Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 307 The Second Barrier World
Like endless void, endless nothingness, endless darkness, and endless black airflow rolling. In this endless space, there is only one bright place, which is a Taoist platform.
There is no barrier or membrane around the platform, but it can isolate the endless black airflow and prevent it from getting close at all.
On the platform, there were dozens of people, most of whom had pale and ugly faces. They were obviously seriously injured and felt resentful, but because of some terrifying existence, they dared not say much and could only keep it in their hearts.
In front of the crowd, there are two people, two young men!
He is extremely handsome, with a gentle temperament, and a slight smile on his face that makes people feel like spring breeze.
The second one is a fair-skinned young man. Although he is not handsome, he is quite handsome. He looks innocent and simple, but his lively eyes are very inconsistent with his temperament, which shows that this person is not as honest as he appears on the surface.
In addition, the young man's white hair, with only a few strands of gray mixed in, that sense of old age, adds a unique temperament to him, making people unforgettable.
Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand and put away all the storage magic weapons in front of him. He did not refine them immediately, but glanced at everyone and said, "Tell me, where is this place?"
Before anyone could speak, He Zhiruo at the side was the first to ask in surprise: "Brother, don't you know where this place is?"
Gu Xiaoxing smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, Brother He, my father-in-law only said that he would take me to see Dongfang Yu, and then he forced me to come here, but he didn't tell me in detail where this place is."
The Immortal-Slaying Sword in He Zhiruo's body vibrated again, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He thought to himself that he was worthy of being my brother. He said he was not hiding it, but what he said were all lies. Yet he could still look serious and there was no sign of any clue.
However, after a conversation, He Zhiruo had become accustomed to Gu Xiaoxing's way of speaking and knew that the other party was not a hypocritical person wearing a mask.
This nonsense look is actually the true side of Gu Xiaoxing.
Perhaps, this kind of character who does not conceal his love for taking advantage and flattering himself is the real villain as rumored.
But He Zhiruo prefers to make friends with such people, even though nine out of ten words they say may be false, as long as the sentence "I treat you as a friend" is true, it's enough!
This kind of real villain is often more reliable than those who always wear a mask of "sincerity".
He Zhiruo glanced at Gu Xiaoxing , wondering why he came here and didn't know where this place was, so he said, "This place is the barrier world that was revealed by the vibration of the cage!"
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes narrowed. Although he was the leader of a sect in the small wasteland, there were still too many secrets in the entire Jiutian Realm that he had no way of knowing. What he heard at this moment was one of them!
He Zhiruo continued, "As we all know, the cage, also known as the prison cage, will occasionally vibrate during the endless years of imprisoning the Nine Heavens. This vibration is the opportunity to open the barrier world!"
Gu Xiaoxing listened carefully, asked questions occasionally, and finally began to understand something about this place.
This is a secret world that opens from time to time, or in other words, this is the inside of the barrier of the cage, the inside of the barrier that seals off the entire Nine Heavens Domain.
It is unknown what the cage is exactly, but it must be something extraordinary to be able to imprison the entire Nine Heavens and seal off such a vast area of deep space. The world inside its barrier must also be vast and endless.
"Every time the barrier world opens, it is a competition for opportunities, and the entire Nine Heavens Region will participate in it..."
He Zhiruo continued talking, and at the same time, he looked at Gu Xiaoxing with an even weirder expression. He thought that although the matter of the Barrier World was a big secret, not many people in Xuantian Domain knew about it, but it was definitely not few. How could Brother Gu be brought here by the Lord of Xuantian himself, and he didn't know anything about it?
He Zhiruo was even more curious about Gu Xiaoxing's identity, but this matter involved too many things. He knew that with Brother Gu's personality, he would probably talk nonsense again, so he did not ask any more questions.
Gu Xiaoxing listened to He Zhiruo's narration and gradually gained a general understanding of this barrier world.
The barrier world is also a place of good fortune. Because of the terrifying power of sealing that exists there, only those who have reached the Jindan stage can enter through the cracks that appear when the cage vibrates.
If it is stronger, it will be torn apart directly by the space cracks. That is the power that seals the entire Nine Heavens Realm, and no one can contend with it!
If you are weaker, you won't be able to bear it.
At the same time, the barrier world is full of crises. If you are not strong enough, you cannot survive in it. Moreover, the opportunities there are basically the chance to form an infant, so those who enter this barrier world are basically at the great perfection of forming a pill!
It is almost an exception that Gu Xiaoxing was sent in at the late stage of Jindan.
Moreover, not only the Xuantian Realm, but the other eight realms will also participate. It can be said that every time the cage shakes, it is a grand event. In the entire Jiutian Realm, almost all the Jindan geniuses will participate in it, fighting and competing with each other.
This is an opportunity and destiny, but also a competition between the major realms!
It is also an opportunity to make a name for yourself in the Nine Heavens Realm!
Perhaps most people would be overwhelmed with emotion and excited after hearing this, but not Gu Xiaoxing. He still knows his own limitations. With his current strength, the so-called stunning success would only bring trouble to himself.
Gu Xiaoxing knew it very well. If nothing else, that pervert Yang Tianyu would not let him go, so he felt that he must keep a low profile on this trip.
right!
Must keep a low profile!
Gu Xiaoxing made up his mind and warned himself sternly that he never wanted to live a life being hunted by a great master again. He had not forgotten the days when he lived in fear every day.
At the same time, Gu Xiaoxing inevitably missed Qiao Yanran and Lu Linger. He wondered if they were okay and whether they would also participate in this competition.
"But this time, something unexpected happened...!"
He Zhiruo suddenly said.
"Accident?" Gu Xiaoxing's expression condensed. In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he was not quite sure about the details.
"Yes, the cage already vibrated once ten years ago. A large number of people entered at that time. The barrier world has been open for ten years, and it is almost time to close it. We should have teleported all of them out, but at this moment, the cage vibrated... for the second time!"
Gu Xiaoxing narrowed his eyes, realizing that this trip might be very complicated, but he did not ask more questions. Instead, he waited quietly for He Zhiruo's next words.
As expected, He Zhiruo's eyes became extremely solemn, and he said, "Every time the cage vibrates, a barrier world will be opened. But it is rumored that this cage's barrier world... has more than one layer!"
Gu Xiaoxing opened his eyes slightly and said, "You mean...?"
He Zhiruo nodded and said, "This time the cage's second shock opened up the... second barrier world!"
Gu Xiaoxing's breathing stagnated after hearing this. At this moment, he had already thought of a lot of things.
"In the first barrier world, after countless years of shocks in the cage, all the major forces have already known the situation inside. But the second barrier world that appeared this time is a completely unfamiliar world to everyone!"
“Therefore, the originally brutal competition in the barrier world seemed extremely peaceful this time. The nine realms did not even fight too much with each other. They all tacitly chose to almost equally divide the opportunity of the first barrier world!”
Gu Xiaoxing was so smart that he immediately reacted and said, "The second barrier world is the real place to fight for!"
"That's right!" He Zhiruo affirmed Gu Xiaoxing's words, and then revealed a bitter smile, "So, the most we came here this time is just to drink some soup and stand still. In this big stage, the last batch of people who entered the barrier world are the protagonists!"
Gu Xiaoxing nodded. He also understood that the last batch of people who entered had already stayed here for ten years. Most of them must have broken through in their cultivation long ago. Moreover, they were the real geniuses of the entire Jiutian Domain.
Compared to them, those who entered later can only be regarded as second-rate geniuses at best, and only a very small number of them can be regarded as exceptions who suddenly rose in the past ten years.
So this trip is bound to be dangerous!
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but secretly curse his father-in-law in his heart for being so treacherous as to send his son-in-law to such a dangerous place. If something unexpected happened, where would he be able to find such a good son-in-law again?
hateful!
"Fortunately, Xiaoyu and I are in tune with each other. As long as we follow the clues to find her, we can get the support of Saint Xuantian..."
Gu Xiaoxing already had a clear plan for his future path. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "By the way, how did you know that the second barrier world had been opened inside the barrier world when you were outside, just based on the second shock of the cage?"
He Zhiruo shook his head, then looked at Gu Xiaoxing with a slightly strange look, and said: "I'm not too sure, it was Master Xuantian who said so..."
Gu Xiaoxing immediately curled his lips, thinking that his father-in-law was a traitor. He didn't even tell himself about such a thing by telling outsiders!
Damn it!
Suddenly, the entire platform shook and began to rise slowly, but Gu Xiaoxing was not too nervous. He already knew that this platform was actually an ark that carried everyone.
The entire barrier world is so large that it is beyond ordinary people's imagination. It is roughly divided into three ring areas. The place where Gu Xiaoxing and his group are now is the first ring area, which is also the largest ring area in the barrier world, called the Black Ring Area!
As the name suggests, this area is almost completely covered by endless black airflow. Once you fall into it, you will be stripped of everything, and even your bones will decay in the end. It is like an endless sea of suffering, extremely terrifying.
And this Ark is the only ship that can cross the sea of suffering. It keeps moving upwards at a speed beyond everyone's cognition, carrying everyone towards the second ring area !
Gu Xiaoxing spread his spiritual sense and sensed the outside of the Daotai Ark slightly, but found that he could not sense anything. The speed of the Daotai Ark was too fast. It was probably not much slower than that of his father-in-law.
