Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 303

Gu Nansheng nodded slightly. A determined look appeared on her face as she solemnly said, "Yes, you're all right! We'll take it one step at a time, deal with whatever comes our way. If we keep worrying about this and that, when will it ever end? Cultivation is the foundation of my life. This bead is too important to me. No matter what, I must get it!"

Once I understood, I felt relieved. I took a deep breath, unhesitatingly discarding the last trace of hesitation in my heart, and walked steadily forward with firm steps.

At this moment, Gu Shihan was focused, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her; her eyes were only on the radiant Creation Pearl.

As she drew closer, a strange feeling slowly welled up in my heart.

She could clearly feel a mysterious force, like a nimble little snake, frolicking joyfully within her body. Wherever this force went, it brought not a comfortable feeling, but waves of sharp pain, tingling, numbness, and astringency.

The feeling was as if thousands of tiny ants were gnawing at her bones and flesh, or as if countless steel needles were piercing deep into her bone marrow; it was truly unbearable.

Even this feeling of being worse than dead did not make the strong-willed Gu Shihan have the slightest thought of backing down.

Because she knew very well that since it was the legendary Creation Pearl, how could it be obtained by someone so easily?
Time passed quietly. Although the road was only a short distance of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), it felt like an eternity to Gu Shihan.

Each small step forward required a great deal of effort, and it took her about half an hour to finally complete what seemed like a short distance.

When Gu Shihan landed the last step steadily, all the pain that had been tormenting her vanished without a trace, as if all the suffering she had endured was just a dream.

At this moment, Gu Shihan's entire body was covered with a layer of fine, dark red sweat beads, which seemed to be silently telling everyone how difficult the journey had been.

Gu Shihan steadied herself, stretched out her left hand, and grabbed the bead. The moment the bead touched her palm, it melted into her palm in the blink of an eye.

As the bead entered her body, Gu Shihan felt her spiritual energy surge and explode with white light.

Multicolored streams of light burst forth from her body like fireworks, shooting straight toward Xingbai and Yutong, who were a dozen feet away, and then "whoosh" into their bodies.

Before Xingbai and Yutong could even react, they felt the immortal spiritual energy within their bodies becoming restless, and drowsiness washed over them like a tidal wave. With a "thump," they both collapsed to the ground and fell fast asleep.

Gu Shihan casually cast a purification spell, and the immortal spiritual power surged like boiling water.

She didn't care about anything else, quickly sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate and cultivate.

After nine days and nine nights, Gu Shihan finally awoke from her breakthrough. This time, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, directly leaping from the Immortal Lord stage to the Heavenly Immortal stage.

Gu Shihan used her divine sense to look inside and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Creation Pearl was firmly embedded in the pattern of the Moon Bracelet.

The space closed, and Xingbai turned into a stream of light and was sucked into the space. This is the prelude to an upgrade!
"Congratulations to the destined one on your great advancement in cultivation! Those who obtain this Creation Pearl are truly blessed. However, judging from your aura, you seem to be plagued by bad luck. I'm afraid a great calamity will soon befall you. What a pity!" The ethereal voice drifted over slowly, as if from a very, very far place. Hearing this, Gu Shihan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, senior. Is there any way to break free from this predicament?"

The ethereal voice paused for a moment, then slowly said, "It's unlikely to completely avert this calamity, but there are ways to mitigate it."

"Senior, please speak frankly!"

"Enough, enough. Now that you have obtained my Creation Pearl, I don't want you to perish prematurely. You need to find a thousand-year-old ice lotus, collect three dragon scales, and place them in a specific formation on the night of the full moon. This may resolve some of your bad luck."

Unfortunately, achieving this is by no means easy. Take the thousand-year-old ice lotus for example. It usually grows in extremely cold places, environments that are fraught with danger, where a slight mishap could lead to certain death.

"And let's talk about these dragon scales. They must be taken from a flood dragon, and flood dragons are extremely ferocious creatures, not so easy to deal with."

Gu Shihan frowned, but her eyes quickly hardened, and she said through gritted teeth, "Thank you for your advice, senior! Even if the road ahead is full of thorns and difficulties, I will do my best to try. After all, I don't want to lose my life so carelessly!"

Gu Shihan bowed three times to the void before turning around and standing in front of the stone gate. Following the order, she pointed and walked out of the cave.

She put Yu Tong into her sleeve pocket, and then left a short message for Shi Qinghan and the others, roughly explaining the current situation and her next action plan.

After doing all this, she embarked on her journey to the frigid land without hesitation, her figure gradually disappearing into the distant horizon.

Throughout her journey, she carefully avoided crowds to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Whenever she encounters those ferocious monsters from beyond the realm, she will not hesitate to use all her skills to kill them as quickly as possible.

The Immortal Realm is now in chaos. Although it is still far from the legendary land of extreme cold, she can clearly feel the raging blizzard and the merciless devastation of the icy rain.

Many places that were once prosperous have now become desolate ruins, which is heartbreaking.

At this moment, Gu Shihan had no time to care about any of that; she had only one firm goal in mind—to reach the extremely cold land as soon as possible.

Therefore, she didn't even bother to check the situation along the way, and just focused on speeding towards her destination.

It is worth mentioning that she possesses a large number of precious treasures, including many rare immortal treasures, and she even has quite a few teleportation talismans.

Gu Shihan was not stingy with these treasures, because she knew that her life was precious and time was of the essence. Only by acquiring what she needed as quickly as possible could she change her current unfavorable fate, find a glimmer of hope in this perilous immortal realm, and survive for a long time.
