Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan's body temperatures were rising rapidly.
Both of them felt each other's passion, their hearts beat faster and faster, and their tongues and hands began to become dishonest.
However, a loud "bang" woke them up.
It was the corpse of the ancient female god that exploded.
Gu Zhi: ...
Ye Qinghan: ...
They seemed to be too selfless.
Everyone has forgotten the corpse of the ancient female god.
Fortunately, it was a corpse, not a living ancient god, otherwise both of them would suspect that she was angered by them.
Ye Qinghan looked at the fragments of the ancient god's body, walked forward, took out a piece of thousand-year-old sacred wood, made a coffin for it, placed the fragments of the body in it, and let it rest in peace.
This ancient fortune teller and she had a connection. They both practiced the mysterious art of fire-attributed martial arts, and that was why she was able to obtain the power of the ancient god.
Because of this, there is raging fire and magma on the right side of Xueyan Peak all year round.
As for the snow falling day and night on the left side of Xueyan Peak, it was because the one who killed the ancient god was a true immortal who practiced the law of ice and frost, and a piece of the tip of the ice and snow sword remained in her body.
After Ye Qinghan obtained the power of the ancient god, the ancient god's corpse exploded, and the tip of the True Immortal's sword also fell out.
It was only the length of a thumb. Although it was made of a special material, a kind of fairy gold, it was quickly corroded and soon became useless.
The reason why both the ancient god's corpse and the tip of the true immortal sword have not decayed until now is because the pendant made of the divine stone of life has resisted the force of corrosion.
But the power in the Stone of Life was refined by Gu Zhi, and the corpse of the ancient god and the tip of the sword of the True Immortal should naturally return to the laws of nature, dust to dust.
"Time is the most cruel."
Gu Zhi held Ye Qinghan's jade hand and sighed softly.
The Life Stone is one of the five Chaos Stones. It is even above the legendary Thirteen Immortal Golds and should contain unparalleled power.
However, the power absorbed by Gu Zhi was obviously less than expected. This was because, over the long years, even the Life Stone had been eroded and lost a lot of power.
"Yes, time is like a knife that cuts down the genius."
Ye Qinghan also sighed softly.
At this time, the earth shook and the mountains began to tremble. After the ancient god's corpse exploded, Xueyan Peak was about to collapse.
Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan flew out of Xueyan Peak, and then took action together to forcibly stabilize Xueyan Peak and prevent it from collapsing.
Although it has lost its spirituality and is no longer a sacred mountain, it holds many beautiful memories for Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan, so they will both keep it alive in the world.
"How about it?"
Canxueyue heard the noise and rushed over to ask.
“The harvest is huge!”
Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan told each other about their gains. After hearing this, Canxueyue was extremely excited and felt happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
"By the way, preparations for the Holy Lord Ceremony are almost complete."
Canxueyue said that she used to be the leader of the Wanxue Demon Sect, but after Gu Zhi took over, the title needed to be changed. The title of leader was not enough to demonstrate Gu Zhi's strength and reputation, so she needed to be called the Holy Lord.
Moreover, the current Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect has surpassed some holy places in southern Xinjiang. Gu Zhi’s strength is enough to beat up a group of saints and emperors. What’s wrong with being called a saint?
"Master, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Zhi saluted Canxueyue. He was like a hands-off boss, and it was Canxueyue who was in charge of his Holy Lord Ceremony.
"What are you talking about?"
Canxueyue waved his hand, and then said:
"There's another big thing. The Qingming Immortal Banquet is about to begin!"
Gu Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise:
"Isn't it held next year?"
The Qingming Fairy Banquet does not have a fixed time.
Because the Qingming Immortal Banquet is an event held by several major sects in Zhongzhou to build momentum for their young geniuses.
Whenever these sects emerge and young geniuses who can amaze the world appear, a Qingming Fairy Banquet will be held.
However, normally, the Qingming Immortal Banquet is held every few years. Because those sects are so powerful and have rich foundations, a group of top geniuses will be born almost every few years.
About a year and a half before the Qingming Fairy Banquet is held, relevant news will be released to warm up and stir up the popularity of the Qingming Fairy Banquet.
About half a year ago, news of the Qingming Fairy Banquet spread in Zhongzhou.
At that time, Gu Zhi was already quite famous, but in Zhongzhou, his record was not very impressive.
Gu Zhi had never thought about attending the Qingming Fairy Banquet, so he never paid much attention to it.
Only half a year had passed, and the Qingming Immortal Banquet was already about to take place? This was unprecedented, almost a year ahead of schedule!
"Everyone is speculating that the advance is because of you!"
Canxueyue said with a smile, looking at Gu Zhi with eyes full of pride and pride:
"Half a year ago, you hadn't yet earned the recognition of those old men in Zhongzhou. They thought you were just a genius from a remote place, nothing special."
"No one expected that you would rise so quickly, soaring directly to the third level of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and even displaying the terrifying strength of a Mythical Prodigy."
"Now many people in Zhongzhou are saying that you are stronger than those legendary geniuses in Zhongzhou!"
"This made the old masters of the Taoist sects who hosted the Qingming Immortal Banquet very angry. They couldn't sit still anymore, so they moved up the time of the Qingming Immortal Banquet!"
"According to reliable sources, those legendary geniuses will all appear at this Qingming Immortal Banquet. This will be like a flex of muscle, a display of mighty power, to stabilize the hearts of the people in Zhongzhou and ensure that the world continues to believe that Zhongzhou is ahead of the four regions of Southern Wilderness, Northern Frontier, Eastern Lake, and Western Desert."
"at the same time……"
Canxueyue paused, the smile on his face began to disappear, and his expression became serious:
"I think this so-called 'reliable information' is actually bait!"
Gu Zhi knew what the residual blood moon meant:
"The so-called 'reliable news' is the result of those sects deliberately fanning the flames. They want to create a perception that those legendary geniuses in Zhongzhou are actually more powerful than me."
"Those old men from those sects thought that I was still young and full of energy. I've been on this journey with no setbacks, and I've never been defeated. I've never been overpowered by any genius."
"After I passed the third level of the tribulation, everyone in the world was praising me. But suddenly, the Qingming Immortal Banquet was held, and the public opinion changed drastically. The fame of those legendary geniuses surpassed mine again. Many people said that I was actually still not as good as those legendary geniuses."
"They think I can't stand it and will go to Zhongzhou to participate in the Qingming Immortal Banquet!"
"Then, they can make a move to keep me in Zhongzhou forever, and let my soul die there."
Canxueyue nodded. This was her guess, but she felt it was very likely.
"Xiao Zhi, what do you think?"
Canxueyue asked, she was actually a little conflicted.
It would be very dangerous for Gu Zhi to attend the Qingming Fairy Banquet now.
But if Gu Zhi did not attend the Qingming Fairy Banquet, he would be criticized for not daring to face those legendary geniuses.
