Gu Daoist Master Chapter 19

During the refining process, the Gu abruptly fought back!

The Wine Gu, which possessed Hua Jiu monk's firm willpower was intruding his vain aperture, casually fought back with Fang Yuan.

This beam of formidable intent was heading toward the bottom of his Bronze Primeval Sea, fiercely attacking him.

And the Bronze Primeval Sea fluctuated frantically, with waves after waves continually arising. Fang Yuan urged his intent, wanting to confront the great godlike Primeval Essence of the Gu, creating a surging wave soaring to the sky, outrageously welcoming the Wine Gu's intent.

Just when both were about to come in contact at the center of his vain aperture, they bestially impacted with each other, a dull Gu suddenly appeared in the middle of the two forces, right in the empty space of his vain aperture.

It was a cicada.

The cicada was not too big. If the Moonlight Gu was a crescent-moon-shaped crystal blue color shining Gu, then this cicada was like a delicate handicraft made from the hand of an artisan master out of palm wood and tree leaves.

Its head and body were light brown, coated with growth ring patterns as if it was a witness of time.

A pair of big wings on his back was half transparent, looked like two overlapping tree leaves. Each of the wings also had veined patterns that were almost identical. These veined patterns were similar to that venation of a natural leaf. The center was a thick stem while the other veins were spread out to both sides from the stem.

The Spring and Autumn Cicada!

It was disturbed.

It looked like a giant beast which normally was deep asleep inside a cave. However, as he was awakened, only to find his territory was being intruded.

Who dare to act atrociously in my territory!

As if his dignity was being offended, the Spring and Autumn Cicada was enraged, releasing distinctive breath.

The breath was vague yet formidable, like a torrential Milky Way surging ahead wanted to wash away ten thousand miles of mountains, covering firmament and great deserts with its vast and mighty waves!

Compared to this breath, the Wine Gu's intent was like an ant encountering an elephant!

This breath expanded to sweep over the whole surroundings, like a terrifying tsunami being controlled by an invisible force. The Wine Gu's intent which wanted to encroach, was directly being swallowed by this tsunami, without having any ability to avoid it.

Fang Yuan's chest felt uncomfortable.

The beam of Bronze Primeval Essence that he had urged impacted this breath, which was like a giant wave striking the Tianshan mountain. The Primeval Essense he had congealed immediately crashed down then shattered like rain; all was spilled to the Primeval Sea in the middle.

Bang!

Waves after waves arose on the Primeval Sea' surface. It was as if a heavy rain had increased the fluctuation level.

After several breaths, the breath of the Spring and Autumn Gu was spread downward, pushing down on the Primeval Sea.

BANG!

As Fang Yuan heard the faint buzzing sound, in a blink, the torrential Primeval Sea instantly became tranquil.

The Spring and Autumn Cicada was using its breath to firmly oppress the entire Primeval Sea, like an invisible giant suppressing the mountains. There was not a single wave rolling on the sea surface; it was as calm as a mirror.

It was like a former crooked paper was immediately smoothened by massive hands of a giant which was formed from its breath.

This was a superior power!

Fang Yuan felt as if his heart was being suppressed by a massive invisible mountain, like when the Five Elements Mountain was being put down on the Monkey named Sun[1]. No matter how hard he tried to urge his Primeval Essence, nothing arose.

However, although he was shocked, he was not scared. On the contrary, a gleam of happy feelings appeared in his heart.

"I can not believe that the Spring and Autumn Cicada have been reborn along with me! So it is not a one-time usage Gu, but a multiple times usage one."

The Spring And Autumn Cicada was a level six Gu. In Fang Yuan's past life, it was his first level six Gu, and also was his last. To refine it, Fang Yuan had used all methods and resources. With tremendous strength and around thirty years of preparation, he had succeeded in refining it with much luck.

Nevertheless, not long after that, when he had not even warmed up the Spring And Autumn Cicada, as the righteous sects felt a threat from Fang Yuan, they decided to use area attack to kill him.

After being reborn, Fang Yuan could not notice the Spring And Autumn Cicada. Hence, he thought it had vanished. In fact, it had been placed in Fang Yuan's body,staying dormant.

Turning back five hundred years had consumed much of its strength. It was weak, too weak that even its master - Fang Yuan, could not feel its existence.

Although the Spring And Autumn Cicada had appeared, the situation was still troublesome.

From when he was reborn, it always remained in its dormant state to recover itself. Why it had now appeared was because of its feeling about the threat towards the vain aperture. It was awakened by the Wine Gu's intent.

It was feeble, very feeble, extremely feeble.

In Fang Yuan's memory, the vitality of a Spring And Autumn Cicada was abundant. Its body was like a precious floor, emitting soft shining light. Its two wings werelight green. They were like two new leaves spurting out from inside.

But right now, a whiff of stern and deathly stillness breath was released from its body. The body of the cicada did not show off any light. Only a coarse and dismal appearance could be seen, it did not look much different from a dead tree. The color of its pair of wings was not even faintly green, it was a dry yellow color, like withering leaves that almost fell in autumn. Moreover, the tips of its wings were slightly curled up. The damaged wings were as leaves with dwindling edges.

Toward this, Fang Yuan was feeling lucky as well as painful.

The painful thing was that this Spring And Autumn Cicada was severely wounded. Like standing on the edge, it was only a line away from death.

As luck would have it, the Spring And Autumn Cicada were already fatigued to this extent. If not, he would be the one who would have encountered great trouble!

One needed to know, at the same time, Gu Masters and Gu had to support each other. It was best for them to be at the same level.

A level one Gu Master should use level one Gu. This was the ideal way.

If the Gu had a lower level compared to the Gu Master, when the Gu Master used it, it would be like a strong man carrying a crabstick. It would be powerless.

If a Gu had a higher level than the Gu Master, then as the Gu Master was using it, it would be similar to a child holding a heavy lumberjack axe. The will was there, but not the strength.

The Spring And Autumn Cicada was a level six Gu while Fang Yuan was only a tiny Beginner level one Gu Master. Using images to compare, then the Spring And Autumn Cicada was a mountain, and Fang Yuan was only a squirrel. The squirrel wanted to lift the mountain to smash its opponent, but before that, it was already being crushed by the mountain.

If the Spring And Autumn Cicada were at its peak status, as the little vain aperture of a level one Gu Master would not be able to hold it, it would directly be deadly broken due to the overwhelming breath.

Luckily it was at the worst stage of its capacity, as Fang Yuan's Primeval Sea was able to contain it.

"I gave up the Moonlight Gu, trying my best to find the Wine Gu to refine it into my Vital Gu. But in fact, I have soon had my Vital Gu. The Spring And Autumn Cicada is my Vital Gu!" After feeling the close connection he had between himself and the Spring And Autumn Cicada, Fang Yuan could not help but exclaim inside.

Vital Gu was the first Gu that a Gu Master refined. It was extremely critical as it would have a significant role in almost every aspect of a Gu Master later on.

Choosing a good Vital Gu meant it would be easier for the Gu Master to develop. A weak Vital Gu would affect the cultivating process of a Gu Master. He would stay behind compared to those at his age. The most critical thing was that it could also affect their battling in terms of being dead or alive.

Fang Yuan clearly understood this point. Hence, even though he had chosen the suppressing Gu of the Ancient Moon Mountain Stronghold which was the Moonlight Gu, he was still not satisfied. He had used thousand ways and hundred of plans to find the Wine Gu.

In his memory, for an amateur Gu Master, the Wine Gu was already a top-notch decision. The Moonlight Gu was only a middle-class Gu.

However, the most enticing things in life were the situations that no one would ever be able to know what awaited them.

In his previous life, Fang Yuan had refined a Spring And Autumn Cicada. After being reborn, although the Spring And Autumn Cicada had fell asleep, this kind of refining relationship still remained.

Moreover, after being washed by the River of Time, Fang Yuan discovered the connection between him and the Spring And Autumn Cicada was even tighter and closer than that of his past life. Fang Yuan was not able to sense it because the Spring And Autumn Cicada was getting too fatigued.

Therefore, according to the genuine meaning, the Spring And Autumn Cicada was the first Gu that he had refined.

Only that Fang Yuan did not refine this Spring And Autumn Cicada in this life, but it was the result of his effort five hundred years ago.

The Spring And Autumn Cicada was Fang Yuan's Vital Gu.

A level one Gu Master possessed a level six Vital Gu!

If someone heard this, they might not be able to believe it anyway! This had broken the limit of a human's acknowledgment!

However, this had really happened.

The fact could not be doubted.

"The Wine Gu is the best choice for a Vital Gu. But compared to the Spring And Autumn Cicada, it is just mud on the ground! My Vital Gu in this life is actually the Spring And Autumn Cicada, hahaha...."
