Chapter 1387 The Only Gate of Life
"good."
A faint white halo approached, and the young man said calmly, "Back then, some people also tried to use magical artifacts to fly away from the ground to take refuge, but unfortunately..."
He shrugged. "They all failed."
Gu Xia understood.
It means that doing it this way won't work.
She has truly witnessed the saying that "the righteous are one foot high, but the evil are ten feet high."
I must say, it's actually quite fitting for the occasion.
Gu Xia felt the spiritual energy surging within his dantian and felt inexplicably eager to try it out, but he still honestly said, "I just swung my sword several times, and although it made quite a commotion, it doesn't seem to have touched the essence of this thing."
"If what you just said is true," a sudden thought flashed through her mind, and she tentatively asked, "Could it be that this magical artifact actually has a weak point, but I just didn't look in the right direction before?"
The young man looked at her with a smile.
"Well said."
Seeing this, Gu Xia also felt more confident, it seemed that her thinking was correct.
However, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, what kind of habits do these seniors have? Can't we just say what we want to say? Why do we have to be so mysterious and make her guess?
Gu Xia was the last person who wanted to use her brain; all she wanted to do right now was to grab her sword and smash this godforsaken place to pieces.
Seeing that the other person didn't intend to speak again, but instead looked at her with encouraging eyes, Gu Xia lowered her head and said listlessly, "Senior, the blood below has already risen by half. If you don't tell me soon, I'm afraid I'll really just die here."
"We might even be neighbors for a while then. That would be a life-or-death bond, wouldn't it?"
Gu Xia spoke with an air of seriousness, her face full of innocence.
"Cough cough cough-"
The young man was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say such a thing, and couldn't help but cough repeatedly.
Who taught this brat?
Is this how the Taiyi Sect teaches its disciples?
Even a sword cultivator shouldn't let their child become illiterate. Is this how she uses the term "sworn brotherhood"?
Annihilation Sword crouched in the corner, unable to suppress a sneer.
what.
As a result, I accidentally aggravated two symmetrical bumps on my head.
He grinned, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
That wicked Gu Xia!!
Gu Xia blinked and gave a sly smile.
Seeing her like this, the young man calmed himself down and guessed what she was thinking. He chuckled and said, "You, you."
He nodded slightly to Gu Xia, cleared his throat, and said, "It's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you, but the things you figure out yourself will be of great benefit to your future cultivation. Besides, I can see that with your intelligence, as long as you calm your mind and focus, it will be easy for you to guess the right direction."
"Little girl," the young man said gently, "your aura is too agitated. Remember, only with a calm mind can one achieve clarity. Don't be too hasty."
Although he wasn't quite sure what had happened to Gu Xia, he could tell that her aura was rapidly increasing.
It's good to improve one's cultivation level, but he had never seen anyone improve like Gu Xia. Startled, he couldn't help but offer some pointers.
I was afraid she might overdo it and leave some damage to the foundation.
Since their meeting was predestined, he naturally couldn't pretend he hadn't seen anything and patiently offered guidance.
"In the path of cultivation, one must first examine one's own heart, then seek the Dao. If even your mind is in turmoil, how can you talk about seeking the Dao?"
The young man's words were like a gentle stream, making Gu Xia feel her mind clearer.
She paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that the other person would be so patient in reminding her, even though they were just strangers.
This is truly... hard not to be moved.
*
Gu Xia's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but her expression became even more wilted. "Thank you for your kindness, senior. But you don't know this, senior. If I continue my cultivation for a while longer, the cultivation world will be destroyed, and my house will be blown up... Oh no, my house has already blown up!!"
She also wanted to calm down, but she had to be given the chance.
The young man was taken aback. "Huh?"
He had been trapped here and was on the verge of disappearing, so naturally he had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
After hearing Gu Xia briefly recount the changes that had occurred in the cultivation world during this period, he felt quite unwell.
Only a few hundred years have passed, has the outside world become this crazy?
What sins has the cultivation world committed to incur divine punishment, that it must endure such a calamity?
No wonder Gu Xia moves so fast and decisively; no one could stay calm in that situation.
He hesitated for a few seconds, then glanced down; the blood had already spread to two-thirds of the way up.
The Annihilation Sword also stopped its self-imposed isolation and retreated to Gu Xia's side, frowning as it stared intently at the scene below.
If there's really no time to spare, he should be able to hold them off temporarily if he goes all out.
But if they want to break through here and fight their way out, they'll have to rely on Gu Xia; he can only assist from the sidelines at most.
The young man knew that in times of emergency, one should act expediently, but he still beckoned to Gu Xia, signaling her to look over together, "It is fate that we met. Before we disappear, there are a few words for you to remember."
"Everything in the world has two sides. Nothing is perfect and without any flaws. If you want to go out, you might as well think carefully about where you would start if you were in their shoes."
Duality?
Gu Xia looked down and saw a sea of blood churning everywhere. As the water level rose, the skeletons were gradually submerged and buried again in the dark depths.
Only the skull we saw at the beginning was still floating on the water, reflecting a bright light amidst the shocking blood-red landscape.
But no matter how you look at it, from any angle, or from any other perspective, it seems to be nothing more than an ordinary sea of blood that simply wanted to kill her.
But the other person is a senior, so surely they wouldn't be so malicious as to deliberately fool her, right?
Gu Xia scratched her hair, staring intently at the scene. Her initially agitated emotions gradually calmed down, and she couldn't help but lean forward slightly to observe cautiously.
Gu Xia wholeheartedly agreed with what the young man said. She didn't believe that anything could be completely flawless, even a magical artifact would inevitably have its relative weaknesses.
The only way for me to get out is to find it and break it.
Gu Xia's brain was working at lightning speed.
If that's the case, then the Great Demon, as the owner of the magical artifact, must know this best. In order to prevent the person imprisoned from finding it, he would naturally try every means to hide it.
So what is the most suitable place that will not be discovered by others, and ideally, one that will make people keep their distance?
Once her chaotic thoughts were sorted out, a flash of inspiration struck her. Gu Xia blinked a few times and her gaze fell downwards again.
She was now hovering at the very top of the space, standing on her sword. Ignoring the ever-approaching threat of blood as time passed, Gu Xia suddenly seemed to understand something.
She had been caught in some kind of misconception.
The answer has always been right in front of her; it was just that appearances deceived her.
To borrow a wise saying, there is a reason why the most dangerous place is the safest place.
If this thing truly has a flaw, it naturally wouldn't be something people would easily think of.
If she were in her shoes, she would probably hide it in the most unlikely, dangerous, and least likely place.
If that's the case, then what in this space could be more dangerous than what's below?
A boundless sea of blood; touching it means certain death.
Anyone who gets infected will inevitably be turned into a pool of blood.
How could anyone associate a flaw with this thing?
In other words, even if someone did guess this, they probably wouldn't be able to delve into it.
joke?
If you touch this thing, you'll be turned into an army of bones.
Gu Xia hissed softly, "I understand."
The real way to break the deadlock is hidden beneath this.
As for the Blood Sea, which seems to pose the greatest threat, it is indeed dangerous, but it is also the only way out among all the dead ends.
So now the question is...
How could she get inside this thing unharmed and then force her way out?
It will kill people, right?
