LRAB Chapter 19: Nobody would believe it even if I told them.
Chapter 19: Nobody would believe it even if I told them.
With an excited expression, Gu Yan opened the ancient scroll, carefully browsed through it, and suddenly realized what was going on.
This immortal and indestructible golden body can only be cultivated at the Dou Ling level, and there is a strict requirement.
That requires tempering with a different kind of fire!
This was no problem for Gu Yan.
In addition, Gu Yan also learned that the Undying and Indestructible Emperor's Golden Body is divided into three levels and three realms.
Refining one's body to the first level of the Undying and Indestructible Emperor's Golden Body can increase combat power threefold.
Refining one's body to the second level of the Undying and Indestructible Emperor Golden Body can increase combat power fivefold.
Refining one's body to the third level of the Undying and Indestructible Golden Body can increase combat power sevenfold.
As for the three realms, they represent a sublimation of another dimension.
In the Myriad Manifestations Realm, one's physical strength can rival that of a Dou Zun expert!
At the Undying Realm, one's physical strength is comparable to that of a peak Ninth-Rank Dou Zun!
At the Emperor Realm, one's physical strength is comparable to that of a Dou Sheng expert!
The creator of this body-refining secret technique was a powerful Dou Di from ancient times.
After reading it, Gu Yan calmed down.
Although this body-refining secret technique, when it reaches its highest level, is enough to rival a Dou Sheng powerhouse, how easy is it to cultivate to that level?
Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to use that energy to directly raise one's Dou Qi cultivation to the Dou Sheng realm?
Gu Yan did not aim too high or daydream about the future; he had to consider the reality and calculate the time cost.
However, if one could truly achieve sainthood in both battle qi cultivation and physical strength, then one's combat power would likely reach an extremely terrifying level.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time. We haven't even reached the Dou Ling realm yet.
Gu Yan shook his head slightly and put the ancient scroll away.
Let's focus on improving our battle qi cultivation first.
So Gu Yan immediately began cultivating.
I didn't sleep all night, and meditation is one way to adjust my state.
Time passed second by second, and Gu Yan was getting closer and closer to the membrane of a Seven-Star Dou Master.
Just as Gu Yan was about to touch it, a noisy commotion suddenly came from outside.
Gu Yan's soul power spread out and he immediately saw that there were suddenly thirty or forty people in the manor, some of whom were carrying the corpses of Zhao Dezhu and others.
He quickly ended his cultivation and opened his eyes.
Xiao Lin was already waiting for him at the door.
"Let's go take a look."
Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Xiao Lin leaped onto his shoulder.
Gu Yan opened the door, black and gold light flashing beneath his feet, and sped towards the Gu family's main hall.
At the same time, a loud shout echoed throughout the entire manor: "Clan leader, the Zhao family patriarch has led the city lords of the other three cities into the manor!"
……
The Gu family's reception hall.
When Gu Yan arrived, there were already over a hundred people gathered in the spacious hall.
Zhao Zhiheng and the others stood in the center of the hall, with seven corpses lying on the ground beside them.
Gu Ruiqing looked at the seven corpses on the ground, then at Zhao Zhiheng, and said coldly, "What does your Zhao family mean by bringing seven corpses to our Gu family?"
He had seen them; these were all top-tier fighters from the Zhao family.
I just don't know why they died such a tragic death.
"Gu Ruiqing, stop pretending! Do you dare say they weren't killed by people from your Gu family?" Zhao Zhiheng was furious when he saw Gu Ruiqing's expression that said, "Don't try to extort me if it has nothing to do with me." He pointed at Gu Ruiqing and shouted.
Gu Ruiqing and the others looked bewildered and were very puzzled.
Zhao Zhiheng wouldn't go so far as to kill Zhao Dezhu and others to frame the Gu family, would he?
After all, the Zhao family only has about ten Dou Shi experts.
Seven people died at once.
That would be a huge loss.
But these seven people are indeed dead, and judging from their wounds, they were clearly inflicted by a Grand Master.
Nowadays, it seems that only the Gu family dares to kill members of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family lost seven Dou Shi, which naturally made Gu Ruiqing and the others very happy.
But they definitely didn't kill the people.
Gu Ruiqing looked at Gu Tianyao, who shook his head and said, "I didn't do it."
He then looked at Gu Tianyang, who also shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who did it."
Gu Ruiqing finally looked at Zhao Zhiheng and said, "I didn't kill anyone. I haven't left the Gu family manor these past few days."
"Bullshit! How did that person die?" Zhao Zhiheng laughed in anger.
Gu Ruiqing's eyes turned cold as he said, "How utterly ridiculous! If I, Gu Ruiqing, say I didn't kill anyone, then I didn't kill anyone. If I did kill them, do you think I wouldn't dare admit it?"
Zhao Zhiheng's expression changed, and then he looked at Gu Tianyao.
"The bodies of Zhao Dezhu and the others were found outside Gulang City, and they were clearly killed by a Grand Dou Master. If it wasn't Gu Ruiqing, then it could only be Gu Tianyao or Gu Tianyang!"
Zhao Zhiheng knew Gu Tianyang's personality well, so he was even more suspicious of Gu Tianyao.
If Gu Tianyang had killed someone, it would be impossible to hide it.
"I didn't kill him," Gu Tianyao said expressionlessly.
He had actually considered a possibility, but he didn't say it aloud.
Of course, he couldn't say it.
Actually, no one would believe it if I told them.
His gaze suddenly sharpened, and he coldly questioned, "Why are the Zhao family members outside our Gulang City? From what you're saying, they arrived before dawn. I'm rather curious, what are your intentions in rushing to our Gulang City overnight?"
"Could it be that the person who died outside Gulang City was killed by someone from my Gu family?"
"Isn't your Zhao family being a bit too domineering?"
Gu Yan calmly watched this scene. If the Zhao family continued to make trouble, he would have no choice but to settle things with them today.
However, the Zhao family in Chaotic Star City will be on guard then.
Gu Tianyang wanted to explain himself, but found that Zhao Zhiheng didn't seem to suspect him at all, so he chose to remain silent.
"You three are trying to shirk all responsibility. If the Gu family doesn't hand over the murderer today, this matter won't end here!" Zhao Zhiheng said, looking determined to get what he wanted.
"Could it be that your Zhao family intends to use this as a pretext to launch a war against my Gulang City?"
Gu Ruiqing's eyes were icy as he swept over the three people beside Zhao Zhiheng who had remained silent. He said in a deep voice, "Luo Xingchen, Ren Yunfan, and Li Fan, the three of you have come here today to help the Zhao family bully the Gu family. You have completely stood on the opposite side of the Gu family."
Luo Xingchen, Ren Yunfan, and Li Fan all remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Of the five cities, Chaotic Star City has always been the strongest, while Ancient Wave City is slightly weaker, but neither can afford to offend them.
But the situation is different now.
With two nine-star Grand Dou Masters about to emerge from the Zhao family, and the Yunxing Sect backing them up, choosing which side to take is not difficult.
Seeing that Luo Xingchen and the others acquiesced, Gu Ruiqing and Gu Yan exchanged a glance, then laughed loudly: "Very well, since we've come this far, why talk about social activities? Since the Zhao family wants to deal with my Gu family now, why bring in seven corpses? This kind of framing is like that of a madman, resorting to any means necessary, and is a laughing stock."
"Since the Zhao family wants a decisive battle, my Gu family will accompany them to the end!"
"The three of you, my Gu family originally did not wish to be your enemies, but now that things have come to this, don't blame us for disregarding past relationships!"
