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

In the temple at the fork in the road below the Burial Valley of Immortals, Gu Xiu, who had been sitting cross-legged and motionless, suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

With a special aura.

You can vaguely see it.

The third soul lamp has now been lit!

His tribulation of lighting the lamp was finally completed after the distracting thoughts that had almost turned into a demon in his heart were eliminated.

"If I hadn't experienced the tribulation of lighting the lamp, I wouldn't even know that I still had an obsession with Qing Xuan in my heart. Fortunately, these distracting thoughts grew stronger and I was able to detect them. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when I really reached the Void Refining Stage, these distracting thoughts would become my biggest enemy."

Gu Xiu examined his own soul and sea of ​​consciousness and couldn't help muttering to himself:

"Come to think of it, I've also achieved divine enlightenment before, and also experienced the tribulation of lighting the lamp. Surprisingly, I never realized that the tribulation of lighting the lamp wasn't a tribulation at all, but rather an opportunity to face myself and cut off distracting thoughts."

"If that's the case."

"perhaps……"

Gu Xiu looked at the four unlit soul lamps behind him: "I may not need to go through so much trouble with the remaining soul lamp tribulations."

The most important thing for Gu Xiu when lighting the mourning lamp this time is not just to cut off his ties with Qingxuan.

more important.

Gu Xiu also had new ideas about his future cultivation.

The calamity of the seven emotions.

They are all distracting thoughts generated by one's own seven emotions and desires, but they all have different strengths. These distracting thoughts will have the opportunity to grow stronger when the corresponding soul lamps are lit. Some distracting thoughts will become more stubborn and even give birth to inner demons.

This naturally means that every lighting of the lamp will be a test, but at the same time, it is also an opportunity to eliminate the hidden distractions and demons in one's heart.

You have to know that the further you advance in your spiritual practice, the more you need than just sufficient resources.

The importance of Tao heart will become more obvious.

The evil thoughts, distracting thoughts and even inner demons hidden in the hearts of cultivators are not too serious when their cultivation is low, but when their cultivation is high enough, the inner demons are completely born, which will have an uncontrollable impact on the cultivators and be dangerous and unpredictable.

Unfortunately, these evil thoughts and distracting ideas hidden in the cultivators are often very well hidden. At least for the cultivators themselves, it is difficult to detect the existence of their own inner demons. This is somewhat similar to the feeling of "not knowing the true face of Mount Lu because one is already in the mountain". Naturally, these evil thoughts will slowly and completely transform into inner demons, and even grow to be stronger than the cultivators themselves and difficult to suppress.

But if you can detect it in advance, force it out in advance, and kill it in advance, your future practice will be smoother.

This is also the reason why the stronger the divine fire used to light the lamp, the better.

Because the stronger the divine fire is, the more it can bring out those hidden and imperceptible evil thoughts.

At the same time, after the lamps are lit, these powerful divine fires will not disappear. Instead, they will turn into the purest soul fire power, continuously and silently strengthening the cultivator's soul. Just like Gu Xiu now, after lighting three soul lamps, the feeling of his powerful soul power is not too obvious in a short period of time, but those three top-level soul lamps are constantly, little by little, strengthening Gu Xiu's soul!

Of course, these are not what Gu Xiu is really concerned about.

His real focus is on.

Since the calamity of lighting the lamp can induce one's distracting thoughts and even grow them into inner demons, allowing one to fight against them, what if one can find the distracting thoughts in one's heart in advance?

So can we skip the calamity of lighting the lamp?

Or……

Even if I can't skip it, can I light up the lights easier and faster?

At least we don’t have to light a lantern, which takes half a month?

This is actually a very big disadvantage, because after experiencing the catastrophe of lighting the lamp, Gu Xiu has basically completely lost control of his physical body.

The three previous lightings.

The first time, Gu Xiu did it out of helplessness. Fortunately, at that time the leader of the Holy Feather Clan could only rely on the power of his soul, and he was able to deal with it with the help of the Purple Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness. Later, Broken Star and the little black monkey helped to protect him, so he did not encounter any danger.

The second time, Gu Xiu was in Mo Han Tower, with the help of the old drunkard, but the White Jade Master also secretly did some tricks that he still didn't understand.

And just now, for the third time, Gu Xiu relied on another ball of Suzaku Divine Fire to polish his body. That divine fire helped Gu Xiu temper his body, and also indirectly helped Gu Xiu resist all possible attacks from the outside world.

Gu Xiu successfully survived these three times. Even though there were some shocks, he was mostly safe.

But in fact, he still took a huge risk.

Most of the disciples of the Holy Land Divine Dynasty who were in the Spirit Transformation Stage would seek help from their senior teachers to protect them when they were about to light the lamp tribulation. However, as a wandering cultivator, Gu Xiu could not find any senior masters to protect him when he was in a hurry to overcome the tribulation.

and so.

If the duration of this lighting disaster could be shortened, it would be relatively safer for Gu Xiu.

However, there is no rush for this matter for the time being. At least Gu Xiu has a more important thing to do right now.

Flesh!

The resurrected divine bird Suzaku gave Gu Xiu two of his innate divine fires and then disappeared without a trace. One of the two divine fires was used to ignite the soul lamp, and the other became the power for Gu Xiu to temper his body.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu's body has entered the realm of divine essence. Even though the Suzaku's innate divine fire is extremely strong, it is only a wisp after all. Although it continues to harm his body, thanks to the strength of his body in the realm of divine essence, while being burned by the divine fire, his body is also healing itself quickly and independently, and it does not affect Gu Xiu's ability to transcend the calamity of lighting the lamp, and it even becomes a force that can protect his body.

But this is only the absorption under the autonomous operation of the body. If you really want to use it to temper your own body, you still need Gu Xiu to guide it.

and so.

At this moment, Gu Xiu’s training has not yet been completely completed.

He still needs to continue to strengthen his body.

He glanced at the Vermillion Bird statue in front of him, but saw that the divine light on the statue had already dimmed to the extreme. Even the abundant spiritual energy in the room seemed to have begun to fade away rapidly. Gu Xiu even noticed that the chain connecting the statue and the ladder outside the door had also cracked.

this means.

It won't be long before this temple completely collapses, and then I will be able to push the door open and leave smoothly.

That being the case...

"The next task is to completely absorb this gift from the Vermillion Bird before this temple is broken open!" Gu Xiu muttered to himself, and then without hesitation, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and began to practice!

……

"Come on, come on!"

"This damn place is about to collapse completely. All we need to do next is find a good place to store the original power of the Suzaku Secret Realm. Then we can leave. Once this damn place is broken, we can retrieve the original power."

"By then, I will definitely be able to improve my cultivation even more!"

While Gu Xiu continued to practice hard, in the Suzaku Secret Realm, Guan Xuelan was controlling the puppets to continuously snatch the original power of this world.

His face couldn't help but show ecstasy.

The ball that was the size of a fist before has now become the size of a head in her hand. She has basically used the strongest force she can use to compress it. At this moment, just by holding the ball in her hand, she can feel the violent and powerful power on it.

Imagine.

If she could absorb all the power here, even she, a supreme being, would definitely benefit greatly. She might even be able to regain the strength she had before the Supreme Source was lost.

How could she not be excited?

As a large amount of the secret realm's original power was snatched away by Guan Xuelan, the Suzaku Secret Realm finally came to its final moment. The flames that could take lives before had disappeared, and in their place were crisscrossing space cracks that were even more terrifying than the flames.

"Boo~!"

Accompanied by a strange sound, the last trace of warmth in the lava zone below, which had already dried up to the extreme, dissipated, and the last character began to float out crookedly.

At this moment, the entire Suzaku Secret Realm finally shattered like glass and split into countless pieces.

but.

The people inside at this moment were not in a hurry to escape. Instead, everyone's eyes were fixed on this last character. This was the final source of power and also the purest source core.

Among them, Yun Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing without paying any attention to the outside world, reacted.

It was as if an invisible giant hand stretched out from his body, grabbed the character in the first moment, and then suddenly pulled it towards him.

but……

Just as the characters were about to reach him.

"Roar~!"

A roar that seemed to be far away was heard, and then, as the Suzaku Secret Realm collapsed, a sealed door that looked like an abyss was revealed. Suddenly, a huge hand as black as ink appeared and grabbed the last character in front of Yun Zheng.

The moment the two forces collided, Yun Zheng, who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Everyone could only watch as the characters appeared bit by bit.

Stay away from Yun Zheng.

And just then...

A black shadow suddenly flashed.

next moment.

The last character that the two giant hands were still fighting for has now changed hands.

It’s Guan Xuelan!

She seized the opportunity and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to successfully obtain the last character here. The moment she got it in her hand, she put it into the ball.

Followed by.

Guan Xuelan turned around and left without hesitation, retreating madly into the distance.

Now she just wanted to find a way to put the ball in a safe place and take it away later. As for Yun Zheng, Xiao Ping'an and the others, Guan Xuelan didn't care. In fact, if she wasn't taking over Gu Xiu's identity and her strength was temporarily limited, she would even want to kill Xiao Ping'an and Yun Zheng.

"Roar~!"

At the moment Guan Xuelan was running away, the giant hand, which was completely black and looked like a demon, suddenly became furious on the spot, but it did not attack Guan Xuelan. Instead, it slapped Yun Zheng on the head, as if it wanted to kill him while Yun Zheng was unable to resist.

Seeing this scene, Guan Xuelan, who was originally a little wary, immediately burst into laughter.

Good thing!

This time, the fisherman benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam!

only……

The moment a smile appeared on her face, she suddenly couldn't smile anymore.

because……

When Yun Zheng was in danger, her body suddenly turned out of control and ran towards Yun Zheng quickly, even exerting all her strength to the extreme. In just a blink of an eye, she was already in front of Yun Zheng.

When she came to her senses, the black palm that was about to beat Yun Zheng to death had already hit Guan Xuelan herself heavily.

she……

At the critical moment, he actually chose to help Yun Zheng resist the attack!!!
