In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

"How's my immortal Gu?"

Ye Fan casually handed the Immortal Gu to Sha Xiao, waiting for his judgment.

Sha Xiao glanced at Pang Bo and Ye Fan from left and right, clicking his tongue inwardly.

They truly deserve to be called outstanding figures of their time; neither of them is simple.

Pang Bo's ability to directly condense a celestial Gu that could be called the core inheritance of the esophagus was enough to make a ghost faint.

Ye Fan is even more outrageous. They don't know him, but Sha Xiao doesn't recognize him?

The reddish-gold ants are related to strength.

This is clearly a Gu worm formed by extracting the mark of the Heavenly Horned Ant clan, which was one of the Ten Fierce Races from the ancient times and grew to at least the Quasi-Immortal King level!

The saying "When one exerts their utmost power, one can rival the power of an Immortal King without even reaching the Immortal King level" refers to the Heavenly Horned Ant.

The Heavenly Horn Extreme Immortal Gu, imbued with a hint of the Heavenly Horn Ant's essence, is naturally extraordinary.

Simply holding it for a long time is equivalent to unlocking the upper limit of your strength, and your strength will naturally increase every day.

It allows ordinary people to reach the limit of blood-moving power.

Moreover, it will continuously accelerate people's understanding of the Way of Power.

Holding the Bodhi Seed and the Immortal Gu, Ye Fan could theoretically be considered a Grandmaster of Strength.

His only limitation was his own insufficient strength, which prevented him from skillfully using those techniques in practice.

What made Sha Xiao even more absurd was that this was a legendary Gu worm that combined nurturing and refining.

This Gu worm will continuously push the user's strength and power to increase.

The greater the user's power, the faster the Gu worm will grow.

Its food is the user's new understanding of power during the process of increasing their strength.

It's self-produced and self-sold, so it is.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Sha Xiao shook her head, looking at the two of them with some envy:

"You two are both outrageous."

"One of them refined a celestial gu that combined the esophagus with the transformation path, and the other gave me a physique at the level of the Ten Absolute Physique that I've never seen before."

"By the way, Lao Ye, I've never seen your 'empty acupoint' before. It's a bit like the Mighty True Martial Body, but there are some differences. I'll study it and tell you later."

As he spoke, he told Ye Fan and the others a comprehensive analysis of the Gu worm.

"I'm not telling the truth! That leaf is now able to keep gaining strength even while lying down and breathing!"

Pang Bo's eyes widened, and his voice rose a notch.

Seeing Sha Xiao nod, Pang Bo put his arm around Ye Fan's shoulder and laughed heartily:

"Damn, Ye Zi, that's so awesome!"

"I have to find food every day, but you can just lie down and it's so much easier for you than for me. You have to treat us, you absolutely have to treat us."

"No problem, roasted coptis chinensis, boiled pine needles, or ginseng salad, which do you prefer?"

Ye Fan chuckled.

"Cough cough."

Sha Xiao coughed twice, interrupting the two guys who were having a great time.

He straightened his face and looked at the two of them seriously, saying:

"Now that you've all made breakthroughs, it's time to talk about the problems you're facing."

"First of all, there's Pang Bo. Your Nourishing Immortal Gu is indeed an extremely effective immortal gu."

"But I think you've started to notice the problem, haven't you?"

Ye Fan looked at Pang Bo with a puzzled expression, wondering what the problem was.

Pang Bo has had the Immortal Gu for some time now, and we can only see that his strength is increasing faster and faster, and he can transform into more and more beasts.

Apart from his ever-increasing appetite, I haven't seen anything wrong with Pang Bo.

Pang Bo scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile:

"I only started to feel it a couple of days ago, Sha Xiao, how did you figure it out?"

Sha Xiao pointed to her brain:

"All the spirit beasts on this mountain are under my control. How could I not know that you had the spirit apes give you extra food in the middle of the night?"

Then he brought up the issue of nourishing the immortal gu with food:

"The cost of nourishing the immortal gu is very low and very simple."

"As long as the user eats a lot, it will work, but that's where the problem lies."

"Firstly, once the Dietary Supplement Immortal Gu has completely absorbed the principles contained within something, no matter how much more you eat, it will be useless."

"Secondly, the rarer the material contains Dao traces, the greater the amount of Immortal Food Gu required."

"The increasing demand for larger food intake, along with the demands on eating and digestion speed, presents an unavoidable challenge for Pang Bo."

Thirdly, as the old saying goes, "an empty body cannot tolerate nourishment."

"For someone with Pang Bo's cultivation level, if his Dao realm is insufficient, he is prone to overcompensating for it."

"In other words, his Dao traces as Pang Bo will be covered by what was eaten, and he may become a hybrid of the two."

"It's hard to say what Pang Bo will look like then, whether his way of thinking will be the same as it is now, or whether he will change back."

Hearing this, Ye Fan had already realized what was happening. He looked at Pang Bo in surprise and said:

"With such serious consequences, you still can't control your intake precisely, and you're still indulging in unhealthy eating and drinking? Are you courting death?"

Sha Xiao looked at Ye Fan and chuckled softly:

"Old Ye, don't worry about Pang Bo, you're not doing much better."

He picked up the tea to moisten his lips, took a breath, and then said:

"The Extreme Immortal Gu is almost a perfect Gu worm, but Gu worms are mostly mindless and do not consider the user."

"The Extreme Power Immortal Gu will only allow the user to reach the limit of power. Whether the user has a body capable of controlling the power is not a concern of it."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo are both from modern society, and their imaginations are absolutely wild.

They realized the problem from just this one point.

"Power will inevitably lead to enormous energy consumption, and my energy expenditure will become a major problem!"

Ye Fan murmured to himself, shuddering as he foresaw his future as a man who could only last three seconds.

"If your body and control over force can't keep up, you might tear your chest open while breathing."

Pang Bo looked at Ye Fan and reminded him with concern.

The two of them immediately realized that this Immortal Gu was indeed a good thing.

But it's like putting them on a super-fast treadmill that keeps accelerating, with a ferocious beast opening its jaws behind them.

If you can't keep up with the speed, falling and getting a bloody head is the least of your worries.

Sha Xiao smiled secretly as she looked at the two stunned people.

The Immortal Gu is both a pressure and an absolute help. With the Immortal Gu around, their growth rate will definitely far exceed that of the original story.

It's important to know that in the original story, Ye Fan's cultivation path may seem like it's filled with constant bloodshed and relentless activity, extremely busy and fast-paced.

In fact, Ye Fan had never actively risked his life to cultivate until he faced the dark turmoil head-on.

Aside from that miserable period when we were being chased by various ancient holy lands.

With King Jiang as his backer, Ye Fan spent most of his time traveling, having romance, and searching for his way home.

He got involved in this mess simply because after he started practicing the Source Method, he accumulated a ton of treasures and kept heading towards the locations of those treasures. It would be strange if he didn't end up fighting with people.

And so, he didn't actually put much effort into his cultivation.

Otherwise, with his comprehension of nurturing hundreds of scriptures, he would have broken through to the third level of immortality ten years ago if he had just slightly explored the medicinal power of the immortality elixir in his body.

If it weren't for the aggressive actions of the Primordial Clan, which persecuted Ye Fan's classmates and friends to such an extent, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to cultivate even after returning to Beidou.

Having been with Ye Fan for so many years, Sha Xiao had long since seen through Ye Fan's true nature.

Ye Fan is just a toad, he jumps around all the time.

Just like in the original story, after he broke through to the Heavenly Emperor level, he would be too lazy to go out even once every ten thousand years unless it was necessary.

Among the other Heavenly Emperor-level figures, apart from Ye Fan and Ruthless Man, who are both homebodies, almost all of them are troublemakers.

If other Heavenly Emperors were given ten thousand years, the Great Emperor Wushi would have already been holding the Black Emperor hostage and showing off countless times, and the Azure Emperor would have developed countless research projects on becoming an immortal.

The Immortal Emperor has undoubtedly laid countless traps targeting the ancient emperors.

You should know that even in Nirvana, he didn't forget to cause trouble using various legacy methods.

The main point is that I can be absent, but things can't function without me.

The Emperor was the most diligent back then. In just ten thousand years, he traveled all over the universe to set up array patterns that could last for millions of years.

For hundreds of thousands of years, stuck on the path to immortality, it has been diligently and tirelessly repairing this array pattern across different worlds.

Ye Fan and the Ruthless Great Emperor stayed at home obediently to cultivate and comprehend the Dao.

It can only be said that these two are a case of birds of a feather flocking together.

If there were no pressure, Ye Fan could definitely delay each realm until the very end, just like Zhang Wenchang, before breaking through.

To create a legendary scene where one breaks through to become a ten-thousand-year-old emperor, one must face the inevitable end of one's lifespan.

This is one of the reasons why Sha Xiao went to great lengths to bring the two of them into the Gu Dao.

Trying to slack off? Hmph, no way!

Without giving the two any breathing room, Sha Xiao continued to escalate the situation:

"Besides this, you've also seen the problem with the void. We are mortals controlling immortal Gu, and the void is difficult to maintain; it could shatter completely at any moment."

"Even without using the Immortal Gu much, your Void Apertures can only last for five years at most. If you can't seize the time to advance to the sixth level, your Void Apertures will inevitably shatter."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo both hissed in unison, falling into deep thought.

In the Gu Dao system, the sixth stage is a crucial juncture.

Before the sixth reincarnation, he was just an ordinary person.

If the Gu worms are not comprehensive enough, even when facing a cultivator from the Bitter Sea, one might be killed by someone of a higher level.

After the sixth transformation, the path of Gu cultivators can be described as a carp leaping over the dragon gate—soaring to the heavens, and can be called an immortal.

Not to mention that you carry around a small world that others can't grasp or touch.

If one's combat power were to directly ascend to the level of a fully prepared immortal, the three great masters of the Immortal Slayer would be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

As long as there are enough Immortal Gu and True Essence, it is not impossible to fight even the Four Immortal Saints.

Just by looking at the incredibly useful immortal Gu in their hands, Ye Fan and Pang Bo knew that they would never give up the path of Gu cultivation.

"Ye Zi, I have a feeling we've gotten ourselves on Old Sha's pirate ship?"

Pang Bo squinted and said.

Ye Fan's mind flashed back to his interactions with Sha Xiao, and he narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"It's not like we've already boarded a pirate ship."

"You hold me down, I'll take action!"

Pang Bo rolled up his sleeves and said familiarly.

"Hehehe..."

Ye Fan chuckled, and he and Pang Bo flanked Sha Xiao from both sides.

The two were already very familiar with this routine and were ready to give Sha Xiaoshuang a good time.

"Hahaha, well, didn't you guys keep asking me how to transform? Now that you've got the hang of it, I can teach you."

Sha Xiao took a step back, chuckled, and changed the subject.

"Is it really true, Godfather?"

Pang Bo immediately slid to his knees and turned 180 degrees to his side.

"Ahem, let me make this clear first, I'm not an entomologist."

Ye Fan coughed and whispered in a high-speed divine voice:

Do you have any Gundam series?

Watching the two people who were all obsequious at first, Sha Xiao found a chair, sat down, squinted her eyes, and hummed:

"Oh dear, as people get older, their shoulders get sore easily..."

With a whoosh, Ye Fan was already standing behind, using the true meaning of force to pinch it just right.

"How's that? How's the power?"

Ye Fan asked with a smile.

"Hmm, not bad." Sha Xiao nodded. "Speaking of this mecha, we have to talk about its killer move."

As he spoke, he enjoyed Ye Fan massaging his shoulders and Pang Bo patting his legs.

He slowly explained the specific components of this killing move to them.

After a while, Sha Xiao's mouth was dry from talking. Just as she opened her mouth, Pang Bo brought her a glass of chilled juice.

"Slurp—, ha—"

Sha Xiao sipped her juice with great enjoyment, squinting as she explained the killer move and outlined the strategy for the two of them.

"Are you done talking?" Ye Fan asked.

"Hmm." Sha Xiao nodded. "Use the resources at hand to solve the problem of mutually exclusive Dao traces, let them complement each other and make up for each other's weaknesses, highlight their strengths, and the killing move is that simple."

"That's all." Ye Fan said with a cold smile.

He put his hands over Sha Xiao's shoulders and lifted him up with force, coordinating with Pang Bo lifting his calves, and in one go, he lifted Sha Xiao up.

"Get him!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a smile and spoke in unison.

"Ah! You unfilial son!"

Sha Xiao covered his groin, opened his eyes, and cursed loudly.

"Stop! Bullying an elderly person! Is there no justice in this world? Help!"

The piercing scream startled the birds in the bamboo forest, and a gentle breeze stirred, rippling the remaining juice.

-----------------

Lingxu Cliff, after a day of preaching.

After receiving the Herbal Elixir, the disciples gathered in twos and threes, discussing the news that hadn't happened in eight hundred years within the cave.

"Hey, did you guys know? I heard that those two promising young immortals have already embarked on the path of cultivation."

Someone lowered their voice and spoke softly.

"I know, I know. It's said that their cultivation methods are quite different from ours. Those two are practicing combat every day, and their power is astonishing!"

"Even Senior Sister Weiwei went to learn it. I wish we could learn it too."

Some people's voices betrayed an undisguised envy.

"Hmph, you obviously don't know, do you? There's no way they're stopping us from watching over there; it's just that it takes at least ten days to get there and back."

A young man carrying a bundle snorted coldly, showing great disdain for his fellow disciples who dared not take action.

"Brother Dao, are you really going? Won't you miss the elders' instruction and the Hundred Herbs Elixir during this period?"

Some people looked at the young man in surprise.

"The elders taught that if you miss an opportunity, you might miss it, and you can earn the resources back. But if you miss the chance to witness different methods of spiritual practice, you might regret it for the rest of your life."

The young man spoke proudly as he strode towards Qingmao Mountain, the edge of the cave.

Watching the young man leave so gracefully, the crowd's expressions ranged from envy and admiration to disdain.

Finally, someone shouted:

"Brother Dao, wait a moment! They are at the edge of the cave. It would be too dangerous for you to go alone. I will accompany you!"

A wise person looked around for a while and discovered that everyone who had been in the Sea of ​​Bitterness for some time had quietly left Lingxu Cliff.

They quickly gathered their companions and gave chase.

Above Lingxu Cliff, inside the elder's cave.

Several elderly people brewed tea while watching their disciples below with smiles.

"Hehehe, the children in the cave haven't been this lively in a long time."

A middle-aged elder sipped the spirit wine produced in Qingmao Mountain and said, slightly tipsy.

"That's only right! How can we cultivators sit huddled on a small platform, holding back for a little bit of herbal elixir? When an opportunity arises, we should seize it ourselves; that's what makes the Spirit Realm like."

An elder stroked his long, snow-white beard with satisfaction.

"It's a pity that if it weren't my turn to preach, I would definitely have gone to observe."

Some elders were anxious and worried because they could not watch the new law.

"Yes, Elder Han and Elder Wu are really lucky; it just so happened to be their turn."

An elder sighed.

"It's all about timing and luck; we can't force it. Besides, there's plenty of time ahead. With Fellow Daoist Sha here, why should we worry about not seeing the new Dharma?"

Some people, however, remained calm and composed.

That's very true.

The elders nodded in agreement.

After some time, the disciples who had set off one after another arrived outside Qingmao Mountain.

Upon their arrival, they discovered that many elders and fellow disciples had already set up camp on the mountain peak opposite Qingmao Mountain.

"Are they fellow disciples who came to watch the match?"

Upon their arrival, a cultivator from the Divine Spring on the mountain flew down on a rainbow and inquired.

"Indeed, may I ask why you are here watching the match, senior brother?"

After bowing, someone asked.

"Hahaha." Just as the senior brother was about to explain, he saw a commotion on the mountain.

"Oh, it's about to begin."

He quickly said:

"Don't resist. I'll take you up with me, and you'll see for yourselves in a moment."

After saying that, the senior brother didn't care about the rapid depletion of his divine power. He swept his divine light over his fellow disciples and returned to the mountain in a flash.

Upon arriving at the mountain, the newcomers saw that those who had arrived earlier were all holding binoculars and looking towards Qingmao Mountain on the opposite side.

Lacking equipment, they had to use both hands and feet to climb to the edge of the cliff, staring wide-eyed at the opposite side.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo stood facing each other in the martial arts training ground that had been cleared out on the mountainside, with Senior Sister Weiwei standing between them as the referee.

"Battle 43, begin!"

As Weiwei spoke, she suddenly transformed into a rainbow and retreated.

"Cool cool cool cool—!"

A metallic clanging sound came from Ye Fan's body.

In the blink of an eye, a strangely shaped metal giant, with two golden horns on its head and a pure white body, standing more than ten meters tall, stood in the mountains.

"It's here! Today it's the All-Powerful Silver Armor!"

Upon seeing this design, some people cheered.

Some people were frustrated:

"How can you use this? Speed ​​is the most important thing when fighting a monster like Pangbo! How can you abandon the red triangle? Where's my red triangle head?"

"Hmph, so what? How could a petty person like Pang Bo, who only relies on his size, possibly defeat Senior Brother Ye?"

"Exactly! Thirty-seven to six! I bet Senior Brother Ye will win again this time! I just want to see Senior Brother Ye dragging Pang Xiaogou by the legs and doing another Heaven and Earth Smash!"

A die-hard fan of Ye Fan loudly proclaimed this.

"Absolutely! Absolutely! That battle is still vivid in my memory! Like an ant trying to shake an elephant, his strength was boundless. He truly deserves the legendary divine body!"

Some of Pang Bo's fans couldn't stand it anymore and snorted coldly:

"What kind of skill is it to rely on a divine body to show off one's power? Senior Brother Pang's path of enlightenment, which he developed by observing the changes in the forms of demonic beasts, is the future of us disciples."

"Exactly! If Pang Bo had as many resources to support him as Ye Feicai, he could wear armor too!"

"Snapped!"

A die-hard fan of Ye Fan glared angrily and slapped down a century-old ginseng, saying disdainfully:

"I don't even care about any more of yours. Ten bottles of Hundred Herbs Elixir, if Pang Bo wins, they're yours. Dare to bet? Dare to bet!"

Among Pang Bo's many fans, they looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

After all, if someone isn't truly poor, how could they empathize with Pang Bo, who lost so many times?

"Ha, a peasant will always be a peasant. Don't think that you've changed your status just because you've been lucky enough to enter the immortal realm."

The man held his head high, looking disdainfully at his timid fellow disciples.

"I'll do it!"

Finally, a short, stocky cultivator couldn't resist stepping forward and throwing out ten bottles of herbal elixir.

Someone nearby advised:

"Senior brother, don't be impulsive. This is something you worked hard to accumulate in order to break through to the Life Spring. That person only cursed a few words. Forget it, forget it."

The short, stocky man pushed away the others' hands and shouted:

"I've thought it through! You know, fortunes change every thirty years. Pang Bo is just a mortal, yet he has fought to a draw three times and defeated Senior Brother Ye three times."

"So what if Fellow Daoist Pang can't defeat Senior Brother Ye this time? It's just ten bottles of Hundred Herbs Elixir. I'll just go and find them again in the Spirit Ruins!"

"If I shrink back today, what's the point of cultivating to become an Egg Immortal? I'll never be able to break through the Spring of Life and cross the Bridge to Godhood in this lifetime!"

With a "boom," all the disciples present cheered and applauded his words.

Even Ye Fan's high and mighty fans looked at him with new respect and had to admit it:

"Good, you are indeed a man of honor, a true member of Lingxu!"

At the summit, the elders sipped tea, smiling as they watched the energetic disciples below.

"Good, that's what a disciple of Lingxu should be like."

Elder Wu Qingfeng stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Not bad, not bad. Although that kid is a bit slow-witted, he has potential."

The other elders also sincerely praised it.

While they were having a lively discussion, Pang Bo had already finished his preparations.

"Awooo—!"

Pang Bo roared, and his body rapidly expanded and changed color.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into an eighty-meter-tall, slender mecha monster covered in large patches of purple and green.

"Oh, oh, oh! That's it! Big is beautiful! Pang Bo, you did a great job! Smash him hard with the First Generation Shura!"

"Charge! Skyhawk Armor!"

Some of the Daoist brothers who supported Pang Bo pounded their chests and shouted happily.
