The two lightning tribulations shook the entire Heaven Realm.
"I didn't expect Venerable Minghua to be possessed. How could there be such a young eighth-grade pill refiner? Not everyone can be favored by the Heavenly Dao like Venerable Lu Xun. "
"You can't say that. Although Venerable Minghua is not as good as Venerable Lu Xun, his talent is not bad. Otherwise, why would Mo Xiu possess him? The Heavens are jealous of geniuses."
"That Mo Xiu is really hateful!"
"It's a pity that we were far away in the North Sea and couldn't personally experience the Golden Dragon Tribulation. I heard that many of the cultivators present were blessed by the Heavenly Dao. They were enlightened and their cultivation improved. It's really … Sigh. "
The person who spoke was envious and jealous. In the end, he only sighed.
The Mystical Treasure House worked hard to sell the Golden Dragon Tribulation Shadow Stone. Those cultivators who had never seen it were not willing to brush past the legend. They were very happy to take out their spirit stones, so they were lucky enough to see that scene.
After three years, the Thunder Tribulation was still talked about enthusiastically. It was said that one should not force things, but in the end, they were not willing to accept it.
"So what? Do you think everyone can be as lucky as Venerable Zixiao? Venerable Lu Xun went from the late stage of Soul Formation to the early stage of Body Integration. If he didn't give the Golden Dragon Vital Energy to Venerable Zixiao, I'm afraid he would be a Mahayana almighty now! "
"Venerable Lu Xun loves Venerable Zixiao very much. If it were anyone else, who would give up a heaven-sent opportunity without hesitation? If it were me, to be honest, I would never do such a thing. "
"Yes, Venerable Zixiao must have accumulated a lot of good karma in his previous life to be so loved by Venerable Lu Xun!"
"Isn't that so …"
Gou Liang heard the chatter. He looked at Mo Yinchu with a smile and whispered in his ear, "Good disciple, I'll love you more in the future and make you the most envied Langjun in the cultivation world."
Mo Yinchu turned his head and kissed him. He whispered in Gou Liang's language, "Your disciple must have saved the universe in his previous life to be able to meet you, Master."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Qian Yi, who was at the side, shuddered. She rubbed her arms and rolled her eyes. She whispered to Wen Le, "Here they go again. They've been so lovey-dovey all this time. What's so rare about it?"
"If you are jealous, I don't mind being imitated."
Gou Liang said with a smile.
Qian Yi snorted heavily. Wen Le smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior. We are fine as we are."
The four of them traveled all the way from the Small Southern Sky. They heard that the North Sea School of Imperial Beasts had a mystic realm open to the public, so they disguised themselves and came to join in the fun. They didn't expect to hear cultivators talking about the Golden Dragon Lightning Tribulation as soon as they stepped into the restaurant. Their words were full of envy.
Gou Liang heard them talking about how they envied Mo Yinchu for having him as a partner. He was in a good mood, so good that he couldn't control his mouth. He chuckled and said, "Is that so?"
Gou Liang rubbed his chin and said meaningfully, "Why do I hear that a certain person hasn't improved at all these years? He doesn't even know how to change his posture when cultivating. He's always so nervous that he has to be coaxed and supported by you before he dares to enter?"
Wen Le, "…"
Qian Yi's face turned red. She slammed the table and shouted, "How, how did you know! You actually peeked — shameless! Pervert! "
Mo Yinchu put down his teacup and looked at Gou Liang with a smile.
Gou Liang, "… You can steal my master's wine, but he can't peek at you? I only heard him say a few words by chance. Hehe, I still don't know if you have improved in these two years. "
System: Thank you for taking the blame for me all those years, Great Master orz!
Mo Yinchu glanced at him. Obviously, he didn't believe his nonsense. Qian Yi believed him and cursed, "That shameless old bastard! When we get back, I'll smash his wine gourd! "
This time, even Wen Le didn't stop him. She lowered her head and her face was burning red.
Gou Liang gave Mo Yinchu a flattering smile. Just as he was about to change the topic, someone stepped forward and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I am Zhao Tianqi, a disciple of the North Sea Sword Sect. I saw that you were extraordinary, so I abruptly disturbed you. May I ask if the four of you are also here for the School of Imperial Beasts' secret realm?"
Ever since the School of Imperial Beasts lost more than ten elite disciples in the Yellow Spring Secret Realm, they hadn't been able to cultivate suitable talents among their younger disciples to fill this gap. That was why they generously opened the secret realm to Loose Cultivators when it opened in order to recruit talents.
The other sects that they were on good terms with also gave them a few spots as a favor.
Qian Yi was in a bad mood — any man wouldn't be able to calm down after being surrounded by such a scandal. She said impatiently, "Who here isn't here for the secret realm? Why ask when you already know the answer? If you have something to ask of us, just say it. Once you're done, leave. "
The sword cultivator's expression changed slightly. Although the North Sea Sword Sect wasn't listed as a sect, it was still the leading sword cultivator sect in the North Sea. It was reputable. He didn't expect that he would still be treated badly when he introduced himself.
Wen Le, however, looked at him with some surprise and said this to Qian Yi via secret sound transmission. Qian Yi couldn't help but take another look at the sword cultivator.
This Zhao Tianqi had some impression of him. The main reason was that he had lived at the foot of the Seven Sword Sect's mountain for a year and had been constantly curried favor by this person. He didn't expect that this person would fail the Seven Sword Sect's Immortal Fate Gathering and move to the North Sea to become a disciple of the North Sea Sword Sect.
However, his bad habit of currying favor with everyone he met hadn't changed at all.
Qian Yi didn't wrongly accuse him. Zhao Tianqi was conceited about his ability to see through people. He always had a special intuition about hidden experts, which was why he took the initiative to befriend them. However, this time, he wasn't shooting at random.
He bowed again, straightened his body, and said, "It's only because I encountered something the day before yesterday and saw that the four Fellow Daoists' swords were somewhat similar to the swords of the Seven Sword Sect's Inner Sect disciples. I wanted to ask if this was the case so that I could ask everyone to pass on a message to the Seven Sword Sect. Since my eyes were blind, I hope Fellow Daoist can forgive me. "
Wen Le's background made him accustomed to this kind of polite manner of speaking. Seeing that Gou Liang and the others were too lazy to respond, he said with a smile, "Although we aren't disciples of the Seven Sword Sect, we do have some relationship with the Immortal Elders of the Seven Sword Sect. If Fellow Daoist has something to say, there's no harm in speaking frankly. If there's anything we can help with, we definitely won't refuse. "
Zhao Tianqi was most willing to deal with this kind of refined and reasonable person. When he heard what was said, his expression relaxed, and he explained what he saw in detail.
After hearing this, even Gou Liang couldn't help but frown. He didn't dare to be careless.
It turned out that Zhao Tianqi happened to encounter two Seven Sword disciples quarreling the day before yesterday. The female disciple was so angry that she broke away from the male disciple. However, before she could run far, she was caught by Mo Xiu.
"To tell you the truth, I also went to the Little Southern Heaven to try my luck. Unfortunately, my aptitude was limited and I couldn't become a disciple of the Seven Sword Sect. However, I also lived there for a period of time and luckily recognized the two Fellow Daoists of the Seven Sword Sect. They were none other than the beloved daughter of the Imperial Sword Peak Master and her Dao Companion! "
Zhao Tianqi looked at their expressions as he spoke. When he saw that they took his words seriously as he expected, he continued, "That Mo Xiu was really fierce. I … Ai, I'm really ashamed. At that time, I was too cowardly to stop him. Every time I think about it, my heart is filled with regret and hatred. However, my words carry little weight and I don't have a way to report to the Seven Sword Sect's seniors. Fortunately, I met you guys today and solved the problem in my heart. "
Wen Le said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, there's no need to be like this. It's already very rare for you to have this kind of heart. We'll send a message right away. If this matter is true, I'm sure the Imperial Sword Peak Master will definitely thank you with a big gift. "
Zhao Tianqi was waiting for these words. Although he was a disciple of the Northern Sea Sword Sect, he still yearned for the Seven Sword Sect. It had even become a kind of obsession.
Wen Le gave him a false salute and said, "We still don't know who that Mo Xiu is. Fellow Daoist Zhao, please don't casually mention this matter to them again, lest you get into trouble."
"Many thanks for Fellow Daoist's reminder. There's no need to mention anything about gifts. If you manage to save the two Fellow Daoists, I'll have to trouble you to let me know so that I can feel at ease. That's enough."
Zhao Tianqi said.
He wasn't a fool. If he didn't trust his intuition, he wouldn't casually mention this kind of life-threatening matter to others.
There was no time to lose. Gou Liang and the other three got up and left the restaurant. They rushed to the place where Liu Xiyu and her husband were kidnapped by Mo Xiu.
On the flying sword, Qian Yi glanced at Gou Liang who was using the sect's secret technique to find the whereabouts of his martial nephew. She comforted Wen Le, "Don't worry too much. Heaven helps the worthy."
Wen Le smiled. When did Qian Yi become so polite? It seemed that it was impossible for Liu Xiyu and her husband to come back in one piece.
That's right. After being taken away by Mo Xiu for two days, the other party had already done everything they wanted to do. Although Gou Liang calculated that the two of them weren't dead, the situation wasn't optimistic.
Thinking of this, Wen Le sighed in his heart.
[Master has found them. Guess who did it?]
[… This old thing is really like a ghost that won't leave.]
Glancing at the system monitor, Gou Liang made a note of Ancestor Yun Xiao: Can't you let people fall in love properly? Is it really good to always make your presence known?!
Mo Yinchu saw his strange expression and calculated with his fingers. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It's him again. It seems that old man Yun Xiao came prepared this time."
Gou Liang stopped his sword and said to Qian Yi and Wen Le, "Don't get involved in this matter. Go back."
Qian Yi and Wen Le looked at each other. They also knew the grudges between Ancestor Yun Xiao and Gou Liang and how powerful the other party was. If they went, they would only cause trouble.
Qian Yi thought for a moment and said, "If it's him, he's most likely hiding in the Thousand Islands. That's Mo Xiu's territory. I think you know how powerful it is. However, I still have to remind you that the natural array in the Thousand Islands can restrain the lightning tribulation to a minimum. If that old monster was lucky enough to have a breakthrough in these two years, it's possible that it didn't cause a big commotion. You have to be careful. "
Gou Liang and Mo Yinchu nodded in agreement.
Following the guidance of the spiritual sword of the Seven Sword Sect, they really came to the Thousand Islands that Qian Yi mentioned.
This place was located at the extreme end of the North Sea. There were more than a thousand islands of various sizes. It was said that in ancient times, several powerful figures of Mo Xiu failed to ascend. Their bodies were broken and scattered here, forming the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
This was Mo Xiu's heaven and the hell of Tao cultivators.
The Thousand Islands' North Sea was full of poisonous fog all year round. This poison was called the "Heart Devouring Fog". Mo Xiu's inner demons could be restrained here. However, if a Tao cultivator stepped into this place, their inner demons would be aroused and they would fall into an illusory array. If they couldn't break the inner demons, only the fate of being trapped in the array was waiting for them.
This poisonous fog was already very powerful. What was worse was that this place was where many powerful figures of Mo Xiu were buried. It was a natural array. Not only could it help Mo Xiu condense the Devil Qi and restrain the lightning tribulation, but it could also restrain the cultivation of Tao cultivators and automatically suppress one's realm.
In other words, Tao cultivators of the Unification Stage could only exert the strength of the Voiding Stage here.
This was very disadvantageous for Gou Liang and Mo Yinchu, but they couldn't not make this trip.
Leisurely passing through the Heart Devouring Fog, Gou Liang said, "It's nothing special. It's just that this fog is too smelly and doesn't taste good at all …" Suddenly, he felt that there was something wrong with the person he was holding.
He turned his head and saw a golden-haired and golden-eyed Master God standing beside him, wearing a black robe and smiling at him.
It was the enlarged version of the Sword Spirit!
Gou Liang was shocked. "No way, I want to see you so much that I've become an inner demon?"
The Master God's smile deepened. He leaned over and kissed him on the lips. "Do you really miss me that much?"
Gou Liang pinched his face suspiciously. Then, like a puppy, he leaned over his neck and sniffed his scent. He stared at him and said, "If this can be faked, I'll give you a five-star rating later."
With that, he kissed the Master God. His tongue swirled in his mouth, and the delicious and unique soul power resonated with his taste buds. Gou Liang's eyes immediately curved. "So it's true!"
The Master God chuckled and stroked his face. "This fog originates from the Law of Darkness. That's why I can appear in my true form, but I can't stay here for long."
Gou Liang pinched his face and said with a smile, "Look at how domineering you are now. I can't even remember the soft and gentle you, hubby ~"
The Master God knocked his forehead in annoyance. "Are you forgetting something, hmm?"
Gou Liang grinned. "I'm just afraid that you'll be jealous. By the way, why does Yinchu have an inner demon?"
"You'll know when you see it." A trace of hesitation and unwillingness flashed through the Master God's eyes. It was so fast that Gou Liang did not notice it. He looked up at the Master God's Law that was gathering in the sky and preparing to expel him.
Gou Liang pouted and said, "Daddy Heavenly Law is calling me home for dinner again."
The Master God chuckled. "Be good. Bear with it for now. Also, don't secretly lift my Law Robe again. I've pixelated it. "
After saying this, he returned to the Heaven Defying Sword.
Gou Liang: "… Tsk, stingy."
He returned to find Mo Yinchu, who he had lost along the way. He still had a satisfied smile on his face, but when he saw the other party's situation, he suddenly froze in place.
His face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with emptiness and despair.
Gou Liang felt a pain in his heart. He flew forward to wake him up, but Mo Yinchu did not respond to his voice at all.
Gou Liang's heart ached to the extreme, and he did not know what to do. He only calmed down when the system reminded him.
[Master, do you want to use the Ultimate Empathy tool?]
Gou Liang nodded. The second the Empathy tool took effect, he took a deep breath and felt Mo Yinchu's inner demon.
The most painful memory buried deep in his heart, or rather in the Master God's heart, appeared before his eyes without reservation …
