The sea breeze with a fishy and salty smell blew on Gu Qing's face.
He squinted his eyes and glanced at the setting sun in the distance, and a rare trance seemed to flash across his half-dark face.
It was just a moment.
This rare display of trance was put away by Gu Qing.
He quickly walked down the teleportation array and quickly glanced around.
The long-distance teleportation array he was riding this time from the territory of Dali Kingdom to Crocodile Dragon Island in the eastern sea of the vast sea was located on a huge platform.
On one side of this long-distance teleportation array, guarded was a female cultivator whose cultivation aura was at the third level of foundation building.
Regarding the fact that he was teleported here, this female cultivator at the third level of Foundation Establishment did not even raise her eyelids - she should only protect this one-way formation from being destroyed, and not care about anything else.
This huge platform has a radius of three to four thousand feet.
Not only that, this long-distance teleportation array is built on this platform.
In addition to this long-distance teleportation array, there are hundreds of teleportation arrays of various sizes built here. The noisy voices come from the low-level monks riding in these teleportation arrays, and even those without spiritual cultivation. It spreads from the mouths of mortals.
Gu Qing's eyelids twitched as he watched the caravan consisting of a few exotic beasts and three or five mortal men and early-stage Qi refining monks emerge from a crude teleportation array on the edge of the platform.
"Where's the goods? Over there on Nanyun Island?" A monk at the fifth level of Qi Refining stepped forward and asked the early stage Qi Refining monk who was leading the caravan.
"Naturally, it's the goods from Nanyun Island, a batch of high-quality Tianxing Iron, a batch of elixirs and talismans entrusted by a senior casual cultivator from Nanyun Island... It's not cost-effective to use the teleportation array on other islands. Fellow Taoist knows what he's selling at first glance, what, take a look?" The monk in the early stage of Qi refining, a capable young man, responded with a smile when he heard this.
Gu Qing's eyes flickered slightly and he no longer paid attention to the caravan.
He walked quickly across the platform and looked at the wooden signs erected in front of the teleportation formations.
Most of the teleportation arrays on this platform can only be teleported to Crocodile Dragon Island from other places, but there are also a small number of teleportation arrays that are teleported from Crocodile Dragon Island to other places.
Gu Qing recalled the record of the sea chart that the old man had given him.
After getting the chart, he confirmed the specific location of the Wulong Sea where Crocodile Dragon Island is located and the Yuhan Sea, and quickly planned a route from the Wulong Sea to Linyu Sea.
'The Crocodile Dragon Island is located in the Wulong Sea Area. If you want to go to the Linyu Sea Area, it will be faster to take the teleportation array all the way there..."
A few breaths later, Gu Qing's figure stopped in front of a teleportation array that was teleported from Crocodile Dragon Island in the Five Dragons Sea to Sanchen Island in the Chaos Star Sea, and headed straight towards the teleportation array.
Indeed, it is not difficult to use the Five Elements Escape Technique to fly across fifteen million miles of sea.
But there is a more trouble-free and faster way, so why bother using escape skills to get on the road?
What's more, if you use the Five Elements Escape Technique to rush on the road, you may encounter unknown dangers on the road.
As Gu Qing approached the teleportation array, the hook-nosed male cultivator guarding the teleportation array opened his eyes slightly.
His expression was cold and his tone was harsh and harsh: "Sanchen Island is 5.6 million miles away from here. Teleport once. Bring your own movement order and 300 medium-grade spiritual stones. Those without a movement order cannot teleport."
'No one can be transferred without a moving order? "
Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly after hearing this.
But he was sensible and did not ask anything. He just nodded, waved his sleeves, took out thirty high-grade spiritual stones from the storage ring, and piled them in front of the aquiline-nosed man.
The cold expression of the male cultivator with aquiline nose changed slightly.
The monks nearby also cast their glances.
"Huh? This senior is so generous..."
"It turned out to be a higher-grade spiritual stone. After paying the teleportation fee, Old Liu has made a fortune..." Not far from the hook-nosed male cultivator, the male cultivator guarding another teleportation array smacked his mouth a few times.
This male cultivator with an aquiline nose, who was at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, also realized at this time that there was something in front of him.
This yellow-robed monk should be a senior.
He hurriedly stood up from his seat, cupped his fists and saluted Gu Qing: "Senior, if it is a high-grade spiritual stone, it only costs twenty-five yuan."
When the hook-nosed male cultivator said this, the surrounding discussions suddenly fell silent.
Obviously, the monks nearby were shocked by his move to push out the spiritual stone that was within easy reach.
Gu Qing didn't have any mood swings.
He nodded lightly, took out five high-grade spiritual stones, took back his storage ring, and walked towards the teleportation array heading to Sanchen Island.
The hook-nosed male cultivator didn't talk nonsense. He put away the twenty-five high-grade spiritual stones piled on one side and turned over his hand to take out a token.
He made a few finger gestures at the token, and then shined the token at the teleportation array below Gu Qing. A gray light emerged from the token and landed on the teleportation array beneath Gu Qing.
Buzz!
The formation patterns on the base of the formation lit up every inch like water flowing back into a canal.
Not long after, the entire teleportation array burst into intense light.
In the palm of Gu Qing's sleeve robe, the great movement is still grasped.
He felt the power of the Great Movement covering his whole body. He glanced at the hook-nosed male cultivator again, smiled slightly, and threw out a spiritual light with his hand.
"This bottle of elixir is given to this fellow Taoist." Gu Qing took out the bottle of purple jade elixir given by Qi Qian and threw it to the hook-nosed male cultivator.
This Ziyun Shengling Pill is only an upper-level second-grade pill. For Gu Qing, taking it is basically useless.
As for Lin Tingxue...Xiushu.com
Gu Qing was not at ease and gave the pills given by Qi Gan, who did not know his good intentions or ill intentions, to Lin Tingxue to take.
After throwing out the bottle of Purple Jade Spirit-rising Pill, Gu Qing's figure disappeared like water waves under the brighter light of the teleportation array.
The hook-nosed male cultivator saw a spiritual light coming before his eyes, stretched out his hand and held it in his hand.
His eyes were slightly strange.
For this senior monk who gave him a bottle of elixir without even saying a few words, he was really a little surprised in his heart, but considering that his family was in decline and his cultivation was low, he had nothing to be criticized by others. The suspicion that had just arisen was mostly dissipated.
"Old Liu, you are very lucky... Let me, brother, take a look at what kind of elixir this senior has given me..."
A voice sounded in the ears of the male cultivator with a hooked nose.
The hook-nosed male cultivator frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brows.
He turned his head sideways and glanced at the male cultivator guarding the teleportation array on one side - this male cultivator had a fat belly, a round head, and a simple and honest appearance. His cultivation level was at the same level as him in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
the difference is.
The family this person came from has not declined.
Therefore, even though he is over seventy years old, he still has some possibility of establishing a foundation. As for himself...
The hook-nosed male cultivator laughed at himself.
It is absolutely impossible for him to build a foundation.
Even now, a god really descended from heaven and gave him a Foundation-Building Pill. He also successfully entered a cave with abundant spiritual energy to retreat. When his condition reached its peak, he took this Foundation-Building Pill. If the impact on the foundation is successful, the chance of building a Dao foundation will not exceed 30%.
But can he really get the Foundation Establishment Pill?
He is now more than sixty years old, and his body is old and weak. In addition, he has hidden injuries caused by his previous failure to attack the foundation...
'well……"
The hook-nosed man sighed silently.
He looked at the pot-bellied male cultivator on one side, forced a smile on his face, nodded, and said, "Brother Ou, it's just a bottle..."
The words stopped abruptly.
The hook-nosed man who had just put his consciousness into the elixir bottle seemed to be pinched by the neck and was speechless.
'What kind of elixir is this...Why...it seems to be better than the Foundation Establishment Pill I took before..."
One day passed.
Linyu Sea Area, Datan Island.
In the central area, there is a slightly dilapidated hall in the deepest part.
A teleportation array that had been idle for a long time, the dusty base of the array suddenly shook, and immediately dust flew into the air, and dim array patterns lit up, outlining mysterious patterns.
This mysterious pattern quickly covered all the formation bases, causing the teleportation formation that had been idle for a long time to shine brightly.
The bright light lasted only for a moment.
A group of more than a dozen figures appeared in the originally empty inner circle of the teleportation array.
These dozen or so figures all glanced around cautiously before stepping out of the teleportation array.
"It's really strange that there is no one guarding this teleportation array. If the teleportation array here was destroyed while we were waiting for the teleportation, I don't know..." A beautiful female cultivator in a purple skirt spoke with a smile.
Among the dozen or so figures in this row, the one who was standing at the front was a young man with a jade tree facing the wind and a face like a crown of jade. He smiled slightly and said, "This fairy doesn't know something. You must know that teleportation only takes a moment. If it is here, If the teleportation array is destroyed, we will not be able to teleport over at all, but will stay on the Xuanji Island in the Black Wind Sea."
"What's more, most of the demons in the vast sea have been suppressed by the venerable descendants of the Shangzong. The Linyu sea area is very peaceful. How can there be boring monks who destroy the teleportation array at will..." The young man said with a look in his eyes. Jingguang looked up with great reverence.
"I see... Fellow Daoist Sun, I have something to discuss here, young lady. Can we discuss it in more detail?" The female cultivator in the purple skirt changed her expression and smiled charmingly at the young man with a beautiful tree facing the wind.
"When a beauty invites you, is there any reason not to accept the invitation?" The young man surnamed Sun showed a bit of joy on his face. He nodded with the other monks, then swayed and left together with the female cultivator in purple skirt.
Most of the other monks were gone in an instant.
There was only one figure left, wearing a dark yellow robe and a black bamboo hat that covered his face, and he still hadn't left.
"Datan Island... seems like a world away." Gu Qing looked at the slightly blurry main hall through the black gauze, and walked towards the outside of the main hall with his hands behind his hands.
After riding the teleportation array day and night, Gu Qing finally crossed fifteen million miles of sea and returned to the Linyu Sea area adjacent to the mainland.
The group of monks just now were the monks he met on an island called Xuanji in the Black Wind Sea, more than three million miles away from Linyu Sea, and they were also coming to Linyu Sea. Among them, the one with the lowest cultivation level was also Zhu. The second level of Ji, the one with the highest level of cultivation, Gu Qing couldn't even tell the depth of it.
It is worth mentioning that.
On Xuanji Island in the Black Wind Sea Area, all the teleportation arrays built by the major forces heading to the Linyu Sea Area have been closed.
The teleportation formation he was riding in this time was secretly arranged by the male cultivator named Sun from Yushu Linfeng.
Compared with the teleportation arrays built by major forces, the cost of riding in this kind of privately arranged teleportation array is naturally more than a little higher.
But now, not only the Xuanji Island in the Black Wind Sea Area, the teleportation array to the Linyu Sea Area is closed, the teleportation arrays from other islands to the Linyu Sea Area are also closed. Not only that, even the monks who fly to the Linyu Sea Area will be blocked. All major forces intercepted.
Therefore, Gu Qing still spent a full three thousand middle-grade spiritual stones to ride on this teleportation array and rush back to Linyu Sea Area.
Regarding the blockade of Linyu Sea Area, although no news has leaked out, and it is difficult to find out anything in a short period of time, Gu Qing already has a relatively firm guess in his mind.
The reason behind this is nothing more than the so-called "Dharma Lineage Struggle" that broke out in the Linyu Sea after the death of Venerable Zuo Linyu.
Arriving in front of the main hall, Gu Qing remembered what the male cultivator surnamed Sun had said before, about the demons being re-suppressed by the descendants of the Shang Sect.
His eyes flashed.
'When I left the Linyu Sea Territory, the invasion of the demons was in full swing... Later, when I entered Dali, even the northwest of the mainland was occupied by the demons. I never thought that I would only stay in Dali for a few years. The raging demon clan has been suppressed again...it's really...time has changed..."
An indescribable feeling of shock still lingered in Gu Qing's heart.
Gu Qing had already heard about the fact that the demons were suppressed by the Lord who descended from the Shangzong and returned to the underwater cave.
But even though more than ten or twenty hours had passed since he first heard about this matter, Gu Qing was still shocked.
'When Da Li left by teleportation array before, I was worried that the sea area on the east side of the vast sea was in chaos due to the demon clan affairs, and it would be impossible to ride on the teleportation array..." Gu Qing shook his head in a funny way.
After leaving the main hall, the dazzling light fell sideways on Gu Qing's face.
He felt something in his heart, and after some sensing, he realized that the aura of heaven and earth around him was far worse than the last time he came to the Great Tan Island.
At this moment, he even began to suspect that this was not a Datan Island at all.
'Is it the transformation of the demon clan that caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to decline in Linyu Sea Area? "Gu Qing climbed up the invisible stairs and came to the top of the main hall, overlooking the ruins where the main hall was located..Ь.
This piece of ruins stretches for hundreds of miles. There are countless broken rubbles, which are covered with moss. Pieces of turbid cesspools are very irregularly distributed in this ruins. Occasionally, fractures can be seen hidden under these rubbles. of cloth, gauze, and... rotten bone stubble.
Among the lifeless ruins, there are many strange-shaped vegetations, and groups of black crows hide under the shade of strange trees.
"I have never seen this ruins before when I came to Datan Island..." Gu Qing frowned and flew higher.
After taking a few glances at the terrain, his pupils narrowed.
'This is where the Five Elements Sect was before! "
'The Five Elements Sect was turned into ruins..."
This immortal sect called the Five Elements Sect may really have some special fate with him who practices the Five Elements Condensation Magic.
So, facing the ruins transformed by the Five Elements Sect, he felt an inexplicable touch in his heart.
'Perhaps nothing in this world is eternal. "Gu Qing hovered and danced over the ruins transformed by the Five Elements Sect. Looking at the ruins below, he imagined in his mind the prosperous scene that might have occurred when another Five Elements Sect existed.
The two scenes seemed to overlap, but it didn't make Gu Qing feel awkward at all.
'The sect that has been passed down for thousands of years is nothing more than a ruin. All the glory, all the past, all the sacrifice of one's head and blood, all the persistence and no regrets are nothing. Return to the moss-covered rubble... Time, the reverse journey of all things, the world is just an impermanent dream. "
'Life is impermanent, death is impermanent..."
'If you don't want to fall into impermanence, you should achieve great freedom! "
'Therefore, there are immortals in the world who leave the world and desire, practice hard without slacking off, break free from the cage, and walk against heaven, just to wake up in anger from this dream of impermanence... But since people are born in this cage, How to break free of it easily? "Gu Qing wandered around the ruins of the Five Elements Sect for several times.
Scattered low-level Qi-refining monks were walking through the ruins of the Five Elements Sect, digging for some usable spiritual materials.
Gu Qing's figure paused in the air for a moment, looking ahead, he saw a barren tomb carved out of a hill on the east side of the Five Elements Sect.
The names of disciples and elders of the Five Elements Sect are crookedly engraved on these abandoned simple wooden tombstones.
'How can I be sure that the present day of the Five Elements Sect's body-death cultivators will not be my tomorrow? The road to immortality is rugged, and cultivation is not easy. What is even more difficult is that this road is still in the dream of impermanence. At the end of the journey, how many people can get rid of the false and retain the true, and wake up from the dream? "
As Gu Qingru was thinking, an infinitely distant winding path seemed to appear in front of his eyes. There were strange things all around the path.
At this time, his heart moved and he noticed something.
His gaze shifted and fell on the figure of a ragged old man in front of the barren grave in front of him.
He had already seen this rickety old man just now.
It dragged a cart and trudged over the ruins from a distance. The cart pulled several large and small pieces.
Different wooden boards.
However, when passing by a second-level Qi Refining monk who was rummaging through the ruins, the cart ran over a sewage pit, stirring up some sewage and splashing on the clothes of the second-level Qi Refining monk.
At this moment, the old man was being beaten and kicked by the monk on the second level of Qi Refining, who had entangled several of his companions and pinned him down in the sewage pit.
"This old guy, the bones in his body are so hard that it hurts my fists..." The monk on the second level of Qi Refining, who looked like a middle-aged man with gray hair, cursed while beating him.
"Hey, Brother Qian, this old guy is a disciple of the Five Elements Sect on the Great Tan Island. I heard he is still an inner disciple!" The woman with some buck teeth on the side, her face full of spots, showed a bit of flattery. Like a smile.
This woman is just a mortal and has no cultivation.
"Oh? How did you hear about this, you prodigal?" The monk on the second level of Qi Refining became interested when he heard this.
thump!
With that said, the cultivator raised his foot, stepped on the old man's head, and stepped on the old man's head into the cesspool.
The old man struggled hard, moaning repeatedly, and fluttering with his hands and feet, but he was unable to shake the second-level Qi Refining monk in the slightest. He could only make a few more turbid water splashes emerge from the turbid cesspool.
The other people who were beating the old man stopped punching and kicking the old man as the leading second-level Qi Refining monk stopped. Instead, they moved closer to the woman and listened with interest.
"Where else could I have heard of it? I was with me last time. After the guy named Zhao drank too much, he bragged with me on the bed..." The woman was not ashamed and smiled wildly and said, "Then Zhao, tell me When he was a disciple of the Demon Sect stationed on Datan Island, he had seen this abandoned disciple of the Five Elements Sect more than once..."
"This abandoned disciple of the Five Elements Sect seems to be surnamed Yu. He was often caught by the female monsters of the demon clan and forced to do that... In the two years before the demon clan occupied Datan Island, this thing named Yu , all used up by those female monsters..." The woman glanced at the old man's crotch.
The woman spoke very vividly and vividly.
"Damn, are your prodigal hoofs going to go wild again?" The male cultivator on the second level of Qi Refining rubbed his crotch, grabbed the woman in his arms, lifted his hands up and down, and looked at the puddle gradually falling into the water. The old man stopped struggling, "Your surname is Yu? Let me think about it...could it be called Yu Zhengyang?"
"The old man in my family has been to Changming Island near the mainland before, and he seems to have met a Five Elements Sect monk named Yu Zhengyang..." The male cultivator on the second level of Qi Refining rubbed his delicate body in his arms for a while. He raised his eyebrows and put down the big foot that was stepping on the old man's head.
He grabbed the old man by the collar, and with a stabbing sound, he tore the old man's already tattered clothes into pieces.
The old man crashed into the sewage pit again with a splash, causing the sewage to fly everywhere and hit the second-level Qi Refining male cultivator's head and face.
"***...I will help you to be liberated now!" The male cultivator on the second level of Qi Refining suddenly became angry. A thin spiritual light appeared on his body, gathered in his hand, and slammed it at the old man.
Teng!
A ball of spiritual light quickly ignited and turned into a blazing head-sized fireball in mid-air, causing several people around the second-level Qi Refining male cultivator, including the woman, to scream in surprise. The person felt a burst of hot air and could not help but be pushed back.
Teng!
The fireball evaporated less than half of the sewage in the sewage pit below in an instant, creating a huge cloud of steam.
The remaining sewage also surged up like a boil.
Seeing this scorching head-sized fireball, it was about to hit the old man's body, seeming to evaporate the old man together with the sewage in the sewage pit, but a golden bright light suddenly burst out from the old man's body. !
puff!
The fireball landed on this golden light, and every ripple was stirred up before being extinguished.
Then the golden light covering the old man's body actually separated from the old man's body and turned into a streak of light, like a golden sword light slashed through the air, sweeping across the second-level Qi Refining male cultivator and his companions.
The male cultivator on the second level of Qi Refining and his companions all had no time to react in the future, and their bodies had already transformed into two bodies.
cut!
The organs, mixed with the intestines, clattered to the ground, and large pools of blood spread in the cesspool, mixed with horrifying screams.
This chaotic scream lasted for two or three breaths before completely disappearing.
The last one to die was naturally the male cultivator on the second level of Qi Refining.
As the vitality disappeared, his hand that was stuffing the elixir into his mouth indiscriminately slipped down weakly, and together with the elixir bottle he was holding tightly in his hand, they smashed into the sewage pit with a splash, splashing blood-red sewage. His dead-eyed face was stained red.
A pair of dark-colored boots suddenly appeared in mid-air. Looking up from the boots, he saw a dark yellow robe. xь.
Gu Qing's face, covered by a bamboo hat, was calm and unruffled.
