Chapter 36 Courageous Gu!
Chapter 36 Courageous Gu!
In the Papal Palace of Wuhun City.
Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne, listening to the reports from Moonlight and Ghostly, a cold glint appearing on her elegant and noble face.
"Hmph, I didn't expect the Clear Sky Sect to have so many Title Douluos after years of dormancy!" She chuckled and said to the two below, "You've done well!"
"This time, the two of you will lead the Holy Maiden and the others into the Star Dou Great Forest to capture that damned rabbit!"
"I await your triumphant return! By then, the number of elders in the Hall of Offerings may have increased from seven to nine!"
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's breathing quickened.
Given Bibi Dong's current dominance over the Spirit Hall, she is absolutely capable of doing this!
The two bowed their heads and clasped their hands, saying:
"Moon Gate, Ghostly Spirit, by His Holiness the Pope's command!"
……
[Ding! Soul Tempering at Soul-Slaying Mountain is now open!]
The scene before Ye Ming changed again, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on a rugged mountain.
The mountain, hundreds of meters high, constantly emits a peculiar vibration. This vibration can shake the very soul, making it a death trap for all living things.
The moment Ye Ming appeared on the mountain, he was struck by this fluctuation.
"Hmm!"
He felt as if he had been hit on the head with a heavy hammer, and his vision was filled with stars.
After a short while of recuperation, he recovered.
Ye Ming realized he was at the foot of the mountain, so he braved the tremors and headed up the mountain.
After walking for a while, he looked at his feet and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"They found a gallstone so quickly!"
Gallstones grow on mountain rocks, resembling human gallbladders, and are of mixed colors. Without careful examination, they can easily be mistaken for ordinary stones.
Ye Ming squatted on the ground, and a dark golden Haotian Hammer appeared in his right hand. With a gentle tap, he broke open the gallstone.
As soon as the gallstone shattered, a Gu worm flew out from it, transforming into a gray, ghostly light that burrowed into his body.
Ye Ming suddenly felt a clearing of his mind, and a brand new power replenished his soul, even the tremors of the Soul-Sweeping Mountain were greatly reduced.
The souls of living beings are shattered by the Soul-Sweeping Mountain, and only over time will they form gallstones.
Having gained experience, Ye Ming looked up and saw that the mountain was covered with countless gallstones.
Only some of these gallstones contain gallstone gu, which can strengthen a person's soul.
"That means this Gallstone Gu can only exist for a fleeting moment before it disappears. Otherwise, I would have to store a whole bunch of them in the system space!"
Ever since he failed to harvest any moonflowers last time, Ye Ming has thought about storing them in his system space whenever he encounters such a situation.
Unfortunately, apart from the last time, either there wasn't enough time or it simply couldn't fit in.
Ye Ming was full of energy at this moment, just like a miner, using his Haotian Hammer to hammer and pound on the Soul-Slaying Mountain, searching for the Gallstone Gu to strengthen his soul.
In just a short while, he obtained eighteen more Gu worms to replenish himself.
Of course, the soul cannot be strengthened by the Gallstone Gu indefinitely.
If the soul is not sufficiently refined, the excessive expansion caused by using a large number of gallstone gu will lead to an irreversible disaster!
When the soul expands to its limit, it will eventually explode with a "bang," and the soul will be scattered to the winds!
However, Ye Ming's soul was already much more refined than that of ordinary people after he transmigrated here, and after countless temperings, it is now extremely refined.
For him right now, using a hundred Gallstone Gu to reach the level of a hundred souls is still not a problem.
A profound spiritual foundation is beneficial, whether for refining Gu or using slave Gu worms to enslave beast hordes. At least for Ye Ming, he no longer needs to worry about Tang San's so-called Purple Demon Eye's mental attacks.
"Ninety-six, ninety-seven... one hundred!"
"Ah~ that feels so good."
Ye Ming smashed the last gallstone and murmured with satisfaction.
At that moment, he felt incredibly comfortable, as if he were floating on clouds.
This kind of spiritual comfort is more attractive and more pleasurable than the pure desire of listening to music in a brothel!
His inner strength is many times greater than it was at the beginning!
With his soul enhanced, he felt more at ease whether pondering problems or multitasking.
Looking at the remaining gallstones at his feet, Ye Ming seemed to hear a voice in his mind.
"Just one more! Just the last one!"
"This feels so good, I want it to feel good again!"
But Ye Ming knew that if he used another Gallstone Gu, his soul would be overwhelmed and explode!
Desire, if left unchecked, can lead one to ruin.
Without hesitation, he dispelled the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, his eyes filled with calmness.
"Now that I have achieved the Soul of a Hundred, if I wish to further enhance my soul, I must refine it once more!"
"If I can obtain a Gu worm that can condense souls in the future, or go to Fallen Valley to feel the wind, my soul will be solid enough."
Just as Ye Ming was pondering this, the scene before him suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, he was back in the cave.
Having experienced so many spatial transformations, Ye Ming had become accustomed to it.
With his soul strengthened, Ye Ming's control over his own strength became more solid.
Now that my cultivation has reached the advanced stage of the second rank, it's just the right time to use that Crimson Iron Relic Gu together!
Otherwise, once his cultivation reaches the peak of the second stage, this Crimson Iron Relic Gu will be wasted.
Ye Ming focused his mind on the void, and with a thought, the Crimson Iron Relic Gu that was still floating above the Sea of True Essence exploded, transforming into a dense mass of True Essence that surged within his Sea of True Essence.
A wisp of dark red true essence appeared in the originally deep red true essence sea. As time passed, the true essence in the entire true essence sea began to change.
A day passed quietly, and Ye Ming quietly opened his eyes in the cave.
The true essence within his body has now completely turned into dark red true essence!
Within a month of arriving in Douluo Continent, he had already become a peak second-stage Gu Master!
His soul power cultivation has also reached level 30!
Ye Ming still had two drops of Thousand-Year Sacred Soul Liquid left unused. This time, his Gu Master cultivation level had surged by several minor ranks, and his Soul Power cultivation would inevitably increase significantly as well!
He had a feeling that after obtaining the third spirit ring, his spirit power would experience an explosive increase!
At this rate, obtaining a god-level extraordinary talent is not out of the question!
In the main world, where all races vie for supremacy, he too can go and compete for the cherry blossoms!
"Phew~"
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Ye Ming temporarily put these thoughts aside and carefully examined the Gu worms he possessed.
First transformation: Black Pig Gu.
Second Transformation: Water Cover Gu, Shadow Follower Gu, Hidden Scale Gu, White Jade Gu, Four Flavors Wine Worm, Moonlight Gu, Moon Rainbow Robe.
Third Transformation: Thunderwing Gu, Heavenly Lotus Gu, Wind-Following Ear Gu, Treasure Moon Gu, Wind and Moon Wheel Gu.
Fourth Rank: Blood Skull Gu.
"Although I now possess so many Gu worms, I am not yet proficient in using some of them."
Ye Ming stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "In a life-or-death battle, any carelessness can lead to disaster!"
"Besides acquiring spirit rings and collecting materials for combined training, we must master the use of these Gu worms during this trip into the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and Gu (a type of poisonous insect) is the essence of heaven and earth.
Beasts may be terrifying, but the human heart is even more venomous!
After thinking it through, Ye Ming prepared to leave the cave to find a suitable soul beast and obtain his third soul ring.
Now that Yue Guan and Gui Mei have presumably returned to Wu Hun City, the Soul Hunting Operation should begin in the near future.
He also needs to seize the time and do his best to improve his skills.
The Douluo Continent is about to be thrown into turmoil!
Without sufficient strength, one doesn't even have the right to reap benefits.
Just then, Ye Ming seemed to hear voices outside. He quickly activated the Wind-Following Ear Gu, and a clear voice entered his ears.
"Yiran, there seems to be a cave here. Let's go in and rest for a bit, and wait for your grandfather..."
