Chapter Fifteen: Taming the Spiritual Beast

  Gu Yun walked out of the mountain cave, feeling the warm sunshine on his body, and thinking about what had happened that day, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

  Suddenly, a mighty roar like thunder burst forth from his mouth and spread in all directions, startling the beasts around him so that they trembled with fear and cowered on the ground.

  This is the dragon might produced after cultivating "Dragon Transformation Manual", but due to the short cultivation time, it can only produce this effect for now.

  If I were to cultivate into a dragon and come back here with a roar, then it's not just these ordinary beasts that would be affected, even the demonic beasts would be scared stiff. The majesty of the divine dragon is no trivial matter.

  The whistling sound stopped, and behind Gyun's back, a soft "brush" sound was heard. A pair of wings, over one meter wide and three meters long, appeared on his back. This pair of wings, with one side red and the other blue, were different from those in the Dragon God Ring.

  Above now seems to be covered with scales, if you look closely, you will find that these scales are just like those on the dragon's body, and they have not really grown up yet.

  The ancient cloud also exclaimed in surprise, never thought that due to the cultivation of "Huálóng jué", this pair of yin-yang wings would also grow scales all over, but this is also a good thing, not to mention, the scaled wings are better looking than those fleshy wings.

  Withdraw his gaze that lingered on the wings, now he just wants to hurry back home and tell his parents about today's events, he thinks they will be very happy.

  With a flick of his double wings behind him, Gu Yun's body shot up into the sky and in the blink of an eye he was above the forest.

  This was his first real flight in the sky, and the feeling of flying in the grand hall of the Dragon God Ring was worlds apart from flying under the real sky.

  Looking at the forest flying rapidly under his body, Gu Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of vastness and freedom, as if he was soaring through the skies. His wings flapped again, and his body shot through the air like a streak of light.

  The cave he came out of was in the middle of this forest, and if he walked as before, it would take at least about an hour to reach, but now it only took a few breaths, and Gu Yun had already appeared at his doorstep.

  Withdraw the wings behind, looking at the clothes with a big hole in the back, shaking head, having wings is convenient, but clothes are consumed more.

  Someone eagerly opened the door and said "Dad, Mom, I'm back. I have some good news to tell you, you'll definitely be very happy when you hear it."

  This time, the mother with a smile all over her face and the father with a serious expression did not come out of the room. Gu Yun was somewhat puzzled, wondering if they were worried about him and had gone out to look for him.

  He walked quickly to his parents' door, knocked on it, but there was no response. He pushed the door open and went in, seeing a piece of paper on the table. He picked it up and saw that it read: Xiaoyun, your father and I have something to attend to and will be away for several years.

  During this period of time, you must take good care of yourself and work hard to cultivate the "Nine Turns Golden Body Technique". Only when your body is strong can you suppress the two energies within you.

  After we come back, we will take you to see a divine doctor who can cure your illness. Also, in your house, there is something that we left for you which will be very useful to you.

  Alright, let's go, remember to cultivate well.

  After finishing, Gu Yun fell silent for a while, then quickly walked towards his own house, came to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and pushed open a wooden board at the head of the bed, revealing a one-foot square hole underneath. This was where he used to put the medical classics and the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique.

  Now, this place has no medical classics left, only a bracelet and a jade slip inside.

  An ancient saying, from inside took out these two things, first put the divine consciousness into the jade slip, immediately, his father's image appeared inside, at the same time his father also spoke: "Little son, I and your mother have something to go out for a few years before coming back, you must not forget to cultivate, if I come back and see that you are still in this state of cultivation, I will make you look good.

  Also, the bangle on your hand is called "Qian Kun Bangle", which is used to store things. You can use it by dripping your own blood on it. The usage is very simple, just use your divine thought to explore inside and take out what you want, putting it back in is the same.

  If you're not strong enough, don't use this thing in front of others easily, you know the consequences.

  "There's still something else in this bangle, you can take it out later and deal with it yourself. However, the medical manual you've been studying is one that I borrowed from the Medical God Sect back then. If you want to go outside and take a look around, first return this to them, anyway you won't be needing it now." After saying this, the scene disappeared.

  Ancient Clouds quietly withdrew his divine thoughts from the Jade Slate, feeling somewhat downhearted.

  However, he still dripped a drop of blood onto the fiery red bracelet and took out what was inside: a battle knife, a suit of armor, a jade slip with the "Nine Turns Golden Body Technique" and two books, the "Medical Classics".

  And looking at this battle knife and armor with a cyan glow wrapped around it, it's obviously not some ordinary goods.

  Up till now, Gu Yun still didn't know what to say.

  Originally, I wanted to give them a surprise, but now it's the other way around, they gave themselves a big "surprise". Now, Gu Yun also knows that his parents shouldn't be just ordinary Qi-refining late-stage cultivators, at least not anymore, because these things are clearly not something that Qi-refining late-stage cultivators can possess.

  Shaking off the depression, Gu Yun's gaze became even more determined. In one day, his master and parents had all left his side, and he didn't know when they would meet again. After all, it was still because of his own insufficient strength.

  And they all hope to work hard to cultivate themselves, so they can't let them down either.

  His gaze swept over the things on the table, and he picked up "Nine Turns Golden Body" and "Medical Classics". Then, that set of armor was also put away by him, because it would interfere with his wings coming out.

  Then Gu Yun picked up the war knife, which was over four feet long, three fingers wide and about one finger thick. The entire body was pitch black, extremely heavy in hand, even Gu Yun's arm strength felt a slight sinking of his arm, but this weight was not very heavy for him. After dancing a few times, Gu Yun felt very satisfied.

  He picked up the jade slip next to him, inserted his divine consciousness into it, and a martial art named "Furious Flame Slash" appeared in his mind. This was a combat martial art that only had two moves.

  The first move, a single strike that can shake the heavens. With one move, a slash of light shoots towards the opponent, and as the realm increases, the slash becomes larger and more powerful.

  The second move, Flame Heaven, attacks by slashing flames that fill the sky towards the opponent.

  At this point, Gu Feng's figure reappeared and said: "Young man, the war knife in your hand is one I used back then. I call it 'Mo Yan', an extremely fine spiritual instrument. Same words as before, if you can't keep it safe, don't let others see it. This thing isn't something just anyone has, there are many people who want to get their hands on it.

  As for that technique, those two moves are just the most basic ones. For now, you can only cultivate these two moves. When I come back later, I'll teach you a few more moves.

  Of course, if you can understand it by yourself, that would be even better, after all, only what suits oneself is the best.

  "Alright, now you can go and do whatever you want. If you have nothing to do, it's better to go out into the world and make a name for yourself, it will be good for you."

  The scene in the jade tablet also disappeared at this point.

  But as the ancients said, it's about clenching one's fists, strength is what matters, and right now that's exactly what I need, for strength is everything; without it, you can't even make others acknowledge your own things.

  I must give them a surprise.

  In a flash, Gu Yun emerged from the house with his wings spread open, and in a streak of light, he arrived at the edge of the pond where he usually practiced.

  He had already made up his mind, first to cultivate the few sets of combat skills in his hands well, and then go to subdue that Ling Xiong. By then, he would be able to venture out into the world.

  He had long wanted to go out and take a look at the outside world, but he didn't even have the ability to protect himself at that time, so he could only think about it in his heart.

  But now it's different, he believes that with what he has in his hands now, self-protection will definitely be no problem.

  Ten days later, Gyun stood quietly on the empty ground beside this small pond.

  Suddenly, Gu Yun's figure disappeared and then appeared five meters to his left. He disappeared again and reappeared at the edge of the pond. This sudden flashing movement happened nine times before Gu Yun returned to his original position.

  The corners of his mouth revealed a happy smile, after ten days of hard work, he had now cultivated the Divine Dragon Flash to the realm of nine flashes, although each time he could only move about five meters, but he also knew that this was already his current limit, unless he waited for his cultivation to rise another level before he might be able to break through again.

  Of course, he didn't just practice this set of skills for the past ten days. The first move of "Fierce Flame Fury Slash" given by his father had already been successfully cultivated, and the second move was almost done.

  Also, the "Nine Turns Golden Body Technique" has already broken through to the fourth turn. He was able to break through during his acceptance of the Dragon God inheritance. So, on the third day after he came out of the Dragon God Seal, he advanced to the fourth turn.

  "Golden Body Transformation" he has also successfully cultivated, but due to the current realm being too low, his "Golden Body Transformation" can only be maintained for ten breaths of time. However, the power of the now 15-meter-tall golden body is indeed astonishing.

  Also, at his master's place, the thief is living a good life now, eating spiritual fruits every day and then guiding Gu Yun's cultivation.

  According to the thief's crazy words, the most basic things for a cultivator are Gongfa, alchemy, equipment refinement, and array techniques.

  Nowadays, Gu Yun only has Gong Fa and nothing else. So in the past few days, Gu Yun has slowly started learning these things.

  In addition, in one of the houses around the small courtyard where his master now lives, Gu Yun opened a room that was a practice room. The time inside was actually ten times that of the outside. Ten days inside equaled one day outside. This discovery made Gu Yun ecstatic.

  With such a good place, he believes it won't take long for him to become stronger.

  Of course, this discovery also filled Gu Yun with hope for the remaining rooms around him.

  No matter what method Gu Yun used, the doors of those rooms didn't budge. Gu Yun knew that this was due to his current insufficient cultivation and he had no choice but to give up on opening those doors for now.

  He ran to the training room and cultivated, after more than ten days of hard work, Gu Yun's "Hunyuan Huo Shen Jue" also had a small success, now he can emit the three samadhi true fire that only needs to be emitted by the Xian period cultivator.

  The term "Hua Shen" is a phrase used by bandits and madmen, and has never been heard of in ancient times.

  Because, according to the madman's words, the realm of a true cultivator is: drawing in the breath into the body, refining the breath to transform the spirit, refining the spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to merge with the Tao.

  This is consistent with the ancient saying of the Xian's realm: Refining the Body, Building the Foundation, Refining Qi, Golden Elixir, Yuan Ying, Exiting the Cavity, Merging the Body, Crossing the Calamity, and Mahayana.

  It's completely different, which also fills these two apprentices with doubt.

  Only Gu Yun knew the current boundary division, and nothing about the outside world. The two could only put down their doubts in their hearts and wait until Gu Yun left to find the answers.

  But now, the boundary of Gu Yun is unclear, even a madman can't tell, he has already refined his primordial spirit, logically speaking, it should be the Nascent Soul stage, but there are no Golden Elixir and Primordial Infant in his body.

  There is only one dragon infant, barely considered a transformation god phase, which is now what Gu Yun knows as the escape phase.

  But if you add his variable body and a set of super skills, it's not something that an ordinary master can handle.

  After coming out of the Dragon Ring, Gu Yun did not go to the edge of the water pool to practice his skills again, but instead summoned his double wings and flew towards the depths of the forest. Now is also the time to subdue the Ling Xiong.

  In a flash, Gu Yun arrived at the mountain pass where he had encountered the Ling Xiong. As soon as he landed on the ground, the Ling Xiong, hearing the commotion, immediately charged out.

  Compared to last time, this big fellow has obviously grown a circle bigger, and the hair on his body is also more shiny. After standing up, he can almost reach a height of four meters.

  But now Gu Yun is full of confidence.

  He charged towards the giant bear that was standing up on its hind legs, the giant bear saw that it was this guy who had fought with him last time and made him transform when he was weak, and then slept for over a dozen days before waking up yesterday.

  It's also a belly full of fire. Although waking up after discovering that he had been promoted again, it didn't have the intention of thanking Gu Yun. This time, he must tear this guy apart.
