And his Bitter Sea also more than doubled in the process, as if a vast ocean was surging inside his body.
Finally, after taking the last golden fruit, Gu Sheng ushered in a true transformation. His body seemed to be enveloped in golden light, and every inch of his skin was radiating a bright light. His consciousness completely transformed at this moment, as if a golden dragon was writhing and flying in his body.
"Rumble--"
With a thunderous sound, the energy in Gu Sheng's body surged, like a flash flood. He felt as if he had broken free from some bondage and stepped onto a new level.
"Divine Bridge Realm!" Gu Sheng was filled with ecstasy. He knew that he had successfully broken through the shackles of the Life Spring Realm and stepped into the more advanced Divine Bridge Realm. At this moment, he felt as if he was one with heaven and earth and integrated with all things.
Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and two golden lights shot out from his eyes, as if they could penetrate the void. He felt the surging divine power in his body, and his heart was filled with confidence. He knew that he was no longer the weakling who allowed others to bully him, but a truly strong man!
"The way of heaven damages more and makes up for the deficiency..." Gu Sheng silently recited this motto from the mysterious ancient scripture in his heart and imprinted it on his tripod. This tripod seemed to be connected with his soul and changed with his thoughts. The tripod at this moment is no longer the ordinary artifact it was before, but a treasure that exudes mysterious light and is full of mysteries.
Gu Sheng's understanding of "Tao" also reached an unprecedented height at this moment. He believes that the tripod is a "vessel" naturally derived from heaven and earth, capable of evolving Tao and the mother of all things. He felt as if he was integrated with this cauldron and could use its power to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth.
"It's time to leave this place." Gu Sheng stood up and looked firmly into the distance. He knows that he still has a long road to practice, but he is confident that he will continue step by step until he reaches the peak!
For more than a year, he has devoted himself to practicing in this mysterious place, taking seven golden fruits, and now he has reached Divine Bridge Realm. He felt as if he had been reborn, and both his physical body and his spiritual consciousness had been improved as never before.
"The outside world is broader, and I want to explore more mysteries!" Gu Sheng was filled with expectation and longing. He knew he was about to embark on a new journey, one full of unknowns and challenges, but he was ready.
So, Gu Sheng packed his bags and left this mysterious place. When he walked out of the mountain forest, the sun shone on him, as if he was covered with a golden halo. He walked forward with his head held high, full of confidence and courage!
Gu Sheng came to a cave where warriors once lived.
"Zhengzheng——"
A metallic chirping sound echoed in Gu Sheng's cave, and he stared straight ahead. The copper Bagua Mirror, Jade Pure Bottle, and Tianluo Umbrella, these three shining treasures seem to have spirituality, each blooming with different brilliance. They are all weapons carefully refined by monks who transcend the Other Shore Realm world, and contain powerful power.
Gu Sheng was excited and wanted to incorporate these treasures into the Bitter Sea to enhance his cultivation. When he tried to sink these three treasures into the Bitter Sea, he found that the mysterious Green Copper Block seemed to occupy the best position, making other weapons unable to get close.
He frowned and sighed in his mind, "What on earth is this Green Copper Block? It can actually block the entry of these treasures." In desperation, he had to give up this idea temporarily.
Gu Sheng knows that he cannot stay in Primordial Forbidden Zone forever. He needs to go to a populated place to learn more about cultivation knowledge and news from the outside world. So, he packed his bags and embarked on a journey away from Primordial Forbidden Zone.
On the road, he continued to practice the mysterious footwork he learned from Old Madman. This kind of footwork was so mysterious, Shrinking Ground into Inches, that he was envious. He imagined that if he could completely master this kind of footwork, then where in the world would he not be able to go?
Two days later, Gu Sheng came to a prosperous town. As he walked along the bustling streets, various comments came to his ears.
"Have you heard? Demon Emperor's Tomb finally sank."
"Yes, the ruins are filled with resentment, mountains of bones, and rivers of blood. However, they still cannot be conquered."
"Eastern Wasteland's most precious treasure - Desolate Pagoda, has disappeared forever."
Gu Sheng Listening to these discussions, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in my heart. The sinking of Demon Emperor's Tomb and the disappearance of Desolate Pagoda indicate the unpredictable changes in this world. He knows that he must continue to work hard in order to gain a foothold in this world full of unknowns and dangers.
In the next half month, Gu Sheng walked between towns. He appeared in crowded places, but always maintained a low profile. He learned that Jiang Family, Ji Family, Shaking Light Holy Land and other major forces once broke into Primordial Forbidden Zone, but in the end they were completely wiped out and no one survived. He also heard some familiar names - Huang Miaoyin, Gu Xiaojiang, Linghu Qingwan and others also disappeared.
This news shocked Gu Sheng. These names were all geniuses of the same generation he met on the path of cultivation. Their disappearance undoubtedly cast a shadow on the world. At the same time, he also strengthened his determination to continue to practice hard to cope with possible crises in the future.
At the same time, Gu Sheng also realized that Yan Land could no longer meet his cultivation needs.
There is no strong sect or ancient family support here, and the only six Grotto-Heaven blessed places seem insignificant in the eyes of those big sects. In order to explore other secret realms beyond "Sea of Bitterness", he decided to leave this place and find a broader world of cultivation.
"I want to join a holy land or Desolate Ancient Family to obtain the cultivation methods of other secret realms." He thought to himself, "Although "Dao Scripture" records the cultivation methods of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm However, the cultivation methods of other secret realms are not covered. I want to start from this aspect, practice Sea of Wheels Secret Realm in "Dao Scripture", and practice the ancient scriptures of various holy places in other secret realms."
"However, before I leave, I still have one thing to do." He said to himself, "That is to go to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven and get back my belongings."
When he came to the mountain gate of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven again, he was surprised to find that "the bluestone steps were cracked, as if they had experienced endless years of erosion." He was surprised, "These bluestone steps are actually related to Desolate Pagoda!"
He walked into Lingxu Grotto-Heaven with full of doubts and expectations. Here, he met Elder Wu Qingfeng, a kind and profound old man.
"Elder, why are these bluestone steps cracked?" Gu Sheng asked curiously.
Elder Wu Qingfeng seemed to see his doubts and took the initiative to answer him, "These bluestone steps have a mysterious connection with Desolate Pagoda. When Desolate Pagoda disappeared, they also cracked."
"I see." Gu Sheng nodded and asked, "Elder, how can I explore other secret realms of the human body?"
Elder Wu Qingfeng smiled slightly and said slowly, "The next secret realm is Dao Palace. You need to go through the Bitter Sea and reach the other side before you can find the threshold of the Dao Palace."
"Dao Palace?" Gu Sheng was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then bowed deeply to Elder Wu Qingfeng, "Thank you, elder, for your advice!"
He knew that he was about to embark on a new cultivation journey to explore the unknown and mysterious Dao Palace Secret Realm.
After leaving Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Gu Sheng decided to go to Jade Pool Holy Land to learn the practice method of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
"Jade Pool Holy Land," he murmured, "Female disciples there can get married, and the conditions are strict. I want to try to see if I have the chance to become a disciple of Jade Pool Holy Land, and then learn more advanced cultivation techniques."
"I must become stronger!" Gu Sheng clenched his fists and said firmly to himself in his heart. His eyes were firm, as if he had seen his future self, standing at the top of cultivation, overlooking all living beings.
"Huh——"
A breeze blew by, and Gu Sheng stood on the top of the cliff, with his clothes fluttering, as if Banished Immortal. His consciousness surged like a tide, and through the layers of fog, he clearly perceived the unfathomable cultivation level of Elder Wu Qingfeng - Divine Bridge Realm. This was the first time that Gu Sheng felt the pressure of this realm at such a close distance, but he had no fear in his heart, but instead was full of respect and gratitude.
Gu Sheng is holding a drop of crystal clear water of Divine Spring in his hand. This is the treasure he got after going through all kinds of hardships in Primordial Forbidden Zone. This drop of water contains powerful vitality, enough to drive any cultivator crazy. In Gu Sheng's heart, this is his gratitude to Elder Wu Qingfeng.
"Elder, this is my junior's wish, please accept it." Gu Sheng offered the Divine Spring water with both hands, his tone extremely sincere.
A trace of surprise flashed in Elder Wu Qingfeng's eyes. He did not expect that Gu Sheng would take out such a precious treasure to thank him. He took a deep look at Gu Sheng, shook his head and said, "Little friend Gu, this Divine Spring water is too precious, and I really deserve it."
"The elder's words are wrong." Gu Sheng smiled slightly, filled a jade gourd with Divine Spring's water, and stuffed it into Wu Qingfeng's hand, "The elder has been a life-saving grace to this junior, so what does this drop of water mean? However, please keep this matter secret, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
When he and Lin Tianwen first came to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, it was this elder who always thought about them and blocked many obstacles so that their spiritual path could start smoothly.
In this regard, Gu Sheng is naturally a drop of water and a spring of kindness repaying the favor.
Wu Qingfeng Feeling the cold touch from the jade gourd in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He knows the value of this Divine Spring water, and also understands Gu Sheng's determination and decisiveness. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will accept it. Gu Xiaoyou, you must be careful when leaving Yan Land on this trip."
"Thank you, elder, for reminding me." Gu Sheng said goodbye and turned to leave. His figure gradually moved away in the sunlight until he disappeared.
After leaving Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Gu Sheng headed south and came to the once prosperous Primordial Ruins. The sight in front of him made him sigh with emotion: the once towering buildings were now in ruins, and those familiar figures no longer existed.
He came to Demon Emperor Yin Tomb, stared at the majestic tomb, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He thought of Lin Tianwen - the brother who once fought alongside him, but now he was trapped in this Demon Emperor Yin Tomb, with his life and death uncertain.
"Lin Tianwen, don't worry, when I have enough strength, I will definitely come to save you!" Gu Sheng clenched his fists, with a determined light shining in his eyes. He vowed to bring the ruins back to life so that the souls of those lost heroes could rest in peace.
After leaving the ruins, Gu Sheng decided to go back to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven to retrieve the items he left behind. When he returned to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, he found something was wrong with the atmosphere. Li Lin and Li Yun blocked his way, with cold smiles on their faces.
"Gu Sheng, you dare to come back!" Li Lin said coldly, "Three years ago you disgraced us, today we will make you pay the price!"
Gu Sheng looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but laugh. He responded calmly, "Oh? You two want to seek revenge from me? Then come, I will accompany you at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lin and Li Yun attacked Gu Sheng at the same time. I saw Gu Sheng easily dodging the two attacks in a flash. Then he urged Gale Nine Swords to instantly subdue the two people to the ground. This scene shocked everyone around them. They did not expect that Gu Sheng was so powerful that even Li Lin and Li Yun were no match for him.
"Hmph, you dare to trouble me with your little ability?" Gu Sheng snorted coldly, turned around and left. He came to the residence of old man Wu Qingfeng and asked about the items he had left behind, but learned that these items had been taken by Han Yi Elder Shui as his own. Gu Sheng frowned slightly and decided to go to Han Yi Elder Shui himself to get his things back.
Under the leadership of old man Wu Qingfeng, Gu Sheng came to Han Yishui's residence. He saw Han Yishui sitting in the main hall with his eyes closed and a disdainful smile on his face. Gu Sheng took a deep breath and walked forward and said loudly, "Elder Han, I'm here to get my things back."
Han Yishui slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gu Sheng in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this young man would dare to come directly to him to ask for something. He snorted coldly, "Your things? Why don't I know where your things are?"
Gu Sheng heard this and sneered, "Elder Han Why pretend to be confused? It is common knowledge that the items I left behind at Lingxu Grotto-Heaven have been taken by you as your own."
"Hmph, you said what's yours is yours? What's the evidence?" Han Yishui said disdainfully, "Besides, so what if it's yours? Now that they're in my hands, they're mine."
"You!" A trace of anger flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, "Elder Han, I hope you can understand the truth: some things are not yours to touch at will."
"Oh? Really?" Han Yishui stood up and walked to Gu Sheng, "Then I'm going to see what you can do to get your things back."
As he spoke, he slapped Gu Sheng with his palm.
Gu Sheng dodged the palm in a flash, and at the same time urged Gale Nine Swords to attack Han Yishui.
The two of them fought fiercely in the hall, their sword energy flowing freely and energy making the entire hall tremble.
People around him retreated for fear of being affected.
After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng finally found an opportunity and stabbed Han Yishui in the chest.
