Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 323: Deep Space, No Way to Follow
On the Daotai Ark.
Gu Xiaoxing sat alone on the edge, looking at the vast and weak water. The more he looked, the deeper it became, but he sighed inwardly.
"This world... is really full of strangeness."
This weak water ring area looks extremely vast, and the black ring area below is even more magnificent and endless!
But who would have thought that they were just a barrier world in a cage.
"The Thousand Wastelands and the Nine Realms are nothing more than a caged world. But what is outside that cage?"
At this time, an elegant voice came from behind.
"Brother, what's on your mind?"
Gu Xiaoxing knew without looking back that this was He Zhiruo's voice. He put his palms behind his head, slowly lay on his back, and looked at the weak water above him that was as light blue as the sky. The voice was a little lazy.
"I was just wondering, which is bigger, this world or the path of cultivators like me... is bigger!"
He Zhiruo sat down next to Gu Xiaoxing and said with a smile, "I always thought that Brother Gu was a broad-minded person. How could he have such a far-fetched talk?"
Gu Xiaoxing did not answer. What he thought of in his mind was the figure of the old village chief and the skeleton hand that seemed even more majestic than the Weak Water Ring!
And...the scene where the old village chief finally turned into the bones of his index finger!
Subconsciously, Gu Xiaoxing reached out and touched his forehead. The thin red dot left by the old village chief was still there.
After a while, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly asked again: "Brother He, I remember you said that this cage is also a prison cage?"
He Zhiruo was slightly startled, and then his eyes deepened a little, nodded and said: "Yes, the entire Nine Heavens Region is a caged place..."
"And we...are just a group of imprisoned people!"
As he spoke, He Zhiruo also lay down on the platform and looked at the weak water above. There seemed to be stars shining in his eyes, with an inexplicable hope, but there was a kind of helplessness in his voice.
"Ancient books say that within the universe, there are the sun, the moon, the stars, the vast ocean, the galaxy, and the boundless star field. There are even ancient books that record that outside of that universe, there is another world..."
"But in this cage, none of these exist. We were born in a cage and are trapped in a cage..."
"Since ancient times, those who wanted to break the cage have all fallen...!"
Gu Xiaoxing listened carefully, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little moved. He thought that back then, a small wasteland was already a whole sky in his eyes.
But now it seems that the small wasteland may not even be a drop in the ocean!
This world is so big that it makes people feel a little desperate.
"But this is not the problem we need to consider. For us, the Xuantian Realm alone is large enough. The ones who really feel trapped are the God Transformation Realm, and even... above!"
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath and asked again, "Is there a 'guardian' blocking us, or is this cage... unbreakable?"
He Zhiruo shook his head slightly and said, "That is beyond my knowledge, but I once saw a sentence in an ancient book."
Gu Xiaoxing's expression froze, and he asked, "What did you say?"
"The sky is dark and there is no way to follow!"
"The deep sky is dark and there is no way to follow?" Gu Xiaoxing muttered to himself, but he did not understand what he meant.
There is no way out. Does it mean that there is no way out of the cage, or that there is no way out of the cage?
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes narrowed as he looked upwards, and even He Zhiruo's expression changed. Almost at the same time, the two of them stood up abruptly.
I saw a golden light falling from the sky, at an extremely fast speed .
The people on the Taoist platform who had reached the Jindan stage couldn't even see clearly. They only saw a flash of golden light flash in the distance, passing diagonally towards the Taoist platform.
Only Gu Xiaoxing and He Zhiruo looked at each other, and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Then they flew up at the same time, rushed out of the Taoist platform, sank into the Weak Water, and disappeared in the blink of an eye along with the golden light!
On the other side of the Taotai, Qing Gu wanted to catch up, but the two men were too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After hesitating for a while, she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up even if she chased them. She finally chose to wait on the Taotai.
Just now, Qinggu managed to see clearly that the golden light was actually a fish!
A golden fish with a body length of more than ten feet and two horns on its head!
In the Weak Water, Gu Xiaoxing and the other person were moving at an incredibly fast speed, and were completely unaffected by the Weak Water ring area, covering a thousand miles in a flash!
In the past two months or nearly three months, Gu Xiaoxing and He Zhiruo ate too much silver fish meat, and even a lot of golden fish meat, and absorbed a lot of inner elixir!
This not only greatly increased their strength, but also completely freed them from the restrictions of weak water!
The two of them chased in the direction of the golden fish. In fact, what shocked them before was not the golden fish itself!
Although the golden fish was more than ten feet long and had two horns on its head, which was extremely peculiar, it was not enough to shock Gu Xiaoxing and the others!
What shocked them was that behind the golden fish... someone was chasing it!
Even Qinggu didn't notice this!
From this, we can see how fast that person is. It also shows that although Qinggu has become a Nascent Soul, his strength is still much worse than that of Gu Xiaoxing and the other two!
But among the three of them, the one who felt aggrieved was not Qinggu, but He Zhiruo!
At this moment, He Zhiruo in Ruoshui had already exerted his speed to the extreme, but he could only see Gu Xiaoxing's back. No matter how he sped up, he could not surpass the other party.
I have clearly already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage at the Jindan stage. Even among those in the early Yuanying stage, I should be among the strongest!
Even if facing an ordinary late Nascent Soul, He Zhiruo felt that he could fight!
But this little star who has not yet formed a baby seems unfathomable to He Zhiruo, and all signs indicate that he is no match for him!
Sometimes He Zhiruo himself couldn't figure it out. He had never heard of this Gu Xiaoxing before. Where did this monster come from? ?
Gu Xiaoxing was flying ahead. He did not use his Fangcun magical power to speed up his journey. After all, he was in the Ruoshui River. Although he had adapted to the environment, there was still considerable resistance when he used his Fangcun magical power.
However, with Gu Xiaoxing's current strength, his flying speed is not much slower than Fang Cun's magical power. He can cover a thousand miles in a blink of an eye. This is because he did not use his full strength.
Otherwise, it will be even faster!
The two swam smoothly all the way, and even though they were going very fast, the fish and the man in front of them were not slow at all!
After chasing for more than half an hour and crossing a huge body of water, Gu Xiaoxing and the other man slowly stopped. In the weak water in front of them, there was a huge noise, as if a fight was going on.
Gu Xiaoxing pondered for a moment, moved closer, and soon saw everything clearly. It was indeed the man and the fish fighting fiercely!
The golden fish, which was over ten feet long, was extremely ferocious. Even though it was wounded, it did not lose the upper hand in the fight!
And that person was a long-haired young man wearing a luxurious Taoist robe, with a mark of mountains and rivers between his eyebrows!
Gu Xiaoxing frowned, he recognized the mark.
"Someone from the Shanhe Sect?"
"Yes, I know this person. Ten years ago, there were six people from the Shanhe Sect who entered the Barrier World. This person's talent ranked third among them. His name is... Tong Li!"
He Zhiruo suddenly said beside Gu Xiaoxing, he obviously wanted to know more, and a solemn look gradually appeared on his face.
“I didn’t expect that after just ten years in the Barrier World, he has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage!”
In the distance, the mermaids were still fighting fiercely. The big golden fish seemed to have been seriously injured before. After realizing that it could not escape, it had completely fallen into madness.
He continued to attack Tong Li with extreme ferocity!
Facing Jin Youyu's crazy attack, Tong Li seemed to be able to only defend passively.
He was seen with his hands clasped together, standing like an immovable mountain in the weak water, and it seemed as if there were mountains surrounding him all around, resisting the violent impact of the golden fish again and again!
Gu Xiaoxing did not approach rashly. He just stood in the distance with He Zhiruo, watching everything silently, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Having spent such a long time in the Weak Water Ring, Gu Xiaoxing has never encountered a golden fish larger than ten zhang in size. The largest one is only about six zhang in size.
But even though the golden fish is only six meters in size, its cultivation has almost reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and it is extremely powerful and ferocious.
At that time, even with the advantage of having a top-grade spiritual treasure, Diaotian, Gu Xiaoxing still had to spend a lot of effort to get it.
Not to mention that this golden fish has reached a size of ten feet, its cultivation is at least close to the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!
Gu Xiaoxing doesn’t think that a person in the late Nascent Soul stage can be his opponent!
This golden fish had obviously suffered some fatal injury before, causing its strength to drop significantly, which is why it was chased all the way here.
After figuring it all out, a smile gradually appeared on Gu Xiaoxing's lips.
Are the people up there also fishing?
"He seems to have discovered us." He Zhiruo said suddenly.
Amid the shadows of the mountains in the distance , Tong Li looked into the distance with sharp eyes. When he saw the two people clearly, a look of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes!
In fact, when Tong Li was chasing the golden fish before, he saw the rising Taoist Ark and everyone else.
However, he had come up like this before, so he naturally knew what was going on. He just thought that they were the geniuses from various forces who were sent into the barrier world for training after the cage was shaken for the second time, and he didn't take it seriously.
The key is to catch the golden fish first!
But what Tong Li didn't expect was that two people inside actually discovered him and chased after him?
What's going on?
Tong Li was stunned. Being able to achieve this was enough to prove that their strength was not much worse than his!
However, he had already been in this barrier world for ten years, and had gained so many opportunities and fortunes to have the strength he has now!
They just came in, and they can catch up with me?
Could it be another monster like the Holy Maiden Xuantian, Shen Liufeng, and Senior Brother Fang?
Tong Li was stunned for only a moment, then he immediately regained his composure and said from a distance: "Two junior brothers, since you are here, why don't you lend me a hand and help me kill the evil fish!"
