He clearly remembered the pain of having his internal organs crushed to pieces the last time he forced his way through the barrier.
The world behind the barrier is simply not a realm that ordinary monks can set foot on.
Gu Sheng took one step without hesitation.
In an instant, the world was spinning. Five times the pressure crashed down like a mountain, and Gu Sheng's bones made an overwhelmed "crack" sound.
His face instantly turned pale, and veins popped out on his forehead.
"Hmph!"
Gu Sheng groaned and took three steps back to stabilize his body.
The magma under your feet is as thick as glue, and every inch of movement requires a huge amount of spiritual power.
Outside the barrier, Ling Xiao's eyes widened.
"How is it possible? He was not ejected?"
Within the barrier, several sharp eyes were directed at this new uninvited guest.
Gu Sheng can feel the scrutiny and hostility contained in those eyes, like a group of ferocious beasts sizing up the prey that has intruded into their territory.
"Interesting."
A hoarse voice came from the right.
Gu Sheng turned around and saw a bald man sitting cross-legged on a raised black rock.
The man's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and his naked upper body was covered with hideous scars.
"Buzz——"
A domineering spiritual consciousness swept across Gu Sheng's body unceremoniously, probing the depth of his cultivation like a knife scraping bones.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly. This kind of probing was tantamount to naked provocation to Cultivation World.
"Earth Palace Mid Stage, how dare you come to the depths of Burning Heaven Valley?"
The bald man withdrew his spiritual consciousness, a look of contempt on his face.
"Boy, are you tired of living or are you out of your mind?"
Gu Sheng felt something in his heart.
He originally hid part of his cultivation and only showed the strength of Earth Palace Mid Stage. But now it seems that this disguise will only arouse more suspicion.
"Senior is joking."
Gu Sheng slightly raised his hand, and the spiritual power in his body circulated, slightly releasing his true cultivation.
"I'm just used to keeping a low profile."
The bald man had surprise in his eyes.
"Earth Palace Great Perfection?"
He looked Gu Sheng up and down.
"Even so, it is rare for you to be able to withstand five times the pressure at your age. Which family are you a disciple of?"
Gu Sheng noticed that there were several spiritual consciousnesses around him still spying secretly, and he suddenly had an idea.
"Master Daoist Yong'an."
"A disciple of Yong'an Daoist?"
The bald man's expression changed obviously, and his tone suddenly became more polite.
"It turns out he is a disciple of Yong'an, no wonder."
Before he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly interrupted.
"Hong Yun, when did you change your profession to be a watchdog? Do you even want to question the origins of a junior?"
Gu Sheng looked around and saw a burly man with a ferocious scar on his face grinning, showing yellow teeth.
The big man was surrounded by hot air currents that were visible to the naked eye, and he obviously had profound cultivation.
"Mi Yingzong!"
The bald man named Hong Yun had a gloomy face.
"It's not your turn to dictate what I do!"
"Hahaha!"
Mi Yingzong laughed and turned to Gu Sheng.
"Boy, don't listen to this bald donkey's nonsense. Although the name of Yong'an Lao Dao is useful, but here"
He patted the bloody long knife on his waist.
"Strength is the last word."
Gu Sheng observed the two of them calmly.
The smell of gunpowder between them was so strong that it could almost ignite the air around them, and it was obvious that they had been grudges for a long time.
Hong Yun snorted coldly.
"Mi Yingzong, stop sowing discord here."
He looked at Gu Sheng again, with a warning in his tone.
"Boy, for Yongan's sake, I'd like to remind you that this is not the place you should stay. Leave while you can still go."
Gu Sheng can sense the coexistence of good intentions and threats in the other person's words.
He bowed slightly.
"Thank you for your concern, senior. But I still want to get used to it."
"I don't know what's wrong!"
Hong Yun's eyes flashed coldly.
"Do you think you can practice here with a protective magic weapon? When the spiritual power of the magic weapon is exhausted, you will be crushed into a puddle of flesh!"
Outside the barrier, Ling Xiao was frightened.
"Hong Yun, you are too lenient!"
Mi Yingzong suddenly stood up, and the momentum around him surged.
"A person can stay as long as he likes, and his death is his own business!"
Hong Yun Veins popped up on his forehead.
"Mi Yingzong! Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
"So what?"
Mi Yingzong held the handle of the knife with a ferocious smile.
"How about we settle old and new accounts together?"
The temperature in the air suddenly increased, and the magma began to surge violently.
The other monks retreated for fear of being involved in the fight between the two.
Gu Sheng stood on the edge of the barrier, feeling the sudden burst of anger from Hong Yun, and was secretly surprised in his heart.
The bald monk's mood changed so quickly that he was like a volcano that might erupt at any time.
"I don't know how to praise!"
Hong Yun's eyes burned with anger, and veins popped out under his bronze skin.
"I kindly reminded you, but you turned a deaf ear!"
Gu Sheng was about to explain when a few sneers suddenly sounded from around him.
"Hong Yun, when will you change your bad temper?"
A tall and thin monk said with a strange air.
"Qinghe Holy Land Who are you trying to show the majesty of the five potential body refiners here?"
"Exactly.
"Another person answered.
"Who doesn't know that Hong Senior Brother Yun's Molten Tyrant Body has reached great success and is here Burning Heaven Valley like a fish in water?"
Hong Yun's face became increasingly gloomy, and his fists clenched loudly.
"Hahaha!"
The scarred man Mi Yingzong suddenly laughed loudly.
"What are the top five potentials? In my eyes, Hong Yun can always only be ranked second!"
"Mi Yingzong!"
Hong Yun roared angrily, and the sound caused magma to splash around.
"You're looking for death!"
Before he finished speaking, Hong Yun shot out, and his right fist hit Mi Yingzong's face with a red light.
Mi Yingzong did not dodge or dodge, but also punched him with a sinister smile.
"Boom——!"
The moment the two fists collided, a shock wave visible to the naked eye swept out.
Gu Sheng felt as if his chest had been hit hard, and he took more than ten steps back before he could barely stand still.
The surrounding magma was shaken, causing waves several feet high, and then crashed down.
"Is this the true body-refining expert?"
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
He had never seen such a pure collision of physical strength. The power of heaven and earth aroused by the movements of those two people was far beyond his imagination.
Outside the barrier, Ling Xiao was stunned.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed towards the barrier.
"Gu Sheng, let me help you!"
"Don't come in!"
Gu Sheng quickly stopped, but it was too late.
Ling Xiao As soon as half of his body passed through the barrier, he was hit in the chest by an invisible force. "
Poof—" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he flew back, fell heavily on the rocks outside the barrier, and passed out.
Gu Sheng's heart sank.
Ling Xiao Although his personality is out of control, his loyalty moved him.
The intensity of energy here is several times that of the outside world. If you can practice here, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Continuous explosions brought Gu Sheng's thoughts back to reality.
The battle between Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong has reached a fever pitch, and every collision between the two causes the earth to shake.
Hong Yun was surrounded by red air, and every punch was as hot as lava; Mi Yingzong was covered in metallic luster, and there was a faint roar of a tiger between his fists and feet.
"Hong Yun! Your Molten Tyrant Body is nothing more than that!"
Mi Yingzong laughed wildly and swept his whip leg towards Hong Yun's waist.
Hong Yun refused to evade, and took the leg forcefully, while hitting Mi Yingzong's shoulder hard with his right elbow. "
There was a crisp sound, and Mi Yingzong's left shoulder collapsed obviously, but there was no sign of pain on his face.
"Happy!"
Mi Yingzong was even more excited after being injured, and his offensive became more fierce.
Gu Sheng was horrified to see it.
Not only are these two physically strong, their resilience is even more amazing. The collapse of Mi Yingzong recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the waist where Hong Yun was kicked only left a red mark and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Boom—!"
With a final loud noise, the two of them flew backwards at the same time, each smashing several boulders before coming to a stop.
After the smoke and dust dispersed, Hong Yun was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and Mi Yingzong also had a blackened fist mark on his chest, but the fighting spirit in their eyes did not diminish at all.
"That's it for today!"
Hong Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly.
"When I, Crimson Sun True Body, succeed, I will make you kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Mi Yingzong smiled ferociously.
"What a shame! Next time we meet, I will step on your head and let you know who is the real number one in body training!"
The two of them each spat and turned to walk in different directions.
Only then did the surrounding monks dare to gasp loudly. Many of them were slightly injured in the aftermath of the battle just now.
Gu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced around, and found a relatively quiet corner to sit down cross-legged.
As soon as he sat down, he heard whispers coming from all around.
"This kid really dares to practice?"
"The ignorant are fearless!"
"Just wait and see, within a quarter of an hour, his meridians will be burst by the energy!"
Hong Yun was also staring coldly at Gu Sheng not far away, with sarcasm in his eyes.
"Seek death."
Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear and slowly closed his eyes.
He started "Nine Revolutions Profound Sun Art" and carefully guided the violent energy around him into his body.
"Hiss——"
The moment the first ray of energy entered the meridians, Gu Sheng's whole body trembled violently, as if thousands of red-hot steel needles were piercing into his body at the same time.
The energy was extremely violent, rushing through the meridians, causing tearing pain wherever it passed.
"Ugh!"
Gu Sheng groaned, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.
He could feel that this energy contained the most destructive power of Yang Zhizhi, and if he was not careful, his meridians would be severed.
In the distance, Hong Yun saw Gu Sheng's painfully twisted expression and sneered even more.
"Things that don't know whether to live or die."
Mi Yingzong also narrowed his eyes.
"This kid is interesting. He actually dares to try to absorb the energy of Burning Heaven Valley?"
Gu Sheng has no time to care about external comments at this moment.
All his heart Divine Capital was focused on the violent energy in his body.
"Nine Revolutions Profound Sun Art" is racing, trying to tame this force. But the energy was so ferocious that I almost lost control several times.
"There's no rush."
Gu Sheng warned himself in his heart.
He recalled what his master had said.
"The power of the Supreme Sun is like a fierce horse, and it must be overcome with softness."
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng changed his strategy. Instead of forcibly suppressing it, he guided the energy to circulate along a specific route.
With each cycle, the energy becomes more docile, and at the same time, his meridians become tougher under the wash of violent energy.
Gradually, the trembling of Gu Sheng's body began to weaken, and his breathing became steady.
The originally violent energy was now like a tamed beast, obediently operating according to the route of "Nine Revolutions Profound Sun Art", and finally sank into the Dantian.
"Huh——" Gu Sheng took a long breath and opened his eyes, with a red light in his eyes.
This scene stunned the monks who were watching.
"Did he succeed?"
"How is that possible! That's Burning Heaven Valley energy that even Earth Palace Peak can't refine!"
"This kid is weird!"
Hong Yun's face was uncertain, and he suddenly strode towards Gu Sheng.
Mi Yingzong touched the scar on his chin and squinted at Gu Sheng who was practicing.
"Otherwise, with Earth Palace stage's cultivation, how could he possibly refine Burning Heaven Valley's energy?"
Not far away, Hong Yun snorted and opened his eyes.
"Even if there are treasures to help him, his gains will be minimal. It would be more practical to just hold on here and go back up there to practice."
"Foolish approach."
Mi Yingzong shook his head with sarcasm on his face.
"How can the energy deep in Burning Heaven Valley be so easy to absorb? Forcibly refining it will only damage the foundation."
The conversation between the two was unabashed and came clearly to Gu Sheng's ears.
Gu Sheng thought - this is a good excuse.
He pretended not to hear and continued to practice with his eyes closed. In fact, he secretly observed the reactions around him.
Hong Yun felt bored when he saw Gu Sheng had no response, so he closed his eyes again and entered the cultivation state.
Mi Yingzong also shrugged, turned and walked towards his training position.
Seeing this, the other monks withdrew their gazes and no longer paid attention to this young man who "didn't know the heights of heaven and earth".
"Huh——" Gu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one was paying attention, just in time to try that dangerous idea.
He temporarily stopped the operation of "Nine Revolutions Profound Sun Art" and focused on his physical body.
Although the damaged foundation in Profound Nether Sacred Mountain has been restored, under the terrifying pressure here, he was surprised to find that there was still room for improvement in the foundation.
"The greater the pressure, the greater the potential."
Gu Sheng recalled Master's previous teachings with determination in his eyes.
He began to slowly remove the spiritual defense shield on his body.
As the spiritual power weakens, pressure comes from all around. First, there was a tingling sensation on the skin, then the muscles began to tremble uncontrollably, and the bones made an overwhelming "gurgle" sound.
"Ahem!"
Gu Sheng's face turned red instantly, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat and he swallowed it forcefully.
He quickly put up the defensive shield again, his forehead already covered with cold sweat.
"Too reckless."
Gu Sheng wiped his sweat with lingering fear. At that moment, he felt like his whole body was about to be crushed into a meat pie.
After adjusting his breathing, Gu Sheng changed his strategy.
He no longer removes all defenses at once, but weakens the spiritual protection layer by layer like peeling an onion.
Each time a level weakens, stop and adapt for a moment until your body can bear it before continuing to the next level.
This almost masochistic practice brings heart-breaking pain.
Gu Sheng Veins popped up all over his body, and fine drops of blood oozed from the surface of his skin. In the blink of an eye, they were evaporated by the high temperature, leaving behind a thin layer of blood scab.
His teeth chattered, but he persisted and refused to give up.
"What is this kid doing?"
A monk in the distance noticed the abnormality of Gu Sheng and whispered in surprise.
Hong Yun opened his eyes slightly, glanced at them and closed them again.
"You're asking for trouble."
Mi Yingzong was thoughtful.
"Interesting. He is actually using Burning Heaven Valley pressure to temper his body?"
