"'Qiankun'? What's its use?" Gu Xu asked.
This name sounds quite majestic. Gu Xu just hopes that it won't be too worse than "Guangyang" in use.
"You'll know after you try it." The white-haired boy likes to tell lies as always.
Gu Xu said no more.
He took a few steps forward, squatted down, reached out and grasped the thick and long nail on the white-haired boy's leg, and pulled it out with force.
The white-haired boy looked down at him, with a faint smile on his lips, seemingly feeling no pain at all.
At this moment, Gu Xu felt that an invisible gate was suddenly opened in his body, and power poured out like a flood, filling his whole body.
There seemed to be some more memories in his mind out of thin air - to be precise, these memories seemed to have been covered in dust in his mind for a long time. Now that the dust was wiped away, he could see them clearly.
"Do you know how to use 'Qiankun'?" the white-haired boy asked with a smile.
Gu Xu stood up and nodded.
"Then you go back quickly to save your fiancée," the white-haired boy said while touching his chin with his free left hand. "If my estimate is correct, His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi should probably open his eyes. I'm afraid your life from now on won't be too easy."
He deliberately emphasized the words "Your Majesty the Emperor" with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his tone.
"Open your eyes? What do you mean?" Gu Xu felt a little confused about this.
"You'll find out soon enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the white-haired boy disappeared without a trace. In Gu Xu's field of vision, only the empty "Wangxiang Terrace" remained.
Gu Xu shook his head gently and moved forward.
This white-haired boy is good at everything else, but he often doesn't understand what he says and likes to play riddles with him.
Compared with the rugged and steep 4,999 steps up the mountain, the road down the mountain is much smoother and easier to walk.
"After passing the 'Wangxiang Terrace', the 'Meng Po Pavilion' should be in front of me," Gu Xu silently thought to himself, "I have now looked back on the world, and the next step is to strengthen my Taoist heart and transcend the world of mortals.
"The 'Severing the Seven Emotions' method popular in the exorcism department, although it breaks through the realm quickly, it also has many disadvantages, which can easily affect the upper limit of future practice.
"In order to successfully cultivate into a saint in the future, I have to work hard to find a way to break through the realm that suits me."
…………
The royal treasury.
Zhao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly looking at Gu Xu who was practicing with his eyes closed beside him.
Although the space here is sealed off from all the noise and chaos, and the Mangshan Ghost King has promised not to harm the two of them, it is theoretically relatively safe.
But Zhao Yan did not dare to let down her guard at all.
After all, she has the experience of breaking through the realm and knows that the process of breaking through the realm, especially the process of establishing a connection with the natal object, must not be interfered by the outside world. Once interrupted, it may cause chaos of true energy, backlash of yin energy, and make the monks go crazy. new
At the same time, she glanced at the strange fan-shaped object in Gu Xu's hand with some curiosity.
She saw that when Gu Xu was practicing, this thing shone with silver light and seemed to keep the same rhythm as his breathing.
"This must be the life thing he chose for himself!" she thought.
Zhao Yan doesn't know "Astrolabe".
However, this thing can be stored in the royal treasury along with many precious treasures, and can be noticed by the owner of the famous "Jinghong Brush", so it must be an extraordinary thing.
At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly opened his eyes.
Zhao Yan immediately noticed the surge of aura on his body.
In addition, she also noticed that Gu Xu's pupils turned into a deep indigo blue, as if hiding the vast sea of stars.
It was obvious that Gu Xu had only broken through to the fourth realm, and was still one level lower than her.
But when the two people's eyes collided, Zhao Yan felt a huge pressure. This pressure seems to be stronger than that of her saint father, more like walking into a court to meet a king or worshiping a god in front of an altar.
But in the blink of an eye, this pressure disappeared, and Gu Xu's eyes turned black again, as if it was all just her illusion.
Every genius has his own secret. Zhao Yan told herself this. A monster like Gu Xu, who has broken through four realms within a year, must have a lot of secrets hidden in him.
So, she suppressed her curiosity for the time being and said to Gu Xu: "Is the breakthrough going well?"
Gu Xu nodded and added: "I found a way to leave this warehouse."
"Really?" Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
The two of them had previously tried to break the restrictions left by the Mangshan Ghost King, but they were helpless because of the power of the laws of space hidden in them.
But now, Gu Xu said so calmly that he could break the restriction and leave the warehouse.
Did he figure out the rules of the restriction so quickly?
Although they only met for the first time today, Zhao Yan could feel that Gu Xu was not a person who liked to talk big - he would never act so confident without being completely sure.
Could it be that the secret lies in the mysterious magic weapon in his hand?
Gu Xu stood up without explaining to her. Now Xiaohan is still in the hands of the "Ghost Waiter" and cannot allow him to waste time here.
Then he took a deep breath and poured his true energy into the incomplete "astrology chart" in his hand.
His eyes turned indigo again.
The lines on the surface of the "astrolabe" that symbolize the movement of the stars shine with silver luster.
Around Gu Xu, several dark rays of light also appeared, as sharp as lightning, as if they could cut off everything in the world.
Zhao Yan knew that these black lights were actually cracks in space.
For most monks, without the help of magic weapons such as "Sky Breaking Pearl", they usually need to reach the seventh level to have the ability to tear apart space and move instantaneously.
Perhaps some monks who specialize in space laws can learn this skill earlier, but that will also require years or even decades of study.
After all, traveling through space is very dangerous and requires extremely precise calculations. If you make a slight mistake, you may be trapped in the gaps in space and crushed into pieces by the turbulent flow of time and space.
But it only took Gu Xu a few minutes to master this skill.
Is this because his talent is too amazing, or is his mysterious magic weapon too powerful?
Soon, these black lights intertwined to create a brand new space passage.
This is the power of "Qiankun".
If "Guangyin" is the control of time, then "Qiankun" is the control of space. With the help of "Qiankun", Gu Xu can tear apart space and perform short-distance teleportation with just his cultivation in the fourth realm.
One of the functions of the astrolabe is to use the movements of stars in the sky to deduce misfortunes and blessings in the world.
Although it is now incomplete, it cannot allow Gu Xu to see everything in the world at a glance like it did on the "Wangxiang Terrace".
But it is enough to calculate the relevant coordinates of the space channel.
In addition, Gu Xu also noticed that with this breakthrough, his original "time" authority seemed to have become a lot stronger, but he needed to wait until actual combat to verify it.
After a while, the space passage has basically taken shape.
Gu Xu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yan next to him: "Do you want to go together?"
Zhao Yan nodded and finally recovered from the surprise.
"Where does Gu Daoyou plan to go?" she asked.
"Luojing Li Renfang," Gu Xu replied, "my fiancée was kidnapped by the ghost king's 'ghost attendant' in Mangshan. I need
Go get her out. "
It turns out that he is already engaged. Zhao Yan thought to herself.
A few days ago in Luo Jing City, Gu Xu's engagement was a hotly discussed topic. Some people lamented the relationship between Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan who shared hardships and supported each other all the way from Yishui to the capital, while others secretly complained that Gu Xu got engaged too early and lost their chance.
It's just that during that time, Zhao Yan had been concentrating on practicing in seclusion at home for the Luoshui Conference, so naturally she didn't care about these "gossip things".
"I'll go with you," she said calmly, "The 'Ghost Warrior' is definitely not weak. With me here, the chance of winning will be greater."
She made this decision suddenly.
Maybe it was because he wanted to repay Gu Xu for helping him awaken his bloodline, or maybe because he wanted to see what his fiancée looked like.
Maybe it was just Luo Jing's accident and her father's actions that made her lose her direction and couldn't figure out what she should do.
Gu Xu nodded, and then took the lead into the space passage.
According to Shi Xiaohan's previous description in a letter, "The Undefeated Sword God" Hu Yun has the sixth level of cultivation. Now he has become the "Ghost Attendant" of the Ghost King of Mangshan, and he will surely master more weird and unpredictable skills. The means, and even the soul of Mangshan Ghost King, may come to Hu Yun at any time.
Facing such an enemy, Gu Xu was not sure of victory.
Although Zhao Yan suffered a little in his hands, she was a genuine fifth-level monk after all, and after her bloodline awakening, her strength increased significantly again.
If she is willing to go together, she will undoubtedly be a powerful help.
…………
Luojing, Zichen Palace.
The Qianyang Hall, the residence of the Da Qi Emperor, is majestically located on a three-story white marble platform. The golden glazed tiles and red palace walls complement each other, making it appear magnificent.
Even though Luojing City has been reduced to chaos due to the attack of ghosts and monsters, the Qianyang Palace is still as silent as ever, with incense lingering, as if it is an independent world.
In the center of the main hall, the golden lacquered dragon throne on the nine steps is empty.
For more than ten years, Emperor Tianxing has never appeared on this chair.
Even if high-ranking ministers like Luo Chuan, the Imperial Master of Da Qi and the Chief of the Exorcism Department, came to the palace to have an audience, or the eunuchs in the palace came upon summons, they had only heard the voice of Emperor Tianxing through the screen, but they never heard it. I have never seen the emperor with my own eyes.
Some people even once doubted whether His Majesty the Emperor had already ascended to immortality many years ago, and what is left in the world now is just an empty shell.
But today, there was finally movement behind the screen.
…………
Emperor Tianxing's real name is "Xiao Zeyao". After he ascended the throne, in order to facilitate the subjects to avoid taboos, he changed his name to "Xiao Xian".
He has an upright appearance and a majestic temperament, and his bright yellow imperial robe is particularly eye-catching in the dim palace.
Due to his advanced cultivation, he looks much younger than he actually is, with no wrinkles on his face.
For all these years, he had been sitting cross-legged behind the screen, motionless.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing lightly and heartbeating, if it weren't for the hanging lace on his imperial crown still swaying gently in the breeze, if it wasn't for the fact that he often summoned important ministers and issued imperial edicts, I'm afraid others would be shocked after seeing this scene. I thought what I saw was not a person, but a lifelike sculpture.
On his lap lay a three-foot-long sword.
This sword is made of bronze, has a simple shape, does not have much decoration, and is not particularly sharp. At first glance, it seems very inconspicuous.
But on its hilt, the word "Tai'a" is engraved in seal script.
This is the "Tai'a Sword" that symbolizes the highest power of the Daqi Dynasty and that the princes and princesses compete for. It is also the hub of the "Tianlong Formation".
Emperor Tianxing's eyes were always tightly closed.
It was as if someone had sewn it up with needle and thread.
He did not open his eyes when summoning his ministers; he did not open his eyes when selecting palace officials; he did not open his eyes when issuing imperial edicts; he did not open his eyes when reading secret memorials.
Even if the Luoshui Conference was held, even if a large number of ghosts broke through the city, and even if Duke Zhao Changying of Yan State walked into the palace gate with the Ghost King of Mangshan, he still did not open his eyes.
It seemed that the fall of Luo Jing had nothing to do with him.
But at this moment, he opened his eyes.
If Gu Xu were present at this time, he would find that the moment Emperor Tianxing opens his eyes is the moment he establishes a connection with the "astrolabe".
It matches perfectly, exactly.
The emperor's eyes were not the normal black or dark brown, but bright gold, the same color as his imperial robe, bright and particularly dazzling.
"Cao Tong." He said calmly.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Cao Tong, the eunuch of Bingbi, hurried into the palace and knelt respectfully in front of the screen.
Cao Tong has always been the master of the inner court, and sometimes even the officials in the court would act based on his expression, but in this Qianyang Palace, he behaved like a quail.
On the one hand, this is because the power of the chamberlains comes from the emperor.
On the other hand, it was because the eunuchs stayed in the palace all the time and had a deeper understanding of the terrifying pressure on Emperor Tianxing than others.
They regarded Emperor Tianxing as a god-like being.
Today, when they reported to the emperor the news that the ghosts had breached the Luojing city wall, Emperor Tianxing just said lightly, "I understand," without any other reaction. It seemed that this was just a trivial matter, unlike "Prince." There is no difference between "I peed my pants" and "A bowl was broken in the royal kitchen".
But the eunuchs were not panicked at all.
Because they believed that this was a sign that His Majesty the Emperor was sure of victory. As long as His Majesty is still in Luojing City, no matter how terrifying the ghosts are, they will be wiped out in his hands.
"There is a traitor in Luo Jing." Emperor Tianxing continued, slightly raising his voice.
His voice was still calm.
But for some reason, Cao Tong actually heard a hint of vigilance in it.
His Majesty the Emperor... is actually a little nervous?
No, this must be my imagination!
Cao Tong warned himself in his heart.
"Please tell me the identity of the traitor," he said. "I will take people to capture him right now."
The emperor did not respond immediately.
After a moment, a golden note flew out from behind the screen and landed in front of Cao Tong.
Cao Tong picked it up carefully.
When he saw clearly what was on the paper, he was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
I saw it read: "Gu Xu, the head of the Exorcism Department, colluded with ghosts and planned to commit rebellion. He will be killed without mercy."
"Isn't the person who colluded with the ghosts Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan State?" Cao Tong felt puzzled, "Why did he suddenly become Gu Xu?
"My boss, he has outstanding talents and is highly valued by saints... He has won the leader of the Luoshui Conference today, and his future will be bright... colluding with ghosts and plotting rebellion is a huge risk for him, and it may not necessarily be beneficial... "
Cao Tong's mind became more and more confused as he thought about it.
Then he decided to give up thinking.
He told himself: Your Majesty is an eighth-level monk, the holder of the Tai'a Sword, and the most powerful person in the entire Daqi Dynasty. He can see many things that ordinary people cannot. What Your Majesty said is definitely right.
"Slave... I will definitely live up to my command." He responded respectfully.
Just when Cao Tong was about to get up and leave, he found a bright yellow figure walking out from behind the screen and standing next to the tall throne.
The figure was shrouded in strong golden light, which stung Cao Tong's eyes and made him shed tears.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty has come out of confinement?" Cao Tong was horrified again. _&
