Primordial Qi

"Don't get close to this place. The illusion here is enough to strangle your soul."

A warning sounded. The woman in red was fighting against those strong men with a slender red sword. Gu Chenyu could only watch the battle there quietly. The evolution of the illusion consumed a lot of spiritual power, so those enemies were extremely weak when Gu Chenyu faced his inner demons.

"Can I help you?" Gu Chenyu asked, but there was no response. He felt sad and didn't know how to deal with it.

Fang Yixian, dressed in red, fought against three people alone. There was fairy energy surging in her body. The power, which was more advanced than spiritual power, made Gu Chenyu tremble with fear.

Fang Yixian sacrificed an ancient painting. Some strong men were drawn into the painting to fight with the mythical beasts inside. Gu Chenyu was secretly amazed. Could this be a treasure?

There are immortals in the world. The ancient cultivators have really reached that realm. The stars can be annihilated with a wave of their hands, and they can move across the star field in an instant.

The True Immortals were so powerful that countless ancient cultivators died on the battlefield. Blood flowed like a river, and the corpses formed a blood-red Great Wall.

"Someone is controlling the illusion from behind. This is not a mental demon, but a killing array." Fang Yixian finally stopped the fight and turned around to see many strange and powerful men coming up to fight.

Gu Chen Yuping concentrated his mind and consciousness, covering this space completely. He blindfolded his eyes and tried not to see the illusions through them.

"Something seems to be wrong here. The spiritual energy is surging very quickly. No, he is approaching me."

Gu Chenyu sensed a person approaching him with a hint of murderous intent. He pretended to be still in the illusion, but in fact he was feeling the person's movements.

"Tsk tsk tsk, being able to reach the sixth floor shows that you are gifted. It's perfect for you to be possessed by a monk of the Imperial Realm. It's also your good fortune that you can be possessed by a monk of the Imperial Realm."

A man dressed in royal attire squatted in front of Gu Chenyu. A bug crawled out from between his eyebrows. It was a soul-nourishing bug, but this soul-nourishing bug was a little strange. It was pitch black all over, like some weird creature.

"You think nothing of this body? My old friend, although this guy has the body of the five elements, the troubled times are coming, and our golden age is coming soon. Can't the five elements mixed spiritual roots be cultivated? By then, won't we still lack resources to help you grow? Go, take over his body, return to the world, and absorb everything in the world with us."

The man bewitched the soul-raising insect. It was somewhat reluctant, but in the end it still chose to drill into Gu Chenyu's forehead.

Gu Chenyu was furious upon sensing all this. You look down on mixed spiritual roots, right? Wait until he enters my sea of consciousness. I will kill him first and then you. I will let you see what it means to refine something in an instant.

The soul-raising insect came to Gu Chenyu's sea of consciousness and saw a strange scene of the sun and the moon competing for brilliance. There was also a small island in it. On the island, there was a person sitting cross-legged, who seemed to be trapped in some situation and unable to wake up.

The soul-nourishing worm slowly approached. It did not start from the dantian, but directly took over the soul.

Gu Chenyu suddenly opened his eyes, and the soul-nourishing insect was startled, but in a moment it rushed over like a raging tide. A golden needle quietly appeared in Gu Chenyu's hand, and he raised his hand and stabbed the needle straight into the head of the soul-nourishing insect.

Black smoke gushed out from the soul-nourishing worm's body. Gu Chenyu's face was calm, with a slight smile on his lips. He lightly activated the Taixu Soul Refining Technique, and in a moment, the remnant soul was refined, leaving only useless black mist, which was expelled from the sea of consciousness.

The physical body opened its eyes and he slowly stood up. The disciple from the palace looked at him with a smile and wanted to go forward to give him a hug. Unexpectedly, at this moment a golden light flashed across Gu Chenyu's brows, and the Soul-Destroying Needle directly shattered the soul of the person whose body was possessed.

The corpse collapsed with a loud bang, and Gu Chenyu moved his spiritual consciousness. All the valuable things on the man's body were put into the storage bag. Gu Chenyu even used the remaining soul as feed to nourish the other remaining souls in the jade hairpin.

"Luckily, I have the Soul-Destroying Needle. This thing is really useful. After I get out, I have to thank Li Min'er and buy her a drink."

Gu Chenyu played with the Soul-Destroying Needle. It had lost the strength it had in ancient times. After so many years, it was only at the level of a monarch. If it could nurture a spirit in the future, it might be possible to restore it to its peak.

Gu Chenyu took back the Soul-Destroying Needle with a cold look in his eyes. He believed that there would be more and more people following him, and he didn't have the ability to fight against so many at once.

"Senior Mu Feng, do you know those people?" Gu Chenyu asked, it would be better to ask the old senior.

The soul-nourishing insect shook his head. He was already deep in thought. He didn't expect that Lao Liu would wake him up and ask irrelevant questions.

"This world has changed a lot. The Qingming world was so vast in the past. It is impossible for me to know everyone. Just do what you want." Wang Quan Mufeng fell asleep after he finished speaking, and no matter how Gu Chenyu shouted, he could not wake up.

"No buddy, are you on fire again?"

After complaining a few words, Gu Chenyu stayed on the sixth floor. He looked up at the sky. This place was a bit strange. After passing each level, he would be automatically teleported to the upper level. It seemed that he could stay here forever if he didn't take the initiative to go out.

"Just wait here and find the other soul-nourishing insects. They are all very nutritious." Gu Chenyu started looking for soul-nourishing insects as soon as he said it. He would refine one directly when he found it. There was no use keeping these harmful things. They would be very nutritious if he ate them.

"Sister, I'm almost beaten into pieces, and you're just sticking your butt out here looking for something?" Fang Yixian said unhappily. This guy didn't even come to help her. Fortunately, since it involved ancient things, the illusion collapsed on its own. If it went on for a longer time, it would be hard to say what would happen.

"Oh, I almost forgot. It's okay. I don't understand the formation either, so I can't help you. Just kill the ancient monk outside, and you will be able to get out safely, right?"

Gu Chenyu was a little confused. Wouldn't it be enough to kill the person who presided over the formation? Wouldn't it be better to wait quietly for Fang Yixian to come back to her senses? He used the Soul-Destroying Needle to pierce a row of soul-raising insects, and prepared to roast them with the Qianhai Earth Heart Flame to see if the taste would be different.

"Perhaps you should learn some formations. At least you should know and understand them. Otherwise, if you fall into a high-level formation, you will definitely be wiped out with your cultivation level."

Just when Gu Chenyu wanted to chat with Fang Yixian for a while, two figures teleported down from above.

"You actually killed him?" A shocked and angry voice was heard, and two violent attacks instantly came to Gu Chenyu's face.

"Early stage Venerable? How can there be such rubbish ancient cultivators?" Gu Chenyu asked in confusion, kicking the two men into a bloody mist, and the Soul-Destroying Needle directly destroyed the two souls.

"The people who come here are of varying quality. It would be more effective to kill them before they have completely taken over other people's bodies and cannot exert their full strength. I can feel that this world has lost its Taoist charm, and the improvement it can bring to me is not much. It is better to find a place to hide and wait for the two brothers to come to support me."

He entered this layer of soil and traveled for several miles. The closer he got to the ground, the harder the soil became. He couldn't use any magic or supernatural power to go down any deeper. Gu Chenyu didn't dare to explore casually, in case he encountered something terrifying, he would be finished.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, completely concealing the aura around him, Gu Chenyu came to the sea of consciousness and talked to Fang Yixian: "Are you proficient in formation?"

Fang Yixian looked at Gu Chenyu in shock. What did he say? What did he say? She was a little helpless. Why did this guy want to learn everything? She said, "I only know a little about formations. I am a swordsman and a painter. There are many strange formations. They are too complicated. I can't learn them."

"Painter? What's that?" Gu Chenyu heard the strange word again. Painting can also increase combat power?

"A painter is one who draws the world and all things for help. He can draw a dragon as a dragon and a tiger as a tiger. Everything in the painting can become reality. As long as you have enough imagination, everything in the painting can come into reality." Fang Yixian explained briefly. This requires a certain amount of talent. Without this talent, one can only imitate and lose the charm.

Seeing Gu Chenyu starting to have bad thoughts, Fang Yixian hurriedly said, "Don't even think about it. There is no sign of painting in your brows. You will have no hope of becoming a painter in your lifetime."

"Do you mean I'm illiterate?" Gu Chenyu looked at her resentfully. Fang Yixian was stunned. Is this the look a man should have? He looked as if I owed him something.

"Sister Fang, Fairy Fang..."

"Stop it, you're already grown up, this won't work."

Seeing that showing weakness was useless, Gu Chenyu tempted him again: "I have learned the method of refining the body. After leaving the secret realm, I will find a body for you to possess."

"No need. The Tongtian Mirror has an appointment with me. It will help me reshape my body in the future." Fang Yixian obviously didn't buy it, which made Gu Chenyu helpless.

"Sister, I want to improve so badly, please teach me."
