Primordial Qi

Chapter 134 Illusion

On a mountain peak in Qingming Tianxia, three figures stood side by side. Gu Chenyu was supported by two of them in the middle, and an alchemy furnace was placed in front of them. However, the lid of the furnace was blown away for two miles, and three tall incense sticks were inserted inside.

"Brother Lin, why do you still carry Gaoxiang with you? You don't want to swear brotherhood with anyone you meet, or sleep with them at night. What good is that?"

Gu Chenyu felt like crying but had no tears. Lao Lin was usually quite flirtatious, but she didn't know if this guy had a problem with his sexual orientation.

"This is purifying incense. Lighting this incense before a breakthrough can stabilize your mind. In spiritual practice, there is a saying about burning incense, bathing, and changing clothes. It can purify the body and mind and cultivate sentiments. I like to use this thing to help me practice in seclusion on weekdays. It can improve me by at least 10% when I break through. Burning incense can also cleanse the soul. I have met many residual souls during this period, so naturally I have to get rid of the bad luck." Lin Xiu said slowly. He carried a lot of incense on him, which was of great benefit to his practice.

"Brother Xiao, your alchemy furnace is of a fairly high grade. Is it really necessary to throw away the furnace cover?" Gu Chenyu was a little confused that a fifth-grade alchemy furnace was being used as an incense burner, but Xiao Tian obviously didn't care.

"Don't you want to be our brother, or do you look down on both of us?"

“It doesn’t matter whether you look up to me or not. The main thing is that you know too much. If you don’t want to be my brother, then I will be your brother. Then I will keep your soul by my side and refine it into a weapon spirit for you.” Lin Xiu picked his nose with a look of disdain.

"As expected of a military commander, buddy is scared."

Gu Chenyu gave a bitter smile. When he was underground, he was not willing to become sworn brothers with these two guys with whom he had a serious karmic relationship. He did not expect to be pulled up directly by them.

"I appeal to Heaven above and the underworld below. Today, the three of us brothers become sworn brothers with different surnames. We should share the good and the bad together. If there is anyone who is ungrateful and disregards our brotherhood, I, Lin Xiu, will kill him." Lin Xiu said murderously. This was not a sworn brotherhood at all. He just wanted to send Xiao Tian and Gu Chenyu on their way.

"It was a mistake to let him speak first."

Xiao Tian was somewhat helpless. He picked up the incense and raised it above his head. He said solemnly, "I appeal to the Heavens and the Netherworld. Today, I, Xiao Tian, Lin Xiu, and Zhu Chenyu have become brothers of different surnames. We should share happiness and difficulties. If we betray our loyalty and forget our gratitude, we will be punished by both Heaven and Earth."

Gu Chenyu's face changed, and he silently practiced the Haoran Yangqi Jue. A righteous aura emanated from his body, which was even stronger than the other two. He raised the Qingjing incense above his head and said with great righteousness, "Today, the three of us brothers are sworn brothers. We do not worship heaven and earth, do not respect ghosts and gods, do not respect cause and effect, and do not fear the way of heaven. We swear to be brothers of the opposite sex. We do not ask to be born on the same day of the same month and year, nor do we ask to die on the same day of the same month and year. We only ask to live and die together, and share honor and disgrace."

Xiao Tian and Lin Xiu were both shocked by Gu Chenyu's righteous spirit and shouted in unison: "Brother!"

Gu Chenyu, who had somehow become the eldest brother, held their hands tightly and said excitedly, "Second brother, third brother."

Xiao Tian is naturally the second in command, and Lin Xiu will not compete with Xiao Tian for fame. He just wondered how he became a little punk in an instant. Although he felt something was wrong, he still looked excited.

Normally, this world would not be struck by thunder and lightning, but the sworn brotherhood of these three people actually brought about a thunder and lightning disaster, which blew the alchemy furnace into pieces.

"I'm afraid that what eldest brother said might have angered the Heavenly Dao, so it came here and blew up all our incense burners." Several people ate a mouthful of ashes, and Lin Xiu covered his mouth and nose while coughing.

"I've already said I'm not afraid of heaven, so why should I be afraid of him?" Gu Chenyu also cursed. He just boasted about his sworn brotherhood. Was it necessary to attract a thunder calamity?

"Second brother, third brother, we can't let those ancient souls go easily. You two go find helpers. I will go ahead and go directly to Jiulongtai to contain them." Gu Chenyu's face was solemn. This matter was of no trivial matter, so naturally they had to be contained.

After seeing Xiao Tian and the other two off, Gu Chenyu hurriedly flew into the air. The thunder tribulation came because of him, not because he had offended the way of heaven, but because Fang Yixian was going to go through the tribulation at this time.

"Old Fang, what's wrong with you? You suddenly have to go through a tribulation." Gu Chenyu was confused and asked Fang Yixian anxiously.

"The soul power contained in the Sun and Moon Spring is too huge. You and I have absorbed too much. It would be abnormal if we don't break through."

Gu Chenyu came into the air, and the thunderbolt slowly fell. Gu Chenyu felt that his soul was split apart, and nine thunderbolts hit him in a row.

Fang Yixian's soul emanated powerful fluctuations. The pain of the thunder tribulation was borne by Gu Chenyu, but the cleansing power successfully transformed her soul.

Gu Chenyu, who was struck black by the thunder, no longer dared to stay where he was. He was afraid that the thunder would strike again, so he was so scared that he hid underground and prepared to recuperate before coming out.

"Your soul is now in shape, so can it come out?" Gu Chenyu asked. Fang Yixian nodded and then appeared from Gu Chenyu's body.

Fang Yixian took a deep breath and felt the pure power between heaven and earth. She was a little intoxicated. The feeling of this power was too wonderful.

"Congratulations, you're reborn." Gu Chenyu smiled. Having reached the level of a divine soul, this guy can also take over the bodies of others.

"Well, I can't come out for too long. I've been staying in your sea of consciousness for too long. I'd better go back in." Fang Yixian sighed and turned into a wisp of white smoke and drilled into Gu Chenyu's brows.

"Come on, accompany me to Jiulongtai to see what's going on. There are quite a few ancient monks there." Gu Chenyu smiled. His blood was boiling and he wanted to find someone to learn from.

Gu Chenyu quickly arrived at the Nine Dragon Platform, where nine dragon corpses lay on the ground. There was a platform in the middle with nine dragon-shaped magic arrays carved on it.

"A world within a world?" Gu Chenyu was stunned. Could it be that there was a small world connected here, otherwise it would not look like a teleportation array.

"Never mind, let's go in and see what's going on first. If anything goes wrong, just run away. No matter how strong those ancient residual souls are, they are only at the Venerable level. There's no need to be afraid."

Gu Chenyu entered the teleportation array. At this moment, he came to another small world. An ancient voice came: "The first level is the spiritual consciousness competition."

An unpredictable spiritual power came, and Gu Chenyu easily responded. The surrounding scene changed instantly, and he came to Tian Erlong. "The second level, the physical competition."

This was not a difficult task at all. Gu Chenyu broke through the spiritual power level, weapon level, and specialty level one by one, and finally reached the sixth level, the mind level.

This is a level to test one's inner demons. As soon as Gu Chenyu stepped into it, he entered a fantasy world.

This is the Lingmu Secret Realm. The Demonic Yin Child is looking at him sinisterly with malice in his eyes. Gu Chenyu's eyes are cold. This is the first enemy he has killed. He punched out and the Demonic Yin Child was instantly beaten away.

Soon, the demon ghost boy condensed into shape again, and the enemies that Gu Chenyu thought he had killed appeared. At this time, Gu Chenyu also realized that something was wrong. These phantoms had no attack power, so he destroyed them with a simple finger.

"What's going on? This is not how you pass the Inner Demon Level. Then why are these people out here?" Gu Chenyu was puzzled, but he kept his moves and killed the enemies one by one.

Two familiar figures appeared, they were Bai Yansha and Li Tianxuan. Gu Chenyu's eyes were cold, as he actually used these two to test him.

Flames rose, and Gu Chenyu directly turned the two into ashes. He was decisive in killing, and no one appeared again for a while.

"No, no, I've been immersed in killing and my mentality has changed. This shouldn't be the case."

Gu Chenyu sat cross-legged on the ground, he put aside these distracting thoughts and slowly uttered two words: "He deserves to be killed!"

The surrounding scenery changed, Gu Chenyu opened his eyes, and found himself here was a huge battlefield. Thousands of stars were turned into dust in the blink of an eye, and several terrifying figures were shuttling through the universe. Gu Chenyu was shocked by the scene before him, and his body became stiff for a moment. Could this place be an ancient battlefield?

A woman in red was killing the enemy. She cut off the head of a bloody monster. The woman looked at Gu Chenyu and murmured something.

Gu Chenyu suddenly realized something. This inner demon barrier was not aimed at him, but trapped Fang Yixian in an illusion.
