Chapter 35

Inside the Clear Sky Sect, after some emergency treatment, Tang Xiao finally managed to pull the Fifth Elder back from the gates of hell.

He looked at the Fifth Elder lying on the bed with a withered aura and asked with a frown: "Elder, what exactly is going on?"

"Were Tang Tian and Tang Yeming and the dozens of disciples all killed by those two from the Spirit Hall?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" The Fifth Elder coughed a few times, his thoughts turning rapidly.

Everyone who knew about this matter, except for Tang Yeming, was already dead.

If he told the truth, even if he were an elder, he would still be punished.

If he pushed all these things onto the Spirit Hall and then dealt with Tang Yeming privately, this matter could be successfully covered up.

"Yes! It was all done by Yue Guan and Gui Mei!"

The Fifth Elder said weakly: "They snuck into the sect, and after killing the disciples, they wanted to escape. In my anxiety, I didn't have time to notify the sect and chased after them."

"I didn't expect that even after using the sect's forbidden technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer mystery, I still couldn't keep the two of them."

He said to Tang Xiao, full of guilt, "Sect Master, I'm sorry..."

Tang Xiao raised his hand to stop his apology and comforted him: "Things have come to this, I will personally seek revenge from the Spirit Hall for this!"

"The Great Sumeru Hammer mystery is difficult to use unless one has a strong body and is a top genius. This is also why the outside world thinks that only the Clear Sky Douluo of each generation of the Clear Sky Sect has this technique."

"You have suffered backlash, so just rest and recover!"

Tang Xiao sighed; the Clear Sky Sect was truly full of disasters!......

The Star Dou Great Forest covers a vast area, almost equal to the territory of the Bala Kingdom, spanning the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, of which two-fifths of the area is in the Heaven Dou Empire, and the other three-fifths is in the Star Luo Empire.

The terrain inside the forest is complex, with wetlands, swamps, etc.

According to the distribution of soul beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest is divided into five areas: Edge Zone → Outer Circle → Mixed Circle → Core Circle → Great Fierce Land!

The closer to the center of the forest, the stronger the soul beasts.

At this time, in a patch of grass covered with Blue Silver Grass in the outer circle, two hundred-year-old Soft Bone Rabbits were overlapping, contributing to the breeding cause of the Star Dou Great Forest soul beasts.

"Whoosh!!"

A sound came from the sky, and a white bone bird flew down with a 'whoosh', crashing directly into the Blue Silver Grass, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ye Ming walked out of the dust, looked at the two yellow hundred-year soul rings floating on the ground, and silently said an apology.

The Footless Bird was a one-time consumable Gu, and now it was completely damaged, with no possibility of repair.

Kicking the two rabbits blocking the way aside, Ye Ming identified the direction and walked towards the center of the forest.

Although his soul power level had reached level 30, he only needed to hunt a soul beast to break through to a Soul Elder.

However, what was more important right now was to find a place to claim the rewards first and improve his Gu Master cultivation, which was the right path!

Soon, he found a hidden cave, which also contained a Wind-Treading Tiger that had just broken through to the thousand-year level.

Ye Ming directly beheaded it with a Moon Blade and occupied the cave.

"This Wind-Treading Tiger has good strength in this area, and since its aura exists here, no soul beasts will come to disturb me for a short time."

Ye Ming thought to himself that the Star Dou Great Forest was vast, and there were no traces of soul masters walking in this area, so it was still safe for a short time.

After moving a giant rock to block the cave entrance, he went straight into the cave and summoned the Blood Skull Gu that had absorbed the blood of thirty-seven disciples.

The Blood Skull Gu flew to the top of his head, opened its mouth, and a blood spring with a clear fragrance flowed out, which then merged into his aperture.

Ye Ming was now a 70% Grade B aptitude, Rank 2 intermediate Gu Master, and the scarlet true essence in his true essence sea reached 70% of the sea surface.

After the blood spring entered the aperture, the sea surface suddenly churned, and some Gu insects that were still playing dived into the bottom of the sea with a 'whoosh'.

His aptitude also began to grow slowly! 71%, 72%... 77%!

After the true essence sea increased to 77%, the blood spring in the aperture disappeared. "Only increased by 7% aptitude." Ye Ming rubbed his chin, "The further back you go, the harder it is to improve this aptitude!"

"There aren't many people left in the Clear Sky Sect, I hope absorbing them all can raise it to Grade A aptitude!"

Putting the Blood Skull Gu back into his aperture, Ye Ming tilted his head slightly, making a listening gesture.

As a wisp of true essence surged in his body, his right ear grew slightly larger.

This was the reward for reaching 30% roleplay progress, Rank 3 Gu, Shunfeng Ear Gu!

It could detect movements within a thousand-meter radius, which was a good detection-type Gu! After confirming there were no abnormalities around, Ye Ming quickly stopped using it.

"I now have 77% scarlet true essence, but using Rank 3 Gu is still a bit of a stretch."

"Must improve cultivation as soon as possible!"

Escaping too hastily before, Ye Ming had only roughly checked the rewards for reaching 40% roleplay progress.

Now that he had time, he checked it carefully again.

【Refining Dao Venerable roleplay progress has reached 40%. Reward: one soul tempering at Danghun Shan, one Spirit Spring baptism, 50,000 Primeval Stones, one Rank 3 Precious Moon Gu, and one Rank 3 Wind Moon Wheel Gu.】

"I have already experienced the Spirit Spring baptism before, it can temper the body and improve cultivation!"

"Danghun Shan?"

Ye Ming's breathing became a little heavier; Danghun Shan produced Gallstone Gu, which could strengthen a person's soul.

He lacked means in this regard, and this reward came just in time! "System, claim rewards!"

【Ding, Primeval Stones have been issued to the system storage space, Gu insects are being issued...】

Two Gu insects appeared, Ye Ming raised his hand to hold them, and with a move of his true essence, he refined them instantly.

The Precious Moon Gu was the size of a thumb, like a flat moon wheel, emitting a faint moonlight.

This was an auxiliary Moon Path Gu, similar to the Little Light Gu, but much more powerful than the Little Light Gu, capable of increasing the power of all Moon Path Gu by three times! Most importantly, this Precious Moon Gu could be refined with the Yue Nishang into the Rank 4 Baoyue Nishang Gu! Above the Baoyue Nishang Gu was the Rank 5 Precious Moon Light King Gu!

After refining, the Precious Moon Gu flew directly to the back of Ye Ming's head and hid.

He looked at the Wind Moon Wheel Gu again, and a smile appeared on his face.

The Wind Moon Wheel Gu was a mobility Gu, and after refining, it dived directly to the soles of his feet to hide.

"The way of Gu insects is strange and varied. But I now possess attack, defense, detection, and mobility Gu, and I have the system storage space for storage; I'm still missing a healing Gu, so I've barely managed to put together a set."

"There are many materials in the Star Dou Great Forest; during this period, besides obtaining the third soul ring, I must also find a way to refine a healing Gu."

【Ding, Spirit Spring baptism begins!】

Just as Ye Ming was thinking, the scene before him suddenly changed.

The same Spirit Spring waterfall appeared, and he jumped onto the stone platform below the Spirit Spring very familiarly.

The rich Spirit Spring rushed down, tempering his limbs and bones.

Under this tempering, Ye Ming's physique and strength slowly improved again! At the same time, a wisp of dark red true essence was produced in the scarlet true essence in his body.

Time passed quietly, and when the Spirit Spring at the top of the waterfall stopped, Ye Ming felt that his strength had improved significantly!

His cultivation also rushed to Rank 2 high-grade during the baptism! When he returned to the cave, a curve appeared at the corner of Ye Ming's mouth. He hadn't forgotten that there was still a Red Iron Relic Gu in his aperture.

But for now, let's see what the Danghun Shan soul tempering is like.

Just then, the system prompt sounded,

【Ding, Danghun Shan soul tempering is opening...】
