"If it were in another area, I could communicate with him through transmission, but that’s the third layer of the Fire Domain, and the transmission capability simply can’t be exercised."
The Peacock King explained somewhat helplessly.
"Is he sure he’s okay?"
Bai Yiyi asked again, her tense expression suggesting that Gu Sheng was like her boyfriend.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you inside to see for yourself; I don’t think you’ll be satisfied until you see it with your own eyes."
As the Peacock King spoke, he was about to pull Bai Yiyi into the Fire Domain.
Bai Yiyi quickly retreated.
She knew the danger of the Fire Domain and was aware that with her cultivation level, entering the second layer would lead to her annihilation.
"No, no, forget it, I trust your word."
Bai Yiyi hurriedly waved her hand.
At this moment, the Green Dragon King suddenly spoke.
"Peacock King, according to what you said, Gu Sheng is cultivating inside?"
"That’s right, his way of cultivating is different from ordinary cultivators; it’s like... it’s his way."
The Peacock King furrowed his brows, looking thoughtful.
"Who?"
Everyone simultaneously asked.
"That elder from five or six thousand years ago, known as the Mad Elder."
The Peacock King stated word by word.
"What! He... the two of them..."
The Green Dragon King stuttered slightly.
Meanwhile, Bai Yiyi and the others seemed puzzled, as the younger generation hadn’t heard much about the Mad Elder’s deeds.
"Who is that? Are they very powerful?"
Bai Yiyi asked curiously.
"Let me put it this way: the Green Dragon King and I joined forces, along with the Holy Master of the Ji family and the Shaking Light Saint, the four of us couldn’t get close to him; does that help you understand?"
The Peacock King explained to Bai Yiyi.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yiyi and the others were stunned.
In their eyes, the Peacock King was already a god-like existence.
Now, a Mad Elder whom four mighty figures couldn’t approach—what level could he be?
An Immortal?
A Divine Being?
Or perhaps an entity beyond the divine?
Bai Yiyi’s mouth hung open, a little incredulous.
Everyone was even more baffled as to how Gu Sheng was connected to the Mad Elder.
Previously, there were rumors in the East Desolation that Gu Sheng was related to the Mad Elder.
At that time, the Peacock King didn’t believe it.
What he saw in the Fire Domain this time really made him realize that Gu Sheng was not just any ordinary Sacred Body.
"When will he come out?"
Bai Yiyi asked.
"I don’t know, it could be soon, or it might take three to five years."
The Peacock King shook his head and said.
"Ah?"
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
With the continual introduction of Purple Fire’s power, Gu Sheng’s Wheel Sea began to emit dazzling light.
Gu Sheng felt as though his Wheel Sea was a purple sun rising within him.
Gradually, the power of Purple Fire accumulated even more in the Wheel Sea, ultimately reaching a critical point.
Upon perceiving this, Gu Sheng didn’t cease.
He continued to channel the power of Purple Fire further upward, through the bitter sea, ultimately arriving at the golden small lake above him.
The golden small lake was where Gu Sheng cultivated his Mystic Yellow Qi; the power of Purple Fire met Mystic Yellow Qi within, triggering a wondrous reaction.
Under the tempering of Purple Fire, Gu Sheng sensed transformational changes in his body’s organs...
They seemed to be refined anew, becoming tougher, stronger than before.
Simultaneously, his bones under dual action of Purple Fire and Mystic Yellow Qi became more resilient.
Furthermore, his muscles became much firmer, exhibiting the appearance of a robust man.
Thus, with the aid of Purple Fire, Gu Sheng’s cultivation continually advanced.
Divine Power circulated within him, his vitality vigorous under the nourishment of Divine Power.
Time slipped away quietly during cultivation, Gu Sheng was utterly immersed in his state of practice.
He forgot everything outside, focusing solely on enhancing his cultivation.
About half a month later, Gu Sheng felt his Divine Sense also benefitted from refinement.
Thereupon, he stirred Divine Power, extended his Divine Sense outward.
Instantly, his Divine Sense spread like an invisible net, covering the entire third layer of the Fire Domain.
At that moment, he could clearly perceive the surrounding Purple Fire, even detecting the Fire Spiritual Power within.
And the surrounding Purple Fire seemingly sensed the presence of Gu Sheng’s Divine Sense.
