Chapter 24 Awakening and Breakthrough
Time passes like water, a year is not a long time, but it is enough for a teenager to fade into immaturity, enough for a moth to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and for Gu Feng, a year is only enough for him to fall asleep once.
At this time, Gu Feng is still sitting cross-legged, but his head hangs down to his chest, and his black hair almost touches the ground, completely covering his entire face, if you look at it from the back, Gu Feng at this moment is like a rickety old man, giving people a sense of vicissitudes, if it is not for the fact that his heart is beating slowly and powerfully, it is even difficult to judge whether he is still alive.
When the morning sun rises again, the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, although there is no sunlight in the ancient wind cave, but it is also a trace of warmth, it is precisely at this time, the right index finger of the ancient wind moved slightly, this is just the beginning, and then the ancient wind seems to be gathering strength, and its body slowly has a tendency to straighten up, until after a stick of incense, the ancient wind's body is finally almost straight, and its head is slowly raised.
After a long time, Gu Feng finally sat down, his eyes opened slightly, and two cold rays of light seemed to shoot out.
"Okay, good, Chu Xiong, you actually used such a conspiracy against me, I will never give up on this matter!"
Gu Feng suddenly muttered to himself, and fell into a deep sleep again, but this time the slumber was different from last time, last time to be exact, it should be considered a coma, and this time, it was Gu Feng who adjusted his state in this way.
When another two months passed, Gu Feng woke up again, and the Gu Feng at this time seemed to be very different from a year ago, although the momentum of the whole body had not changed, but it gave people a deeper feeling.
At this time, Gu Feng couldn't help but recall what happened a year ago, when his refining of Mo Yanding had reached the end, and it could be said that it was about to be completed, but suddenly a wave of demon consciousness erupted from within the ding, saying that it was demon consciousness, because Gu Feng Shizun had mentioned to him about demon cultivation, the appearance of demon cultivation was no different from that of normal monks, and even they absorbed the aura between heaven and earth for cultivation, but they transformed the aura into a demon element, which belonged to an alternative kind of vitality, and their divine consciousness was also different from that of normal monks, the divine consciousness of normal monks was translucent white, but their divine consciousness was black, of course, the color of divine consciousness was not seen with the naked eye, but perceives with divine sense.
That demonic consciousness was extremely strong that day, and I don't know what kind of divine consciousness technique the master of that demonic consciousness cultivated, it actually made that divine consciousness have the power of devouring, or the power of fusion, and it actually assimilated a small half of the ancient wind's divine consciousness in an instant, if it wasn't for the ancient wind that had been prepared, and used the sword of divine consciousness to break it up for a while, I am afraid that the ancient wind would have become a shell at this time.
On that day, it was precisely because the ancient wind knocked the demon consciousness into a temporary collapse, which actually caused the demon consciousness to be assimilated by the ancient wind, but the ancient wind's divine soul was decayed because of this, and even the sword of divine consciousness was greatly affected by the collision with the demon consciousness, and almost cracked, almost dissipating.
However, due to the assimilation of demonic consciousness, the ancient style has also been greatly transformed.
Assimilation is different from refining, assimilation is only a part of one's own divine consciousness, but it cannot urge the power of the divine soul contained in it, while refining is to completely refine it into one's own divine soul, which is a kind of complete possession.
In the two months after Gu Feng woke up, he tried to refine that demonic sense, and the result surprised him very much, because he found that the demonic consciousness could really be refined, although it was very slow, but every time he refined a little, his own divine consciousness would be a little stronger than before, if he continued according to this method, then he was confident that as long as he refined all the demonic consciousness, and then used the power of the exquisite fruit as an aid, his "Divine Sense" would definitely be able to break through the second layer and enter the third layer.
At the same time, with the refining of demon sense, Gu Feng's mind had some more memories that did not belong to him.
Most of the memories belong to an old man named Geng Shen, although this memory is only a part of his experience in the years before his fall, but through this part of the memory, Gu Feng still learned a lot of information.
That Geng Shen was also one of the deacons of the "Dan Dao" before his death, and he was Chu Xiong's senior brother, through the memory of the old man, Gu Feng learned something that was difficult for outsiders to know, that is, the real master of the "Dan Dao", it turned out to be the second disciple of the sect master Cangzhouzi, and he was usually taken care of by several of his senior brothers and disciples on weekdays......
"Sect Master, even if you don't trouble me anymore now, I will find you sooner or later to settle ......" Gu Feng muttered to himself.
Thinking of Chu Xiong's purpose of harming himself, Gu Feng naturally had a guess, that is, this matter had an inseparable relationship with several disciples of the sect master.
In addition, Gu Feng also learned about the situation when the old man fell through the old man's memory, which made Gu Feng afraid for a while, because the old man had a late stage of cultivation, and the power of divine consciousness was much stronger than Gu Feng, but when that demonic sense broke out, he was still at a disadvantage, and was finally completely devoured.
However, the old man's resistance at that time was quite fierce, and he chose to burn part of his divine consciousness, so although the demon consciousness successfully devoured all the old man's divine consciousness, it also paid a great price, so that even if he recuperated for five or six years, he still did not recover completely, which is also one of the reasons why Gu Feng used the sword of divine consciousness to blow it a little away with just one blow.
If the Demon Consciousness was at its peak a few years ago, then Gu Feng probably hadn't even urged the Sword of Divine Sense, and the Divine Consciousness in Mo Yan Ding would have been completely devoured by the Demon Sense, and by that time, Gu Feng's Divine Soul would have been pulled out, and the consequences would be unimaginable, and he would most likely end up like the old man......
In addition, Gu Feng thought that if he went to refine Mo Yanding in a few more years, then the result might be even worse, because by that time, the Demon Sense had completely refined the old man's Divine Sense for his own use, then it would only grow stronger, and even if Gu Feng had the Sword of Divine Sense, he might not be able to shake it.
Perhaps this is fate, Gu Feng due to various reasons, just got this tripod at this time, and refined it at this time, so that today's result is achieved.
"Chu Xiong, I can't imagine that you are obviously harming me, but you have brought me such a creation, so that I accidentally got the opportunity to improve the level of the 'Yi Shen Jue' because of devouring that demonic sense, and I know so many unknown things, this kindness, I will definitely repay you twice as much in the future!" Gu Feng muttered to himself again, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"It's a pity that most of the original memories of that demon consciousness have collapsed, leaving only a few fragmented pictures, but as I continue to refine it, the memories contained in it, I should get more, as for the old man's memory, it's a pity, most of his memories before refining Mo Yanding, I'm afraid they have completely dissipated because of his spontaneous combustion of divine consciousness......"
Thinking of this, Gu Feng shook his head, with a regretful expression on his face.
But the next moment, Gu Feng's eyes flashed, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
At this time, a strange picture suddenly appeared in my mind, it was the middle of the night, the night sky was deep, the moon and stars were scarce, but the strange thing was that there were two full moons in the sky at the same time, and there were eight people in black robes in the sky pinching the moon at the same time.
"Two full moons, how can there be two full moons in the picture, and they are very similar to the scene depicted in the scroll hanging on the wall on the first floor of the 'Dan Dao'......"
If it was just such a simple picture, then Gu Feng might feel weird, but he would not be so deep in thought, but at this time, in the fragmented picture in his mind, there was a scene of two moons, which was very similar to the scene that Gu Feng saw in the picture scroll on the first floor of "Dan Dao".
Chu Xiong once said that his senior brother likes calligraphy and painting, and the picture scroll was painted after he returned from the boundless grassland last time, and Gu Feng learned from the fragmented memory of the old man in the Demon Consciousness that the old man was also very fond of calligraphy and painting during his lifetime, so Gu Feng can almost conclude that the senior brother in Chu Xiong's mouth is the old man named Geng Shen......
"There is only this relatively complete picture in the Demon Consciousness now, which shows that this picture corresponds to an extremely deep memory of the Lord of Demon Consciousness, but these alone can't explain anything, I hope that through my continued refining of the Demon Sense, I can have more gains!"
Gu Feng muttered to himself, his divine sense moved, and the Mo Yanding on the ground in front of him suddenly floated in the air, and then suddenly became larger, until it reached the size of a skull.
"Mo Yan Ding, it should be called Demon Yan Ding, now that I have completely refined this Ding, it's time to delve into the way of alchemy, as for the refining weapon, it can only be left for later......"
Gu Feng whispered to himself, and the next moment he waved his right hand, and a small pile of medicinal herbs suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him.
"Although these herbs in Shizun Cave Mansion are not precious, they are valuable in large quantities, just let me use them to practice my hands and familiarize myself with how to make alchemy, presumably even if he knows it, he will not be reluctant!"
Gu Feng smiled slightly, only to see that with a flick of his right hand, a flame suddenly appeared out of thin air directly below the Demon Yan Ding in the air, and the flame emitted amazing heat, which was the Dan Fire that Gu Feng drew from his dantian.
With a wave of his right hand again, Gu Feng saw that the lid of the Demon Yan Ding automatically opened, and a small part of the medicinal herbs on the ground automatically flew up and slowly fell into the mouth of the Ding.
In the next few days, Gu Feng took the way of alchemy as the focus, and began another road of asceticism, but the way of alchemy is really not simple, the beginning of Gu Feng alchemy can be described as many twists and turns, Gu Feng has continuously refined dozens of Ding pills, and what he saw after opening Ding is a Ding ash, but Gu Feng never thought of giving up, while burying his head in groping, while studying the alchemy books left by his master.
In this way, another year and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Feng was still refining low-grade pills, and although its success rate continued to increase, reaching the level of eight or nine out of ten, it was still unable to reach one hundred percent.
"Now that I have made decent progress in alchemy, my cultivation has already reached the verge of breaking through, maybe I should try to hit the middle stage of Hedan. On this day, the ancient wind said to himself.
In the blink of an eye, ten days later, a slight roar finally sounded in the Ancient Wind Cave Mansion, calling that the ancient wind had successfully broken through and officially advanced to the middle stage of Hedan.
