Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron was suspended in mid-air, vibrating violently, and a cracking sound of "clicking, clicking" came from the cauldron.
Gu Sheng could clearly feel that some kind of change that he couldn't understand was happening inside the cauldron.
"This tripod is refining Southern Emperor Seal on its own?"
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with light. He made a decisive decision and sat cross-legged on the ground. He slapped the tripod with both palms and poured in a steady stream of strong true energy.
"Since you want to practice, I will help you!"
With the injection of true energy, the dragon pattern on the surface of Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron becomes clearer and clearer, and nine dragon shadows swim around the body of the tripod, emitting a low dragon roar.
The cauldron is filled with brilliance, and Southern Emperor Seal can be vaguely seen floating in it, and the surface texture is being peeled off little by little.
"This is the materialization of Tao Yun!"
Gu Sheng Pupillary contraction.
I saw the golden threads peeled off the surface of Southern Emperor Seal intertwined in the tripod, gradually forming a mysterious scripture.
Every character contains the truth of heaven and earth. Gu Sheng feels dizzy just by looking at it.
"No, the realm is not enough. Forced enlightenment will hurt the soul!"
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and continued to inject Qi, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron seemed to sense his exertion, and the nine dragon shadows suddenly separated from the tripod and circled around Gu Sheng, forming a strange formation.
"Is this an auxiliary formation?"
Gu Sheng was surprised to find that his energy consumption dropped sharply, while the refining speed in the cauldron increased several times.
As time passed by, the brilliance in the cauldron gradually dimmed.
Gu Sheng knew that this was a sign of insufficient energy, so he immediately bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the tripod.
"Keep practicing!"
As the essence and blood blended in, Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron let out a thundering buzz, and its brilliance skyrocketed again.
Cracks have appeared on the surface of Southern Emperor Seal, and more golden Daoyun silk threads have been pulled out.
suddenly
"Ah!!"
A shrill scream came from the cauldron, causing Gu Sheng's eardrums to hurt.
A vague humanoid shadow struggled out of Southern Emperor Seal, rushing left and right in the cauldron.
"This is the remnant soul?!"
Gu Sheng took a deep breath.
The humanoid figure was blurry, but the pressure it exuded made Gu Sheng feel like it had fallen into an ice cave.
If it weren't for Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron's suppression, this pressure alone would be enough to destroy his soul!
"Let me out."
The phantom emits intermittent mental fluctuations, full of resentment and unwillingness.
Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron seemed to be angered, and the nine dragon shadows returned to the tripod body at the same time, turning into nine light chains and locking the shadows tightly.
The shadow let out an even more shrill scream, and its figure gradually twisted.
Gu Sheng tries to communicate with Soul Power.
"Who are you? Why are you in Southern Emperor Seal?"
"Ant. Don't deserve to know."
The shadow struggled to respond, full of contempt.
Gu Sheng sneered.
"You are the one being refined now, so what's the use of being tough?"
He increased the output of his true energy, and Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron was refining faster.
The phantom became thinner and thinner, and finally exploded with a "bang", turning into a translucent ball of light suspended in the cauldron.
"Is this the pure essence of Tao Yun?"
Gu Sheng looked at this scene in shock.
Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron slowly stopped running, spit out the ball of light, and floated it in front of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng stretched out his hand to touch it, and the ball of light immediately turned into a stream of light and sank into his eyebrows.
"Boom!"
A large amount of information exploded in his mind, Gu Sheng groaned, and blood oozed from all his orifices.
He endured the severe pain and found that there was a complete exercise in his mind. "Southern Emperor's Longevity Dao"!
"I see. Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron can not only refine Tao Yun, but also transform it into passive Tao Yun and absorb it directly!"
Gu Sheng was surprised and happy.
But then his expression changed, and the true energy in his body was almost exhausted.
Gu Sheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately turned on Grotto-Heaven in the body, drawing spiritual energy from the void to replenish it.
"This consumption is too terrible"
Gu Sheng smiled bitterly.
"But the rewards are worth it."
He looked inside his Dantian and found that the ball of light was slowly releasing Tao Yun and merging with his true energy.
At this rate, complete digestion would take at least a month.
At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in the center of Xiaguang City.
"What did you say? Southern Emperor Seal's induction disappeared?"
Miao Muqing stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand shattered.
Standing in front of her was a gorgeous woman dressed in purple, with a delicate but sinister face.
"Xinglan, what's going on?"
Miao Muqing frowned, and his slender fingers unconsciously rubbed the jade pendant around his waist. The jade pendant engraved with ancient runes was glowing with a faint purple light at the moment.
Nangong Xing Lan knelt on one knee, her black outfit outlined her strong figure, and the few strands of hair in front of her forehead were soaked with sweat. It was obvious that she had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Reporting to Saintess, Purple Cloud Divine Sect's Wangjing Ancestor suddenly took action and tried his best to prevent Grotto-Heaven from opening. He seems to have doubted my identity."
"Oh?"
Miao Muqing's eyes flashed with cold light, and a crack appeared in the jade pendant in his hand with a "pop" sound.
"The old guy has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, why did he suddenly come out?"
"It's more than that."
Nangong Xing Lan raised his head with solemn eyes.
"Purple Cloud Divine Sect There have been a few new faces recently, and their auras are as thick as the abyss. At least they are all king-level experts. And"
She paused.
"These people are definitely not the original people of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect."
Miao Muqing walked slowly to the window, and the sky outside the window was full of Zixia, which was a sign that Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven was about to open.
Her slender back looked particularly aloof under the sunlight. "
Can Grotto-Heaven still be turned on on time? "
"Although we have infiltrated most of the top brass of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, these king-level experts suddenly appeared."
Nangong Xing Lan has a deep voice.
"If they join forces, we may face more than ten people from the King Realm."
"Ten King Realms."
Miao Muqing snorted softly and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"I do underestimate these old foxes."
She turned around, and her purple dress drew an elegant arc in the air.
"I'll figure it out, you just have to do your own thing."
"Yes!"
Nangong Xing Lan clasped his fists to accept the order, and was about to retreat when he suddenly noticed that Miao Muqing's figure swayed and he held onto the window lattice.
"Saintess?"
Nangong Xing Lan exclaimed.
Miao Muqing waved his hand, but his face instantly turned pale as paper.
"It doesn't matter, you go first"
Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell softly.
Nangong Xing Lan stepped forward to support her, but saw Miao Muqing's eyelashes trembling slightly and she opened her eyes again.
But the look in these eyes was completely different from before. The eyes that were originally as sharp as swords became as clear as water, with a bit of ignorance and innocence.
"Miss Mu Xue?"
Nangong Xing Lan asked tentatively.
"Sister Xinglan!"
Miao Muqing. Or Mu Xue, who was in control of this body at the moment, showed a bright smile and reached out to hug Nangong Xing Lan, but was avoided by the latter without leaving a trace.
"Miss Mu Xue, Saintess her."
"Sister, I'm too tired. Let me come out for some air."
Mu Xue pouted, like a child who had been robbed of candy.
"She's always like that, pushing herself too hard when she's in trouble."
Nangong Xing Lan had a complicated look in his eyes.
As Miao Muqing's confidant, she knows better than anyone else that there are two souls living in this body: the decisive sister Miao Muqing, and the innocent sister Mu Xue.
"Miss Mu Xue, would you like to rest first?"
"No!"
Mu Xue suddenly jumped to the window and pointed at Zixia in the sky.
"Sister Xinglan, look at these beautiful clouds! My sister said this is what Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven is about to open, but I think it's just an ordinary sunset."
Nangong Xing Lan followed helplessly.
"Miss Mu Xue, this is indeed a sign that Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven is turned on. Your sister..."
"I know, I know!"
Mu Xue turned around and made a face.
"Sister is always mysterious. By the way, sister Xinglan, I'm hungry. Is there any osmanthus cake?"
Two hours later, when Miao Muqing's soul regained control of her body, she was curled up on the bed, holding half of an uneaten osmanthus cake in her hand.
She sat up slowly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
"Things are getting worse"
She looked down at her hands, her fingertips trembling slightly.
She could feel that the time interval between each soul change was shortening, while the time for Mu Xue to control the body was lengthening.
"Must enter Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven as soon as possible."
Miao Muqing had determination in his eyes and raised his hand to play a transmission note.
A moment later, a black shadow appeared silently in the corner of the room, as if growing out of the shadows.
"Miao Wu, transfer five more kings."
Miao Muqing's voice was cold.
"I want to ensure that in Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven, our King Realm combat power is not inferior to that of any party in Seventy-two Divine Sects."
The black shadow shook slightly.
"Saintess, I'm afraid this will put our defense on other fronts."
"Just do it."
Miao Muqing interrupted him.
"The things in Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven are worth the price."
The black shadow was silent for a moment, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in the air.
At the same time, in a hidden valley thousands of miles away.
Gu Sheng is sitting cross-legged on a square of bluestone, Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron is suspended in front of him, and a milky white halo is constantly flowing in the cauldron.
After a whole night of tempering, the tenacious humanoid shadow in Southern Emperor Seal was finally completely refined.
"Finally."
Gu Sheng opened his eyes, and there seemed to be stars flowing in them.
He stretched out his hand, and the milky white halo slowly floated into his palm and integrated into his body without any hindrance.
In an instant, a majestic life force surged into his limbs and bones like a tide.
Gu Sheng can clearly feel that every inch of his muscles and every bone is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
"Is this the Daoist charm of Southern Emperor's Longevity Dao?"
Gu Sheng was surprised to find that these Daoist rhymes merged with him extremely smoothly, as if they belonged to him.
"No wonder Nan Huang was able to compete with many powerful Qi refining masters with his body refining methods."
With a thought in his mind, the energy and blood in his body surged and roared like a dragon in his meridians.
A faint golden light glowed on the surface of the body, and countless small runes could be vaguely seen running under the skin.
"The peak of the Nine Heavens, Indestructible Golden Body is first formed!"
Gu Sheng clenched his fists, and the air was squeezed to make a "crackling" sound.
He could feel that his current physical body was strong enough to withstand the attacks of ordinary King Realm experts without any damage.
"Nanhuang's way really integrates body refining and qi refining. It can be called Earth Martial Realm the ultimate."
Gu Sheng murmured to himself, his eyes falling on Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron with a complicated look in his eyes.
"This tripod"
Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron is suspended quietly, with nine dragon patterns wandering around the tripod, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Gu Sheng still remembers that it was this tripod that carried his soul through time and space, allowing him to be reborn in this world.
"Reincarnation and rebirth, refining all things"
Gu Sheng caressed the tripod body gently.
"Where are you from?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the entrance of the cave.
A familiar scent is approaching quickly.
"Why is she here?"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, then understood.
"Did you sense the fluctuations when I attained enlightenment?"
He waved his hand to put away Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron and straightened his robes.
After a moment, a purple figure floated over, it was Miao Muqing.
"What did you say?"
Miao Muqing Beautiful eyes widened, red lips slightly opened, looking at the calm man in front of her in disbelief.
"You actually understood Southern Emperor's Longevity Dao overnight?"
Gu Sheng stood in front of the window, the morning light shining through the window lattice on his angular profile, reflecting a faint golden glow.
A wisp of cyan air flow was entwined between his fingers. The air flow moved between his fingers like a living thing. Sometimes it turned into a lotus flower, and sometimes it condensed into ancient seal script. It was the unique "Green Lotus Qi" of Southern Emperor's Longevity Dao.
"Is it difficult?"
Gu Sheng turned his head, with doubts in his eyes.
"I think it's pretty simple."
Miao Muqing His chest rose and fell violently, and the veins on his fair neck were looming.
It took her three years to get started with Longevity Dao under the guidance of Nanhuang himself, but the man in front of her only used it for one night?
"You"
She suppressed the shock in her heart.
"It seems I still underestimated you."
Gu Sheng put away Green Lotus Qi and turned his eyes in the direction of Xiaguang City outside the window.
"Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven How is the situation over there?"
When it came to business, Miao Muqing's expression immediately became solemn.
"The situation is worse than expected. The ancestor of the Purple Cloud Divine Sect seems to have noticed something. The danger in Grotto-Heaven is far greater than I expected."
She paused.
"I have mobilized manpower from the Southern Emperor's lineage, but I'm afraid Seventy-two Divine Sects will also take action."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
"Tell me more specifically."
Miao Muqing bit his lower lip.
"If you want to quit now, I can arrange for someone to take you away Xiaguang City."
She looked directly into Gu Sheng's eyes.
"I never wanted to harm you. This change was really unavoidable."
"How serious is it?"
Gu Sheng's voice is still calm.
"Who entered Purple Cloud Grotto-Heaven."
Miao Muqing has a deep voice.
"It may result in severe injuries or even death. Including me."
The room fell silent for a moment.
The noisy sound of the market in the distance came from the window, which was in sharp contrast to the solemnity inside.
Gu Sheng suddenly turned around, his eyes as dark as abyss.
"What are your plans if I choose to stay?"
Miao Muqing was startled, then said seriously.
"The Nanhuang lineage owes you a great favor. As long as the survival of the Nanhuang lineage is not endangered, we will fully assist you with any request."
"Get your people here."
Gu Sheng said lightly.
"I need to know the details before I can decide whether to stay or go."
Not long after, three Dao Body figures appeared quietly in the room.
The leaders were two men shrouded in black robes. Their auras were as cold as knives. They were Miao Muqing's personal soldiers.
The third person is a young woman dressed in purple, with a delicate face but a bit tired.
"Mr. Gu."
The woman in purple bowed to Gu Sheng.
