Chapter 1175 Huge Gains, Since We're Already Here
Yes, my urge to steal has returned.
This was the first thought that came to Gu Xiu's mind when he saw the block of ice.
Ever since the two fingers were pieced together from the Divine Demon Finger Bone, the Divine Demon Finger Bone has possessed a thief-like ability, capable of unexpectedly stealing things from those around them.
Whether in Zhaoping Village or later in the Hehuan Sect, Gu Xiu experienced both pain and pleasure.
However, this theft did not last long.
Whether it was because his thieving addiction was satisfied or because the novelty wore off, aside from his initial frenzy of stealing, the Divine Demon Finger Bone rarely stole afterward, to the point that Gu Xiu himself almost forgot about the Divine Demon Finger Bone's ability.
I didn't expect them to make a move again this time.
and……
"Huh, is there something in here?" Gu Xiu's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the ice block in his hand.
The ice block wasn't large, only slightly larger than a fist. It was hazy all over, white with a hint of blue, and not very transparent. So you could only vaguely make out that something was inside the very center of the ice block.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Gu Xiu noticed...
It appears to be an object no longer than a finger, somewhat resembling a small flower, but it's not clearly visible due to the ice layer.
However, Gu Xiu is more concerned about the ice block than what's inside.
Because this ice block was exactly the same as the ice layer under his feet, and judging from its shape, it looked like it had been pried off with someone's fingers. Although Gu Xiu looked around, he couldn't find where a small piece of ice was missing.
But this discovery still excited Gu Xiu.
Because it means.
The divine and demonic finger bone in his hand seemed to actually be able to shake the ice layer that required the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable to move!
"Your Highness, the interdimensional immortal array is about to be fully activated."
"Do you...do you want to find your way around first?"
Just then, Fairy Xuanji spoke up from afar, reminding them. The three of them were very uneasy, their faces filled with worry.
Even if Gu Xiu said he had the means to break the ice layer.
But the problem is.
Even if the ice layer is broken, what about the orientation?
If the correct direction cannot be deduced, it is equally useless.
The best outcome is naturally to enter the Vast Universe. Even entering the cage within the Vast Universe is not the worst outcome. The truly worst outcome is if you don't reach the Vast Universe and instead accidentally get stuck in the void between the two realms. That would be the real end.
Even teleportation arrays, which rely on the power of void rifts, carry a significant risk of causing people to get lost within them.
However, if it is the void between the two realms.
That's truly beyond saving.
Because once trapped within, even those with the power to cross realms could become permanently lost and trapped in the void without a clear direction. Not to mention, this is the void within the Immortal Realm and the vast universe; even an Immortal Emperor might face the risk of eternal exile.
Gu Xiu had already learned about the risks involved from them, so he naturally dared not be careless. At this moment, he held the Divine Demon Finger Bone and began to walk on the ice.
He was also somewhat uncertain.
but……
Just as he reached a corner of the Sin Lake, Gu Xiu suddenly raised his eyebrows and lowered his head, sensing with his heart.
He felt it faintly.
Behind the ice beneath his feet, something seemed to be drawing him in, something akin to the power of cause and effect.
"There is someone in this position with whom I have a great karmic connection!"
"It's just strange..."
"This person seems very close to me, as if we're only separated by this layer of ice, not far at all?"
This thought suddenly came to Gu Xiu's mind.
He didn't know if his feelings were accurate, nor did he know who the person responsible for this great cause and effect was.
But Gu Xiu also knew this.
this location.
It should be considered a relatively safe position!
Next, it’s all about waiting.
Because this place was already some distance from the edge of the Sin Lake, the surrounding mist and fog prevented him from seeing the traces of Ling Xuzi and the other two. However, through the increasingly intense spatial fluctuations, he could roughly guess that the three of them were still fully engaged in activating the great formation.
Gu Xiu wasn't in a hurry at all.
As he calculated the time, he thought to himself that he was probably the only mortal in history to ascend to the Immortal Realm. It was just a pity that he, as an ascendant, had disgraced everyone, not even having a proper look at what the Immortal Realm looked like before having to rush back.
to be frank.
I'm somewhat unwilling to accept this.
"Your Highness, your subordinate has completed the preparations!" Just then, Ming Chen's voice came. At the same time, Gu Xiu also felt that the constantly fluctuating spatial power seemed to be in a tripod-like formation, with one leg already firmly in place.
Next, we need to wait for Ling Xuzi and Fairy Xuanji.
Hearing him speak, Gu Xiu's heart stirred: "Ming Chen, although Tianyu only nominally accepted you as disciples, shouldn't he have given you a formal apprenticeship gift?"
what?
Ming Chen seemed surprised that the Emperor's son would ask this, but since he had already decided to help the Emperor's son, he naturally wouldn't hide anything and immediately replied:
"Your Highness, although we are only disciples of the Immortal Venerable in name, we were indeed given some benefits when we became disciples. In addition to some immortal crystals and the promise of joining the Heavenly Oracle Immortal Clan, we were also given a set of True Immortal-level cultivation techniques."
At this point, Ming Chen added somewhat embarrassedly, "True Immortal-level cultivation techniques can only be obtained by relying on a powerful force. For three rogue immortals like us, it's almost impossible to even come into contact with them without their consent..."
This subordinate was somewhat insecure, fearing that Gu, the son of Emperor Xiu, would laugh at him.
But will Gu Xiu laugh at him?
of course not!
He didn't know how the strength was divided in the Immortal Realm, nor did he know if this True Immortal-level cultivation technique was commonplace in the Immortal Realm, but Gu Xiu was very clear that this thing was definitely not something that people in the Vast Universe could come into contact with.
and so!
Gu, shameless as ever, asked, "Can you give me your cultivation technique?"
"Huh?" Ming Chen was stunned, clearly not expecting that a prince of the emperor would be interested in a true immortal-level cultivation technique.
"Ahem." Gu Xiu coughed lightly, "This imperial prince simply has a slight fondness for the Heavenly Decree's cultivation techniques..."
Before the excuse could be finished, a jade slip, as white as jade and exuding an ethereal aura, broke through the mist and flew in.
Gu Xiu reached out and took it, then heard Ming Chen say:
"Although True Immortal-level cultivation techniques are hard to find for Loose Immortals, after becoming a disciple of Heavenly Decree Immortal Venerable, I can obtain such True Immortal-level cultivation techniques at any time. However, it is not allowed to be passed on privately. But it will probably not be easy for the Imperial Prince to find a weakness in Heavenly Decree Immortal Venerable with this technique. His cultivation technique is definitely not this one."
Clearly, this is a sensible subordinate.
Since the other party was so understanding, Gu Xiu simply asked again, "Are there any other cultivation techniques? Give them to me as well!"
"Your Highness, I only possess one set of ordinary immortal techniques that I cultivated before..."
"Just give it to me."
Upon hearing this, Ming Chen didn't hesitate and immediately tossed over another jade slip. He didn't press Gu Xiu, as an imperial prince, for what he needed it for. As a competent subordinate, he knew very well what he shouldn't ask.
It's not just him.
Even Ling Xuzi and Fairy Xuanji, who were still tinkering with the interdimensional immortal array, didn't wait for Gu Xiu to speak before throwing all the immortal techniques they had collected at him. Ling Xuzi had two, and Fairy Xuanji had one; both were offensive techniques different from the True Immortal-level immortal techniques given by Ming Chen.
This ease of doing things made Gu Xiu, who had been deceiving people with his identity as the emperor's son, feel a little embarrassed.
What a sin! They trusted me so much, yet I deceived them like this.
However, such a thought only lasted for a moment before being dispelled by surprise. He immediately and happily stored all five sets of immortal cultivation techniques into the Mountain and River Remnant Realm, planning to transfer them to the wordless ancient book when he had time, and then integrate them with his current cultivation techniques.
In fact, because he had an unnamed ancient book that allowed him to integrate cultivation techniques, Gu Xiu had never given up on the path of integrating cultivation techniques.
However, the more powerful a cultivation technique is, the rarer and harder it is to find, since many of them are secrets kept by other sects.
But that's not actually the biggest problem.
The biggest problem is that after several fusions of top-grade cultivation techniques, Gu Xiu discovered that further fusions of top-grade techniques would only slightly improve his current cultivation technique, at most restoring spiritual energy and speeding up the circulation of meridians.
The improvement was not significant; it seemed that there was a bottleneck that prevented him from breaking through the upper limit of his cultivation techniques no matter how much he integrated them.
But now we have five immortal cultivation techniques. Although four of them are not particularly precious treasures to immortals in the immortal realm, they are extremely rare to a native of the vast universe, not to mention that there is also a true immortal-level cultivation technique.
Gu Xiu was very much looking forward to it.
What will these five sets of techniques bring me next?
"It seems that this harvest has been quite substantial."
After patting the broken porcelain shards of the Mountain and River Remnant Realm, Gu Xiu felt satisfied. However, seeing that Ling Xuzi had already completed the great formation, and only Fairy Xuanji was a little short of activating it, Gu Xiu was quite pleased.
Gu Xiu flipped his wrist and simply took out the green bamboo pole as well.
This treasure hasn't been used for a long time. After such a long period of nurturing and recovery, the strength of the green bamboo pole has recovered extremely well, almost reaching the level when Gu Xiu first used it.
This is my first time in the Immortal Realm. Although I can only be considered passing through, I will come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.
But come all come.
or……
Should I cast a shot?
