Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 450: Meeting an old friend in an old place
The life span of a Nascent Soul is limited to five thousand years.
With Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation level of the Fifth Infant Stage, he had already reached this limit. In other words, even if Gu Xiaoxing did not break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, he could still live for another five thousand years!
However, due to the consumption of energy that Gu Xiaoxing had used in the past to perform the Life-Control Technique, he now only has a little over 4,000 years left to live.
Four thousand years of life may seem like a lot, but in this vast world, it is just a drop in the ocean.
Not to mention compared with the stars, even the foundation mountain in the small wasteland has existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
Four thousand years, in this endless river of time and space, cannot withstand any waves.
But it is undeniable that for most people, especially for mortals, four thousand years is a very long time!
Even for Gu Xiaoxing today, four thousand years seems to be quite a long time.
But, it can't withstand a hundred years of consumption in an instant!
Gu Xiaoxing was shocked and angry, and stopped the deduction instantly. It was the first time he encountered such a situation. Even when he was deducing for Dongfang Yu, under the influence of Dongfang's father-in-law, the consumption of lifespan was far from so serious!
What does this indicate?
This means that either Xu Qianming's cultivation level has surpassed Dongfang Yexuan, or this matter is extremely complicated, so complicated that it is unimaginable!
But, how is this possible? !
Gu Xiaoxing knew Xu Qianming very well. How could he be stronger than Dongfang's father-in-law?
And given his personality, there's no way he would be dragged into any big vortex.
Weird!
Everything seemed to have started with that silencing note!
Ever since Xu Qianming put on the silencing sticker, things have always gone wrong, as if God didn't want him to take it off!
So weird!
Even Xu Qianxing noticed something was wrong. Seeing a strand of Gu Xiaoxing's hair turn white in an instant, he hurried over and grabbed his hand, stopping him from continuing to make the gestures.
Gu Xiaoxing held her hand tightly, then told her his guess and finally sighed.
"It's hard to say, this matter is still my fault!"
Xu Qianxing shook his head slightly and said, "In fact, my brother has changed over the years. I believe he can handle it on his own."
Afterwards, the two bid farewell to the Sword Controlling Sect and returned to the Soul Devouring Sect.
With Gu Xiaoxing's current speed, it wouldn't take him long to fly around the entire wasteland. He just held Xu Qianxing's hand and walked in the air with his Fangcun magical power, covering tens of thousands of miles with one step.
If viewed from a distance, each step seems like the space is folding, or like the earth is shrinking into an inch, which is extremely magical.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing had an idea, turned around and took two steps forward. The scenery below changed continuously, and finally what appeared in front of the two was a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles.
Menghuai Mountains!
There is a valley in the mountains, which is deep and quiet.
Gu Xiaoxing just stood in the air, as , staring silently.
Xu Qianxing glanced at Gu Xiaoxing, and then also looked at the valley, silent. She knew where this was.
"In the blink of an eye, twenty-one years have passed..."
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly said this, raising his hand and touching the tiny red dot between his eyebrows. Whenever he noticed this red dot, he would unconsciously think of the old village chief.
As his own cultivation level grew higher and higher, his horizons became broader, and coupled with the subtle influence of the art of life-control on him, Gu Xiaoxing gradually had a premonition.
As long as you keep going and seek the truth, you will definitely see the old village chief again!
But he didn't know how long this day would take.
“You can’t escape…!”
At this moment, a voice appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's mind. His eyes condensed slightly, and his mind spread out in an instant, covering an area of 100,000 miles.
But the source of the sound was not that far away. More than a thousand miles away, several figures were seen running fast and approaching the Menghuai Mountains quickly.
Among them, one person was running on the ground, and the remaining three were flying in the air. All three of them were at the foundation-building stage, and they were chasing the running person relentlessly.
But the strange thing was that the person who was running clearly did not have any fluctuation in his cultivation level, but his running speed was not much slower than those flying foundation-building cultivators.
You have to know that there is a difference between immortals and mortals. Not to mention building a foundation, even at the Qi Condensation level, no matter the speed or strength, it is beyond the reach of mortals.
But the person running was so fast that he could make the ground collapse with almost every step, and then he would burst out in an instant and cross a distance of dozens of feet!
It is not difficult to see that although this person has no cultivation, his physical body is extremely strong, even surpassing the foundation-building stage, so he can run so fast without any cultivation.
But without cultivation, there is no cultivation at all. Even if the physical body is strong, one cannot fly, cast spells, or activate magic weapons. With so many factors different, it is impossible to escape the pursuit of a foundation-building cultivator.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
The moment he saw the few people, Gu Xiaoxing raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect to meet an old friend."
Xu Qianxing also saw those people through the divine consciousness transmitted by Gu Xiaoxing. He couldn't help showing curiosity and asked, "Who is that person?"
"His name is Qiao Song...!"
Gu Xiaoxing told all about the conflicts that had happened between him and the people from Qiqiao Sect here.
Xu Qianxing was listening with great interest.
On the other side, Qiao Song had quickly rushed into the Menghuai Mountains, seemingly trying to use the complex terrain to escape pursuit, but in fact, he was forced here.
Under the tracking of the foundation-building cultivator's spiritual sense, Qiao Song had nowhere to hide. Moreover, because he could not fly, the complex terrain would greatly affect his speed.
Therefore, his expression did not seem excited because of entering the mountains, but instead became more desperate.
The three foundation-building monks were flying over the mountains, quickly closing the distance with Qiao Song. When they were close enough, their eyes suddenly fixed at the same time, flashing a cold and fierce look.
"Let's do it together!"
After he finished speaking, the man clasped his hands together and condensed a huge fireball. The fireball emitted a dazzling light and flew straight towards Qiao Song.
The other two each cast three talismans, which also flashed with fire and contained extraordinary power.
After all, Qiao Song was once a Jindan cultivator. Although his spiritual consciousness has now dissipated, he still has perception far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can quickly move sideways and change direction.
The next moment, a fireball exploded next to him, with earth and rocks flying everywhere and heat waves rolling.
Although Qiao Song avoided fatal damage in the first place, the heat wave still caused his blood to boil. Some rocks even hit his back and embedded themselves into his flesh.
But then, when the six talismans fell from the sky, they exploded in the air before they hit the ground.
This time, even if Qiao Song reacted quickly, he had no time to dodge and was knocked over by the exploding fire wave, flying into the distance spurting blood.
Qiao Song felt dizzy and he didn't even know how far he had flown. He just kept telling himself that he couldn't die yet.
When he struggled to get up, he suddenly discovered that there were two figures standing in front of him. The moment he saw them, Qiao Song was stunned, as if petrified.
"After so many years, we meet again. I didn't expect it to be in the Menghuai Mountains." Gu Xiaoxing looked at the embarrassed figure in front of him and couldn't help but smile, "Brother Qiao, how are you these days!"
Qiao Song only reacted after hearing what Gu Xiaoxing said. There was no excitement of being rescued on his face. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Not very good."
"I see." Gu Xiaoxing said, and then looked forward.
The three foundation-building monks landed on the ground at the same time, looked at Qiao Song, then looked at Gu Xiaoxing and the other person, and then looked at each other with deeply frowned brows.
Because they did not see how Gu Xiaoxing and the other person appeared, and could not tell what their cultivation level was, they were undecided for a moment. They just felt that the half-smile on the face of the young man opposite with a wisp of white hair was a little creepy.
Finally, the leader came out, bowed, and said, "I am Zhao Shan from Qingfeng Lake. I wonder who you are."
"Gu Xiaoxing." Gu Xiaoxing smiled slightly and said only three words.
Um?
Zhao Shan's expression froze. When he heard Gu Xiaoxing's name, his heart twitched inexplicably. It seemed that his body had already begun to feel scared instinctively before his mind could react.
It was not until his mind reacted that he was startled and remembered that there was a big devil in the small wasteland, and his name was Gu Xiaoxing.
Could it be...! ?
An extremely dangerous possibility appeared in Zhao Shan's mind, making him feel fearful, especially when he saw the beautiful woman beside Gu Xiaoxing, the fear in his heart became even greater.
Although there was no portrait of Gu Xiaoxing hanging in the gate of Qingfeng Lake where Zhao Shan was located, Zhao Shan himself had been to Gucheng of the Soul-Devouring Sect and had the honor of meeting the Lord of Gucheng, Xu Qianxing, from afar.
Isn’t this the girl in front of you?
Then this lonely little star is, without a doubt, that lonely little star!
That lone star of disaster that makes everyone tremble with fear !
Zhao Shan swallowed nervously, already organizing some compliments in his mind, ready to say them and leave with the two of them.
As for Qiao Song, do whatever you want, the most important thing is to stay alive!
But just as Zhao Shan was about to speak, this voice came from his side.
"I don't care if you are Gu Xiaoxing or Gu Daxing, just mind your own business and step back. Otherwise, don't blame me and I will kill you!"
Zhao Shan felt terrible. He turned his head and looked at his teammates in a daze. He was speechless for a moment.
"Don't worry about it. I think we should just kill her. In the middle of nowhere, who would know it was us? I've never seen such a beauty before. I don't want to..."
In another part of Zhaoshan, there were also voices that refused to give in.
But he stopped talking abruptly when he was only halfway through his words. When Zhao Shan turned his head to look, he did not see his teammates, but only the ashes of their remains floating in the air.
Then, his eyes went dark and he fainted from fright.
Only one person was left standing there stupidly, until the sound of Zhao Shan falling to the ground startled him and he shuddered violently. Then he backed away, pointing forward in shock and anger, his voice trembling.
"Who the hell are you? Who are you guys?!"
"I told you, my name is Gu Xiaoxing."
Gu Xiaoxing sighed with a hint of pity, but he acted without any hesitation and pointed.
The man faced the finger and seemed to understand something. Then a white light flashed in his eyes, and he disappeared from the world with the enlightenment in his heart.
