Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body Chapter 394 – Successfully Broke Through, Intermediate Saint Stage!

On the towering mountain peak, Gu Xi was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock.

The spiritual energy around his body was surging and boiling. The spiritual energy in his Dantian had also reached a state of saturation at this moment. His own aura was erratic and somewhat flimsy.

This was the state where he was about to advance. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes.

“It’s time.”

He muttered and took out the Saint Breakthrough Pill from his storage bag. However, he was not in a hurry to consume it. Instead, he continued to ask, “How’s the progress of the extraction?”

The System’s reply quickly rang out.

[Extraction progress: 30%!]

Hearing this, Gu Xi estimated the time in his heart. With this kind of progress, it would not take long for him to complete the extraction of the teleportation array. Right now, all he needed to do was to take another step forward in his cultivation realm.

Shaking his head, Gu Xi no longer thought about it and swallowed the Saint Breakthrough Pill in his hand.

The pill entered his throat, and immediately, a cool feeling spread throughout his body. Immediately, a huge suction force was emitted from his body, absorbing the surrounding rich heaven and earth spiritual energy into his body in an overbearing manner.

Gu Xi shut his eyes tightly. His expression a little pained.

This sudden excessive spiritual energy caused all of his meridians to become swollen and painful. It even gave him the feeling that he would explode and die at any moment.

Wave after wave of rich spiritual energy seeped out from the surface of his body like a tidal wave. After which, it slowly withdrew once again. This carried on in a continuous cycle…

This process was torturous. However, Gu Xi could only grit his teeth and endure it. This was because he knew that all his efforts would be in vain once he gave up.

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the mountain peak.

In the next moment, the spiritual energy in the world became extremely turbulent. Streams of pure spiritual energy gathered together and formed a huge spiritual energy vortex in the sky above the man in a green robe.

When the spiritual energy in the vortex became more and more saturated until it reached a critical point, an endless amount of spiritual energy surged from the top of his head into his body.

This spiritual energy poured into his body for only a dozen seconds. When the last bit of spiritual energy in the vortex was poured into his body, Gu Xi’s eyes, which had been tightly shut for several days, finally opened!

The moment his eyes opened, a cold aura shot out from his pitch-black eyes. It even tore a crack in the air in front of him.

A majestic pressure surged out from his body in all directions, stopping in mid-air and retracting back into his body.

“Whew.” Gu Xi let out a breath of turbid air leisurely, his eyes incomparably profound.

“Is this the power of the intermediate Saint stage…”

He slightly stretched his muscles and bones, and a series of crackling sounds burst out from his entire body. He clenched his fists, feeling the soaring spiritual energy in his dantian, and could not help but grin.

“How many days has it been?” Gu Xi slowly stretched his body, as if he was talking to himself.

[Nine days.]

The System’s cold voice quickly sounded.

“How’s the extraction of the formation?”

[The extraction is complete, all you need to do is keep it in your bag.]

Upon hearing these words, Gu Xi’s eyes involuntarily lit up, before he impatiently leaped from the peak of the mountain, his entire body falling downwards.

However, in the next moment, he once again appeared at the location where the teleportation array was located.

He surveyed his surroundings and immediately called Little Jin over. After learning that no one or demon beast had approached this place during this period of time, he once again stored Little Jin into the demon beast space. After which, he placed his gaze on the array below his feet.

Compared to the array from before, the patterns on the surface of this teleportation array had become increasingly clear. There was an extremely shocking energy vaguely surging within it.

Gu Xi observed for a moment. After he did not discover anything amiss, he willed and the huge teleportation formation beneath his feet began to shrink rapidly. Finally, it shrunk to the size of a palm, it was suspended in his palm.

Although it had shrunk in size, there were no other differences compared to the previous teleportation formation, including the surging energy within it.

Gu Xi willed again, and the array in his palm began to expand at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had returned to its previous size.

“Since I’ve finished extracting the teleportation array, doesn’t that mean I can use it to head to Central Plains at any time?”

Gu Xi suddenly thought of this and could not help but be eager to give it a try.

He was now the true master of this teleportation array, and he did not need to rely on the Greater Teleportation Token to activate the array like the ancient ones did. He only needed to move it with his mind, which was simple, fast, and convenient.

Gu Xi had the attitude of giving it a try and gave the order to the array under his feet.

In the next moment, the huge array began to operate slowly. Relying on the faint connection with Gu Xi, the array began to devour a large amount of the spiritual energy in Gu Xi’s body. It was as if the array would never be able to eat its fill.

Gu Xi’s body trembled, but he did not stop it. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to test out how much spiritual energy was needed to completely activate the formation.

As time slowly passed, the spiritual energy in Gu Xi’s body also disappeared at an extremely fast speed. He was even starting to run out of energy. Meanwhile, the formation under his feet was operating at an even faster and fiercer speed. A wave of terrifying energy was continuously spreading out.

Until a certain moment, an astonishing pillar of light soared into the sky. It was like a stairway to the Nine Heavens. One could not even see the end of it at a glance.

The surrounding void began to become irregular and chaotic. At this moment, some of the void had already collapsed to varying degrees, revealing the darkness within.

Soon, a spatial crack that could fit one person appeared in front of Gu Xi. It was still pitch black as far as the eye could see, but this spatial crack was the only one that did not disappear for a long time. Clearly, this was the entrance to the Void Tunnel.

Compared to the spatial crack opened with the Greater Teleportation Token, the scale was indeed incomparable. Moreover, it looked a little shabby. Fortunately, the current formation was easy to carry, but the spiritual energy consumption was a little shocking.

At this moment, Gu Xi was panting heavily, his face was a little pale. The spiritual energy in his body was almost depleted, and he could no longer support the Void Tunnel.

His body trembled slightly, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. At the same time, the Void Tunnel in front of him instantly closed and dissipated, and the formation also stopped operating.

“It seems that with my current cultivation, it’s still a little difficult to use this formation to go to the Central Plains!”

Gu Xi shook his head with a wry smile, sat down and began to recover.
