Chapter 292

They racked their brains to conceal thousands of mysteries from the Marquis of Buye, delaying the matter with true and false news, just to prevent the Marquis from knowing the truth. If he knew the whole plan, he would definitely choose to sacrifice himself in place of the Emperor's House.

Kuang Mian smiled bitterly and said, "From the moment that Mr. Buye woke up, and from the comic book that recorded what really happened in the other world, everything seemed to be messed up."

Gu Hongying removed the part that belonged to the [demon] and became a pure "human". The corresponding spirits of plants and trees must also be more complete. So... what about the consciousness of the demon clan?

————They could only think of the Canglong who was somewhere unknown.

The purest human destiny, the highest level of plant spirits, and the oldest demon consciousness, the combination of these three may no longer just postpone the disaster for thousands of years, but resolve it completely.

Before the Nightless Marquis woke up, their plan was just to keep the world peaceful for another ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, they would have long since turned into dust in this world, and there might not even be a trace left. Such a long future would naturally be left to the people ten thousand years later to shoulder.

But now, both Di Xiu and Kuang Mian realized a serious problem—because of the intervention of Marquis Buye, their fate was fixed in a direction they had never imagined, and most of their previous preparations were wasted.

"In the forbidden area of ​​the Grass Tribe..." Di Xiu frowned, "It's still not too late to stop it now."

"No." Kuang Mian shook his head. "Not only can we not stop, we must do our best."

"The original idea was for Gu Hongying to shoulder both the demon consciousness and the human destiny. If it weren't for the intricate connection between the Endless Sea and Bai Ze, we wouldn't have dared to make such an arrangement." Kuang Mian said, "Now that his pressure has been reduced, he has become the weakest one."

Whether it is the Buyehou who can guide the energy of life and death, or the infamous Canglong, Gu Hongying is too immature compared to them, not to mention that one of the three parties is an extremely unstable "bomb".

Emperor Xiu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Canglong will not become a demon consciousness that voluntarily wants to be sacrificed."

He had heard of Canglong and knew about his recorded life. The only time they had met was in the earth-shaking battle at Kunlun. Di Xiu knew very well that a man like him would never be willing to sacrifice himself to save others.

"He won't sacrifice himself voluntarily, but when the day comes, he will definitely come." Kuang Mian's tone was quite certain, "His ambition will not allow him to be absent."

The spirits of plants and trees, the luck of the human race, and the consciousness of the demon race, the combined power of these three is comparable to the way of heaven. If he wants to obtain this power and replace the consciousness of heaven and earth, he will definitely not give up this opportunity.

During the thousand years that he was active, everyone in the inner world knew his intentions. He allowed his subordinates to conduct various experiments in an attempt to control the candidates who could shoulder the power of these three parties in his own hands, but he was defeated time and time again.

Their best scenario was that Diwu and Gu Hongying would complete the task alone. If Canglong joined in, the number of candidates would increase from two to three. They might not win in a two-on-one battle, but they would definitely not lose. The worst result would be that both of them would perish.

"The fate has been determined. The only thing we can do is to make sure Gu Hongying is not too weak in the three-way confrontation." Kuang Mian sighed, "Otherwise, Senior Buyehou might even have to protect him."

The atmosphere fell into an unspeakable silence for a while. After a long while, Emperor Xiu asked, "What are you still looking at?"

"I've been looking at the star map for seven days and I've suffered some backlash." Under the hood, Kuang Mian's expression was as if he wanted to cry but couldn't. His voice, which was serious just now, became weaker. "Elder Di Xiu, please help me get a guide stick."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and tried to walk towards Emperor Xiu. He soon stepped on the edge of his robe which was too long. He staggered and almost did a kneeling ceremony, wishing Emperor Xiu a happy new year in advance.

Emperor Xiu: “…”

*

The teleportation array prepared in advance seemed quite reliable. When Gu Hongying entered it, he was only slightly dizzy for a few seconds, and then the world in front of him changed. There were blue sky and white clouds, green grass, beautiful mountains and clear waters.

"Bang-dang!"

Someone gave him a slap on the face.

Gu Hongying held his head with his hands and gasped in fear. He turned around and saw the celestial face that belonged to the Imperial House.

Di Wu didn't look very happy, and there was a faint smell of medicine lingering around him. Seeing Gu Hongying looking at him, he snorted coldly: "You've been delayed for four more days, and you're still standing there like an idiot?"

He walked past Gu Hongying towards a place with mottled light and shadows. Gu Hongying quickly came to his senses and caught up with him. While moving, he was shocked by his own speed - how come he suddenly had such a high level of control over his spiritual power?

Gu Hongying clenched his fists in confusion, feeling that his physical fitness seemed to have improved N times, and the meridians in his body were also strengthened and widened. When he looked inward before, the flow of spiritual energy in his body was normal, but now it was like a small river occupying the position of the sea. It looked weird no matter how he looked at it.

The spiritual power of the Plant Clan was particularly dense, so the pitiful spiritual power flow in his meridians was like a glutton seeing food, and every pore was absorbing it greedily. After only a few steps, the dense spiritual power formed a vortex visible to the naked eye above Gu Hongying's head, and there was also a faint echo of whistling.

Diwu glanced at the person behind him with complicated eyes.

Somehow something happened in Guixu, the agreed three days turned into seven. Di Xiu went to the Endless Sea of ​​Guixu on the morning of the fourth day, and he hasn't reported the reason until now. The Buye Hou, who had been watching him recover every day, suddenly closed the door to visitors four days ago, and Yu Tu fell into a coma inexplicably on the same day. Di Wu took bitter medicine every day, worried about emergencies, and coordinated the relationship with the demon tribe in the forbidden area... He was so busy that he had a headache.

He exhaled slowly, suppressing the rage rising from the bottom of his heart: "Control your spiritual power, don't absorb it so quickly."

Gu Hongying is now equivalent to a hardware upgrade to the top level, but the software has not kept up, so after the hardware upgrade is completed, the software will be automatically upgraded in an attempt to narrow the gap.

Gu Hongying was sweating profusely as he tried to control the vortex of spiritual energy above his head. If he continued to absorb it without considering the consequences, he was afraid that he would turn into an exploding balloon!

After struggling for a long time, the vortex of spiritual energy above Gu Hongying's head finally dissipated. He wiped his sweat and said, "Chief of the Diwu Clan, what are we going to do next?"

The Emperor's House activated a strange teleportation array in the place with mottled light and shadows: "You go in."

Gu Hongying: “……?”

So this clan leader is just a volunteer between the two teleportation arrays?

Although he had a lot of questions in his mind, Gu Hongying knew that his top priority now was to suppress his doubts and cooperate fully. When everything was over, he would naturally know the truth.

Gu Hongying obediently entered the teleportation array. What he didn't see was that Diwu's eyes suddenly became complicated between the shifting of light and shadow.

…

This time, the teleportation array transported Gu Hongying into the pitch-dark underground.

There were already people waiting beside the teleportation array. With the dim light of the array, Gu Hongying saw a tall woman in front of him. She had a snake-like bun, and the dim light illuminated her calm face.

I don’t know if it’s because the underground is too depressing or the person in front of me is too serious, but Gu Hongying’s voice became very soft and subconscious: “Hello.”

"Hello." The woman with the snake-like bun said, "I am Yilin from the Plant Tribe."

Iris spoke very little, or rather, she was a quiet person. After the polite greetings, she got straight to the point: "This place is quite special. You can't make mistakes in the route. Please follow me closely."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked deeper into the cave. Every time her toes touched the ground, ripples appeared on it, lighting up and going out quickly. In the blink of an eye, she had already walked dozens of meters forward.

Gu Hongying chased out of the formation. He thought it would be a bit difficult to replicate the scene exactly with his reaction speed, but after he started walking, every node was firmly imprinted in Gu Hongying's mind. He could even connect these nodes in his mind while keeping up with Yi Lin's pace.

Is the walking route also part of some special formation?

Yilin led Gu Hongying in almost a complete circle. The last node was lit up and her back disappeared from sight. Gu Hongying connected to the extinguished node the next second, but found himself in a new place.

After looking around, his eyes gradually widened - he couldn't tell whether this place was underground or above ground. Everything that was frozen in the sky, inlaid on the walls, and placed on the ground were precious materials that he had only seen in books or auction records.

What a big deal!

"Gu Hongying, calm down and concentrate." Yi Lin, who had come in earlier, had disappeared without a trace, but her voice reached Gu Hongying's ears accurately, "You are at the center of the formation."

Being in a room full of precious materials and accompanied by an unknown special formation, Gu Hongying felt for a moment as if he were some kind of precious sacrifice.

He shook his head, shaking this somewhat funny idea out of his mind, and went to the very center of the place. After he sat down cross-legged, white arrays connected all the rare materials within his sight, emitting a shimmering light.

If Yu Tu had not fallen into a coma, he would have discovered that these illuminated wandering array patterns were 60% similar to his overturned sacrificial array, only more perfect, comprehensive and stable.

Gu Hongying: "What should I do now?"

"Absorb the spiritual power that the formation imparts to you until you have completely transformed it into your own use." Iris said, "The process may be a little painful, please forgive me."

…

When the formation was officially put into effect, the expression on Gu Hongying's face instantly became distorted. What did "somewhat painful and unbearable" mean? It was clearly super invincible and unbearable!!!

The spiritual power flowing like a stream in the body seemed to be injected into a flood that had broken the dam, roaring and washing through the meridians. The meridians that extended in all directions were like solid embankments. Even if they were constantly damaged by the flood, there was still a gentle force that could repair them afterwards.

As he destroyed and repaired himself at the same time, Gu Hongying's meridians widened visibly, and his spiritual power grew from a small stream into a big river, and finally gradually turned into a surging ocean.

The rare materials contained in the formation turned into flying smoke one after another. The white formation dimmed many times and then lit up again and again.

The shape of the Chinese character "川" (川) formed between Yilin's brows, and she dared not take her eyes off Gu Hongying for a moment. Once Gu Hongying absorbed to the limit, she must break the formation immediately and not cause any harm to him.

Several times she thought Gu Hongying had reached his limit, but he just held on. Even after changing two batches of auxiliary materials, he still showed no signs of stopping.

Everyone hopes that he can hold on as long as possible.

…

Yi Lin stared at Gu Hongying's situation with great nervousness. Di Wu, who had acted as a "transit volunteer", was obviously much more relaxed. He was carrying a sack that was bigger than him, bending over to pick up the "small animals" that were constantly thrown out by the formation.

"Oh shit! My old waist! Press it gently!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss--Tail! Tail!"

"Don't touch my wings! They're hard to take care of!"

"We're finally done! Hit!"

The small animals that were thrown out by the formation were chirping. The Emperor House stuffed every one he caught into the sack, and the complaints of "ouch ouch" were heard incessantly.

"Diwu, you put us in sacks, do you have any conscience?"

"I am the head of our clan, how dare you pull my wings?"

"I am a hero after all, who uses a sack to pretend to be a hero!!!"

"When you recover, I will @#% you dead tree..."

Diwuteng stretched out a hand to dig his ears, and then met the eyes of the small animals in the oversized sack, and his complaints stopped for a moment.

"Hey? Why aren't the clan leaders talking?" Diwu, who had been suppressing his rage for days, finally smiled with relief. "I was planning to pick you up first, and then send you to your clans one by one~"

A sack of tribe leaders: "???"

They transferred 90% of their life's cultivation to Gu Hongying through a special sacrificial array, so that now they can no longer maintain their human form and can only exist in their original form.

Normally in the tribe, each of them carries themselves with the aura and dignity of a clan leader, and can be said to be the epitome of reliability, stability and strength. If they were sent back to the tribe in their original form (even a cute version with a significant drop in cultivation and a drastic reduction in size) - would they have no face at all!

Not everyone is this tree that doesn’t care about image at all!

Emperor Wu opened his mouth and King Yan called the troops: "Snake chief?"

The little white snake that was named stuck out its tongue and pretended to be dead.

"Bear Chief?"

The brown bear in the corner of the sack curled up into a ball silently.

"Leopard Chief?"

The leopard, which is only half the length of its forearm, pretends to be a pillow.

Diwu called out the names of the clan leaders in the sack one by one, and only after he finished calling out the names did he carry the sack on his shoulders with satisfaction:

"Please be quiet, all clan leaders. You don't want to be seen like this by the kids at home, right?"
