Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 117: Tortoise Shell Transformed into Thunder Gallbladder
The space inside this storage ring is very large, much larger than his storage ring, but that’s all.
Strictly speaking, this can no longer be considered a spiritual treasure. After years of erosion by thunder, even with the soul of a white ape sitting in it, its divinity has still declined a lot. At most, it can be considered a top-grade storage magic weapon.
However, although the space inside was large, there were few things, even pitifully few, which made Gu Xiaoxing feel like he had worked in vain.
But how could Gu Xiaoxing know that the white ape had died in a shocking battle, and all the treasures that could be used had already been used in that battle.
As for the remaining treasures and spirit stones in the ring, they were also used by the white ape to nourish his soul. Otherwise, in this thundercloud sky with such strong thunder power, even if he was a remnant soul in the early stage of transformation, it would be impossible for him to remain dormant in a spirit treasure for thousands of years without dissipating!
Gu Xiaoxingzi looked through it carefully, and suddenly found a pitch-black... tortoise shell fragment among a pile of broken treasures that had lost their spirituality!
Immediately, his heart skipped a beat and he recalled bad memories. He also had a piece of this tortoise shell fragment in his own storage ring!
It was the fragment of tortoise shell that once transformed into the phantom of a three-legged turtle!
However, the tortoise shell fragment in the ring is different from the one he got in the Foundation Building Mountain. It’s not that the style is different. They both look pitch black and have similar shapes. The difference is that there are some strange words on this tortoise shell fragment!
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but think again of the records in the books about those tortoise shell fragments left over from ancient times that were engraved with ancient secrets and magical powers. He really wanted to take them out and have a look, but his experience with the three-legged turtle last time made him hesitate.
Until, when his spiritual sense swept over and felt the tortoise shell fragment begin to tremble slightly, he immediately became like a frightened cat, his bones chilled and his hair stood on end, and his spiritual sense instantly retreated and left the ring.
It's not that Gu Xiaoxing is timid. Even though he has now reached the perfection of foundation building, he still feels scared when he thinks of the three-legged turtle's phantom.
"After the pill is formed... take it out and let's see it!"
Gu Xiaoxing felt that if the three-legged turtle went crazy, he might not be able to withstand it now. He couldn't help but wonder again, what exactly are the "three sorrows" that the three-legged turtle was talking about, that could make an existence that had been dead for countless years still hold a grudge after eternity.
At the same time, he also guessed that this was most likely the tortoise shell fragment with ancient magical powers recorded in the books. It was just that the ancient magical powers on the tortoise shell fragment obtained in the Foundation Building Mountain had been learned by someone, so the engraved words disappeared. But the one obtained now was complete!
I just don’t know what kind of ancient method or magical power is recorded above?
Back to the point, when Gu Xiaoxing searched through all his belongings and still couldn't find a way to deal with the Thunder Tree, he finally said with a ferocious look, "Broken tree, you forced me to do this, you forced me to do this!"
After he finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged. From his memory, a thunder technique that made him feel ashamed emerged in his mind. He once said that he would never learn this thunder technique even if he died...
Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor!
This is a thunder method that only a few humans can practice among the three thousand thunder methods in Tiancang Mountain. It is also a thunder method that takes an extreme approach!
Thunder is one of the most violent energies in the world. Its offensive power is extremely outstanding, but relatively speaking, it has almost no defensive ability. However, this thunder technique called Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor uses violent thunder for defense, and its strength is extremely extraordinary as Gu Xiaoxing has also tested it on the old turtle!
In fact, when Gu Xiaoxing cultivated the Nine Thunder Art to the second level, with his current control over thunder, he could create a layer of tortoise shell to cover his body with a wave of his hand. However, this tortoise shell created by thunder did not have much defensive power, let alone compared with the Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor.
You know, the Sky Fishing Hook can even chill the Thunder Giant Cang Jiuding to the heart, but it can’t penetrate the old turtle’s shell!
From this we can see that this thunder method can be said to be against the will of heaven!
The key to practicing this thunder method is not too complicated. It is to use the thunder element to condense extremely tiny thunder element crystals in the body, and then arrange these thunder element crystals in a certain way.
Finally, all these lightning crystals are connected with the violent power of thunder, making them become a whole in an instant, thus achieving an incredible defensive power.
It seems simple, but there are actually many difficulties involved!
Take the Thunder Essence for example. Ordinary Thunder Cultivators don't have any Thunder Essence. Most of them are based in Dantian and constantly accumulate the power of thunder. Not to mention condensing Thunder Essence crystals later. This not only requires extremely strong control over thunder, but also requires one's own Thunder Essence to be huge and pure!
And finally, arranging these lightning crystals in a special way instantly requires an extremely powerful soul!
It just so happens that Gu Xiaoxing has everything!
As the lightning flower between the eyebrows continued to flash, countless extremely tiny lightning crystals continued to condense. The more lightning crystals there were, the stronger the Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor that was formed in the end would naturally be.
The next day, when Gu Xiaoxing opened his eyes, he found that his Niwan Palace was not only guarded by soul-eating insects, but also surrounded by endless thunder. But now, there were even more countless blue starlights, and each beacon of starlight was a thunder element crystal!
With a thought, those lightning crystals flew out of his body in an instant, surrounded his body, and were arranged according to the method recorded in the Thunder Method. Then the power of thunder surged, instantly connecting all the lightning crystals together. Finally, a complete tortoise shell emerged, completely covering Gu Xiaoxing!
Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor, done!
After trying it, I found that its defensive power is not inferior to that of the best magic weapons. This can no longer be said to be amazing, it should be said to be terrifying!
But Gu Xiaoxing was very dissatisfied. He felt that the tortoise shell was ugly no matter how he looked at it. It was totally inconsistent with his temperament. He was hiding inside it like a tortoise, and it was shining so brightly as if he was afraid that others would not know.
More importantly, he discovered that he couldn't move quickly when performing this method. He could only walk slowly at best. Otherwise, the arrangement structure of those lightning element crystals would become unstable, causing the tortoise shell to collapse!
And this slow walking, without being able to use the Fangcun magical power or any other magic, can only walk slowly like an old turtle, which makes Gu Xiaoxing speechless.
This would not allow him to successfully get through the obstruction of those big trees!
Finally, the tortoise shell dissipated, but Gu Xiaoxing did not get up. He felt that it was not enough, and then began to make various attempts. He used the arrangement of the thunder crystals recorded in the Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor thunder technique as a reference, and he manipulated the thunder crystals to try various arrangements!
One hour...
Two hours...
It was not until the fifth hour had passed that ecstasy finally showed in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes. In front of him, a thunder... a long needle appeared!
This long needle was not condensed by him using the Nine Thunder Art, but was formed by using Thunder Yuan crystals in a certain arrangement. Just like the Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor, it was extremely hard!
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing showed a relieved smile, but as he smiled, his smile gradually changed and became... sinister!
After another hour of trying, when he stood up and looked at the Thunder Tree above, his smile had become completely evil. Finally, he waved his hand and muttered, "I have to change the name of this method. This way, it can no longer be considered the Turtle Spirit Thunder Armor, and it doesn't count as a violation of the original oath!"
Gu Xiaoxing successfully convinced himself and developed a kind of admiration for himself, thinking that he could be ranked alongside the two seniors, Wolong and Fengchu, and be called one of the three great geniuses in the world of cultivation!
He raised his head, took a step forward, and instantly rose three thousand feet. He shouted in a cold voice, "Po Shu, your grandpa Gu is back again!"
In an instant, the Thunder Tree seemed to understand Gu Xiaoxing's words and was stimulated. Hundreds of vines snaked up, flashing with lightning, like countless thunder tentacles, and stabbed forward in an instant.
But this time, Gu Xiaoxing did not dodge or evade. With a wave of his hand, a thunder tortoise shell completely covered him. This tortoise shell was different from the previous one. There were countless long needles on it, not only on the top of the shell, but also on the bottom. At first glance, it no longer looked like a tortoise shell, but more like a hedgehog!
The vines arrived in an instant and pierced the "hedgehog". Thorns confronted each other. Compared with the vines, the long thunder needles on the tortoise shell were obviously much thinner, but just as hard. When the vines pierced him, it pierced several holes in his head instead, and he pulled back as if he was electrocuted!
The other vines stopped one after another and no longer stabbed forward. Apparently, even the Thunder Tree felt pain!
When Gu Xiaoxing saw this scene, he immediately sneered and mocked loudly: "Weren't you very capable just now? Come on, hit me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, countless vines began to tremble, seemingly very angry.
But Gu Xiaoxing was even more proud. He said proudly: "I have decided. This method is called Thunder Courage. If you have the guts... then hit me!"
The vines trembled even more violently, and it seemed that the entire Thunder Tree began to tremble.
However, Gu Xiaoxing didn't care. He waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "You are just a broken tree. If you don't have the courage, just get out of the way. Don't stop your grandpa Gu from going to heaven!"
Seeing that the vines were floating in the air without any movement, Gu Xiaoxing wanted to continue to mock them to vent all the bad feelings he had suffered before, but suddenly, he saw the big tree shaking violently, and all the vines intertwined, and hundreds and thousands of vines condensed into an extremely huge fist, which smashed down in an instant.
Gu Xiaoxing's pupils shrank and he turned pale with horror, realizing that he had gone too far. He quickly withdrew his Thunder Gallbladder, used the Fang Cun Step to the extreme, and tried his best to escape into the air!
step……
Three steps...
Gu Xiaoxing had taken five steps in an instant, but the giant vine was just as fast, chasing him closely from below, even faster than his Fang Cun magical power. Finally, when he took the seventh step, the giant fist approached!
Without hesitation, he used the Thunder Gallbladder Technique again, and countless long needles protruded from the tortoise shell. However, the Thunder Tree was obviously very angry, and regardless of anything, it punched directly at him.
Bang……!
In the violent impact, Gu Xiaoxing spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was blasted straight up. Looking at the thunder gall that completely covered him, he found that it was blasted with countless fine cracks by this punch!
However, the vines were not feeling well either. Countless holes were pierced into his fist , and he was in so much pain that he couldn't clench his fist. It turned into countless vines and instantly dispersed.
It is conceivable how angry the tree is. Although this punch is terrifying, it is also a move that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts oneself by eight hundred!
Gu Xiaoxing cursed in his heart that this was a crazy tree, and quickly took advantage of the impact force to display his magical power again, and finally escaped from the blocking range of the first Thunder Tree!
And above him, there are four more...
But after that, Gu Xiaoxing no longer dared to be arrogant. Those thunder trees seemed to have real intelligence. Seeing that the vines could not pierce them and would only cause them pain, they let him go up.
Gu Xiaoxing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed the broken coffin in his heart. He felt that he must have learned this bad habit of being talkative from the broken coffin!
This is very bad, it’s easy to get beaten, we need to change it!
"You...are very good!" said the Coffin Master.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically. He cursed himself for being so stupid as to accidentally speak out his thoughts inside his body, and immediately made an excuse.
"Master Coffin, please listen to my explanation...ah!"
Under the thunderclouds heading towards the tenth heaven, there were bursts of shrill screams...
