Chapter 340: Fifth-Tier Book Gu: The Kingdom Within the Book, the Gu of Qi Luck

One month later.

Piaomiao Palace had also completely relocated to Xuanhuang Island.

Of course, the original disciples of Xuanhuang Sect also began to move into Xuanhuang Island.

Xuanhuang Island, which had originally been in a state of ruins, began to bustle with activity at this very moment, filled with the sounds of people.

After all, for Zhou Sui, it was truly too extravagant and completely unnecessary for a dozen or so people to occupy a massive island with a diameter of over one million kilometers.

A large population was still needed to move in before Xuanhuang Island could be thoroughly developed.

Otherwise, leaving so many areas desolate would be too much of a waste.

Numerous Xuanhuang Sect disciples also began to plant Spirit Medicine, plant Spirit Rice, raise Spirit Fish, and raise Spirit Beasts on the island; after all, these were all cultivation resources required by Cultivators.

They couldn't just keep buying them from the outside world.

These renewable cultivation resources still needed to be under their own control.

In the previously abandoned areas, towering Immortal Palaces and numerous buildings were now being constructed.

One mountain peak after another began to be occupied by Nascent Soul Cultivators, who set up Array Formations and built Immortal Palaces upon them.

And the former Piaomiao Palace became Piaomiao Peak, belonging to one of the branches of Xuanhuang Sect.

…………

At this very moment, in a Cave Abode on Xuanhuang Peak.

"Done."

"Finally refined these two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures."

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground with a joyful expression on his face; the Five Dragon Guillotine and the Qingluan True Fire Mirror, two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, floated in mid-air, having established a connection with his Soul.

It could be said that these two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures had also been completely controlled by him.

Spending one month of time, he utilized Heart Eye Identifying Objects to comprehend the Treasure-Passing Art within them.

Even without the Treasure-Passing Art of the Jiaolong Clan and the Demon Phoenix Clan, he still comprehended the Treasure-Passing Art, logically and smoothly refining these two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures completely and making them his own.

After refining them, he immediately sensed the formidable nature of these two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures.

Among them, the Five Dragon Guillotine was simply a Dharma Treasure of unparalleled slaughter; it could unleash a terrifying Cold Glow that could easily tear apart all matter, and even a Spirit Severing Venerable would find it difficult to withstand the Cold Glow within it.

If driven to the extreme, it was feared that even an ordinary Five-Tier Array barrier would be shattered by a single strike.

This Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure contained Ancient Jiaolong Power and was extremely formidable.

It was worthy of being the clan-protecting treasure of the Jiaolong Clan; it was indeed quite powerful.

As for the Qingluan True Fire Mirror, there was even less need to mention it.

As the clan-protecting supreme treasure of the Demon Phoenix Race, it contained the power of Qingluan True Fire, which was one of the Ten Great Demon Fires of the Ancient Demon World, capable of repelling evil and burning all things.

It was said to come from the true fire within the body of the Divine Beast Qingluan race, and its power was infinite.

Its might was equivalent to the Three-Flavor True Fire.

It was a pity that the Fourth-tier Beast of the Demon Phoenix Race from before had not fully unleashed the power of this Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

Once it could be activated, an area of tens of thousands of miles would be scorched by the Qingluan True Fire, forming a boundless sea of fire.

Wherever the Qingluan True Fire reached, everything would be reduced to ashes and burned to nothingness.

"Tsk tsk, these two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures are so powerful."

"If the Jiaolong Clan and the Demon Phoenix Race knew they had fallen into my hands."

"I fear they would spare no cost to snatch them back."

"It is a pity that ordinary Fourth-tier Beasts coming to seek revenge are purely courting death."

"If a Fifth-tier Beast were dispatched, the Boundary Gate still would not allow entry."

"Which is to say, I am still very safe in the short term."

"There is absolutely no need to worry about the threat from the Jiaolong Clan and the Demon Phoenix Race."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

His cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, making him the strongest in the entire Canglan Sea.

As long as no Spirit Severing Venerable appeared, he was invincible.

Even if a Spirit Severing Venerable truly took action, as long as he sat in command within a Five-Tier Array, the opponent could do nothing to him.

It could be said that he was now in an invincible position.

"But I cannot let my guard down."

"I must still rapidly improve my cultivation."

"It would be best to ascend to the Spirit Severing realm; only then can I deal with all threats."

"Right, I seem to have obtained a wisp of Ancient Demon Qi; I wonder if it has any use for me."

At this time, Zhou Sui also remembered that he had obtained a wisp of Ancient Demon Qi in Jiaolong City.

It was said that this was a wisp of Origin from the Ancient Demon World, containing infinite mysteries.

It was a pity that Ancient Demon Qi only had great use for the Demon Race.

If an ordinary Monster Beast obtained a wisp of Ancient Demon Qi, it would have a very good chance of becoming a Spirit Severing Venerable.

But if it fell into the hands of a Human Race Cultivator, it was purely a chicken rib.

Tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.

So he had temporarily sealed this wisp of Ancient Demon Qi in a jade bottle, wanting to see if it would have any other effects in the future.

Thinking of this, he took out the bottle from his person.

His divine sense gently sensed it.

Boom~~

Instantly, Zhou Sui sensed that deep within this wisp of Ancient Demon Qi, dense phantoms of Monster Beasts seemed to emerge—birds, beasts, and fish—as if it encompassed the races of the entire Ancient Demon World.

Vaguely, it seemed as if countless Monster Beasts were roaring toward the sky above the vast land.

It even seemed to have consciousness, wanting to burrow into his own body, attempting to reshape his Human physique so as to transform him into an Ancient Demon physique.

"Ancient Demon Qi is indeed evil."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

This wisp of Ancient Demon Qi was indeed of little use to a Human Cultivator, and even carried immense danger.

Because Human Cultivators cultivate Immortal Source Qi, which conflicts with Ancient Demon Qi.

If one were merely a Qi Refining Cultivator, even if they switched to cultivating as a Demon Race, it would not be much of a problem.

But having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, the foundation is long since set; it is fundamentally impossible to change one's foundation.

Forcing an absorption would only destroy the foundation within the body, leading to one's death and the dissipation of their Dao.

"Right, Ancient Demon Qi is of little use to me, that is all."

"But what about the Gu Insects?"

"Perhaps my Gu Insects can devour this wisp of Ancient Demon Qi."

At this moment, Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and he thought of the thirteen Gu Insects on his person.

After all, the Gu Insects on him are not Human, but another species, neither Demon, nor Human, nor magic.

He did not know if they could devour Ancient Demon Qi.

Thinking of this, he decided to give it a try; in any case, trying would not result in a loss.

If it succeeded, then the benefits gained would be quite immense.

Suddenly, the Gu Insects on his body flew out in an instant, floating in mid-air.

Immediately, they also sensed the Ancient Demon Qi sealed within the bottle at the first moment.

They immediately transmitted a wave of longing emotions to Zhou Sui; it seemed that this wisp of Ancient Demon Qi indeed held immense benefits for them.

Boom~~

Before Zhou Sui could even say anything, one of the Gu Insects suddenly flew out, swallowed the jade bottle in one gulp, and immediately claimed this wisp of Ancient Demon Qi as its own.

He looked closely and saw that the Gu Insect that had acted was actually the Book Gu.

Originally, the Book Gu was very quiet, without joy or sorrow, but at this moment it had actually taken the initiative to act, completely devoid of its usual calmness.

The other Gu Insects were stunned; they had not expected the Book Gu to act so decisively, and each felt it was beyond their expectations.

But the matter had reached this point, and even the Ancient Demon Qi had been swallowed into the other's belly.

They were helpless and could only accept it.

As for Zhou Sui, he also felt it was completely indifferent; in any case, they were all his own Gu Insects.

No matter which one gained the benefit, it was as it should be.

Rumble~~~

At this moment, the Book Gu, having devoured the Ancient Demon Qi, was as if it had taken some great tonic; the energy within its body was rising crazily at an astonishing speed.

Originally, its cultivation had already reached the Tier 4 Upper Grade realm.

It had also devoured many precious books and Inheritance Jade Slips.

Now, having obtained this wisp of Ancient Demon Qi, its cultivation progressed even more rapidly, and the aura on its body climbed step by step.

Boom~~

It was unknown how much time had passed when an astonishing aura erupted from the Book Gu, seemingly releasing Domain Power.

Fortunately, the Cave Abode was protected by a Forbidden Array, otherwise this power would certainly have affected the entire island.

Causing a disturbance among countless Cultivators.

Fifth-Tier Inferior!

In this instant, Zhou Sui sensed a wave of massive information coming from the Book Gu; clearly, the Book Gu had advanced from the Tier 4 Upper Grade realm to the Fifth-Tier Inferior.

It could be said that this was simply a qualitative leap, beyond imagination.

If calculated according to the cultivation of Human Cultivators, that would belong to a Spirit Severing Venerable.

One can imagine that the current strength of the Book Gu's cultivation had reached an inconceivable degree.

"Fifth-Tier Book Gu, it has already obtained a further evolution."

"Now, the internal space of the Book Gu has evolved into a Virtual Book Kingdom."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

His divine sense entered the internal space of the Book Gu at the first moment, and he immediately sensed that the internal virtual space of the Book Gu at this very moment was more than ten thousand times larger than before.

If it were a Fourth-Tier Book Gu, then it would only be a city within a book.

But now, it had actually formed a kingdom within a book.

In the vast virtual space, cities appeared, as well as many villages and small towns.

Yet these villages, these counties, and these cities were all formed by individual books.

If it were a First-tier book, it would form a village.

A Second-tier book could form a county.

A Third-tier book could transform into a small city.

Only a Fourth-Tier book could become a large city.

As for a Fifth-Tier book, it could become an imperial capital.

"Interesting."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

He sensed that the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra seemed to have formed a massive Heart Demon City, inside which lived countless Heart Demons; they became the residents here, and the entire city was permeated with black Heart Demon Qi, extremely eerie and gloomy.

The True Dragon Sword Art, meanwhile, had transformed into a True Dragon City; looking at it from afar, it was as if a True Dragon were crouching on the ground, permeated with the aura of a True Dragon, making one's heart tremble with fear.

The Withered Glory Profound Light Art transformed into a Black-White City, containing the aura of life and death, as if it were on the boundary line between life and death, extremely eerie.

The Five Elements Thunder Method formed a Thunder City, where the sky was covered in dark clouds, and from time to time, bolts of Five Elements Tribulation Thunder would fall, roaring and rumbling with thunderous sounds.

The Five Elements Alchemy Formula formed an Alchemy City, inside which giant pill furnaces appeared; from time to time, people would be refining pills inside, and the fragrance of the medicine was pungent.

The Tongtian Refining Treasure Art transformed into a Refining City; the entire city was as if cast from steel, and dense crowds of Puppets appeared inside, acting like artificial intelligence, able to walk freely.

Every top-tier technique transformed into a city within the book, containing infinite mysteries.

"So that's how it is. A Book Gu that has advanced to the Fifth-tier realm actually has such a function?!"

"Can it already help me cultivate techniques?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Previously, when the Book Gu devoured various Immortal Cultivation inheritances, it only helped him memorize these technique inheritances.

If he wanted to comprehend them, he still needed to rely on the comprehension ability provided by the Book Gu.

But now, after the Book Gu has swallowed these books, it can automatically help the Host understand these technique inheritances.

In the future, the Host won't even need to comprehend them personally; the Book Gu can help with the comprehension.

Of course, the speed of comprehending these technique inheritances is naturally not as fast as the Host doing it personally.

"Wait, and the Fifth-tier Book Gu can already gestate Sub-Gu."

"These Sub-Gu are equivalent to individual interfaces."

"They can attract the Souls of all living beings into the Virtual Book Kingdom."

"Allowing many Cultivators to enter the Virtual Book Kingdom to receive the inheritance techniques within."

"Even the memories of these Cultivators comprehending techniques, as well as their cultivation experience, can be left within the Book Gu."

"Moreover, these precious cultivation memories can be kept inside the Book Gu, transforming into individual virtual characters."

Zhou Sui's eyes lit up instantly, and he felt very excited.

Clearly, if the Book Gu wants to continue growing, it is not as simple as just devouring the many inheritance techniques and secret manuals in the world; after all, these techniques and manuals were actually created by Cultivators of past generations.

They all come from the wisdom of all living beings.

Therefore, for a Book Gu that has grown to the Fifth-tier realm, ordinary technique knowledge no longer has much effect on its growth.

At this time, if it wants to grow, it needs to obtain the cultivation knowledge of all living beings, as well as their insights into knowledge.

Only by obtaining the wisdom of all living beings can it grow rapidly and become a true Book Immortal.

By then, the Book Gu will not just be limited to the simple, rigid acquisition of external cultivation knowledge.

It can even create top-tier techniques based on countless pieces of basic cultivation knowledge.

From simple copying to creation, this is a qualitative improvement.

"In other words, I can completely leave behind Sub-Gu of the Book Gu within the Xuanhuang Sect, and then it can become the Scripture Pavilion of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"In this way, every Disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect can enter the Virtual Book Kingdom."

"To obtain the inheritance knowledge from the Book Gu."

"In this case, with the constraints of the Book Gu, it is impossible for any Xuanhuang Sect Disciple to leak the core inheritance of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"More importantly, they can also leave their own cultivation experience within the Book Gu, thereby promoting the growth of the Book Gu."

"It can be said that this is simply mutually beneficial."

"And because they are Sub-Gu, even if I ascend to the Spirit World in the future, they will still be able to exist."

"They will not disappear with my disappearance."

"The Xuanhuang Sect will still be able to last for ten thousand generations."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He knew that he would ascend to the Spirit World sooner or later.

Whether for more powerful cultivation or for a longer lifespan, he must ascend to the Spirit World.

The Immortal Cultivation World is just a beginning.

But that does not mean he will abandon the Immortal Cultivation World.

As the orthodoxy he left behind in the Immortal Cultivation World, he naturally attaches great importance to it.

"So that's it, is this how Ancient Demon Qi is obtained?"

At this time, Zhou Sui also obtained a massive amount of information from the Book Gu.

When the Book Gu devoured the Ancient Demon Qi, it also obtained a large amount of useful information from this wisp of Ancient Demon Qi.

Among it was the method of how the Demon Race extracts Ancient Demon Qi.

It requires a Fifth-tier Demon Cultivator to act personally, using Primordial Spirit Power to communicate with a Fifth-tier Spirit Vein, and utilizing powerful Primordial Spirit strength to extract the Ancient Demon Qi gestated in the depths of a Fifth-tier Monster Pulse.

Because the Ancient Demon Qi contained in a Fifth-tier Monster Pulse is very scarce.

To avoid the exhaustion of the Monster Pulse's energy, it can only be extracted once every thousand years.

If too much is extracted, it will lead to the exhaustion of the Fifth-tier Monster Pulse, thereby causing the Monster Pulse to collapse.

In that case, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Therefore, the Monster Pulse is like this, and the Spirit Vein is actually the same.

If one wants to extract Immortal Source Qi from a Fifth-tier Spirit Vein, it also requires powerful Soul strength to penetrate deep into the Spirit Vein to succeed; if the Soul strength is not powerful enough, one will be overwhelmed by the powerful aura of the Spirit Vein and perish.

Therefore, wanting to extract Immortal Source Qi is not as simple as one imagines.

If it were really that easy, then Immortal Source Qi from the Ancient Era would be everywhere.

It would not be so scarce.

"No wonder that even with a Fifth-tier Spirit Vein, ordinary Nascent Soul Sects cannot extract Immortal Source Qi."

"So it turns out that it still requires a Spirit Severing Venerable to act."

Zhou Sui was speechless, not knowing what to say.

To be honest, this is basically equivalent to a dead end.

Even with a Fifth-tier Spirit Vein, without a Spirit Severing Venerable, it is impossible to extract the Immortal Source Qi.

Yet without Immortal Source Qi, it is impossible to create a new Spirit Severing Venerable.

It is no wonder that for tens of thousands of years, no one in the Canglan Sea has been able to become a Spirit Severing Venerable.

Of course, besides a Spirit Severing Venerable taking action, perhaps there are other clever methods.

For example, using a Five-Tier Array, or perhaps using a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, and so on.

But these methods cannot be used in the Canglan Sea.

One can only blame the battle in the Ancient Era, which caused the Canglan Sea to suffer heavy losses and damaged a large number of Spirit Veins.

Therefore, to this day, it has been impossible to restore the cultivation environment of the Canglan Sea.

It can be said that the environment has already locked the upper limit of the Cultivators.

Even with astonishing talent, one must be limited by the constraints of the environment; this is also a helpless matter.

"However, my Divine Sense power is now comparable to a Spirit Severing Perfection Cultivator."

"Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators cannot do it, but that does not mean I cannot."

"Perhaps I can take the opportunity to obtain a wisp of Immortal Source Qi."

"If I can help Ye Feirou ascend to Spirit Severing, then the Xuanhuang Sect will be even safer."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

According to his current cultivation speed, he will not be able to ascend to Spirit Severing in a short time.

But Ye Feirou is different.

Having cultivated for hundreds of years, her cultivation base is already at the Nascent Soul perfection.

If one adds his own help, then passing the Transformation Spirit Three Passes is not an impossible thing.

Moreover, one can also observe the Dao Companion's Transformation God Lightning Tribulation to accumulate experience for his own future ascension to Spirit Severing.

It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

"But there is no rush for this kind of thing."

"Let's first look at the harvest this time."

Zhou Sui immediately took out a large pile of Storage Bags from his body; these Storage Bags all came from those Fourth-tier Demon Cultivators.

After they were finished off, the Storage Bags on their bodies naturally became his spoils of war.

However, he had been busy with the affairs of Piaomiao Palace before, so he had no time to carefully check these spoils.

Only now, after finishing the affairs of Piaomiao Palace, did he finally have the time.

Immediately, he opened the Storage Bags one by one.

A large amount of precious Treasure was immediately revealed inside.

"No way, there are actually so many Fourth-Tier Spirit Medicine and Fourth-Tier materials."

"There are even Fifth-tier materials?!"

Zhou Sui was very excited.

He discovered that these Fourth-tier Demon Cultivators were truly too wealthy.

Perhaps it has a great deal to do with the abundance of materials in the Ancient Demon World, which breeds a large number of Millennium Spirit Herb and rich Mineral resources, leading to every Fourth-tier Demon Cultivator storing a large amount of rare materials on their bodies.

Even these Spirit Medicine and materials are things never seen or heard of in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Ordinary Cultivators would not be able to recognize them upon seeing them.

But fortunately, he has the power of Heart Eye Identifying Objects.

Even if he is completely unfamiliar with them, he can still perceive the corresponding information from these Spirit Medicine and materials.

This is equivalent to an identification technique.

"No wonder the Ancient Demon World breeds so many Fourth-tier Demon Cultivators; the resources are truly too abundant."

"If one could annex the entire Ancient Demon World, that would be something."

"I am afraid the entire Immortal Cultivation World would also reach a higher level."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; to be honest, this is not impossible.

The so-called "courtesy demands reciprocity."

Since the Demon Race can come to the Immortal Cultivation World and transform the Spirit Veins of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Then why can he not go to the Ancient Demon World and transform the Monster Pulse of the Ancient Demon World?

Once successful, that would be the Immortal Cultivation World annexing the Ancient Demon World.

When the two worlds merge, I am afraid the Immortal Cultivation World will also be elevated to an unprecedented level.

Even the Immortal Cultivation World of the Ancient Era could not compare to it.

And as the main contributor, I am afraid the benefits he would obtain would also be beyond imagination.

Of course, now is not the time to execute this plan.

Unless he waits until he ascends to the Spirit Severing realm.

At that time, he will be able to sweep through the Spirit Severing great demons of the Ancient Demon World, and then no Demon Cultivator will be able to stop him.

Wanting to transform the Monster Pulse of the Ancient Demon World will be simply effortless.

"Eh, wait, what is this Spirit Medicine?"

"Could it be the Fourth-Tier Spirit Medicine Lucky Flower?!"

"This is the main material for refining Luck Gu; I actually found it?!"

At this moment, Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and he immediately found a Fourth-Tier material, Lucky Flower, among the many materials.

It can be said that Lucky Flower is a quite special Spirit Medicine.

After consuming it, one can increase their Luck for a certain period, raising the probability of finding Treasures.

However, the duration is too short, which makes the effect of this Spirit Medicine quite mediocre.

Coupled with its scarcity and extreme rarity, it has almost gone extinct in the world.

Therefore, no one has ever seen this kind of Spirit Medicine.

He did not expect to actually find Lucky Flowers on these Demon Cultivators.

Of course, for ordinary Cultivators, the Lucky Flower is useless, merely capable of briefly increasing Luck.

But for Zhou Sui, it is the main material for refining the Luck Gu.

With this Spirit Medicine, the Luck Gu can be refined.

The function of the Luck Gu is actually quite simple: it draws upon the Luck of the world to obtain various opportunities for the Host, and can even provide the Host with Precognition of future dangers, turning misfortune into good fortune.

This is also the Gu Insect that Zhou Sui has long wanted to refine.

If he successfully refines the Luck Gu, then he will be a true Son of Luck and Destined Son.

Moreover, he will be a Cultivator capable of actively manipulating Luck, which is simply infinitely profound.

"If I can manipulate Luck, then I will truly be able to stand in an invincible position."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Several days later.

Zhou Sui also collected a large amount of auxiliary materials for the Luck Gu through the power of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Added to the main material, the Lucky Flower, he could fully begin refining the Luck Gu.

Rumble~~

At this moment, Zhou Sui immediately threw the various materials into the Gu God Bowl.

He saw the Gu God Bowl gush out wisps of gray airflow, refining all these materials and transforming them into wisps of mist; the entire internal space was filled with endless mist.

It is unknown how much time passed, but a golden Gu Insect was instantly gestated; countless gray mists poured into this golden Gu Insect, causing the power on its body to climb step by step.

Vaguely, this golden Gu Insect seemed like a golden giant dragon, with an arrogant expression, roaming in the Void, free and unfettered, its body permeated with an inexplicable pressure, unfathomable.

Suddenly, a massive amount of information instantly submerged into the depths of Zhou Sui's consciousness.

"Luck Gu, this is a Heavenly Gu Insect capable of devouring Luck, gathering Luck, and manipulating Luck; it is as if it is a special, wondrous insect that carries the Luck of heaven and earth, infinitely profound.

However, one must use it with caution; if the Luck Gu is used smoothly, one will surely have everything go their way, turn misfortune into good fortune, and encounter continuous miracles, but if used excessively, then when luck departs, the hero is not free, and one will encounter obstacles in everything they do, meeting with misfortune in all things."

"This!"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; he immediately realized the profound nature of the Luck Gu, as it was like a double-edged sword; if used carelessly, it would instead harm himself.

After all, if the Luck Gu is used excessively, it will consume the Luck on his own body.

By then, if his Luck is zero, or even a negative number, then death is certain.

Even if one's cultivation is high, if one has no Luck, one cannot survive for very long.

Therefore, this Gu Insect must be used properly.

Unless it is a critical moment, it is better not to use it casually.

Boom~~

In an instant, the Luck Gu seemed to sense something; its figure flashed, and it immediately left the Gu God Bowl.

It arrived before Zhou Sui in a flash.

He saw it cheering loudly, appearing incomparably excited, as it was devouring wisps of golden aura in large gulps.

"What is going on?"

At this time, Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and his divine sense entered the body of the Luck Gu.

Suddenly, with the help of the Luck Gu's eyes, he was shocked to see that a Luck Golden Dragon seemed to have emerged on his body.

He saw this golden giant dragon floating above his head, covering the entire island, permeated with an unfathomable aura, as if it were communicating with this heaven and earth.

At this very moment, the Luck Gu was devouring the Luck on his body in large gulps, as if it had obtained delicious food, and the aura on its body was also climbing step by step.

It rapidly advanced from First-grade Low-grade to First Tier Mid Grade, First-tier High-grade, and Second-tier.

In just a moment's time, it became a Second-tier Luck Gu.

It can be said that the speed of its cultivation improvement is simply unprecedented.

If some more time passes, it is estimated that it will soon be able to grow to the Third-tier, or even the Fourth-Tier realm.

"So that's how it is; if the Luck Gu wants to grow, it naturally needs to devour Luck."

"The more Luck it obtains, the faster the Luck Gu grows."

"Its growth has no limit and is closely related to the Host's Luck."

"And on my body, I have long since accumulated countless amounts of Luck."

"For the Luck Gu, it is simply a great tonic that can help it grow rapidly."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

In fact, after the Luck on his body was eaten by the Luck Gu, the Luck on his body did not disappear; it had merely transferred to the Luck Gu.

Even because of the improvement in the Luck Gu's cultivation, it could feed back into his body, instead increasing the Luck on his body.

Thereby causing him to receive the protection of much Luck.

"However, when did I gather so much Luck on my body?"

Zhou Sui was very curious; he communicated with the Luck Gu and immediately knew why this had happened.

He himself obtained the Gu God Bowl, so he is a person who possesses great Luck.

But possessing great Luck does not mean one can go around courting death.

If one encounters too many calamities, the Luck on one's body will be worn away by the calamities.

After reaching a certain level, the Luck on one's body will be worn away completely.

This is why some Sons of Luck are always able to turn bad luck into good when they are young; even when encountering calamities, they can obtain fortuitous encounters, and even obtain various Treasures to improve their cultivation.

But when they reach old age, their ends are often very miserable; not only is their family destroyed and their loved ones dead, but they also become a lone star of heavenly evil.

This is because they court death everywhere, wearing away too much of the Luck on their bodies.

As a result, when they reach old age, they no longer have any Luck to protect them.

No matter what they do, nothing goes their way; instead, they encounter all kinds of calamities that cannot be resolved.

However, Zhou Sui is different.

Even after obtaining the Gu God Bowl, he did not court death everywhere; instead, he laid low and kept developing.

Without experiencing calamities, naturally, he would not wear away his Luck.

This also resulted in the Luck on his body not only not being worn away, but actually constantly increasing.

"There are many, many ways to increase Luck."

"The first is naturally the improvement of cultivation; the higher the cultivation, the more Luck is increased."

"There is no need to say much about this point; I am now a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator, my cultivation is invincible in the Canglan Sea, I am a hegemon-level existence myself, and I have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, which can be called boundless longevity, so naturally I possess great Luck."

"The second is to befriend Dao Companions and friends with great Luck; in this way, Luck can merge between each other, increasing everyone's Luck and achieving an effect where one plus one is greater than two."

"Although I don't have many friends, I have many Dao Companions; most of them are Sect Masters, or possess Superior Spiritual Roots, or even Heavenly Spirit Roots, and they themselves possess great Luck, otherwise they would not have cultivated to this current realm."

"The third is naturally to establish a force; the larger the force, the greater the influence, and in this way, one can naturally gather the Luck of all living beings while increasing one's own Luck."

"It is just like an emperor in the secular world; originally he was an unremarkable ordinary person, but because he is the ruler of a country and holds the power of life and death over hundreds of millions of people, he naturally possesses rich Luck."

"Clearly, becoming the Xuanhuang Sect Master, annexing the Piaomiao Palace, and controlling a sea area has also brought me massive Luck."

"Now, my every word and action, my every move, affects the landscape of the Human Race in the entire Canglan Sea."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Through the Luck Gu, he can know why he can obtain so much Luck now.

Everything is closely related to his experiences.

If it were not for the help of his Dao Companions, his force, and even his own cultivation, he would likely be unable to possess golden dragon Luck.

This is basically the top-tier Luck in the Immortal Cultivation World.

There is none better in the world.

"Clearly, Luck also has levels."

"From high to low, they are gold, red, orange, purple, blue, green, and white."

"Possessing golden Luck, one is undoubtedly a Son of Luck, capable of dominating an era. If the era allows, then becoming a Deity Transformation is a certainty."

"And red Luck can also become a Sect Master, become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and if there is a slight opportunity, one can also become a Deity Transformation."

"Orange Luck can at least become a Golden Core Real Person, and with a little opportunity, one can form a Nascent Soul; people with this kind of Luck basically have no hope of Deity Transformation."

"Purple Luck can also become a Golden Core, but there is no hope of forming a Nascent Soul."

"Blue Luck can become Foundation Establishment."

"Green Luck can become Qi Refining."

"As for white Luck, that is the Luck of mortals; at any time, their families may be destroyed and their clans wiped out."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Through the information from the Luck Gu, he has already understood the classification of Luck levels.

It can be said that different people will have different Luck.

Of course, Luck is not immutable.

Sometimes, obtaining the help of a noble person, or obtaining a fortuitous encounter, or a certain Treasure.

It may also cause one's own Luck to skyrocket.

Just like his Dao Companion Ji Bingyu and the others; originally they only had blue Luck, and being able to become Foundation Establishment was quite good.

But now, they already possess red Luck, and becoming a Deity Transformation is not an impossible thing.

This is the saying: when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

"Moreover, the Luck of different worlds is also different."

"Staying in the Immortal Cultivation World, I might possess golden Luck."

"But coming to the Ancient Demon World, it might be white Luck, or even black Luck."

"Everywhere targeted by the Heavenly Dao will of the Ancient Demon World."

"If I ascend to the Spirit World, perhaps I would only have white Luck or green Luck."

"Being a Son of Luck in one world does not necessarily mean it is the same in other worlds."

Zhou Sui also considers that he knows why those Fourth-tier Demon Cultivators encountered so many calamities and died in large numbers.

Clearly, they were also targeted by the Heavenly Dao will of the Immortal Cultivation World, and calamities descended.

After entering the Immortal Cultivation World, they will encounter various tribulations.

If they can block them, they can survive; if they cannot block them, they will die and their Dao will dissipate.

Therefore, wanting to invade other worlds is not such an easy thing; it really requires paying the price of one's life.

Of course, once successful, the benefits obtained are simply unimaginable.

Boom~~

At this moment, the Luck Gu once again transmitted a piece of information, sinking into the depths of Zhou Sui's sea of consciousness.

And this information was all about the various abilities of the Luck Gu.

Clearly, the first ability is Luck Gathering.

It can gather the Host's Luck, ensuring that the Luck obtained is not consumed, and will also make the Host's Luck increase more and more.

One must know that Luck will be consumed.

Even daily activities of various kinds can lead to the dissipation of Luck, causing it to be constantly worn away.

However, the Luck Gu can control the Luck on the Host, preventing it from leaking out and being automatically worn away.

In this way, the Host's Luck naturally gathers more and more, constantly increasing.

The second ability is Observation of Luck.

This ability is actually quite simple: it is observing Luck, being able to perceive the Luck on different living beings.

Knowing the Luck that the other party possesses.

In this way, one can know the future potential of different people.

Possessing this ability, one can select various geniuses and befriend various people who possess great Luck.

To be honest, this ability is truly excellent for Zhou Sui, who serves as the Xuanhuang Sect Master.

After all, as a massive sect, it is necessary to select all kinds of Disciples.

If one can select many Disciples with great Luck, then the sect's Luck will also climb step by step, and the strength of the Xuanhuang Sect will also become increasingly vast, constantly developing upward.

It can be said that this is also mutually reinforcing.

The third ability is Danger Precognition.

The Luck Gu can observe good fortune, so naturally, it can also observe misfortune, as well as bad luck.

Therefore, it can also see the various calamities facing the Host, and even impending bloodshed.

In this way, one can foresee danger in advance and take precautions against it.

The fourth ability is Opportunity.

It can consume the power of Luck on the Host to search for various opportunities, which are used to increase the Host's cultivation.

The fifth ability is Devouring Luck.

It can devour the Luck on those people with great Luck, forcibly plundering the Luck from the other party.

But this also has side effects.

That is, by plundering the Luck from the other party, one will bear the karma of the other party.

Calamity and Luck, calamity and Luck—naturally, there are calamities, and there is also Luck.

These two are mutually reinforcing.

If one cannot withstand this kind of calamity, it will lead to one's own death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

Therefore, this ability also needs to be used with caution.

Of course, Zhou Sui would never use this ability even if he were beaten to death; plundering others' Luck and others' opportunities looks like a good thing, but it requires bearing immense karma and calamities.

In this way, it is simply plunging oneself into danger.

If one is even slightly careless, one will die in the calamity, with one's body and Dao dissipated.

Since one can cultivate safely and steadily, ascending to become an immortal along the way, why is there a need to plunder the Luck of others?

Individuals have their own opportunities, and there is no need to force it.

"The abilities of the Luck Gu are indeed infinitely wonderful."

Zhou Sui was very moved.

He had only just refined the Luck Gu, yet he immediately perceived the formidable aspects of the Luck Gu.

Being able to manipulate the ethereal power of Luck is absolutely a Heaven and Earth Strange Gu.

"Wait, what exactly is going on here?"

"Why is there such great bad luck on me, and even calamities?"

At this very moment, Zhou Sui continued to observe the Luck on himself, and he was suddenly given a big fright.

Because he discovered that although his own Luck was grand, forming a Luck Golden Dragon, it was also accompanied by terrifying black Luck and blood-colored Luck; it seemed he possessed a sign of impending bloodshed.

It was as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had emerged behind him; the signs of bloodshed were simply filling the sky.

If he were even slightly careless, he would die and his Dao would dissipate, and his clan would be wiped out.

"Right, I finished off a group of fourth-tier Demon Cultivators."

"I also snatched two Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures and a wisp of Ancient Demon Qi."

"I ruined the plans of the Demon Race."

"This is equivalent to offending the Jiaolong Clan and the Demon Phoenix Clan, and even the entire Demon Race."

"Right now, the Demon Race is probably wishing they could eliminate me immediately and kill my nine generations."

"If it weren't for the restrictions of the Boundary Gate, I'm afraid a Spirit Severing Demon Cultivator would have already come to the Immortal Cultivation World to kill me."

Zhou Sui immediately understood why he was burdened with such great calamities and signs of bloodshed; it was clearly related to the things he had done before.

But even if such a thing were to happen again, he would still do it.

Because the Human Race and the Demon Race are inherently in a struggle between races; it is either you die or I perish.

There is no room for the slightest bit of mercy.

Even if he were to retreat now, there would be nowhere to retreat in the future.

Therefore, he must meet the difficulties head-on, slaughter all the Demon Race, and cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.

Otherwise, the Immortal Cultivation World would sooner or later be destroyed by the Demon Race, and this is also something he cannot tolerate.

Of course, if he truly could not win, he could also teleport directly to places like the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

He would not be forced to stay in the Canglan Sea and wait for death.

But clearly, it is not yet time to run away.
