Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C122 Hun Tian Zhu
She frowned as she walked. Gu Lee was really this powerful?
She understood, that for Gu Lee’s strength to be spread from mouth to mouth, she must be extremely powerful.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw a familiar figure, Gu Qing’s eyebrows jumped. A person wearing a green daoist robe walked over from in front of him. Gu Qing immediately turned her head and averted her gaze.
His heart was in a mess. Why was Qing He here?
The reason why she entered the Xuanhua Sect was because the Qing Hee Immortal was hunting her down. Now, with great difficulty, she finally had the chance to enter the Ancient Ruins to completely avoid these dangers. The person who was leading Huaqing Palace was none other than Yun Tian. Qing He wasn’t one of the team leaders, so why was he here now?
Thinking this way, she didn’t wait for Qing He to get close. She immediately turned and walked into a shop. She pretended to be picking on the shelves, but her eyes glanced out the door. Her heart sank when she saw Qing He’s figure walking past the door.
Perhaps, it wasn’t as she had thought. Qing He’s appearance here was just a coincidence.
Gu Qing coincidentally had a competition today, the opponent was a Middle Period of Foundation Stage cultivator from a small sect. Even so, Gu Qing had already made sufficient preparations, temporarily putting Qing He at the back of her mind, and headed towards the competition grounds.
The competition arena was set outside the Ancient Ruins, and when she arrived, there were still many people competing, but there weren’t many spectating, since all of them had a competition, and all of them were seizing the time to raise their cultivation.
Gu Qing had just arrived and her opponent had also arrived. A burly, bearded man with a ferocious look asked her directly: “Are you Zi Jin from Xuanhua Sect?”
“That’s right.”
Gu Qing responded as she pulled out a pair of blade blades from her hands and rushed forward.
Gu Qing’s gaze turned cold as she quickly retreated. At the same time, she also waved her “Luoshen’s Whip”, causing the shadows of the whips to densely gather into a net, covering the horned mustached man.
The big bearded man snorted, he waved both of his hands at the same time and fiercely slashed in Gu Qing’s direction.
Gu Qing had also made her preparations for the next move. In the instant that the opponent swung the whip, all of the whip images congealed, and with an explosive force, he swung at the big sized man.
An unexpected situation had occurred.
Ah!
The large man let out a miserable cry and immediately fell to the ground, heavily injured.
Gu Qing was startled, but she quickly calmed herself down and retreated a step: “You lost!”
Gu Qing really did not think that the horned mustached man would only use two “Luoshen’s Whip” to seriously injure him. She didn’t really understand the strength of the other small sects. All she saw were the Huaqing Palace and Xuanhua Sect of the big sects, their strength was already stronger than the smaller sects in the first place, and Gu Qing’s Luoshen’s Whip was also stronger than normal techniques.
If she could increase her strength to the Later Period of Foundation Stage during this period of time, not to mention being 100% sure, she would at least have 90% chance of entering the Ancient Ruins successfully.
In order to make the best use of her time to cultivate, Gu Qing returned to the Xuanhua Sect encampment after the competition, and immediately went into closed door cultivation, this time taking a risk to create a few spiritual liquid and prepare to charge into the Later Period of Foundation Stage.
When night fell, she quietly drank a small bottle, the spiritual liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach, instantly transforming into surging spirit energy that rushed into her limbs and bones. Gu Qing calmed her mind and concentrated on guiding the spirit qi to rush to the Later Period of Foundation Stage mountain pass.
For the entire day and night, she was always drenched in sweat, and although she clearly felt a bit of relief, the Later Period of Foundation Stage’s great door was never opened.
The sun had just risen, Gu Qing did not dare to continue creating spiritual liquid s to charge at her, so she calmed the restless spiritual energy in her body and started to study the round balls she had bought from the stalls.
Originally, she had not thought much of it, but Gu Lee had also liked it, hence he told her to pay more attention to it.
She raised the sphere to her eyes and examined it closely. There were some dark gray patches on the white sphere. It really didn’t look good.
Just what was this thing?
She tried to probe a strand of spiritual energy into the ball, but just as she touched the ball, the strand of spiritual energy was completely devoured.
This thing could even swallow spiritual energy?
She immediately separated a bit more spiritual energy and continued probing into the ball. Indeed, just like the previous time, the spiritual energy disappeared without a trace as soon as it came into contact with the round ball.
A thought suddenly appeared in her mind. She wanted to see what kind of reaction this round ball would have after it devoured enough spiritual energy. Thus, she did not keep any more, and transferred all of the spirit energy in her body that was several times more than that of a normal Middle Period of Foundation Stage cultivator out and poured it into the ball.
The ball’s devouring power suddenly increased, and Gu Qing could even feel the ball emit a kind of feeling of satisfaction similar to a human’s.
At this moment, it was impossible for Gu Qing to retract her hand even if she wanted to. The spirit energy in her body was sucked into the ball unceasingly, and the grayish-black spots on the ball were also dissipating rapidly.
When there was not a single bit of spirit energy left in Gu Qing’s body, the ball finally stopped its devouring and quietly floated in the air.
Gu Qing was a little weak as she swallowed a medicinal pellet for recovering spirit energy.
After walking around, Gu Qing still did not find anything abnormal. Logically speaking, this should be a pretty good Spiritual Treasure.
Is there not enough spiritual energy?
She looked at the last of the blackish patches and frowned.
His own spirit energy was already considered rich enough, almost comparable to the spirit energy in his Initial Period of Golden Core Stage, but he was still unable to trigger the ball. Shock flashed through her eyes. Could it be that this thing could only be activated with Golden Core Stage above?
She stared at the ball for a long time, knowing clearly that this thing was not ordinary. Otherwise, Gu Lee would not fight over it with her.
But since it was extraordinary, did the stall owner not know of it?
After the spirit energy in her body was quickly recovered, Gu Qing immediately channeled spirit energy into it again. Finally, the grayish-black patches on the ball completely disappeared.
At that moment, a tiny light flashed into her mind.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing found out the origin and the method to control the ball.
So this ball was from an Ancient Spiritual Treasure, Gu Qing guessed that it must have come out from a Ancient Ruins. Because there were so many requirements for the practitioner, she had never been able to find a suitable owner.
First, he had to obtain the Pure Yin Body, the Pure Yang Body, and one of the three Pure Spirit Body’s physiques. Furthermore, it had a spiritual energy that was several times stronger than an ordinary cultivator.
Gu Qing was flabbergasted, she never thought that there would be so many requests to be the owner of this Spiritual Treasure. One of the three great bodies was hard to find, not to mention the last two conditions. Even if it was one of the three great bodies, it might not have several times more spiritual energy than a normal person.
Therefore, Gu Qing meeting it was truly fate. She did not understand the reason why even though she was not one of the three great physiques, she was able to get the approval of the ball. Could it be that the ball was deceived by her identity as a Pseudo-spirit Body like the other cultivators?
Thinking about it, it was possible. After all, the spiritual liquid was a heaven defying being capable of changing the mortal body to use its spirit energy to create its own body.
No matter what, the ball had already reached a consensus with it. As long as it could learn how to use it, it would recognize itself as its master.
Gu Qing continued to read until she saw the effects of the ball.
The round ball was called the Hun Tian Bead, and it had the ability to devour everything. The higher the cultivation of the owner, the more terrifying the thing that the Hun Tian Bead could devour. It could not only devour spiritual energy, demonic energy, demonic energy, but also high-grade demonic energy. It could even devour a whole world!
Gu Qing’s heart skipped a beat and the Hun Tian Bead in her hands almost rolled out. She immediately grabbed onto it, subconsciously wanting to hide it.
But then, her eyes flashed. This thing needed to recognize her as its master as soon as possible.
Her next match was six days later, so she still had six days to cultivate. She seemed to have no hesitation, abandoning the idea of trying to break through Later Period of Foundation Stage and focused on researching the Hun Tian Bead.
At the same time, inside the Fallen Immortal Mountain encampment, a female cultivator arrived outside Gu Lee’s cave.
All the sects would choose their positions in the mountain ranges outside of the Wasteland and use their own caves. Gu Qing naturally had his own cave dwelling as well and Gu Lee was also cultivating inside it at the same time.
Hearing that, she raised her head. “Come in.”
A female cultivator walked in quickly and said to Gu Lee: “Senior sister, I found out about the things you told me to investigate.”
“Oh? Who is her opponent? ”
“It’s Chilian Zi from Iron Fist Sect.” The female cultivator lowered her head and replied.
Gu Lee’s eyes immediately lit up, “Since it’s him, then I am relieved.”
Chilian Zi was also an extremely famous cultivator in the younger generation, not in the least inferior to Shen Chang. Originally, Gu Lee wanted to teach the female cultivator with Xuanhua Sect a lesson first, but she didn’t need to do so now. This was because Chilian Zi was famous for being ruthless and merciless, even if his opponent didn’t die, he would still be crippled.
Gu Lee waved her hand, and the female cultivator retreated herself.
Gu Lee frowned. Ever since the ball was bought by the female cultivator from Xuanhua Sect, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, as if something that belonged to her was stolen.
Just like Gu Qing, she felt a resonance with the ball the moment she saw it, but when she walked over and saw the ugly ball, she thought it was her misconception and left.
However, after she returned, not only did the reaction not weaken, but instead it became more intense. When she went back, she saw that the round ball was in the hands of another female cultivator, and at that time, a thought that she would regret greatly appeared in her heart.
Just what was that thing?
Humans were like this. They disdained taking what was placed in front of them. They would wait for others to take it, but they felt that everything was good. They had to snatch it back.
Her, Gu Lee’s, personality was especially outstanding in this aspect.
Therefore, she had already made up her mind. Even if it was just an ordinary round ball, she would have to retrieve it and confirm it herself.
