Chapter 424: Yuanli Assimilation Gu, Downgrade Gu
Outside Jiuhua Mountain.
It was crowded, but exceptionally quiet. You could hear a needle drop, but it was quickly broken.
"Master Wu is moving!"
"Do you have any clues?"
"Great, I finally know how to open this broken barrier!"
"..."
In the huge open space in front of where Su Chen had laid out his formation, there was a thin old man.
The place where he is located can be called the most luxurious location in Jiuhua Mountain.
Because he occupies a large area of land, no one can approach within a radius of five meters.
The people around him would rather be crowded, but they also wanted to ensure that the thin old man had enough space.
The old man is Master Wu as everyone calls him.
As Master Wu, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the open space, slowly stood up, the originally calm crowd suddenly became noisy as if they were thrown into a muffled thunder.
"Master Wu, how is the situation?"
In the inner circle, a middle-aged man walked forward and asked. He was much more powerful than Master Wu, but facing Master Wu, his attitude seemed quite respectful. Although he was anxious at the moment, his tone was still clear. A sense of awe.
"Yes, Master Wu, can you tell us how to break through this Gu Immortal Formation?"
Someone else couldn't wait to speak, asking their own thoughts and the thoughts of everyone present.
After hearing this, Master Wu coughed slightly, his expression looking extremely solemn.
He turned around and everyone, but before he could speak, the noisy voices quickly quieted down.
Master Wu said: "Everyone, after six days and six nights of investigation, I have found the flaw in the Gu Immortal Formation."
As soon as these words came out, everyone became excited.
"Master Wu, what's the flaw?"
"Say it quickly!"
"..."
Listening to everyone's words, Master Wu raised his hand. When everyone saw this, they realized that there were so many people talking that they completely covered Master Wu's voice and made him unable to speak.
"quiet!"
At this time, the middle-aged man who spoke first uttered two words.
The voice carried a suppressive force and quickly calmed everyone's voices.
He looked at Master Wu, cupped his hands and said, "Master Wu, please don't hesitate to tell me how to open it."
Seeing his attitude, Master Wu did not put on airs and nodded: "Everyone, after my research, if you want to activate this Gu Immortal Formation, you need to collect five kinds of Gu Insects, namely Netherworld Yin Gold Insects... However, It is extremely difficult to gather these five kinds of Gu insects, otherwise, the people of the four major families would not give up the inheritance of Gu Immortal and leave it to us."
"this……"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Many people's faces showed even more unwillingness.
They had waited for so long, and finally waited until the barrier was broken. They thought they could drink some soup, but now there is not even any residue.
It turned out that it was not that the four major families gave up on purpose, but that they could not find these five Gu insects, so they had to give up.
"Then Master Wu, can't you replace it with other Gu insects?"
someone asked.
Master Wu shook his head: "No, but I have found another way."
"What can I do?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
Everyone looked at Master Wu eagerly.
Master Wu did not tell everyone the method directly, but asked: "Everyone, is there anyone who has the Yuanli Assimilation Gu?"
"I have!"
Yuanli Assimilation Gu is a kind of auxiliary Gu that is not particularly powerful.
Generally speaking, it can reach up to rank six, and Gu Masters at rank six and below are more popular.
The reason is that when the Gu Master is in the early stages of cultivation, the Yuan Power in his body is mottled and complicated, and he needs to use Gu insects to refine his Yuan Power.
Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to practice, but it will also affect subsequent advancement.
After all, in the cultivation of a Gu Master, Yuan Li is the foundation and Gu Insects are the means.
As long as there are enough Gu Insects, the Gu Master can break through quickly, but without pure Yuan Power, it will be a disaster for the Gu Master.
Therefore, Gu masters attach great importance to the tempering of Yuanli.
This emphasis is especially reflected in the early stages of cultivation, because the earlier you start, the easier it is to temper your energy.
Otherwise, as the Gu Master's strength increases, it will not be so easy to temper Yuan Power.
For some Gu Masters with poor family backgrounds, it is basically impossible to temper them to the fourth level.
For those Gu Masters with better family backgrounds, this kind of tempering can be continued until the sixth level.
But among the sixth-level Gu worms, there are very few Gu worms that have a tempering effect.
Yuanli assimilation Gu is one kind.
His function is to assimilate the Yuan Power that does not belong to the same category into the same Yuan Power while tempering the Yuan Power.
Although everyone didn't know why Master Wu suddenly asked about Yuanli Assimilation Gu, some Gu Masters who had such Gus responded after hearing this.
After a while, more than ten people spoke.
Master Wu saw this, nodded slightly, and asked: "Who has the downgrade Gu in their body?"
The words spread, but no one spoke.
The downgrade Gu is a rank nine Gu, which is not that easy to obtain.
Everyone present has different levels of strength, but they are generally around rank six. With their strength, it would be too difficult to get the downgrade Gu.
At this time, the middle-aged man stood up, with a flash of hesitation on his face.
He opened his mouth and finally said: "May I ask Master Wu, what is the use of these two kinds of Gu insects?"
"I don't want to be evasive. The reason why I want these two kinds of Gu is to break the Gu Immortal's formation."
Master Wu knew that everyone had doubts, so he explained,
"According to my observation, although the formation of the Gu Immortal is powerful, it is not unbreakable and still has flaws. One of the flaws is that the immortal energy in the formation has weakened during these six days. That's why I thought of using the power of the Gu insect to break the formation."
The barrier was broken six days ago. During this period, everyone thought of countless ways, but still failed to break the formation.
In the end, they had no choice but to ask for help from the experienced Master Wu.
After six days and nights of observation and hard thinking, he came up with this method.
Although the success rate cannot be guaranteed to be 100%, it is at least 50% certain.
The rest needs to be verified in person.
Knowing this reason, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "To be honest with Master Wu, I have an eight-turn downgrade Gu on me. I wonder if it can be used?"
"Eight-turn?" Master Wu looked thoughtful, "Forget it, let's try it first."
"Okay!"
The middle-aged man handed over the downgrade Gu.
To be on the safe side, when asking for the Yuanli Assimilation Gu, Master Wu asked all the Gu Masters who held the Gu to come out, as they might be useful at that time.
After everything was ready, Master Wu began to operate.
He first asked the middle-aged man to control the downgrade Gu to continuously downgrade the immortal energy. It didn't need to be all, just downgrade part of it so that the immortal energy could become normal Yuanli, which would be convenient for subsequent operations.
But even a part of it was quite difficult. No matter how the middle-aged man operated the immortal energy on the formation, there was no change.
"Don't be anxious, take your time. Immortal energy is not so easy to downgrade. It takes time, and the longer the time, the more beneficial it is for us, because according to my observation, this Gu Xian inheritance is different from other inheritances. It can still exist for at least one month."
Hearing Master Wu's words, the middle-aged man calmed down and his movements became orderly.
Time passed bit by bit.
The situation did not change for the time being, and everyone waited quietly.
Inside the cave.
Su Chen was slightly surprised to learn the whole story from Duan Tian Dao.
He didn't expect that the formation deadline that even a 9th-turn Gu Master couldn't see was actually discovered by a 7th-turn Gu Master.
And judging from the other party's appearance, it seemed that he had found a way to open the formation.
This made Su Chen, who originally wanted to leave, suddenly interested.
He stayed inside and waited quietly.
In a blink of an eye, it was the third day.
"There is a change!"
At noon, Su Chen noticed the difference in the formation for the first time.
The immortal energy on the downgraded part controlled by the middle-aged man was undergoing subtle changes, gradually transforming from immortal energy to Yuanli.
"Start downgrading!"
The middle-aged man also noticed this change and his face lit up.
"Success!"
Master Wu shouted excitedly, the success of the downgrade meant that his idea was correct.
Then, he warned: "Don't be impatient, take your time!"
After that, he turned to the Gu Masters who had the Yuanli Assimilation Gu and reminded them: "Everyone, listen to my instructions and be ready at all times."
"Yes!"
The people who had waited for so long had long been impatient. Now that there was progress, they were all encouraged.
As the middle-aged man continued to downgrade his immortal energy, a small part of the immortal energy had already turned into Yuanli.
But it was not enough.
Master Wu watched closely, not daring to miss any details.
Finally, the time was almost right, and Master Wu hurriedly said: "Quick, use the Yuanli Assimilation Gu to prevent the Yuanli from being assimilated into immortal energy. Remember, you must cooperate with Master Ma and choose the place with the most Yuanli!"
More than a dozen people heard the words and took action.
They controlled the Yuanli Assimilation Gu at the same time, and suddenly more than ten energy streams flowed into the formation to cooperate with the actions of the middle-aged man.
With the cooperation of more than ten Yuanli Assimilation Gu, the pressure on the middle-aged man was reduced sharply.
"Up a little."
"Left."
"Right."
He kept adjusting the direction of the Yuanli Assimilation Gu to maximize the purpose.
Under the control of the middle-aged man, more and more immortal energy was downgraded and assimilated into Yuanli.
A few hours later, a gap of about half a foot high appeared in the formation, enough to accommodate an adult.
"Don't stop, wait until the gap is completely stabilized before you stop!"
Master Wu saw that the middle-aged man and others wanted to stop, and spoke quickly.
The matter is not over yet, and if you stop at this time, all your efforts will be wasted.
Hearing this, the originally excited middle-aged man and others immediately became serious and dared not be careless anymore.
They didn't even ask the reason, and continued to maintain the status quo.
After the attempt just now, they have proved the correctness of Master Wu's words with their actions.
Naturally, they will not question each other.
Master Wu didn't let them wait too long. After about an incense stick, Master Wu sacrificed a Gu worm, threw it into the formation, and then controlled the Gu worm to the gap.
As the poisonous insect fell, the intersection of the Yuanli and the immortal energy at the gap seemed to be fixed, and there was no tendency to change.
Seeing this scene, Master Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, you can stop."
The middle-aged man and others immediately withdrew their Yuanli.
The long-term loss of Yuanli made everyone's face covered with beads of sweat.
The middle-aged man's face turned pale due to the dual consumption of his spirit and energy, but his eyes were bright and he suppressed his joy. The inheritance of the Gu Immortal was enough to dispel all his fatigue. He didn't feel tired at all now. He just wanted to enter the formation quickly to find the inheritance.
"Asshole!"
He was about to invite Master Wu to enter together, but he found that a ghostly figure had taken the lead and wanted to get there first.
This made him furious.
They had finally opened a passage with great effort, but before they could even get in, they were taken by someone else?
This was intolerable!
A burst of anger erupted, and the middle-aged man attacked angrily.
His strength was that of a ninth-level Gu Master. Although his attack was delayed for a moment due to excessive consumption of energy,
But he was much faster than the ghostly figure.
The other party was just relying on the fact that he was close to the gap and it happened suddenly, so it was so smooth.
As soon as the middle-aged man attacked, all his advantages disappeared and he was directly injured by him.
With a bang, the ghostly figure fell to the side.
He died without even a scream.
The middle-aged man used a killing move as soon as he attacked, in order to make an example of others.
After killing the ghostly figure, he looked around. Although he did not speak, the fierceness in his eyes made all those who wanted to be cautious tremble.
Some people who originally had ulterior motives had to give up their ideas.
"Master Wu, since this gap was opened under your guidance, are you willing to follow me in?"
The middle-aged man took the initiative to invite. He had seen Master Wu's ability.
With him, the chance of receiving the inheritance of the Gu Immortal would be much greater, and he could dodge in time when encountering danger.
Master Wu thought for a while after hearing this, and then nodded: "Then it is better to obey than to be respectful!"
In addition to Master Wu, the middle-aged man also invited several Gu Masters.
These Gu Masters are generally strong, and are basically at the level of Eighth Turn Gu Masters.
Inviting them is also a helpless move.
There were several Gu Masters from the same faction. He wanted to stop them, but he was powerless. Instead of making enemies with them, he might as well invite them to enter together to avoid hurting the relationship. He also hoped that these Gu Masters could explore the way for him.
"Yes!"
Although they knew what the middle-aged man was thinking, most of the Gu Masters could not resist the temptation of the Gu Immortal and agreed.
The first batch of people entering would get the benefits faster than the later ones, so they would naturally not give up.
After getting everyone's consent, the middle-aged man and his group planned to enter the formation.
"No, look at the formation!"
However, at this moment, a strange scene happened.
In full view of the crowd, the formation that originally covered Jiuhua Mountain disappeared in an instant.
Silently.
Extremely abrupt.
Many people were not prepared.
When they came to their senses, Jiuhua Mountain returned to its original state, and the Gu worms placed in the gap by the middle-aged man and others also disappeared.
"No, my Gu worm has lost contact with me!" (End of this chapter)
