Ai Ling hesitated to speak.
Qingyangzi shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Now that things have happened, I really asked a stupid question. If there was really a way, you wouldn't sit back and watch many disciples on Yanlai Peak suffer like this."
"Senior brother, is Gu Chen..."
"He'll get over it."
After Qingyangzi finished speaking, he suddenly left.
"division……"
Ai Ling watched Qing Yangzi's figure move away in an instant and disappeared from her sight, unable to catch up.
Her expression was full of worry, and she raised her hand but then put it down. She wanted to tell Qingyangzi about Jiang Li, but she had no chance.
Obviously, Gu Chen's situation is not optimistic.
Looking down at the peaks, there are tragic scenes everywhere. After all, when I realized the stone, I had full confidence in myself, and there were very few people who did not take the Awakening Pill.
Among the disciples accepted by the Qingyang Sect every year, there are many who take the Awakening Pill, but there are only a few who can survive the backlash of the Awakening Pill.
Although it is rare, it is not impossible.
With the aptitude shown by Gu Chen, it shouldn't be difficult to survive the backlash of the Awakening Pill, but Qingyangzi is worried about it now.
Ai Ling really wanted to go to Donglai Peak to see what kind of situation Gu Chen was in that made Qingyangzi look so helpless?
But she finally shook her head and turned back to Yanlai Peak.
Just as she said to Xu Mushan, no matter what the reason, they cannot leave at this time. No matter how deeply concerned they are, they should stay here, even if they are powerless to do so.
Qingyangzi returned to Donglai Peak.
His face was gloomy.
I just went to the main peak and saw that there are many people suffering from the backlash of the Awakening Pill. The pain that is worse than death appears in everyone.
The backlash of the Awakening Pill is manifested as the collapse of the mental level. After taking the Awakening Pill, all the spiritual potential will be unleashed, making the spirit continuously full. However, it is actually an overdraft of the potential, resulting in external strength and internal dryness. Until the medicine is exhausted, the spirit is released. It dissipates all of a sudden, but it is already empty inside, so all the spiritual energy counterattacks, forming a backlash.
In the face of this kind of backlash, everyone can only endure it by force, and no one can help. There is no exception.
When suffering from this kind of backlash, the most painful thing is the dryness of the spiritual level. Although the mind is confused and exhausted, there is no way for people to faint. They can only be forced to endure the pain in a awake state, and slowly slow down in the pain. Get over it slowly.
But even those who are cultivators of immortality, if their cultivation is still weak and their mental state is not strong, will easily become insane, crazy or stupid when faced with this kind of mental counterattack, and it will be difficult to recover.
And this is still light.
Over the years, I have lost count of how many people, under that mental counterattack, their spiritual level completely collapsed, their eyes lost sight, and they no longer had the slightest sense of consciousness.
Although people are alive, they are like puppets, no different from dead people.
Qingyangzi knew that Gu Chen's state of mind was very high, so he was not worried at the beginning. For others, the backlash of the Awakening Pill was very dangerous, but Qingyangzi believed that Gu Chen could survive it.
But when the backlash of Gu Chen's Awakening Pill really came, he discovered that although Gu Chen's state of mind was high, the backlash he received from the Awakening Pill was harder and more terrifying than anyone else's.
Although the backlash from the Awakening Pill to new disciples on other mountain peaks is also very strong, and there are also big or small differences between different people, the differences actually fluctuate within a similar range. Basically However, Gu Chen's counterattack power is undoubtedly much stronger than those of those people.
"Is there really something wrong with that Awakening Pill?"
Feeling slightly confused, Qingyangzi had various speculations in her mind, and she suddenly felt suspicious.
No one knew that Qingyangzi was back, even the four people on Donglai Peak were completely unaware. In the cave, Liu Zhen only found out that Qingyangzi was standing behind him when he turned his head inadvertently.
"master……"
Gu Chen closed his eyes tightly, his eyebrows were almost locked together, his eyelashes were trembling, the muscles on his face were trembling, and his head was covered in cold sweat.
Looking at Gu Chen with silver-white hair, Qingyangzi's face became more gloomy, and his thoughts kept turning.
I have so much cultivation, but there is nothing I can do at this time.
Liu Zhen really wanted to ask Qingyangzi if he had found a way, but one look at Qingyangzi's face and he knew that even Qingyangzi was at his wits' end.
"Senior Brother Gu..."
…
…
Although Gu Chen's consciousness was still there at this time, it was extremely blurry and his mind was filled with white mist.
The intense pain made him convulse. He had no way to resist, no way to faint, no way to avoid, only to endure.
Gu Chen felt more and more uncomfortable. This kind of discomfort seemed to have no end, and this kind of pain was boundless.
He didn't know how long he could hold on. He felt that his consciousness was erratic and might dissipate at any time.
Gu Chen tried his best to hold his breath and gritted his teeth. While he couldn't pass out, he didn't dare to let himself pass out.
Once the spirit relaxes and the consciousness dissipates, even if his body is still alive, his person will be no different from death.
He couldn't relax for a moment, but the pain always pulled away, scattered, or even broke his consciousness.
In the depths of that white misty consciousness, Gu Chen unconsciously raised his feet and walked forward.
He didn't know where he was going, but his subconscious avoidance of pain made him unwilling to stay where he was.
Even though he knew that this kind of pain would follow him wherever he went, he still didn't stop, looking for the salvation that didn't exist somewhere.
"Maybe if you die, there will be no pain."
There are cracks on the ice lake in my mind. The thin layer of ice is like a spider web, which may fall apart at any time, but it is still connected by threads, and there are always threads entangled and struggling.
In the white mist, I saw a figure in front of me. Although he looked short and thin, he stood tall and raised his sword to the sky.
There was thunder rolling in the sky, making a roaring sound that made people's eardrums tremble.
A purple thunder suddenly struck, striking directly above the man's heavenly spirit.
The world suddenly darkened, and purple thunder became the only light.
In the purple thunder light, all the bones of the man were visible, and cracks were produced under the lightning strikes.
"That is……"
Gu Chen's heart was tense.
The purple thunder light disappeared in an instant.
When the man fell to the ground, another figure flashed over, picked him up, and entered Yuanli to protect his heart.
"I asked you to practice the Zixiao Thunder Technique to achieve your success, but you used it to destroy your own meridians..."
"...It is...the responsibility of the disciple, the disciple...should bear it..."
They were still far away from the two figures, but the conversation between the two people clearly reached Gu Chen's ears.
Gu Chen's mind was roaring, his consciousness became more confused, and memories came over him like waves, making that memory deep and blurry for a while.
Someone sighed, the sound came and echoed.
"Why is this so?"
"Why is this so?"
"Why is this so?"
…
Gu Chen's figure trembled, and his state of mind became increasingly unstable. The four words "Why is this happening?" kept echoing in his ears.
The echoes made him feel like his ears were ringing.
"Do you know how much the sect has valued and cared for you in the past twelve years? Even if you have extraordinary qualifications, without the sect's preciousness and allocating resources for you, how could you have achieved this? And this is how you repay Sect?"
"No...it's not..."
Gu Chen shook his head.
He put his head in his hands and suddenly regretted why he was so impulsive.
"The Pure Jun Immortal Sword is held at the foot of the Prison Dragon Stream. The depth of the stream is 15,000 feet. According to the sect's rules, my master can only protect me on the top of the peak. We are as far apart as heaven and earth. How can we know what has happened? Moreover, the Prison Dragon Stream is After all, it is a forbidden area for the sect, deep inside the sect..."
"You mean you don't have the responsibility, only the sect has the responsibility?"
Gu Chen had a splitting headache.
There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but he couldn't even say them when he reached his lips.
In confusion, he suddenly shouted: "I am the sword guard, so the responsibility lies with me. I am willing to be punished. I will bear the punishment whether I am wrong or guilty. It has nothing to do with my master, but...but..."
Gu Chen looked up to the sky and yelled, "Why should I bear this unreasonable disaster, unreasonable crime and punishment? Why should I bear it?"
The unwillingness and grievance in his heart filled him up. Gu Chen lay on the ground and asked questions.
In the heart of the lake, the ice on the lake cracked and fell apart, turning into pieces of ice and sinking one after another.
