Chapter 117 The Foundation of the Gu Immortal
Ye Ming flew at an extremely fast speed, but just before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, he found a cave and stopped.
After setting up multiple defensive measures at the cave entrance, he focused his mind on the void.
Now, his inner cavity is filled with numerous Gu worms. It took him more than two years to refine several hundred Gu worms and perfect his techniques.
However, he did not pay attention to the Gu worms in his body at this moment, but focused his attention on the walls of his body.
On the way, he felt his true essence sea churning, which was a sign of a breakthrough.
He is now at the mid-stage of the fifth level, and the next step will make him a high-stage fifth-level Gu Master!
He's not far from achieving immortality after six transformations.
With a thought, Ye Ming directly mobilized the amethyst true essence within the two acupoints to cleanse the acupoint walls.
After being enhanced by the Blood Skull Gu, he already possessed Grade A aptitude. During his breakthrough, his true essence was abundant, and bottlenecks posed no threat to him.
After a while, the true essence sea suddenly trembled, and the true essence became even more solid.
Ye Ming quietly opened his eyes, a look of joy in them.
A fifth-tier high-level Gu Master, achieved!
"I am now only one step away from becoming an immortal, but my foundation in the Way of the Moon and the Way of Strength is too shallow. I'm afraid I haven't even reached the level of a master yet."
"If one were to achieve immortality with such limited resources, the blessed land would likely only be of inferior quality, and might not even be able to nurture a single immortal Gu."
Thinking of this, Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this reward came just in time!
"The insights into the Water Path, Fire Path, and Slave Path are merely icing on the cake. But these insights into the Moon Path and Power Path are truly a godsend!"
The blessed land created by the foundation of a grandmaster is not as good as the special blessed land of the Ten Absolute Body Immortals, but it is still a superior blessed land.
Ordinary Gu Masters who ascend to immortality are granted blessed lands of three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.
The lowest-grade blessed land, covering an area of at most three million acres, draws upon the minor tributaries of the Time Vein, generating a dozen or so Qingti Immortal Essences, all of poor quality.
The medium-sized blessed land covers an area of four to six million acres, drawing upon the tributaries of the central vein of time, giving rise to more than twenty immortal essences, and is rich in resources.
Superior blessed lands cover an area of seven to nine million acres, drawing upon tributaries of the Great River of Time, containing more than thirty immortal essences, and with a large amount of residual heaven and earth energies, which can be used to refine mortal Gu into immortal Gu!
Ascending to immortality through the Ten Absolute Body Techniques is extremely dangerous, but the rewards are even greater! Once ascension is successful, the blessed lands will all be top-tier blessed lands!
This exceptionally blessed land covers an area of over ten million acres, triggering a massive tributary of time, and yielding over fifty Green Grain Immortal Essences! Barring unforeseen circumstances, at least two Immortal Gu should be harvested!
The Ten Absolute Physiques are extremely rare, and with Ye Ming's shallow foundation, his ascension to immortality would at best be to a lower-grade blessed land. However, after absorbing the insights of the Grandmasters of Power and Moon Dao and thoroughly integrating them into himself, his foundation will be greatly enriched!
A superior blessed land is not a pipe dream.
Looking at it this way, the reward this time is indeed quite generous.
Not to mention the system also rewarded us with a blessed land and three extraordinary secret realms!
Suppressing his excitement, Ye Ming checked the system rewards again.
[Upon reaching 65% of the Refining Dao Venerable's portrayal level, the reward is a Fox Fairy Blessed Land; the reward is the Three Wonders Secret Realm: Soul-Swept Mountain, Fallen Soul Valley, and Soul-Soothing Lake; the reward is a Grandmaster-level comprehension of the Moon Dao, Power Dao, Slave Dao, Water Dao, and Fire Dao; and the reward is twenty Green Grape Immortal Essences!]
After carefully checking the surroundings and confirming that there was no danger, Ye Ming chose to claim the reward.
[Ding! The Green Grape Immortal Essence has been distributed to the system storage space. Master-level insights into the Dao of Moon, Dao of Strength, Dao of Slavery, Dao of Water, and Dao of Fire are being distributed separately...]
The moment the system voice sounded, a profound message flooded into his mind, and Ye Ming immediately closed his eyes and began to comprehend it.
Countless insights into the Way of the Moon were imprinted into his soul, instantly increasing his mastery of the Way of the Moon.
Half a day later, Ye Ming finally fully absorbed the insights of the Moon Dao Grandmaster.
Before he could even marvel at it, the insights of the Grandmaster of Strength appeared in his mind again, and he had no choice but to continue absorbing this information.
A day later, Ye Ming finally finished absorbing the insights of the five grandmasters.
This information was directly imprinted deep within his soul, without the slightest hesitation. It was precisely because of this that he was able to elevate his corresponding realm of understanding and cultivation.
[Ding! Soul-Slaying Mountain, Soul-Falling Valley, and Soul-Soothing Lake have been integrated into the Fox Fairy Blessed Land. The Fox Fairy Blessed Land is being distributed...]
Upon hearing the system notification, Ye Ming quickly widened his eyes and looked around.
The blessed land was very large, and he didn't know how the system would distribute it.
After a while, there was still no movement around him. Just as Ye Ming was wondering about this, he suddenly felt as if his mind was connected to a mysterious space.
He stood up, waved his hand lightly in front of him, and after a few seconds, a crack suddenly appeared in the previously calm space.
Ye Ming took a step forward and entered.
The scene before him suddenly changed, and when Ye Ming opened his eyes again, he found himself in a palace.
"Where is the spirit of the earth?" Ye Ming asked softly.
"call out!"
A small figure leaped out from inside the palace and said in a clear voice, "Master~"
She lowered her head, her face flushed, staring at her toes, her voice soft and sweet. Behind her, a fluffy, snow-white fox tail swayed from side to side, revealing her anxious heart.
Ye Ming looked at the spirit of the Fox Fairy Blessed Land, and a smile appeared on his face.
The original owner of the Fox Fairy Blessed Land was a female Gu Fairy who commanded a pack of foxes. After her death, her obsession merged with the power of heaven and earth, forming the spirit of the Fox Fairy Blessed Land, the Little Fox Fairy.
The little fox fairy, like a five or six-year-old girl, was pink, innocent, and petite. She wore a colorful dress, had two fluffy ears on her head that drooped gently, and a long, snow-white tail behind her.
Ye Ming placed his large hand on the little fox fairy's head, gently stroked it, and said softly, "Hello, little fox fairy."
The little fox fairy immediately curled her hair up happily, her two fluffy ears drooping gently, and a blush of happiness spreading across her cheeks.
Seeing the little fox fairy's appearance, Ye Ming's smile deepened.
"Little fox fairy, how long until the next geological disaster strikes this blessed land?"
The little fox fairy looked up, staring at Ye Ming with her bright, big eyes, and said in a clear voice, "Master, the blessed land has just experienced its fifth calamity, and there are exactly ten years until the sixth calamity."
Earth spirits are formed by the combination of obsession and the great power of heaven and earth. Unlike will, they will not deceive their masters.
The little fox spirit spoke only the frank truth.
Hearing this, Ye Ming pondered for a moment.
"The master of the Fox Fairy Paradise died in the fifth catastrophe, so it seems that the little fox fairy has only just begun to take shape."
"There are still ten years until the sixth geological disaster, so there is still some buffer time."
All things are in balance; the way of Heaven is impartial. Where there is strength, there is weakness; where there is fortune, there is misfortune.
Blessed lands are subject to calamities; there is a land calamity every ten years and a heavenly calamity every hundred years.
When a natural disaster strikes, its power is immense, often causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack. If a blessed land cannot withstand it, both the Gu Master and the blessed land will be destroyed.
He then asked, "What is the current state of the disaster in that blessed land? What are the reserves of various resources within it?"
The little fox fairy nodded slightly, waved her hand, and an image of the Fox Fairy Blessed Land appeared in mid-air.
"Master, this blessed land has a universe of six million acres and a flow rate five times that of space. All six million acres are grassland terrain, with grasses mainly consisting of blue grass, horse hoof grass, and six-god grass, accompanied by seven-treasure flowers, milk tea flowers, and so on."
The little fox fairy waved her image, which was a typical meadow, colorful and like a flower carpet.
The intensely poisonous blue-green blue grass, the horseshoe-shaped horseshoe grass, the six slender leaves, the jade-like delicate and lustrous Six God Grass, the colorful Seven Treasures Flower, and the cup-shaped Milk Tea Flower filled with milk tea-like flower juice.
These are the main seven species, along with many other weeds and wildflowers.
Ye Ming nodded repeatedly; these flowers and plants were all cultivation resources!
Blessed lands inherit the path cultivated by Gu Immortals. For example, the original owner of a Fox Immortal Blessed Land cultivated the path of slavery to command foxes. Its resources and characteristics are all biased towards the path of slavery.
These seven main types of flowers and herbs can all be used as food for refining Gu poison and for some Gu worms. Some of these flowers and herbs even harbor Gu worms.
The grassland, covering more than six million acres, was infested with so many parasitic worms that Ye Ming could hardly imagine.
At this moment, the little fox fairy looked puzzled and said in a soft voice, "What's strange is that three wondrous places—Soul-Swept Mountain, Soul-Fallen Valley, and Soul-Soothing Lake—have suddenly appeared in the northern part of the Blessed Land. Moreover, the Blessed Land itself hasn't suffered any damage from the last natural disaster; everything is perfectly intact!"
The little fox fairy waved her hand, and the images on it changed again, revealing the three wonders of Soul-Swept Mountain, Fallen Soul Valley, and Soul-Soothing Lake before Ye Ming.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled. He knew he was about to take off.
"Little fox spirit, how many Gu worms are there in this blessed land? How much immortal energy do they have left?"
The little fox spirit tilted her head slightly: "Currently, within this blessed land, there are over 860,000 first-stage Gu, involving 52 types. There are over 130,000 second-stage Gu, involving 48 types. There are 5,000 third-stage Gu, involving 12 types."
"More than sixty fourth-grade Gu, eight different types. One fifth-grade Gu, a fox-skin Gu."
Nearly a million Gu worms!
Ye Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "A blessed land can only be created by a Gu Immortal; it is the foundation of an immortal!"
He has struggled to this day, yet he has only managed to acquire a few hundred Gu worms.
However, this blessed land of the fox spirit, which has survived five geological disasters, actually contains nearly a million Gu worms.
A blessed land can support a super family in the Gu world.
Ordinary people raise a dozen or so Gu gu. Gu immortals raise millions, even tens of millions, of Gu gu. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth!
However, these Gu worms are mostly slaves, and they don't contribute much to improving Ye Ming's current combat strength.
What captivated him was the flow of time within this blessed land!
The Fox Fairy Paradise has a cosmic flow rate five times that of the outside world! In other words, one day outside is equivalent to five days here!
If Ye Ming were to cultivate in the blessed land, his cultivation speed would be five times that of the outside world!
That alone is enough for him to surpass many people.
"There are also thousands of fox groups living in this blessed land, including three of the largest groups with tens of thousands of foxes each, totaling about 4.7 million foxes."
"There are also seventy-eight green grape immortal essences in this blessed land," the little fox fairy added.
Ye Ming nodded, completely relieved.
Patting the little fox spirit's head, Ye Ming smiled and said, "You take care of everything in the blessed land for now. I have some very important things to do."
I'll come see you again in a while.
The little fox spirit squinted her eyes and said with obvious enjoyment, "Yes, Master!"
