Chapter 126: Golden Body Ascension "After a thousand years of separation, you and I... finally meet again...
Zhongyuzhou, within the Qingxuan Sword Sect.
"Master! There's constant unrest in the forbidden area, and refugees are pouring in from the mountain. What should we do?!" Lingyao rushed over, urgently demanding, "There are frequent floods in town, and cracks are appearing in the ground. Everyone is in a panic!"
Li Yizhi sat in the main hall, flanked by the four peak masters and elders. Their expressions suddenly changed upon hearing his words. Li Yizhi frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before making a decision.
"Close the sect protection formation and accept the refugees!"
Elder Duan immediately retorted upon hearing this: "Sect Master! If there are people among them with evil intentions—"
"So what? Are we going to abandon hundreds of innocent people just for a fabricated person?!" Tang Wuxin raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily, "We are the number one sect, don't we even have this little courage?"
Duan Changhu's eyes widened: "You——"
“That’s enough!”
Li Yi's voice was like a loud bell, and he made a decision with just one loud shout.
"This is a perilous situation, and we need to step forward." He glanced around and said decisively, "Elders He and Tang will go and escort the refugees. Peak Master Mei will lead the disciples to assist the injured. Elder Duan will stay within the sect, and the rest of us will follow me to aid other sects!"
"yes!"
Everyone clasped their fists in response and set off immediately.
Luoxizhou, the demonic land of the Western Wilderness.
At the foot of Youdu Mountain, the river water is red and hangs upside down in the sky.
"Lord Hades! Another demon is going berserk and out of control!"
"The monster in the ravine is flying out! Sir, help me—"
The Demon Palace was in chaos. The little demons rushed forward one after another and asked questions to the Lord of the Underworld and Yin Hou.
Yin Hou covered his head, his face showing annoyance, but his orders were remarkably clear: "You river monsters! Go and subdue Hong Jiang!"
"And you, lead those out-of-control demons to the edge of the ravine and have them kill the evil spirits and monsters!"
"Yes!" The eyes of several little demons lit up, and they ran out in a flash, shouting "Master Yin Hou is a genius!"
Yin Hou lay on the mahogany bench and exhaled tiredly, then saw that the motionless Lord of Hell suddenly stood up.
"Hey, Lord Ming, where are you going?" Yin Hou quickly sat up.
The Lord of the Underworld summoned a long spear of thorn iron, and his tall body, half man, half horse, cast a thick shadow.
"There's been a lot of unusual activity around the Western Wasteland barrier. I need to investigate."
Yin Hou raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, then burst out laughing: "You are truly loyal. Lord Saint ordered you to protect the barrier before he left, and you really didn't slack off at all. It's obviously okay to break the barrier during this chaotic time..."
Mingjun glanced over and stared at Yinhou silently for a long while before saying firmly, "You won't do that."
Yin Hou crossed his arms, tilted his head, and showed a smile that was both good and evil.
"Well, you guessed it right this time."
He looked at the gate to the three realms that was opened in the sky outside the window, and spoke slowly.
"After all, our monarch is still fighting on the front lines. We... must defend the rear!"
Travel to Beizhou, the northern devil's territory.
"Lord City Lord! The volcano a hundred miles away is alive again! The magma is erupting, and many demons have been buried!"
"Commander! Something strange has happened in the Blood Pond Cave. Several demons have disappeared after entering!"
On Dragon Bone Mountain, in the Demon Palace, the Demon Lord Commander-in-Chief, the Broken-Tailed Leopard Demon, and the Lords of the twelve cities sat around a round table, all with gloomy expressions.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash!" The Fourth City Lord sneered and slammed the table. "I'm going to go to the Blood Pond Cave and take a look! I want to see which of these reckless bastards dare to run around at this time!"
He strode out aggressively, and other city lords took the order one after another to go and quell the rebellion.
Although they themselves also look very motivated.
The Broken-Tailed Leopard Demon was still sitting quietly in the middle. After listening to the names of the city lords, he thought for a moment and gave other orders to the city lords who were still sitting there. Everything was in order.
"Oh, you are indeed the commander that Lord Demon Lord appointed before he left."
At the round table, the Lord of the Third City, Kuang Ye, propped up his head and looked at the Leopard Demon, still with an unruly look: "Although your strength is not good, you still have some ability."
"If it weren't for the Demon Lord who eliminated the rebels and boosted his power, I'm afraid the city lords would not listen to the orders of a little demon like me." The Leopard Demon responded in a deep voice, his dark eyes staring at Kuang Ye.
"Hmph, boring."
Kuang Ye snorted coldly, stretched, slowly stood up, and walked out.
"May I ask where the Lord of Crazy Night City is going?"
The Leopard Demon asked again, but saw that the tall figure did not stop moving at all, just waved his arm at him.
"You can't find the demon in that Burning God Volcano, right?"
The Leopard Demon's expression suddenly changed, and he heard Kuang Ye's voice carried by the evening breeze, with a fierce fighting spirit.
"I have enjoyed a hundred years of happiness. If I don't move, I will forget how to fight."
He walked to the door of the main hall and stopped, looking back in the sunset light, with a wild smile on his face.
"Boy, just watch your grandfather's heroic performance in suppressing the rebellion—!"
…
The gates of the world are wide open, and the five continents are in turmoil.
On the Hexu Continent, the immortal monks worked together, the demon clan turned the tide, and the demon realm experienced frequent turmoil, but was pacified one after another.
The gate to the three realms was opened by a twisted formation, with blood and resentment as sacrifices, and what was summoned was not supreme divine power, but ancient ferocious beasts.
The power of destruction broke through the air, and natural disasters and earthquakes continued in the world of cultivation, as if it would collapse overnight.
Among them, the first to be hit was Kongfang Island, which was closest to the boundary gate.
However--
"Master! Now!"
Gu Congxing shouted loudly, and Chen Mu immediately formed seals with his hands, and spiritual power surged. The giant formation drawn on the ground suddenly became brightly lit!
Dense and exquisite light patterns floated from the ground to the air, resembling the Milky Way. The five formations were shining with light, causing everyone present to look up and stare.
Gu Congxing drew his sword and jumped to a corner of the formation first!
He had accidentally seen this ancient magic circle in "Hexu Dahuanglu" before, and it was engraved in his mind at a glance. Now it comes in handy!
This formation has no name, but it is vaguely similar to Xuanyuanchu's Heavenly Sacrifice Formation, yet completely different. According to the judgment of the master and the people of the Jiang family, this formation can counter the Heavenly Sacrifice Formation!
"However, after all, that fellow's formation has already used himself and hundreds of Apocalypse Sect disciples as sacrifices. If it relies solely on the formation, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Jue looked embarrassed, and Gu Congxing also knew what he was thinking.
He clenched the whale-slaying sword tightly and said fearlessly, "If that's the case, why not offer my life as a sacrifice?!"
Jiang Jue opened his eyes wide in surprise. He pointed at Gu Congxing and said "you" a few times, and finally let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Chen Mu had already come behind Gu Congxing, his voice still as clear and calm as ever.
"I will also join the battle."
"Cong Xing, don't even think about taking it on alone." Lan Jue stepped forward, a slight smile on his face. "Now that we have a way to break it, even if it's just a tiny bit, I will definitely give it my all."
Before Gu Congxing could respond, he saw Zhong Ming and Si Junjian coming to his side.
Zhong Ming tilted his head and smiled a bit evilly: "Brother, don't think about abandoning me."
Si Junjian carried the lotus bone bow behind his back, crossed his arms and stared at Gu Congxing with a cold look in his eyes.
"We go together in life and in death."
He turned back to glance at the Tianlin Sect disciples, who were dressed like clouds in red, and said softly, "Besides, if it means saving the common people, even if it means sacrificing my own life, I will do it without hesitation."
Gu Congxing recalled the scene a moment ago, and without hesitation, poured all his spiritual power into the north side of the formation!
Pure golden spiritual power dances wildly, like broken gold surging and the stars competing for brilliance!
Si Junjian also jumped, his long orange tail suddenly exploded, his whole body was covered in flames, and one claw pierced into the west side of the formation!
The heat waves were scorching, the red flames were dancing, and the nameless formation was emitting increasingly powerful spiritual waves!
Zhong Ming looked at Gu Congxing's back in the flowing light, his golden eyes becoming brighter. He raised his lips and chuckled softly, then immediately flew into the formation, approaching Gu Congxing and flying into the eastern side of the formation!
The dragon blood vine broke out of the ground and penetrated into the formation like a living thing. Dragon scales suddenly appeared all over Zhong Ming's body, and the sharp light in his vertical pupils remained unchanged!
Lan Jue glanced at Gu Congxing, frowned slightly, flew straight into the southwest of the formation, raised his sword and plunged into the formation pattern!
Pure water light suddenly appeared, waves surged, and were all sucked into the formation!
Chen Mu stared at the ancient formation that was expanding in front of him, and suddenly looked back.
On Kongfang Island, all the cultivators were concentrating their minds and holding their breath as they stared at this place, their eyes full of hope.
Is this the way for all people?
“Master!”
A loud shout interrupted Shen Mu's thoughts. Gu Congxing stretched out his hand to him, and golden light surged in his glass eyes.
Shen Mu looked at him, then drew his sword and flew forward!
He entered the last empty space in the giant formation, the southeast corner. The cold light on the Zhuoguang sword was everywhere, and the snow was flying.
Silver light flashed, frost and snow condensed, Chen Mu swung his sword and poured all his deep spiritual power into the formation!
“Wow—”
The nameless ancient formation erupted with unprecedentedly violent spiritual waves, which actually raised a small hurricane in the air, uprooting all the trees on the Kongfang Island!
Before a young monk could stick his weapon into the soil to stabilize his body, he was swept into the hurricane and blown into the sea!
“Ahhh!”
He screamed and struggled to stretch out his hand, but the next moment he was firmly grasped!
"Tsk! Hold on tight—!"
Mei Ci held the young man's hand tightly. Behind him, other monks stretched out their hands and held Mei Ci tightly!
The monks present had involuntarily supported each other and became one, unbreakable!
Gu Congxing glanced at the scene on the ground and output his spiritual power even more unreservedly!
The nameless formation continued to expand, flying high into the sky, facing the gate to the three realms from afar!
But even so, this formation was still like a mayfly trying to shake a tree compared to the boundary gate, and it was unable to stop the evil god from breaking through the air!
“Drink…”
Gu Congxing shouted loudly, and sensed that the power of other spiritual roots was constantly gathering, merging into one in this formation, and constantly flowing!
[Ding! Host!]
The system that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly appeared. Gu Congxing stared at the transparent stone slab in the air in shock and couldn't help but exclaimed, "System?!"
The characters on the stone slab flashed rapidly, and bright light appeared.
[Host! 02 saved energy for a long time before, just for this moment!]
【Let me help you! 】
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when it said this, the originally flat and cold voice actually changed, and it became inexplicably familiar.
Before Gu Congxing could react, he saw that the transparent stone slab suddenly shattered and turned into countless dust particles!
Gu Congxing suddenly raised his head, and the glimmering dust was all absorbed into the formation. In the blink of an eye, the formation suddenly expanded!
Not only that, the formation that had originally only passively absorbed spiritual energy suddenly seemed to have a consciousness and began to actively devour their spiritual energy! !
"From the stars!"
Chen Mu shouted, "You guys leave first, leave this place to me!"
"Master, you underestimate us!"
Zhong Ming responded loudly, laughing wildly, and increased his power output!
"Master, I won't leave!" Gu Congxing also responded loudly, letting the strong wind blow his response away, "We share the same fur coat in life and the same blood in death!"
"Hahaha! What a great saying, we share the same roots in life and death!"
Lan Jue laughed happily, and the spiritual power in his body surged faster and faster.
"Humph! That's what I was going to say—"
The spiritual pattern on Si Junjian's forehead flashed, red light surged in his red vertical pupils, and his whole body was filled with blazing flames!
“Swish——”
The nameless ancient formation completely awakened, carrying with it the most ferocious and pure spiritual power, and suddenly bursting out with supreme divine power!
——The queens of the divine beasts gather, and the power of the gods descends!
The ferocious beast in the gate suddenly burst into wild roars, tearing at the sky as if enraged, but it was unable to stop the ancient divine power from approaching!
Like a golden bell in an ancient temple, the nameless ancient formation fell upside down, completely covering the gate!
"roar!!"
The beast roared in despair, but it was of no use!
"The gate...! The gate is starting to close!"
A monk looked at the huge black abyss in the sky that began to gather and shouted in ecstasy!
As he shouted, more and more cheers rang out!
“Swish——”
Suspended in the air, the black abyss receded, the blood light dissipated, and the gate to the three realms finally closed completely, turning into thousands of floating clouds!
At the same time, the nameless ancient formation that carried the ten-thousand-foot-high light of heaven suddenly dissipated and turned into countless golden rains!
"This...! Where did the five of them go?"
"I can't see them! Could it be, could it be..."
"No, no! They won't just..."
There was constant noise among the monks, but low sobbing sounds were already heard. At this moment, someone in the crowd burst into a loud shout. It was the injured Xiao Wangyou!
"Don't talk nonsense! The five of them were clearly there—"
The huge black sword in his hand pointed to one end of the sky. Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and saw a beam of light piercing through the thick and dark clouds, like a ladder to the divine realm.
And in that bright light, there were five figures floating up like golden feathers, they were Gu Congxing and others!
"Could this be... Ascension?!"
"Achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint, with a golden body ascending to heaven?!"
"Great! Woo woo woo..."
Various voices rang out in the crowd again, but there was no longer the despair and sadness as before.
——Ah, that’s great.
In his unclear consciousness, Gu Congxing could feel himself flying upwards.
The body also becomes light, as if flying in the wind.
The sky before him grew brighter and brighter, and all he could see was golden sunlight.
Then, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar chuckle.
It rings in my mind and seems to ring in my ears.
In that distant darkness, the eternal call that sounded countless times—
"From the stars... Ganmu..."
"After a thousand years of separation, you and I... are finally reunited."
