Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 575: Changes in the World
The Xuanbing Lake area was transformed into a sea due to the battle between Gu Xiaoxing and Yang Tian. But now, due to Dongfang Yexuan's breakthrough, under the endless cold light, it has turned back into the frozen world it once was.
In Xuantian City, countless people were also amazed as they watched the lake outside the city freeze quickly.
They didn't know that this was Dongfang Yexuan's breakthrough, and they thought it was a big move by Xuantian Saint or Gu Xiaoxing.
Nowadays, Gu Xiaoxing's reputation in Xuantian Realm is no less than that of Dongfang Yexuan. No one dares to have any inappropriate thoughts about Xuantian Palace and the indestructible ancient treasure.
Although the Xuanbing Lake area is large, the rules of the Xuantian Palace still exist, so naturally no one dares to explore the Xuanbing Lake area anymore.
At this moment in Xuantian Palace, the Tongxian formation covered the area, blocking out the endless cold light.
Above Xuantian Palace, under the cover of endless cold light, the temperature has reached an extremely low level. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would be at risk of being frozen here.
But Gu Xiaoxing and Dongfang Yu stood together, surrounded by the cold light, without any hindrance.
Suddenly, the cold light shrank and condensed, and in the center, it turned into a ball of cold light.
Immediately afterwards, as the ball of cold light suddenly vibrated, a foot stepped through the ball of cold light and walked out.
The man who walked out from the cold light was wearing white clothes and had white hair. He was handsome and elegant. He looked like an ethereal immortal, with an extraordinary fairy charm.
What was somewhat inconsistent was the strand of black hair on the long white hair, which made the man's immortal charm seem a little weaker and a little more evil.
What was even more incongruous was that when the man stepped out of the cold light and saw Gu Xiaoxing and Dongfang Yu standing together, he suddenly felt that they were a good match, which immediately made him smack his lips in dissatisfaction, and his immortal charm diminished even more.
This person was naturally Dongfang Yexuan. After breaking through to the God Transformation stage, he was no longer the little fox he used to be, but had returned to his former self and transformed into a human form.
"Father!"
Dongfang Yu called out. She seldom called Dongfang Yexuan "father" and usually called him by his name. It can be seen that she was a little excited at the moment.
Gu Xiaoxing's expression became serious, he bowed deeply and said, "Xiao Xu, I greet my father-in-law!"
Dongfang Yexuan looked at Gu Xiaoxing with his eyes slightly narrowed, thinking about finding a reason to challenge this brat to a sparring match. Even if he couldn't cripple him, he would at least give him a good beating.
It can be said that from the moment he was imprisoned at the bottom of the cage, Dongfang Yexuan had suffered more humiliation than he had ever experienced in his entire life.
Dongfang Yexuan had been a powerful figure in his life, but he was defeated by a bad boy.
If I don't avenge this, how can my thoughts be clear?
But when Dongfang Yexuan's gaze inadvertently glanced towards Xuantian Palace below, his expression suddenly froze, and he instantly realized that something big must have happened in Xuantian Palace while he was in seclusion.
After listening to what Gu Xiaoxing and the other two had to say, he couldn't help but fall silent.
Even he did not expect that Yantian and Yangtian would attack Xuantian Palace, which would then cause chaos in the entire Xuantian Realm.
Although the final result is not good, it is a blessing in disguise.
As for the matter of sparring, I don’t know if Dongfang Yexuan had forgotten about it, but in any case he did not mention it.
Afterwards, regarding the matter of Yang Tian, Dongfang Yexuan made a conclusion for Gu Xiaoxing.
"Yang Tian is a man with the deepest scheming mind that I have ever seen. Since he has chosen to show his hand, he will not do it without a purpose."
Gu Xiaoxing hated Yang Tian so much that he wanted to kill him immediately.
But it must be said that Yang Tian is an opponent that cannot be underestimated!
Since he chose to take action and revealed the secret of controlling two indestructible ancient treasures, he would definitely be targeted by other celestial realm lords.
Even Gu Xiaoxing knows this truth, so how could Yang Tian not know it?
But Yang Tian still chose to take action, and he must have been ready to draw his sword.
And is Yang Tian doing all this to dominate the cage?
Absolutely not!
With Yang Tian's scheming, there is no way he would be content to live in this small cage.
What Yang Tian wants to do is to break the cage!
Inside the cage, every time someone appears trying to break out of it, the entire cage will enter a period of turmoil.
Because this is a matter of all efforts, if you fail, you will die!
Anyone who wants to break out of the cage will turn into a complete madman!
There are only a few people like Gu Jianyi and Cang Chenzi who leave themselves a way out. Most of them just ignore everything!
And what Yang Tian is thinking is very clear. He wants to control more immortal ancient treasures. If possible, he might want to control the nine immortal ancient treasures of Fanlong!
No one has ever done this from ancient times to the present!
If Yang Tian could do it, the cage... might be broken!
However, it is obvious that the other Heavenly Realm Lords would not allow Yang Tian to do this. This is Yang Tian’s biggest obstacle!
Afterwards, Dongfang Yexuan taught Dongfang Yu the method of sensing other Immortal Heavenly Palaces.
But when Dongfang Yu used the Immortal Xuantian to sense carefully, he could not sense the locations of the Immortal Yangtian and the Immortal Yantian.
Dongfang Yexuan was not surprised either, this was Yang Tian’s method.
Next, Yang Tian will lurk in the dark, waiting for his chance to strike, and anyone may become his next target.
Yang Tian, who controls two indestructible ancient treasures, must be stronger than other lords of the heavenly realm!
Especially their Xuantian Realm, although Yang Tian failed this time because of the Houtu True Spirit.
But we have to admit that Xuantian Territory is still the place most likely to become Yang Tian’s target!
This feeling of being in the dark while the enemy is in the light made Gu Xiaoxing completely passive and very uncomfortable.
"Are we just going to wait for Yang Tian to come?" Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but say.
Dongfang Yexuan looked up at Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Dongfang Yexuan meant, and the three words almost came out of his mouth.
"Zhang Diqing!"
Yes, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly realized that Zhang Diqing was well versed in divination and might be able to calculate Yang Tian’s movements!
Dongfang Yexuan glanced at Gu Xiaoxing, smacked his lips, and said, "Not only you thought of it, but others can think of it too. If nothing unexpected happens, someone should be on the way to Bian Tian Domain."
Dongfang Yu heard this and felt it carefully again. She had just taken charge of the Indestructible Xuantian Palace and her cultivation was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation. She was obviously still very unfamiliar with it.
However, under the guidance of Dongfang Yexuan, Dongfang Yu gradually felt the location of other Immortal Heavenly Palaces.
It is just as Dongfang Yexuan said, the blue sky and the red sky are both heading towards a change.
But suddenly, Dongfang Yu opened her eyes abruptly, and one could clearly see a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes, and then she murmured.
"The sense of the changing weather... has also disappeared!"
Change the sky.
Like the Xuantian Realm, this place is a continent floating in the deep space, but it is much smaller and more desolate than the Xuantian Continent.
However, when Cangtian and Zhutian reached the Transformation Realm, they felt not only desolation, but also a sense of ruin.
The entire Biantian Realm was filled with the smell of burning. There were not many people living on this continent, and at this moment it was as if it had been baptized by a fire, with heavy casualties.
"This aura...Yang Tian has been here!" Zhu Tian was dressed in red, with a beautiful face, but his expression was a little gloomy.
Cang Tian's face was equally gloomy, and he said, "We are still a step too late. Yang Tian has gone crazy."
The two looked at the tragic Bian Tian area. It was obvious that a great battle had taken place here not long ago, but they did not find any trace of Yang Tian's departure, nor any trace left by Bian Tian.
Changtian and Yangtian seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.
Therefore, Cangtian and Zhutian had no way of judging whether Yangtian had successfully killed Biantian and obtained the third immortal ancient treasure.
The two men looked solemn; this was the result they least wanted to see.
"At this point, there is no other way. Go back and make your own arrangements."
When Zhu Tianyu waved his hand, he turned into a flaming unicorn and rushed forward rampagingly. He actually broke through a trace of spatial restraints and disappeared in the dark deep space in an instant at a speed faster than light.
Only the sky was left, standing above the nine heavens, quietly watching the changes in the sky. After a moment, it turned into lightning and fled into the distance, also disappearing.
Xuantian Realm, Xuantian Palace.
Gu Xiaoxing said goodbye to everyone and left alone.
Zhang Diqing’s disappearance made Gu Xiaoxing feel more and more urgent.
In fact, he didn't know whether Zhang Diqing had been killed by Yang Tian.
He always felt that his cheap third brother would not die so easily.
"Third brother, I don't think you'll die soon, please don't die!"
Gu Xiaoxing was also praying for Zhang Diqing in his heart, but this was all he could do.
After leaving Xuantian Palace, Gu Xiaoxing came to Zhanxian Gate and visited He Zhiruo.
Because he planned to place the Soul-Devouring Sect in the territory of the Immortal-Slaying Sect.
Moreover, Gu Xiaoxing himself will no longer hold any title in the Soul-Devouring Sect. He will resign from the position of Sect Leader and completely hide behind the scenes.
Only in this way can it be beneficial for the sect to develop independently.
If the Soul Devouring Sect were allowed to take shelter under the mighty reputation of Gu Xiaoxing, perhaps in a short period of time, the Soul Devouring Sect would gain huge benefits and no one would dare to provoke them.
If it were ten years ago, Gu Xiaoxing might really have done this.
But after going through so much, Gu Xiaoxing is no longer the same as before, no longer young, and no longer naive.
If you want to survive in this cruel world of cultivation, evil is necessary, and the experience of blood and fire is also necessary.
Today, Gu Xiaoxing can protect the Soul-Devouring Sect and even make top-notch sects bow to it, allowing the Soul-Devouring Sect to have smooth sailing and move towards glory.
But such a sect will sooner or later run into big problems.
If something unexpected happens to Gu Xiaoxing, or even dies, the entire Soul-Devouring Sect will be destroyed in an instant!
Especially during this critical period of cage turmoil!
Therefore, the best way is to prevent the Soul-Devouring Sect from being involved with the name of Gu Xiaoxing, and allow it to develop on its own step by step in the Xuantian Domain.
If a small sect wants to develop freely in the Xuantian Domain, it must use the tiger's skin to gain influence. Otherwise, it will be difficult for it to survive in the Xuantian Continent and will be targeted to death by other small sects with backgrounds.
So, Gu Xiaoxing went to the Zhanxian Sect.
As long as the Soul-Devouring Sect can get hold of the tiger skin of the Immortal-Slaying Sect, it will be enough for them to survive in the Xuantian Continent.
Apart from He Zhiruo, Gu Xiaoxing only told the leader and ancestor of Zhanxian Sect about this matter, and they naturally would not refuse.
