When it comes to taking advantage of someone's misfortune and adding insult to injury, Ao Sheng is number one and no one dares to be second.
"When Taoist Immortal Gold rushed to Wang's house that day, he tried to catch Xunyang. As a result, he had already been taken away by a mysterious Immortal King-level master, and all traces related to him were erased. It was impossible to deduce his whereabouts. It seems that , that creature is very likely to be Ao Sheng." Gu Wudi said to himself.
Now that we have roughly identified the mastermind behind the ambush, the next step is to consider how to respond.
Although his true identity was known by Xun Yang's clone, the clone was already dead and turned to ashes in the Immortal King's field. With Xun Yang's strength, he was unable to transmit any information from the Immortal King's field.
In other words, up to now, Xun Yang and the Immortal King who took him away only have a "Sky Species Fuser", "Blue Moon Flame", "Chaos Halberd", and the facial features of Gu Wudi and Qingyue, and they know nothing else.
If it was the previous Gu Wudi, then he would really have no choice but to develop in a certain place. But now, he can use his body as a seed and fuse multiple seeds. The more the better. There is no need to use the Sky Seed.
His face is easy to deal with. One only needs to control and adjust the particle seeds that make up his face. For ordinary people, Gu Wudi has already surpassed common sense. There is no so-called real face. Any particle can be the real body, and any face can be the real face.
No matter how the faces of other creatures change, we can trace back to their original order of arrangement.
There is no problem with him, as he can conceal his true identity perfectly. But it is different for Qingyue. This means that the two of them should go their separate ways and cannot continue to be together, as this will expose his identity.
While Gu Wudi frowned and thought, Qingyue did not disturb him. She stood aside and waited quietly, very quietly.
To be honest, her mind was full of question marks at this moment, all about Gu Wudi's identity and the origins of that unknown strong man. She really wanted to get to the bottom of it and get the answers to these questions from him.
However, Qingyue knew that Gu Wudi must have his reasons for not wanting to speak, and asking so many questions would only cause trouble for him, so, being smart and clever, she remained silent and behaved very well.
After a long time, Gu Wudi sighed and said to Qingyue behind him: "Let's go. We can't stay here for long. One of his clones has fallen. It is estimated that he will come again soon. By then, we will be in danger."
Hearing this, Qingyue was slightly surprised.
"Clone?"
"Well, his true form is a quasi-immortal king, so he won't die that easily." Gu Wudi nodded.
"What? Is this the incarnation of a quasi-immortal king?" Qingyue felt a little numb.
What on earth was the reason that made a quasi-immortal king send out his clone to kill a low-level human being?
She looked at Gu Wudi's back thoughtfully, and her heart did not surge with the kind of storms she had imagined. Instead, she felt that this was how it should be.
How could Gu Wudi’s origin be simple if he could defeat the heir of the Supreme Palace?
"My identity should have been exposed." She followed behind Gu Wudi and said softly.
"Well, from now on, we have to go our separate ways. Walking with you will only expose my information.
However, before we go our separate ways, I will find you a backer who can handle any future crises." Gu Wudi nodded slightly.
Qingyue did not respond, but a warm feeling flowed through her heart.
If one is targeted by immortal beings and does not have a strong enough backing to protect him, it won't be long before he meets with misfortune.
Gu Wudi's actions were obviously to save her life.
"Thank you."
She bit her red lips and said thank you.
Gu Wudi shook his head: "Everything is caused by me, why should I thank you? Instead, I have implicated you. I shouldn't have stepped into this huge vortex."
The two of them didn't say anything else, and continued on their journey in silence. They passed through the teleportation array established by the powerful forces, traveled through the sky realm, and soon arrived at Da Dao Tian.
After experiencing the grand event of crowning the king, Da Dao Tian became much more prosperous and lively than before. At that time, countless cultivators flocked here from various realms of the Thirty-three Heavens, just to meet the Immortal King and participate in the feast of evolution. This was a great opportunity.
And the fact was indeed as they had imagined, the divine light from all heavens descended, the immortal kings gathered, and there were so many blessings that many of the creatures who went to the border imperial pass to watch the ceremony broke through their original realms.
After the coronation ceremony, most of the creatures left Da Dao Tian and returned to their hometowns. A small number of creatures stayed and injected vitality into this land.
As Gu Wudi and Qingyue walked along the way, all they saw was a thriving scene.
The frontier tribes stationed at the border have fought countless times and for many years with foreign countries that have repeatedly invaded Da Dao Tian. They are well aware of the importance of human resources to war. Therefore, the major forces here are very friendly to the Tianjiao, hoping that more people will rise up and protect this territory.
Walking on this vast fertile land, Gu Wudi and Qingyue felt relaxed, as if they had arrived at their second hometown.
If the world war had not occurred, this place could truly be called a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. There are too many mysterious areas and immortal relics waiting for the right people to open them.
"My hunch is correct. Dadaotian is very suitable for me. This will be the place where I will achieve enlightenment." Qingyue said.
"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance on your success and look forward to the day when you become the Fairy Qingyue." Gu Wudi replied with a smile.
"Thank you for your good words, but where are we going?"
"Go to a life restricted area." Gu Wudi pointed forward.
"Life restricted zone..."
Qingyue murmured to herself and looked in the direction of Gu Wudi's finger.
I saw a magnificent scene suspended in the distant sky ahead.
Two indescribable rivers were hanging in the void, one was pitch black and full of gloomy energy, as if it came from the netherworld of hell, and the other was brilliant golden, sacred and blazing, as if it originated from the kingdom of God.
Two completely different and opposite celestial rivers meet in the void, forming a grand "cross", which is amazing.
It hadn't really gotten close yet, and was tens of thousands of miles away, but Qingyue could still feel the terrifying pressure coming from somewhere.
"Is this... the Yin-Yang Cross restricted area within the Great Dao Realm?" Qingyue was puzzled.
"Exactly."
Gu Wudi nodded.
"The backer you're talking about... is a restricted area?" Qingyue was very surprised.
What is a restricted area? It is a forbidden area that even the Immortal King is afraid of. There are creatures who are not weaker than the Immortal King. They live in an area designated by themselves, away from the world, and do not care about worldly affairs.
Among the thirty-three vast celestial realms in the primitive ancient world, there are quite a few forbidden areas. Each one of them makes people shudder and dare not discuss it too deeply for fear of touching some taboo.
And now, Gu Wudi actually wants to take her into a famous life restricted zone, which is really unimaginable.
Qingyue's heart was beating very fast. She always felt that what she was experiencing was a bit dreamy, just like someone from the novice village who accidentally entered a high-end game.
"Don't be nervous, the restricted area won't eat people." Gu Wudi smiled.
"But the restricted area will kill people. Anyone who approaches rashly will be ruthlessly killed. Do you know any living creatures in the Yin-Yang Cross restricted area?" Qingyue asked.
"No."
Gu Wudi speaks the truth.
"If you don't know any living being, how can you approach it casually? Isn't this seeking death?" Qingyue's eyes widened.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. However, if you want to find a backer here, you must have extraordinary skills and something extraordinary that can catch the eye of the Immortal King. Otherwise, no one can do anything."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Qingyue's emotions gradually stabilized. She nodded and replied: "If in the end, I fail because of my own reasons, then I can only blame myself for not having enough potential."
"Let's go. The earlier we get in, the further away the danger will be from us." Gu Wudi called out, and then flew towards the Yin-Yang Cross River.
Qingyue followed closely behind. She was about to face the test of the Immortal King. She couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but she had a strong ability to adjust and soon returned to normal.
After crossing endless mountains and rivers, they finally got close.
The closer they got, the more shocking the Cross River above the sky became. At the same time, the unique terrifying aura of the Life Forbidden Zone spread out, which was extremely majestic and horrifying.
"Are you sure we can be safe?" Qingyue felt a little cold.
"Sure, I have some knowledge about the Cross Yin and Yang Forbidden Land, so you don't have to worry." Gu Wudi nodded.
Hearing this, Qingyue felt much more at ease.
Soon after, they approached and reached the outermost edge of the Cross Yin-Yang Forbidden Land.
"If you go any further, you will truly enter the forbidden area of the Cross Yin and Yang. I have seen some records in ancient books that some cultivators who stepped into the forbidden area were instantly reduced to ashes and wiped out. The only way to enter with a token is to save your life." Qingyue whispered, reminding Gu Wudi.
"I don't have the token, but today, we must go in." Gu Wudi looked thoughtful and then said in a decisive tone.
He knew that he could not delay any longer and had to find a backer for Qingyue. Her identity information had been leaked. Without a backer, when Xunyang came looking for her, she would be helpless.
"Buzz!"
A glowing ancient tower suddenly appeared and was held in Gu Wudi's right hand, emitting a faint immortal halo, mysterious and extraordinary.
And in his left hand, an ancient bell appeared, which was also filled with the aura of immortals.
"At this point, this is the only way." Gu Wudi said, letting Qingyue follow him.
The two of them stepped into a forbidden zone of life.
The place ahead is not desolate, but lush and green with dense vegetation. There are many living creatures, and it is full of vitality. However, these creatures are not very intelligent, and that is why they are allowed to live here.
After walking for dozens of miles, the journey was smooth and peaceful. Qingyue thought that the records in ancient books were exaggerated. However, a dark whirlwind blew up, carrying an eerie aura that made people feel chilled to the bone before they even got close.
One can imagine what would happen if one was affected by this dark wind.
Fortunately, Gu Wudi took out a disposable immortal magic weapon in advance, which was enough to block the evil wind without activating it.
On the journey ahead, there will be endless cold winds, blazing yang winds, and so on, with extremely terrifying power. Unless one is the supreme being, there is no possibility of resisting them.
Suddenly, the vegetation was interrupted and a dark river lay ahead, blocking the way for the two.
Compared to the vast Milky Way above the sky, the rivers on the earth are much smaller, but they are also wide enough so that you can't see the end at a glance.
"The real Cross Yin-Yang Forbidden Land is above the sky. It is where the core members live, and below it is where the peripheral members live. It would be great if we could go directly up there, but unfortunately we can't." Gu Wudi sighed lightly, took out a slightly rotten piece of wood from the storage magic tool, put it into the black river, and jumped up in one step.
"Come on, the outer members live at the intersection of the Taiyin River and the Taiyang River, just downstream. We can save a lot of time by riding this tree down."
Qingyue was speechless, looking at the wood floating under Gu Wudi's feet, doubting the stability of the wood. Would it suddenly sink while floating? This was the Taiyin River, and if you fell into it, you would be dead.
As if seeing her concerns, Gu Wudi explained: "This is the trunk of a sacred tree. It can resist the erosion of the power of the Taiyin. Therefore, it can float on the Taiyin River."
Chapter 120 The Lord of the Forbidden Zone
Qingyue nodded, came behind Gu Wudi, and stood on the trunk of the sacred tree.
"call!"
Suddenly, a green flame rose up around her body, holy and peaceful, like a bright green moon hanging there, blocking out the thick yin energy overflowing from the Taiyin River.
This is not her own power. How can a creature in the Dao Realm have such a level of magic power? This is the power of the Blue Moon Flame, which she has stimulated with some ancient method to protect the host.
As for Gu Wudi, the sacred tree itself has the ability to dispel negative energy. In addition, he uses his body as a seed, making him invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. He also has the blessing of two kinds of flames, so he is not afraid of the negative energy.
The two stood on the sacred tree and rode down the surging Taiyin River at a very fast speed. The wind was whistling, and occasionally they could hear inexplicable cries coming from the shore. It felt as if the monkeys' cries on both sides of the river could not withstand the boat's boating, and that it had already passed through thousands of mountains.
At the very least, it is much faster than running on land, and they don't have to guard against the lunar or solar winds that may blow at any time.
"I can't believe it. We really went deep into a life-forbidden zone." Qingyue said softly at the back. She found it incredible because the descriptions of the forbidden zone in the ancient books she had read were all "taboo" and "untouchable", which were meant to warn others not to lose their lives in vain.
But now, she has stepped into the restricted area and is approaching the depths at a very fast speed.
