Chapter 113: Giant Shadow in the Deep Sea "Follow the Stars! Return to Crazy Mountain!"...
"Bang!"
The Whale Slaying Sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. Si Junjian beside him immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is the residual poison acting up again?"
"No, the remaining poison has been cleared away long ago... I just suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart."
Gu Congxing picked up the sword and held it tightly in his hand.
Just now, his heart suddenly stopped beating without any warning, and then he felt an unbearable heaviness.
Could something have happened?
He pondered for a moment, then resolutely stepped forward: "Let's find the Primordial Mysterious Crystal quickly and get out as soon as possible."
Si Junjian originally liked this place very much. There were only the two of them and the scenery was magnificent. He wished he could stay here for a few more days and nights with Gu Congxing.
Seeing Gu Congxing's serious expression, Si Junjian knew he had made up his mind. He followed him and said, "Okay. From what I feel, it should be not far away..."
As he said this, he quietly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gu Congxing, and then interlocked their fingers.
The long orange tail also rose up and wrapped around Gu Congxing's wrist, bringing a furry and itchy feeling.
Gu Congxing's eyebrows raised at his actions, and he said with a smile, "You're like a clingy cat right now."
"Humph, I'm clearly a descendant of the Tengu, the current Demon King!"
"Yes, yes~"
After such a childish exchange with him, the heavy cloud in Gu Congxing's heart seemed to dissipate a little. He walked quickly with Si Junjian and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, how did you know you were a descendant of the Tengu?"
Si Junjian hadn't expected him to ask this question. He thought for a moment before answering, "So, I only found out after I fell into Xuanyuan Chu's illusion."
He had lost his mind at the time, but it wasn't that he was completely oblivious to the outside world. Rather, a powerful force that had been dormant within him suddenly awakened, aggressively seizing control of his body. He felt like he was trapped in a cage, only able to observe what was happening but unable to intervene.
After he regained consciousness, he realized the source of that power, which was the divine beast Tengu.
No one had specifically told him, but he just knew it suddenly. It was like a person knowing how to eat, more like a budding instinct.
Gu Congxing lowered his eyes and said, "Xiao Wangyou mentioned the myth of the divine beast to me before. He claimed to be a descendant of the Phoenix bloodline. Besides that... my junior brother Zhong Ming is probably also of the divine beast bloodline."
Si Junjian's face, which was originally still immersed in joy, became less smiling when he heard the name "Xiao Wangyou", and when he heard the name "Zhong Ming", he snorted coldly without any concealment.
"That Zhong Ming is just a Heavenly Demon Black Dragon, how can he be related to a divine beast?"
"Have you forgotten that among the five mythical beasts there is a black dragon named 'Drum'?"
Si Junjian opened his mouth to argue, but upon hearing this, he frowned and fell silent.
However, Gu Congxing had a flash of inspiration in his mind and couldn't help but think more deeply.
In this way, the mythical beasts in the creation myth fought each other, and the five great beasts, Phoenix, Kaiming, Heavenly Dog, Drum, and Fuchu, fought each other. Now, three of them have been passed down in the world of cultivation.
Xiao Wangyou is a descendant of the Phoenix, Si Junjian is a descendant of the Tengu, and my junior apprentice brother has the bloodline of the Drum...
So, what about Fu Chu and Kai Ming?
Moreover, Xuanyuan Chu had set up many traps at that time, and his goal was to obtain the bloodline of the divine beast. In this case, his target should be the descendant of the divine beast.
In addition to Si Junjian and the junior brother, there is also the senior brother who escaped the disaster!
Although there are no signs of blood awakening, the eldest brother's pure water spiritual roots are so similar to Fu Chu's!
Thinking of this, Gu Congxing couldn't help but shudder.
Could it be such a coincidence? The descendants of the mythical beasts just happened to gather around him?
If so, could it be that Kaiming, who was originally guarding the capital of the God Realm, is also someone around him?
Enlightened, enlightened...
Just this name made him inexplicably think of the word "Zhuoguang"!
Zhuoguang Sword Master...Master!
This word suddenly flashed through Gu Congxing's mind, and his feet stopped immediately.
"Gu Congxing?" Si Junjian tilted his head to observe his expression. "What did you think of?"
"...Si Junjian, do you still remember that seven years ago, there were frequent disappearances of disciples from the Immortal Sect, and the one who caused the most uproar was none other than Jiang Zhou, a disciple of the Jiang Clan."
"I remember. Why do you suddenly bring up this old story?"
Gu Congxing narrowed his eyes slightly, his glint startlingly bright. "I remember Jiang Li once mentioned that Jiang Zhou was exceptionally talented and a leader among the Jiang family's bloodline. But now I'm thinking that Xuanyuan Chu wasn't targeting him from the beginning, but rather using him as a substitute—because his real target is extremely difficult to achieve."
Si Junjian couldn't help but ask, "Who are you talking about?"
"The most powerful person in the Jiang family in the past hundred years." Gu Congxing said word by word, "My master, Shen Mu."
Si Junjian was shocked by his words. He was silent for a moment before saying:
"So Zhuoguang Sword Master is from the Jiang family... If he's also a descendant of a divine beast, then his overwhelming strength is understandable."
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Gu Congxing was the first to speak: "Regardless of whether Master is enlightened or not, we will go find him as soon as we leave the secret realm."
Si Junjian also nodded.
The two searched around in this secret place but found no trace of the secret treasure.
Looking around, it was still the night with the sea and sky merged into one, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and the silver light was reflected on the water.
Gu Congxing stared at his reflection in the water and slowly frowned.
There are still gray ravine shadows in the full moon in the sky, but the moon shadow in the water is complete, smooth and lustrous, which is perfect.
Therefore, it doesn't seem real.
"Si Junjian, look at the moon in the water, is there something strange about it?"
Si Junjian then observed the full moon's reflection on the sea. After a moment, he nodded and said, "How can this reflection in the water be brighter than the real moon?"
The two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
"Let's go down and take a look." Gu Congxing took the first step.
"Follow me and don't get separated." Si Junjian's spiritual power moved slightly, and he jumped into the sea.
Gu Congxing silently recited the breath-holding technique and jumped down with a "plop".
The sea is vast and desolate. Apart from the dark blue waves, there is nothing else in sight.
There are no corals, no fish, not even reefs...
It was like entering another mysterious space, and he and Si Junjian were strangers.
Light and shadows floated on the surface of the water at the top, and the field of vision was clear, but the further down one went, the less light there was, and all that could be seen was darkness and deepness.
Empty, silent, unknown darkness...
Although Gu Congxing knew that he should continue, he naturally felt a resistance deep in his heart.
At this moment, his hand was firmly grasped.
Si Junjian's body temperature could be felt from the contact of their skin. He moved closer to Gu Congxing, his face looking a little worried.
"How do you feel now? Do you want to go back to the shore and wait for me?" Si Junjian's voice sounded in his mind.
Gu Congxing shook his head and squeezed his hand even tighter.
"I'm just a little uncomfortable. Keep going."
The five senses of a cultivator are far superior to those of an ordinary person. Even in this increasingly dark environment, Gu Congxing can still see the scenery below.
Sadly, there is still nothing.
It was like falling into real darkness.
Gu Congxing felt the reassuring warmth in his palm, and was distracted by the thought that at this moment he and Si Junjian had turned into two fish, one red and one white, and were constantly moving downwards along the water flow.
But if he really had to choose, he would rather be a bird in the sky, accompanied by the vast blue sky, with flowing clouds and the sun, unrestrained and free...
"No, it's too dark, and there's nothing there. I won't be able to find it at this rate."
Si Junjian stopped his movements and said in a voice transmission: "Why not create some light? Even if there are enemies, it is worse than rushing down like this without any purpose."
Gu Congxing thought for a while and nodded, "That's right. Your flame won't burn easily in this sea water, so why not let me do it?"
After he finished speaking, he activated the elixir, and the golden spiritual power gathered in his palm and then suddenly released it!
For a moment, golden light flashed like the Milky Way, illuminating the dark sea!
"Well, it turns out that light makes people feel more comfortable." Si Junjian raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
"I agree with that..."
Gu Congxing turned to look at him, but his eyes widened in shock in an instant!
Behind Si Junjian, there was a gaping bloody mouth! !
The sharp teeth reflected the cold light, like the scythe of death in this deep sea!
"Si Jun Sword!!"
Gu Congxing's hair stood on end, and he immediately pulled the Sijun Sword behind him. At the same time, he summoned the Whale Slashing Sword and unleashed all his spiritual power to attack the monster! !
He attacked while retreating quickly, until he retreated several steps and finally saw the whole appearance of the monster!
Its eyes were bulging red, and its pitch-black body looked like an iceberg in the sea. When the Whale-Slaying Sword pierced it, it was as small as a thorn piercing a giant!
Si Junjian's face immediately changed. Without hesitation, he summoned the Lotus Bone Bow and blocked in front of Gu Congxing. At the same time, he aimed at the monster's eyes and put an arrow on the string!
“Swish!”
The long arrow, imbued with magical power, was not blocked by the buoyancy in the water, and suddenly its size increased several times, piercing the monster's right eye in just a moment!
The monster immediately roared, and its fish tail like a giant whip kept swinging, hitting the two of them directly!
Gu Congxing's eyes darkened, and he immediately summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword to cut off the fins on the long black tail!
“Crack!”
It was a sound like the collision of knives. Gu Congxing gritted his teeth, supported himself with his arms, and fiercely cut off the fish fin!
The giant fish monster roared even louder, and its body rolled violently, causing the water flow in the entire sea to become chaotic. Gu Congxing was immediately swept backwards by a powerful wave!
"Gu Congxing!"
Si Junjian's demonic power surged, and he grabbed him with lightning speed, but at this moment another undercurrent came!
He no longer had the hands to draw the bow, so he immediately condensed a stream of pure demonic power to confront the water head-on!
"This damn monster... We can't fight it head-on. Destroy its eyes and get out of here!"
Si Junjian's voice transmission sounded urgently, and Gu Congxing's sharp eyes immediately swept towards the other eye of the fish monster.
The surrounding water was still churning violently. Maintaining balance was already a difficult task. Moreover, surrounded by the seawater, there was no gold-type spiritual energy in the air to gather...
This is truly a desperate situation I have never faced before!
A line of cold sweat trickled down Gu Congxing's forehead, but his mind became strangely clearer.
It can even be said that he is extremely calm at this moment.
The dark and deep eyes flickered, like an endless starry night.
Since Si Junjian can attach demonic power to the arrow and make it explode, then he might be able to do it too!
Since this monster is attracted by light, this time we will use strong light to immobilize it!
The Whale-Slaying Sword made a clanging sound, and Gu Congxing's spiritual energy surged instantly. The golden spiritual power circulated throughout his body and continuously flowed into the sword.
The Whale-Slaying Sword suddenly emitted a golden glow, like falling sunlight.
The giant fish monster paused in its tumbling movements, and at this moment, the Whale-Slaying Sword surged forward like a meteor!
Just like a meteorite falling, the spirit sword, which was originally only three feet long, suddenly grew to nearly three feet when it approached the fish monster!
The supreme sword force merged with the spirit sword itself, and in the blink of an eye, it had already pierced into the fish's eye! !
However, it didn't stop moving, but kept moving downwards, suddenly chopping off half of its head!
“Crack!”
A blood mist suddenly gushed out of the dark sea water, and the monster's dying struggle became more violent, actually stirring up a whirlpool in the water!
Gu Congxing and Si Junjian retreated immediately, but the vortex spread rapidly and the two were unable to avoid it and were already sucked into it!
Si Junjian embraced Gu Congxing tightly with his long arms, and immediately pulled out the red ribbon in his hair to tie the two together.
The vision in front of me was spinning rapidly, and there was a familiar temperature all around me.
His head was getting more and more dizzy, and Gu Congxing closed his eyes...
After an unknown amount of time, when he felt that the water flow around him had stabilized, he saw a sea area shining with light.
Gu Congxing and Si Junjian were still tied together tightly by the red ribbon magic weapon. Si Junjian untied it and checked Gu Congxing's spiritual power. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that he was fine.
"This place... seems to be different from the sea area just now." Si Junjian said.
Gu Congxing also responded via voice transmission: "Not bad. Much more comfortable."
The two of them were still holding hands as they looked around. Suddenly, the scene before their eyes became brighter. It turned out to be a gorgeous coral reef, and there was the supreme secret treasure that was emitting flowing light!
“Primordial Mysterious Crystal!!”
Gu Congxing shouted in surprise.
It’s really not easy to find it all the way here!
He and Si Junjian immediately stepped forward, and the moment they picked it up, supreme pure spiritual power suddenly surged, and the scene before them gradually disappeared.
When the two's vision returned to normal again, they had been sent out of that secret realm and were now in a huge ravine!
"Your Highness! Lord Gu!" The anxious voice of the Lord of Hell made Gu Congxing suddenly feel like he had survived a calamity.
At this moment, the communication spirit tool in his arms seemed to be suddenly awakened and kept flashing. Gu Congxing immediately summoned it, but heard a sharp voice shouting:
"Cong Xing! Return to Kuangshan quickly!"
It’s the eldest brother!
"Master's hiding place has been discovered... There are hundreds of invaders!"
