Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 460: The Eight Sufferings of the World, Half of Which is Love
He took one step and went up ninety thousand miles. Two breaths later, Gu Xiaoxing once again crossed the ninety thousand miles of sky and appeared in the deep space outside Xiaohuang.
At the moment of flying into deep space, Gu Xiaoxing saw a giant bronze sword lying in front of him!
The tip of the giant sword pointed directly at Gu Xiaoxing, and on the tip of the giant sword stood a person, it was Gu Jianyi!
Gu Jianyi still looked casual, with a wine jug hanging around his waist and an ancient sword on his back. He looked like an earthly knight.
However, at this moment, only the scabbard was left of the sword on Gu Jianyi's back, and the long sword had obviously turned into a giant bronze sword under his feet.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at it curiously, and couldn't tell what level of magic weapon the sword was. He just felt that there was a terrifying power hidden in it.
When Gu Jian saw Gu Xiaoxing, he smiled and said, "My dear friend, I've been waiting for a long time."
Gu Xiaoxing appeared on the bronze giant sword in one step and said, "I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, Senior."
In fact, it was not that Gu Xiaoxing saw Gu Jianyi in the deep space across the 90,000-mile sky, but that he sensed the thoughts conveyed by Gu Jianyi.
Without seeing Gu Jianyi making any movement, the huge bronze sword started to move on its own, carrying the two of them, breaking through the air, and only uttered Gu Jianyi's words with a hint of profound meaning.
"For a cultivator, the more ties that bind him, the harder it is to walk. Why don't you cut off the ties? I believe that with your talent, you will shine . You are one of the most promising people I have ever seen to break free from the cage."
Gu Xiaoxing glanced at Gu Jianyi. It was obvious that the other party had seen the scene of him saying goodbye to the people in the Soul-Devouring Sect. There was indeed a deep connection between them.
But Gu Xiaoxing was determined in his heart. Although he did not practice the way of love, he did not practice the way of ruthlessness either.
"What the senior said may be true. The Great Dao is ruthless and free of ties, so one can naturally go further. But my Dao can cut off many things, except ties."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jian suddenly laughed and said, "My friend, you are wrong about this. The Great Dao has always existed, and everything can be created. Love is just one of the thousands of Great Daos. How can the Great Dao be heartless?"
"It's just that anyone who is involved in this path is often accompanied by separation and death. This accounts for most of the eight sufferings in the world, so it is difficult for those who follow the path of love to succeed!"
“That’s why most cultivators choose to cultivate the ruthless path.”
Gu Xiaoxing listened to Gu Jianyi's words, thinking deeply.
He thought of Zhou Shoutai. If the other party had even the slightest attachment in his heart, how could he have cultivated from ordinary talent to the Nascent Soul stage!
Perhaps, cutting off all ties would allow one to go further, but Gu Xiaoxing had no interest in such a path.
When a person walks to the end and is left alone, Gu Xiaoxing doesn’t understand the meaning of going on.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxing remained silent, Gu Jianyi did not say anything more. This simple discussion ended hastily, and the giant bronze sword went straight towards the Xuantian Continent.
Gu Xiaoxing also stood on the tip of the giant sword. In fact, the sword was not very big, only a few dozen feet long, but under the control of Gu Jianyi, its speed was incredibly fast.
He felt that it was not much inferior to his own use of the Seven Wonders Star Shift. Moreover, looking at Gu Jianyi's calm look, it was obvious that the other party had not yet used his full strength!
However, compared with Dongfang's father-in-law's terrifying speed that completely ignores the constraints of space, it is still far behind.
Gu Xiaoxing stepped on the giant sword under his feet. He wondered how this bronze sword compared to the nine ancient swords of the Yujian Sect. It should be at least a treasure for the immortals, right? !
Thinking of the treasure of immortality, Gu Xiaoxing became a little annoyed again. Not only had Mingling and Diaotian not yet completed the fusion, but even the broken ring he got from Wen Cang Laodao could not be opened after several attempts!
He thought that by torturing it repeatedly with the Yang Shen Drum, the broken ring would be defeated.
But Gu Xiaoxing found that he had underestimated the willpower of the immortal treasures. It seemed that the higher these treasures were, the worse their tempers became. Several times, his jaw was dislocated due to reciting the ancient words in the Yangshen Drum, and the broken ring did not surrender!
In the end, only Gu Xiaoxing could surrender.
But the feud has already been formed, and he swore that when he becomes a god, that is the day this broken ring will beg for mercy!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing looked at Gu Jianyi. With the other party's strength, he should be able to help him refine this immortal treasure. As long as he asked, perhaps the other party would be willing to do so.
But in the end, Gu Xiaoxing still didn't say anything, because he thought of Dongfang Yexuan's words, Gu Jianyi can be trusted, but not completely!
The bronze sword flew to the Xuantian Continent, and its speed seemed to be a little faster, almost equivalent to flying at the speed of light. At such a fast speed, Gu Xiaoxing had to concentrate all his strength to see the scenery passing by below.
When he first arrived at Xuantian Continent, Gu Xiaoxing was inevitably excited because of the novelty.
But now, flying over the sky of Xuantian Continent again, Gu Xiaoxing no longer has the same feeling of excitement as before.
The Xuantian Continent is indeed large. Compared to the small wasteland, it can be described as majestic and endless.
But for Gu Xiaoxing, who had seen the more majestic Jiuming Mountain, the more endless Hengyang Continent, and even the boundless galaxy, this Xuantian Continent seemed to be nothing.
Vision can really determine a person's attitude towards things.
Looking at Gu Xiaoxing with a calm face, Gu Jianyi was a little surprised. When they first met in the Yu Jian Sect, he was just a young man, but in the blink of an eye, he had changed so much.
No wonder he dared to compete with Yang Tian!
In Gu Jianyi's eyes, Yang Tian is also one of the few people who has the hope of breaking out of the cage!
"Dongfang Yexuan, are you on the way?" Gu Jian suddenly spoke.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes narrowed, with a sense of vigilance in the depths of his eyes, and he asked, "What do you mean, senior?"
"You don't need to test me. I can roughly guess what the Dongfang kid wants to do. I'd rather say that I hope he can survive the calamity of Nirvana. I don't want to see Xuantian Territory in chaos at this time."
Gu Jian kept speaking frankly and did not wait for Gu Xiaoxing to answer. He suddenly waved his hand, and the world quickly became blurry. When it became clear again, four huge mountains appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxing!
"We're here!" A faint voice came from Gu Jian.
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath. Since the other party intended to divert the attention of Dongfang's father-in-law, he would not mention it again. However, he still analyzed from Gu Jianyi's words that Dongfang's father-in-law should have indeed left Xuantian Realm to transcend the tribulation.
Of course, he hoped that his father-in-law Dongfang could successfully overcome the tribulation and return. Just as Gu Jianyi said, if Dongfang Yexuan did not come back, Xuantian Realm would be in chaos!
But this kind of thing was completely beyond Gu Xiaoxing's control. In the end, he shifted his attention to the mountain ahead.
At this moment, in front of the two of them, there stood four huge mountains. Each of them was far higher than the Foundation Building Mountain and reached a height of thousands of miles!
Especially when the four peaks stand together, it looks even more magnificent!
But in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, they did not look like four big mountains, but like a more magnificent mountain, divided into four mountains by two huge canyons.
The cross valley in this mountain is... Jianyi Valley!
"Did you see that?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "This mountain was originally nameless. My master achieved success here by cutting through the mountain to prove his truth. These two valleys were created by him cutting through the mountain. Later, he founded a sect and this is how the Jianyi Valley came into being."
Gu Xiaoxing thought to himself that it was no wonder. He could always feel a sharp and oppressive aura from this valley. It must be the sword intent left behind by Senior Gu Jianyi when he chopped the mountain.
"The innate true spirit is in Jianyi Valley?" asked Gu Xiaoxing.
"Yes, no. You better go in first."
The bronze sword moved again, slowly flying towards the valley. Although the speed was not fast, looking at the deep valley, Gu Xiaoxing still couldn't help feeling scared.
The truth is that he didn't have a very good impression of Jianyi Valley. There was a rumor that it was easy to enter the valley but difficult to leave!
As the view gradually darkened, the two entered the valley and continued to move forward. They did not encounter any guards or the like, and the surroundings were quiet.
The mountain walls are smooth and there is no grass or trees. The further you go in, the more depressing it feels. It doesn't feel like you are walking through a valley, but more like wandering on a desolate and deserted path. The surroundings are deathly silent.
It really is a great place to kill and rob!
Gu Xiaoxing swallowed and subconsciously glanced at the ancient sword beside him.
“That shouldn’t be the case!”
Just when Gu Xiaoxing was feeling anxious, the sky ahead suddenly became clear. It was no longer dark and a faint fluorescence appeared.
It was a sword, a giant sword that was a thousand feet long. A huge chain was wrapped around the sword. There were dense runes on the chain, and the faint fluorescent light was flashing from those countless runes.
Moreover, Gu Xiaoxing also discovered that the sword seemed to be somewhat similar to the bronze sword under his feet, but it was more ancient and heavy, and exuded an extremely sharp aura.
While feeling the sharp intention, Gu Xiaoxing inexplicably remembered the sword swung by the young man with five clones when he was fighting for the Suzaku Essence in the second level of the Barrier World!
Tianyi Sword!
The sword intent that burst out from the young man at that time seemed to be of the same origin as the sword wrapped in chains at this moment!
Next to the giant sword, there is a large stone tablet with four words engraved on it...Tianyi Sword Tomb!
Sword tomb?
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the sword thoughtfully. He could clearly feel that the sword was extremely extraordinary, but it seemed to be sealed for some reason.
But Gu Jianyi did not explain, and Gu Xiaoxing did not ask much. He just saw a figure sitting cross-legged under the giant sword in the sword tomb.
It was Chen Zili, whom I hadn’t seen for many years!
Chen Zili seemed to have also noticed the flying bronze sword and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the two people on the sword, especially when he saw Gu Xiaoxing, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but other than that, there was no extra expression on his face.
"This idiot Chen hasn't changed after all these years!" Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but mutter.
As the ancient sword waved gently, Chen Zili disappeared in the sword tomb and appeared on the bronze sword.
