Chapter 343 Imperial Treasure?
Chapter 343 Imperial Treasure?
Sword cultivators wield swords, and formation masters arrange formations.
A Gu master, of course, uses Gu!
Throughout history, renowned magical treasures have appeared from time to time, causing a sensation in all directions.
The Heaven-Destroying Sword, the Immortal-Slaying Formation... and so on.
While there may be some exaggeration involved, the most crucial point is that these world-renowned magical treasures have gained recognition from all sides!
They believe it can—no, it truly can—destroy the heavens, slay immortals, and bring down emperors!
The one that Master Lexin threw out is clearly one of them!
The Emperor's Fall Gu can truly harm an emperor and hasten his demise.
The Great Emperor is such a powerful being that no one in any realm dares to hope that he will perish.
Even without a domain, a lone Emperor-level expert cannot be easily defeated.
Saints do not die; once they reach the realm of sainthood, they will not easily perish.
Even if its essence is extracted and sealed for a thousand years.
Once they escape their predicament, given enough time, they will be heroes once again.
The Great Emperor's survival ability is even greater, and his Imperial Way represents him as the strongest in this field.
As long as one maintains their imperial destiny and remains invincible, they will always be invincible.
Under such circumstances, the fact that the Emperor's Fall Gu can still be known proves its power.
"The Emperor's Fall Gu? Can it really harm an emperor?"
"Didn't you see the look in the eyes of the Red Apricot Cliff Master? That Gu worm is as chaotic as an abyss; it might really be possible."
"The Heavenly Origin Realm actually has the Emperor's Fall Gu, and quite a few treasures."
"What a pity, such a blessed land is not under the control of my emperor."
"If we can possess this Gu now, one day we will surely become a force to be reckoned with."
The students were buzzing with discussion, most of them looking surprised.
If a Gu worm can harm an emperor, how can it not be an imperial weapon?
To possess an imperial weapon before even reaching the Saint Realm—how could anyone not be envious?
If it weren't for the large number of people and the presence of the furnace master, one would not have to abide by the rules of the Jieyuan Palace.
It seems the students are already itching to attack him en masse, hoping to seize the Emperor's Fall Gu.
“He is likely the last descendant of the Ten Thousand Bones Cave.” Monk Buchi said solemnly, his expression grave. “Be careful, and never provoke him.”
He gave Su Yun some advice, his words full of earnest instruction.
To outsiders, it was just an elder giving earnest advice to a younger person, which was truly touching.
The monk, Bu Chi, was already extremely relieved: "Thank goodness, I didn't have to confront that Gu master."
The Cave of Ten Thousand Bones is no longer worth mentioning, as the Southern Region has been destroyed.
But for Layman Lexin to escape the disaster and arrive at Jieyuan Palace, luck and strength were both indispensable.
Moreover, he also brought out the Emperor's Fall Gu, further demonstrating his noble status.
Of course, when cultivators reach a high level, the Great Dao merges into their protective true energy, ensuring their safety.
However, Gu masters are mysterious, and all sorts of invisible Gu worms emerge one after another.
No one knows if they might pull out an item with an attribute that counters the Gu worms and kill them unexpectedly.
Therefore, when dealing with a Gu Master, it is best to catch them off guard and not give them any opening to prepare.
The more reserves you have, the more terrifying this kind of powerful enemy becomes.
Zhou Nanchu, the master of Red Apricot Cliff, frowned at first, then became happy: "There are still people alive in the Ten Thousand Bones Cave, and they even have the Emperor's Fall Gu. It's truly heaven's help."
Both Red Apricot Cliff and Ten Thousand Bones Cave are powerful sects with rich heritage, dominating their respective regions.
While not as powerful as giants like the Xuanqing Sect, they still possess their own outstanding talents.
After the death of the previous cliff master, Zhou Nanchu took over the Red Apricot Cliff and read a large number of hidden books.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Bones can not only plant Gu poison in mortals, turning them into Gu soldiers, but also rival the sharp edge of military strategists.
Furthermore, there is the ancient Emperor's Fall Gu, which is said to be able to truly harm even an emperor!
The emperor cannot live forever, but his legacy, magical treasures, and power can be passed down from generation to generation.
Over time, some techniques may be lost or damaged, but some will still survive.
Ancient powers, more or less, possess remnants of ancient emperors' scriptures and broken imperial weapons.
The Emperor's Fall Gu is one of them; it is an imperial weapon left over from ancient times.
Its power is immense; it can cause the fall of an emperor and shatter the entire Heavenly Origin Realm.
However, because it is so powerful, it also requires more external force.
For so many years, no one has been able to activate the Emperor's Fall Gu and restore its full power.
The previous Grand Master Gu never considered using his most treasured secret weapon.
It cannot be stimulated and requires the absorption of a large amount of external resources.
This is not a magic weapon, but a burden.
Only after the Ten Thousand Bones Cave was destroyed and the remaining personnel evacuated did they take the treasure that guarded the cave with them again.
The hermit Lexin was clearly being groomed to be the next Great Gu Master, which is why he was able to come into contact with the Emperor's Fall Gu.
"Unfortunately, the Cave of Ten Thousand Bones existed for countless years, but it was destroyed due to a miscalculation."
"If you were given more time, I'm afraid you could rebuild it."
Zhou Nanchu chuckled in his heart.
If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both. If you save the people but lose the land, you save both.
He has the next Grand Gu Master, the Emperor's Fall Gu, and also carries the secret teachings of the Ten Thousand Bone Cave.
Give it a few hundred or a thousand years, and maybe it really can be rebuilt.
"Unfortunately, it's impossible." A glint of greed flashed in Zhou Nanchu's eyes.
"If the Emperor's Fall Gu were a bit bigger, it would be better. It's so weak that I have to put in a lot of effort to feed it."
"Where can we find something to feed an Imperial Weapon?"
While various factions harbored their own ulterior motives, Layman Lexin had already planted the Emperor's Fall Gu on the person in the box.
The man, who had lost most of his body and was in a pitiful state, howled in extreme pain.
Its flesh was torn apart, its eyes were bloodshot, and it was mad as a demon.
But because of the healing formation at Red Apricot Cliff, they could not die no matter what, which was extremely pitiful.
Swish!
Just then, the Gu worm burrowed into his body.
Master Lexin cast a spell: "Suppress all limbs and bones!"
Wow!
The next instant, the person inside the box stared wide-eyed, and the trembling that had been shaking like a leaf suddenly stopped.
The next moment, he spoke in human language: "Cliff Master, is this feasible?"
hiss!
Everyone realized that Layman Lexin had neither improved the red talisman nor alleviated the pain.
Instead, they used Gu worms to directly control the body of the person inside the box.
Since it's not me who's in pain, what does it matter?
Layman Lexin recited two incantations: "The mother insect can command the offspring and retain most of its wisdom."
"Ordinary feeding and farming are enough."
Zhou Nanchu nodded slowly: "Not bad."
Layman Lexin said, "If there are Gu worms controlling it, there's no need to use red talismans, right?"
Zhou Nanchu smiled and said, "Okay."
The students discussed among themselves: "It seems that the one who used witchcraft has won."
"By taking a different approach, Gu worms can indeed replace red talismans."
"We did overlook that; why use such troublesome methods to control mortals?"
"This kid beat me one round."
The crowd whispered among themselves, some expressing resentment and others admiration.
Hongxing Cliff is primarily a medicine-focused area, and everyone tends to solve problems through elixirs.
Unexpectedly, someone was able to bypass the red talisman and use Gu worms to control mortals.
This not only solves the problem, but also saves a lot of trouble.
Regardless, in this difficult situation, Layman Lexin emerged victorious.
At that moment, Layman Lexin turned around and glanced at Si Chun.
"Ha, why is the fairy still working so hard? It's pointless now."
"That's right, since we didn't manage to refine it, let's just forget about it."
"Unfortunately, Fairy Si Chun has a powerful background, but despite her best efforts, she cannot defeat him."
Just now, everyone thought that Si Chun had a good background, her father was an important figure in Dengrongtai, and she had good resources and connections, so she would definitely win the game.
But unexpectedly, their attitude changed 180 degrees not long afterward.
No matter how strong Si Chun's father is, he is not an emperor!
The fact that Layman Lexin could produce the Imperial Treasure already shows that he has completely overwhelmed them.
In this situation, there is no doubt about it.
