Chapter 870: Living to Death(1/2)
Chapter 870 Living toward Death
Author: A wrestling panda
This is the 73rd day when Gu Shen is awake.
In the depths of the ice sea, there is no sun rise and the moon set, only tides surging, and endless darkness swallows up this narrow stone wall of immortality. Perhaps because in the end, countless beast spirits of the Sangzhou Cave went on their way to the volcano, this array pattern absorbed a lot of life force and became extremely strong, not only withstood the volcano eruption, but also withstand the corrosion of deep ocean currents...
But this cannot change Gu Shen's predicament.
Time loses its meaning here.
But Gu Shen did not give up, and he started to count the time from the day he was awake.
He divided a ray of fire and put it into the Pure Land world, calculating the time flow every minute and every second.
If you really lose "time", then there is no difference between "living" and "dead".
"The cost of the three times of transcendence is too great."
Gu Shen came to his heart lake through meditation. His soul condensed into a villain, stood in front of the heart lake and looked out, taking a deep breath.
The scale of this spiritual sea is too large.
The spiritual sea of extraordinary people on the ninth level of the ordinary deep sea is probably only one-twentieth of that here!
Even among the ranks of fourth-level strong men, this spiritual sea is still a top-notch existence!
Three times of transcending the realm allowed Gu Shen to possess the top fourth-level mental power at the ninth level of the deep sea, but it became extremely difficult for him to continue to break through the realm...
The more you transcend the realm, the stronger you break the realm, the more difficult it is!
"If I don't kill the owl, I need to increase the fire first, and then turn the fire into the 'fire of vitality'..."
Gu Shen stood above the lake of heart and sighed softly: "Fortunately, there is blood and fire now, so he saved the first step."
The owl hid in Sangzhou Cave for many years and accumulated a large amount of family businesses in this stone wall of the immortality array pattern. He became the last yellow bird and swallowed all his blood and fire!
The soul villain sat cross-legged on the lake of heart.
Gu Shen's eyebrows ignited a fire of vitality on his own. This flame symbolizing "vigor" is constantly absorbing nutrients. A large amount of blood and fire is attracted around the soul, floating out, turning into blood-colored light and shadows, surging into Gu Shen's eyebrows... This is a necessary lesson for advancing to the fourth level, and there is no shortcut.
But in fact, swallowing blood and fire is already a shortcut.
Without these blood and fire, Gu Shen really didn't know that he would have to endure until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month to advance to the fourth level... because his number of fire is far from enough, and this first step may be stuck for a long time.
Now the cross-legged villain on the lake of my heart is constantly absorbing blood and fire.
You can also use both one mind and two things, and at the same time use the source material to feed back the fire in the Pure Land.
The spectator's mood ensures absolute efficiency.
Time just passes by little by little...
On the 294th day, the blood and fire were completely sucked away and turned into a "fire of vitality" belonging to Gu Shen. The field embryo can now cover a thin layer of Gu Shen's body surface, but it is still far from being released from the "field" of the fourth level. Because the heart lake has expanded, the field of the fire of vitality still needs more raw materials.
Gu Shen was prepared in his heart, and he began to transform the part of his own "fire".
In the deep sea, there are not no creatures.
During the 294 days of his dedication to his practice, he often saw some huge deep-sea fish passing around the wall of the immortal stone... Perhaps because the "Ancient Text Array Pattern" played a shielding role, these deep-sea fish did not find Gu Shen's existence, so they did not launch an attack.
They are really huge.
Some fish have their eyes, just their eyes, are huge than the entire array pattern!
They swam past, and the waves twitched from their tails kept pushing Gu Shen and drifting towards the unknown distance.
Gu Shen was powerless to resist, and too lazy to resist.
Anyway, he had lost his way and did not rely on the source quality in the ice sea to survive.
So it doesn't matter where you float in the depths of this ice sea...
During this period, he also discovered that the source of ancient times remained in the ice sea, and this place was not completely extinct as imagined by the Five Continents.
The reason why these fish survived was because their ethnic genes had changed... Although there was no direct contact, with Gu Shen's intuitive sense, those extremely huge fish should have completed extraordinary awakening, and several of them even brought a strong sense of oppression to Gu Shen!
Their strength is likely to be no less than those of the strong men standing above the pyramid among the human race!
"These deep-sea fish should rely on the unique source substances in the depths of the ice sea to maintain their lives... so they will never be able to swim to the offshore areas."
"But the existence of extraordinary life in this kind of place means that there are other 'ethnic groups' living in the deepest part of the ice sea?"
For the past six hundred years, mankind has been heading north.
Because the north was the home of the past.
However, the southern ice sea is rarely explored...
The living environment of the Ice Sea is even worse than the [Old World] and is too huge. Once a powerful extraordinary team went south to sea, and went deeper, and finally returned empty-handedly, which made everyone dispel the desire to explore the Ice Sea. After all, every time you go north to [Old World], you can find something more or less.
Patch together unknown maps, dig out ancient seals, and find lost ancient Chinese texts.
These are all things that can be brought about by exploring the North [Old World].
And the ice sea.
It's too big and too cold. If you go out to sea, you will often bring nothing back.
Going to sea without gains means nothing.
So fewer and fewer people stepping into the ice sea.
"Wait... I just kept floating with the ocean currents, and I wouldn't be sent to the legendary [Ice Sea Ruins], right?"
This thought flashed through Gu Shen's mind.
He immediately shook his head and laughed at himself.
"What are you thinking, the probability is too small..."
If we talk about what gains have been gained by humans in exploring the ice sea for so many years... Perhaps the only gain is the so-called [Ice Sea Relics].
This matter has been fermenting for a long time. At first, the apostles went south together and found that they could not handle the ruins. Then the Storm God went to sea in person. However, it may be because it was too far away that there has been no news about the Storm God God until now.
"The ice sea is so big, the remains are just a small dot..."
Gu Shen smiled faintly and looked at the stone wall that was floating rapidly in the ocean currents, "And even if there is really 'precise guidance', how long will it take to float there, ten years? One hundred years?"
This stone wall floats slowly in the ocean currents.
Stop and go.
When you encounter some obstacles, you won’t even move and can get stuck for several days.
"I'd better not think too much, hurry up and practice..."
Gu Shen looked up at the vast deep sea. Every time his mental power made some breakthroughs, he would try to extend to the outside world.
It is most important to first test your position.
only……
At present, his mental strength is not enough and he cannot see the world above sea level.
...
...
Time flies like a horse, and it passes in a flash.
Day 730.
This is the second year when Gu Shen is awake.
His fire reserves were finally converted, but there was still a gap between being promoted to the fourth level... Next is the final "battle". He needs to produce more fire by himself to transform the fire of vitality. The progress bar for the fourth level has been completed by about 70%.
The last 30% is the most time-consuming step.
During these days of retreat and practice, his concentration has once again made a breakthrough and his use of the spirit has also reached a higher level.
Due to the extreme silence in the deep sea, he upgraded from the first one-minded and two-minded use to "one-minded and three-minded use".
One mind transforms three, one ray of spirit practices in the Pure Land, and one ray of spirit transforms the fire of vitality in the Heart Lake.
The last strand is to live in the pure land and hang under the tree, quietly comprehend the pattern of immortality.
No one can endure the extremely ethereal and extremely quiet environment under the deep sea.
Even those extraordinary lives who have reached the advanced level of cultivation are difficult to bear.
This is really a cruel torture...
Every time the Beizhou Investigation Legion leaves the fortress, no matter whether it is a long journey or not, it will perform tasks in the form of a small team. On the one hand, there are many people to take care of each other, and on the other hand, there are many people to be lively. In an environment where birds do not shit, it is good to listen to a little sound even if you hear it.
The "retreat" state of normal extraordinary people can be solved at any time.
In a seclusion room, if there is mental problem, you can leave the seclusion at any time.
But the deep sea is different -
Because he has been in a state of "noncer" for a long time in the real world, Gu Shen's spirit has become a little disordered. If someone else has changed to someone else, the deep-sea retreat in the past two years may have gone crazy.
The reason why Gu Shen is not crazy is that he has "Pure Land".
To be continued...
