Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 262 The Origin of Mythology
"Great!"

Hai Wuji looked Gao Wu up and down and exclaimed in sincere admiration.

Gao Wu lay there motionless, so he could only get a general idea of ​​what was going on. But things were different once Gao Wu came back to life; every word and action involved various muscles, breathing, and changes in his source energy.

Overnight, Gao Wu's body became exceptionally strong and toned. The most direct manifestation of this was that Gao Wu's tens of millions of muscle fibers and smooth muscles became exceptionally strong.

Hai Wuji sparred with Gao Wu in the Holy Domain every day and had an exceptional understanding of his physical condition.

That's why he was able to see the tremendous changes that had taken place in Gao Wu.

If Gao Wu's muscle fibers were previously as strong and tough as steel wire, now his muscle fibers are like a special alloy, with their strength increased more than tenfold.

His bones and organs were also strengthened. Although Gao Wu's physical appearance did not seem to change, his muscle lines were actually two parts fuller, and his whole body was exceptionally tight, tough and full of power.

It's like a level seven beast condensed into a human body; its physical strength and power have already exceeded the limits of normal humans.

Even with the most advanced biochemical modification technology, it can only strengthen bones and skin, not muscle fibers.

The human body is a complex structure. Biochemical modification technologies are always accompanied by various negative effects, causing great harm to the human body.

Gao Wu's superpower is to directly enhance it to the limit, and then keep his body in a vibrant and optimal state.

Hai Wuji was somewhat envious. He could easily master high-level martial arts, but his physical condition could never reach that level.

A strong body is the foundation for everything. Putting aside pure physical strength, Gao Wu's current strong body allows him to bear more source energy and withstand more extreme bursts of source energy.

If he had a body of high martial arts, his combat power would increase by at least 50%, enough for him to sweep away all those of the same level!
Hai Wuji said, "If you can teach me this special ability, I'm willing to become your disciple!"

"How could I dare! Master is joking..." Gao Wu said, but his upturned lips were full of smugness.

"Come here, let me see how much you've improved!"

Seeing that the kid was really smug, Hai Wuji decided to teach his disciple a small lesson to help him calm down.

Hai Wuji casually pressed down, and his slender hand was already in front of Gao Wu. In Gao Wu's perception, Hai Wuji's speed was clearly not fast, because the entire process of his attack was clearly visible.

However, Hai Wuji's casual strike was too much for him to dodge. He could only unleash his power and strike back with a palm.

This palm strike, "The Dragon Regrets," combines the power of muscles with the enhancement of source energy. Except for the absence of the divine incantation, it represents his strongest power.

As their palms clashed, Gao Wu felt the powerful and fierce palm force strike empty air. He naturally transformed his palm force, changing from hard to soft and from advancing to withdrawing. Hai Wuji's seemingly empty palm, however, unleashed a sharp palm force as sharp as a sword.

Gao Wu could only unleash his palm strike again to counter Hai Wuji's attack, but Hai Wuji's palm strike once again became weak and ineffective.

The palm strikes of both sides changed in an instant. Gao Wu was ultimately far inferior in terms of martial arts. Although he was strong, he was unable to exert his power when facing Hai Wuji.

When Hai Wuji truly exerted his power, his palm strike penetrated Gao Wu's entire body, causing him to feel numb all over. His blood seemed to suddenly boil and burst open, turning his whole body crimson.

Hai Wuji knew his disciple was physically strong, so he used a perfectly measured palm strike, injuring Gao Wu but not seriously.

Gao Wu stood there for a while before he could suppress his surging emotions. He chuckled dryly, "Master, are you trying to clean house..."

"Not bad. It can still jump around after taking a bit of my palm strike."

Hai Wuji ignored Gao Wu's small complaint and commented, "The strength is not bad, but the strength and source power have not been able to truly coordinate."

"Your body possesses a unique sharpness, which, combined with powerful strength and source energy, can give your enemies a great surprise."

"Don't practice swordsmanship these next few days. Focus on mastering the Dragon Form Fist."

Gao Wu nodded hurriedly: "That's what I think too."

The White Tiger Divine Weapon Mantra permanently imbues his body, making him as powerful as a divine weapon. Combined with his immense strength, this truly gives him a significant advantage in close combat.

The key is that he also has the Yin Spirit controlling the Heavenly Fate Sword, so one person can do the work of two!

Hai Wuji said, "Your mechanical warhorse has been modified externally, but its internal structure is very complex and involves the operation of source energy, so the materials cannot be changed at will."

"Mingyue's sword has been modified. It's a fine sword."

The Glory Saber was originally a seventh-tier divine weapon, but it was useless to Gao Wuwu, so he asked Hai Wuji to help modify it into a sword and give it to Song Mingyue.

"Thank you, Master." Gao Wu was very happy; it was good to have a teacher.

Twenty tons of ultrapure diamond crystals are extremely valuable, but using them properly is not easy.

Whether it's modifying swords or mechanical warhorses, it's an extremely precise and complex undertaking.

A high-level laboratory is necessary to have sufficient equipment and senior engineers.

Ankyo University also has laboratories, but their level is very low. Well, it's not exactly low, considering it's the strongest university in the North State; it's just that they're several levels below the Sword Saint's laboratory.

Without a doubt, his teacher's laboratory was the highest level in the alliance, and even among the world's top-tier facilities. Hai Wuji patted Gao Wu on the shoulder: "The Hall of Ten Thousand Souls is very dangerous. Your strength is relatively below level seven. Don't take risks. Coming back alive is the most important thing."

He said with a somewhat complicated expression, "As for your grandmaster, he's been gone for decades, so there's no use in rushing him. At your rate of progress, you'll catch up with me in two or three years."

"You also have a good chance of surpassing your grandmaster. The future of the alliance rests on your shoulders!"

Seeing Gao Wu's unreasonable and continuous improvement, Hai Wuji also placed high hopes on this disciple.

Gao Wu was quite confident in surpassing his teacher, after all, he only needed 1 billion merits to improve his innate talent.

As for the grandmaster, that's hard to say. It takes 40 billion merits to advance the divine spell to a higher level, and who knows how long that would take to accumulate.

Gao Wu asked, "Master, yesterday Venus led me into the Pantheon, and she said that a level nine is only a demigod."

"The Pantheon?" Hai Wuji interrupted Gao Wu, a look of doubt in his eyes. "Are you sure?"

"Well, Venus herself said so. That hall looks very grand, and the details are realistic..."

After listening to Gao Wu's description of the Pantheon, Hai Wuji fell into deep thought. Gao Wu, standing to the side, was also a little embarrassed; he had been too excited and forgotten to tell his teacher about it.

“The Pantheon…” Hai Wuji sighed. “They are really lucky to have found the ancient divine realm that corresponds to their mythology. These artifacts are relatively compatible with them and can unleash extremely powerful abilities.”

Gao Wu was a little surprised: "The otherworld has a corresponding divine realm in mythology?"

"What do you think otherworldly realms are?" Hai Wuji asked.

Gao Wu shook his head. He had only been to the otherworld once, where he used a nuclear bomb to kill a giant snake. He knew absolutely nothing about the otherworld, so how could he dare to speak carelessly in front of Hai Wuji?

"In my view, other worlds are also divided into different levels, and are not a complete whole. Multidimensional space is not quite accurate. You can think of different levels of other worlds as different planets, with vastly different environments and life forms."

"Some other worlds have certain connections with our planet, and there is a mutual influence between them. For example, the celestial realm and hell in mythology can be regarded as other worlds. Gods and Buddhas are not necessarily all fictional."

"The Olympus realm that the Federation found is the origin of their mythology. Of course, there isn't a strict correspondence between them."

Hai Wuji said, "Your grandmaster realized long ago that the real world would be swallowed up by the other world. He went deep into the other world in order to find the corresponding divine realm and hoped to obtain a powerful artifact to protect the alliance."

"The reason I sent you to the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls is because this secret realm is somewhat special. Your grandmaster specifically mentioned it before."

Gao Wu was also shocked. Such a thing was true! His teacher was really tight-lipped, only telling him now.

Hai Wuji added, "Your grandmaster also possessed a peerless divine artifact. It was extremely powerful."

He sighed as he spoke: "Senior Brother Qin probably felt that something had happened to your grandmaster, and he thought that even if the person was gone, he would still find that divine artifact."

"Actually, that artifact is too powerful, and only your grandmaster could wield it. Giving it to us wouldn't be of much use..."

Hai Wuji shook his head: "In short, you don't need to be so fixated on this. The so-called divine artifact is just something whose operating mechanism we don't yet understand."

"It's like if you take a cell phone back to ancient times, the ancients can quickly learn how to use it. However, they would never figure out how a cell phone works in their entire lives. To put it bluntly, it's simply a huge difference in their level of knowledge."

"Remember, gods are not omnipotent, fate is not predetermined, and time cannot be reversed. If you take this as your guide, you will not get lost."

Gao Wu nodded in acceptance. What may not be an irrefutable truth is, however, the valuable life experience of the Martial Saint!

On July 15th, the large military transport plane roared down to land.

Pei Jidao, Qu Tianji, and Chu Shenxiu stood side by side to welcome Gao Wu, who had come from Dongji Island.

The transport plane slowly opened its rear compartment, and a tractor-trailer slowly glided out, pulling a large container.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue followed the car out. They were both dressed in black combat uniforms and wearing sunglasses. Gao Wu carried a sheathed longsword and had two red-gold pistols hanging in quick-release holsters at his waist.

Gao Wu saw Chu Shenxiu and the others from afar and waved with a smile. He was quite surprised that they came to pick him up.

Qu Tianji's rough face remained expressionless. He used his mental power to mutter to Pei Jidao and Chu Shenxiu, "This kid's smug and arrogant attitude is really annoying!"

Pei Jidao said calmly, "He just killed Lightning Ars in the duel. That was a true level six expert. Of course he would be very proud of himself."

"Huh?" Qu Tianji was unaware of this news. His face was full of surprise. Lightning Ars could control the power of lightning. Although he was not very famous, his strength was extremely powerful.

Such a powerful figure was actually killed by Gao Wu in a duel?! His first reaction was that it was impossible, but Pei Jidao was not joking with him.

Qu Tianji immediately fell silent.

Chu Shenxiu said softly, "Gao Wu has improved too quickly. I am far behind. Some people say that he is a dragon among men, unparalleled in the world, and that is indeed true."
