Chapter 1245 The Missing Realm of Haoyu! The Gaze from the Immortal Emperor!
But soon, Gu Xiu shook his head and suppressed these thoughts. Thinking about those things now was too far off. What he needed now was to take advantage of this good opportunity to enter the Dao and restore his cultivation as much as possible.
Fortunately, the path to enlightenment is indeed powerful.
Although even Gu Xiu himself didn't know why he could maintain his Daoist state for so long, since he was in this state, he naturally couldn't stop, so he began to actively absorb spiritual energy and source power.
Previously, he had focused most of his energy on calculations, and his cultivation speed was already faster than when he was cultivating at full strength.
Now he has truly begun to cultivate with all his might, and his speed has increased by dozens or even hundreds of times!
at this point.
Wuwei Gong and Suixing, who were standing next to Gu Xiu, could see very clearly that the top-grade spirit stones placed beside Gu Xiu were transforming into the purest spiritual energy at a speed visible to the naked eye, penetrating into Gu Xiu's limbs and bones.
Meanwhile, the source energy that had always existed in the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin also converged into Gu Xiu's body at an extremely fast speed.
After entering Gu Xiu's body, these forces circulated rapidly and eventually combined with Gu Xiu's original divine soul power to form a brand new profound power.
Because of the extremely high speed of operation, Gu Xiu's body began to burst with extraordinary light, which was the three-colored divine light that Wuwei Gong saw, which had been suppressed by Xiaoyao Pei's array.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiu's cultivation level also broke through in the blink of an eye.
Qi Refining Level 2, Level 3, Level 4...
Finally, after reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, he directly entered the Foundation Establishment Realm without any delay.
Upon entering the Foundation Establishment realm, Gu Xiu immediately checked the foundational platforms he had painstakingly built. To his delight, these platforms were still effective, even more so than simply activating spiritual energy.
"It seems my worries were unnecessary."
"As a power that is superior to spiritual power, profound power actually has the same function as spiritual power. Naturally, those foundations built on spiritual power can be used without any problems with profound power."
"Not only are there no problems, but it's even stronger than before."
"and……"
"Mystic power is stronger than spiritual power. If an ordinary Dao platform were to bear it, it might bring the Dao platform to a critical state, or even cause its own foundation to collapse. But my foundation is solid, and it can be said that it has already reached the perfect state of limit."
"Therefore, there will be absolutely no damage to the foundation!"
This discovery calmed Gu Xiu's previously uneasy heart once again. Now that it was confirmed that the loss of his cultivation wouldn't mean starting all over again, the next step was simple.
Practice!
Keep getting stronger!
In this way, a large amount of spiritual energy and source energy frantically converged into Gu Xiu's body, gradually filling his vast and boundless Qi Sea and Dantian, and injecting new profound energy into those Dao Platforms that had been depleted of spiritual energy.
Foundation building!
Golden Elixir!
Nascent Soul!
One can advance to a higher realm in almost a short time.
However, after Gu Xiu entered the Nascent Soul realm, his progress began to slow down. Of course, this "slow" was only relative to the instantaneous breakthroughs of the previous three realms; in reality, his speed was still incredibly fast.
The main reason is...
After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, one needs to interact with the newly established divine officials: the five divine officials of the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and eyebrows. This process takes some time.
However, since the Five Divine Officials were originally Gu Xiu's possessions, even though their original power changed from spiritual power to profound power, it had no effect whatsoever. Or rather, not only was it unaffected, the Five Divine Officials even showed excitement towards this new power.
Apart from Guan Chen, who took over the Baoshou Divine Palace, the five divine officials were all formed from the convergence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Although they had no independent consciousness, they instinctively showed joy.
Clearly, he was very satisfied with this new profound energy.
It is worth mentioning that...
When Xuanli came into contact with Baoshou Palace, Gu Xiu was particularly careful, wanting to see if Guan Chen would reappear. Unfortunately, the mysterious being who had previously stayed at his Baoshou Palace was still nowhere to be found, as if he had vanished.
This made Gu Xiu's gaze involuntarily turn to the Soul Lake in his sea of consciousness, which was still being burned by the karmic fire of Buddhism.
Guan Chen disappeared along with Chu Xun, who had once thought he was Gu Xiu.
They arrived quietly and then mysteriously disappeared.
All of this might be related to the mysterious power suppressed beneath the Soul Lake by the Buddhist karmic fire. Previously, Gu Xiu's strength was insufficient to reach it, but now, having access to the Great Dao Immortal Book, Gu Xiu is eager to see it.
What exactly is being suppressed beneath that Soul Lake?
Keep pushing the boundaries!
Without any hesitation, Gu Xiu's cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop.
At this level, more profound energy is needed, but because one is in the state of entering the Dao, and has sufficient spiritual stones and willpower, it is only to make up for the spiritual energy that was previously lacking, so it will not be much slower.
It will just take a few more hours at most.
However, Gu Xiu did not simply fill the missing power, but began to guide the profound power into his own spiritual sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness is entirely created by the power of the soul.
Although spiritual power will transform and become stronger again at the Nascent Soul stage, and the required reserves will also be greater, the true core of the divine soul and sea of consciousness cannot be changed by spiritual energy, because these are two completely different forces.
But now.
The new profound energy inherently contained the power of the soul, allowing Gu Xiu's profound energy to directly enter his own sea of consciousness. He began to try to transform all his soul power into the new profound energy.
It's just a pity.
This transformation is possible, but it is very slow, and the transformed profound energy cannot completely replace the power of the soul.
"According to my conjecture, if a complete replacement is possible, the power of the soul should also be completely replaced by profound energy, since profound energy can also be directly converted into the power of the soul."
But why is that?
"Is it because my Sea of Consciousness Immortal Palace is entirely forged from pure divine soul power? What if I replaced all the mansions within the Sea of Consciousness Immortal Palace with those constructed from profound energy?"
Gu Xiu tried again and found that it actually worked.
but……
The process is very slow.
Even if he is in the Daoist state and his cultivation is a thousand times or ten thousand times faster than usual, if he were to completely transform it now, it would probably take at least several years or even decades.
You must understand, this is the state of entering the Dao!
If it's this slow in the initial stage of enlightenment, then in the normal state, wouldn't it mean that it would take at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to complete the transformation?
"wrong."
"Even if the cultivation speed slows down as you go on, it shouldn't take this long."
"unless……"
"It's not time yet!"
"The sea of consciousness needs further improvement in order to shorten the time!"
"Oh, right."
"It's the Void Refinement Realm!"
In an instant, Gu Xiu understood the key point.
Although the Refining Void Realm primarily cultivates domains, it is the power of the divine soul and sea of consciousness that drives these domains. Combined with one's own cultivation, this can be considered a preliminary integration and application of two powers.
Only by reaching the Refinement of Emptiness realm, or even cultivating the Refinement of Emptiness to the Great Perfection realm, can one then completely fuse the two powers!
but……
"After the Void Refinement stage comes the Supreme Realm. Although I have never reached this realm, I have never heard of the divine soul and sea of consciousness merging with one's own cultivation. In fact, the Supreme Realm is still the ultimate application of two powers."
"Does that mean..."
"The missing realm in the vast spiritual energy path is precisely the realm where divine soul power and spiritual energy merge?"
Just as this thought flashed through my mind, a sudden clap of thunder appeared.
An indescribable, terrifying force.
Fortunately, layers of chains extended from the heavens and earth, attempting to bind Gu Xiu!
Feeling something, Gu Xiu suddenly looked up.
But above, in the sky...
A gaze fell upon him, filled with utter contempt, as if looking at an ant that might venture out of its captivity. And within that gaze, Gu Xiu sensed a familiar power.
Imperial Television!
That is……
A gaze from the Celestial Emperor!
