In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

Chapter 159 Finally Breakthrough, A New Venerable One (4k)

In the secluded room where she was all alone, Sha Xiao calmed her mind and focused her thoughts, examining her own emptiness.

A vast expanse of emerald green and golden waters washed over the walls of the hollow space, one inside and one outside.

The thick, crystal-like hollow walls have become extremely thin under the erosion of the two vast oceans.

With just one thought from Sha Xiao, it could be polished into a thin membrane of light and advance to the fifth level.

With the departure of the Azure Emperor's Heart, the two shimmering seas of suffering became as calm as a mirror under Sha Xiao's suppression.

Beneath the calm sea surface, the immortal Gu were arranged in order.

At the very top is an outdated immortal Gu hanging in the sky, with a crack running through it like a deep ravine.

On the surface of the outdated Immortal Gu, dense moss is growing inward along the cracks, further damaging the Immortal Gu.

Cultivating and nurturing Immortal Gu requires a large amount of materials, but in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, Gu materials related to the Dao of the Universe are extremely rare.

Sha Xiao searched for several years but didn't find many.

In recent years, the outdated Immortal Gu has been in a state of continuous severe injury.

If Sha Xiao uses it a few more times, this immortal Gu will probably be completely shattered.

Sha Xiao brushed his right hand over the outdated Immortal Gu, lowered his head, and looked at the Immortal Gu with extraordinary aura and abundant Dao traces, which was close to the seventh-rank Immortal Gu. It was leisurely floating on the surface of the Bitter Sea, shiny and oily. He shook his head with amusement.

Back when he first obtained this immortal Gu, he was prepared to break it after using it only a few times.

After all, the consumption of one Immortal Elixir Leaf for each use is truly terrifying.

Unless you can get the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree from the Immortal Mountain, who can afford to support such a super-rich family? Even the Immortal Mausoleum's Peach Tree won't do.

Life is unpredictable. Who could have imagined that among all his Gu worms, this Immortal Gu would be the most thriving?

Looking further down, at the bottom of the void, at the Wheel of Life, which is the size of Earth or Australia, there is a divine source the size of a small car.

Within the surging fragments of divine energy, the Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu lay supine, devoid of any special aura, just like an ordinary shuttle, seemingly having fainted from hunger.

Looking at the dying Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu, Sha Xiao felt a pang of heartache.

Even when facing the old madman, he still carefully protected the Gu worm from any harm.

The Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu is Sha Xiao's weapon against the Dark Supreme.

Its unique function allows Sha Xiao to rely on it to build the true trump card of the Heavenly Demon Lord, a killing move that defies the laws of nature to survive.

In the struggle for survival, all things are equal.

Stealing the essence of immortality directly would be a fatal blow to those old supreme beings.

Upon first seeing the killing intent, Sha Xiao was certain that it would take the life of an old supreme being.

If he could, he would rather be the blinding immortal gu starving to the point of being unrecognizable.

However, there is no way around it; the unique nature of the Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu means that it has extremely demanding feeding conditions.

Over the course of several years, Sha Xiao found many treasures bearing traces of the Dao of Time in Zhongzhou.

Things like Stardust Sand, Time Foam, Little Medicine King, etc...

Aside from the untouchable river of time, Sha Xiao has searched for every material she can find.

But all of this was to no avail; the Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu needed to drink the shuttlefish that had crossed the River of Time.

The only thing that can be of any use is the divine source that can help the Supreme Being escape the ravages of time.

However, even divine sources can only slow down the weakening process of the Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu, but cannot replenish it.

Looking at the dying Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu, whose lifespan was uncertain, Sha Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I also deeply empathized with the Great Love Immortal Venerable.

After confirming once again that the flying shuttle had checked the three great immortal Gu in the void, Sha Xiao's divine sense rose and arrived at the outside of his chaotic and misty Dao Palace, which had not yet been opened.

In the dark Dao Palace, a blue light pulsed in the heart of the fire element, where the Myriad Azure Immortal Gu resided.

On the Wanqing Immortal Gu, which was fused with Sha Xiao's heart, a Gu worm covered with densely packed small characters, as thin as gauze, was greedily absorbing the heart energy generated by the throbbing of the Wanqing Immortal Gu.

That was the Heart Slave Immortal Gu that Sha Xiao had prepared for the old madman Yang Jian.

Over the years, relying on absorbing the mental energy of Sha Xiao and the Azure Lotus Emperor, the Heart Slave Immortal Gu has maintained an excellent condition, and the scattered thoughts contained in the text on it have shown signs of coalescing.

"Heh, can you withstand the power of this six-thousand-year-old moonlight?"

Sha Xiao chuckled as he looked at the fragments of will on the Heart Slave Immortal Gu.

Unscrewing the Heart Slave Immortal Gu, Sha Xiao stood before his own heart, his expression turning solemn as he frowned and stared at the Myriad Green Immortal Gu.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

'

The Myriad Green Immortal Gu, like a heart, beat calmly, with nine Emperor characters flashing with each beat.

Each pulse imbues Sha Xiao's crimson blood with a trace of chaotic energy before forcefully propelling it outwards.

As the Myriad Green Immortal Gu pulsed, Sha Xiao could observe that his heart, forged from the Great Perfection of the Ancient Holy Body, was producing wisps of woody fibers.

This is a side effect of the Wanqing Immortal Gu, which can't be called a side effect. It will unconsciously transform the holder into the physique of the Wanqing Emperor.

For an ordinary person, of course they would be overjoyed.

To possess the physique of the Azure Emperor is an incredible stroke of luck!

But for Sha Xiao, this was just as wonderful.

While the Chaotic Green Lotus Body is good, it is far less promising than Sha Xiao's current Chaotic Forest Sea Body.

With a thought, Sha Xiao's blood surged like an undercurrent, shattering the erosion of the Wanqing Immortal Gu on his body.

This was just a minor issue. Sha Xiao stared at the rhythm of Wan Qing Immortal Gu's pulse and silently counted.

"Seventy-seven, seventy-eight..."

'

The frequency of Wanqing Immortal Gu's pulsation decreased.

When the Wanqing Immortal Gu was first born, it could beat ninety times per minute.

The Myriad Green Immortal Gu is a simulation and replica of the Heavenly Heart Mark. Each time it is activated, it consumes the Heavenly Dao Mark within it.

To nourish it, you either need to replenish the Dao traces of the Heavenly Dao or replenish the Dao traces related to the Azure Emperor.

However, feeding the Azure Emperor's Dao Mark can only be said to keep the Myriad Azure Immortal Gu alive.

Only by replenishing the traces of the Heavenly Dao can the fundamental nature of the Myriad Green Immortal Gu be repaired and its power enhanced.

In the current world of Shrouding the Heavens, traces of the Heavenly Dao are almost impossible to find.

Sha Xiao has tried many times in Zhongzhou over the past few years, exploring various immortal materials, world barriers, and chaotic treasures...

Aside from the fact that some lucky individuals might have Heavenly Dao Gu worms among their Gu worms when they awaken their enlightenment, traces of the Heavenly Dao have almost never been found.

Throughout the entire Central Plains, Sha Xiao only saw a glimpse of a place called Huanglu in a corner of Anping Kingdom, a place where it was said that a great emperor once lived.

"This is difficult."

Seeing that Wan Qingxian Gu's aura was clearly weaker than before, Sha Xiao sighed silently.

This is my trump card; I need to replenish it quickly.

With a wave of his hand, Sha Xiao summoned dozens of Gu worms containing traces of the Heavenly Dao from his empty orifice, smashed them, and extracted the traces of the Heavenly Dao from them.

A trace of the Heavenly Dao merged into the Myriad Green Immortal Gu, and soon its pulse count rose back to ninety.

"Sigh, is this even barely enough?"

Sha Xiao sighed again; this was all the Heavenly Dao Gu worms he had collected in Zhongzhou over the past few years.

While the Myriad Green Immortal Gu is indeed powerful, like the Flying Shuttle, it is extremely picky and very difficult to feed.

"Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao, apart from the place where the ancient emperors studied the Heavenly Heart Mark, where else can I find traces of the Heavenly Dao for you..."

""

Sha Xiao rubbed her forehead, feeling a wave of trouble.

His illusory divine sense reached into the Myriad Green Immortal Gu, carefully analyzing it, trying to find a substitute.

"Knock knock knock..."

""

Once you enter the realm of enlightenment, the passage of time is like a rushing river, flowing away completely in a rushing torrent.

When Sha Xiao opened her eyes again, seven days had passed.

"Thump—!"

An aura as if the entire world had collapsed erupted from Sha Xiao's chest.

A powerful imperial might spontaneously activated, crushing the heavens and shattering the galaxy. The emperor's majesty enveloped Sha Xiao's body, causing his bones to creak and groan.

Soon, the imperial aura vanished, and dust swirled in the dark room, as if everything before had been an illusion.

"Ahem!"

Sha Xiao suddenly opened her eyes, coughed up a mouthful of bluish blood, and breathed heavily with exhaustion.

"As expected, it was still too much of a stretch..."

"7

Sha Xiao wiped her mouth, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Within his body, the Myriad Green Immortal Gu continued to pulsate as always.

Sha Xiao hoped to find an alternative feeding method by analyzing everything inside the Wanqing Immortal Gu, but obviously, his attempt failed.

The Myriad Green Immortal Gu contains the Azure Emperor's Dao Fruit, which is not something that others can easily covet and analyze, even if they are the owner of the Myriad Green Immortal Gu.

Just now, his divine sense touched the most forbidden part of the Myriad Green Immortal Gu, directly triggering a powerful counterattack from the Great Emperor within the Myriad Green Immortal Gu.

If he weren't the master of the Myriad Green Immortal Gu, he would have turned into ashes by now.

"So it seems there's only one way out..."

""

Sha Xiao was not discouraged at all. She quickly adjusted her mindset and started thinking again about how to solve the problem of feeding the Wanqing Immortal Gu and the Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu.

Actually, solving these problems is quite simple.

As long as Sha Xiaoneng can ascend to immortality at the sixth level, he can solve the vast majority of problems.

The Heavenly Dao traces required by the Myriad Green Immortal Gu can be cultivated entirely within the Immortal Aperture.

With the Immortal Aperture, Sha Xiao can also access the Time Branch, and can try raising the shuttlefish needed to feed the Flying Shuttle Immortal Gu.

Most importantly, with the Immortal Aperture, Sha Xiao can cut off the Dao traces that Immortal Venerables have tainted, thus entering a fast track of development.

However, due to her apprehension, Sha Xiao hesitated about whether to take the next step.

Now it seems the time has come.

I have made all the preparations, and further contemplation will not lead to any improvement in a short period of time.

My condition is much better than before, and I should be able to take on the true teachings of another venerable master.

But if we drag this out any longer, we'll probably fall back into the same situation as before.

Sha Xiao observed the Dao traces on his divine sense and made an assessment in his heart.

Currently, only two-fifths of his divine sense is tainted by the Dao traces of the four Venerables, which is much better than the three-quarters before the reshaping.

However, compared to seven days ago, there are significantly more cases.

Of those two-fifths, one-quarter was added when he refined the Myriad Green Immortal Gu.

After the number of Dao Marks on the Venerables exceeded the two-fifths threshold, Sha Xiao keenly noticed that the number of Dao Marks on his own body was increasing several times faster.

If he continues to grow like this, in at most ten years, he will fall back into the state he was in before being reshaped by the Ancient Great Perfection Sacred Body.

His entire body was covered in the marks of the Venerable One's Dao, but he possessed these marks yet could not control them as he pleased, and even risked losing himself in the process.

"call..

""

Sha Xiao withdrew his divine sense and shook his stiff neck, making a crackling sound.

He has made up his mind that he will break through to the fifth level and accept the true meaning of a new supreme being right now.

The more profound the Supreme Truth, the more comprehensive and multifaceted his observations of the Great Dao, and the better he can deduce whether the path he envisions is feasible.

As for the consequences, the number of Venerable Dao Marks on his body will surge to three-fifths, and the extent of Venerable Dao Mark contamination will also double exponentially.

If things stabilize now, he can hold on for another ten years. With the addition of another Supreme True Meaning, it's possible that he will be completely corrupted in three years, or even three months.

This is the unorthodox method: trading time for combat power, high risk, high reward.

This method is also recorded in the "Chronicles of the Great Love Immortal Venerable".

Sha Xiao chuckled softly, opened her eyes, and light suddenly filled the dark secluded training room.

Two years from now, the Heavenly Maiden of Tianxuan, hidden in the desolate and forbidden land, will mature, and the old quasi-emperor of the Cai family will also reach his end.

This is the best opportunity to infiltrate the underworld and disrupt it.

Now or never.

He must shatter his acupoints and become an immortal within two years, no matter the cost!

All of this is part of a grand plan to combat the darkness and turmoil.

To combat the dark turmoil, the underworld, this troublesome force with magical artifacts, must first be eliminated.

Having made up her mind, Sha Xiao went through the process several times before standing up, walking out the door and calling Pang Bo over.

"What's wrong?"

Having stayed up for several days and nights trying to remove the Dao marks from his body, Pang Bo came over, yawning, and asked.

"I'm about to break through to the next level, and I'll need to use your nourishing immortal gu."

Sha Xiao said solemnly.

Pang Bo's eyes widened, and he instantly stood up straight, asking in a low voice, "Is there a risk?"

Sha Xiao nodded honestly: "The risk is a bit high, but don't worry, it's still manageable for now."

Pang Bo pursed his lips, looking at Sha Xiao with a complicated expression. He placed his right hand on Sha Xiao's shoulder and said firmly, "I understand. I will catch up as soon as possible."

Without hesitation, Pang Bo handed over his natal Gu to Sha Xiao and then dealt with miscellaneous matters with a heavy heart.

Sha Xiao pinched the slime-shaped nourishing immortal gu, returned to his secluded cultivation room, activated the formation, and began his breakthrough.

By focusing his mind on his body, Sha Xiao's consciousness returned to his spiritual platform.

He looked up at the stars in the sky, and a thought struck him: "It's you."

"Boom!"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the two great seas of suffering erupted simultaneously, with surging waves carrying emerald-gold fourth-stage true gold essence that slammed against the barrier of the void.

Within the void, the golden-green true essence, aided by the sea of ​​bitterness, instantly shattered the void.

"Click" 7

Sha Xiao's thin, crystalline openings, like peeling paint, crumbled down, replaced by a purple membrane of light.

Within the emerald green sea of ​​suffering inside the void, a ring of pale purple true essence sea replaced the four-stage true gold true essence.

In the blink of an eye, Sha Xiao had already broken through to the fifth level. The whole process was completely calm and uneventful.

With a "pop," like a ripe fruit falling, the Venerable's true teachings chosen by Sha Xiao flew rapidly towards him.
