Chapter 433 - 433: Ninth Revolution Gu King (First Update)
Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Ninth Revolution Gu King (First Update)
Lu Xia nodded and sat next to the stone table, eating while asking, “How is the cultivation of your Gu King Egg coming along?”
Ah Fei replied respectfully, “Reporting to Master, it just broke through to the third revolution!”
Lu Xia’s eyes lit up slightly, “Oh? Your progress is quite good, show it to me!”
“Yes!”
Ah Fei did not dare to disobey his master’s order, closing his eyes slightly, his body exuding a powerful aura, with faint cyan light flowing between his chest and abdomen.
Then he opened his mouth, and a flash of cyan light zipped by; when it came to a halt, it was actually a lustrous little cyan snake.
The little snake coiled around Ah Fei’s neck, peeking out its head, gently flicking its tongue.
Although the little snake was small, the formidable aura it emitted already revealed its extraordinary nature.
The little snake then nodded to Lu Xia slightly, as if it were making a salutation.
Lu Xia revealed a somewhat satisfied smile, “Not bad, Ah Fei, your innate gift for the Gu Dao is even better than I imagined!”
“The so-called Nine Revolutions of Gu Dao: third revolution transcends the mundane, sixth revolution is to be true, ninth revolution is to be king! Now that your Green Snake Gu has already taken shape, you have entered the room!”
Hearing Lu Xia’s praise, Ah Fei was thrilled.
Since returning to Miao Immortal Valley, Ah Fei had cut off all of his previous bad habits, living a life of discipline so extreme it bordered on the perverse, and it was only then that his once world-tainted Gu heart finally began to recover.
The reason he was so frantic was entirely that Ah Fei did not want to let down Lu Xia’s expectations of him.
Now his efforts had finally paid off.
Ah Fei was, of course, very happy.
“Master, your injury…” The matter of greatest concern to Ah Fei and everyone in Miao Immortal Valley was Lu Xia’s injury.
After all, as an Insect Immortal, the current Gu Master, Lu Xia was the pillar of Miao Immortal Valley!
Lu Xia smiled, extended his hand, and, amidst twinkling lights, a Three-Legged Golden Toad appeared in his palm.
“My lifeline Gu insect was seriously injured and almost died, but to my surprise, in this Insect Immortal Holy Land, through a fortunate coincidence, it actually broke through to become a Nine Revolution Gu Monarch and turned into a Golden Toad Gu!”
Ah Fei was overjoyed, “Congratulations, Master!”
The Three-Legged Golden Toad Gu!
That was a Gu insect that only appeared in legends!
Lu Xia shook his head, his expression becoming somewhat sorrowful, “It’s a pity, the more I cultivate, the more I realize how powerful that person is!”
Ah Fei also bowed his head silently.
He was no longer the thug leader from Xiangjiang, now a qualified Gu Master, naturally coming into contact with a lot of news about the cultivation world.
And he frequently visited martial arts forums when he had nothing else to do.
Therefore, he had also gained a comprehensive understanding of Xue An.
Just as his master said, the more he understood, the more he realized how powerful and terrifying that person was.
“Actually, I should thank him!” Lu Xia said, “If it wasn’t for him causing me serious injury in Xiangjiang, if I had truly obtained that Blood Pearl, even if I had broken through to the Ninth Revolution, I wouldn’t be as pure and strong as I am now!”
There are very few shortcuts in the path of cultivation.
If you take a shortcut through one difficulty, it means the road ahead will be even harder.
That’s why Lu Xia sighed like that.
“Master, will he come for revenge?” Ah Fei voiced his own concerns.
Lu Xia gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, “You still don’t understand the mentality of these powerful beings who stand at the peak above countless others! To them, we so-called strong ones are not much different from ants, it’s just that we’re the kind among ants with a bit more strength, that’s all!”
“Is that so…” Ah Fei’s expression was complicated, his thoughts seemingly in a whirl.
Lu Xia stood up and walked over to him, patting his shoulder in a comforting manner, “Ah Fei, not even one in a million people could compare to Xue An. Don’t belittle yourself. The most important thing is to follow your own path of cultivation!”
“Yes!”
The master and disciple exchanged a few more words before Ah Fei was about to leave with his bowl and chopsticks in hand.
Suddenly.
The ground of Insect Immortal Cave began to shake violently, and Ah Fei, unable to keep his balance, found himself sitting on the ground with a look of horror on his face.
“Master! What’s happening?”
Lu Xia’s face turned ashen as well.
Ah Fei’s cultivation level was shallow, and naturally, he could not detect anything unusual.
However, Lu Xia could feel that, in the depths of Insect Immortal Cave, there suddenly appeared many powerful presences.
Just as he was in a state of shock and confusion, he saw a golden torrent rushing towards them from deep within the cave.
As it got closer, Ah Fei realized in horror that it was not some golden torrent, but rather a swarm of red gold ants.
“It’s the Red Gold Ants!” Ah Fei exclaimed.
At this moment, Lu Xia’s expression was stern. With a stretch of his hand, the huge phantom of a Three-Legged Golden Toad appeared behind him and then he struck down with his palm.
Boom!
Many ants in the golden torrent were killed, creating a clearing, but it was quickly filled by other ants.
Ah Fei also deployed his Green Snake Gu, coordinating with his master to eliminate the swarm of Red Gold Ants.
Although the Red Gold Ants were numerous, they were not very powerful; after a few encounters, the master and disciple duo, Lu Xia and Ah Fei, had eradicated them all.
Ah Fei let out a sigh of relief and couldn’t help asking, “Master, why did so many Red Gold Ants suddenly appear?”
Lu Xia shook his head, his gaze flickering, “I do not know…”
Lu Xia was also full of doubts.
During his time in Insect Immortal Cave, he had felt that the spiritual energy here was thicker than before.
This was also the reason he was able to successfully make a breakthrough to Nine Revolution Gu Monarch.
Previously, he had been forced to travel far to Xiangjiang, attempting to breakthrough with the help of Blood Pearls.
But this time, he managed to breakthrough solely with the blessing of the holy land of Miao Immortal Valley.
Indeed, Lu Xia had his suspicions, but he did not think too deeply about them.
Now, with the sudden appearance of so many Red Gold Ants, Lu Xia’s doubts grew even heavier.
Could it be….
Lu Xia thought of a story told as legend by the elders in his childhood.
But that was just a legend, wasn’t it? How could it be real?
Meanwhile, a shaking far more intense than before struck them.
Even Lu Xia had to support himself against the cave walls to barely keep his balance.
And with this severe tremor, a deep roar was heard from within Insect Immortal Cave.
Then, countless black spiders could be seen swiftly attacking, and behind the swarm, there was a black Giant Spider as big as a car; and on the back of this Giant Spider, there was an extremely delicate female human face.
Lu Xia was finally struck with terror, “Beauty Spider!”
As if hearing his shout, the black Giant Spider was entwined in a mass of black mist, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a woman clad in black armors, her seductive figure and exquisite face adorned with a spider tattoo.
The woman stretched leisurely, revealing her devilish figure, and then giggled, “It has been so long since I last came to this world, I really miss it! Eh, little guy, are you the Gu Master of this generation? Tsk, tsk, you really are pitifully weak! Come on, let sister take good care of you!”
