**Chapter 56: The Pinnacle of an Eight-Star Dou Emperor**
"Teacher, how can this magic beast egg be hatched?"
Xiao Yixian's mind moved, and she hugged the magic beast egg of the Ironwing Giant Eagle, reluctant to part with it.
Upon hearing this, Gu He looked at the blue magic beast egg in her hand and said, "The Ironwing Giant Eagle is also considered a gold attribute magic beast. When you have time, go to the Jia Ma capital city, buy some gold attribute magic cores, and place them next to it. When it absorbs the power from the gold attribute magic cores, it should hatch."
"Gold attribute magic cores..."
Xiao Yixian nodded at his words, remembering the method Gu He mentioned.
"Alright, go back and stabilize your own cultivation first."
Thinking about the treasures in his system space, Gu He couldn't wait to merge them, so he urged Xiao Yixian to leave.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian directly stored the magic beast egg in her spatial ring and said lightly, "Well then, teacher, I'll take my leave."
Gu He nodded slightly, "Mm, go ahead."
After Xiao Yixian left, Gu He couldn't wait to enter the alchemy room.
With a thought, the next moment, Gu He directly set up a barrier around the alchemy room.
After completing this step, Gu He slowly sat in the middle of the alchemy room.
After adjusting his state a bit, Gu He then immersed his mind into the system space.
Then, Gu He silently said in his mind, "System, start merging twenty years of dou qi cultivation!"
As Gu He's voice fell, the colorless light sphere that was originally suspended in the void in the system space immediately turned into a dazzling light, directly shooting into Gu He's body.
**Boom!**
As this dazzling light entered Gu He's body, the next moment, Gu He felt a muffled sound inside his body, followed by an extremely powerful energy surging out.
This energy was extremely domineering, surging in his body like a tornado, sweeping towards Gu He's limbs and bones.
Intense pain emanated from inside his body, and Gu He's complexion instantly turned deathly pale.
Then, following the method from last time, as this energy entered his body, his inherent dou qi surged out in an instant.
Compared to this energy, the power of the inherent dou qi was more overbearing. In the moment of contact between the two, the inherent dou qi directly dispersed this energy.
Afterward, Gu He controlled the dispersed energy, guiding them into his own dantian.
As more and more energy entered the dantian, the aura emanating from Gu He's body became more and more profound.
After a moment, the thickness of the dou qi in the dantian was several times stronger than before he started cultivating.
In just a short moment, it was equivalent to almost half a year of painstaking cultivation for Gu He.
This feeling immersed Gu He in ecstasy.
Now, he was extremely proficient in refining energy, and coupled with the purity of this energy, there was no need for much time to condense it.
What he needed to do was to disperse this energy and smoothly guide it into his dantian.
"I wonder to what extent my cultivation will skyrocket after absorbing all of this energy?"
"However, although the advancement of this cultivation is rapid, it will also cause the dou qi inside the body to be unstable, and the foundation will be imbalanced. In the future, a considerable amount of time will be needed to consolidate the cultivation."
Immersed in the pleasure of the rapid surge in cultivation, Gu He remained calm, quietly absorbing and refining these energies.
As time passed slowly, half an hour quickly elapsed.
And at this moment, when Gu He once again guided a strand of dispersed energy into his dantian, the cyclone of his dou qi within his body began to rotate violently in an astonishing manner. His aura also began to surge at this moment.
**Boom!**
With a muffled sound emanating from Gu He's body, a terrifying pressure uncontrollably erupted from him.
This pressure swept towards the surroundings, then penetrated through the distinctive walls of the alchemy room and was eventually blocked by the outer barrier.
Five-Star Dou Emperor!
At this moment, Gu He's cultivation had already broken through to the level of a Five-Star Dou Emperor.
And then, it did not end there.
In Gu He's body, there still remained a large amount of energy, less than a tenth of the absorbed energy from before.
After the breakthrough, Gu He's heart was even more filled with motivation, continuing to absorb the energy within his body.
With the passage of time, Gu He's cultivation continued to make breakthroughs.
**Boom!**
After an hour, the frightening pressure was released once again.
Six-Star Dou Emperor!
At this moment, he had broken through to the realm of a Six-Star Dou Emperor.
With more and more energy pouring into Gu He's body, his aura continued to surge.
Another hour passed, and a muffled sound echoed from within Gu He's body again.
Seven-Star Dou Emperor!
Continuing, more than an hour passed.
**Boom!**
The aura around Gu He underwent another change.
Eight-Star Dou Emperor!
At this moment, Gu He had already stepped into the pinnacle realm of an Eight-Star Dou Emperor!
And with this breakthrough, the energy within Gu He's body was finally completely absorbed.
The next moment, Gu He slowly opened his eyes.
In his black pupils, there were sudden surges of purple flames.
At the same time, a powerful pressure burst forth and uncontrollably rushed towards the outer barrier.
**Boom! Crack!**
Under the impact of this pressure, the outer barrier suddenly appeared somewhat fragile, with cracks emerging.
Seeing this scene, Gu He's expression changed, quickly converging his own aura.
After a few breaths, Gu He's gaze gradually returned to calm.
"So, this is the strength of an Eight-Star Dou Emperor?"
Gu He slowly spread out his hands, sensing the enormous power within him, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The sensation of this rapidly enhanced strength made him feel extremely comfortable.
"However, such a rapid breakthrough inevitably leads to some instability in the dou qi within the body..."
Feeling the situation of the dou qi inside his body, Gu He frowned slightly. Then, with a thought, he activated the Divine Fire Tempering Technique.
Next, the inherent divine fire slowly surged out, gradually enveloping his body.
As the inherent divine fire wrapped around his entire body, even infiltrating between his limbs and bones, Gu He suddenly felt a piercing pain.
At this moment, it was as if he were being directly placed on a fiery rack and burned.
Forcing himself to endure the intense pain, Gu He gritted his teeth, allowing the inherent divine fire to roam freely within his body.
After three hours, the inherent divine fire on Gu He's body slowly dissipated
.
Then, Gu He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of purple flames flickering in his pupils.
After assessing the condition inside his body, a satisfied expression appeared on Gu He's face.
This Divine Fire Tempering Technique is truly extraordinary!
Through the recent Divine Fire Tempering, the previously caused instability in the internal dou qi due to the rapid increase in cultivation had been completely resolved.
Feeling the profound and pure power within his body, Gu He's face finally showed a contented expression.
