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

Chapter 60 Humanity and Heaven (2k)

Seeing Pang Bo nodding and Ye Fan remaining silent, Sha Xiao paced back and forth for a while.

After thinking for a while, he asked the two of them a seemingly unrelated question: "Pang Bo, Ye Zi, if it were you, what kind of ability would you want to help your cultivation?"

"Of course, it's seventy-two transformations!"

Without a second's hesitation, Pang Bo immediately became animated.

Ye Fan rubbed his fist, looked at the Heavenly Horn Extreme Gu within his body, and after much deliberation, said, "I think I need the power to reverse all things."

"Bingo!"

Sha Xiao snapped her fingers and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Have you discovered it? This is one of the sources from which you used the heavens and earth to refine your first natal Gu—your own desires."

"I see."

Ye Fan nodded knowingly. He had been strong since childhood and was used to pushing everything aside.

When he encounters a problem, he subconsciously longs for the infinite power to solve any trouble.

Therefore, he obtained the Heavenly Horn Extreme Gu.

"But why did I manage to condense a nourishing immortal Gu?"

Pang Bo was still completely baffled.

"Because your heart is divided; the desire to eat is your human heart, and the ever-changing demonic heart is also yours."

"The two were mixed together, but human nature prevailed over change, and thus the Great Dao shaped the Gu worm."

"Luckily, your human nature prevailed over change, otherwise who would know if you were still human, or if you were still Pang Bo?"

Sha Xiao said with relief.

"In short, the innate Gu that a person is forged from heaven and earth is the nature that he is most skilled at and most desires at that time."

Sha Xiao paused, scratched his chin, thought for a long time, sighed, and said, "Actually, I don't really want to say this, but if you don't know about my first natal Gu, you won't understand why I'm going to do what I'm about to do."

"Oh?"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.

They assumed that, given Sha Xiao's personality, he would remain silent.

Sha Xiao turned his head and said in a high-speed divine voice, "My first natal Gu is just a first-turn borrowing power Gu."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were both immediately surprised: "A First-Stage Gu?"

How could it be a first-stage Gu?

Both of them refined a sixth-level immortal gu as soon as they were enlightened. How could Sha Xiao, the founder of the gu path, only have a first-level gu?

After Sha Xiao said it, she felt her shoulders relax a lot and her whole body felt less tense.

He gazed in the direction of Qingmao Mountain and sighed, "Back then, I hadn't taken any divine medicine, nor was I in a blessed place like Qingmao Mountain, and I hadn't opened both the Bitter Sea and the Void Aperture at the same time. It would have been good enough if I had any Gu worms."

"However, that's not the point. The point is, have you noticed? Humans can influence the Great Dao, or rather, humans themselves are a Great Dao."

"Humanity can replace the Way of Heaven. And emptiness is precisely a product of the Way of Heaven."

Ye Fan frowned and pondered deeply. What exactly did Sha Xiao mean by saying all this?

"Old Sha, you might as well explain yourself more clearly, I don't understand."

Pang Bo was much more straightforward. If he didn't understand, he simply didn't understand and didn't bother with beating around the bush. With a single sentence, he broke the mysterious atmosphere.

"Oh..."

'

Just as Sha Xiao was about to start showing off, Pang Bo suddenly interrupted her, leaving her stunned.

"Oh, no, oh..."

'

Sha Xiao, whose mood had been disrupted, also lost interest. He sighed and sat down to explain the plan.

"Actually, Pang Bo, you're right. I have two methods to take advantage of these two people's weaknesses."

"The first method is just as you think: directly use a person to refine the Human Aperture, and use the Human Aperture to refine the Second Void Aperture Gu."

""

Ye Fan frowned upon hearing this, but acknowledged the excellence of the method.

Opening a second aperture means they can cultivate one more path, doubling their combat power.

Moreover, it can move the Immortal Gu into a new cavity, avoiding the problem of its own cavity shattering.

Pang Bo shook his head in rejection: "Isn't that the same as Elder Han's situation? No, we're all human, I can't accept that."

Sha Xiao laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Don't worry, now that I know you can't accept it, I'll naturally find another way."

"Don't underestimate me, and don't underestimate the power of Gu."

"My method is more complicated than the traditional one, but it is much more efficient."

Coughing, Sha Xiao handed Ye Fan a small jade bottle and said, "Ye Zi, here's some of your blood, nails, and hair."

Despite his surprise, Ye Fan still prepared the materials according to Sha Xiao's requirements.

Sha Xiao lit a fire and, with a touch of nostalgia, took out a small stone pot tattooed with images of Kuafu, Longbo, giants, and other ancient mythical creatures.

This was the little broken pot he used for a long time on Earth, accompanying him through the time before the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Stealing inherited his legacy.

"Old Sha, you're not saying you're going to use these of mine to refine Gu, are you?"

Ye Fan looked at Sha Xiao, who had directly attracted the lava fire, and felt a little awkward.

Sha Xiao's face was illuminated by the alternating black and red lava, making him look extremely eerie.

He chuckled sinisterly at Pang Bo and Ye Fan, "I'll show you how many treasures your bodies can refine, so you'll know what kind of Tang Monk's flesh you are in other people's eyes."

As he spoke, he poured Ye Fan's blood into the container like an old witch.

Seeing that Sha Xiao had actually taken out a pot, Ye Fan and Pang Bo held their breath and stared intently at it.

Back in Qingmao Mountain, aside from when they were refining the Blood Skull Gu, they rarely saw Sha Xiao so focused.

He would often just grab a few things, throw them into a fire in front of him, burn them into a messy pile of junk, and then bury it somewhere in the mountains.

Then, after a couple of days, you'll see the Gu worms you're trying to refine appear on a certain spirit beast. Usually, at this point, they can have an extra meal.

Seeing Sha Xiao so seriously refining Gu after so long, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were taken aback and began to watch closely.

Although they failed many times in their attempts, they never gave up on improving their Gu-refining skills.

The three of them were all well aware that the path of cultivation was long and anything could happen.

If the three of them encounter an accident and have to be separated, then raising and refining the Gu worms will have to be their own responsibility.

Therefore, every time Sha Xiao refined Gu, even if they couldn't understand it, they would try their best to memorize it.

Sha Xiao focused all her attention on the unfamiliar material in front of her, not daring to deviate even slightly.

The reason why refining immortal Gu was so easy before was because at that time, it was almost always done by relying on divine objects or secret realms of heaven and earth.

They were extremely careful, afraid that even a slight misstep would cause the added materials to affect the effectiveness of the Gu-refining process.

A step is refined dozens or even hundreds of times before proceeding.

This is the normal way for ordinary people to use new materials to deduce new Gu formulas from old Gu worms.

Even for a Great Love Immortal Venerable who has attained the highest level of cultivation through refining the Dao, it is common for the furnace to explode twice when deducing a new Gu formula.

If Sha Xiao hadn't possessed the true meaning of four beings and could also compensate with the Heaven-Covering Technique, he wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.

Moreover, he intends to go straight to the peak of the mortal realm by cultivating that Gu worm.
