"coming."
Li Ruolan, who was standing on the high tower of the pavilion, murmured to herself, and the appearance of the dark beam made her face light up. She knew what its appearance meant.
Because she is the one who created this dark beam. She knew that the appearance of this dark beam was just a sign.
It symbolizes that Gu Qingyang has entered the Eastern Land.
This means that she can let Gu Qingyang establish contact with it in the next time, thereby completely activating the curse pattern of the causal curse.
In this way, every time Gu Qingyang gets closer to the East China Sea, Gu Qingyang's injuries will become more serious and his recovery will become slower.
At the same time, Gu Qingyang's strength will also be suppressed, and the closer he gets to the source of the dark beam, the more severely his strength will be suppressed.
Gu Qingyang is a party involved, and Gu Qingyang himself has a profound knowledge of cultivation, so Gu Qingyang naturally knows everything.
And she is the person sent by the Changsheng Palace to eliminate Gu Qingyang. It can be said that all the people in the Daotong who target Gu Qingyang must accept her dispatch.
Apart from the Supreme Heaven and the Free Heaven, she is the other organizer.
Until Gu Qingyang brings the Blue Blood Pill Heart Order here, the curse pattern of the causal curse will always exist on Gu Qingyang's body.
And now, she can even use this dark beam to determine Gu Qingyang's whereabouts.
All these signs proved to her that she had the advantage. With such conditions placed in front of her, how could she not feel happy about it?
"Gu Qingyang."
Li Ruolan silently recited this name that was famous throughout the wilderness, and felt endless killing intent in his heart.
In a daze, she felt that she had seen what that person looked like when he fell. So that killing intention turned into a meaning of expectation.
"I really look forward to your demise."
After thinking about it, Li Ruolan put down all the thoughts in her heart. She looked firmly at the beam of light rising into the sky, and then raised her hand.
One by one, pitch-black runes sprouted from her fingertips, converging into a stream of light that rushed towards the beam of light like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
"boom!"
The moment those runes merged with the beam, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, shaking the entire sky.
At the same time, the bone cultivators who were guarding here were secretly frightened when they saw this scene. Although they knew from the beginning that Li Ruolan was powerful.
But after all, they still couldn't imagine how powerful this woman could be, and now that they have seen the real person and the truth, they will naturally feel it.
…
"Boom boom boom boom——"
Compared with the surging East China Sea, the battlefield on the border of Eastern Turkey is obviously more lively. Amidst the roar, Gu Qingyang's power fully exploded.
Originally... with Gu Qingyang's methods and combat experience, he didn't need to fight like this. However, his strength has been partially suppressed.
In order to get an absolutely guaranteed victory, at this time, he could only use all his strength to win without any surprises.
"ah--"
On the battlefield, from time to time there will be heart-wrenching wailing sounds. Those sounds naturally did not belong to Gu Qingyang.
This night's battle is already dawn.
Hualu was still sleeping soundly in Gu Qingyang's arms, while Gu Qingyang was holding the little girl firmly in one hand and holding the Great Heavenly Wild Halberd firmly in his other hand.
He stood proudly on the battlefield, his clothes were in tatters and there were many scars on his body, which was shocking.
Gusts of wind blew in, stirring his hair. At this moment, his hair was covered with black hair, his expression was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
In the eyes of his enemies, such a person looks like a god of death, the legendary peerless demon.
Before this battle, many of his opponents really looked down on him.
The gap in realm, the gap in quantity... These people really couldn't figure out why Gu Qingyang was worthy of them before taking action.
Although each of them holds a piece of information related to Gu Qingyang, in their opinion, the information is too miraculous.
Are there really such people in this world?
Anyway, they didn't believe it. They were skeptical about Gu Qingyang's strength until they actually started fighting with him.
However, adhering to the attitude of believing in the sect more than the alliance, they still resolutely used their full strength from the beginning.
Only after they actually started doing it did they realize that this was the right thing for them to do.
After actually taking action, they discovered that Gu Qingyang's realm was just as fake.
They were all thunder spells, and when some of them were used, they could only add a few white or blood marks to Gu Qingyang's skin.
When Gu Qingyang used it, he could directly inflict serious injuries on some of them.
This was an intuitive reflection of the gap between them, and it had a huge impact on them.
What's even more amazing is that Gu Qingyang even refined the magic circle they used to target him, and then used their magic circle to backhand suppress them.
From that moment on, some of them felt themselves numb. They no longer doubt Gu Qingyang's strength.
When their companions died one after another, the remaining survivors even felt that the information given by the sect was still conservative.
Where is the eighth level bone cultivator here?
This is clearly a thirteenth-level bone cultivator wearing the guise of an eighth-level bone cultivator, right? Otherwise, how could this man kill them so easily?
Gu Qingyang was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is cunning, shameless, good at disguise, and likes to use deceit and lies to kill people!
The soul-killing move - the soul-searching technique.
As the last enemy's soul light was also eliminated in Gu Qingyang's hands, only Gu Qingyang and Hualu were left alive on the battlefield.
Maybe it's because the battle is finally over, or maybe it's because it's already dark. Coral, who had been sleeping soundly for a long time, finally opened her eyes.
"call--"
A cool breeze blew in, causing the coral to suddenly feel a biting cold. She shrank subconsciously, seeking warmth.
But she also immediately realized that she did not wake up in her grandfather's arms, but in Gu Qingyang's arms.
The smell of blood came with the wind, and the coral suddenly woke up completely.
She looked down at the ground and realized that she was hundreds of feet in the air.
This made her feel extremely scared. This was the first time she had experienced such an experience in her entire life.
In the past days, Gu Qingyang would also take her on the road by soaring, but in the past they didn't need to fly so high.
What's more, she is obviously on a battlefield now. She was very familiar with the smell of blood.
"call--"
Before even a breath passed, fear and numbness filled her heart.
She was afraid, both of the death of others and of her own death.
Based on her experience in dealing with Gu Qingyang these days, she felt that Gu Qingyang might really kill her for some reason.
So she has been living cautiously these days, and must seek Gu Qingyang's consent no matter what she does.
She was afraid that Gu Qingyang would be angry with her.
As for numbness...let alone her, even if those adults were to experience this kind of scene every day, their spirits would still collapse.
She can adapt and insist on abiding by her own "laws of survival" after adapting, which is an extremely difficult thing in itself.
After a long silence, Coral still shrank into Gu Qingyang's arms.
She did have an instinctive impulse to escape from Gu Qingyang's arms, but this impulse was killed by herself.
This place is hundreds of feet high in the sky. If Gu Qingyang lets go, her life will be over. She didn't want to end her life like this.
So no matter how scared she was of Gu Qingyang, at this time, she still longed for warmth and protection.
At this moment, Gu Qingyang was wandering in the sky.
"What becomes of the soul after death?"
This was the question that Gu Qingyang thought of after seeing that ray of soul light. It was a conjecture that he had put forward a long time ago.
His conjecture is really interesting. The main content of the conjecture is the death of the soul. What would the soul become if it could die?
Does it disappear completely, or turns into another existence similar to a soul?
When he first thought about this question, Gu Qingyang already realized how important the answer to this question would be.
But he really couldn't imagine what the answer to this question would be, because he had never seen what the soul looked like after it died.
From the perspective of a living being, no matter how carefully you look at it, you can only see the soul completely disappearing before your eyes.
Just like that...
Hundreds of feet high in the sky, Gu Qingyang thought about this problem for a long time and considered many possibilities. But in the end, he still didn't get the answer.
"That's all—"
After a long time, Gu Qingyang woke up leisurely.
But when he woke up, he was shocked by the sight before him. There were actually countless black lines growing on this battlefield, surging towards him.
His intuition told him that these black lines were extremely dangerous things. If he wanted to live well, he should avoid them.
But he woke up too late.
In just a moment, these black lines poured into his body. Then it merged with the causal curse on him.
"The power of the curse is strong because of it."
Gu Qingyang saw the evolution of the curse marks in his body, and also recognized the trend of their changes this time.
But he can't change anything. He could see that the evolution of these curse patterns was in line with the evolution of the Great Law.
Even if he tried to stop it, he couldn't change anything, because this thing was essentially destined to happen.
"From the moment these people receive the order to kill me, the corresponding power of cause and effect will be derived from their bodies."
"Whether I kill them or not, as long as they meet me, the cursed power in their bodies will enter my body."
"As a result, the power of the curse in my body will definitely continue to grow. When the day comes that I arrive in the East China Sea..."
"hiss--"
"Tiandao is indeed very scheming, and these people in the Palace of Eternal Life are also very scheming. But if you think about it carefully, how could they be ordinary people?"
"Thanks to the fact that they think highly of me, they are willing to pay such a price to deal with me, a bone cultivator with only the eighth level of cultivation."
"It's not pleasant to bear the price of the power of cause and effect. It seems that among these so-called righteous people, there are also people who dare to sacrifice."
…
Gu Qingyang thought as he silently returned to the ground with Coral.
He finally discovered that those people had definitely left a lot of tricks up their sleeves in order to kill him.
If things continue like this, let alone go to the East China Sea to settle the cause and effect. As long as he can still live and travel a certain distance, he must be considered powerful.
But does he have any other choice?
There are thousands of ways to move forward in the world, but only this one leads to the future he wants. Only this one was his active choice.
"call--"
Sighing silently, Gu Qingyang sat cross-legged on the spot, silently running his spiritual power and deducing magical powers to heal himself.
He knew that life was often like this. There are some choices that he doesn't want to choose, but too many times, he just has to face them.
Since we are destined to move forward.
Since we can only move forward.
Then go forward boldly, even if you are destined to be shattered into pieces if you continue, it doesn't matter to him. He will accept everything calmly.
"cough--"
However, as the spiritual power circulated in the body for several large cycles, Gu Qingyang still keenly discovered his own problem.
Under the influence of those curse marks, his recovery speed from injuries was slowed down again. And those curses actually began to evolve on their own.
He thought of the blood channel.
With his methods, it would not be difficult to restore these injuries with blood. He only needs to kill more creatures to recover from his injuries.
But in this case, killing many creatures in order to recover from injuries has become inevitable.
Moreover, because the power of the curse has been strengthened many times. To recover from his injuries, he would inevitably need to kill more creatures.
"cough--"
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but open his eyes. He coughed a few times, giving people the feeling of being terminally ill.
Just by hearing the sound, even the ignorant Coral would recognize him as a dying person. But his eyes were piercing.
"Clang-"
At the same moment, Coral fell to the ground. She glanced at Gu Qingyang with an extremely frightened look, and then quickly lowered her head.
She was indeed frightened by Gu Qingyang again. At that moment, Gu Qingyang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
She was really afraid of that look.
She thought it was because she picked up the things left by those bone cultivators that made Gu Qingyang so angry.
But Gu Qingyang never glanced at her from beginning to end. After opening his eyes, Gu Qingyang closed them again very quickly.
Therefore, after being stunned for a long time, Coral carefully picked up the pottery bowl that had just been thrown out.
She raised her head and glanced at Gu Qingyang.
Seeing Gu Qingyang still sitting cross-legged silently, he felt relieved. Then, she found some dead wood as firewood and collected some low-level elixirs.
"Grandpa taught me what I can and cannot eat, but why did I forget it? Oh, really, damn...me."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have to stay with this evil man while I'm alive. If I die, I'll die."
"If I die... maybe I can see grandpa. Grandpa is good to me. I miss grandpa so much. Where have you been?"
…
Coral can still make a fire to cook.
Of course, her level of living and cooking is really beyond praise. To put it bluntly, it means putting the elixir and stream water in a bowl and boiling it.
To be more specific, that pottery bowl was the natal Taoist soldier of an eleventh-level bone cultivator, but now it was used by a little girl as a pot to cook her meals.
I really don’t know how that bone cultivator would feel if he were still alive.
However, good things are good things. Even if it is a scrapped Taoist weapon, it is still a very good treasure.
What's more, what it cooks is also an elixir that condenses the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if the level of the medicine is lower, it doesn't matter.
However, just when the little girl was about to feast, Gu Qingyang, who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, opened his eyes.
Gu Qingyang turned his head and found that the little girl was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and a trace of doubt flashed in Gu Qingyang's eyes.
The little girl's eyes were red.
“Give it to you, give it to you—”
The little girl wailed and burst into tears, but she also presented the broken pottery bowl in a respectful manner.
Obviously, she had never forgotten what Gu Qingyang told her. Always remember the survival principle of "if you want to survive, you must serve him well".
Seeing her like this, Gu Qingyang suddenly felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
Only then did he realize that he had really become a villain in the eyes of this little girl.
Fortunately, no one saw this scene, otherwise, I am afraid some people would really regard him as the kind of heinous villain.
But come to think of it, a little girl in ragged clothes gave up food pitifully, and the person she gave it to was a big and thick man like him.
This scene is really sad.
In the end, Gu Qingyang took the bowl resolutely and drank all the half-cooked medicinal soup.
The medicinal properties of those elixirs were intact, and the little girl had been cooking them for a long time as if she had never cooked them. And the soup tasted really bad.
But Gu Qingyang still felt that the soup tasted very good. Maybe it's because this little girl has been cooking this bowl of soup for a long time.
"I drank your soup."
"As a price, you can eat this."
Gu Qingyang glanced at the little girl coldly, then waved his hand and immediately placed countless delicacies in front of her.
"this--"
Seeing so many delicacies that she had never dreamed of appearing out of thin air, the little girl was dumbfounded. But Gu Qingyang turned his back and smiled sadly.
He used to be like this too.
To survive alone in the boundless wilderness, one must always be on guard against attacks by wild beasts, find every opportunity to practice, and eat food that one thinks is delicious.
However, at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded, conveying vague gratitude to him intermittently.
"Thank you... thank you -"
…
