The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 502 Three Calamities Gu

The wave of Cangming cold air began to dissipate again, and the heavens returned to an eerie calm.

On the spirit-catching ship of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, after Yu Sheng and the others returned, the fifth-order Taiyi who had ambushed Wang Wu but was severely injured in the process also slowly woke up.

For a moment, I felt somewhat lost, and even my memories were missing.

"Zhaofeng, do you remember what happened before?"

Yu Sheng asked in a deep voice, his gaze solemn.

"I—I—are we on a spirit-catching ship? Thank you so much, senior brother, for saving my life!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng's solemn gaze finally eased slightly, indicating that the problem was not serious.

"Do you know the specific details of who injured you this time, such as what he did to you?"

"Huh? The one who hurt me? Senior brother, I, we—wasn't I attacked by a giant fire spirit?"

Zhao Feng was taken aback and spoke.

At that moment, Yu Sheng's expression turned extremely ugly.

Because in their memories, the incident where his junior brother was swept away by the fire spirit Jingwei happened 35,000 years ago.

At that time, he was at the third level of Taiyi, while Zhao Feng was at the first level of Taiyi, and they had just qualified to board the spirit-catching ship.

How could this be? His soul was damaged so severely!

Damn it!
The situation was more serious than he had imagined!

"Quickly! Get him into the Soul Suppressing Tower! Since his soul has suffered such great damage, the hidden injuries in the elixir must be even more severe!"

After giving his instructions, Yu Sheng watched Zhao Feng being sent away and then sighed deeply, realizing that things were unlikely to end well.

He only wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but the other party was so brutal!
He knew that Zhao Feng had some hidden injuries, but he definitely couldn't have been brought to this state by just a dozen or so cold-weather birds.

There are definitely some extremely vicious methods hidden in this.

So, who exactly is on the other side?
Is it Lu Tong?
A shadow fell over Yu Sheng’s mind. Two thousand years ago, in the training grounds of the Outer Heaven, he faced Lu Tong and was defeated in just ten rounds. This was the greatest humiliation of his life!

But before he could avenge his humiliation, he heard the news that Lu Tong had been executed.

Good!

But besides Lu Tong, which other expert in the Frost Domain of the Hidden Origin Society has such strength?
Upon realizing this, Yu Sheng immediately rushed to a cave on the spirit-catching ship and said respectfully, "Uncle-Master Qin, I have something to ask you. My junior brother Zhao Feng was seriously injured by the other party. I would like to ask the Hidden Origin Society to give an explanation in the name of the Immortal Alliance!"

After a long while, a hoarse voice finally came from inside the cave!
"You stupid idiots who are inferior in skill! You can't win by playing dirty tricks, so you come back and coerce the Immortal Alliance into starting a war? I think you're all tired of living! How far do you want to escalate this? Do you want the Nine Alliances, Three Assemblies, and Two Sects to come and laugh at us?"

"Have you forgotten the Covenant between the Outer Heavens from 160,000 years ago?"

"Get out of here! Either get back at me yourself, or swallow your anger and pretend nothing happened!"

Yu Sheng was thoroughly scolded, and his face turned pale and then red, but he dared not retaliate. After leaving, he hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and seemingly making a decision.

At the same time, Wang Wu was rapidly analyzing everything about the Gu Spirit Pill. Now he could possess up to thirty-six strands of divine sense, so even without the help of the Four Clowns, his deductive and analytical abilities were still terrifyingly strong.

In particular, with the addition of the Heavenly Grade Divine Ability of Spiritual Enlightenment, although the process of enlightenment only lasts for a moment, the content revealed is actually very extensive, which can be reviewed and learned anew afterward.

Therefore, in just a few days, Wang Wu's understanding of the Creation Gu Spirit Pill was already quite comprehensive and profound.

"The Gu Spirit Pill and its cultivation system are still subject to the influence of Yin and Yang energies, and in this respect, they are no different from other cultivation systems."

"If there is a difference, it is only like a small tributary of a great river that detours in other directions, but it will still flow into the main stream in the end. Therefore, even a Gu Immortal can use the realms of Earth Immortal, Taiyi, and Daluo to prove the Dao."

"But what needs to be noted, and what is the biggest difference, is that while other cultivation systems are relatively peaceful, the cultivation system of Gu Ling Dan is very domineering. In summary, it is about seizing the innate and using the acquired talents to create one's own destiny. It is somewhat similar to resistance training, using active stimulation to perfect one's own Dao."

"And this seems to have been derived from the Dao of the demon race, improved upon, and finally perfected. In short, the immortal who created the Gu Spirit Pill is truly amazing."

Wang Wu was full of praise.

The demon race's journey of developing resistance is quite similar to the human race's cultivation system using the Gu Spirit Pill.

For example, he relied on hardship to build up his resistance along the way. He endured so much suffering, shed so much blood, and suffered so much pain. He developed resistance to various toxins and the three calamities. After reading this, most people would exclaim that the protagonist was being tortured.

But in reality, his journey of honing his resistance is still nothing compared to the cultivation system of Gu Spirit Pills, or those Gu-type immortals.

Because the demon race has innate advantages, with thick skin and strong defense against various negative statuses, it is something that the human race cannot easily exploit.

Therefore, if the human race wants to follow the path of Gu Spirit Pills, the price they will have to pay will be particularly severe.

The most important of these is to learn from the demon race how to refine and purify one's own bloodline.

The bloodline inheritance of the demon race is very strong, while that of the human race is weak. How can we purify it?
Easy. First, exterminate your own nine clans, trace back eighteen generations of ancestors, gather all bloodlines into one body, and fill in all possible gene chains. Then you can refine a special blood gu similar to the Demon Clan's Heart of the Earth.

this point is very important.

If you can't do that, you can't become a Gu-type immortal. And since you're so ruthless to your own nine generations of relatives, you don't need to think about how others would react if they encountered you.

Therefore, Wang Wu was very curious that it was a miracle that the Gu Spirit Pill system was not universally condemned in the cultivation world.

Of course, it's possible that everyone has already condemned it, but it's simply too powerful, so in the end, they can only grit their teeth and accept it, and can only grumble a few words in the shadows...

Because, apart from being too cruel to oneself and others, this Gu Spirit Pill is actually quite efficient and incredibly powerful.

It may even eventually be possible to cultivate into the Three Calamities Gu.

Yes, the Three Calamities Gu—refining all three calamities into immortal Gu—is indeed the direction that Gu-type immortals are striving for.

Like the guy he severely injured before, his hidden injuries were suspected to have been left when he was cultivating the Three Calamities Gu. Which normal Taiyi would damage his elixir like that?

Only a Gu-type immortal could do something like that; he's too ruthless to himself.

"It seems I'll have to work hard to max out the Three Calamities skill in the future, otherwise I'll be in deep trouble if I run into these Gu-type immortals."

Wang Wu was also a little scared; these guys were too ruthless.

"However, apart from the Three Calamities Gu, which is the ultimate weapon, the Gu Spirit Pill of the Gu Immortal is naturally full of malevolence, so once it is targeted, the consequences will be terrible."

"Like the Spring Silkworm Gu, it is specifically designed to counter those with strong souls, especially those with the talent of microscopic perception. Once you are touched, you will be infiltrated, just like the spread of a zombie virus. It is impossible to defend against and you must physically isolate yourself, otherwise it is very difficult to cure."

"Take the Great Cold Gu and the Great Heat Gu for example. Their core is the Cold-Weather Bird and the Fire Spirit Guardian. They are specifically designed to counter conventional supernatural powers and techniques. No, it's not exactly a counter, but rather they pull you into the opponent's familiar territory and then beat you up. That's not so bad."

"But the Dragon-Snake Gu and the Lion-Tiger Gu are quite sophisticated, possessing a righteous quality of using the opponent's own methods against them..."

Wang Wu wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

Because once activated, the Dragon-Snake Gu Spirit Pill of a Gu-type immortal can truly transform them into a giant dragon and possess its power. In other words, they could actually impersonate a dragon...

Similarly, the Lion-Tiger Gu Spirit Pill, once activated, can also transform one into a lion or tiger.

He had no doubt that if he were captured, he would be refined into a powerful Gu Spirit Pill by a Gu-type immortal.

So at this moment, he finally felt some pressure; that Yu Sheng was probably not easy to deal with...

Just as he was thinking this, Wang Wu suddenly had an idea. He came out of the cabin and saw a golden light falling straight down from above. It was obviously coming through the Nine Heavens Passage by being illuminated by the Yin and Yang energies.

Without Wang Wu even giving any instructions, the cricket dragons automatically opened the spirit-catching ship formation to welcome the angels.

In the blink of an eye, the golden light dissipated, and the phantom of an old man appeared. He held a scroll in his hand, glanced at Wang Wu, and then shouted, "I am the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance. I am questioning you about the personal feud between you and Yu Sheng, a fifth-rank elder of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance. Please answer truthfully."

what?
Yu Sheng is trying to make a big fuss, as if he's afraid the entire cultivation world won't know, right?

Wang Wu sensed something was wrong.

But at the same time, it was impossible to guess what Yu Sheng was planning, because as long as he hid in the spirit-catching boat and didn't get off for five years, Yu Sheng would have no way to deal with him.

At this point, the old man continued to ask questions.

First, is your name Wang Wu?

"Yes!"

"Secondly, are you the Lord of the Frost Domain of the Hidden Origin Society?"

"Yes!"

"Thirdly, do you agree to accept this personal duel, and are you aware of all the rules?"

"Yes!"

Fourth, were you coerced? Is it necessary for the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance and the Hidden Origin Society to intervene in this matter and investigate the cause and effect?

Huh?
Wang Wu was somewhat surprised. He glanced at the old man, but the other man remained expressionless. So what did Yu Sheng want to do?
Wait, could it be?
He understood; that made sense.

He immediately shook his head.

"no!"

“Good, Wang Wu, please place this Creation True Body Immortal Talisman between your eyebrows to verify your identity.”

"Here!"

Wang Wu calmly accepted the procedure. He had seen these procedures many times in the travelogues of Lu Tong and the other three. In fact, Lu Tong and the other three had engaged in many private feuds in the past, whether by choice or by force. This was truly the best way to make a name for themselves.

Now, Yu Sheng is doing the same thing.

In the blink of an eye, the True Body Immortal Talisman verified Wang Wu's true body, but it was unclear how the talisman was evaluated. Anyway, after the old man took it back, the document clearly marked him as having the strength of the third level of Taiyi.

Okay, whatever.

The old man then asked, "Wang Wu, Yu Sheng has now applied to duel you in the Trial Hall of the Outer Heavens. Do you agree?"
