"Okay then, be careful." Kou Hai gasped.
Ying Tianxing also nodded, "Gu Sheng, Black Emperor, you must be careful."
"Woof woof!" Black Emperor barked twice in response.
Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang continued to crawl forward, while Xing Lie and others returned to the cave to wait for their good news. The higher they climbed, the stronger the gravity became. It was as if there was an invisible mountain pressing on them, making every step forward extremely difficult. They have no intention of giving up, because they know that only by persisting can they find Divine Spring.
"Woof!" Suddenly Black Emperor shouted excitedly, as if it had discovered something.
Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang followed Black Emperor's gaze and saw a spring shrouded in light not far ahead, bubbling with water. The spring water is clear and sparkling like a bright gem inlaid on the mountain wall.
"Is this Divine Spring?" Wu Dewang asked excitedly.
"It should be." Gu Sheng nodded with excitement in his eyes, "Let's go there quickly!"
Just when they were about to approach Divine Spring, a powerful pressure suddenly fell from the sky, as if it was going to completely crush them. Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang used their skills to resist the terrible pressure, but their bodies were still shaking uncontrollably.
"Woof woof woof!" Black Emperor barked wildly, seemingly cheering for his master.
Under that strong pressure, every step they took became extremely difficult. But even so, they have no intention of giving up, because they know that Divine Spring is right in front of them, and they can get its nourishment as long as they persist a little longer.
After a hard struggle, Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang finally came to Divine Spring. They looked at the crystal clear spring water in front of them, and their hearts were filled with joy and expectation.
"Have a taste of this Divine Spring!" Gu Sheng said with a smile.
Wu Dewang nodded, and they took a handful of spring water and drank it. Suddenly a cool feeling spread throughout their bodies, making them feel extremely comfortable and happy. At the same time, they also found that their vitality was rapidly recovering, as if they had regained their youthful vitality.
"Great! This Divine Spring really deserves its reputation!" Wu Dewang's voice was full of excitement and greed. He picked up a handful of Divine Spring Water with both hands and watched it drip like pearls, shining with a mysterious luster.
Gu Sheng stood aside with a deep gaze, "This Divine Spring is indeed extraordinary. We have to pack some back quickly and give them to Xing Lie. This will definitely be of great benefit to their practice."
As he spoke, he quickly took out five or six exquisite Porcelain Bottle from the storage bag and began to carefully pack the Divine Spring. Every drop of Divine Spring seems to contain endless vitality, making people yearn for it.
At this moment, a burst of noise broke the peaceful atmosphere. Black Emperor and Wu Dewang actually got into a fight over Divine Spring.
"You stupid dog, let go!" Wu Dewang roared angrily, trying to take back his Porcelain Bottle from Black Emperor's mouth. But Black Emperor obviously doesn't intend to give up easily. It sticks to Porcelain Bottle with bared teeth, as if this is its lifeblood.
"Woof woof! You are the idiot. How can you enjoy such a good thing Divine Spring by yourself!" Black Emperor retorted, with a cunning light in his eyes.
Gu Sheng looked at the farce in front of him and couldn't help but frowned. He knew that these two guys had always been at odds, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, they could fight over a trivial matter. He sighed secretly in his heart and decided to mediate.
"That's enough! Stop both of you!" Gu Sheng's voice was like thunder, exploding in their ears. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Gu Sheng.
"This Divine Spring is so precious. If you don't collect it quickly and enjoy it, what will happen if it suddenly disappears?" Gu Sheng said sternly.
Black Emperor and Wu Dewang both lowered their heads and continued to greedily enjoy Divine Spring.
"Okay, let's continue to pretend to pick up Divine Spring, and then leave this place as soon as possible." Gu Sheng said, while signaling the two of them to continue action. He knew that although the two guys had temporarily stopped fighting, there was no guarantee that they would not clash again. Therefore, he must complete the task as soon as possible and then take them away from this place full of temptation.
Just as they were about to leave, a mysterious light suddenly flashed out from the depths of Divine Spring. It was a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky, as if it was going to light up the entire sky.
"What is that?" Wu Dewang exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the light beam, his eyes full of shock and curiosity.
Black Emperor also widened his eyes, obviously shocked by this sudden change. Gu Sheng frowned as he felt a powerful energy wave approaching their location quickly.
"Quick! Let's get to the island quickly!" Gu Sheng said decisively. He knew that there must be some big secret hidden in this Divine Spring, and the appearance of this beam of light now confirmed his conjecture. They must go to the island as soon as possible to find out the truth, otherwise they may miss this golden opportunity.
So, under the leadership of Gu Sheng, the three people quickly swam to the island in the middle of the lake. The lake water rippled beneath them, as if they were also excited by their actions.
The moment they finally set foot on the island in the middle of the lake, a stronger spiritual energy hit their faces. They looked around and saw that the island was lined with green trees, fragrant flowers, birds singing and the flowers fragrant, just like a fairyland on earth.
"Here... there is such a strong aura here!" Wu Dewang exclaimed, his face full of disbelief and surprise.
Black Emperor was also wagging its tail excitedly, seeming to be cheering for finding such a good place.
Gu Sheng looked around with a solemn expression. He knew that this place did not appear by chance and must be hiding some big secret. They have to tread carefully so as not to miss any clues.
"Woof! Look! There are fruit trees there!" Suddenly Black Emperor shouted loudly. It pointed at a lush orchard not far away and jumped up excitedly.
Gu Sheng and Wu Dewang heard the words and looked around, only to see that the orchard was filled with all kinds of rare and exotic fruits, each of which exuded an alluring fragrance and light. As soon as their hearts moved, they immediately ran towards the orchard...
Just as they were about to approach the orchard, a powerful energy barrier suddenly appeared in front of them. This barrier shimmered with mysterious light, as if trying to keep them out.
"What's going on?" Wu Dewang asked in surprise. He tried to touch the barrier with his hand, but was bounced back by a strong repulsive force.
"What kind of formation is this barrier?" Gu Sheng frowned and whispered to himself. He knew that this barrier was anything but ordinary and must be closely connected to the island's great secret.
Black Emperor and Wu Dewang also gathered around. They were also full of curiosity and confusion about this barrier.
"It seems that we need to work together to break this barrier." Wu Dewang said in a deep voice, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
Black Emperor nodded, "Woof! That's right, we have to find a way to crack it quickly. We can't let others get to the treasure inside!"
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, and he summoned Grass Vine Demonic Soul, ready to break the barrier. Grass Vine Demonic Soul was flying in front of the barrier, seemingly looking for flaws in the formation.
After three days and three nights of hard work, Grass Vine Demonic Soul finally found the weakness of the barrier and successfully cracked the formation. Gu Sheng was enveloped in a burst of light and took the lead in crossing the barrier and entering the mysterious orchard.
In the orchard, nine fruit trees stand among them, each one exuding rich vitality. Gu Sheng walked to one of the fruit trees and looked up, only to see a red fruit hanging on the branch, like a bright gem. His heart moved, and he reached out and picked two red fruits and one golden fruit.
Gu Sheng put a red fruit into his mouth and immediately felt an infinite vitality spreading throughout his body. He seemed to have entered a state of divine ascension, ecstatic and wonderful.
In this peak state, Gu Sheng decided to start practicing in seclusion. He sat cross-legged and concentrated on guiding the energy of life to flow through the eight extraordinary meridians. As time passed, his body began to undergo changes.
The golden body becomes extremely dazzling under the moisture of vitality, as if it is made of golden crystal. Rays of purple divine light fell from the sky, accompanied by the sound of rolling divine thunder. These divine lights and divine thunders form various shapes, including pyramid shape, tree of life shape, fairy fruit shape... each one contains powerful power.
Gu Sheng's breakthrough process was extremely difficult, but with his firm will and strong cultivation, he managed to survive the bombardments of divine thunder. The white bones were exposed on his body, and he looked extremely penetrating, but he had no intention of flinching.
After going through a long fantasy process, Gu Sheng's cultivation level successfully broke through from the Navel Wheel Realm first level to the Navel Wheel Realm second level. He felt the surging power in his body and couldn't help but punch.
"Boom!" A loud noise came, and a hill on the shore was smashed into powder by his fist. This scene shocked Black Emperor and Wu Dewang outside the formation barrier. They did not dare to express their anger and could only stare at this scene blankly.
"Woof woof! That's amazing! Gu Sheng's cultivation level has actually broken through!" Black Emperor couldn't help but exclaimed.
Wu Dewang also nodded, "It's really amazing. I didn't expect him to be able to break through here."
At this time, Gu Sheng woke up from the retreat, and he felt that the power in his body was stronger than before. He stood up and moved his muscles, making a crackling sound.
"Haha! I finally made a breakthrough!" Gu Sheng laughed loudly and said with great enthusiasm. He can't wait to explore more secrets of this mysterious island.
Black Emperor and Wu Dewang are also eager to try it. They look forward to exploring this mysterious fairyland fantasy world with Gu Sheng.
"You two, since you like fighting, just fight outside first." Gu Sheng glanced at Black Emperor and Wu Dewang who were arguing, "After I break through several levels of cultivation, you can come in and share the results."
"Hmph! Who do you think you are! Just asking us to wait?" Black Emperor muttered dissatisfiedly, but did not continue to fight with Wu Dewang, but instead focused on cracking the barrier pattern.
Wu Dewang also stopped what he was doing and glared at Black Emperor, "Just wait, who is afraid of whom!"
Gu Sheng ignored them and turned his attention to the golden fruits in the orchard. These fruits are as dazzling as stars, shining with alluring luster, like golden gems inlaid among the emerald green leaves. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "These fruits are really magical, as if they contain endless vitality and power."
He reached out and picked a golden fruit and put it in his mouth. The fruit instantly burst out with rich vitality, filling his whole body., although this power was powerful, it did not make any breakthrough in his cultivation.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and looked back at Wu Dewang and Black Emperor who were working hard to break the barrier. He felt that they were about to break through the barrier, so he quickly picked a few green leaves and two golden fruits to prepare for emergencies.
"Strange, why haven't I made a breakthrough yet?" Gu Sheng was puzzled. He felt that he had touched the threshold of breakthrough, but he was always just a little short.
At this moment, his heart moved and he decided to make a bold attempt. He took out the two bright red fruits from the space ring and put them into his mouth without hesitation.
"Crack!" The moment the fruit is bitten, the nectar-like juice bursts out instantly and melts in your mouth. An indescribable feeling of comfort came from the tip of the tongue and quickly spread throughout the body. This feeling makes people feel as if they are in a fairyland, ecstatic and infinitely intoxicated.
"Wow! This fruit is really amazing!" Gu Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed. He felt as if his body was being pushed by a powerful force, and his cultivation level began to soar rapidly.
"Boom!" At this moment, thunder suddenly rolled in the sky, and purple divine thunder fell from the sky, heading straight for Gu Sheng. This is a sign of breakthrough Heavenly Tribulation!
"Well done!" Gu Sheng shouted, facing the divine thunder without fear. He knows that this is the critical moment for his breakthrough. Only by experiencing the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation can he reach the next level.
One after another divine thunder bombarded Gu Sheng's body, and each bombardment made him feel unprecedented pain. But his will was as firm as steel, supporting his body to continue to break through.
"Ah!" Gu Sheng looked up to the sky and roared, and his whole body burst into bright golden light. His cultivation finally broke through from the Navel Wheel Realm second heaven to the Navel Wheel Realm fourth heaven! A sun emerged from his navel. This was a vision born in the secret realm of the navel chakra.
In the secret realm of the navel chakra, the sun rises over the sea and the river spring enters the old year. A fairyland world was created in the sea and evolved at an extremely fast speed. Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and flowers, birds, insects, and fish have emerged from scratch, lifelike... This is a fairyland world full of life, as magical and beautiful as a miniature version of the universe.
"Rumble!" The divine thunder continued to roar, as if it was going to destroy Gu Sheng. But his body became more and more dazzling under the baptism of divine thunder. The golden body was bombarded until only a skeleton was left, but the skeleton could always quickly recover its golden muscles, as if life had gone through infinite reincarnations.
Heavenly Tribulation has dissipated, and Gu Sheng's cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Navel Wheel Realm. He waved his fist lightly, and the void shattered like a broken mirror, and the surrounding formations also disintegrated.
