Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 308: Reciprocity
Just as Gu Xiaoxing and his companions were rising higher and higher on the Daotai Ark, in a place infinitely far away, there was also a Daotai Ark that was rising at an indescribable speed.
Unlike the Taoist platform where Gu Xiaoxing was, on this Taoist platform Ark, there were not only human figures, but also several animal figures, but the one leading the way was a little girl!
The little girl looked to be about ten years old. She was wearing a purple dress. Her big eyes were twinkling, and she looked clever and charming. Her beautiful and delicate facial features were as delicate as jade. Especially her chubby little face, which looked extremely adorable. As her skirt swayed, she looked like a purple elf.
But even such an innocent and lively little girl, all the eyes on the platform that looked at her, whether they were from humans or animals, were filled with deep fear. It was a fear without any impurities, engraved in the bones.
On both sides of the little girl stood two little animals, one black and one white. Although these two little animals were not as scared as the others, they also squatted in place and dared not move.
The little girl smiled and looked at the group of people and monsters in front of her. Her eyes were innocent and she said, "Have you remembered what I said? If you meet anyone from Yangtian Territory, kill them all!"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone immediately spoke respectfully.
The little girl nodded in satisfaction, and then climbed onto the head of a pure white little unicorn beside her. The furry touch seemed to make the little girl very happy, and said, "I'm going to see Sister Yanran. Aren't you happy, little Fa Cai?"
This little girl is Lu Linger!
“Woo, woo, woo…!” the little Qilin called out excitedly.
“Woof woof woof...!” A big black dog at the side also barked, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue, looking at Lu Linger in a flattering manner.
But Lu Linger didn't appreciate it. She glared at the big black dog and scolded him, "Wangcai, stay still. Who told you to move? I told you to steal the tortoise shell fragments from the Fuyou tribe, but you swallowed them yourself. I'm still angry!"
After hearing this, the big black dog immediately showed an extremely aggrieved look, but he squatted there obediently and dared not move.
Below, a short, dark-skinned man broke out in sweat on his forehead when he heard this. He was none other than a disciple from the Fuyou clan.
But even though this disciple heard someone discussing stealing the tortoise shell fragments from his Fuyou clan, he did not dare to say a word against it. Instead, he was filled with fear, fearing that the other party would transfer their anger to him because they failed to get the tortoise shell fragments.
This person is now the ancestor of their entire Youtian Realm!
Just like what you fear will come true, when the Fuyou tribe member felt Lv Linger's gaze sweeping over him, even though that look was extremely innocent, his heart skipped a beat and he took out something without hesitation and presented it to her, saying, "Little Saint, I know this journey will be long, so I specially picked a basket of thousand-year-old Xuanyou fruits from my tribe, hoping to satisfy your cravings on the way!"
Lu Linger's eyes lit up, she licked her lips subconsciously, then coughed dryly and said, "Well, take it here. Since you are so sensible, I won't go to your Fuyou tribe next time."
When the Fuyou clan disciple heard this, he was so excited that he almost cried, and quickly sent over a large box of Xuanyou fruits.
As for the others, they were all envious, but then they became ruthless and took out their treasures and presented them to him. As long as this little ancestor did not visit their respective clan territories, any price they paid would be worth it!
Lu Linger accepted the gifts from everyone with a smile, very happy and excited, and said: "Linger is so happy, I didn't expect you would prepare so many gifts for Linger, don't worry, when I return, Linger will definitely go to your clan land and return the gifts one by one!"
When everyone heard this, they felt as if a thunderclap had suddenly risen from the ground. They were all shocked and stood still. Someone said in a daze, "Little Saint, no... you don't have to return the gift!"
Lu Linger's eyes widened immediately, and she pouted, "How can that be! My little brother said that we should know how to reciprocate. Linger can't accept other people's kindness without reason. It's settled!"
At this moment, everyone's faces almost all turned the color of liver, and they cursed that "little brother" in their hearts for 1,800 times, why did he talk nonsense! ?
If the head of the clan knew that it was him who invited this big devil to the clan, the consequences would be...
No one dared to think about it!
However, Lu Linger no longer looked at them. She lay on the little Qilin's head, took a bite of the Xuanyou Fruit, and murmured, "It would be great if little brother could come too..."
On the other side…
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly felt his scalp tingling for no apparent reason, and a malicious feeling came over him, as if countless people were cursing him, which immediately made him frown.
Since he practiced the art of controlling life, he was very sensitive to the unknown. He knew that this was not groundless, and that someone must be cursing. He immediately snorted coldly and said, "If you dare to curse your grandpa, I will rebound!"
But soon, Gu Xiaoxing felt He Zhiruo's strange gaze, and immediately lowered his head, coughed, and said, "Brother He, you just said that it would take at least a month to cross the black ring?"
He Zhiruo nodded and said, "This black ring is vast and endless. Even if this Daotai Ark is extremely fast , it is not easy to cross it."
Gu Xiaoxing estimated in his heart that if there was no Daotai Ark, they, a group of little Jindan cultivators, would probably not be able to fly out of the black ring even if they flew for their entire lives.
Moreover, Gu Xiaoxing gradually realized that above the black ring area was the second ring area... the Weak Water Ring Area!
This weak water ring area is the beginning of the fight for opportunities, because in the black ring area, there is only endless black airflow, and there is no opportunity!
The reason why the Weak Water Ring is just the beginning of the fight for opportunities is that, although the Weak Water Ring is far less vast than the Black Ring, it is equally large, and still requires the Daotai Ark to cross.
Therefore, this is just a struggle between various forces in one realm and cannot affect other realms.
The struggle between the various celestial realms only truly began from the third ring realm!
The third ring is called... the Sky Ring!
The reason why this ring area is named the Sky is because it is rumored to be the top of the cage and the top of the entire Nine Heavens Domain!
If this rumor is correct, then the Sky Ring is the top of the entire cage, and it represents a barrier world covering the highest point of the Nine Heavens Domain!
Although this sky ring is much smaller than the other two rings, it is large enough for a group of Nascent Souls to form the core. Even if there are countless geniuses in the Nine Heavens Realm, it is enough for them to struggle in it!
At the same time, Gu Xiaoxing also learned one thing, that in this barrier world, because of the existence of the sealing power... it is impossible to move!
This immediately made Gu Xiaoxing's eyes light up. Every time he fought against a Nascent Soul, he was always concerned about the opponent's ability to move. At one point, Gu Xiaoxing even felt disgusted. He clearly had the strength to defeat a Nascent Soul, but the opponent could move thousands of miles with one move. Even if he used his Fangcun magical power and ran until his legs broke, he could not catch up with him.
Therefore, even though Gu Xiaoxing entered the barrier world, he only wanted to bully the Xiaojiedan cultivators. He had no idea about those cultivators who had successfully formed an infant.
After all, that kind of ability to instantly teleport thousands of miles is too disgusting. Gu Xiaoxing needs to be fully prepared to be sure to keep it. But if he accidentally lets the other party run away and a Yuanying is interested in it, that would be a lot of fun.
A Yuanying may not be able to defeat a Jindan, but it can definitely disgust that Jindan to death!
But when he heard He Zhiruo say that the Nascent Soul could not be moved in the barrier world, his mind immediately became active, and he gradually felt that he didn't have to be so low-key!
“Now, the second-layer barrier world has appeared. People from all the major realms are entrenched in the sky ring, waiting for the barrier passage to be completely stabilized before entering in one fell swoop...!” He Zhiruo said.
"Did my father-in-law say when the passage will be completely stable?" asked Gu Xiaoxing.
He Zhiruo shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact time, but the Lord said it won't be that fast. Maybe we can still catch up this time..."
"Has it been possible that from ancient times till now, no one has ever been to the second barrier world?"
He Zhiruo pondered for a moment and said, "This cage usually vibrates only once every hundreds or thousands of years. There are even cases where it does not vibrate for thousands of years. It is almost impossible to vibrate ..."
But at this point, He Zhiruo changed the subject and continued, "But I think someone has been there! At least... someone knows what's inside. After all, there have been rumors since ancient times, and now that the second barrier world has appeared, it proves that the rumors are true!"
"To be honest, brother, before I set out this time, the elders of the sect also told me some things. They obviously know something, and Saint Xuantian must know even more!"
Gu Xiaoxing actually had the same idea. As the leader of Xuantian Realm who entered the Barrier World ten years ago and the Holy Maiden of Xuantian, Dongfang Yu must know a lot. The leaders of other realms must also know the same!
Otherwise, how could they be so tacitly aligned that they did not fight each other in the first barrier world, but instead all set their sights on the second barrier world.
There is only one explanation, that is, they all know that in the second barrier world, there is a world-shaking fortune that far exceeds the first barrier world!
As the Daotai Ark continued to rise, time passed quietly. Two days passed in the blink of an eye, but around the Daotai, there was still endless darkness and endless terrifying black airflow!
After two days of rest, the injuries of everyone on the platform had recovered, but no one dared to shout at or despise Gu Xiaoxing anymore. Even though Gu Xiaoxing was refining and organizing their storage magic weapons and collections right in front of them, everyone only dared to complain in their hearts but did not dare to say anything on the surface.
As for He Zhiruo, he was sitting cross-legged and practicing on the side.
There was silence all around, and no one spoke until a long while later, Gu Xiaoxing let out a long sigh, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.
After Gu Xiaoxing had a general understanding of the situation here, he began to check the harvest. It took him nearly two days to finally refine and sort out all the storage magic weapons and the things in them.
At this moment, he just wanted to shout out, he is worthy of being the genius in the big sect!
