Chapter 680: I am going to find him, Crisis of the group of the Qinghong Ancient World
The island was filled with Immortal energy and divine light. Every corner was filled with haze and mist, like an immortal world with auspicious beasts singing together, phoenix birds flying, green pines, ancient trees, and strange rocks.
One side was like an ancient well-like Spiritual Pond, clear and crystal clear, surrounded by mist, and there was a strange and inexplicable rhythm and laws of Dao intertwined.
“Is this the future…” Gu Xian’er murmured, her small face turned pale because she felt that it was too unbelievable. She froze there for a moment as if struck by lightning.
The somewhat bald big red bird squinted at her, seeming to be disdainful of her reaction, “Girl, what did you see in it, why do you look like you have seen a ghost…”
The childish voice that came out of its mouth seemed highly immature, and then it swayed and walked toward the spiritual pond.
What Gu Xian’er saw in it was not very clear and even the bird couldn’t see it. The origin of the Lake of Reincarnation was extremely mysterious. There was a rumor that it was cast by a supreme powerhouse who was proficient in the principles of time and reincarnation in a very ancient period.
The origin of the big red bird was not simple, it knew many secrets, and had some understanding of many mysterious places in the Upper Realm. That was why it brought Gu Xian’er here to try her luck, to see if she could find something good.
As a result, the big red bird and Gu Xian’er were trapped on the island because they mistakenly touched the test formation left by the former master. If it weren’t for Gu Xian’er’s talent and strength, she might not be able to break through these restrictions and patterns in a short time.
As for the Spiritual Pond, the Big Red Bird recognized it after looking at it for a long time. In the beginning, the bird didn’t believe it. How could there be such a thing as the Lake of Reincarnation in such a place?
One must know that even if it was an existence that had already turned into an Immortal. In front of the Lake of Reincarnation, there was no secret at all, and the past life, and future would be revealed.
Today’s Gu Xian’er’s cultivation was in the Sacred Realm, so naturally, she could not escape the mysterious power of the Lake of Reincarnation, and could not hide anything.
“Why is this… Why is the future like this…”
However, at this moment, Gu Xian’er seemed to have not recovered from the state just now, and had been muttering, it was hard to imagine the scene she saw.
“What the h.e.l.l did you see, girl?” The big red bird leaned over and asked very puzzled.
Gu Xian’er’s face turned pale, and her expression seemed to be in pain. She shook her head, grabbed the big red bird’s wings suddenly, and said, “Tell me quickly, the scenes I have seen are all fake and not real.”
Big Red Bird said with a headache, “What on earth did you see, and why did you react so strongly? This is indeed the Lake of Reincarnation, which can reflect the future. Although you don’t believe it, it is indeed true.”
Hearing what Da Hong said, Gu Xian’er seemed to be discouraged all of a sudden, and slowly squatted down. Tears began to flow from her face, which was as beautiful as an immortal, and her appearance was distressing.
“It’s not true… Gu Changge… how could he become like that… He wouldn’t do that,” She murmured, but her words trembled uncontrollably as if she was in extreme pain, and there was some crying in her voice.
“The future you see is related to that Gu Changge?” Hearing these words, Big Red Bird seemed to widen his eyes in shock.
It had seen a lot, and its origin was even more mysterious, but it had never seen anyone who was as unpredictable and unfathomable as Gu Changge. Someone that could not even be deduced and speculated. Therefore, it actually wanted to keep Gu Xian’er away from Gu Changge, thinking that Gu Changge’s motives were impure and his plots were evil. But Gu Xian’er didn’t care about it at all, but cared about Gu Changge very much, and took it to heart.
“You… What the h.e.l.l did you see in the Lake of Reincarnation?” The big red bird looked more serious and asked again.
Gu Xian’er shook her head and didn’t say much. She squatted on the ground for a while before she seemed to recover, but her eyes were still red.
“I’m going to find him.” She raised her beautiful little face and looked into the distance, before saying. On the porcelain-like skin, there was a glistening l.u.s.ter due to the wet tears.
…
Gu Changge didn’t know that in a distant place, Gu Xian’er was greatly affected by a glimpse of the future, and was planning to meet him. Now, he was following Qing’er to the arena in the depths of the main city of Vermillion Bird Region, the Battlefield of Hundred Realms.
The sky dimmed, and the entire ancient city looked extremely majestic and ancient. Among the pavilions and halls, the lights were brilliant, and there was a brilliant glow in the air. Between the inns and restaurants on both sides, lanterns were hung up, and the flames were burning, reflecting a warm l.u.s.ter.
In addition to the cultivators living here, there were most of the patrol guards in charge of patrolling and maintaining the rules here. They were riding fearsome beasts and running rampant, making all pedestrians retreat.
“In the arena, apart from those a.s.sa.s.sins who have acc.u.mulated points, there are also many criminals sent in by various forces, who come here to atone for their crimes.”
On the way, Qing’er, who put on a little make-up, had a slender figure as she seemed more delicate and charming while leading the way for Gu Changge and explaining to him.
Around the arena, there were actually many dungeons. Many ancient aristocratic families, supreme sects, ancient royal families, and even criminals of Immortal forces were imprisoned in it.
For some reason, they had to come here to get the corresponding points and exchange them for something before they could be pardoned and leave. Of course, there were also sayings that these people were dead fighters behind their respective forces, so they were specially trained in the arena.
“Here, these criminals fight each other for the rest of the cultivators to watch or gamble, or they are favored by guests, who buy and plant slave marks to serve them as slaves and handmaids for the rest of their lives.” Seeing Gu Changge nod, Qing’er smiled and continued to explain.
They walked along the main road in the city. Although it was night, the surroundings were brightly lit and extremely bright. Many patrol guards recognized Qing’er’s ident.i.ty, so they were extremely shocked. They didn’t expect that she would even accompany another young man in person.
Although Gu Changge never used secret methods to cover up his true face, in his current state, no one could see his face clearly unless he wanted them to. Everyone couldn’t see Gu Changge’s appearance clearly, but through Qing’er’s att.i.tude, they could vaguely guess his ident.i.ty, and their expression was even more solemn, not daring to show any disrespect.
Gu Changge seemed to be very casual about this, he actually didn’t want to be too high-profile, otherwise, the place would be blocked, and it was easy to scare the snake. But now that he had appeared on the Battlefield of Hundred Realms, the forces behind him might have been staring at him.
The arena was located in the deepest part of the main city. In fact, it was a small island where a formation master spent tens of thousands of years of energy to almost lock the aura of the earth and the laws of the world. However, one needed to pa.s.s through an endless lake on the way, and there were many risks.
It was said that the various forces behind the arena spent a huge price to build it, and several extremely powerful formations were engraved in it. There were also many kinds of ferocious beasts in the lake, even if a cultivator in the Sacred Realm broke in, he would be severely injured.
The night was getting darker, and many figures rushed from all over. Here, there were bursts of divine lights soaring into the sky, the formations lit up, flashing murderous intent, and a layer of mist formed on the lake, sparkling like broken silver fragments.
Jade and phoenix boats pa.s.sed by at a fast speed, heading for the small island in the center of the lake, and many cultivators were on their way. But if they didn’t have a certain level of cultivation for crossing this green lake, they were likely to be torn apart by the strange beasts under the water.
Huge black shadows were swimming at the bottom of the water, waiting for an opportunity to choose someone to devour, so they were very cautious. If one accidentally fell into the water, no one would be able to save them.
Among these cultivators, in fact, many of them came from the Lower Realms to gain insight, wanting to know how cruel the fighting on the Battlefield of Hundred Realms was.
A group of people from the Qinghong Ancient World were here, including Lu Ming and Xue Yan from Heavenly Light Sect, and young seeds from other forces, all of them were very dignified and extremely cautious. They all chose to join Vermillion Bird Region, not wanting to fight with the ancient world, which was hostile before.
Compared with other regions, the environment of the Vermillion Bird Region was indeed much more peaceful. It was said that it was because the Master behind the Vermillion Bird Region was a woman, and compared to other masters, her methods were extremely gentle.
“After you follow me and enter the arena, just watch quietly and remember not to get into conflict with anyone. No matter what happens at that time, you have to be patient, otherwise, there will be a life-and-death conflict, and I won’t be able to protect you.”
Lu Ming, Xue Yan, and other young geniuses from the Qinghong Ancient World were now following behind a man in a Confucian shirt, with him as the leader. The man in the Confucian shirt had a very dignified expression. On the way here, he kept warning everyone, worrying that they would cause trouble here.
He told several people, again and again, being extremely cautious. Although his ancestors were related to the Qinghong Ancient World, he had received many benefits from everyone and wanted to help them here. But on the huge ancient battlefield, he was just an insignificant person, and he didn’t dare to offend other people at all.
The only thing he could do was to be a guide. His palms were covered with cold sweat, and he felt that among the few geniuses behind him, there were quite a few thorns, which could easily cause trouble. What disturbed him the most was that some of the girls were extremely beautiful.
On this hundred-world battlefield known for chaos and killing, it was easy to attract the coveted eyes of other powerful people. Resources, skills, women, territory… These things had always been the must-haves on the battlefield of the Hundred Realms.
As for the elders behind these geniuses, he couldn’t even count on them and their level of cultivation was not enough.
“Is this the arena? From the outside, it looks more splendid than those romantic places… Today I really improved my knowledge.”
Lu Ming, Xue Yan, and the others boarded a jade boat, crossed the center of the lake, and reached the opposite side all the way.
When they saw the scene in front of them, almost everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. They couldn’t believe it as they held their breath, wondering if they had found the wrong place.
In front of them, there were palaces and pavilions, standing in the void! The aura of formation patterns circulated around, as if shrouded in clouds and mist. There were many cultivators entering and exiting, forming an endless stream. From the outside, it was almost difficult to combine this place with the arena and death row criminals, like a heavenly palace.
“Don’t make a fuss, the laws of s.p.a.ce here are extremely magical, and there is a universe inside, you will know it after seeing it.”
The man in the Confucian shirt shook his head, ignoring the b.u.mpkin-like expressions of the crowd, explained, and then planned to take the crowd in.
From the outside, it was actually impossible to see that this arena was special.
Boom!
Just at this time, while everyone was talking, in the east direction, a burst of soaring aura arrived as a group of young disciples with tall heads and two wings on their backs, whose appearance was very different from that of a human race, appeared from the jade boat and stepped onto the island.
Each of them had an expression of arrogance and faint disdain, they ignored the cultivators around them, and walked into the palace without restraint.
“They are members of the ancient royal family in Vermillion Bird Region. Let’s avoid them, so as not to collide with them, otherwise, we will only regret it later.”
Seeing this, many cultivators were very apprehensive and retreated quietly. They didn’t expect this group of people to show up here. There were many powerful forces in the Vermillion Bird Region, one of them was the ancient royal family, not a certain family, but many families.
Sometimes, even the disciples of the great sects who came here to cultivate were quite afraid and did not want to conflict with this group of people.
“Hurry up and get out of the way, don’t block their way, or they won’t reason with you later.” Seeing that a group of geniuses from the Qinghong Ancient World were still standing in place, it seemed that they were looking at this group of disciples of the ancient royal family. The man in the Confucian shirt suddenly shouted. His complexion turned pale as he hastily warned them to make way.
“Give Way?” All the geniuses of the Qinghong Ancient World also reacted quickly and hurriedly moved aside.
The reason why they were curious was that it was the first time they saw the existence of such an ancient royal family with such amazing vitality at such an age.
In their world, there was only a single ancient royal family whose bloodline was countless times thinner. In fact, they were independent of the royal family, and their strength was extremely terrifying. The bloodline of anyone in the group of disciples of the ancient royal family in front of them was so strong that they couldn’t even imagine it.
However, although their move to get out of the way was very timely, in the eyes of the group of ancient royal disciples behind them, it was still extremely annoying and much slower.
“Where did these worms come from? Don’t they have eyes? They dare to block our way?” One of them was an extremely burly young being shaped like a golden rhinoceros, his eyes turned cold, and he said with a flash of killing intent, looking extremely cold.
In their view, this group of geniuses from the Lower Realms in front of them were just bugs, even worse than ants. How dare they stand in the middle of the road and prevent them from entering the arena, this was simply courting death!
“He’s going to attack us.” The faces of Lu Ming, Xue Yan, and others changed, and they felt the terrifying murderous intent enveloping them.
The man in the Confucian shirt turned pale and couldn’t help trembling, “It’s not good, it’s not good, it’s a big disaster…”
The burly man among the group of the ancient royal family snorted coldly. He was a member of the ancient elephant family, and his strength was extremely terrifying.
In the next moment, with a sweep of the proboscis, it seemed as if a mountain was spinning away, containing shocking power.
A Qinghong Ancient World genius who had no time to retreat in front of him didn’t even have time to scream, and immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a bang. All the cultivators around also changed their faces drastically, and hurriedly avoided it for fear of being implicated.
The eyes they looked at this group of heavenly geniuses from the Lower Realms were full of pity and sympathy. They couldn’t blame others for this, they can only say that they were too unlucky to offend this group of ancient royal disciples.
At this time, no one could protect them.
