Chapter 45: Honest Little Gentleman

Center of the stone cave.

Zhang Xingyu carefully looked at the stone pillar in front of him.

Sure enough, there is a mystery.

In the middle section of the stone pillar, there is a square small hole, inside the hole is hidden a jade furnace the size of a thumb.

This jade furnace is crystal clear, and there is divine light flowing inside.

Good stuff.

This must be the God Furnace made of Soul-Nurturing Jade.

The God Furnace is here, which is equivalent to saving the cultivation of the upper part of "God Furnace Soul Refining", as long as there is God Fire, you can refine God Yuan.

God Fire?

How to get God Fire?

Right, the golden fog should have the method to get God Fire.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingyu's divine thought moved, and his divine sense returned to the God Court again.

"System, omnipotent system, do you have the method to practice God Fire?" Zhang Xingyu asked the system.

"Ding dong, activating the God Fire cultivation method requires one hundred thousand God Yuan Values." The system answered.

Damn.

Always asking for one hundred thousand God Yuan Values. You are too black!

Zhang Xingyu secretly said, and no longer paid attention to this black-hearted system.

He turned to the golden fog and said: "Golden Fog, to practice 'God Furnace Soul Refining', besides the God Furnace, there must be God Fire. You tell the method of practicing God Fire completely and correctly, and the deal between us will be reached. Later I will let you go."

"Are you lying to a ghost?" The golden fog was full of disbelief.

"Don't believe it. Or, I'll take the Heavenly Dao oath again, guaranteeing we won't kill you, how about that?" Zhang Xingyu was not in a hurry.

The golden fog snorted coldly and didn't answer.

"I'm telling you the truth, don't believe it. At worst, I'll take the oath first. Listen, I swear to Heaven, if Golden Fog can tell me the method of practicing God Fire completely and correctly, I will not kill this group of golden fog. If this oath is violated, Heaven will punish and Earth will destroy!"

Zhang Xingyu's oath was read very slowly, and the golden fog listened word by word. After a long time, the golden fog said unwillingly: "The method of practicing God Fire, I can give it to you. However, you must let me out first."

"No negotiation. Say the method first, after I confirm it's correct, I'll let you go." Zhang Xingyu didn't retreat at all.

The golden fog was silent.

A moment later, he cursed softly: "You kid, you are simply a devil who eats people without spitting out bones!"

Zhang Xingyu laughed: "Are you human?"

"Uh!" The golden fog was speechless, turned his head and didn't look at Zhang Xingyu.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "I will project the method of practicing God Fire, you see for yourself. I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise the Heavenly Dao will definitely punish you."

Zhang Xingyu nodded and said loudly: "Rest assured, brother, I am an 'honest little gentleman who doesn't cheat children or old people, and convinces people with virtue'. What I say has always been one spit and one nail. As long as you hand over the method of practicing God Fire, I will immediately let you out of the God Court, never breaking my word."

The golden fog saw this and no longer hesitated.

A moment later, Zhang Xingyu's God Court projected a section of golden characters again: "God Fire, is the fire of the God Soul. Use God Yuan as fuel, use God Thought as fire seed. Want to light God Fire, first raise fire seed. Fire seed...".

Damn.

This God Fire actually uses God Yuan as fuel.

God Yuan hasn't been refined yet, and it has to consume a lot.

This is still fine.

To generate a fire seed, the practitioner actually needs to collide two groups of God Thoughts violently to explode and produce it.

"Golden Fog, this method of yours to practice fire seeds, aren't you trying to pit me? Two groups of God Thoughts collide and explode, won't it blow my God Court to pieces?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"No, as long as your God Court is strong enough, it won't explode. When I practiced God Fire back then, my God Court only cracked a small opening. I cultivated for ten thousand years, and that's how I repaired it." The golden fog explained.

"Sun!"

Zhang Xingyu was furious.

God Court cracked a small opening, and it took ten thousand years to repair?

Brother is not a turtle, can brother live that long?

"Uh..." The golden fog was speechless.

He forgot that the person standing in front of him was just a mortal.

A moment later, he roared at Zhang Xingyu again: "I don't care, can't practice, that's your problem. I handed over the God Secret, you must let me out immediately, otherwise it's violating the Heavenly Dao oath."

Damn! Careless, just now careless.

Zhang Xingyu cursed secretly.

"System, system, is the consequence of violating the Heavenly Dao oath very serious?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Ding dong, violating the Heavenly Dao oath, light is the path of cultivation broken, heavy is the divine soul destroyed." The system prompted.

So serious.

Forget it, brother is an honest little gentleman, most particular about convincing people with virtue. I don't do things like deceiving old people, and I definitely won't do things like violating the Heavenly Dao oath.

So, Zhang Xingyu said to the golden fog: "You go. I'll let you go."

The golden fog was very happy to hear this. Finally going to leave this damn place.

He said to Zhang Xingyu triumphantly: "You kid are sensible. Now open the Heavenly Gate and let me out."

Heavenly Gate?

What kind of thing is the Heavenly Gate?

Damn, this old glass is bullying me because I'm a cultivation rookie and don't understand professional cultivation terms.

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. But Zhang Xingyu still opened his mouth to ask. As a rookie, the biggest taboo is not understanding but pretending to understand. The ancestors once said, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, this is knowing.

So, he asked the golden fog: "What is the Heavenly Gate?"

The golden fog stared at Zhang Xingyu, as if looking at an alien: "You don't even know the Heavenly Gate?"

Zhang Xingyu nodded: "Indeed!"

The golden fog sprayed a mouthful of golden fog, never thought that I, a dignified God Servant, would actually fall into the hands of a mortal who doesn't even know the Heavenly Gate!

"Hey! Don't be busy spitting blood! You haven't told me what the Heavenly Gate is!"

A quarter of an hour later, the golden fog finally spat out the old blood stuck in his chest. He stopped for a while before opening his mouth to answer: "The human God Court has two major portals, the Heavenly Gate and the Earth Gate. The Heavenly Gate connects to the outside of the body, the Earth Gate connects to the inside of the body. The Heavenly Gate is above the God Court, it's where I came in back then."

"Oh, so the Heavenly Gate is the center of the eyebrows." Zhang Xingyu expressed understanding.

The golden fog had the urge to slap Zhang Xingyu: "Saying it's the center of the eyebrows is not entirely correct. Accurately speaking, the Heavenly Gate is the portal connecting the God Court to the outside world. Alright, kid, hurry up and use your divine thought to communicate with the Heavenly Gate, then push it open and let me out!"

Zhang Xingyu curled his lips: "You came in by yourself when you came? Now you don't know how to go out?"

The golden fog felt that he had suffered internal injuries: "When I came, my divine body was solid, soul power full; but now?"

Seeing that the golden fog didn't speak, Zhang Xingyu said again: "That, please ask again, what about the Earth Gate? How to open it?".

"Explore it yourself when you have time! Hurry up and open the Heavenly Gate and let me out." The golden fog lost control of his emotions, crying and roaring.

"Roar what roar. You're old, and you still cry all day long, you're embarrassed. Wait here, I'll go sense the Heavenly Gate now." Zhang Xingyu wanted to roar back at this old glass. I don't know why, but his heart suddenly softened.

The God Court is like a pitch-black night sky.

No moonlight, no starlight, can't distinguish west from east.

Zhang Xingyu tried to find the Heavenly Gate.

His divine soul became thinner and thinner, longer and longer, darker and darker.

Thoughts drifted out with the divine soul silk.

As if traveling through the vast universe, as if crossing the endless time and space, his thoughts came to the end of the God Court.

There, there was a golden shining archway.

No gilded decoration, no flickering runes, just a simple and unadorned archway.

Heavenly Gate?

Is this the Heavenly Gate?

Zhang Xingyu's thoughts came to the front of the Heavenly Gate, wanting to push it open.

The Heavenly Gate didn't move at all.

Damn bear! Push again.

The Heavenly Gate still didn't move.

A moment later, Zhang Xingyu's thoughts returned to the divine soul.

"Golden Fog, I found the Heavenly Gate, but no matter how I push, I can't push it open." Zhang Xingyu said to the golden fog with helplessness.

"It's not asking you to push hard, but asking you to communicate with the Heavenly Gate. That is your Heavenly Gate, as long as you find the right method, you can easily push it open." The golden fog frowned.

"So that's how it is. Then you wait here, I'll go try again." After speaking, Zhang Xingyu's thoughts flew towards the Heavenly Gate again.

Thoughts came to the front of the Heavenly Gate, stopped for a while, and then gently probed on the Heavenly Gate.

On this Heavenly Gate, there were actually eight golden characters engraved.

Heaven, Earth, Qian, Kun, Yin, Yang, Open, Close.

What is going on?

Thoughts flew towards these eight characters, and in a moment, they touched all eight characters.

The Heavenly Gate still didn't move.

Still not right. It seems there is another mystery.

Could it be playing a word game?

Zhang Xingyu's thoughts flashed again.

Heaven Qian Earth Kun, Heaven Yang Earth Yin.

Heaven, the corresponding characters are Qian and Yang.

Could the mantra to open the door be "Heaven, Qian, Yang, Open".

Just thinking of this, the golden light on the Heavenly Gate flickered.

A moment later, the Heavenly Gate actually slowly opened a gap.

Zhang Xingyu was overjoyed.

Since the mantra to open the door is "Heaven, Qian, Yang, Open", then the mantra to close the door is mostly "Heaven, Qian, Yang, Close".

"Heaven, Qian, Yang, Close". Zhang Xingyu's thoughts flashed again.

A moment later, the Heavenly Gate slowly closed again.

Interesting.

Zhang Xingyu experimented again, and then returned to the golden fog again.

"Back so soon. Could it be, you still didn't find the method to open the Heavenly Gate. You mortal, you are really stupid." The golden fog said unhappily.

"Who said I didn't open it."

"Really opened it. Impossible, so fast. Thinking back, I, this dignified God Servant, was clever, and it took me a month to open the Heavenly Gate for the first time. How long has it been for you, and you opened the Heavenly Gate?" The golden fog looked full of disbelief.

"Believe it or not. Tell you, I've already opened the door. If you don't leave, wait for the door to close, don't regret it." Zhang Xingyu reminded.

Hearing him say this, the golden fog didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Golden light flashed, the golden fog returned to the stone cave again.

A moment later, he cried and howled loudly: "My God Furnace, my God Furnace..." ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
