BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 537 – Reviving the Heavenly Flame!

On Gu You’s end, there was no need to travel to the Central Plains to seek out some powerful Dou Venerate. Now that he had broken through and become a one-star Dou Saint, his status in the Hall of Souls allowed him to kill any Dou Venerate within the organization under any pretense, and no one dared to question it.

Soon after, Gu You summoned the four Hall of Souls Dou Venerates stationed at his branch and began questioning them about certain matters.

Suddenly, one of them hesitated slightly in his response. Without a word, Gu You raised his palm and smashed it down upon the man’s skull, instantly killing him.

Witnessing this, the remaining three Dou Venerates didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

“Out!”

After finishing off the man, Gu You barked at the rest. The three remaining Dou Venerates quickly departed in silence.

Once they had left, Gu You collected the corpse of the slain Dou Venerate and tore open a spatial rift before swiftly leaving the Hall of Souls branch.

Within just one day, the Hall of Souls’ Second Heaven Venerable Gu You, Fourth Heaven Venerable Blood River, and Ninth Heaven Venerable Demon Rain gathered all the medicinal ingredients Gu He had requested. The three met and handed everything to Gu You—the strongest and fastest of them—who then set off toward the Northern Region of the Central Plains with the ingredients and the body of the Dou Venerate.

…

Back in the Nine-Colored Valley, Gu He emerged from seclusion after seven days and used the Great Spatial Shift Technique to head toward the Northern Region of the Central Plains.

His destination was the same mountainous region where Nalan Yanran, Han Yue, and Han Xue had once undergone their training.

“Subordinate greets the master!”

As soon as Gu He arrived, Gu You—who had been waiting in advance—immediately bowed deeply with utmost respect.

“Rise,” Gu He said casually, lifting a hand. “Give me the items.”

“Yes, Master!”

At Gu He’s command, Gu You quickly took out the corpse of the Dou Venerate and the ingredients required to refine the Bone-Merging Blood Pill from his storage ring.

“Very well. You may return.”

Gu He waved his hand after receiving the materials, signaling for Gu You to leave.

Once Gu You departed, Gu He summoned the Dragon Soul Cauldron on the spot and began the pill refinement process.

This time, he spent several days refining and ultimately succeeded in producing a Bone-Merging Blood Pill of five-colored pill lightning grade.

Just like the last time, the moment the pill was completed, the powerful energy fluctuations drew countless cultivators rushing toward his location.

Naturally, Gu He didn’t linger. After storing the pill and cauldron, he immediately used the Great Spatial Shift Technique once more, returning to a spatial gate he had previously left behind in the northwest continent.

Upon arriving, Gu He gently traced his finger across a white storage ring. Instantly, the seal on the ring was undone.

The moment the seal was released, a powerful soul force surged out and quickly took the form of an old man in white robes standing before Gu He.

“Venerable Tianhuo, it must’ve been stifling inside that ring for so long,” Gu He said with a faint smile.

Tianhuo Zunzhe waved his hand and chuckled. “Stifling? Not at all. I once spent hundreds of years alone beneath a sea of lava. Compared to that, a year or two inside this ring was nothing.”

Just as he finished speaking, his eyes widened in shock.

“Gu brother, your cultivation…?” Tianhuo Zunzhe asked in astonishment. He could sense an incredibly powerful aura from Gu He—one that was nearly on par with those two white-scaled lizardmen from deep beneath the magma.

“By sheer luck, I’ve stepped into the Dou Saint realm,” Gu He replied calmly.

“Dou Saint!”

Upon hearing Gu He’s words, Venerable Tianhuo immediately understood. His gaze toward Gu He now carried even more respect.

“I didn’t expect Brother Gu to possess such an astonishing cultivation talent!” Venerable Tianhuo sighed in admiration.

“Just luck,” Gu He replied modestly before taking out the body of the Dou Venerate that Gu You had brought.

“This is… whose body?”

Seeing Gu He take out a corpse, Venerable Tianhuo looked puzzled.

“It’s yours,” Gu He said with a smile.

“My body…”

“Brother Gu, you mean…?”

As realization dawned, the confusion on Venerable Tianhuo’s face instantly turned to wild joy.

“Catch!”

Without waiting for more questions, Gu He tossed him the beast-shaped Bone-Merging Blood Pill that he had refined earlier, radiating immense vitality.

“This… is this the legendary Bone-Merging Blood Pill?” Venerable Tianhuo caught the beast-shaped pill and stared at it intently.

“That’s right. This is an eighth-tier Bone-Merging Blood Pill. It can breathe life into a dead body. Once you fuse with it, the body will regenerate into your former appearance,” Gu He confirmed with a nod.

“Many thanks, Brother Gu!” Venerable Tianhuo cupped his fists with gratitude, holding the pill carefully in both hands.

“Save your thanks for after the resurrection. Now, split off a strand of your soul,” Gu He said, waving his hand.

Without hesitation, Venerable Tianhuo separated a wisp of his soul, sending it drifting toward Gu He.

Seeing it, Gu He immediately grabbed the soul strand and slapped it into the Dou Venerate’s body with a palm strike, forcefully inserting the soul within.

“Venerable Tianhuo, I’ll now refine the body. Once it’s done, swallow the pill and enter it to begin the fusion.”

After reminding him, Gu He took out several auxiliary materials and infused them into the body to support the refining process.

Then, Gu He summoned his natal divine flame. Wrapped in soul power, it surged out and engulfed the entire corpse.

“What kind of Heavenly Flame is this? Its power is far greater than the Fallen Heart Flame!”

Seeing Gu He’s divine flame, Venerable Tianhuo’s heart pounded. From it, he felt an aura several times more terrifying than any flame he had ever encountered.

“Venerable Tianhuo, focus. Don’t let your mind wander,” Gu He reminded him upon noticing his reaction.

At his words, Venerable Tianhuo quickly suppressed his excitement and concentrated on observing the refinement.

Gu He’s divine flame was incredibly potent. In just two hours, all the auxiliary materials were fully refined, their energy completely absorbed into the body of the Dou Venerate.

Once the preparations were done, Gu He shouted, “Now!”

Upon hearing the cue, Venerable Tianhuo immediately swallowed the Bone-Merging Blood Pill. His soul form turned into a streak of light and shot into the prepared body of the Dou Venerate.
