He could feel that every inch of his skin was bearing enough pressure to crush mountains, and his bones were making "crackling" sounds as they could not bear the heavy load. But the strange thing was that the more extreme the situation was, the more active the mysterious power in his body became.

"Not deep enough."

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

In an instant, the surrounding energy hit him like a huge wave, his throat felt sweet, and blood flowed from the corners 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 to nourish his flesh.

"It's true! The stronger the pressure here, the more active that thing becomes!"

Gu Sheng moved forward again with excitement in his eyes.

He didn't know what this power in his body was. Ever since he accidentally found the strange jade pendant in the ancient ruins last time, his body had undergone earth-shaking changes. Now that he came to Jinwu Mountain, this change had reached an unprecedented level.

"Look! He's moving again!"

Exclamations came one after another from the edge of the barrier.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, watching Gu Shengru leisurely walking towards the depths where even the elders did not dare to set foot easily.

"This is impossible! Even the master there said that one must be at least in the Heavenly Palace Stage to endure it!"

A female disciple screamed.

Not far away, two figures were quietly suspended in the energy tide, their faces as gloomy as water.

"Brother Hong, what do you think?"

Mi Yingzong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

Hong Yun did not answer immediately. He stared at Gu Sheng's back and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.

As the best body cultivator of the younger generation in Qinghe Holy Land, he never thought that one day he would be forced to this point by an unknown kid.

"Magic weapon? Secret technique? Or..."

Hong Yun's voice was low.

"Does he really possess such a horrific 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 mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and a layer of light golden light appeared on his body surface.

He roared and rushed towards Gu Sheng.

"Junior Brother Mi! Don't be impulsive!"

Hong Yun's face changed drastically, but it was too late to stop it.

Mi Yingzong had just rushed out less than ten meters when the surrounding energy suddenly rioted and cut at him like thousands of sharp blades.

The golden light shield on his body shattered instantly, and he flew backwards, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

"puff--"

Mi Ying fell heavily on the edge of the barrier, his face pale.

Several disciples hurried forward to help him, but he pushed them away.

"Go away!"

Mi Yingzong struggled to stand up, his eyes bloodshot.

"I can still go on!"

Hong Yun sighed and stepped forward to hold him down.

"Calm down, you're only going to hurt yourself."

"calm?"

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 something that we cannot do after years of hard training?"

Hong Yun was silent.

Doesn't he feel aggrieved?

As a recognized body-refining genius in Qinghe Holy Land, he had been placed with high hopes since he was a child. But now, all the glory was taken away by the sudden appearance of Gu Sheng.

"Let's try again."

Hong Yun suddenly said with determination in his eyes.

Mi Ying was stunned for a moment, then he grinned grimly.

"This is the Brother Hong I know!"

The two looked at each other and practiced their skills at the same time. Fine scale-like patterns appeared on Hong Yun's body, which was a sign that he had mastered the family-inherited "Xuan Lin Jue" to a small degree.

Mi Yingzong's muscles swelled and veins popped out, and he used his best trick "The Body Domination Technique".

"go!"

With a low shout, the two 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 Ying punched the ground, and the ground immediately cracked.

Hong Yun also had a gloomy expression. He looked at Gu Sheng's figure, which had turned into a small black dot, and felt an unprecedented sense of frustration in his heart.

“How on earth did he do that?”

At the same time, at the outermost edge of the energy tide, Ling Xiao held a jade token in his hand with a gloomy expression.

This priceless protective magic weapon allowed him to practice in the safest area, but even so, he did not dare to go deep into it easily.

"Gu Sheng."

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"What secret do you have?"

He recalled a scene he accidentally saw a few days ago - when Gu Sheng was practicing, a strange light flashed faintly on his chest.

The light was fleeting, but it made Ling Xiao feel a palpitation.

“Is it the legendary one?”

Ling Xiao shook his head, not daring to think about it any further.

If the speculation is true, then Gu Sheng's value is far more than just a genius disciple.

Deep in the energy tide, Gu Sheng finally stopped.

He sat cross-legged, allowing 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 every energy impact would make the silver light brighter.

"Almost. Almost a breakthrough."

Gu Sheng could feel that he was only one step away from the second turn.

This body-refining technique obtained from ancient relics is extremely powerful, and ordinary cultivators cannot even withstand the first turn.

But with the help of the mysterious power in his body, Gu Sheng is about to complete the second transformation 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 out of his seven orifices at the same time. But he was not surprised but happy, because this was the best opportunity to break through!
"Break it for me!"

Gu Sheng roared, and the power in his body erupted like a volcano.

In an instant, silver light shone brightly on his body, forming a dazzling beam of light in the red energy tide, shooting straight into the sky.

"what is that?!"

At the edge of the barrier, all the disciples looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky in shock.

Even Hong Yun, who had remained calm all this time, widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

"The vision of the physical body. This is the legendary vision of the physical body!"

A knowledgeable disciple cried out.

The jade token in Ling Xiao's hand fell to the ground with a "pop", but he was unaware of it. He just stared at the direction of the light column and muttered to himself.

"Sure enough. It's that thing."

The beam of light lasted for about half a minute 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 and could not calm down for a long time.

Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong looked at each other and saw unprecedented solemnity in each other's eyes.

From today on, the situation of Qinghe Holy Land will probably undergo earth-shaking changes.

And at the deepest part of the energy tide that no one could see, Gu Sheng was floating in a strange space.

The pressure here is so great that it is enough to crush the Heavenly Palace monks in an instant.

But at this moment, Gu Sheng had a smile on his face, feeling the surging power in his body.

"Finally, the second turn is complete!"

He looked down at his chest, where there was a jade pendant-shaped mark emitting a soft light.

This unexpected jade pendant not only changed his fate, but also made him see the possibility of reaching the top.

Gu Sheng clenched his fists, with ambition burning in his eyes.

"I must go to the deepest part of Jinwu Mountain and take a look!"

Deep in the Jinwu Mountain, the red magma rolled and roared like an enraged beast.

Flames licked the rock walls, lighting up the entire cave like a purgatory. The air was filled with a burning 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 were instantly evaporated by the high temperature.

He stared 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 amid the roar of the magma.

A few meters away, Mi Yingzong knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his hands on the hot rocks, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.

He raised his head, revealing a face that was red from the high temperature.

"Hong Yun, don't be too proud. I will surpass you sooner or later."

"what!"

Hong Yun sneered.

"With the state you're in now? You can't even stand steadily."

Mi Yingzong gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up.

His legs trembled slightly, but he took a step forward stubbornly.

The heat wave from the magma hit him in the face, as if it was going to melt him completely.

"I, Mi Yingzong, never admit defeat!"

He growled, and his internal energy was circulated to its maximum, with a faint golden glow appearing on the surface of his skin.

Hong Yun looked surprised, then sneered.

"Okay, very good. I want to see how long you can hold out."

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 difference in physical strength.

One more step forward could result in your being shattered to pieces.

Suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation coming from deep within the magma.

A figure shuttled through the boiling magma like a fish, diving towards deeper depths.

"It's that Gu Sheng again!"

Mi Ying gritted his teeth.

"How can he go so deep?"

Hong Yun narrowed his eyes, looking at the figure gradually disappearing into the depths of the magma, and an indescribable jealousy surged in his heart.

The two of them were listed as the five most promising body cultivators in Qinghe Holy Land, and the resources they obtained far exceeded those of ordinary core disciples.

But now, he has been left far behind by an unknown kid.

"I heard that Taoist Yong'an gave him a treasure."

Hong Yun whispered.

"Otherwise, with his strength, how could he go further than us?"

"Humph!"

Mi Yingzong snorted coldly.

"What's the point of relying on external things? A true body cultivator should rely on his own strength!"

Having said that, both of them knew in their hearts that Gu Sheng's progress was indeed amazing.

In a short period of time, his physical strength has increased to an astonishing 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 the Nine Dragons Universe Art."

Gu Sheng said in his heart, with excitement in his eyes.

He looked up and went deeper into the cave, where there seemed to be a small sun floating up and down, emitting a dazzling golden light.

The Yang energy spread out like a substance, and with every breath one could feel the speed of the internal energy techniques accelerating.

“If we could go a little deeper.”

An impulse surged in Gu Sheng's heart, but then he shook his head.

"No, my current body is not strong enough to withstand the pressure at a deeper level."

He closed his eyes and began to practice the Nine Dragons Universe Technique. The energy in his body surged like a river, circulating back and forth in his meridians.

With each cycle, one can feel subtle changes in the body - tougher, stronger, and better able to withstand the test of this extreme environment.

"That guy Long Teng should be extremely anxious right now, right?"

Gu Sheng suddenly thought of the core disciple who had always wanted to cause trouble for him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As his strength increases, his fear of Long Teng is gradually weakening.

He was even looking forward to fighting with Long Teng to see how big the gap was between himself and the core disciples.

"Give me some more time."

Gu Sheng continued to dive down.

Above the lava, Hong Yun and Mi Yingzong had given up the idea of ​​chasing Gu Sheng.

They turned their attention to each other and competed secretly.

"Mi Yingzong, I think you can't hold on any longer, right?"

Hong Yun deliberately provoked.

"It's better to quit now to avoid making a fool of yourself later."

"fart!"

Mi Ying's eyes were wide open with anger.

"When have I, Mi Yingzong, ever retreated? But you look so unhappy, haven't you reached your limit?"

Hong Yun's face darkened. Indeed, he was close to his limit. The energy in his body was almost exhausted. If he continued to hold on, it might damage his 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 growled, forced himself to practice his skills, and took another half step forward.

This step almost exhausted all his strength.

The heat of the magma rushed towards him, as if it was going to set him on fire. His skin felt a sharp burning pain, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to retreat.

When Mi Yingzong saw this, there was a cruel look in his eyes.

The internal energy in his body was running wildly, and he actually took half a step forward.

The two men were in a stalemate again, and neither was 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 shaking.

“No more”

Hong Yun thought to himself.

"If you continue like this, you will really die here."

He turned his head with difficulty to look at Mi Yingzong and found that the other party's condition was not much better.

The two men looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes - surrender.

But no one was willing to speak first.

At this moment, a violent wave suddenly came from the depths of the magma.

A golden light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire cave.

Gu Sheng's figure appeared and disappeared in the golden light, like a god descending from heaven.

"That guy broke through again?"

Hong Yun's eyes widened in shock.

Mi Yingzong was also stunned.

“How is it possible to make such progress at this rate?”

The golden light gradually dissipated, and Gu Sheng's figure sank back into the depths of the magma.

But the shock of that moment has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of both of them.

Hong Yun finally made up his mind.

"Mi Yingzong, you win this time. I'm going to leave first."

"what?"

Mi Yingzong was stunned for a moment, then said angrily. (End of this chapter)
