In fact, Gu Sheng has entered a mysterious state at this time.
He deliberately created the illusion for Hong Yun to consume a lot of energy, but at the same time it also made his control of the technique more sophisticated.
As the spiritual defense shield weakened, he was actually able to withstand 70% of the pressure with his pure body, maintaining only a thin layer of spiritual power on the surface of his body as a disguise.
"Not enough"
Gu Sheng said silently in his heart.
He could feel that his body was like a piece of fine iron that had been tempered repeatedly. Every breakthrough in the pressure critical point caused a qualitative leap in his physique.
Skin, muscles, bones, internal organs. Every tissue is constantly reorganizing and evolving under horrific pressure.
Gu Sheng even had the illusion that he was transforming into a higher-level life form.
"Crack!"
An imperceptible sound came from within his body.
Gu Sheng's heart was shocked - this is a sign of the first breakthrough of "Nine Revolutions Profound Sun Art"!
He did not expect that practicing under such extreme pressure would loosen the bottleneck that had been stagnant for a long time.
Gu Sheng immediately gathered his mind and ran the technique with all his strength.
The hidden light golden lines on the body surface reappeared, this time more clearly, vaguely forming some kind of ancient totem pattern.
The surrounding magma seemed to be attracted by something and began to slowly rotate around Gu Sheng.
Hong Yun's thoughts rushed to Gu Sheng, with undisguised intentions of exploration.
This kind of behavior in Cultivation World is equivalent to taking off someone's clothes, but he doesn't care - the strong are respected, this is the eternal truth.
"Huh?"
Hong Yun frowned.
When his thoughts touched the spiritual defense shield on Gu Sheng's body, it was as if he had hit a wall of copper and iron, making it difficult to penetrate deep.
Hong Yun does not believe in evil and mobilizes more spiritual power to strengthen the investigation.
His thoughts turned into thin needles, trying to find the weak points of the defensive shield. That seemingly shaky layer of protection was actually airtight, blocking all his explorations.
"What a heavy defense!"
Hong Yun was secretly surprised.
"This is definitely not the quality of spiritual power that Earth Palace stage can have!"
He squinted his eyes and carefully observed the status of Gu Sheng.
The young man's face was pale, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. He looked like he might collapse at any time.
But the strange thing is that his breathing is unusually steady, and the rhythm of his chest rising and falling is as precise as a clock, and he doesn't look like he is at the end of a crossbow.
"Pretending to be real."
Hong Yun sneered in his heart, and then felt a burst of jealousy.
"It must be the effect of that rare treasure!"
Thinking of the word "exotic treasure", Hong Yun's heart felt hot.
A treasure that can allow people to withstand the pressure of Burning Heaven Valley at Earth Palace stage is at least a high-grade earth-level treasure, and may even be a heaven-level treasure!
This kind of important treasure, placed in the entire Qinghe Holy Land, is at the level of a treasure of the town.
"If you can get it."
Hong Yun's Adam's apple rolled, and there was greed in his eyes. But soon, reason overcame greed. "
No, he is a disciple of Daoist Yong'an. Then Old Monster is the most protective."
Hong Yun's face looked uncertain. Daoist Yong'an is a notoriously ruthless character from Qinghe Holy Land. His cultivation level has reached Earth Palace Peak, and he is only one step away from the Void Refining Realm.
More importantly, this old Daoist must retaliate. In order to vent his anger on his disciple, he once hunted down a Tiangong monk who had offended his disciple for three years, and finally crushed him to ashes.
"But."
Hong Yun had a cold look in his eyes.
"If it were done cleaner."
"Hong Baldy, do you see any clues?"
Mi Yingzong's voice interrupted Hong Yun's thoughts.
Hong Yun withdrew his thoughts and pretended to be calm.
"It's just a good defensive magic weapon. This guy's own cultivation is mediocre, and he relies entirely on external objects to support his appearance."
"Really?"
Mi Yingzong seems to be smiling but not smiling.
"Then please explain why his aura can be so stable? No matter how good the magic weapon is, the master needs to have the corresponding strength to activate it."
Hong Yun was speechless for a moment. This was what he was puzzled about - the quality of the spiritual power displayed by Gu Sheng was completely inconsistent with the realm of cultivation.
"Hmph!"
Hong Yun became angry with shame.
"If you don't believe it, go see it yourself!"
Mi Yingzong shrugged and actually released his mind to explore Gu Sheng.
After a moment, he retracted his thoughts with a playful expression on his face.
"Interesting, really interesting"
"What?"
Hong Yun frowned.
"Nothing."
Mi Yingzong grinned, showing his yellow teeth.
"I just suddenly felt that compared with others, we so-called geniuses are like toddlers."
Hong Yun's face suddenly turned pale.
He originally wanted to use Gu Sheng to make a fool of himself and save face, but he didn't expect that it would make himself even more embarrassed.
What made him even more annoyed was that Gu Sheng actually stabilized its footing at a depth of 100 meters, which made his previous assertion a joke.
"A mere underground palace is worthy of comparison with us?"
Hong Yun suddenly stood up, his whole body filled with spiritual energy.
"Today I will show you what real strength is!"
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Hong Yun strode downwards. With every step he took, the magma automatically separated a path.
His goal is clear - deeper than where Gu Sheng is!
"Senior Brother Hong is mighty!"
"This is the true style of a strong man!"
"What kind of ability does that kid have with magic weapons?"
The flattering sounds around him made Hong Yun blush a little.
He stopped when he reached a position thirty meters deeper than Gu Sheng.
As soon as he stopped, a pressure that was several times more terrifying than the upper level suddenly hit him. Hong Yun felt like he had been hit hard in the chest, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn."
Hong Yun cursed in his heart and endured the discomfort and sat down cross-legged.
The pressure here is far greater than expected, and every breath feels like thousands of steel needles are piercing into the lungs.
But he couldn't back down, otherwise where would he lose face?
Mi Yingzong laughed out loud when he saw this.
"Bald Hong, that's all you have? Look at me!"
With that said, he also walked down and came to a position level with Hong Yun.
As soon as he stopped, Mi Yingzong's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal.
What Hong Yun didn't notice was that Mi Yingzong secretly stuffed an elixir into his mouth under the cover of adjusting his robe.
"How?"
Mi Yingzong maintained his momentum and his voice was loud.
"I am not like some people who pretend to be cool!"
Hong Yun snorted coldly, stopped talking, and concentrated on fighting against the churning energy and blood in his body.
The two of them sat down cross-legged in a deeper area, acting like masters on the surface, but in fact they were secretly complaining.
"Senior Brother Hong and Senior Brother Mi are too strong!"
"This is the true body-refining expert!"
"Who is that kid? He dares to embarrass himself here with just a magic weapon!"
The monks were talking one after another, and many of them deliberately raised their voices, as if they were afraid that Gu Sheng wouldn't be heard.
Gu Sheng did hear it, but he was not moved at all. At this moment, he was immersed in a wonderful state.
As the spiritual power was operating under extreme pressure, he was surprised to find that the hidden dangers left by his previous rapid breakthrough were emerging one by one - a few subtle stagnations in the meridians, the uncoordinated flow of spiritual power in the Dantian, and the almost imperceptible weak points between the muscles and bones.
"That's it."
Gu Sheng suddenly felt enlightened. No wonder Master often said that practicing cultivation is like building a building. If the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake.
His previous breakthroughs were indeed too fast. Under the seemingly solid foundation, there were actually hidden flaws.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng became more determined to practice here.
He is no longer eager for success, but like a craftsman polishing rough jade, correcting minor deficiencies bit by bit.
Every breath makes the spiritual power circulate in the body one more time; every heartbeat makes the flesh and bones become closer together.
Above, Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong are in an increasingly difficult situation.
Hong Yun's face turned from red to white, and then from white to green.
The spiritual energy in his body was rapidly depleting, but the pressure around him did not decrease at all.
"Damn it. Keep this up."
Hong Yun was anxious, but he couldn't shrink back in public.
He glanced at Mi Yingzong secretly and found that his old opponent was also having a hard time - although he was holding on on the surface, the veins on his temples were bulging, and he was obviously holding on.
The two people's eyes met, and they both read the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
Whoever cannot hold on first will be disgraced!
"Senior Brother Hong really deserves his reputation!"
"Senior Brother Mi is no less impressive!"
"Two senior brothers are practicing here, it's really an eye-opener for us!"
The flattering sounds kept coming, but it made Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong feel even more bitter.
These compliments sounded like a reminder at the moment.
Just when the two were riding a tiger, Gu Sheng below suddenly made a new move. I saw him slowly getting up and walking down another ten meters!
"What?!"
Hong Yun's eyes widened and he almost screamed.
Mi Yingzong also took a breath of cold air, but was choked by the hot magma breath and coughed repeatedly.
Gu Sheng's new position is already twenty meters deeper than Hong Yun! This distance may not seem that far, but at the depth of Burning Heaven Valley, the pressure is drastically different for every additional meter.
What shocked the two of them even more was that Gu Sheng removed all spiritual defenses and resisted purely with his physical body! Pale golden lines began to appear on the surface of his skin, shining brightly in the dark red magma, like a god.
The whole place was silent. All the sarcastic words were stuck in the throat. Those monks who were flattering just now were like ducks being strangled by the neck, with their mouths open but unable to speak.
Gu Sheng The hot magma breath burned his lungs, but it made his mind clearer.
The light golden lines on the surface of the skin are looming, converting the surrounding violent energy into nutrients that nourish the body.
If he hadn't come to Golden Crow Mountain to practice, he would never have discovered the hidden dangers left by the rapid breakthrough.
The almost imperceptible stagnation in the meridians and the subtle disharmony of spiritual power in the Dantian are all time bombs on the road to spiritual practice in the future.
Thinking of Daoist Yong'an, Gu Sheng felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
The old man, who seemed strict but was actually kind, planned the safest path of practice for him, but he...
"Ten years, Dao Palace Realm."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth secretly.
This agreement was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, forcing him to take risks and take shortcuts.
But now, he has found a way to have the best of both worlds - taking advantage of the extreme environment of Golden Crow Mountain, he can not only consolidate his foundation, but also accelerate his practice.
Gu Sheng gathered his thoughts and looked at the situation inside his body again.
As "Nine Revolutions Profound Sun Art" is running, those minor flaws are being repaired bit by bit.
With every breath, the flesh, flesh and bones are undergoing subtle changes, just like fine iron being repeatedly tempered, the impurities are gradually removed, leaving only the essence.
"Not enough"
Gu Sheng opened his eyes and looked towards the deeper area below.
The magma there has a dark golden color, like molten metal, which makes people feel suffocated just by looking at it.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, Gu Sheng slowly stood up and stepped down.
"He's going to sink again?!"
"Crazy! Not even Senior Brother Hong dares to try it!"
"Look, he has even withdrawn his spiritual defense!"
Discussions came and went, but Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear.
Every step was like carrying a mountain on his back, and his bones made an overwhelming "crack" sound, but his eyes were firm and his steps were steady.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters.
When Gu Sheng came to the same position as Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong, there was a dead silence in the depths of Burning Heaven Valley.
Everyone held their breath and looked at this young man who had created a miracle.
Hong Yun's face was livid, and veins were popping on his forehead. Mi Yingzong squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Gu Sheng did not stop and continued downward. Fifty meters and sixty meters.
"Bastard thing!"
Hong Yun suddenly shouted loudly and stood up suddenly.
"Pretending!"
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Hong Yun's spiritual power surged all over his body, and he suddenly sank another twenty meters.
. As soon as he stopped, his face turned pale and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, but he held on and refused to retreat.
Mi Yingzong gritted his teeth when he saw this, and followed him.
But he was even more unbearable than Hong Yun. He groaned as soon as he sank ten meters, and quickly took out a pill and swallowed it.
"The two senior brothers are mighty!"
"This is the real strong man!"
"Who is that kid? He's just trying to impress people!"
The flattery sound sounded at the right time, but Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong's expressions became even more ugly.
Because they clearly saw that Gu Sheng not only did not stop, but went down another ten meters!
At this moment, Gu Sheng has reached an unprecedented depth.
The pressure here is more than ten times that of the upper level. The energy contained in the magma has almost condensed into substance, like thousands of steel needles constantly piercing the body.
"Uh"
Gu Sheng groaned, and blood began to ooze from the surface of his skin, but it was evaporated by the high temperature in an instant.
Those pale golden lines became clearer and clearer, vaguely forming some kind of ancient totem pattern.
Golden Crow Mountain In the fourth barrier, crimson energy surged, reflecting the entire training area like the inside of a furnace.
This is a forbidden area that can only be set foot by the core disciples of Qinghe Holy Land. Every ray of energy contains terrifying pressure that is enough to tear the physical body of an ordinary monk.
"Here we go again! That guy went deeper again!"
At the edge of the barrier, several core disciples gathered together, staring intently at the figure looming in the distance in the red energy.
Every inch the figure moved forward, the surrounding energy rolled like boiling water, emitting a heart-stopping hum.
"This is already the seventh day, and he can actually continue to go deeper."
One disciple's voice trembled and he almost dropped the jade record slip in his hand.
Everyone was silent, with disbelief written all over their faces.
As the core disciples of Qinghe Holy Land, who are usually not arrogant and arrogant?
But now, everyone's faith is crumbling in front of the young man named Gu Sheng.
Deep in the red energy, Gu Sheng closed his eyes tightly, and the muscles in his body were as tight as iron.
