Daily Cultivation, a Bizarre Island
Over the next few days, Xu Xingyu guided Gu Qiuxi on how to unleash skills without relying on Soul Ring, while also observing the differences in the energy and Soul Power of his body after being recharged.
In Xu Xingyu's view, the two are about the same in terms of energy level, but this energy seems to be linked to elemental power, and every time it is used, it inevitably brings elemental power with it.
Gu Qiuxi also deeply felt this. Originally, when she transformed into human form, she used her own Golden Dragon Bloodline and the Golden Dragon King Divine Core given to her by Xu Xingyu as a guide, so that her Martial Soul was ostensibly Golden Dragon, but in reality Golden Dragon King.
This action certainly granted Gu Qiuxi greater power, but it also caused her to lose the attributes of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light that she possessed during her Three-Eyed Golden Lion period.
Here, Gu Qiuxi discovered that she could once again utilize her Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light abilities. However, something was strange: her Ultimate Fire seemed unusual, as she didn't recall it being able to switch between gold and black.
Having seen a lot about this before, Xu Xingyu immediately recognized that the golden one was the ultimate Yang Fire, while the black one was the Ultimate Yin Fire.
Normally, unless there is an innate property issue, few people can use the Yin and Yang aspects of an element separately. In most cases, the attributes are the result of the fusion of Yin and Yang.
Xu Xingyu possessed this ability, but Gu Qiuxi had never had such experience before, thus confirming the unique nature of this plane itself.
As expected, the black and white colors of the crown they released represented the so-called balance of yin and yang.
Fortunately, this will not have any negative impact on them, because they can still use the flames that are not yet separated from Yin and Yang, and it will not affect their cultivation.
However, this cultivation system gave Xu Xingyu an increasingly familiar feeling. He was certain that he had read a novel about this plane when he was on Blue Star in his previous life, but because it had been so long, he could no longer remember which one it was.
Therefore, in order to determine which world they were in, in addition to teaching Gu Qiuxi to master her Soul Skill, Xu Xingyu also took the time to check their current location.
You don't know the result until you check. The more you check, the more your doubts are not resolved.
According to his observation, they were currently on an island, which appeared to be located in the middle of two continents and was enveloped by a lightning prison released by a so-called God Level powerhouse, making it impossible for any creature to leave the island.
The entire island is divided into eighteen layers.
The first to thirteenth layers are concentric circles, each circle progressing inwards. The outermost layer is the largest, decreasing in size towards the center. Each layer presents a different scene. The first layer is an endless forest; the second layer is a lush, undulating grassland; the third layer is almost entirely rolling hills; the fourth layer is relatively flat, but dotted with towering boulders; the fifth layer is a wetland with many small hills; the sixth layer consists of peaks five or six hundred meters high; the seventh layer is peaks over a thousand meters high; the eighth layer comprises three even taller, snow-capped peaks, within which lies a vast basin; the terrain becomes more complex from the ninth to the thirteenth layers, no longer a single type of landform, but a complex patchwork of lakes, forests, peaks, hills, swamps, and other diverse features. The twelfth layer is dominated by a large lake, surrounded mostly by forests.
The fourteenth to eighteenth levels consist of five mountains arranged in a cross shape, side by side without any particular order. These five mountains are each a different color. The mountain in the center of the cross is yellow, the one to the north is black, the one to the south is red, the one to the west is white, and the one to the east is cyan.
Although Xu Xingyu wanted to explore the island further, Xu Xingyu could clearly sense that a Demigod- level expert existed in each of the five mountains.
If he were alone, it wouldn't be so bad. Even if he couldn't defeat these powerful individuals, he would still be able to leave calmly. But if he also had to protect Gu Qiuxi in the middle, then the risk would be much higher.
Of course, what intrigued Xu Xingyu the most was this Thunder Prison that enveloped the entire structure. Just as mentioned before, this Thunder Prison was likely created by a God Level expert, or at least a peak Second-Level God god, according to Xu Xingyu's estimation.
This Thunder Prison's containment of the island isn't simply a matter of using lightning to isolate it; it's more like a spatial seal. Because of this Thunder Prison, the island appears to be located at the very center of two continents, but in reality, the space it inhabits is isolated from both continents.
Therefore, you could even say that this is a secret space opened up at the junction of two continents, similar to a small world, only not as large.
Although there are traces of humans on the island, judging from the positions they have established, they seem to have only been on the island for a short time.
The majority of the island's territory is still ruled by various kinds of beasts, and these beasts are far stronger than normally grown beasts due to the special nature of this space.
This made Xu Xingyu feel even more strongly that she should know the name of this world and should have seen the corresponding works, but considering that she still couldn't remember, she probably only glanced at them.
However, Xu Xingyu didn't dwell on this matter. Since he couldn't remember, he decided not to think about it for now, believing that he would remember it sooner or later.
As for any crises he might encounter along the way that he can't handle? Please, he possesses both God Level spirit and God Level body. Even if a true God Level powerhouse were to descend, he could withstand them for a period of time. Besides, what god, aside from that scoundrel Tang San, would willingly descend to the mortal realm to cause trouble for others?
Xu Xingyu believed that her luck wouldn't be so bad as to encounter another shameless god like Tang San or a plane invader like the Abyssal Sage King, since such beings were rare even among gods.
Just then, Gu Qiuxi's exclamation interrupted his thoughts, "Brother Xingyu, hurry up and do this!!!"
"What happened to Qiu'er?" Xu Xingyu asked in confusion. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problems. You know, Xu Xingyu had set up a barrier in this area beforehand, and under normal circumstances, no one or beast could trespass without permission.
However, the direction she pointed in next shocked him greatly. She pointed to the spot where his practice had just melted, where there was a huge ice pillar. What shocked Xu Xingyu was that there was someone inside that ice pillar!!!
