Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 93: Divine Power Devouring Souls
Gu Xiaoxing never imagined that the things he had obtained from a group of Qi Condensation Level 7 or 8 cultivators in the Black Wood Forest would be part of a top-grade spiritual treasure.
Now that I have the rod and the hook, if I can find the line, wouldn't I be able to put together a complete top-grade spiritual treasure?
"Master Coffin, even if we really gather them all together, the spirit of the weapon is gone. Can it still be considered a top-grade spiritual treasure?" Gu Xiaoxing was curious.
"It will definitely be less powerful. Without a weapon spirit, it depends on how much power the rod holder can bring out..." Guan Gua paused for a moment, and then immediately sneered, "But then again, do you think top-grade spiritual treasures are dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground? You can just pick them up when you want? It's a great blessing to be able to get a rod and a hook together, and you still want to get a whole spiritual treasure..."
Gu Xiaoxing was too lazy to listen to the end, and withdrew directly from the body, just like a broken coffin, and came to the edge of the thunder pool, muttering: "I have the rod and the hook, as for the line..."
He had an idea in his mind and a pitch-black soul-binding rope rushed out of his body, one end was wrapped around the fishhook and the other end was connected to the fishing rod. At the moment they were connected, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly felt that the rod in his hand suddenly became heavy, and he felt as if he could not lift it.
The soul-eating insect in the Niwan Palace trembled, and his cultivation was running at full strength, but it was still very heavy. It was not until the green smoke energy also started to run at the same time that he felt the pole in his hand suddenly become lighter, as if it had surrendered and allowed himself to be controlled.
Gu Xiaoxing raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't need any bait or casting rod. With a thought, the hook cut through the air and dragged the soul-binding rope into the thunder pool at an indescribable speed.
The little girl at the side was immediately stunned by this scene, because the speed of the hook was so fast that she didn't even see it clearly before it sank into the body-tempering thunder liquid in the pool. The next moment, in her excited eyes, she saw the thunder fish in the pool soaring into the sky, with a shining big hook behind it.
It is hard to imagine that, although it is clearly a big fish transformed from thunder, there is a look of fear in the eyes of the fish at this moment. Its speed is extremely fast. Often, with a flick of its tail, it turns into a flash of lightning and escapes into the distance. However, the speed of the big fish hook following behind it is not slower at all. It is a life-threatening hook that will chase you relentlessly!
The next moment, the big fish suddenly spotted Gu Xiaoxing sitting in his hand. It immediately became angry, realizing that someone was trying to catch it. It glared at him, swung its tail, and headed straight out of the thunder pool.
"You stinky fish, you still dare to glare at me?" Gu Xiaoxing glared back without showing any weakness, and shouted, "Hook, hit the fish! "
As soon as the words fell, the hook accelerated suddenly, surpassing the lightning in an instant. At the moment when the big fish was about to rush out of the thunder pool, the hook sank into its body. Countless barbs protruded instantly, giving the big fish a chill. Those barbs were longer than before, and seemed to have a kind of magical power, which made the Thunder Fish's body come to an abrupt stop, as if it was locked, completely unable to move, only a pair of fish eyes were still spinning.
"Wow...!" Lu Linger jumped up excitedly, "Little brother is so awesome!"
Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand proudly, stood up, lifted the rod suddenly, and dragged the big fish out of the thunder pool and brought it to his front. The thunder fish, which had been extremely ferocious before, had completely lost its power at this moment.
"I have the sky in my hand, and you are just a stinky fish, do you think you can turn the world upside down?" Gu Xiaoxing glanced at the fish under his feet with disdain, thinking that it was no different from an ordinary fish that was caught.
If you have to find any difference, apart from the body made of thunder, there are those piercing eyes. The big fish's smart eyes are full of anger at this moment. If eyes could kill, it would have already killed with bloodshot eyes.
Gu Xiaoxing was furious. It was the first time he had seen such an arrogant fish. It was already meat on the chopping board, but it still dared to glare at him. It was simply unbearable!
But faced with a huge thunder fish without flesh and blood, Gu Xiaoxing became distressed again. Can't eat it?
At this moment, the Soul Devouring Insect between his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he immediately realized something. I can't eat it? Soul Devouring Insects can't be eaten?
Gu Xiaoxing once asked Coffin Master what the difference was between building the Dao Fetus and the Dao Foundation, and Coffin Master only said four words.
"My innate magical power!"
Every Dao fetus that has established its foundation can give birth to a unique innate magical power, and Gu Xiaoxing's innate magical power was named by himself...
Mystical power...Soul Devouring!
As soon as he thought of it, the Soul-Eating Insect flashed with golden light and rushed out of the Niwan Palace and landed on the head of the Thunder Fish.
When the big fish saw the soul-eating insect appear, the anger in its eyes turned into surprise and suspicion, as if it felt a throbbing from the insect.
The next moment, the nine Taoist characters on the Soul-Eating Insect's body suddenly lit up, and then it moved closer to the big fish. Then, a suction force appeared. This suction force was not strong to the outside, but for the big fish, it was inexplicably irresistible. Then, in fear, it seemed to fall into the abyss and fell into darkness.
In Gu Xiaoxing's sight, the Soul-Eating Bug absorbed the Thunder Fish in one gulp as nine Taoist texts flashed, leaving behind only a gleaming large hook full of barbs.
The soul-eating insect seemed to be full, and flew back to the Niwan Palace of Gu Xiaoxing to digest the food on its own.
This is the Soul Devourer, devouring all spirits and turning them into its own use. Once the Thunder Fish is completely digested, Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation will definitely be elevated to another level!
"Ling'er, why don't you go and get that body-tempering spiritual liquid!" Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand and spoke indifferently.
The cute little Ling'er fell for it, and obediently took out the red silk umbrella and rushed into the thunder pool in admiration. Although the electric grid in the thunder pool was dense, its power was much weaker than that of a thunderstorm, and it was completely unable to do anything to the little girl holding a top-grade magic weapon.
When the little girl presented a storage bag to Gu Xiaoxing again like offering a treasure, Gu Xiaoxing rubbed her little head in appreciation, and then looked at the storage bag. There were more than 200,000 drops of body-tempering thunder liquid, which was probably worth more than 200,000 high-quality spirit stones. It was a considerable harvest. Whether he sold it or kept it for his own use, it would be very good.
Of course, Gu Xiaoxing would rather use it himself. He patted the medium-level magic weapon inner armor on his body, feeling full of security. After experiencing this battle, he no longer had any regrets about buying those magic weapons. Money should be spent on the right things. Otherwise, what's the use of having so many spirit stones?
Then, the two began to wander around the third floor. They met many people on the way. Everyone was looking for their own fortune. No one came to cheat them like Mo Chongtian did. Of course, they never encountered a great fortune like Lei Chi again!
Although entering the third level requires the cultivation of the late foundation building stage, it must have been plundered almost completely over the countless years. Even if there was some great fortune, it would be an extremely dangerous place like the Thunder Pool, and they would keep it because their Body Refining Sect could not take it.
Gu Xiaoxing guessed that the real place of good fortune was definitely not the third heaven, or even the fourth heaven, but the fifth heaven, and the sixth heaven that their Body Refining Sect had never reached and did not know whether it existed!
But at the same time, Gu Xiaoxing understood better that great fortune also comes with great crisis. He would not die if he did not get the great fortune, and he felt that there was no need to put himself in such a dangerous situation. If he was not careful, he might not only fail to get the fortune, but even lose himself.
No need!
Gu Xiaoxing warned himself fiercely and completely extinguished the expectation that had risen in his heart. He just kept searching in the third heaven, not only looking for good fortune, but also looking for the Heavenly Thunder Blood Crystal. But what made him speechless was that even though the thunder in the third heaven was so violent and those floating corpses looked obviously much more powerful than those below, no Heavenly Thunder Blood Crystal was formed.
At this moment, crackling sounds of thunder and lightning rang out, and a small thunderstorm suddenly descended in front of them. Gu Xiaoxing and Lu Linger's faces changed drastically at the same time, especially Gu Xiaoxing. He cursed Zhang Dixin a thousand times in his heart, and without even looking at him, he pulled the little girl straight into the sky, exerting his Fang Cun magical power to the extreme, vowing to stay away from the disaster star and go directly to the fourth heaven.
However, this time it was really just a coincidence that we encountered a naturally formed thunderstorm, not Zhang Dixin...!
“A-choo…!”
In the fourth heaven, Zhang Dixin suddenly sneezed, then counted with his fingers and immediately frowned.
"Who cursed me?"
As he pinched his fingers, several more bolts of lightning struck down, but compared to the terrifying sea of lightning surrounding him, these bolts of lightning were nothing...
"Damn it! What's wrong with Lei Yuntian today?" In the distance of the sea of thunder, a man who had completed his foundation building cultivation spoke in surprise.
This person was from the Body Refining Sect. This was not the first time for him to enter the Thunder Cloud Sky, and he had seen small thunderstorms more than once, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange thunderstorm. Most small thunderstorms would last for a while before dissipating on their own.
But the thunderstorm that appeared before his eyes at this moment not only gathered but also continued to increase in power and range, and even... moved!
This is so horrible!
Watching the thunderstorm that had turned into a sea of thunder moving towards the distance and gradually disappearing from sight, the cultivator from the Body Refining Sect was filled with fear. Fortunately, the thundercloud was big enough, but if it was allowed to spread like this, no one knew what would happen. For a moment, he had a bad premonition in his heart, always feeling that something big was going to happen!
Gu Xiaoxing and Lu Ling'er were traveling through thick clouds at this moment. Lightning flashed around them from time to time. The two of them dodged immediately. If they did not have the strength to build a perfect foundation, it would be really difficult to pass through such dense lightning. Even if the foundation was built perfectly, they could not relax at all, otherwise they would be struck down mercilessly by the thunder.
Finally, Lu Linger seemed to be tired of hiding, so she took out the red silk umbrella and deflected the incoming lightning. As long as she was not in a thunderstorm where she was struck by lightning from several directions at the same time, the red silk umbrella was still very useful!
When the two rushed out of the clouds, the scene that emerged before their eyes was different from the three heavens below. Above their heads, there was a dark piece of land. When they looked again, they found that it was not just above their heads. In this fourth heaven, there were actually countless pieces of broken land floating. These lands were of different sizes, like floating islands, spreading endlessly.
