Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 566: Compassion in the Heart but No Sadness in the Soul
Although Zhou Taizu had good intentions, he would never have thought that he would end up being harmed by the Immortal Vine!
This time was roughly ten thousand years ago.
In order to refine the Immortal Ivy into an ancient treasure that could bring immortality, Emperor Taizu of Zhou spent the last thousand years of his life and the vast resources of the Xuanshang Dynasty, and he was almost successful!
But at the most critical moment when he was about to completely control the Immortal Vine, the Immortal Vine... took action!
At this critical moment, the Immortal Vine used an extremely strange parasitic method on Zhou Taizu, and no one knew where it learned it from.
But he took control of Zhou Taizu with lightning speed.
Zhou Taizu was caught off guard and his boat capsized despite his careful planning. He was possessed by the Immortality Vine and became its parasite.
From then on, Zhou Taizu of the Xuanshang Dynasty became Zhou Changsheng!
But no one knew this. Even the very few people who knew some of the inside story just thought that Zhou Taizu was reborn after refining the Immortality Vine, so he changed his name to Zhou Changsheng.
In their hearts, he is still that Emperor Taizu of Zhou!
To date, Emperor Taizu of Zhou has lived for nearly 60,000 years. This is a secret known to only a few people in the Xuanshang Dynasty.
Among these people, three had already been killed by Gu Xiaoxing.
At this moment, the Changsheng Vine was extremely angry. It stared at Gu Xiaoxing and felt that this person was insidious, cunning, despicable and vicious!
Apart from its almost infinite vitality, the combat power of the Immortal Vine itself is actually not that great, so Zhou Taizu's body is extremely important to it!
At least 90% of its powerful fighting power can only be exerted by Zhou Taizu!
But this abominable little Gu Xing actually used an amazing magical power to attract its attention, but in fact he was secretly using illusion to trick it and use it to shatter its most important body!
Even more, Gu Xiaoxing's continuous attacks from behind did not give it any chance to repair its body, causing it to be defeated again and again!
"Despicable boy!"
The Immortal Vine transmitted the message through divine thoughts, and the voice was so angry that it wished to cut the person in front of it into pieces!
It felt that if it weren't for Gu Xiaoxing's calculations, with its strength, it would definitely be able to kill the boy and obtain the treasure of immortality.
By then, it will have the final say in the entire Xuantian Domain!
Zhou Changsheng's name will spread throughout the cage!
But all of this has now become a fantasy, all shattered by Gu Xiaoxing.
Even the body it was parasitizing was destroyed!
How can I not be angry?!
Gu Xiaoxing also suddenly realized that it was no wonder that all the methods targeting Zhou Taizu's soul were useless. It turned out that the other party was just a body controlled by the Immortal Vine.
At the same time, Gu Xiaoxing looked at the green vines rising into the sky, and his eyes gradually brightened.
This immortal vine is a treasure!
It was as if Changsheng Teng felt Gu Xiaoxing's gaze. In addition to being angry, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Although it wanted to rush forward and tear Lone Star into pieces, reason told it that it should escape first.
So, it did not hesitate, and the vines twisted and turned into a flash of green light, moving at an incredibly fast speed and disappearing in an instant.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes narrowed and he reacted quickly. He raised his hand and grabbed the Immortal Vine with his Fang Cun magical power.
But this small section of the Immortality Vine instantly turned into a dry and broken vine in Gu Xiaoxing's hand, just like cutting off its tail to survive. The real Immortality Vine had already flown away, leaving only an angry voice.
"Shameless boy, I, Zhou Changsheng, will remember this grudge. When the purple qi comes from the east, I will definitely avenge you!"
Gu Xiaoxing's face was slightly stunned and he threw away the withered vine in his hand. Even he did not expect that this Immortality Vine had such a trick.
Moreover, the speed at which this vine escaped was beyond Gu Xiaoxing's expectations.
He wanted to catch up, but he was worried about Dongfang Yu who was still lost in the illusion behind him.
At this moment, there are not only Zhou Taizu and his men near the Xuantian Palace, but also several people who have reached the great perfection of the spirit transformation hiding in the dark, and they have long been discovered by Gu Xiaoxing's magic eyes.
Although these people did not take action, Gu Xiaoxing could not possibly leave Dongfang Yu here alone.
Gu Xiaoxing was really unwilling to just let the other party leave like that, but for him, the most important thing was Dongfang Yu's safety.
Just when he was thinking that he could only give up for now and settle the score with the broken vine later, his mind suddenly moved, as if a blessing had come to his mind, and he suddenly swung his hand.
Then a bamboo pole of the same green color suddenly appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's hand. He held the pole, which was connected to a line, and the line was connected to a hook.
With Gu Xiaoxing's flick of his hand, the hook and the line flew away in an instant!
This rod is perfect for fishing for heavenly treasures!
But now, this spiritual treasure exudes the aura of a treasure that can lead to immortality!
Obviously, Ming Ling succeeded. After such a long period of sleep, he finally successfully upgraded the Diaotian Lingbao to a Tongxian treasure!
"Come back to your lonely grandfather..."
When Gu Xiaoxing swung the fishing rod, he let out a loud shout, and the hook flew thousands of miles in an instant, and caught up with the Changsheng Vine almost instantly.
This speed even far exceeds the speed of light!
It is not because Diaotian himself possesses such terrifying speed, but because Gu Xiaoxing combined it with the Fangcun magical power.
As Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation level increased, his understanding of Fang Cun's magical power became deeper and deeper.
He felt more and more that the ultimate of this great magical power was control!
Ultimate control!
As long as your heart desires, no matter how big the world is, it is just within a small space!
When Gu Xiaoxing's magical power was combined with Diaotian, it was like a perfect match, complementing each other, and directly bringing the power of Diaotian to the extreme!
Let the fishing hook ignore the distance and hit the target with one stroke!
As the Immortality Vine was winding and flying, it felt something suddenly enter its body, causing the entire vine to stiffen and stop directly in mid-air.
What's happening?!
At this moment, Changsheng Teng was a little confused.
But then, as countless barbs grew out of the vine, the pain was so severe that the Immortal Vine wished it could tear open a mouth and scream.
It finally realized that it was involved in something.
The Immortality Vine hurriedly tried to use the same trick again, transferring the part of its vitality that was involved, turning it into a dead vine, and cutting off its tail to survive.
But it suddenly discovered that those raised barbs were like nails, not only nailing its body, but also seemed to have nailed its soul and cultivation.
It actually made it unable to operate its cultivation, let alone transfer its vitality.
Then, as Gu Xiaoxing pulled the fishing rod hard, Changsheng Teng felt an irresistible force coming from behind, dragging it backwards rapidly.
Then, Gu Xiaoxing's face, which Changsheng Teng found extremely hateful, appeared in front of it.
"Let me go, you vile man!"
The Immortality Vine roared with its divine consciousness and twisted continuously, trying to break free.
But it does not have much combat power, and on top of being suppressed by Diao Tian, it is completely unable to break free.
Gu Xiaoxing sneered, and without saying a word, he directly released the Nine-Layered Divine Sea, completely covering and binding the Immortal Vine, and then he retracted the Sky Fishing Hook.
Although Diaotian's suppression was gone, the suppression from the Nine-Layered Divine Sea was equally severe. The Changsheng Vine was trapped in it, as if it had become a specimen, completely unable to move.
"I'll deal with you later!"
Gu Xiaoxing glared at the Immortal Vine fiercely, raised his hand and took the Nine Seas back into his body. In this way, he used the power of the Nine Seas to completely suppress the Immortal Vine.
This Immortality Vine is a rare treasure in the world of cultivation. As for how to deal with it, we will have to wait and see.
After finishing all this, even Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He had hardly stopped during the fierce battle.
Since Yan Tian's death and his recovery from injuries, he has been fighting fiercely all the way to here.
Except for Zhou Taizu, nine great masters of the Divine Transformation would have been killed by Gu Xiaoxing!
But the most difficult one is undoubtedly Zhou Taizu who is possessed by the Immortality Vine.
If the ghost spirit had not transmitted the message to him in time, he might have been able to escape by the Immortal Vine.
Coming back to his senses at this moment, even with Gu Xiaoxing's current level of cultivation, he felt deeply exhausted.
But finally, it's time to end!
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the fishing rod in his hand and could clearly feel the presence of the ghost spirit in it. It had completely awakened.
In fact, Gu Xiaoxing had a lot of things he wanted to ask him, but in the end he held back, as now was not the right time.
Putting away the fishing rod, Gu Xiaoxing appeared in front of Dongfang Yu and pointed a finger at her forehead.
After a while, Dongfang Yu slowly opened his eyes.
When she saw Gu Xiaoxing, who was intact in front of her, she was stunned, and then reacted instantly.
Everything before was an illusion.
But a line of tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of my eyes.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't need to think about it to roughly know what she had experienced in the illusion.
The reason why those hallucinogenic factors can make people enter a fantasy world without knowing it is that they weave the fantasy world according to the development trajectory of people's subconscious mind, and there is no sense of incongruity.
Dongfang Yu faces Zhou Taizu alone and has to protect the weak Gu Xiaoxing. Is there any need to guess what will happen?
Gently hugging Dongfang Yu, Gu Xiaoxing whispered, "It's over."
At such a close distance, even if Gu Xiaoxing said nothing , Dongfang Yu could know everything in each other's hearts through that concentric line.
But verbal expression has always been Dongfang Yu's favorite.
She also took a deep breath and said slowly: "Fortunately, they are all fake."
After a brief hug, the two looked towards the Xuantian Palace below.
At this moment, Xuantian Palace was in a mess and ruins. Countless buildings collapsed, there was almost no intact place, and no living people.
Outside the Xuantian Palace, the waves were surging. The former Xuanbing Lake had completely melted and turned into a vast ocean.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the red everywhere and the corpses in Xuantian Palace. Although there was no expression on his face, he felt heavy in his heart.
To be honest, Gu Xiaoxing felt compassion for the deaths of these people, but he was not sad.
After seeing the ups and downs of life and death, I have learned to let go.
But there are some people whose life and death we can never feel relieved about.
Gu Xiaoxing kept this heavy feeling in his heart.
So at this moment, he was more grateful!
