Chapter 335: Chapter 246 Ancient Transfer Array_2
Gu Sishiqi’s body shivered, and faintly, the sound of tidal waves could be heard. Moments later, everything gradually calmed down.
A burst of turbid air was expelled.
“Grandmaster Perfection!”
“Truly worthy of a Demon General’s core!”
Joy appeared on Gu Sishiqi’s face, tinged with a trace of regret.
The energy from the Demon Core could not be completely refined; after all, it was not energy cultivated personally. Hence, swallowing and refining a Demon Core, most of the energy would dissipate, with only a small part being absorbed by the Cultivator.
With the inner core of a Heavenly Net Demon General, who was at the Third Level of the Divine Transformation Realm, this energy could have elevated Gu Sishiqi directly to the Divine Transformation Realm, rather than stopping at Grandmaster Perfection.
Nonetheless, even so, Gu Sishiqi was quite satisfied.
Grandmaster Perfection!
Just one step away from stepping into the Divine Transformation Realm.
He could already feel the eager stirring of his vital essence. This was a sign that his vital essence was about to transform and step into the Divine Transformation Realm.
Should nothing unexpected happen,
Gu Sishiqi was confident that he could break through to the Divine Transformation Realm within three months if he secluded himself.
“Just three months is simply too long!”
“The Demons have their unique tracking methods; if I really were to stay here for three months, I’m afraid I would be besieged by the Demons before breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm.
The most urgent priority is to hunt other Demons for a breakthrough to the Divine Transformation Realm!”
Gu Sishiqi took a deep breath, having made his decision.
Though it is true that normally, swallowing a Demon Core to increase one’s Cultivation too quickly can lead to an unstable foundation, Gu Sishiqi saw these issues as non-issues.
What does an unstable foundation matter? If there’s a chance in the future, one can slowly strengthen the foundation.
As long as one’s Cultivation level increases, everything becomes possible.
In the midst of battling with Demons, Gu Sishiqi also found that the slight instability in his foundation caused by swallowing Demon Cores was becoming solid again.
Therefore, the unstable foundation resulting from swallowing Demon Cores was not a major problem. Subsequent battles with the Demons would naturally stabilize the foundation during combat.
To slay Demons, seize their cores, then refine the core’s power to break through in Cultivation, and afterward fight Demons to stabilize the foundation—this could be seen as a virtuous cycle.
There are risks to everything.
If one were to encounter a powerful Demon, one might just end up as its snack.
It could be said that,
Now in the Demon Realm, there are both risks and opportunities.
“Your Death Soldier ‘Gu Sishiqi’ has killed a Demon at the Third Level of the Divine Transformation Realm!”
“Your Death Soldier ‘Gu Sishiqi’ has refined a Demon Core, with his Cultivation breaking through to Grandmaster Realm Perfection!”
“Your Death Soldier…”
“Your Death Soldier ‘Gu Qishi’er’ has carelessly entered an ancient secret realm, activated a powerful prohibition, and died on the spot!”
“Your Death Soldier ‘Liu Shisan’ was ambushed and killed on the spot by a Cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm!”
“Your Death Soldier ‘Shen Zhongyi’ has gained insight in a life-and-death battle and has slightly improved!”
“Your Death Soldier ‘Hong Ye’ covertly assassinated a martial artist at the peak of the Great Grandmaster level, raising the reputation of the Netherworld Pavilion!”
When Gu Qingfeng regularly checked the information panel and saw Gu Sishiqi make another breakthrough into the peak of Great Grandmaster in such a short time, his gaze shifted slightly.
“Another breakthrough in such a short time; it seems the Demon Realm indeed has great opportunities!”
Even though Gu Qingfeng was clear about the effects of the Demon Core, seeing Gu Sishiqi break through so quickly still shocked him.
How long had it been?
The other party had made another breakthrough.
If Gu Sishiqi were allowed to continue growing, Gu Qingfeng suspected that breaking through the Dao Palace Realm would only be a matter of time.
“This way, the many Hidden Guards dispersed out could really bring me some surprises, yet… Those with substantial Qi Fortune like Gu Sishiqi are few and far between.
Most, unfortunately, die due to various accidents.”
Gu Qingfeng, looking at the information about other Death Soldiers, realized that those like Gu Sishiqi, who thrive in the Demon Realm, were indeed rare.
Most others either perished in secret realms or fell to other powerful beings.
This was quite normal.
After all, the Ancient Desolate World is so vast; there is no order among Cultivators, and everything is determined by strength.
The law of the jungle!
The strong control the fate of the weak; this is an everyday affair.
The so-called rules and order are established based on the notion of equality of parties; otherwise, these things are equivalent to non-existence.
“Three thousand Hidden Guards is just too few, I wonder when I will be able to get more Hidden Guards; if their numbers could increase significantly and spread throughout the entire Ancient Desolate World, they would be bound to bring me a surprise someday!”
Gu Qingfeng mused to himself.
The Hidden Guards are not something he can obtain whenever he wishes; it all depends on whether Gu Yang’s subsequent breakthroughs will trigger the reward of the Death Soldiers again.
“The likelihood of triggering additional rewards for minor realm breakthroughs is low; if it’s a major realm breakthrough, this likelihood increases substantially.”
“Yang’er is now at the peak of the Great Grandmaster level; one more breakthrough will take him to the Divine Transformation Realm. Now it’s just a matter of when he can achieve this breakthrough!”
The leap from the Great Grandmaster to the Divine Transformation Realm is significant, and Gu Qingfeng has a premonition that Gu Yang’s next breakthrough would surely bring surprises to him.
Regardless of the difficulty of the breakthrough from the peak of the Great Grandmaster to the Divine Transformation Realm, with Gu Yang’s talent and opportunities, it would not take too long for him to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.
Gu Yang also has his own opportunities.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at the offspring information panel, his pupils slightly contracting.
