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

Gu Xiu has the Seven Star Pendant in his hand, which allows him to see through the origins of all formations and their weaknesses, but this does not mean that all formations will automatically retreat when they encounter Gu Xiu.

Seeing through the weaknesses of the formation is one thing.

But whether one has the strength to break the formation is another matter.

The reason is very simple.

An elephant is surrounded by a fence. If it can find a weak point in the fence, it can naturally break the fence with one foot.

But what if the one trapped is just a powerless ant?

The divine platform stalagmite formation in front of him was just like that. Not only was the formation extremely powerful, but more importantly, the weakness that Gu Xiu saw was at the casting platform. If he couldn't find the divine platform stalagmite before that, there was naturally no way to break the formation.

The person who set up the formation was using an open strategy.

However, Gu Xiu did not care about these. At this moment, he just silently moved forward step by step towards the stalagmite formation on the altar. He could not break the formation, but he could also see where the way to survive was.

He's very fast.

In the blink of an eye, he had taken ten steps.

"That's pretty fast?" Someone in the back noticed and couldn't help but say in surprise. However, just as he opened his mouth, his companion beside him shook his head:

"That's not fast at all. It's only ten steps. He's been sitting here all day, watching us walk over fifty steps. Now he's walking the same distance we walked before."

"Exactly. You'll know if he can keep going after fifty steps."

"There are still fifty steps left. You haven't forgotten that the most terrifying thing about this stalagmite formation is not the changes in the stone platforms, but the supreme torture. I don't think this person can even make it thirty steps."

"It's terrifying just to talk about it. It's like being thrown into a furnace and burned alive. It's simply too terrifying."

Everyone spoke with lingering fear.

The terrifying thing about this divine platform stalagmite formation is not only that one will be doomed if one makes a mistake, but the most terrifying thing is that there is endless torture in the formation, as if one is thrown into an incinerator or a frying pan.

This is real torture on earth!

But this kind of human torture cannot be avoided or stopped, and can only be endured. They stopped at fifty steps because of the torture at the fiftieth step.

No one can stand it anymore!

"Right now, we should think about what to do next. We can clearly see the Xuanyin Soul Protection Pill, but we have no way to obtain it, let alone take it out." Yu Xueqing pursed her lips and said:

"If we delay any further..."

"I'm afraid Master...can't wait that long."

These words made everyone's face darken.

The Bi Bo Sect invited powerful people from all walks of life to lead their disciples to come and rescue the Sect Master for the Xuan Yin Soul Protecting Pill. However, even though so many people came, no one succeeded in the end.

The sect leader's injuries are very serious. The longer we delay, the worse the situation will become.

even……

Powerless.

But the more anxious we are, the slower the progress becomes, and a feeling of powerlessness envelops everyone.

"Hey, that guy is so fast!" At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked up.

However, Gu Xiu, who had just stepped into the stalagmite formation of the divine platform, had already reached a position of about thirty steps, and his speed had not slowed down at all!

"This...how is this possible?"

"Isn't he affected? Even if we can hold on to the thirtyth step, it definitely won't be this easy!"

"Thirty-five steps!"

"It's already forty steps. How did he do it so easily?"

"Forty-five steps, are you kidding me?"

Waves of exclamations were heard, and the attention of everyone present was attracted by the figure moving quickly among the countless stalagmites.

No way.

That person walks so steadily!

That’s right, it’s stable.

To be honest, his speed was not very fast, but each step he took was neither hurried nor slow, as steady as a rock. The first step was the same as the forty-plus steps he took now.

Nothing has changed from beginning to end!

It's just like.

Not affected at all!

"No, it's not that he is unaffected. Look at him, he is also being burned by the flames!" At this moment, someone exclaimed.

When everyone looked carefully, they saw that Gu Xiu's skin was showing a strange red color, and there were also a lot of burn scars.

Not long after it appears, it quickly disappears, but then reappears again, repeating this cycle endlessly.

This is what they all have experienced before.

Human torture!

only……

"After forty steps, we need to slow down for a long time before we can sustain each step. How does this person keep his composure?"

"Can't he feel the pain?"

"This...this is too scary. Could it be that he can still be like this after walking fifty steps?"

Everyone gasped and stared at Gu Xiu with wide eyes.

Gu Xiu did not disappoint them.

After a moment, he successfully broke through fifty steps, which was the limit of everyone before. They could only walk fifty steps at most. The pain was so intense that even people's consciousness became blurred and they could not bear it.

Can……

Gu Xiu still didn't stop, more importantly, he was even able to maintain his rationality, find the correct route, and continue moving forward!

This scene made Yu Xueqing and others exclaim in horror.

It was Gu Xiu himself.

At this moment, his face was still as calm as water. He continued to move forward steadily while calculating the location of the next safe stalagmite.

Does it hurt?

It's all right!

He was not a monster who could not feel pain. With every step he took, the pain, as if he was being burned in a wok of oil, would immediately increase again, making him miserable.

only……

Such pain for Gu Xiu.

Fortunately.

He had bound himself in a forbidden area for five hundred years, and endured the torture of soul injuries for more than three years. He even crushed his own soul some time ago.

Every thing.

They are definitely far away from this furnace-like torture at this moment.

As for these present sufferings.

But little.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Xiu moved forward eighty steps. The formation seemed to know that this kind of pain was not enough, and a large number of forging hammer shadows suddenly appeared on the stalagmite platform.

Then, he punched Gu Xiu wildly.

Each hammer was loaded with supreme divine power, intended to smash Gu Xiu's body and break his bones. Even Yu Xueqing and the others who were far away felt their scalps tingle when they saw it.

This is a test of thousands of times!

This means that every inch of bones and every piece of flesh of the person climbing the stalagmite will be smashed, reshaped, and then smashed again. This kind of pain is difficult to compare even to slow slicing and scraping bones.

Even Gu Xiu, who had always been as steady as a rock, could no longer keep his steps steady and began to stagger.

But he still didn't get scared!

in contrast.

Feeling the thousands of hammer shadows on his body, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Gu Xiu's eyes.

Such pain is truly unbearable.

But in this endless pain and torture, Gu Xiu saw an opportunity that was not really an opportunity.

Gritting his teeth, Gu Xiu moved forward again.

This time, it took him a long time to reach the ninety-eighth stalagmite, which was only one step away from the forging platform.

Gu Xiu suddenly stopped.

The torture here was the most terrifying. In just a moment, a large number of cracks began to appear on Gu Xiu's body.

The whole person looked like a porcelain doll that could completely shatter at any time, and blood was gushing out crazily, soaking his clothes.

Fortunately, the stalagmite array on the altar clearly carries the power of inheritance, which can strengthen Gu Xiu's physique at the same time.

But he was still being treated.

But if this goes on and on, the person who suffers will suffer a hundred or a thousand times more!

But this time, Gu Xiu did not move forward.

in contrast.

Instead, he sat cross-legged, silently took out a bunch of pills, and poured them into his mouth frantically.

"Is he... unable to hold on any longer?"

"Could it be that he was just one step away but failed?"

"Oh no! If he fails, who else can get through with the altar stalagmite?"

Gu Xiu's sudden action immediately made everyone on the cliff behind him feel anxious, especially the disciples of the Bi Bo Sect, whose faces were full of worry.

They didn't know the man's name.

But know it.

This person has the best chance of obtaining the Xuanyin Soul Protecting Pill!

If even he fails, then this Xuanyin Soul Protecting Pill will probably have nothing to do with the Bibo Sect anymore, let alone saving the Sect Master.

"wrong!"

"This person is not unable to hold on, but is using the divine platform stalagmite formation to temper his body!"

"Use the force of thousands of hammers to shatter the body, and then use the power of the formation to repair it and reshape it. Repeat this process, and the strength of the body will be further enhanced!"

Yu Xueqing in the crowd suddenly exclaimed. She was the sect leader's personal disciple and was knowledgeable and experienced. She could see the clues at this moment.

Body training?

Her words made everyone else look surprised.

In ancient times.

It is rumored that there was once a peerless physical cultivator.

One force can break all laws, one punch can split the sky.

Now, countless years have passed, and the art of physical cultivation has long been extinct. The few remaining methods of physical cultivation, although they can no longer restore the horror of the ancient rumors, do exist.

"Could this person be a body cultivator?"

"The method of physical cultivation is so cruel. No wonder there are so few physical cultivators emerging these days. How many people in the world can endure such a method of cultivation?"

"This is too scary. What kind of perseverance does it take to persevere?"

Everyone exclaimed, thinking that this method was too cruel.

"This person probably doesn't know how to refine his body." Yu Xueqing shook her head, staring in horror at the back of Gu Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the stalagmite of the altar.

"I've read ancient texts. While ancient body-refining methods are indeed cruel, most of them have special methods to alleviate the pain. No one would use such a painful body-tempering method in such a desperate place!"

"Is this effective?" someone asked curiously.

"Yes!" Yu Xueqing nodded:

"The method this person uses may not be the most effective, but it is definitely the simplest and most direct method!"

"There's only one problem."

"What?" everyone was curious.

But Yu Xueqing looked at Gu Xiu's back:

"Although this method is simple and direct, it will also be very painful. The first stage of tempering the body is the most critical. If he can't hold on for too long, the effect will be greatly reduced."

"And if you want to gain something, only this person can persist."

"I just don't know how long this person can hold on..."

Gu Xiu was unaware of the discussion behind him at the moment. Even if he knew, he would not care too much about it.

Everything we cultivators do is to become stronger.

As for the tortures and hardships encountered on the way to becoming stronger, they are nothing but frost and snow.

There was only one thing he needed to do.

When spring comes and flowers bloom...

Wipe the snow and step on the immortals!

While the people who abandoned Qingxuan Sect were willing to endure hardships just for a chance to become stronger, on the other side, in the Tianqi Mountains, that Qingxuan genius junior master.

now.

But not so optimistic...
