NOVEL NEXT Chapter 375: Shocking Lin Qingyu
In the grotto, Gu Sheng was unaware of the commotion he had caused outside. He was fully focused on breaking through the barrier of the Life Spring Realm. Each attempt caused his body to tremble violently, yet he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"I must succeed!"
Gu Sheng roared in his heart, knowing that he could not afford to fail. This breakthrough was of great significance to him, not only for the advancement of his cultivation but also as a crucial step towards reaching a higher realm.
Finally, after countless attempts, Gu Sheng felt as if he had broken through some kind of shackle, and his entire being felt lighter. He opened his eyes and found his vision had become broader, his perception sharper.
"I did it!"
Gu Sheng shouted excitedly, knowing he had successfully broken through to the Life Spring Realm. At this moment, he felt reborn, his entire body filled with boundless strength.
As Gu Sheng succeeded in his breakthrough, the mystical phenomena outside the grotto also gradually dissipated. However, the cultivators observing from afar remained immersed in shock, unable to extricate themselves. They knew that everything they had witnessed today would become a legendary tale.
When Gu Sheng stepped out of the grotto, he felt the air outside had become much fresher. He knew his cultivation had reached an entirely different level, and although the path ahead was long, he was confident he could walk it to become a true powerhouse!
"Next, it's time to retrieve my 'Source'," Gu Sheng thought to himself, and with a flash, he disappeared from where he stood.
On the way to Ziyang Grotto Heaven, Gu Sheng happened upon Lin Qingyu and others. When they saw Gu Sheng, they all looked surprised because they could feel the powerful aura emanating from him.
"Brother Gu! You...you've broken through?" Lin Qingyu asked in astonishment.
"Just a lucky breakthrough." Gu Sheng replied with a faint smile, "Where are you headed?"
"We're about to explore an ancient relic, interested in joining us, Brother Gu?" Lin Qingyu invited.
Gu Sheng shook his head and said, "I have some private matters to attend to, so I won't be joining you. Best of luck!"
With that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Qingyu and the others in a daze. They knew Gu Sheng was no longer the same as before; he had become a true cultivator!
A day later, Gu Sheng arrived at a mountain peak, standing on the cliff's edge, feeling the power of the new realm. He took a deep breath, "So this is the power of the Life Spring Realm?" he whispered to himself, with eyes shining like stars.
His vision was now incredibly vast, as if he could overlook the entire world. Mountains, lands, rivers, everything was in view, this feeling made his heart feel unrestrained, as if the whole world was within his grasp.
At this moment, Gu Sheng's flesh and blood were spotless, his entire body translucent like jade, glowing with a faint luster.
He deeply understood that the difference between realms was like a chasm, but now his physical shell was flawless, nearly perfect.
Inside him surged an inexhaustible, immense power, as if with a mere lift of his hand, he could obliterate cultivators in the Bitter Sea Realm.
"Hahaha!" Gu Sheng streaked through the sky, a gleaming rainbow cutting through the air, his laughter resonating between heaven and earth, "I, Gu Sheng, have finally stepped into this realm!"
An hour later, Gu Sheng finally calmed down completely.
He stood atop the mountain, letting the Qing Feng brush against his cheeks, his eyes shining brilliantly, like two resplendent stars.
He felt the power within him, his heart filled with grand ambition.
The golden Bitter Sea had completely calmed down, the spring at the center still gushing, as if voicing something.
The wheel of life had been fully communicated, endless life energy gushed out like spring water, which is the fundamental source of a cultivator's strength.
The "cauldron" Gu Sheng was forging now only had a vague outline, but he wasn't in a hurry.
He knew that the Daoist Scripture clearly recorded that the more profound and complex the "artifact," the harder it was to shape, for they contained the "Dao" and "Principles" of heaven and earth.
And what he was pursuing was a powerful "artifact" that could break all laws with one strike.
Gu Sheng also knew this path wasn't easy to tread.
Throughout history, the vast majority of cultivators who attempted to forge an "artifact" with the Four Realms failed.
Without one's own "artifact," one could not control objects, equating to being no different from a useless person.
Yet Gu Sheng resolutely chose this path, believing he would surely succeed.
"It's time to consider taking a trip to the desolate ancient forbidden land." Gu Sheng thought to himself, but he didn't rush to set out; instead, he opted to stay and consolidate his realm.
He knew that after a breakthrough in cultivation, a period of adjustment was necessary.
In the following time, Gu Sheng dug his grotto into a complete mess.
To obtain the spiritual energy from the Fire Evil, he dug deep into the earth, almost causing the Fire Vein to erupt.
All of this was worthwhile, after nearly a year of cultivation, his realm was completely stabilized and had significantly increased.
"Finally succeeded!" When Gu Sheng saw the rough embryo of the three-legged round cauldron successfully forged, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.
This cauldron, though still just a rough form, already exuded a powerful aura, as if it could suppress everything.
Gu Sheng knew this cauldron had a lot of potential for improvement, but he was already impatient to test its power.
So he activated his cultivation technique, golden palms and fists continuously bursting forth, resonating with the cauldron, as if to destroy the entire world.
