I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

To be honest, even now, Gu Xiu still doesn't quite understand what kind of book this wordless ancient book is.

Because of this wordless ancient book, different contents written on it will bring different opportunities and different results.

In a glance that seems to span a thousand years, Gu Xiu wrote "No Regrets," meaning that he does not regret everything he did before. Even though everything has changed, he is still the same Gu Xiu. Even if he is destined to suffer a miserable fate, he is willing to die to seek relief.

Ultimately, the wordless ancient book transformed into a cultivation technique that aligned with his path of protection.

Gu Xiu thought it was a top-grade cultivation technique, but every time he recalled it, he would guess that it was not just a top-grade cultivation technique, because the power it displayed far exceeded his understanding.

That technique allowed Gu Xiu to unleash almost invincible power as long as he was in Qingxuan, based on the principle of protection.

That cultivation technique was very powerful. Although Gu Xiu didn't remember its contents, its power was undeniable.

Gu Xiu, who had only seen one glance before a thousand years later, did not write "no regrets" but instead wrote "no shame".

Have a clear conscience!

He accepted his past efforts and realized that his enthusiasm had been wasted. This meant that in his heart, he and Qingxuan were completely cut off and had no further connection. He no longer had any lingering feelings or hatred for Qingxuan and regarded him as a pebble on his road that he would simply step over.

This method of writing resulted in a wordless ancient book, which was transformed into a brand-new skill book that could quickly learn all the martial arts techniques and secret manuals, and even improve upon them to a higher level.

But this time.

Once again, he coldly observed all the changes, and once again saw a version of himself that seemed exactly the same as himself. This version of himself chose to write down endless hatred, a hatred that would never end!

It was filled with hatred and resentment.

As expected, the wordless ancient book transformed once again, becoming a completely new cultivation technique, unlike the previous two, and...

"A demonic art?" Gu Xiu couldn't help but guess after observing for a while.

Although he couldn't discern the contents of the technique, he could vaguely guess its unusual nature through his own cultivation process. Each time he practiced, the ruthless and violent aura emanating from him would reach a new level.

The most important thing is.

This "self's" cultivation method is completely different from the previous two. This cultivation method seems to have some kind of devouring power. At least, this "self's" cultivation process is actually devouring. From spiritual medicines and herbs to spiritual stones and beasts, all power is being devoured by him.

As the process of absorption progressed, Gu Xiu was surprised to find that the Dao Platform, which had been damaged, was gradually being repaired and even becoming stronger. The soul injury that had been tormenting him was also gradually disappearing and instead becoming a force to strengthen "his" soul.

His cultivation level began to rise rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul...

In just half a month, his cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul realm. Furthermore, the rare and precious materials and opportunities needed for normal cultivation were no longer a limitation. As long as he had enough to continuously absorb, his cultivation would grow without any bottlenecks.

And in this process.

That "self" did not reveal the news of resuming cultivation; instead, it went to great lengths to conceal its resuming cultivation.

and.

He began to change, becoming adept at flattery, actively engaging with people, and diligently cultivating his network within the sect. Moreover, when facing his senior sisters and Master Guan Xuelan, he concealed all his sharpness, becoming like a docile and loyal dog.

This series of changes made Gu Xiu frown, because he could clearly sense that the hatred of this dormant "self" was growing rapidly every day.

However, these things don't seem to matter.

Because this "self" quickly encountered a bottleneck. Whether it was due to the cultivation technique or other limitations, after his cultivation entered the Nascent Soul stage, his rapid improvement began to slow down. No matter how many spirit stones and spirit beasts he devoured, the effect was negligible.

He began.

They set their sights on other cultivators.

In fact, his position in Qingxuan was extremely awkward. He had no strong strength, no connections to protect him, and was even a burden to the sect. However, he had a seniority that surpassed most people, so even those whom Gu Xiu usually interacted with the most were just some peripheral disciples.

When Gu Xiu first saw "himself" interacting with these people, he thought that "himself" might be trying to win people's hearts and wait for an opportunity to take control of Qingxuan.

But he soon discovered the truth.

This "self" actually treats these people as food for the beast.

Driven by intense hatred, many of his actions crossed Gu Xiu's bottom line. With hatred in the face, the bottom line no longer existed. After discovering that neither spirit stones nor spirit beasts could help him, he almost without hesitation began his first killing spree.

That disciple had always followed Gu Xiu around, and under Gu Xiu's guidance, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. Therefore, he had no suspicion of Gu Xiu's private invitation.

Even until "Gu Xiu" suddenly made a move, killed it, swallowed it whole, and turned it into his own source of power.

The disciple finally realized what was happening.

He pleaded desperately, cursed loudly, and tried to awaken Gu Xiu's humanity.

Just a pity.

Gu Xiu had no reservations whatsoever. He simply listened to the other party's wails while absorbing all of the other party's power without hesitation.

Afterwards, he was able to calmly fabricate evidence that the other party had died from a monster.

Another month passed.

Gu Xiu's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds once again.

After sacrificing almost all of his peripheral disciples who were willing to follow him, Gu Xiu's cultivation reached the half-step Void Refinement Realm.

But he also encountered another bottleneck.

It is not a tribulation of lighting lamps, nor is it a breakthrough in the realm of refining emptiness.

But...

The energy his food could provide was beginning to diminish.

Upon realizing this, "Gu Xiu" immediately shifted his focus from the peripheral disciples to the core disciples of the Qingxuan Holy Land. Moreover, his target wasn't the ordinary disciples, but Nian Chaoxi, who had just finished her seclusion and descended from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!

In fact, during Qingxuan's time, although Nian Chaoxi kept advising him to be cowardly and to be tolerant, she was absolutely worthy of the title "quite caring".

Aside from cultivation, divination for the sect, and going out to fight enemies.

Whenever Nian Chaoxi had some free time, she would come to Gu Xiu, bring him some supplies, inquire about his current situation, and help him solve some trivial troubles.

The only difference is...

Gu Xiu, who had been in a state of mind for a lifetime, rarely accepted these things. It wasn't because he harbored hatred, but because he knew that every time Nian Chaoxi came to him, she would be scolded and reprimanded by Guan Xuelan. In order to avoid Nian Chaoxi being implicated by him, Gu Xiu, who had been in a state of mind for a lifetime, had actually been avoiding her.

But this time, Gu Xiu, who was filled with hatred for Qingxuan and even wrote the words "no end" on his pen, did not reject it. Instead, he kept playing the victim and acting pitiful in front of Nian Chaoxi, trying to maximize Nian Chaoxi's value.

In fact, his smooth progress in cultivation was largely due to his daily practice.

This time, however, we face yet another bottleneck.

Gu Xiu also set his sights on this supreme disciple.

He spent a lot of effort meticulously planning a scheme.

And it lured Nian Chaoxi into the game.

Finally, using thirty-six secretly crafted magic nails, he sealed Nian Chaoxi's major acupoints, all under Nian Chaoxi's horrified yet complex gaze.

Devour it alive!

As he devoured it, he spoke:

"Senior Sister, you feel guilty towards me. Although it's already too late, I'm still willing to show my compassion and give you the best ending."

"To make you a part of me."

"become……"

"My power of revenge!"
