Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 424: Asking the question of life, but not the answer outside the cage
All the black kittens were unable to move, but a voice was heard again.
"Second question, are there gods above the Nine Heavens?!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in the space, as if something was breaking through the layers of space from the invisible.
The next moment, a beam of light suddenly fell, directly breaking through Dongfang Yexuan's frozen space and descending onto a black kitten.
“Earthly Evil Star God…appear!”
Suddenly, all the kittens began to swell up, and the aura on their bodies became more ferocious. Thousands of scarlet vertical eyes stared at Dongfang Yexuan at the same time.
The strength of each of its kittens is enough to crush a Great Perfection Spiritual Transformation cultivator. Even if thousands of them are added together, it would be extremely terrifying!
When they pounced together again, Dongfang Yexuan made a hand seal for the first time.
He was seen standing upright, making hand gestures with one hand, and at this moment, his pupils turned into vertical pupils. Unlike the scarlet vertical pupils of those kittens, Dongfang Yexuan had a pair of dark blue vertical pupils.
The next moment, a chill several times more terrifying than the frozen space just now suddenly broke out and intertwined into a storm. The storm was neither ice nor snow, but it was countless times more terrifying than an ice and snow storm.
It was completely condensed from the coldness, like countless cold lights flowing, or as if the space was frozen and then crushed into a vortex.
In an instant, countless ferocious kittens were crushed into pieces by the coldness and scattered in the flowing cold light!
Until there was only one kitten left, he fought hard and gradually transformed into a human form, his face turning extremely pale.
This person was asking Cang Lao Dao. He showed a bit of madness on his face and made hand gestures again and said, "Three questions..."
However, just after he said two words, a big bloody hole suddenly exploded in Wen Cang Laodao's chest and his voice stopped abruptly.
Finally, the time limit for his forced breakthrough has come, and it is the end.
Dongfang Yexuan sighed lightly and slowly withdrew his hand. The endless cold light also dissipated, leaving only Wen Canglaodao, who was attacked by the backlash of his martial arts and had a bloody hole in his chest.
The blood hole was still spreading and expanding, seemingly unstoppable. Wen Canglao suddenly smiled bitterly and looked up at the sky.
"I have been asking questions all my life, but I still cannot find out what is outside the cage...!"
Finally, Wen Cang Laodao's figure completely disappeared between heaven and earth...
Dongfang Yexuan looked at the place where Wen Canglaodao disappeared and murmured, "One day, someone will challenge the Nine Heavens and break through all the cages..."
For some reason, Dongfang Yexuan turned his gaze to Gu Xiaoxing who was still trembling in the distance.
Gu Xiaoxing saw the ending, but he still couldn't stand the terrifying chill that his father-in-law had emitted before. In fact, he didn't want to tremble!
"Tsk, waste!"
A voice and a figure appeared out of nowhere, then looked at Gu Xiaoxing with some disgust.
Gu Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly and wanted to shout "Father-in-law is mighty", but felt that something was wrong.
Dongfang Yexuan ignored what Gu Xiaoxing was thinking, and said to himself: "After this, no one should dare to have any extra thoughts in the short term."
"I have already made arrangements for Dongfang Yu. She needs to remain in seclusion for a year to complete her transformation into a spirit. After that, she will completely inherit the inheritance of the indestructible ancient treasure, Xuantian Palace."
"You can go to Xuantian Palace to look for her in a year. You don't need me to teach you what to do then, right?"
"ah!?"
Gu Xiaoxing didn't react for a moment. From what his father-in-law said, it seemed that he was going to abandon him here and not care about him?
So he hurriedly asked: "Where should I go next?!"
Dongfang Yexuan looked at Gu Xiaoxing as if he were an idiot and said, "Go wherever you want, but just get out of here. This year is very important to Dongfang Yu, so don't bother her."
The reason why Gu Xiaoxing was still in a dazed state was because the battle between the immortals just now was too shocking and he was unable to recover for a while.
Seeing his father-in-law was about to leave, he hurriedly called out, "Father-in-law, wait a minute!"
Dongfang Yexuan stopped and looked at him with a frown.
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, took out a wine gourd and handed it over, saying: "Besides the True Dragon Infant, this is all I have left. Xiaoyu is going to become a god, and these innate true essence wines should be able to help her."
Dongfang Yu's cultivation has reached the limit of what she can achieve, and she can no longer absorb and refine more true dragon babies.
On the contrary, this innate true essence wine can greatly condense the soul and spirit, and it is indeed of great help and benefit to the transformation of the spirit.
When Dongfang Yexuan put away the wine gourd, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes turned, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "When I was in the Barrier World before, when the Transformation Lord Zhang Diqing and I became sworn brothers..."
When Gu Xiaoxing said this, he immediately felt a sharp chill coming over him, the kind of chill that was definitely enough to beat someone to death.
This immediately made Gu Xiaoxing's heart tremble. He thought that Zhang Diqing would not act so quickly.
But now looking at my father-in-law's reaction, could it be that they have become sworn brothers?
This Zhang Diqing has such quick skills!!
Gu Xiaoxing had been looked down upon by his father-in-law many times, so although he had never dared to say anything on the surface, he was Gu Xiaoxing after all, and as a vengeful person as he was, it was inevitable that he would feel resentful deep down in his heart.
Once this resentment appears, if Gu Xiaoxing doesn't vent his anger through revenge, he will feel uncomfortable all over.
Even if this person is your father-in-law!
Originally, he wanted to use Zhang Diqing as a go-between to establish sworn brotherhood with both sides and to disgust Dongfang's father-in-law a little.
But ever since Gu Xiaoxing learned about the calamity of Nirvana from Gu Jianyi, he no longer had this thought.
After this farewell, he didn't know if they would see each other again, so how could he possibly plot against his father-in-law again? He even felt guilty for the first time.
Therefore, he also wanted to take this opportunity to reveal this matter, but he didn't expect that Zhang Diqing was so nimble!
"Now that it's already happened, you can't blame me, Third Brother. I didn't mean to sell you out. Please accept my condolences!"
Gu Xiaoxing thought about it in his heart, but on the surface he looked at his father-in-law with extreme surprise and confusion.
Dongfang Yexuan already knew that he had been tricked by this time. He stared at Gu Xiaoxing coldly, as if he wanted to see the clues in the other's eyes to see if it had anything to do with him.
Unfortunately, Gu Xiaoxing's acting skills are getting better and better. Dongfang Yexuan didn't see anything. He then suppressed all his chill and said, "Continue."
Gu Xiaoxing deliberately concealed the confusion in his eyes, pretended to be relieved, and continued: "At that time, Zhang Diqing told me that he had deduced that the cage was not yet ready to be broken."
In fact, Zhang Diqing did not say this at the time, but this was roughly the meaning.
The reason why Gu Xiaoxing said this was because he wanted his father-in-law to focus on saving his life rather than really trying to break the cage that no one could break for eternity by himself.
In this way, my father-in-law might have a greater chance of survival.
Of course, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't say this directly. He could only convey the message in this indirect way, which couldn't even be considered a reminder.
Since my father-in-law dared to overcome the tribulation in advance, he must have known what was going on. Gu Xiaoxing is not qualified to instruct a fairyland on what to do. If he said it clearly, he would only bring shame upon himself and would be measuring the sea with a clamshell.
Even if he only said this, Gu Xiaoxing was already self-righteous, but this was the only thing he could do.
Or, it could be called a powerless hope, hoping that my father-in-law can survive the disaster safely.
Dongfang Yexuan glanced at Gu Xiaoxing, and after a brief silence, he suddenly asked, "Who is older, Zhang Diqing or you?"
Gu Xiaoxing deliberately showed more doubt in his eyes, and even pretended to answer "truthfully", saying: "Zhang Diqing is the Lord of Change Heaven, so he is naturally the eldest brother. Why does my father-in-law ask this?"
Dongfang Yexuan did not answer, but the coldness was obvious, indicating that he was in a bad mood at the moment. He took a step forward and disappeared on the spot, leaving only a few faint words.
"Remember your words."
Gu Xiaoxing mourned for his third brother in his heart, but he didn't know whether his father-in-law would survive the tribulation first, or go to Bian Tian Realm to kill Zhang Diqing first.
Gu Xiaoxing bowed deeply in the direction where Dongfang Yexuan left.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head, looked into the distance, and murmured, "Xiaoyu and I will wait for your return!"
Then, Gu Xiaoxing gathered his thoughts and was about to turn around, but he discovered a little starlight shining in the distance.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Without too much doubt, the starlight flashed by at an incredible speed and appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxing in an instant. When he took a closer look, he found that it was actually a ring!
Gu Xiaoxing blinked, "Looks a little familiar!"
Suddenly, he remembered, wasn't this the ring on Wen Cang Laodao's hand?
In an instant, Gu Xiaoxing's heart began to beat wildly, and he couldn't suppress his excitement. This was... the storage treasure of the ancestor of Wen Cang Palace? !
How terrifying would it be for a person who has lived for nearly 50,000 years and has reached the Great Perfection of Spiritual Transformation to have his life's collection? !
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't believe it and even wondered if he was dreaming. My father-in-law actually gave this to me! ?
He originally thought that given his father-in-law's temper, he would not care about these things at all and would destroy everything completely, but he didn't expect that he actually had a trick up his sleeve.
Gu Xiaoxing was so moved that she almost burst into tears, and she shouted loudly again in the direction where Dongfang Yexuan left.
"Father-in-law, you must come back!"
Then, Gu Xiaoxing reached out to take the storage ring, calmed his thoughts, turned his head to look at the two huge pits below, and couldn't help but sigh.
“Although the ring of the old ancestor Wen Cang was left behind, with so many Divine Transformation cultivators, there should be many valuable treasures in the Wen Cang Palace…”
"Oh! What a pity... My father-in-law... is such a spendthrift!"
"Let's leave this place first! The news of the destruction of the Cang Palace will probably spread soon!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxing found a direction, took one step and traveled ten thousand miles directly across.
Although it was his first time walking around in Xuantian Territory, he had a rough map of the continent in his mind. After all, he had read Dongfang Yu's past memories, so he would not rush in recklessly.
But now his father-in-law doesn't let him go back to Xuantian Palace. In the vast Xuantian Continent, Gu Xiaoxing really doesn't know where to go for a while.
"Forget it, let's go back to the small wasteland and report that we are safe. We left in such a hurry last time that Qianxing and Xiaozhuhuo must be worried sick."
"As for Xu Qianming, I just don't believe that evil. I will get rid of the sticker that silences him this time!"
