Chapter 118: A strong wind rises, and Chen Mu firmly holds his waist with just one palm...

“Crash—”

The sound of gurgling water was heard, and Gu Congxing opened his eyes and found himself in a spiritual spring in a cave, with mist and faint fragrance.

When did I fall asleep?

"From the stars."

A soft call came, and Gu Congxing glanced at Chen Mu beside him.

Master?

Oh right, I'd been practicing dual cultivation with him for a whole day, unable to get off that ice bed. He'd left me covered in traces of eroticism, and I still had to concentrate my spiritual energy to blend with him...

In the shaking vision, the bright moon appeared high in the sky outside the Xuanbing Palace without anyone noticing, but before Gu Congxing lost consciousness, the sun had already risen slowly.

Is it really that long? Even for a monk, it's too long...

Gu Congxing's face flushed again when he thought of the chaotic scene, but at this moment, a cold hand touched his cheek.

"From the stars?"

Chen Mu moved closer to him, her long silver hair floating on the water like a falling white lotus.

"But what's wrong?"

Gu Congxing looked at him with concern and shook his head, saying, "No, disciple is fine..."

In order to prove his words, Gu Congxing moved the spiritual springs around his body, but as soon as he moved, he found that his whole body was sore, especially his waist, and he could hardly stand up straight!

He gritted his teeth and was about to take a few steps to change his stance, but he was shocked to find that another wave of heat was flowing into the spiritual spring from the inside out.

That, that is——!

Gu Congxing's face suddenly turned red, and he immediately put his hands into the water, reaching directly towards the round arc that merged into the spring water!

He was so focused on getting the thing out that he was caught by both wrists.

"From the stars, no."

"Master?"

Chen Mu's expression remained calm, and his tone was serious and solemn: "My Yuan Yang will help you temper your soul and body, so let it stay where it is."

Yuanyang... Is this Master's first time?

No, that's not right. Even if it's beneficial, what if it continues like this?!

"Even if it's good for me, I can't keep doing this forever."

Gu Congxing bit her lower lip lightly, her moist black eyes glanced to the side, her eyelashes trembled, making the red in the corners of her eyes look even more charming.

Shen Mu's eyes moved, and he said, "In that case, I will help you absorb and refine it."

"What?"

Gu Congxing didn't understand what he meant, and before he could react, he was firmly grasped by him!

"Master?!"

Shen Mu's hands, often used to hold swords, had broad palms, long fingers, and distinct joints. With just one palm, he firmly grasped Gu Congxing's slender waist.

Gu Congxing was imprisoned by him and couldn't break free at all. He just saw his spiritual power moving slightly, and silver spiritual light surrounded the water.

“Swish——”

The cool and crisp wind dispelled the thick water vapor, and light white ice crystals slowly condensed in the cave.

The spiritual light above Shen Mu's hands moved slightly, and gradually sank into the water.

There were tiny ripples on the water's surface, and the slender knuckles were completely submerged.

Gu Congxing's whole body trembled violently, and he immediately took a step forward and crashed into that broad embrace.

Shen Mu held him in one hand and rubbed his earlobe soothingly.

"Cong Xing, relax. Don't be afraid."

The spiritual power array stretched out on the water surface, and the ice-blue light reflected on the water waves, which was like a dream.

Gu Congxing also gradually recovered from the initial discomfort. The spiritual power in his meridians rose and fell with his movements, swirling around, and circulated in his body for several cycles.

The pure spiritual energy that was extremely strong and masculine, without a trace of impurities, seeped into his spiritual veins. Not only that, even his physical body gradually felt the difference.

Actually, I really absorbed it...

Gu Congxing's expression of surprise was beyond words, and then a big hand rubbed his cheek lovingly, supporting his chin and making him look up.

His eyes immediately fell on the icy blue, which was vast and boundless.

Gu Congxing actually saw the vast and free sky in his eyes.

"From the stars."

Chen Mu pushed his wet hair behind his ears and bent down to kiss him between his eyebrows.

"You will stand at the pinnacle of the Great Dao. The Way of Heaven is boundless, and the path to immortality is limitless."

"And I will always be by your side."

***

Three days later, Gu Congxing returned to his residence from Xuanbing Palace and felt a sense of strangeness.

The past few days have been like a fantasy. Whether it was a dream or a yellow millet dream, it seemed more real than these days.

Only the powerful and pure spiritual power in the spiritual veins reminded him that everything had actually happened.

If they weren't afraid that he couldn't bear it, this dual cultivation would probably continue for several more days.

"call……"

Gu Congxing sat in front of the table, took a long breath, closed his eyes slightly, and his Yuandan was spinning.

Pure golden spiritual energy gathered and flowed around him like a golden hurricane, causing his black hair and clothes to fly.

The bright light became brighter and brighter, and the spiritual energy moved faster and faster, to the point that even the objects in the bamboo house began to tremble!

“Swish!”

Gu Congxing suddenly raised his eyes, and the spiritual power in his body swept around like a gust of wind, and actually overturned the heavy bookshelf!

But when he glanced around, the pine bookshelf and dozens of ancient books that should have collapsed to the ground floated in the air again and returned to their original places in a moment.

Gu Cong took another long breath, and the spiritual power in his body gradually calmed down.

"Sure enough, he has already reached the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Realm..."

Gu Congxing raised his right hand and clenched it lightly, but he still felt like he was in a dream.

There are countless cultivators in the world who, in order to achieve the slightest progress in their cultivation, practice hard to practice martial arts, bravely explore secret realms, and even kill people to steal treasures, all working hard to break through the realm.

Is it unfair that I have cultivated so quickly without any hard work?

Gu Congxing was frowning in thought when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He immediately stood up and opened the door, only to see the visitor standing there as graceful as an orchid and a jade tree. When he nodded and smiled at him, it was as if a gentle breeze was passing by.

"Cong Xing, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your cultivation has improved a lot again."

"Big Brother?"

Gu Congxing welcomed him into the house and asked, "But what's the news?"

Lan Jue seemed to look different today. His clothes seemed more flowing, his white jade crown with dragon pattern was brighter, and even the subtle fragrance of the cold plum blossoms was more distinct.

Gu Congxing blinked at him, and Lan Jue chuckled, "Indeed, there is good news. Congxing, the treasure land of Donglaizhou will be opened in two days. Each sect will have two disciples going there, and you will be one of them from the Qingxuan Sword Sect."

"good!"

Gu Congxing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked again, "Who is the other person?"

Lan Jue tilted his head: "It's far away in the horizon, yet it's right before our eyes."

"So it's you, Senior Brother! That's great!"

Gu Congxing's smile grew wider, and he leaned closer and asked, "Shall we set out with the other cultivators in two days?"

"That's right. I'll pick you up then."

Lan Jue rubbed his head and his eyes suddenly swept towards the two black shadows flashing outside the window.

He raised the corner of his lips silently, inserted one hand into Gu Congxing's hair, causing him to raise his head slightly, and then immediately lowered his head.

"Chiu."

A gentle kiss fell on the lips, Gu Congxing's eyes opened slightly, and a blush appeared on her ears.

"Big Brother..."

Lan Jue did not deepen the kiss. He raised his head with a smile on his face, touched Gu Congxing's head again, and then turned and left.

He took a few steps and just entered the bamboo forest when he saw two cold lights coming from both sides!

"Oh."

He snorted lightly, and pure spiritual power suddenly burst out!

"boom--"

Gu Congxing was about to rush out when he heard the loud bang, but his spiritual energy moved slightly and spread out first, capturing the three forces that he was most familiar with.

The unusual sound near the window frame just now flashed through Gu Congxing's mind, and he already understood.

He simply turned around and went back into the house, his eyes sweeping over the ancient books on the wooden shelves.

He didn't know when he would return from the treasured land of Donglai, where time passed very slowly. He must not slack off in his cultivation. Before leaving, he still had some things to clarify...

His eyes swept across a row of ancient books, finally landing on a generalized volume.

——"Records of the Great Wilderness of Hexu".

The mocking words Xuanyuan Chu said when he was dying that day suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Come to think of it, I was able to find the drum so early thanks to you buying that copy of 'Records of the Great Hexu Wilderness'! If it hadn't sensed the bloodline of the divine beast, I would have had to work much harder!"

Gu Congxing's face turned cold, and he almost subconsciously used his spiritual power to smash it to pieces!

But he clenched his fists again, and veins bulged on his hands.

He took a deep breath and reached out to the book.

The bloodline of mythical beasts, the legend of creation...

Perhaps, the origin of everything lies in this book.

***

Two days later, Gu Congxing had reunited with Lan Jue, and together with other immortal monks, they boarded a spirit boat to the treasure land of Donglai.

He glanced around and found that most of them were familiar faces.

The people from the Yuan family were indeed Yuan Chi and Yuan Che. When they saw Lan Jue and Gu Congxing, they came over and talked about the previous incident in Kuangshan.

During the conversation, Gu Congxing's eyes met Xiao Wangyou's. Surprisingly, the other party did not look away coldly as usual, but instead moved closer to him.

"Gu Congxing, have you reached the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Stage?"

Gu Congxing grinned: "Not bad."

Yao Qi also approached at this moment, laughing heartily, "Your progress is a bit too fast. I've felt that before... but you really are a genius in cultivation! Damn, I'm so envious!"

As he said this, he stretched out his long arm to rub Gu Congxing's head, but was stopped by Lan Jue calmly.

"Friend Lan, you seem to be more protective of your junior brother than before."

Jiang Li's voice sounded behind him. She was wearing a peach dress and smiling.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang." Gu Congxing nodded to her with a smile. Jiang Li's eyes turned slightly, revealing a hint of moisture.

"Fellow Daoist Gu... I'm glad you're safe now. Seven years ago, I was also behind the Tianqi Gate and saw that very scene..."

As she spoke softly, she saw Gu Congxing's eyes slightly open, as if he was surprised, and as if he was apologetic. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally said softly:

"I'm sorry to have made you worry."

"Hey! Don't be so formal!" Yao Qi folded his arms and laughed a few times, "After that, we'll go beat that old Xuanyuan bastard to a pulp! To avenge what happened that day!"

"Hmph, you." Xiao Wangyou snorted, which immediately caused Yao Qi to hit him on the back in dissatisfaction.

"Tsk! I'm much more powerful than you, a pretty boy! Come and fight me if you don't agree!"

He had just thrown a random punch, but unexpectedly Xiao Wangyou was distracted and was knocked back by him. Just as he was about to look up, he bumped into the mast of the spirit boat!

Yao Qi's expression suddenly froze, but Yuan Chi burst into laughter at this moment!

“Hahahahahahahahaha!”

Jiang Li also pursed her lips, but when she saw Xiao Wangyou turned around with a gloomy face and the big bump on his head, she still burst out laughing!

"Yao Qi, come here!"

"Ouch! Brother Xiao, spare my life——"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The cheerful laughter rang out, drifting in the sea of ​​clouds and spreading far and wide.

No one noticed that a small silver butterfly was flapping its wings desperately, but it still couldn't catch up with the spirit boat. As the boat's pole turned, the hurricane force wind rose slightly, and it was swept into the strong wind and disappeared...
