ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 193 The Gu Spirit's Dream
After inspecting the altar, Shujiuqing found traces of a magic circle on the ground.

The altar had fallen into disrepair over time and had become a breeding ground for all kinds of microorganisms and weeds. It was already covered with a layer of dust, even the cracks in the stone bricks were covered underneath. She wanted to pick up some materials wherever she went, and the bricks of the altar looked quite handsome, so she squatted down and tried to scrape some off, only to discover the patterns of the magic circle underneath the dirt.

As soon as Du Xinghe's eyes arrived, a breeze swept away most of the dust on the ground, revealing its original appearance.

Under the entire altar is an extremely complicated magic array.

"What is this magic circle used for?" Shenshui asked curiously.

"This... is a bit too old. The spiritual script used back then is different from the current one. Moreover, the floor with the magic circle engraved on it is so cracked that it is difficult to recognize. I can only say..."

Shu Jiuqing took a step and walked to the other end of the blood pool. The magic circle there was relatively intact. She pointed her jade-like fingertips at a spiritual text and said, "This is used to stop time. It is usually used in the warehouse where materials are placed to keep them fresh. Master, you are an alchemist. You should have seen it in the medicine room."

"The magic of stopping time is actually used so commonly?"

Shenshui was shocked again.

Xinyue also glanced at her sideways.

Hearing this, Shu Jiuqing looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "It's not a very powerful spell. You can imagine time as a flowing river. The so-called stagnant time is to scoop up a handful of water from the river, rather than to stop it. It's convenient for storage, but if you want to use it in a battle between cultivators, you really need the power to cut off the river."

This knowledge is not secret.

Shu Jiuqing herself is a casual cultivator who is not affiliated with any sect, but she knows all the common sense about cultivating immortals, and her senior brothers and sisters acted as if they were hearing it for the first time.

Du Xinghe also understood her doubts, so he said simply: "He is a caveman."

"Then senior sister..."

"Your senior sister used to farm in the countryside."

It's all the truth, nothing is hidden.

Shu Jiuqing lowered his head silently, moved to the other side, and pointed at the spiritual text on another magic circle and said, "This means sacrifice, but I can't tell what it is."

After the ground was cleaned, everyone found that the blood pool was right in the center of the formation.

Du Xinghe groaned: "Then it seems that we have no choice but to use the simplest method and try them one by one."

When I first entered the secret realm of the Wu clan, I saw the Wu clan members donating blood to the blood pool and singing songs to praise the Gu spirit before they "invited" it out.

"Master!"

"Hmm? You say." Du Xinghe looked at Shenshui.

A flame appeared in the palm of Shenshui's hand. He said, "Since the person is trapped in this blood ice, why don't we try to melt it?"

"…I mean to try the most simple method, but you are being too simple."

There's no harm in trying. Du Xinghe nodded slightly and agreed to let him give it a try.

Shenshui jumped into the dried blood pool in two steps, placed his hands on the blood ice and circulated his spiritual power. The next moment, fireworks suddenly lit up, engulfing the entire piece of blood ice, and also illuminating the body of the Gu spirit in the blood ice with bright light.

The blood ice showed no signs of melting, but the Gu Spirit in the ice changed from sleeping peacefully to frowning in pain...

After five minutes of burning, Ginseng Shui was sweating all over, and then he withdrew his magical power and returned to his master in a listless manner:
"Master, my fire doesn't work."

After the raging fire subsided, the frown on the Gu spirit's face in the blood ice slowly relaxed.

Although he was clearly just a body without consciousness, Shu Jiuqing read the words "survived a disaster" from his changing expression.

After thinking for a moment, she suggested: "Master, how about I try to repair this formation? Then, change the part that stops time to make time flow again."

Du Xinghe: "You can give it a try."

With the master's permission, Shu Jiuqing began to repair the incomplete formation.

"You guys stay here, I'll go find Senior Chen."

After saying this, she left the altar.

……

In the darkness, Chen Bu Ran raised his hand: "There's no need to trap me here."

No one responded to him.

He was thrown into a different place from the other five people. The altar determined that he did not need to be tested, so he was detained in one place. He could leave at any time, but he could not affect the progress of the test.

He ran his fingers across his waist, and his Taoist robe was cut open, revealing a pale waist.

On the lower back, there is a huge spider tattoo, which is faintly glowing red.

He spread out his spiritual sense and saw Du Xinghe walking in the temple through his own life insect. She looked around hurriedly and called his name from time to time: "The ancestor is looking for me. Can you let me bring a message?"

Seeing that the will of the altar did not stop him, the spiders on the back of Du Xinghe's hand split into many and climbed onto the wall to form words -

Peace, don't look for it.

After conveying the message, Chen Bu Ran withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

He strolled leisurely in the darkness. The dim environment did not affect his vision. This was the original nest of the Gu spirit. There were still a large number of Gu shell corpses that had not been cleaned up and had been dried by the wind.

He escorted his ancestors to find the real witch clan altar. In addition to fulfilling his responsibilities, he also had an important thing to do.

Chen Bu Ran told her the truth.

I just didn’t say it all—

He had dreamed of this place, and the door in his dream could indeed not be opened.

However, "Gu Shen Jue" did not completely cut off his hope of achieving enlightenment through Gu cultivation. It told him that deep in the temple there were powerful Gu worms left behind by the Wu clan when they were hunted down. If he could absorb them, his realm would be able to reach a higher level.

Chen Bu Ran was in the Gu Ling's lair, looking for a ray of hope: "The power in our blood can connect heaven and earth. This magical power should not be lost to those monks who fight for their lives with the heavens."

If the Gu Shen Jue is destined to be inherited only by the witch...

The position of the great witch next to the witch should always be his.

……

At the same time, after seeing the words conveyed by the spider, Du Xinghe was speechless.

She was not worried about his safety, she just wanted to ask him what he thought about rescuing the Gu spirit.

Well, when we got to the altar, the person was gone.

Du Xinghe walked around the temple and found that there were different poisonous insects hidden in the caves on other floors. Shu Jiuqing was repairing the magic circle, and she had nothing to do, so she went in and beat them up one by one.

The scepter borrowed from Chen Bu Ran came in handy.

As long as you inject spiritual power into the scepter, you can blast out bloody light waves and cast spells remotely.

"interesting."

It was a rare opportunity to have new weapons, so Du Xinghe became playful and bursts of red light burst out from the cave.

Sword Spirit: “Hehe.”

Sword Spirit: "Can't you also kill enemies thousands of miles away with your sword energy? So love will disappear, right?"

"It's different. This scepter is easy to use."

Du Xinghe was surprised to find that he only needed to inject 50% of his spiritual power to exert 100% of its power.

Could this be the ability of Senior Chen’s natal insect?

What she didn't know was that Chen Bu Ran lent her his natal Gu worm to save his life, so it was naturally impossible for him to just lend her a spider. The spider contained the spiritual power he had accumulated over the past five years. There was a rare treasure, the Wind-Fixing Pearl, on the spider's back that could amplify its power. And because it was Chen Bu Ran's natal Gu worm, when using it, it could also draw spiritual power from him from a distance.

In a nutshell, she kills monsters and he pays the bill.

Du Xinghe has never cared about the source of power as long as he can use it, and he had a great time in different caves.

All the killed poisonous insects fell into Xiaopang's stomach.

When she had brushed nearly twenty caves, Xiaopang waved his front claws at her, indicating that he was full.

"Are you full?"

Du Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "But I don't think you are full."

She grabbed Xiaopang and stuffed a poison-removing pill into its mouth to speed up digestion.

At the same time, Chen Bu Ran, who was searching for the ancient poisonous insect, felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen.

He covered his waist and thought to himself——

Could it be that the ancestor encountered some difficulties that caused him to constantly consume his spiritual energy?
It almost sucked him dry!
……

A day and a night passed.

Considering that it would be useful later, Du Xinghe did not use up all the spiritual power in the scepter. Instead, he chose to return to the altar to meditate and refine the power absorbed from the poisonous insect.

The blood ice still showed no signs of melting, and the eyes of the Gu spirit trapped in the ice were tightly closed, without any disturbance from the outside.

Only Shu Jiuqing was kneeling on the ground, struggling to repair the magic circle.

She originally wanted to ask her senior brothers and sisters to help.

It was only after asking that I realized that the two of them had such a beautiful and smart appearance in vain. After the literacy campaign in the underground palace, they knew only a few more words than a five-year-old child, not to mention the spiritual writing that they had to study specifically.

As the only intellectual in the team, she had nothing to say to two illiterate people!

Xinyue was meditating and practicing beside her master, so Shenshui became the only one with nothing to do.

After a while, Du Xinghe heard his footsteps moving around the altar, and heard the sound of dripping water, so he said, "Shenshui, don't urinate anywhere, go out and solve it."

"...Master!"

With her eyes closed, she felt the ginseng water approaching rapidly.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the invisible gust of wind stopped him five steps away. He protested aggrievedly: "Master misunderstood, open your eyes and see."

Du Xinghe raised his eyelids to look at him, only to find that what was dripping down was the blood from his wrist.

There was a big cut on his arm.

Du Xinghe had just frowned when Xinyue interrupted her practice and flashed to his side. Her palm brushed across his arm, and his arm became smooth and flawless again without leaving a single scar, never giving him a chance to win the master's sympathy and love: "What are you doing?"

"In the secret realm before, didn't the Wu people use blood and singing to awaken the Gu spirit? So I want to try dripping blood to see if it will cause any changes."

Shen Shui's eyebrows and eyes were droopy.

It can be seen that apart from causing him to lose energy and blood, the altar did not react at all.

Du Xinghe laughed: "If only it were that simple... Your senior sister has healed your wounds, so just take a couple of blood-recovery pills and stop dripping blood everywhere."

However, she had just come down from the Nine Yang Sect and was traveling everywhere. Whenever she saw a treasure, she wanted to throw a few drops of blood on it. What if it recognized her as its master?
Like master, like disciple, this saying is true to her.

In the altar, it was so quiet that the only sound left was the sound of a knife carving new spiritual words on the floor tiles.

Du Xinghe closed his eyes again.

Not only did she call out for "Gu Shen Jue" in her heart, she also opened the mall of the palace fighting system.

This is an ability that transcends the world of cultivating immortals. Theoretically, any difficult problem can be solved with this power. The difficulty lies in finding a way to solve it.

Unlock the seal?

Palace Fighting System: [Metaphysics is not within the scope of palace fighting, the host may be able to check: Witch Doll]

No, if she wanted to rescue the Gu Ling——

Du Xinghe said: [The emperor has contracted a strange disease and cannot wake up. He is sealed in an ice coffin. I want to save him or communicate with him. ]

This time, the palace fighting system accepted her request.

However, when the system scanned the person in the blood ice, it rejected it: [Host, she is fertile and has a history of giving birth. She is not a man. How can she be the emperor? ] Whether it is the Gu spirits in the present world or in the secret realm, they do have countless histories of giving birth.

but……

Du Xinghe asked back in a resounding voice: [Why can't a man be born if he has a history of childbirth? We must have a male mother! Look how masculine he looks! Besides, no one stipulates that the emperor must be a man, I am the empress's favorite concubine. ]

The system fell silent again.

After a moment, it responded.

Palace Fighting System: [Allows the host to temporarily define this creature as an emperor and use items in the mall on him. ]

Isn’t this easy?
Du Xinghe first tried to use the panacea on the Gu Ling's body, but was told that the other party was not sick. The medicine failed, so he returned the same way.

After thinking for a moment, she chose another item.

[Enter the Dream]: Are you still worried that you are just a scrap in the harem? Use this item to enter the emperor's dream and have a great consummation with him in the dream, but if you want to have a child in the dream, you have to buy auspiciousness (use it with caution, some suspicious and superficially superstitious emperors will regard it as an adulterous child and give the host's family white silk)

This time, the dream was successful.

……

Gu Ling had a very long dream.

It is a product of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is neither male nor female, but hermaphrodite, and can produce spiritual poisonous insects on its own. In a deliberate siege thousands of years ago, its body was sealed in the Ten Thousand Years Witch Blood Crystal, and its soul was pulled into another space. The two are not interoperable. It is both it and not it.

At least, the Gu spirit in the secret realm does not have this memory.

In the Gu Ling's dream, the events of the sealed day kept repeating.

The full moon hung alone in the sky. The steep cliffs outside the witch clan's altar were covered with sharp marks left by sword energy and magic. The blood of the witch clan and the poisonous insects flowed into a river, sliding down from the rugged mountain. Those monks wearing black armor passed through the defense of the miasma, and only broken walls and ruins were left of the jade buildings.

If the current members of the Wu Clan saw the former Wu Clan base, they would be shocked by its luxury and magnificence. The tree houses could not accommodate so many people, and the poisonous insects even had their own palace.

But now, the whole land is filled with wailing and rivers of blood are flowing.

The bloodstained witch's eyes turned red, and he screamed: "Protect the witch and the Gu Ling master and retreat!"

Gu Ling has seen this scene too many times.

From the initial fear and anger, to the numbness and boredom today.

"I am General Zhou Zhan of the Xuan Kingdom. I am here on the orders of Emperor Xuan to ask the Wu Clan to hand over the evil skill "Gu Shen Jue" and the disaster object. As long as you hand over these two, we have no intention of making things difficult for you."

The man in black heavy armor came walking on the clouds. The dark purple miasma did not hurt him at all, and automatically opened a path for him. He had a faint smile on his lips and a calm face. Behind him, there were many figures, an endless army of monks, and all the swords in their hands were covered with blood.

"Gu Shen Jue" is one of the foundations of the Wu clan.

The disaster they were talking about was actually the Gu spirit.

Zhou Zhan knew that the Witch Clan would never agree to his demands, so he did not talk to them much. He first led his troops to kill most of the Witch Clan members, forcing them to flee in all directions, and then made demands to the only great witch who had the power to resist.

"Don't even think about it!" The Great Witch said coldly, "If you hadn't taken advantage of the witch's sympathy and used the Heart-Eating Needle with twelve blood curses to severely injure her protective insect, I wouldn't have been able to allow you to be so presumptuous today."

Facing the Great Wizard's questioning, Zhou Zhan only said: "The State Master calculated that if the disaster remains in the world, there will be a catastrophe that will destroy the world within a hundred years. The Xuan Kingdom sent troops only for our safety. If you hand over the disaster and the Gu Shen Jue, we will withdraw our troops and leave."

Gu Ling had heard the conversation between the two sides too many times.

The Great Witch wanted to use his life to delay time and let the witch and the Gu spirit escape, but the Xuan Kingdom came prepared this time. The moonlight illuminated the gloomy weapons and also illuminated the most greedy light in people's hearts. The Great Witch knew that there was probably a traitor in the tribe, but it was too late to screen it out now, and it would be meaningless to screen it out...

"Since you are all so curious about the Gu God Technique, today I will invite you to see the power of the Gu God!"

The Great Wizard's face turned serious, and a huge creature emerged behind him.

Zhou Zhan just realized something was wrong, and someone behind him exclaimed, "What a huge monster! Be careful!"

The giant scorpion, with a pitch-black body, was about as high as a small hill, blocking out most of the moonlight, and the dense forest also became dark.

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of witch clan Gu practitioners burned their blood and essence to borrow a little cultivation power from the heaven and earth. They would do this even if their own Gu worms and themselves would explode and die at the same time after they were exhausted, just to carve out a bloody path and let the Gu Ling Lord and the witch retreat.

The face of the great wizard hanging in the sky quickly became pale, and all his strength was taken away by the poisonous insect.

The evacuated witch, with the Gu spirit, sacrificed her life in the altar, splitting the base camp and the altar into two. One side was teleported to a secret place, while the other side tore open a crack in space, creating a "secret realm".

In this catastrophe, almost all the members of the Wu tribe were killed.

From a population the size of a small country, only a village secluded in the Nanling Mountains of Bayou was left. The survivors seemed to have been cut off from the rest of the generation, and they did not know the real reason for the decline of the Wu Clan. They only vaguely knew that there was a traitor in the clan, so they became more xenophobic, fearing outsiders and not allowing their clan members to travel to the Pingyun Continent, so as to avoid attracting the prying eyes and concerns of others.

The blood ice sealed up the Gu Ling's body, so even in his dreams, he couldn't walk freely.

This dream was slightly different from the tens of thousands of dreams I had had before.

"Have you seen enough?"

The Gu Ling raised his eyes slightly and looked at the strange female cultivator who was sitting in the corner the whole time.

"Ah, so you discovered me." Du Xinghe moved his hands and stood up from the ground.

"Everyone who died here was a member of the Wu clan who had worshipped me and offered me fruits, treasures and loyalty," Gu Ling's tone was cold, and his gaze on her was even more stern and sharp: "And you are an outsider."

I'm used to seeing the talkative Gu Ling in the secret realm talking nonsense, so it's a bit strange to suddenly see the serious version of him.

Seeing Du Xinghe remained silent, Gu Ling became even more suspicious and alert: "Who are you?"

"Do you really want to know? I'm afraid you'll be scared if I tell you."

"Slippery tongue, I am a Five Immortals Gu Spirit, nothing in the world can scare me."

"My true identity,"

Du Xinghe hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it's your master."

Gu Spirit: “…”

The handsome Gu Spirit, who was sealed in the blood ice and whose gender was difficult to distinguish, had a slightly cracked expression on his normally calm face. He suppressed his astonishment and shouted unhappily, "Nonsense!"

"Really? If you don't believe me, feel it for yourself."

Du Xinghe walked straight to Xue Bing.

Maybe it was because she was in a dream, the blood ice in the dream was more like a piece of solidified water suspended in mid-air. When she reached her hand in, she felt no hindrance and easily held his hand.

After feeling the pet contract on her body, the Gu Ling's expression changed unpredictably, from arrogance and disdain to surprise and astonishment, then slowly turned from white to blue, and finally his cheeks flushed, and he was furious: "How, how is it possible! How could I give my contract to an outsider! You, you must have used despicable means!"

After being a chaste woman for most of my life, I was suddenly told that I was a bad woman's pet.

Seeing the reaction of the Gu Ling's defense being broken, Du Xinghe deliberately didn't reveal the truth, and continued: "Don't be so upset, I'm here to rescue my pet. I'm already at the altar, tell me how to rescue you."

"You come to the altar? What is the night?"

After Du Xinghe told him the year, month and day, he still looked confused.

Too much time has passed and the era name has no meaning anymore.

"Well, so you are from the Wu tribe?"

Upon learning that she was there to save him, Gu Ling's expression eased a little.

Du Xinghe said vaguely: "Yes, I also know the Secret of the Gu God, but it's a pity that in your dream, I can't summon my natal Gu worm to show you."

Those who join halfway can also be considered members of the Wu clan!
Once you come here, you're family!

Hearing her say this, the Gu Ling sensed the existence of the contract again, and he believed her words: "I finally waited for someone to wake me up, but your cultivation is a bit low, not as good as the previous one. The previous one was at least in the Nascent Soul stage, but unfortunately he was a man and could not be a witch."

Du Xinghe guessed that the Nascent Soul Realm master he was talking about was Senior Chen.

She coughed lightly and said, "I know the person you are talking about. He is now in the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

Hearing this, Gu Ling could only sigh.

The look he gave her showed that she had taken advantage of him, and he was still upset: "You are from the Wu tribe, why are you holding a sword? Just like those villains from Xuan country..."

Du Xinghe said sternly: "The Xuan Kingdom and I are irreconcilable, don't compare me with them."

Just because of Xinyue's matter, it was destined that she and Xuanguo would have a bad relationship.

What's more, the mystery of her life experience is probably related to Xuan Kingdom.

Seeing that she hated Xuanguo, Gu Ling's favorable impression of her rose again: "I said the wrong thing. You came at the right time. I was sleeping here for ten thousand years. Apart from recalling that incident every day, I didn't feel any other discomfort. But yesterday I felt the pain of being burned by the raging fire. I don't know if the altar has been moved to the ground fire... If I have to be burned every day in the future, I really can't stand it."

Gu Ling still felt sad when he spoke.

Du Xinghe groaned, remembering how Shenshui roasted and burned Xuebing yesterday, and even hit it twice with a stick: "Ahahahaha... I definitely won't do that again in the future. Tell me how to get you out."

Gu Ling calmed down and told her:
"As long as you drop a drop of your blood into the blood pool, you will be baptized by the Gu God."

"If the Gu God recognizes you, you will become the new generation of witch."

"However, I was sealed in ice. This was a secret method used by the witch to protect my whereabouts and prevent the thieves from Xuan Country from detecting me... You can try to activate the formation again and wake me up."

Du Xinghe wanted to know more details, but the Gu Ling wanted to send her away: "Don't stay in my dream for too long, you should wake up."

"Wait, my disciple also dripped blood on the altar just now, and he dripped a lot, so why didn't he activate the Gu God Baptism?"

A huge white light replaced the scene in front of him, and the voice of the Gu Spirit became increasingly distant and blurred.

Du Xinghe only vaguely heard his dissatisfied voice——

"If even men don't want it, how can a monkey be recognized by the Gu God?"

……

In the altar, Du Xinghe suddenly opened his eyes.

What caught her eye was Shujiuqing sitting upright in front of her.

"Master, Master," seeing that she had woken up, Shu Jiuqing hurriedly took credit for it, "I have repaired the magic circle and changed the spiritual text that pauses time to restore the normal flow of time. As long as it is activated again, the impact left behind can be neutralized."

"You did very well."

Looking at the scale of the magic circle, Du Xinghe originally thought that it would take more time to repair it, but she didn't expect Xiao Jiu to give her such a big surprise.

Du Xinghe was happy and patted her head: "I'll think about how to reward you later."

The rewards that Du Xinghe mentioned are naturally tangible spirit stones or rare materials.

But Xinyue next to him widened her eyes and muttered in her heart - this junior sister will not take the opportunity to say that she wants to sleep with the master? Damn, she also wants to act like a spoiled child with the master! Why doesn't she know enough words? She can't even read Lingwen!
"Thank you Master!"

Shu Jiuqing was thinking about the materials he had wanted for a long time, but when he turned around, he met his senior sister's eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard Xinyue calling her, "Junior Sister."

"Senior sister, I'm here."

"Can you teach me how to identify spiritual texts?" Xinyue whispered, "I also want to help Master."

Thinking it was a huge challenge, Shu Jiuqing breathed a sigh of relief and agreed: "Of course I can, but Senior Sister, it's not that I don't want to teach you..."

"Ok?"

"Sister, the most urgent thing is to recognize all the characters first."

"..."

Du Xinghe did not hear the conversation between the academic master and the semi-illiterate.

She walked straight into the blood pool, and according to what the Gu Ling said, she cut a cut on her arm and let the blood flow out, which was instantly absorbed by the blood pool.

But this little bit of blood is obviously not enough.

Du Xinghe directly took out a blood-recovering pill from his storage ring and took it as he ate it.

She has plenty of pills, she can take as many as you want!
