BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 75: Nine-Star Dou Emperor Peak!

On the mist-covered mountain peak, at the edge of a cliff, the space undulated incessantly. Threads of somewhat mottled natural energy surged rapidly, then swept overwhelmingly into the body of the middle-aged man seated at the edge of the mountain.

Facing this endless infusion, his body was like a bottomless pit, allowing the energy to pour in without any sign of overflowing.

Since taking the Emperor Supreme Pill, Gu He had maintained this state for nearly three days.

During these three days, his sturdy figure remained motionless like a rock. On the mountain peak, only the energy vortex continuously rotating above his head emitted a low humming sound.

Inside Gu He's body, the immense medicinal power of the Emperor Supreme Pill, after being refined by his Divine Fire Technique, transformed into surging Dou Qi, flowing through his meridians like tidal waves.

Moreover, there was a continuous influx of natural energy, which was ultimately refined by his Divine Fire Technique into pure Dou Qi, integrating into this massive force.

Although the quantity of this natural energy was large, after multiple refinements, the remaining pure Dou Qi available for Gu He to absorb was not substantial.

However, it was better than nothing. Accumulating over time, it reached a terrifying level.

For most cultivators, their internal Dou Qi also accumulated in this way. Relying on medicinal pills to enhance strength was just a shortcut and couldn't be abused, as it might lead to fluctuations in the internal Dou Qi.

However, Gu He had no such concerns.

The Divine Fire Technique recorded in the Divine Fire Scripture could refine the body while also tempering the internal Dou Qi.

After the tempering by his Divine Fire Technique, even the originally unstable Dou Qi became extremely pure.

This round of cultivation by Gu He lasted quite a long time. The medicinal power of the Emperor Supreme Pill had been completely refined a day ago, but he didn't stop immediately; instead, he chose to continue practicing.

Because he faintly felt that relying solely on the medicinal power of the Emperor Supreme Pill might not bring him much improvement in cultivation.

His actions always pursued perfection. This was an opportunity, and he naturally wanted to seize it to maximize his strength.

With this mindset, almost four days passed. In these seven days, Gu He had devoted almost all of his attention to absorbing the natural energy.

With the continuous absorption, the Dou Qi flowing through his meridians gradually became vigorous and mighty. Each rotation brought an almost endless force to his body. This feeling of being filled with power made him have the urge to roar at the sky.

Of course, he suppressed this urge. He was clear that if he really roared, this painstaking cultivation would go in vain.

Time passed swiftly during the cultivation. On the mountain peak, tranquility persisted as usual.

Occasionally, Little Gold beside him would suddenly open its mouth, sending out a golden sword qi toward a demonic beast not far from the mountain peak. The terrifying sword qi cut through the air, directly killing the demonic beast that approached within a hundred meters of the mountain peak.

During this time, this mountain peak had almost become a restricted area in the mountain range. Those demonic beasts that had suffered losses became much more obedient. When passing through this area, they would choose to detour from a distance. This made Gu He's cultivation proceed even more smoothly.

Gu He's cultivation, on the morning of the eighth day, finally showed some movement. The energy vortex above his head, after trembling slightly for a few times, gradually dissipated. The spatial fluctuations around him also gradually returned to calm.

Not long after the disappearance of the energy vortex, Gu He's eyelids trembled lightly. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

In his pitch-black eyes, there was nothing extraordinary, plain as if he had just woken up. There was no fluctuation at all. The imprints of the cultivation seal in his hand dissipated gently. Gu He slowly raised his head, his palm spreading open. With a thought, the surging Dou Qi flowing through his meridians rushed out like a galloping horse, finally merging into Gu He's body after breaking free from the meridians.

As the surging Dou Qi integrated into every part of his body, a sharp glint gradually appeared in Gu He's pitch-black eyes. It became increasingly profound, and his momentum also soared at this moment, rapidly breaking through the eight-star level and stepping into the nine-star level!

The momentum did not stop after breaking through to the nine-star level. It continued to rise frantically. The clothes on Gu He's body, at this moment, fluttered without wind. The huge stone where he sat cross-legged even cracked with a crisp sound. The surrounding mist, as if being dispersed by invisible hands, dissipated.

The momentum rose rapidly, and after a while, it finally reached the late stage of the nine-star level.

At this point, an invisible membrane quietly appeared, suppressing the rising momentum.

Feeling the faint sense of

obstruction, Gu He clenched his fists suddenly. Instead of immediately breaking through, he stood up abruptly and let out a long and melodious roar toward the sky!

The clear cry, like the call of a crane, instantly penetrated the clouds and echoed through the entire mountain range, not calming down for a long time.

The roar was extremely long, as if a breath had been held to the extreme. Gu He's face also became somewhat flushed because of this, and the blue veins on his face pulsed like earthworms, giving him a somewhat fierce feeling.

"Break for me!"

Double fists clenched, the giant stone beneath Gu He's feet exploded with a loud roar. Shattered stones flew in all directions, accompanied by a stern shout from Gu He.

"Crack!"

As if an invisible membrane in the dark had ruptured, the momentum that had ceased to rise in Gu He surged again, breaking through the late stage of the nine-star level and finally stopping at the peak of the nine stars!

The momentum abruptly halted upon reaching the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor. Gu He, as if in exhaustion, slumped down, palms on the ground, his face turning red as he continued to pant heavily.

Despite his limbs feeling weak, there was an undisguised joy in Gu He's eyes.

He knew that, under the influence of the Emperor Supreme Pill and his own determination, he had successfully broken through to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor!

In other words, Gu He was now a Nine-Star Dou Emperor, just one step away from the level of Dou Zong!

Feeling the immensely powerful force within his body, a hint of excitement flashed in Gu He's eyes.

The strength of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor's peak was enough to make him stride proudly through the Gamma Empire.

At this moment, Gu He finally felt a trace of self-preserving power.

Subsequently, he thought of something and sat down slowly.

With a thought, his Divine Fire Technique began to envelop Gu He's entire body.

Gu He operated the Divine Fire Body Refining Technique, refining his physical body while simultaneously tempering the somewhat unstable Dou Qi caused by ingesting the Emperor Supreme Pill.
