Chapter 912: Immortal Gu, Ayouduo was shocked!
Chapter 908: Immortal Gu, A Youduo is Shocked!
“Master’s Gu worm seems to have undergone some kind of qualitative change.”
A Youduo looked at the Peach Blossom Gu, which had begun its advancement, and immediately saw that the Peach Blossom Gu had greatly improved compared to when she had seen it in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss back then.
Its Qi aura was even more profound and extraordinary.
The pink glow and crystalline flower rain around its body seemed to flow with a dreamlike beauty and alluring power.
She quietly watched the Peach Blossom Gu’s advancement.
As the Peach Blossom Gu’s wings flapped and its Qi aura climbed, myriad peach blossom phantoms condensed and bloomed. The air seemed to be filled with a sweet fragrance.
The Gu worms on A Youduo’s body began to stir at this moment.
A Youduo was surprised, knowing that her Gu worms were being affected by her Master’s Gu worm.
But her Master’s Gu worm hadn’t even advanced to the fourth stage yet; could it really stir her Gu worms with just a hint of its Qi aura?
Her Nascent Soul Dharma power surged, isolating the Qi aura and calming her Gu worms.
Time passed bit by bit.
When the Peach Blossom Gu completely advanced to the fourth stage, and pink glow, crystalline flower rain, and peach blossom phantoms filled the sky, its Heavenly Tribulation appeared.
Layers of grey-black tribulation clouds condensed, permeated with purple-green Lightning, covering the phenomena caused by the Peach Blossom Gu’s advancement to the fourth stage.
This was the Peach Blossom Gu’s Heavenly Tribulation!
Even though this type of Gu worm Heavenly Tribulation was far less powerful than a Cultivator’s Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation or a Yao Beast’s transformation Heavenly Tribulation.
Its might was still very astonishing.
Even with the Formation isolation, the Five Poison Sect’s Cultivators still noticed the Heavenly Tribulation’s commotion on Five Sacred Peaks.
“This is a Heavenly Tribulation? How could a Heavenly Tribulation appear?”
“Could it be that the Sect Leader’s Spirit Beast is about to advance to the fourth stage?”
“No, this isn’t a transformation Heavenly Tribulation. It seems like a Gu worm Undergoing Tribulation. Has the Sect Leader refined a fourth-stage Gu worm!?”
The high-ranking Cultivators of the Five Poison Sect discussed animatedly, their expressions excited and fervent.
Whether it was a Spirit Beast advancing to the fourth stage or refining a fourth-stage Gu worm, both indicated that their Sect Leader’s strength had advanced further.
And with the Five Poison Sect Leader’s strength increasing, they would also gain benefits.
Just like when A Youduo retrieved the gu god bowl, after careful nurturing, the rare Gu worms refined were all used to Cultivate her subordinates and enhance the Five Poison Sect’s strength.
“Is this Father’s Gu worm?”
In the Five Saints Hall, Lu Jiangtang and her mother Yina looked from afar at the celestial phenomena caused by the Peach Blossom Gu’s advancement to the fourth stage.
Lu Changsheng didn’t mind his daughter and Yina observing his Gu worm Undergoing Tribulation.
However, his daughter was only at the Qi Refining cultivation, unable to see clearly and easily startled by the Heavenly Tribulation’s might and commotion, so he had her and Yina watch from here, separated by a Formation.
“Mm.” Yina nodded gently, her eyes filled with longing, yearning, and reverence.
Under the Five Poison Sect Leader’s careful cultivation, she had already Cultivated to the Core Formation ninth layer and possessed two third-stage Gu worms.
But Nascent Soul and fourth-stage Gu worms were still out of her reach.
She knew that her hope for Nascent Soul lay only with the Sect Leader and Master.
If the Sect Leader used the gu god bowl to Cultivate her Natal Gu worm to the fourth stage, then Nascent Soul would no longer be distant.
If Master were to help again and bestow resources, Nascent Soul would be within reach!
“Boom, boom, boom—”
The Heavenly Tribulation descended, striking towards the Peach Blossom Gu.
The Peach Blossom Gu, only the size of a thumb, was incredibly tiny in front of the purple-green Heavenly Tribulation, like a speck of Chensha in a storm, a sea of thunder.
But no matter how the Heavenly Tribulation struck, it remained unmoving, its body permeated with a pink, crystalline glow.
“Not bad.” Lu Changsheng’s pupils were interwoven with golden runes, and he could see that the Peach Blossom Gu was using the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to thoroughly fuse and digest the power of Peach Blossom Its Brilliance, and there was no danger.
A Youduo, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, also saw a hint of the situation. There seemed to be a mysterious, vast power within the Peach Blossom Gu.
“This is a Heaven And Earth Treasure that can help Gu worms advance!?”
A Youduo realized that the Peach Blossom Gu had consumed some kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure.
It was because of this that the Peach Blossom Gu had greatly improved compared to when she had seen it years ago, and had advanced to the fourth stage so quickly.
A Youduo sighed with envy. As expected of Master, to possess such a rare Gu Dao treasure that was hard to come by.
Under the gazes of Lu Changsheng and A Youduo, the Peach Blossom Gu passed its fourth-stage Heavenly Tribulation. Endless pink glow surged from the Void Realm, blooming with peach blossom phantoms, beautiful, splendid, fragrant, and sweet.
However, Lu Changsheng looked at the tribulation clouds gathering in the sky, still brewing, and couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s going on?” He was a bit puzzled.
The Peach Blossom Gu had already passed its fourth-stage Heavenly Tribulation, so why hadn’t the Heavenly Tribulation immediately dispersed?
But having Cultivated to this point, Old Ancestor Lu was also quite knowledgeable, and immediately guessed what was happening: “Yao Beasts have True Spirit Tribulation, so Gu worms also have Immortal Gu Tribulation?”
“This is the Immortal Gu Tribulation! Master’s Gu worm is going to advance to Immortal Gu?”
A Youduo looked at the brewing Heavenly Tribulation and instantly realized what was happening.
According to the Five Poison Sect’s Legacy records, not only refining and cultivating Immortal Gu, but also Heaven Spirit Gu advancing to Immortal Gu, would attract Heavenly Tribulation!
A Youduo was very surprised.
She hadn’t expected Master’s Gu worm to not only advance to the fourth stage but also continue to advance to Immortal Gu!
In an instant, a surge of longing and envy emerged from the depths of her heart.
Immortal Gu was something Cultivators of her Gu Dao dreamed of.
Since breaking through to Nascent Soul, she had been researching how to refine and Cultivate Immortal Gu.
Unfortunately, the Materials for cultivating and refining Immortal Gu were too rare. Even though she had retrieved the supreme treasure gu god bowl, it was difficult for her to gather all the Materials to refine Immortal Gu.
At this moment, a luxurious hope surged in A Youduo’s heart.
In the future, would Master bestow Gu Dao treasures to help her Cultivate and refine Immortal Gu?
In her opinion, as the Reincarnation of the Central Plains Saint Emperor, Lu Changsheng, who had grown from a Core Formation cultivator to a Nascent Soul middle stage giant in a short period and cultivated an Immortal Gu, would surely find it easy to help if he was willing.
A Youduo suppressed this extravagant hope in her heart, planning to bring up this request later when she had accumulated enough merits, and continued to look at the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky.
She had only seen the Immortal Gu Tribulation mentioned in Legacy records, but had never witnessed it.
So she seized this opportunity to observe and understand it thoroughly.
Otherwise, if she managed to gather the Materials and refine or Cultivate an Immortal Gu in the future, only for it to turn into ashes under the Immortal Gu Tribulation, it would be utterly heartbreaking.
“Hmm? Has Master not made any preparations?”
A Youduo looked at the Peach Blossom Gu in the sky, enveloped in pink radiance, and felt surprised.
Whether Cultivators or Yao Kings Undergoing Tribulation, they could use Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures.
Gu worms were no exception.
There were specialized Medicinal Pills and Heaven And Earth Treasure.
They could even feed on other Gu worms, and during the Heavenly Tribulation’s rule baptism, perform Fusion refinement of multiple auxiliary Gu to help them advance.
But her Master seemed to have prepared nothing, done nothing.
Was this Master’s absolute confidence in his Gu worm’s advancement?
But Master had just recently inquired about information regarding Heaven Spirit Gu advancing to Immortal Gu.
Just as she was feeling puzzled and about to ask Lu Changsheng if he needed help, she saw Lu Changsheng take a step forward, his figure suddenly appearing under the Heavenly Tribulation, next to the Peach Blossom Gu.
“Master!?” A Youduo exclaimed.
When Cultivators and Yao Kings Undergo Tribulation, others cannot help.
Even just entering the Heavenly Tribulation’s range, their Dharma power and Qi aura would affect the Heavenly Tribulation’s situation, and even trigger multiple Heavenly Tribulations.
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Changsheng transmitted a message to her.
He came under the Heavenly Tribulation not to rashly step forward and help the Peach Blossom Gu.
Rather, the Peach Blossom Gu had sent a thought.
It indicated that by together accepting the Heavenly Tribulation’s rule baptism, the Divine Soul and thoughts of one person and one Gu could be completely and closely connected.
Otherwise, after it advanced to Immortal Gu, its abilities and effects could not be maximized on Lu Changsheng’s body.
Of course, the price of doing so was that Lu Changsheng would need to endure the Immortal Gu Tribulation together, which would carry a certain degree of danger.
But Lu Changsheng was completely fearless of such danger.
He had already passed the fourth-stage Body Refining Heavenly Tribulation and the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, so why would he fear a small Immortal Gu Tribulation?
“Boom, boom, boom—”
As Lu Changsheng entered the Heavenly Tribulation’s range, the brewing tribulation clouds in the sky surged wildly, their Qi aura climbing steadily, locking onto him.
Lu Changsheng could feel a tribulation Qi enveloping him, but he was calm and composed, looking up at the Heavenly Tribulation without the slightest tension of Undergoing Tribulation.
“If you advance to Immortal Gu and your effects don’t satisfy me, you’re dead.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Peach Blossom Gu next to him, which was radiant all over, like a chicken egg, blooming with a brilliant pink glow, and said so.
The Peach Blossom Gu felt a bit wronged, believing that it was doing this for Lu Changsheng’s sake.
“Mother, why is there still Heavenly Tribulation, and why did Father go under the Heavenly Tribulation?”
In the Five Saints Hall, Lu Jiangtang and her mother Yina looked at the Heavenly Tribulation situation in the distance and asked in confusion.
Seeing the Heavenly Tribulation end, she was even planning to go congratulate them with her mother immediately.
However, Yina’s knowledge was limited, and she was far away, so she didn’t know what was happening and didn’t guess it was related to Immortal Gu.
She gently stroked her daughter’s head and said, “Your Father is the most remarkable Great Cultivator in the world, so his Heavenly Tribulation is naturally extraordinary.”
“Oh!” Lu Jiangtang believed this implicitly, her face filled with adoration as she gazed at the figure beneath the Heavenly Tribulation, shouting loudly, “Go, Daddy!”
Even though she was too far away to clearly see her Daddy’s appearance under the Heavenly Tribulation, she could only make out a rough silhouette.
But with her shout, she seemed to see her Daddy smiling gently at her, saying, “Okay, Daddy has received Xiao Tang’s encouragement.”
The high-level Cultivators of the Five Poison Sect were also surprised and bewildered by the movements and situation on Five Sacred Peaks, unsure of what was happening.
“Did the Sect Leader Cultivate two Fourth-Tier Gu worms?”
“Why do I seem to see a human figure appearing in the Heavenly Tribulation? Is someone Undergoing Tribulation?”
As they looked on in surprise, bewilderment, and discussion, Lu Changsheng had already begun to endure the Immortal Gu Tribulation.
Although after he entered, the power of this Immortal Gu Tribulation was 30% stronger than what the Peach Blossom Gu had endured.
But for Lu Changsheng, who possessed a Chaos Body and Fourth-Tier Middle Stage Body Refining, it was no problem at all.
He directly recalled the Spirit Treasure Nine Abyss Mysterious Tortoise Armor and Five Elements Yuan Magnetic Mountain, removed the magical power shield around his body, and allowed his Physical Body to directly endure the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation.
He wanted to see if, after the Immortal Gu Tribulation, he could obtain the Heavenly Tribulation baptism born from the rules of Heaven and Earth.
“Buzz!” Not only his Physical Body, but Lu Changsheng’s Divine Soul, like a golden midget, also emerged from his Sea of Consciousness and accepted the baptism of the lightning.
Although Lu Changsheng’s Divine Soul had broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Facing such a Heavenly Tribulation, it was still excruciatingly painful, and he immediately wanted to retract it.
“Great responsibilities descend upon such individuals…” But thinking of the benefits brought by the Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Changsheng still gritted his teeth and endured, and also released his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
“This, this, this…” A Youduo, who was not far away, saw the scene before her and was completely shocked, stunned, and bewildered.
Undergoing Tribulation like this?
A Youduo looked as if she had seen a ghost, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
Not only was his Physical Body enduring the Heavenly Tribulation baptism, but he had also released his Divine Soul?
One must know that the Divine Soul is extremely fragile and fears Lightning Divine Ability the most.
However, in the next moment, an even more terrifying scene appeared.
Above Lu Changsheng’s head, a Nascent Soul midget appeared, flowing with nine-colored glazed light.
Nascent Soul Spirit Body!
Not only his Physical Body and Divine Soul, but even his Nascent Soul Spirit Body was released to endure the Heavenly Tribulation?
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, A Youduo could tell that the Immortal Gu Tribulation Lu Changsheng was enduring was no weaker than her own Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation back then.
Back then, she had to rely on various methods to safely pass the Lightning Tribulation.
As for letting her Nascent Soul Spirit Body absorb the Heavenly Dao Qi from the Heavenly Tribulation to impact a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, it was completely out of her consideration; she simply couldn’t even imagine it, thinking it was made up and utterly impossible!
Now, she had seen it.
“Is this the Dao Nascent Soul?!”
Although Lu Changsheng himself was not clear about what a Dao Nascent Soul was.
But at this moment, A Youduo firmly believed Lu Changsheng’s earlier claims of being a Saint Emperor of Central Continent, having an Unsurpassed Dragon Emperor Dao Body, and a Dao Nascent Soul.
After all, if he wasn’t a top-tier Great Cultivator Reincarnation, how could he become a Nascent Soul giant in just a few decades?
If it wasn’t an Unsurpassed Dragon Emperor Dao Body, how could he use his Origin to nourish and improve the quality of his Nascent Soul?
If it wasn’t a Dao Nascent Soul, how could his Nascent Soul Spirit Body withstand the Heavenly Tribulation without moving?
Not to mention enduring the tribulation when she first broke through to Nascent Soul, even now, she wouldn’t dare to release her Nascent Soul Spirit Body to endure the baptism of the Immortal Gu Tribulation.
The Immortal Gu Tribulation continuously descended, striking the Peach Blossom Gu and Lu Changsheng, almost submerging both man and Gu in a vast ocean of lightning.
Lu Changsheng, his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, and the golden midget all couldn’t help but grimace, their faces contorted.
The only belief supporting him now was that after the Heavenly Tribulation ended, there might be a force of Heaven and Earth rules born from it.
If there wasn’t, he wouldn’t do such a thing even if it killed him in the future.
After all, Old Ancestor Lu had cultivated for so many years, and the most severe injuries he had suffered and the greatest hardships he had endured were from Undergoing Tribulation in this manner.
“Such a Physical Body, Divine Soul, Nascent Soul…”
A Youduo was utterly astonished by the scene of Lu Changsheng Undergoing Tribulation.
Although the Nascent Soul Spirit Body and the Divine Soul midget donned Spirit Treasure armor after several Lightning Tribulations.
His Physical Body still stood proudly, enduring the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation.
At this moment, she finally had an intuitive understanding of Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body.
Why she and Yina, and even Nangong Mili together, found it difficult to endure Lu Changsheng’s “whipping”…
Even if his body was pierced by the Heavenly Tribulation, creating wounds, they healed and recovered at a visible rate, exuding an indestructible aura.
Finally, the Immortal Gu Tribulation ended.
Lu Changsheng’s black hair cascaded down, dancing in the wind, his body glistening, emanating a powerful and vigorous new Life Qi, quickly healing his wounds.
His Divine Soul, like a golden midget, and his Nascent Soul Spirit Body merged, as if an Immortal King was sitting cross-legged, with nine-colored glazed light surging, full of Dao charm.
The Peach Blossom Gu, initially in the shape of a butterfly, thumb-sized, after fusing and digesting the Dharma Seed “Peach Blossom Its Brilliance” and advancing to Fourth-Tier, resembled a pink chicken egg.
Now, having passed the Immortal Gu Tribulation, it transformed into a pink midget without a nose or mouth, only an inch long.
It came before Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body, with a hazy, Dao-filled, pink, brilliant glow flowing around its body.
These brilliant glows formed crystalline peach blossoms, swirling around Lu Changsheng’s Physical Body and Nascent Soul Spirit Body, carrying a faint fragrance, constantly drifting, and then merging into his Physical Body, Sea of Consciousness, and Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
In an instant, a force of Heaven and Earth rules, born in response, descended upon Lu Changsheng; his body and mind were filled with peace, tranquility, and emptiness.
His Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Nascent Soul Spirit Body all received a gift of the Great Dao.
But this gift was not much.
Far less than the gift from Heaven and Earth he received when he passed the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.
However, Lu Changsheng still quietly endured the baptism of this gift.
At the same time, all the insects of the Five Poison Sect, including the Gu worms within the Cultivators, all roared uneasily at this moment.
They roared towards the direction of Five Sacred Peaks, seemingly in fear and worship.
“What’s going on?”
“Is this the might of a Fourth-Tier Gu worm?”
“Now that the mountain gate Formation and the Five Sacred Peaks’ Formation are operating at full power, the Qi is almost completely isolated, how could there be such a commotion?!”
“It must be that this Fourth-Tier Gu worm is too extraordinary!”
“What kind of rare Gu worm has the Sect Leader refined? Congratulations to the Sect Leader for refining an Immortal Gu, the Dao is within reach!”
These Five Poison Sect Cultivators looked surprised and discussed animatedly; although they were unclear about the situation, they immediately offered congratulations towards Five Sacred Peaks.
A Youduo, dressed in a purplish-red skirt, with a silver crown and hairpin on her head, and bare feet, looked at Lu Changsheng and the Peach Blossom Gu, feeling the roaring of the Gu worms within her body, and murmured softly, “When an Immortal Gu appears, all Gu worms submit; is this an Immortal Gu?”
At this moment, she finally saw the Immortal Gu she had yearned for.
Although this Immortal Gu did not belong to her.
Through the Peach Blossom Gu’s Qi, she could tell that it was an extremely rare Gu worm of luck.
And it possessed the abilities of charm and Inner Demon Tribulation.
However, she could not determine its specific abilities and effects.
“Sigh.”
A Youduo sighed softly, wanting very much to thoroughly research and understand the details of the Immortal Gu through the Peach Blossom Gu, and to inquire about the tribulation situation just now.
But she knew that such Gu worm abilities were a secret of the Cultivator, and if she asked too many questions, it would seem abrupt.
A Youduo didn’t think much further and fully operated the mountain gate Formation, casting spells to conceal the commotion and Qi generated by Lu Changsheng as much as possible.
To avoid being noticed or sensed by others.
After all, major forces inevitably had spies and hidden agents.
The fact that the Five Poison Sect had such a big commotion and triggered two Gu Dao Heavenly Tribulations these days would definitely not be kept secret and would spread.
She naturally wanted to seal off relevant information as much as possible, so that other forces would not know the specifics.
A few days later, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, which were bright and his expression joyful.
“It was worth it!”
Under the Heaven and Earth rules born from the Immortal Gu Tribulation, his Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Nascent Soul Spirit Body all received a baptism.
Especially his Taiyi Divine Soul, which was closely connected to the Peach Blossom Gu.
He had previously cultivated the second layer of the Devouring God Art, and his Divine Soul had reached the Peak of the seventh layer, only half a step away from the eighth layer.
This time, under the effect of this Heaven and Earth gift and the Peach Blossom Gu, he directly broke through to the eighth layer.
This made Lu Changsheng feel that the pain of the Heavenly Tribulation he endured was worth it, and he was not simply masochistic.
However, compared to the Breakthrough of his Divine Soul and the refinement of his Nascent Soul Spirit Body, what made Lu Changsheng most delighted and feel it was worth it was the advancement of the Peach Blossom Gu!
The Peach Blossom Gu, having completely fused and digested the Dharma Seed “Peach Blossom Its Brilliance” and advanced to an Immortal Gu, did not disappoint Lu Changsheng.
Not only were its original abilities and effects enhanced, but it also received an all-around upgrade!
