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

"The supernatural power she used to reshape the innate fetus works by allowing the soul to return to a state similar to its origin, and then merge with a new, pure innate fetus body."

The advantage of doing this is that it provides an incredibly solid foundation and enormous potential.

The downside is that everything about this new body, including the strength of its consciousness, has to grow from scratch.

She stretched out her little finger and tapped Tantai Xuefei's forehead.

"Look at her now. Her physical body has been forcibly cleansed and regenerated by your powerful soul force, and it is now able to bear the power of the Venerable Realm."

However, her sea of ​​consciousness was still essentially in the same state as when she was in the Heavenly King Realm, and it had not been strengthened to a level that was sufficient to match the spiritual power of the Venerable Realm.

Now that her soul and body have begun to merge, her spiritual power, belonging to the Venerable Realm, is starting to naturally grow and revive. However, her fragile sea of ​​consciousness simply cannot withstand it. It's like a small pond suddenly trying to contain the water of a lake—the result is… Boom!

She made an explosion gesture, her little face serious.

"Her sea of ​​consciousness would be burst, and her head would explode! So, in order to protect herself, her instinctive consciousness fell into the deepest state of lockdown, not daring to awaken, nor daring to let that enormous spiritual power be fully released."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes.

This situation was indeed tricky; if Gu Ling'er hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have been able to think of it so easily. The physical body is easy to strengthen, but the sea of ​​consciousness is difficult to cultivate.

He nodded.

“I understand. It seems we need to give her another push and strengthen her sea of ​​consciousness as well.”

He placed his palm on Tantai Xuefei's head again, while speaking to Gu Ling'er.

"I will ignite the fire of my spirit to temper her sea of ​​consciousness, helping it to expand and strengthen. This process will probably be several times more painful than the cleansing of her physical body just now."

These words were meant to explain to Gu Ling'er, and also to Tantai Xuefei, who might still retain a trace of perception.

At this moment, Tantai Xuefei was using all her mental energy to suppress and seal the enormous spiritual power that was constantly growing in her soul, and she was powerless to respond.

With a thought, Gu Sheng unleashed his refined spiritual power, now tinged with a pale golden hue. But this time, instead of a gentle cleansing, it transformed into a leaping, pale golden flame that radiated heat and purification after leaving his palm!
This flame of spirit, though seemingly weak, contains Gu Sheng's supreme understanding and control over the power of the soul.

It floated lightly into Tantai Xuefei's sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom--!"

It was as if a spark had fallen into the oil depot!

Tantai Xuefei's originally calm sea of ​​consciousness was instantly ignited! Pale golden flames swept out, not burning matter, but directly affecting the spiritual source power that constituted her sea of ​​consciousness!

Those overly complex, impure, and originally barrier-forming spiritual forces melted and evaporated rapidly like ice and snow under the burning of this spiritual fire!
The indescribable pain directly affected the deepest part of her soul! Even though Tantai Xuefei's consciousness was closed, her body instinctively convulsed violently. Her face, which had regained its rosy hue due to the breakthrough, instantly turned ashen white, devoid of any color. Fine beads of sweat seeped out continuously, wetting the red hair on her forehead.

Her tightly clenched lower lip even bled slightly, showing just how intense the pain she was enduring was.

Gu Sheng remained calm, carefully controlling the intensity and range of his spiritual fire. He wanted to maximally refine, purify, and expand her sea of ​​consciousness, but he couldn't actually burn away her spiritual essence.

Gu Ling'er, who was standing to the side, watched this scene, and her playful expression disappeared, replaced by a serious one.

She carefully observed Tantai Xuefei's state and the pale golden flame burning in her sea of ​​consciousness. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in her pure, large eyes.

"Brother, this kind of calcination is too slow, and her essence seems to be a bit special, so it's not thorough enough..."

Gu Ling'er murmured to herself.

Then, she stretched out her two delicate white hands, palms facing upwards, and slowly brought them together. The next moment, something astonishing happened! Two flames, completely different from Gu Sheng's pale golden spiritual flame, appeared out of thin air in her palms!
One cluster was a magnificent gold, seemingly capable of burning away all evil in the world! The other cluster was a pure white, radiating extreme cold and vitality!
As soon as these two flames appeared, the temperature in the entire quiet room became extremely strange, half as hot as a furnace and half as cold as an ice cave!

Gu Ling'er's face turned pale at a visible speed, and even her originally solid figure began to become slightly illusory. Obviously, the simultaneous condensation of these two strange flames had taken a huge toll on her.

Without any hesitation, she gently pushed with her small hand.

"Huh! Huh!"

The golden and pure white flames, as if possessing a spirit, transformed into two streams of light that instantly entered Tantai Xuefei's brow and directly entered her sea of ​​consciousness, which was being tempered by the pale golden spiritual fire!

The three-colored flames converged in Tantai Xuefei's sea of ​​consciousness!
Contrary to expectations, the intense conflict did not occur. The golden and pure white flames seemed to possess a unique spirituality, and they did not confront Gu Sheng's spiritual fire.

Instead, like the most exquisite craftsman, it began to assist the pale golden flames, more efficiently and deeply burning and purifying the origin of the sea of ​​consciousness, and even began to repair some subtle damages and hidden ailments hidden in the deepest part of the soul that even Gu Sheng had not noticed!
After doing all this, Gu Ling'er's figure was so ethereal that it was almost transparent. She smiled weakly at Gu Sheng, her voice barely audible.

"Brother... Ling'er is so tired, I want to sleep for a while..."

Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a faint ray of chaotic light.

With a "whoosh," it entered Gu Sheng's body and sank directly into his dantian. The ancient and mysterious Mother Qi Cauldron, which had been quietly floating, fell into a deep slumber, and its aura became almost imperceptible.

Gu Sheng sensed that Gu Ling'er had simply fallen into a deep sleep due to overexertion and was otherwise unharmed, which reassured him somewhat. At the same time, he also clearly perceived that, with the assistance of Gu Ling'er's two strange flames, the process of tempering and strengthening Tantai Xuefei's sea of ​​consciousness had suddenly accelerated several times, becoming even more perfect and thorough!
He focused his mind and did his best to maintain a stable output of spiritual fire.

……

Just as Gu Sheng was helping Tantai Xuefei break through to the Venerable Realm in Meteor Moon City.

Far away in the heart of the Eastern Wilderness, in the Great Wilderness City.

Before the gate of a magnificent palace complex shrouded in mist, seemingly reaching to the heavens, several figures slowly came to a stop.

The leader was Gu Sheng's father, Gu Lie.

He was dressed in a brocade robe, and although his face showed a calm demeanor as if he had experienced many hardships, his cultivation level was only at the Yellow Martial Realm.

Behind him followed four guards dressed in uniform blue outfits, with a calm demeanor and sharp eyes.

Above the mountain gate hangs a huge plaque with three ancient characters written in a vigorous and elegant style: Wanling Palace.

An elderly man dressed in the robes of the Wanling Palace, exuding a profound aura, clearly a guardian elder of the mountain, came forward to greet them. His gaze swept over Gu Lie and the others, his brows furrowing slightly. His tone was polite enough, but carried an undeniable distance.

"Please return. My Wanling Palace has been closed for three years and has not received any guests during this time. We apologize that we cannot receive you."

Gu Lie stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Please, elder."

My name is Gu Lie, and I was once an old friend of Elder Xuan Ce of your esteemed palace. I have come today for two reasons: first, to return some old belongings on someone's behalf; and second, to catch up with my old friend Xuan Ce.

"Gu Lie?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Lingyu, who was guarding the mountain, had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then suddenly realized.

"You are... that Gu family member from Wuyun City? Junior Brother Xuan Ce did often mention you back then, saying that he went on an adventure with you to the Endless Mountains and benefited greatly." He recognized Gu Lie, and his attitude softened a bit, but he still looked troubled.

"However... the order to seal the mountain was personally issued by the sect leader, and I cannot make an exception. Brother Gu, please return. When my Wanling Palace reopens, you can enjoy a drink with Junior Brother Xuan Ce again."

Gu Lie remained calm and composed.

"Elder Lingyu, I have come here on behalf of my son, Gu Sheng."

He asked me to return some items belonging to the Wanling Palace and to give his regards to my old friend Xuan Ce.

He specifically mentioned Gu Sheng's name.

Sure enough, Elder Lingyu's expression changed slightly upon hearing the name "Gu Sheng".

Gu Sheng's reputation is now widely known among the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Wilderness. He has close ties with the Linlang Pavilion and is extremely powerful, even having defeated Xiao Beixuan.

He hesitated for a moment, just about to speak.

Suddenly, the heavy, tightly closed gates of Wanling Palace made a creaking sound and slowly opened a crack on their own.

An elderly woman, slightly hunched over and holding a rattan cane, emerged from behind the door.

The old woman first glanced at Gu Lie, a glint of light flashing in her cloudy old eyes. Then, a series of slight cracking sounds came from her bones, and her hunched body slowly straightened up, while the loose skin on her face became firm.

In the blink of an eye, she transformed from an old woman into a beautiful middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor and sharp eyes!

The middle-aged woman in disguise fixed her gaze on Gu Lie with a hint of surprise and scrutiny.

"You are Gu Lie? The old friend that Senior Brother Xuan Ce often mentions?"

Her gaze lingered for a moment, especially on Gu Lie's cultivation level of only the Yellow Martial Realm, clearly showing some surprise.

Facing this beautiful woman whose aura was unfathomable, Gu Lie bowed respectfully without being humble or arrogant.

"That's me. Senior, you must be Elder Lingluan, right? I've often heard Xuan Ce mention you."

The beautiful woman, Lingluan, nodded slightly, acknowledging her identity.

Gu Lie stopped exchanging pleasantries and directly took out a storage ring and handed it over.

"Elder Lingluan, this is what Qingyun asked me to send. Inside are three corpse puppets with the strength of a half-step Heavenly Martial Realm, along with the specific methods to control them. Qingyun said that these people... were disciples of the Myriad Spirits Palace in life, and after death, they should return to the Myriad Spirits Palace."

Now that the items have been returned to their rightful owners, it is hoped that their loyalty in protecting the sect during their lifetime will not be in vain.

Elder Lingluan took the storage ring, and after probing it with her spiritual power, her expression became complicated, filled with sighs and sadness, which eventually turned into a long sigh.

She solemnly put away the storage ring and said to Gu Lie.

"Mr. Gu is very kind, and Young Master Gu is very generous."

I, Wanling Palace, appreciate this gesture.

We will give these children's remains a proper burial; we will never betray their sincere hearts.

Gu Lie nodded, then asked.

"I wonder if my old friend Xuan Ce is currently in the mountains?"

Elder Lingluan smiled slightly.

"Yes, I am. If Senior Brother Xuan Ce knew you were here, he would be very happy. Mr. Gu, please come with me into the mountain."

She stepped aside to make way for her.

Gu Lie thanked him and then walked into the mountain gate.

The four guards in blue robes behind him followed silently.

Just then, Elder Lingluan's gaze fell on the four guards again. She frowned slightly and spoke with a hint of inquiry in her voice.

"Mr. Gu, who are these four?"

Gu Lie stopped and said frankly.

"To be honest, Elder, I am now the manager of the Linlang Pavilion's underground branch."

These four were specially arranged by Pavilion Master Tantai to protect Gu's safety.

"Oh? The guards of Linlang Pavilion?"

Elder Lingluan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her powerful spiritual energy, like invisible tentacles, quietly reached out to the four guards, trying to sense their specific cultivation levels.

However, her mental power was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to penetrate the invisible barrier surrounding the four guards.

Just then, the man in the lead among the four guards, with an ordinary face but eyes as deep and still as an abyss, slowly raised his head and looked calmly at Elder Lingluan. His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

"Elder Lingluan need not trouble yourself to spy. The four of us are all at the Human King Realm. We are here on the orders of the Pavilion Master to protect Manager Gu."

Inside the quiet room, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Gu Sheng continued to urge that cluster of pale golden spiritual fire, meticulously and patiently forging and refining it within Tantai Xuefei's sea of ​​consciousness.

This process was extremely mentally and physically demanding. Even with the foundation of his Emperor-level soul, the power in his sea of ​​consciousness was visibly depleted by nearly half under such precise manipulation. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned slightly pale.

His mental power was like the most precise carving knife, sensing every change in Tantai Xuefei's sea of ​​consciousness.

The originally fragile and unstable barrier of consciousness was continuously burned, purified, and expanded under the combined effect of the three-colored flames, and then reconstructed by a more refined spiritual source, becoming increasingly resilient and expansive.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Sheng keenly sensed that Tantai Xuefei's sea of ​​consciousness had stabilized at a new level—the level of a peak sixth-grade spirit spellcaster!
This level of spiritual power cultivation is quite good for ordinary Venerable Realm warriors who have just entered the first stage of cultivation. It is enough to support them in performing various Venerable-level secret techniques and martial arts, and even to have a preliminary understanding of some basic alchemy and weapon crafting.

"That's about enough. The peak of the sixth rank is sufficient to support her current revived spiritual power. Forcing her to improve further might be counterproductive and leave hidden dangers."

With a thought from Gu Sheng, the pale golden spiritual fire burning in Tantai Xuefei's sea of ​​consciousness was extinguished instantly, vanishing without a trace, as if a soldier had received an order.

At the same time, he sent a telepathic message directly into the depths of Tantai Xuefei's self-imposed closed consciousness.

"The sea of ​​consciousness is now solidified; the final fusion of soul and body can begin." (End of Chapter)
