The devouring continued!


    At this moment, Master Qin, who had been lying dormant on Gu Mingzhou''s shoulder, suddenly jumped up. With a sh of purple light, he instantly entered the sea a hundred meters away, causing waves.


    "Step back!" Zhao Qiankun didn''t care about Master Qin at all. His eyes were fixed on Gu Mingzhou. As Master Qin dashed out, he quickly retreated and said in a deep voice.


    Jing Wudao rose to his feet almost at the same time as Zhao Qiankun''s warning, and he retreated swiftly.


    Just as Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao were retreating, a heat wave suddenly burst out from Gu Mingzhou''s body.


    A heat wave that was hard to detect with the naked eye was like a bubble that suddenly popped into the sea. It spread instantly and burst.


    Even though Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao had retreated several miles in advance, they could still feel the scorching heating at them. Their faces were burning, and they had no choice but to retreat.


    Gu Mingzhou, who was bent over on the back of the teal-eyed toad, was not moved at all. He buried his head in the broken meat and sucked hard, like a baby drinking milk. It was very inelegant.


    Not only did the flush on Gu Mingzhou''s face not subside, but it became even more intense. It was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out, making people worry.


    Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao couldn''t help but frown in worry.


    Zhao Qiankun, in particr, had wanted to help Gu Mingzhouplete the use of the Heavenly Devouring Technique in the shortest time possible. To improve Gu Mingzhou''s cultivation.


    After all, even though Gu Mingzhou was already in the mortal realm, it would still take a long time for him to cross the chasm and reach the earth realm.


    Especially in this world, even though the Qing Emperor''s restrictions had been broken, the demonic energy that had been confined had been released, and spiritual power was recovering.


    However, the space between heaven and earth was sorge that even if there were no restrictions now, it would still take a long time for it to return to normal, or at least reach the recovered spiritual energy concentration of the great world.


    Zhao Qiankun had said before that the path of cultivation was to be steady and steady. Otherwise, there would be many obstacles in theter stages, and they might even encounter bottlenecks that were difficult to ovee.


    However, this was a special period. It was obviously unrealistic for Gu Mingzhou to progress steadily. There was not much time left for him. He had to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.


    Gu Mingzhou naturally understood this, and he really did not have much time.


    His parents had passed away a long time ago. Even if there was a technique to bring the dead back to life, the longer they dragged on, the more changes would ur. There are many powerful people, and any one of them could easily kill the nineher poisonous hedgehog and Shangguan Fei. The risk was too great.


    In the outside world, there was still the powerful Xu Fengyu waiting for him. In this world, there were also the nineher poisonous hedgehog, Shangguan Fei, and the others who could endanger his life at any time.


    It was said that another powerful being had appeared in the great Zhou Dynasty. He Chuan, the husband of Empress Changning, was the one who had killed Meng Ao.


    Although he had no conflict with He Chuan now, who knew if they would meet again in the future?


    All of this forced him to raise his cultivation as soon as possible.


    Even if Gu Mingzhou did not want to cultivate the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique, which seemed powerful but was actually extremely cruel, he had no choice but to cultivate it. He even followed Zhao Qiankun''s arrangement and devoured Wu Ji patriarch''s cultivation who he was familiar with.


    Although it looked brutal, Gu Mingzhou had no choice but to do it.


    And since he chose to do it, not only could he not go back on his word, he had to do it beautifully.


    Therefore, when he used the first revolution of the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique to devour Wu Ji patriarch''s cultivation base, he felt a burning sensation that pierced his bone marrow and soul. He endured it silently and determinedly.


    It was a burning pain. The mes seemed to be spreading from the inside out. First, it burned his internal organs, then his bones and muscles, and finally his skin and flesh.


    From the moment Gu Mingzhou bit through the tender meat in the teal-eyed toad''s meat, the bitter green blood gushed into his mouth, and the hot feeling instantly prated Gu Mingzhou''s throat.


    As he subconsciously circted the Heavenly Devouring Technique, the scorching heat that almost spread from his mouth to his abdomen was not absorbed and weakened. Instead, it was like adding oil to the fire.


    Instantly, it rose up from his internal organs as if it was going to burn his entire internal organs, causing his body temperature to rise.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Then, extremely thin white smoke rose from his body and floated into the sky with hot air.


    Large drops of sweat dripped from his face.


    The drop fell on the twitching body of the teal-eyed toad and fell into pieces, falling into the sand.


    Gu Mingzhou''s face was flushed red, and he was sweating profusely.


    It wasn''t just his face, his entire body was sweating profusely, especially his back, which was already soaked in sweat.


    The strange thing was that therge beads of sweat that kept flowing down Gu Mingzhou''s face fell to the ground, but they did not leave any water stains on the sand.


    This was because the heat waves that were constantly emitted from Gu Mingzhou''s body were too hot, so much so that the beads of sweat had already evaporated in the process of falling.


    Jing Wudao, who had already retreated to the seaside, subconsciously clenched his fists and made a "cracking" sound. He looked at Gu Mingzhou nervously, his face full of worry.


    "Old Zhao! Aren''t you being a little too hasty? After all, Gu Mingzhou has just started practicing the Heavenly Devouring Technique..." Jing Wudao did not look at Zhao Qiankun when he spoke. However, Zhao Qiankun did not notice it at all.


    Or rather, he was not in the mood to pay attention to anyone or anything other than Gu Mingzhou.


    "Don''t worry, I trust him!" Zhao Qiankun pursed his dry lips and stared at Gu Mingzhou as he spoke in a deep voice.


    He was waiting and also on guard.


    If Gu Mingzhou showed any signs of abnormality, he would not hesitate to consume his soul power and take Gu Mingzhou away.


    Right now, Zhao Qiankun was starting to regret his decision.


    He felt that he was too anxious, or perhaps he had overestimated the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique, which was why Gu Mingzhou was in danger.


    Gulp, gulp... Gu Mingzhou frowned and swallowed arge mouthful of blood.


    The taste was a little bitter, a little sweet, and a little numb...


    Furthermore, there seemed to be a strange aura slowly entering Gu Mingzhou''s body.


    There was more of that scorching aura. Every mouthful of blood he swallowed felt like he was swallowing charcoal.


    His entire body twitched, and the pain was indescribable.


    In particr, the strange aura that Gu Mingzhou felt made him feel even more ufortable. He felt ufortable all over and twitched even more.


    Gu Mingzhou was not the only one twitching. The hill-sized teal-eyed toad was also twitching.


    Although it had been severely injured by Jing Wudao and was on the verge of death, it was still alive.


    However, he could still feel and sense it.


    Previously, it did not understand the meaning of Zhao Qiankun and Gu Mingzhou''s conversation. Even when Gu Mingzhou pried open the saa on his back and bit open his skin, he was still very confused.


    The confusion didn''tst for long. As the firm and stable Dao foundation in his Dantian gradually cracked...


    When it flowed along his meridians to the ce where Gu Mingzhou had bitten it, this old toad that had lived for more than a hundred years finally understood Gu Mingzhou''s actions.


    The other party was devouring his cultivation!
