Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 266 God’s Domain
The full moon hung high in the sky, its light shining precisely through the gaps in the valley and onto the opening in the mountain wall.

Qin Jiuyue waved his hand: "Go."

Gao Wu took the lead and walked ahead. When he arrived at the cave entrance, he felt a chilling aura emanating from inside.

He was physically strong and didn't care about the slight cold air, but his senses were sharp and he could easily sense the subtle differences between the inside and outside of the cave.

He stopped and reminded Song Mingyue and Chu Shenxiu behind him, "It's a bit cold, be careful to keep warm."

Song Mingyue didn't say anything, but gently tapped Gao Wu's vest with her hand, signaling him to stop rambling.

Chu Shenxiu replied cooperatively, "Received."

"Hahahaha..." Gao Wu suddenly found that Senior Brother Chu was quite interesting, even more interesting than Xiao Song!

He said, "Let's lighten the mood so everyone isn't too tense."

"Understood," Chu Shenxiu replied.

"But why wait for the moonlight to reach the cave entrance? Is it really that ritualistic?"

Gao Wu muttered to himself, he didn't think there was anything special about the moonlight, but what special power could the sunlight reflected by the moon have?
Perhaps the sunlight and energy reflected by the moon will have a special reaction?
Gao Wu activated the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon Armor, equipping his entire body with it. The Heavenly Destiny Sword was clipped diagonally to the back of the armor, while two Crimson Flame Thunder Eagles hung on either side of his thighs.

He also put on the Scarlet Eyes. The Scarlet Eyes weren't high-level, but their night vision was incredibly useful.

Adjusting to his optimal state, Gao Wu stepped into the cave entrance. Song Mingyue, following behind Gao Wu, also entered the cave without hesitation.

Chu Shenxiu paused slightly, and only after Song Mingyue's figure had completely disappeared did he step into the cave.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Souls is special; the three of them cannot form a team, so there is no need for him to follow too closely.

In just a short while, the moonlight shining on the cave entrance had shifted.

Qin Jiuyue stared thoughtfully at the deep cave entrance until the moonlight completely disappeared and the valley returned to darkness, at which point he let out a soft sigh.

Pei Jidao, who was standing to the side, was a little nervous. He didn't know what his teacher was sighing about, but he could tell that his teacher's feelings were complicated.

The Martial Saint is high above, and the teacher is deep and aloof, rarely showing his emotions so directly.

It's clear that the teacher attaches great importance to the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls.

Qin Jiuyue suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

That abrupt question made Pei Jidao even more nervous. He cautiously asked, "Is Teacher asking about Gao Wu or what happened today?"

Qin Jiuyue's dark golden eyes swept over Pei Jidao. He noticed his disciple's nervousness and restraint, and smiled, "Speak your mind."

Pei Jidao thought for a moment and said, "I think Gao Wu is too strange! Three months ago he was about the same as me, but now he can kill Stowe with one palm. He is completely overwhelming in terms of strength."

"Even a genius like Chu Shenxiu's progress rate is less than one percent of that of a high-level martial artist..."

He simply couldn't understand this; a century-old martial arts system simply couldn't provide a reasonable explanation for the situation of advanced martial arts.

Qin Jiuyue nodded. This disciple was finally a smart one; he had seen the real key point.

Indeed, Gao Wu's progress was beyond his comprehension.

This has almost nothing to do with martial arts; it is entirely the evolution of a high-level martial artist's physical and mental aspects.

In terms of physical strength, power, and agility alone, Gao Wu's body has reached a certain limit.

If you remove the source energy, Gao Wu's body is superior to his in many ways. This is extremely powerful.

What's even more impressive is that high-level martial arts can complete their evolution and transformation in a very short time.

Qin Jiuyue was also very curious about this. He silently observed Gao Wu's growth curve and found that there was no discernible pattern. In summary, Gao Wu had experienced several high-intensity battles in the past few months. However, his increased strength had no direct correlation with his opponents.

At first, he suspected that Gao Wu had obtained the Jade Seal of Destiny from his father.

Holding the Jade Seal of Heaven's Mandate, one is blessed with divine mandate, achieving everything, winning every battle, and ruling over all living beings.

The Jade Seal of Destiny can even gather the fortune of all living beings, empowering itself and possessing boundless divine power.

Gao Wu's journey was fraught with difficulties until he was taken in by Wuji, after which things became somewhat smoother. Moreover, Gao Wu lacked the supreme and unparalleled aura of someone destined for greatness.

Qin Jiuyue had never used the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal, but he was very familiar with its properties. He knew immediately after meeting Gao Wu that the latter had no connection to the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal.

However, Gao Wu was clearly a very special genius. Therefore, he made an exception and taught him the Dragon Form Fist, hoping to help Gao Wu grow faster.

He didn't care about Gao Wu's abilities; all he wanted was for Gao Wu to help him retrieve the Jade Seal of Destiny.

If one could possess the Jade Seal of Destiny, even if one couldn't defy the gods, one could at least gain a foothold in a chaotic world.

Gao Wu was attacked in Donghua. On the surface, it was because Qu Tianji was jealous and resentful of Gao Wu, but behind him stood Qu Hanshan, and behind Qu Hanshan were Venus and the Federation.

These powerful individuals were also very curious about advanced martial arts, and they wanted to try to unravel its secrets.

If Gao Wu truly possesses a special artifact, it will naturally be revealed upon his death. If things fail, it will only result in the death of Stowe, and at most, the loss of Qu Tianji.

Everyone has selfish motives.

Qin Jiuyue could understand Qu Hanshan's selfish motives. As long as the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, Qu Hanshan was useful and should not be touched.

He asked his disciple for his opinion, wanting to see how far the disciple could go. Pei Jidao was clever; not knowing his attitude, he didn't mention Qu Hanshan, but only Gao Wu.

Qin Jiuyue said to Pei Jidao, "Gao Wu has his own destiny and special talents, which is a good thing."

"You don't need to compete with Gao Wu. Just focus on your cultivation and don't spend too much time on other things. Condense your Origin Power Core as soon as possible. You'll be qualified to enter the Divine Realm Yingzhou at level seven. If you can obtain the Golden Elixir and Jade Paste, reaching level eight will be a piece of cake."

The Yingzhou Divine Realm is vast and boundless, where Qin Jiuyue, Hai Wuji, and Wei Qiankun all gained something, which laid the foundation for their level eight cultivation.

Unfortunately, they didn't find the golden elixir and jade paste that Qin Liuhe mentioned. Reaching level eight was their limit.

The main problem is that the Yingzhou Divine Realm is too vast and extremely dangerous. Each entry consumes a large amount of vital energy.

According to Qin Jiuyue's calculations, even if he condensed a true core and could precisely control his spiritual energy and blood source, staying in Yingzhou for a day would consume a hundred times his lifespan.

If it were an ordinary person, staying in Yingzhou for even a day would drain their lifespan and turn them to ashes.

This is terrifying... and it's the biggest limitation to exploring Yingzhou.

They possess a treasure trove, yet can only watch it unfold helplessly; this is truly frustrating…

Qin Jiuyue tried many methods and often went to other worlds to explore, hoping to find other ancient divine realms, but all his efforts were in vain.

As the other world accelerated its integration with the real world, Qin Jiuyue was starting to despair.

He had no other choice but to pin his hopes on Gao Wu.

As for Chu Shenxiu and Song Mingyue, it was an exceptionally dangerous yet valuable experience for them.

Of course, luck is unpredictable. So, he didn't stop Song Mingyue.

It's always good to have a little more hope...
