After the incident at the Evil King Mountain, a restricted area for living beings, came to an end, the entire Dongxuan Territory became peaceful again.
Although hundreds of millions of lives were killed and injured this time, resulting in a scene of rivers of blood, in any case, the blood disaster was finally over.
Every living creature that survived felt extremely lucky in their hearts.
At this time, after Gu Chen and others returned to Qingyun Academy safely, the powerful man who escorted them to Cang Lei Ancient Ruins revealed an explosive news, which surprised even the giants of the academy.
Not only that, when Gu Chen's behavior in Cang Lei Ancient Ruins was spread, the entire Qingyun Academy was shocked.
Originally, there were many people who supported Yan Qi Ao Guang and other evildoers. Their first reaction was that they did not believe it and thought it was a rumor.
However, from the beginning to the end, Yan Qi and others came out to refute the rumors, so these people naturally felt guilty.
Especially, when Gu Chen defeated Bai Yu, the strongest monster of the Tianyu clan who was invincible in the eight realms, the shock of Qingyun Academy reached its highest level.
"He risked his own life and was willing to save others. This little guy named Gu Bai has a really good character and is worth cultivating." The giant of the academy said this after learning the details.
Obviously, he was somewhat satisfied with Gu Chen, whether it was his natural strength or his final choice to face the evil spirits alone to rescue Yan Qi and others.
"The dean is the most resentful towards evil spirits. In the past, all the geniuses and monsters recruited by the academy were a little afraid of evil spirits. Only this Gu Bai is very special. Faced with such a situation, he dared to take the initiative and did not choose to protect himself wisely. This
This kind of character is indeed rare." Another giant also spoke up and expressed his approval to Gu Chen.
Of course, because the battle between Gu Chen and Bai Yu did not go to the end, many people still had doubts about the final outcome.
"But despite this, this guy named Gu Bai is really extraordinary. He has the potential to reach the top of the Great Dao Gold List. We can pay close attention to it." Cui Da Neng said, and he had the idea to make Gu Chen the successor of Qingyun Academy.
.
"Although that little guy from the Tianyu tribe, Bai Yu, is extraordinary, he is still far behind compared to the real geniuses and evildoers. We may like him, but the dean may not." The giants in the academy shook their heads. They knew very well.
The dean of Qingyun Academy has such high vision.
Over the years, Qingyun Academy has opened its doors many times, but it has never found a suitable candidate. That's it.
Because choosing a successor for Qingyun Academy, or Qingyuntian, is not only a test of talent and strength, but also of character.
Therefore, the dean of Qingyun Academy chose Chu Yueling, the saint of Taixu Taoism, but unfortunately she rejected her.
"His temperament of having the courage to face the devil is quite to the dean's liking. Let's keep an eye on the rest." In the end, the academy's senior management made a decision.
The dean of Qingyun Academy prefers to be short-lived, and even if there is no suitable candidate in the end, he will never leave the matter hastily.
After all, this matter is of great concern. Finding a successor for Qingyuntian is also related to their future, so there is no room for carelessness.
On the other side, Gu Chen naturally didn't know these things. After returning to the academy, he chose to retreat and absorb the nine rays of black and yellow mother energy from the Cang Lei ancient ruins.
A wisp of black and yellow mother energy can easily collapse a high mountain just by its weight. From this point of view, one can see just how extraordinary this strange thing is.
A ray of black and yellow mother energy can create the birth of a body-refining master, which can greatly increase the physical strength of living beings.
And nine rays is the limit that a living being can absorb. Even if it absorbs more after that, it will be of no use at all.
Gu Chen spent a month absorbing all the nine strands of black and yellow mother energy. Not surprisingly, the strength of his physical body has indeed increased dramatically. However, there is still a long way to go before the physical body can be reshaped for the second time.
"It seems that not only is the physical body reshaped, but it is also extremely difficult to open the second physical body." Gu Chen opened his eyes and sighed softly.
Even, vaguely, Gu Chen could feel that it was more difficult to open the physical body again than to reshape the body for the second time.
After all, every time the divine treasure of the physical body is opened, extremely amazing divine energy buried in the deepest part of the body will be released. At that time, the body will also undergo earth-shaking changes, which can also be said to be the ultimate sublimation. Naturally, it will not be so easy to succeed.
.
This was also within Gu Chen's expectation.
"But no matter what, my two magical powers have reached the sixth level, my physical body's strength has skyrocketed, and I have taken a solid step towards the second physical body reshaping, which has made my physical strength increase a lot again." Gu Chen whispered.
With his current strength, regardless of whether he has revealed his magical powers or not, the general Huanxu Realm has no deterrent effect on him.
If once he uses his magical power, even if he faces those extremely powerful and extremely talented monsters in the Void Realm, Gu Chen is confident that he can still suppress them.
As for the Unity Realm, with his own hard power, Gu Chen is still not completely sure that he can kill him.
But it's not difficult at present.
On this day, Gu Chen came out of seclusion and received news from his assistant Yu Xi, stating that because of his outstanding performance at Cang Lei Ancient Ruins, the senior management of the college made a decision and gave him a lot of merit in order to reward him.
"You can go to Lingbao Pavilion!" After hearing the news, Gu Chen suddenly became energetic.
After all, the purpose of coming to Qingyun Academy in the first place was to find the second piece of residual jade.
On the first day he came to the academy, he secretly sensed the first piece of jade and discovered that the second piece of jade he was looking for was in the Lingbao Pavilion, the most important place in the academy.
However, since he didn't have meritorious deeds, he couldn't break through forcefully, so he had been patient and not gone to explore for this period of time.
Now that the opportunity has come and he has achieved meritorious deeds, Gu Chen will naturally not give up.
"Assistant teacher, I want to go to the Lingbao Pavilion in the academy to take a look." Gu Chen said immediately.
"Can."
Yu Xi nodded, Qingyun Academy has a long heritage, and its origin comes from Qingyun Heaven in the last era. It contains various treasures and opportunities. If not for this, monsters from the ten realms would not gather here every time the academy is opened.
Lingbao Pavilion is a place that is remembered by all monsters. Gu Chen would make such a request, which was expected by Yu Xi and even the senior officials of the academy.
Soon, under the leadership of assistant Yu Xi, Gu Chen arrived in front of Lingbao Pavilion.
This is a huge attic, with its whole body gleaming with ancient charm, with upturned eaves and regular patterns. It is about ten feet high and has a feeling of being accumulated through endless years.
In fact, this is exactly the case. This is a rare treasure from Qingyuntian. It is said that it contains all kinds of miraculous things that are unknown to outsiders.
"This is the token to pass through Lingbao Pavilion." Assistant Yu Xi handed a token to Gu Chen and told him that without this so-called pass, if he wanted to force his way into Lingbao Pavilion, he would be blocked by the formation here.
It was reduced to ashes in a moment, even when the great power came.
"It's so terrifying?!" Gu Chen was shocked, and at the same time he was secretly glad that he hadn't done anything outrageous secretly before.
Immediately, holding this token, Gu Chen walked into it alone.
Buzz!
In an instant, the light and shadow changed, the vision twisted, and Gu Chen came to a place with extremely open space.
"Lingbao Pavilion, the interior is indeed a space of its own." Gu Chen opened his eyes and looked around.
The location he was in was an empty hall, simple and simple, with a gray-white ground. There were countless rooms around it, and each room had a corresponding plaque with words engraved on it.
A large number of elixirs, weapons, and various rare objects have been divided into categories and divided according to corresponding levels.
"According to the teaching assistant Yu Xi, I can choose from elixirs that are less than ten thousand years old, as well as various rare items, and even acquired ultimate spiritual treasures." Gu Chen looked at the rooms around him.
.
Without the corresponding token, even if one breaks into Lingbao Pavilion by force, these rooms cannot be opened at all.
Of course, even if someone like Gu Chen has a token and the formation here, many rooms cannot be opened because of insufficient authority.
"The second piece of residual jade is indeed right here!" Gu Chen closed his eyes for a moment, using the sense of the residual jade held by the little Yuanshen, and he made a discovery as expected.
He turned his eyes and stared at the deepest part of Lingbao Pavilion. Not surprisingly, the second piece of residual jade was inside!
However, the deeper you look, you will find that there are wisps of gray mist emerging, blocking Gu Chen's sight.
He did not use the Heavenly Eyes, because he knew that with the level of Lingbao Pavilion and the formation here, even if he used the sixth-grade Heavenly Eyes, it would still be difficult to see through, and it might even alarm others.
"The fact that it can be placed in the deepest place shows the importance of this treasure." Gu Chen frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit tricky.
According to teaching assistant Yu Xi, the treasures in the deepest part of Lingbao Pavilion are very extraordinary and very expensive. Some treasures cannot even be measured by value, such as sacred artifacts!
Gu Chen had some luck at first. If Qingyun Academy didn't discover the specialness of the second piece of jade, he might be able to exchange it from Lingbao Pavilion.
But now it seems that it is no longer possible.
Qingyun Academy may not know the specific function of this second piece of residual jade, but it definitely thinks it is very precious, so it is stored in the deepest part of Lingbao Pavilion.
"This is going to be a bit troublesome." Gu Chen frowned, knowing that he might not be able to get the second piece of jade easily.
"However, if you have enough merit, it is not impossible." Gu Chen thought to himself.
For the current plan, if he wants to obtain the residual jade, it seems that he can only find a way to become famous in Qingyun Academy, and then strive to obtain more meritorious deeds.
Therefore, this time Gu Chen did not choose to exchange for anything. After confirming that the second piece of residual jade was here, he left Lingbao Pavilion and left this place.
He has nine thousand years of elixirs that are less than 10,000 years old. Although he has consumed a lot of them in order to reach the limit of the Cave Heaven Realm, or even break through the limits and become a god, there is still some left.
Moreover, there is a lot of Tianyuan liquid. Although after taking it regularly, it can no longer help him improve his skills, but it still has a considerable effect in healing injuries and warming up the soul.
Of course, more importantly, Gu Chen wanted to redeem the second piece of residual jade in the future, so he did not spend these meritorious deeds.
"The acquired ultimate spiritual treasure is also very powerful. It is usually held in the hands of those powerful people in the heavenly realm, where it can exert its maximum power. If there is a chance in the future, if the mysterious fist absorbs it, it will definitely make it move forward a lot.
"Gu Mo thought silently.
In the following period, Gu Chen's life entered a peaceful period, and everyone in Qingyun Academy entered into hard training.
…
Cangyu, the capital of Tianming Dynasty.
A period of time has passed, even though the Cang Territory is separated from the Dongxuan Territory by more than ten realms, a series of events that occurred due to the abnormal movement of the Evil King Mountain, a restricted area for living beings, still caused great ripples in the Cang Territory.
Many holy places, including the Tianming Dynasty and the four major foreign races, were shocked by this after receiving the news before.
Fortunately, there is no restricted area for living beings in Cangyu, which makes everyone feel at ease a lot.
After all, in terms of overall strength, Cangyu is far inferior to Dongxuanyu.
This time, after many months of hard training, Gu Yan, the crown prince of the Tianming Dynasty, has made great progress in his cultivation.
Of course, most of this is not because of his talent, but because of the evil spirit in his body.
Because of this, Gu Yan's temperament became increasingly gloomy, and black energy surged from time to time in his eyes.
Of course, when facing outsiders, he would still pretend to be safe and sound, making it difficult for people to see through.
On this day, in the East Palace, Gu Yan, who was wearing a black robe, was quietly meditating with his eyes closed, when one of his confidants suddenly ran in.
"Your Highness, you asked me to investigate the matter about Gu Jiuge, and now we have some clues!" The man said respectfully, clasping his fists.
"Um?"
As soon as the three words Gu Jiuge came out, the temperature in this place suddenly began to drop rapidly, and wisps of black air appeared out of thin air, carrying a cold and strange air.
For a moment, this place felt like falling into the netherworld.
During this period, Gu Yan had not forgotten the humiliation Gu Chen had brought to him at all, and he was very determined to kill him once he found any trace of Gu Chen.
"Say!" Gu Yan said coldly, his tone extremely serious.
Hearing this, the confidant immediately said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, after many investigations and using the power of the Holy Sect, we finally found something. Now, that Gu Jiuge is in Dongxuan Territory. He
Under the pseudonym Gu Bai, I have joined Qingyun Academy!"
As soon as he said this, Gu Yanhuo raised his head with fierce eyes. Behind him was a huge demonic figure. The atmosphere here suddenly dropped to a freezing point, and murderous intent spread all over the sky.
