Xia Xiao felt that his master was different from before. In the past, his every move was filled with the surging vitality of the sea. If ordinary people were not careful, they would be swept into it, rolled by the waves and thrown into the deep sea. But now he had a feeling of hiding from the world. Although it was extremely profound, it was also a bit ethereal, as if he was in another world. The unreal mist outside his body only brought him back to the wilderness temporarily.

Xia Xiao had sensed this feeling from that mysterious woman before, but the master was doing this to find the person transformed by the Great Wilderness Consciousness. Could that person be him? Or was she, like the master, also looking for the consciousness transformed by the Great Wilderness?

Qingxunzi did not help Xia Xiao up, because he had indeed done something wrong, and Qingxunzi himself was also wrong, so he held the machete and sat in front of Xia Xiao. The father and son each had their own concerns, both of which were related to Shu Shuang.

Qingxunzi knew Shushuang's fate best. He knew she would leave, so he always cherished every bowl of porridge she cooked and every word he said to her. But she left too hastily and would never come back. Qingxunzi, who always treated Shushuang as his daughter, felt that he was too guilty. He shouldn't have given Shushuang such a mission. His previous thoughts were too beautiful. Although he had anticipated the consequences, he didn't expect it to be so cruel.

"You want to ask about Shu Shuang, right?"

Xia Xiao nodded and told him everything the Golden Spirit Beast had said about Shu Shuang. Qing Xunzi's eyes were full of comfort, and he told Xia Xiao not to worry. He would explain Shu Shuang's matter clearly. As Xia Xiao's master, Qing Xunzi was negligent. He should have appeared three months ago and told him everything. But he had been looking for the human form of the Great Wilderness's consciousness. If he hadn't passed by here today, he would not have seen Xia Xiao. I don't know how long this matter will drag on.

The prototype of Shu Shuang is the talisman array left by the ancestor of the spirit contract, but Qing Xunzi gave Shu Shuang life. So it can be said that he created Shu Shuang. This Pu Dao was also created by him. But before solving the problem of Shu Shuang, Qing Xunzi must first help Xia Xiao solve the problem of the golden spirit beast.

"Master, is this possible?"

Qingxunzi raised his finger slightly, causing the spiritual contract space in Xia Xiao's body to open. When the golden spirit beast was about to come out, Qingxunzi spoke with a very relaxed tone.

"I really didn't expect this, but I'm much older than him in terms of seniority, so I can do it."

No wonder the Golden Spirit Beast would temporarily compromise after knowing that he was Qing Xunzi's apprentice.

Xia Xiao thought for a moment, and the warrior transformed by the golden spirit beast appeared beside Xia Xiao, but Qing Xunzi opened his hand and the warrior turned into black and purple smoke, and only a sword was left.

"Qing Xunzi?"

The Golden Spirit Beast's calm voice could hardly hide a hint of surprise; he had not expected that he would come.

"I heard that you bullied my apprentice?"

"No, I just want to kill him and finish what I want to do."

Hmm... Xia Xiao didn't expect him to speak so directly. His master, who always protected his people, did not disappoint him. He snapped his fingers, causing the sword to ring.

"Qing Xunzi, you're going too far!"

"If you were that golden spirit beast, you could still address me by my name, but you forgot that you are just a sword he left behind. What status and strength do you have to speak to me like this? Even if you were that golden spirit beast, when you were accompanying the ancestor of the spirit contract, I had already traveled all over the world with him!"

Qing Xunzi suppressed the golden beast. For the former, even if the golden beast had all its strength, it could not defeat him. But since they had never fought before, the golden beast would not admit defeat, and would not give in because of his two words. He was made of metal all over, and he didn't have many characteristics, but he was tough enough and kept his principles.

"I spared Xia Xiao's life for your sake, and you treat me with such courtesy? If I leave him and gain all the power, I can still defeat you."

"Then remember this: ever since that master left, the only thing that can defeat me is time!"

Qing Xunzi's voice was calm, neither happy nor angry, and he casually flicked his hand, causing the sword to be thrown aside. Although it was floating in the air and stopped moving, the energy rushing in from the air made it difficult for it to make a sound.

"From now on, you should stay in Xia Xiao's body. Keeping him alive is the real long-term strategy."

"Do you know the true meaning of the prophecy left by the ancestor of the spiritual contract?"

"don't know."

The golden spirit beast was about to speak, but was stopped by Qing Xunzi. Although he was not by her side when the ancestor of the spirit contract left the Great Wilderness and left the prophecy, and he did not understand the true meaning of her prophecy, it seemed that the wisest choice was to give Xia Xiao enough time to grow.

"Don't stick to the old ways. Broaden your horizons. No matter what that gentleman means, he wants to make the wilderness more peaceful and prosperous. So, put away your arrogance and prejudice!"

“What if I don’t accept it?”

The Golden Spirit Beast seemed to be challenging Hu Bugui, who didn't want to waste any more time. His time was precious now. The more time he spent, the further away he would be from the Vice President. This road was difficult to walk, and he needed to work together with her to find her next step along the road that Dahuang's consciousness had walked. Therefore, the sealing power suddenly surged out of Qingxunzi's body, causing the Golden Spirit Beast to feel a strong sense of fear.

"I will seal you in the altar until you figure things out and come out. During this time, Xia Xiao will be able to use the gold energy at will."

"Qingxunzi, you are helping outsiders!"

"He is my disciple!"

After Qingxunzi finished humming, the voice of the golden spirit beast was no longer just going away, but completely disappeared from his and Xia Xiao's ears. The old man with white beard no longer glared like before, but handed a key to Xia Xiao. It turned into a stream of light and hid in Xia Xiao's body.

The golden spirit beast was too ignorant. To Qing Xunzi, although Xia Xiao was not by his side, he was definitely not an outsider. He only had two disciples in his life, Shu Shuang and Xia Xiao.

"This is the key to unlock his seal. Wait until he wakes up and then open it. If he is not honest, he will be sealed forever."

Xia Xiao nodded, his eyes suddenly becoming heavier. He felt a new force in his body, a force that could be both heavy and hard, and also sharp. Previously, the Golden Spirit Beast had sealed off the Golden Space, but now that he had no time to beg or curse, Xia Xiao could use this force.

From this moment on, Xia Xiao's metal element was truly awakened. From now on, he would not be afraid of a warrior of the wood element. The five elements were restrained, and now only the earth element was missing.

This awakening speed is still very fast, but it is still a long way from the final earth element. After all, the complete five elements require extremely strong strength to withstand. Xia Xiao missed the practice before, and now facing the four elements, his body can barely withstand it and feels particularly tired.

Xia Xiao felt that the Golden Spirit Beast's opinion of him would not be eliminated in a short time, as the former was as stubborn as a piece of steel turned into stone. Therefore, Xia Xiao looked at his master with hope, waiting for him to get to the point. The Golden Spirit Beast's matter was related to life and was very important, but Shu Shuang's matter was more important in Xia Xiao's heart!

"Shu Shuang has been gone for three months. You should have known that she was a billion-marked talisman formation, right?"

Thinking of Xia Xiao's despair of losing Shu Shuang and not being able to find him, Qing Xunzi felt distressed. So this time, Qing Xunzi wanted to tell Xia Xiao everything so that he would have a bottom line in the future. Although the golden spirit beast was a little arrogant, it was indeed strong. As he said, Shu Shuang would return. But this Shu Shuang was a little different from the previous Shu Shuang.

"Xia Xiao, you have to be prepared. What I am going to say next will subvert your cognition again."

"Master, please tell me. I can accept it."

Xia Xiao didn't want to drag it out any longer, but he didn't consider that Qing Xunzi would be embarrassed to speak up. The former felt that he had seen enough, but some things, if you don't say them, are just daydreams even if you think of them. But if someone thinks of something, there will definitely be someone who will do it, or has already done it.

"There are five talisman arrays in the hall outside the South Sea. Shu Shuang is the last one. It remains intact and still has a trace of divine energy in its body. Therefore, I took it away from the South Sea and into the human world."

"Master, I understand all of this. I just want to know about this machete."

"Don't worry, this broadsword is also part of the talisman formation. It is essentially the same as Shu Shuang."

Xia Xiao had always thought that the broadsword was just a carrier, and that it might contain Shu Shuang's mind or hidden secrets. But now it seemed even more magical. In order to concentrate more, Xia Xiao no longer knelt on his knees, but sat cross-legged on the ground like his master.

Xiao Ran knelt beside him, listening attentively, she hoped Shu Shuang would come back soon. She was probably the one who knew best how much Shu Shuang loved Xia Xiao, but when she glanced at the horizon inadvertently, she realized that the setting sun in the west had been on the horizon for a long time, as if time had stopped and everything stopped in an instant.
