Chapter 9 You refuse to accept your fate? I'll teach you how to sever destiny!
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Inside the tent, Gu Xuan's heartbeat grew increasingly deep and strong.
Each pulse creates ripples in the rich, almost palpable spiritual energy.
As the first meridian route of the "Shangqing Dongxuan Yuchen Zhang" slowly circulated within the body.
Strands of ethereal, vast, and supremely Daoist-inspired azure light flowed into his limbs and bones through his mouth, nose, and seven orifices.
Gu Xuan originally thought that this sage's inheritance would be extremely difficult to cultivate.
To his surprise, his magical power circulated without any obstruction whatsoever!
It's as if...
This "Shangqing Dongxuan Yuchen Chapter" was practically tailor-made for him.
As soon as the azure immortal light entered the body, it was frantically absorbed, devoured, and fused with the crimson-gold blood and qi that had undergone the tribulation of lightning.
The Shangqing Dao patterns were originally obscure and difficult to understand, requiring extremely high comprehension to comprehend...
It takes ordinary celestial beings several years or even decades to fully comprehend the profound principles of magic.
But in Gu Xuan's eyes at this moment, it was as easy as a butcher dissecting an ox, allowing him to absorb and master it effortlessly!
"Boom—!"
As his cultivation deepened, he became increasingly aligned with the "Shangqing Dongxuan Yuchen Chapter".
The speed at which Gu Xuan's internal magical power circulated suddenly increased tenfold, then a hundredfold!
The sound of a great river surging within my body was incessant.
The initial sense of emptiness upon entering the Celestial Realm was brutally crushed and reshaped by the Shangqing Immortal Laws.
The magical power was continuously compressed in the dantian, eventually transforming into an extremely condensed crimson-gold liquid.
Ten years of arduous study...
The effects of a century of sedimentation...
The truth that has been pondered for a thousand years...
In just a few breaths, he could achieve the same result as an ordinary cultivator's arduous cultivation over a hundred years!
Gu Xuan could clearly sense...
My foundation is becoming deeper and more solid at a visible speed.
This comprehensive transformation, from the inside out, gave him a feeling of being reborn.
As the Shangqing Immortal Power circulated through his body for thirty-six major cycles, the Jiejiao True Words contained within the jade slip were reflected in the center of his sea of consciousness.
"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Cycle is forty-nine, and one is hidden away..."
"To seize the secrets of heaven, to reverse yin and yang, and to forcibly grasp at the last vestige of immortality!"
Gu Xuan stared blankly at it, then murmured in agreement.
Suddenly—
The heaven-defying spear intent that had been lurking deep between his brows, helping him break free of the Nine Li shackles, suddenly trembled as if stimulated by something.
The spear spirit refused to obey orders and the Jie Sect challenged the heavens.
The two collided violently in Gu Xuan's sea of consciousness.
Gu Xuan slowly raised his hand and pressed it against his brow.
The three colors of light—blue, silver, and reddish-gold—intertwined and flowed in the retina.
"The essence of the Jie Sect lies in challenging Heaven's will and seizing destiny."
"My understanding of the gun lies in its unyielding spirit in defying the heavens."
"They are all unwilling to be lifeless objects on the chessboard, manipulated at will..."
"Both are essentially the same principle!"
"Buzz!"
This was accompanied by Gu Xuan's soft murmur.
The Jie Sect's "Intercepting Heaven's Will" and the resentful intent of "unwilling to accept fate and daring to fire a spear at the heavens"...
It produced a near-perfect resonance!
Two completely different yet essentially connected wills collided and merged in the sea of consciousness time and time again.
Each impact causes a shockwave in the sea of consciousness.
Gu Xuan's forehead veins bulged, and large beads of sweat dripped down.
But he gritted his teeth and forcefully guided the direction of the fusion of the two forces.
Until three hours later...
After eighty-one impacts, the two wills completely merged.
Gradually, it transformed into a pure, extremely sharp lapis lazuli essence.
Are you unwilling to accept your fate?
I will teach you how to sever fate!
—【Shangqing Jietian Spear Intent】!
"boom--!"
Gu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Two incredibly refined spear beams, a blend of cyan and gold, flashed and disappeared deep within his pupils.
As far as the eye could see, long, narrow black spatial cracks appeared, revealing the pitch-black void behind them!
"Snap!"
In a daze.
It was as if some invisible constraint had been broken.
A burst of celestial light, interwoven with cyan and gold, suddenly erupted from Gu Xuan's body!
The spiritual energy inside the large tent surged violently.
The immense resources accumulated over three years in Beihai, the profound foundation for the transformation of mortal blood, coupled with this seemingly tailor-made true technique of the Jie Sect...
All sorts of incredible opportunities combined to allow Gu Xuan to advance by leaps and bounds in a single day, ignoring the arduous cultivation that often takes thousands of years in the cultivation world, and directly break through to the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm!
Gu Xuan slowly stood up.
He felt the vast and powerful magical energy within his body, which was as pure and precise as an extension of his own limb.
"If this 'Shangqing Dongxuan Jade Morning Chapter' had existed yesterday..."
"Breaking the shackles of the Nine Li, what need is there for any heaven-defying spear intent?"
But soon, Gu Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"If there were no shackles, how could there be the 'Shangqing Dongxuan Yuchen Chapter'?"
He slowly raised his head and looked outside the tent.
They did not become immersed in this surging magical power.
Instead, he gently opened his mouth and exhaled the breath of stagnant air that had been trapped in his chest.
"call--"
"Sizzle!"
The moment the turbid air left the lips, it was assimilated by the gun intent within the body, transforming into a stream of azure-gold air only three inches long.
then......
Enveloped in wisps of Heaven-Slaying Spear intent, it silently sliced through the tent's tarpaulin and shot into the vast night.
......
At the same time, fifty paces outside the camp.
Mo Liqing was dragging along a dragon horse from the East Sea with bloodshot eyes and white breath coming out of its nostrils.
This beast just swallowed the inner cores of five celestial demons, activating its true dragon bloodline. Its temperament is so fierce that even ordinary celestial beings dare not approach it.
Just as Mo Liqing was about to raise his hand to slap it, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end without warning!
His intuition, honed through brushes with death, made him instinctively extend his protective divine light without a second thought.
"laugh--!"
A faint, eerie aura brushed past Mo Liqing's ear.
Then, a few strands of hair swirled in mid-air before gently falling to the ground.
Mo Liqing's scalp suddenly flared up.
His Xuanxian shield, strong enough to withstand the bombardment of magical treasures, was silently sliced open like a rag?!
"puff--!"
Another barely perceptible strange sound.
Mo Liqing whirled around, staring at the source of the voice, and shouted sharply, "Who goes there!"
Just a hundred paces behind him...
On a piece of black iron ore originally intended to be used as a bulge, a hole about the thickness of a finger, transparent from front to back, has appeared.
The cut was smooth and clean, with a trace of something else lingering at the edge that made his heart pound...
Gun intent?!
Furthermore, this spear intent also carries the aura of the Shangqing Immortal Arts?!
Mo Liqing stiffly turned his head, his gaze falling on the camp ahead.
The smooth tear on the tent fabric was particularly eye-catching.
Through the crack, he could just see Gu Xuan slowly standing up inside the tent.
Although the pressure from the mid-stage Celestial Immortal was fleeting, he captured it clearly.
"Gulp."
Mo Liqing swallowed hard.
Feeling the faint, slowly dissipating aura of a mid-stage Celestial Immortal within the reflection, he felt his throat go dry.
"This is fucking..."
"Just what kind of unprecedented genius is this kid?"
All told, it's only been a few hours?
Beginner's Guide to the Sage's Techniques!
Breakthrough to the mid-stage of Celestial Immortal realm!
They even managed to create such a sinister yet terrifying gun intent?!
Even more deadly is...
The commotion just now looked like nothing more than a breath of waste gas from cultivation.
If this kid were to use his real weapon at full power...
Mo Liqing shook his head and took a deep breath.
Then, he picked up the long spear that had been prepared beforehand, steadied himself, and strode towards the camp.
He was stunned as soon as he entered the tent.
The Gu Xuan before them showed no trace of magical power whatsoever.
His aura was completely contained, as if he had returned to being an ordinary Earth Immortal foot soldier.
But only true experts know...
This return to simplicity is the most crucial element!
Seeing this, Mo Liqing slammed the black spear, which was wrapped in layers of black iron chains, into the ground, making a dull thud.
"I've brought you the horse and the gun."
Gu Xuan's gaze immediately fell on the spear.
The spear was jet black, with ancient dragon patterns carved on its body, and was wrapped in black iron chains.
"Good gun."
Mo Liqing grinned, "The spear is called [Void Breaker], a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure, forged with the remnants of a Xuanxian Dragon General."
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Brother, I have a favor to ask."
Gu Xuan slowly turned his head and looked at Mo Liqing.
"You just finished your seclusion, and you've already broken through to a higher realm and mastered spear techniques. Your hands must be itching for a fight, right?"
Mo Liqing patted the Qingyun Sword at his waist and laughed loudly, "How about we spar a bit tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM)?"
"This will also broaden my horizons, brother, and let me see just how profound this Shangqing True Technique really is!"
Gu Xuan glanced at the black spear named "Breaking the Void" and a slow smile appeared on his lips.
"I desire it...but cannot obtain it!"
