The Extreme Princess

"Dad, are you saying that the magic circle created an illusion, so what mom and I saw was fake?"

In the woods, a pile of firewood was burning vigorously.

A family of three was sitting together. Above the flames, on a simple grill made of a few pieces of green wood, two pheasants had been roasted till golden brown and were sizzling with hot oil.

Gu Qingshan threw a few branches into the flames, nodded and said: “Cultivators are different from warriors. Their methods are strange and unpredictable. If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap.”

Gu Yue asked curiously, "What my mother and I saw and heard in the magic circle was exactly the same as reality. According to your description, the Lu Lianpeng couple were only cultivators at the seventh level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If a cultivator at the tenth or even eleventh level took action..."

"What would that look like?"

Gu Qingshan glanced at his daughter and smiled, “It is said that a hundred years ago, a powerful person at the tenth level of the Taiqing Holy Land, in order to seek a breakthrough, directly covered a city with a population of tens of millions with a huge illusion.”

At this point, Gu Qingshan raised the cloth bag in his hand and took a sip of the wine he brewed in the town. "The tens of millions of people and all living beings in that city lived in the illusion for ten years, and no one noticed anything unusual. When the strong man who set up the illusion array removed the array, everyone suddenly realized it. What's even more incredible is..."

"Ten years in the illusion, but only a moment in the outside world!"

【Isn’t this a god? 】

Gu Yue widened her eyes.

Her father's words seemed to open the door to a new world for her.

Gu Qingshan sighed: "The so-called moment of eternity is nothing more than this..."

Gu Yue deeply agreed with his father's evaluation.

After a long silence, Gu Yue fiddled with the firewood and asked hesitantly, "Dad, what does the furnace tripod mean? And what about the Xuanyin spirit body?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingshan froze, his expression somewhat awkward.

Mo Wanyou, who was cutting up a pheasant with a knife, also had a complicated look in his eyes.

After pondering for a while, Gu Qingshan realized that he couldn't hide it from his daughter anymore, and there was no need to hide it anymore, so he just told her everything.

【really...】

【These scum! 】

After listening to her father's explanation, she finally understood everything and a chill rose in her heart.

The term "furnace cauldron" is not some kind of alchemy furnace or medicine cauldron. It is simply what practitioners call the Dantian, which is also the small world of human life.

But what I had been worrying about for many years was completely wrong!

What was caught to be used as medicine?

Those people actually used the method of dual cultivation, using other people's bodies as cauldrons, stealing the spiritual essence in other people's bodies to strengthen their own cultivation!

After understanding this, Gu Yue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, she also vaguely understood many things.

Why did my father cause such a huge disaster as soon as I was born?

Thinking of what his parents had just said, combined with what he was thinking, Gu Yue asked in a trembling voice: "Dad, Mom, when our family fled Dingshan Palace, the fact was not that Dad had committed any crime..."

When asked this, Gu Yue bit her red lips tightly and asked word by word: "All this is for me, right!"

Gu Yue was very emotional.

She could understand speech as soon as she was born.

The group of people who pursued him relentlessly back then kept saying that Gu Qingshan had made a terrible mistake.

So much so that Gu Yue always thought that it was her father's problem, that her father had done something immoral, and that her father had rebelled against the Dingshan Palace.

However, it was only then that she realized how wrong she was.

Even though I have never distanced myself from my father for this reason!

Mo Wanyou took a step forward, reached out and gently stroked her daughter's hair, and said softly: "Yue'er... don't think too much."

Gu Yue reached out and held her mother's hand, then turned to Gu Qingshan with tearful eyes.

"Daddy, I want to practice!"

Hearing their daughter's powerful words, Gu Qingshan and his wife's faces froze.

After pondering for a while, Gu Qingshan looked into his daughter's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Practicing is not as simple as it sounds..."

"This road is full of thorns and bumps. The cultivators and warriors in the world fight against people, monsters, and nature. The road to the top is a road against the will of heaven. Do you understand?"

"Dad, I've made up my mind!"

Gu Yue nodded heavily.

【How is the ups and downs. 】

[So what if it is full of thorns and difficulties? 】

After sorting out the whole story, she knew very well that there would be countless troubles and crises ahead on the road ahead.

Gu Qingshan protected her for fifteen years, what about the next fifteen years?

After fifteen years, there are still twenty years, thirty years!

Could Gu Qingshan protect her for her entire life?

What made her tremble even more was the scenes of Gu Qingshan's bloody battles in the wilderness when he was young, and the body that exploded into a blood mist in the environment today.

What happened today was caused by the magic circle illusion. If one day, they encounter a stronger enemy, if at some moment, what happened today becomes true...

She didn't want to live under her father's wings all her life, and she didn't want to spend her life in fear and panic!

[As long as you have something to rely on, no matter how many difficulties and dangers there are! ]

Gu Yue thought.

Then she said in a deep voice: "Daddy, Yue'er doesn't want to hide behind you every time she encounters danger. I want to face it together with you!"

Gu Qingshan was stunned. He never thought that his daughter would be so determined.

He also didn't expect that after what happened today, Gu Yue didn't look crying or scared, but instead took the initiative to face the challenge and asked to step into the door of the cultivation world!

He gently held his daughter in his arms and comforted her softly, "Yue'er, don't worry, even if you fight against all the people in the world, Daddy will protect you!"

...

A month later, beside a mountain stream.

Gu Yue sat cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, with a serious expression on his face, listening attentively to his father's explanation of cultivation.

"Yue'er, concentrate your mind and calm your breath. Feel the world carefully. Can you find the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth?"

Spiritual energy...

Gu Yue closed her eyes and concentrated, following her father's instructions, using only her own consciousness to carefully feel everything around her.

However, after carefully feeling it for a long time, Gu Yue still found nothing.

After closing my eyes, apart from being able to hear some birds singing and insects chirping, there is only the occasional breeze blowing across my face.

hum...

Just when Gu Yue was beginning to doubt herself, a very subtle buzzing sound, like that of a mosquito, began to sound inside her body.

a little...

Two o'clock.

Wherever Gu Yue's consciousness reached, points of light began to flicker like stars. As time passed, they gathered more and more, and finally formed a stream, wandering around her endlessly.

【This is...】

【A colorful world! 】

After making this discovery, Gu Yue couldn't help but be shocked.

She was absolutely sure that everything around her was not an illusion, but real!

"Keep your mind calm!"

Just as Gu Yue was getting excited, Gu Qingshan’s voice came: “Spiritual energy is nourished by the heaven and earth, tempered by the sun and the moon, it takes a process to sense it, don’t be impatient!”

Hearing these words, Gu Yue opened his eyes and looked at his father with a strange expression, "Dad, generally speaking, how long does it take to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."

Seeing that Gu Yue only tried for a moment and then quit, Gu Qingshan frowned slightly, but still patiently explained: "Generally speaking, if a cultivator has spiritual roots, he can sense the flow of spiritual energy within a month."

Gu Yue widened her eyes and asked hurriedly, "Dad, where is the genius?"

Gu Qingshan replied: “If one has extremely sharp perception, it will only take three to five days to accomplish the task!”

Gu Yue's eyes flashed with cunning, "What about the appearance of a demon above the genius?"

Gu Qing Shan frowned and said softly: “Don’t be too ambitious when practicing. You have just started practicing, why are you so impatient?!”

"Daddy---"

Gu Yue pouted her lips and laughed:

"Dad, tell me, if someone can sense the flow of spiritual energy within an hour after starting to practice, what kind of qualifications should she have?"

Gu Qingshan was startled.

He followed the path of a martial artist, and even though he knew very little about Qi Refining, he was born in a royal palace after all, so he had the necessary knowledge. Otherwise, how could he teach Gu Yue how to practice Qi Refining?

Hearing his daughter's question, Gu Qingshan couldn't help but shake his head, "As far as I know, among the four holy places, six dynasties, and eighteen sects, the most evil person who has ever appeared in many years took a day and a night to..."

Gu Qingshan seemed to have suddenly caught something from his daughter's expression while speaking. He looked at her in shock and forgot what to say for a moment.

"hey-hey!"

Seeing Gu Qingshan's shocked expression, Gu Yue chuckled and handed the spiritual energy that she had finally captured to her father.

However, the moment she let go, the spiritual energy quickly disappeared and dissipated between heaven and earth again.

"Why is it gone..."

Gu Yue scratched her head. She didn't expect this little thing to run so fast.

"I have never underestimated the Xuanyin Spirit, but I never thought that I still underestimated it..."

Gu Qingshan at the side let out a long breath. He was indeed shocked by Gu Yue just now.

This time, while on the road, he had been helping Gu Yue consolidate her foundation, but had never taught her the real method of cultivation.

Although Gu Yue had been taught a breathing method by Yang Qingying, who had ulterior motives, that method could only temporarily draw spiritual energy into the body, but the body could not retain the spiritual energy. It could only subtly strengthen the physical condition.

Now that she had just entered the door of cultivation, she was able to achieve results that others would need many days of hard work in just less than an hour. How could Gu Qingshan not be surprised?

"Dad, is this considered a gift?"

As he spoke, Gu Yue raised his arm, showing off his arm muscles in front of his father, and said with a smile.

"Why doesn't it count?"

After praising her for a while, Gu Qingshan said seriously: “Yue’er, next, you need to guide the spiritual energy into your body and find a way to keep it in your body!”

Seeing that Gu Yue still had some doubts on her face, Gu Qingshan continued: "After the spiritual energy enters your body, it will wander around in your body, but it will eventually dissipate back into the world."

"When a cultivator enters the realm of induction, the first stage is called the Sensing Stage. Sensing the spiritual energy is only the first step. The next step is to store the spiritual energy in the body, anywhere!"

"I understand!" After listening to his father's explanation, Gu Yue immediately understood and nodded heavily.

"When the day comes when you can release the spiritual energy in your body and take it back again, you will have reached the peak of the Sensing Realm. Work hard!"

After saying that, Gu Qingshan stood up and rubbed Gu Yue’s head, then turned and walked towards Mo Wanyou who was processing game not far away.

【Time is tight and the task is heavy. 】

【Come on, Gu Yue! 】

After Gu Qingshan left, Gu Yue encouraged herself in her heart, then she calmed down and focused, quickly entering the action of capturing spiritual energy.
