681 A hundred years of shedding bones and being reborn, a thousand times of bleeding and immortality
(681 A hundred years of rebirth of shedding bones, a thousand times of blood immortality)
If Gou Zhu can be detached from the outside of his heart at this time and observe himself from the perspective of a bystander, it is actually very terrifying.
Entering the Blue Dragon Pool was like bathing, and he had put all his belongings and clothes outside the pool beforehand. This is what Lin Hutu told in advance, otherwise you will bear the loss.
As soon as he entered the Blue Dragon Pool, the vitality in Aoki's spiritual fluid began to corrode his flesh and skin. His skin was first infected with cyan, and then gradually dissolved.
The coolness he felt like a summer spring was actually just an illusion. From the moment he entered the Blue Dragon Pool, all he saw and felt was hallucination. His soul and body had long since split in two.
His skin quickly dissolved completely, revealing flesh and bones within. The snow is no longer red, but a strange dark ochre formed by mixing turquoise and red. When the white bones in the exposed flesh were stained, they shimmered like green jade.
Only the Eastern Aoki Heavenly Kingdom under the rule of the Qing Emperor had such ability. This is because unlike the billions of natural forces in heaven and earth, Aoki's power lies in life.
Assuming that the spiritual liquid in this pool is not the Aoki spiritual liquid, but the Xuanying spiritual liquid, then the only effect is to freeze the monks inside into a piece of ice. If this was a pool of Southern Hellfire Separation Fire, then Gou Zhu would have already turned into ashes.
Divine power is not that the stronger it is, the more omnipotent it is, but that if you control different laws, you have different abilities.
The flesh of the body was gradually dissolved, but the meridians in the body made of spiritual bodies remained. Without the vitality provided by the physical body, they will also dissolve and decay immediately. But now they don't need a physical body, and this pool of Aoki Ichor can provide life on its own.
After being destroyed to the point where almost only the bones and meridians remained, as well as the constant flickering of divine consciousness in the skull, the person who was Gou Zhu almost ceased to exist. If any accident happens, he can be reincarnated directly.
But in this isolated space-time, there will be no surprises. His body began to grow slowly again. The process is not short. From the beginning to the destruction and then rebirth, it took about several years in the human world.
This is actually the same as his own cultivation. Cultivating a monk in the human world is also a process of rebirth. It's just that the process is a gradual metabolism, not like this.
It is impossible for a normal person to destroy his physical body first and then reconstruct it, he can only subtly. But the process can't be thorough. Some old ailments may remain in the body and can never be removed. The higher the realm climbs, the more the disease becomes a hidden danger of terror.
But the vitality in the Green Dragon Pool solves this problem. Even if the physical body is destroyed, the soul and the basic spiritual mechanism that sustains it are still there, and rebuilding it with the nourishment of Aoki's vitality can ensure that this step is close to perfection.
After about the first three years, Gou's body was restored to good condition again. But the process began again. First dissolve, then rebuild...... Cultivating in the Qinglong Pool was the same as cultivating in the outside world, and he could only climb up one level at a time.
The first reincarnation made Gouzhu's physical body climb to the four colors of the Void Dan, and then the process of the fifth color began again. There is absolutely no way to climb across levels in the world, and this Qinglong Pool is no exception.
And the process of each reincarnation is not the same. Overall, the higher you climb to the higher realms, the longer the process will take. And some passes, such as the promotion of the Void Pill to the Purple Mansion, and the promotion of the Purple Mansion to the Golden Pill, will take longer. It takes different people to take different times.
According to the records of the Tree Clan, it is said that returning to the light realm can instantly improve cultivation, but that is just an illusion brought about by the flow rate of different times in the heavenly realm and the human realm.
You must know that Gou Zhu has been cultivating here for a hundred years, and when he returns to the human world, the human world will only be a day and a night. It only took one day to improve the realm, which can already be called instantaneous.
But it is impossible to predict how far Gou Zhu can ascend here. It all depends on what stage he will be stuck in this hundred years of cultivation, and it varies from person to person.
One thing is for sure, the treatment given to him by Qinglongchi is definitely not as good as that of the tree emperor wood and the tree queen mull. Moreover, the wood and the mull themselves are both tree bodies, and the effect in this Qinglong Pool, which is full of Aoki's aura, is definitely far better than him.
Therefore, Gou Zhu does not expect to be promoted to the level of Jindan. But if he can be promoted to the Purple Mansion, he will also take advantage of it solidly.
As for the cultivation of the divine sense, the cultivation method in Shura is the simplest, and that is fighting, endless battles. Because in the heavenly realm, this is the only way for Shura to elevate himself. All the lessons left by the Twelve Golden Immortals are how to avoid death in battle, avoid defeat, and constantly improve their realm.
Most of the time, both sides of the fight are won by the side with a higher realm. If you keep challenging the monks of the higher realms and try to win by all means, then you are essentially forcing yourself to ascend to the realm and overpower the other party. Because if you want to win, this is the safest and most reliable path.
This is very similar to the bloodstained monument in Gou Zhu's hand. The great power of the senior who refined the bloodstained body monument was likely to have a connection with the Shura realm, so he "created" such a cultivation path.
But for the monks of the human realm, this is simply not feasible. Because you fight with others, if you just bully an opponent who is weaker than yourself, it will hardly help you improve your realm.
If, on the other hand, you always provoke opponents who are stronger than you, you will die quickly. Even if you are lucky enough not to die, ten times, a hundred times, as long as you miss once, you will die. If you can't even live, how can you talk about climbing to the realm and pursuing immortality?
And Shura was born in the troubled times of Mount Meru, where the flesh is weak and strong. If they didn't fight, they couldn't have survived at all. In the ongoing struggle, countless Shura died, but at the same time, countless Shura were reborn.
In the midst of such a chaotic torrent, there are always some Shura who are like big waves rushing across the sand, going through nine deaths and lives, surviving countless battles and becoming truly strong. This is true of the Shura Quartet Emperor, and the same is true of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Tree Clan.
Therefore, when Gou Zhu came here, what his divine consciousness faced was an endless battle that would last for a full hundred years!
He was dealing with all kinds of creatures. There are beasts, insects, humanoid creatures, and even strange ghosts that are invisible and shadowless. The only characteristic of these beings is that they are all stronger than him.
If he fails, the illusion will start all over again. If he wins, another stronger opponent will emerge. What level his divine consciousness can ultimately reach depends only on how many opponents he can defeat in the end.
If he faced an opponent and couldn't defeat it for a hundred years, then his Divine Consciousness Realm would be stuck here and unable to move forward. But even if he is stuck here, he can't rest, and he doesn't have a moment to spare. Because whether he resists or not, his opponents will always attack him constantly.
In this desperate situation, in addition to constant fighting, there is only fighting! Whether you win or lose, you must continue to fight!
In this purgatory of divine consciousness, he collapsed countless times. But the collapse is useless, and even if he collapses, he can't die, he can only continue to fight. If he could be allowed to choose again, he would never have entered this so-called return to the light. Any other cultivation method is 10,000 times more relaxed and enjoyable than this!
But there is no regret medicine here. Once inside the Blue Dragon Pool, this process is absolutely impossible to terminate. There was no way for him to escape this illusion of constant fighting.
Whether he sat still, committed suicide, or blew himself up, it was impossible for him to leave this illusion, there was no sleep, no coma, only constant battles, only constant attacks from one powerful enemy after another.
He either enjoys the pain of being ravaged by others, or he fights back again and again in extreme exhaustion. And even if the counterattack wins, he will only usher in the next stronger opponent.
It was such a long night, full of blood, madness, exhaustion, and extreme collapse, as if there was no end to it.
But the end will come. No matter a hundred years, a thousand years, or even tens of millions of years like the life span of heaven and man, there will be an end one day. It's just that at the end of the day, Gou Zhu stood up from the sea of blood, and suddenly felt that his mind was blank, he had long forgotten where he came from and why he came here.
All he remembered was the endless bloody battles where his soul had been purified of the memories of his mind after countless trials. He doesn't even remember who he is anymore.
The side effects of such a crazy Divine Soul cultivation that lasted for a hundred years were also huge, enough to make any creature completely lose itself and become a complete bloodthirsty madman. However, at this time, the immortal breath of the twelve golden immortals began to work.
He felt the smell of blood wrapped in layers around him, and he was constantly retreating and purifying under the infection of immortal breath. It was as if time was beginning to go back in time, peeling off his experience from the end of the century like peeling an onion. His memory was constantly going backwards.
He suddenly remembered that the people who came here to finish their cultivation would forget what happened here. Even after a hundred years of extreme madness, these related memories will naturally be washed away by the fairy breath, so that most of these side effects will be washed away as well. He'll regain his memories of where he was in.
Even if his memory was restored, his physical body and divine soul had undergone real tempering, and had been elevated to a realm far higher than when he entered. It's just that in his memory and consciousness, he is still in the original realm.
Once he thinks so, he will actually suppress his cultivation at what he thinks is the realm. But it's not too much of a problem. In the future cultivation and fighting, he will slowly awaken at any time, climb layer by layer, and continue to break through until his true realm.
He remembered it, but the memories were fading away. He remembered that he would go to a place now. The place was agreed upon before they entered the place. Therefore, even if all his memories are lost in the return to the light, this part of his memories will not fade.
Soon, the green aura in the Qinglong Pool faded, and the black night sky around him gradually faded. The sky gradually brightened, and a green mountain top like an island appeared in the sea of clouds. Seeing this familiar place, he silently cried out in his heart:
"Jade Peak, I'm finally back!"
