Chapter 76: Return to the Cloud Mist Sect

Chapter 76: Return to the Cloud Mist Sect

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, two more days had gone by.

On the cliff, Gu He was enveloped in purple flames, resembling a cocoon of violet light.

Beside him, Little Gold guarded silently, keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings.

As time elapsed, the purple cocoon gradually deepened.

In the next moment, without any warning, the purple cocoon directly transformed into strands of purple flames, drilling into Gu He's body and disappearing.

Subsequently, Gu He slowly opened his eyes, and in his pitch-black pupils, flashes of lightning streaked like a thunderstorm.

At that moment, on the silent cliff, even the air emitted a faint crackling sound.

With the opening of these eyes, a majestic aura, as if dormant for countless ages, finally awakened like an army on the move. Slowly raising its head, it roared towards the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Under this aura, several subtle tremors appeared on the entire cliff, and cracks as thick as arms spread like a spider web from Gu He's sitting position, covering every corner of the cliff.

"Crack!"

The cyan stone suddenly made a faint sound, and then tiny cracks suddenly appeared. At an incredibly fast speed, they spread across the entire cyan stone. Finally, with a low sound, the cyan stone directly turned into countless fragments, exploding.

While the cyan stone shattered, Gu He, sitting on it, remained motionless. His legs were crossed in midair without relying on any external force.

"Indeed, after the tempering of the Divine Fire, the Dou Qi has become extremely pure."

Gu He slowly spread his hands, feeling the surging Dou Qi in his body like a torrential flood. A faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. At this moment, a feeling of grandeur, as if holding the world in his hands, surged from his heart.

At the same time, a powerful soul force, centered on his body, swept out like a storm in all directions.

The vigorous soul force quickly spread out of the cliff, enveloping the entire mountain range.

As the soul force scanned the mountain range, Gu He observed the situation throughout the entire mountain range. As the soul force expanded to the mountains, it did not stop there. Instead, it continued to shoot toward the outside of the mountains.

The mighty soul force completely spread to an area of hundreds of miles. However, it seemed to have reached a certain limit.

Therefore, when Gu He's soul force reached a certain place, it became difficult to make any progress. Seeing this, Gu He's mind moved, and the soul force that had spread out like lightning suddenly retracted. In just a few breaths, it completely retracted into Gu He's body.

As the soul force returned to his body, Gu He slightly tilted his head back, exhaled a long breath, slowly stood up, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

The feeling of breakthrough is truly something to savor!

Afterward, Gu He looked at Little Gold beside him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

During this time, Little Gold had been guarding by his side without leaving a step.

For the usually playful Little Gold, this was indeed rare.

You should know that it is still a magical beast, and even with acquired intelligence, it cannot change its lively nature.

However, for the sake of his safety, it could suppress its nature and firmly guard this place.

"Master, I'm hungry..."

Seeing Gu He wake up, Little Gold instantly delighted, and in its childish voice, there was a hint of grievance.

At these words, Gu He was momentarily stunned, then looked at Little Gold apologetically, "Sorry for making you suffer."

Afterward, Gu He took out several fourth-grade pills from his storage ring and tossed them to Little Gold.

Little Gold opened its mouth and accurately swallowed the pills. It arched its body towards Gu He, making a satisfied gesture.

Gu He smiled and patted the golden feathers on Little Gold's head.

"Let's go back to the Cloud Mist Sect."

He had spent a full ten days on this trip, and he wondered if his two disciples had been diligent.

As Gu He's words fell, Little Gold immediately spread its wings and soared high. Gu He leaped lightly, landing on Little Gold's back. Together, the man and the beast swiftly headed towards the direction of the Cloud Mist Sect.

...

Half an hour later

Cloud Mist Sect.

Gu He's figure slowly descended into the courtyard, with Little Gold standing on his shoulder.

Upon returning to the sect, Gu He did not conceal his presence.

Just as he landed in the courtyard, he saw his second disciple running in from outside the courtyard in excitement, joyfully throwing herself into Gu He's arms, "Teacher, you're finally back! Disciple was so worried about you."

A smile appeared on Gu He's face, and he patted the little doctor's back gently, comforting her softly, "Didn't I say I would

be away for a few days? What's there to worry about?"

However, Xiao Yi Xian seemed a bit dissatisfied, pouting, "Hmph, Teacher, you promised it would only take two or three days, but now it's been ten days. Can disciple not worry?"

At these words, Gu He's face showed a touch of embarrassment. He hadn't expected that this breakthrough after taking the Emperor Supreme Pill would take so long.

"Alright, Teacher is back safely now, isn't he?" Gu He rubbed the little doctor's head and consoled her gently.

At this, Little Xiao Yi Xian slowly let go, leaving Gu He's embrace.

"During the time Teacher was away, your cultivation hasn't fallen behind, has it?" Walking out of the pavilion, Gu He casually asked Little Doctor Immortal.

At these words, Little Doctor Immortal raised a confident smile and said playfully, "Teacher, I haven't been lazy. I have already broken through to the six-star Dou Master. Given another ten days, I can directly break through to the seven-star Dou Master realm."

Gu He nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, "Good, it seems that you, little girl, haven't been lazy during my absence."

Xiao Yi Xian picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Gu He, and said obediently, "Disciple wouldn't dare to be lazy."

Gu He lifted the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "During this time, did anyone come to see me?"

At these words, Xiao Yi Xian thought for a moment and replied, "Senior Brother came a few times. He told me to notify him as soon as you return; he should be on the verge of breaking through to the Dou Master realm."

"That kid is finally about to break through?"

At these words, a relieved expression appeared in Gu He's eyes. After spending so much spiritual liquid, it was about time for Liu Ling to break through.

It had been a month since the last time he passed on his skills and bestowed spiritual liquid to Liu Ling. If Liu Ling successfully broke through, he could continue to reward him.

This time, the transmission of skills might help him break through to the Dou Zong realm with a single leap.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Gu He's mouth.

"By the way, Teacher, three days ago, the Sect Master also came to see Teacher."

"The Sect Master? She should have broken through by now, right?"

Gu He looked at Little Doctor Immortal with confusion, "What did she come to me for?"
