Chapter 1232 Entering the Dao Again! A Crazy Attempt at the Great Dao Immortal Book!
Gu Xiu had no idea that the Peach-Giving Immortal he had been thinking about just moments before was now planning to change the venue for his official debut to the Yuan Nie Hai. At this moment, he returned to the craftsman's workshop and began to carefully observe the forging of the Ghost Craft Ball.
There's not much to say about the carving of the "ghostly craftsmanship ball".
The 365-layered Ghost Craft Ball would be almost impossible for an ordinary person, but for a master craftsman like Shattered Star, this little thing that doesn't even require a furnace or a forging hammer is actually not that difficult.
Gu Xiu's real focus was on Zhao Jijiu, who was constantly adding divine power to the side.
Each time Sui Xing completes a layer of Ghost Craft Sphere forging, Zhao Jijiu will add a divine power to it and point out the divine runes that need to be drawn, which Sui Xing will then refine.
This gave Gu Xiu the opportunity to observe the divine power up close.
Just like the divine power he had sensed from Li Changgong, the divine power used by Zhao Jijiu was also a combination of multiple forces.
The power of will, the power of immortality, and the power of the divine soul are combined into one, with the power of will being the dominant one, and the other two being secondary.
There are still differences.
The most important difference lies in the source of the willpower. Furthermore, Gu Xiu discovered that these divine powers seemed to contain a special emotion, making them somewhat different.
Previously, Li Changgong's military divine way carried a violent and angry power, as if it wanted to tear everything apart.
However, the power of the Mohist divine way carries something different. Gu Xiu carefully sensed it for a while and discovered that it was an emotion of exploration and thirst for knowledge.
"Could it be that divine power is also related to the seven emotions and six desires?"
"There might be some truth to that. The power of the Sea of Sin can arbitrarily stir up people's emotions, and to survive in such a place, one needs a corresponding power to suppress them. So, the power of the divine path, which possesses such power, was created to counteract this power that guides emotions?"
"Then why does the Sea of Sin affect people's emotions? And if the Sea of Sin affects people's emotions, why haven't my emotions been affected? Although it's only been a few days, I haven't felt anything amiss."
Gu Xiu pondered, vaguely sensing that he was about to uncover the truth. Suppressing his doubts about the Three Enclosures and the Sea of Sin, Gu Xiu continued to observe the divine power, which gave rise to even more questions.
"Why can't spiritual energy cope with this divine power?"
"Is it because the two are fundamentally different? For example, divine soul power and spiritual energy are two unrelated things, so they do not affect each other, thus preventing spiritual energy and divine power from canceling each other out?"
"As for the arrow I shot at Li Changgong, I used my divine soul power, so it affected the arrow to some extent. However, because divine power is not pure divine soul power, the effect was relatively weak."
A series of questions kept popping into my mind.
He didn't intend to follow the path of divinity; that involved the power of will, and unless absolutely necessary, Gu Xiu didn't plan to get too involved with it. This wasn't just because the demon-possessed Buddha in the Western Desert had given him considerable caution, but also because Gu Xiu didn't want to be a deity who relied on the will of others, needing to receive incense and offerings from them.
He cultivates the Tao, which follows the natural way, and his heart is as free as the wind. If he accepts the wishes of others, it would be going against his Tao.
Therefore, while he was observing, he was also thinking more about the Great Dao Immortal Book he was cultivating.
His cultivation of the Great Dao Immortal Book has made no progress so far. The two opposing forces will continue to contend with each other, although he has avoided the risk of his cultivation being negated and suffering from demonic possession thanks to the Myriad Sources Body Tempering method.
But for now.
He still hadn't found a true way to cultivate, so much so that even though he could have directly reached the Void Refinement Realm at any time, he was forced to stop.
He was unwilling to break through to the Void Refinement Realm solely through the path of spiritual energy.
Reborn.
If you're going to go, you should go all the way!
"The power of the divine path can be described as having immortal power as its bones, divine soul as its sinews, and willpower as its flesh. In addition, it seems to contain the essence of the seven emotions and six desires, which is actually equivalent to four different powers."
“Immortal power and spiritual energy cannot be fused, but these four powers are completely different things, so normally they should not be able to be fused either. But since they have been fused, there must be something I overlooked.”
"Could it be some kind of force that has fused these unrelated things together, acting like glue?"
"If such power exists, what kind of power is it?"
"Immortal power? Divine soul power? The power of will... or perhaps the power of the seven emotions and six desires that I have sensed?"
At this moment, Gu Xiu was simply watching the shattered stars forge the Ghost Craft Sphere, yet his thoughts became clearer than ever before.
So much so that he was originally sitting cross-legged on the outside watching, but as he watched, his own dantian and qi sea involuntarily began to operate, and one power after another began to try to merge on its own.
"Ok?"
The unusual behavior on Gu Xiu's side immediately caught Sui Xing's attention. After observing for a while, she was pleasantly surprised:
"Enter the Tao!"
"Young Gu has actually entered the Dao!"
As soon as he said this, everyone else looked at Gu Xiu. These powerful figures from the Mo family's divine path didn't follow the path of spiritual energy, so they didn't know what entering the Dao meant, but they were still surprised by Gu Xiu's current situation.
"I felt as if some unseen force was constantly flowing into his body!"
"Is that the legendary spiritual power?"
"Not only that, but he seems to have other powers on him, which are somewhat similar to my divine power, but I can't quite put my finger on where they are similar."
"What to do now?"
"Call for people to guard the temple. This opportunity for young Gu to enter the Dao is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. We must not let anyone disturb him!" Sui Xing immediately said.
Fortunately, although Suixing was an outsider, it had already earned the respect of the Mo family members in such a short time. Upon hearing Suixing's words, Zhao Jijiu immediately mobilized people to protect Gu Xiu.
To ensure everything went smoothly, they even temporarily closed the temple and refused all worshippers.
Even the Wuwei City Lord, who had just left, rushed over. Hearing that Gu Xiu's chance to enter the Dao was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he immediately mobilized all the guards of his city lord's mansion to surround the entire temple area.
"Master Shattered Star, what should we do next?" After settling everything, Zhao Jijiu asked.
Sui Xing shook his head: "Entering the Dao is a matter of personal destiny. Outsiders can at most help him prevent him from being interrupted. As for the rest, let Gu boy handle it himself."
“But I heard that the spiritual energy path requires a lot of spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy in our Ziwei Enclosure seems to be very thin, almost non-existent. Will this affect him?” someone asked from the side.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot about that!"
Sui Xing slapped his forehead and hurriedly activated the Mountain and River Remnant Realm. Immediately afterwards, a small mountain of spirit stones made of top-grade spirit stones appeared beside Gu Xiu, ensuring that Gu Xiu would not be affected by the lack of spiritual power.
The appearance of this Spirit Stone Mountain stunned everyone else nearby.
"This is... a spirit stone? Although I don't understand what this power is, I feel a sense of ease throughout my body in front of this mountain of spirit stones!"
"This stuff can probably cure all diseases, it's more effective than any medicine, and I reckon it can even prolong life. In just this short while, I felt like my lifespan had increased by at least a month."
"This is amazing! The spiritual energy path is truly unique!"
"..."
The powerful figures of the divine path exclaimed in amazement. When Sui Xing saw a large amount of spiritual energy flowing into Gu Xiu's body, he breathed a sigh of relief and happily continued to work on the Ghost Crafting Ball while praising his little brother Gu Xiu.
They praised him for his extraordinary talent, how he abandoned his sect, how he survived adversity, and his heroic spirit, which changed how others looked at Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu could actually hear the conversation, and even felt a little ashamed.
But this state of enlightenment is truly rare and hard to come by. Although I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to dig my toes into the ground, I could only pretend I couldn't hear it.
He could feel that his mind was clearer than ever before, and in this state he had to seize the time to think about the difficulties on his path of cultivation.
This is actually the hardship of walking a path alone.
If he had a powerful sect or experienced mentors to guide him, many of his questions would have been answered, or at least he would have avoided many detours. But unfortunately, Gu Xiu himself was the one who had taken the first step on this path, and he could only rely on himself to move forward step by step.
"The souls are not compatible; they cannot be integrated."
"What is the power of the seven emotions and six desires? Is it the power of the seven soul lamps ignited by the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Should we try using the power of will?"
"..."
He kept trying to add other powers to spiritual energy and immortal power, but each attempt ended in failure. Fortunately, his state of enlightenment was special enough that even if he failed, it would not cause damage to his body as it usually would, or even if damage occurred, it would be repaired quickly.
Not to mention, this state of enlightenment gave him a more detailed understanding of his own power, and the further he progressed, the more he began to avoid the damage to himself caused by each failed attempt.
This means he has the opportunity to keep trying and making mistakes.
Is it a problem with the strength allocation?
"Spiritual energy and immortal power, I previously tried a one-to-one ratio. What about two-to-one or three-to-one?"
"Should we include other forces, and should their share be even larger?"
He used what was arguably the most rudimentary method: constant trial and error. But sometimes, this most rudimentary method is the most effective.
It just takes a lot of time.
At least, five days have passed in the blink of an eye since Gu Xiu entered the Dao.
