Chapter 729

The Heavenly Scripture was related to whether or not the disaster of Ancient Cang Huang Star could be solved, and it was also related to his family and elders. Gu Chen had no choice at all.

He asked for the stone back and kept it safe.

He had to accept this test, but the risk was too great. Before that, he had to complete some things first.

Gu Chen looked at Elder Nangong, who was in a sickly state, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Back then, elder Nan Gong was captured by the Man with a Bamboo Hat in order to save him and became his experimental subject, suffering from the devastation of the Thousand Poison Body.

Later, he regained his consciousness in the Northern Plains. In order to help Gu Chen defeat Huangfu Wuji and the Man with a Bamboo Hat, he was unwilling to cripple his cultivation. As a result, he had been suffering from the Thousand Poison Body for a long time.

It could be said that Gu Chen owed elder Nan Gong a lot, but for a long time, he had never been able to repay him.

Gu Chen was a person who would repay kindness. He was willing to repay those who helped him in the past, except for elder Nan Gong, who he had never done anything for until now.

After saving everyone this time, Gu Chen felt terrible when he saw that Elder Nangong's Body of Ten Thousand Poison had become so serious.

Therefore, he decided to help him solve his body's problem no matter what!

"Elder, I have a way to help you solve your body's problem, but it will take some risks. I wonder if you are willing?" Gu Chen said. This made Huang Pingzhang, Yuchi Zhong and the other Heavenly Star Sect members happy. They were excited for Nan Gong Zheng.

"Do I need to cripple my cultivation?" Elder Nan Gong hesitated. Now that Ancient Cang Huang Star was facing a disaster, he did not want to become a cripple.

Moreover, as a cultivator, returning to being a mortal was no better than death.

"No need, if this is successful, elder's cultivation can go further." Gu Chen answered seriously.

Elder Nangong's furrowed brows relaxed upon hearing this. "Then I'll listen to you."

He had unconditional trust in Gu Chen. After all, he watched this child grow up.

Gu Chen nodded and said to the others. "Everyone, please leave first."

Therefore, everyone left, leaving only Gu Chen and Elder Nangong.

Gu Chen turned his hand and took out the Woeful Poison Scripture.

The solution to solve elder Nan Gong's problem came from the Woeful Poison Scripture.

With his Immortal Transformation State strength and understanding of the Woeful Poison Scripture, he believed he could completely solve elder Nan Gong's problem.

With his current strength of the Immortal Shedding Realm, coupled with his understanding of the Poison Scripture, he believed that he could completely resolve Elder Nangong's hidden injuries.

"Elder, we're going to start."

Gu Chen said softly. He raised a finger, which instantly turned purplish-black.

…

Half a day later, elder spat a few mouthfuls of blood. Elder Nan Nan Nangong Not. Elder Nan Nily Elder Lin Sect.

"How do you feel?" Gu Chen couldn't hide his exhaustion, but he asked nervously.

Although half a day's time seemed very short, it had consumed a great deal of his mental and physical strength. At the same time, the Woeful Poison Finger Secret Technique was also crippled.

In order to successfully fight poison with poison, Gu Chen injected all the poison contained in the Woeful Poison Finger into Elder Nangong's body, helping him reconstruct his bones.

Although Elder Nangong's Ten Thousand Poison Body was powerful, he was an incomplete test subject for the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

There were tens of thousands of poisons in his body. Although they gave him great power, the various poisons would often clash with each other, causing him to be tortured daily.

The solution that Gu Chen came up with was to inject Elder Nangong with a top-grade poison that was above all poisons.

Using this poison to assimilate other poisons, Elder Nan Gong's problem would naturally be solved. If he was lucky, his cultivation prospects in the Dao of Poison would be even broader.

The idea was simple, but this kind of poison had to satisfy two hard conditions.

The first was that the toxicity of the poison must be far superior to the ten thousand poisons in Elder Nangong's body. The second was that this poison must be compatible with the ten thousand poisons in his body, so as to avoid the situation of mutual destruction.

And these two conditions, the poison of Gu Chen's Woeful Poison Finger just happened to meet all of them!

The poison of the Woeful Poison Finger was extracted by Gu Chen from hundreds of thousands of insect corpses. The toxicity was so strong that even a Heavenly Insight Realm powerhouse would not feel good. Naturally, it was above the ten thousand poisons.

But coincidentally, where did those hundreds of thousands of insect corpses come from?

They were produced after they swallowed the Octopus developed by the Man with a Bamboo Hat!

And those octopuses had been bred by the bamboo hat man after he had used Elder Nangong as a guinea pig to develop an extremely lethal poison. Thus, there was an astonishing connection between the two.

Simply put, Elder Nangong was the container of Gu Chen's Woeful Poison!

Because of this relationship, Gu Chen decided to take the risk of fighting poison with poison.

He had thought of all the theories, and the process of reconstructing the Poison Body was very smooth, but he was still a little nervous, lest something went wrong.

"It's hard to imagine, the problems in the Old Man's body seem to have suddenly been solved!"

Elder Nangong carefully sensed the changes in his body. He was already an old man, but he was so excited that he was somewhat incoherent.

When Gu Chen heard his words, he felt relieved!

It seemed that his speculation was not wrong!

"Elder, not only have your body's problems been solved, but you also have a near-perfect Woeful Poison Body. This Poison Scripture will be handed over to you."

Gu Chen was sincerely happy for Elder Nangong and handed over the Woeful Poison Scripture in his hand to him.

Although he lost the powerful combat skill of the Woeful Poison Finger, it was also exchanged for Elder Nangong's rebirth.

From now on, his talent in the Poison Dao would truly be outstanding, and Gu Chen knew that the Woeful Poison Scripture could only be used to its greatest effect in his hands.

Elder Nangong did not argue and happily took the Woeful Poison Scripture.

"The Old Man never thought that there would be such a day. I feel that the Old Man's strength has improved by leaps and bounds."

He rubbed his chin, and it was rare for him to be happy.

"Elder's current cultivation is probably at the Transcendence Realm, but because of the uniqueness of the poison in your body, if you are caught off guard, even a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert would suffer a little."

Gu Chen said with a smile, and he also explained the cultivation realms of the Immortal Spirit Continent.

"I didn't expect the cultivation world to be far vaster than the Old Man imagined, and you have now grown to a level that the Old Man had never imagined before."

Elder Nangong sighed. Now that Gu Chen was already 76 years old, he looked much more mature, but he could not forget the 69-year-old him who had just stepped into the Wuchen Sect.

At that time, Gu Chen was so inconspicuous, and because he could not cultivate elemental energy, he was looked down upon by many, but he never gave up on cultivation. In terms of willpower, no one of his age could compare to him.

Sometimes, he thought that the reason why Gu Chen was able to reach this stage today was because of the willpower that he had cultivated in those two years of not cultivating elemental energy.

If not for the two years of willpower tempering, he might have died under the pursuit of the Underworld God Palace.

The world was like this. Who knew if it was a blessing in disguise?
