Chapter 609: Better to die than not be free
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
At the center of the scene, the three qi were fusing.
With the help of Giant Sun’s will, the thick qi flows had almost formed a cocoon around Tai Bai Yun Sheng!
All his injuries were long gone without any trace, his body, soul and consciousness were all being refined to a higher level.
He looked back on his life, the scenes of the past quickly flashing through his mind.
The mysteries of the Great Dao circulated in his mind, inspirations came to him without pause, he was obtaining perfect solutions for the difficult problems in cultivation that had restrained him in the past.
At this moment, heaven and earth were like selfless teachers, imparting all their knowledge to Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
However, the mysteries of heaven and earth were too vast and profound, the more Tai Bai Yun Sheng knew, the more he realized his minuteness.
He had no choice but to focus on his time path, refining and developing his knowledge.
His understanding towards time path reached the peak of his lifetime!
Inspiration from nature!
Man is the spirit of all livings beings, Gu is the essence of heaven and earth. Gu Masters used Gu, refined Gu and raised Gu; this was actually an unending process of learning, exploring and studying the world.
In the process of advancing to a Gu Immortal, a Gu Master need not use Gu worms to indirectly understand the world, instead it was a direct interaction with heaven and earth.
This was probably the only chance in one’s whole life before becoming a Gu Immortal to have such a precious opportunity.
Rank five peak stage was the finishing line of mortal Gu Masters. But rank six Gu Immortals were beyond mortal, becoming a Gu Immortal was only a new starting point.
At this crucial starting point, every Gu Immortal’s future achievements would be different depending on the potential they accumulated.
“Such a beautiful experience, but my human qi is not sufficient…” Tai Bai Yun Sheng wished to continue immersing himself in this feeling but could not do so, a regretful expression appearing on his face.
His human qi was already nearly exhausted, and this was after obtaining the help of human qi Immortal Gu, otherwise the time would have been even shorter.
The qi cocoon dispersed and Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s silhouette was revealed again.
The three qi had merged and shrunk down to a mass of tri-colored primordial qi, condensed into where Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s aperture had originally been.
This step signified the completion of the second step in advancing to a Gu Immortal, receiving qi.
Next was the final step of becoming a Gu Immortal — releasing Gu!
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was being extremely serious, as he took out river as before, mountain as before and man as before Gu.
These three Gu were his core Gu worms and he was exceedingly familiar with them. Moreover, man as before Gu was even his vital Gu.
“Finally, the most crucial moment…” Tai Bai Yun Sheng first sent his vital Gu to the mass of tri-colored primordial qi in his body.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, a mystical sound like that of thunder storm echoed in Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s ears, causing his whole body to intensely shake.
The tri-colored mass of qi was originally merged together and constantly flowing in circulation. But after Man As Before intruded in, it was like it had ignited an explosive; the primordial qi mass immediately exploded loudly.
There can be no creation without destruction, in death there is new life!
This moment was when a mortal could ascend to a Gu Immortal!
The explosive sound was truly mystical, exploding out the marvels of life, exploding out a whole new world!
The mortal aperture was broken, an immortal aperture was being formed!
