Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 289: You know what’s good for you!
Somewhere in the world, there is a huge crack. That crack tears apart the space, stretching for tens of millions of miles and bringing endless horror.
Beneath the cracks were human figures. Most of the men were young men, each of them handsome and with a defiant look; most of the women were pretty girls, graceful and charming.
Each of these people is a genius. Any one of them would be talented enough to sweep across the Thousand Wastelands!
Among them, there was a woman who stood in front of everyone. She was like the moon surrounded by stars, with unparalleled beauty!
The woman's eyes were like autumn water, her skin was like winter snow, her long black hair was like a dark night with spring rain, and the strand of white hair in the darkness was like the first summer thunder in the night.
This girl's name is... Dongfang Yu!
Dongfang Yu looked back at the crack, his autumn eyes were filled with worry and reluctance, as well as determination and firmness, which was very complicated.
In fact, Dongfang Yu was not looking at the crack, but at a "line" that others could not see. But as she looked at it, she felt very aggrieved.
"Humph! Anyway, he definitely doesn't care. I don't want to bother with him. Even if I can't sense that line, he definitely won't be sad..."
Dongfang Yu used the word "affirmative" twice in her heart, which was enough to show how wronged she felt.
But the crack in the sky above gradually closed, and when the endless "line" broke and disappeared, Dongfang Yu couldn't help but imagine Gu Xiaoxing's anxious look after seeing the "line" break.
"Humph! Then let him worry about it. Who told him to go out and hook up with someone so easily that he even has a child? Damn Xiaoxing, he's so scared of death anyway, he won't do anything stupid!"
"But... I miss him so much!" Dongfang Yu murmured almost subconsciously.
But it was this murmur that caused the eyes of a man with a thunder mark on his forehead behind her to suddenly focus. He looked directly at Dongfang Yu and said, "May I ask Saint Xuantian, who is he?"
Dongfang Yu's eyes flashed with coldness . He glanced at the man and said in a cold and calm voice, "What does it have to do with you?"
The man frowned visibly when he heard that, but his eyes did not hide anything at all as he just stared straight at Dongfang Yu.
Suddenly, the coldness in Dongfang Yu's eyes became even stronger, and the snow-white sky palace behind him was looming. A tremendous pressure spread in all directions, and everyone present felt their bodies tense up.
Even the man trembled slightly, and finally retracted his gaze and lowered his head slightly.
"Pay attention to your identity. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily!" Dongfang Yu snorted coldly, then he withdrew his power, and the Heavenly Palace behind him also dissipated .
Then, Dongfang Yu looked forward, his eyes became firm, and he murmured again: "There are still ten years, the last ten years...!"
Outside the small wasteland, Gu Xiaoxing had been sitting cross-legged in the air. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and a few more strands of white hair appeared among his gray hair.
This is the price of fate.
This is how things are in the world. If you want to get something, you have to choose to lose something in return. This price is the way of this world. Anyone who cannot transcend it will be restricted by this way!
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing is using his own lifespan to deduce the life and death of a person!
The lifespan of a Jindan stage is only a thousand years. Even though Gu Xiaoxing's strength exceeds that of a Jindan stage, his lifespan cannot exceed this limit. In just three days, he has consumed a hundred years of his lifespan.
If the consumption of the previous life-control technique is taken into account, Gu Xiaoxing now only has less than 500 years left to live. For a Jindan, 500 years is really not a lot. If Gu Xiaoxing fails to break through to Yuanying within 500 years, he will die!
However, Gu Xiaoxing believed that he would not need so much time to break through his cultivation. Even if his situation was special, two hundred years would be enough for him to break through. So he continued to perform the Life-Controlling Technique without any scruples.
Before this, whether it was Qiao Yanran or Lu Linger, Gu Xiaoxing could easily sense the changes in their fate, but why did the situation change when they came to Dongfang Yu?
"Why is Dongfang Yu's fate so unpredictable?!" Gu Xiaoxing was almost furious.
Until this moment, Gu Xiaoxing still didn't believe that Dongfang Yu would die. He would rather believe that it was only because Dongfang Yu was special, because she had a father who was above the level of a god.
Even though this is just a truth for Gu Xiaoxing, and knowing it or not cannot change anything, this truth is very important to Gu Xiaoxing, so he must know this truth no matter how great the price.
Perhaps, the fact that she still cannot sense the change in her destiny now already shows the truth.
But, Gu Xiaoxing didn't believe it!
He didn't believe that Dongfang Yu would die!
So, he continued to perform the life-control technique madly. Three days later, and three more days later, when the ninth day passed, most of Gu Xiaoxing's hair had turned white, with only some strands of gray hair mixed in.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xiaoxing's face still looked like a young man, he would look like an old man at this moment, and the aura of decadence surrounding him had become much stronger than before.
This kind of twilight aura cannot be seen, but it can be sensed when one's cultivation reaches a certain level. The thicker the twilight aura is, the closer it is to death. Moreover, this kind of death due to the exhaustion of lifespan cannot be prevented even by gods!
And now, Gu Xiaoxing only has two hundred years left to live... less than!
But at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing finally no longer felt endless darkness. He saw a little light in the darkness. Although it was only a very faint spot of light, and Gu Xiaoxing could not even deduce anything from it, it represented the change in Dongfang Yu's fate!
Dongfang Yu is still alive!
“You’re smart…!”
Gu Xiaoxing muttered something subconsciously, and then endless fatigue continued to hit him, making his mind suddenly become extremely dizzy, and finally he fell into a coma completely.
In fact, Gu Xiaoxing's guess was correct. The reason why he spent so much effort to deduce the change in Dongfang Yu's fate was really because of Dongfang Yexuan.
At the level of incarnation, one can already conceal some causes and effects.
After Gu Xiaoxing lost consciousness, the faint pulling force that had always existed behind him began to pull him slowly towards the dusty sky.
When Gu Xiaoxing was completely submerged in the dusty sky, a powerful pressure began to crush his body madly. Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxing's body was strong enough, and although he was unconscious, his cultivation was still running on its own, instinctively protecting his body and preventing him from suffering too much harm.
However, due to the dusty sky, the lone star is falling faster and faster. Although the pressure from the sky itself will become weaker and weaker, the resistance and friction it encounters will become stronger and stronger.
Gradually, Gu Xiaoxing turned into a huge falling fireball, like a meteorite falling from the sky.
