Chapter 284 Gu Jiancheng emerges from seclusion, but the baby is in trouble?
And so, time passed leisurely in the outside world.
Gu Jiancheng spent a full six hundred months within the magic array.
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng had already absorbed a massive amount of energy into his body, and his cultivation level was soaring.
Its physical body has undergone countless cracks and healings, and now it has become incredibly powerful.
Just as his meritorious contributions were about to be exhausted, Gu Jiancheng finally opened his eyes from within the magic array.
At this moment, however, Gu Jiancheng's eyes were filled with endless depth.
Like stars gathering, the universe rises and falls.
"Hehe, now that all rivers flow into the sea, this cultivation level still needs to be suppressed a bit."
Gu Jiancheng, sitting cross-legged on the sacred pool, raised his hands and a smile appeared on his lips.
In fact, during the six hundred months and nearly fifty years that had passed in the Sacred Refining Pool, Gu Jiancheng had already increased his cultivation to the point where he could break through to the Sacred Realm at any time.
But the real reason is that if he were to undergo tribulation within the Dao Palace, it would inevitably attract earth-shattering phenomena.
This is a Saint Tribulation, possibly even more terrifying than the Saint King Tribulation of others. Therefore, after careful consideration, Gu Jiancheng decided to first incorporate the energy of the Saint Pool into his dantian and wait for a breakthrough to unleash its full potential.
Even though Gu Jiancheng's Qi Sea at the half-step Saint Realm was already terrifyingly large, it was still completely filled within a few decades.
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng felt that every hair on his body, and even every cell, was filled with energy.
With a wave of the hand, it can unleash boundless power and shatter the void.
Gu Jiancheng was even confident that, even with his cultivation level which was not yet at the Saint Realm, he was capable of confronting a Saint King Realm expert.
After all, in addition to the almost inexhaustible surging energy within his body, Gu Jiancheng had spent decades refining the power of the Thunder and Fire Laws to the peak of the primary Laws!
Even a Saint King at the first level wouldn't be able to possess the peak of the initial stage of the power of laws!
Moreover, Gu Jiancheng spent decades elevating all the supernatural abilities possessed by the main body to their peak.
Nine Heavenly Seals, Boundless Sword Technique, and Imperial Sword Manual.
Even the "Ding" secret he obtained from the Heavenly Realm not long ago, Gu Jiancheng has already comprehended to perfection.
With his current strength, he could even seal away a Saint King!
Meanwhile, the clone was also busy in the Langhuan Space.
In addition to continuously improving his cultivation, the clone also used the rare iron from the Sea-Stabilizing Realm to forge a Saint King artifact.
At the same time, he also cultivated the Buddha Pagoda Technique to a state of consummate skill.
Even a mere clone possesses enough combat power to overwhelm a half-step Saint King.
Not to mention, the silver ant colony has also grown rapidly over the past few decades, with its population now exceeding 500,000.
With the help of the remnants of the immortal insects, the ant king and queen transformed into the legendary horned ant!
The bloodline level of the Skyhorn Ants is already comparable to that of a Saint King, although the current cultivation level of the Ant King and Queen is only at the late Saint Realm.
But now they have a terrifying ant colony consisting of 500,000 golden ant ants.
It can be said that even a Saint King Realm expert would have no choice but to flee in terror when faced with a swarm of Heavenly Horned Ants.
Even Gu Jiancheng himself did not expect that the ant colony would become so powerful, even becoming one of his trump cards.
"Therefore, entering the Outer Heavens is the best place to transcend the tribulation."
Gu Jiancheng chuckled, then stood up, dispelled the magic array, and left the Sacred Refining Pool.
To Gu Jiancheng's surprise, the Sacred Refining Pool, which should have been bustling with activity, was now almost deserted!
Moreover, the energy aura within the entire Sacred Refining Pool didn't seem as strong as before.
"My wife?!"
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng also spotted Yun Shuiyao standing in front of the Sacred Refining Pool.
Yun Shuiyao knew that Gu Jiancheng would emerge from seclusion today, so she covered her face with a veil and waited here early in the morning.
"Husband!"
Yun Shuiyao, with a smile on her face, quickly came forward to greet her.
The flow rate of the Langhuan Space increased two hundred times. Although this greatly helped everyone's cultivation advancement, it also made the time she and Gu Jiancheng were separated much longer.
Therefore, she had not seen Gu Jiancheng for decades.
Gu Jiancheng embraced Yun Shuiyao tightly, and after a long while of tenderness, he realized that Yun Shuiyao's belly had grown much larger than before.
How is our baby?
Gu Jiancheng leaned down and pressed his hand against Yun Shuiyao's stomach, asking her a question.
"Sigh, it's been so long, and he still doesn't seem to have any intention of having a baby. Do you think I might be carrying a monster?!"
But Yun Shuiyao frowned.
"Nonsense. My wife is exceptionally talented, and I am no less so. Our child is destined for greatness. The fact that he was born a little later is simply to avoid stealing the fortune of all the outstanding talents in the world."
Gu Jiancheng smiled and then opened the system, only to find that his baby's development progress had reached 98%, and only two Saint Pills were needed to reach the maximum value.
"Have you finished refining the resources I gave you before?"
Gu Jiancheng looked at Yunshuiyao again more carefully.
It was discovered that Yun Shuiyao's cultivation had not only reached the astonishing late stage of the Saint Realm, but also that three layers of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix seal within her body had been broken.
Yunshuiyao's life soul talent and physique are now comparable to the peak of the Saint King, which is terrifyingly powerful.
"not yet!"
But Yun Shuiyao shook her head and said, "The Ancient God Pearl has been completely digested, but for some reason, this Holy Pill cannot be refined and absorbed no matter what."
"So I've been wondering if there's something wrong with me?"
"Don't breathe or think too much," Gu Jiancheng quickly reassured him.
But this situation is indeed strange.
The baby is clearly ready to grow, so why is it unable to absorb energy?
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng opened the system.
"System, shouldn't you come out and give me an explanation?"
He and Yunshuiyao have sacrificed so much for this baby, especially Yunshuiyao, who has been in seclusion for many years.
"Ding! System: Host, you finally remembered to ask me."
"System: Host, do not worry. There is nothing wrong with the new life. It's just that your offspring has used up all the unpredictable talents of the Heavenly Dao. The quality of the Saint Pill is no longer enough. It needs purer energy to increase the growth rate again."
"What!? It needs to be even purer? An Ancient God Pearl?" Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this.
"That's right, treasures like the Ancient God Pearl will do. Moreover, when the host's offspring's accumulation reaches 100%, the host's wife's physique and cultivation level must be strong enough for them to be born."
"Otherwise, there will be a risk of simultaneous death." The system's notification continued to sound.
"They also require cultivation level?!"
Gu Jiancheng stared wide-eyed, never expecting that it would be so difficult for his baby to be born.
"System: The stronger the talent of the host's offspring, the more difficult it will be to give birth. Please be patient."
“It’s not your child, of course you’re not in a hurry,” Gu Jiancheng sneered.
But since the system had already provided an explanation, there was nothing he could do.
Now the only option is to search for enough ancient god pearls every day from beyond the heavens.
As for helping Yunshuiyao advance to the Saint King realm, that's what worries Gu Jian the most.
Yun Shuiyao's talent is already terrifying, after all, she is the Empress of the Upper Realm. Now that her life soul is being unsealed, it will be extremely terrifying if she attracts the Holy King's Heavenly Tribulation.
Moreover, she was pregnant at the time, which was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
Gu Jiancheng really had no better solution to this, so he could only take it one step at a time.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you. No matter what, I'll make sure you're all safe and sound." With that, Gu Jiancheng could only pull Yun Shuiyao into his arms again.
“I know, I’m not afraid.” Yunshuiyao in his arms nodded.
Perhaps, only in front of Gu Jiancheng would she act like a little girl who needed to be protected.
"By the way, where are the others?"
"What were the results of the competition?"
After a long, tender moment, Gu Jiancheng finally asked.
He has been in seclusion for so long that three months have passed in the outside world.
"Hehe, don't worry, with your help, the competition will naturally go very smoothly."
Yunshuiyao smiled.
Gu Jiancheng also learned from Yun Shuiyao that in just one month, with the help of the Langhuan Space and the Ancient Saint Peach, all the disciples of the Taiji Sect successfully passed the tribulation and became saints.
Now they have all successfully won the competition and entered the Tianxuan Palace for cultivation.
Jiang Hongchao won first place in the competition, while Yuan Da came in second.
But to Gu Jiancheng's surprise, just seven days ago, a sudden change occurred in Tianwaitian.
The Heavenly Nether War Palace launched a full-scale war against the Supreme Saint Dao Palace, which mobilized almost its entire force to fight in the Outer Heavens.
Even the eight palace masters set off.
"Did the war start seven days ago?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng's expression changed drastically.
Even with all his cultivation, he still couldn't catch up!
"That's right, Red Robe and Ape Da naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity, and they rushed in on the first day."
“I originally wanted to go too, but firstly, I was worried about you, and secondly, they wouldn’t let me in.”
"Sigh, it's been a long time since I've made a move. They all think I'm weak," Yun Shuiyao sighed.
“The Outer Heavens are indeed very dangerous.” Gu Jiancheng said, his gaze sharp.
Even disciples of the Tianxuan Palace risked death upon entering, let alone this time facing not only the alien spirits and tribulation beasts from the Outer Heavens, but also the Netherworld Clan cultivators from the Tianyou Battle Palace.
That's extremely dangerous.
"You don't need to worry too much. Brother Yang Jian and Li Nezha went with them, and Senior Shangguan Lin is also protecting them. They'll be fine in the short term," Yun Shuiyao reassured her.
"No, I still can't rest easy. Let's go to Tianwaitian right now!"
But Gu Jiancheng shook his head.
He has offended quite a few people now, and it is really dangerous for Taiji Sect cultivators to enter the Outer Heaven.
If the clones could enter, that would be fine, but the key issue is that the clones are still within the Langhuan Space and cannot enter the Outer Heaven in advance.
Even when I'm not there, he still can't rest easy!
Not long after, Gu Jiancheng, holding Yun Shuiyao's hand, used the teleportation array to leave the Supreme Holy Palace and head to the Outer Heaven.
At this very moment, deep within the Forbidden Area of the Holy Path Palace.
A voice suddenly rang out from the central space of the magic array.
"This junior has finally left. In just three months, he consumed nearly half of the Sacred Pool's resources, more than Ji Lingchen consumed in two years!"
"Hahaha, this is a good thing. This boy is indeed unfathomable. He is indeed the one the Palace Master predicted to be destined for this calamity." At this moment, another voice rang out in the space.
Immediately, a sword spirit appeared in the center of the magic circle and said in a voice, "Also, did you feel it? That girl is not ordinary either."
"Of course, when the Palace Master left back then, he said that there were two people who were destined to face the calamity, one of whom had an ambiguous relationship with Ruoxi, which even the Palace Master could not predict."
"Now, I've pretty much guessed it."
The first voice responded.
"Hahaha, you old codger, you're still quite shrewd!"
The sword spirit laughed wildly and said, "In that case, we two old fogies will just wait here for the show!"
"The future of Dao Palace rests entirely on their shoulders!"
