Although the Weapon Refinement Technique allowed Gu Fei to possess an abnormally strong body that could withstand the Biyun Peak's treasure, the Golden Moon Wheel, for a short period of time, this state of spreading a certain characteristic of the Divine Weapon into his body could not be maintained for long.
Moreover, the strange essence of the magic weapon had not completely dissolved in the body's qi and blood. If he desperately stimulated the power of the magic weapon, his body would inevitably not be able to bear it.
Gu Fei was now suffering from the side effects of overexerting the magical power of [Weapon Refining Body]. Every inch of his body felt as if it was being pricked by sharp needles. Just sitting under the tree for a while, his tattered clothes were soaked with sweat.
And the sweat, with a bloody smell, dyed the tattered clothes on his body dark black. It was the clotted blood that was forced out of the body.
All of Gu Fei's flesh and bones trembled slightly. His body vaguely emitted the rumbling sound of heavenly drums. The vigorous Qi and blood in his body washed through his body, and the pain of being pricked by thousands of needles gradually subsided.
The body refining technique and martial arts cultivation method made Gu Fei's body strong enough to be comparable to ordinary magic weapons of cultivators, and his recovery ability was also amazing. Waves of qi and blood containing the original essence of the five elements washed through his body, and the wounds in his flesh and blood were healing rapidly.
"Well! The path of martial arts is a path of the strong derived from fighting. Progress in life and death battles, and move forward by stepping on the corpses of the opponents. " Gu Fei felt that after the fierce battle with Dongfang Chen, his strength seemed to have made some progress. Life and death battles were conducive to the breakthrough of his cultivation base.
This was Gu Fei's realization after the battle. It seemed that the predecessors had taken the wrong path. His master, Wan Xian Cheng, did not easily step out of the Green Spirit Peak. He always immersed himself in cultivation in the mountains. Little did he know that this ancient body refining technique was a killing technique created for battle. A strong body corresponded to unparalleled combat power.
There was a limit to progress by immersing oneself in cultivation. Life and death battles were a shortcut. To comprehend in battle and sublimate in battle was a completely different path from the quiet and inaction of Dao techniques.
Cultivators focused on meditation, moving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nourishing the primordial spirit body, and condensing magical power. But the path of martial arts focused on movement, refining the tendons, bones, flesh, and blood of the whole body, and producing the original power from the qi and blood.
Therefore, too much meditation would restrict the breakthrough of one's cultivation base. The Green Spirit Peak had not produced a Transcending Mortality Realm martial artist for hundreds of years, and perhaps this was the reason.
When one encountered a bottleneck in one's cultivation, they would enter into seclusion. This was a habitual thought process of cultivators, and it wasn't suitable for cultivators. For cultivators, rather than sitting in meditation all day, it was better to leave their seclusion grounds and challenge other cultivators. While fighting with others, they would be able to comprehend the true essence of the Martial Dao.
Gu Fei seemed to see a glimmer of light in the fog. He seemed to have comprehended a brand-new path of cultivation, a path of cultivation that belonged to a martial artist, and that was — battle!
Gu Fei was unmoved by everything that was happening outside. On the nine arenas on the square, the disciples participating in the competition were still moving up and down. The duels of Dao techniques would erupt from time to time, and there would be flashes of bright light and loud booms that shook the mountains.
The remaining battles were far less intense than the battle between Gu Fei and Dongfang Chen, but they still attracted the attention of the thousands of disciples on the square.
This time's Nine Peaks Trials was different from the previous ones. The top ten disciples would not only receive rewards, but also a chance to enter the Ruin Sky Realm.
The Ruin Sky Realm was a blessed land for the Three Great Daoist Sects, but it was also a dangerous place. For those who entered, it was also an opportunity.
In this world, there was nothing that could be obtained without effort. In the midst of danger, there were opportunities that could change one's fate. If one could grasp this fleeting opportunity, they would be able to rise rapidly. If they could not, their lives would be in danger.
Li Lingfeng, the eldest disciple of the Taixuan Peak, and his junior disciple, Ziyu, easily defeated their respective opponents and advanced to the second round of the trials with two wins.
As for Zhao Xueqi of the Purple Bamboo Peak, she encountered Song Ruochen, an outstanding disciple of the Tongtian Peak, in the second round of the trials. Song Ruochen's cultivation was at the peak of the Seventh Heaven. Even though Zhao Zirou had the Black Tortoise Seal, the treasure of the Purple Bamboo Peak, it was still difficult for her to contend against Song Ruochen and she was defeated.
However, with one win and one loss, Zhao Zirou was able to advance to the second round of the trials. In fact, the main reason for Zhao Zirou's defeat was because she had used up a great deal of her magic power to activate the Black Tortoise Seal in the morning. Even after resting for four hours, she was still unable to fully recover, which gave Song Ruochen an opportunity to take advantage of.
When night fell, all the trials were over. The Profound Magic Daoist expressionlessly walked out and announced that the second round of the trials would begin the next day. Soon after, a list was posted. It was the name list of those who advanced to the second round of the trials.
When the Profound Magic Daoist announced the end of the trials for the day, Gu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged under a tree at the side of the square, opened his eyes. With a thought, the golden light on his body flickered and disappeared. Then, the tattered, dark black clothes on his upper body were torn to shreds and fell to the ground, revealing his bronze-colored, robust body.
Gu Fei's shirt was in tatters, and he was only wearing a pair of trousers that were also tattered and full of holes. However, the trousers on the important parts of his body were still relatively intact, so he would definitely not be exposed.
Gu Fei stood up and immediately heard light footsteps coming from the side. He turned his head and saw a girl in a white dress walking over gracefully. In the night, she seemed to be stepping on a cloud as she floated over.
Her beautiful appearance, long hair that burst out like a burst, and her muscles that were as cold as ice, as if she was a fairy that had descended from the heavens to the mortal world.
"Junior Sister Zhao?" Gu Fei was startled. His eyes looked at the girl's face and some kind of emotion seemed to rise in his heart. This was a strange feeling that he had never felt before. This feeling made Gu Fei's heart beat faster and his blood flow faster.
Zhao Zirou was as light as a swallow as she arrived in front of Gu Fei. "Congratulations to Senior Brother Gu for showing your strength and defeating Dongfang Chen. Haha! It's really unexpected! "
The shock caused by Gu Fei defeating Dongfang Chen was unparalleled among the younger generation of disciples. The disciples of the Green Spirit Peak gave people the impression that their cultivation was low, but their skin was thick and they could take a beating. But today, the combat power that Gu Fei had displayed was shocking. Pure martial skills were very terrifying.
Even the disciples of the older generation were amazed. Wan Xiancheng, the disciple of the previous generation of the Green Spirit Peak, who had passed away, usually stayed in his cave in the Green Spirit Peak and would not easily show his combat skills in front of others.
Therefore, even the disciples of the generation of Wan Xiancheng, very few people knew how powerful the combat skills of the Green Spirit Peak were. And Gu Fei's performance today undoubtedly shocked them and also gave birth to some uneasiness. They were afraid that in the future, the Supreme Mystery Sect would no longer be peaceful.
"Humph! If Dongfang Chen didn't have the Golden Moon Wheel of the Biyun Peak, he would have lost even more miserably. "Gu Fei said with some disdain. Defeating Dongfang Chen was actually not a great thing.
The disciples of the Green Spirit Peak were originally stronger than the disciples of the other eight branches of the same realm. Even if they faced a disciple whose cultivation was one layer higher than them, they could still compete with them.
Moreover, this situation was not so obvious in the realms below the fifth layer. After surpassing the fifth layer, the advantage of a martial artist would appear among other cultivators of the same realm.
Gu Fei's master, Wan Xiancheng, who had passed away, had once used the cultivation of the ninth layer to force back a cultivator of the Transcending Mortality Stage.
And now, Gu Fei had cultivated the magical ability of transforming his body into a weapon. His combat power would be even more amazing, and it was no longer impossible for him to challenge someone of a higher level.
"Senior Brother Gu, you must not be careless. With Dongfang Chen's cultivation, he could only display ten to twenty percent of the power of the Golden Moon Wheel." Zhao Zirou said.
The Golden Moon Wheel, being able to become a treasure of the Biyun Peak, its power was certainly not limited to this. However, with Dongfang Chen's cultivation, being able to drive the Golden Moon Wheel to display the Dao technique of the Moon Shadow Division was already the limit of what he could bear.
"En!" Gu Fei nodded. He knew that if he hadn't cultivated the magical ability of transforming his body into a weapon and smelted the short stick that seemed to be a sword hilt passed down by his master into his body, the outcome of today's battle with Dongfang Chen would have been rewritten.
The sharpness of the metal element magic treasure, the Golden Moon Wheel, was definitely not inferior to the sharpness of a divine weapon. It was not surprising that the circle of sharp blades could cut hair, cut stone and split gold.
Ordinary swords, ordinary magic treasures, Gu Fei could directly resist them with his body, but he would never be able to withstand the slash of the Golden Moon Wheel. With the power of the Golden Moon Wheel, even a real person made of iron would be split in half.
Unless Gu Fei could cultivate this ancient body refining technique to the Great Accomplishment Realm, his body would be able to ignore the attacks of any divine weapon or magic treasure.
"Senior Brother Gu, let's go take a look at the list posted!" Zhao Zirou said.
"Alright!" Gu Fei's words were very direct and very straightforward. He seemed to never be sloppy. He always maintained his original heart and did what he wanted to do.
When Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou walked towards the steps in front of the square, a pair of vicious and fierce eyes were staring at the two of them under the tree opposite the square.
"Gu Fei …" Under the tree, the man's face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and these two weak and almost inaudible sounds came out of his mouth.
At this time, a white-robed disciple walked towards the man who was full of resentment towards Gu Fei. "Junior Brother Wang, so you are here. Eldest Senior Brother invites you to come over."
"Hmm? Why does Li Lingfeng want to find me? " The man frowned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then said to the white-robed disciple, "Please lead the way, Senior Brother."
In the Supreme Profound Sect, the only person who had enmity with Gu Fei was Wang Yuanzhi, and the person who wanted nothing more than to cut Gu Fei into eight pieces was Wang Yuanzhi.
The white-robed disciple was a member of the Sect Leader's faction, so Wang Yuanzhi did not dare to be negligent. He immediately changed his expression and followed behind the white-robed disciple, heading towards the back peak of the Supreme Profound Peak.
Wang Yuanzhi originally wanted to use Dongfang Chen's hand to humiliate Gu Fei, but unfortunately, Dongfang Chen was not a match for Gu Fei, and was instead humiliated by Gu Fei. After this battle, Dongfang Chen had no face left, and even the disciples of the Biyun Peak felt ashamed.
In this way, the new hatred and old hatred added together, causing Wang Yuanzhi to want to go crazy. He hated Gu Fei to the point that his teeth itched, but he could not do anything to Gu Fei. This kind of feeling of not being able to vent his anger almost made Wang Yuanzhi, a narrow-minded disciple of an aristocratic family, go crazy.
However, so what? The demons could only blame themselves for not being strong enough. They could only break their teeth and swallow the blood into their stomachs.
At this time, the people in the square had gradually dispersed. Those who had advanced to the second round of the competition tomorrow had already returned to their respective cultivation grounds to recuperate their Qi and restore their mana and physical strength in preparation for tomorrow's competition.
As for those who had been eliminated, they sighed dejectedly. On the contrary, they were still discussing today's competition with others, looking at the list that had been posted, or simply walking to the side in a daze.
