EBE Chapter 279 The Battle of the Sacred Refining: Does Feng Ruoxi Suspect Gu Jiancheng?!
Chapter 279 The Battle of the Sacred Refining: Does Feng Ruoxi Suspect Gu Jiancheng?!
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng activated his Insightful Eyes, but found that even with his cheat-like abilities, he still couldn't see what Ji Lingchen looked like.
It seems we can only wait.
"Haha, you don't need to think so much. Ji Lingchen is very likely to be the first to advance to Saint King, but don't let it disturb your Dao heart."
Shangguan Lin patted Gu Jiancheng on the shoulder.
As fellow humans, Ji Lingchen was born a top-tier prodigy, possessing almost the strongest talent and bloodline among humans, and he had never been deprived of Dao Palace resources.
Gu Jiancheng, on the other hand, rose to his position step by step on his own; the two started from different points.
"It will not disturb my Daoist mind."
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng took out his identity token.
Including the alien souls he handed over, he now has over 1.1 million merit points.
If the nine-layered magic array is activated, it will take about six months, which is already quite good.
But since he was already here, Gu Jiancheng was naturally not satisfied with the nine-layer formation. He was determined to try and break through to the tenth layer!
However, if the tenth layer of the magic array is activated, his more than one million merit points can only sustain his cultivation for three months.
But considering that the battle between the Underworld Clan and the Holy Dao Palace will probably break out in less than three months, that should be enough.
"Kid, are you ready?"
At this moment, Xu Chong stepped forward, crossed his arms, and glared at Gu Jiancheng.
"I'm waiting for you to kneel before me!"
Gu Jiancheng simply smiled and rushed into the Sacred Refining Pool, finding a random area on the edge to sit down.
This Sacred Refining Pool is extremely large; we only consider the array level, not the location.
"Humph!"
Watching Gu Jiancheng's figure gradually disappear into the formation, Xu Chong looked behind him and said, "We ask all the seniors to bear witness for us!"
"Elder Shangguan, surely you won't show favoritism?"
"Hehe, of course not, you can go ahead!" Shangguan Lin nodded and smiled.
"it is good!"
Upon seeing this, Xu Chong nodded and rushed in as well. The magic array was activated, and his figure disappeared.
At this moment, many cultivators from the Tian Shu Palace also rushed over upon hearing the news.
After all, Gu Jiancheng is a newly promoted disciple of the Tian Shu Hall, and he has such a deep hatred for the Xu family. One was the former number one of the Tian Xuan Hall, and the other is the current number one of the Tian Shu Hall. Their bet is quite interesting.
In fact, there were already quite a few disciples from the four halls outside the Sacred Refining Pool, and the disciples from the Tianheng Hall hurriedly went to call people over.
After all, something this fun hasn't happened in a long time.
At this moment, inside the magic array, Gu Jiancheng was already sitting cross-legged on the sacred pool.
He first used his Insightful Eyes to carefully examine the magic array. After confirming that the array was truly impenetrable to outsiders, he was still not at ease. He then raised his hand and summoned Yin-Yang Qi, using ancient magic array techniques to construct another barrier, enveloping himself.
Only then did I feel relieved.
Such an isolation barrier comes from the Boundary Gate of the Outer Heavens Secret Realm, and is of extremely high grade.
With the added blessing of Yin and Yang energy, Gu Jiancheng was confident that even those in the Immortal Ascension Realm would not be able to peek into his abilities.
Only then did Gu Jiancheng raise his hand and activate the Sacred Pool Formation.
hum!
The next moment, the magic array beneath him hummed, its light suddenly blazing, the pool water began to surge, and spiritual energy began to gather.
The first layer of the magic circle!
To Gu Jiancheng's surprise, the time flow rate was already fifty times faster on just the first level!
As expected of the Sacred Refining Pool, it's truly monstrous.
Gu Jiancheng then activated the formation again, and the formation's level began to rise continuously.
Two floors!
Three floors!
Fifth floor!
In the blink of an eye, the water in the Holy Refining Pool began to boil, and the flow of time reached an astonishing ninety times!
Not only that, the spiritual energy in the sacred pool was also concentrated a hundredfold. The pressure that rushed towards the body was something that even an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator would absolutely not be able to withstand, and there was even a risk of being blown away!
Although Gu Jiancheng was not at the Saint Realm level, his Heaven-Burning Overlord Body was incredibly powerful. This spiritual pressure was like a tickle to him.
The fifth floor, in particular, would not satisfy Gu Jiancheng.
At this moment, outside the Sacred Refining Pool, all the cultivators of the Heavenly Pivot Palace couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate.
Because the number five appeared on both Gu Jiancheng's and Xu Chong's magic arrays.
"They're all five-layered magic arrays?"
"Xu Chong's previous record was six levels, so Gu Jiancheng's ability to persist to five levels should be his limit, right?"
"That's right. He's just the number one in Tianxuan Palace. I heard he doesn't even have a Saint Realm inheritance. He only managed to advance to Tianshu Palace by using some kind of array technique and evil cultivation method. If he dares to activate the sixth layer of the array, his physical body will definitely explode and he will die!"
"The outcome will be decided soon!"
The disciples of the Heavenly Pivot Palace were all discussing amongst themselves, and the Xu family cultivators couldn't help but grin maliciously.
hum!
But the next moment, the number six appeared on Gu Jiancheng and Xu Chong's magic array at the same time!
The formation has six layers!?
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped.
It wasn't surprising that Xu Chong activated the six-layered magic array, but Gu Jiancheng didn't hesitate at all!
If that's the case, wouldn't Xu Chong need to activate the seven-layered magic array to win?
But that would be a huge challenge for Xu Chong!
"Gu Jiancheng is probably courting death. Even if the six-layered magic array is activated, he definitely won't last long!"
"That's right, just wait to die!"
In an instant, all the Xu family cultivators couldn't help but roar.
hum!
At this moment, the number on the magic array where Xu Chong was located changed from six to seven.
The power of a seven-layered magic array!
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Lin frowned. Sure enough, Xu Chong had come prepared and had now forcibly activated the seventh layer of the magic array.
Therefore, if Gu Jiancheng wants to win the bet, he needs to activate the eighth layer of the magic array.
But for Gu Jiancheng, who was only at the Dao Integration Realm, this was harder than climbing to heaven.
However, a draw would be great!
Shangguan Lin can only console himself now.
But at this moment, the Xu family cultivators burst into wild laughter, extremely excited.
Xu Cong has broken through to the seventh level, so he is sure to win this bet!
The Xu family is finally going to get their revenge!
They were already thinking about how to humiliate Gu Jiancheng.
hum!
But the next moment, what froze the smiles of all the Xu family cultivators was that the number seven had also appeared on Gu Jiancheng's magic array!
Layers of spiritual energy surrounded Gu Jiancheng's magic array, dazzling like a giant cocoon.
"No, that's impossible!"
"How dare he, a mere Dao Integration Realm cultivator, activate the seventh layer of the formation?!"
"Gu Jiancheng definitely won't last ten breaths!"
In an instant, the Xu family members' expressions changed, and they all started shouting.
If they are both at the seventh level, it seems like a tie, but Xu Chong's cultivation and talent are stronger, and his status is higher, so wouldn't he have lost?
At this moment, even Shangguan Lin himself became nervous. His large hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly, as if he was even more nervous than Gu Jiancheng!
hum!
But at that moment, the magic array where Gu Jiancheng was located suddenly trembled violently. Countless magic array runes circled around it, and a dazzling light suddenly rippled outwards. The water in the surrounding sacred pool began to boil, and the extremely dense spiritual energy liquefied into streams of water, intertwining and merging into the magic array.
Above Gu Jiancheng's magic array, an eight appeared!
The eighth layer of the magic array!?
In an instant, the Xu family cultivators swayed, wilting like frostbitten eggplants.
The eighth floor!?
Even in the Tianheng Palace, no more than twenty people could activate such a formation!
In the present-day Tian Shu Palace, no one has ever opened it!
But how did Gu Jiancheng manage to do that?!
Just as Gu Jiancheng's betting game had reached its climax, Feng Ruoxi suddenly appeared inside the forbidden area of the Dao Palace.
She took out an ancient token and stepped into a separate space.
The space was filled with intertwined magic arrays, and the terrifying aura was something even a cultivator at the Immortal Ascension Realm could not withstand. However, because it was enveloped by the energy of the Ancient Decree, Feng Ruoxi remained unharmed.
"The Palace Master's decree!?"
"Girl, this is the central forbidden area of the Dao Palace. What are you doing up here?!"
A voice suddenly rang out from the void of this space.
“Spirit of the array, I have come here to investigate the arrangement of the compass within the Outer Heavens.”
“Now that I have the Palace Master’s Decree in my hands, I should have this authority, right?” Feng Ruoxi said coldly.
"Of course, which disciple would you like to investigate?" the voice asked.
"Tianxuan Palace, Gu Jiancheng!"
Feng Ruoxi spoke in a deep voice, her eyes narrowing slightly, her expression extremely cold and stern!
