Chapter 351: Acquired Qi, the Exiled Immortal from Heaven
In the blood pool shrouded in red, a person was sitting cross-legged.
The blood pool was about 15 feet in size, and the deep red blood looked like a living thing, seemingly boiling.
Gu Dan sat cross-legged in the blood pool. His blood was resonating with his body. It was an unprecedented strange feeling.
Faintly, it seemed as if his limbs were extended, or as if his physical limbs were gradually disappearing. Every drop of blood was the continuation of his new limbs. It was an extraordinary experience.
As his mind was empty, he gradually entered a special state, ignoring everything in the outside world and began to examine himself, or in other words, to get to know himself again.
At this moment, time seems to have lost its meaning.
When the spring breeze blows by, the blood pool is still boiling; when the summer sun is scorching, the blood pool gradually calms down; when the autumn rain comes, the blood pool is still as calm as an ancient well; when the winter snowflakes pour down, the blood pool remains indifferent.
Winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores, year after year, everything passes by in such a dull and ordinary way.
This time of refining Qi was much slower than any other time.
The sun and the moon rotate, and time never stops.
After the sun and the moon in the sky had alternated for who knows how many times, there was finally an unusual sound in the blood pool that had been motionless for a long time.
“Boom.”
At first, the sound was extremely slight, like the faint sound of someone accidentally stepping on a pair of dry leaves.
“Boom.”
Gradually, the sound became louder and louder, like a great drummer beating a big drum with all his might. The deafening sound made people's hearts and minds move.
“Boom!”
The voice suddenly became louder again, as if thunder from the sky was striking, bringing the most severe punishment to the creatures who despised the power of heaven!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
One sound after another continuously came from the person sitting cross-legged in the blood pool.
The creatures that had gotten used to this strangeness and had returned to live and rest now began to flee.
Even though they didn't have much intelligence, an aura that made them almost bow their heads gradually emerged. The sense of danger, as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, made the beasts flee for their lives in panic.
Some of the beasts that were too close to this place could only kneel on the ground helplessly because their entire bodies were trembling so much that they seemed to have lost all the strength to move.
It could only open its bloody mouth and whimper weakly, as if praying for protection from some unknown existence in the dark.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
However, the sound became more and more intense and faster, without any sign of slowing down.
Under the encouragement of that sound, the bodies of countless beasts were actually trembling along with it, their flesh, tendons and bones were all moving in rhythm with it! However, that speed was too fast.
It was so fast that it was far beyond what these ordinary creatures could endure.
All living beings within a ten-mile radius, once covered by it, seemed to be under an unknown spell. Even if they were only one step away from escaping from this range, it was already too late.
Birds, rabbits, wild boars, tigers, poisonous snakes, insects... anything.
Any living being with flesh and blood, within the range covered by it, will be completely unable to resist in the slightest.
It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands, holding up the invisible lines, controlling their limbs.
There were poisonous snakes dancing wildly, performing a crazy dance, their long limbs leaping at a terrifying speed, their tiny eyes full of water.
Its body was resonating with the unknown existence, at a level it could not control at all! The flesh and blood broke free from the restraints of the limbs, and the snake skin fell off like scattered fireworks, leaving only the dripping flesh and blood. But even so, the flesh and blood was still jumping, weird and terrifying.
Even though it was silent, the mass of flesh and blood seemed to have come alive, carrying out a non-stop celebration.
Any living being with flesh and blood, under its cover, is doing the same thing.
Even if the scales are broken, even if the bones are broken, even if it collapses, the beating flesh and blood is still so full of vitality, responding to the call from the void.
Anyone watching this place from a distance would probably think that they had accidentally stepped into the realm of the evil god and feel a chill down their spine.
And the culprit that caused all this was the blood pool right in the center.
The flesh and blood of the person sitting cross-legged was constantly rising and falling.
A huge and terrifying sound burst out from his chest, and the sound waves that spread out made the rocks tremble. It was not a sound that could burst out from a human body at all.
Beneath that seemingly tiny body, there seems to be a ferocious beast from ancient times hidden.
In the continuous rhythm, in the pool of blood, the strands of blood turned into silk threads like a spider web and swarmed towards the body.
As the crimson light gradually merged into his body, Gu Dan's skin became somewhat distorted. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he felt unspeakable pain.
Flesh, blood, bones, tendons, and internal organs. Every part of the body resonates and responds to each other, as if celebrating the birth of something.
A very subtle "breath" appeared, so subtle that it was almost unnoticeable.
Appeared in his body.
The moment that breath appeared, thick blood-red mist rose around Gu Dan.
The extremely hot temperature made him feel as if he was immersed in lava! His body was about to be dissolved by it!
At this extremely dangerous moment, wisps of green light suddenly appeared.
His body was like an extremely dry desert that had encountered continuous torrential rain.
The blood-colored mist became thicker and thicker, gradually covering his body and even the outside world.
Only from the vague blood-colored mist, one could vaguely see that his skin was gradually dissolving, but then slowly regenerating. His flesh and blood were "ignited" and then reshaped; his skin was broken and then regenerated; even his jade-white bones were gradually "melting" and then recondensing! The tearing and healing were always shrouding that extremely tiny body compared to the world.
Its intensity is even greater than that of the creatures in the outside world affected by the aftermath!
Fortunately, wherever the red light covers, the green light follows like a shadow.
Tearing and healing; destruction and rebirth.
The two blend with each other and tend to be stable.
A completely new aura, completely different from the past, gradually reappeared between heaven and earth.
As the red fog gradually dissipated, the most terrifying changes gradually disappeared.
The blood pool had dried up, but the aura still lingered over his body for a long time.
Terrorist changes gave way to peace, and stability replaced destruction.
Within a radius of ten miles, the flesh and blood that was still dancing wildly gradually lost its vitality and completely fell to the ground.
At a certain moment, the person sitting cross-legged opened his eyes.
In an instant, the two divine rays turned into substance, seeming to pierce through the world!
Gu Dan opened his eyes.
The whole world was clearer than ever before.
He could sense the countless 'living auras' around him without using his eyes. Nothing within a hundred miles could escape his blood and qi perception.
A sense of power that is completely different from before is forming within me.
The life and death of those creatures he sensed seemed to be just a matter of his thoughts! Gu was slightly moved in worry.
A hundred miles away, a poisonous snake that was lurking among the leaves and about to prey on a flying bird suddenly exploded without any warning! Blood splattered everywhere.
The bird, unaware that it had escaped a disaster, was frightened by the horrific sound and the blood mist that was spreading everywhere, and it flapped its wings and flew away without even looking back.
“Is this the acquired Qi?”
Gu Dan slowly lowered his head and looked at his hands.
As white as jade.
Every joint between his palms was so perfect that even the most perfect craftsman in the world would find it difficult to carve and imitate. His body seemed to be completely natural, without any flaws.
Every bit of flesh and blood is in the right place, waiting for his call.
If the promotion to Grand Master before was to reshape one's body based on one's own flesh and blood.
The acquired Qi condensed this time completely broke the prison of the human body, and reshaped the flesh and blood in a way that was more in line with the Dao! Gu Dan looked inside himself, and his blood was no longer "bright", and even looked a little dark. Even the bones that were as white as jade seemed to have been severely precipitated, showing a slight hint of dark gold.
The energy and blood, which were several times more vigorous than before, flowed through this almost new body, as if freed from restraints.
And in the heart, a very tiny strand of 'Qi', so tiny that it is difficult to detect even with inward vision, is still constantly transforming itself.
Acquired Qi.
Blood Qi condensed from one's own blood! More than ten years of hard work has yielded the most perfect reward.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Dan felt that he had entered a completely different realm. For all the creatures he looked at, even if there was only a mass of flesh and blood left, he could see the "fragility" of the flesh and blood at a glance, deep into the texture.
That outer body was almost defenseless to him!
Before this, even the Grand Master had no way of controlling flesh and blood to such an extent, let alone the flesh and blood of other living beings.
But at this time, everyone is treated equally.
There are almost no secrets for the creatures below him.
The acquired Qi is much more powerful than Gu Dan imagined!
Even if it is refined, it is extremely difficult to control it.
If he did not have the Qingmu Liquid as support, which was enough for him to complete his transformation, the extremely drastic and ruthless change would be enough to take his life.
Even the grandmaster couldn't hold on.
He seemed to possess a hint of the true meaning of 'blood', which contained infinite magical uses.
This is just the acquired Qi.
Gu Dan couldn't imagine how powerful and terrifying those Qi cultivators who appeared after the witches in ancient times and truly controlled the innate Qi, the most original power of heaven and earth, were!
Even if the acquired qi is just a poor imitation of the innate qi, it is enough to make people ascend to heaven in one step! "Have I reached the innate realm?"
Gu Dan muttered to himself.
No answer.
In this era, there is no one who can even discuss the innate realm with him.
Does the first person to achieve a breakthrough know that he has created new history?
There is no answer.
But in his heart, that tiny strand of acquired blood qi was still persevering in "transforming" his body.
Fortunately, Gu Dan has been able to adapt to this level of pain.
Unexpectedly, there was not much excitement or ecstasy in Gu's worry.
He seems to have already achieved this goal that he has been striving for and dreaming about for a hundred years.
I should have been ecstatic about this.
But, no.
Gu Dan just stood there in a daze, looking at everything around him that was familiar yet unfamiliar, in a daze.
With the added power, Gu Dan actually felt a little lost.
I didn't even know whether I should smile.
He found a pond, removed his disguise, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face reflected in the water. He actually felt a sense of distance between the eyes and eyebrows.
He is truly a banished immortal, with an ethereal and extraordinary bearing. Any words of praise for him would not be excessive.
Only those eyes and brows seemed to be rather cold.
It seemed like he was about to leave this world in the next moment.
After a long time, Gu Dan came to his senses.
It turned into the appearance of Kong Zhai again.
He glanced at the surrounding hell, which was far more terrifying than the crime scene, and shrugged slightly.
"Fortunately, we escaped to the deep mountains and old forests. If we were in the downtown area, we would have unknowingly caused a lot of killings. It seems that the immortals are far away from the human world, but they don't necessarily disdain mortals."
Power itself is not guilty, but those who get too close to power will inevitably be affected by it.
Even if it is an unintentional act, it can be a great disaster for those creatures who are unfortunate enough to get close to it.
It really proves the saying: thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from God.
Although he was very clean, even much cleaner than the water here, Gu Dan still jumped into the pool and washed his body again.
By the way, gather all the flesh and blood within a ten-mile radius and humanely destroy them.
This is to prevent any careless hunter from stepping in here and thinking that there is some evil demon here.
When everything was packed up, Gu Dan ran a hundred miles away and looked at his masterpiece after he woke up.
The poisonous snake that was ignited by his thought naturally had no trace left.
But the bloodstains were still evident.
This is almost the power of "Tao". He finally began to break free from the cage of human beings and approached the Tao.
That is another world, a place of mystery that cannot be fated by mortal world.
When everything was packed up, Gu Dan returned to the thatched cottage at the foot of Zhenchuan.
There was a child who looked about six or seven years old, playing next to his thatched hut.
When the child saw Gu Dan, he was completely stunned and even his eyeballs didn't move.
After a moment, the child shouted anxiously: "Dad, Dad!!! Come out and see, I saw an immortal!"
"Eh, what?"
A familiar but deeper voice sounded, and Zhuang Sheng walked out of another thatched hut.
Time passed slowly, and years had passed. When Zhuang Sheng saw Gu Dan again, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"What immortal?"
The woman with a slightly rough voice poked her head out of the house and asked curiously.
Just one glance and it's hard to look away.
That is an indescribable feeling of beauty.
