Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

"Hong Yun! What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"

Hong Yun shook his head and a tired smile appeared on his face.

"No, I've really reached my limit. If I continue to hold on, it will only hurt my foundation."

He paused.

"But you're not much better, are you?"

Mi Yingzong was silent for a moment and finally sighed.

"Humph! You still have some vision."

The two smiled at each other, and the tense atmosphere finally eased.

Although they compete with each other, as geniuses from the Qinghe Holy Land, they also have a feeling of mutual respect.

"I go first."

Hong Yun turned and walked towards the exit, his steps staggering a little.

"Mi Yingzong, next time we meet, I will definitely surpass you."

"dream!"

Mi Yingzong shouted behind him.

"Next time I'll make sure you can't even see my back!"

Hong Yun didn't look back, but just waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared in the mist of magma.

Mi Yingzong looked at the direction where Hong Yun left, then looked down at the depths of the magma with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Gu Sheng."

He whispered the name.

"What's your secret?"

Deep in the magma, Gu Sheng was completely immersed in cultivation.

He didn't know that he had become the focus of others' attention, and he didn't know that a conspiracy against him was brewing.

Outside Jinwu Mountain, a figure was hiding in the dense grass, staring at the movements at the mountain pass.

"Why haven't you come out yet?"

Long Teng cursed under his breath, with a cold light in his eyes.

As a core disciple, he shouldn't have been hiding in such a miserable way.

But in order to get the secret of Gu Sheng, he had to humble himself and wait here.

"What treasure did that old Taoist Yong'an give him?"

Long Teng gritted his teeth.

"It's incredible that an ordinary disciple could cultivate in the depths of Jinwu Mountain for such a long time."

Suddenly, there was a noise at the mountain pass.

Long Teng immediately held his breath and his whole body tensed up.

, the person who came out was not Gu Sheng, but Hong Yun, one of the five great body cultivators.

"Damn it!"

Long Teng cursed inwardly, subconsciously looked away, and shrank deeper into the bushes.

Hong Yun walked out of the mountain pass, took a deep breath of fresh air, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

Although he was exhausted, there was a gleam of excitement in his eyes - this training had brought his physical strength to a new level.

Long Teng secretly observed Hong Yun, feeling awe in his heart.

As a core disciple, he naturally knew the name of Hong Yun - one of the five most promising body cultivators in Qinghe Holy Land, and also a terrifying existence who had already reached the Heavenly Palace Realm.

"How could such a monster come out of Jinwu Mountain?"

Long Teng was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Does he know Gu Sheng, too?"

Just as Long Teng was daydreaming, Hong Yun seemed to have noticed something and his sharp eyes swept towards the bushes where Long Teng was hiding.

Long Teng's whole body froze and his heartbeat almost stopped.

Fortunately, Hong Yun just took a casual glance and turned away, seemingly not interested in the little bugs in the grass.

Inside the crude wooden house, an oil lamp flickered with a faint light, casting two figures on the mottled wall.

Hong Yun knelt on the mat.

"Master, I saw it with my own eyes. That person did reach the final area, and..."

Hong Yun's voice trembled a little.

“And he surpassed me.”

Taoist Luomu's eyes, which were originally closed to rest, suddenly opened and two rays of light shot out like lightning.

The jade beads that were spinning in his hand suddenly stopped, making a crisp collision sound.

"What did you say?"

Taoist Luomu's voice was low and hoarse.

"Heavenly Palace Realm?"

"It is absolutely true. I dare not lie."

Hong Yun lowered his head.

"That person's aura is indeed only at the Heavenly Palace level, but he was able to stay in the last area for more than three hours, even..."

"Even what?"

“Even practice there.”

Hong Yun raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Master, you know, even I can only hold out for half an hour in that place."

Taoist Luomu stood up slowly, his wide Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.

He walked to the window, looked towards the Jinwu Mountain in the distance, and was silent for a long time.

"It is not impossible to rely on magic weapons"

Taoist Luomu muttered to himself.

"But at the same time, you have to bear the pressure, absorb the energy, and temper your body."

He turned and stared at Hong Yun.

"Are you sure he didn't use any special means?"

Hong Yun gritted his teeth.

"I saw with my own eyes that person was surrounded by a strange halo, which was definitely not an ordinary protective aura. Moreover..."

He hesitated.

"Disciple suspects that it might be a treasure bestowed by Uncle Yongan."

"Yong'an?"

Taoist Luomu frowned.

"He has indeed been in and out of Jinwu Mountain frequently recently."

"Master, why don't we go ask Uncle Yongan?"

Hong Yun suggested.

"If it is really a treasure bestowed by him, he would not hide it."

Taoist Luomu pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Alright. Old guy Yong'an is fishing for a giant beast at the bottom of the river recently. Let's go find him now."

The two of them packed up and pushed the door open to go out.

The night was as dark as ink, and only the top of Jinwu Mountain was faintly visible as red, like the eyes of a sleeping giant.

At the same time, in the deepest part of Jinwu Mountain.

Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be golden flames dancing in his pupils.

He felt the surging power in his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Finally. It's reached its limit."

He clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a popping sound.

"The yang energy of Jinwu Mountain is indeed well-deserved."

He stood up and stretched his muscles.

His originally fair skin now glowed a faint golden color, his muscle lines became more distinct, and every inch contained explosive power.

"It's time to leave."

Gu Sheng looked around, and his gaze finally stopped at the deepest part of the cave where yang energy was constantly gushing out.

Even though he was a hundred meters away, he could feel the astonishing energy fluctuations coming from there.

"That is."

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

"The source of Yang energy?"

Curiosity grows like a weed.

Gu Sheng knew that with his current strength, it would be tantamount to seeking death if he approached rashly.
"With it here, it should be fine."

Gu Sheng took out an ancient little bell from his arms. The body of the bell was engraved with mysterious runes and trembled slightly in the yang energy.

[Ancient Samsara Bell]——This is a treasure he obtained during an expedition to a secret place, which can withstand various extreme environments.

It was with this that Gu Sheng was able to cultivate for so long in the deepest part of Jinwu Mountain.

Gu Sheng threw the small bell over his head. The bell instantly expanded and enveloped him completely.

The moment he stepped into the space inside the bell, Gu Sheng felt a cool feeling flowing through his body, and the heat and pressure from the outside world were instantly reduced by more than half.

He carefully controlled the Samsara Bell and moved slowly towards the source of Yang energy.

With every meter you move forward, the pressure doubles.

Even with the protection of the Samsara Bell, Gu Sheng could still feel the suffocating feeling of oppression.

The bell made a buzzing sound as if it could not bear the heavy load.

"What a terrible yang energy"

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Sheng's forehead.

"No wonder even those old monsters don't dare to approach easily."

Eighty meters. Sixty meters. Forty meters.
As the distance gets closer, the pressure becomes more and more terrifying.

Gu Sheng had to use all his strength to mobilize the spiritual power in his body to keep the Samsara Clock running.

Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his internal organs seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible hand.

"hold onto"

Gu Sheng clenched his teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"We've come this far, we can't give up!"

20 meters. 10 meters
Finally, at the moment when the Samsara Clock was about to collapse, Gu Sheng arrived at his destination.

Through the wall of the clock, he saw the fist-sized groove and the purple-red bead in the groove.

"This is."

Gu Sheng's eyes widened and his breathing almost stopped.

The bead is only the size of a thumb, but it emits heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

It quietly floats in the center of the groove, continuously releasing extremely pure Yang energy.

The surface of the beads is covered with naturally formed lines, vaguely forming a pattern of a golden crow spreading its wings and flying high.

"The treasure of the mountain!"

This thought flashed through Gu Sheng's mind and his heart began to beat wildly.

"This is definitely the core of Jinwu Mountain!"

He stared at the bead greedily, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

If he could obtain it, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds, even.
"But this is the treasure of Qinghe Holy Land."

Reason was reminding him.

“Once discovered”

Gu Sheng's expression was uncertain.

He thought of his grievances with Qinghe Holy Land, and his name being at the top of the list of tasks in the Yulong Palace.
"Ah"

Gu Sheng suddenly laughed, and there was madness in his smile.

"It's a fight to the death anyway, what do I have to be afraid of?"

The closer Gu Sheng got to the source of the yang energy, the weaker the pressure around him became, as if it was being deliberately restrained by some force.

"strangeness."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself and stretched out his finger tentatively. When his fingertips were three inches away from the red and purple beads, he suddenly felt a burning sensation. He retracted his hand reflexively and found that blisters had formed on his fingertips.

"Such a domineering yang energy!"

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the groove structure.

Fine lines can be vaguely seen on the edge where the beads touch the rock, which looks like a formation that was both naturally formed and artificially carved.

He tried to pry the edge of the bead with his fingernails, but couldn't even find a gap.

"It seems brute force won't work."

Gu Sheng pulled out a emerald green dagger from his waist.

"Try this."

The Green Jade Sword - this is a mid-grade spiritual weapon he obtained in his early years. The sword contains the essence of Yi wood and is most suitable for use in a fire environment.

Gu Sheng carefully inserted the tip of the sword into the joint between the bead and the groove and pried it hard.

"Crack!"

The crisp breaking sound was particularly harsh in the silent cave.

The jade sword broke into two pieces in the middle, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" sound, but the bead remained motionless.

"Damn it!"

Gu Sheng looked at the broken sword with heartache, as he had paid a huge price for it.

But on second thought, if I could get this bead, losing ten jade swords would be worth it.

He suddenly remembered something, and with his right hand, a long sword with an ancient shape appeared in his hand.

The sword was dim, and seven star patterns could be vaguely seen, but three of them were already blurred.

"Tai Chi Seven Star Sword"

Gu Sheng gently stroked the sword, feeling the power dormant within it.

"Although it is damaged, it is still a top-grade artifact after all."

This sword is one of his biggest trump cards, and he would never use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But the situation was urgent at the moment, so Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and aimed the tip of the sword at the gap in the groove.

"Open it for me!"

Gu Sheng used all his strength to mobilize the spiritual power in his body. The Tai Chi Seven Star Sword emitted a low humming sound, and the four intact stars on the sword lit up one after another.

With a slight "swish" sound, the tip of the sword actually penetrated into the gap.

"There's a show!"

Gu Sheng was delighted and exerted force with his wrist.

“Click, click, click.”

A slight cracking sound came from the edge of the groove, and spider-web-like cracks spread outward from the tip of the sword.

The bead that was so red that it turned purple finally loosened.

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with brilliance, all the muscles in his body tensed, and the four stars on the Tai Chi Seven Star Sword shone brightly.

"rise!"

With a loud shout, the bead was finally pried out of the groove.

At this moment, the entire depths of Jinwu Mountain shook violently, as if some kind of balance was broken.

Gu Sheng didn't have time to think too much and quickly grabbed the bead floating in the air with his left hand.

"what!"

The piercing pain almost made him let go.

The bead was like a red-hot iron, and even Gu Sheng's body, which had been tempered to the extreme, could not withstand it.

He endured the pain and quickly stuffed the bead into the void ring.

The next moment, the surface of the ring began to turn red and soften, and unstable fluctuations began to appear in the internal space.

"not good!"

Gu Sheng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly took out the beads again. The void ring was already in a mess, and several magic weapons stored on the edge even showed signs of melting.

"This"

Cold sweat oozed from Gu Sheng's forehead. The beads burned his palms in his hands, making a sizzling sound, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

He had to come up with a solution immediately, otherwise he would be roasted by the bead before anyone discovered him.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng's eyes fell on the ancient reincarnation bell beside him. This bell could resist the terrifying yang energy in the deepest part of Jinwu Mountain. Perhaps
Without time to think, Gu Sheng opened the Samsara Bell, threw the beads in, and then quickly closed it.

The bell shook slightly, and runes flowed on its surface, which actually blocked most of the yang energy from leaking out.

"efficient!"

Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then faced a new problem - how to take away the clock with beads in it?

He tried to shrink the Samsara Bell and retract it, but found that the beads inside were hindering the changes.

With no other options, Gu Sheng could only carry the half-man-high bell and return the way he came with difficulty.

As the bead left its original position, the yang energy deep in Jinwu Mountain began to become chaotic.

The originally stable torrent of yang energy was sometimes violent and sometimes weak, and the red lines on the cave walls were uncertain in brightness and darkness.

"We must leave as soon as possible!"

Gu Sheng's heart was filled with alarm.

He quickened his pace and walked through the narrow passage carrying the Samsara Bell.

Every time he walked a certain distance, he would stop and try to put the reincarnation clock into the ring.

Finally, when the pressure was reduced to a certain level, the Samsara Bell and the beads were successfully put into the Void Ring.

"It's done!"

Gu Sheng was ecstatic, but his joy was short-lived.

He was keenly aware that the concentration of yang energy in the entire Jinwu Mountain was decreasing at an alarming rate.

"Oh no, this change is too obvious, it will be discovered soon!"

Gu Sheng's figure was as fast as lightning, and he returned quickly along the same path he came from. (End of this chapter)
