Chapter 362 The enemy is at the door, uninvited!
Although it took a million years to upgrade from Qingmu Huasheng Jue to Ruomu Huasheng Jue, it was really worth it for Gu Dan!
The body of the Great Dao that Ruomu could provide helped relieve Gu Dan of most of his worries.
In the past, he seldom made any moves. Even though his strength was obviously much greater than those around him, he never showed up. Naturally, he had his own reasons.
There is no tolerance for mistakes in immortality. Once you die, you are really dead.
For this reason, he had to be extremely cautious at all times.
As soon as he began to notice the strangeness of Mount Buzhou, he dissipated his own spiritual energy and left.
It's just like the old saying goes: porcelain should not collide with tiles.
When it comes to longevity, there are too many choices to give up and too many risks to avoid, because he has no chance to start over.
And now, with the appearance of Ruomu and the existence of the body of the Tao, he can finally untie most of the constraints in another way and act according to his own will.
Even if the boat really capsizes, you will not really die.
This tolerance is far more valuable to Gu Dan than anything else! It is equivalent to another layer of insurance for his immortality! Moreover, as long as Ruomu is still there, the body of the Great Dao can be reborn, it just takes forty-nine years - this is what he lacks the most.
Of course, he is not completely without weaknesses.
The body of the Great Dao can be reborn again and again with the help of Ruomu, but his original body does not have this ability.
So after the ecstasy, Gu Dan gradually calmed down and barely suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth. Gu Dan also did not forget to remind himself not to be carried away.
"The original body is unique, and the body of the Great Dao can be reborn. After the body of the Great Dao is nurtured, it will naturally be the body of the Great Dao that walks the world, while the original body will stay in a safe place. As long as I am not wiped out in one fell swoop, I will be safe and worry-free!"
There was a gleam in Gu Dan's eyes, and all the previous depression was swept away.
What Ruomu brought him this time was far more valuable than any treasure in the world. He finally freed himself from some of the constraints of immortality and could do whatever he wanted.
Just like when he was walking in the Jin Dynasty, he "plundered" a full 8,000 years of life in one day. Although such opportunities are rare and there are reasons for it, why didn't he do it before? Was it because he couldn't think of it? No, it was because it was too ostentatious.
If it weren't for the changes in the Buzhou Mountains that made him feel uneasy, and if his life span was not long, waiting for another year or two would have been the least risky move.
Acting like the Jin Dynasty would inevitably be too ostentatious and there was no guarantee that it would not be noticed by those with ulterior motives.
But if you have the body of the Tao, it will be much simpler.
The original body is tens of thousands miles away. As long as safety is ensured, the body of the Tao can naturally go wherever it wants!
Don't be afraid of risks. Even if you really fall into a ditch, you can be a brave man again after forty-nine years.
"If one day I can master the magical power of blood rebirth, it will be like strengthening two insurances to ensure my own safety!"
Gu Dan felt his endless vitality, as if a grand blueprint was slowly unfolding before his eyes, the prospect was really bright! Now the body of the avenue had not yet been born, and the original body could not make any mistakes, after all, the original body could not be reborn by dripping blood.
Once the original body is gone, the body of the Great Dao becomes the only one, and after death there is no way for Ruomu to give birth to it again.
After all, this thing also has a natural constant. If it does not decrease, it will not increase. It must be backed up by the original body.
When he gets the double insurance, both the original body and the Dao body can be reborn, which can be regarded as "stepping on the right foot with the left foot", and the survival guarantee can be said to have skyrocketed countlessly! "A million years of life, it's worth it, it's too worth it!"
Even with Gu Dan's current temperament, he couldn't help but smile and feel extremely happy.
As time went by, his strength improved, and his experience grew, his initial worries were no longer a problem without him realizing it.
This is the benefit of practicing! If you only have immortality but no power, you are just a piece of fish that can be slaughtered at will.
Only when you have both can you do what you want without worrying about others coveting you.
"However, the Dao Body is probably not the main course for this promotion."
Stroking his chin, Gu Dan seemed to be thinking about something.
It’s not that he is greedy, but he still acts like a good boy after getting such a big advantage.
Just because of the "lessons learned from the past".
The last time Qingmu Huasheng Jue was promoted, an 'incarnation within the body' doubled his combat power. Gu Danshi almost lost his composure, thinking that it was not worthy of his efforts.
After arriving at the Buzhou Mountains, it was discovered that the Qingmu Liquid could be used as a spiritual root.
That's the benefit of being invisible.
Compared with the two, of course, the Qingmu Liquid at the level of "Heavenly Spiritual Roots" or even Special Spiritual Roots is the bigger one.
Now he has been promoted to Ruomu's Qingmuye, and has directly transformed from the original 'incarnation within the body' into the body of the Tao.
What kind of ability will the Qingmuye, which was originally equivalent to a natural spiritual root or even an extraordinary spiritual root, have after being promoted to Ruomu?
Then we have to wait for him to figure it out on his own.
Looking inward at his own body, seeing the Ruomu tree that seemed to be rooted in the empty sea of qi, providing his body with an endless supply of vitality that seemed to last forever, Gu Dan could not help but sigh: "With my current knowledge, I am almost unworthy of you."
After all, it was Ruomu that he spent a million years of his life to condense. Even though it might be just a projection of Ruomu and only possessed some of its abilities, it was enough to amaze people.
A million years, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a Divine Transformation cultivator or even a stronger one, it would be difficult to live that long, right? It's only natural that they are stronger!
"With Ruomu's presence, the fusion of blood and qi has been accelerated a lot. It will only take about a year or two to complete the transformation. Judging from the vitality that Ruomu has provided me now, as long as I don't die instantly and there is no hope, it is not an empty talk to recover at an extremely fast speed.
When the blood and qi are completely integrated, I will take my own blood essence and a part of my divine consciousness and let Ruomu nurture my body of the Great Dao. It's only forty-nine years, what does it mean to me?"
After taking stock of his gains, Gu Dan began to plan for the future.
"In addition to these things, I have been practicing the White Lotus Visualization Diagram every day, and I am also practicing the White Lotus Act. I also have to put the Walking on the Abyss on my schedule to prevent myself from losing myself when dealing with the Way of Forgetting. After all, I seem to have a good affinity with the Way of Forgetting. I have been there three times in just a few years, so I should prepare early.
After forty-nine years, the body of the Great Dao is conceived and born. If the immortal has not returned, the body of the Great Dao will be allowed to walk the world, looking for the magical power of rebirth by dripping blood, and then find a way to accumulate lifespan.
After all, the next time Ruomu is promoted, it will take tens of millions of years. Relying solely on the gift from the Xia Dynasty is not enough. We must open up new sources of fresh water or do something big that can change the lives of the people."
After some calculation, Gu Dan found that he was quite busy.
He is now in a period of rapid growth in strength. The accumulation of more than a hundred years has now come to fruition. Every gain corresponds to his persistent efforts.
I, Gu Dan, can achieve what I have today thanks to myself!
After he had thoroughly combed his hair, Gu Dan couldn't help but smile.
No matter from which perspective you look at it, things are thriving.
"Go back, forty-nine years later, I am like a new person!"
Pingan Village.
When I came back this time, of course there was no change in Ping'an Village.
After all, they weren't out for very long.
However, when Gu Dan returned to the two houses, he saw two pairs of white lanterns hanging at the gate of Zhuang Sheng's former home.
"this"
Gu Dan was stunned and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Could it be that Zhuang Yun already knew that his father had passed away?
When he actually walked into the yard, Gu Dan found that he was wrong.
Because the courtyard door was open, revealing the hall inside, a coffin was lying there quietly.
Even with the barrier of the coffin, it did not hinder Gu Dan's perception. Inside lay a body whose heart no longer beat.
Zhuang Yun knelt beside the coffin in a daze.
Fu Suxin accompanied him.
"Mr. Kong!"
Gu Dan approached silently, and with the shadows cast by the sunlight, Fu Suxin finally noticed the person coming and called out with a sense of relief.
"Um."
Gu Dan nodded gently, walked in, pulled the distraught Zhuang Yun up from the cold ground, patted his head, and said, "Cheer up, be a real man, don't be too sad."
"Wow!"
Zhuang Yun finally burst into tears and threw himself into Gu Dan's arms, tears and snot running down his face. He spoke incoherently, "Uncle Kong Kong, my mother is gone! I have no mother!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He was not young anymore, only sixteen years old, but his crying was heart-wrenching.
When a loved one dies, it is hard for a man not to shed tears. It can be said that sadness is everywhere.
However, he and Fu Suxin were not very familiar with each other, so he kept it to himself until Gu Dan came back, and then he found an elder and could cry freely.
Gu Dan sighed softly.
Silly child, not only your mother is gone, your father is also gone.
However, before leaving, in his opinion, Zhuang Yun's mother had not yet died.
He passed away so quickly, probably because the pillar of support in his heart was suddenly gone, probably somewhat similar to Wang Mang in the past.
However, Wang Mang was still thinking about the Xia Dynasty. He finally breathed a sigh of relief only after he had done everything and seen a new successor to Gu Dan.
But Zhuang Yun's mother was obviously not like that.
The other party was just a village woman, and a widow at that. If it weren't for Zhuang Sheng, she would probably have had a very sad second half of her life.
To her, Zhuang Sheng’s arrival and choice were no less than a god descending to earth to save her. Suddenly hearing that Zhuang Sheng was gone, she probably couldn’t accept it.
This is also the reason why Gu Dan didn't tell them.
Unfortunately, she still noticed it.
"Cry, cry."
Gu Dan had no more comfort to offer. He had to bear this kind of thing by himself. He had experienced much more than Zhuang Yun, but he could only keep it in his heart and endure it silently.
What else can we do?
Perhaps when he is strong enough to bring the dead back to life, he will be able to heal the indelible scar in his heart. But since he can't do it now, no matter how much he says, it's useless.
Fortunately, this world is very big, and fortunately, the path to immortality is endless.
Since Ruomu is now able to give birth to the body of the Great Dao, it is like giving people a new life. Maybe in the future there will be a chance to pull back those familiar people from the long river of time? After all, Ruomu, who was earlier than Wu, can reappear in his hands, so why can't others? Gu has been comforting himself in this way while worrying.
Even though you have to walk alone on the road of immortality, the scenery you see and the people you meet along the way will not be in vain after all.
If the heart had a lifespan, how many years would it be? He left the Xia Dynasty not only for the immortal path, but also to say goodbye to his past self.
How can he be willing to start a new life without getting rid of the shackles and entanglements of the past? The mortal world is too short and now it can no longer accommodate him.
He doesn't even need to give up the worldly world, the worldly world will give him up first.
This is both the fortune and misfortune of the immortals.
But Gu still has hope in his worries. He firmly believes that as he keeps moving forward and has immortality, he will eventually reach the final destination and recover everything he wants to recover.
The sand that once slipped from your hands can one day be picked up again.
When Zhuang Yun cried until he had no more strength left, Gu Dan put him aside.
Then Gu Dan presided over a funeral for Zhuang Sheng.
The burial was peaceful and many people from the village came.
When someone asked why Zhuang Sheng didn't come back, Gu Dan just said that Zhuang Sheng was busy.
After the coffin is buried and the body is completely laid to rest.
There is one more small grave between heaven and earth, burying someone's thoughts.
When Zhuang Yun returns home again, he will slowly discover that no one cares about him, prepares meals for him, or scolds him for being naughty. Another meaning of growing up is probably to learn to handle everything that belongs to you alone first.
Seven days later, Zhuang Yun finally got rid of the sad mood, or at least it seemed that he had gotten over it.
He took the initiative to find Gu Dan and wanted to learn martial arts, and he worked extremely hard.
Gu Dan found a book under his pillow that told the story of a child who found an elixir and saved his deceased parents.
However, considering Zhuang Yun's current level of martial arts, it would be a waste of talent to ask Gu Dan for guidance. It's not that Gu Dan is unwilling to teach him, but the most important thing for martial arts practice is to make persistent efforts on one's own.
It would be more than enough to let Fu Suxin, the martial arts master, teach him, as long as he did not make mistakes in the general direction.
Of course he also had to take care of his old friend's child, so he asked Fu Suxin to teach Zhuang Yun martial arts in his yard, which would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Sometimes when he was so exhausted that he felt a little weak, Gu Dan would inject some vitality into him, but he was very careful to prevent him from forcing things.
In the process of teaching Zhuang Yun, Fu Suxin also discovered that after getting close to Gu Dan at a certain distance, the activity and mobilization of her own blood and energy were somewhat different.
This is especially obvious when practicing.
She hadn't even asked Gu Dan for advice yet, but she had already gained a lot of benefits - just by being close to him.
This shocked her, and she became even more respectful to Gu Dan and paid great attention to teaching Zhuang Yun.
After all, in a way, she was lucky enough to stay with Gu Dan because of Zhuang Yun.
The days gradually became leisurely again, so leisurely that Gu Dan almost forgot about the Buzhou Mountains.
Until one moment.
In his spider-web-like perception, an object with its own aura far exceeding that of a master, huge enough to make him extremely alert, after touching his defensive thoughts, was actually flying towards him at a high speed!
The target seemed to be him? ! "What is that?"
Gu Dan suddenly stood up from the recliner, his alarm bells ringing. He looked towards the distant sky, with divine light flashing in his eyes, and his divine power of heavenly vision had been activated.
A hundred miles away, a figure was flying straight towards them like a comet hitting the moon!
That is the Huang Dynasty? ! (End of this chapter)
