Chapter 755: Those who should have died
Gu Xiu's unusual behavior caught Jiang Ruochu's attention. She walked over and followed Gu Xiu's gaze to glance at the paintings. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
"Who are these people here?" Gu Xiu asked.
Jiang Ruochu was surprised: "The Supreme Beings of the Heavenly Crafts Holy Land, you should know this."
"Then these people..." Gu Xiu pursed his lips: "Are they still alive?"
living?
Jiang Ruochu shook his head without hesitation: "Of course they can't be alive. The people mentioned above have been dead for at least thousands of years, and the oldest one died fifty thousand years ago. How could they still be alive?"
"It's really impossible for him to be alive?" Gu Xiu frowned.
"No way."
Jiang Ruochu answered affirmatively, "After all, the Tiangong Holy Land is the world's number one weapon-refining sect. It has existed for who knows how many years. For example, my master once came to the Tiangong Holy Land to pay homage to the most recent one who died two thousand years ago. It's impossible that he is still alive."
As he was talking, Jiang Ruochu noticed that Gu Xiu's brows were still tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
In doubt.
Gu Xiu said, "I've seen a few of these people before."
"Seen?"
"Yes." Gu Xiu nodded: "Not long ago."
As soon as these words left her mouth, a chilling wind blew past, making Jiang Ruochu's scalp tingle. She looked at Gu Xiu in disbelief: "You...what did you say?"
"Due to some coincidences, I once saw a very special secret room in the Tiangong Holy Land through my soul. There were many people in that secret room, and many of them were people whose portraits were left here." Gu Xiu spoke with a serious expression.
Back then, when Gu Xiu was taking the Jiuxiao Lingxi Crystal from the upper level of the Blood Shackles Tower in the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty, he encountered the tactics of the Tiangong Holy Land. The other party wanted to use the soul of the former Tiangong Holy Land prodigy as a bait to kill him, but Gu Xiu used the power of the Purple Mansion to follow the clues and took a look at the secret room palace.
At that time, Gu Xiu discovered that there were several people in the secret room.
It seems like he is someone who should have died a long time ago.
But after all, she didn't know much about the predecessors before the Tiangong Holy Land, and her impression of them was not very deep. Although she had some doubts, she didn't delve into it further.
but now.
Only after seeing the words of the supreme masters of Tiangong Holy Land hung on this wall could Gu Xiu be sure.
These were the people I saw at that time!
"This... How is this possible..." Jiang Ruochu was incredulous. "All of them are already dead. Even when they fell, there were visions of heavenly mournful songs and the collapse of the supreme statue. This can't be fake..."
"Is it possible to conceal the truth?" Gu Xiu asked.
"According to common sense, this is impossible." Jiang Ruochu thought for a moment and said:
"Before the Heavenly Dao was sealed, the Supreme Being died and the Dao disappeared, which caused the Heavenly Song of Sorrow and the collapse of the Supreme Being's statue. I have never heard of any other trick that could deceive the Heavenly Dao and cause the Heavenly Song of Sorrow to appear."
"Even though the methods of the Supreme Immortal Puppets of the Three Immortal Islands allowed them to live beyond the ten thousand years limit of the Supreme Realm, they were unable to trigger the Heavenly Song of Sorrow. Because in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, they are still alive. Although it is not allowed, it is still recognized that they are still alive."
"As for what you said about people who died, even those who appeared in the Heavenly Song of Sorrow, still being alive in this world, that's impossible."
"Now that the Heavenly Dao has been sealed, phenomena like the Heavenly Song of Sorrow will no longer occur. That's still possible, but before the Heavenly Dao was sealed, such a thing would have been absolutely impossible."
"unless……"
Jiang Ruochu paused briefly at this point, and Gu Xiu pressed on, "Unless what?"
"Unless they haven't lived for so long, but..." Jiang Ruochu pursed his lips and said four words:
"Resurrection from the dead!"
Resurrection from the dead?
Gu Xiu’s eyelids twitched.
There are many mysteries in this world. He is a man who has wasted all his cultivation after fighting in the forbidden land for five hundred years, but he can still live a second life now. He was even able to experience a glance that lasted for ten thousand years, and he could see that anything can happen in this world.
but……
There is one thing that cannot be violated.
That is life and death.
An ancient sage once said: The sun and the moon will return to their former state, but I will be gone and no longer shine.
This means that the sun and the moon go through cycles, and the weeds will grow again, but once a person dies, he or she cannot be reborn into the world. This itself is the irreversibility of life and death.
Even after death, if the remaining soul breaks into pieces and turns into a ghost, even if it cultivates to the level of Ghost Emperor, it is still impossible for it to come back to life.
died.
It means death.
This is the boundary between life and death, and no one can cross it.
According to common sense, it is impossible for the Tiangong Holy Land to master this ability to transcend the boundary between life and death.
but……
Gu Xiu thought again of the immortal puppets and Dark Window Supremes he had killed in the Chiyun Divine Dynasty. After those people were killed by Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu had seen their faces, but he did not recognize any of them without exception, and none of them had any storage rings or the like on them.
He was surprised at that time.
Although there are not too few supreme beings in this world, they are still limited in number. Most of the contemporary supreme beings are actually more or less famous. You may not know one or two of them, but it is impossible that you really cannot recognize any of them with so many supreme beings.
This is not reasonable.
It seems now.
Anyou, I'm afraid he has really mastered some kind of technique to bring the dead back to life.
Resurrect the Supreme who had long been dead and make him a part of the Dark Window?
If that's the case...
"If Anyou really has mastered this ability, then their strength has probably far exceeded many people's imagination." After listening to Gu Xiu's analysis, Jiang Ruochu's face also became serious:
"I will immediately pass the news back to the sect and Tiance Mansion."
"Whether our speculation is true or false, the hidden window should not be underestimated. We need to be extra vigilant at this time."
Gu Xiu nodded, agreeing with what he said.
But he also thought of more things in his mind.
This included the fact that the supreme beings in the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty did not have any storage rings on them.
This has always been a question in Gu Xiu's mind.
Although he later speculated that those people might not want to reveal their identities, so they didn't even wear storage rings before taking action.
This reason seems to make some sense at first glance.
But we can't go into it further.
I just don't know if there are any other secrets here.
"Okay, I've sent back all your speculations. The Tiance Mansion replied that they will pay attention to this matter, but it may take some time to investigate." Not long after, Jiang Ruochu walked back and took a look at the Tiangong Holy Land, where there were no other clues left.
"Where are you going next?"
"What's the current situation of the demon clan?" Gu Xiu asked.
"For now, it's relatively stable." Jiang Ruochu replied, "Although the demon tribe launched a sudden and full-scale attack on Zhongzhou this time, Tiance Mansion has always been on guard against the demon tribe. Aside from the initial tense situation, the battle has now reached a stalemate. No one in Zhongzhou wants the demon tribe to invade, so it's relatively united."
"What is the purpose of the demon clan? What do they want to do by attacking Zhongzhou?" Gu Xiu asked again.
He was indeed curious about this.
The demon clan is adjacent to the South Gate of Zhongzhou. In the eyes of the various sects in Zhongzhou, the demon clan is actually as threatening as the Beiming, or even more threatening than the Beiming Demon Realm. Compared with the Beiming where each sect acts independently, the demon clan is more united, and the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom they have formed is extremely powerful. They have invaded Zhongzhou several times and committed countless murders.
Naturally.
The Tiance garrison at Nanmen Pass is actually the place with the largest number of troops.
Even the demon clan calls Nanmen Pass not Nanmen Pass, but Nantianmen, which is the place where the heavenly soldiers and generals are stationed.
The demons are not fools, so they naturally cannot be unaware of how great the risk is for them to invade Zhongzhou.
But they did it anyway.
Then there must be a reason why it is worth taking the risk.
"The Ten Thousand Demons Nation said that the Heavenly Dao has been sealed, and opportunities in this world will naturally be obtained by those who are destined. There is naturally no need for them, the demon race, to hide in a corner. They want to take over the rich land of Zhongzhou and replenish enough resources." Jiang Ruochu replied.
Gu Xiu was surprised: "Is that all?"
"At least that's what they said." Jiang Ruochu shook his head:
"Of course, no one believes this. Everyone knows that the demons have their own motives, but no one knows what they are yet. Moreover, the Tiance Mansion cannot wait until they have thoroughly investigated their motives, so they can only send people to resist the demons."
"But fortunately, although the demon tribe's invasion was sudden, the Tiance Mansion was well prepared and has not encountered any problems for the time being. Currently, the two sides are in a stalemate at the South Gate Pass, and neither can do anything to the other for the time being."
After hearing this, Gu Xiu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Since Nanmenguan is only in a stalemate for the time being, I plan to go to the Burial Immortal Valley next."
"Burial Valley of Immortals?" Jiang Ruochu was surprised.
"Yes." Gu Xiu nodded and said, "Burial Immortal Valley is one of the goals of my trip to Zhongzhou. I once promised a senior that after arriving in Zhongzhou, I would go to the Burial Immortal Valley to meet up with him. Since the demon clan and Tiance Mansion are still in a stalemate, it doesn't matter whether I go or not, so I plan to go to the Burial Immortal Valley next time to take a look."
When he was in the Eastern Wasteland, Gu Xiu received help from an old drunkard.
The other party has only one request.
That is to let Gu Xiu go to the Burial Valley of Immortals. According to the original plan, he was going to the Burial Valley of Immortals after leaving the Eastern Wasteland, but because the previous space crack sent him to the North Sea, the trip to the Burial Valley of Immortals had to be temporarily put on hold.
But now that he has come to Zhongzhou, the Tiangong Holy Land is deserted, and the demon invasion is temporarily at a stalemate, then he should indeed fulfill the previous agreement.
Head to the Immortal Burial Valley!
Jiang Ruochu hesitated: "If you want to go to the Immortal Burial Valley... I'm afraid I can't go with you."
Without waiting for Gu Xiu to ask, Jiang Ruochu explained, "I am a disciple of Qixia Mountain. I once swore an oath that no disciple of Qixia Mountain would go near the Burial Immortal Valley. Although the Heavenly Dao has been sealed and the oath has been completely invalidated, I am afraid I still need to avoid it."
"It's okay, I was just planning to go alone." Gu Xiu was not surprised at all.
Talk about it.
Qixia Mountain's status is actually not weaker than Tianyuan Sword Sect. Like Tianyuan Sword Sect, they have many rules. Although Gu Xiu is not sure what concerns Qixia Mountain has about the Burial Valley, since Jiang Ruochu said so, he did not intend to get to the bottom of it.
Besides, what he said was indeed the truth.
Jiang Ruochu followed him around. Although he had an expert as his assistant who could help him solve some problems, Gu Xiu was actually not used to having Jiang Ruochu by his side all the time.
Perhaps it was because of his habit of being alone in the forbidden area for five hundred years, or perhaps it was because of the agreement between Gu Xiu and the old drunkard that he didn't want more people to participate. Compared to Jiang Ruochu following him, Gu Xiu was actually more accustomed to traveling alone, feeling relaxed and comfortable. Moreover, he had three masks, and without anyone else around him, it would be more convenient for him to move.
No hesitation.
Later that day, Gu Xiu said goodbye and set off.
Before leaving, Jiang Ruochu called out to Gu Xiu, "You've already used up your One Red Maple Leaf before, so I'll give you another one this time."
"Thank you!" Gu Xiu did not refuse and took the red maple leaf from the other party generously.
"Don't thank me. Although I won't be going to the Burial Immortal Valley with you this time, I will go in the direction of the Burial Immortal Valley. Since I said that I plan to travel the world with you, I naturally can't go alone. So I will wait for you outside the Burial Immortal Valley in advance. Once you understand the situation in the Burial Immortal Valley, I will go with you."
"it is good."
"Then...see you later?"
"See you later!"
Gu Xiu clasped his fists, then turned around and left this holy land of heaven without any more attachment.
Head to your next destination.
Immortal Burial Valley!
Or……
Mo Han Tower!
only……
When Gu Xiu left the Tiangong Holy Land and headed towards the Burial Valley.
At this moment.
In the tangled forest in the direction of Gu Xiu's advance, a figure was lying on the ground covered in blood. He looked at the rising sun in the sky and muttered to himself:
"I……"
"Am I really going to die here?"
