"Go there."
Ling Xiao took a breath of cold air - the magma there is darker, almost black-red, and it is obviously the core area with higher temperature.
"Are you crazy? The guard said so."
"You stay here."
Gu Sheng interrupted him.
"I have to go down."
Ling Xiao stared at Gu Sheng for a moment and suddenly smiled.
"Are you kidding me? Do I look like someone who will chicken out?"
Without waiting for Gu Sheng to respond, he dived down first.
Gu Sheng shook his head and laughed, followed closely behind.
As depth increases, pressure increases sharply.
The magma changed from being viscous to flowing like water, and the temperature was so high that even the body-protecting gas began to twist.
Ling Xiao's skin began to crack, and the blood evaporated as soon as it seeped out, but he gritted his teeth and continued to dive.
"Arrived."
Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.
The two of them were suspended in a piece of black-red magma. The Yang Qi here was so strong that it was almost substantial, forming countless tiny golden-red light spots that floated up and down in the magma.
"This place"
Ling Xiao's voice is hoarse.
"It's literally killing people."
Golden Crow Deep in the crater, red magma is rolling like boiling blood.
The deepest part seemed to be pregnant with a miniature sun, exuding the suffocating aura of the Sun, turning into nine golden light pillars that shot straight into the sky, dyeing the clouds within a hundred miles into gilded gold.
"Tsk——"
Gu Sheng was sitting cross-legged on the rock platform at the bottom of the second barrier, with gray-black evil energy constantly evaporating from his body.
The moment those Yin Qi came into contact with the Golden Crow Yang Qi that filled the air, a harsh sound like water and fire erupted.
"The Yang Qi concentration of this second barrier is more than three times stronger than the first barrier."
Gu Sheng's closed eyes trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead, which were evaporated by the high temperature in an instant.
The [Nine Dragon Qiankun Art] running in his body is circulating at extreme speed. Every time he completes a cycle, a wisp of pure Yin Qi will be forced out from his Dantian.
Three feet below the ledge was the boiling Magma Lake. At this moment, a wave of Dao Fire suddenly exploded.
Gu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly, formed seals on his chest with both palms, and a Yin Qi barrier formed instantly. "
With a "boom" sound, the fire wave hit the barrier and exploded into sparks all over the sky.
"What a risk."
Gu Sheng felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and he forced himself to swallow the blood.
He looked down at his palm, where there was a black burn mark. "
Only the second barrier is so powerful, no wonder those guys can't tell Heavenly Palace Realm that they can't trespass. "
Magma Lake On the other side of the river, several body cultivators who were practicing were startled by the silence, and they all cast surprised glances.
One of the shirtless burly men sneered.
"Another Yin-type monk who doesn't know how to live or die, does he really think Golden Crow Mountain is an ordinary training ground?"
"Shh, keep your voice down."
The companion lowered his voice.
"That person who can persist at the bottom of the second barrier for so long must be a core disciple of some big force."
Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear to these comments and just took out a spiritual grass glowing with blue light from his arms.
There are still two crystal clear leaves left on the grass blades, which are the [Saint Infant Grass] that were desperately obtained in the ancient ruins.
"Only the last two slices left."
Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with pain, but then he became determined.
He took off one piece and put it into his mouth, and a cool feeling suddenly flowed through his limbs.
The small wounds on the body surface that were burned by Yang Qi began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With the injection of Saint Infant Grass energy, the Yin Qi in Gu Sheng's body became full again.
He placed his hands on his knees, and nine illusory dragon-shaped air currents suddenly appeared around his body.
These air currents entwine with each other, forming an airtight vortex of Yin Qi.
"Nine Dragons Universe, reverse Yin and Yang!"
Gu Sheng gave a low drink, and the nine dragon-shaped airflows suddenly expanded.
The surface of Magma Lake suddenly sank, and the energy of the world and the earth with a radius of a hundred meters was drawn in crazily, forming a huge eye of energy in mid-air.
Several nearby body refiners were caught off guard and were almost pulled into the center of the whirlpool.
"Is this guy crazy?!"
The shirtless man clung to the rock wall in embarrassment and shouted in shock and anger.
"By triggering an energy storm in a place like this, do you want to drag everyone along with you?"
In the center of the storm, Gu Sheng's figure was blurred.
Only the nine dragon-shaped air currents became more and more solid, constantly swallowing the violent Yang Qi around them.
Those Yang Qi were forcibly converted into pure energy and injected into Gu Sheng's body.
"Not enough"
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
He could feel that the shackles of his mind had begun to loosen, but there was still one last burst of strength before he could completely break through.
At this moment, a Dao Body shadow quietly appeared on the edge of the storm.
It is Ling Xiao who has just broken through the realm.
He squinted at the center of the storm, with a playful smile on his face.
Magma Lake's unusual movements also attracted the attention of the powerful people in the deeper barrier.
Behind the fourth barrier, two cultivators opened their eyes at the same time.
One of them has flame lines between his eyebrows, and the other's body is as crystal clear as jade.
"Someone triggered an energy tide in the second barrier."
The flame-marked monk said lightly, his voice sounding like lava rolling.
"Do you want to deal with it?"
The Jade Body cultivator shook his head.
"It's just a fight between ants. But the newcomer Ling Xiao has good qualifications and deserves attention."
After the two of them finished speaking, they closed their eyes again and fell into meditation.
The auras emanating from their bodies were all at the level of the Heavenly Palace Realm Great Perfection.
What is even more astonishing is that the Golden Crow Yang Qi overflowing from the magma will automatically flow away when it is three feet close to their bodies, as if they are afraid of a natural enemy.
Five days passed quickly.
The sky of Golden Crow Mountain is always shrouded in red clouds, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night.
The center of the storm where Gu Sheng is located has shrunk to an area of ten feet, but the energy concentration has increased more than ten times.
"Now!"
Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and there were nine miniature dragons circling in his pupils.
He swallowed the last piece of Saint Infant Grass without hesitation, and the Yin Qi that had been accumulated in his body exploded at this moment.
"Click——"
A crisp sound that only Gu Sheng could hear came from the Dantian.
The nine dragon-shaped True Essence that were originally squatting there suddenly merged into one and turned into a black mysterious dragon.
The giant dragon looked up to the sky and roared, and the Yin Qi on Gu Sheng's body instantly materialized, condensing into a layer of ice crystal armor as thin as a cicada's wings.
"It's done!"
Gu Sheng stood up, and the ice crystal armor around him collided with the hot Yang Qi, making a tooth-wrenching "sizzling" sound.
He felt the surging power in his body, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.
Ling Xiao stood on a protruding rock, his eyes fixed on the figure sitting cross-legged not far away, his teeth clenching unconsciously.
"How is this possible?"
Ling Xiao's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, and the veins on his forehead popped out, showing his inner unrest.
Just a dozen days ago, he finally broke through to the mid-level of the Earth Palace Realm. He thought he could close the distance with Gu Sheng.
But the scene before him made all his efforts seem so ridiculous.
Gu Sheng is surrounded by Yang Qi that is so rich that it is almost substantial. The aura is rising steadily and is impacting the late stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm!
"His foundation was obviously severely damaged, how could he recover in such a short period of time?"
Ling Xiao clenched his fists and dug his nails deeply into his palms without realizing it.
He clearly remembered that Gu Sheng was not in good condition, but now the opponent's aura was so strong and suffocating.
In the center of Magma Lake, Gu Sheng is suspended in mid-air, with boiling magma beneath him.
His eyes were closed tightly, and the pores all over his body were open, greedily absorbing the pure Yang energy unique to Golden Crow Mountain.
The crimson energy was like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, pouring into his body continuously.
"The physical body is domineering. Is this the legendary Innate Dao Body?"
Ling Xiao shook his head bitterly, with both jealousy and helplessness in his eyes.
He prides himself on being extremely talented and is also a leader among the younger generation Qinghe Holy Land, but compared with Gu Sheng, he is like a firefly to a bright moon.
At this moment, the Yang Qi around Gu Sheng suddenly fluctuated violently, forming a huge vortex.
Ling Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly. He was too familiar with this sign - this was a sign of an imminent breakthrough!
"Damn it!"
Ling Xiao stamped his feet violently, and the rocks under his feet shattered.
He finally broke through the realm and thought he could catch up with Gu Sheng, but the other party tried to keep him far away.
Gu Sheng in the center of the magma vortex suddenly opened his eyes, and golden flames seemed to be beating in his eyes.
He formed seals with his hands, and the spiritual power in his body surged like a river, impacting the realm barrier.
"Broken!"
A low cry echoed in the magma space, and the aura around Gu Sheng suddenly surged, and his clothes moved automatically without any wind.
The yang energy surrounding him seemed to be summoned and poured into his body even more crazily.
Ling Xiao's face was ashen, and he could clearly feel that Gu Sheng's aura was undergoing a qualitative change - Heavenly Palace Realm's late stage, it was done!
"This boy"
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth.
"No matter where you go, you always get opportunities. This kind of luck is incredible!"
He thought of how much hardship he had endured and how many precious resources he had spent in order to break through the realm.
But what about Gu Sheng? It seems that the world is helping him, and even a Jedi like Golden Crow Mountain can become a treasured place for his cultivation.
"No, I can't sit still and wait for death!"
Ling Xiao had a ruthless look in his eyes.
The muscles all over his body bulged, and spiritual power circulated crazily in his meridians.
Since Gu Sheng can break through here, why can't Ling Xiao?
"Drink!"
With a loud shout, Ling Xiao rushed deeper into Magma Lake.
There is an invisible barrier there that separates the different training areas of Golden Crow Mountain. The deeper you go, the stronger the yang energy becomes and the greater the pressure.
"Open it for me!"
Ling Xiao used his mental skills with all his strength and punched the barrier.
The barrier rippled and a gap appeared.
He rushed in without hesitation,——
"Poof!"
As soon as he entered, the overwhelming pressure made Ling Xiao's complexion change drastically.
He felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, and his internal organs were whining.
Before he could adapt, an even more violent Yang Qi surged in, overwhelming him in an instant.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Ling Xiao flew backwards and fell heavily on the ground not far from Gu Sheng. A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the front of his chest red.
"Ahem."
Ling Xiao struggled to hold himself up, his face pale.
He looked into the depths of the barrier, his eyes full of reluctance, but helpless.
The gap is too big.
In the center of Magma Lake, Gu Sheng seemed to sense something and turned to look in the direction of Ling Xiao.
The two people's eyes met in the air, one was as calm as water, the other was complicated and unclear.
"You're too impatient."
Gu Sheng's voice came faintly.
Ling Xiao snorted coldly.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sat down cross-legged and began to adjust his breathing.
"I just wanted to see what it was like deeper down."
Gu Sheng shook his head and said no more.
He closed his eyes again and felt the power surging within his body. Heavenly Palace Realm Later, it's done. But this is not enough, far from it.
"Long Teng."
Gu Sheng said this name silently in his heart.
That is the powerful enemy he must face, the true top existence of the younger generation Qinghe Holy Land.
With his current strength, he may be able to fight with one, but he is still far from being able to kill him.
"Within ten years, it must reach Dao Palace Realm."
Gu Sheng secretly made up his mind.
He knew how dangerous his situation was—the fatwa of the Six Holy Lands was no joke.
Without enough strength, even self-protection is a problem.
The heat wave of magma slapped on his face, but Gu Sheng didn't notice it at all.
He began to sort out the spiritual power in his body and consolidate the realm he had just broken through.
At the same time, he was also comprehending the secret of Yang Dao of Golden Crow Mountain.
"Nine Dragon Qiankun Art second level."
Gu Sheng silently recited the mental formula in his heart. This peerless technique has nine levels in total. Each time you upgrade one level, your strength will make a qualitative leap.
He has now mastered the second level, but there is still a long way to go before he can achieve success.
"Yang Dao."
Gu Sheng thoughtfully. Golden Crow Mountain is the land of Zhiyang, which is suitable for enlightenment of Yang Dao.
If you can gain some understanding here, it will be of great benefit to Nine Dragon Qiankun Art's practice.
Time passed minute by minute, and Gu Sheng was completely immersed in practice.
The yang energy surrounding him gradually changed, from the initial red color to a layer of pale gold.
Not far away, Ling Xiao, who had finished adjusting his breath, opened his eyes. Seeing this scene, shock flashed through his eyes again.
"This guy is actually studying the Yang Dao?"
Ling Xiao felt a storm in his heart. The Yang Dao is an extremely domineering one among the three thousand avenues. Ordinary monks would not even dare to touch it, let alone comprehend it.
But Gu Sheng not only dared, but it also seemed to be quite rewarding.
"Monster"
Ling Xiao cursed in a low voice, but had to admit that the gap between himself and the other party was getting wider and wider.
He forced himself to calm down and began to focus on his training.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Yang Qi in the magma space suddenly fluctuated violently, and the source was exactly where Gu Sheng was.
He slowly opened his eyes, golden light flowing in them, and there was an earth-shattering aura in his every move.
"Heavenly Palace Realm late stage, stable."
Gu Sheng felt the surging power in his body and nodded with satisfaction.
These three days of practice not only consolidated the realm, but also gained some insights into the Yang Dao.
He stood up and looked deeper into Magma Lake.
That is the core area of Golden Crow Mountain. The concentration of Yang Qi is several times that here, and the pressure is naturally greater.
"It's time to go to the next stop."
Gu Sheng whispered to himself.
It is the place where Qinghe Holy Land's most powerful body refiners practice, including two of the legendary five great body refiners.
Gu Sheng stood in front of the barrier, the surrounding magma was rolling, and the sound of bubbles bursting was like the roar of some ancient ferocious beast.
The hot air burned his lungs, but made his spirit clearer.
"This kid really dares to go in?"
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes with his fingers.
