Cultivation-Five-Star High-rank God

Bartholomew was still wondering what he could do to persuade Gu Ding, but to his surprise, Gu Ding readily agreed to help him take revenge.

"Since you're so straightforward, I'll be straightforward too!" Bartholomew said, pointing a finger at Gu Ding's forehead. A massive amount of information flooded into Gu Ding's mind, and Sea Emperor quickly helped Gu Ding organize and categorize his memories.

About three minutes later, Bartholomew's fingers finally left Gu Ding's forehead.

Gu Ding, however, remained standing with his eyes closed for a long time before opening them and smiling at Bartholomew, saying, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"No need to thank me. I have nothing left to offer but my inheritance. Although this inheritance represents my life's work, it will eventually need a suitable successor. Your temperament and talent make you the perfect choice." Bartholomew was very satisfied with Gu Ding. "Besides, asking you to help me take revenge was already an unreasonable request. If you have any other needs, just say so."

"Gu Ding, have him help you extract the Life Fire from the Crimson Flame Demon Tree!" the Sea Emperor hurriedly shouted.

Gu Ding paused for a moment before speaking to Bartholomew, "Uncle, I have a Crimson Flame Demon Tree. I need you to help me extract the Life Fire from it."

"That's easy, leave it to me!" Bartholomew readily agreed.

Gu Ding then picked the remaining fruits from the demon tree and took the demon tree out of his Storage Space.

Upon seeing the demonic tree, Bartholomew was visibly taken aback. "Eighth Sequence True God- level Crimson Flame Demon Tree? This will probably take some time. You can use this time to organize the Inheritance Memory I gave you."

Gu Ding nodded, then casually took out the Time Acceleration Cabin and stepped inside. Bartholomew was a Celestial-level powerhouse who didn't even covet spiritual objects, so naturally he wouldn't covet a Pseudo Spiritual Object. Precisely because of this, Gu Ding didn't care that the other party saw the existence of the Time Acceleration Cabin.

Bartholomew only glanced at the Time Acceleration Cabin before turning his attention back to tinkering with the Crimson Flame Demon Tree.

Sitting cross-legged in the Time Acceleration Cabin, Gu Ding examined the additional portion of the inheritance in his mind one by one. Bartholomew truly lived up to his reputation as a god-level powerhouse. His Inheritance Memory had completely broadened Gu Ding's horizons.

"So it turns out that the Celestial Gods are the same as the True Gods. They are also divided into ten sequences, and the blood color in the body of each sequence is different..."

"It turns out that the Basic Plane is a type of lower plane, merely an appendage of the Higher Plane..."

"Above the gods, there are even legendary Main God Level, powerful beings who are overlords in Higher Plane..."

After reading through all that eye-opening information, Gu Ding finally turned his attention to Bartholomew's techniques.

After reviewing numerous cultivation techniques, Gu Ding ultimately chose two to practice: the "Soul Dao Truth" and the "Great Wilderness Martial Scripture," both of which originated from Higher Plane.

"The Soul Dao Truth" is a cultivation method for the soul, while "The Great Wilderness Martial Scripture" is a powerful martial art that can enhance the Martial Dao Intent.

As for body-refining techniques, Gu Ding already has the "Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body" and there is no need to change them for the time being.

Gu Ding first picked up "The Soul Dao Truth". Although it lacked soul-related repair resources and could not improve soul strength, "The Soul Dao Truth" contained many ways and techniques for using soul power.

Inside the Time Acceleration Cabin, days passed. While Gu Ding's soul didn't grow stronger, it became much more refined and well-rounded. He had mastered basic soul attack and defense techniques, verifying them against the information the Sea Emperor had given him, thus elevating his abilities to a higher level. However, his soul remained at the level of One-Star Half-Step True God. Therefore, he couldn't delve deeper into more profound techniques.

After putting down "The Soul Dao Truth", Gu Ding began cultivating "The Great Wilderness Martial Scripture".

The Great Wilderness Martial Scripture contained far more systematic moves than the miscellaneous things Gu Ding had learned before. In just a few days, Gu Ding systematically organized all the things he had learned before.

Soon, several more days passed, and Gu Ding's Martial Dao Intent, which was originally at the initial stage of the Enlightenment Realm, unexpectedly broke through and reached the Lesser Completion of the Enlightenment Realm.

Although his Martial Dao Intent has improved, with Gu Ding's current divine source strength, he can't even execute the first move of the "Great Wilderness Martial Scripture." This is because the entry point for this technique requires a divine source strength reaching the True God level.

Due to the limitations of his cultivation level, Gu Ding's overall strength only improved slightly. To achieve another significant increase, he would have to wait until his cultivation level broke through to the High-rank God.

For Gu Ding, breaking through a major cultivation level was a hundred times more difficult than for other experts of the same level, requiring a massive amount of energy to break the Gene Shackles within his body. However, Gu Ding hadn't forgotten that he still had a drop of True Blood in his Storage Space.

In the past, Gu Ding would never have dared to absorb this drop of True Blood, because the terrifying energy it contained would definitely burst his physical body. But now, with his Combat Strength at full strength, Gu Ding's physical strength has reached the level of Second Sequence true god, and absorbing the True Blood of First Sequence true god is enough for him.

Gu Ding took out the small sun-like red True Blood from his Storage Space, and he became somewhat expectant.

A column of True Blood, more than two meters in diameter, floated in front of Gu Ding, radiating a dazzling red glow.

Gu Ding took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and began to swallow the drop of True Blood.

The crimson sphere, resembling liquid, visibly shrank as Gu Ding absorbed it. Within minutes, it was completely swallowed by Gu Ding and vanished without a trace.

Gu Ding felt a terrifying energy constantly brewing within his abdomen, like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment. He dared not underestimate this power, and focused his mind to begin using it to advance his cultivation.

Under the powerful stimulation of the True Blood, a strong tremor emanated from Gu Ding's Soul Space. After the tremor subsided, a Silver Gate slowly emerged.

The Silver Gate was also bound by countless black chains. There were probably tens of thousands of them.

Having learned from his previous two experiences, Gu Ding knew that to break through to the High-rank God- ranking god, he had to destroy all the chains and open the Silver Gate. Without hesitation, he began to use the powerful energy of the True Blood to launch a frenzied attack on the chains.

The first surge of True Blood energy spread out. Gu Ding's mind suddenly cleared, and everything except the large door in front of him disappeared.

Gu Ding knew that he had entered a state of enlightenment again. The feeling was similar to when he took the Fruit of the Universe last time, only slightly different.

Taking advantage of this state, Gu Ding unleashed a powerful punch at the chains.

The chains that would normally require countless impacts to shatter, in the state of enlightenment, could be destroyed in a single strike, with hundreds of them instantly broken.

After dozens of bombardments, all the black chains sealing the silver gate broke and disappeared.

Gu Ding forcefully pushed open the Silver Gate. Inside, a pyramid-shaped crystal shimmered with a mesmerizing light. Gu Ding quickly absorbed the item into his body, not bothering to examine its contents further, and instead chose to continue his cultivation; after all, opportunities for enlightenment were too precious.

After the Silver Gate opened, Gu Ding's physical stats immediately changed. His cultivation level also broke through from a mid-level Five-Star Mid-rank God to One-Star High-rank God.

But this was not the end. Gu Ding was using the powerful energy and the opportunity for enlightenment contained in this drop of True Blood to initiate a further breakthrough.

At the microscopic genetic level, the black chains binding the Gu Ding gene all crumbled one by one in the face of the enormous True Blood energy.

Gu Ding's cultivation level also experienced a further surge.

Two-Star High-rank God, three-star High-rank God...

It surged until it reached the level of Five-Star High-rank God before finally stopping.

Time Acceleration Cabin. More than a hundred days have passed, and the effects of the True Blood have finally worn off.

"This drop of True Blood has brought you quite a bit of benefit." The Sea Emperor smiled as he saw Gu Ding open his eyes, and he also directly projected the latest data of Gu Ding's body.

After reviewing the new data, Gu Ding was quite satisfied. "Judging from this, at full Combat Strength, he should be comparable to First Sequence true god. If we only consider physical strength, at full Combat Strength, he is comparable to Fourth Sequence true god, even stronger than an emperor."

"A strong physical body only means stronger defense and close-range attack power. But when you activate the Emperor Body, it's not just your physical body that's powerful, but your entire being transforms into a giant, which is a true increase in overall strength. Therefore, the Emperor Body is currently your most powerful offensive method." The Sea Emperor corrected Gu Ding's statement.

"That's true. Once I activated the Emperor Body, I completely transformed into a giant who attacks with his physical body. My strength is no longer limited by the strength of my soul or the strength of my divine source." Gu Ding nodded in agreement.

"The enlightenment brought by this drop of true god's blood has elevated your body to the limit that your current cultivation level can reach, saving you a lot of cultivation time." The Sea Emperor did not expect that Gu Ding could improve to this extent in just a few months after arriving in this world.

"Yes, there's not much point in going into seclusion any longer. I'm going to see what that pyramid-like thing behind the Silver Gate is."

As Gu Ding spoke, he removed the palm-sized, pyramid-shaped object from his body... (To be continued~^~)
