Perfect World: Dream Back to the Ancient Immortal World

Once he obtains this relic, Gu Wudi will be able to open those profound Buddhist and Taoist scriptures and obtain the various great methods of the ancient monks.
Chapter 151 Perfection
“boom!”
The golden lake water surged in. Even without the golden skull, there were still pieces of remains of eminent monks trying to refine Gu Wudi’s soul and body.
The crisis has not yet been resolved.
At this moment, Gu Wudi had two choices. One was to subdue the ancient monk’s relics. In this way, he could immediately master the Buddhist scriptures and possess Buddha nature. The divine liquid of the reincarnation pool dissolved from the ancient monk’s skin would no longer threaten him.
The second option is to keep going and rely on your own strength to persevere to the end.
After some thought, he chose the latter.
Gu Wudi didn’t believe that he couldn’t do what the Immortal Monk King was able to do back then.
He let out a low roar, his soul glowed, and two streams of immortal energy guarded around him and rushed towards his body.
Golden light shone everywhere, and the ancient monk’s skeleton released even more terrifying power, forcing Gu Wudi to retreat.
At the same time, it refined it ruthlessly, penetrating every pore, in an effort to dissolve his soul, turning it into a pool of water and burying it there forever.
The breath of death was in the air, and Gu Wudi sensed the crisis. If he continued like this, he might really fall over and fall asleep in this pool.
In critical moments, he communicated with his physical body and let his physical body exert strength.
After trying several more times, he was still forced back. Gu Wudi made a desperate attempt and pushed the two spiritual energies to the extreme.
At this time, the physical body has reached its limit and is on the verge of collapse.
Each tiny particle of ancient seeds releases endless potential and radiates clear light.
A faint murmur could be heard from the five internal organs representing the human body, as if someone was sitting cross-legged inside and chanting ancient scriptures.
According to a lineage of ancient monks, the five internal organs of the human body represent the five elements, and have five lives. Together with the original one life, there are six lives in total, which are the six paths.
At this moment, in the reincarnation pool of the ancient monk, Gu Wudi was forced into a desperate situation. The five lives in his body showed signs of awakening, and all kinds of mysteries emerged.
The sounds of the five ancient scriptures merged into one, penetrating layers of lake water and echoing with the two immortal auras. At this moment, a huge attraction came, allowing the ancient invincible soul, which had been unable to move, to break through all obstacles at once and return to his body at a high speed.
“boom!”
The soul returned to its place, and Gu Wudi was complete. After going through many hardships, his body and soul had undergone a qualitative transformation. What made him most happy was that his five internal organs were hazy, and a mysterious transformation was taking place, which directly affected the whole body, as if something was gestating.
“Buzz!”
Gu Wudi recovered, and a clear light emanated from his whole body. This was a unique light of his body, and it was a scene that only appeared when his potential was bursting out.
The golden light surged and came surging, trying to refine him again, separate his spirit and body, and imprison and suppress him.
However, after tempering and transformation, Gu Wudi has been reborn. He is no longer afraid of the power of the Samsara Pond and can stand at the bottom of the lake.
At this moment, waves rolled at the bottom of the lake, golden clouds appeared, and auspicious light erupted like a volcano.
Two golden hand bones stretched out from the ruins of bones, peeling off the bones one by one and walking out from underneath.
It is different from the previous special golden skull. Not only is the skull intact, but the limbs, skeleton, etc. are also well preserved. Only the flesh and skin are gone and dissolved in the pool water.
After the golden human bones crawled out of the ruins, they sat cross-legged on the endless bones, emitting a ball of blazing light, and the sound of Buddhist music was rumbling and extremely sacred, just like a reborn immortal monk, illuminating the world.
The human bones at this moment were sacred and peaceful, but terrifying for Gu Wudi. His body, which had just recovered, showed signs of collapse again, and he coughed up blood.
An irresistible force swept over him, imprisoning him and making him unable to move at all.
Afterwards, the golden human skeleton stretched out a hand bone and slapped it towards Gu Wudi. The power was so terrifying, countless times more powerful than the magic weapon. Gu Wudi’s brand new body was instantly cracked.
Blood flowed out, bones crackled, and even the body full of clear and bright light could not withstand such a blow.
“cough!”
He coughed up a lot of blood.
Before he could catch his breath, the golden bone palm came again and hit Gu Wudi on the back. At that moment, his internal organs were burning and dislocated.
Then, the golden bone palm began to strike like a storm.
Gu Wudi was not panicked, because he knew that this was the great opportunity at the bottom of the lake, the Eighteen Beats of the Ancient Buddha.
The golden human skeleton seemed to be hitting him hard and injuring him severely, but in fact, it was helping him find his weaknesses.
Each time he struck a part that was Gu Wudi’s weak spot. From his point of view, these places were cultivated perfectly without any flaws.
However, from the perspective of the golden human bones, there are flaws everywhere.
Being able to preserve a complete skeleton in the Samsara Pond, it is impossible to guess what level of cultivation this creature had during his lifetime. He was definitely a strong one among the immortal monks.
Therefore, he could easily see the weak points in Gu Wudi and point them out one by one using the great magical power of Eighteen Beats of Ancient Buddha.
When the weak spots on his body were ruthlessly smashed by the golden hand bones, Gu Wudi used his great magic to continuously repair and reorganize them. Surprisingly, a hazy light emerged from these places, making them even stronger.
Feeling the changes in himself, Gu Wudi was delighted. This opportunity was rare and could solve his hidden dangers to the greatest extent.
Clear light filled the air, and after a round of beatings, Gu Wudi reshaped his body. He became more flawless, and his aura was even more intense than before.
Before he could catch his breath, the golden hand bones moved again and slapped him three times in a row. Each palm was fatal and almost broke him apart on the spot. This was even more terrifying than the previous storm.
Fortunately, after clapping three times, he stopped attacking and became quiet again.
Gu Wudi understood what the other party meant. This was the time the other party was giving him to recover. If he continued to hit him with this force, it would be enough to beat him to death.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly mobilized the ancient particles, released their potential, and repaired his injuries.
When the body was perfect again, the golden hand bone was raised again.
In this way, the golden hand bones beat repeatedly, constantly correcting Gu Wudi’s flaws, making him almost flawless, and even treated him as meat paste, polishing him repeatedly in his hands.
Later on, the human bones stopped moving and stopped attacking.
At this time, Gu Wudi’s whole body was crystal clear, emitting a hazy precious light unique to the flesh. After being tempered by the Ancient Buddha’s Eighteen Beats, those invisible defects were solved. He embarked on a path to perfection. Moreover, the aura emitted by his five internal organs became more and more extraordinary, and the things nurtured inside grew faster.
Just when he thought that the attack was over, the golden human skeleton attacked again. This time, it no longer targeted the body, but the soul.
An irresistible force acted on Gu Wudi’s soul, pulling him out of his head.
The familiar Eighteen Beats of the Ancient Buddha reappeared and struck upon the Primordial Spirit, causing it to emit rays of light and then continuously disintegrate.
Gu Wudi growled, followed the opponent’s rhythm, and honed his own spirit.
He was like a piece of divine iron, repeatedly polished and hammered by the golden hand bones.
Although there was severe pain, the golden human bones were very sensible and did not cause any damage to the root.
In the end, Gu Wudi’s soul shrank by a whole circle. The number of the ancient particle species did not change, but the size did change. At the same time, it became purer and tougher. Overall, his strength increased instead of decreased.
After doing all this, the golden human skeleton still did not stop. He began to pat the two immortal auras cultivated by Gu Wudi.
With just one slap, the two perfectly cultivated immortal energies were broken into several pieces.
The rules of the avenue were in chaos and burst out from the immortal energy, allowing Gu Wudi to see scenery that he had never seen before.
This is the way to refine Qi. In the past, I only cultivated Qi and continuously made the immortal Qi approach perfection, but I never truly understood it.
Now, with the help of the golden hand bones, he could dissect the immortal energy and examine his own path from the inside out.
“Buzz!”
The two spiritual energies were reorganized, becoming more holy and flawless, and at the same time, they were refined a lot. This was a good change for Gu Wudi.
Afterwards, the golden human bones continued to hit. Gu Wudi counted them and found that it was the same as the previous treatment of the body and soul, a total of eighteen times.
The two streams of immortal energy were broken and reassembled, constantly removing impurities, and underwent a qualitative change.
When everything calmed down, Gu Wudi stood quietly at the bottom of the lake, with two holy and otherworldly auras surrounding his body. No matter how the golden lake water hit him, he did not move at all.
The Eighteen Beats of Ancient Buddha came to an end, and he gained tremendous benefits. He evolved and transformed in all aspects.
There’s even a feeling of impending breakthrough.
The ancient particles all over the body are extremely full, and there is a feeling that is about to burst out, that is the feeling of immortality.
Although it has not happened yet, Gu Wudi knows that the third immortal energy is not far from coming into being.
At this moment, the golden hand bone ended its mission and sank silently into the ruins of bones.
Gu Wudi guessed that this complete human skeleton was left behind by a great immortal monk in the ancient monk lineage. He performed the Eighteen Beats of Ancient Buddha at the bottom of the pool to provide good fortune for the creatures of the ancient monk lineage. It was different from the skull that produced evil thoughts.
“call!”
Gu Wudi let out a long breath, staring at himself, an indescribable joy welling up in his heart. The successful completion of this trip allowed him to take a big step forward and save an unknown amount of time.
Most importantly, the flaws have been eliminated and the overall combat power has soared, making it difficult for peers to catch up.
He looked at the lake above, then at the ruins of bones below, and after thinking for a while, he decided not to go up for the time being and continue exploring downwards.
Going further down, it involves the ultimate secret of the ancient monks – artificial reincarnation. Perhaps you can witness a miracle and see the legendary ancient Bodhi tree.
This immortal root has always been in the hands of a lineage of ancient monks, and has produced many enlightened monks. The famous Immortal Monk King is one of them. It would be unimaginable if one could attain enlightenment while sitting cross-legged under the ancient Bodhi tree.
He controlled his body, sank to the bottom of the lake, and began to clean up the ruins of bones, continuing to dig downwards.
They dug until they reached a depth of 108 zhang (1640 ft). They finally found the bottom, where they found a grotto formed by a number of ancient caves connected together, densely packed like a honeycomb.
It was very quiet here, without any sound. Gu Wudi picked a cave at random and went straight in.
He walked deeper into the cave for a long time, about half an hour, and encountered nothing during this time. He only saw complex caves that were interconnected in all directions.
When they came to an open area, Gu Wudi’s pupils shrank, and he saw several tall ghost soldiers lined up in front of him and walking towards him.
He made way, and saw several ghost soldiers passing by him silently, as if they didn’t notice him at all, or they simply ignored him because he had the breath of the living.
“The ghost soldiers are passing by. Are they going to take the dead?”
Gu Wudi thought of the lush ancient forest he had seen before, where there were many living creatures of various species.
The ghost soldiers are supposed to pick up the “dead” creatures among them.
He did not follow the ghost soldiers away, but continued to move forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived. In the darkness ahead, there stood six huge stone gates, ancient and majestic. There was a strange power spreading, as if it was the path of reincarnation.
“Is this the six realms of reincarnation? Each door represents a path to rebirth. Whichever door you walk through will determine what race you will be reincarnated into.” He murmured to himself, shocked by the generosity of the ancient monks.
In the primitive ancient world, among the creatures who follow the path of reincarnation, the most famous are the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King and the Immortal Monk King. The former is obsessed with the path of reincarnation and even refined his own giant magic weapon, while the latter leads a lineage of ancient monks to construct the reincarnation of the human world in the ancient forest in this border area.
Now, Gu Wudi is fortunate enough to see the true face of the ancient monk’s reincarnation in the world.
