Chapter 144: Breaking Through to the Four-Star Dou Aor
Endless pain! It felt like being in purgatory.
Every part of Gu He's body was veying the meaning represented by this word.
But for him, besides enduring the torment, he had no other option. However, amid the suffering, the only f thing was that he could clearly feel that, with the spreading of the burning pain in his body, powerful energy was gradually radiating from those burning areas.
He noticed that after the burning, the bone marrow, bones, meridians, cells, muscles, and more in his body were all gradually undergoing a transformation.
Evidently, this so-called marrow purification and body tempering truly had immense effects.
"Hold on!"
Gu He tio sole himself. After enduring such a long time, perhaps due to numbness, he suddenly felt a bit absent-minded.
In this state of distra, it seemed that the intense burning pain in his body had also diminished quite a bit. After such a prolonged period of pain, he had built some resistance.
The suffering gradually passed iremely slow time. Eventually, Gu He had pletely fallen into a kind of dazed half-awake state.
In this almost bewildered perception, he had fotten the cept of time. The only thing he could feel was that with the burning pain gradually subsiding, his bones, meridians, cells, and more were being purer and more resilient.
...
"Nan Senior Sister, you've e."
In Gu He's courtyard, Senior Sister Nan looked at the arrival of Xiao Yi Xian with surprise in her eyes.
Hearing Senior Sister Nan's address, Xiao Yi Xian's face dispyed a hint of embarrassment.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes revealed a hint of determination as she slowly spoke, "You should call me Senior Sister from now on."
In Xiao Yi Xian's view, she was the test to join, so she should call Senior Sister Nan. It's just that whehought of her previous position as "Junior Sister Xian'er," suddenly turning into "Sed Senior Sister," Xiao Yi Xia rather plicated and embarrassed.
Well, it's her fault for joining so te.
Xiao Yi Xia a little hurt.
Senior Sister Nan, looking puzzled, said, "Call you Senior Sister?"
She didn't uand the meaning of Xiao Yi Xian's words.
Xiao Yi Xian expined, "Now that I've bee a disciple under our master, the two of us are officially fellow disciples. I joihe test, so I should address you as Senior Sister."
Senior Sister Nan smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiao Yi Xian. I'm used to being called Senior Sister. Now that it's ging, I'm feeling a bit unfortable."
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Naated and asked, "Will our master mind?"
She had just retly joined and wasn't clear about the rules among our master's disciples. She thought she should follow the rules and not upset our master.
Xiao Yi Xian expined with a smile, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. Our master's disciples don't have many rules. As long as you don't betray the seaster won't mind."
"I see..."
Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Senior Sister Na relieved.
No rules?
Would that mean her position as Senior Sister could be preserved?
In fact, she didn't mind calling Xiao Yi Xian Senior Sister. After all, they were close in age, and they got along well. Senior Sister or Junior Sister didn't matter to Senior Sister Nan.
However...
Senior Sister Nan g Little Qinglin, who was enjoying pastries in the pavilion.
This young girl joined before her. Acc to the rules, wouldn't she also have to call Little Qinglin Senior Sister? That would be quite embarrassing for Senior Sister Nan.
After all, as the Sect Leader's direct disciple, she had always been addressed as the Big Senior Sister.
Now, hearing Xiao Yi Xian's expnation, Senior Sister Na a bit more at ease.
Senior Sister Nan looked around the courtyard and asked Xiao Yi Xian, "Xian'er, I've e to pay my respects to our master. But it seems he's in seclusion?"
"In seclusion?"
Hearing this, Senior Sister Nan was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Did our master say when he'll e out?"
Xiao Yi Xian shook her head and said, "Master said he would be in seclusion for a few days, so it shouldn't take too long."
Seeing Nan Yanran's disappointed expression, Xiao Yi Xian soled her, "I'll inform you as soon as our master es out."
Nan Yanran nodded and said, "Alright."
She thehe courtyard.
...
In an unknown mountain range.
Inside a dim cave.
At this moment, Gu He was sitting cross-legged in a wooden tub, and the scorg sensation within his body had gradually subsided at some point.
After a siderable amount of time had passed, the burning pain had finally faded away pletely.
With the vanishing of the pain, Gu He's previously dazed mind suddenly cleared.
Gu He hurriedly sed his inner self with his sciousness and was astouo find that the rainbow-colored hues that had once filled his body were pletely gone.
Now, his bones, meridians, and other parts emitted a faint radiance, resembling white jade, giving the impression of taining boundless power.
The awakening of his sciousness acted like a key. Suddenly, his once silent inner self began to operate like a sophisticated mae, eng its first operation after the transformation.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound echoed within his body, leaving Gu He staring in astonishment as an enormous energy surged forth from every er of his body. For a moment, he was somewhat distracted.
In Gu He's momentary distra, those immense, pure energies voluntarily flowed into his meridians.
If it were in the past, the influx of such a colossal energy would have certainly caused his meridians to throb painfully. However, now, as the energy flowed in, his meridians expanded and tracted flexibly, aodating these enormous energies without causing Gu He any pain.
This energy was extremely vast and shogly pure, to the extent that it required no refining from Gu He.
Furthermore, for some unknown reason, this energy didn't resist Gu He in the slightest; it flowed with ease, almost as if it were obediently responding to his ands.
As the vast energy circuted along the meridian pathways, after one cycle, it rushed into the Dou Crystal within the cye like aing mountain torrent, causing a tinuous booming sound.
Uhis deluge of energy, the pigeon egg-sized Dou Crystal began to visibly expand at ag speed.
Thump, thump, thump! As a series of muffled sounds resounded, a powerful pressure erupted from Gu He's body, sweeping out of the cave.
Four-Star Dou Aor!
