Chapter 160: Recent situation of the clones, the first stage of the Immortal Gu is completed

"Canaan Academy, an ancient academy located in the center of the continent. For thousands of years, the peak powerhouses who walked out of here have all been existences with illustrious names on the continent and famous in one region."

"The most terrifying thing about an academy is not how strong its teaching staff is, but the thousands of powerhouses who have gone out from this academy. If one day Canaan Academy suffered a destructive crisis and those students who went out from the academy were summoned back, it is hard to imagine how terrifying this force would be."

"Although the various academies on the continent are almost countless, the reputation of Canaan Academy has never been surpassed to this day, from which it can also be seen how rich the background of this academy, which is surrounded by ancient atmosphere, is."

Xu Qi'an looked at the Little Doctor Fairy beside him and explained to her with a smile: "One of the factors that Canaan Academy can do this is because there is a Fallen Heart Flame Tower in the academy."

"This refining tower is built with Strange Fire as its source. It has great help for the students' cultivation."

The Little Doctor Fairy nodded as if she understood, "Young Master Xu, are you planning to target that Strange Fire?"

"Then with our conditions, can we enter this Canaan Academy?"

Xu Qi'an nodded confidently, "Of course."

Ever since he took the

His own Dou Qi cultivation also grew rapidly under the super-cheat that was the power of time.

Among the strange fires he was familiar with, only the Fallen Heart Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame were easier to act upon.

In order to recruit talent, he chose to come to the Canaan Academy first.

It would be another year or two before Xiao Yan collected the Green Lotus Core Flame, so he was naturally in no rush.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, the voice of Ye Ming's original body suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Stir up the situation on the Dou Qi Continent and collect living souls; the more, the better."

Just as Xu Qi'an was puzzled, along with this voice came some memories and images transmitted by Ye Ming.

While still smiling and continuing to walk forward with the Little Doctor Fairy, he split his focus to receive the information in his mind.

As the information flickered, he understood everything regarding the conversation between Lin Dong and Ye Ming, as well as the cause and effect of refining the Man As Before Immortal Gu.

When he learned the cause and effect, his expression remained unchanged, but he spoke to the Little Doctor Fairy beside him, "Let's change our route and go through the Black-Corner Region."

"It is a place where all sorts of people gather; you should be able to find the medicinal herbs you need there."

The Little Doctor Fairy did not hesitate at all and nodded in agreement.

Now with Xu Qi'an's time control, her Disastrous Poison Body was effectively controlled, and she had no need to worry about it erupting.

She only needed to improve her strength.

The Canaan Academy could be called the most top-tier institution on the Dou Qi Continent, divided into an Inner Academy and an Outer Academy.

The students recruited every year came from several major continents, but only the fifty most outstanding students from the Outer Academy could enter the Inner Academy each year.

The Inner Academy of the Canaan Academy was the place where true geniuses gathered.

At this moment, in the Inner Academy of the Canaan Academy, atop a majestic mountain peak, Long Aotian, dressed in black, stood with his hands behind his back.

Beside him sat a twelve or thirteen-year-old little girl dressed in white.

The little girl had long, pale purple hair cascading to her waist. Her cheeks were extremely fair and tender, as cute as if carved from jade, and her large, dark, watery eyes were looking up at Long Aotian.

"Brother Black Dragon, are there any more pills? I'm hungry again."

Long Aotian lowered his head, smiled, and patted her head, then took a brocade pouch from his storage ring and handed it to her.

The little girl chuckled, took the pills out of the pouch, and poured them all into her mouth as if they were candy.

Eating the pills, she muttered, "The Great Elder said I can only leave the academy when I grow up. I really want to go out and play with Brother Black Dragon."

"Brother Black Dragon, when do you think I will grow up?"

Long Aotian smiled slightly, "In a little while, you will be grown up."

Just then, Ye Ming's voice rang out in his mind.

"Find a way to incite a war between factions and collect living souls."

Following this voice was a segment of memory information and images.

Suddenly, Long Aotian's expression shifted; he closed his eyes slightly and began to receive the information transmitted by Ye Ming's original body.

Upon learning everything, black light flickered in Long Aotian's eyes.

After thinking for a while, he patted Zi Yan's head, "Zi Yan, stay in the academy and be good; I'm going to take care of some business."

After speaking, a pair of black dragon wings permeated with dragon patterns bloomed behind him. With a flap of his wings, he flew straight toward the sky.

"Hmph, going out to play secretly again, I want to go too!"

Zi Yan muttered, a pair of purple illusory wings appearing behind her. With a slight flap, she quickly chased after Long Aotian.

Central Plains.

As the core of the entire Dou Qi Continent, it possessed the One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions—the most powerful factions on the continent on the surface.

And the Soul Hall, ranked first among them, was the most mysterious and terrifying organization on the entire continent.

In a branch of the Soul Hall, Ye Gucheng, who was utilizing the rich evil power, also heard Ye Ming's voice in his mind.

"The original body certainly knows how to pick the time, but this suits my intentions perfectly." He smiled slightly, and the purple-black scale imprint on his forehead flickered gently for a moment.

Pill Tower Elder Council, Ye Family.

Chen Ping'an had just finished refining a furnace of pills using a special Gu insect flame when Ye Ming's voice rang out in his mind.

He closed his eyes to finish receiving the information, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"Just in time to use this opportunity to advance my status further."

Inside the Fox Immortal Blessed Land.

Ye Ming's eyes, deep as pools, stared fixedly at the huge, milky-white ball of light before him.

Five days had passed since the Lin Dong clone entered the Fox Immortal Blessed Land.

The first stage of his refining of this Man As Before Immortal Gu had also reached the moment of completion.

"Little Fox Immortal, three portions of Soul-Fixing Sand, quickly!"

"Understood, Master!"

Little Fox Immortal waved her small hand, accurately finding three portions of Soul-Fixing Sand from the dense array of Gu materials before her and sending them to Ye Ming.

Ye Ming waved his large hand, and all the Soul-Fixing Sand fell into the milky-white ball of light before him.

"Buzz buzz!!"

A sound emitted from the milky-white ball of light, and then, under the gaze of the few, it began to shrink rapidly.

Cold sweat appeared slightly on Ye Ming's forehead. After years of deduction and refining, even with his deep soul foundation, a sense of fatigue rose in his heart at this moment.

Even so, he did not slacken in the slightest, his fingers dancing lightly as he maintained the milky-white ball of light with soul power.

Finally, the milky-white ball of light before him compressed to the size of a fist, reaching its limit.

In an instant, with a "bang," the entire milky-white ball of light exploded, and a completely translucent white Gu insect flew out from the ball of light.

This Gu insect was only the size of a palm, completely translucent white, looking like a miniature version of a little rabbit. On this Gu insect, thick life force and death energy radiated, alternating in a cycle.

The moment he saw this Gu insect appear, Ye Ming's heart instantly became fiery.

The first stage of the Man As Before Immortal Gu was complete! The current Man As Before Immortal Gu had already completed the first step from mortal to immortal, becoming a pseudo-immortal Gu. This further verified that the Immortal Gu recipe he had deduced was successful up to this point.

He did not relax, continuing to use his soul power to form a gentle nest, letting the Gu insect fall into it, and continuing to nourish it with his soul to maintain the Gu insect's state.

"Little Fox Immortal, go wake Lin Dong up." Ye Ming smiled at Little Fox Immortal and spoke softly.

"Okay, Master!"

Little Fox Immortal skipped over to the side of the Soul-Calming Lake, and seeing Lin Dong, who was still fast asleep after drinking the Soul-Calming Wine, a smile appeared on her flushed little face.

She landed beside Lin Dong, stretched out her small hand, gently pinched Lin Dong's nose, and called out crisply, "Clone Master, wake up!!"

Lin Dong's nose twitched, and he opened his eyes, bleary with sleep.

Seeing the Little Fox Immortal before him, he pulled out a smile and said groggily, "Little Fox Immortal, how long have I slept?"

"Clone Master has already slept for three days, Master is calling for you."

Lin Dong nodded, got up, and shook his head, thoroughly shaking the last trace of confusion from his mind.

Sensing his increased soul foundation, he felt a surge of joy and immediately stepped into the air to fly toward the distance.

A few breaths later, Lin Dong arrived before Ye Ming.

Looking at the white Gu insect before Ye Ming, he understood in his heart that this first stage had been successfully refined.

"Let me do it!"

Lin Dong nodded, and rich soul power surged out, merging into Ye Ming's soul power.

They were of the same root and origin, and when the soul power of the two merged, there was not the slightest sense of stagnation.

Soon, Lin Dong's soul power took control, taking over the nourishment of the Man As Before Gu insect.

Ye Ming also took the opportunity to withdraw his own soul power.

Only then did he let out a light sigh of relief.

He sensed the state within his Immortal Aperture; there was still some time left before the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

With a flash of his figure, he arrived directly before the Soul-Calming Lake.

Continuously deducing the Immortal Gu recipe and the single-minded refining of the Gu insect had caused his spirit to feel a sense of fatigue.

Although his soul power was not depleted, the mental fatigue could not be ignored. He was about to face the Heavenly Tribulation, so he dared not take it lightly.

"Little Fox Immortal, remember to wake me up at this time tomorrow."

After saying this to Little Fox Immortal, he drank a mouthful of Soul-Calming Wine and fell asleep.

"Okay! Master."

Little Fox Immortal responded with a smile, went straight to Ye Ming's side, took out a fox fur coat, and covered him with it.

Then she squatted to the side, propping up her small hands, and stared fixedly at Ye Ming with her bright, watery eyes.

Her little mouth pouted, and she murmured, "Although Master has many clone masters, this master is still the best!"

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Little Fox Immortal gently shook Ye Ming awake on time.

"Hoo~"

Exhaling a white stream of air, Ye Ming felt the previous fatigue swept away in an instant, and his whole person was fully restored.

It had to be said that the soul-calming effect of the Soul-Calming Lake was indeed very powerful.

Glancing at Lin Dong, who was nourishing the Gu insect in the distance, Ye Ming's mind moved, and he sent a message to several clones.

"Stir up the situation on the Dou Qi Continent and collect living souls; the more, the better."

In just half a year, several clones, relying on their own powerful strength, already possessed a certain degree of influence within the major organizations.

When these things were combined, they could collide to produce intense sparks.

Raising his left hand to check the Samsara Watch, Ye Ming found that the number of aliens on it was over a hundred fewer than at the beginning.

Besides the unlucky ones who fell at the hands of these original characters on the Dou Qi Continent, it was likely that many aliens had also been harvested by the human race.

However, Ye Ming could also calculate that the losses on the human side were definitely more miserable than those of the aliens.

But at this critical juncture, he had no time to worry about these things. He still had to pass the Heavenly Tribulation in his Immortal Aperture before worrying about anything else.

As for tracking the aliens, as long as the waters of the Dou Qi Continent were thoroughly muddied, there would always be big fish that couldn't hold back and would surface.

Opening the portal to the Fox Immortal Blessed Land, Ye Ming walked out slowly.

Looking at the exploding volcano and the shattered earth outside, he raised his eyebrows, "Lin Dong clone, you really know how to pick a place."

Sensing Lin Dong's memories, Ye Ming looked around and whispered, "Magical Beast Mountain Range? It counts as a good place."

The strongest magical beast in the mountain range had already been dealt with by Lin Dong, and moreover, there were no hidden experts in the entire Gama Empire.

Facing the Heavenly Tribulation here, at least he didn't have to worry about being disturbed by external factors.

As for the magical beasts currently in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, if they were blind enough to bump into him while he was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be like a moth to a flame, seeking their own death.

"I possess the Great Strength True Martial Body; when undergoing the Ascension Tribulation, the disaster was already terrifying, and this current Heavenly Disaster is definitely unimaginable."

This was Ye Ming's first time undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, and the pressure in his heart was great.

If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, he would not want to undergo the tribulation so quickly.

Although disasters would occur in the Immortal Aperture every once in a while, Gu Immortals also had many methods to delay the arrival of disasters.

With the refining of the Immortal Gu imminent, he could not spare the focus to delay the arrival of the disaster.

Fortunately, with the help of his clones, he could have a chance to buffer.

"Hoo~"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Ye Ming's body shook slightly, and the Immortal Aperture within his body suddenly underwent a mysterious change.

"Immortal Aperture, descend!" Ye Ming's eyes burst with light, and he spoke in a low shout.

A roar seemed to ring in his ears, and then his vision changed drastically. Looking closely, he was already within his own Force Path Immortal Aperture.

Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Aperture is entrusted to the Gu Immortal's physical body. But at this moment, the Immortal Aperture had descended into the external Heaven and Earth, instead wrapping his physical body inside it.

Ye Ming looked at the Force Path Immortal Aperture before him, a sense of emotion rising in his heart.

The current Force Path Immortal Aperture was vast, and its resources were far better than they were at the beginning.

It was precisely because of this that every tribulation was a gamble for a Gu Immortal.

If the tribulation was passed smoothly, the Blessed Land would suffer excessive loss, and the Gu Immortal's combat power would also be severely crippled.

If the disaster was not passed, then naturally, the body would die and the Dao would vanish, everything becoming nothingness.

At this moment, dense swarms of Gu insects flew out from all parts of the Immortal Aperture, gathering into patches of dark clouds and hovering behind him.

A hundred years had passed in the Force Path Immortal Aperture. After devouring the Douluo Star and accepting the Soul Masters and Soul Beasts on it, changing them to the Gu Master system, results had now been achieved.

In the entire Immortal Aperture, there were already hundreds of millions of mortal Gu insects.

And Ye Ming was the god who controlled all of this.

One chapter today, to buffer and rest a bit.
