Chapter 147 Threefold Transcendence!

In the official records of the Five Continents... no one has ever achieved this feat.

Because it's too difficult.

For transcendental cultivators, each minor realm is a major threshold.

A threefold transcendence means that the spiritual system has crossed an entire major stage!

Gu Shen stood amidst the dust of the collapsing statue, clenching his fist, silently feeling the transformation occurring within his spiritual sea...

No matter how much a third-order transcendental cultivates, they only possess a "domain embryo."

Only by advancing to the fourth order can one create their own domain.

Gu Shen was a lucky one in ten thousand; his spiritual domain had planted the seed of an embryo in the second order, growing rapidly. Because of Gu Changzhi's selfless gift, he comprehended the wilderness of seasons in the early stages of his cultivation, and gradually developed it into the "Pure Land World" during the fusion with the Pluto Fire Seed.

And after breaking free from the golden circlet.

He felt himself breaking through an invisible chasm.

It seemed that with just a thought.

That "Pure Land Domain" could be projected and spread into the real world!

In the past, Gu Shen's greatest weapon was forced hypnosis.

Pulling others into his "Pure Land"!

Once inside the Pure Land, he would be the master in that domain!

But if he couldn't pull them into the Pure Land... Gu Shen would become passive, and many of his powers could not be fully utilized.

But now it was different.

The "Pure Land" could be projected into the real world, which meant that even if Gu Shen encountered an enemy with extremely powerful mental strength who could not be easily hypnotized, he would still have a fighting chance!

"Breaking through the third realm... is this what it feels like?"

Gu Shen gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

He had grown accustomed to closing off his six senses and severing perception. Now that his spiritual sea was full again, and the lost power had returned several times over... he felt his whole body become light.

The Fighting Golden Circlet had confined him for too long.

Thousands of impacts, thousands of failures.

In the desperate battle with Meng Xiao, Gu Shen had no choice but to exhaust all his mental power, burning his boats.

He didn't even think about "breaking through."

But... some things are just like that.

Intentionally planting flowers, they don't bloom; unintentionally inserting a willow, it thrives.

After the spiritual sea was completely exhausted, the newly generated power became even stronger and more resilient.

So-called no destruction, no construction.

That's how it was.

...

...

"You... broke through the third realm?"

The statue fell, and the dust dissipated.

Mu Wanqiu looked at Gu Shen, whose brow was burning with a fiery light, with a complex expression.

For a moment, she couldn't tell.

Whether Gu Shen had been deliberately hiding his strength, or had genuinely reached the end of his rope.

"Yes."

Gu Shen saw through her thoughts at a glance and explained in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I wasn't acting before. In the battle with Meng Xiao, I did exhaust all my mental power..."

"It's just that before arriving in the Northern Continent, I started to break through for the third time... This is an unprecedented challenge. The Bai family's expert helped me imprison all my spirit, which was the only way to shatter the bottleneck."

Mu Wanqiu became even more silent after hearing this.

So... Gu Shen was able to fight back and forth with Meng Xiao's team while suppressing his strength?

She suddenly remembered the scene of her first meeting with Gu Shen.

It was the simulated duel in the mental cabin. Obviously, from that time on, Gu Shen had already restrained all his spirit... It's just that she didn't notice it, she just felt that this Dongzhou S-rank was weaker than she imagined.

The pre-mission meeting before the restart.

Many people believed that Gu Shen was unworthy of his reputation, unqualified to participate in the mission, and even less deserving of becoming a "privileged person."

But in reality, those who looked down on Gu Shen were the real clowns.

A spiritual transcendental, suppressing his greatest trump card, was able to fight back and forth with the Northern Continent geniuses.

This was the real monstrous figure.

"Could it be that the Gusburg sortie mission before..."

Mu Wanqiu thought of something else and hesitated to speak.

"I have to have some means." Gu Shen said helplessly, took out the Ghost Mask, and said softly, "This sealed item can help me release part of my spiritual power..."

So that's how it was.

Mu Wanqiu glanced at the Ghost Mask, this thing was quite compatible with her, and Judge was obviously very interested.

She always felt that Gu Shen was a "fated person" to her.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Gu Shen put away the black gemstone and said seriously, "The Traveler is already impacting the gate, we need to leave quickly."

Mu Wanqiu nodded solemnly.

The two crossed the broken statue and arrived at the giant wall again.

The main hall was filled with collapsing sounds. The Traveler had already destroyed the Pluto Hall. All directions were filled with the wails of the Holy Arbiters. These undead flew in the air, and skeletons crashed into the wall gate, shattering themselves to pieces. Then, the various parts of their bodies reassembled with a crackling sound, repeating this process.

A riot of demons.

Judge impatiently took action, swatting away all the Holy Arbiters who crashed in front of him.

Mu Wanqiu put her hands on the rock wall, and after exerting force, shook her head, "This rock wall has changed..."

Previously, pushing it open only required brute force.

But after the Traveler revived.

The weight of this rock wall suddenly increased several times, dozens of times, out of thin air!

Obviously, the statue was detached from the rock wall, so this giant wall should have become lighter...

"The 'Traveler' is good at using ancient texts. They must have been prepared long ago. Once they impact the gate and activate the statue, they will not allow anyone in the Pluto Hall to escape..."

The more tightly this giant wall was sealed.

The more Gu Shen could be sure that the real exit was behind the giant wall!

He took a light breath and pressed one hand on the giant wall, feeling its immovable weight.

Mu Wanqiu's great strength was unmatched among the third order.

Judge's power, speed, and agility could compete with the top-level powerhouses as long as it involved close combat!

She couldn't push it open.

Then... no third-order transcendental could push it open.

But what about the fourth order?

"Chī!"

A wisp of fiery light burned on Gu Shen's brow.

After cultivating for so long, the scale of Gu Shen's fiery light had always been weak.

But after the third transcendence, his brow flame had undergone a qualitative change. Now, it was burning fiercely, already like a fist!

Willpower collided with the spiritual sea.

The iron dome of the Pure Land World rumbled.

...

...

Pure Land.

Tie Wu and Hong Zhong were sitting in the shade of a tree, enjoying the cool.

Most of the time, they were working hard.

But... there were always times to rest.

"Hey, have you rested enough?"

Tie Wu leaned against a large tree and kicked the guy sitting in front of him, "Dumb, it's time to work."

Hong Zhong grinned.

Although the Protection of the Goddess of Fate had saved his life, it had not saved his wisdom.

After arriving in the Pure Land with a wisp of soul, he became like this, unable to speak.

Every day he wielded a shovel with Tie Wu, and the two became more and more familiar. Tie Wu stopped calling him by his full name and simply called him Dumb.

Hong Zhong was not angry about this.

He picked up his shovel, jumped into the big pit, and sweated like rain.

A burst of vibration came from the top of the sky. It looked like it was going to rain?

Tie Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to the Divine Scroll... I can take a nap..."

He closed his eyes and leaned back.

The next moment, he sat down on empty air!

Tie Wu looked bewildered, looking at the empty "Susu Xuan Tree" behind him.

Gone?

Such a big tree, gone without a word?!

...

...

In the gray space of the Ruler of Truth.

Countless silhouettes scattered and flickered.

The devil, sitting with his legs crossed on the throne, looked down at the events happening in the outside world.

A trace of gloom suddenly flashed across his gray face.

A ray of fiery light tore through the top of the Ruler of Truth.

It landed without warning, covering the location of the throne!

This scene happened too quickly, but the devil's reaction was even faster. He snorted coldly, snapped his fingers, and a thick fog suddenly surged out like a torrent, pushing the towering throne forward a short distance.

This distance was neither too much nor too little.

Just enough to allow the throne to escape the hot area shrouded in light.

The true target of that fiery light was not the devil, but the giant tree behind him.

It was the Susu Xuan Tree reflected from Gu Shen's spiritual world.

The spiritual message conveyed by the falling fiery light was very simple.

This is my "thing."

The devil looked at the top of the sky expressionlessly and said quietly, "Why bother distinguishing between yours and mine? If you want it, just take it."

...

...

After closing his eyes, Gu Shen suddenly opened them.

He tried to use his own "fourth-order" ability for the first time... After a violent impact, a vast and terrifying domain power was slowly projected from his spiritual sea!

"Boom~~~"

Pure Land, descends!

A blurred shadow of a tree appeared behind Gu Shen!

This was the "Susu Xuan Tree" that actually grew in the Pure Land, the tree of the origin of all things!

Mu Wanqiu, who was beside him, subconsciously clenched her long knife as she watched this scene.

She had seen many fourth-order transcendents, but had never seen such a scene... A transcedent with a cultivation of the seventh layer of the transcendent, breaking through the third realm, directly projected his own spiritual domain into the real world!

"What exactly is that giant tree..."

The reflection of the Pure Land World was growing wildly in the real world. The giant tree took root behind Gu Shen and spread rapidly. In just a few seconds, it was as tall as the hundred-meter-high giant wall—

Gu Shen slowly exhaled a breath.

Standing in his own domain, he lightly stretched out his palm and pressed it against the black rock giant wall.

Mu Wanqiu held her breath. Seeing this posture, was Gu Shen going to imitate her previous actions? Using brute force to push the rock wall over, revealing the corridor hidden behind it.

But the next moment, she knew that she was wrong.

"Kacha!"

The moment Gu Shen's palm gently rested on the wall, a crisp shattering sound erupted from his palm.

The originally smooth giant wall was instantly covered with millions of tiny spider webs.

The next moment.

Gu Shen uttered a word.

"Open!"

With a press of his palm, the giant wall shattered! Smoke and dust rolled!

Rolling heat and smoke washed over Mu Wanqiu's face, and she fell into silence as she looked at the dark and deep corridor.

Was this... Gu Shen's fourth-order domain?

A door that couldn't be pushed open.

Just shatter it.
