Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

It wasn't Zhen Yue's fault for losing her composure, for the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu in the Shattered Star Sea was a kind of vicious thing that changed people's colors upon hearing about it.

The leader of the Corpse Demon Pirate Group, Corpse Demon Master, in order to better control his subordinates, cruelly inflicted each of them with this Evil Gu.

This act not only ensured the "loyalty" of his subordinates but also turned them into a breeding ground for nurturing Gu Worms and, ultimately, served as a kind of self-destructing killing device.

If a crew member dared to defy the leader's orders, with just a thought from Corpse Demon Master, the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu would immediately awaken from within their bodies and devour everything from their viscera to their flesh and bones.

Once a crew member died, the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu would also awaken, and if without a master's control, it would instinctively kill all living creatures nearby.

Part of the notorious ferocity of the Corpse Demon Pirate Group was due to the extreme cruelty of the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu. Find your adventure at empire

Imagine, after trying so hard to kill a member of the Corpse Demon Pirate Group, what you get in return is an even more terrifying Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu.

The more people killed, the larger the scale of the Gu Worms. Such a horrifying scene, if not experienced firsthand, is unimaginably desperate.

This turn of events also caught Zhao Sheng by surprise, and he couldn't help but inwardly curse the opponent for being vicious and sinister.

In a thought, he recalled all sorts of information about the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu, and his heart stirred.

All of a sudden, he threw out a Magic Talisman, which turned into flying ash. Under Zhao Sheng's feet, a large amount of clear water surged from nowhere, spreading upwards and quickly "encapsulating" his body into a Water Ball.

At that moment, a flash of blue light flickered in Zhao Sheng's eyes, the spirit in his eyes instantly disappeared, his pupils turned dim and lifeless, and his face became extremely indifferent, completely emotionless.

In that instant, all passions and desires were abandoned. Zhao Sheng was in a state of Absolute Rationality, and the world suddenly became "clearer" by tenfold.

Wherever he looked, all people, events, and things were finely detailed before his eyes. Numerous pieces of information suddenly surged from his mind, and he felt the world had never been so vivid and orderly.

Crack, crack!

The Water Ball quickly solidified into ice, turning into a large ice ball in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Sheng, like a dead person, did not move at all within the ice ball!

Elsewhere, the dense Gu Cloud suddenly became chaotic, but immediately afterward, it thunderously pounced towards Zhen Yue.

Zhen Yue, seeing Zhao Sheng hiding in the ice ball, internally cursed him for being foolish.

But at this moment, she couldn't afford to worry about that.

Seeing the Gu Cloud about to completely engulf her, Zhen Yue hardened her heart, and suddenly, a fiery red scroll appeared in her hands.

In the next instant, as the scroll unfurled, countless Red Flame Birds, big as seagulls, flew out from the scroll at high speed, forming a huge flock of Fire Birds, and collided thunderously with the attacking Gu Cloud.

Boom, crackling!

The Gu Cloud was temporarily swallowed by the flames, then exploded, the blast expanding the Fire Cloud, red feathers flying chaotically in the sky, and countless Gu corpses fell from the sky like rain.

Zhen Yue was first delighted, but her face quickly turned ugly.

Because beyond the few hundred Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu on the outer edge of the Gu Cloud that were burned to death by the flames, the vast majority of the Gu Worms were unharmed.

These Gu Worms, not yet fully mature, already possessed such strong resistance to flames, and if they were to fully develop, wouldn't they be unafraid of ordinary Spiritual Fire.

Zhen Yue knew that the Red Spirit Map in her hand contained a Chi Li Spirit Fire, and these Red Flame Birds were formed from the Chi Li Spirit Fire.

Chi Li Spirit Fire, a type of Spiritual Fire derived from Nanming Li Fire, has properties of Supreme Yang and specifically counters all sinister demons.

Logically, Chi Li Spirit Fire should be the nemesis of the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu.

But now, it seemed that the situation was far from satisfactory!

Zhen Yue kept urging the Red Spirit Map, releasing more Red Flame Birds, which transformed into walls of flame surrounding her, temporarily forcing the Gu Cloud not to approach.

She tried several times to escape but was extremely reluctant to abandon the heavy treasure in the hall. She noticed that the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu ignored the person next to her, dodging the ice balls and charging at her alone as if she were the only living person there.

This scene made Zhen Yue feel a combination of fear and urgency, and she was nearly bursting with anger!

Buzz, buzz!

The number of Gu Worms a corpse could contain was ultimately limited.

A few breaths later, as the corpses shriveled, the last few hundred Gu Worms joined the insect cloud in the courtyard, intensifying their attack on Zhen Yue.

At that moment, the ice ball surrounding Zhao Sheng suddenly cracked open with countless tiny fissures.

The next second, the ice ball abruptly shattered, scattering ice chunks all around.

Zhao Sheng, his face covered with white frost, expressionlessly stepped over the ice on the ground, walking step by step toward the hall, his robe shedding small particles of ice with every movement.

Strangely, the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu acted as if they didn't see him at all, even passing by his body without biting, instead, they attacked Zhen Yue.

Zhen Yue was utterly baffled by the reason.

However, Zhao Sheng had seen a description of the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu in a Gu Scripture from the Beast Taming Sect.

This type of Yin-related Gu Worm had an exceedingly peculiar sensory organ, not only capable of sensing the presence of living beings but also extremely adept at detecting fluctuations in a person's emotions and desires.

As long as a person had even a slight fluctuation in their desires or emotions, they couldn't possibly evade the pursuit of the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu.

This characteristic was also one of the reasons it was ranked among the top hundred Gu Worms in the Tianzhu Realm.

Zhao Sheng walked to the entrance of the hall and suddenly stopped, his eyes unmoving. He did not even glance at the ancient painting, but with a wave of his hand, a surge of water flew out, effortlessly scooping up the Treasure Bead and curling back to fall into his hand.

Then, he turned his head to look at the bamboo basket, his mind whirring like electricity, instantly conjuring countless possibilities, arranging them in order of probability.

The next second, taking into account factors such as human nature, traps, luck, coincidences, and more, Zhao Sheng immediately excluded most of the possibilities, leaving only the most likely and optimal scenarios in his mind.

After a moment of thought, Zhao Sheng suddenly turned away, surprisingly leaving the bamboo basket and other treasures untouched.

Under the principle of Absolute Rationality, preserving one's life always comes first. Any action that has a certain probability of endangering one's life would be excluded by him.

Clearly, there was some unknown connection between the bamboo basket and the ancient painting; touching it would raise the probability of death beyond the warning line Zhao Sheng had set.

Just then, Zhen Yue, overwhelmed with shock and anger, forcefully lifted the scroll she was holding upwards rapidly.

Countless Red Flame Birds gushed out, with the majority rushing toward the Gu Cloud en masse.

Simultaneously, a small portion quickly merged into a giant flame bird, screeching loudly and sending a wave of scorching flames fiercely shooting towards Zhao Sheng.

She was not having an easy time either, but she couldn't let him take away the core treasure of the Bei Mansion. Besides, she hoped that once he made a move, it would expose him, allowing the Three Corpses Seven Absolute Gu to discover him and thus share the pressure she was under.

Facing the attack, Zhao Sheng didn't utter a word. His figure flashed, fast as if he was using Instantaneous Movement, moving unpredictably to a spot dozens of feet away, nearly ready to leave the area.

"No!"

Zhen Yue cried out furiously, as the Golden Light Spirit Sword suddenly transformed into a sword rainbow, shooting out fiercely, aiming for Zhao Sheng's head.
