He looked at his blood-stained body and surroundings, then looked at Xiao Mengdie, whose face turned pale with fear, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Miss Xiao, good morning."
Gu Sheng spoke calmly, as if he just woke up and said hello.
"You you."
Xiao Mengdie pointed at Gu Sheng, his fingers trembling.
"Are you practicing cultivation or committing suicide?"
Gu Sheng stood up and moved his muscles, making a crackling sound in the joints all over his body.
He wiped the blood off his face and smiled.
"It's just a secret technique. These are the impurities and blood congestion discharged after condensing the foundation."
"Condensing the foundation?"
Xiao Mengdie looked at him suspiciously.
"How can one condense the foundation like this? My father said that the foundation must be built step by step."
Her words stopped abruptly, because a powerful wave of true energy suddenly broke out from Gu Sheng!
"This is."
Xiao Mengdie eyes widened.
Gu Sheng was also stunned, feeling the true energy surging in his body.
Last night, he broke through nine fatal points in a row, and his true energy surged through his meridians. Unknowingly, he had crossed the bottleneck of the seventh and eighth levels of the Black Tortoise Realm, and was now launching an impact on the Earth Martial Realm!
"Not good!"
Gu Sheng's face changed slightly. Breaking through the Earth Martial Realm requires a stable environment and someone to protect you, otherwise it is easy to go crazy.
Xiao Mengdie also sensed the abnormality, and her pretty face changed color.
"You want to break through the Earth Martial Realm? Here?"
Gu Sheng smiled bitterly.
"It seems so."
"Are you crazy!"
Xiao Mengdie stamped his feet anxiously.
"How dangerous it is to break through the Earth Martial Realm. You are not even prepared! I will find my father to protect you right now!"
"Be born to die, break to stand!"
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, with true energy surging in his body.
After the nine fatal points were penetrated, the meridians all over his body seemed to have been opened up to a great avenue to the sky, and the true energy was rushing through it. Every cycle made his aura more powerful.
"Boom!"
A white rainbow of true energy soared into the sky from his Tianling Cap and penetrated into the sky.
Auspicious clouds gathered in the sky, forming a huge whirlpool, as if the world was cheering for this moment of breakthrough.
Outside the hospital, Xiao Mengdie's red lips were slightly open, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"How is this possible? Black Tortoise Realm's breakthrough Earth Martial Realm can actually cause strange phenomena in the heaven and earth?"
She had witnessed with her own eyes the spectacular scene when her father Xiao Xuance broke through to the sect realm, but that was the breakthrough of a high-level monk after all.
And Gu Sheng is just promoted from the Black Tortoise Realm to the Earth Martial Realm, but it is simply unheard of to cause such a strange phenomenon.
"Whoosh——"
A Dao Body shadow pierced the sky, Xiao Xuance came from the sky, and the broad-sleeved robes rustled in the wind.
He stared at the small courtyard where Gu Sheng was, with shock in his eyes.
"The lower the level of the person who triggers the vision, the more heaven-defying his talent will be."
Xiao Xuance murmured to himself.
"I'm afraid this son's future achievements will not be below the king's level, or even..."
He did not continue speaking, but made a hand seal with his hands, and his powerful mental power and infuriating energy instantly blocked the space within a hundred feet.
"Myriad Spirits Palace disciples obey the order!"
Xiao Xuance's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Nothing about what I saw and heard today is allowed to be spread to outsiders. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished as treason and will not be punished with death!"
The disciples were as silent as a cicada. Although they were whispering in private, no one dared to discuss it loudly.
At this time, Gu Sheng, who was at the center of the breakthrough, was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
His consciousness was immersed in a wonderful state, as if he was in the vast starry sky, and his whole body was wrapped in countless spiritual energy.
"Earth Martial Realm, the true energy sublimates, condenses into the sea"
Gu Sheng With a thought in his mind, the nine fatal points in his body crazily swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pouring into his body.
Ordinary warriors can break through the Earth Martial Realm only by receiving spiritual energy irrigation once, but because he has nine acupoints penetrated, the amount of spiritual energy he needs is several times that of ordinary people.
"Not enough, not enough!"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly. He could feel that the true energy in his body was undergoing a qualitative change, gradually transforming from a gaseous state to a liquid state, but this process required too much energy.
At this moment, Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron suddenly vibrated, and the nine dragon patterns on Ding's body seemed to come to life, and it opened its mouth to spit out nine rays of light of different colors.
These brilliance intertwined in the air, and finally turned into a colorful light pillar, pouring directly into the Gu Sheng Tianling.
"This is."
Gu Sheng was shocked, and felt an unprecedented amount of pure energy pouring into his body, instantly filling his meridians and Dantian. The speed of the liquefaction of the true energy suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, a small "ocean of true energy" was formed in the Dantian.
"Earth Martial Realm, done!"
Gu Sheng was overjoyed, but before he could fully appreciate the mystery of the new realm, a sudden change occurred!
Deep in the sea of his consciousness, a soft "Huh" suddenly sounded, followed by an old voice echoing in his mind.
"It has been tens of thousands of years. I finally waited for a decent successor."
Gu Sheng was shocked. Based on his experience in his previous life, Northern Star Pill Emperor, he naturally knew what this meant - a strong person had left a spiritual imprint in his sea of consciousness!
"Who?"
Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice in the sea of consciousness.
An illusory figure slowly emerged. It was an old man with white beard and hair, his face was kind but majestic.
The old man was wearing a simple Daoist robe with thirty-six star patterns embroidered on the cuffs. His whole person exuded an aloof and aloof atmosphere.
"No need to panic, little one."
The old man smiled slightly.
"I am the founder of Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves Divine Art. This spiritual projection was left from back then, just to wait for the destined person."
Gu Sheng felt a storm in his heart.
It is already difficult for spiritual power to exist independently from the sea of consciousness, but this projection can exist for tens of thousands of years. How terrifying is this old man's cultivation?
"Senior."
Gu Sheng saluted respectfully.
"Junior Gu Sheng, I wonder if senior has any advice?"
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, you have a calm mind, neither arrogant nor impetuous. The fact that you can trigger the mark left by me when you break through means that you have initially mastered the method of getting started with Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves Divine Art."
Gu Sheng felt something in his heart.
"Senior, are you saying that the technique I practice was created by you?"
"Exactly."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
"Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves Divine Art means 'there are thirty-six Grotto-Heaven blessed places in the human body'. Each time you open one, you can gain a special ability. You broke through nine fatal points last night, and you actually unintentionally opened the first Grotto-Heaven."
Gu Sheng suddenly realized that no wonder he felt some strange changes in his body after his breakthrough. It turned out to be because he opened the first Grotto-Heaven.
"Please give me some advice, senior."
Gu Sheng said sincerely.
The old man looked solemn.
"Time is limited. This projection of mine has existed for too long and is about to disappear. Now I will teach you the essence of Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves Divine Art."
After saying that, the old man opened his mouth and spat out, and countless golden runes poured out, directly rushing into the depths of the Gu Sheng sea of consciousness.
Gu Sheng's sea of consciousness is crumbling at this moment.
The inheritance information of Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves Divine Art poured down like Nine Heavens Silver River. Every drop of water was as heavy as a stone, and it shook his soul.
It was completely different from the silence when he was refining Ying's inheritance seeds. This time, the torrent of information was so violent that it seemed like it was going to explode his entire sea of consciousness.
"Uh-huh——"
A muffled groan was squeezed out from Gu Sheng's clenched teeth. Veins popped up on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
The secret technique of the double consciousness sea is running wildly, and second Sea of Consciousness can barely share the pressure of the main sea of consciousness. But even so, the pain of his soul being torn apart still made his eyes go black.
At the same time, his body was undergoing even more terrifying changes.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth with a radius of hundreds of miles rushed towards the cave where Gu Sheng was located. The concentration of spiritual energy was so high that a colorful vortex was formed outside the cave that was visible to the naked eye.
"This kid actually caused strange phenomena in the world."
The shadow stood a hundred feet outside the cave, the red lips under the black veil slightly opened, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
She originally wanted to get closer to check, but was forced back by the violent flow of spiritual energy.
Inside the cave, Gu Sheng's body was swallowing up massive amounts of spiritual energy like a bottomless pit.
The nine major acupoints have long been saturated, but they are still forced to accept more energy. Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the skin, and blood seeped out, turning him into a bloody man.
"Hang on!"
The old man's voice echoed in the sea of consciousness, carrying unquestionable majesty.
"Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves Divine Art is an ancient secret. Only those who have penetrated the nine fatal points and nine meridians are qualified to practice. Since you have met the conditions, don't let this great opportunity live up to you!"
Gu Sheng barely managed to remain clear-headed in the pain, smiling bitterly in his heart. Opportunity? This is obviously fatal torture! But he had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.
"Remember, don't attack the 36th Grotto-Heaven before you are absolutely sure."
The old man's voice gradually drifted away.
"The secret seal will be unlocked layer by layer as the fatal points are opened, so you can take care of yourself."
As the last word fell, the old man's figure disappeared like smoke.
Gu Sheng Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the nine major acupoints in his body suddenly trembled at the same time!
"Click——"
Subtle cracking sounds came from the body, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the nine acupoints.
Some ancient and mysterious power seeped out from the cracks, like a beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years slowly awakening.
"This is."
Gu Sheng looked inside his body and was shocked to find that some kind of qualitative change was taking place in the nine major acupoints. The space that originally stored the true energy is expanding and reconstructing, with a faint golden light glowing around the edges.
However, the side effects of transformation are equally terrifying. The massive amount of spiritual energy previously absorbed suddenly lost control and surged through the meridians.
Gu Sheng's body expanded as if it were inflated, and the blood vessels under the skin bulged, and he was about to explode and die!
At the critical moment, a dragon roar sounded from Dantian.
The phantom of Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron appeared out of thin air, with nine golden dragons swimming around the tripod. The mouth of the tripod glowed brightly, forming a strong suction force that swallowed up all the rampant spiritual energy.
"Buzz——"
The tripod shook violently, and the mottled rust on the surface began to peel off, revealing the bright golden lines underneath.
A golden light shot out from the cauldron, split into nine parts in the air, and accurately landed on the nine major acupoints.
"Boom!"
Nine acupoints burst out with dazzling light at the same time.
Gu Sheng I felt a warm current rushing through my body. The previous pain was swept away, replaced by an unprecedented sense of strength.
"Grotto-Heaven. Is this Grotto-Heaven?"
Gu Sheng looked inside at the nine acupoints that had completely transformed, and was extremely shocked.
An independent space is formed inside each orifice, which is completely different from the previous one.
More amazing changes are yet to come. As Nine Grotto-Heavens took shape, the spiritual energy remaining in his meridians began to automatically transform into pure pure energy, pushing his cultivation level to rise.
Earth Martial Realm Double. Triple and quadruple!
In just a short moment, Gu Sheng broke through the third level in a row, and it was not until Earth Martial Realm that the fourth level gradually stabilized.
This kind of breakthrough speed is unheard of in the entire history of the Myriad Spirits Palace.
"Not good!"
Gu Sheng was suddenly alerted. Such a big movement must have alarmed Myriad Spirits Palace's senior management.
He quickly restrained his breath, and Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron's shadow also disappeared into his body.
Sure enough, in less than half a quarter of an hour, two Dao Body shadows came out of the air, it was Xiao Xuance and Xiao Mengdie father and daughter.
"Gu Sheng, you."
Xiao Xuance landed in front of the cave, his eyes sweeping over the whirlpool of spiritual energy that had not yet dissipated around him, his face unable to conceal his shock.
"Did you cause the vision of heaven and earth just now?"
Gu Sheng had already tidied up his clothes and saluted respectfully.
"I just lucked out and had some insights. I didn't expect it would cause such a big movement."
Xiao Mengdie's beautiful eyes moved, looking Gu Sheng up and down, and suddenly let out a light sigh.
"Your cultivation is at the fourth level Earth Martial Realm? I remember that three days ago you were at the first level Earth Martial Realm."
"What?"
Xiao Xuance was also shocked when he heard this. His consciousness swept over Gu Sheng. After confirming that what his daughter said was true, his eyes became brighter.
"Break three levels in a row? Gu Sheng, what opportunity did you get?"
Gu Sheng was shocked in his heart, but remained calm on the outside.
"Nephew, I don't know either. When I was practicing, I suddenly felt an unusual affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and a large amount of spiritual energy poured into my body on my own. This was it when I woke up."
Xiao Xuance is such a person, it is natural to see that Gu Sheng is hiding something.
But he didn't point it out, instead he smiled meaningfully.
"What a 'sudden feeling'. However, it is really inconvenient to ask about personal opportunities on the path of cultivation. I came here today to discuss with you how to solve the current predicament. Since you have just made a breakthrough, why not stabilize your cultivation first and come back to see you tomorrow."
"Thank you Uncle Xiao for your understanding."
Gu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Mengdie hesitated to speak, and finally just took a deep look at Gu Sheng and left with his father.
After the two figures disappeared into the sky, a chuckle suddenly came from behind Gu Sheng.
"You don't even blink when you lie. It seems I chose the right person."
Gu Sheng Turned around suddenly, and saw Ying standing in the cave at some point. At this moment, she actually took off her veil for the first time, revealing a face that would captivate a country.
Different from the elegance and refinement of Xiao Mengdie, the beauty of the shadow is a bit eerie and dangerous, especially those eyes that seem to be able to swallow people's souls.
"Have you finished it?"
Ying asked directly, staring at Gu Sheng with burning eyes.
Gu Sheng nodded.
"All nine fatal acupoints have been opened, and the foundation has indeed greatly increased. When the breakthrough was made, the nine major acupoints simultaneously drew spiritual energy, which caused the cultivation level to skyrocket."
When Ying heard this, there was a complex look in his eyes, with both envy and a bit of relief.
"Very good. Remember our agreement. When you go to the Central Continent, you need to help me kill the Holy Son of the Bitter Sea."
"Don't worry, I, Gu Sheng, will keep my word."
Gu Zheng nodded and then changed the subject.
"But with my current strength"
"Of course I know you are not qualified."
Ying interrupted him, his red lips slightly raised.
"But with Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves Divine Art and my assistance, within three years, you will be qualified to fight the Son of the Bitter Sea."
Gu Sheng was about to respond when his expression suddenly changed and he suddenly raised his head to look at the southeastern sky.
A glaring sense of crisis arose spontaneously, making the hairs on his body stand on end.
