Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 418: Innate True Spirit
After hearing what Gu Jianyi said, Gu Xiaoxing was deeply shocked.
It turned out that the real Gu Jianyi was already dead, and what was left behind was just a clone.
It turns out that above the state of transformation is not the state of enlightenment, but the state of immortality!
In other words, in the ancient true world, the legendary second ancient realm began with immortals.
At the side, Gu Jianyi didn't say anything else, but leaned against a tree and drank, silently looking at the stone tablet in the distance, as if he was sighing, or as if he was giving Gu Xiaoxing time to digest it.
Gu Jianyi's words were indeed still echoing in Gu Xiaoxing's mind. According to him, in the cage, the word "immortal spirit" could not be mentioned or touched, and the realm of immortal spirit was even more unattainable.
Once one reaches this state, he will encounter the calamity of nirvana, and no one can avoid this calamity!
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing's heart started beating wildly, as he suddenly thought of his father-in-law, who was now at the level of a spirit, which was the immortal realm!
Does he also have a Nirvana Tribulation?!
If so, is it possible that my father-in-law will also perish? !
Yes!!!
Even Gu Jianyi is dead!
In fact, Gu Xiaoxing thought of not only Gu Jianyi, but also Cang Chenzi. He also broke through to the immortal realm, but later died because he wanted to break the cage!
Although no one knows how Cang Chenzi saved his soul, he was trapped in the thunderclouds for nearly ten thousand years.
Perhaps, it was not Cang Chenzi who wanted to break the cage, but because breaking the cage was the only way out, to avoid the nirvana in the cage!
Then where did this Nirvana calamity come from? !
Gu Xiaoxing didn’t understand, he only understood why those Lords of the Heaven Realm always remained in the state of Divine Transformation and didn’t choose to break through!
The only one who broke through to the level of a god and achieved the realm of immortality was my father-in-law!
Father-in-law, there is danger!
In an instant, Gu Xiaoxing understood everything!
"Have you figured it out ?" Gu Jianyi asked.
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath, the divine thunder of will flashed in his mind, and he cleared his mind and said, "May I ask, Senior, when will the calamity of Nirvana of Lord Xuantian come?"
"Soon, within three years!" said Gu Jian.
Gu Xiaoxing was silent. For a cultivator, three years was too short!
"Haha..." Gu Jianyi suddenly laughed, "Are you thinking about how to help him?"
Gu Xiaoxing did not answer. He knew what Gu Jianyi was laughing at. He was laughing at his arrogance. Even the immortals could not survive the Nirvana Tribulation, so what could he, a Nascent Soul, do?
Gu Jian shook his head and said, "This is his calamity. No one can help him. In fact, you don't have to worry about it. At the beginning, I was determined to break the cage, but in the end, I still left behind a clone."
"Dongfang Yexuan has an indestructible ancient treasure to protect him. It is stronger than the original Ancient Sword One. He should also have a backup plan."
Gu Xiaoxing sighed secretly, hoping for the best. After a moment's hesitation, he asked the original question, "I wonder what Senior Gu wants from me?"
"If it is for the Suzaku Essence, I am afraid that Senior Gu will be disappointed. I have already completely refined the Essence."
Gu Jian looked at Gu Xiaoxing in surprise and said, "Can you withstand the full power of Suzaku Zhenyuan?!"
Gu Xiaoxing didn't say it explicitly, he just said "lucky".
Gu Jianyi did not delve into the matter and just said, "It's better not to say anything. I lost the fight, so there is nothing to say. I am not looking for you for the Suzaku True Essence this time."
Gu Xiaoxing closed his eyes slightly. If it wasn’t for the Vermillion Bird’s true essence, then it was most likely for the real dragon baby !
As expected, the next moment, Gu Jian said, "I heard that in addition to the Vermillion Bird Essence, you also obtained a True Dragon Infant?"
"To be honest, I did obtain a real dragon baby." Gu Xiaoxing said.
Gu Jianyi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In that case, are you interested in making a deal with me?!"
Gu Xiaoxing blinked. Why did these words sound so familiar?
Suddenly, he thought of the man in red.
Coming again?
Gu Xiaoxing didn't want to make another weird deal, so he sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Senior Gu again. I've already given the True Dragon Infant to Youtian Saint Qiao Yanran."
Of course, the real dragon baby is actually still in Gu Xiaoxing's body, and he sealed it in the Qingyan Palace.
Are you kidding? This is a great fortune that Qiao Yanran was reluctant to use and insisted on keeping for herself!
Even if the incident with the man in red had not happened, Gu Xiaoxing would never have used it for any transaction.
When Gu Jian heard what Gu Xiaoxing said, he was obviously stunned. Qiao Yanran, of course he knew that he had seen the Little Desolate Goddess in the Yu Jian Sect.
But Gu Jianyi never expected that she would be abducted by Youtian and become the Holy Maiden of Youtian.
However, Gu Jianyi still doubted the truthfulness of Gu Xiaoxing's words. No one would easily give away such a great fortune as the True Dragon Infant, even if they were a Taoist couple.
Gu Jian's thoughts turned slightly, and he said: "That's a pity, my fortune is not lower than that of a true dragon infant."
Gu Xiaoxing knew that the other party was testing him, but he still said, "Oh? What is the destiny that Senior Gu is talking about?!"
Gu Jian glanced at Gu Xiaoxing and said, "Have you ever heard of... a true spirit?!"
Gu Xiaoxing was shocked, but pretended to be confused and shook his head.
"The true spirit is a strange life in the ancient true world. It is born naturally, so it is also called the innate true spirit." said the ancient sword.
Gu Xiaoxing listened to Gu Jianyi's words and thought about it in his heart.
"Life in the ancient world?"
"That is to say, just as I thought at the beginning, the innate true spirits of the ancient true world and the true spirits born in the first era of the ancient immortal world are not related at all. They are not of the same species, but just in name only."
Gu Jianyi continued, "Each of the innate true spirits is extremely powerful. When they are born, they have at least the cultivation level of a spirit, and they have their own innate skills."
"And the birth of this kind of innate true spirit is, for a cultivator, a great fortune that is no less than that of a true dragon baby!"
"We in Jianyi Valley have discovered a born innate true spirit!"
Gu Xiaoxing thought it sounded a bit unreliable. If it was such a great fortune, why bother looking for me? Can't he just go and get it himself?
Gu Jianyi seemed to see through his confusion and said, "This kind of fortune is rare in tens of thousands of years, and only Jian Yigu knows about this."
"There aren't many disciples in Jianyi Valley to begin with. Even if you're included, you won't be able to take away much of the good fortune..."
"After all, I am only a clone. I cannot be complete, nor can I reach the peak I once was..."
“Whether it’s the Vermillion Bird’s True Essence, the True Dragon’s Infant, or the Birth of a True Spirit, they are all just to cultivate the next supreme being.”
"Do you remember Chen Zili? I like him very much."
Gu Xiaoxing was startled and asked, "Senior, are you saying that you did all this for Chen Zili?"
Gu Jianyi shook his head slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "Yes and no. After all, I am not Gu Jianyi. I don't have that kind of ambition. Compared to the cage of reality, the cage in the heart is more difficult to break."
"I saw the shadow of Gu Jianyi in Chen Zili, so I let him go to see what the scenery outside the cage is like on Gu Jianyi's behalf, so as to satisfy the remaining resentment in my heart."
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Gu Jianyi and this clone, feeling inexplicably desolate. He was like an old man whose life had come to the end, as if he had seen through everything in the world, and as if he had imprisoned himself in a cage and was unwilling to come out.
Yet, it also carries an indescribable sense of freedom and is full of contradictions.
“Ahem…!”
Gu Xiaoxing coughed dryly and said, "But Senior Gu, I really don't have a True Dragon Infant to trade with you anymore."
Gu Jian narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing it, and looked at Gu Xiaoxing seriously, as if trying to find a clue.
Gu Xiaoxing looked sincere, but he was actually a little nervous. Even if the person in front of him was just a clone, he was still Gu Jianyi's clone, and his cultivation level was at least the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation.
"It should be fine. The Qingyan Palace in my body can temporarily avoid cause and effect. In addition, I also practice the art of controlling life. He shouldn't be able to see the trick."
Gu Jianyi really didn't see anything, but he still said, "Boy, think clearly. You have already absorbed the true essence of the Vermillion Bird. The True Dragon Infant will not be as helpful to you as you think."
"The wine you just drank was actually brewed from the innate true essence that was born when the innate true spirit was born."
"If you agree to this deal, you can then absorb the pure innate true essence, which will be much more effective than this wine."
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. If it was true as the other party said, then this innate true essence was no worse than that of a real dragon infant.
But he still pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But now this generation really doesn't have any real dragon babies in their hands."
Gu Jianyi sighed and said, "Well, I can only say that Chen Zili has no chance with them."
“But…!”
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly changed the subject and said, "Although I don't have a real dragon baby, I do have this golden dragon baby!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxing turned his hand and a crystal stone that looked like a coiled golden dragon appeared. It was the Golden Dragon Infant!
Gu Jian took a look at it, shook his head, and said, "This golden dragon baby is indeed extraordinary, but if there is only one..."
“Ahem…!”
Gu Xiaoxing cleared his throat, "Who said I only have one left?!"
Gu Jianyi raised his eyebrows, "How many do you have?"
Gu Xiaoxing smiled, and then the two sides completed a deal after a conversation.
In the end, Gu Xiaoxing exchanged twenty golden dragon babies for the opportunity to give birth to an innate true spirit.
Of course, Gu Xiaoxing only gave three golden dragons as a "deposit" and also accepted a large gourd of innate true essence wine from Gu Jian.
The transaction will only begin when the time is right.
In fact, if Gu Jian hadn't told him many secrets from the beginning, including the matter of his father-in-law.
Moreover, his attitude was sincere, without any sign of pretense, and he even mentioned Chen Zili later.
If it weren't for all these reasons, Gu Xiaoxing would not have considered this deal at all.
Even if the great fortune the other party described might be true, Gu Xiaoxing did not have to obtain it.
He may be greedy, but he must also be on guard against others.
He will even ask his father-in-law for advice after he returns.
If his father-in-law thinks that this matter is not feasible, he will give up without hesitation, even if it means giving up the three golden dragon babies!
This is the caution of Gu Xiaoxing. He values his life more than anyone else!
