Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 956: Stepping into the Future
When there is heavy fog, people often cannot see the road ahead clearly and dare not rush forward boldly.
The same goes for spiritual practice. Even at the Qi Condensation stage, it is not enough to just have a large number of spirit stones. You must first have a method, and then you can use the spirit stones to practice according to the method!
Spiritual stones are like motivation, but motivation alone is not enough, a clear path is also needed.
And the technique is this path!
Of course, this is not absolute. There are always a very small number of geniuses who can transcend worldly common sense.
When one reaches Gu Xiaoxing's level, it doesn't really matter whether one has mastered the skills or not, but the principle is the same.
If you can't see the way forward clearly, even if you have a large number of treasures such as ancient elixirs to assist in your practice, it will only be a waste of resources!
Just like in the ancient times, he had the help of the other five ancient masters, and also had the ancient elixirs to assist in his practice, but why was it that in the end, he didn't even step into the middle stage of the Great Free and Easy Realm?
It’s not because Huanggu’s talent is not enough. As the former number one cultivator in Huang Fuchen, he was able to become the first cultivator to step into the fifth ancient realm through continuous exploration without any guidance. His talent for cultivation is absolutely terrifying!
But it was because his cultivation system was incomplete, and because he could not see the way forward clearly, he was always groping forward, which resulted in his progress becoming slower and slower after he entered the fifth ancient realm!
But Gu Xiaoxing is different. He has transformed his true body through the external path created by his master, walked a new divine path, and completed the four ancient realms!
Afterwards, he used the new divine path as a foundation to forge his own path of freedom. After Yang Shang's advice, the fog on his path of freedom gradually dissipated!
Until he gathers all his life's insights, he finally gains something and all the fog is finally dispelled!
No matter how long this free and easy road is, for him, it is only ten steps.
Hence it is called, Ten Steps of Freedom!
At this point, Gu Xiaoxing's future is extremely clear, and he can finally move forward without any worries!
Ninety-four thousand ancient immortal pills caused ninety-four thousand huge explosions and ninety-four thousand reorganizations in Gu Xiaoxing's body!
During these 94,000 reorganizations, countless evolutions occurred!
And these countless evolutions lasted for billions of years!
But these billions of years took place in the inner world of the lonely little star. As for the real world, only... one year had passed!
The master of birth and death can already create a small world of his own, let alone the state of great freedom and attainment of the true self.
A cultivator in the Great Free and Easy Realm is already at the same level as the Dao Universe. He is not bound by any constraints and can even contain a small Dao Universe within him, giving rise to countless small worlds!
However, it is not something that an ordinary cultivator in the Great Free and Easy Realm can do, for example, Gu Xiaoxing, who made the world inside his body evolve for billions of years within just one year in the outside world!
And in this short period of one year, the solitary little star sitting in the void seems to be silent as usual, but in fact, it has completed an essential transformation through billions of years of derivative changes!
The moment he opened his eyes, the change began to radiate from the inside out, extending endlessly along the Tao!
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire floating dust world could no longer bear the weight of the lonely little star and was trembling!
Even in Daoyu, time and space collapse occurred one after another. It seemed that if Gu Xiaoxing continued to emit his breath and release his own weight, the entire Daoyu would collapse!
But Gu Xiaoxing obviously did not have this intention. As he slowly stood up from his cross-legged sitting position, all the emanating aura was restrained!
Including his own weight, it no longer acts on Dao Yu and is borne by this space.
This piece of space can no longer fully bear the weight of Gu Xiaoxing, so he can only take care of himself!
Since there were no more obstacles on the path of cultivation, Gu Xiaoxing was already aware of all the changes in himself after just a slight feeling!
His current state is unprecedented, and it can be said that he has taken another big step on the road to freedom!
The changes that these 94,000 ancient elixirs brought to Gu Xiaoxing were definitely the most astonishing ones since he started practicing!
With a slight turn of his eyes, Gu Xiaoxing looked towards a secluded medicine garden in the Fuchen Realm.
There, the sun is shining brightly, spring is in the air and flowers are blooming. It seems out of place in the entire mortal world, as if it is isolated from the world.
Under the scorching sun, Wangcai was still picking herbs, Lu Linger was already refining pills, and Mo Xuyou was lying in a bush of flowers with a butterfly flying around her.
After this glance, Gu Xiaoxing withdrew his gaze and turned to look... above time!
"Fuchentian, you can't escape!"
As the cold words fell, Gu Xiaoxing also took a step forward!
Suddenly, the time around him changed, like fleeting light and shadows, as if he was constantly flying up!
When everything became clear, Gu Xiaoxing was still in the center of the Floating Dust World, and his position had not changed at all.
But where he was, was already in the future!
This step spans across thousands of years into the future!
At the same time, this is also the first step of Gu Xiaoxing's Ten-Step Freedom Method!
Without any hesitation, he took the second step of freedom and crossed over 100,000 years into the future!
Then came the third step of Xiaoyao, spanning millions of years into the future!
All the way to the fourth step of Xiaoyao, spanning tens of millions of years into the future!
It was also at this time that Gu Xiaoxing had his first pause, because before that he was at the fourth step of freedom.
Therefore, he could only take four steps out of the Ten-Step Freedom Technique!
But now, after experiencing a transformation, he has far surpassed his previous self. After a slight pause, he raised his foot again and took his... Fifth Step of Freedom!
This step spans billions of years into the future!
This also means that Gu Xiaoxing has entered the fifth step of the free and easy realm!
And it’s not the early stage!
This infinite evolution of the great ways, under the unscrupulous impact of Gu Xiaoxing, directly pushed him to the peak realm of the Five Steps of Freedom!
And this fifth step also successfully sent Gu Xiaoxing to the front of that huge tide!
This tidal catastrophe includes everything within sight. Only by standing in front of it can you feel how vast it is!
Wherever the tide passes, everything returns to its essence, without any form and nothing can escape!
According to the Three Wastelands Turtle, this tidal catastrophe began in the Three Wastelands, which is the First Wasteland!
Then, it will spread along the long river of time and space, from the Second Wasteland to the Seventh Wasteland, affecting everything in the universe!
But it is unavoidable within the long river of time and space!
This is the catastrophe of origin of the entire universe!
Hence, there is the saying “One year, one tide, one reincarnation”!
Moreover, after each tide, the long river of time and space becomes stronger.
When the long river of time and space has experienced tides again and again, one day, the Eighth Wasteland will be born!
But this is of no importance to Gu Xiaoxing, his purpose of coming here is very clear!
However, before this tide, there was no trace of Fu Chentian, because he was no longer in this inch of future time, but had stepped into a deeper future, into the tide!
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath, and also moved forward towards the future, and then let the tide swallow him up!
