Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 358: Qingshan Building on the Mountain
The stone statue of the giant carrying a tripod is located on the top of a high mountain. Outside the altar on the top of the mountain, there is a staircase leading straight down.
The two of them walked down the mountain step by step along the staircase.
Gu Xiaoxing still held Fang Qingyun's hand and said, "Can you tell me about Jiu Ming Mountain?"
Fang Qingyun nodded and said, "Jiu Ming Mountain is one of the three great sects in the True Ancient Immortal Realm. It has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. The exact time is unknown. We only know that it roughly originated at the beginning of the second era."
"The other two sects are...?"
"One is the True Word Sword Sect, and the other one... can't be told!"
Gu Xiaoxing was startled and asked, "Why can't I tell you?"
Fang Qingyun suddenly raised his head, looked at Gu Xiaoxing deeply, and said, "Because there is no cause and effect between you two."
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Fang Qingyun strangely, and felt that when the other party said this, a hint of sophistication suddenly flashed in those innocent eyes.
The two of them went down the mountain, asking and answering questions along the way. Gu Xiaoxing also learned a lot of information about Jiu Ming Mountain, but it was only limited to Jiu Ming Mountain!
As for other sects in the True Ancient Immortal Realm, he only knew about the True Word Sword Sect, and did not ask anything about the others.
From what Fang Qingyun said, it seemed that he had some karma with the Zhenyan Sword Sect.
But Gu Xiaoxing knew nothing about this Taoist sect, and asking was fruitless.
Even when it came to Jiu Ming Mountain, many of the questions that Gu Xiaoxing asked were vague and unclear.
In the end, he had no choice but to wait until he reached Jiu Ming Mountain.
The stepped mountain path was very long, too long. After walking for an hour, I still couldn't see the end. There was a thick cloud below.
This made Gu Xiaoxing a little impatient, and he couldn't help but come up with an idea.
Why not fly down?
But then, another idea came into his mind.
So, how did you fly?
Gu Xiaoxing instinctively thought that he could fly, but it seemed that he had forgotten how to fly.
Then he thought that he was fine after jumping down from a giant stone statue thousands of feet high before, so he picked up Fang Qingyun amid his exclamation.
"This is too slow, let's jump down."
"Um!"
Fang Qingyun's cheeks flushed slightly, and those innocent yet slightly nervous eyes startled Gu Xiaoxing, who then remembered the occasional stern look in his eyes when he asked her questions just now.
This made Gu Xiaoxing wonder, could it be that he has a split personality?
This was also a problem that he couldn't figure out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and just hugged Fang Qingyun and jumped down in one step.
Under Gu Xiaoxing's amazing strength, this step directly crossed thousands of steps, and then continued down...
step……
Ten steps...
One hundred steps...
It took him nearly twelve hours to reach the ten thousand steps mark. Gu Xiaoxing was completely speechless. He couldn't even count how many steps he had crossed, but he still hadn't reached the destination.
How high is this mountain?
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxing did not walk step by step foolishly, otherwise, it would probably take him a year to finish the journey.
Another hour later...
"How far is it?" Gu Xiaoxing wanted to cry.
"We're almost there." Fang Qingyun said.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant to hear, but it made Gu Xiaoxing want to cry even more.
"This is the twentieth time you've said that!"
Fang Qingyun blinked and suddenly said, "Actually, I can take you flying down."
Gu Xiaoxing stumbled and almost fell down, and asked angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Fang Qingyun continued blinking and said, "You didn't ask me either!"
"Haha, I'm speechless..."
Gu Xiaoxing put her down in a bad mood, but seeing her innocent look, he couldn't bear to say anything to her. Finally, he sighed and said, "You should tell me about this kind of thing earlier in the future. Forget it, just take me down first."
Fang Qingyun still blinked, pointed downwards, and said, "No need, we're already there."
Gu Xiaoxing turned his head and saw the end of the stairway at a glance, which made his breathing stop.
This Fang Qingyun looks cute and silly, but when he gets mad at people, he can be fatal!
"Forget it, she's still just a child...!"
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath, but then he realized, "That's not right! Everyone is a child, I was just born!"
Immediately, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Qingyun fiercely, and said, "Put your face closer."
Gu Xiaoxing's expression made Fang Qingyun shrink slightly, but in the end he still moved his face closer.
Gu Xiaoxing grabbed her face and started pinching it. Although he didn't use much force, he still made it into various shapes, which was very cute.
After venting his anger, Gu Xiaoxing withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go."
"oh!"
Fang Qingyun responded, blinked and followed.
"Owner……!"
Suddenly, an extremely excited voice sounded.
Gu Xiaoxing looked carefully and saw a person appear at the end of the stairway.
The man was extremely handsome, but looked a little dark. The dark did not refer to his skin, but to the clothes he wore.
The shoes are black, the pants are black, the clothes are black, there is no other color except black.
When he saw this person, Gu Xiaoxing inexplicably felt uncomfortable.
The handsome man looked at Fang Qingyun and cried bitterly, "Master, I haven't seen you for ten years. I miss you so much!"
Fang Qingyun's eyes were clear, without much emotion. He nodded and said, "Let's go back."
"Okay, the old master hasn't seen you for ten years, and he must miss you. Let's go back to Jiuming Mountain now!"
The man wiped the tears and snot from his face, then turned his gaze to Gu Xiaoxing. As if he had just seen him, his expression changed and he became arrogant, almost pointing at his face and speaking.
"Boy, are you the real god? Master Zhou tells you, stay away from my master. If you dare to touch her next time, I'll chop you off...!"
"Small boat!"
"Hey...! Master, I'm here!"
Xiao Zhou's expression changed rapidly. He had a ferocious look the moment before, but now he looked at Fang Qingyun tenderly.
"Turns out he's just a flatterer!" Gu Xiaoxing muttered.
"What did you say?" Xiao Zhou was angry.
"I call you a flatterer!" Gu Xiaoxing was not afraid at all.
"Damn it, even though you're praising me, your attitude makes Master Zhou very unhappy..."
However, at this moment, Fang Qingyun took the initiative to hold Gu Xiaoxing's hand and said, "Xiaozhou, if you don't want to leave, just stay here, and we will go back first."
"No, no! Master, I'm leaving, let's go now!"
As he spoke, he shook his body and turned into a black boat.
Fang Qingyun jumped up and landed steadily on the boat.
Gu Xiaoxing curled his lips, and although he felt a little disgusted, he still followed closely. However, when his footsteps stepped on the light boat, the boat trembled noticeably, as if he felt even more disgusted.
Then, the black boat whistled and disappeared into the distance in an instant!
Gu Xiaoxing lost his balance and was nearly thrown out, but luckily he managed to grab the little girl next to him and was able to stabilize himself.
But he was still quite angry and said, "You are a despicable person, you are a sneak attack!"
However, Xiao Zhou was even angrier: "Po Shen, you are shameless, let go of my master!"
Fang Qingyun's cheeks flushed and he said nothing.
One boat and one god, they quarreled with each other and went away, heading towards the endless starry sky.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing looked back and discovered that the location of the Altar Mountain was on an extremely huge star!
As the boat sailed out of the stars, the huge star suddenly rippled like a ripple, and disappeared from Gu Xiaoxing's sight, as if it was obscured by some invisible curtain .
"This true spirit stone statue is the biggest secret of our Nine Nether Clan. Outsiders are not allowed to know about it!" Fang Qingyun explained.
"How big is the largest?" Gu Xiaoxing asked subconsciously.
Fang Qingyun's eyes once again flashed with a very incongruous deepness, and he said: "He is the corpse of the world's first true spirit!"
"The first true spirit?" Gu Xiaoxing's expression froze, and then he asked, "Then how many true spirits are there in this world?"
Fang Qingyun just opened his mouth and said two words: "Four-nine!"
The boat was sailing in the starry sky, and Gu Xiaoxing originally wanted to take a good look at those shining stars and see the wonders of the starry sky.
But the speed of the boat was so fast that everything Gu Xiaoxing saw became almost a blur!
It was so fast that the shining stars became spots of light in his eyes, and so fast that as soon as they appeared in front of him, they would be crossed over in an instant, leaving them far behind.
This speed has reached an indescribable level.
But even at this speed, the journey lasted nearly a month after they crossed countless stars.
Finally, as the speed of the boat slowed down, a vast and indescribable green mountain appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes!
That mountain is endlessly majestic, much bigger than the stars!
It just stands there in the starry sky, majestic and motionless!
But the strange thing was that on the top of the mountain, there was a fire burning. It looked ordinary, but it was actually big enough to roast the stars!
"We are finally here, Mount Jiuming!"
Fang Qingyun stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the endless mountains, muttering to himself.
This place is the Jiu Ming Mountain, one of the three major sects with a great reputation in the entire ancient fairy world!
Rather than being a mountain, it would be more accurate to say that it is a vast continent that looks like a mountain.
All the stars I have seen along the way, even the biggest ones, cannot compare to it.
The boat flew forward slowly. The Jiu Ming Mountain seemed to be right in front of them, but in fact it was still very far away. Moreover, as it got closer, the Jiu Ming Mountain became everything in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes.
An indescribable feeling of oppression also came with it, and this feeling of oppression made the speed of the boat slower and slower. It took a full hour to finally reach the mountain and the shore.
There were people guarding the shore, but after Fang Qingyun casually made a seal , everyone bowed respectfully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
This is the seal that can only be inherited by direct descendants of Jiu Ming Mountain. It is a symbol of identity and also the best document of passage!
Then the boat roared and flew towards the depths of Jiuming Mountain, with a smooth journey!
When the boat came to a complete stop and Gu Xiaoxing saw everything, he just wanted to summarize what he had seen in one sentence.
Green mountains on the mountains... green buildings on the buildings!
