This strong far-reaching and save combat ability was what made Fu Xian check it out, but the second ability was what truly made him choose it – Crimson Transformation!
The cultivator could slowly feed his own blood essence to the Gu, slowly but steadily, the Gu will build a deep connection to the cultivator, until, at one point, it will become the core of his lower dantian!
What does the lower dantian represent? It represents the Physical Body!
The moment this connection has been established and completed, the cultivator can transform into the physical form of the butterfly!
Not only is this a transformation, even better, they can use various dream-abilities in the physical form – this means they can manifest ethereal dream weapons, cast dream spells in reality, and fight directly – no longer the far reaching curse but a direct confrontation.
After all, the dream world is different from the real world, so most spells can’t be used in the real world, they have to enter the dreams to fight. This is the innate weakness of dream cultivators... but this Seven Nights Crimson Butterfly Gu is not only a dual form of curse and dream, it has another stage even, becoming a trinity of curse, dream and transformation!
In the end, you can fight directly and if you can’t kill them on the spot, then after leaving, you can use the blood, aura or a wisp of a soul to cast the Seven Nights curse, killing them truly!
’Hahaha, with this Gu, wouldn’t Teigu directly have a deathly weapon, and after completing everything, he will become a death reaper, killing in various ways!
In addition, in the form of the Dream Gu, he has a special status, but to other Gu, he will seem like a Gu King!
This means he can cultivate other Gu and directly have a superior position and control over all lower Gu.
Hehe, this senior, he probably thought no one would take this path and reject it in the end.
After all, who could say their soul can stand the corruption of the Seven Nights curse?
Everyone who cultivates this Gu will actually daily experience the nightmare of the Seven Nights Curse, and once you start the Crimson Transformation, there will be a battle of supremacy between you and your Gu – if you win, you gain the full transformation and become the True Body of the Gu, even when you’re not transformed, the Gu will become a second body, a dream body you can freely control.
But if you lose, the Gu will take over your body and evolve into a Gu King, able to freely traverse the dream and real world... but why would I care?
I can just boost my clone’s soul, can’t I? And even if the clone dies, can’t I just use the connection to search for this Gu King, and then just contract it directly or give it to another clone?
Heh, in the end, there is no loss for me!
Either I get a Gu Clone or a Gu King, there is no difference!’
He laughed deeply in his mind, already understanding why, even though this Gu was the best choice, most others wouldn’t take it.
Most Gu cultivators took the path of a controller, like a beast tamer, only for Gu. Few would take the path of transforming themselves into Gu!
Even Beast Transformation has various risks, but in the end, at worst you’ll become a Beast with a lower intelligence but still inherent strength.
What about Gu?
None of them would allow you to escape if you lose – the moment you fail in your transformation into a Gu, you will definitely die.
Only a few would take this path, and even fewer would succeed... but everyone who succeed has become a Gu King, a lord among Gu, controlling thousands of Gu’s, establishing their kingdom and massacring across the world!
"Haha, this path, I will definitely succeed in the end!" Fu Xian screamed in his heart.
Of course he didn’t meant the path of Gu, in the end, it was still just a clone. No, he meant the path to transcendence!
Everything he did was to become immortal, so of course every step was to become closer and reach it faster!
"Alas, I’m too hyped. My mind is not stable and I get easily excited..." although he said so, his smile didn’t fall at all.
Finally, after three clones, one worse than the other, he found the path forward!
If the next clones were all useless, then he would’ve wasted his Innate Aspect!
You can awaken as many spiritual inspirations as you want, and even transform as many origin lights as you wish, but the Innate Aspect is unique.
Each stage has their own unique features, but the Innate Aspect awakened at the origin light stage is undoubtedly one of the most important, shaping your whole future!
If his one turned out to be bad, he couldn’t imagine the struggle it would take to advance.
"And now comes the question of cost..."
As he said, he looked at his points, which were too few to buy both...
"A common art costs 10 points in the first stage, a refined one costs 30 points, profound arts are at 100, perfect at 300, and finally transcendent at 1.000!
Those prices for the first stage are really too much!"
He sighed "Then again, it’s because the arts are really good. There is a large leap at each stage: the cost triples after each stage. Looking at it like this, the expense definitely has a smaller gap than the arts themselves.
A thousand common arts couldn’t compare to a profound art, ten thousand profound arts couldn’t compare to a transcendent art!
There is a huge leap between profound and perfect, and there’s a great hurdle between perfect and transcendent."
As he said so, he swiped the scroll and stood up.
He walked to the reception at the entrance of the library, slowly waiting his turn.
Now it was time to bleed and sell his heritage and insight to advance...
Although he was a bit sad, he didn’t really care.
Just because he sold it to the library didn’t mean he couldn’t sell it or give it away – the library was more like a back-up, which others could obtain. Besides cultivation arts, you can basically find everything else on the market.
He already planned that after posting his diagram here, he would likely sell it a second time.
After all, since he already posted it here, it was no longer a secret. Since it’s no secret, he might as well earn more.
