Chapter 186: Martial Arts Inheritance, Dragon Grotto
Inside the Temple of Stars.
Gu Yi looked up at the sky above the temple.
It was a dazzling sea of stars, with countless stars shining brightly and exerting their power.
These star powers fell on Gu Yi, causing his heart to beat violently.
The Star Martial Soul, which was originally suppressed by the rules of the Fallen Demon Realm, seemed to have become active again and began to absorb the power of the sun, moon and stars again.
No, this is not an illusion.
A crackling sound was heard in Gu Yi's ears, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body.
His cultivation level recovered and returned to the peak of Xuanwu.
"It seems that Lin Feng has accepted the Buddha-Devil inheritance and used it to break the rules of the Fallen Demon Realm." Gu Yi smiled and said, "I can't fall behind either."
Gu Yi looked at the sea of stars, looking at the seven largest and most dazzling stars on it.
These are the seven magical martial arts inheritances of the Star Temple. The required starlight seeds increase from left to right.
Gu Yi did not hesitate. With a thought, the seven points of starlight that could be used between his eyebrows were immediately connected with the brightest star on the right.
Suddenly, huge waves arose in Gu Yi's sea of consciousness, and his head seemed to be about to explode.
A huge amount of memory rushed into his mind, causing his body to tremble slightly.
This memory is in no way inferior to the memory of the Venerable that he received in the Purple Mansion in the past. It is vast and magnificent.
Gu Yi immediately sat cross-legged and carefully accepted this inherited memory.
At this moment, an endless and vast sea of stars appeared in Gu Yi's mind, and the pictures evolving in it were extremely clear.
To the east of the sea of stars, there are seven star clusters shining brightly, like exploding suns, extremely dazzling, and endless star power gathered together.
The next second, a shockingly huge star dragon was suddenly born, with its head raised high, roaring and soaring through the galaxy.
"The Seven Stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon!"
Gu Yi's eyes widened and he immediately recognized that these were the seven eastern constellations of Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji among the twenty-eight constellations in his memory.
At the same time, in the west, south and north of the starry sea, the power of brilliant stars also bloomed.
Ao! Clang! Ang!
Three roars that shook the sea of stars rang out, and the three sacred beasts of the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise condensed and appeared, facing the Azure Dragon from a distance.
The entire sea of stars was boiling because of their appearance!
The Four Symbols and the Twenty-Eight Constellations!
Gu Yi's face was solemn, his eyes fixed on the sea of stars and the Four Symbols Constellations beasts above his head, observing the trajectory of the constellations and comprehending the rhyme of the star laws contained therein.
…
Inside the Temple of the Gun at the other end of the Fallen Demon Realm.
Gu Xiao, the son of the Blood God, also used seven starlight seeds to unlock the highest level of magical power inheritance.
At this moment, the temple was filled with monstrous spear intent, demonic intent, and murderous intent!
As Gu Xiao sat cross-legged on the futon, an ancient battlefield appeared in his mind.
This ancient battlefield was littered with corpses, and endless corpses and blood gathered into a sea of blood.
In the center of the battlefield, a straight black mountain a thousand feet high rose into the sky.
If you look closely, you can see that this mountain is clearly a sky-lifting magic spear, with the tip of the spear pointing to the sky, emitting countless spear beams and demonic energy.
Gu Xiao's mind was shaken violently. He felt a will that stood proudly in the heavens and the earth, and would rather break than bend, and was indomitable from this giant spear!
I vow to tear the sky apart and kill all living things!
Gu Xiao took a deep breath, concentrating all his attention on this Sky-lifting Demonic Spear, trying to comprehend the will it exuded.
It seems to be the origin of the gun, containing countless mysteries of the gun. Every second that Gu Yi observes it, he can gain many insights.
All the various spear techniques that he had practiced before, Asking the Sky, Broken Soul, Gale, Chasing the Star, Mad Lion... every move flowed through his mind, evolving and merging bit by bit, turning into new spear techniques.
…
In the Fallen Demon Realm, those who had just recovered their cultivation were about to engage in a bloody battle again to seize more starlight seeds.
Suddenly the surrounding space began to tremble again.
Xue Wuchang outside was stunned and extremely surprised.
How long has it been?
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the third temple was opened?
In the Fallen Demon Realm, when the geniuses step into the temple, it does not count as the true opening of the temple.
Only by imprinting the seven cultivation seeds into the treasure of the temple can the temple be truly opened and cause the Fallen Demon Realm to tremble.
"I don't know which three people got the opportunity to enter the temple." Xue Wuchang murmured.
The duration of this round was beyond his expectations.
However, considering the number of remaining talents, the results of the first round were good, as most of them were eliminated.
Buzz...
A wave of energy spread out, and the Fallen Demon Realm disappeared in the eyes of countless people watching the battle, revealing a flat ground.
On the plain, some people were fighting, some were practicing, and some turned into soundless corpses.
"What a magical Fallen Demon Realm. How did the people in the Shrine arrange it?"
The crowd was amazed, their hearts trembling, and they felt that the Divine Palace was worthy of being a super power that could host the Snow Region Competition.
This kind of means was far beyond their imagination and was much more powerful than the power of a Tianwu realm expert.
"Alright, the first round of the Snow Region Competition is over. Everyone, stop fighting."
Xue Wuchang opened his mouth slowly, and his rumbling voice echoed in the Fallen Mountain Range, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
The people who were still fighting below separated and stopped.
The temple had disappeared along with the Fallen Demon Realm, and the starlight seeds between their brows were gone. There was no point in fighting any further.
Everyone looked at the remaining geniuses and found that only sixty-four survived the first round!
It was terrible that this Fallen Demon Realm had killed so many geniuses.
They were all the most dazzling figures in the Thirteen Kingdoms of the Snow Region, but now they died here quietly.
Each of the four major imperial forces suffered heavy losses.
But overall, the Longshan Empire is better, as they have more surviving geniuses than the other three empires.
On the Xueyue Kingdom side alone, there were eight people alive.
Many people's faces turned grim and ugly because they saw the talented disciples in their own families or forces die in the Fallen Demon Realm.
The head of the Yu family in Xueyue Country is one of them.
Yu Jian and Yu Qin from their family were the two geniuses who died in the Xueyue Kingdom this time.
On the contrary, Lin Feng and others, whose cultivation is weaker than Yu Jian and Yu Qin, are still alive.
At this moment, Gu Yi, Gu Xiao and Lin Feng were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, practicing and digesting the magical skills and martial arts they had obtained from the temple.
Some of the talented and powerful people around had flickering and fierce eyes, wondering whether to take this opportunity to attack them.
But when they saw the two fairies walking towards them step by step in the air, they were startled and quickly gave up the idea.
With two people in the Tianwu realm present, there was no way their little tricks would succeed.
Once they take action, they will be the ones to die.
After a few breaths, Gu Yi slowly opened his eyes, which were as bright as stars. His heart was beating violently, and two small soul rings enveloped the heart area, assisting the star martial soul to madly absorb the power of the sun and stars in the sky.
"The first round of the Snow Region Competition is over. The second round will be a battle for ranking. If you are ranked in the front, you will face the people ranked behind. On the contrary, if you are ranked behind, you will first face the strong people ranked in the front."
Xue Wuchang stood in the void, overlooking the entire arena: "So you must seize this round well."
"I'll give you one day to recuperate. See you at the Jiaolong Grotto at this time tomorrow."
After Xue Wuchang finished speaking, his body immediately flew into the air and left the Fallen Mountains directly.
On the ground, Di Ling, Xue Sha and others returned to a main peak respectively, sat cross-legged to practice, and digested what they had gained in the Fallen Demon Realm.
Although they did not obtain the temple's most powerful magical skills like Gu Yi, they also killed many people and obtained six or seven cultivation seeds, from which they exchanged for several earth-level martial arts.
If they could integrate these martial arts into their own martial arts, it would enhance their strength.
Di Ling and his men had more or less fought with Gu Yi briefly in the Fallen Demon Realm, and knew how powerful he was.
If they don't seize the time to improve their strength, the first place in the Snow Region Competition will have nothing to do with them.
Gu Yi and his companions also returned to the main peak. After a brief conversation, they all entered a state of cultivation.
…
The crowd gathered at the Fallen Mountain Range gradually dispersed, and they headed towards the direction of the Dragon Grotto.
There were also some people who did not leave and continued to stay in the mountains to practice and consolidate their cultivation.
As night falls, the sky is filled with stars and the bright moon shines its clear moonlight.
Gu Yi's star martial soul took effect and continuously absorbed their energy.
Starlight emerged on his body and evolved into four mini star beasts, some roaring, some spreading their wings, some flying, and some crawling, in various shapes and lifelike.
Afterwards, each star beast split into seven star clusters, totaling twenty-eight.
Faintly, you can see animal-shaped shadows among the star cluster.
They operated according to specific rules in the ancient Yi, evolving into a star map that corresponded to the twenty-eight constellations in the sky.
In the cave on the other side of the main peak, a man had a wisp of spear intent rising and falling from his body. It slowly grew stronger over time, carrying a sharp aura that was about to break through the sky.
At that moment, countless gunshots burst out from his body and pierced into the wall of the cave, leaving countless gunshot marks...
Gu Yi gained a lot this time. He and Gu Xiao, the son of the Blood God, each obtained a piece of inherited memory from the Temple of Stars and the Temple of Guns.
Among them, what is obtained from the Temple of Stars is the [Four Constellations Secret], and what is obtained from the Temple of Gun is the [Heavenly Gun Canon].
The two magical martial arts include many methods, including defense, attack, and body movements. It is a complete martial arts inheritance, not much worse than the heavenly level martial arts.
Even in the Temple of God, it is the most advanced magical power.
It can be seen from this that the martial arts heritage of these two temples comes from ancient relics and was not built by the strong men of the temple themselves.
After all, this is only the first round of the Snow Region Competition, and the Divine Palace is not so generous as to give away the strongest inheritance of its power.
Gu Yi and others are not from their temple.
In addition, Gu Yi's three major artistic conception powers of gun, magic, and stars have all been greatly improved.
And as Gu Yi continued to practice the two magical martial arts, his understanding of the artistic conception continued to improve.
This efficiency is much faster than Gu Yi's previous understanding by himself.
This is the benefit brought by the inheritance of high-level martial arts.
Heavenly-level skills and martial arts all contain the artistic conception perceived by their creators, and are like a guiding light, leading future generations to comprehend them step by step.
Why is Gu Yi's flame state of mind far superior to other state of mind powers, leaving others far behind and reaching the eighth level?
It's because he possesses all kinds of strange fires of heaven and earth, and the Blood Yang Sutra he practices has evolved to the top level of heavenly grade.
If Gu Yi is given a few more months, he may even be able to reach the threshold of the mysteries of fire.
However, his understanding of the laws of gunmanship, blood, life, etc., improved very slowly.
That's why.
The spear skills that Gu Yi had learned earlier gradually failed to keep up with his needs; the Blood Path was mainly based on the ten soul skills, supplemented by some fighting skills obtained from the Blood Sect...
They need Gu Yi and the Blood God Sons to explore on their own, to comprehend the laws little by little, and to improve.
During this period, it is inevitable that you will take some detours and spend more energy.
This is also based on the premise that Gu Yi has a high level of comprehension, has the Zhutian Gate, and can obtain resources in different worlds.
An ordinary martial artist who does not have a high-level martial arts inheritance may not be able to reach a higher level of artistic conception for several years or even more than ten years.
"It will be soon... Once we enter the Jade Emperor's Tomb, we will be able to obtain more heavenly-level skills and an imperial scripture, as well as countless artistic conception crystals and mystery crystals, which will be used to enhance the artistic conception of the major laws." Gu Yi said secretly in his heart.
The Crystals of Artistic Conception and the Crystals of Mystery are the cultivation resources corresponding to the Tianwu Realm and the Zunwu Realm. They contain the power of artistic conception and mystery, which can enable people to feel it.
Of course, the prerequisite is that it needs to match the artistic conception and mystery that you have comprehended.
If someone wants to comprehend the artistic conception of the way of the spear, he can comprehend the artistic conception of the way of the spear faster if he obtains the crystal of the artistic conception of the way of the spear.
If you obtain other types of artistic conception crystals, although it will help you to comprehend other aspects, the effect will not be strong.
The crystals of artistic conception and the crystals of mystery can be divided into innate and acquired.
The crystal of innate artistic conception is extremely precious. It is condensed by heaven and earth itself and contains the purest rhyme of the laws of heaven and earth.
The crystal of acquired artistic conception is born under the influence of external objects.
For example, a spear that possesses a spirit and contains the artistic conception of spearmanship, when it is placed in one place for a very long time, it is possible that a crystal of the artistic conception of spearmanship will be born.
Or a powerful martial artist who practices in seclusion in one place to comprehend the artistic conception may also give birth to an artistic conception crystal.
The same is true for the Crystal of Mystery.
To be precise, the Jade Emperor's Tomb is the Jade Emperor's small world, where many Zunwu and Tianwu masters once lived, especially a Wuhuang master!
When they practiced, they naturally exuded a strong artistic conception and profound aura, thus giving birth to countless artistic conception crystals and profound crystals.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
For example, when Gu Yi obtained the sacred artifact, the Space Scroll, he did not find the Crystal of the Mystery of Space in the cave. Neither did Lin Feng find the Crystal of the Mystery of Magic in the Jiulong Mountains where he obtained the sacred artifact, the Magic Sword.
This shows how harsh the conditions for its birth are.
However, if Gu Yi wants to obtain the Crystal of Artistic Conception, it will take three months.
Now, I will continue to practice these skills and martial arts, and comprehend the Taoism contained therein.
However, this time, Gu Yi hadn't practiced for long before he was awakened by the movement around him.
Gu Yi's eyes flashed, and his soul power immediately spread out to check what he found around him.
It turned out that when Gu Yi was practicing before, the disciples of the Tiansha Sect of the Black Feather Empire began to take action.
In the dark night, black coffins kept flying and moving in the Fallen Mountains, looking for their targets.
The Tiansha Sect practices the art of devouring corpses, which can transform corpse qi into true essence. The flesh, blood, and corpses of other martial artists are equivalent to the nourishment for their practice. Right now,
there are tens of thousands of ordinary spectators left in the Fallen Sky Mountains.
How could they waste such an opportunity?
Even Blood Evil, one of the eight most powerful geniuses, took advantage of the darkness and came to the place where the Fallen Demon Realm disappeared, and absorbed the corpse qi of dozens of dead geniuses.
In a short period of time, hundreds of people died in the Fallen Sky Mountain Range at the hands of the Tiansha Sect's disciples.
However, soon, the disciples of Tiansha Sect encountered a tough opponent. Not only did they fail to kill the opponent, but several of them were killed instead.
That tough guy was Lin Feng.
Originally, Lin Feng was practicing swordsmanship in the cave, when he suddenly felt a force in the distance that resonated with his swordsmanship, causing him to feel a sense of connection.
So Lin Feng left the main peak of Yunhai Sect and went to the Fallen Sky Mountains to look for this summoning power.
Finally, he found a corpse and a bloody sword in a cave.
But he also met several disciples of the Tiansha Sect and a fight broke out.
The death of the Tiansha Sect's disciple alarmed the Tiansha Sect's Xuesha, and the two started a fierce battle not far from the main peak.
Even though Lin Feng's cultivation was only at the fifth level of Xuanwu, he had inherited the knowledge in the Buddha and Demon Temple, and had cultivated the Nine Revolutions of Buddha and Demon to more than six thousand Buddha magic powers. He also had the Blood-Drinking Sword, a heavenly weapon that had just recognized its master, in his hand.
It is still possible to fight against the Blood Evil Sect once or twice.
"Humph! Bloody Evil, I am a member of the Yunhai Sect, how can I allow you to bully me!"
A cold snort sounded in the ears of Lin Feng and Xue Sha.
The next second, Gu Yi's figure appeared, and a star-shaped palm print slapped towards Xue Sha.
"Corpse Palm!"
Feeling this powerful attack, Xuesha's pupils shrank. He did not dare to be careless at all. He quickly shook his palms and mobilized the terrifying and cold corpse evil true energy to respond.
Boom!
With a loud noise, Xuesha retreated more than ten meters, his expression gloomy and murderous.
"Gu Yi, this man killed my Tiansha Sect disciples, I must kill him!"
Gu Yi said calmly: "It depends on whether you have the ability."
"You!" Xuesha's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he couldn't wait to attack.
But at the critical moment, he still held back.
He knew that he was no match for Gu Yi now, not to mention that there were two Tianwu realm masters beside Gu Yi. If he took action now, he would only be courting death.
Xuesha understood that he needed to be patient. He wanted to transform the corpse qi he had just absorbed into his body into true essence so that his strength could break through to the ninth level of Xuanwu.
Then he took revenge in the subsequent Snow Region Competition and killed Gu Yi and Lin Feng.
As for the two Tianwu realm masters of Yunhai Sect, it would not be too late to take action after his master arrived.
His Tiansha Sect is different from the sects in other empires. It is the strongest force in the Black Feather Empire, even stronger than the royal family.
Xue Sha's master has reached the middle level of Tianwu, which makes him much stronger than those two women of low level Tianwu. He can suppress them one by one.
Xuesha sneered, and a hint of lust flashed in his eyes.
At that time, he would like to see whether these two fairy-like strong men can still maintain their current posture.
Gu Yi's soul power was so sharp that he immediately noticed the change in Xue Sha's eyes.
Gu Yi's eyes turned cold, and he raised his right hand slightly. A bloody hand fell from the sky and slapped Xue Sha hard.
"Damn it!" Xuesha's pupils constricted, and he quickly made a hand gesture. A black coffin appeared out of thin air, and he put him into it at the critical moment.
The bloody hand slapped the black coffin, and a terrifying force suddenly erupted, knocking it directly away and crashing into a mountain several miles away.
As the boulder rolled down, several cracks appeared on the black coffin visible to the naked eye, and the bloody demon inside spurted out several mouthfuls of blood.
"This is just a lesson. Your head will remain on your neck for now. I will take it away in the third round of the competition."
——Gu Yi originally wanted to kill Blood Evil with one move, but to do this, he needed to use the strength of the Heavenly Martial Realm.
And he could feel that there was a powerful divine thought covering the sky, and the aura was exactly that of Xue Wuchang, the messenger of the Divine Palace.
So Gu Yi restrained his strength and kept it within the range of Xuanwu realm.
There is no rush to kill the blood demon at this moment.
Gu Yi's voice echoed in the Fallen Mountain Range, attracting countless people's attention.
Di Ling, Ling Xiao and others from the other main peaks watched the whole process silently, their eyes full of solemnity.
Repelling the Blood Demon with one move, even they couldn't do it with such strength.
Gu Yi's strength was far beyond their expectations, and his power was already infinitely close to that of a Tianwu realm expert.
Di Ling's eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and he clenched his hands tightly: "No wonder he was able to kill Duan Wudao, he is really strong enough!"
Having said that, Di Ling did not intend to admit defeat.
There are still two rounds of the Snow Region Competition, and there are still opportunities to be gained. He will definitely be able to improve his strength and take his Cang Tian realm to a higher level, surpassing Gu Yi!
...
A day is not long and passes quickly.
The second round of the Snow Region Competition is about to begin.
Everyone came to the Jiaolong Grotto.
The Jiaolong Grotto is located in the central area of the maze city, at the other end of the main battlefield of the Snow Region Competition. It is about ten miles long, like a mountain range.
Its entrance is extremely vast, like a huge dragon's mouth, with a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one.
On the other side of these 9981 dragon mouths, there is only one exit, which is the main battle stage for the third round of the Snow Region Competition.
After passing through the Jiaolong Grotto, the remaining geniuses can directly step onto the battlefield for the ultimate decisive battle.
At this moment, the entrance of the Jiaolong Grotto was bustling with noise and countless people gathered here.
They have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
After the second round, it will be the final battle.
By then, who will stand at the top of the Snowland Competition stage and become the most dazzling genius?
Among the remaining geniuses, who will fall on the battlefield?
Sixty-four geniuses were all quietly waiting for Xue Wuchang's arrival.
This round is to determine the ranking and the battle order of everyone in the third round.
So everyone will try their best to rank higher.
In this way, they would not have to face Gu Yi, Jun Moxi and the eight most powerful geniuses on the stage of the final battle.
They knew very well that if they faced the Eight Ancient Yi, they would not have a single chance and would be knocked off the stage.
Suddenly, a whirlwind came whistling, and Xue Wuchang's figure appeared in front of everyone.
He stood in the void, looking at the crowd on the ground.
"The rules for the second round are very simple. Everyone enters the Jiaolong Grotto from a different entrance and passes through as quickly as possible."
"At the exit of Jiaolong Grotto, there is a jade key engraved with numbers. The number you get represents your ranking."
"And those who get the top-ranked jade keys are eligible to choose their opponents. The first-ranked person will choose first, followed by the second-ranked person, and so on."
"Those who rank lower can only be selected. Of course, those who are selected first are not allowed to fight those who rank in the top ten."
The geniuses from the four empires and the crowd watching the battle below all nodded.
This second round of the Snow Region Competition is similar to previous competitions in that the battle order is determined by rankings.
And in order to prevent the strong from clashing first, another rule set is that the top ten people cannot be selected.
It will not be until the last moment of the third round that the top ten will compete to decide the winner.
Xue Wuchang said: "Now, sixty-four people, stand in front of the entrance of the Jiaolong Grotto, ready to step in at any time to start the second round!"
Swish, swish, swish~
One after another, the geniuses' bodies flashed out and came to the entrance of the Jiaolong Grotto. The true energy in their bodies began to surge, brewing as they prepared to step in.
"Come in."
Following Xue Wuchang's order, powerful auras suddenly burst out, and everyone stepped into the Dragon Cave, wanting to pass through as quickly as possible.
No one wants to fall behind.
Getting the jade key from the top ranking means that you have absolute initiative in your hands and can choose others to fight instead of being chosen by others.
Gu Yi nodded slightly to Xiao Yixiang, Qing Lin and others, then stepped in.
As all the geniuses disappeared into the dragon's mouth.
Xue Wuchang and the crowd of onlookers moved their positions and headed to the square where the main battle stage was located, waiting for them to pass the second round.
Inside the Jiaolong Grotto.
The first thing Gu Yi encountered was a water door. He could clearly see his own shadow on it.
Gu Yi did not stop and stepped over the water gate.
In an instant, the water gate turned into a ripple and disappeared into the curved cave.
Gu Yi looked at the disappearing Minato with calm eyes and continued to fly forward.
A beam of blood moved quickly in the passage, and soon a group of stone men appeared in front of Gu Yi, like a huge wall, blocking him.
Each of these stone puppets possesses the strength of the peak of the Xuanwu Realm, and is at the same realm as Gu Yi.
"broken!"
Golden Buddha light flickered in Gu Yi's hand, and it condensed into a series of Buddha seals, which shattered all the stone puppets.
They couldn't even stop Gu Yi for a second.
But the next second, another water gate appeared in front of him, energy surged in it, and a figure slowly walked out.
Its appearance is exactly the same as Gu Yi's.
Even the power within the body is the same.
However, this time, Gu Yi did not attack the replicator. Instead, he passed by it calmly with a calm expression and without releasing any energy fluctuations from his body.
This figure is nothing but a mirage, copying the other person's every move.
Once you start, it's like fighting another self.
This is also the first reaction of most people, who will choose to break through themselves and defeat themselves.
But in this way, even if a genius is able to defeat another self, it will still waste a lot of time.
If one has less talent or state of mind, he might even be killed by his other self.
But if you give up attacking and ignore it, it will not attack on its own.
Ignoring it is the best option to pass this level.
He had already told Xiao Yixiang and the others the secret of this level in advance.
Gu Yi continued to walk deeper into the passage, and soon, a lava and flame passage appeared in front of him. There were terrible flames on all sides, filled with endless hot breath.
This flame force also has the power of the peak Xuanwu realm.
But for Gu Yi, who possesses the Blood Yang Meridian and masters five kinds of strange fires from heaven and earth, the difficulty is zero.
There was not even a drop of sweat on Gu Yi's face.
Even when passing through this several-mile-long flame channel, Gu Yi circulated the Blood Yang Meridian, bursting out with a powerful suction force, directly sucking away all the energy in the flame channel.
This tremendous energy allowed the nine red soul rings of Gu Yi's three martial souls to be upgraded to a million years and turned into golden soul rings.
