Peerless Immortal God

Chapter 170- The city in the forest

Chapter 170

Long Feng opened and closed his mouth several times without saying a single word. His heart was simply filled with shock as he listened to old Gu's words.

He didn't know how exactly to express the shock in his mind right now.

A baptism of the heavens! This alone sounded like a fantasy or a bed time story meant for kids, but old Gu obviously wouldn't lie about this.

And the dao heart! Even if you don't make an effort to comprehend that dao in your dao heart, your comprehension of it will still increase with time! All of this was simply heaven defying.

"How shocking" he finally managed to say. The other three could only nod.

Old Gu laughed at their reactions.
"That's not all. When you break through to the Dao realm, your whole body will be reconstructed. Every cell and bone will be shattered and rebuilt. Your body will no longer be a mortal body and will instead be a spirit body. A single punch of yours would shatter even a mountain and scatter the clouds! It is a complete rebirth where one will completely surpass the limits of mortals. One can live for over a thousand years and be able to Lord over a small territory even in the four regions." He added.

The four youths felt their blood boiling at these words. A complete rebirth! A punch to shatter a mountain!

"Of course, that realm is beyond our reach, not to mention the realms above it." Old Gu sighed.

Long Feng's eyes flashed. Beyond our reach? That wasn't applicable to him or the other three. They would definitely be able to reach that realm and even surpass it, he was sure of this.

"Alright, who has any other questions?" Old gu asked.

Long Feng sank into thought before he asked. "About the soul, every human has a soul, right? So why are only a few people able to use the soul power?"

Old Gu smiled faintly. "A good question. So far, you all have the wrong idea of the soul. Every human does have a soul, but only those who are talented in that aspect are able to use the power of the soul. Nonetheless, the heavens are fair. Once one reaches the dao realm and rebuilds the body, the soul world will be opened up. Those at the dao realm are able to use a weaker form of soul power, known as a divine sense to scout their surroundings. Of course, it also provides a great advantage for us soul cultivators. Our attacks normally target the soul, but the body provides some protection for the ethereal soul. But once the soul world is opened up, we can directly attack the opponent's soul world and destroy it, instantly killing them." He explained.

Long Feng nodded in understanding. It looks like the advantage of cultivating the soul will only truly surface at the spirit transformation layer and above.

"Now, let's focus on our journey. We are getting close" old Gu added with a serious look on his face.

They could all sense that the ghost energy was becoming increase dense. The defenseless Long Feng was already finding it difficult to move. Yan jian helped him to reduce the pressure of the ghost energy which his inner energy though.

The five figures continued to head deeper into the forest as the ghost energy became increasingly thick. They also occasionally ran into some yin ghosts towards the forest center with a yin soldier leading them. Luckily, they didn't run into any yin soldier at the mid rank and these low rank yin soldier were unable to sense the four even if they ran right past them. This caused long Feng and the other three to sigh as they felt chilly, remembering the auras of the yin soldiers who rushed past them. They also felt more awed by the formidable soul formation of old Gu.

At a certain point in time though, they felt a faint vibration in the air as an oppressive aura washed over them.

Long Feng who had managed to barely recover some inner energy immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as his face paled and his healed injuries resurfaced under this faint aura.
