Chapter 76: Enlightenment and Breakthrough!
Chapter 76: Enlightenment and Breakthrough!
"Young friend, the space wormhole is temporarily experiencing some issues and requires maintenance..."
In the central plaza of Horizon City, a blue-robed old man respectfully addressed Gu Fei.
This old man was Luo Cheng, the ancestor of the Luo family. He stood before five people: Gu Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had taken the form of a middle-aged man.
"It's a small problem, it'll be fixed soon!"
Gu Fei nodded and then turned his gaze to the center of the stone platform. There, a massive pitch-black hole, about ten meters wide, slowly rotated. A powerful spatial force emanated from it, though at the moment, this force was somewhat chaotic.
In the next moment, the space around Gu Fei began to distort. A vast amount of spatial power surged forth and rushed into the space wormhole. This space wormhole had existed for many years, causing the spatial imprint between the two locations to become somewhat blurred. To repair it, one simply needed to use spatial power to deepen the imprint between the two places, which would solve the problem.
Given Gu Fei's current peak Dou Ancestor strength, it didn't take long to repair.
"It's done!"
Ten minutes later, Gu Fei opened his eyes. The chaotic spatial force emanating from the space wormhole on the stone platform gradually dissipated.
"Let's go!"
Without saying much, Gu Fei led Xiao Yi Xian and the others into the space wormhole. The moment the five entered the wormhole, their figures vanished instantly.
Watching the disappearance of Gu Fei and his companions, Luo Cheng clicked his tongue and sighed, "I wonder which faction these people belong to. I've never heard of such young Dou Ancestor experts within a thousand miles. Could they be from Central Plains?"

As soon as they stepped into the space wormhole, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and the others suddenly felt their vision go dark, and their bodies experienced a sense of weightlessness. Fortunately, this feeling quickly faded, and a strange space tunnel appeared before their eyes.
In front of them was a space tunnel that seemed endless. On both sides of the tunnel were faint silver-colored space barriers, and within these barriers was a passage about ten meters wide. At the end of the passage lay an abyss of darkness.
The entire passage was eerily silent, with not a sound to be heard.
"This place is so dark!"
It was Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin's first time seeing such a space tunnel, and they were a little scared, sticking close to Gu Fei. Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King couldn't help but feel somewhat lost.
"Don't be afraid!"
Gu Fei reassured them, then pulled out a small wooden boat from his storage ring. As soon as the small object appeared, it expanded rapidly, like a fish entering water. In just a few blinks of an eye, it had transformed into a ship several meters long and wide, with thin silver spatial forces swirling around its surface, giving it an air of mystery.
"Lion King, at the bow, there's an energy input point. Just infuse some Dou Qi there, and this space boat will be able to travel through the space tunnel..."
Gu Fei instructed the Lion King before boarding the ship with Xiao Yi Xian and the others. "Yes, Master!"
The Lion King responded respectfully, then moved to the bow and infused his Dou Qi. Instantly, the entire ship began to tremble slightly. Finally, a force shot out from the stern, and with a swoosh, the space boat transformed into a streak of silver light, shooting through the tunnel at lightning speed toward the void of darkness...
Traveling through the space wormhole, it would take about ten days to reach Beicheng in Central Plains. At first, Zi Yan was quite enthusiastic, diligently cultivating with a serious expression as she absorbed Dou Qi with her eyes closed.
However, she couldn't sit still for long. After a few days, she grew restless and started chatting with the others when Gu Fei wasn't paying attention.
"Qing Lin, aren't you bored?"
"Not at all. This experience is something I never even dreamed of before..."
At the moment, Zi Yan was pestering Qing Lin. Hearing them talk, Gu Fei helplessly rubbed his forehead.
After enduring the monotonous journey for about ten days, they finally reached the end of the space tunnel and arrived in the Northern Region of Central Plains.
Gu Fei had no intention of lingering in the Northern Region. His next destination was the Central Region of Central Plains, Luo Shen Gorge. There, a seventh-rank shapeshifting magical beast, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, awaited. Its magic core was the key to unlocking the Poison Pill Method.
Moving forward, Gu Fei slowed their pace a bit. After passing through each space tunnel, they would rest for a day or two in a nearby city, as not everyone could endure the monotonous
journey.
About twenty days later, Gu Fei and his group finally reached the edge of the Northern Region of Central Plains, about to enter the Central Region.
By now, Gu Fei felt that the accumulation of power during this time had deepened his foundation at the peak of Dou Ancestor, giving him an opportunity to break through to Dou Venerate. So, he instructed the Lion King to find a secluded place where he could enter seclusion to break through.
In a cave, Gu Fei opened his attribute panel.

"Increase cultivation!"
Looking at the accumulated emotion value, Gu Fei spoke to the system.
Congratulations, host, for consuming 40,000 emotion points to gain an enlightenment in
cultivation.
(TL/n: What a waste! You're a tier 8 alchemist bro, use pills to breakthrough...)
In his state of enlightenment, Gu Fei felt the barrier between him and Dou Venerate rapidly
-closing.
Three days later, a powerful aura burst out from the cave where Gu Fei was in seclusion,
causing the entire mountain to tremble.
"What a strong pressure!"
"Big Brother Gu Fei seems even stronger!"
Feeling this terrifying aura, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin felt an overwhelming pressure that
made it hard to breathe. Even the more powerful Zi Yan and the Amethyst Winged Lion King weren't much better off, their faces full of shock as they gazed at the young figure in the sky with deep admiration.
In the sky, Gu Fei lazily stretched. His skin began to ripple, and the bones within his body made a series of crisp sounds like a complex machine being activated.
"So this is the power of Dou Venerate."
In the next moment, Gu Fei clenched his hand, feeling the vast, ocean-like Dou Qi within his body, and couldn't help but be mesmerized. This power had a maddening allure, something countless people spent their lives pursuing, yet never reached.
Next, he extended his hand and suddenly clenched it, causing the space before him to twist into a strange indentation. If this power was applied to a person's body, even a Dou Ancestor expert would likely be reduced to a puddle of blood and flesh on the spot.
Feeling the immense power that could distort space with a mere gesture, a smile slowly appeared on Gu Fei's face. This realm, which many spend their entire lives striving to reach, he had achieved at just seventeen years old.
