Chapter 147: Long Aotian in the Ancient Wilderness (End)
"Well done, my child."
The leader praised, his smiling eyes lightly falling on Luo Nan who lowered his head.
It’s not time yet…
Luo Nan thought calmly, at least for now, she had to endure it a little longer.
She didn't look at the face that looked like it was sleeping peacefully. She tiptoed out silently and lightly.
This body is real, otherwise she would not be able to deceive this old immortal who is sensitive to breath, so she must be faster.
And the essential calmness.
At this moment, all the insignificant emotions flew away from her body like a few balls of cotton. Luo Nan thought her heart would beat very fast, but in fact, her heartbeat was very stable, just like every day before. In this unscientific world, any mistake would become her flaw.
"Sir, you want to enter the Holy Spirit Palace"
"Yes, here is the proof."
Luo Nan heard his own voice saying lightly that only the disciples guarding the door of the warehouse called Holy Spirit Palace would never become puppets, because the artifacts that had experienced that war hated these things, hated these disgusting bug-like things.
With her usual gentle smile, she stepped into the gate of the palace that had been sealed for years. The leader would not care about her unusual behavior at this moment, because he believed that he had already achieved the final result. The evil but powerful people always like to see the ugly appearance of ants struggling to survive.
Luo Nan was delighted about this.
It doesn't matter, because they haven't lost yet, so the enemy's arrogance is exactly what they want to see.
She knew that what she was looking for must be here, because some people feel that they will no longer need these things, and things that are not needed and are not in their control should be discarded.
Her footsteps finally stopped at a dark room without any light. There was a guard at the door of the Holy Spirit Palace, but there was no protective formation inside, because the things placed here were the greatest deterrent.
Even the best thief cannot steal a magical weapon, and the most arrogant artifact will only be allowed to be picked up by those who recognize it.
She walked into the room. The darkness could not obscure her vision, not to mention that the things placed here were extremely shiny.
The sharpest sword has no scabbard, because no scabbard can hold it.
These four swords, shining with cold light, were placed on the rack with their tips pointing downwards. They all looked ordinary, and the same style could be seen in any blacksmith shop, but they were indeed the strongest swords.
Luo Nan walked forward and directly grasped the hilt of the second-to-last sword from the right. Her hands were slender and smooth, without a single callus. This was not the hand of a swordsman, and Luo Nan had never had a good relationship with swords.
In her vague memory, she was hit on the hand many times by a little boy with a whisk in his hand, but it didn't hurt at all.
But it doesn’t matter. What’s wrong with not being a swordsman? No one stipulates that anyone who uses a sword must be a swordsman.
Suddenly, a red light flashed across Zhanzhan's sword. The sword body trembled slightly at first, and then the red light became brighter and brighter, and the trembling became more and more violent, with even the frame being shaken to the ground.
Cold——
She finally took it out. The name of this sword was Xianxian.
Luo Nan looked at the sword that turned red as soon as it was taken out, and left without hesitation.
"Hmm... That's a big deal..."
The white-haired man looked at the dozen or so people in front of him with great interest. "To be honest, this is a bit beyond my expectations. There are more people than I expected."
"I really want to know, with such a huge gap in strength, why do you still want to die? What are you thinking?" He was really confused.
"Hmph," the Qinghuang, who had taken off his gorgeous robes and looked like an elegant scholar, sneered, "Because a fellow like you wouldn't understand. You'd better feel the fear of death. My anger! Our anger!
With unparalleled murderous intent, Qing Huang punched out.
The leader casually tilted his head, dodging the attack at an extremely tricky angle. He didn't fight back, but simply said, "You can't attack me, because I saw it the moment you attacked."
"Your fate is already determined. The only variable that could kill me is dead. What are you waiting for?"
The leader nonchalantly blocked Wen Lao's sword and crushed the thorns that emerged from the ground. "The sword I gave to my most beloved child is a sword that can kill the soul. The hope you longed for is, unfortunately, dead."
Behind him, a strong heartbeat could be heard from inside the cocoon wrapped in thick threads, one after another, from weak to strong, getting stronger little by little.
The sound of butterfly wings flapping was drowned out by the roar of battle.
A hooded female voice drifted out, "For practitioners like us who practice divination, the moment you believe in a prophecy, it becomes true. I wonder if the Master agrees with my humble opinion."
Her voice was filled with smile. She was the master of Jie Xinyan and Aruo.
The person who knows you best is indeed your enemy who has been fighting against you for years. Even if you think you have never put yourself in the position of your enemy, your enemy always knows you.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, the relaxed expression of the Xiantian Sect leader changed.
He was gloomy for only a moment before that unfathomable smile appeared on his lips again, and he said sarcastically, "You'd better wait until you survive under my hands before you say that."
Overwhelming murderous intent poured out, and the dazzling attacks almost blinded people.
This unprecedented war was so fierce that even the heaven and earth would be shattered. Those who took part in it were among the strongest men in the world. The wind and clouds changed color, and all things howled. Just a trace of their remaining power could cause mountains to collapse, the earth to split, the sea to dry up, and the rocks to rot. It was a doomsday scene.
Logically speaking, with so many powerful people attacking together, there should be no chance of success. However, the one who was seriously injured was not the leader of the Xiantian Sect, but the besiegers. Several of them were on the verge of death and had to withdraw from the battlefield.
The most serious injury the Xiantian Sect leader had ever suffered was just a slight scratch on the side of his face. With his ability, he would have recovered in no time.
Someone trembled and asked with broken teeth: "How can he be so strong? Is this guy still human?"
"I've told you before, this is a monster." The hooded woman, whose shoulder was slashed, spoke lazily, "After all, he's the previous child of destiny, so it's understandable how powerful he is."
Everyone else who heard the news for the first time was shocked.
The leader raised his lip and said, "You are indeed the most gifted stargazer in a thousand years."
"Thank you for the compliment." The hooded woman replied very naturally, as if they were not enemies in close combat, but old friends meeting again and having a good chat.
"How does it feel to be abandoned by the heavens? But I don't think you have any special emotions. After all, you were the first to abandon this world, so it's normal for the world to turn around and cultivate a new heir."
She said with malicious mockery, "So you have to carry out this plan now, because you have lost your luck, and those without luck cannot play the game of luck."
The leader's smile faded.
"He is indeed the successor that my dear junior brother had chosen thousands of years ago. His eloquence is indeed formidable, but he failed because the winner will be me."
"Really?" Through the black hood, the people present could still see clearly. She smiled and said it again, "Really?"
"Yeah"
Luo Nan was breathing slightly, but her eyes were bright. She raised the sword in her hand.
The leader of the Xiantian Sect recognized the sword, a red-lacquered sword. He raised an eyebrow and said, "The Four Swords of Zhuxian, a good idea. It can indeed hurt me, but..."
"Can you do it? Set up a complete Zhuxian Sword Formation." He laughed and answered for them, "No, you can't."
"Yes, we can't." Luo Nan also smiled, his smile was soft and gentle, "But it doesn't matter. Our purpose was not to use it to kill you. I only brought a sword."
She threw out the crimson sword, and a bright red light shone.
The four Zhu Xian swords are combined together to form a Zhu Xian sword formation, but each sword itself is also engraved with a formation.
Xianxian, as the name suggests, its sword formation is not so murderous, but it is full of traps. It is the best formation to delay time. Of course, if you die while trapped, don't blame it. You should blame yourself for being too weak.
"Finally, there are my eyes. In this kind of sword formation, facing this kind of enemy, it's impossible to see clearly without a pair of good eyes. Master, is that right?"
Now, everyone on our side has such a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that can see through the fog of the formation, see the enemy's weaknesses, and slow down time.
The sword light cut off a strand of hair from the Xiantian Sect leader's cheek. He sighed, "It's a good way to prolong time. They are indeed a pair of eyes that even I desire. If it weren't for... I would really like to collect such a pair of powerful and beautiful eyes."
He confronted Qing Huang with a palm: "But I don't understand, what's the point of you delaying time like this, he's already dead, isn't he?"
He used his other hand to block a small bone knife, but the force that cut through the void still cut his palm, and drops of blood fell.
The sneak attack failed, and Luo Nan retreated back into the formation. She whispered, "I hate you saying he's dead. Someone else deserved to die."
"I agree with my sister. Aren't you the one who deserves to die?"
The leader of the Xiantian Sect took the hand for a moment and quickly recognized that these were not any hands he had encountered before. His expression changed, and the gray fog in front of him dissipated, and a very strange person stood in front of him and confronted him.
The leader was slightly startled. "...Is it because of a special fate that caused the soul to avoid my observation? It actually gave up its own body. I have to say..."
“Very courageous.”
He blasted out a vast divine light, his smile hidden in his eyes: "But now that you've lost your most important body, what can you do with this ordinary body?"
Gu Jingyao replied calmly, "It's just a corpse. True power is never stored in the body, but in the soul."
With a cry, the shadows of the Golden Crow and the Peacock appeared together, attacking from the front and back!
"I now feel that it's a bit unfair to be one against many."
The leader of the Xiantian Sect said this.
The strange frequency became more obvious, so obvious that everyone could hear it, like the ripples used by some insects to communicate.
Qing Huang looked around, his pupils shrinking: "Not good, he is going to summon the puppets of the entire area."
If he really succeeds, they will be the ones to be exhausted to death!
Luo Nan, no, Gu Lingnan said calmly in her mind: "System, I want to unlock some of my memories."
"Ding, some stored memories have been returned, please use with caution."
Gu Lingnan put his lips to the flute, blew lightly, and the first sound came out.
Woo——
Outside the endless void, a bright golden butterfly flapped its wings and flew up from someone's fingertips. In the darkness, a pair of light-colored pupils turned.
This butterfly seemed to be able to travel through time and space. Its vague silhouette only appeared for a moment, just like a flash of snow on an old TV, and the puppets controlled by the poisonous insects around it stopped moving.
The scale powder that no one could see was sprinkled down, as if the puppet was being suppressed by its bloodline superior. It lay on the ground, trembling, unable to move.
The leader of the Xiantian Sect was completely surprised: "How did you do it, King Bug? How could such a thing appear in this world?"
"Your opponent is me, don't be distracted, Master."
Gu Jingyao's wings transformed into wings, striking the sky. A rune of power lit up, and then a purple rune appeared between his eyebrows. His aura gathered again: "Nine Transformations of the Immortal King, the seventh transformation, reversing the universe."
The leader of the Xiantian Sect retreated instantly, but he was facing more than just Gu Jingyao. Behind him, countless entangled dragons were roaring and rushing towards him.
His expression was no longer as relaxed as before due to the traffic jam. He slowly opened his mouth, but no one wanted to listen to his nonsense.
Snap——
The knife sliced through clothing, cut through skin, and entered the enemy's body. Gu Lingnan even coldly turned the knife around. This was the knife that attacked Gu Jingyao before. Now, it seemed that it would be more suitable for her to stab this old immortal in the back.
But when Gu Lingnan looked up, she was shocked because the leader of the Xiantian Sect was smiling.
This was a very vengeful attack method. Even though his heart was shattered into pieces, he still praised nonchalantly, "Yes, I've used this body for many years. Dying here is a worthy death."
After all, apart from Gu Lingnan and the others, the remaining combat forces were only Qing Huang, Wen Lao and the hooded woman, and the three of them were seriously injured.
"As expected... your attitude towards your body is like your attitude towards a piece of clothing. We tried our best, but we only tore off a piece of your clothing." The hooded woman commented calmly.
"Don't make that expression. Tearing off a piece of my clothing is a feat you can call glorious."
The body of the leader of the Xiantian Sect was shattered into pieces by a gust of wind.
And inside the white cocoon, the sound of the heartbeat became stronger and stronger.
Old Wen looked at the ominous white egg and swung a dazzling sword light with the figure of an adult, which only left a faint mark on the egg.
"It's useless," the hooded woman said. "Once this cocoon is formed, all external attacks are merely nutrients that help it break free from its shell."
A slight tearing sound was heard, and the white cocoon peeled off layer by layer. The first thing that appeared was a hand, a hand that was full of wild power at first glance, full of vitality and beauty. Then, a toned and beautiful hand...
Then, Gu Lingnan’s vision darkened.
Someone covered her eyes, the only person who could do that without triggering her defensive instincts.
Gu Lingnan endured: "Gu Jingyao, what are you doing?"
After being called by her full name, Gu Jingyao was silent for a moment before she said seriously, "Don't look at it, sister, or you'll get stye."
Gu Lingnan: ...
She ordered coldly, "Put it down."
Only then did Gu Jingyao lower his hands in disappointment.
Gu Lingnan regained her vision and looked over. The other person had already put on his clothes and no longer looked so indecent. She hated his face because Gu Jingyao would never smile in such a disgusting and ugly way.
Gu Jingyao's clear voice rang out, his chin slightly raised like a child showing off new clothes. "How's it going? This body is pretty good, isn't it? Sure enough, only a body that can withstand this kind of power can let me loosen my fists and kicks a little."
His bones crackled as he stood in the air with an expression of arrogance and disdain.
He stretched out his hand and pushed gently, and the air exploded like thunder.
"Oh my god, your body is so strong!" After Qing Huang received a palm strike from the enemy who had undergone a complete transformation, he felt numb all over and suffered internal injuries.
Gu Jingyao shrugged: "After all, it's a body that died once and was rebuilt. It's normal for it to be a little stronger."
"You can actually say that. Hey, that guy is becoming more and more familiar. When he is completely familiar with the power..." That will be our death.
At first, the movements were a bit sluggish, but soon, each move became connected smoothly, and "Gu Jingyao" accepted everything about this body bit by bit.
The heaven and earth trembled even more violently, and most of the outlines of the two suns overlapped. There was a terrifying and desperate aura condensed but not released.
But soon, the world became dark again.
One star after another lit up, and in the center of the starry sky, the god of light opened his eyes, and the sun and the moon came.
Gu Jingyao smiled slightly and said slowly, "Junior Sister, you wouldn't think that I would fall for the same move a second time. I have their memories, so I naturally know the weakness of this move."
Gu Lingnan's voice came from the stars: "Oh, what a shame. I don't like using the same trick twice."
"Gu Jingyao"'s expression changed slightly, and several cracks slowly appeared on his most perfect body, and one crisscrossing scar after another emerged.
Zhulong is also the god of time.
She was rewinding time on him, intending to return to the moment when this body was shattered.
"This is so cruel, my junior sister. This is your own brother's body. Once it is destroyed, it will be gone forever." "Gu Jingyao" grinned.
Gu Lingnan and Gu Jingyao spoke at the same time.
"Unfortunately, I don't have a brother."
"That's okay. I don't mind."
The next moment, an even more violent attack fell on Gu Jingyao's body in order to distract his attention and interrupt his process of releasing his magical powers.
"It's like a dog chasing me and biting me. It's very annoying."
Gu Jingyao's face was cold, and his chest was brightly lit. A brilliant white light emanated from above. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he reached his hand into the white light. Surprisingly...
Gu Jingyao's voice was soft: "You want to use my bone? Unfortunately, I broke it again."
"You should have noticed that this arrangement was very crude, but time was too short, so you didn't have time to investigate carefully. Am I right?"
Gu Jingyao was puzzled: "That's a bone engraved with the supreme treasure technique. Even ancient saints would covet it. How could you..."
"It's just a piece of bone. In my opinion, no matter how beautiful it is, it's just a piece of bone, isn't it?" Gu Jingyao replied nonchalantly.
"Gu Jingyao" instantly became furious.
What he hated most was the so-called genius who did not cherish the gift from God.
Why, this world always favors those who don't care about these things, but gives those who pursue them hard the pain that they will never get.
He didn't bother to deal with the illusion of time, but started a war with Gu Jingyao directly. No matter how others provoked him, he was wholeheartedly chasing Gu Jingyao.
"If you do this, I'll mistakenly think you have a crush on me."
Gu Jingyao spat out a mouthful of blood, but wiped his mouth nonchalantly, revealing an evil smile.
His body had not been tempered and was too fragile. He had not felt so fragile in a long, long time.
but……
His smile grew wider.
A clear female voice said, "You've already lost." Gu Lingnan walked out and stood side by side with Gu Jingyao.
Gu Jingyao was very surprised. He seemed to be unable to believe it. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "You actually put poison in this body. Aren't you afraid of..." completely damaging this body?
Gu Jingyao seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and kindly answered his question: "Of course I'm not afraid. It's just starting over again. I've already done it once, so what's wrong with practicing again?"
Gu Jingyao pursed his lips and whispered, "Every success is the result of the right time, right place, and right people. Some are perfect, and it will never happen again."
Gu Jingyao replied: "I can pursue new things. I am not afraid of failure, nor will I be trapped in the same things. If I lose something, I will look for it again. If I fail, I will try again. It's very simple."
After a long while, "Gu Jingyao" sighed and said, "In this regard, I am not as good as you."
"You are the first person to experience the Ascension Tribulation in your own flesh. Once you experience the Ascension Tribulation, this body will never be able to ascend to the Great Dao again. I don't have a spare body, so you win."
Force me to absorb Gu Jingyao's body as quickly as possible, force me to destroy my original □□, so that's it.
"But it's not enough to kill me."
"You're right." Gu Jingyao held up a sword and smiled faintly, "This sword killed me many years ago. Now if I use this sword to kill you, we'll be even."
Gu Jingyao's eyes moved: "Zhu Xian, how did you get it?"
"I didn't take it. It came to me on its own initiative. It acknowledges you as an 'Immortal' capable of falling under the tip of its sword."
"Really?" "Gu Jingyao" closed his eyes and calmly accepted the consequences of his failure.
Before the brilliant sword light fell, Gu Jingyao whispered to him, "If I were you, I wouldn't give up. Anyone poisoned like this will forever fall in realm. Even if they never become a cultivator, I won't accept my fate."
"Gu Jingyao's" pupils trembled violently, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell into eternal silence.
Gu Jingyao turned his head and said brightly: "Sister, it's over."
"Well, it's over."
…
"Congratulations to the host for completing all tasks and getting a chance to be reborn."
"Contract completed. All memories are now sealed and sent back to the original coordinate world. System 0167 sincerely wishes the host peace, happiness, and fulfillment of all wishes."
"goodbye."
"File S-048 is sealed."
