"It has been so many days. Where have you been?"
Yue Qingyu wrinkled her nose slightly, looking somewhat angry as she asked.
It was a hot summer day at the end of July. Although there were two pine trees in the side courtyard of the Heavenly Horse Temple, they did not provide much shade.
Although Yue Qingyu, who wore snow-white swordsmanship clothes, appeared somewhat unhappy, her voice was filled with vigor. This added some liveliness to this dreary summer afternoon.
Gao Zhengyang had succeeded in tempering his body. His strength had increased greatly, so he was in a good mood. Yue Qingyu's appearance did not make him angry. Instead, he felt comfortable, like he had seen a good friend.
He said with a smile, "You missed me? Haha …"
"I missed you to death."
Yue Qingyu blushed at Xiao Chen's smile, but she did not stand on ceremony.
Gao Zhengyang had been gone for ten days without any news. Yue Qingyu was truly worried that something had happened to him. Seeing that he was alive and kicking, she didn't know why, but her heart was rather happy. Even the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Sister-in-law, did you fall in love with brother-in-law?" Gao Zhengyang teased. "I'll talk to your sister about marrying both of you. How about that?"
"Bah …" Yue Qingyu felt somewhat bashful from Gao Zhengyang's stare. She took a few steps back and said, "How can you be a brother-in-law?!"
"You don't understand. A brother-in-law definitely has to love his sister-in-law," Gao Zhengyang said seriously.
"Senior Brother, you seem to have changed into a different person," Yuan Zhen could not help interrupting. Yuan Zhen's round eyes showed some confusion and doubt.
Even when Senior Brother Wukong was with a woman, he was elegant and confident. He would not be so frivolous.
Gao Zhengyang smiled. He had succeeded in tempering his body and was in a good mood. He could not help but reveal some of his true nature. He was indeed different from the original Wukong.
Xiao Chen rapped Yuan Zhen's head heavily. "What does a child know? Quickly go and do your homework."
Yuan Zhen held his head, gritting his teeth in pain. However, he did not dare to say anything, so he helplessly went to the main courtyard to do his homework.
"The little monk is right. You seem to have changed a little?" Yue Qingyu was also puzzled. She sized up Gao Zhengyang and felt that Gao Zhengyang was different from before. But he couldn't tell what was different.
Gao Zhengyang smiled but didn't say anything. His physical body had truly entered the upper grade of the seventh rank. This kind of substantial improvement had caused great changes in both his body and spirit.
However, this change was extremely subtle and was completely hidden within his body. However, it wasn't something that could be found through simple observation.
Yue Qingyu's martial arts were superior and her sword intent was profound. She was also very familiar with him, so she was able to notice this subtle, almost invisible change.
Yue Qingyu looked at Gao Zhengyang and knew that he wouldn't explain. He felt a little uncomfortable. If her sister was here, Gao Zhengyang would definitely not pretend to be mysterious. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: Stingy.
Since she was in a bad mood, Yue Qingyu didn't want to talk anymore. She said, "Since you are back, let's go explore the ancient ruins tonight."
"Alright."
Gao Zhengyang readily agreed. He had nothing to do and there was still more than a month before the Seven Nation Alliance. It would be good to accompany Yue Qingyu to take a look. He was still very interested in the ancient ruins.
"It's a deal." Yue Qingyu tiptoed and flew out like a butterfly.
Gao Zhengyang watched the floating white figure disappear before he stepped into the main room.
Hui Ming sat there as usual. The old aura on his body seemed to be a bit stronger.
Gao Zhengyang bowed respectfully, "Master, I am back."
Hui Ming naturally knew that Gao Zhengyang had returned. He slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at him before immediately closing his eyes again.
"Your progress is very fast. Very good." Hui Ming's tone was calm, but his heart was abnormally surprised. He closed his eyes to hide the thoughts in his heart.
After not seeing him for ten days, Gao Zhengyang's Diamond Body had actually advanced a big level.
This was a bit too shocking!
One must know that Gao Zhengyang's physical body was naturally tyrannical. Before he cultivated the Diamond Body, he was already at the seventh rank of Body Refinement. Now that he had crossed a big level, he was impressively at the eighth rank of Body Refinement.
Hui Ming was even a bit jealous. It took him thirty years to go from the seventh rank to the eighth rank. Gao Zhengyang only used a total of a few months. This difference was a bit too big.
Wu Xiang was right. Gao Zhengyang was naturally suitable to cultivate the Diamond Body. According to this progress, he might be able to break through the limit of the ninth rank and become a Sage.
Thinking of this, Hui Ming was even a bit excited. For a thousand years, there was no trace of a Sage. If the Buddhist sect could produce a Sage, it would definitely carry forward the Buddhist sect and even completely suppress the Dao sect.
"The effect of the Diamond Bodhi is very good." Gao Zhengyang did not hide anything and simply explained the situation of the Diamond Bodhi. Of course, he did not mention the titanium alloy.
After listening to this, Hui Ming was silent for a while before saying apologetically, "This old monk was a bit negligent."
Hui Ming had not taken the Diamond Bodhi before, so he was not familiar with its effects. He only knew about the Diamond Bodhi through the explanation of the Vajra Arts. He also did not expect that Gao Zhengyang was different from other cultivators.
"I was a bit careless, what does it have to do with you, Master?" Gao Zhengyang frankly admitted his mistake. He had indeed taken things for granted with the Diamond Bodhi.
Hui Ming was a bit ashamed. After all, Gao Zhengyang was not his disciple, so he did not pay much attention. Something had almost happened.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hui Ming decided to make up for it. He told Gao Zhengyang about his many years of experience in cultivating the Diamond Sutra.
Gao Zhengyang saw that this was a rare opportunity, so he also asked some questions about the Vajra Arts that he did not quite understand.
Hui Ming patiently answered all of them. He also gave many suggestions about Gao Zhengyang's situation.
Gao Zhengyang felt that he had gained a lot. Hui Ming was after all a ninth rank martial arts powerhouse. Not only was his fist technique brilliant, but his understanding of the Vajra Arts was even more profound. With such a master to answer his questions, many of his doubts in cultivation were easily solved.
In a short period of time, Gao Zhengyang certainly could not have any more breakthroughs. But with these accumulations, he could see the direction clearly and not go the wrong way. He was ready for the next breakthrough.
Hui Ming was also extremely satisfied with Gao Zhengyang's comprehension. Some obstacles were solved with a little effort. In some areas, his views were innovative. It was also quite inspiring and touching for him.
Hui Ming also felt that it was a pity. If he had met Gao Zhengyang a hundred years ago, he might have had a chance to enter the peak of the ninth rank. Now that he was old and weak, and the injuries from his early years had also relapsed, it was impossible for him to improve anymore.
The two of them asked and answered, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. They chatted until the sky turned dark.
Gao Zhengyang saw that it was getting late. Although he still had many questions to discuss, it was not appropriate for him to continue. Anyway, there was still a long way to go. He could learn whenever he wanted.
He changed the topic and said, "Master, I told you last time that there is a martial arena in the Divine Martial Arena."
Hui Ming nodded. Of course he would not forget such an important matter.
Gao Zhengyang continued, "This martial arena was not discovered by me, but by Lian Jinghong. I had some conflict with him, and now we are friends. I am willing to join the Buddhist sect. "
Lian Jinghong was now one of them, and Gao Zhengyang did not want to talk about the god's contract. He casually mentioned that Lian Jinghong was absolutely reliable now.
Hui Ming thought for a while and said slowly, "This is a good thing."
The iron armored mystic soldiers were good stuff. With Lian Jinghong, the Buddhist sect would have much more confidence in talking to other countries.
"Now many people are watching Lian Jinghong, and I would like to trouble Master to escort Lian Jinghong to the main altar."
Gao Zhengyang earnestly requested.
Hui Ming nodded. "This is very important. This old monk will escort him safely."
Lian Jinghong's status was very important, and the journey to the Buddhist sect's main altar was very long. Someone had to watch over him. Although Hui Ming had not moved for decades, he could not refuse to escort Lian Jinghong.
Gao Zhengyang was also very happy. With Hui Ming's escort, Lian Jinghong could rest assured. If even Hui Ming could not stop him, then there was nothing more to say and he could only resign himself to fate.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Yue Qingyu did not come again. Gao Zhengyang brought Hui Ming to the Dragon Gate Teahouse.
As soon as they entered the underground martial arena, Lian Jinghong came to greet them.
Gao Zhengyang introduced Lian Jinghong to him, and Lian Jinghong was also very happy and very respectful to Hui Ming.
This respect came from the bottom of his heart. Compared to the way he treated Gao Zhengyang, he was more natural.
Gao Zhengyang was also a little emotional. Lian Jinghong did not know Hui Ming, but when he heard Hui Ming's name, he knelt in his heart. Instinctively, he gave Hui Ming enough respect.
The prestige of a Stage Nine powerhouse could be seen from this.
In contrast, although Gao Zhengyang could control Lian Jinghong's life, he could not make him feel that kind of sincere respect.
After packing his things, Lian Jinghong left with Hui Ming. As for this teahouse, Lian Jinghong had already arranged it. There was no need for Gao Zhengyang to worry about it.
When Gao Zhengyang returned to the Pegasus Temple, Yue Qingyu was already waiting in the courtyard.
"Brother-in-law, where did you run off to again? Don't tell me you went to meet that coquettish vixen Liu Qingge!"
Yue Qingyu's bright eyes turned, and she teased with a smile that was not a smile.
She paused and said, "I heard that something happened to Liu Qingge, and even her personal maidservant died?"
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "Is that so? Wouldn't you be happier if she was unlucky? "
Yue Qingyu originally wanted to test Gao Zhengyang, but she could not see any clues. She secretly cursed Gao Zhengyang for being cunning.
"What does Liu Qingge's life or death have to do with me? However, a few days ago, the Mountain Kingdom's imperial court sent a large force and killed all the Blood Demon Sect members that Tianyue was hiding in. The Demon Sect's situation is not too good. "
"What does it have to do with us?" How could Gao Zhengyang let a little girl get information out of him? He looked like he did not care at all.
"Hmph, I heard that the Demon Sect is furious. It is said that a few experts are preparing to come to Tianyue City. Brother-in-law, you better be careful. "Yue Qingyu kindly reminded him.
Gao Zhengyang said, "So be it. The more people there are, the livelier it will be. Moreover, they won't be able to find me. "
Gao Zhengyang turned and said, "You are not going to the ancient ruins, let's go quickly."
Yue Qingyu snorted lightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Gao Zhengyang interrupting her. However, the ancient ruins were more important, so she did not bicker.
"Follow me." Yue Qingyu exhorted and took the lead to fly out.
Yue Qingyu's Qinggong was excellent, far above Gao Zhengyang's. She deliberately did not wait for Gao Zhengyang and continued to fly in front.
Although Gao Zhengyang was not tired, he could only follow from afar and could not close the distance.
Yue Qingyu, who was in front of them, finally stopped after almost four hours of running.
Gao Zhengyang leaped a few times and landed beside Yue Qingyu.
"This is the Heavenly King Cave. I wonder when it was built and which deity was built …"
Yue Qingyu pointed at the caves on both sides and introduced to Gao Zhengyang.
This place was actually a small mountain with a huge natural crack in the middle. It was unknown who built the stone road in the crack. Then, on the two sides of the mountain walls, he carved many statues of deities.
The night was already dark. Standing in the huge crack with the tall mountain walls on both sides, it looked even more gloomy and dark.
The summer night was originally a little hot, but standing here, he only felt cold.
Gao Zhengyang adjusted his eyes and the surrounding light immediately brightened. The deity statues hidden deep in the cave also became unusually clear.
The statues were all wearing armors and holding various kinds of weapons. Because it had been too long, the layers of the statues had been eroded away. Their facial features were no longer clear. But from their standing posture, they looked very mighty and ferocious.
It looked like a statue of a god built for the generals who led the army.
"Let's go, the ancient ruins are inside." Yue Qingyu's voice was very soft. In this gloomy place, she did not dare to be too presumptuous. She seemed to be extremely restrained.
Gao Zhengyang did not speak and followed behind Yue Qingyu quietly.
On the contrary, Yue Qingyu did not like this kind of silence. She said to herself: "I heard that the Heavenly King Cave is very mystical, so I came here to play. After entering here, I felt the vibration of the godly sword. After wandering around here for a few days, I finally found the entrance … "
After Yue Qingyu finished speaking, Gao Zhengyang still did not respond. This made her a little unhappy. "Say something. Don't follow me like a ghost. It's quite scary."
Gao Zhengyang laughed, "You're not afraid, are you?"
"Hmph, what am I afraid of?" Yue Qingyu raised her chin proudly and her voice became louder.
The delicate young girl's voice caused echoes in the empty cave. "What are you afraid of?" "What are you afraid of …"
Yue Qingyu said she was not afraid but she felt a little guilty. Otherwise, she would have gone to the ancient ruins by herself.
"Are you really not afraid …" Gao Zhengyang's voice also became erratic.
Yue Qingyu's heart quivered. Of course she could see the surroundings clearly. However, there was no human in this empty and desolate place, which made people feel suppressed and uneasy.
Because the cave was narrow and winding, it was impossible to walk side by side. Yue Qingyu could only walk in front alone. Gao Zhengyang purposely scared her, which made her feel even more pressured.
"Don't try to scare me. It's useless." Yue Qingyu snorted. "I have the godly sword in my hand. If the devil comes, I will kill the devil. If the ghost comes, I will kill the ghost."
Yue Qingyu was really not afraid of ghosts. The Ice Soul Godly Sword was a rank nine Divine Soldier passed down from ancient times. Just the godly sword itself could ward off evil and ghosts.
However, there were not only ghosts in this world. There were all kinds of powerful beings. Moreover, this was an ancient ruin. Who knew what was inside?
The more unknown it was, the more afraid it was.
Although Yue Qingyu was strong, there were still things that she was afraid of. The more she felt guilty, the more she would think.
"En." Gao Zhengyang pulled Yue Qingyu from behind and stretched his hand in front of her.
Yue Qingyu was confused. "What are you doing?"
"I see that you are a little afraid. Let me lend you my hand." Gao Zhengyang said gently.
"Don't fool around." Yue Qingyu thought for a while before she understood what Gao Zhengyang meant. She gritted her teeth in anger. At this moment, Gao Zhengyang was still thinking of taking advantage of her. How hateful.
Gao Zhengyang said, "Brother-in-law is very sincere."
Yue Qingyu still wanted to reject him. However, Gao Zhengyang had already held her hand. "You don't have to be afraid this time. Let's go."
Yue Qingyu's face turned red again. She hurriedly circulated her elemental qi to suppress her boiling blood. However, she also knew that if she circulated her elemental qi, it would definitely be noticed by Gao Zhengyang. She felt even more embarrassed.
However, Gao Zhengyang's hand was slender, strong and warm. Holding it gave her an unusually calming feeling. Yue Qingyu wanted to shake it off but was reluctant.
She humphed twice and didn't know what to say. She pretended to want to shake off Gao Zhengyang's hand. However, he held it very tightly.
Yue Qingyu was also afraid that Gao Zhengyang would really let go. She pretended to be obedient very quickly.
The two of them became silent in the darkness. One in front and one behind, they walked hand in hand.
This posture was actually very uncomfortable. However, Yue Qingyu felt that it was not bad. Her heart calmed down. She held onto Gao Zhengyang's hand tightly. Many thoughts started to form in her mind.
"This brother-in-law isn't completely useless," Yue Qingyu muttered in her heart. She didn't know why, but she was a little envious and jealous of Yue Qingxue.
Although Gao Zhengyang came from a humble background, he was able to accompany his sister since young. He liked his sister.
Although his sister was lonely, there was still someone in this world who truly loved her.
Yue Qingyu couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although her aunt treated her well, it wasn't the kind of gentle familial love. Since young, Yue Qingyu was used to facing all problems alone. She originally felt that familial love and the feelings between a man and a woman were all useless. Only the sword in her hand was real.
"Hey!" Gao Zhengyang, who was behind them, suddenly shouted.
"What are you shouting for?" Yue Qingyu was immersed in her sadness. She felt extremely unhappy when she was suddenly interrupted.
"Nothing." Gao Zhengyang smiled and said, "How is it? Is my hand comfortable?"
Yue Qingyu blushed again. She originally wanted to shake off Gao Zhengyang's hand. However, she couldn't bear to do so. She could only stay silent and let Gao Zhengyang tease her.
Gao Zhengyang was originally teasing Yue Qingyu. However, seeing that she seemed to be really shy, he didn't continue to say anything.
A girl's face was tender. If he really said something, she might fall out with him.
After walking for a while, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.
This was a very big stone cave. The ground was very flat. On the stone wall, there was a stone statue that was 50 to 60 feet tall.
Perhaps it was because it was hidden deep underground, the face of the stone statue was still rather clear. The only thing that could be seen were three eyes. One hand was holding a sword, and the other was holding a long staff.
"That's him." Yue Qingyu pointed at the stone statue and said, "I have seen this stone statue in one of the books at home. It is said to be the ancestor of our Yue Clan."
Gao Zhengyang looked at the needle mark between Yue Qingyu's eyebrows. His heart was slightly moved. The mark between her eyebrows really looked like an eye.
He remembered that Yue Qingxue had a Heaven Eye between her eyebrows. Speaking of which, it was really similar to this stone statue.
It was unknown how long the statue with three eyes had been here.
Perhaps it was because it was too cold underground. The statue still had a bit of chilliness.
"Get ready, I am going to open the door …"
Yue Qingyu activated the Ice Soul Chilling Light Sword and pointed it at the huge stone statue. The sword light suddenly shone brightly.
