Huang Ting felt a little uneasy, it was too sudden. He took out the Fire Line Gu immediately and observed his surroundings vigilantly.
But Huang Ting stayed in this blank space for a long time, and nothing unusual happened. He couldn't help but frown. Where was he?
Then he acted decisively, stretched out his finger, and a fiery red line flashed, hitting the clouds at the edge of the space. In an instant, the temperature rose sharply, the clouds turned red, and rolled and boiled.
Finally, when the clouds at the edge settled, nothing changed.
Huang Ting was surprised and uncertain, and continued to activate the Fire Line Gu, and red rays flashed in the space.
Rumble, a series of explosions sounded in the quiet blank space, and the clouds and mist on the edge shattered layer by layer, and then regenerated inch by inch, as if it would never end.
When Huang Ting had used up all his true energy and was about to stop hesitating, the empty spaces in his body suddenly regained their original state of being full of true energy, and a green sea of energy rose and fell.
Ah...this?!
Huang Ting was stunned, then he vaguely guessed a possibility.
He said in a deep voice: "Return!"
In an instant, the world in front of Huang Ting changed unpredictably. The colorful glow faded and turned into darkness, just like the inside of a tent.
"Sure enough, this is a dream!"
Seeing this, he let out a long breath, cheered himself up and stood up. He looked inward and saw an exquisite colorful mirage insect swimming happily.
"Is this the effect of my natal Gu? It generates a dream. It is indeed a dream Gu."
Huang Ting could hardly suppress his excitement. He had originally planned to slowly explore the effects of the mysterious insect, but unexpectedly, a dream accidentally triggered its effects.
Next, he pondered for a moment, and decisively mobilized his true energy to inject it into the body of the seven-colored mirage worm to activate the poisonous insect.
Instantly, his consciousness sank into obscurity, and a familiar blank dreamscape emerged, with his own figure emerging...
"Hahaha, after searching everywhere for something, there's always a new path."
Huang Ting was overjoyed. Now that he had initially figured out the effect of the insect, he could explore it further.
Soon after he repeatedly entered and exited the dream, he confirmed the effect of the mysterious insect. The most important thing was to construct a dream space that was almost the same as reality.
The energy consumption to activate this poisonous insect is almost zero, and it requires more thoughts to maintain it, so maintaining the dream for a long time will make you feel mentally exhausted.
Secondly, the time flow in dreams and reality is 3:1, one hour in reality is equal to three hours in dreams.
Huang Ting understood exactly what this meant. It meant his training time would be three times that of an average person! Furthermore, the virtual dream realm contained unlimited True Energy, allowing him to activate the Gu worms infinitely. The actual training effect would be dozens, even hundreds, of times greater than that of others!
"Of course, there's also a limit on thought consumption. In my current state, if I want to ensure sufficient energy during the day, it's best to dream train for two hours every night and sleep for the remaining four hours!"
He slowly estimated that it would be great if there were soul-path and wisdom-path poisonous insects to be used together. The former could strengthen the spirit and soul, while the latter could generate thoughts and provide unlimited nourishment for dream training.
"Wisdom Path Gu worms are rare, but Soul Path Gu worms are not. They are evergreen and can be purchased if you have the chance."
Huang Ting thought to himself that he was full of confidence in the future. After discovering the function of the dream insect, he would have to change his future plans.
Originally, he planned to major in the Dao of Fire before becoming an immortal. Firstly, the Western Desert was rich in resources and had strong combat power. Secondly, it also had potential to be tapped in the later stages. In the future, the sun would collapse, and most of the debris would fall into the Western Desert. The Dao of Fire would flourish, and a nine-turn supreme immortal Gu [Fire Gu] would be born.
Wait until you become an immortal before exploring the Dream Path to follow the trend of the times. Currently, there are too few Dream Path poisonous insects among mortals.
As for other schools, there are also many opportunities in Huang Ting's memory, such as Qidao. When the great era comes, [Qichao] appears, which is also a trend. However, the early stage of the plot is extremely lonely and the transition is difficult, so it is not adopted.
As for having them all, that is unrealistic. After all, human energy is limited. It is not easy to specialize in one thing and create a name for yourself.
If all schools of thought are involved, then one will know a little bit of everything but be good at nothing, the combat system will not be formed, and one will be easily defeated.
Just like the four poisonous insects in Huang Ting's hands, they have all kinds of skills. At first glance, they seem to have a lot of tricks, but in fact their combat effectiveness is average.
Now that he has the Dream-Drawing Gu, he can devote a lot of energy to practicing multiple paths and mastering them all. He plans to include the Dao of Refining and the Dao of Wisdom in the list. The former is related to the refining of Gu and is the foundation of everything, while the latter is necessary to guard against the will of heaven and the calculations of powerful beings!
"Besides, I'm not afraid of getting hurt in dreams. I can even practice my [killing moves]!"
Huang Ting's eyes were sharp. What was a killing move? It was when several poisonous insects cooperated with each other, creating a mysterious connection between their functions and unleashing super strong power.
Theoretically, any poisonous insects can be combined to form a killing move, but in reality, due to energy and financial constraints, killing moves can only be created after reaching the third level, when various poisonous insects are powerful and have common characteristics.
This common point is that they are of the same school and can also benefit each other.
Even so, it would take a lot of effort from the Gu Master, and repeated failures and injuries would make it possible to create one. There are many legends in the Gu world about people who were seriously injured in order to create a killer move.
It is said that the Huang family's true teachings on the Dao of Fire only record three fifth-turn killing moves, and a dozen or so fourth-turn and third-turn killing moves derived from them.
"And I don't have that concern. I have plenty of time."
Huang Ting was full of confidence. Even if the four poisonous insects in his hands were useless and had no connection to each other, as long as he had enough time, he could still create a killing move!
There are no useless poisonous insects, only poison masters without talent!
"I'm probably a rare Gu Master who attempts to develop a killer move right after his first transformation, right?"
Huang Ting thought for a moment, and it didn't make sense. According to his memory of the original novel, it seemed that a guy named Sand Owl used three logistics insects to create a killing move.
However, this person is the protector of the unprecedented [Demon Lord Stealing Heaven], so his talent is naturally extraordinary. It just so happens that Demon Lord Stealing Heaven is a demon from outer space who came from the Western Desert, and the poisonous insects he uses include clear water poison and sand pit poison.
He felt that by following this template and spending time to modify it, he would be able to successfully recreate the killer move.
Of course, Huang Ting's top priority is to improve the Fire Line Gu's attack proficiency.
Huang Ting closed his eyes and thought, and soon another figure appeared in the quiet dream space. It was his uncle Huang Shayuan.
He smiled with a kind and filial smile and said to the shadow in his dream, "Run away."
In an instant, he raised his hand and a red line shot out!
Time passed slowly, about two hours.
Huang Ting woke up from the dream and was extremely exhausted. He fell asleep immediately and snoring sounds were heard in the tent.
Early in the morning, Huang Ting opened his eyes and got up. The caravan packed up and set off again. He recalled the training in his dream last night with a bitter expression. He had fought for two hours but didn't hit a single target.
After all, my uncle Huang Shayuan is a third-level strongman, experienced and extremely fast, so he is not someone he can hit.
But he didn't have a better practitioner for the time being. There was a prerequisite for participating in the dream, which was that he needed to be very familiar with this person. Only his uncle had shown off his strength in front of him, and other Gu Masters didn't know much about him.
"Hey, take it slow. If you get used to playing high-level games, you might be able to crush even a rank one or two Gu Master."
Huang Ting was in pain and happy at the same time. He was very stubborn and had been defeated repeatedly, but he was not discouraged at all.
He named his natal Gu [Yanmeng Gu]. It was amazing that a first-level Gu could have such an effect. It was worthy of being the Dream Dao. No wonder it was said that the Great Dream Immortal Venerable would be the most powerful Venerable throughout the ages, far surpassing the previous ten Venerables.
Besides this, Huang Ting had another vague worry, which was what kind of food to feed the Dream-Dream Gu. He really couldn't conjure up rare dream Gu materials now!
Huang Ting had no idea and could only take it one step at a time. He had to keep the good Gu. There were many ways to feed the Gu worms. For example, there was a one-time consumable Gu worm, and the second level [Feeding Gu] was used to feed the Gu worm once.
Feeding a first-level poisonous insect with a second-level poisonous insect is certainly a luxury, but it is worth it.
The days in the caravan passed one by one, and they were getting closer and closer to the Flame Wolf Desert. Huang Ting practiced hard day and night, and even the other Gu Masters in the caravan were moved and began to practice.
The caravan leader Huang Xia nodded with satisfaction when he saw Huang Ting's hard practice. There are many people who work hard, but few can persist every day.
She decided to invest in Huang Ting and called her uncle Huang Shayuan.
Huang Shayuan asked, "What's the matter, Chief?"
Huang Xia smiled slightly, and turned her fair jade hand over. A poisonous insect that looked like a silkworm was crawling in the palm of her hand. The whole body was shining with pearly white light, and it was plump and looked very cute.
"This is..."
Huang Shayuan was shocked.
