While speaking, "Gu Xu" moved his hands without any hesitation.
Silver-white starlight fell from the sky and gathered on his fingertips, forming a blazing flame that enveloped Kong Xuan Sanren's entire body.
Kong Xuan Sanren realized that the other party had already seen through his trick.
He made a prompt decision and simply threw away his heavy body, trying to escape through the cracks in space in the form of his soul.
This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult decision for Kong Xuan Sanren - losing his body means that his cultivation level will plummet. Even if he succeeds in acquiring a new body in the future, it will be difficult to return to today's state.
But in order to survive, he had no choice.
The next moment, his body had been burned into black ashes by the flames of "Gu Xu", which looked no different from the charcoal in the brazier.
"Gu Xu" glanced at the black dust on the ground and frowned.
He put away the "astrolabe", raised his hand, and held it gently in the air.
Kong Xuan Sanren's soul immediately took shape in his hands——
I saw "Gu Xu" using his thumb and index finger to wrap around the neck of a translucent little man a few inches tall.
The villain kicked his legs wildly and struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from "Gu Xu"'s restraints.
"Why?" the little man with white hair and white beard hissed.
"What's wrong?" "Gu Xu" raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him playfully, "Not convinced?"
"God won't let me, God won't let me," Kong Xuan Sanren's soul continued to mutter to himself, with an expression of extreme despair, "Not only is there no way to ascend, but he can't even become a ghost."
"You are my subject," "Gu Xu" said calmly, "How could the one in the sky let you escape from the prison so easily?"
"What do you mean by that?" Upon hearing the word "cage", Kong Xuan Sanren immediately stopped struggling and looked at "Gu Xu" seriously.
He thought of the horrific scenes he experienced when he ascended, and of the golden divine thunder that struck him. He desires to know the truth about ascension more than anyone else in the world.
And now, "Gu Xu" seems to be able to solve his years of confusion.
"Gu Xu" said nothing.
He gently tapped Kong Xuan Sanren's head with the fingertips of his other hand, injecting a memory into his soul.
Kong Xuan Sanren first showed a blank look in his eyes, his thoughts were overwhelmed by the massive amount of information; after a few seconds, he became dumbfounded and shocked again.
"You...you are——"
"——Yes, it's me." "Gu Xu" nodded lightly.
Kongxuan Sanren sighed deeply, lowered his head and said, "Can you be noble and let me go this time? I would like to work as a cow or a horse in the future, and I will be at your disposal -"
"——If I let you go," "Gu Xu" stopped his smile and interrupted him, "then who will pay for Lu Shiyao's life?"
"She died many years ago," sensing the murderous intent in "Gu Xu's" voice, Kong Xuan Sanren defended in panic, "I gave her a second life..."
However, before he could finish speaking, "Gu Xu"'s hand suddenly clenched.
There was only a "bang" sound, and Kong Xuan Sanren's soul burst like an exploding balloon, turning into countless translucent fragments, which soon dissipated into the air and ceased to exist.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?" "Gu Xu" quietly looked at the place where Kong Xuan Sanren disappeared. He was silent for a moment and said to himself, "I have completely shattered his three souls and seven souls. Now even if Taishang Hao Even if God himself comes, he will not be able to save him.”
Gu Xu's true self has been silently watching this battle in the world of consciousness.
In the process of the white-haired boy borrowing his body to solve the hidden clones of Kong Xuan Sanren one after another, he felt a large amount of knowledge pouring into his mind, which made him understand the way of cause and effect, the authority of "Destiny", and the astrolabe. The understanding of usage has improved to a higher level.
Every star in the sky seems to reflect the fate of every person on the earth - when he holds the astrolabe and looks up at the stars, all hidden cause and effect will become invisible.
"It's time to give your body back to me!" Gu Xu said.
"Huh, I'm just thinking about my body, and I don't even want to say 'thank you'." The white-haired boy curled his lips and retreated into Gu Xu's sea of consciousness with some reluctance, "Hey, I have to say, the breath is fresh. The feeling of the air is really comfortable.”
As Gu Xu regained control of his body, he felt that the vast and majestic true energy belonging to Luo Chuan in his body suddenly drained out like a flood that broke a bank.
A strong sense of exhaustion washed over him.
The snow in Liangzhou City has stopped.
Kongxuan Sanren is dead.
He was finally safe.
But he didn't feel the relief he expected. Instead, he felt lost and depressed.
It was like a big stone was pressing on his chest, making him breathless.
As long as he holds the Jinghong Pen in his hand, he can seem to see the snow girl in a plain skirt standing in front of him, curiously experiencing the smell of fireworks in the market.
"Tell me, if you practice the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" in reverse, can it really turn into the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique" that transforms ghosts into humans?" After a long silence, Gu Xu asked the white-haired boy.
"You're not a ghost, why are you asking?"
"What Lu Shiyao longed for most during his lifetime was to be a human again and truly experience the world," Gu Xu responded softly, "I really want to help her fulfill her wish."
"She is already dead, completely melted," the white-haired boy said. "Even if you really research the "Ming Zhao Forbidden Technique", it will be of no use."
"There is really no possibility of her being resurrected?" Gu Xu asked with a frown, "For example, going back in time, or searching for her soul imprint in the river of destiny -"
"——You are really whimsical," the white-haired boy chuckled, "When you reach a higher level, the 'time' authority does have the ability to go back in time, but it can only go back a very short time, which is not enough at all. To help you change history. As for the river of destiny... I'm afraid you have to wait until you reach the 'Return to Ruins' realm before you can truly explore it."
"'Return to the ruins'..." Gu Xu silently repeated the word, his mood becoming more and more complicated.
"Just think of this as my whimsical obsession," he thought for a while and then said stubbornly, "Just tell me, is it possible to practice the 'Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique' reversely?"
"Of course they exist," the white-haired boy replied without hesitation, "The creatures in the wilderness, whether they are humans or ghosts, were all my former subjects, but they were turned into the current cannibalistic state by Supreme Haotian. Since people can become ghosts, then ghosts can also become adults."
"Then, can you help me to research this reverse training method together?"
"You have to know that I never like to do meaningless things," the white-haired boy raised his chin and said, "But if you sincerely beg me, maybe I can consider it."
