Chapter 340: Five Hundred Years of Cultivation
Chapter 340: Five Hundred Years of Cultivation
After speaking, Gu He lightly stepped down, arriving at the jade platform beside the throne from mid-air.
Once again in close proximity to Gu He, Queen Medusa couldn't help but feel her heart race.
In the past, she had always stood high above, facing countless tribesmen beneath her. But now, in front of Gu He, she appeared incredibly respectful.
As soon as Gu He approached the throne, he caught the unique fragrance emanating from Queen Medusa's body. Coupled with her graceful figure so close to him, Gu He's breathing involuntarily deepened.
In the quiet temple, the sound of Queen Medusa's quickened heartbeat and Gu He's somewhat intoxicated breathing became magnified, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere between them.
"Ahem!"
Noticing the awkwardness, Gu He lightly cleared his throat, breaking the tension.
"Cai Lin, do you remember why I took you as my disciple?" Gu He suddenly asked.
"Disciple remembers! It's because of Cai Lin's unique constitution as a Seven-Colored Swallowing Python!"
Upon hearing Gu He's question, Cai Lin quickly snapped out of the earlier awkwardness, straightening her posture and replying with a serious expression.
As Queen Medusa straightened her back, her proud figure was fully revealed, exuding an alluring charm.
"It's good that you remember. Anyone who becomes my disciple receives three gifts as a greeting present. You must accept all three!"
Faced with such an enticing scene, Gu He almost lost control, so he quickly turned his head away, no longer looking at Cai Lin.
"Three gifts?"
Queen Medusa silently repeated the words in her mind, her long and narrow eyes glancing at the side-turned Gu He. A slender smile appeared at the corner of her red lips.
In an instant, her delicate face was shrouded in a touch of seductive aura.
"Did I not make myself clear?"
Sensing that Queen Medusa hadn't responded, Gu He turned his head slightly to look in her direction.
At that moment, their eyes met. Queen Medusa’s red lips curled into a slight smile.
Queen Medusa was well aware of her own allure, so when she noticed Gu He's subtle reaction, she couldn't help but laugh inwardly, thinking to herself, "So even someone like Master can get shy."
"Master, only three gifts? Isn't that too few?" Cai Lin teased with a light laugh.
"Oh, you think it's too few! Don't worry, it's not just three. Whatever you want, your Master can give you."
Hearing Cai Lin's response, Gu He replied in a serious tone.
Seeing Gu He’s stern expression, Queen Medusa quickly waved her hand, explaining, "Master, Cai Lin was just joking with you earlier. Three gifts are more than enough!"
"Heh, no harm done!"
Just a moment ago, Gu He had genuinely thought Queen Medusa found three gifts insufficient. But now, hearing her explanation, he smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the purple throne in front of him, saying, "Cai Lin, sit back on the throne. I want to give you the first gift."
As Gu He pointed to the purple throne, a trace of curiosity flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes. She gently adjusted the hem of her flowing skirt and sat down gracefully.
"Cai Lin, next, I will transfer my power to you. Don't be alarmed. You must remain calm and fully accept this energy."
"Transfer power?"
Hearing Gu He's words, Queen Medusa was clearly a bit puzzled.
And in the next moment, a pair of fair hands slowly reached towards her body.
Queen Medusa, who had never allowed a man to touch her body, did not resist when she saw this hand approaching. Instead, she tightly closed her eyes.
Immediately after, a warm sensation spread from her forehead.
"I'm about to begin," Gu He said.
Upon hearing this final statement from Gu He, Queen Medusa, with her eyes closed, became a bit nervous. Suddenly, a terrifying energy surged from that hand into her body.
"This is..."
Recalling what Gu He had mentioned earlier, Queen Medusa quickly activated her internal cultivation method, absorbing the massive energy that had entered her body.
In just a moment, she was astonished to find that her newly advanced Five-Star Dou Ancestor realm had already reached a saturated state.
Before she could even feel pleased about this, her cultivation suddenly broke through the bottleneck of the Five-Star Dou Ancestor, advancing to the realm of Six-Star Dou Ancestor.
At this moment, she didn’t have time to ponder what method Gu He was using because the energy surging into her body was so immense that she had to focus entirely on absorbing it.
Shortly afterward, Queen Medusa's cultivation skyrocketed again, directly breaking through to the Seven-Star Dou Ancestor.
And yet, this upward momentum showed no sign of stopping.
Peak of Seven-Star Dou Ancestor.
Eight-Star Dou Ancestor.
Peak of Eight-Star Dou Ancestor.
Nine-Star Dou Ancestor.
It wasn't until she reached the Nine-Star Dou Ancestor that the explosive increase in her aura began to slow down a bit.
Even at this point, Gu He hadn't stopped transferring his power, rapidly elevating her cultivation to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Ancestor.
After reaching the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Ancestor, Queen Medusa began to show signs of breaking through to the Dou Venerate realm.
"This aura... What on earth is happening to Her Majesty? How has her aura skyrocketed to such a terrifying level in such a short time?"
In the vast sky above the grand temple, an enormous energy vortex, hundreds of meters in diameter, began to form, startling Hua She'er and the Medusa Royal Guards stationed outside the temple.
Meanwhile, on the purple throne within the temple, a look of pain appeared on Queen Medusa's otherwise flawless face.
"It seems trying to elevate Cai Lin's cultivation to the Dou Venerate realm in one go is a bit too much," Gu He noted.
Sensing Queen Medusa's condition, Gu He immediately stopped the transfer of power.
At the same time, a notification sounded in Gu He's mind.
"Ding! Detected that the host has bestowed half a year of cultivation to the seventh disciple, Cai Lin. Congratulations to the host for receiving a thousandfold return, granting you five hundred years of cultivation! (Note: This five hundred years of cultivation corresponds to the Five-Star Dou Venerate realm!)"
"Five hundred years of cultivation has been deposited into the system space. Please check and collect it at your convenience!"
As Gu He received the system notification, the massive energy vortex that had just formed above the temple suddenly dispersed.
This change caused Hua She'er, who was guarding outside, to feel a surge of panic.
"Your Majesty!"
Because Queen Medusa had previously instructed that no one was allowed to enter the temple without permission, Hua She'er could only shout loudly from outside.
