Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 316: Jinyou Guides the Way
Half an hour later...
Gu Xiaoxing gradually became a little panicked. Logically, he should be able to see the Daotai Ark.
But at this moment in his eyes, there was still an endless light blue, and there was nothing except the vast and weak water!
"Could it be that I got the wrong direction?"
"Impossible! I remember it clearly, it's right here!"
Although Gu Xiaoxing was sure that his general direction was correct, in such a vast body of water, a small deviation might mean an extremely long distance.
In the end, he could only ascend at a speed similar to that of the Daotai Ark, and search horizontally at a faster speed.
Soon, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes lit up and he discovered a small dot, but then his face darkened. That small dot... was not the Daotai Ark!
Gu Xiaoxing stood on the flying sword, hovering in the weak water, and looked intently. The small silver dot was getting closer and closer.
Surprisingly, it was another silver fish!
This fish is not as big as the previous ten-zhang silver fish, but it is also nine zhang!
It spotted Gu Xiaoxing from afar and swam towards him excitedly, as if it was a hungry wolf that had not eaten for decades.
Gu Xiaoxing frowned. He just wanted to find the Daotai Ark first and didn't want to get too entangled with these big fish.
This area of weak water is extremely large. Without the Daotai Ark, even a small star would find it difficult to cross it.
So, he took out the fishing rod and caught it with one stroke.
A living silver fish came with excitement and left with fear.
After collecting the body of the big fish, Gu Xiaoxing continued to search for the Taoist priest.
Three hours passed...
Gu Xiaoxing was completely panicked. During his whole journey of searching, he encountered nothing other than a few silver fish!
There is always deep water on all sides.
This feeling of being in the vast and endless space, like a drop in the ocean, is enough to scare even Gu Xiaoxing, who is a thick-skinned man!
"what to do?"
Flying the sword, the power contained in the sword had been almost consumed, and Gu Xiaoxing began to control the flying sword with his own cultivation.
Although the flying sword is a spiritual treasure, Gu Xiaoxing does not need to spend dozens of times the cost of cultivation, but it is still several times the usual amount.
However, in this weak water, he was unable to recover his cultivation. If he continued like this, his cultivation would be exhausted sooner or later, and he would eventually fall into the black ring!
Of course Gu Xiaoxing didn't want this to happen, so he gritted his teeth and started looking for her again.
Another three hours passed...
But there is still no trace of Daotai Ark!
In just three hours, Gu Xiaoxing clearly felt that half of his cultivation had been consumed. Coupled with the previous battle, in fact, only less than 90% of his cultivation was left in Gu Xiaoxing's body!
Ninety percent cultivation!
It looks like there is still a lot, but if we can’t find the Daotai and restore it, it will be exhausted sooner or later!
This is because Gu Xiaoxing’s cultivation level has reached an endless state.
If someone who has reached the Great Perfection of the Jindan Stage comes over, even with the help of a flying sword or magic treasure, if he can ensure that his cultivation is not exhausted within an hour, he will be considered extremely powerful!
Moreover, its speed is far from comparable to that of the Lone Star.
You can imagine the gap between them!
"It's over, it's over. I'm not really going to die in this weak water ring, am I?"
But at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing was left with only deep fear in his heart. The cultivation that was constantly being consumed was like the countdown to his life!
Once it is exhausted, he will fall into the abyss!
"No! I don't believe I can't find you!"
Gradually, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes turned red. He increased his speed and flew madly in the weak water!
In this nearly boundless body of water, apart from the vast water, there are only large silver fish that occasionally rush by, and even if they leave any mark, they will sink to the bottom of the water.
The water is so weak that not even a feather can float on it!
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxing could always determine the general direction based on the line connecting him to Dongfang Yu, otherwise, he would have been lost long ago!
Although it was only a rough direction, Gu Xiaoxing's search range was still not small. And because the Daotai Ark was always rising, this undoubtedly increased his difficulty.
Continuous deduction is needed!
In a blink of an eye, another five hours passed...
All in all, Gu Xiaoxing had been away from the Taoist platform for a day and a night. His eyes had become even redder, and his cultivation was less than 80%!
But at this moment, a spot of light appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes again, which immediately made him excited.
Because this light spot is not the same as the light spots that appeared on the silver fish before. It is different and appears a light golden color!
Just when Gu Xiaoxing thought that this should be the Daotai Ark, the golden light suddenly appeared!
It...is a big golden fish!
Golden swimming fish?
Gu Xiaoxing widened his eyes, with a look of surprise in his eyes. At this moment, he met a golden fish!
The golden fish, like the silver fish, lives in weak water, but is stronger and more ferocious!
This golden fish that suddenly appeared was only three meters long, smaller than all the silver fish encountered before, but stronger than all the silver fish!
It exudes an aura of the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, and is even close to the late Nascent Soul stage!
If it were in other places, Gu Xiaoxing would have nothing to fear now, but in this Weak Water Ring Area, with the strength of one side increasing while the other decreases, he is definitely no match for this golden fish!
Just as Gu Xiaoxing's expression changed, the golden fish appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, and opened its mouth to bite him with an extremely brutal and murderous intent.
The Lingbao sword under Gu Xiaoxing's feet tilted and he narrowly avoided it. Then, without thinking, he took out Diaotian.
Other magical powers that can compete with the Golden Fish in this weak water consume too much energy. Even if it is defeated, there may be no spare energy to find the Taoist Ark.
Therefore, Diaotian is Gu Xiaoxing's only hope now.
The golden fish swung its tail and turned around to pounce again. There was madness and violence in its eyes.
Gu Xiaoxing stared at the golden fish, and the hook moved as his heart moved!
Diaotian is indeed a top-grade spiritual treasure, its speed is much faster than the golden fish in the weak water. Even if it tried to dodge, it still couldn't avoid the Diaotian hook entering its body!
Hit the target with one rod!
But the golden fish did not stand still like the other silver fish. Instead, there was an even more ferocious light in its eyes, and it rushed towards Gu Xiaoxing at an even faster speed, extremely crazy!
Gu Xiaoxing did not panic. He urged Diaotian suddenly, and countless barbs exploded in the body of the golden fish, tearing its skin and flesh. That kind of pain is probably something that not many creatures in the world can endure.
However, the golden fish did not die. Instead, it swung even more frantically. But this time it did not rush towards Gu Xiaoxing. The severe pain made it swim around randomly.
Gu Xiaoxing's expression finally changed drastically. He felt a terrifying force coming from the sky, dragging him to wander in the weak water at a terrifying speed!
This was the first time that Gu Xiaoxing had encountered a guy who could still move quickly after being caught in a fishing accident!
Gu Xiaoxing held Diaotian tightly with both hands. He couldn't let go, otherwise, he might not be able to get this top-quality magic weapon back!
In the Weak Water, the speed and strength of the silver fish are already extremely terrifying, but compared with the golden fish, it is not on the same level at all!
Even though its body was covered with barbs and pierced with countless holes, and with the sealing power from Diaotian, it was still unable to suppress the golden fish that had gone crazy due to the severe pain!
Although Gu Xiaoxing's strength is not yet able to unleash the full power of Diaotian and activate the power of transformation within it, Diaotian's power is still not something that ordinary creatures can withstand!
This golden fish is obviously not an ordinary creature. It struggles and rolls in the weak water with infinite power.
But the more I struggled, the more painful it became, and the more painful it became, the more I struggled. It took more than an hour to do this!
Gu Xiaoxing felt aggrieved as he was hooked by a fish again. He didn't even know how far he was dragged by the big fish. The speed was so fast that he was almost thrown out several times.
But Gu Xiaoxing must not let go. If he loses Diaotian and encounters any big fish in this weak water, the situation will only be worse!
Finally, no matter how strong the golden fish was, or how resilient it was, it had its limits. After almost going crazy, its speed gradually slowed down, and it gradually began to calm down.
Gu Xiaoxing, who was holding the fishing rod at the back, finally let go. He had been thrown wildly all the way and his whole body was almost numb, especially his arms, which felt like they were about to break.
He shook his dizzy head to clear himself a little, and felt extremely depressed.
"I've been dragged so far away again. I don't know if I can go back!"
"Grandpa Village Chief, you must protect Xiaoxing!"
"Xiaoxing doesn't want to..."
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing’s thoughts came to an abrupt halt, because a dot appeared again in the distance in front of him!
That dot is neither silver nor gold!
As Jin Youyu used his remaining strength to carry Gu Xiaoxing forward, the dot that suddenly appeared in front of them became clearer and clearer!
Gradually, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes became tearful and tears of excitement almost burst out!
There was a commotion on the Daotai Ark!
"Hahaha... God has eyes! It seems that the calamity star named Gu will not come back!"
A young man in a yellow Taoist robe laughed loudly and shouted that it was great. This man was a disciple of the Huangdao Immortal Sect.
At this moment, more than twelve hours had passed since Gu Xiaoxing fell into the Weak Water, and everyone was no longer hiding their joy!
"That's right. Even if he really is a Nascent Soul, it's impossible for him to last in the Weak Water for twelve hours!"
"It's a pity for my treasures. I wanted to go to the Sky Ring Domain and ask my senior brother to get them back for me. What a pity...!"
"What's so regretful? Aren't they just some spiritual stones and magic weapons? I don't believe you really handed them all over!"
"Besides, this Weak Water Ring Region will take several months to travel. I can't stand facing that Zhang Zaishing all the time...!"
Some people talked indignantly, some scolded and said it was what they deserved, some sneered and ridiculed, and some remained silent.
Everyone had different expressions.
He Zhiruo was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the Daotai Ark. After hearing what everyone said, he couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"Brother Gu, goodbye forever......!"
"I believe you are the consort of Xuantian Palace, so go with peace of mind. I will come to announce your death to the Saint!"
Not far from He Zhiruo, there was a beautiful figure. She was staring blankly at the outside of the Taoist platform, towards Ruoshui, with a very complicated expression.
This person is Qinggu!
Qinggu stared at the distant Ruoshui with her beautiful eyes without blinking, even though she already knew there was no hope, and even though she herself didn't know why she had such hope...
But after all, she kept looking forward to it.
The greater her expectations, the wider her eyes became.
"What is that?!"
