Without hesitation, he strode out towards the altar.
At this moment, what Gu Wudi has to do is the same as what the King of Wan Nie did back then, which is to cancel the equal status and make the Sky Species his own. Only in this way can he break the rules and restrictions of "one body merging into one species".
Chapter 100 Surrender
The ancient bricks and cold stone steps were all under Gu Wudi's feet. He climbed up the altar step by step and sat down cross-legged on something like a cushion.
As soon as he sat down, the altar felt a sense of movement. The patterns and grooves on its surface that had been silent for endless years began to glow, and a mysterious force spread out.
This is like some kind of medium that isolates the outside world and creates an environment outside the primitive ancient world, so as to weaken the power of the ancient species.
In addition, an immortal spell lingered in the void, like a lullaby, cooling down the avenue of heaven and earth and making the ancient species confused and almost falling asleep.
Gu Wudi listened carefully. This spell was specifically aimed at the ancient species and had no effect on him.
He could feel that the Sky Seed in his lower Dantian was affected. Even when he called it with his mind, the Sky Seed did not respond.
Gu Wudi couldn't help but think of the various methods used by foreign countries against the Dao Seed Method, which also cut off the connection between the host and the ancient species, greatly reducing the host's strength.
But this is not exclusive to alien creatures. As early as the era when the King of All Evils rose, or even in an even more ancient era, the spell that affects the Tao Seed had already been created.
Correspondingly, methods to counter such spells also came into being. This is the world of monks, nothing is absolute.
At this moment, the power of the Sky Seed has been reduced to the lowest level, and it is the best time for Gu Wudi to subdue it.
He did not start rashly and directly, but tried to open the storage magic weapon, which was given to him by his father Wang Gen. It was made from the bones of a True Immortal-level Void Beast. Although it was not as powerful as the one in the hands of a "god", the internal space was still vast, forming a chaotic small world of its own, filled with many major medicines, elixirs, etc.
When I was trying to pass the trial level before, I couldn't open it due to the influence of an unknown force. But now that I have passed the trial, I should no longer be restricted.
Sure enough, Gu Wudi successfully opened the storage magic weapon. It had already been refined into a symbol by Wang Gen and engraved on his finger bones.
He extended his spiritual sense to scan the storage magic instrument and took out several bottles of elixir, all of which were powerful medicines that could bring the dead back to life and turn bones into flesh. Each bottle was made with the fruit of the elixir of life as the main ingredient, and had miraculous effects that could protect a warrior's life.
What Gu Wudi is going to do next will consume a lot of his vitality, and these elixirs will definitely play a big role.
After he was ready, he began, enduring the severe pain and forcibly pulling the Sky Seed out of his lower Dantian flesh and blood.
Since Gu Wudi has entered the great perfection realm of Rooting, the Sky Seed has already grown endless roots, firmly rooted in the flesh and blood. Therefore, when the Sky Seed was pulled out, these roots became a big trouble, sticking to the flesh and blood and bones.
A horrible tearing sensation came over him, causing Gu Wudi to gasp for air, but he forced himself to endure the pain and resolutely pulled out the Sky Seed by its roots.
With a "swish" tearing sound, the Sky Seed was pulled out. Countless roots swayed gently, covered with the rules of the avenue, and at the same time, stained with a large amount of bright red blood and muscle fragments.
The severe pain made Gu Wudi tremble all over and his face turned pale. His aura dropped a lot and he became listless. Especially his soul, which was also greatly affected. It was no longer brilliant but became dim and shaky.
It should be understood that for cultivators who follow the Dao Seed System, Dao Seed is equal to life. Losing Dao Seed or having Dao Seed ruptured are both fatal blows, which can result in disability at the least and death at the worst.
Now, Gu Wudi's brutal pulling out of the Sky Seed that was rooted in his body was no less than taking out his own heart and destroying his own path with his own hands.
What’s even worse is that the violent turbulence awakened the sleepy sky species.
It is not a living creature, but a kind of shortcut derived from the rules of the Tao. It appears in the world in the form of a seed. Influenced by the acquired environment, this kind of perfect ancient species has developed some vague consciousness. It will choose the host according to certain rules and reject other ancient species, but that's all.
Even the Ten Thousand Evils Fire that evolved along with the Ten Thousand Evils King did not eventually develop a complete consciousness. This is the limitation of the ancient species.
Therefore, the Sky Seed did not realize what Gu Wudi's purpose was. Countless roots shook and spread towards the place where it was originally rooted, trying to return to its original position and become one with the host.
However, this move was stopped by Gu Wudi. He had a blank expression on his face, and swung the halberd in his hand, cutting off countless roots with one halberd.
Since almost all the offensive means in the Dao Seed system are related to Dao Seed, after cutting off the Sky Seed, Gu Wudi’s offensive means were much less, and the Chaos Halberd naturally became his reliance.
The Sky Seed vibrated with a buzzing sound and hovered in place. With its hazy consciousness, it had no idea what was happening and why the host would attack it, with whom it had a symbiotic relationship.
Gu Wudi ignored him and pulled out the stopper of an ancient medicine bottle, pouring out an elixir covered with mysterious patterns.
After being disconnected from the Tao Seed, every aspect of his body was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the fire of his life was shaking and could be extinguished at any time.
Practicing Taoism is like building a tall building, the Tao seeds are the foundation and the Tao behaviors are the floors.
Extracting the Tao Seed is like extracting the foundation. Without the foundation, the entire high-rise building will collapse and be smashed to pieces.
Gu Wudi is in this state now, and all the skills he has worked so hard to cultivate have been lost in one day.
His face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. After pouring out the elixir, he threw it into his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it with his head tilted back.
Once the pill enters the stomach, its effect is immediate.
The powerful medicinal power spread throughout the body and penetrated into every limb and bone. It not only repaired the devastated land after the Dao Seed was pulled out, but also stabilized the shaky fire of life and the dim and dim soul that could be annihilated at any time.
The improvement in his condition made Gu Wudi calmer and gave him the confidence to face the Sky Seed.
He suddenly opened his eyes, emitting a gleam of light, and looked directly at the Sky Seed, expressing his intention to conquer it and make it submit to him.
At this moment, even if the consciousness of the Sky Seed was vague, it showed a strong desire to resist.
Symbiotic relationship is its bottom line, and it is impossible for it to submit to any living being.
Thus, the historical scene was repeated, and the ancient species developed a desire to resist and stood on the opposite side of the host with which it had originally lived in symbiosis.
However, this does not mean that the connection between it and Gu Wudi has been severed. The two were once integrated and experienced the cultivation of the two realms of planting the Tao and taking root together. The connection cannot be severed by forcible separation.
There was no other way, Gu Wudi could only attack the Sky Seed.
He stood up, grabbed the Chaos Halberd with both hands, circulated the energy and blood in his body, shouted loudly, and chopped down fiercely.
"when!"
Sparks flew as the halberd blade collided with the hard seed coat, as if two stars were colliding.
A tingling sensation came from his arm, making Gu Wudi look solemn.
It is worthy of its reputation as a perfect ancient species that is as famous as the Hongmeng Purple Qi Species. The seed coat alone is so strong that it is no less than fairy gold.
To reach the Daoshi realm, it is necessary to sprout from such a hard seed coat. It is incredible to think about it.
The Sky Seed, which had suffered a heavy blow, was shaking constantly. Many of its roots were harvested by the halberd blade and severed on the spot. Then, it instinctively began to fight back, emitting circles of avenue ripples.
The void was silent, and a vast and heavy sky appeared silently, hovering above Gu Wudi's head, pressing down, crushing everything along the way.
The scene was undoubtedly terrifying, as if the sky had fallen down.
"Crack!"
Gu Wudi's footsteps sank, and his flesh made a popping sound, which was the result of being squeezed by huge pressure.
He couldn't help but let out a low roar, and his blood boiled like a raging river, rushing endlessly, giving him infinite strength.
If he couldn't defeat the Sky Seeds weakened by the environment created by the altar, then there was no need for him to take the path of becoming a seed. He was simply not qualified.
Thinking of this, Gu Wudi wielded the Chaos Halberd without reservation, and moved forward courageously, delivering a powerful blow.
Sensing its master's state of mind, the entire body of the Chaos Halberd became crystal clear and sparkling, bursting out with terrifying chaotic light.
Gu Wudi also keenly noticed the changes in the halberd. At this moment, he seemed to have become one with the halberd. Both his momentum and state of mind had reached the extreme.
"boom!"
A halberd crossed the sky, and chaotic light raged, as if it was held in the hands of an ancient giant, creating the world there.
The sky released by the Sky Dome Seed encountered an unprecedented heavy blow and was instantly split into two. The general trend was like a deflated ball, collapsing.
Gu Wudi took advantage of the victory and attacked the Sky Seed repeatedly, knocking it back and leaving it with no place to stand.
During this time, another sky dome appeared and tried to fight back, but was ruthlessly cut off by Gu Wudi.
Later, all the roots growing on the seed were cut off, revealing the core of the seed, which was an indescribable thing. It was revealed for only a moment before being covered up by the secrets of heaven, becoming hazy.
Gu Wudi became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and he beat the Sky Species until it was unable to resist. Then, he used his powerful consciousness to suppress the Sky Species' hazy consciousness, not giving it any chance to breathe.
This process is very difficult, because the consciousness of the Sky Species is very vague and very close to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It is not easy to make it submit.
However, Gu Wudi has plenty of time.
I don't know how much time had passed, but under the dual suppression of combat power and consciousness, the Sky Species gradually calmed down and no longer resisted so fiercely.
This is not true surrender, it's just the beginning.
Suddenly, a holy and mysterious ancient white fire came quietly to the side of Gu Wudi, suspended in the void, burning silently.
Gu Wudi recognized this ancient fire. It was the flame held in the hand of the King of All Evils in the old scene presented by the Ten Thousand Evils Fire. It was also a perfect fire.
This was originally the fire that the Immortal King prepared for himself. He wanted to wait until he successfully separated all the evil fires and embarked on the path of using his body as a seed, and then integrate it into himself.
Unfortunately, he died at the step of separating the fire.
Therefore, this spark was preserved and stored on the altar for future generations.
"Heavenly Flame."
Gu Wudi whispered and revealed the origin of this white flame.
Like the Ten Thousand Sins Fire, it is a perfect fire with boundless potential. Once a cultivator merges with it, entering the realm of immortality is almost a foregone conclusion.
Now, it has become ancient and invincible, floating there quietly, motionless.
The appearance of the Heavenly Flame was not a coincidence, but an intentional act of the altar.
Gu Wudi naturally understood this. He stretched out his hand and sucked this perfect fire seed over, slowly bringing it towards his lower dantian.
The Heavenly Flame was very quiet, having long been suppressed and sealed by a tremendous force, leaving it at his mercy. Otherwise, with the characteristics of the perfect ancient fire, it would have sensed that Gu Wudi had merged with the Sky Seed and would have moved away on its own initiative, making it impossible for him to get close.
As the Heavenly Flame approached, the originally quiet Sky Seed began to tremble slightly, releasing the aura of a perfect ancient species, as if warning the other party.
Upon seeing this, Gu Wudi immediately took action to suppress it, forcing the Sky Race to calm down again.
However, it still found it unbearable that a strange ancient species was gradually approaching its rooted place.
When the Heavenly Flame truly entered the lower Dantian, the Sky Seed finally exploded. After being suppressed for a long time, this time the explosion was like a volcanic eruption, extremely violent.
Gu Wudi had anticipated this, and acted coldly and ruthlessly to suppress it.
After a fierce battle, the Sky Species was defeated and could no longer communicate with the universe. It had lost the huge advantages that the perfect ancient species had innately possessed, and naturally could not defeat the Ancient Invincible.
This time, the vague consciousness within the ancient species truly showed its intention to surrender.
No matter what the Heavenly Flame did, the Sky Seed did not react. It hung quietly in front of Gu Wudi's chest and fell into silence.
At this point, the symbiotic relationship between humans and ancient species was truly broken.
Gu Wudi succeeded.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Breaking the symbiotic relationship means he can start cultivating the Tao all over again.
This time when you plant the seeds of the Tao, you are not planting other things but yourself, using your body as the seed.
