Chapter 218: The Fox Spirit (31)
"The inner world is constructed from the cultivator's original spiritual power and is a part of the cultivator. If the ascension is successful, the inner world will go with the cultivator to the world after ascension, not here. This should be a remnant, and its power is gradually weakening. It is estimated that in another hundred years, this world will completely dissipate."
Gu Xuefeng pointed to the distance ahead, "That area has already begun to collapse."
Wen Wan looked over and realized that a piece of the sky had actually collapsed, looking like a surreal fantasy, with the sky collapsing and connecting with the earth.
"Then we need to leave quickly, right? Are we supposed to stay here until the world disappears?"
"If the other world disappears, everything in that world will disappear, including us."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
Could this be the danger the system was talking about? This is far too dangerous! Looking at Gu Xuefeng, she said, "Since you're also a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, you should be able to break through this inner world, right?"
"If I force a breakthrough, the inner world will collapse faster; if I intervene, it will disappear instantly."
Wen Wan was stunned. "Then what do we do? Isn't there any other way? Do we have to bring that dead cultivator back to life before they'll let us out?"
Gu Xuefeng didn't answer Wen Wan. Wen Wan felt that she was doomed. The system had repeatedly warned her to be careful and not to cause trouble, but she hadn't done anything and had inexplicably ended up in this weird place. She was a real traitor. Now she was going to die.
"There is another way."
"What method?"
"Find the key to the other world and unlock its master, and you can temporarily take control of the other world in place of its master."
Where is the key?
"have no idea."
"Will anyone else come in?"
"No, because the entrance no longer existed when we came in."
Wen Yan: "..."
"So we're just two unlucky chosen ones?"
Wen Wan lay down on the spot, plopped down on the grass, reached out and pulled a handful of grass. The next second, the grass she pulled was back to its original state. It seemed that they could not destroy anything here.
"If I didn't know it was a tomb-like place, it would be a paradise, a perfect place to live in seclusion."
etc.
"You mean this place can last for another hundred years? So even if we can't find the key to get out, we can still live for a hundred years?"
Gu Xuefeng nodded. "Yes."
Wen Wan's sadness suddenly lessened by half. In Wen Wan's view, she was already dead, and now she was still able to live to the age of an ordinary person, which was almost the same as dying of old age. In fact, if she comforted herself, this result was not really unacceptable.
But suddenly Wen Wan looked at Gu Xuefeng. She herself still had something to make up for, but this was not something Gu Xuefeng could accept. After all, the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the longer they could live.
"Gu Xuefeng, how old are you?"
Gu Xuefeng looked at Wen Wan, not understanding why she suddenly asked this question. He thought about it seriously, and realized he had almost forgotten how long he had lived. "A thousand years, I guess."
Wen Yan: "..."
"I'm only in my twenties, this must be hundreds of generations of my ancestors, right?"
Gu Xuefeng: "???"
What are you saying?
Wen Wan almost gave herself away. "It's nothing. We demons calculate our age from the day we take human form. I took human form for the first time, which was a little over twenty years ago, so I'm in my twenties and very young."
Gu Xuefeng: "..." He didn't know there was such a calculation method, but even if Wen Wan was calculated according to the age of a demon, she was only a few hundred years old. Gu Xuefeng suddenly felt depressed, which came out of nowhere.
"For cultivators or demons, age is the most useless thing."
"Have you lived for thousands of years, staying in the Snow Sect the whole time? Aren't you bored? Haven't you ever been in a relationship? How come you've been single for so long?"
Gu Xuefeng: "I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, so I don't need a Daoist partner."
Wen Wan: Sure enough, even if the male lead is an old demon who has lived for thousands of years, he will remain chaste for the female lead. This is practically a standard feature of online novels. After all, for most readers, the male lead's greatest dowry is a man's chastity.
"Is there anything you particularly enjoy doing besides cultivation?"
"No."
Do you have family and friends?
Gu Xuefeng's gaze drifted into the distance, without any particular focus. Family? Friends?
Wen Wan sensed a faint sadness emanating from Gu Xuefeng. She wanted to slap herself. Why ask a relative of all people? Gu Xuefeng possessed the blood of the Asura clan, so his father or mother must also be an Asura. The Asura clan had long been wiped out by divine punishment, so how could he possibly still have relatives? Wasn't this just rubbing salt into his wounds?
“It’s okay if you don’t have any. From now on, I’ll be your family. Just treat me like your sister, and I’ll definitely take good care of you.”
Wen Wan also wanted to say that she would find you a beautiful wife, and maybe you could even have children in the future, so that the family ties would be continued.
Gu Xuefeng frowned and stood up. "Let's find a place to stay first."
"Alright, we can't just sleep on the floor at night. By the way, does this world even have night? Don't let it stay the same all the time, or we'll all suffocate."
"have."
"That's fine then."
Wen Wan originally thought that Gu Xuefeng would still bring out the miniature model house with the same structure as Qianxue Palace, but he went to cut down trees. His reason was that this place could not use other spatial powers at all. In other words, not only could the storage bell not go in, but she could not take out any of the meat, vegetables, spirit stones, and beef jerky she stored inside.
It is truly heartbreaking.
Fortunately, he had cultivation, so the house was built very quickly. Although it couldn't compare to the Thousand Snow Palace, it was at least better than being in the open.
There are no seasons here, and the temperature doesn't change, so there's no need to worry about freezing to death without a blanket.
After settling into his lodgings, Gu Xuefeng set up an array around the area to prevent snakes, insects, rats, and other pests from entering.
Wen Wan even saw some rabbits and birds. These animals had no spiritual energy and were just ordinary animals. They wouldn't even live to see the day the world collapsed.
For them, this place is no different from the real world.
Soon night fell, and the sky was full of stars. Wen Wan sat in the courtyard looking at the sky. Without the system to listen to Wen Wan's ramblings, Wen Wan could only ramble on to Gu Xuefeng, "I think the owner of this world must be a person with a romantic heart and a gentle nature. This place is beautiful both day and night."
Such a starry sky is unseen in modern times, and Wen Wan has almost forgotten when she last saw the stars.
Do you also have an alternate world?
Gu Xuefeng: Yes.
"I've never seen you take it out before. What does it look like? Can I go in and take a look?"
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
"What's wrong?"
Gu Xuefeng looked at Wen Wan with a complicated expression. "There's nothing to see."
