After leaving the Holy Mountain, Gu Xu continued westward.
The weapon spirit of Jinghong Pen has turned into a little girl of four or five years old, with black hair like a mirror and skin like jade, like an ice and snow elf that only appears in the deepest and sweetest dreams.
But even though she has grown so big, she still can only say the word "gongzi".
If she were a human child, she would have made her parents anxious because of her stunted brain development.
"You were the deepest obsession in her heart before she died."
In this regard, the white-haired boy gave this explanation.
At this moment, the towering Kunlun Mountains appeared at the end of Gu Xu's sight.
The peaks tower into the sky, winding and winding, with heads held high and tails raised.
Under the sunlight, it looks like a silver dragon lying on the earth, and like a sword thrust into the blue sky.
Gu Xu was quite familiar with the scene in front of him.
When he was promoted to the fourth realm, he once used the "astrolabe" to see a group of monks commanding civilians to bring huge stones carved with complicated patterns and arrange formations in the nearby area.
And when he jumped into "Guixu" and traveled to the future time and space, he personally came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain and used "Firefly Flame" to destroy the "Tongtian Tower", which is said to enable practitioners to cross The great formation of the two realms.
"The construction of 'Babel Tower' has not yet started. "He looked at the deserted scenery in front of him and thought to himself.
To reach Kunlun Mountain, he still needs to pass through two barriers that are insurmountable for mortals.
One is the volcano.
One is the weak water river.
The flaming volcano is burning with blazing flames that will never go out. The flames are so hot that any stone thrown into it will be instantly reduced to ashes.
However, for Gu Xu, who is proficient in fire magic, climbing the Yanshan Mountain is not difficult at all.
On the contrary, this Yanshan Mountain provided him with an excellent opportunity to practice.
He used his spiritual consciousness to introduce flames into his meridians, further tempering and purifying his true essence. At the same time, he also silently pondered and gained insights to further improve the technique "Red Flame True Technique".
After climbing over the volcano, he felt that his body was filled with majestic power, and every drop of blood seemed to have turned into magma, waiting to be released in the future battle.
But Gu Xu's eyes remained calm, like the surface of a lake frozen by ice and snow in winter.
The Weishui River is an abyss surrounding Kunlun.
It is a full two hundred and forty feet deep.
The river itself is also very strange, with no buoyancy at all - let alone wood, even the lightest feathers will sink to the bottom of the river.
It is impossible for ordinary people to cross this river. Practitioners who fly with swords will also fall into the river from the air.
There is also a monster living at the bottom of the Weishui River, named "Yao Yao", with a human face and a snake body, and a ferocious appearance. Anyone who tries to sneak across will be eaten by it.
But this still doesn't faze Gu Xu.
He used the power of "Qiankun" to pass directly through the space crack and came to the other side of the weak water. He made Yaoyao at the bottom of the river roar angrily, but there was nothing he could do to him.
However, successfully crossing the weak water does not mean that the rest of the road will be smooth.
There are many terrifying monsters on Kunlun Mountain——
For example, the "earth mole" looks like a sheep with four horns on its head and feeds on humans.
For example, "Qinyuan" is shaped like a bee and is as big as a mandarin duck. If it stings, birds and beasts will die, and trees will wither if it stings.
…
"Do you know why Kunlun Mountain is so dangerous?" During the climb, the white-haired boy suddenly asked Gu Xu.
"To prevent mortals from climbing to the top?" Gu Xu guessed.
"That's right," the white-haired boy nodded, "hundreds of years ago, Kunlun Mountain was much higher than it is now. It reached straight into the sky and was a ladder connecting the upper and lower worlds. The envoys sent by Supreme Haotian can Through this staircase, you can easily reach the wilderness and inspect the prison.
"But the 'prisoners' in the lower realm are blocked by many obstacles and cannot go to the upper realm through this staircase."
After hearing his words, Gu Xu raised his head and looked towards the snow-capped peak of Kunlun Mountain.
I saw a steep cliff standing straight, inserted into the depths of the white clouds, as if it had been struck by a fairy's ghost axe. Just looking up, the overwhelming pressure is enough to make people dizzy and make their feet tremble. trembling.
It seemed that in the next second, the entire mountain would collapse, burying people underneath.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of years ago, it was even higher than it is now.
"Then why is this staircase disconnected now?" Gu Xu asked.
"It was broken by Emperor Wuzong of the Chu Dynasty." The white-haired boy answered.
"Emperor Wuzong of Great Chu? He actually did such a thing?" Gu Xu was a little surprised by this.
Emperor Wuzong of the Great Chu was named Xiong Tianxi, and he was the penultimate emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty. During his reign, he ignored government affairs and liked to lead a group of practitioners everywhere, such as going to the mountains to fight with monsters and ghosts, going to the three major sects to challenge people, and even went to the Temple of God to provoke trouble and return it to himself. He was given the title "Shen Might Defeating Heaven General".
According to historical records, due to the emperor's various absurd behaviors and increasingly fierce social conflicts, the national power of the Chu Dynasty declined rapidly. After Wu Zong's death, he was soon replaced by the great emperor who held the "Tai'a Sword". Taizu of Qi was destroyed.
"Chu Wuzong is a strong man in the Sixth Level Prison of the Eighth Realm, even more powerful than the current Emperor Tianxing," the white-haired boy chuckled. "He killed the two envoys sent by Supreme Supreme Haotian to the Great Wilderness World. .”
Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"Historical books have never recorded Chu Wuzong's cultivation, let alone these things."
"Historical books are all written by future generations. These things are a great shame for Taishang Haotian! As Taishang Haotian's lackeys, how could the Daqi royal family record these humiliations for others to see?"
"Then how do you know this?"
"Because that Chu Wuzong is mine."
"your people?"
"To be precise, they are your people. Whether Chu Wuzong killed the envoy or broke the stairs to the sky at the top of Kunlun, it was all your arrangement. It's just that after reincarnation, you completely forgot about it."
While the white-haired boy was talking, a large number of familiar and unfamiliar memory fragments suddenly emerged in Gu Xu's mind.
He saw himself floating in a dark room like a ghost, with Luo Chuan standing beside him with a respectful expression.
A middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe knelt in front of him, bowing his head and listening to his orders.
These pictures are extremely clear, as if they really happened.
Gu Xu couldn't help but frown, feeling his head hurt badly.
"Am I really not a time traveler from the earth, but the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei? Are the nearly twenty years of experience on earth really just my training in the world of mortals?"
When he thought this, the faces of his parents, relatives, friends, teachers, etc. in his memory gradually became blurrier and more distant, as if they had become NPCs in the game, accompanying him. A long dream, but it could no longer make his emotions fluctuate at all.
