Chapter 39: Four-Star Dou Emperor

In the alchemy room, Gu He closed the room's door and set up a barrier around the alchemy room before sitting down in the middle of the room.

Then, Gu He closed his eyes, and his consciousness slowly sank into the system space. After that, Gu He silently said, "System, begin fusing thirteen years of cultivation!"

As his words fell, the colorless light sphere suspended in the void within the system space instantly turned into a brilliant light and shot into Gu He's body.

Bang!

With the radiant light entering his body, in the next moment, Gu He felt a muffled sound within him, followed by an immensely powerful energy surging out.

This energy was extremely domineering, rushing out from within him like a tornado, sweeping through Gu He's limbs and bones. A piercing pain spread within his body, and Gu He's face turned pale in an instant.

Then, following the method he used last time, as the energy entered his body, purple flames began to ripple within him. Compared to the energy, the purple flames were even more formidable.

The instant they touched, the flames directly dissipated the energy. Afterward, Gu He controlled these scattered energies, guiding them into his dantian.

As more and more energy entered his dantian, the aura emanating from Gu He's body became increasingly profound. After a moment, the density of the battle qi in his dantian was several times stronger than before he began practicing just now.

In just a short moment, it was equivalent to the effort of nearly half a year of intense cultivation. This sensation left Gu He immersed in it. Now, he was incredibly skilled in assimilating energy.

Coupled with the purity of this energy, he didn't need much time to refine it. His task was to scatter this energy, then smoothly guide it into his dantian.

"I wonder to what extent my cultivation will skyrocket after absorbing all of this energy?"

"However, while this rapid advancement in cultivation is impressive, it can lead to the dispersion of dou qi within the body and an imbalance in the foundation. Consolidating this progress will require a considerable amount of time in the future."

Amidst the sound of cracking, the barrier that enveloped the alchemy room shattered with a resounding crash. In the next moment, a more solid barrier reappeared outside the pill refining chamber.

The breakthrough concluded, yet Gu He had no intention of leaving the alchemy room. He intended to seize this opportunity to condense his own essence Flame.

Rapidly recalling the contents of the Divine Flames Scripture in his mind, a look of awe unconsciously crossed Gu He's face. "The prerequisite for cultivating the Divine Flames Scripture is actually to successfully control a kind of Heavenly Flame. Truly deserving of being an advanced Heavenly Rank technique; this cultivation threshold is sufficient to deter most people."

"Fortunately, I currently possess a Heavenly Flame." "However, the cultivation method of this Divine Flames Scripture seems quite self-destructive.

The first step is to actually introduce the controlled Heavenly Flame into the body, integrating it into one's flesh, bones, and even soul. It must achieve complete fusion, rather than merely controlling the Heavenly Flame within the body."

This approach made Gu He think of the original work, where Queen Medusa evolved using the method of assimilating with the Green Lotus Core Flame. However, despite the similarity, the difference was that the Heavenly Flame Gu He was cultivating was already under his control.

Even in self-destruction, it was within manageable limits, unlike Queen Medusa, who was entirely relying on luck.

"It seems that in order to condense the innate Heavenly Flame, I will have to endure some torment." A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Gu He's mouth. He slowly closed his eyes, once again reviewing the contents of the Divine Flames Scripture in his mind.

After a moment, Gu He adjusted himself to his optimal state. He took a gentle breath, preparing to start practicing the Divine Flames Scripture. He decided to use the Nine Nether Flame to condense his innate Heavenly Flame. After all, the only unique flame he currently controlled was the Nine Nether Flame.

With his eyes half-closed, Gu He casually sat in the pill refining chamber. With a thought, the purple flames began to ripple through his limbs and bones.

Directly following the cultivation path outlined in the Divine Flames Scripture, Gu He manipulated the purple flames. The surrounding dou qi gathered and collided with his flesh and bones. Strands of the purple flames even penetrated into his soul.

In an instant, Gu He's body was enveloped in purple flames. "Arghhhhhh!"

An excruciating pain surged through Gu He's body, spreading to every bone, every bit of flesh, and even his soul...
