Chapter 371: Spiritual energy appears and the sky lock hole opens!
Life is very dull.
After the blood and qi merged with his body, Gu Dan's strength reached the peak.
And here comes the next question.
He didn't know what the next level of martial arts was.
In order to obtain a martial arts innate talent, he worked hard for more than a hundred years, and now he is on par with the immortals.
But where to go next?
Many of the classics he brought back from the Buzhou Mountains were all related to the way of immortality and had nothing to do with martial arts.
Although the path of martial arts was once famous in the world, this system of practice has long been erased over the years and is no longer visible to the public.
The only one left is the Grandmaster, who is already the pinnacle of the world.
He was fortunate to be able to explore the innate path above the grandmaster through various means.
If one wants to continue to become stronger through the methods of Qi Refiners, then the focus should undoubtedly be to continue to cultivate blood Qi. However, at this stage, one needs the essence and blood of outsiders to continuously enrich and strengthen the acquired Qi.
Then the question arises again, who still cultivates the physical body nowadays? Grandmaster?
What's the use of him, a strong man with innate martial arts, getting the master's essence and blood?
For his own blood Qi, it can hardly be considered as any help, and even the slightest increase is difficult to perceive.
The more he practiced, the more Gu Dan could feel the impact of the environment on the cultivator.
No matter which path you take, it is almost impossible to do it alone.
For example, his blood Qi, although he knew how to continue to become stronger, now he can't continue to become stronger because this is the path of the Qi Refiner.
Now is the era of immortals.
Even for Qi Refiners, acquired Qi is only chosen as a last resort. Their true supreme pursuit is innate Qi. That one is good because it points directly to the origin of the Great Dao and is the tangible embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth. If they can subdue it, they don't have to worry about how to become stronger.
The real problem he needs to face now is that the building is already too high, and there is no "material" in the mortal world to support him to continue to become stronger.
In this era of extreme chaos, it is a miracle that he can achieve such strength.
Among them, personal talent accounts for 8 points, personal effort accounts for 10 points, and Qingmuye and Ruomu only account for 82 points.
His strength was stuck there again.
It wasn't even because he couldn't see the way forward, but because he had already reached it, but there was nothing he could do.
A small puddle cannot raise big fish.
Even if there are other things to nourish it, it is impossible to raise a real dragon.
Gu Dan was particularly aware of the impact of the environment on living things, and it even had nothing to do with personal effort or not.
The environment simply does not allow us to continue on the previous path, it is simply due to our own incompetence.
Fortunately, Gu Dan has plenty of time.
Moreover, even if he switched to cultivating immortality, with Ruomu's help, he would still be able to excel and be extremely talented! "It is only forty years away from the birth of the body of the Great Dao."
Gu Dan casually put the book "Detailed Explanation of the Concept of Formation" aside and muttered to himself.
It was now the 129th year of Xianlin.
Nearly ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
He had already read through all the mountain-like immortal classics that he brought from the Buzhou Mountains, and was now reading them again.
Although the immortal has not yet arrived, he has already made sufficient preparations.
At least when it comes to theoretical knowledge, he has a firm grasp of it.
But without the help of spiritual energy, I am temporarily unable to try experiments and integrate concepts with practice.
But it doesn’t matter. Building a building requires not only materials, but also sufficient knowledge and vision.
After planning the blueprint in mind, as long as the materials are in place and preparations are made, won't it be possible to make rapid progress? The immortals naturally have plenty of time to wait.
Overall, the situation is stable and improving.
Even if an immortal were to descend immediately and the sky lock were to open, if the body of the Great Dao had not yet been nurtured, Gu Dan would not be able to run to the Great Immortal Sect to seek the Dao.
"It would be best if you wait until my Dao body is conceived before coming."
Gu was worried but not anxious, he even hoped that they would come slower so that he could be more prepared.
More than a hundred years have passed, is he still short of these few decades? Let your years pass by, and I will sit firmly in the court.
This is the confidence that Changsheng brings me! "Uncle Kong! Uncle Kong!"
While thinking this, Zhuang Yun's loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door. The voice came from far away and soon reached the door.
He pushed the door open rudely and Zhuang Yun walked in with a bunch of things in his arms.
"how?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly.
After so many years, Zhuang Yun, who was only sixteen years old at the time, is now twenty-five and has grown up completely.
After all, he is Zhuang Sheng's offspring. Zhuang Yun's appearance is not bad, and he can be described as having an imposing bearing. In addition, he has been practicing with Gu Dan for so many years and has the guidance of a master. He has already practiced internal martial arts two years ago.
After being promoted to Lianzang, Zhuang Yun could no longer stay in Ping'an Village.
The only thing worth mentioning here is that it is quiet and peaceful, and there is no worry about food and clothing.
But these things are already readily available to those who practice dirty martial arts!
Not everyone has the same state of mind as Gu Dan and Zhuang Sheng, not even Zhuang Sheng’s children.
Zhuang Yun was naturally unhappy that he had mastered all the martial arts but could only go to the mountains to hunt wild boars, beat up tigers, and even kill two rabbits.
So after being promoted to Lianzang, Zhuang Yun, who was about to go crazy staying here, went out for training under the leadership of Fu Suxin.
It has been more than two years since I left, and I have just returned.
"This is a gift that Sister Su Xin and I brought for you."
Zhuang Yun put down the large and small bags in his arms and said impatiently: "In the past two years, I have also made a great name for myself outside. People call me the Jade-faced Hero!"
Zhuang Yun puffed out his chest, a smug look on his face, his pride evident in his expression, and he looked eager to be praised.
"Oh."
Gu Dan chuckled, and remembered that when he was in the Gu family courtyard, he was also given a nickname by the nosy people in the martial arts world. "That's pretty good."
"Come on. You, a great and handsome man, weren't caught by the flower thief, but were almost knocked down by the daughter of a wealthy family. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been waiting to marry into the family."
Fu Suxin, who arrived late, did not give any face and immediately started to sabotage.
"oh?"
Gu Dan became interested, "Is there such a thing? Tell me about it."
"No, no!"
Zhuang Yun shook his head repeatedly, his face flushed, and said, "When saving people, it is inevitable that some unexpected events will occur. It is not worth mentioning."
As he spoke, Zhuang Yun looked towards Fu Suxin for help, his face full of pleading.
However, when Fu Suxin came over, she suppressed him completely with one hand, and said with a smile: "In order to hunt down a flower-stealing thief, he hid in the boudoir of a young lady from a wealthy family in advance.
As a result, he did catch the flower thief. But at the celebration banquet of the wealthy family, the wine was drugged. "
At this point, Fu Suxin sighed, "He didn't notice anything at all. I think he was probably attracted by the beauty of that young lady and was going to take advantage of her. But I ruined his plan. I don't know if he feels resentful in his heart."
"I I I I don't have any!"
Zhuang Yun's face flushed red, and he said calmly, "I saved her innocence out of kindness, but who would have thought that she would secretly drug me!"
"Isn't this because you value the elegance of our Jade-faced Hero? The young girl is in love."
Fu Suxin smiled and flicked Zhuang Yun's head, making a crisp sound. "I saw that you were enjoying it so much that your hands almost reached into his clothes. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't done anything, I would have brought back a fat boy."
Zhuang Yun was furious. How could he, the Jade-faced Hero, put his face aside after such humiliation? However, Fu Suxin was the Grand Master, and to some extent, his master. Even though he was extremely dissatisfied, he could only hold it in his stomach. His face was already red as if it was about to bleed.
The evidence is irrefutable.
"Who, who knew she would do that!"
Zhuang Yun felt extremely aggrieved. He turned his gaze to Gu Dan and said, "Uncle Kong, I really didn't mean it!"
"It's okay if you have intentions, as long as we are willing."
After hearing this, Gu Dan laughed.
He had already experienced Cang's hundreds of wives and concubines, so was he afraid that Zhuang Yun would marry a few more? Just think of it as leaving more blood for Zhuang Sheng.
Hearing the elders say this, Zhuang Yun’s eyes widened immediately.
How could you do this! "Ahem."
Seeing that Zhuang Yun was about to cry because of the teasing, Gu Dan finally coughed lightly and said, "This will serve as a lesson for you.
Don't think that if you do good things, the people you save will be grateful to you and will never harm you. This trip was worthwhile because it taught you a lesson.
After all, being drugged and made a son-in-law is better than being stabbed in the middle of the night, right? Hahahaha"
Halfway through his speech, Gu Dan burst into laughter again.
You see, having younger generations is still useful. For example, you can make fun of them and add some fun to your peaceful life.
“.”
Zhuang Yun looked depressed and could only lower his head and let the two of them tease him.
After Gu Dan finished laughing, he finally took a breath and said in a serious tone: "But speaking of it, you are not young anymore, and you can indeed consider the issue of marriage. Although you were not here a while ago, the villagers came to me and asked about your feelings indirectly."
To be honest, Zhuang Yun's appearance was indeed not bad, and he could be considered to have a jade-like face. Although he was far inferior to him, he could be considered one of the most handsome men in Ping'an Village.
In addition, he grew up here and knows everything about the village. There are countless young girls in the village who love Zhuang Yun.
The reason why he didn't mention it before was naturally because the other party was still young. Gu Dan was not the kind of person who liked to urge others, so he suppressed everyone's words.
Since we happen to be talking about this matter now, I might as well mention it.
After so many years, Zhuang Yun, who is not a fool, should understand that his father is probably no longer around, otherwise there would not be any news from him in all these years.
But time is enough to gradually dispel the deepest sorrow. After all, there is a difference between slowly feeling something in your heart and suddenly losing something.
After all, Zhuang Yun's parents are no longer around, so he still needs to pay a little attention to this aspect.
"ah?"
Zhuang Yun was stunned.
He was past the age of first love and had some understanding of such matters.
But since he had already seen the scenery outside, it would be a shame for him to marry the woman from Ping'an Village. Zhuang Yun thought about it and shook his head repeatedly. His gaze somehow turned to Fu Suxin.
Those women are not even one-tenth as good as Sister Su Xin!
"Why are you looking at me? If you want to marry someone like me, you'll have to wait until an immortal comes to the world."
Fu Suxin put her hands on her hips and praised herself without any shame.
Her appearance is very attractive even among ordinary people, not to mention that she is an extremely rare female master!
If the Grandmaster is the pinnacle of the world, then the female Grandmaster, especially one who is so beautiful, is truly a national treasure among national treasures, the kind that most people dare not even think about.
In this world, women are already subject to many restrictions, and there are very few who practice martial arts, let alone beautiful women who have the opportunity to become a master.
Scarcity makes things valuable, and the same is true for people.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It's okay. If you still don't have a plan in mind, then continue to practice martial arts. When you become a master, it's not impossible to marry again when you are a hundred years old."
After all, Gu Dan didn't come to urge marriage, he just mentioned it so that Zhuang Yun would think about it, and it could be regarded as fulfilling the role that an elder should have.
After mentioning it, let it go. As for how Zhuang Yun chooses, that is his business.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Uncle Kong, please take a look at the gift we brought you. This 'Xia Ke Liu Feng Robe' was carefully selected for you by Sister Su Xin. Don't wear that black robe anymore. Put it on and have a look!"
Zhuang Yun said repeatedly.
Gu Dan is not particular about clothes and always keeps things simple.
He wore a green robe all the time when he was in Dayue and Xia Dynasty. When he went to Buzhou Mountains and Zhenchuan, he wore a black robe from beginning to end. The biggest feature of his clothes was that they had no special features.
Ordinary people love fancy clothes. After all, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. If you don't take advantage of your youth to enjoy the precious time, wouldn't you have come to this world in vain? Do you have to wait until you are old and weak, on the verge of death, to put on fancy clothes, trembling, and walk on the street for half an hour? Life is short, so you should enjoy yourself while you can, laugh, scold, and be passionate, so that you will not be in vain.
Gu Dan took the knight's robe.
The robe feels very good to the touch, and it must be made of very fine fabric. It is white in color with gold and silver threads running through it. The patterns are intricate and exquisite. There is also a crane spreading its wings on it, and even its feathers appear lifelike, and the workmanship is very exquisite.
Such gorgeous clothing is definitely top-notch even among ordinary people.
"That's thoughtful."
Gu Dan nodded, looked at it twice, and then put the clothes away.
Fu Suxin, who was originally smiling, froze in expression.
Zhuang Yun was straightforward and asked, "Uncle Kong, why don't you put it on? You've already bought it, why don't you wear it?"
"It's not the right time yet. I'll wear it later."
Gu Dan said so.
"Clothes are worn new rather than old. If they are kept for a long time, what will happen if better ones come along? Isn't that a waste?"
Zhuang Yun scratched his head.
“There’s always something better.”
Gu Dan calmly replied: "Just do what you like. Why let others put shackles on you? Try to be someone who can influence others, rather than letting others influence you."
"oh."
Zhuang Yun seemed to understand, as if Gu Dan was telling him something, but unfortunately he couldn't comprehend it yet.
But it doesn’t matter.
He immediately grabbed the next gift and said, "This wooden sword was given to me by the merchant boy when I first went out to do justice. Today I want to give it to Uncle Kong. Thank you for your advice!"
Zhuang Yun took out the gifts one by one and told them all, from their origins to the stories behind them, in a very interesting way.
The two years he spent away were more exciting than the more than twenty years he spent in Ping'an Village.
His heart has become wild, and he wants to break away from the peaceful life here, enter the outside world, and make a difference.
There is nothing wrong with taking care of the worries.
The sun and the moon pass by slowly, the stars move and things change.
Life in Zhenchuan seems to have not changed much. This paradise is undisturbed by the outside world and it is rare to encounter an outsider over the years. It is indeed an excellent place.
In the calm, the passage of time sometimes seems to be fast, but without any waves.
The immortal has been here for one hundred and thirty-nine years.
It was just an ordinary day.
Ping'an Village was indeed peaceful and free from any disaster.
The only thing worth mentioning is that Zhuang Yun was promoted to Grandmaster.
Being promoted to Grandmaster at the age of 35 would definitely be considered a rare genius in the outside world, and he is even only a few years slower than the talented Fu Suxin when he was young.
But one thing I have to worry about is that my talent is really mediocre.
With his blood Qi's influence and blessing, and Ruo Mu's vitality as a backup when Qi and blood are blocked, his conditions are much better than before. It took him so many years to be promoted to a master. Isn't it just mediocre talent? In terms of cultivation, Zhuang Yun is indeed a bit like Zhuang Sheng, who doesn't take it that seriously.
Under such good conditions, he didn't think about madly improving his own strength, but was more thinking about making a difference. If outsiders knew about it, they would probably be so jealous that their eyes would turn red.
Zhuangzi saw through everything, and then became calm and inactive, detached from the world, and accepted it calmly.
Zhuang Yun did not care much about it, but threw himself into the world, enjoying it so much that he rarely stayed in Ping'an Village.
However, at least he was able to be promoted to Grandmaster, which met Gu Dan's expectations.
The children have grown up now, let them do whatever they want.
As long as it does not bring harm to the country and the people, everyone has the right to choose his or her own life, and Gu Dan has never restricted anyone in this regard.
He stayed calmly in his own world, waiting for the body of the Great Dao to be conceived and born, waiting for the environment to be suitable for the growth of cultivators.
The immortal classics were flipped through one by one, and then opened again.
The life of the immortals is so plain and boring.
Until the one hundred and forty-second year of the immortal's arrival.
On this day, Gu Dan was still reading the immortal classics. Even though he had already memorized the contents, he didn't mind reading it twice.
However, as he watched, the recliner beneath him began to shake slightly.
Quite mild.
But Gu Dan's sense was so sharp that let alone the slightest shaking, even a strand of hair suddenly appearing in the yard could not escape his perception.
"The ground shook?"
Gu Dan stood up from the recliner, closed the books, and placed them neatly on the stone table. He was not particularly surprised.
Zhenchuan is not a good place to begin with. There are frequent earthquakes and the geology is very bad. Otherwise it would be impossible for no one to disturb it.
However, Ping'an Village is in a very good location. Ordinary earthquakes usually don't affect this place. Otherwise, why would people settle down here?
Such a slight perception was probably not noticed by anyone except him.
As Gu Dan was thinking this, the recliner was shaking faster and faster, until it was noticeable with the naked eye.
"Um?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that this earthquake is not ordinary!
Immediately, his figure flashed and he arrived at Ping'an Village.
"There is an earthquake today. Don't panic. Leave your house in an orderly manner and take shelter in an open area. Don't worry about your property at this time. Your own life is more important."
When Gu Dan spoke, his voice shook the whole area, reminding the villagers of Ping'an Village to quickly come out of their houses and stay in an open area.
As long as the people are not buried by houses, a larger earthquake is not a big deal. The property loss can be compensated, but the loss of people is real.
However, just as he was about to remind the villagers, the feeling of the earthquake suddenly intensified again, and its speed far exceeded Gu Dan's expectations.
Looking into the distance, the earth was torn apart easily like paper, and a deafening echo came from the distant mountains. In this short moment, countless mountains were collapsing and the rivers and seas were roaring.
It seemed as if there was some immense power that was tearing the entire world apart!
Gu was worried and gave a strong warning, his hair stood on end!
He flew into the sky in an instant and looked down at the ground from above.
However, wherever you look, whether it is the wilderness or the mountains, the plains or the hills, there is almost no place spared, the only difference is where the damage is more severe and where it is less severe.
Everywhere you look, it seems like the end of the world has arrived!
Feeling extremely uneasy, Gu Dan directly activated his divine eye ability, focused his mind, and tried to look further away.
The same! The extremely strong earthquake was always looming.
The divine thoughts gathered and poured into the eyes.
In that pair of clear and deep pupils, there were incomparably complex divine patterns interwoven. As the divine patterns flowed, Gu Dan even felt waves of burning pain, and the distance he could see also expanded greatly in an instant!
But no matter how far you look, it's the same! The world seems to be turned upside down. The scope of the unprecedented earthquake has completely exceeded Gu Dan's cognition. This is not normal at all!
The world seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand, squashing and kneading it into a ball! "The earth dragon is turning over, the earth dragon is turning over! Everyone, run!"
The painful cries of the villagers of Ping'an Village could be faintly heard from below. Some people had already been buried under their houses by this sudden accident.
Gu Dan had no time to look at anything else, he jumped down and went to save people first.
No matter how powerful he was at this moment, he could not compare with the might of heaven and earth, nor could he suppress the torn land and collapsed mountains. He could only do his best to save the villagers who were implicated.
But when Gu Dan approached a crack where the heaven and earth were stirring, his body froze.
An extremely subtle, almost imperceptible spiritual energy slowly rises from the ground.
Extremely weak and extremely slow.
But you can't fake it.
If he had not come into contact with spiritual energy in Mount Buzhou and his spiritual power had not increased several times, he probably would not have been able to detect it.
Gu Dan turned his gaze to the sky. The sky was deep, vast, and dark blue, with no end in sight. There was an indescribable shock in Gu Dan's eyes.
Aura appears.
The sky lock has been opened! (End of this chapter)
