing still didn't hear the sound of the coffin, and couldn't help but asked in surprise : "Master Coffin?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Coffin Master asked in surprise.
"Okay, stop talking!" Gu Xiaoxing understood instantly that the master and servant had no divination skills at all, especially this broken coffin. If it were a human, its face would definitely be thicker than the coffin board!
"Pay attention to your attitude, don't force the coffin master to take action!"
"Haha... Master Coffin is right."
In a certain layer of the sky in the thundercloud sky, thunders intertwined like a vast ocean, with thunders stretching endlessly for dozens or hundreds of feet. In this terrifying ocean of thunder, there stood a , it was Zhang Dixin.
Zhang Dixin lowered his head and looked with a smile, as if he could see the lonely little star on Tiancang Mountain through the endless distance, through the vast sea of thunder, and through the layers of thunderclouds.
When he retracted his gaze and slowly raised his hand, a jade slip flew out.
"Cang Chenzi, a new chapter is about to begin. Soon, another Taoist friend will follow in your footsteps. Please hand this item over to Brother Youyuan for me. There may be a turn for the better..."
There are three thousand pagodas in Tiancang Mountain, and among the three thousand pagodas there are three thousand dharmas.
Although Gu Xiaoxing wanted to devour all the thunder spirits in the three thousand towers, perhaps he could enter the Jindan stage in one fell swoop, but he did not have that much time. There was only a month left before the great thunderstorm that swept across the entire Leiyuntian.
I learned from Cang Jiuding that it would be difficult to resist that thunderstorm even for a Jindan cultivator. Even though Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation had reached perfection in the foundation building stage and he had practiced the Nine Thunder Art, which greatly increased his strength, he was not a thunder spirit after all, and still had no confidence to make it through. So, he had to fight!
Gu Xiaoxing raised his head, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he took a step forward. He was already in the sky twenty miles away. One step... three thousand feet!
This kind of progress made Gu Xiaoxing very excited. He could feel that his Fang Cun magical power was close to minor success. Once he broke through to minor success, his strength would be greatly improved again!
As he took one step after another, Gu Xiaoxing flashed forward at a rapid speed, and soon approached the thunder that surrounded the entire fairy mountain. Without hesitation, he stepped into it. The next moment, endless thunder covered his whole body, but it was no problem!
After absorbing so many thunder spirits and cultivating the Nine Thunder Art to the second level and gaining initial control over thunder, Gu Xiaoxing is now a completely different person. Although the thunder surrounding the mountains is violent, he can barely withstand it.
In the spreading endless thunder, it was obviously much slower to use his Fang Cun magical power. Fortunately, it didn't take long before Gu Xiaoxing broke out of the thunder and took a big step into the sky again, heading towards the sixth heaven which even the Body Refining Sect had never reached!
Stepping into the thundercloud, although the thunder was violent, it was nothing compared to the thunder surrounding the mountain. Climbing all the way up, when finally breaking out of the thundercloud, what came into view was a giant thunder tree!
Although Gu Xiaoxing did not see the Thunder Tree that bears Thunder Cloud Fruit in the Fifth Heaven, he encountered quite a few in the Fourth Heaven. The largest ones were dozens of feet tall, but compared with what he saw before his eyes, they were so inferior!
What appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes at this moment was a giant thunder tree that was a thousand feet high. Whether it was the trunk, branches, or even the leaves, they were all flashing with lightning. However, such a huge thunder tree only had three purple-gold fruits hanging on it, which seemed a little weird.
What’s even more bizarre is that there are not only fruits hanging on this giant thunder tree, but also ancient corpses hanging on the vines!
It was obvious that the Thunder Tree regarded those ancient corpses as nutrients!
As one person broke in, the Thunder Tree seemed to sense something, and its vines suddenly grew longer and directly wrapped around Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was immediately furious. How dare a mere broken tree treat itself as nutrients? He was still hesitating whether to pick the thunder cloud fruit from the tree, but now, he had decided to pick it!
With a thought, a thunder sword suddenly condensed in his hand. Although the sword was made of thunder, its power was no less than that of a medium-level magic weapon. Combined with Gu Xiaoxing's strength and the power of thunder, it was not inferior to even a top-grade magic weapon!
He turned sideways and swung his sword. With a "swish", the thunder vines broke. He took another step forward and approached in an instant.
Suddenly, the entire Thunder Tree seemed to go wild, with countless vines piercing out at once, interweaving with thunder at an astonishing speed.
Gu Xiaoxing, however, was not afraid at all. He snorted coldly and punched out fiercely. With his magical power, the thunder vines that pierced through him were like silver needles, and Gu Xiaoxing's fist was like an iron mountain.
The result of the silver needle hitting the iron mountain is predictable. Countless vines broke and turned into debris and flew away.
Gu Xiaoxing took another step forward and appeared in front of a thunder cloud fruit. This fruit was the size of a human head and much fatter than the thunder cloud fruit in the fourth heaven. It looked like a big peach, so he picked it directly.
At this moment, the entire giant thunder tree seemed to be stimulated, and countless vines grew out in an instant, wrapping the entire space around it, and rolling in like a raging tide.
"I'm giving you face, right?" Gu Xiaoxing had been holding back a lot of anger in the broken coffin before, and now he was really angry. "In that case, I'll let you see my thousand-foot machete!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxing's expression condensed. He clasped his hands together and suddenly raised them above his head. Suddenly, lightning shot up into the sky. The lightning gathered and did not disperse, and finally formed a long lightning blade, which was actually... a thousand feet long!
Gu Xiaoxing looked coldly at the countless intertwined vines, and lowered his hands that were raised above his head without hesitation. In an instant, lightning flashed, and from top to bottom, the vines came to an abrupt stop, and the entire giant thunder tree was actually split in half by a single blow!
If other people who have completed the foundation building stage saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. This is simply not the combat power of the foundation building stage!
"Humph, a mere broken tree dares to challenge me, Gu Xiaoxing!"
The lightning blade in Gu Xiaoxing's hand dissipated, and he waved his sleeves disdainfully, walked forward to pick the remaining thunder cloud fruits, and then saw the thunder tree slowly dissipating.
To a certain extent, this big tree is actually a kind of thunder spirit, but its existence in the form of a plant is relatively special. It condenses into a physical entity and grows just like a real tree. Once it dies, it is dead. It is not like other thunder spirits, which can reunite even if their thunder bodies are broken.
Therefore, Gu Xiaoxing's soul-devouring magical power was unable to absorb these giant thunder trees.
After the giant thunder tree dissipated, only those scattered floating ancient corpses were left. Originally, Gu Xiaoxing thought that since the people from the Sixth Level Body Refining Sect had never been here, there would be some good stuff.
But when he saw the ancient corpses that had been sucked dry after death, and the huge trees in the distance, he was immediately speechless.
People from the Body Refining Sect had never been here, but the Sixth Heaven had long been sucked dry by these huge trees. Even the remaining treasures worn by the ancient corpses had been sucked dry of all their spirituality.
hateful!
And at the top of the sixth heaven, there is still a layer of thunderclouds, so there should be a seventh heaven!
Although he didn't know how many levels there were in the Thunder Cloud Sky, but from what Guan Gu said, the Cang Chenzi he was looking for was in the top level!
As for why he wanted to find Cang Chenzi, Gu Xiaoxing also asked the coffin. The coffin master just said that he would know when he got there. This was the only way to survive!
In this case, Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to move forward. He didn't want to waste time and went straight to the seventh heaven!
When Gu Xiaoxing rushed out of the thunderclouds and entered the seventh heaven, he saw big trees again, but they were bigger than the ones below, at least two thousand feet high!
This time, he also felt pressure. Those giant thunder trees were obviously much stronger than those below, so he became much more obedient and moved upwards quietly.
By the time Gu Xiaoxing reached the eighth heaven, his scalp had already begun to feel numb. There were still giant thunder trees, and each one was at least three thousand feet tall. The aura was so great that people had no desire to provoke them.
Gu Xiaoxing almost avoided those giant trees and went up. He no longer had the arrogance as before. He just prayed silently in his heart, hoping that there would be no more giant thunder trees like this in the Ninth Heaven. If it continued like this endlessly, when would it end?
But things often go against one's wishes. When Gu Xiaoxing rushed into the ninth heaven from the thundercloud, what appeared before his eyes was still a tree, but there was a difference. This giant thunder tree was no longer a thousand feet high, but directly rose to ten thousand feet!
That terrifying aura made Gu Xiaoxing tremble with fear. That was definitely the cultivation level of at least the middle stage of the Jindan period. It was already difficult for him to fight against an early stage of the Jindan period, so facing a middle stage of the Jindan period, he had absolutely no chance of winning!
"Master Coffin, please help me get over there!" Gu Xiaoxing began to ask for help. He felt that he could not get through this level!
"I've said it before, this trip is a life-and-death test. If I take action, you don't have to go up. Just go out and find Mo Nuwa to die." The coffin said lightly.
"Test? What test?" Gu Xiaoxing wondered.
"My master has made an agreement with the person above. If you can walk up there alone and stand in front of him, he will grant you the opportunity to become his disciple!" said the coffin.
