BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 144: Breaking Through to the Four-Star Dou Ancestor

Endless pain! It felt like being in purgatory.

Every part of Gu He's body was conveying the meaning represented by this word.

But for him, besides enduring the torment, he had no other option. However, amid the suffering, the only comforting thing was that he could clearly feel that, with the spreading of the burning pain in his body, powerful energy was gradually radiating from those burning areas.

He noticed that after the burning, the bone marrow, bones, meridians, cells, muscles, and more in his body were all gradually undergoing a transformation.

Evidently, this so-called marrow purification and body tempering truly had immense effects.

"Hold on!"

Gu He continued to console himself. After enduring such a long time, perhaps due to numbness, he suddenly felt a bit absent-minded.

In this state of distraction, it seemed that the intense burning pain in his body had also diminished quite a bit. After such a prolonged period of pain, he had built some resistance.

The suffering gradually passed in extremely slow time. Eventually, Gu He had completely fallen into a kind of dazed half-awake state.

In this almost bewildered perception, he had forgotten the concept of time. The only thing he could feel was that with the burning pain gradually subsiding, his bones, meridians, cells, and more were becoming purer and more resilient.

...

"Nalan Senior Sister, you've come."

In Gu He's courtyard, Senior Sister Nalan looked at the arrival of Xiao Yi Xian with surprise in her eyes.

Hearing Senior Sister Nalan's address, Xiao Yi Xian's face displayed a hint of embarrassment.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes revealed a hint of determination as she slowly spoke, "You should call me Senior Sister from now on."

In Xiao Yi Xian's view, she was the latest to join, so she should call Senior Sister Nalan. It's just that when she thought of her previous position as "Junior Sister Xian'er," suddenly turning into "Second Senior Sister," Xiao Yi Xian felt rather complicated and embarrassed.

Well, it's her fault for joining so late.

Xiao Yi Xian felt a little hurt.

Senior Sister Nalan, looking puzzled, said, "Call you Senior Sister?"

She didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Yi Xian's words.

Xiao Yi Xian explained, "Now that I've become a disciple under our master, the two of us are officially fellow disciples. I joined the latest, so I should address you as Senior Sister."

Senior Sister Nalan smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiao Yi Xian. I'm used to being called Senior Sister. Now that it's changing, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Nalan hesitated and asked, "Will our master mind?"

She had just recently joined and wasn't clear about the rules among our master's disciples. She thought she should follow the rules and not upset our master.

Xiao Yi Xian explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. Our master's disciples don't have many rules. As long as you don't betray the sect, our master won't mind."

"I see..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Senior Sister Nalan felt relieved.

No rules?

Would that mean her position as Senior Sister could be preserved?

In fact, she didn't mind calling Xiao Yi Xian Senior Sister. After all, they were close in age, and they got along well. Senior Sister or Junior Sister didn't matter to Senior Sister Nalan.

However...

Senior Sister Nalan glanced at Little Qinglin, who was enjoying pastries in the pavilion.

This young girl joined before her. According to the rules, wouldn't she also have to call Little Qinglin Senior Sister? That would be quite embarrassing for Senior Sister Nalan.

After all, as the Sect Leader's direct disciple, she had always been addressed as the Big Senior Sister.

Now, hearing Xiao Yi Xian's explanation, Senior Sister Nalan felt a bit more at ease.

Senior Sister Nalan looked around the courtyard and asked Xiao Yi Xian, "Xian'er, I've come to pay my respects to our master. But it seems he's in seclusion?"

"In seclusion?"

Hearing this, Senior Sister Nalan was momentarily stunned, feeling a bit disappointed.

"Did our master say when he'll come out?"

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head and said, "Master said he would be in seclusion for a few days, so it shouldn't take too long."

Seeing Nalan Yanran's disappointed expression, Xiao Yi Xian consoled her, "I'll inform you as soon as our master comes out."

Nalan Yanran nodded and said, "Alright."

She then left the courtyard.

...

In an unknown mountain range.

Inside a dim cave.

At this moment, Gu He was sitting cross-legged in a wooden tub, and the scorching sensation within his body had gradually subsided at some point.

After a considerable amount of time had passed, the burning pain had finally faded away completely.

With the vanishing of the pain, Gu He's previously dazed mind suddenly cleared.

Gu He hurriedly scanned his inner self with his consciousness and was astounded to find that the rainbow-colored hues that had once filled his body were completely gone.

Now, his bones, meridians, and other parts emitted a faint radiance, resembling white jade, giving the impression of containing boundless power.

The awakening of his consciousness acted like a key. Suddenly, his once silent inner self began to operate like a sophisticated machine, commencing its first operation after the transformation.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound echoed within his body, leaving Gu He staring in astonishment as an enormous energy surged forth from every corner of his body. For a moment, he was somewhat distracted.

In Gu He's momentary distraction, those immense, pure energies voluntarily flowed into his meridians.

If it were in the past, the influx of such a colossal energy would have certainly caused his meridians to throb painfully. However, now, as the energy flowed in, his meridians expanded and contracted flexibly, accommodating these enormous energies without causing Gu He any pain.

This energy was extremely vast and shockingly pure, to the extent that it required no refining from Gu He.

Furthermore, for some unknown reason, this energy didn't resist Gu He in the slightest; it flowed with ease, almost as if it were obediently responding to his commands.

As the vast energy circulated along the meridian pathways, after one cycle, it rushed into the Dou Crystal within the cyclone like an erupting mountain torrent, causing a continuous booming sound.

Under this deluge of energy, the pigeon egg-sized Dou Crystal began to visibly expand at an eye-catching speed.

Thump, thump, thump! As a series of muffled sounds resounded, a powerful pressure erupted from Gu He's body, sweeping out of the cave.
