Chapter 73
After Gu Liangyou entered the formation, his original seven points of vigilance immediately increased to ten points.
Everything seemed to be unchanged, but there was an unsettling, subtle atmosphere in the air. This feeling was imperceptible to most people, but to Gu Liangyou, who had an extremely keen sense of perception, it was as glaring as a drop of ink on white paper.
This feeling of disobedience made him purse his lips, and his temples began to beat uncontrollably.
In the conscious world, the main personality is also asking himself whether he should continue to move forward, because the crisis is obviously imminent.
"Is it possible that I have to face the Boss right after arriving in this world..."
Gu Liangyi was a little worried. All in all, it had been less than a month since they traveled to this world, and they hadn't even had enough time to catch Academician Tang, or to ask a few monks to help do experiments in the wind tunnel.
"Don't worry," Gu Liangyou said, "If we can solve this problem today, then we can easily control the entire Linshen Sect. Didn't you see how humble Zhou Qingzi was just now?"
The importance of the Sect Master to the Linshen Sect is self-evident. In addition, several elders are his senior brothers, so the relationship between them is extraordinary.
So while Gu Liangyou was on guard against possible sudden attacks, he was also secretly reminding himself to be cautious when attacking later so as not to accidentally cause any harm to the sect leader.
"Be careful, Gu Liang. I saw him on the drone's surveillance," Zong Qinyuan's voice came from the headset. Perhaps because the blood seal formation had a certain isolation effect, his voice was still mixed with some noise. "He's about 800 meters to your left, behind the rockery."
At such a close distance, Gu Liangyou had naturally discovered the target object long ago.
Walking around the rockery, he saw an old man sitting in a wooden wheelchair with his back to him, seemingly staring in a daze at the misty green mountains in the distance.
The four words "very old" seemed insufficient to describe his condition. Gu Liangyou frowned, feeling that the sect leader would die in the next second.
The skin all over his body had completely lost its elasticity, his long beard had turned completely dry and pale, and his cloudy eyes hadn't blinked for a long time. He looked very out of place in the lush and vibrant environment.
If his chest had not been still rising and falling slightly, Gu Liangyou would have suspected that he had passed away.
"Sect Master Lin, you asked me to come here, is there anything you want to say?"
Out of respect for his elders, Gu Liangyou chose to address the other party with honorifics.
After hearing his voice, Lin Zhang slowly raised his head, then turned his head and looked in the direction where the black-haired young man was standing.
"Come... here." he said weakly.
Gu Liangyou paused for a moment and took a cautious step forward.
Even at such a close distance, he could clearly feel the abnormality inside Lin Zhang's body, as if there were two hearts beating at the same time - but somehow, his intuition told him that the old man in front of him would not harm him.
It's so contradictory.
Lin Zhang looked at Gu Liangyou's face for a long time, and after that, he swallowed a blood-red pill with trembling hands.
After taking the medicine, Lin Zhang's face became visibly rosy.
He said, "I know you must be wondering about the origin of that portrait."
Gu Liangyou miraculously discovered that when he said this, his pronunciation was unusually clear, and his entire state was completely different from his previous half-dead appearance, but more like a last hurrah.
What kind of medicine is this?
As he thought about it, he nodded: "Yes, can you tell me?"
"Initially, the Linshen Sect was co-founded by two monks," Lin Zhang said, speaking quickly, "One is my ancestor, and the source of the word 'Linshen'; the other is a monk named Gu Liangche."
He looked at Gu Liangyou steadily and said, "Like you, he also claims to be from an alien immortal sect."
Gu Liangyou widened his eyes.
His breathing suddenly became rapid, and he even asked impatiently: "When did this happen? When did that person appear? Did he ascend to heaven, or did he stay in this world?"
Gu Liangyou wanted to step forward again, but was stopped by Lin Zhang:
“Don’t come over here!”
The black-haired young man paused, he raised his head and looked at Lin Zhang with some doubt, but Lin Zhang just clenched his palms and said with a gloomy look: "Then you can't take the medicine for too long. You'd better keep your distance from me now, because..."
Gu Liangyou seemed to sense something, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.
The originally clear blue sky had been covered by dark clouds gathering from all directions at some point. Zhou Qingzi, who was anxiously waiting outside the formation, saw this scene and blurted out:
"It's a thunder tribulation! The sect master's thunder tribulation is coming!"
The second elder raised his voice and said, "No, how could the thunder tribulation come so early? The sect master just came out of seclusion not long ago and is not yet ready..."
In theory, cultivators can control their thunder tribulations to a certain extent, at least that was the case when their master was still cultivating in this world, and so was their master's master. But now the sect master hasn't passed the throne to the great elder, and the sect hasn't held a succession ceremony yet. No matter how you look at it, it's too hasty!
Zong Qinyuan suddenly turned around and asked: "Your leader wants to survive the tribulation? Will that have any impact on the people around him?"
"Of course there are, but who would rush to seek death for no reason?" The second elder answered subconsciously, but he immediately remembered that there was still a Gu Liangyou in the formation, and his face instantly darkened, "Quick, quick, get your disciple out quickly. Even if he can't come out, try to stay away from the sect master, otherwise he will really be struck by lightning!"
"How can you talk like that!" Zhou Qingzi stamped his feet in anxiety, yet he did not forget to glare fiercely at the outspoken Second Elder.
Zong Qinyuan naturally contacted Gu Liangyou as soon as possible, but at this time Gu Liangyou, who was in the formation, was filled with what Lin Zhang had just told him. In addition, the thunder tribulation further interfered with the communication. Only bursts of harsh noise could be heard in the communication channel. After a few seconds, he frowned and took off the headset.
"No, why doesn't Gu Liang run away?"
Yaroslav jumped up and down on the spot, trying every possible way, gesticulating and dancing to give hints to Gu Liangyou in the formation, but their voices were almost hoarse, their hands and feet were stiff, and the figure of the young man in the distance was still standing there motionless.
Zong Qinyuan had no choice. Sweat was seeping out of his clenched palms. He saw that the dark clouds above their heads were already starting to flash with lightning and thunder. The layers of black clouds had an atmosphere of the end of the world. He finally remembered that there was someone who might be able to remind Gu Liangyou to evacuate.
"Yi Yan! What happened?"
Yi Yan, who was lying on the roof and watching the conversation between the two through the scope, also fell into deep silence and shock.
It turns out that Gu Liang's life experience is actually related to Mo Da's time travel! ?
The special operations team had been taught lip reading during their initial training, so even though they couldn't hear the sound clearly, Yi Yan, who was facing Gu Liang, could still roughly understand what Gu Liangyou was saying.
Under the imminent and approaching thunder tribulation, the black-haired young man had a stern expression. He ignored the fact that his hair and the hem of his suit were blown wildly by the fierce wind, and still stubbornly asked the leader of the Lin Shen Sect -
"If you say that the man in the portrait is my father, then tell me, where is he from, and is he human?"
Faced with such a question, Lin Zhang looked at him and sighed.
"He's not human. But you are."
Gu Liangyou: "What do you mean? But you just said he was..."
"The universe is so vast that nothing is impossible." Lin Zhang interrupted him because he didn't have much time left. "What we call ascension in the world of immortal cultivation is breaking through space and ascending to the next higher dimensional world. And your father came from there."
"The world your father lives in does not rely on blood ties to maintain itself. They will select the most promising lives in each lower world, pass various tests, and train them to become higher-level beings. In short, you are still a human being, but you are also a child adopted by him."
Gu Liangyou thought, isn't this what Guangping is doing? He curled his lips sarcastically, "An adopted son who has lived for so many years and has never even seen his father? This is the first time I know of a father like this."
If the mastermind behind the light screen is really his irresponsible cheap father, then he will definitely - beat that bastard to three-quarters death!
"I said before, their world is not maintained by blood relationship, so the family and father-son relationship are naturally different from the conventional types in your world." Lin Zhang said calmly, "But these are not the point."
"The point is, he once came to the world of immortal cultivation and founded the Linshen Sect with my ancestor. Because my ancestor and he were close friends, he left a glimmer of hope for this doomed world."
"And the only ray of hope is you."
After experiencing so many ups and downs, Gu Liangyou is no longer the lonely boy who could only see the small world of the orphanage.
Hearing this, he looked expressionlessly at Lin Zhang, whose face gradually turned pale again, and said in a cold voice: "I have heard this kind of words too many times. I have also said many times that I have never been a savior. What ability do I have to save the world?"
"Don't be too self-deprecating," Lin Zhang smiled lightly, "You should have noticed that the world of immortal cultivation has long been reduced to a breeding ground for poisonous insects. These poisonous insects are not from our world, but unlike you, they are invaders from foreign lands."
"Over the years, all the successive leaders of the Linshen Sect have been willing to become its sacrifices. After all, only a handful of people can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. But if the truth is easily exposed, the poisonous insects that have been monitoring this place in the upper realm will completely break off relations with us, and then all the cultivators will die in the thunder tribulation they bring down."
Gu Liangyou: "I'm not a god. Do you want me to help you resist the thunder tribulation?"
"Of course not," Lin Zhang shook his head, blood seeping from his lips, "but your adoptive father left behind two paintings, one of which is his self-portrait, and the other is a prophecy about the future."
"Please... ahem, for your father's sake, help us one more time..."
With trembling hands, he unfolded the painting in front of Gu Liangyou, whose expression was a little distorted.
It depicts a black-haired young man wearing black-framed glasses - the direction is very obvious. A circle is drawn around his body with a black ink pen, and it is unknown what it represents.
In the upper part of the painting, there are dark clouds that are very similar to the current sky, and a bolt of lightning is striking down from the clouds and landing on the surface of the sphere.
Gu Liangyou:?
What does this mean?
A cheap father suddenly appeared and left him with a bunch of mess and debts of favor. He is simply a scum among scums - oh, sorry, he forgot that the other party's race is most likely not human.
In short, Gu Liangyou was now filled with anger, as angry as when he just woke up and saw Fu Jingyan standing in front of him, or even more so.
He was about to ask again, but Lin Zhang had already lowered his hands, curled up in the wheelchair in pain, and let out an inhuman growl, and the poisonous insect in his dantian seemed like it would burst out of his body in the next second.
Gu Liangyou subconsciously took a half step back, and just when he wanted to contact Yi Yan through the headset, as if they had telepathic connection, a bullet came spinning through the air and instantly blew up Lin Zhang's abdomen!
"You--you're too cruel, aren't you?"
Gu Liangyou's eyebrows jumped violently.
Yi Yan, who had underestimated his current strength, also froze in place for a moment. After discovering that the young man was in danger, he subconsciously used all his magic power to give the bullets a speed-increasing rotation buff, but he didn't expect that he accidentally overdid it.
This time, the sect leader is probably in great danger.
"The thunder tribulation is coming!"
Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, Gu Liangyou stood there with his head lowered. His dark and cold eyes stared at the blood-red flesh mass that was still struggling to wriggle and repair itself in the flesh. His index finger moved slightly -
“Bang!”
Under the strong pressure of the air, it was completely shattered into a pool of rotten meat.
The dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate at all. It seemed as if they were enraged. A white light flashed, and a moment later, a thunderous explosion that seemed to destroy the world resounded throughout the Kunlun Mountains!
"I'm in a bad mood now." Gu Liangyou murmured.
His voice was completely drowned out by the howling wind and thunder.
Both the disciples of Linshen Sect and the people of Moda were uncontrollably frightened by the loud thunder, and the extreme white light of the lightning caused many onlookers to be temporarily blinded.
When they looked up again, they saw a tall, thin, black-haired young man with a cold face, controlling hundreds of swords, connecting them end to end to form a ball, which tightly wrapped themselves and Sect Master Lin.
Those sword practitioners who lost their beloved swords because of witnessing the thunder tribulation stared at their empty scabbards and began to get furious belatedly aware of the situation.
However, Gu Liangyou could not hear their curses.
The reason why he did this was that just now, amid the rumbling thunder, he suddenly understood what the sphere in the painting depicted.
After all this time, it’s just a Faraday cage!
"The Faraday cage has no creativity at all, and all the electricity energy is wasted," said Gu Liangyi.
Although he was also very angry, due to the thinking habits of a science and engineering man, he couldn't help but fantasize in this thunderstorm: "This kind of thunder tribulation is different from the lightning in nature. They are regular, and they only strike the heads of cultivators who are undergoing the tribulation. You, what do you think if we can let every ascended cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation install a receiving device..."
Gu Liangyou looked up at the sky. Even though the heavens were roaring and venting their anger at him, his posture was just like that depicted in the painting, relaxed and casual.
After hearing the main personality's words, his mood finally turned from gloomy to cheerful, and there was even a hint of smile in his tone:
"Then we can take advantage of the higher-dimensional beings and get them for free, right?"
