Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 509: Ancient Hengyang
Gu Xiaoxing used his Tianming eyes to travel across billions of miles and saw the huge skeleton of Gu Jianyi. He also saw the even bigger giant that emerged after the endless fire curtain was cut open!
Gu Jianyi's skeleton was like an ant under the giant's feet!
The giant sat cross-legged in the fire curtain. When the fire curtain was cut open, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the ancient sword reflected in them. Without showing any expression, he just pointed.
Billions of miles away, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't see the power of the giant's finger. He just saw that under the finger, Gu Jianyi suddenly turned his head and seemed to look at him!
Then, the bones turned into ashes, and the Tianyi Sword also turned into ashes. Everything... disappeared!
Gu Xiaoxing stared blankly ahead, at the distance, at the fiery red world, and at the giant behind the curtain of fire!
At this moment, he was shocked, but his heart was wailing.
Gu Jianyi, it was as if he had never appeared!
But the word "Xiaoxing" and the look he gave her before she disappeared, Gu Xiaoxing could never forget.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing finally realized how difficult it was to break the cage as the world said.
In his eyes, Gu Jianyi, who was already as powerful as the sky, was still destroyed by a single finger. Is there any hope for the living beings in this cage to break out?
When the ancient sword completely dissipated, behind the fire curtain, the giant slowly retracted his hand, and the fire curtain that was cut open was slowly healing, trying to close again.
But the giant 's gaze fell on Gu Xiaoxing across billions of miles.
Gu Xiaoxing just stood far away and looked at the giant!
The weird thing is that, although the giant is clearly infinitely below Gu Xiaoxing, Gu Xiaoxing has a feeling that he is looking up at a god, which makes him want to lower his head!
But Gu Xiaoxing understood that he could not bow his head, nor could he escape, so he just looked straight into the giant's eyes!
Gu Jianyi was right. This was a path he had paved for Gu Xiaoxing. Gu Xiaoxing would have to face it sooner or later. If he didn't want to be imprisoned in a cage forever, he couldn't escape!
Because, if he ran away at this moment, perhaps he would never be able to face the giant's gaze again, and he would never have the courage to stand in front of the giant and fight against him.
So, even though his eyes began to bleed under the giant's gaze, Gu Xiaoxing did not lower his head!
All along, Gu Xiaoxing seemed timid, but in fact, in the entire cage world, there are few people braver than him!
This can be seen from the fact that he dared to leave the village alone to search for immortals. Gu Xiaoxing has a daring and fighting spirit in his bones!
Finally, when the fire curtain slowly closed, the giant's figure completely disappeared from Gu Xiaoxing's sight, and there was emptiness and silence in all directions.
The next moment, the Nine-Layered Divine Sea enveloped Gu Xiaoxing, isolating him from all the high temperatures. He slowly raised his hand and wiped the blood off his face.
Then he bowed deeply towards the front, towards the place where the ancient sword disappeared!
"Thank you... Senior Gu!"
After saying this, Gu Xiaoxing turned around, went straight up, and soared away!
Gu Xiaoxing did not look back, but one day, he will come here again to complete what his predecessors had failed to do!
At the same time, this is also something that Gu Xiaoxing must accomplish for the sake of his own path!
The time it takes to become a god is only fifty thousand years, which is too short!
He had promised that they would have many eons!
To do this, he needs to remove all obstacles and break all cages!
Just as what the red-clothed man Luo Xiu said before entering the mortal world.
The promise made, the disaster that fell!
Gu Xiaoxing...can't hide!
Going all the way up, the world is a silent red, and the fiery red light spreads endlessly, illuminating everything!
As we go upward, the temperature gradually decreases, but the rate of decrease is very slow.
This means that Gu Xiaoxing has reached a very deep place beneath the thick soil.
In this fiery red world with an overly high temperature, even his magical powers were greatly reduced in power. It would be faster for him to fly here.
But suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing paused and stopped, he remembered something!
Before, when the Sky Eye and the Dark Eye were fully opened, Gu Xiaoxing had a strange feeling.
Including earlier, when Gu Xiaoxing was chased by the innate true spirit, causing the thick soil to be broken, and when he wanted to use the Seven Wonders Star Shift to escape, he also had a strange feeling.
But once because of the shock brought to him by Gu Jianyi and the giant, and another time because of the timely arrival of the ban, he was diverted both times and did not investigate further.
But when I suddenly think about it now, I feel something is wrong!
Once in Fang Qingqing’s dream of the dead, Gu Xiaoxing had seen the stars!
He had also opened the Eye of Heaven and Earth twice in the second barrier world of the cage, and witnessed the real starlight blooming from Hengyang!
Now in this world of red light, he opened the Eye of Heaven again, thinking back to what happened just now, there was clearly... starlight here too!
Moreover, the starlight here is even more magnificent and brighter than the starlight emitted by Hengyang in the barrier world!
Starlight is a special kind of light that only stars can shine!
Ordinary people can only see the source of this kind of light, but cannot see the additional light that spreads infinitely!
But under the Eye of Tianming, Gu Xiaoxing could see that the starlight was a unique color in his eyes!
Moreover, even if Gu Xiaoxing couldn't see it, he could still sense it when he performed the Qiqiao Star Shift, allowing him to move by following the starlight!
This is also the reason why he felt strange when he wanted to perform the Seven Wonders Star Shift after the thick soil was opened up!
Because in addition to the starlight that simulates the stars blooming in his body, there is also starlight blooming in this world of red light!
In other words, there are stars here... too? !
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly turned around and looked at the endless fire curtain below again. A shocking thought appeared in his mind!
That's not a fire curtain at all!
That was an extremely huge... Hengyang!
Whether it was from the memory of the remnant soul of Suzaku or from the star visualization diagram of practicing the Seven Wonders of Star Shift, Gu Xiaoxing had seen it all!
On the vast continent of the ancient true world, how huge is the sun that the Sun-Picking Giant picked up!
At the beginning, Gu Xiaoxing had suspected that the Hengyang in the second barrier world might not be the same Hengyang picked by the giant, because the difference between them was too huge!
Especially when practicing the Qiqiao Star Shift, Gu Xiaoxingguantu simulated Hengyang and understood how huge Hengyang was on that vast continent!
It is far from being comparable to the Tens of Millions of Miles of Constant Sun in the Second Barrier World. It can even be said that it is thousands of times smaller!
And at this moment, as Gu Xiaoxing saw the endless and majestic starlight here, he suddenly understood!
They are indeed not the same Hengyang!
If Gu Xiaoxing guessed correctly, then the Hengyang picked by the giant should be at the bottom of this red light world!
At the same time, it is also below the entire cage!
Since it is the Hengyang of the ancient true world, let’s call it the Taigu Hengyang!
The so-called blocked cage actually meant that the road was blocked by Taigu Hengyang!
And the giant we saw before, could it be... the Sun-catching Giant? !
"wrong!"
Gu Xiaoxing immediately denied it. Although the giant was strong, he should not be as strong as the Sun-Picking Giant!
It’s just that they were too far apart, and the giant’s strength was far superior to Gu Xiaoxing’s. Even after opening the Eye of Heaven, he couldn’t see the giant’s appearance clearly.
But I always feel that it is somewhat similar to the sun-catching giant!
"Perhaps, he is a clone left behind by the Sun-Picking Giant?!"
Gu Xiaoxing still vaguely remembers what the Sun-Picking Giant said in the memory of the remaining soul of Suzaku.
The general idea seems to be saying that Fan Long came from the ancient fairyland and witnessed the destruction of the ancient real world, and the Sun-Picking Giant wanted Fan Long to take some people away.
These people should be the survivors of the ancient true world!
Gradually, a clearer picture emerged in Gu Xiaoxing's mind!
Everything comes from the True Ancient Immortal Realm and from the Jiu Ming Mountain!
When Jiu Ming Mountain was destroyed by Gu Xiaochen, Fang Qingqing died in battle, and the next generation of Jiu Ming girl, Fang Qingyun, came into being!
Under the protection of the black coffin, Fang Qingyun escaped from Jiuming Mountain and went to the star where the corpse of the First True Spirit, the Yudao True Spirit, was!
In the end, using the nine-legged cauldron lifted by the True Spirit of the Dao as a boat, he crossed the starry sky, left the True Ancient Immortal Realm, and went to the Taikoo True Realm!
According to the Sun-Picking Giant, the ancient true world had also been destroyed at that time. The giant stopped the Nine-legged Cauldron and sent the survivors of the ancient true world into the cauldron.
For unknown reasons, the giant took off the Taikoo Hengyang, threw it into the cauldron, and sealed the cauldron!
Gu Xiaoxing's heart was shocked. Now, everything was clear and everything made sense!
Perhaps there are many subtleties involved.
For example, why is Fang Qingqing's corpse in the barrier world? Why is there a second Hengyang in the barrier world?
Why is there a giant sitting on the ancient Hengyang that sealed the Great Cauldron? Is he really an incarnation of the Sun-Picking Giant?!
Gu Xiaoxing has no way of answering these questions, but the general direction should be correct!
Compared to these subtle questions, Gu Xiaoxing wanted to know more about where the Nine-legged Cauldron went after it left the Ancient Realm?
Is he still wandering in the ancient world, or has he already gone to another world of cultivation?
Even more, is this nine-legged tripod floating aimlessly on its own, or is there someone... controlling it?
For a moment, as thoughts gradually become clearer, more doubts will arise!
Just as Gu Jian said, the more you know, the deeper your doubts become!
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing interrupted his own thoughts forcibly. If he continued to think, he would only fall into an endless maze and be unable to extricate himself!
At least, he still has things he should do waiting for him to do!
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep look below and murmured, "One day, I will come here again to find out the truth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxing immediately activated the eight stars in his body, and at a speed twice or even three times the speed of light, he climbed up the endless starlight and escaped!
Here, there is infinite starlight, and there is no need for a lonely little star to spread it by itself.
Therefore, his speed reached the extreme, faster than ever before, and he even felt that it could be even faster!
But Gu Xiaoxing's current strength does not allow him to do so.
Because it was approaching a certain speed, it was beyond the range of what Gu Xiaoxing could see clearly, and it was easy to lose direction in the starlight, resulting in flying around.
