Chapter 348: Overcoming the Tribulation
If I want to know how they found me, I must disappear again.
Through the fight with the chief elder, Gu Zhifei discovered that the people here were almost not familiar with the formation.
Of course, this is not certain, but this is Gu Zhifei's best chance.
In her memory, she just found a way to hide.
However, the spiritual stones he had on him seemed insufficient to sustain the concealment formation for a few days.
If she hadn't hidden for a few days, these elders, who were so immersed in the excitement of the leader's return, would probably not have noticed that she was missing.
Where to find so many spirit stones became the first problem she needed to solve.
The formation consumes a huge amount of spirit stones, and Gu Zhifei cannot use her own spiritual power, so she needs to conserve her strength to deal with different situations.
She had almost used up all the spirit stones she had robbed before, and she didn't have much left in stock.
She couldn't enter the treasure house of Jinyuan Sect, so she could only set her sights on other disciples of Jinyuan Sect.
Of course, as a cauldron with no combat power, she certainly couldn't go there by herself, so she released the monsters in her Qiankun bag and ordered them to rob these disciples in the back mountain of Jinyuan Sect.
Gu Zhifei felt no guilt for doing this. After all, the Jin Yuan Sect was rotten to the core, and these disciples were not good people either.
Most of the disciples of Jinyuan Sect were at the Qi Refining Stage, and some had just entered the sect. Therefore, the monster was not damaged at all, and they had already collected nearly 1,200 spirit stones, all of which were handed over to Gu Zhifei.
These spirit stones are almost enough.
After preparing sufficient spirit stones, Gu Zhifei used them to set up a formation and hid himself inside, planning to live there for three days.
Of course, she would not be idle during these three days. She decided to sort out the formations in her mind, as she always felt that these formations would be of great use in the future.
What attracted her attention most was a green cover book placed in the storage bag.
The formation she had used to kill the chief elder was recorded in this green book and was called Mirror.
As the name suggests, a mirror is a formation with a rebound function, and this rebound effect can even completely rebound the opponent's attack. This is rare among cultivators and is very precious.
This green-covered book must at least be a book on earth-level martial arts.
Gu Zhifei was very focused on what she was looking at, and only raised her head belatedly after the elders from outside came in and broke her formation.
She saw that the elder walking in front was holding a dog on a leash.
The dog looked very strange. Its fur was very long, almost dragging on the ground, and there was a faint golden glow on its body, which made it seem somewhat familiar.
Gu Zhifei was just about to say that she seemed to have seen this dog somewhere before, but she felt a slight change in her dantian.
She looked carefully and found that the petals of a large lotus flower that had been in her dantian were slowly unfolding, and there was a meditating monk sitting inside.
The monk looked handsome, but the way he just stared at the dog could not be considered kind at all, and could almost be described as ferocious.
Gu Zhifei couldn't help but ask him, "Excuse me, what's wrong with you?"
Logically speaking, shouldn't monks be pure-hearted and calm about whatever troubles they encounter? Why is it that when it comes to him, the whole person is like a rabbit seeing a vicious dog? "Look at the Buddha's light on its body, it is clearly only the original relic that can have it. How can a demon beast have the relic of my Buddhist sect?"
After the monk's explanation, Gu Zhifei quickly understood the crux of the matter: It turns out that not only the people in the Jinyuan Sect are demon cultivators, but even the dogs have dealings with demon cultivators.
I had previously thought that this sect was full of villains, which was really an underestimation of it. Even their guard dog is quite powerful.
Gu Zhifei could also understand why the monk looked so unhappy. After all, no one could accept that his fellow disciple was refined by a monster.
She was thinking about the words and preparing to comfort the monk, but when she looked closely, she found that the monk had stood up at some point. He could actually leave his Dantian and be seen by everyone in an illusory way.
How much spiritual power would this cost her? Gu Zhifei felt depressed, and felt the spiritual power in his body draining away rapidly, but he did not stop the monk's actions.
This monster's insult to his Buddhist sect was too great. A monk with a bit of blood in his veins would not sit still and wait for death. Since he was in his Dantian, it meant that he had a good relationship with him. So, since he wanted to come out and take revenge, he would just turn a blind eye.
So, although Gu Zhifei was clearly capable of stopping the monk from causing trouble, he still let him go without interrupting him.
Seeing that she really didn't stop him, the monk reached out and broke the dog's neck. This was also what Gu Zhifei wanted to do.
Although it consumed a lot of her spiritual energy, she no longer needed to do it herself.
Generally speaking, this is a win-win situation. However, the people of Jinyuan Sect may not think so.
They didn't know where this monk came from, they only saw him appear out of thin air and disappear out of thin air. After all, who would have thought that a living thing could grow out of Gu Zhifei's Dantian?
If it weren't for the death of the carefully trained hound in front of them, others would probably think that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Amid their shock, Gu Zhifei talked to the monk in his Dantian: "When were you in my Dantian? Are we familiar with each other?"
Gu Zhifei was eager to recover her lost memories, but unfortunately, she could not get any useful information from the monk.
“Not familiar.”
The monk gave Gu Zhifei a concise answer. He lowered his head and silently sorted out the relics taken from the dog.
Each relic represents a monk. Gu Zhifei looked at the monk who displayed more than a dozen relics by himself, and he could understand his reluctance to talk.
But understanding doesn't mean she needs to indulge the monk in doing so.
"You can count them now, and you can keep counting them in the future. However, if you don't do anything, I'm afraid the number of relics you count will only increase until you have counted all of your fellow disciples."
The monk was stunned for a moment and put down the relic in his hand.
For some reason, Gu Zhifei always felt that this monk would refute her point of view. Perhaps all monks have some weakness in their personalities, and she felt that this monk in front of her was also the same, Gu Zhifei thought.
But the result was different from what she imagined. After the monk put down the relic, he looked at Gu Zhifei and said to her: "I think you are right."
"Unconditional concessions will only make the other side more aggressive. Killing to stop killing, violence to stop violence, may be the most correct way out at the moment."
After hearing his answer, Gu Zhifei felt as if he had corrupted a child.
For some unknown reason, the leader of the Jinyuan Sect only appeared that one time and then disappeared again. The entire Jinyuan Sect began to become leaderless again.
Gu Zhifei hoped that the Jinyuan Sect would become as chaotic as possible.
She set a fire at the east gate today, and added a handful of firewood to the west gate the day after tomorrow. In short, she would do whatever would make things uneasy, and was committed to turning Jinyuan Sect into a mess.
Fortunately, except for the head and the chief elder, the strength of the others is not enough. Although they can feel that someone is doing something wrong, they can't find out who is behind it.
This made Gu Zhifei more and more daring, and on the last day he even burned down the parliament building.
As for the monk, he was even more daring. He did not burn houses, but only people.
The first time he saw him in action, Gu Zhifei felt that he was very skilled. He even felt that he was not leading the children astray, because he was just an old guy.
After watching her for a while, she got used to it. Anyway, her spiritual power recovered quickly, so she could tolerate whatever the monk did.
This went on for about half a month, and the entire Jinyuan Sect was in a mess because of the two of them. Almost all the junior disciples ran away, and some of the disciples with higher status returned home. As for the rest, some died, some were injured, and there were basically few intact people.
The original Jinyuan Sect was full of talented people, but now it is deserted.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just when Gu Zhifei was thinking about quickly destroying the Jinyuan Sect so that he could run away and find his new world, something unexpected happened again.
That day, she had just set a fire and was about to escape when she suddenly saw the sky change drastically, as if someone was about to undergo a calamity.
It was not uncommon to survive a tribulation. In the world of immortal cultivation, people survived a tribulation almost every day. Perhaps they succeeded, perhaps they failed. Gu Zhifei had already taken it lightly and did not care about the result.
But this time the tribulation was obviously different. The whole sky was dark and bloody. This was not a normal tribulation. As far as Gu Zhifei knew, only fierce beasts or demon cultivators would have such signs when they were undergoing tribulation.
The Jinyuan Sect didn't have any ferocious beasts, so the only possibility was that it was a demon cultivator. Could it be that the old immortal leader of the Jinyuan Sect was about to come out of seclusion again? Gu Zhifei thought, that might be a bit troublesome.
Gu Zhifei thought about this and found that the monk in Dantian didn't look very good. He seemed to have thought of something and was a little nervous.
Gu Zhifei had been spending more time with the monk these days, and he had gotten to know him a little better, so he asked out of concern: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? I see that you don't look well, did you not get enough rest these days?"
The monk, however, was as if he was facing a formidable enemy and said to Gu Zhifei, "I'm afraid we have to leave here."
"Why?"
Gu Zhifei was not reluctant to leave Jinyuan Sect, but he was just not used to the new place.
And she had no memory, so where could she go? "After you survive this thunder tribulation, you will know what happened."
He glanced at Gu Zhifei, who wiped his hands silently and went about his own business.
Although Gu Zhifei didn't know how he pretended to be so since he had no physical body, couldn't lift anything, and couldn't use any tools.
However, she could see that the monk's current expression was one of guilt.
Gu Zhifei didn't want to care about him. Why should he feel guilty? He would soon find out the truth of the matter.
Compared to the monk, she has something more important to do now.
She felt that dark clouds were rushing towards her. This thunder tribulation was not meant to strike others, but was coming to strike her.
No! First of all, she is not a demon beast, and secondly, she is not a demon cultivator. What is this red cloud with a lifeless look for her for? Is there something wrong? As a poor furnace tripod, she was born to be bullied. Does the way of heaven also want to bully her?
Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, even if Gu Zhifei felt so much injustice and pain in his heart, he couldn't find anyone to listen.
The monk didn't care about her. He had already hidden in his dantian to refine the relics himself.
The monk said that once he found enough energy source, he would be able to reincarnate again as a disciple of Buddha.
She could even be reincarnated with some of her memories.
Gu Zhifei expressed his envy, but wondered if his situation was similar to that of the monk. He came here inexplicably, but had no memory of his previous life. In a sense, he was also an alien invader, except that he invaded other people's brains.
The clouds in the sky gradually gathered and there was a trend of increasing. The clouds were now thick and low, almost suffocating people. Gu Zhifei thought to himself, how much evil had he done to deserve such a thick cloud reward from the heavens.
However, no matter how much she thought, it was unnecessary. The way of heaven would not reduce the difficulty for her in the slightest because of her thoughts. The entire Jinyuan Sect seemed quiet and silent because of this thundercloud.
Maybe they have done too many bad things and are afraid of ghosts knocking on their doors. Jinyuan Sect, a serious magic sect, is actually most afraid of thunderstorms. They all stayed indoors without any prior agreement, and not even a single person could be seen on the road.
This made it convenient for Gu Zhifei. Since she was sure that this thundercloud was her own thunder tribulation, she carefully selected a suitable open space and decided to endure her thunder tribulation here.
In fact, Gu Zhifei was a little confused. She was already in the Golden Core stage. Was it too late for her to come now to overcome the tribulation? Or, after overcoming this tribulation, would she be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage? Gu Zhifei thought it was unlikely.
If she could really jump up the levels so quickly, those old guys in the Seven Stars Gate would be laughing to death.
Wait, Seven Star Gate?
Gu Zhifei seemed to be shocked by her own thoughts. When she thought about it carefully, all her memories came back like a tide. She remembered everything.
When she was fighting with Zhu Jiuyin, she accidentally fell into this other world. She lost her memory, but still had her instincts.
At least this instinct ensured that she did not have a bad time in Jinyuan Sect.
The thunder interrupted her confused thoughts, reminding her that the most urgent task now was how she could safely survive this thunder disaster.
The sin of killing in this opportunity was too heavy, and she met Zhu Jiuyin in the middle of the journey, so the test of heaven gave her the highest level of tribulation.
Of course, overcoming the most serious tribulation is not all bad. At least once you have overcome it, Gu Zhifei’s strength will increase significantly.
However, what bothered her was that the things she had prepared to overcome the tribulation were not only not practiced, but also not complete. So if she wanted to overcome the tribulation this time, she could only rely on her own ability.
