He could feel that every inch of his skin was bearing pressure that could crush a mountain, and his bones made an overwhelming "crack" sound. But the strange thing is that the closer he is to this extreme state, the more active the mysterious power in his body becomes.
"It's not deep enough."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and took a sudden step forward.
In an instant, the energy around him hit him like a huge wave, his throat felt sweet, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
But he was not surprised but happy, because the power in his body was flowing at a faster speed, converting the violent energy that invaded his body into nutrients that nourished his body.
"As expected! The stronger the pressure here, the more active the thing will be!"
Gu Sheng moved forward again with excitement in his eyes.
He didn't know what the power in his body was. Ever since he accidentally obtained the strange jade pendant in the ancient ruins, his body had undergone earth-shaking changes. Now coming to Golden Crow Mountain, this change has reached an unprecedented level.
"Look! He's moving again!"
Exclamations came and went from the edge of the barrier.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched Gu Sheng strolling towards the depths that even the elders did not dare to easily step into.
"This is impossible! Even the master there said it would take at least Heavenly Palace Stage to bear it!"
A female disciple cried out.
Not far away, two Dao Body figures were quietly suspended in the energy tide, their faces as gloomy as water.
"Senior Brother Hong, what do you think?"
Mi Yingzong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a unwilling light in his eyes.
Hong Yun didn't answer immediately. He stared at Gu Sheng's back, clenching his fists.
As the first person in Qinghe Holy Land's younger generation to train, he never thought that one day he would be forced to this point by an unknown boy.
"Magic weapon? Secret technique? Or..."
Hong Yun has a deep voice.
"Does he really have such a terrifying body?"
Mi Yingzong sneered.
"No matter what he is, we can't let him continue to be so arrogant!"
Before he finished speaking, Mi Yingzong suddenly activated his spiritual power, and a layer of pale golden light appeared on his body.
He roared angrily and rushed in the direction of Gu Sheng.
"Junior Brother Mi! Don't be impulsive!"
Hong Yun's face changed drastically, but it was too late to stop him.
Mi Yingzong had just rushed out less than ten meters, when the surrounding energy suddenly exploded, cutting like thousands of sharp blades.
The golden light shield on his body shattered instantly, and his whole body spurted out a large mouthful of blood and flew back.
"Pfft——"
Mi Yingzong fell heavily to the edge of the barrier, his face pale.
Several disciples hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but were pushed away by him.
"Get away!"
Mi Yingzong struggled to stand up, his eyes bloodshot.
"I can continue!"
Hong Yun sighed and stepped forward to hold him down.
"Calm down, you'll only hurt yourself."
"Calm down?"
Mi Yingzong shook off Hong Yun's hand and pointed at Gu Sheng in the distance.
"Look at him! How can a disciple who has just entered the inner sect do what we have been unable to do after years of hard training?"
Hong Yun Silence.
Why doesn't he feel aggrieved?
As Qinghe Holy Land recognized as a body-training genius, he has had high hopes since he was a child. But now, all the halo has been taken away by Gu Sheng who suddenly appeared.
"Let's try again."
Hong Yun said suddenly, with determination in his eyes.
Mi Yingzong was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing ferociously.
"This is the Senior Brother Hong I know!"
The two looked at each other and started running their skills at the same time. Fine scale-like patterns appeared on the surface of Hong Yun, which was a sign that he had mastered the family tradition "Profound Scale Art" to a small degree.
Mi Yingzong's muscles swelled and his veins popped out, and he performed "Hegemon Body Art", which was the best in the world.
"Let's go!"
With a low drink, the two of them rushed into the depths of energy again.
This time, they advanced five meters further than before, but were eventually forced back by the terrifying pressure.
"Damn it!"
Mi Yingzong punched the ground, and the ground suddenly cracked.
Hong Yun also looked gloomy. He looked at Gu Sheng who had turned into a Little Black figure, and felt an unprecedented sense of frustration in his heart.
"How on earth did he do it."
At the same time, at the outermost edge of the energy tide, Ling Xiao held a jasper token in his hand, his face uncertain.
This priceless protective magic weapon allowed him to practice in the safest area, but even so, he did not dare to go deep easily.
"Gu Sheng."
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes.
"What secrets do you have?"
He recalled a scene he accidentally saw a few days ago - when Gu Sheng was practicing, there was a strange light flashing in his chest.
The light was fleeting, but it made Ling Xiao feel Array Core frightened.
"Is it legendary?"
Ling Xiao shook his head, not daring to continue thinking.
If the guess is true, then the value of Gu Sheng is far beyond that of a genius disciple.
Deep in the energy tide, Gu Sheng finally stopped.
He sat cross-legged and allowed the violent energy to wash over his body.
If someone could observe closely, they would find that his body was glowing with a faint silver light, and each energy impact would make the silver light stronger.
"It's almost. It's almost a breakthrough."
Gu Sheng can feel that he is only one step away from the second turn.
This body-training technique obtained from ancient ruins is so overbearing that ordinary monks cannot even endure the first turn.
But with the mysterious power in his body, Gu Sheng is about to complete its second turn in just a few months.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the surrounding energy vibrated violently, and a pressure several times stronger than before came.
Gu Sheng groaned, and blood oozed from all the orifices at the same time. But he was not surprised but overjoyed, because this was the best opportunity for a breakthrough!
"Break it for me!"
Gu Sheng roared angrily, and the power in his body erupted like a volcano.
In an instant, his body surface glowed with silver light, forming a dazzling pillar of light in the crimson energy tide, soaring straight into the sky.
"What is that?!"
At the edge of the barrier, all the disciples looked at the pillar of light that soared into the sky in shock.
Even Hong Yun, who had always remained calm, opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face.
"Physical vision. This is the legendary physical vision!"
A well-informed disciple cried out.
Ling Xiao The jasper token in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", but he didn't notice it. He just stared in the direction of the light beam and muttered to himself.
"Sure enough. It's really that thing."
The beam of light lasted for about half a quarter of an hour before gradually dissipating.
When the energy tide returned to calm, Gu Sheng's figure had disappeared.
"Where did he go?"
someone asked tremblingly.
No one answered. Everyone was immersed in the shocking scene just now, and could not calm down for a long time.
Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong looked at each other, and both saw unprecedented solemnity in each other's eyes.
From today on, the situation of Qinghe Holy Land may undergo earth-shaking changes.
And in the deepest part of the energy tide that no one can see, Gu Sheng is suspended in a strange space.
The pressure here is strong enough to crush the Tiangong monks in an instant.
But at this moment, Gu Sheng was smiling and feeling the surging power in his body.
"Finally, the second transfer is completed!"
He looked down at his chest, where there was a mark in the shape of a jade pendant that was emitting a soft light.
This unexpected jade pendant not only changed his destiny, but also allowed him to see the possibility of reaching the top.
"Not enough"
Gu Sheng clenched his fists, his eyes burning with the flame of ambition.
"Golden Crow Mountain is the deepest part, I must go and see it!"
Golden Crow Mountain Deep in the depths, the red magma rolled and roared like an enraged giant beast.
The tongues of fire licked the rock walls, making the entire cave look like purgatory. The air was filled with hot breath, and every breath was like swallowing a mouthful of fire, burning the lungs.
Hong Yun stood on the edge of the magma, his naked upper body covered with fine beads of sweat, which was instantly evaporated by the high temperature.
He stared closely at the blurry figure in front of him, with unwillingness in his eyes.
"Mi Yingzong, how long can you hold on?"
Hong Yun's voice sounded particularly low amidst the roar of the magma.
A few meters away, Mi Yingzong knelt on one knee, holding his hands on the hot rocks, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
He raised his head, revealing a face that was burned red by the heat.
"Hong Yun, don't be too proud. I will surpass you sooner or later."
"Ha!"
Hong Yun sneered.
"With what you look like now? You can't even stand still."
Mi Yingzong gritted his teeth and stood up with force.
His legs trembled slightly, but he stubbornly took a step forward.
The heat wave of magma rushed towards his face, as if it was going to melt his whole body.
"I, Mi Yingzong, never give up!"
He roared low, and the skills in his body were operating to the extreme, and a faint golden light appeared on the surface of his skin.
Hong Yun had surprise in his eyes, and then sneered.
"Okay, very good. I want to see how long you can last."
The air between the two seemed to solidify, and the roar of magma became the background sound.
This short distance of a few meters represents a huge gap in physical strength.
If you take another step forward, you may end up being shattered to pieces.
Suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation deep in the magma.
A Dao Body shadow shuttled through the hot magma like a swimming fish, diving deeper.
"It's that Gu Sheng again!"
Mi Yingzong gritted his teeth.
"Why can he go so deep?"
Hong Yun squinted his eyes, looking at the figure gradually disappearing into the depths of the magma, and felt an indescribable jealousy in his heart.
The two of them were listed as Qinghe Holy Land's top five body refiners with the strongest potential, and the resources they obtained far exceeded those of ordinary core disciples.
But now, he is left far behind by an unknown boy.
"I heard that Daoist Yong'an gave him a treasure."
Hong Yun whispered.
"Otherwise, with his strength, how could he possibly go further than us?"
"Hmph!"
Mi Yingzong snorted coldly.
"What's the point of relying on external objects? A true body refiner should rely on his own strength!"
Having said that, both of them knew that Gu Sheng's progress was indeed astonishing.
In a short period of time, his physical strength had increased to a staggering level.
Deep in the magma, Gu Sheng felt the increasingly dense energy around him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
His skin took on a strange red-gold color under the high temperature, as if it had merged with the magma.
"The yang energy here is tailor-made for "Nine Dragon Qiankun Art"."
Gu Sheng thought to himself, with excitement in his eyes.
He looked up and looked deeper, where there seemed to be a small sun rising and falling, emitting dazzling golden light.
Yang Qi spreads like substance, and you can feel the speed of the exercises in your body accelerating with every breath.
"If only I could go deeper."
Gu Sheng felt an impulse in his heart, but then shook his head.
"No, my current physical body is not strong enough to withstand the deeper pressure."
He closed his eyes and started running "Nine Dragon Qiankun Art". The energy in the body is like a rushing river, circulating back and forth in the meridians.
With each cycle, you can feel the subtle changes in the physical body - stronger, stronger, and more able to withstand the test of this extreme environment.
"Long Teng, that guy, must be jumping in a hurry now, right?"
Gu Sheng suddenly thought of the core disciple who had been trying to cause trouble for him, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
As his strength increases, his fear of Long Teng is gradually weakening.
He was even looking forward to a battle with Long Teng to see how big the gap was between himself and his core disciples.
"Give me some more time."
Gu Sheng continues to dive downwards.
Above the magma, Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong have given up the idea of chasing Gu Sheng.
They instead focused on each other, secretly competing.
"Mi Yingzong, I think you can't hold it anymore?"
Hong Yun deliberately stimulated.
"It's better to quit now and save yourself from making a fool of yourself later."
"Fart!"
Mi Yingzong stared angrily.
"When did I, Mi Yingzong, ever shrink back? You, on the other hand, look so ugly. Could it be that you have reached your limit?"
Hong Yun's face darkened. Indeed, he was close to his limit. The energy in the body is almost exhausted, and if you continue to do so, you may damage your foundation.
But as proud as he is, how could he show weakness in front of Mi Yingzong?
"Then let's see who falls first!"
Hong Yun roared, forcibly operated the technique, and took another half step forward.
This step almost exhausted all his strength.
The heat wave of magma rushed towards his face, as if it was going to set his whole body on fire. There was a sharp burning sensation on his skin, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to retreat.
Mi Yingzong saw this with a ruthless look in his eyes.
The skills in his body were running wildly, and he actually took half a step forward.
The two were in a stalemate again, with neither one willing to give in first.
As time passed, the roar of the magma seemed to become more violent.
Hong Yun's vision began to blur and his body was crumbling.
"No more"
Hong Yun thought to himself.
"If you continue like this, you will really die here."
He turned his head to look at Mi Yingzong with difficulty and found that the other party's condition was not much better.
Their eyes met, and they both saw the same thought in each other's eyes - admit defeat.
But no one was willing to speak first.
At this moment, there was a sudden violent fluctuation deep in the magma.
A golden light rose into the sky and illuminated the entire cave.
Gu Sheng's figure loomed in the golden light, like a god descending to earth.
"That guy broke through again?"
Hong Yun's eyes widened in shock.
Mi Yingzong was also stunned.
"How is this kind of progress possible?"
The golden light gradually dissipated, and Gu Sheng's figure sank into the depths of the magma again.
But the shock of that moment has been deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Hong Yun finally made up his mind.
"Mi Yingzong, you win this time. I want to take the first step."
"What?"
Mi Yingzong was stunned for a moment, then said angrily.
