Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 463: The Realm of Existence and Non-Existence
When everyone left, only Gu Xiaoxing and Azhi and Alan were left there.
Li A'lan still had a hostile look on his face as he looked at Gu Xiaoxing. Unlike Siming, he did not conceal the hostility in his eyes at all.
Li Azhi also did not look happy, and her face was even colder. She held the long sword in her bare hands, looking like an iceberg sword fairy.
Gu Xiaoxing also discovered that the people in Jianyi Valley never seemed to leave their swords, nor did they put them into their bodies, let alone into storage space.
I like to hold it in my hands, carry it on my back, or hold it in my arms, like a treasure.
This is something that Gu Xiaoxing cannot understand.
Li Azhi walked up to Li Alan and brushed the dust off him. Even when facing her own brother, the frosty look on her face remained, but her voice was a little gentler.
"Alan, go back."
Li A Lan was very obedient this time. He nodded and flew away.
Gu Xiaoxing did not say anything to stop them. After seeing what happened just now, he was really afraid that Li Azhi would get angry. Although he was not afraid of the two siblings, it would be bad if he aroused public anger.
However, seeing that Li Azhi was about to leave without saying a word, Gu Xiaoxing became unhappy again. Other things would be fine, but how could Gu Xiaoxing let it go when she chopped down the place where he lived?
Even if I can't do anything, I'll still annoy the other person!
When Gu Xiaoxing got excited, he could really be so stingy, so he hurriedly said, "I can't catch the cow, but you can take me to visit your Jianyi Valley, right?"
Li Azhi paused after hearing this, but she didn't really leave. Instead, she said coldly, "Let's go."
After saying this, Li Azhi floated away.
Gu Xiaoxing hurriedly followed and asked, "How many great masters do you have in Jianyi Valley?"
Li Azhi said nothing.
"Just now you called Siming the Second Senior Brother, you are also a true disciple, right?"
Li Azhi remained silent.
Gu Xiaoxing refused to give in and continued, "Chen Zili is also your junior fellow apprentice, right? Your masters are both valley masters?"
Li Azhi tightened the sword in her hand. She had been practicing in Jianyi Valley for many years and was used to a quiet life. She had never been bothered like this before. She was simply overwhelmed!
"You're like a lump of ice. Say something!"
Finally, Li Azhi couldn't stand it anymore, glared at Gu Xiaoxing, and said, "Since you want to visit, I will take you to visit a good place. It depends on whether you dare to go."
Gu Xiaoxing's heart skipped a beat. Since the other party said it was good, it must be bad. But if it was just a visit, what was there to be afraid of!
"Why not!"
He spoke proudly, followed up again, and continued: "You haven't answered my question just now!"
Li Azhi gritted her teeth, as if she couldn't stand Gu Xiaoxing's pestering anymore, and finally said, "Jianyi Valley, among the six true disciples, my brother and I rank fourth and fifth."
"Junior Brother Chen Zili is different. He is not only the sixth true disciple, but also the only disciple personally taught by the Valley Master."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing immediately realized that Siming's hostility was probably not directed at him, but more towards Chen Ziling!
Among the six true disciples, even the second one was already in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, but the one who was favored by the Valley Master was Chen Zili, who only had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul.
In addition, Chen Zili had only joined Jianyi Valley not long ago, so it was hard for him not to be targeted.
Affected by the Jianyi Valley's protective formation, Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual power was completely unable to be exerted, but other than that, there was not much impact. He followed Li Azhi all the way, crossed hundreds of sword mountains, and finally arrived at a valley.
In Jianyi Valley, there are two huge valleys that intersect horizontally and vertically. These are the traces left by the sword slashing by the ancient Jianyi ancestor when he was proving the Tao. If they are separated from the intersection in the middle, they can be divided into four valleys.
The valley that Gu Xiaoxing and his companions entered at this moment was different from the Sword Tomb Valley when they entered the previous valley. Before entering the valley, he saw several large words carved on the stone wall.
Sword Valley!
After asking, Gu Xiaoxing learned that these four valleys all had names. In addition to the previous Sword Tomb Valley and the Sword Realm Valley they were entering now, there were also Sword Abyss Valley and Sword Spirit Valley.
These four great sword valleys all have their own different missions, and the hundreds of sword mountains in the middle where the four great sword valleys intersect are the heartland of the sect.
In this way, Gu Xiaoxing finally had a general understanding of Jianyi Valley.
When the two entered the depths of the Sword Realm Valley, soon, a huge circular platform similar to an altar appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's sight.
In the center of the platform, there is a huge sword stele several dozen feet long. Both the sword stele and the platform are engraved with dense runes.
On top of the sword monument, an old man was sitting in the air. The old man looked like a lifeless old man.
But when Gu Xiaoxing slightly activated his Dark Eyes, he could clearly see the strong life force emanating from the old man. At the same time, there was an extremely dangerous aura blowing towards him. In just a moment, he determined the old man's level of cultivation.
The great perfection of spiritual transformation!
Only when you truly experience it, can you understand how huge the gap is between the late stage of Spirit Transformation and the great perfection of Spirit Transformation!
Even without the Ancient Sword of Truth, Gu Xiaoxing had the confidence to deal with a late stage of the Spirit Transformation if he exerted his full strength. But facing a great stage of the Spirit Transformation, he had no way at all.
It’s as if I’m in another realm altogether!
This is not a false statement. In fact, it can be seen from the lifespan.
The life span of a spiritual cultivator is roughly between 10,000 and 20,000 years. No matter what means he uses to prolong his life, it will not exceed this limit.
But when the spirit is fully transformed, the lifespan can reach 50,000 years!
Wen Cang Laodao said that he had lived to this deadline and finally burned up everything he had in order to touch the door of the avenue and the realm of immortals, but was eventually killed by the true immortal Dongfang Yexuan!
Although Gu Xiaoxing didn't know how long the old man on the sword monument had lived, it was definitely no less than ten thousand years!
And under the sword monument, there were many people sitting cross-legged. At a glance, there were no less than two hundred people!
The cultivation levels of these people vary, but the lowest one has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and many of them even have reached the Spirit Transformation stage!
There is no doubt that these are also disciples of Jianyi Valley.
Gu Xiaoxing was secretly astonished. Since coming to Jianyi Valley, he had not seen many people, but each of these people had a high level of cultivation. He had seen dozens of people who had reached the level of God Transformation alone!
If one thinks about it this way, if all the Divine Transformation cultivators in the entire Jianyi Valley are added together, there would probably be hundreds of them, right? !
No wonder people always say that everyone who walks out of Jianyi Valley is not simple. They take the high-end route. Although there are few people, their combat power is strong!
This kind of strength is much stronger than the Wencang Palace that Gu Xiaoxing had seen before!
"Just, what did she bring me here for?"
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel suspicious. He knew very well that if he was not a distinguished guest brought into the valley by the ancient sword group, Li Azhi would have come to chop him with a sword and would not have taken him to visit any good places.
The two men stepped onto the high platform of the sword monument. None of the hundreds of people sitting cross-legged around them woke up. They were still minding their own business, as if they were in some deep meditation. This made Gu Xiaoxing even more suspicious.
"Have you seen the inscription on the sword monument?" Li Azhi suddenly said, her voice always cold.
Gu Xiaoxing turned his head and saw that in addition to countless runes, there was indeed a short inscription on the sword monument.
"Concentrate your mind, meditate quietly, recite the inscriptions silently, and enter the state with your mind, then you will be able to perceive another world!" Li Azhi continued.
Gu Xiaoxing understood what he heard. This was a method of using one's consciousness to infiltrate into a different world. As for what kind of different world it was, the other party did not say clearly. It was obvious that they were trying to trick him.
Li Azhi didn't waste any time talking to Gu Xiaoxing and asked directly, "Do you dare to enter the country?"
Gu Xiaoxing immediately guessed what the other party was thinking and sneered in his heart: "This little girl wants to attack me after entering the country!"
Gu Xiaoxing really didn't take the mere early stage of the Spiritualization Realm seriously, so he glared at her and said angrily, "Why not!"
Having said that, Gu Xiaoxing sat down cross-legged beneath the sword monument, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Li Azhi saw Gu Xiaoxing's appearance, and only revealed a smile on her face after she saw that the other party seemed to be really immersed in it. This smile was extremely cold!
Then, she also sat cross-legged and silently recited the inscription.
Just after Li Azhi sat cross-legged for a moment, Gu Xiaoxing beside him opened his eyes slightly, and after seeing that Li Azhi's consciousness was indeed completely immersed, he had no more scruples and opened his eyes directly.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Li Azhi, who was just as cold as ice after closing her eyes. If this place wasn't inappropriate, he would have wanted to laugh out loud!
"Little girl, you dare to play tricks on your master? Have you grown all your hair yet?"
Unable to laugh, Gu Xiaoxing sneered instead and directly took out something from the storage space.
What he took out was a piece of charcoal, but it was not an ordinary piece of charcoal, but a rare thing. Many precious documents were written with this kind of charcoal, which can be preserved for hundreds of thousands of years and the handwriting is still clearly legible.
In other words, things written with this charcoal cannot be erased!
Gu Xiaoxing had an evil smile on his face and moved quickly, smearing charcoal on Li Azhi's face.
With Gu Xiaoxing's current level of cultivation, it is really not difficult for him to draw a picture. Not only can he do it quickly, but he can also ensure that it is lifelike.
In just three or two breaths, the big black dog Wangcai appeared on Li Azhi's face, so lifelike!
After finishing the painting, Gu Xiaoxing leaned in to admire it, nodded with satisfaction, and felt that the grievance he had suffered before was finally appeased.
So he waved his hand, prepared to leave after the work was done.
As for the matter of entering the country, it was such an obvious trap that only Gu Xiaoxing would be sick to actually jump into it.
Although he was not afraid of Li Azhi, he knew nothing about this strange place. What if there were other traps inside?
However, Gu Xiaoxing did not see that on the sword monument, the old man's eyes suddenly opened and he glanced at Gu Xiaoxing lightly.
With just one glance, Gu Xiaoxing felt his body sink slightly and he inexplicably felt something was wrong, and then a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Intention is the realm of existence, and thought is the realm of non-existence. The intention has thoughts, and the thought has illusions. Use the intention to enter the thought, and use the thought to enter the illusion. Between the intention and the thought, enter... the realm of existence and non-existence!"
What is that sound?
This... isn't this the inscription on the sword monument ?
Gu Xiaoxing was confused. He clearly didn't want to recite the inscription silently, but it seemed as if someone was reciting it for him and he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
Until the sound stopped abruptly, his eyes went dark and he fell down.
