Su Hua could tell that Gu Qingfeng was suppressing the Spiritual Power within his body.
She just didn't understand why Spiritual Power needed to be suppressed. Typically, one would only suppress it when severely injured and their internal Spiritual Power was in chaos, to avoid harming the Purple Mansion.
But Gu Qingfeng didn't seem to be severely injured. Could it be that something had gone wrong with his cultivation?
Was he in danger of Qi Deviation?
That didn't seem to be the case either!
Suddenly.
Gu Qingfeng, standing on the Taixuan Platform, was once again enveloped in a shimmering radiance, as if millions of lightning bolts had gathered upon his body and exploded simultaneously. A series of crackling, popping explosions rang out, making one's scalp tingle and their heart shudder with dread. It even caused the surrounding spiritual energy to detonate as well.
What kind of bizarre Spiritual Power was this? It was far too violent!
And how could this guy's Spiritual Power contain so many electrical sparks?
Wait!
Those weren't electrical sparks...
They were...
They were thunder and lightning, and extremely ferocious thunder and lightning at that. Countless bolts of this thunder and lightning were madly exploding within Gu Qingfeng's Spiritual Power.
What was going on?
Su Hua wasn't unfamiliar with violent Spiritual Power, but she had never encountered Spiritual Power as wild and ferocious as Gu Qingfeng's. Especially the might of the thunder and lightning contained within it—its savagery was simply unheard of.
Just as Su Hua was shocked and bewildered, Gu Qingfeng suppressed the Spiritual Power back into his body. At the same time, his True Body seemed unable to withstand it, as his right foot involuntarily shifted back a step. When his right foot landed—BOOM!—a tremendous roar echoed, as if an earthquake had struck, causing the entire Taixuan Platform to tremble violently.
Witnessing this scene, even Su Hua, who had lived two lives, couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
Earlier, the combined efforts of the Ten Little Hidden Dragons, the Thirty-Six Hua Pavilion Young Masters, and others had failed to budge Gu Qingfeng's True Body even an inch. Su Hua had always been curious about just how powerful this guy's True Body was. It was only at this moment that she realized Gu Qingfeng's True Body was far, far more formidable than she had imagined.
This guy had merely failed to fully restrain the force in his right foot, yet it caused the entire Taixuan Platform to quake like an earthquake.
And this was just an unintentional slip. If he were to stomp down with full force, wouldn't the entire Taixuan Platform be instantly reduced to ashes?
Wasn't this too terrifying?
Was this still an ordinary True Body?
Forget ordinary—even various top-tier Creation Treasure Bodies weren't this horrifying!
What left Su Hua even more disoriented was that Gu Qingfeng's incredibly powerful True Body had lost control precisely because he was suppressing his Spiritual Power. In other words, his True Body had been shaken—not by someone else, but by his own rampant Spiritual Power.
Su Hua couldn't imagine just how powerful Gu Qingfeng's True Body was.
She couldn't imagine either just how rampant Spiritual Power had to be to shake such a True Body.
BOOM!—CRACK!
Gu Qingfeng's rampant Spiritual Power flickered in and out of visibility.
When it appeared, it was like millions of lightning bolts exploding, detonating the spiritual energy for hundreds of miles around.
When it vanished, it was like a volcanic eruption or an earthquake, causing violent tremors across a hundred-mile radius.
The scene was utter chaos.
The people gathered on the Taixuan Platform had no idea what was happening. At this moment, they had no time to ponder what was happening; they only wanted to flee this terrifying place.
"Young Master Chiyan, you...
Do you need help?"
Su Hua flashed over. She felt that if things continued like this, people would inevitably die—and many of them. Although she wasn't a saint, she absolutely wouldn't stand by and watch innocent people get caught up in this.
If it were anyone else today, Su Hua would have acted without hesitation to help suppress their power. However, this person was Gu Qingfeng, a guy shrouded in mystery and strangeness from head to toe. Even if Su Hua wanted to help, she didn't know where to start.
"No need."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and replied nonchalantly. He had long anticipated that if he took action today, his Spiritual Power would become uncontrollable. He just hadn't expected it to happen so suddenly. He had overestimated his True Body and underestimated his Spiritual Power. To be precise, he had underestimated the Great Natural Order's Colorful Spirit and that dim Lonely Star Tear. Because when his Spiritual Power went chaotic, these two things seemed to get more and more excited.
The Great Natural Order Seed was becoming increasingly vibrant and full of life force, while that originally dead and silent Lonely Star Tear had inexplicably regained a trace of vitality.
His already chaotic Spiritual Power was further agitated by the immense life force of the Great Natural Order Seed and the Lonely Star Tear, like adding fuel to a fire. The result was predictable. Even though Gu Qingfeng's True Body had once been tempered by the Nine Nethers Ancestral Fire, it was now struggling to hold on.
"Your Spiritual Power looks very chaotic. Are you sure you don't need my help to suppress it?"
Su Hua frowned slightly and asked again.
At that moment, Huode also ran over, asking with concern, "Kid Gu, how are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. It's nothing serious."
Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes, took out a jug of wine, poured a cup, and downed it in one gulp. He looked at Huode and said, "Didn't I tell you to take Little Jinr and leave? Why are you still here? Where's Little Jinr?"
"I handed Little Jinr over to her grandfather. Master Wenzhu took the little girl away long ago."
Watching Gu Qingfeng chat casually with Huode while drinking, Su Hua even began to doubt her own eyes. This guy's Spiritual Power was in such chaotic turmoil, yet he acted as if nothing was wrong—not only sipping wine but also chatting unhurriedly.
How incredibly carefree was he!
Wasn't he worried at all?
Wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress it, leading to his Purple Mansion exploding, his foundation collapsing, or even his True Body shattering?
"Kid, what are you planning to do? Can you suppress it?"
Gu Qingfeng had once explained his situation to Huode, so Huode knew a little about it.
"Looks like I can't suppress it."
"So, are you planning to form your Golden Core?"
Gu Qingfeng drank another cup of wine and sighed somewhat helplessly. "That seems to be the only option."
Not far away, Lan Feier, Shui Yunruo, and the other women were dumbfounded listening to the conversation between Huode and Gu Qingfeng. They might not understand what was happening with Gu Qingfeng, but they could all see that his current situation was very dangerous. Yet, from their conversation, it sounded as if the reason Gu Qingfeng was suppressing his Spiritual Power wasn't because it was chaotic, but because he didn't want to advance his cultivation, so he was suppressing it.
This was truly an unprecedented wonder!
Was there really someone in this world who didn't want to improve their cultivation level?
Everyone wished their cultivation was higher; no one ever complained about their cultivation being too high!
How could this Gu Qingfeng...
Lan Feier and the others were completely unable to comprehend it. Not only them, but even Su Hua was staring at Gu Qingfeng as if he were a monster.
"When do you plan to form your Golden Core?"
"In a little while. I don't know what will happen when I form the core. Let me finish drinking my fill of wine first."
What exactly would form from this Golden Core formation, Gu Qingfeng didn't know. Of course, that wasn't important, and he wasn't particularly interested. What truly worried him was how much the Great Natural Order Seed would grow after he formed his core. That was his real concern.
However, the conversation between the two made Su Hua, Lan Feier, and the others nearby feel a sense of illusion—an illusion of whether they were the idiots or Gu Qingfeng was the idiot.
Because they could all see clearly that Gu Qingfeng's current cultivation level was only at the first level of the Purple Mansion.
He was only at the first level of the Purple Mansion, still a vast distance away from forming a Golden Core, right?
How could he say he was going to form his core in a little while?
What was going on?
Did he have an extra head compared to others?
How could someone at the first level of the Purple Mansion already be considering forming a Golden Core?
