Chapter 212: Breaking Through to the Second Peak of the Saint Realm
Gu Qing entered the Zhou Tian Xingchen Great Formation.
This formation was a Xian-grade formation, also a separate realm world, specifically designed to absorb the light of the sun, moon, and stars from all heavens and worlds.
Moreover, it could convert ten drops of Three Light Divine Water each year.
Gu Qing looked at the vast ocean before him, somewhat stunned in his heart.
The sea waves rippled, and the bottom of the sea seemed like an endless starry sky, dotted with countless stars shining with brilliant light.
"So beautiful!" Su Qingyue exclaimed.
This seawater was formed from droplets condensed from the light of the sun, moon, and stars, gathering into a sea of stars, a beauty that words could not capture.
Just looking at it seemed to cleanse one's soul, bringing peace to the heart and spirit.
"If you like it, we can come visit often!"
As he spoke, Gu Qing reached out his hand, using spatial divine arts to hold the universe within his palm, scooping up one ten-thousandth of the light of the sun, moon, and stars.
The three of them left the Zhou Tian Xingchen Great Formation and entered the boundless, dead silent starry sky.
Gu Qing placed the demonic beast's flesh and blood and the light of the sun, moon, and stars into the Golden Gourd for refinement.
Soon, he obtained a massive amount of treasure liquid.
Gu Qing opened it to take a look.
The quality was indeed much better, containing the laws of stars that could enhance a person's divine soul power.
He gave one percent to the two women.
Though it was only one percent, the amount contained within was equivalent to a vast ocean, enough for them to use for a very long time.
"With such a supreme treasure to assist them, how could they fail to achieve the Great Dao?" Bai Suying said with an excited expression.
The Golden Gourd was too marvelous; the treasure liquid it condensed could be called a supreme treasure for body refinement, enhancing and strengthening the life origin.
At the same time, it was also a supreme treasure for assisting in cultivation and comprehending the Dao.
The law power contained within could help people comprehend the power of laws.
Cultivating with the treasure liquid and Primordial Yellow Mother Qi, their cultivation levels skyrocketed as if riding a rocket.
She was just an ordinary Heavenly Pride, but with Gu Qing's techniques and these two divine treasures assisting her, she had leaped to become a Heavenly Demon Monster that looked down upon the world, with limitless prospects and easy ascension to immortality.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Su Qingyue and Bai Suying, separated by a galaxy, both underwent tribulation and broke through their realms.
"Ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, not bad..."
Gu Qing's divine light flowed in his eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through time and space to directly stare at the tribulation clouds and thunder sea.
As everyone knew, the higher the level of heavenly tribulation, the better one's talent.
And ninety-nine heavenly tribulations represented the qualification of a Heavenly Demon Monster.
Above that would be the Purple Xiao Heavenly Tribulation.
This was an innate heavenly tribulation; after passing it, one could transform from a post-heavenly foundation to an innate foundation.
Soon, nine days passed in a flash, and the two of them safely passed through the tribulation.
Mysterious Dao rhythms surged around them, their auras ethereal, as if they were two transcendent goddesses, untouched by any worldly dust.
"Senior brother."
Su Qingyue floated over, like a fairy from the Cold Palace, beautiful and pure.
Gu Qing pulled her slender waist into his embrace, one arm holding the elegant and dignified Bai Suying, and they flashed into the Primordial Ruyi Space.
They tumbled about, unaware of heaven and earth.
Gu Qing said, "You two cultivate first, I'm going out to handle something."
"Mm!" Su Qingyue's cheeks seemed to be coated with a layer of redness, her face so red it seemed about to drip blood, her beautiful eyes flashing, unable to look at Gu Qing.
Hearing Gu Qing's words, Su Qingyue covered her face and ran off.
"Look at the mess you've made."
Bai Suying pretended to be calm as she glared at Gu Qing, her steps hurried, somewhat fleeing in disarray.
Gu Qing smiled and left the Ruyi Space, using a secret art.
A Disaster Black Dragon appeared across the sky, exuding an aura that seemed like the source of all demons and evils.
"Roar!"
The Disaster Black Dragon howled to the sky, summoning curses scattered throughout all heavens and worlds.
Countless cultivators who had been cursed suddenly heard the roar of the Disaster Black Dragon in their minds and immediately knelt down piously, offering themselves as sacrifices, turning into blood water and fleeing into the void.
Whether they were in the Saint Realm or Divine Flame Realm, none could escape.
The Disaster Black Dragon opened its mouth and inhaled.
Space tore open, and blood surged forth.
The dragon's mouth was like a black hole, devouring all the blood, rapidly refining it as its aura climbed steadily.
[Congratulations, Host, for slaying the Heavenly Fate Female Lead, plundering 100,000 points of luck, and obtaining one lottery chance.]
[Congratulations, Host...]
Gu Qing was stunned by the sudden system announcement but quickly came to his senses.
Lin Xuan's sister really gave him an unexpected surprise.
Gu Qing glanced at his luck; it had increased by one million, and he now had seven lottery chances.
This meant Lin Xuan had seven sisters who were all female leads.
There were also people associated with Lin Xuan, as well as their sects and families, totaling hundreds of millions of living beings.
Killing all these people would earn rewards from the system.
It was just a matter of how much; for those whose cultivation level was too far below his, the system rewarded a few spirit stones.
And those in the Saint Realm and Divine Flame Realm, according to the system's evaluation, didn't even count as killing enemies beyond one's level.
It seemed the system evaluated rewards based on the Disaster Black Dragon's strength.
But it didn't matter; even a mosquito's leg is meat.
It was all free anyway.
"Lottery!" Gu Qing's face showed joy as he thought in his mind.
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a divine artifact, Crescent Moon.]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a divine-grade technique...]
"Three divine artifacts, two techniques, three divine marrows, not bad at all!"
Gu Qing claimed all the treasures, planning to hand over the ones he couldn't use to Chu Yao to handle.
As for the lottery winnings, they were all top-tier treasures.
The three divine artifacts all had the potential to advance to immortal artifacts.
The value of the three divine marrows was by no means low.
After all, they were huge.
Each was about a meter in size, and the energy contained within was enough for ten Saint Realm experts to break through to the Divine Flame Realm.
The two divine-grade techniques were also in no way inferior.
After organizing the treasures, Gu Qing thought for a moment and decided to undergo tribulation and break through his realm.
Mysterious spatial Dao rhythms surged around him, and he crossed a galaxy to come to the depths of the universe.
He adjusted his mindset, poured out a massive amount of treasure liquid, and began to absorb it by circulating the Chaos Undying Sutra.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The Destruction Heavenly Tribulations arrived as scheduled.
Gu Qing's divine sense swept over the Destruction Heavenly Tribulations, and his expression changed slightly.
The Destruction Divine Thunder in the tribulation clouds, each one, had the power to kill a Divine Flame Realm expert.
And this was only the first day; for the following eight days, the Destruction Heavenly Tribulations would only become more terrifying.
The Disaster Black Dragon could at most withstand the first day's tribulation.
This tribulation was more terrifying than he had imagined; it seemed he couldn't rely on the Disaster Black Dragon.
He didn't want the Disaster Black Dragon to be blasted to pieces by the Destruction Divine Thunder in the end, forcing him to use the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing directly summoned the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda to withstand the tribulation.
The moment the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda appeared, time and space seemed to freeze, as innate aura flowed out, suppressing the universe.
Gu Qing didn't dare to unleash the full power of the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda, using only a small portion of its might.
After all, the commotion was too large, and it easily leaked innate aura.
In any case, using a bit of its power was enough to withstand the tribulation.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
All the Destruction Divine Thunder struck the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda, like raindrops, leaving no trace on it.
Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
The Primordial Ruyi Pagoda was truly an innate supreme treasure; its defense was impeccable.
Gu Qing circulated the Chaos Undying Sutra to refine the Destruction Divine Thunder, and the bottleneck of the Saint Realm shattered with a bang.
In the instant he entered the Saint Realm and comprehended it, Gu Qing's mind buzzed, and his Purple Mansion rapidly expanded.
His entire person seemed to enter a new world, transcending the mortal and entering the sacred.
His divine soul and physical body rapidly transformed, like a hundred rivers entering the sea, frantically devouring the treasure liquid and Destruction Divine Thunder.
His realm climbed steadily, and a sacred aura emanated from him, as if he were the only true god in the world, his Dao law reflecting all heavens, able to survey heaven and earth with a single thought.
Nine days passed in a flash.
Gu Qing sensed the changes in himself; not only was his realm stabilized, but he had also broken through to the second peak of the Saint Realm.
He could have such gains thanks to the Great Dao insights transmitted by the Disaster Black Dragon.
"Indeed, taking it one step at a time is correct; there are no shortcuts to the Dao!"
Gu Qing compared the Saint Realm of the Disaster Black Dragon with his own breakthrough Saint Realm; they were completely on different levels.
It was countless times stronger than the realm he had received from the Disaster Black Dragon.
After tidying up, Gu Qing headed straight for Starlight Peak.
Looking at the information on the jade slip in his hand, Gu Qing felt uneasy.
Jiang Yu actually wanted him to repay his debt.
This was truly a fantasy.
He, Gu Qing, was penniless; repaying a debt was impossible, not in this lifetime.
In short, no money, and no life to give.
