Time passed slowly and three days went by in a flash.
During these three days, the entire Jianmen leadership was anxiously waiting for Gu Qingfeng to come out of seclusion. Gu Qingfeng was the key figure in all the plans, and without him Jianmen could accomplish nothing.
The seven swords cannot be combined, the four-tribulation celestial being cannot overcome the inner demon tribulation, and no one can wield the Emperor Demon Sword.
On this day, a disciple suddenly rushed into the Jianmen Hall in a panic.
"I'm out! I'm out!"
Dugu Wei and others who were originally discussing countermeasures suddenly looked delighted.
Dugu Wei asked the disciple, "Junior Brother Gu has come out of retreat?"
The disciple panted and shook his head, saying, "It's not Uncle Gu, it's Brother Jianchi! He has broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm and can now officially wield the Wind Evil Sword!"
The joy of Dugu Wei and the others immediately faded. If it were under normal circumstances, the appearance of a new immortal in the sect would have led to celebrations, but now, no one was in the mood to do so.
Only the head of Fengxie Peak showed a happy expression, "Great! The sword maniac really didn't disappoint me. He is the youngest among all the geniuses of each sect, and his cultivation is the lowest. I have not appointed a holy son for a long time because I want to wait until he becomes a celestial being, and then officially confer the title of Saint to him and let him take charge of Fengxie. Now everything is ready, the candidates for the Seven Swords have been gathered, and we are just waiting for Junior Brother Gu to come out of seclusion."
The other leaders congratulated him upon seeing this, but their attitude was a bit perfunctory, and it was obvious that they were not thinking about it at all. After all, with the crisis at hand, no one was in any mood.
......
Another three days later.
A disciple rushed into the Jianmen Hall in a panic.
"I'm out! I'm out!"
Dugu Wei and the others were delighted: "Junior Brother Gu has come out of seclusion?"
The disciple panted and shook his head: "It's not Uncle Gu, it's Wanren Peak Saint Chu Jingchen, he survived the third heavenly tribulation."
The joy on Dugu Wei and others' faces disappeared. Chu Jingchen was a leading figure among the younger generation, and the only peerless genius besides Gu Qingfeng who possessed a holy body.
He has a rich experience in cultivation and is far ahead of others. He was the first to become a celestial being. Now, after being in seclusion for several years, he has even passed the third calamity of heaven and man, becoming a three-tribulation celestial being.
Under normal circumstances, such a happy event would have to be celebrated with great fanfare, and the world would also be informed to show that Jianmen has many talented people.
But now is an extraordinary period and no one can think about anything.
Only the head of Wanren Peak showed a look of joy: "Chen'er's breakthrough is just in time. I was thinking yesterday that if he hadn't broken through yet, I would have asked him to come out of retreat in advance to deal with this Sword Gate catastrophe. Now that he has come out of retreat, everything is ready for the Seven Swords to be combined. We are just waiting for Junior Brother Gu to come out of retreat."
Dugu Wei listened to the familiar words and looked at the familiar scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He doesn't care about anything else now, he only cares about when Gu Qingfeng will come out.
......
In the cave.
After several days of practice, Gu Qingfeng has completely absorbed the essence of the thick earth. The human spirit pill in his body is spinning rapidly, constantly moving the terrain.
Strands of earth energy visible to the naked eye gathered from all directions underground and penetrated into his body.
He silently recited the meaning of the sword scriptures in his heart, and the mysterious and profound sound of the Tao continued to ring out, like some kind of cleansing, which made the pores all over his body open instantly, and he madly absorbed the energy of the earth veins.
This grand and mysterious sound of Tao seemed to come from the sky, condensing into mysterious runes in the void, constantly penetrating into Gu Qingfeng's body, like a brand, hitting the human soul pill.
Finally, the Human Yuan Shen Pill reached the critical point!
The next moment, the ground beneath Gu Qingfeng seemed to boil like water, and wisps of earth energy gushed out like fountains.
It hit his body, forming a sea of fog that enveloped Gu Qingfeng completely.
"Congeal!"
Gu Qingfeng, who was practicing, suddenly shouted loudly. With his order, the thick earth vein energy moved like a torrent, just like soldiers hearing the general's order, and drilled into his body frantically.
At this time, Gu Qingfeng's body was like a bottomless vortex, swallowing up the energy of the earth veins.
In his body, the Human Spirit Pill began to transform with the help of the energy of the earth veins, and it gradually expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon being blown up.
The balloon got bigger and bigger, and finally... it exploded with a bang!
Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, a new divine pill appeared in Gu Qingfeng's dantian. It was round, flawless, and crystal clear. The mysterious Taoist patterns on it flowed like water, adding a sense of heaviness, as if there were mountains and rivers hidden in it.
It is the Diyuan Shendan!
Swish!
Gu Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, with divine light shining in his eyes, like a candle dragon opening its eyes. An extremely condensed aura burst out from his body, and at the same time, the Di Yuan Shen Dan in his body made a slight sound.
boom--!
The earth suddenly began to tremble, as if a dragon was turning over, comparable to a magnitude 10 earthquake. The powerful ground vein fluctuations took Gu Qingfeng as the source of the earthquake and spread wildly in all directions.
The area within a radius of hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of miles, and even the entire Jianmen was affected!
Countless Jianmen disciples were awakened from their training and their faces changed drastically.
"What's going on? An earthquake?!"
"What a joke! Jianmen Station is a fairy mountain suspended in the sky. How could there be an earthquake in the sky?"
"Is someone attacking Jianmen?"
Everyone rushed to find the source of the earthquake, and they were shocked to discover that the source was actually Nilin Peak!
Suddenly, several streaks of light flew from the sky and landed on the Nilin Peak.
It was Dugu Wei and others.
Dugu Wei looked at the Ni Lin Peak that was shaking continuously, his face changed: "Someone is congealing the terrain! Junior Brother Meng, do you know what's going on?"
Meng Yan shook his head in shock, "I don't know, but this condensed terrain is too terrifying, it can actually cause the entire Jianmen to shake. Who is breaking through the Earthly Origin Realm?
You have to know that ordinary people who break through the condensed terrain of the Earthly Realm can only affect an area of 100 miles, but this person can affect tens of thousands of miles, and even the entire Jianmen, which is simply unbelievable. "
Dugu Wei said solemnly, "I'm afraid it's more than tens of thousands of miles. Don't forget, Jianmen's base is in the sky and has boundaries. This man can move the terrain of the entire Jianmen, but that doesn't mean that this is his limit. It's just because Jianmen has so much land."
"Could it be Junior Brother Gu?" a chief monk suddenly asked.
The others were stunned, and then someone said in disbelief: "How could it be Junior Brother Gu? The last time I saw him, he was only at the fifth level of the Human Yuan Realm. Only a month has passed, and he has reached the Earth Yuan Realm? Besides, isn't he in seclusion healing? Could it be that he has a breakthrough while healing?"
“But apart from Junior Brother Gu, I really can’t think of anyone else in Ni Lin Peak or even the entire Jianmen who can make such a commotion. You think it’s impossible, but don’t forget that Junior Brother Gu has done things that are even more impossible than this, such as killing the young Emperor of Heaven in seconds.”
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"We'll know whether it is true or not once we find out." Dugu Wei said, and headed straight for the source of the earthquake.
When everyone arrived, Meng Yan immediately exclaimed: "This is Junior Brother Gu's cave!"
