337: Myriad Tribulations Mysterious Water

The moment Gu Changge's voice fell, he gently plucked his fingertips in the Void Realm, and four crystal-clear drops of water, seemingly containing endless tribulations and the essence of new life, appeared out of thin air.

The instant those water drops appeared, the air across Zizhu Peak seemed to solidify. An indescribably heavy, ancient aura, as if capable of cleansing the Divine Soul, permeated the area, causing even a strong cultivator like Xuan Yangzi to feel a chill in his heart!

"This is the Myriad Tribulation Profound Water."

Gu Changge spoke softly.

"Absorbing this water is like enduring myriad tribulations without perishing, containing the opportunity for creation and new life. It can cleanse Divine Soul Impurities, temper the Dao Foundation, and enhance Aptitude."

Gu Changge had recently obtained a pool of it through a System check-in, and now was a good time to test its effects.

Before his words finished, he flicked his finger!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The four drops of Myriad Tribulation Profound Water transformed into four streaks of light, merging into the foreheads of Li Xuanfeng and the other three!

The four of them almost simultaneously let out an uncontrollable groan, their bodies trembling violently!

The instant it entered their bodies, the Myriad Tribulation Profound Water was like billions of icy profound needles piercing into their limbs and bones, delving deep into the innermost parts of their Souls!

At this moment, they seemed to fall into a grand and cruel Reincarnation illusion.

Their Divine Soul and Physical Body simultaneously underwent the baptism of myriad tribulations: the scorching pain of being burned by raging flames, the tearing sensation of Body Tempering by heavenly lightning, the torment of Heart Demons devouring their Souls, the desolation of passing years, the nihilism of collapsing Laws... Countless illusory images of tribulations rose and fell in their Sea of Consciousness. Each illusion and destruction was like a cycle of life and death.

Their will, Physical Body, spiritual power, and even their Dao Heart were pushed to the brink of collapse, only to be reshaped anew by the miraculous power of the Myriad Tribulation Profound Water.

The spiritual power around them circulated frantically at an unprecedented speed. Under the tempering of myriad tribulations, the last trace of Impurities was completely refined.

It became pure and flawless, like transparent glass, and even gained a trace of resilient Dao Rhyme that endured through tribulations without perishing.

Their aura steadily climbed.

Their Aptitude also advanced from Saint-Grade Mid and Low Grade to Saint-Grade Top Grade Aptitude!

Gu Changge did not stop. He pointed his fingers like a sword, repeatedly tapping at the four from a distance.

Profound incantations transformed into tangible runes, merging into the four individuals' bodies, like the most skilled blacksmith, using his own supreme magical power as a hammer.

He precisely forged the surging power within their bodies, helping them fully absorb and consolidate the medicinal properties of the Myriad Tribulation Profound Water, perfectly achieving Fusion with their own Foundation.

This process seemed brief, but for Li Xuanfeng and the other three, it was like experiencing a long Reincarnation and rebirth.

When the last incantation entered their bodies, the four individuals burst forth with soaring spiritual light, and their auras completely stabilized.

At this time, the temperament of the four had undergone an earth-shattering change.

Their eyes were deeper and more reserved, their spiritual power was perfectly harmonious, without the slightest stagnation, subtly aligning with the Dao Rhyme of heaven and earth.

A powerful aura involuntarily permeated the air. Although not deliberately displayed, it already gave people a heavy sense of oppression.

Although their cultivation was still at the Heavenly Human Realm, the purity of their spiritual power, the strength of their Physical Body, the condensation of their Divine Soul, and their understanding of their own Dao path had all undergone a qualitative leap!

The depth of their Foundation was unparalleled among those of the same realm!

Li Xuanfeng slowly clenched his fists, feeling the spiritual power within his body, which surged like a great river and was several times purer and more condensed. An unprecedented sense of powerful confidence spontaneously arose.

At this moment, he had a strong intuition that if he were to face Fakong again, he wouldn't even need to fight bitterly. With this transformed and profound Foundation and a deeper understanding of his Cultivation Technique, he was absolutely confident he could defeat him!

Xuan Yangzi eagerly stepped forward. Four spirit-testing jades flew out from his sleeves simultaneously, testing the Aptitude of the four individuals.

Shi Wanshan and Ye Guying also held their breath, staring intently at the spirit-testing jades.

The spirit-testing jades erupted with four dazzling runes, containing the Dao Rhyme of Perfection, radiating brilliant light!

Saint-Grade Top Grade Aptitude!

Moreover, all four of them simultaneously reached it!

"Hiss—!"

Xuan Yangzi gasped, his hand holding the mirror trembling slightly.

Shi Wanshan's bell-like eyes widened, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.

Extreme shock also appeared on Ye Guying's face.

This was Saint-Grade Top Grade Aptitude.

It was hard to say if even a handful could be found in the entire Xuanhuang Great World.

Yet, at this moment, Gu Changge had casually created four Saint-Grade Top Grade Aptitudes out of thin air.

Terrifying!

Absolutely terrifying!

"Myriad Tribulation Profound Water! What kind of divine object is this, its effect is actually so Heaven-Defying!"

Xuan Yangzi's voice trembled. He was well-read but had never heard of such a miraculous item!

It could actually allow someone to undergo the baptism of myriad tribulations in a short time, achieving a leap in life essence!

He looked at Gu Changge, his tone filled with immense emotion and a hint of imperceptible heartache.

"Changge, such a divine object that seizes the creation of heaven and earth must be extremely precious even to you, and there isn't much in stock, right?

You really went all out for these few lads!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changge's expression was calm, his gaze seemingly inadvertently sweeping over the System space.

A bottomless pool of profound water, shrouded in the aura of myriad tribulations, was quietly floating there.

He looked at Xuan Yangzi, who had an 'I understand, this must be very rare' expression, nodded gently, and slowly replied:

"Senior Brother is absolutely right, this item is indeed... not too much."

Xuan Yangzi's face immediately showed an 'as expected' expression upon hearing this, and he heavily patted Gu Changge's shoulder.

Everything was unsaid, he just felt that this Junior Brother had truly given his all and put in painstaking effort for the future of the Sect!

Shi Wanshan was so excited his face was flushed, his fists tightly clenched. Looking at the reborn transformation of his disciple Shi Jingxian, his lips trembled as he said:

"Good! Excellent! After this baptism, Jing Xian and Mo Chen are probably no less inferior to some veteran King Realm cultivators!"

Ye Guying took a deep breath. As a Sword Cultivator, he could best feel the incomparably sharp yet perfectly harmonious and restrained Sword Intent on Mu Chenyu. He murmured:

"Clear Sword Heart, flawless Foundation. This child's future achievements in the Dao of the Sword will likely far surpass mine! Junior Brother Gu, my Jianxiao Peak is indebted to you for this generous gift!"

The three of them looked at Gu Changge with endless gratitude and fervor.

Gu Changge looked at the refreshed four and nodded slightly, saying indifferently, "The Foundation is initially formed. How far you can go in the future depends on your own fortune."

Upon hearing this, the four were still somewhat dazed, as if in a dream.

Saint-Grade Top Grade Aptitude? This was an Aptitude they wouldn't even dare to dream of in the past!

Especially Shi Jingxian, he subconsciously raised his hand and gently pinched his arm, which was as thick as refined iron, with two fingers.

Huh? It doesn't hurt? Shi Jingxian was first delighted, and a silly grin instantly appeared on his chubby face: "Heh! It doesn't hurt! It really isn't a dream! This is great!"

But this wild joy only lasted for a moment before his dizzy mind suddenly tied itself in a knot.

Wait! Something's not right!

It doesn't hurt?

Shi Jingxian's heart immediately sank. That bit of happiness instantly vanished, replaced by immense disappointment.

He murmured, "It... doesn't hurt? Indeed... is it a dream? I knew it, how could such a good thing happen to me...?"

Although his voice was soft, who among those present wasn't sharp-eared and keen-eyed?

His Master, Shi Wanshan, almost fainted from anger upon hearing this. This simpleton!

He rushed forward in a single stride, his large, fan-like hand sweeping through the air as it smacked Shi Jingxian on the back of the head, making a crisp "slap" sound!
