Chapter 230: Chapter 209: Refining the Object-searching Gu, the Gu insect that can search all treasures in the world_2
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, it was wriggling around, free and unfettered.
Whoosh!
The next instant, it flickered and found itself right beside Zhou Sui.
It went straight into his right hand, seeming to integrate into one of his fingers.
Splash—
Immediately afterwards, a flood of information rushed into the depths of Zhou Sui’s Sea of Consciousness.
“The Object-searching Gu is a strange creature born of heaven and earth. It has the ability to locate all living beings and treasures in the world. As long as you make a wish to it, it will definitely find the item you are looking for.
Description: Treat it well, and it will be your best assistant, helping you find anything in the world. As long as the item exists, it will be able to find it.”
In an instant, Zhou Sui had a clear understanding of this Gu’s abilities. As long as he used this Gu’s abilities, it could help him find anything.
However, this ability does have its limitations. A first stage Object-searching Gu can only hunt for an item once a month.
If it reaches the second stage, it can search for items twice a month, and the search range also increases.
The higher the level, the wider and more valuable the range of items that the Object-searching Gu can locate.
It doesn’t have any other special abilities; it can only help its host find what they want.
But even this single ability is enough to make countless cultivators ecstatic.
“Great, with this Object-searching Gu, I can find any treasure I want.”
“Even Core Formation spiritual items, or even Nascent Soul spiritual items, can definitely be found.”
Zhou Sui clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming.
No one understood better than him how terrifying this power was.
Having come to this conclusion, Zhou Sui decided to use his Object-searching Gu to find the main ingredient for the Spring Autumn Gu.
If he could find the main ingredient for the Spring Autumn Gu, he could attain eternal youth. You can only imagine the benefits this would have.
Splash—
In an instant, Zhou Sui channeled his Mana into the Object-searching Gu. An inexplicable, mysterious power emanated from it, like invisible ripples, delicately revealing the causal links of the world.
“What? Nothing at all?!”
A moment later, Zhou Sui’s eyes widened in disbelief. He didn’t get any useful information from the Object-searching Gu, and found that its body had become shriveled, as if severely weakened.
Obviously, the Object-searching Gu had exerted its full strength, but still came up empty-handed.
“It seems that the items searched for cannot exceed the Object-searching Gu’s level.”
“Nor can they exceed the Object-searching Gu’s search range.”
“Otherwise, even with the power of the Object-searching Gu, no useful information can be obtained.”
“Of course, most importantly, the newly born Object-searching Gu only has a first stage existence.”
“In this case, naturally, it cannot find too many precious treasures.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin. He got a lot of information from the Object-searching Gu. At this moment, he also knew the limits of the Object-searching Gu’s abilities. It’s not really invincible.
However, once the Object-searching Gu level is upgraded, it will definitely find more treasures.
Of course, it still cannot exceed the ability range of the Object-searching Gu.
Whoosh!
With that in mind, he immediately put away the Object-searching Gu.
After all, the Object-searching Gu is currently at first stage and can only be used once a month.
It’s best to keep it for now, and test it next month.
Several days later.
A large group of flying boats headed towards the direction of the Wuji Alliance.
After leaving Immortal Mist Island, everything was peaceful.
Many things got back on track.
Although they occasionally encountered second-stage magical beasts, and even third-stage ones, in front of merchants like Leng Yuexi, they were nothing, instantly obliterated, becoming materials for the cultivators.
Zhou Sui also stayed on the flying boat, cultivating in peace.
At present, he was delving into the mysteries of formations.
After all, in the flying boat, he can’t practice sword techniques, skills, and the likes, and can’t perform alchemy.
So, he could only study formations.
Fortunately, his formation realm had reached the third stage, low grade, and on Immortal Mist Island, he was already considered a formation master.
Of course, the Array Heart Gu had also been taken back and kept on his person.
As for the Mountain Protection Array of the Immortal Mist Sect that can’t be moved, it could only be left in the Immortal Mist Mountain Range.
“The mystery of the third stage formation lies in connecting with the earth’s veins to form a formation realm.”
“Once a formation field is established, it can isolate the void, and no cultivator trapped within the array can escape.”
“Of course, if one holds the ability to teleport, they can easily slip away from the shackles of a third-class formation.”
“After the formation field is set up, it can harness the power of a third-order spirit vein, unleashing infinite power.”
“Even if a Golden Core Master steps in, they are almost sure to meet their end. Such is the power of a third-stage formation.”
Zhou Sui was seated cross-legged on the ground, carefully contemplating the mystics of the third-class formation.
Previously, he incorporated the power of the Array Heart Gu, manipulating a Third Class, High Grade Array; the Mist Yin-Yang Formation, freely and fearlessly. He merged himself with the array, which greatly advanced his understanding of third-class formations.
There were faint signs of him advancing towards the realm of third-stage, middle-grade.
It’s safe to say that his understanding of array formations is progressing faster than his other cultivation skills.
After all, the cultivation of array formations solely depends on one’s enlightening insight.
He leverages the power of the Bookworm and the Array Heart Gu, rapidly penetrating through the mysteries underlying various formation arrays.
His progress was indeed swift.
“The fourth-stage formation, it is multiple times more formidable than the third-stage one, boasting a formidable prowess on par with that of a Nascent Soul.”
“The key feature separating the fourth-stage formation from the third is formation overlay.”
“Third-stage and lower formations fundamentally cannot entail overlay – there are clearcut boundaries between them.”
“An illusion array is an illusion array, an offensive array is an offensive array, a defensive array is a defensive array – everything is clear at a glance.”
“But a fourth-stage formation allows the blending of different arrays.”
“Merging arrays is anything but simple. If their characteristics clash, the power of the formation would conflict and result in an explosion, which would lead to the array’s collapse.”
“However, if the blending is successful, the power can heighten by more than ten times. It’s not as simple as one plus one, instead it exhibits geometrical progression.”
Zhou Sui marvelled in awe. Upon studying the knowledge of fourth-stage formations, he instantly felt his head spinning.
Because the complexity of the fourth-stage formation array is more than ten times that of the third-stage one.
Setting up a single formation is already an immensely difficult task.
Not to mention having two formations at the same time, allowing their integration, and perfectly exhibiting their distinct powers.
Just that could turn an Array Master bald from stress.
Now he is only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he is starting to study fourth-stage formations.
No doubt, it’s akin to a primary school student trying to grasp university knowledge – it’s beyond the syllabus.
“Forget it, forget it, I don’t need to think too much.”
“Let’s master the third-stage formation first. The fourth-stage formation is something beyond my reach for now.”
“If I can master a third-stage formation and find a third-stage spirit vein, then I’ll be invincible in the Golden Core stage.”
“Considering just this power, it should be enough to establish myself in the Canglan Sea.”
Zhou Sui took a deep breath to calm himself.
“What are you doing, dear? Why aren’t you coming in to cultivate?”
Just then, a soft and sweet voice echoed from outside.
The voice belonged to Shen Biqian, the Golden Core cultivator. These days she often nagged Zhou Sui to cultivate, to the extent of losing sleep.
“Yes, stop fretting over that formation. Come and cultivate with us.”
“Cultivation is the most crucial thing. Formation and such should only be studied in passing, there’s no need to get obsessed.”
“Exactly, exactly. Do you value these formations more than us?”
A few beautiful wives and concubines giggled enchantingly.
What?!
On hearing this, Zhou Sui jolted and snapped out of the intense cultivation learning state.
It couldn’t be helped, his Dao companions were too demanding. Every day they wanted to cultivate intensely with him, deeply indulging in the study of the Dao.
No wonder many cultivators claim that without women in their hearts, their Dao will naturally elevate.
They can only say that women seriously get in the way of cultivation time.
Of course, Zhou Sui wasn’t perturbed – what’s wasted is wasted.
He had a long lifespan anyway.
Just at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had a lifespan of more than a thousand years, comparable to a millennium-old turtle.
No matter how he cultivated, he was destined to advance to the Golden Core stage.
Plus, cultivating intensively with his wives and concubines was faster than doing it alone.
It was a win-win situation.
Thinking this far, without hesitation, Zhou Sui entered the bedroom, and began his deep cultivation with his Dao companions in unison.
As for formation arrays, he decided to study them some other time..
