Chapter 204: Chapter 151: All the Great Powers Take Action_2

After chatting idly with Yu Hua for a while, Gu Wen saw that she had begun to feel sleepy again. He took his leave and went out to find the room of Chi Yu Zi.

He had reached the Sixth Transition Golden Core, to advance further, he needed the unique secret recipe of Chi Yu Zi for a breakthrough.

"Seventh Transition Golden Core, above the fulfilled state, requires a hundred and ten years to forge with the Golden Core as iron."

Golden Core as iron, Gu Wen could only think about consuming the spiritual swords and the chi of Chi Yu Zi.

Chi Yu Zi’s room was several dozen meters away; Gu Wen came to the door, pushed it open, and entered.

He saw a short-haired girl sitting cross-legged on the ground, her Vestment robe as a disciple of the Sword Control Sect had transformed into a tube top and shorts. She was enveloped in Angri True Fire, and through the True Fire, one could see every inch of her muscles was like a piece of art.

Was it the wonder of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, or was it that both Chi Yu Zi and Murong Suyue practiced Body Refinement? However, the former’s muscles were not so bulky, just well-defined without affecting her overall figure.

Sensing Gu Wen’s presence, she slowly opened her eyes, her orange-red pupils even redder than Angri True Fire.

"You’re just in time, stab me a few times with the Immortal Sword."

Gu Wen pulled a corner of his mouth and asked, "What’s your situation?"

"Physical backlash, my soul and spirit can’t control this body, like an iron block soaked in seawater."

The smiling Chi Yu Zi clenched her fist; there wasn’t a trace of discouragement on her face.

"But I have initially forged the Taoist Body, this problem is just a matter of time."

"Can the Taoist Body cure your illness? Who told you that?"

"A senior from the sect, and if even the Immortal Skill cannot cure it, then I’m afraid there is no other way in this world. Hurry up and help me suppress the physical erosion. Otherwise, when it starts to hurt, will you give me wine to drink?"

Chi Yu Zi lay down and gently closed her eyes, frowning slightly, her eyelashes trembling lightly.

"It’s not you getting stabbed, so why all the fuss?"

It’s only your stubborn mouth that’s tough.

Gu Wen stepped forward and concentrated the Immortal Sword, adeptly stabbing the girl’s snow-white skin with the spiritual sword.

Along with a low cry of pain, a streak of blood appeared.

Chi Yu Zi’s fingers deeply embedded into the ground, and with a slight clawing motion, the floor turned to mud as numerous marks appeared. Her entire body trembled.

Gu Wen didn’t know how painful it was to be pierced by the Immortal Sword. The only thing he could do was to avert his gaze, not to intrude upon Chi Yu Zi’s will to survive.

After a long time, the moans of pain gradually subsided. Chi Yu Zi lay on the ground covered in sweat, her Vestment robe starting to extend and transforming back into the clothes of a Sword Control Sect disciple.

This was because after being pierced by the Immortal Sword, the clothes were indeed ruined, and the Vestment robe could not recover.

Chi Yu Zi looked pitifully at Gu Wen and asked, "Do you have wine?"

"None left, but I think that town we visited before should have some."

"Go get me some."

"I’m going out for a bit later, I can pick some up for you then."

Gu Wen didn’t refuse; he indeed needed to go out because he had run out of Demon Core and Meat Spirit Medicine to consume.

Recently, there had been many traces of demons nearby, likely due to Tushan Xue.

Demons might have connections with each other, and Tushan Xue’s sudden disappearance would naturally lead to investigations, but the Grotto Heaven is over a hundred miles from the town and beyond the range that most people’s Divine Thoughts can scan.

Moreover, with the barrier of a Grotto Heaven layer, the few minor demons who had come close hadn’t found the entrance.

"There’s one more thing, the Divine Skills of the Sixth Transition Golden Core, Xuanpin Tongshen, seems to be able to greatly enhance strength, but its exact effect is somewhat vague."

"Xuanpin Tongshen of the Sixth Transition Golden Core, Xuanpin establishes roots, centers the five energies, and blends the hundred spirits."

"Xuanpin, in the center of heaven and earth, hangs a void cavity opening and closing naturally."

Chi Yu Zi’s voice was weak as she muttered, explaining the mysteries to Gu Wen.

A teacher can only lead you to the door; the practice is up to the individual, and often the hardest part is the beginning. With the senior Chi Yu Zi, Gu Wen saved a lot of time fumbling around.

Xuanpin wasn’t a skill for combat but a Divine Skill that silently nourished and stimulated all acupoints to perform to their maximum.

To Gu Wen, it was like an adrenaline of cultivation; people can’t maintain one hundred percent performance all the time, but the Divine Skill of Xuanpin allowed one to reach the optimal state instantly.

Even if one was seriously injured, as long as they weren’t missing arms or legs, they could maintain the best condition.

Gu Wen roughly understood why using Xuanpin didn’t feel any different, because in a normal state without injuries or other negative states, it would only feel like the body was lighter.

"It doesn’t feel as strong as I imagined."

Gu Wen commented as such. He understood its importance, but it seemed too weak compared to Divine Skills.

It lacked the power to shake the heavens and earth.

"There’s a higher application of Xuanpin that allows you to temporarily ascend a realm."

"Teach me."

A stream of Divine Thought came, mixed with various applications of the Sixth Transition Golden Core’s Divine Skills. Experiences that other Cultivators treated as treasures were taught to Gu Wen by Chi Yu Zi without any reservation.

"Xuanpin Tongshen, centers the five energies, one energy per realm, requiring ten years of Heavenly Marrow."

With a thought, the Heavenly Marrow refined, and Gu Wen instantly had many insights.

"Heavenly Marrow for forty years."

With the direction and path given by Chi Yu Zi, the Heavenly Marrow was like a path to the heavens, instantly bringing him to his destination.

What is the five energy? Form, sound, smell, taste, touch.

The five energies correspond to the five senses, one damage affects all, paying the price of one sense in exchange for greater strength in a higher realm.

There are many Daoist Skills that trade for power at a certain cost, but basically, they are all one-time uses, and often after one use, a person becomes half-crippled. Especially those that can raise a realm directly, they are basically at the brink of death to achieve that effect.

Otherwise, how can a mere hundred years of Foundation Establishment cultivation shake a Golden Core with five hundred years of cultivation?
