Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 120: The Poor Silly Dragon
"Poshu, your lonely grandpa is back...!"
A gentle voice echoed throughout the entire Ninth Heaven, and a young man was seen riding on a thundering blue dragon and flying in the air!
The young man had an indifferent expression, with his hands behind his back, looking down disdainfully. The Thunder Dragon opened its mouth and let out a roar that shook the sky, making the young man on the dragon head look even more heroic and majestic!
Raising his foot and stepping lightly, Shalong paused consciously. Gu Xiaoxing took a step forward, looking down at all living beings, and said lightly: "If you don't want to die, just pick the fruits from the tree yourself, don't force me to do it myself!"
“Roar...!” the thunder dragon roared with terrifying power.
Below them were endless giant thunder trees, each of which was no less than ten thousand feet tall, growing irregularly everywhere. There were no less than a thousand of them in the entire Ninth Heaven.
These thousand-foot-tall thunder trees are different from those below. They are larger in size, but produce fewer thunder cloud fruits. There is only one on each tree, hanging alone on the thunder tree!
But its quality must be better. After obtaining the method of tempering the body with thunder poison, the more Thunder Cloud Fruits the better!
Seeing that the trees were indifferent, Gu Xiaoxing became angry and snorted coldly, saying, "Since you are so ungrateful, you can't blame me...!"
As he said that, Gu Xiaoxing jumped directly off the dragon head and waved his hand.
"Silly dragon, go ahead!"
The Thundering Blue Dragon roared, the sound of the dragon's roar resounded in all directions, and it swooped down with terrifying power. When a real dragon shows its power, it is not stupid!
"This stupid dragon... is easier to fool than Ling'er...!" Gu Xiaoxing stood alone in the sky, watching Jinglong flying away with a calm look. But then, he saw a horrifying scene.
The Thunder Dragon roared and instantly descended on top of a giant thunder tree. The tree seemed to feel it, and nearly a thousand vines sprouted out at once, like a torrent of vines, which was terrifying and shocking.
But the Thunder Dragon didn't care and rushed straight into the torrent. In an instant, all the vines broke and lightning flew. The Thunder Dragon continued to crash into the tree without slowing down. There was a loud "boom" and the whole tree shook violently and then broke in the middle!
A thousand-foot-long thunder dragon smashed a ten-thousand-foot-long tree into pieces with one blow!
Above the Nine Heavens, Gu Xiaoxing was astonished. He knew that these giant thunder trees were definitely no match for Shalong. After all, Shalong had reached the perfect stage of Core Formation and had even begun to form a fetus in his body. He was about to enter the Nascent Soul stage!
However, these thunder trees are only in the middle stage of Jindan, and will not exceed the late stage of Jindan at most.
But Gu Xiaoxing could never have imagined that these thunder trees did not even have the power to resist the thunder dragon, and the gap was so huge!
The tree broke and gradually disappeared. The only thing in Silly Dragon's eyes was the shiny Thunder Cloud Fruit. He appeared in front of it with a flick of his tail and opened his mouth to swallow it...
"Cough cough...!" A coughing sound came from above.
Silly Dragon's body stiffened, and he endured it again and again before finally stopping. He held the Thunder Cloud Fruit in his mouth and returned to Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was very satisfied. He patted the dragon's head and wanted to take the Thunder Cloud Fruit. However, he felt a little disgusted when he saw the silly dragon holding it in his mouth. Although this silly dragon was transformed from thunder and he didn't know if he had saliva, it still felt awkward.
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing threw out a storage bag and said, "Since you are quite obedient, I will give you this Thunder Cloud Fruit as a reward. Go, pick all the Thunder Cloud Fruits from the trees and put them in this bag. Remember not to steal any of them. We will share them together later..."
Silly Dragon put on the storage bag excitedly and went...
"You are such a beast that you didn't even spare a dragon. Poor child...!"
Inside the body, the coffin groaned.
Gu Xiaoxing blinked and thought to himself, didn't he give out 10% of the Thunder Cloud Fruit? If it weren't for me, it wouldn't even have 10%. No matter how you look at it, it's Silly Dragon who made the profit!
Although he didn't dare to refute the coffin, he easily convinced himself.
Then, Gu Xiaoxing sat cross-legged in the void, took out the jade slip that recorded the method of tempering the body with thunder poison and began to study it. The more he read, the more frightened he became!
At first glance, this method seems to be a method of body refining, which is completely different from the method of the Body Refining Sect that uses lightning poison as a powerful medicine and combines it with a folk prescription to refine the body.
But after all, it’s all about body training!
But if you study it carefully, you will find that what is recorded in this jade slip is not a method of body refining at all, but a kind of... poison skill!
In the early stages of practicing this skill, one is indeed tempering the body with thunder poison, but over time, the body will gradually absorb and devour the thunder poison through years of contact and fusion with the thunder poison, and eventually develop a body of thunder poison!
The danger involved can be imagined. If you are not careful, you will die suddenly in the process of swallowing the lightning poison because you cannot withstand the toxicity!
Gu Xiaoxing was already cursing the old immortal in his heart for giving him such a vicious martial art!
Even if he practiced the Nine Thunder Art, a superior thunder technique, he could not guarantee that he could absorb the thunder poison without any mistakes. This is one of the ten most strange poisons in the world. How could it be easy?
Moreover, even if one eventually masters this poison skill, there are drawbacks. It will only turn one into a poisonous body. It may be very strong, but it will also be less fun!
Gu Xiaoxing became angrier and angrier as he watched, and cursed Cang Chenzi's ancestors a hundred and eighty times.
"What a lousy master! Each one is worse than the other!"
“Broken furnace tripod, don’t beg for trouble. When has my master ever cheated you?” Guan Gua was unhappy and said directly, “I’m not afraid to tell you that everything was done by Guan Ye. Come at Guan Ye if you have the guts!”
Gu Xiaoxing smiled and said nothing, thinking that he definitely wouldn’t dare to do that for the time being, but as for the future, that’s hard to say!
This time, Gu Xiaoxing hid his thoughts very well and did not reveal them to anyone. He glanced at the invincible Shalong below and had some guesses in his mind.
The only ones who can practice this poison skill without any drawbacks are the thunder spirits. They are originally transformed from thunder and can absorb and integrate the thunder poison very well. Perhaps, these thunder trees were planted by Cang Chenzi in order to raise thunder dragons and practice poison skills.
By then, not only will the Thunder Dragon's body be reborn, but he will also be able to cultivate this Thunder Poison Body without any worries, thus killing two birds with one stone!
As for what Cang Chenzi said before, Gu Xiaoxing didn't believe a single word of it. What about arrogance and failure in taking over another's body? Would a man who had been planning for thousands of years make such a mistake?
How is it possible! ?
Gu Xiaoxing had a hunch that it was very likely... that the moment Lei Long broke through the Nascent Soul stage, that would be the moment when Cang Chenzi would truly begin to take over another's body!
This made him feel sorry for Silly Dragon. From the moment he was created, his fate was already in the control of others. How sad!
But Gu Xiaoxing couldn't do anything about it. He could hardly protect himself now. No matter what Cang Chenzi was planning, his only thought now was to escape from Lei Yuntian safely!
Putting the jade slip away, Gu Xiaoxing would never practice this poisonous skill. He could fight for the person in his heart, but he would never risk his life to become stronger!
"It seems that we have to start with the Body Refining Sect..." Gu Xiaoxing murmured.
Below, the silly dragon was wandering among those thunder trees, swinging his body with an uncaring attitude, showing off his might. Wherever he passed, the trees picked the thunder cloud fruits on their own.
After the silly dragon smashed several large trees with its powerful force, the remaining trees no longer dared to resist. They were all intelligent and did not make a last-ditch struggle, but chose to be sensible trees.
In this way, he quickly collected all the thunder cloud fruits, and then appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxing with an excited look and a few swings of his tail.
Gu Xiaoxing felt a little soft-hearted when he saw its appearance. He wondered whether he should take the last ten percent of Thunder Cloud Fruit. After all, this was also for the good of the silly dragon. It would help it live a few more days, right?
If Silly Dragon eats too much of this tonic, it will only allow him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage earlier, and then be possessed by the old monster.
But in the end, Gu Xiaoxing gave up. Looking at the hungry look of the silly dragon, he knew that if he didn't give it the Thunder Cloud Fruit, it would probably swallow himself first.
After dividing over a hundred Thunder Cloud Fruits, Gu Xiaoxing still had about a thousand left. The thunder poison in this ninth-level Thunder Cloud Fruit was much more concentrated than those below. It filled the entire storage bag, forcing him to be extremely careful.
He felt that if he could extract and condense the thunder poison from so many Thunder Cloud Fruits, it might even be able to poison his Nascent Soul to death!
On the side, Silly Dragon ate dozens of them at a time, and swallowed all the Thunder Cloud Fruits in just three or two bites. He looked so satisfied that he almost flew away.
Gu Xiaoxing stepped onto the dragon head, waved his hand again, and said, "Keep going down!"
When the man and the dragon fell into the eighth heaven, Silly Dragon became excited again. Although the quality of the thunder cloud fruits in this heaven was not as good as those in the upper heaven, the quantity was far greater. However, Gu Xiaoxing tricked him into picking them later and continued to fly downwards.
When they passed through the seventh heaven and the sixth heaven again, Gu Xiaoxing finally confirmed that the Thunder Spirit really had saliva. Looking at the silly dragon with shining eyes and a drooling look, it was simply absurd. There was absolutely no dignity that a dragon should have.
Passing through a thick layer of thunderclouds again, they descended into the fifth heaven!
A thousand-mile fairy mountain surrounded by thunder appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxing. Although only a few days had passed, everything that happened on the fairy mountain gave him the illusion that a long time had passed.
Recalling the first time I entered the fifth heaven, I felt so embarrassed. Just a few days later, when I came back, I descended by stepping on a thunder dragon.
Things in this world are really unpredictable!
The reason why Gu Xiaoxing came to the fifth heaven was because he thought that since he was idle anyway, he might as well come here to devour and absorb the thunder spirits in the tower to increase his strength. He would devour as much as he could and strive to reach the Jindan stage as soon as possible!
But before that, he had other things to deal with, so he tricked Silly Dragon and continued to go down, quickly descending towards the fourth heaven!
At this moment, it has been just over a month since everyone entered the Thunder Cloud Sky. Many people who have completed their foundation building are fighting fiercely for good fortune in the Fourth Heaven!
If you were to ask which of the ten heavens in Thunder Cloud Heaven is the largest, it would undoubtedly be the fourth heaven. It is so vast that it seems endless, with continents hanging in the air, as if it is really a world!
Among the countless floating and broken continents, there is one that is about 100,000 feet in radius. It seems very large, but it is not outstanding among the countless continents.
At this moment, in the center of this ordinary continent, an extraordinary thing is happening. A cultivator in the late stage of foundation building... is breaking through!
Beside him, there were several people standing. Judging from their ferocious expressions, it was obvious... they were not the guardians!
