Chapter 168 Breakthrough to Dou Sheng!

Not long after, Gu He entered the cultivation room.

Outside, the daylight was fading, and the setting sun was spilling its orange-yellow light like molten gold.

Cao Ying sat on the corridor chair, her fingers fiddling with the pink flower in her left hand, watching the door of the cultivation room. She did not leave for a long time, even until the moon rose and the cicadas began to chirp.

...

The Cao family's cultivation room was extremely large, lavishly so, with very luxurious decor. There were five cultivation rooms of the highest Rank alone, and the one Cao Ying took Gu He to was the one she frequented.

Inside, besides the Seal set by Dou Zun Experts on the sturdy walls and some furnishings like a normal room, there was a stone platform of moderate height with a soft cushion on it. Gu He could imagine Cao Ying sitting cross-legged on it to Cultivate.

A thought flashed through his mind. He took a deep breath, cleared his distracting thoughts, and sat down on the cushion.

The incense in the room drifted without wind. The faint scent of sandalwood traveled further under the curling flames, and the whole room was filled with the pleasant aroma of sandalwood.

Gu He took out a grey bone from his storage ring—this was something he had taken from the Dou Sheng remains in the Dou Sheng ruins.

He wouldn't have just taken a Heaven Rank Dou Skill from someone else's ruins.

His keen Soul perception told him that these remains had great utility.

It was just that his movements were very fast; no one present at the time discovered his actions, not even Yun Yun and the others noticed.

Gu He ignited his strange fire, Cloud-Breaking Ember. The gold-colored flame quickly refined this grey bone. The bone was not big, only about the size of a palm, but after Gu He's extraction and refinement, he managed to extract three drops of white essence from it.

Subsequently, Gu He spread his palm and took out the golden pill rewarded by the System.

The three white essence drops floating in the air wrapped around the pill rewarded by the System. Gu He swallowed it in one gulp and began to refine it slowly.

Pale golden Qi circulated rapidly within Gu He's body, just like five exquisite little Dragons intertwining within him.

The abundant power made the little Dragons constantly solidify, as if they could rush out of his body at any moment.

The System-rewarded pill Gu He ate carried fragments of ancient Dou Di memories; it was a miraculous item. He integrated his Soul consciousness into the Dou Di fragments.

The next moment, Gu He found himself appearing in another place—

His body was suspended above a continent. He could see the world below through the thick or thin clouds. This was clearly another planet, but it had a subtle connection with the Fighting Qi Continent.

In an instant, he understood that this was the memory of an ancient Dou Di.

After entering the Dou Di Realm, he would be able to leave the world of the Fighting Qi Continent and might head to—

The world of the Major Thousand Worlds.

The vast Major Thousand Worlds.

The Dou Di's memory flickered for only an instant, and Gu He couldn't help but feel his mind sway for half a second.

Next, it was a long period of cultivation.

...

Cultivation was obviously dull and boring, but Gu He had a very straightforward, even somewhat utilitarian goal—to promote to Dou Sheng.

Therefore, even though that boring feeling surged into his heart like a tide, he suppressed it one by one.

Gu He knew that not everyone could be as lucky as him, as if helped by the gods.

He also wanted to become stronger quickly, to improve himself and then travel to that mysterious Major Thousand Worlds.

Time passed in a hurry, like flowing sand passing through the gaps between fingers.

Unknowingly, Gu He thought of many things, and even thought of Medusa and their child. He specifically told Medusa before his seclusion. Medusa didn't say anything, just curled her lips,

"You must be there on the day the child is born! Otherwise, I will peel you alive!"

"And then soak you in wine and drink you slowly." Medusa's eyes were calm, but her red lips, like red flames, pressed against Gu He's cheek. She kissed slowly from the mature face downwards, kissing all the way, carrying maternal tenderness, yet also like a lingering, charming, lazy flower rotting.

This fragment flashed through Gu He's mind, and the shackle that had troubled him for a long time loosened accordingly.

He must end his seclusion quickly and come out. His child was still waiting for him to hold!

The second person the child sees must be him, Gu He.

He and Medusa had already thought of the names: He for a boy, Tong for a girl.

The boy is called Gu He, meaning happy events and smoothness; the girl is called Gu Tongtong, implying healthy growth.

It was also because Gu He and Medusa became acquainted because of a Medicinal Pill that consolidated the Soul, so they thought of this word.

Going home...

The shackle was completely broken! The feeling of a silver vase suddenly breaking and water splashing surged into Gu He's heart, like the thickest stroke of ink in the world, dotting Gu He's Soul.

"Boom—!"

Six-Star Dou Zun, Seven-Star Dou Zun...

Nine-Star Dou Zun!

Afterwards, as the obsession to break through to Dou Sheng deepened, the effect of the pill rewarded by the System also began to exert its actual power.

From First Revolution Dou Zun all the way to Ninth Revolution Dou Zun!

Ninth Revolution Dou Zun broke through to the Half-Saint Realm!

Tidal power surged into every inch of his body's meridians.

Finally—

"Clang!!"

He finally opened the door to break through to Dou Sheng at this moment!

One-Star Dou Sheng!

Gu He's body was filled with the power he had just obtained.

His skin was burning hot, as if it had been calcined by magma, but this feeling was not uncomfortable. Instead, it made people feel like they were reborn, as comfortable as bathing in Holy Light!

This is the strength of a Dou Sheng!

Gu He couldn't help but clench his fist.

Comfortable! To use Hai Bodong's line, it was refreshing! Refreshing!

This just goes to show that if cultivation doesn't work, take drugs to fight!

Gu He's mood was very complicated now. He actually wanted to get rid of the System and improve his behavior through his own efforts, but—

There is a shortcut, and he doesn't take it, is he an idiot?

So he still used the experience pill to improve.

And as he thought, a single leap to Dou Sheng!!

A powerhouse with Dou Sheng strength, beating up all the Dou Zong in the Fighting Qi Continent is not a problem, and he can also independently develop a space.

Although he cannot "create," he can take a part of the space in the Void Realm for his own use and can "open up."

Amidst the fluctuation of the air, Gu He had already flashed, the door of the cultivation room opened automatically without wind, and Gu He immediately flew out.

"Xiao Ying?"

Gu He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first person he saw when he left seclusion was Cao Ying.

He didn't know if Cao Ying came to the door of the cultivation room to check every day during the days he was in seclusion.

"Brother Gu He, you're out!" Cao Ying was already wearing another robe and flew towards Gu He.

There was excitement in her eyes that she hadn't seen for a long time: "You have been in seclusion for five months!"

Subsequently, Gu He gently caught her as she flew over, "Mm."

Cao Ying whispered, "Brother Gu He's Aura is even more mysterious... Is this... a successful Breakthrough?"

Cao Ying couldn't feel Gu He's cultivation Rank, so she guessed that Gu He had moved to a more powerful level.

Gu He touched Cao Ying's head. Cao Ying looked at him with slightly lazy eyebrows and eyes, her eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, Breakthrough... I am now a Dou Sheng!"

Gu He's Aura was completely released, but he gently restrained the overbearing pressure. He just wanted Cao Ying to know that he, Gu He, had done it; he kept his word, and his promise was worth a thousand gold.
