Gu Chen remembered that the reward for first place in this year's clan competition was a portion of blood mercury.
Now that the Soul-Inducing Flower has been obtained, all we need to do is find the demonic beast Zhihu, obtain its inner elixir, and form the ultimate death-killing and annihilation formation.
By leveraging the power of the Three Ultimate Formations, even people with ancient innate realm cultivation can break through the Sumeru Vajra Formation.
By then, all the elixirs in the garden will belong to Gu Chen.
The only ingredient missing right now is the Burning Tiger Neidan.
Although Zhihu likes to live in the underground molten fire, not all volcanic caves are inhabited by Zhihu. It is not easy to find the monster Zhihu, and you have to rely on luck.
After practicing for a night, Gu Chen's cultivation level has improved a lot. With the temporary improvement of his realm, Gu Chen doesn't feel like a bottleneck. As soon as his cultivation level is reached, he can automatically break through.
Daily hard training is an indispensable lesson for Gu Chen. Whether Zhihu can find it or not, the result is not particularly important. If the cultivation level is not improved, it is a big problem.
We have reached the second level of Xiantian, which is still more than 90,000 miles away from Leshui City. It will take a month for Guchen's imperial weapon to fly.
There are still about three months until the clan competition at the end of the year, and Gu Chen still has two months to look for Zhihu.
If you are in the Divine Sea Realm, it would be much easier to find a Scorching Tiger. The key point is that Gu Chen is only on the second level of the Xiantian Realm. In the Eastern Wasteland, it is only within a few tens of thousands of miles, which can be considered a safe zone.
Searching in dangerous areas is really not an easy task. Although demon birds are very few in the proportion of demon beasts, it is not difficult to encounter a demon bird in the Eastern Wasteland.
It was difficult for Gu Chen to deal with the demonic birds in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, and the speed of the demonic birds was much faster than that of human monks. Gu Chen was able to escape from the demonic birds in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm with the Swift Feather Cloak.
The demon birds in the late stage of the Xiantian realm are one point faster than the poisonous dragons. It is definitely a bad thing to encounter them.
The monsters in the Eastern Wilderness basically divide their territories based on strength. The more powerful the monsters are, the deeper they go into the Eastern Wilderness.
After a hundred thousand miles deep, there will be demonic beasts from the Divine Sea Realm. A hundred thousand miles outside, it is the territory of the Xiantian Realm monsters.
Within 30,000 miles, most of the demonic beasts are in the early stage of the Xiantian Realm. Within 30,000 to 60,000 miles, most of the demonic beasts are in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm. Within 60,000 to 90,000 miles, most of the demonic beasts are in the late stage of the Xiantian Realm.
The area where Gu Chen is now is exactly where monster beasts frequently appear in the late Xiantian realm.
Even with the Swift Feather Cloak in hand, Gu Chen was not willing to stay in the area where monsters were in the late Xiantian realm for a long time. He maintained a high degree of vigilance and flew due west every day.
It wasn't until he flew into the area infested by monsters in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm that Gu Chen started searching for Zhihu, and spent a lot of time practicing every day.
Practicing in the East Wasteland is faster than retreating at home. This has something to do with people's state of mind. Being in the forest of the East Wasteland makes people feel more comfortable than being locked up in a room.
After refining the Yuanling Pill and absorbing a large number of spiritual stones every day, Gu Chen's innate true energy has grown by leaps and bounds, and he can feel that his cultivation is gradually strengthening every day.
When encountering a monster in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm, if it is on the fourth level, Gu Chen will have a battle with it and gain insights during the battle, which is more effective than meditating.
If it is an innate fifth- or sixth-level monster, then just turn around and run away without saying a word.
Day after day, in the blink of an eye, Gu Chen searched within a range of 30,000 to 60,000 miles in the Eastern Wasteland for nearly two months.
During this period, I fought many monsters and beasts, and my cultivation level improved greatly. My innate energy was much different than when I first entered the second level of the innate realm.
There are only more than a month left before the clan competition. In the past two days, Gu Chen has also felt that his cultivation has reached the peak of the second level of the Xiantian Realm and has touched the barrier of the second level of the Xiantian Realm. It seems that in the past few days, his cultivation will be able to
It has broken through to the third level of innateness.
There was still no news about Zhihu, and he was about to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, so Gu Chen put all his thoughts on cultivation.
After five consecutive days of constant impact, he finally broke through the second-level barrier, and his realm improved again, entering the third-level innate realm.
The year has passed, and there is still one month left until this year’s clan competition.
Gu Chen counted the days and found that in eleven months, which was less than a year, Gu Chen's cultivation had gone from a waste material at the second level of the Houtian Realm to the third level of the Xiantian Realm.
In Leshui City, those at the third level of the Xiantian Realm are also among the masters. How many monks spend their entire lives struggling to enter the Xiantian Realm?
A Xiantian monk who can fly with weapons is like an immortal to the mortals in Leshui City.
At the third level of the Xiantian Realm, you can start to practice the third level of the Tiangang Body Tempering Technique. In the previous life, Gu Chen practiced the Tiangang Body Tempering Technique to the tenth level. With full experience in each level of cultivation, he practiced the Tiangang Body Tempering Technique at the third level.
It won't take long.
After entering the third level of the Xiantian Realm, Gu Chen spent several days stabilizing his cultivation. As the clan competition at the end of the year was approaching, he embarked on his return journey.
At the third level of the Xiantian Realm, using the Quick Feather Cloak to accelerate, the escape speed is much improved compared to the second level. Every day, Gu Chen flies three thousand miles to the west. In the remaining time, he finds a place to practice the Tiangang Body Tempering Technique.
The third level.
After twenty days of this, Gu Chen finally left the Eastern Wasteland, and Leshui City was in front of him.
After daily hard training, the third level of Tiangang Body Tempering Dafa has been practiced to 60 to 70%. At this rate, it will only take half a month to complete it.
With experience in previous lives, the process of cultivation is always smooth and without any detours. Not only is the speed of cultivation greatly increased, but the bottlenecks in cultivation are also greatly reduced.
With almost no obstruction, Gu Chen rose all the way to the third level of the Xiantian Realm. The barriers on each level could not stop Gu Chen's upward trend in cultivation.
Leshui City was right in front of him. Gu Chen flew directly into Leshui City without landing.
Now that his cultivation has reached the third level of the Xiantian realm, he will return to the Gu family with force.
With the Swift Feather Cloak in hand, no monks in Leshui City could pose a threat to him. Even the seventh-level monks in the Xiantian Realm would have to be defeated by Gu Chen in terms of speed.
In the clan competition, Gu Chen would have to use the strength of the innate realm anyway, so Gu Chen didn't have to dodge for fear of others knowing that he had entered the innate realm.
However, there were too many hidden enemies. Gu Chen only showed his cultivation at the first level of the Xiantian Realm. It was enough for people to know that he was already a Xiantian Realm monk. If there were hidden enemies coming, he could also paralyze the enemies.
The current strength is far from the time for a complete showdown.
A ray of sword light streaked into Leshui City from the east, attracting the attention of many people, especially the people of the Gu family, who were located in the east city and could clearly see the people coming with the sword.
"Gu Chen? Flying with a weapon? Are you dazzled? He is only eleven years old and he has actually entered the innate realm?" Suddenly, many Gu family members rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
However, after rubbing it several times, the facts in their eyes could not tolerate their disbelief. If the person wielding the sword in the air was not Gu Chen, who could he be?
Although his appearance is not very clear in the air, the white fox on his shoulder is his unique symbol.
The last time Gu Chen disappeared for four months, he returned to Leshui City and reached the ninth level of Houtian Realm, which shocked a large number of people.
This time, Gu Chen had been missing for five months. When he returned to Leshui City, his cultivation had reached the first level of the Xiantian realm, which shocked everyone again. They were completely shocked.
The news of Gu Chen's high-profile return and entering the innate realm instantly spread throughout the Gu family. Everyone was happy, everyone was sad, but without exception, everyone was shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
A year ago, he was just a useless person on the second level of Houtian Realm.
A year later, he actually became a great monk at the first level of Xiantian Realm.
It was surprising enough for Gu Chen to step into the ninth level of the Houtian Realm. Unexpectedly, within a year, he would break through the Innate Realm again...
In the history of Leshui City, there has never been such a perverted genius. No, he is not a genius. He is simply a monster.
Yunxuan, the number one genius in Leshui City, was born at the seventh level at the age of 13, at the ninth level at the age of 15, and at the age of 16 at the first level... Compared with Gu Chen, he is not even a scumbag.
Gu Chen is only 11 years old. Even a monk knows how far the distance is between the 11-year-old innate first-level and the 16-year-old innate first-level.
Just showing the first level of Xiantian Realm deeply shocked the people in Leshui City. If they knew Gu Chen's true cultivation level and had already entered the third level of Xiantian Realm, I wonder what everyone would think?
Gu Chen did not stay in the air. After entering the sky above the Gu family, he quickly landed in his courtyard.
"Chen'er... you... have you stepped into the innate realm?" Gu Cangqiong had been watching in the courtyard when Gu Chen landed and immediately walked over.
Surprise, indescribable surprise in Gu Qianqiong's heart, his voice trembled slightly.
Gu Chen looked at his father and saw that Gu Cangqiong had already entered the fifth level of the Xiantian Realm, and the Yuanling Pill he had refined was indeed not in vain.
Gu Chen nodded, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Dad, you have also reached the fifth level of the Xiantian Realm."
"Okay, okay, okay..." Gu Cangqiong shouted three times in a row, looking at Gu Chen as if looking at a treasure, and said happily: "My son has a future, my son has a future, haha... What Gu Song
, what Gutai, what Yunxuan Liu Baisheng... my son is the most promising, haha..."
Although what Gu Cangqiong said was true, he said it so excitedly that Gu Chen's face turned red. However, seeing his father so happy made him very happy.
"Your mother has a spirit in heaven. Knowing that you have reached the innate realm at the age of eleven, she will definitely smile, haha..." Gu Cangqiong said with excitement on his face.
"Dad, let's go into the room and talk!" Gu Chen reminded him when he saw that his father was so excited that he forgot what he was doing.
"Okay, okay, let's go into the room and talk." Gu Cangqiong took Gu Chen's hand and said as he walked: "Chen'er, did you encounter any dangers when you went to the Eastern Wasteland? Tell dad quickly, there will be a few of you as soon as you leave.
Yue, dad is worried about you every day."
Entering the room, Gu Chen did not immediately talk about his experience in Donghuang, but asked: "Dad, has anything happened to the Gu family in the past few months since I left?"
Gu Cangqiong thought for a while and said: "There is something wrong. On the same day you left, Gu Canghai also disappeared and has not come back yet. The second elder said that he also went to the Eastern Wasteland. Have you met him?
"
"No, I practiced within a thousand miles when I entered the Eastern Barren. Uncle Canghai must have gone tens of thousands of miles into the Eastern Barren! Maybe there was something holding him back, and he came back after finishing it." Gu Chen said, thinking in his heart.
One sentence: Unless you become a zombie and crawl out of the soil, you will never come back!
Gu Canghai's death, like Gu He's, would not be acknowledged even if Gu Chen was killed.
Gu Chen asked again: "Besides Uncle Cang Hai, is there anything else?"
"Hmph..." Gu Cangqiong's tone suddenly changed and he said: "There is nothing wrong with the Gu family, but the Liu family stepped on the Gu family's head."
"Liu family?" Gu Chen's eyes lit up.
Gu Cangqiong said: "That old man Liu Huayuan actually asked the Gu family to give up half of the mining business to him. He was so loud and asked me to give up the Beitaishan mine by name. Hmph..."
Beitaishan mine? Gu Chen frowned, Liu Huayuan would definitely be a disaster if he stayed in the world.
Gu Chen said: "The Liu family has the biggest interests in Leshui City. Aren't you satisfied? Do you want the Gu family to give up half of their business? The Gu family is one of the three major cultivation families, how dare he force it?"
Gu Cangqiong sighed and said: "The Liu family has two seventh-level Xiantian realm monks. Their strength is far superior to that of the Gu, Yun and other families. The distribution of interests among the three families has been set up a hundred years ago. Every twenty years, the distribution of interests between the three families will be divided.
The third-generation disciples duel, and the profits will be distributed according to the results of the duel. The Liu family is powerful, and the Gu and Yun families have always joined forces to compete, so they can only maintain their position as the three major cultivation families."
Gu Chen understood this. The competition in the world of cultivation is greater than that in the mortal world. On the surface, it seems that the three major cultivation families jointly control Leshui City. In fact, there are countless battles behind the scenes, and everyone wants to dominate Leshui City.
Gu Chen didn't have enough cultivation in his previous life, so Gu Cangqiong naturally wouldn't tell him these things. Therefore, Gu Chen didn't know much about the fight between the three families.
Gu Chen said: "Then the Liu family won twenty years ago?"
Gu Cangqiong nodded and said: "Yes, twenty years ago Liu Huayuan defeated all the disciples of Gu Yun and won nearly half of the interests of Leshui City for the Liu family. Tomorrow twenty years will be up. Liu Baisheng, the third generation disciple of the Liu family, has reached the fourth level of the Xiantian realm.
, Gu and Yun families have no one to contend with. Gutai's qualifications are not as good as Liu Baisheng's, and his cultivation level is only at the second level of the Xiantian realm. Although Yunxuan's qualifications are stronger than Liu Baisheng's, he is still young, only 19 years old, and has just broken through the third level of the Xiantian realm.
In terms of cultivation, he is no match for Liu Baisheng."
"Dad, don't worry, since it won't be twenty years until next year, who can say for sure what will happen next year!" Gu Chen said.
Now that Gu Chen has reached the third level of innateness, he may not be Liu Baisheng's opponent if he uses the Tiangang Body Tempering Technique. Wait until next year, hum...
While Gu Chen was talking to his father, the second elder Gu Ren came to the mansion of the first elder Gu Ming.
In the living room, Gu Ming, Gu Ren, and Gu Cangyue were sitting in one side respectively. There was no servant in the hall.
"You all know it, right? That little bastard is back, and he's flying with a weapon. He's not dead... He's actually stepped into the innate realm..." The second elder was a little excited, and used four "Unexpectedly" words in a row.
', which shows how shocked he was.
The great elder nodded, his eyes also full of shock, "I didn't expect it! It's beyond my expectation. In just one year, this little bastard turned into a waste and developed a climate... He ate the wrong food
Have you taken the medicine? Brother, are you sure he came on the flying sword? There was no one else on the flying sword? I didn’t see it with my own eyes, so it’s hard to believe it.”
"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, many people in my family have seen it with their own eyes. They will never make up lies to deceive me. This must be the truth..." the second elder said worriedly.
"I also saw it with my own eyes." Gu Cangyue interjected: "Besides him, there is only a fox on the flying sword. There is no one else. He is flying with the weapon. He must have entered the innate realm..."
"Cang Hai has been out for so long and hasn't come back yet. Now this little bastard is back. Cang Hai hasn't come back yet... Will Cang Hai be harmed by this little bastard?" The second elder frowned and said with hatred on his face.
