Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 531 - 502: Three Calamities Gu
The wave of Azure Sea Cold Qi began to dissipate again, and the Celestial Domain above returned to an eerie calm.
On the Spirit-Catching Ship of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, after Yu Sheng and others returned, the Tier Five Taiyi who had ambushed Wang Wu and was severely injured also finally awoke. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
For a moment, he seemed somewhat bewildered, with many gaps in his memory.
"Zhao Feng, do you remember what happened before?"
Yu Sheng asked in a deep voice, his gaze heavy.
"I—I—we are on the Spirit-Catching Ship? Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving my life!"
Hearing this, the grave look in Yu Sheng’s eyes finally relaxed a bit, it seemed the problem wasn’t too severe.
"Do you know the specific details of the one who injured you this time, like what they did to you?"
"Huh? The one who injured me? Senior Brother, we—I wasn’t charged by a Great Fire Spirit Guard?"
Zhao Feng spoke in confusion.
At this moment, Yu Sheng’s expression suddenly became exceedingly unpleasant.
Because in their mutual memories, the scene where his junior brother was charged by a Great Fire Spirit Guard happened 35,000 years ago.
At that time, he was Taiyi Third Tier, and Zhao Feng was Taiyi First Tier, just qualified to board the Spirit-Catching Ship.
How could this be? His Divine Soul was so severely damaged!
Damn it!
The situation was more serious than he had thought!
"Quick! Quickly send him to the Soul Suppressing Tower! Since the loss of his Divine Soul is so severe, then the hidden wounds in the Spirit Pill are likely even more severe!"
After giving instructions, Yu Sheng watched Zhao Feng being taken away, then sighed deeply, knowing that this matter was not going to end well.
He originally just wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but the other party had been so ruthless!
He knew Zhao Feng already had hidden wounds, but it shouldn’t have been to the point where a dozen Cold-Crying Birds’ charge would cause such a result.
There must be some extremely sinister method hidden within.
So, who exactly was on the other side?
Lu Tong?
A shadow crossed Yu Sheng’s mind; two thousand years ago, at the Outer Heaven Trial Ground, he faced Lu Tong and was directly defeated in ten rounds. It was the greatest humiliation of his life!
But before he had a chance to avenge this disgrace, he heard the news that Lu Tong had been executed.
Great!
But besides Lu Tong, who else in the Hidden Origin Association’s Frost Domain had such strength?
At this thought, Yu Sheng immediately rushed to a cave dwelling on the Spirit-Catching Ship, and with a respectful expression, said, "Junior Martial Uncle Qin, I have something to consult you about. My junior brother Zhao Feng was severely injured by the other side, and I want to demand an explanation from the Hidden Origin Association in the name of the Immortal Alliance!"
After a long time, a hoarse voice came out from within the cave dwelling!
"Foolish things inferior in skills! If you can’t win playing dirty tricks, you want to drag the Immortal Alliance into war? Are you all tired of living? How far do you want to escalate this matter? Do you want to make it a laughingstock for the Nine Alliances, Three Conferences, and Two Sects?"
"Forgot the Outer Heaven Alliance Treaty from 160,000 years ago?"
"Scram! Either find a way to regain your face yourself or swallow your anger! Act as if nothing happened!"
Yu Sheng was scolded harshly, his face alternating between green and white, but he dared not retaliate. After leaving, he hesitated for a long time, finally gritting his teeth, seemingly making a certain decision.

At the same time, Wang Wu was rapidly analyzing everything about the Gu Spirit Pill. Now, he could possess up to thirty-six strands of Divine Thought, so even without the help of the Four Clowns, his deduction and analytical abilities were still terrifyingly strong.
Especially with the Celestial Grade Divine Technique, Spirit Essence Perception, although the perception process lasted only an instant, the content it revealed was extensive enough for thorough reflection later.
So, in just a few days, Wang Wu already had a quite sufficient and deep understanding of the Creation Gu Spirit Pill.
"The Gu Spirit Pill and its cultivation system still cannot escape the influence of Yin and Yang Qi. In this regard, it is not much different from other cultivation systems."
"If there is a difference, it’s just a small tributary of the great river, diverging in other directions in the middle, but eventually joining the main stream, so Gu Immortals can also use the realms of Earth Immortal, Taiyi, and Daluo to prove the Dao."
"But the most noteworthy and distinct difference is that while other cultivation systems are relatively peaceful, the cultivation system of the Gu Spirit Pill is extremely domineering. In summary, it involves seizing innate vitality and post-acquired creation for oneself, similar to the training of resistance, perfecting one’s own Dao through proactive stimulation."
"And this seems to be referenced, improved from the Dao of the Demon Race, and then perfected. In any case, the Immortal who created the Gu Spirit Pill is truly exceptional."
Wang Wu was full of admiration.
Because the resistance honing journey of the Demon Race is quite similar to the Human Race’s Gu Spirit Pill system of cultivation.
For instance, his path relied on honing resistance, enduring countless hardships, shedding a lot of blood, suffering numerous ordeals. Various toxin resistances and resistance to the Three Calamities would make ordinary people cry out against abuse from the master.
But in reality, his journey of honing resistance is still just a small matter compared to the cultivation system of the Gu Spirit Pill or the Gu Immortals.
Because the Demon Race naturally has the innate advantage of tough skin and strong defense against various negative statuses, something the Human Race cannot emulate.
So, for the Human Race to follow the path of the Gu Spirit Pill, the price would be especially harsh.
The most crucial part is learning from the Demon Race to refine and purify their own bloodline purity.
The bloodline inheritance of the Demon Race is very strong, whereas that of the Human Race is weak. How to purify? Simple, first destroy your own nine clans, tracing back eighteen generations of ancestors, gathering all bloodlines in one body, and filling in all possible genetic chains, thus being able to refine a special Blood Gu similar to the Demon Race’s Heart of the Earth.
This point is very important.
If you can’t do it, you can’t become a Gu Immortal.
Then, being so ruthless to your own lineage, there’s no need to think about how others would end up if they encounter it.
So Wang Wu was very curious, the fact that the Gu Spirit Pill System wasn’t universally condemned in the Cultivation Realm is indeed a miracle.
Of course, it might have been condemned by everyone already, but it’s too powerful, so in the end, they had no choice but to grudgingly accept it, only able to complain quietly...
Because, apart from being too cruel to oneself and others, this Gu Spirit Pill is extremely efficient and explosive.
It might even lead to the cultivation of the Three Calamities Gu.
Yes, the Three Calamities Gu, refining all three calamities into Immortal Gu, this is indeed the direction Gu Immortals are striving towards.
Like that fellow he severely injured before, his internal wound was suspected to be left during the cultivation of the Three Calamities Gu. Which normal Taiyi would dare to do such a thing to their spirit pills?
Only a Gu Immortal would go so far, too harsh on themselves.
"It seems I also need to work hard to get the Three Calamities fully collected in the future, otherwise when encountering these Gu Immortals, I might be in trouble."
Wang Wu felt somewhat uneasy, these people were too ruthless.
"However, aside from the ultimate weapon like the Three Calamities Gu, the Gu Spirit Pills of Gu Immortals are inherently filled with hostility, so if targeted, the consequences can be dire."
"Like the Spring Silkworm Gu, which specifically counters those with a strong divine soul, especially those with talent in Microscopic Perception. Once infected, it spreads like a zombie virus, impossible to defend against unless a physical barrier is put in place, otherwise, it’s hard to resolve."
"Then there’s the Great Cold Gu and Great Heat Gu, with cores being the Cold-Crying Bird and the Fire Spirit Guard, specifically countering conventional Divine Techniques. Actually, rather than countering, it pulls you into a familiar arena for them, then pounds you thoroughly, which is not that big of a deal."
"But the Dragon and Snake Gu, and the Liger Gu, are very clever, their approach is akin to using the enemy’s tactics against them in a righteous manner..."
Wang Wu wanted to laugh, but couldn’t.
Because once a Gu Immortal’s Dragon and Snake Gu Spirit Pill operates, they can genuinely transform into a giant dragon, possessing the power of a giant dragon, meaning they can truly disguise as a dragon...
Similarly, once the Liger Gu Spirit Pill operates, they can transform into a liger.
He even had no doubt that if he were captured, he would certainly be refined into a Xiong Xiong Gu Spirit Pill by a Gu Immortal.
At this moment, he finally felt the pressure, that Yu Sheng is presumably not easy to deal with...
While thinking this, Wang Wu suddenly felt a movement in his heart, walked out of the cabin, and saw a beam of golden light descending straight from above, clearly utilizing the irradiation of Yin and Yang Qi, arriving through the Nine Heavens Passage.
Without needing Wang Wu’s instructions, those Cricket Dragons had already automatically opened the Spirit-Catching Ship Immortal Array, welcoming the celestial envoy’s arrival.
In an instant, as the golden light dissipated, an elder’s apparition appeared. Holding a scroll, he glanced at Wang Wu and commanded, "I am the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance, here to inquire about the issue of the private duel initiated by Fifth-Grade Elder Yu Sheng towards you, please answer truthfully."
What?
This Yu Sheng wants to make a big deal out of this, afraid that the entire Cultivation Realm wouldn’t know, right?
Wang Wu felt something was amiss.
But he also couldn’t figure out what Yu Sheng intended to do, because as long as he stayed inside the Spirit-Catching Ship for five years without disembarking, Yu Sheng wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
At this time, the elder continued asking.
"Firstly, is your name Wang Wu?"
"Yes!"
"Secondly, are you the Lord of the Frost Domain of the Hidden Origin Association?"
"Yes!"
"Thirdly, do you agree to accept this private duel, and have you been informed of all the rules?"
"Yes!"
"Fourthly, are you being coerced? Do you need the intervention of the Mountain and Sea Immortal Alliance and the Hidden Origin Association to investigate the matter thoroughly?"
Huh?
Wang Wu was somewhat surprised, he glanced at the elder, but he was expressionless, so what is Yu Sheng trying to do?
Wait a minute, could it be?
He understood, that’s how it was.
Immediately, he shook his head.
"No!"
"Good, Wang Wu, please place this Creation True Body Immortal Talisman on your forehead for verification."
"Sure!"
Wang Wu calmly took it, he’d seen this procedure many times in the travelogues of Lu Tong and the others, in fact, Lu Tong and the other four had passively or actively participated in many private duels in the past, as it was indeed the best way to gain fame.
Now, Yu Sheng was doing the same thing.
In the blink of an eye, the True Body Immortal Talisman verified Wang Wu’s true body, although he didn’t know how it assessed his abilities, but after it was retrieved by the elder, the document boldly marked his strength as Taiyi Third Tier.
Alright, whatever.
The elder then asked, "Wang Wu, now that Yu Sheng is applying to duel with you in the Celestial Heaven Trial Hall, do you agree?"
