Chapter 503: Gu God? Valley God! (Making up for Delayed Chapter 42)

"This. . ."

Black Xuan Shangren stared at the heaven-reaching phenomenon and the mirage-like illusory projection of the mystic realm surrounding them, unable to suppress his urgency: "When this mystic realm opened, why is the phenomenon so vast? How can we conceal this? I fear nearby cultivators will surely discover it, and it won't be long before word reaches the Saint Fire Cult. . ."

Jade Green Zhenjun's expression also turned somewhat grim: "I only knew that activating the Gu God Token could open the mystic realm portal, how could I have known it would be like this?"

At this moment, around the earthen yellow pillar of light, streaks of mirage-like illusions appeared, depicting scenes of an oasis—presumably fleeting glimpses of the mystic realm's interior.

The first thing that entered the three Zhenjun's eyes was something standing like an archway.

It was entirely white, with ancient black seal script characters inscribed upon it.

"Valley God Mystic Realm?"

Black Xuan Shangren identified it, feeling somewhat bewildered: "Valley God. . . Gu God? Could this be the name of some Gu cultivator?"

Pan Yin's expression suddenly changed as she gazed at the scene.

Upon seeing this, Jade Green Zhenjun smiled faintly: "If Fellow Daoist Pan knows something, why not speak plainly? We are allies now, and after we obtain opportunities, we will naturally let Fellow Daoist choose first. . ."

"This. . ."

Pan Yin waited until Black Xuan Shangren also agreed to the suggestion before hesitantly beginning to speak: "This humble one has only seen it in an ancient Gu cultivation text. 'Valley God' is a very ancient term that seems to involve the faith of Gu cultivators. . . Perhaps it was distorted over time, and Valley God then evolved into 'Gu God' to refer to great divine ability cultivators among Gu cultivators. . ."

"Regardless of whether this place is the Gu God Mystic Realm or the Valley God Mystic Realm, we must still enter."

Jade Green Zhenjun nodded, then his gaze suddenly shifted, staring intently at that mirage.

Within the mirage, another scene appeared.

It was a patch of emerald-like green bamboo, each stalk drizzling with verdant greenness, with faint golden patterns on their leaves, converging into a strange rune.

"Nine Hearts Pure Tranquil Bamboo? Such a large patch?"

Black Xuan Shangren's eyes nearly bulged out: "Such a heaven and earth spirit root has long been extinct in the outside world. It's even said that the profound light transformed from this Pure Tranquil Bamboo is quite damaging to the demon race. . . For it to appear now, could it be Heaven's will?"

The scenes within the mirage flashed by quickly.

Among them were a gloomy and terrifying underground blood river, snow-capped mountains, and endless grasslands. . .

It seemed all sorts of strange terrains could be found within the mystic realm.

Mystic realms, by mimicking the creation of heaven and earth, can often nurture rare heavenly treasures and special exotic Gu!

"That, that is. . ."

Pan Yin gazed at a colossal mountain black as a cauldron in the final scene, too excited to speak.

"Fellow Daoist Pan recognizes that place?"

Jade Green Zhenjun immediately asked.

"That last mountain is similar to the setup of our sect's Gu Refinement Caves; it should contain many precious Gu insects sealed within. . ."

Pan Yin recovered from her momentary lapse, answering with a serious expression.

However, her heart was tremendously shaken: 'Heavenly Tray Mountain. . . So the rumored holy land of Gu cultivators, 'Heavenly Tray Mountain,' is actually within the Valley God Mystic Realm. . . Is that rumor also true? Are there Gu insects that surpass the Golden Silkworm Gu on Heavenly Tray Mountain? '

Among all Gu, the Golden Silkworm reigns supreme!

Gu cultivators capable of refining the Golden Silkworm Gu are all peerless geniuses, with the hope of advancing to Nascent Soul!

But in ancient times, it was rumored that there were some special Gu insects that could be refined to the fifth rank!

Pan Yin had always regarded it as a mythical legend, yet she never imagined that Heavenly Tray Mountain would one day actually appear before her eyes!

'If I can refine a fifth-rank Gu insect, won't I have hopes of Soul Transformation? '

'Even if Soul Transformation is difficult to achieve, I can at least advance to the realm of a Grand Cultivator! '

Pan Yin's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

Although she was a true genius in the path of Gu cultivation, after reaching Nascent Soul, she felt her potential was exhausted.

Essentially, for all Nascent Soul cultivators, once they reached the Nascent Soul stage, pure arduous cultivation could no longer advance their cultivation.

At this point, it mainly depended on opportunities!

'The Valley God Mystic Realm must be my opportunity! '

'Once I achieve the realm of a Grand Cultivator, I will make those who shamed me pay, one by one! '

Pan Yin's gaze subtly swept over Jade Green Zhenjun and Black Xuan Shangren.

At this moment, these two Zhenjun had also recovered from their shock.

Jade Green Zhenjun said: "The great door seems to have opened. . ."

"Wealth is found in danger. Let's go!"

Black Xuan Shangren opened his mouth, and a small black boat flew out. Dragon scales were faintly visible on its hull, clearly crafted from high-grade Flood Dragon materials.

"Though the materials for this 'Black Jiao Boat' are ordinary, it possesses some void-traversing ability,"

Black Xuan Shangren explained, then leapt directly onto the small boat.

The Black Jiao Boat transformed into a streak of black light and charged straight into the earthen yellow pillar of light.

Seeing Black Xuan Shangren act thus, Pan Yin, unwilling to be outdone, immediately summoned a Gu insect.

This Gu insect resembled a pair of wings. After she refined it, a pair of wind wings, covered in green feathers, immediately grew on her back. With a gentle flap, she executed a wind evasion technique and entered the pillar of light.

Jade Green Zhenjun also murmured: ". . . This mystic realm's phenomenon truly cannot be concealed with formations. So be it. . ."

He controlled an emerald jade ruler, which transformed into a verdant escape light, and also entered the pillar of light.

After these three Zhenjun had all entered the mystic realm, a flash of golden light appeared in the void, and the figure of Golden Light Chan Master emerged. Gazing at the recurring mirage, he finally proclaimed a Buddhist chant loudly, transformed into a golden Flood Dragon, and also flew inside.

Not long after, streaks of light appeared in the sky, revealing the figures of a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The leader was a Core Formation cultivator. Upon seeing this phenomenon, he quickly said something to the people beside him.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators flew backward, presumably to report back to their families or sects.

However, more cultivators followed that Core Formation cultivator, rushing into the Valley God Mystic Realm.

For cultivators, despair on the cultivation path is the most terrifying thing.

Therefore, they must seize every opportunity they encounter with all their might!

...

A hundred li away.

Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness swept over, and he saw this scene.

"Valley God Mystic Realm?"

"Interesting!"

His Divine Consciousness spread out, and he could even see some low-level cultivators directly fighting and killing to seize treasures at the mystic realm entrance. . .

Various corpses and blood flowed across the ground, transforming into terrifying chaos.

Fang Xi was too lazy to bother with it. His Divine Consciousness swept over the mirage-like images.

"Nine Hearts Pure Tranquil Bamboo, Ten-Thousand-Year Thunder Fruit. . . Indeed, there are many good things."

The mirage constantly repeated the previous images, as if to attract cultivators to come.

Fang Xi originally regarded it as a joke, until he saw that underground blood river, which slightly moved him: "This kind of environment might give birth to Blood River Stones. . ."

As he pondered, a blurry shadow seemed to flash past within that blood river. Although it was extremely swift, a Nascent Soul cultivator's Divine Consciousness still managed to capture it. . .

Fang Xi stroked his chin: "An instance dungeon? Since I transmigrated, I've only been to one mystic realm: the Long Evergreen Park. . ."

"Such a treasure trove. . . Naturally, I'm not going!"

He sneered, making up his mind that he definitely wouldn't enter the mystic realm.

Who knows what dangers lie within the mystic realm?

What if it's a massive trap?

"Rather than risking entry, it's better to just lie in wait outside, observe the situation, and kill to seize treasures. . ."

"Anyway, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are no match for me."

At this thought, Fang Xi was no longer in a hurry. He rode his Jade Toad, watching the show from the side.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed: "That's not right. . . I can't guarantee that a Nascent Soul cultivator who emerges will definitely have a Blood River Stone. In that case, it would truly be a bit troublesome."

...

Kyushu World.

Femtometer Research Institute.

Rumble!

The femtometer printer roared, then a translucent, fist-sized pearl flew out of it.

Within the pearl, faintly, pavilions, towers, and immortal palaces were visible. . .

Professor Huo Yunzi stood to the side, his gaze carrying a hint of suspicion as he looked at Zhang Huohua: "Since you have Ghost Axe Zhenjun's personal handwritten order, this old man will work for you once for free. . . This 'Mysterious Primordial Pearl' has been modified and upgraded. All the internal nano-robot factories have now been upgraded to femtometer level, so it can be renamed the 'Mysterious Primordial Eight Scenery Pearl'!"

He actually really wanted to ask: where had the Life-Bound Artifact Green Grain Sword that Zhang Huohua crafted before gone?

However, thinking of Ghost Axe Zhenjun's ambiguous attitude, he endured it nonetheless.

"Many thanks!"

Fang Xi held the 'Mysterious Primordial Eight Scenery Pearl' in one hand, with not a hint of embarrassment on his face: "I also need to borrow the professor's energy furnace for a bit, to charge this Mysterious Primordial Eight Scenery Pearl to full power before I leave. . ."

"Hmph. . . I knew it. Your kind of femtometer artifact, without energy support, is just trash."

Huo Yunzi snorted coldly: "Did you suffer from the previous design last time, didn't you? I advise you to quickly melt down that Green Grain Sword and reforge it, just honestly charge it up. Why bother with energy slots? Do you think you're a rich man, to have a few top-grade spirit stones to play around with?"

Fang Xi wore a smile on his face, allowing Huo Yunzi to grumble as he pleased.

After taking the charged Mysterious Primordial Eight Scenery Pearl, he immediately returned to his own cave abode.

Then. . .

Amidst a flash of silver light.

The External Avatar appeared before Fang Xi.

It held a Mysterious Primordial Pearl in its hand, a faint red line subtly visible between its brows. Then, with a hand seal, it drilled into the puppet 'Feng Shisan'.

The Green Horned Silver-Armed Puppet was only a low-grade fourth-rank, and it belonged to the Five Elements Lin Clan, which was too significant in the Western Desert.

Feng Shisan was slightly better; his cultivation was still mid-grade fourth-rank!

The External Avatar transformed into a streak of demonic light and entered through Feng Shisan's crown.

A moment later, Feng Shisan opened his intelligent eyes and formed a hand seal.

Crackling sounds!

His facial features instantly transformed, turning into an ordinary, unremarkable face.

As the External Avatar's mind stirred, the Mysterious Primordial Pearl turned into a layer of liquid, covering this face, becoming a silver-white, sci-fi mask.

"You go first. . . I'll guard the mystic realm entrance."

Fang Xi assigned the tasks. Seeing the External Avatar like this, he pondered for a moment, then patted the Jade Toad beneath him.

The Five Fire Gu immediately came to the External Avatar's side: "This place seems to be a Gu cultivation mystic realm. Take this Gu with you, it might be useful. . ."

The Five Fire Gu's combat power is formidable; it can contend with ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, so it is naturally a good helper.

The External Avatar said nothing and directly rode the Jade Toad.
