Chapter 1024: How come he's alright?
“I’m glad you think of me that way.”
Gu Xitong said coldly.
Despite the lack of romantic feelings, Gu Heng could sense her sincerity.
"As for allies, I certainly won't lump you in with those epochal gods, but the secret we've discovered doesn't seem to be of much use at this stage."
"I have no idea what the Primordial Dao Ancestor wants to do with so much blood energy."
Gu Heng began to ponder the current situation.
Clearly, there are at least six million such places that secretly steal the life essence of living beings within the territory of the Immortal Dao civilization alone! What exactly does the Primordial Dao Ancestor want to do with such a huge amount of life essence?
"Perhaps, it has little to do with the Primordial Dao Ancestor."
"Given its leading position within the immortal cultivation civilization, why would it need to act secretly?"
Gu Heng remained silent, and the system's explanation was not impossible.
"The Primordial Dao Ancestor" is the supreme god of civilization, who can command the wind and rain within the immortal civilization. Anyone who shows even the slightest disrespect to the god will be exiled by the Eternal Immortal Court for the crime of "disrespecting the god".
If that's the case, why not do it openly and honestly instead of making it so mysterious?
But the Primordial Dao Ancestor is definitely involved in this!
Even if someone is causing trouble behind the scenes, they are doing so by borrowing the power of the gods. Surely they can't be unaware that their power has been taken away from them?
At the very least, the Primordial Dao Ancestor was definitely not in a slumbering state. "The problem is that it's not only the Immortal Dao civilization that has such blood pools; other civilizations certainly have quite a few as well."
Gu Heng's expression was grave: "Ninety million! Whoever is behind this scheme, it probably encompasses most of the myriad worlds!"
He wasn't this crazy before, was he?
However, waging war against all the civilizations of the heavens, and plotting under the very noses of so many civilizations...
It's really hard to say who's more insane.
I just hope this conspiracy has nothing to do with the great enemy of the era, otherwise Gu Heng will start to doubt whether he was really so wicked.
"We still have too little intelligence to draw reasonable conclusions."
Gu Xitong's voice carried a hint of apology.
"It's alright, at least we now know this place exists. We'll just be more careful in the future. But how do we get out now?"
"Xi Tong?"
Gu Heng inquired about the next steps, but Gu Xitong did not respond this time. He tried several more times, but received no reply.
"Damn, what bad luck!"
He spread his hands and could only manage a wry smile.
Losing contact at this time is truly adding insult to injury.
Xiao Bai and Su Jinxi's situations are both unknown. Gu Heng no longer cares about Pu Yunyuan's life or death; he only wants his little dragon and cat to be safe and sound.
Suddenly, from the depths of the Blood Lake, where layers of blood mist swirled and rose, came a strange sound.
Gu Heng didn't know what the commotion was, but since there was some noise, it was better than waiting here idly, so he decided to go to the other side of the Blood Lake to investigate.
Gu Heng immediately took out his Swift Boots from his system inventory. The Blood Lake was very large, and he couldn't fly, nor did he dare to wade into it rashly.
But he still has quite a few treasures he can use!
After leaving the technological civilization, Gu Heng learned that the treasures the system had given him were actually his own.
Gu Xitong was merely keeping them safe. After all, having lost all his knowledge and memories after returning to the past, how could he possibly know the uses of these magical artifacts?
Since that's the case, it's better to hand it over to our allies for safekeeping. The system didn't disappoint, at least allowing Gu Heng to use a few more items.
The Swift Boots are one of them.
The Swift Boots, a supreme treasure of martial arts civilization, are made from a fragment of the divine bone of the supreme god of civilization, "Martial Supreme Celestial Venerable." Like the "Secret Diagram of Destiny Creation," they are also treasures that carry divine power and are extremely precious.
As for why this thing ended up in his hands, Gu Heng could only assume that he had forcibly taken it. He had already mastered the use of these boots, using them with ease. Standing by the lake, Gu Heng simply took a light step, and he naturally crossed the entire blood lake.
The technique of "shrinking the earth to an inch" is indeed incredibly powerful; it can be used even in situations like this.
Without stopping for a moment, Gu Heng took out his goose-feather blade and began to walk deeper into the blood mist, approaching the source of the disturbance.
soon.
He then encountered the figure that had caused the strange movement.
It is Pu Yunyuan.
She was running desperately in one direction, her steps unsteady, as if she didn't have much strength left.
She's completely clueless, probably working herself to death without even realizing it, and she's covered in injuries, which look quite serious.
"Inspector Pu!" Gu Heng shouted, and saw Pu Yunyuan's steps come to an abrupt halt.
"Mr. Gu?"
Pu Yunyuan looked at Gu Heng, a look of shock appearing on her pale and frightened face.
She never expected that at this point, she would actually run into a face that was neither a stranger nor an acquaintance!
"What are you doing here?"
When she encountered Gu Heng, Pu Yunyuan's surprise only lasted for a moment. Soon, the pain and exhaustion overwhelmed her, but she dared not fall down and had to hold on.
"I saw the wreckage of your ship while I was on my way, and since we had met once before, I decided to come and find you."
"But I never expected that there was such a hidden world inside this place."
He had already given up hope on Pu Yunyuan, but unexpectedly, he actually encountered her. However, she fled in such a panic that she almost exhausted herself, and none of the cultivators who were protecting her were to be seen. If they hadn't met with misfortune, they were at least staying behind to cover her escape.
The situation is still terrible.
"Heh, Young Master Gu has really gotten himself involved this time."
"You shouldn't have come to me."
Pu Yunyuan was somewhat touched, but felt more ashamed. She was unlucky, while Gu Heng was too kind and thus suffered an undeserved disaster.
She didn't want to drag Gu Heng down with her when she died, since they were leaning on each other as they faced death, which wasn't sentimental at all!
"Let's not talk about that now, we're already here."
"Come with me first, there's a place that'll be better, the smell here is awful." Gu Heng pointed in the direction he came from.
Returning to the Blood Lake is definitely the best option; at least it's "clean" enough.
"It's just the taste..."
Pu Yunyuan muttered to herself, "Even at a time like this, all you're thinking about is complaining about the taste?"
It's a miracle we weren't killed by this blood mist...
Pu Yunyuan's eyes narrowed suddenly!
and many more!
Gu Heng doesn't seem to have any defensive magic treasures on him, so how is he able to remain unharmed in this blood mist that can even corrode the flesh and bones of Nirvana Realm cultivators?
She is currently relying mainly on the defensive magical artifacts on her body to prevent herself from being completely corroded by this terrifying blood mist.
Pu Yunyuan looked at herself. The dress had been blessed by the Daoist magic of several unique beings from all realms, which was why it remained intact and uncorrupted in the blood mist, but even that had its limits.
That is to say, she comes from a distinguished family, has a deep foundation, and possesses a considerable number of protective treasures; otherwise, with her meager strength, she would have been gone long ago.
But what about Gu Heng?
He appears to have absolutely no protective magic weapon.
Could it be that Gu Heng's physical strength alone is enough to withstand this blood mist?
