Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 411: Transaction in Time
In the vast void, stretching for billions of miles, the color of time is everywhere.
It was like an enormous vortex, covering everything, and at the center of this vortex was a man in red!
That is, the moment Gu Xiaoxing saw the man in red, the slowly rotating vortex suddenly stopped, and all the flowing light and color stopped!
The people around stopped, Hengyang also stopped, and even the photons transmitted by Hengyang paused in the void.
At this sudden moment, the only word left in Gu Xiaoxing's mind was "quiet".
Until the voice of the man in red appeared in his ears.
"Are you interested in making a deal with me?"
Gu Xiaoxing stared at the man in red in a daze. At this moment, he was confused and had no idea what was going on.
I don’t know why my dark eye and heavenly eye opened uncontrollably.
I don't know why time seemed to stop suddenly.
I don’t even know who the man in red is or why he suddenly appeared.
However, he had an inexplicable feeling that the man in red must absolutely, absolutely, absolutely... not be provoked!!!
Because in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, the other party seemed to be the source of time!
That feeling is something I have never experienced from anyone before.
The divine thunder of will in his body vibrated violently, and finally pulled Gu Xiaoxing back from the endless shock. He bowed without hesitation and bowed deeply to the man in red.
"Junior Gu Xiaoxing, greetings to the senior."
"I'm not a senior, so you don't have to worship me." said the man in red.
Gu Xiaoxing looked up, but was shocked to find that his direction had changed inexplicably. Just by lowering his head, he went from facing the man in red to having his back to him.
Obviously, the other party did not accept his greeting.
Gu Xiaoxing turned around and faced the man in red again. He felt extremely nervous. The other party refused to accept his worship, and also did not allow him to call him senior. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
The man in red had already retracted his gaze and returned to the fairy flowers. He said, "My last name is Luo, Luo Xiu."
Falling into repair?
Although the other party only said a name, Gu Xiaoxing just memorized it silently and did not dare to ask more questions.
The man in red continued, "I'm willing to make a deal with you in this moment."
"Please give me your instructions, Senior Luo!" Gu Xiaoxing did not bow again, but still addressed him as senior.
Luo Xiu did not try to correct him, but said, "I only need your consent. Do you want to make this deal or not?"
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless. He didn’t even know the content of the transaction. What should he do?
But facing such a powerful person, he didn't dare to say no. What if he made the other party unhappy and crushed him to death with a flick of his finger? He could only remain silent for the time being.
Seeing that the other party had not spoken, Gu Xiaoxing gradually panicked. He couldn't remain silent forever, could he? !
Except for the first glance at Gu Xiaoxing, the man in red kept his eyes on the fairy flower.
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't see the fairy flower clearly. Even though his dark eye and heavenly eye were open at this moment, he still couldn't see it clearly.
What surprised him was that after having his eyes open for so long, he didn't feel any loss of cultivation power at all.
You know, the last time Gu Xiaoxing opened both eyes in this state, he consumed a lot of his cultivation in an instant.
It was as if, at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes were connected to another source, and it was not Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation that was consumed.
Very weird.
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Could you please... tell me more about the content or method of the transaction?"
The man in red shook his head and said, "If you tell me, this deal won't go on."
"I can only say that I have no ill will towards you. I just want to save someone from this world."
Gu Xiaoxing pondered for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Even a great man like Senior Luo can't be saved?"
In fact, Gu Xiaoxing had one more thing to say. If even a big shot like you can't save someone, what's the point of looking for a small monk like me?
The man in red remained calm and said, "Saving her is nothing more than stealing a few more inches of time and walking a few more steps for me, but for her, it means a few more lifetimes of suffering...!"
"This deal is a shortcut between you and me, and it's also a win-win for both of us."
Gu Xiaoxing listened to the other party's words. To be honest, he didn't quite understand them, but he did not feel any malice at all.
I think if the other party really wants to deal with me, there is no need for him to have any ill intentions.
After thinking it over for a while, Gu Xiaoxing finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, saying, "Okay, since Senior Luo thinks highly of me, I, Gu Xiaoxing, will accept this deal!"
"Please tell me how I should complete this transaction."
The man in red turned around and looked at Gu Xiaoxing again. There was a hint of smile on his stern face. He said, "When you promised, your part of the deal was completed."
"Now, it's time to fulfill my part of the deal."
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned. He had only said one sentence and hadn't done anything yet?
How did it get completed?
Also, what kind of deal was he going to fulfill? I never said what I wanted.
Gu Xiaoxing was full of doubts.
However, the man in red seemed to know the doubts in Gu Xiaoxing's heart. He looked at him and said, " What you seek in your life is nothing more than the truth."
"I will ask you three times as a bargain and help you find the truth."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in red pointed his finger at Gu Xiaoxing's forehead, on the tiny red dot left !
Gu Xiaoxing only felt his whole body tremble, as if he was pointed out of this inch of time.
The fairy flower was disappearing, the man in red was disappearing, and the endless, vast vortex of time was also disappearing.
The only thing I could hear was the whisper of the man in red.
"The promises made, the disasters that befell, if you want more, it will be more painful..."
Until the sound slowly dissipated, the light and color in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes also disappeared in an instant. Both the Eye of the Underworld and the Eye of Heaven seemed to have never been opened.
Gu Xiaoxing returned to the previous moment and flew towards the passage with everyone. He thought about everything that had happened before, the man in red, the fairy flower, and the transaction.
It all seems like a dream.
"Um?"
Gu Xiaoxing was confused again, and a ridiculous idea came to his mind.
"Did I... fall asleep while flying?"
Even Gu Xiaoxing looked around but found nothing.
"What's wrong?"
Dongfang Yu and Gu Xiaoxing were connected in thought, but at this moment he only noticed that Gu Xiaoxing was different, but he didn't know what was wrong with him.
Gu Xiaoxing blinked and said uncertainly: "I seem to have just had a dream while awake."
Dongfang Yu looked at Gu Xiaoxing with a puzzled look and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I can't really explain it, but it doesn't seem like a dream..."
Gu Xiaoxing shook his head, feeling that he had encountered too many strange things during his trip to the Barrier World.
It starts from Fang Qingqing’s dream of the dead, and then to the sun-catching giant in the ancient real world.
It was as if in a trance just now, there was suddenly an extra part in my memory, the man in red.
The more Gu Xiaoxing thought about it, the more weird it seemed. That transaction was extremely weird. Why was he asked three times? He didn't feel anything at all.
Thinking about it carefully, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but shudder and said, "Let's leave here first."
The crowd continued to move upwards, and soon passed through the light column channel, flew back to the first barrier world, and appeared right above the Tianyuan land.
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath. Compared to the second barrier world, this first barrier world was undoubtedly much easier, which made him feel relaxed.
In fact, it was not just Gu Xiaoxing. Everyone present was the same. They looked at the vast water sky and the endless mountains and continents below, and only then did they feel completely relieved.
As for those who did not come out of the second barrier world, no one asked them.
It was not until everyone had left the Tianyuan land for a long time that a young man flew out from the light column channel, looking extremely skinny.
There was also a woman following him out.
The young man laughed out loud as if he had escaped from death.
The woman looked at the young man with disgust and flew away.
The young man glanced at the woman's back, also showing disdain, "Tsk, skinny guy, why are you so proud? It's like the fat second brother loves you."
In the gathering place of the Sky Ring, in the Xuantian area, in the snow-white palace.
"Dongfang Yu is going into seclusion, you can go away now."
Dongfang Yexuan picked up Gu Xiaoxing in one hand and threw him out of the palace. Then with a "bang", the palace door closed.
Gu Xiaoxing cried out in pain, "Ouch!" and fell to the ground in a mess.
Inside the palace, Dongfang Yu looked at his father with a somewhat unfriendly expression. Hongyue turned into a little fox and hid aside.
Qinggu stood behind Dongfang Yu with her head down. Facing Lord Xuantian, she was extremely nervous.
Outside the palace, Gu Xiaoxing touched his butt, a hateful look flashed across his eyes, and he was thinking whether he could beat the clone of his father-in-law.
But it was only a moment before he suppressed this thought, while constantly reminding himself in his heart.
"How could I have such a dangerous thought? He is my father-in-law!"
"At least... at least I have to defeat his real body before I settle the score with him!!"
After Gu Xiaoxing stood up, he did not knock on the door. He knew that Dongfang Yu really wanted to go into seclusion to refine the true dragon infant.
So he just patted his butt and left.
As for the real dragon baby that Gu Xiaoxing snatched, he sealed it in the Qingyan Palace in his body and did not refine it.
After all, he had just refined the Vermillion Bird Essence, and it had completely reached saturation. He would need some time to digest and adapt.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing came to the Youtian area again, wanting to find Qiao Yanran to reminisce the past, but unfortunately, Qiao Yanran also began to retreat. He didn't even get to see her before he was kicked out by Mo Xuyou.
Gu Xiaoxing was furious at that time. He wanted to let the other party taste the power of Liuxian Rope again.
But just as he was about to take action, Mo Xuyou grabbed Lu Linger and put his hands around her neck.
Lu Ling'er immediately burst into tears, "Brother, please don't come over. Ling'er doesn't want to die yet."
Gu Xiaoxing: “…”
