Chapter 127 My nephew is quite the ladies' man!
Seeing Gu Yan's serious expression, he lowered his head and began to study the sheet music. With Dugu Xun's talent in music, he mastered it after only two readings. After finishing, he asked Gu Yan:
Are you currently trying to break through a bottleneck?
To his astonishment, Gu Yan's spiritual pressure surged violently, rising from the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm to its peak. Gu Yan had been suppressing his cultivation for some time, but now he felt he couldn't hold back any longer and had to break through that bottleneck.
They could have suppressed it, but wasn't it because of Gu Duyue?
Gu Yan has had a relatively smooth life, both in life and in cultivation. The only time she truly suffered a loss was with Umir. This is the second time, the second time she has been seriously injured.
Previously, there was little pressure; now, pressure generates motivation. Once that motivation is there, potential is unleashed.
He couldn't hold back any longer; he had to break through the bottleneck.
Dugu Xun stared in disbelief and said again, "You really are a monster."
"Brother, please." Gu Yan smiled slightly, her smile like a pure lotus flower slowly blooming.
Dugu Xun's heart was stirred, and his entire heart was immediately filled with satisfaction.
"Since you've said that, how could I possibly disappoint you?" Dugu Xun said, as he changed to another zither. He had quite a few magical treasures of the weapon-master level and the holy artifact level, but as for divine artifacts, the Dugu family hadn't given him any yet. Because with his current cultivation level, he didn't need them.
Dugu Xun placed a seven-stringed zither, carved from a beautiful piece of jade, on his lap. He first played the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra" on it, the first time to get himself into the right state of mind. Then he played it again, and Gu Yan gradually adjusted her state as well.
The surrounding spiritual energy frantically converged on Gu Yan, and accompanied by the clear and tranquil sound of the zither, a holy spiritual light shone brightly from Gu Yan's body, with five-colored rays of light surrounding him. His long black hair moved without wind, and the bloodstains on his white robe disappeared, leaving it spotless.
He is as holy as a god.
With the suppression of the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra" gone and without Umir's interference, Gu Yan easily broke through the bottleneck of the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm and entered the late-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Inside the tower, Dugu Xun stared at Gu Yan in disbelief.
Why does it feel like he broke through a level as easily as drinking water? Am I really a genius? Dugu Xun suddenly felt that his talent was very crude, and compared with Gu Yan, he felt inferior.
"Brother, give me your storage ring," Gu Yan said.
In the Cloud Realm, asking someone for their storage ring is equivalent to demanding all their bank cards, phone numbers, and passwords. This is an extremely rude act.
Without hesitation, Dugu Xun removed his storage ring and gave it to Gu Yan. Gu Yan scanned it with his divine sense, took out all the pills and rare herbs he thought might be useful, and then returned the storage ring to Dugu Xun.
Dugu Xun put his storage ring back on and looked at Gu Yan, curious about what she was going to do. Then he saw Gu Yan pick up a bottle of high-grade pills and pour them into her mouth. Startled, Dugu Xun snatched the pills away and exclaimed, "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?"
Eating like that, aren't you afraid of exploding and dying?
To dare consume an eighth-grade Heaven-Mending Pill like this is suicidal!
"Don't worry, I won't die."
Gu Yan snatched the bottle of Heaven-Mending Pills back and then popped them into her mouth like she was eating candy. Dugu Xun frowned as he watched, asking Gu Yan, "What are you trying to do?"
"I want to raise my cultivation to the late stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm, and then try to break through to the Spirit Venerable Realm," Gu Yan said.
Yes, he wants to raise his cultivation to the late stage of Void Refinement and then attempt to break through to the Integration stage.
Dugu Xun could hardly believe his ears:
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy," Gu Yan said.
Seeing that he was about to take drugs again, Dugu Xun quickly grabbed his hand: "Can you calm down? If you keep doing this, even if you succeed, it will cause endless trouble in the future."
"My dad... I'll handle that old geezer, don't do anything rash!"
Dugu Xun was getting anxious.
"You're overthinking it. I would never use any methods that force growth. I have my reasons for doing this." Gu Yan broke free from his hand and continued taking the drugs.
Dugu Xun was about to try to persuade her, but Gu Yan said in a commanding tone, "Play the 'Heart-Cleansing Mantra' for me."
Dugu Xun: "..."
Dugu Xun was quite helpless, but he could only do as Gu Yan ordered. He began to play the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra".
After consuming four bottles of pills, Gu Yan sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. His spiritual energy surged once more, and his spiritual pressure became violent again. The several giant dragons coiled around the pillars inside the Dragon Tower rolled their eyes and breathed dragon breath at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan absorbed all the dragon's breath, and the spiritual energy inside the tower once again frantically gathered towards her, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy around her.
Dugu Xun couldn't believe that Gu Yan, who had only just entered the late stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm, could successfully break through to the Spirit Venerable Realm. It was fucking insane. But for some reason, deep down, he actually believed in Gu Yan. He believed he could do it.
Gu Yan consumed all the pills he possessed, as well as the high-grade pills he found in Dugu Xun's storage ring. The violent medicinal power was surging within his body, as if it were about to burst him apart. Gu Yan used the "Tai Xu Technique" to digest the medicinal power, and large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.
Seeing the pain on his face, Dugu Xun knew that this process must have been very difficult for him, and he couldn't help but hate his father.
That old geezer!
"Brother, don't get distracted, keep playing."
Gu Yan said something.
Dugu Xun was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure and focused all his attention on the strings of the zither.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Outside, Dugu Yue had already stopped playing the zither.
He stared at the towering, hundred-zhang-high Panlong Pagoda, utterly puzzled. He muttered to himself, "Why is there no movement? What are those two kids doing in there?"
Did they really consummate their marriage inside?
Dugu Ao and Dugu Sheng were eating melon seeds nearby. When they saw Dugu Yue looking over, Dugu Ao smiled wickedly and said, "Maybe they don't even care about you right now. Oh dear, my nephew is quite the ladies' man..."
That little girl named Gu Yan is truly an absolute beauty. It's a bit of a pity she's not a woman, but with looks like that, whether she's a boy or a girl doesn't matter anymore.
Just then, a strong fluctuation came from inside the tower, causing the entire Panlong Tower to tremble. Dugu Ao said, "So intense? My nephew is so hot-blooded, don't hurt that little guy." He then chuckled twice.
Dugu Yue looked serious; he felt something was amiss, something just felt off.
He waited and waited with a stern face.
As time passed, the fluctuations of the Panlong Tower grew stronger and stronger.
As if answering Dugu Yue's intuition, an overwhelming spiritual pressure erupted from the Panlong Pagoda. This pressure was comparable to that of a Spirit Venerable, but it wasn't Dugu Xun's. The three Dugu brothers would never mistake the spiritual power of their son or nephew; this...this spiritual pressure...
Dugu Yue, Dugu Ao, and Dugu Sheng all wore expressions of disbelief.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!!
How is that possible?
