Gu Xuan and the Vermilion Bird Princess chatted for half an hour in the courtyard.
When the two of them were about to leave Ying Tian Sect to meet that so-called "old acquaintance", the Elder of Imparting Arts hurried over and gave Gu Xuan a simple report.
After Gu Xuan finished listening, he gave some simple instructions. Then, he flew out of Ying Tian Sect with the Vermilion Bird Princess. They turned into two beams of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Gu Xuan was very curious about the 'old acquaintance' that the Vermilion Bird Princess mentioned.
He asked a total of three times, but the Vermilion Bird Princess kept him in suspense and didn't answer directly.
However, when the two of them approached the Di Zang Mountain Range, Gu Xuan realized who the Vermilion Bird Princess wanted to bring him to see.
In the Ksitigarbha Mountain Range, there was an entrance to the Sky Burial Deathland.
An entrance like this would naturally be guarded.
And the martial artist guarding this place was the Ksitigarbha Emissary!
Gu Xuan and Ksitigarbha Emissary could be considered friends.
Back then, Gu Xuan had asked the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for help to move the entrance to the Sky Burial Deathland to the Cloud Cauldron Mountain, where the Elf Emperor was, in order to deal with the Dao Sect's Sect Master.
After that, Gu Xuan used his identity as the master of the Sky Burial Dead Ground to extend the space of the Sky Burial Dead Ground to the Burning Sky Realm, increasing his strength.
After a great battle, they finally defeated the Dao Sect.
Of course, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was not helping Gu Xuan for free.
He had made an agreement with Gu Xuan. When the time came, he would borrow Gu Xuan's Book of Life and Death to activate a world.
That would consume 80-90% of the life energy in the Life and Death Book. The price could be said to be great.
Actually, Gu Xuan had long made preparations to help Ksitigarbha Emissary.
But over the years, it was as if Ksitigarbha Emissary had disappeared. He hadn't come looking for Gu Xuan. Clearly, the time had not yet come for Ksitigarbha Emissary to activate that world.
Otherwise, Gu Xuan did not believe that the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could endure for so long.
Very quickly, Gu Xuan and the Vermilion Bird Princess landed on the most majestic peak in the Di Zang Mountain Range.
This mountain peak was surrounded by white clouds, and the spiritual energy was very abundant. It was obviously an excellent place to cultivate and live in seclusion.
However, there were no traces left behind by cultivators who had lived and cultivated here.
"Brother Ksitigarbha Emissary, the Vermilion Bird Princess and I have come to see you."
Gu Xuan's voice was like thunder as it reverberated across the mountain peak.
Such a loud voice, even at the foot of the mountain, should be heard clearly.
Unfortunately, he did not receive any response.
Gu Xuan frowned and released his Soul Power to check the surroundings.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything.
"Eh? Strange, could it be that Brother Ksitigarbha Emissary isn't here? "
Gu Xuan looked at the Vermilion Bird Princess in confusion.
The Vermilion Bird Princess shook her head and smiled confidently.
"As the guardian of this place, where can he go?
There's something wrong with the way you call him.
That's how you should call it! "
The Vermilion Bird Princess personally demonstrated for Gu Xuan. With a wave of her right hand, a Vermilion Bird wing appeared behind her. It was at least ten feet long and could be considered a giant wing.
In the next moment, the giant wings slapped down hard on the mountain peak.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, heaven and earth shook.
The entire Ksitigarbha Mountain Range produced a huge commotion, as if it would collapse at any time.
Gravel rolled down from the various mountain peaks, stirring up endless dust. The momentum was very frightening.
Gu Xuan's body shook violently with the violent shaking of the mountain peak.
The corner of his mouth twitched a few times.
The Princess was indeed the Princess. Even if the Ksitigarbha Emissary wanted to hide from them, he would not dare to do so now.
If he continued to hide, the entire mountain range might collapse.
"Your Highness, we are honored by your presence. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
A black shadow emerged from the foot of the mountain like a black waterfall. In a flash, it flew to the top of the mountain and landed in front of Gu Xuan and the Princess.
"Why, not hiding anymore?"
The Vermilion Bird Princess sized up the Ksitigarbha Emissary and teased.
The Ksitigarbha Emissary smiled embarrassedly.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? I can't wait for you to come here. Why would I hide?
I'm actually … actually … hiding from him!
Yes, hiding from Gu Xuan.
When this kid calls me 'brother', I tremble all over. I only feel a headache and fever, and my waist and back ache. It can't be a good thing.
May I ask, why wouldn't I hide? "
The Ksitigarbha Emissary pointed at Gu Xuan and said righteously.
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
He was afraid of the Princess Vermilion Bird. She just had to frame him. What a weirdo!
"Haha, so that's how it is.
Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan, look at you. You're really detestable.
You should learn more about how to conduct yourself from this princess. Look, this princess is very popular. "
The Princess Vermilion Bird looked proud.
Gu Xuan's entire face twitched a few times.
"May I ask why Your Highness is here?
You should know that with my current identity, it's not convenient for me to take action.
I'm afraid I can't intervene in the Burning Sky Realm's calamity.
It's not that I don't want to be tainted by karma, but if I take action, I might attract bad karma for the Burning Sky Realm. The gains don't make up for the losses. "
The Ksitigarbha Emissary's eyes turned. He decided to take the initiative and block the Princess Vermilion Bird's thoughts of asking him to help deal with the calamity.
Gu Xuan curled his lips.
This guy, could it be that he knew Senior Old Sycamore? Once he asked for help, his excuses were so reasonable.
No, this guy was even more shameless. He had not even asked for help yet, and he was already finding excuses for himself.
"I'm here to confirm something, not to ask for your help.
If your answer satisfies me, I might be able to help you if you need help in the future! "
The Princess Vermilion Bird put her hands behind her back, looking unfathomable.
Gu Xuan frowned slightly.
"Huh? Even I guessed wrong?
You're not asking for help, but just confirming something?
That's strange. What does Your Highness want to confirm that you have to come in person? "
Gu Xuan's mind spun, but no matter how he thought, he could not guess what the Princess Vermilion Bird was thinking.
The Ksitigarbha Emissary breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was also curious.
"I wonder what Your Highness wants to confirm?"
The Princess Vermilion Bird stared at the Ksitigarbha Emissary with a sharp gaze that pierced through his heart.
After a long time, she asked word by word.
"I want to confirm if you are … the Sky Burier?"
The Ksitigarbha Emissary felt his heart skip a beat.
However, there was not the slightest hint of nervousness on his face. Instead, there was a puzzled look.
"Sky Burier? What's that?
I don't even know what it means. How can I be the 'Sky Burier'? "
The Princess Vermilion Bird smiled slightly and did not say anything. However, her gaze was still sharp and did not move away from the Ksitigarbha Emissary.
Gu Xuan had already fallen into deep thought, sorting out the memories in his mind.
Whether it was the memories from the Sky Burier or the memories from the Eastern Wall Alchemy Saint, there were some records about the Sky Burier.
The so-called "Sky Burier", as the name suggested, could be seen as a person who collected the body of the Heavenly Path after the Heavenly Path fell and buried it.
Of course, the Sky Burier also had other duties.
One of the duties was to monitor the Heavenly Path's every move.
Once the Heavenly Path's behavior was too excessive and violated the rules set by the Heavenly Path Alliance, they could report it to the Alliance.
It was even to the extent that some powerful Heaven Burier could act first and report later.
Of course, in the world dominated by the Heavenly Path, the Sky Burier did not have the ability to kill the Heavenly Path.
However, they had the means to seal the Heavenly Path!
Not being able to kill it did not mean that it could not be sealed.
Gu Xuan had a deep understanding of this point.
The Blood Ancestor also had an immortal and indestructible body. He could not be killed, but he could be sealed.
Once an immortal and indestructible person was sealed, it was completely imaginable how painful it would be.
Therefore, in many worlds, the Sky Burier was a very awkward and dangerous existence.
The Heavenly Path would not allow such a dangerous existence to exist in its own world.
Of course, he could not personally make a move and kill it.
However, as long as there was even the slightest hint, there would be countless people willing to make a move for him.
In fact, in the Three Thousand Worlds, there were even assassins who specialized in hunting down the Sky Burier.
Therefore, almost all the Sky Burier concealed their identities and lived with their tails between their legs.
They had the power to supervise the Heavenly Path and even the means to seal the Heavenly Path. They should have been extremely awe-inspiring and worshiped by tens of thousands of people, but they could not reveal the slightest bit to outsiders. One could completely imagine how tormented their hearts were.
"It's good that you're not."
The Vermillion Bird Princess seemed to be relieved.
"You and I have finally met a few times and have a little bit of friendship. I was really afraid that the next time I came here, I wouldn't be able to see you.
Since you're not, I'm relieved.
We'll meet again someday. Gu Xuan, let's go! "
