Chapter 273 - Out of Seclusion, the Realm of Saints!

Under the System’s control, Gu Xi’s body finally returned to normal.

Although his body size had returned to normal, the spiritual energy in his body did not decrease at all. Instead, it was compressed and condensed together.

This was similar to the refining of spiritual herbs, refining the spirit herbs in order to condense the last drop of inconspicuous essence.

Gu Xi continued to sit cross-legged on the spot and entered into a state of seclusion.

Little Jin, who was by the side, sighed in relief when he saw that Gu Xi was fine. Its body shook and it disappeared from the spot.

What it needed to do was to ensure Gu Xi’s absolute safety before he woke up.

…

Time flew by, alternating between day and night.

The bloody man, whose entire body was covered in blood scabs, still did not have the slightest movement.

When the sun rose for the 15th time, a slight cracking sound was heard.

Crack–

The sound was very soft, but it was so obvious in this quiet valley, even a little ear-piercing.

A golden carp appeared in front of the bloody man almost in an instant, looking at the bloody man with eyes full of joy and anticipation.

It could faintly feel that the time had come.

As expected, in the next moment, the cracking sounds suddenly became more frequent.

One after another, the bloody scabs on the bloody man’s body began to break and fall from top to bottom.

Soon, the bloody scabs fell clean, revealing a slightly thin but somewhat robust body.

Gu Xi closed his eyes tightly. If it were not for his well-proportioned breathing, one would think that someone had abandoned a statue here.

He still did not move, like an old monk in meditation.

Fifteen minutes… two hours…

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xi’s eyelashes slightly trembled.

Immediately after, a vast and mighty pressure surged out from his body and began to spread in all directions.

The speed of the spread was not fast, but it was very steady.

Wherever it passed, it suppressed all the demon beasts within a radius of nearly a hundred miles in an absolutely crushing manner.

Compared to Little Jin’s divine beast pressure, it was even better.

This pressure came slowly, but it was withdrawn very quickly.

In a breath’s time, the majestic pressure returned to Gu Xi’s body.

At the same time, that pair of eyes that had been tightly shut for half a month slowly opened.

There was no shocking aura, and there wasn’t the slightest bit of chaotic spirit energy. At first glance, the current Gu Xi looked like an ordinary person who had never cultivated in his life.

Everything was hidden in his body.

He stood up and changed into a brand new green robe. Then, he slowly stretched his body.

“Is this… the realm of Saints?”

Gu Xi opened his right hand to take a look, and a smile appeared on his face.

He could feel that this seemingly ordinary body was hiding a terrifying power. Even compared to his previous peak, he was much stronger.

That’s right, with the medicinal properties of the Snowfall Fungus, not only did he successfully recover to the Quasi-saint stage, he even used this opportunity to break through to the Saint stage!

The current Gu Xi had the feeling that he could destroy everything with a flip of his hand.

“How long have I been in closed-door cultivation?”

When he came back to his senses, Gu Xi smiled and looked at Little Jin.

’15 days.’ Little Jin’s voice sounded in his mind.

“It’s been so long.” Gu Xi raised his eyebrows. This time was obviously out of his expectations.

If he woke up a little later, the competition would have ended by then. This was still considered good. If he was trapped in this planar battlefield and could not get out, he would be finished.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi hurriedly took out the jade pendant and glanced at the rankings.

The first place was still the Vast Expanse Sword Domain with 34,761 points.

The second place made Gu Xi a little surprised. The Hehuan Sect had 32,198 points.

The third place was the Liuli Sect with 31,060 points.

The fourth place was the Raging Fire Valley with 30,980 points.

The fifth place was the Star Pavilion with 30,810 points.

The sixth place was the Yunxiao Sect with 27,724 points.

Seventh Place, Flying Star Sect, 25,438.

What surprised Gu Xi, even more, was that the Daluo Sect, the organizer of this competition, had come in eighth place with 21,497 points!

There was a full 10,000 points difference from the first place!

Just a little more and the Daluo Sect’s ranking would fall out of the top 10.

“Looks like something interesting has happened in the past half a month.”

The corners of Gu Xi’s mouth lifted slightly, and then his face turned ugly again.

Right now, their Medicine King Valley’s score was only 9,946 points!

They had not even broken through 10,000…

Those points that he painstakingly obtained to land them in the leading position…

They had once again been surpassed.

“Forget it, let’s continue to work hard.” Gu Xi sighed slightly, shook his head, and kept the jade pendant.

Although he had already obtained the Snowfall Fungus and successfully refined and absorbed it, this did not mean that he would give up on this competition.

Obtaining a good ranking for Medicine King Valley could also be considered as repaying Wu Nanshan’s favor.

Although the difference in points was very large, it was not that there was no chance to recover it.

At the very least, the points had increased again. This meant that Liu Qingqing and the others were safe and sound.

This was the first good news after they woke up.

Gu Xi did not stay here any longer. She called Little Jin back and once again set foot on the path of hunting demon beasts.

…

In the depths of the mountain range.

Roar roar roar!

The mournful screams of the demon beasts rang out, and then the sounds came to an abrupt stop.

With a loud bang, Gu Xi’s figure slowly walked out of the forest.

After this period of endless slaughter, the Medicine King Valley’s points had already reached more than 10,000 points. However, compared to the top ten sects, the efficiency of this increase in points could be said to be negligible.

Although Gu Xi’s current realm had improved considerably, he still did not have an advantage over those sects and factions that had locations where the demon beasts gathered.

If he could know the locations of a few demon beast gathering points, he was confident that he could surpass everyone before the end of the competition!

However, information about demon beast gathering points was an absolute secret in the competition. No one was willing to tell others what they knew for nothing.

Of course, there were some exceptions.

With this thought in mind, Gu Xi could not help but think about the top ten sects. After all, these guys had increased their points so quickly, so they must have the specific locations of the gathering points of various demon beasts.

At the same time, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and suddenly looked behind him.

“Tsk tsk tsk, after not seeing you for a few days, your perceptive sense has improved quite a bit.”

A few figures slowly walked out of the forest. The person in the lead was Su Lian.

Seeing this, Gu Xi could not help but grin.

Really, speak of the devil!
