"Maybe Lord Ouyang is being too sensitive. I didn't believe that Lord Gu was a spy from the start. Maybe something happened in the middle. But everyone can be at ease now. Lord Gu needs to keep it a secret. We don't need to worry about the rest.
Let's go back to the south, "Lord Yuan said in a relaxed tone.
The people behind him looked at each other and followed. Puppet Town was already destroyed and was basically an empty town. There was no point in going back.
Not long after they entered, they met a patrol team.
Ever since the group of people returned from the secret realm, the patrols here had become more intensive.
"Brothers, did you meet a lone companion? He should have passed by here just now." Lord Yuan asked them politely.
"No." The person walking at the front said coldly. Their mission was very important now. They didn't even have enough time to rest. In their eyes, it was because of their incompetence that caused such panic. Of course, they didn't have any good attitude towards them.
"Thank you." No matter how cold the other party's face was, Lord Yuan still cupped his hands and smiled. They were only here to do missions and earn contribution points. Their backing was much stronger than his.
When they disappeared into the distance, Lord Yuan's face darkened and he waved his hand.
"Let's go."
"Looks like the other party really hid in secret." Yun Ming thought.
After a few days, when they reached the center, many people's faces still hadn't walked out of their memories. The entire place was a little lifeless.
"Alright, everyone is dismissed. Remember to keep Lord Gu a secret." When they reached here, their team was considered disbanded. Lord Yuan said one after another.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, they spread out and walked towards the place they wanted to go.
On the other side, You Xing brought the stone tower that Gu Zheng gave him. After a few days of running, he finally arrived near the Xuan Peak.
"Eh, I remember it was nearby. Why is it gone?" You Xing muttered to himself with a puzzled expression.
He had lived here for so many years. How could he remember wrongly? There was clearly a mountain peak here. Moreover, Elder Xiong had specially pointed it out to him. How could he suddenly not see it?
You Xing walked around in the vicinity. He didn't find anything wrong. At first, he thought that Elder Xiong had activated a restriction to hide the Xuan Peak.
But he didn't find anything wrong in the large area around here.
Beams of light shot out in all directions, but they did not cause any ripples.
"Haha, you can't find it, right?" A voice rang out in the air, mocking You Xing.
"Who is it? Don't hide your head and show your tail. What kind of hero are you?" You Xing snapped at his surroundings.
Who would have thought that after ten thousand years, the other party would still be the same?
"You already guessed it was me, didn't you? How boring." A figure suddenly appeared and complained.
"I say, Fu Yun, can't you change your personality? Don't be so happy all the time like a child." You Xing was not surprised by his appearance.
"That's just how I am. Even the King of Heaven wouldn't be here." Fu Yun walked towards You Xing and said, his tone filled with pride.
As You Xing watched him approach, the two of them suddenly attacked each other fiercely. Each of their fists collided, setting off a wave of Qi.
"I say, You Xing, it seems like you didn't fall behind. I thought you were locked up in a cage and lost your spirit," Bo Yun joked.
"Of course not. You're not dead yet, so how can I be willing to die? No matter what, I have to wait until you're dead."
The two of them leaned against each other again and hugged each other fiercely.
"Welcome back." Bo Yun's eyes were a little red as he said with a choked voice.
When the two of them separated, a cheeky smile appeared on their faces. It was as if what happened just now was just an illusion.
Bo Yun took out a talisman and released it into the air. The talisman shot out a white light in mid-air, causing ripples in the air.
Soon, a huge Void Gate appeared. Inside, there was a huge mountain with countless bubbles surrounding it, emitting colorful lights.
The two of them flew in from there and landed inside.
You Xing turned his head and saw that the Void Gate was slowly closing.
From here, it was possible to see a huge seven-colored ring of light surrounding the area. On the inner walls, there were many colorful bubbles that emitted a psychedelic glow. When one looked at it, many beautiful things would appear in their minds, making them feel like they were being sucked into it.
"Not bad, right? This is the combination of everyone's abilities. With the help of the Illusionary Flood Dragon's precious treasure and some other people's gadgets, it formed such a beautiful scene."
Bo Yun also looked inside with a yearning expression. It was as if he had already left this place and lived a free life.
"It really is shocking, but how are we going to go up?" You Xing quickly shifted his gaze and found that there was no place to climb.
Although this place was very fascinating, who didn't have a firm will? How could they be stopped by a mere yearning?
Especially when hope was right in front of them.
This was mainly to prevent people from noticing anything wrong with this place. Even You Xing was fooled, showing how extraordinary this formation was.
"Stop looking. The path up the mountain is over there. Even if you're dazzled, you won't be able to go up if you don't move." Bo Yun walked in front. Seeing that You Xing was still standing there, he couldn't help urging him.
He had already seen him coming from the mountain. He had purposely made him unable to find him. He only appeared when he was doubting himself. Now, there were many people waiting for him up there. He couldn't waste any more time.
You Xing dragged Xiao Pagoda behind him. He curiously walked up.
He remembered that this mountain didn't have it before. When he came out from the trial, he found that this place had changed greatly.
"Hurry up, hurry up. What's there to see? Everyone is waiting for you up there." Bo Yun saw that some people were slowing down and urged him.
Some people just sped up. They didn't expect the life energy here to be so rich. There were even some flowers and plants around. It was really rare.
When he climbed halfway up the mountain, he saw the green mist in the sky. He wondered if Old Xiong had robbed all the green liquid in the valley. The amount was really beyond his expectations.
At this time, he saw many familiar figures. They were all people from the valley. He didn't expect Old Xiong to bring them over.
Some people looked at You Xing curiously. They didn't expect You Xing to be a spy sent by them. Their eyes followed him, especially the stone pagoda in his hand. Everyone had heard of it, but they didn't expect him to steal it.
Most people didn't have any anger in their eyes. Everyone understood what he had done.
Soon, Fu Yun brought You Xing to the top. It was a vast platform. There were familiar figures on it.
The first person You Xing saw was Elder Xiong. She still had a gentle smile on her face as she looked at him.
"Welcome back. You've worked hard."
Fu Yun walked directly into the group of people, while You Xing stood there in a daze.
Behind Elder Xiong was a large group of his former companions. Everyone was looking at him with joy. His return made everyone very happy.
There was Flood Dragon Hei Yun, Daoist Si Nan, and Vagrant Liu Che. They were all companions who had fought side by side.
Some people even secretly gave him a thumbs up. This made him feel very touched.
Although You Xing had heard this sentence before, he couldn't help it this time. His eyes turned red and tears flowed down directly from his eyes.
Those were tears that were understood by everyone. His hard work wasn't in vain. He also saw his former companions standing in front of him in perfect condition.
Although some of them were weak, they were all on the same side at that time.
"I'm back." You Xing said in a low voice.
"Welcome back."
"Welcome back."
"Welcome back."
Everyone repeated this sentence, welcoming You Xing's return. It reminded him of the past, and almost made You Xing cry again.
"Oh right, Old Xiong. Gu Zheng asked me to send this back." You Xing asked his mind. Thinking of Gu Zheng, he quickly placed the small pagoda in front of him.
Fu Yun had seen it long ago. But for some reason, she endured it for a long time. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"What is this? You treasured it so much along the way. You even had to hold it in your hands."
"This is good stuff." Old Xiong sighed and grabbed the pagoda.
The pagoda that even protectors had to use red gloves to lift was grabbed by Old Xiong.
Old Xiong's eyes were filled with nostalgia. Looking at the damaged area of the pagoda, she touched it with her hands. Unknowingly, she was immersed in her memories.
"This was snatched by a junior called Gu Zheng." You Xing didn't dare to take all the credit. It was Old Xiong who had instructed him to do so.
"From your tone, it seems like you respect this person a lot. Who is he? Is his cultivation really strong?" A loud voice spread out from behind. It was Hei Yun. His true form was a flood dragon. Middle Zenith Heavenly Realm, much stronger than You Xing.
However, he was someone who valued comradeship the most. It was said that if he had been the Patriarch's mount for ten thousand years, he would have been released. However, a few of his friends had died in battle, and he would rather die than surrender to the Patriarch. In the end, he was thrown here by the Patriarch in order to erase his character.
"Of course, his cultivation isn't high. He is only at the peak of Jin Xian. But since he came here, many things have happened."
You Xing praised. After Old Xiong summoned his Ji Yi, he purposely asked Old Xiong to listen to everything.
When did he come? What did he do? From the moment he left the mountain, to the moment he got first place in the Mystic Realm, until now, he risked his life to steal the stone tower. He also knew how to get rid of the enemy. Along the way, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering his location, he led the enemy away by himself.
He explained all the details and even mentioned some of his guesses. For example, Hua Long, who had just advanced, probably died in his hands.
Even if You Xing wasn't very eloquent, everyone could imagine how soul-stirring this story was. They didn't believe that he could do such a thing.
It could be said that he had refreshed the concept of the peak of Jin Xian. They were also considered heroes of their generation. They asked themselves if they could walk out of so many dangers if they were in his shoes.
He even dared to go deep into the enemy's rear. Not only did he kill a Zenith Heavenly Realm, he even forcefully advanced to the Zenith Heavenly Realm and fought a veteran Zenith Heavenly Realm in close combat.
"You're exaggerating. He's not afraid of death and dares to do anything." A fellow who was also in the early stage of the Zenith Heavenly Realm said in disbelief, "If that's the case, I won't have a good time in front of him."
"Yes. There's no need to talk about you. If we didn't kill him the moment we discovered him and let him prepare, I probably wouldn't be able to escape death." You Xing recalled the treasures on him. It was really tempting.
"I have a premonition that the next time I see him, he will bring us a huge surprise." Seeing that everyone still didn't believe him, You Xing directly boasted, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
The others wanted to say something but were interrupted by Elder Xiong's voice.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Gu Zheng is indeed not bad. His future will be much brighter than all of you. He might even be able to suppress me." Elder Xiong had already woken up from his memories. He looked at everyone. He had also heard those words and gave Gu Zheng a final answer.
"That can't be. Elder Xiong, you're saying that his future achievements will be greater than yours?" Bo Yun swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief. Greater than Elder Xiong? Wouldn't that mean reaching the Quasi-Sage Realm? That's too terrifying.
Elder Xiong looked at Fu Yun and nodded his head. He thought to himself.
When he first came here, he dared to tease him without any scruples. Although he was in a deep sleep, he wasn't afraid of danger. In the end, he successfully went around him.
He was really daring but careful. Moreover, there was a misty cloud covering him, making it impossible for others to see his future. He was indeed extraordinary.
That matter was too embarrassing. It was a secret in his heart that he couldn't tell anyone.
This made everyone take in a cold breath. They didn't expect Gu Zheng to have such a high evaluation. It seemed like You Xing had underestimated him.
Everyone surrounded You Xing and tried to find out more about Gu Zheng.
A white light flashed in Elder Xiong's hand and the gap in the stone tower was temporarily blocked by him.
"Alright, you guys always say that you can't recover the Immortal Qi in your body. Now that you have this stone tower, you don't have to worry about competing with the juniors for the limited amount of Spiritual Energy." Elder Xiong interrupted everyone's discussion.
Elder Xiong threw the tower up. The stone tower quickly grew bigger and fell from the sky, landing in the middle.
The people below ran out. The ground shook and the stone tower returned to its original state. The base of the tower sank into the platform.
You Xing stood at the side and looked at Elder Xiong in surprise. He didn't tell him how to do it, so how did Elder Xiong know how to control it?
Moreover, he seemed to be very familiar with it, as if it was his own.
Could it be that You Xing remembered that he accidentally saw the sadness in Elder Xiong's eyes? At that time, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Now that he thought about it, it might really be his, but it was taken away by the old ancestor.
No wonder the old ancestor didn't care about this thing. It turned out that he couldn't grasp the essence of this stone tower and threw it there as an arena.
As the stone tower's door opened again, an indescribable freshness came from inside, making everyone feel refreshed.
Seeing this, You Xing was even more certain of his thoughts. He had never seen such a scene before. Even when the protector opened it for the first time, it didn't have such an aura.
"Everyone, go in. I have already adjusted the space inside. Those above Grand Heavenly Realm can go to the top level. Those below Grand Heavenly Realm can go to the middle level. The first level has already been destroyed," Elder Xiong warned everyone.
Isn't there six levels? Why are there only three? You Xing followed Elder Xiong's words. Although the height didn't change, there were only three levels inside. This confirmed his thoughts.
"However, everyone can only stay inside for two months. By then, no matter what you do, you will be ejected." Elder Xiong rubbed his head. His eyes revealed a trace of fatigue.
For nearly ten thousand years, he had been thinking about various problems. Now, he could finally relax.
Seeing everyone enter the tower in an orderly manner, the area was soon empty. Basically, everyone had gone in.
"Why aren't you going in?" Elder Xiong saw that You Xing was still outside and asked in confusion.
"I don't need to go in. I have already adapted to this place," You Xing shook his head and pretended not to care.
Actually, he couldn't tell others about the bitterness in his heart.
"Sigh, it has been hard on you." Elder Xiong actually bowed to You Xing again.
She knew that if there was a glimmer of hope for them to break out of this place, there was no hope for him.
She was representing everyone to thank You Xing for his sacrifice. It represented the gratitude of those people who would break out of this place in the future. They might not have the chance to thank her.
Although You Xing knew this, he was still overwhelmed by the favor. He quickly moved aside and said to Elder Xiong, "I am willing.
Back then, so many of my companions wanted to fight for everyone. I was just lucky to be chosen by you. This is the greatest honor of my life. "
You Xing said resolutely. His face shone with a holy light. These were his truest thoughts.
"I have already put life and death aside. As long as everyone can safely escape from here, I will die without regrets."
Elder Xiong did not say anything else. Instead, he leisurely shifted his gaze elsewhere. He felt gratified by Xiao Chen's determination and sad for his companions who had already sacrificed themselves.
Wasn't he doing this for everyone? He was also doing it for himself. He had bitterly persevered until now for everyone's common goal.
Elder Xiong's eyes widened. He could not help but think of the past.
One day, ten thousand years ago …
"Is the information reliable?" Elder Xiong asked in a low voice. He had already solemnly set up a barrier in a deserted place.
"It is very reliable. Someone in the Asura Clan owes me a favor. He secretly used this opportunity to tell me." A normal-sized sparrow stood on Elder Xiong's shoulder.
"Then we need to think of a good plan. Otherwise, we will really not be able to escape this time. According to the memories of the last person, his strength has already reached the heavens. He has not seen a newcomer for thousands of years." After Elder Xiong confirmed the authenticity of the information, his face was filled with unease.
