Abyss Walker

Chapter 227 Gu Insect

Dugu Jianling asked, "If it's a favor, why not just follow along and go to the God Realm together?"

Yun Muhan could only sit calmly. "What is our purpose in going to the God Realm? What's the point of going there now? Don't let anger cloud your judgment; we must remain calm."

Dugu Jianling: "It's clearly a murder of your wife, yet you remain so calm. It seems... that child, while shocking you, also brought you... composure."

"Initially, I did want to take revenge as soon as possible, but... there are people behind me who need me. I must stay calm. Only by staying calm can I gradually erode the God Realm and become stronger."

Dugu Jianling: "..."

“I will never forget this hatred. No matter how long it takes, I will make those guys pay the price.” Yun Muhan stood up. “Let’s go! There’s still one Demon Infant Flower left, and we haven’t used the Soul-Guiding Grass yet. Combine it with the Netherworld Bodhi Flower and the Bone-Melting Soul-Severing Grass, and we’ll refine a Gu worm now.”

Dugu Jianling: "These materials...they're from that Gu!"

Yun Muhan nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes: "That's right, it's that Gu. Although these materials are extremely dangerous, they can be used to refine that one and only Gu worm, which will be a great weapon for us to deal with the God Realm."

Dugu Jianling fell silent. He knew that the Gu worm Yun Muhan had mentioned was a legendary forbidden object. Once refined, its power would be enough to overturn half of the God Realm.

But he also understood that refining such a Gu worm was extremely risky. If he was not careful, it would backfire on him. And most importantly, it involved the most primal blood.

"Are you sure you want to do this? This is no child's play." Dugu Jianling's voice was deep, carrying a hint of warning.

Yun Muhan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his eyes resolute: "I'm sure. For revenge, for those who suffer because of the God Realm, I'm willing to take this risk."

Dugu Jianling looked at Yun Muhan and finally sighed: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll help you. But we must be careful and not make a mistake at any step."

Yun Muhan looked at Dugu Jianling gratefully: "Thank you, Jianling. With your help, I believe we will definitely succeed."

The two began preparing the materials needed to refine the Gu worms, proceeding with utmost care and caution at every step.

Dugu Jianling reminded him, "The method of refining this Gu worm is quite different, and it also requires a catalyst."

"I know, my blood will do."

Dugu Jianling's brows were filled with confusion, but he didn't say much. He just stood silently to the side, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Perhaps he was waiting for a miracle to happen, or perhaps he just wanted Yun Muhan to experience the taste of failure firsthand.

However, whatever thoughts were hidden deep in his heart, he did not reveal them, but silently watched Yun Muhan's every move.

Time slipped away silently, but the process of refining the Gu worms became increasingly difficult. Each attempt to fuse the materials felt like a struggle against fate.

Those precious and rare materials seem to possess their own spirit, resisting the fate of being forcibly fused together.

Yun Muhan's hands trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he remained focused on controlling his magic power, trying to fuse these unruly materials together.

Dugu Jianling stood to the side, a hint of worry in his eyes, but he did not disturb him, only silently observing every subtle change.

As the refining process progressed, each injection of power became exceptionally difficult.

Yun Muhan's magical power flowed slowly into the array he was crafting, like a gentle stream, making each step incredibly difficult. Dugu Jianling could feel the immense pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

The refining of Gu worms requires extremely high precision and powerful magical control; the slightest mistake will result in the failure of all previous efforts.

Yun Muhan's face gradually turned pale, but his eyes became more and more determined, showing no sign of backing down.

They all knew that only by persevering could they see the light of hope. In this long and arduous process, every minute and every second seemed to stretch out countless times.

Yun Muhan's breathing became rapid, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Dugu Jianling was also filled with tension, but he didn't show it. He just clenched his fists tightly, cheering himself and Yun Muhan on.

Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, the process of refining the Gu worms was nearing its end.

Yun Muhan's hands traced complex trajectories in the air, and his magical power surged into the formation like a tide. Dugu Jianling held his breath, his eyes fixed on the center of the formation.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the formation, tinged with an eerie green. A relieved smile appeared on Yun Muhan's face; the Gu worm had been successfully refined.

As the light gradually faded, a small and exquisite Gu worm appeared in the center of the formation.

Dugu Jianling: This Gu worm that once overturned the entire world has truly appeared. Yun Muhan actually succeeded in refining it. Where did he get the refining method from? Yun Muhan, this kid's identity... is definitely not simple.

It lay quietly in a specially made jade box. Although its appearance was unremarkable, the aura it exuded was chilling.

Yun Muhan carefully put the Gu worm into his ring, then said to Dugu Jianling, "Now, we can begin the next step of our plan."

Dugu Jianling nodded, their gazes both firm and resolute. "Let's set off, return to Tianqi City, and go to the tavern for a drink—no, let's inquire about my fifth true form—the Dugu Yan Sword!"

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling's figures gradually disappeared in the morning light. Their destination was Tianqi City, which Dugu Jianling had already sensed, as the supreme artifact, the fifth sword of Dugu, the Rock, was hidden there.

After several days of trekking, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling finally arrived at Tianqi City.

The hustle and bustle of the city unfolded before them like a lively painting. People came and went on the streets, and the cries of vendors, the clatter of horses' hooves, and the melodious music coming from various shops created the unique rhythm of life in this city.

However, in stark contrast to this excitement was their calm and resolute demeanor.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling's eyes revealed determination and composure; their purpose was clear, and they were unmoved by the surrounding prosperity. Without lingering, they headed directly to the city's most famous tavern—Zui Xian Lou.

Zuixianlou was famous for its fine wines and delicacies and its relaxed environment for exchanging information, making it a good place for people from all walks of life in the city to exchange information and relax.

The tavern's facade was ornately decorated, and the large red lanterns hanging in front of the door were particularly eye-catching under the night sky, attracting passersby.
