The Second Star Mark
In the main hall of the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion, Gu Xuan stood upright with the bone spear in his hand as if he was frozen. Suddenly, Gu Xuan moved the bone spear and cast three layers of seals at the same time.
"This God Slaying Bone Spear is truly extraordinary. It doesn't purely increase one's strength, it uses martial arts to increase one's strength. The person who created this God Slaying Bone Spear most probably isn't an ordinary immortal emperor."
Gu Xuan sighed in his heart. Ordinary Spirit Treasures were nothing more than a formation that was integrated into the treasure by experts, allowing weaker martial artists to use the treasure to increase their power by several times or even dozens of times.
However, the increase in power had nothing to do with martial arts. It could be said that it was brute force that was increased through the use of a Spirit Treasure.
The reason why Gu Xuan's Heaven Ripping Hand could be combined with his right hand was not because of martial arts, but because Gu Xuan used the Divine Weapon Scripture to refine his right hand.
However, this bone spear was strange. Using this bone spear, the increase in power was only a part of it. In this aspect, it was equivalent to a Middle-grade Mortal Rank Spirit Treasure. However, the seven layers of seals were the most important. After studying these seven layers, one could increase one's' martial arts'.
For example, Gu Xuan's martial arts had barely reached the level of Earth Rank First Level. However, if he grasped the sixth layer of seals, he would be able to display the power of a Heaven Rank Martial Art. If Gu Xuan grasped the seventh layer of seals, using the bone spear would be equivalent to using a Heaven Rank Martial Art!
"I have only grasped the first three layers of seals, which are of little help to me. My martial arts are still too strong. I need to at least reach the fifth layer to display its true power."
Gu Xuan thought in his heart. The fourth layer of seals of the God Slaying Bone Spear was called 'Light Shadow'. When used, shadows would become chaotic. As for the fifth layer of seals, it was called 'Aurora'. This layer was no small matter. It compressed all the strength in one's body into the size of a speck of dust. When this speck of aurora was gathered to the extreme, it could penetrate everything!
Gu Xuan used the bone spear and constantly changed. From the first layer to the third layer of seals, there was no pause. Gu Xuan could feel that the reason why he could break through the seals so quickly was mainly because of the Star Mark on his chest.
As long as the second Star Mark was completely condensed, it would be considered complete!
Gu Xuan kept brandishing the bone spear, squeezing out the potential of his martial arts. He performed it again and again, surpassing his limits. Ordinary people would reach the edge of collapse after trying it a few times, unable to bear it.
However, Gu Xuan persisted for half a day, still gritting his teeth and persevering.
Every time he broke through a limit, it would become the next limit, and he would have to break through again. This was simply unimaginable to ordinary people.
However, Gu Xuan needed to become stronger now. His cultivation speed might be good compared to ordinary people, but it was still far behind a genius like Gu Xingyun. If he could not even surpass Gu Xingyun in cultivation speed, how could he kill him?
According to Ji Shenhai, it was very likely that Gu Xingyun was already in the Origin World. In that kind of place, Saint Realm martial artists were as numerous as carps crossing a river. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and cultivation resources were far from what the Burning Sky Continent could compare with. Cultivating in that place for a year was equivalent to cultivating in the Burning Sky Continent for three years!
Moreover, it was less than a year since the agreement between him and the Dao Sect. In such a short period of time, how difficult would it be to fight against a colossus like the Dao Sect?
"Damn it, if you can't refine me to death, I can be reborn!" Gu Xuan's eyes were filled with madness.
Pill Emperor Gu Xuan was so arrogant that no one in the world was worthy of being his opponent. The only one who could be his opponent was himself. If he could even defeat himself, others would just be ants!
Envoy Qing Feng stood by the side. When she saw Gu Xuan's cultivation method, she sighed in her heart. Gu Xuan had such high talent and perseverance. If he did not become a genius, it would be intolerable.
"Old master, it seems that the new master will surpass you by far. The Gu Mansion's bloodline will eventually prosper again!"
One day, two days, three days …
During these three days, he continued to break through his limits. Gu Xuan could no longer count how many times he had broken through. He might have broken through more than a thousand times.
His consciousness was already blurry. He only had one thought to support him, which made him repeat the movements of his hands continuously.
Fast! Fast! Even faster!
This was the only thought left in Gu Xuan's mind.
"Boom!"
Finally, after breaking through his limits countless times, Gu Xuan finally reached the standard for the second Astral Mark. His body gave off a strange roar.
The second fiery-red Astral Mark on Gu Xuan's chest finally lit up. The two marks reflected each other's radiance.
"Light Shadow!"
Gu Xuan shouted. The bone spear danced and turned into a beam of light as it shot out. It struck the wall of the hall, causing the entire hall to tremble.
When Envoy Qing Feng saw the restriction in the spear, she was pleasantly surprised, "Good! Good! Good! Gu Xuan, you managed to grasp the fourth layer of restriction in just three days. It seems that you might even be able to execute the seventh layer of restriction that Old Master longed for."
"Bang!"
When the Astral Mark condensed, Gu Xuan could no longer hold on. He sat down on the ground and quickly used the last of his strength to take out more than a thousand Flame Condensing Pills. Then, he swallowed them all at once. A warm energy flowed through his body. Gu Xuan's fatigue was swept away.
"Phew!"
After letting out a long breath, Gu Xuan's face revealed a smile. Although he was so tired that he almost fainted, it was worth it to have such an effect.
"Gu Xuan, here are 1,111 Flame Condensing Pills. Keep them well." Envoy Qing Feng waved her hand and a cloud of pills flew out.
"Okay!" Gu Xuan licked his lips and kept all the Flame Condensing Pills into his space ring.
With these pills, Gu Xuan could break through to the Two Star King Realm. With the God Killing Bone Spear in his hand, his strength would soar again.
"Senior Qing Feng, I need to go into seclusion to cultivate. After I come out, I will completely refine the Gu Mansion and leave this place." Gu Xuan said.
"You are leaving so soon?" Envoy Qing Feng was slightly stunned. There was some reluctance in her eyes. She had stayed in this place for thousands of years. She originally wanted to wait until Gu Xuan reached the Emperor Realm before leaving. However, Gu Xuan had already decided to leave.
"I still have many things to deal with. I cannot stay here for long." Gu Xuan nodded.
"Alright then." Qing Feng could only agree helplessly.
There was no possibility of being disturbed when cultivating in the entire Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. Gu Xuan randomly found a cultivation room and began to break through to the Two Star King Realm.
…
At this moment, there was quite a commotion in Tianyuan Pavilion. Yang Feng had also reported to Tianyuan Pavilion that Gu Xuan had killed five Tianyuan Pavilion disciples and teleported Gu Xuan away.
In the Tianyuan Pavilion's main pavilion, Yang Feng stood outside and waited with bated breath.
The pavilion master of Tianyuan Pavilion, the Wind Emperor, lived in the main pavilion. As a Two Star Emperor Realm cultivator, the Wind Emperor was a top expert in the four great sects. Yang Feng did not expect that he would be summoned by the Wind Emperor after reporting Gu Xuan's matter.
"Come in." A calm voice came from the main pavilion. Yang Feng sorted out his emotions and pushed the door open.
"Disciple Yang Feng greets the pavilion master!" Yang Feng lowered his head and said respectfully. He did not dare to raise his head to look at the Wind Emperor. However, from the corner of his eyes, he saw the man sitting on the main seat in front of him.
There seemed to be endless light on the Wind Emperor's body, making it impossible for him to see the Wind Emperor's appearance.
"Are you sure you didn't see wrongly? That Ying Tian Sect disciple entered the array and disappeared?" The Wind Emperor's dignified voice sounded.
"Yes, this disciple can guarantee it with his life!" Yang Feng said respectfully.
"En." The Wind Emperor responded and seemed to have sunk into deep thought.
Yang Feng held his breath, not daring to interrupt the Wind Emperor's thoughts.
"You must keep this matter a secret as much as possible. Don't mention it to anyone else. Also, go find the pavilion's Third Elder and tell him the appearance of that Ying Tian Sect disciple. It will be easier to determine who he is." The Wind Emperor said.
"Yes!"
"Go. After meeting the Third Elder, wait outside the teleportation array as usual." The Wind Emperor waved his hand. Yang Feng felt himself being bound by a strange energy and floated out of the main pavilion.
"The Pavilion Master's methods are truly unfathomable!" Yang Feng's heart was filled with shock. His eyes were filled with fanaticism as he moved.
The Pavilion Master told him to wait in place. That meant that he was waiting for that Ying Tian Sect disciple. If he could capture him and present him to the Pavilion Master, he would definitely be able to gain the Pavilion Master's appreciation.
"Ying Tian Sect brat, you were able to escape from my hands and even killed a pavilion disciple in front of me. This time, I will definitely capture you alive and wipe away my previous humiliation!" Yang Feng thought to himself.
He did not fear Gu Xuan's strength at all. He only thought that Gu Xuan was able to leave safely last time because of a coincidence.
…
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. In the Gu Residence, the door to a closed-door cultivation room opened by itself, and Gu Xuan walked out.
"Senior Qing Feng, come over." After walking out of the closed-door cultivation room, Gu Xuan called out. Envoy Qing Feng was the artifact spirit of the Ancient Flame Demon Residence. No matter where he was, he would be able to hear his voice.
Soon, a green figure floated over. When his gaze landed on Gu Xuan, he could not help being shocked. "Gu Xuan, you broke through to Two-Star King?"
"That's right." Gu Xuan nodded.
