Taoist priests have experienced tribulations in their practice, but only once. Specifically, they are hit when they try to ascend to become immortals for the final merit.

Whether it is a Taoist priest or a monk, there is no way to overcome the tribulation when breaking through the realm.

Of course, cultivation is against the will of heaven, and there are definitely no shortage of disasters caused by heaven, but they are all integrated into daily practice and will not specifically create a concrete catastrophe when the realm is broken through, so that the monks (Taoist priests) can resist.

The true meaning of the Dharma Protector is not to help the monks break through, but to protect them from interference and give full play to their strength to break through.

Ma Chengfeng stood beside Gu Wuyou, pretending to be vigilant, while thinking in a mess: Why did Gu Wuyou break through? Could it be that he was not disguised just now, and he was telling the truth?

That won't work either!

So what if you understand your thoughts? You should not make any breakthroughs.

Yes, he is at the peak of the Golden Pill and has the foundation to break through the great realm, but... he has only practiced for more than two years after all!

If he really made a breakthrough this time, he would definitely become a legend in the cultivator world, the kind that Hong Changkong could not compare... Well, his current cultivation progress is actually quite legendary, but the Jindan is not a Nascent Soul after all.

The golden elixir increases the life span of three hundred years, while the Nascent Soul is three thousand years.

After the Nascent Soul, no matter how many monks break through, their life span will not increase unless they reach the realm of immortality. What does this mean? The Nascent Soul is a watershed, which divides ordinary monks and "real people" into two, with clear classes.

If possible, Ma Chengfeng is certainly not willing to protect the Dharma for the sake of worrying about Wuyou.

However, this was Hongsan's request, and he did not dare to disobey, especially when he broke his promise not long ago and injured Gu Wuyou.

By the same token, Ma Chengfeng dared not deliberately destroy it.

Yes, breakthroughs can be destroyed.

Otherwise, why do you need to protect the Dharma?

Ma Chengfeng acted as Gu Wuyou's guardian at this moment, and it would be easier to destroy it because he was close to Gu Wuyou. It didn't have to be so obvious. A little bit of aura of a master of transformation, or even a random sweeping of spiritual consciousness may interfere with Gu Wuyou.

Unfortunately, he really dared not!

The crime of intentionally destroying the breakthrough of fellow practitioners is too serious, especially during the arrival of the White Demon, the identity of the elder of Taihao Sect could not be afforded.

...

Gu Wuyou, who sat cross-legged on the ground, quickly entered the state of cultivation. His mind was neither happy nor sad, neither inside nor outside. The real world was completely ignored. In the sense, only mysterious aura filled the external world and the rotating golden elixir in the dantian.

The concept of time has also disappeared.

At some point, maybe a long time has passed, or maybe not long after entering the state of concentration, the golden elixir suddenly stopped.

From the Qi training period, whether it is a cyclone, yin and yang fish or golden elixir, rotation is the eternal main theme. There is no static golden elixir because the world is cyclical, or according to Lu Xuan, the planets and galaxies in the universe are rotating.

If you want to be your own world, you have to turn...

At this moment, the golden elixir stopped, of course there was no problem.

Under Gu Wuyou's induction, the golden elixir began to gradually shrink, and the speed changed from slow to fast. However, because of the loss of the concept of time, Gu Wuyou didn't know how long it had passed. In short, the golden elixir became smaller and smaller, so small that it was almost impossible to detect.

Finally, the golden elixir disappeared completely!

Then a vast force exploded from the original position of the golden elixir, instantly eroding Gu Wuyou's dantian meridians, internal organs, skeletal muscles and skin, etc.

This power is so powerful that it can be said to be destroyed.

Under the mental sensing, every part of the body was washed away, including the so-called dantian meridians that are the foundation of cultivation, and the brain that is most important to living beings.

However, the power of the golden elixir exploded only once.

Breaking open, rinsing, and then it's over, and it won't be washed repeatedly.

After this force washed away the body, it quickly dissipated. At this time, an extremely small point appeared out of thin air in the dantian and gradually became larger and larger, and the speed of enlarging became faster and faster - just like the shrinking of the golden elixir before.

But it is not a golden elixir.

When it reaches a certain level, the amplification stops.

This is a ball of light of uncertain shape. If it were Lu Xuan, she would probably think it was a nebula. But Gu Wuyou is not an interstellar adventurer, but a Middle-earth man who was born and raised and accepted the concept of orthodox monks, so a thought naturally arose in his mind:

This thing is the Nascent Soul.

As the thought arose, the light ball twisted and deformed, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a vivid little man. His eyebrows and eyes were suddenly filled with a miniature version of Gu Wuyou.

Gu Wuyou also escapes from the state of concentration.

The spiritual sense observed the little man slowly rotating in the dantian. Gu Wuyou was a little confused for a moment: Is this what it is?

There is no doubt that he has successfully transformed into a baby, and that little man is the Nascent Soul.

But why doesn’t Nascent Soul wear clothes?

Er, the focus is wrong, start over.

According to the cultivation theory, the Nascent Soul includes all the cultivation skills of the monk, as well as more importantly the primordial spirit and consciousness spirit. In other words, the Nascent Soul is the complete monk itself, and its physical body has become an existence similar to the "stinky skin" mentioned by Buddhism.

Without the body, the Nascent Soul can still survive, that is, the monk can still live.

Of course, the newly formed Nascent Soul is too weak to withstand the troubles of the real world and cannot survive alone for the time being. It still needs the protection of the physical body. Having said that, even if the physical body can be abandoned, the Taoist descendants will not do it, so the monk doesn’t care about the smelly skin.

What Gu Wuyou didn’t understand was that since the Nascent Soul was him, how should he explain it when he was from the perspective of a third person and observed the Nascent Soul with his mind?

Just when he was confused, a clever voice sounded.

"Tsk tsk, the quality of the Nascent Soul is good."

Quality... This is the Nascent Soul, that is, I, not the cabbage grown by watering and fertilizing, is it good?

Considering that his cleverness is familiar with the way of heaven in the Middle Earth and his inexplicable proficiency in the theory of cultivation, Gu Wuyou sent a voice to tell his doubts.

Little cleverness: "Nonsense, does the Nascent Soul need eyes to see things? As a new Nascent Soul Real Person, you cannot be limited to human thinking. Nascent Soul, or at this moment, you are using magical powers similar to spiritual scanning, and it is normal to see yourself."

Gu Wuyou suddenly realized.

He has become a baby by transforming elixir into a baby, and is no longer a human being...

Only monks above Nascent Soul can be respected as "real persons", because only those who have Nascent Soul are qualified to get rid of physical dependence. However, Nascent Soul is by no means a simple substitute for physical body. It is the most mysterious thing under the laws of heaven, no doubt about it.

For example, when the Nascent Soul controls the body, he still uses human organs, sees his eyes, listens with his ears, and even thinks with his brain.

But once it leaves the body, the Nascent Soul instantly transforms into an independent individual, simulating the visual, auditory and other functions of the body, like a person composed of pure magic power.

When monks look inside, the Nascent Soul is in another working state.

In a way similar to the spiritual scanning, the situation inside the body is presented, that is, the "inner scene". This ability is called magical power. It does not require learning and mastering, and the Nascent Soul will naturally be able to do it. What is the most wonderful thing? It is from a monk below the Golden Pill to look at himself, and there is almost no difference in feeling.

Therefore, Gu Wuyou looked inside and did not look at this situation from the first person perspective of the Nascent Soul.

It's similar to before, but it's still a global perspective.

"Okay." Little clever simulated the sound of clapping, "I suddenly made a sound, not because I was bored, but to remind you to prepare in time."

Gu Wuyou didn't understand: "What preparation?"

"Practice the Tongtian Art and receive Jun Buqi's cultivation!"

"ah?"

"Don't leave now, visualize the world quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

Gu Wuyou had to endure the confusion and began to visualize the world according to the requirements of the Tongtian Art - of course, as before, what he visualized was only the world he knew.

The vast magic power fell from the sky!

It can be seen from inside that the empty Dantian meridians were quickly filled with, and the Nascent Soul also changed from crystal clear, uneasy to earthly fireworks and even put on clothes.

Gu Wuyou was so shocked that he almost left his cultivation state.

The Nascent Soul wearing clothes... This is a symbol of the peak of the Nascent Soul!

The newly refined Nascent Soul is almost transparent and looks full of fairy spirit. As the cultivation level improves, it will gradually move closer to the appearance of a living person. This is very consistent with the practice concept of "being with light and dust" and is also logical.

The Nascent Soul always has to leave the body. The closer it is to the physical body, the higher the level it is.

Generally speaking, the Nascent Soul in the early stage is like jade, but it is almost the same as the real person in the middle stage. When it reaches the late stage or peak, the Nascent Soul can still transform into clothes.

Just imagine a real Nascent Soul person who leaves his body, how ugly is his bare butt?

Gu Wuyou's Nascent Soul put on his clothes, which means that he has reached the peak of Nascent Soul. It would be strange if he is not shocked.

Is Jun Buqi's legacy too rich, or is the way of Zhongdi too awesome?

The first time he was directly pulled from Juyuan rookie to the peak of Jindan, and he was only one step away from turning into a baby.

The second time, I was only one step away from breaking through to the God Transformation Stage...

Without hard practice and no need to settle down in the state of mind, he became the peak of the Nascent Soul in a confused manner. How can he play with this? Things are a good thing, but Gu Wuyou always feels that his cultivation has become so illogical and his sense of accomplishment is gone.

Hongsan and Ma Chengfeng, the guardian of the Dharma in the square, were also shocked.

As before, Gu Wuyou and Xiaoling communicated, and neither of them noticed it. According to the rules, they would not use their spiritual sense to scan randomly, for fear of interfering with Gu Wuyou's breakthrough.

But how could the two of them ignore the magic power that fell from the sky?

They still dared not release their spiritual consciousness, but Gu Wuyou's breath was changing rapidly, from the "normal" state of just transforming into a baby's true energy, it became full of energy in a blink of an eye, and then its momentum increased again and again...

They are all experienced people, of course they understand what this means.

Gu Wuyou is undergoing breakthroughs again and again. Under normal circumstances, the cultivation process that takes hundreds or even thousands of years is compressed into a very short time!

This does not conform to the basic rules of cultivation at all.

Ma Chengfeng looked at Hongsan in horror and found that the other party was also disbelief. Obviously, although Hongsan judged that Gu Wuyou was the source of the mutinous changes, he did not expect that he would experience such an incredible scene in person.

After a while, Gu Wuyou's breath finally calmed down.

Fortunately, I didn't take advantage of the victory and broke through to the God Transformation Stage...

Ma Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, otherwise, I would have been a huge joke after practicing for so many years?

Gu Wuyou slowly opened his eyes and looked at Hongsan.

"Senior, I decided to participate in the wilderness and kill the demons."
Chapter completed!
