Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 44: Thousand Wastelands and Nine Regions
The moment he raised his head, Gu Xiaoxing saw that it was a man, who was extremely handsome, with a strand of black hair floating in his long snow-white hair, which made him look even more weird.
However, at this instant of glance, Gu Xiaoxing felt as if his head exploded with a "bang", as if the size of this "god" was too large, so large that Gu Xiaoxing's eyes could not contain this figure, and instantly bloodshot appeared all over his eyes, and his eyeballs bulged, as if they were about to explode in an instant.
But at this moment, the Sanyang Spirit Refining Furnace moved slightly, and one of the furnace feet pressed Gu Xiaoxing's head heavily to the ground. Gu Xiaoxing then felt relieved, and at the same time, the roar of the fifth elder rang in his mind.
"Boy...are you crazy? Do you want to die?"
At the same time, Dongfang Yu suddenly turned his head and looked up at the sky, with anger in his eyes.
The white-haired man frowned, but couldn't resist Dongfang Yu's gaze, and finally closed his eyes and remained silent.
In an instant, it seemed as if the stars had moved, and all the pressure on Gu Xiaoxing suddenly eased. He blinked, his eyes turned white, and he came to a snow-white world for some reason. In front of him, a huge palace stood, like a leisurely fairyland.
"Xiaoxing!" Dongfang Yu helped Gu Xiaoxing up.
The moment he stood up, Gu Xiaoxing caught a glimpse of a figure and was immediately startled. He subconsciously took Dongfang Yu's hand and pulled her behind him, and asked in a trembling voice: "You... who are you?"
Dongfang Yu was slightly stunned. She could feel that Gu Xiaoxing was trembling with fear, but he still protected her behind him. Her heart suddenly felt warm, and her feelings deepened. The little hand that was being held couldn't help but tighten.
In the center of the palace, the white-haired man stood there with his eyes closed. In response to Gu Xiaoxing's question, he opened his eyes and looked.
With just one glance, Gu Xiaoxing's scalp immediately went numb, his hair stood on end, and the fear in his heart was greater than anything else. He hid behind Dongfang Yu and said tremblingly, "Si... Siyu, who... is this person? It's... too scary!"
Gu Xiaoxing's true useless nature was exposed, which made Dongfang Yu glare at him unhappily. Just as he was about to speak, the white-haired man spoke first.
The white-haired man looked like a Taoist immortal, giving people a sense of divine purity, but at this moment, he smacked his lips in a way that was not in line with his temperament, "Tsk, trash."
This strong sense of disobedience made Gu Xiaoxing stunned for a moment, and even his fear was reduced a little. Although he didn't dare to speak, he dared to angrily scold in his heart, "You are useless, your whole family is useless!"
However, the white-haired man seemed to have heard what Gu Xiaoxing was thinking. He stepped forward and said calmly, "Dongfang Yu, get out of the way. I will kill him."
Gu Xiaoxing was immediately frightened again, but fortunately there was Dongfang Yu in front of him.
"Dongfang Yexuan!" Dongfang Yu glared at the white-haired man, looking a little angry.
The white-haired man stopped, turned his head unhappily, and smacked his lips again.
"Stay away from me!" Dongfang Yu became more and more demanding.
The white-haired man was not angry at all. He waved his hand and disappeared, leaving only the sound he made before disappearing.
"Tsk, trash."
The corner of Gu Xiaoxing's mouth twitched. Although he didn't dare to refute anything, the image of the pale man in his mind, who was as tall as a god, collapsed instantly, as if he was cast into the mortal world, and all his immortal spirit was gone.
However, as the other party left, Gu Xiaoxing also breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having that kind of heart-pounding throbbing feeling. Then, he looked at the woman next to him, full of doubts, and asked, "Your name... is Dongfang Yu?"
Dongfang Yu nodded.
Gu Xiaoxing wanted to say something, but Dongfang Yu took his hand and said, "Xiaoxing, walk with me."
Gu Xiaoxing let her lead the way and walk forward. In this white world, the snow was still falling. There was not only the Snow White Palace sitting in the center, but also the Jade Tower, the Fairy Garden, and the Divine Pond. The two of them walked through the Jade Tower, the Misty Divine Pond, and into the Fairy Garden. Every exotic flower and tree in the garden seemed to be carved out of snow-white ice crystals, yet swaying and drifting, as if they had really stepped into a fairyland.
Snowflakes fell on their bodies. As they walked, their hair turned white. When they reached a curved bridge of ice and snow, Dongfang Yu stopped and looked back at Gu Xiaoxing. But when he saw him reaching out to brush off the snowflakes on his head, he became unhappy and immediately glared at him, pretending to be fierce and said, "Don't brush off the snowflakes. This is fine!"
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless and put down his hand. Dongfang Yu then smiled gently and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask..."
Gu Xiaoxing naturally had many questions to ask, and asked without hesitation: "Just now you said the East...?"
He had only said halfway when his eyes suddenly widened. He wanted to say the name, but strangely found that there seemed to be some obstruction and he couldn't say it at all. It was very weird.
"Dongfang Yexuan." Dongfang Yu didn't have this problem and said directly, "My father!"
Gu Xiaoxing actually guessed it, because the two of them looked 50% alike, so they were either brother and sister or father and daughter. But she was still shocked. She never thought that "Senior Brother Du", who was also from Chaiyuan, would have such a terrifying father. She still had many questions in her mind, but then Dongfang Yu spoke himself.
"Xiao Xing, this world is huge. There are nine regions in the Thousand Wastelands, and the Little Wasteland is just one of them..."
Dongfang Yu held Gu Xiaoxing's hand tightly, and they just stood on the curved bridge, looking into the distance, speaking slowly.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at her and said that there were thousands of places like the Small Wasteland. She said that above the Thousand Wastelands were the Nine Heavenly Realms. She said that she came from the Xuantian Realm, also known as the Xuantian Continent. She said...
Dongfang Yu said a lot, but it sounded like a fairy tale to Gu Xiaoxing. He didn't even know how big a small wasteland was, let alone the Thousand Wastelands. Even above that, the Thousand Wastelands combined were not as big as one of the Nine Realms.
Dongfang Yu also said that the reason she was sent to the small wasteland and entered the Soul-Devouring Sect "by chance" under a pseudonym was to avoid her enemies.
As for who the enemy was, Dongfang Yu did not elaborate, but Gu Xiaoxing knew that the other party must be unimaginably powerful. The enemy harmed the Dongfang family and even her mother. In the end, she hid in a small wasteland, while her father Dongfang Yexuan set out alone to seek revenge.
And now that her revenge has been taken, it's time for her to go home.
Having said this, Dongfang Yu fell silent, pursed her lips gently, as if she was recalling the past and thinking of her mother. There was sadness and pain in her eyes.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at her, not knowing what to say. In fact, Gu Xiaoxing didn't say much from the beginning. Most of the time he just listened quietly because everything she said was so unfamiliar.
She had an amazing background, coming from the lofty Xuantian Realm, while Gu Xiaoxing was just a young man from a mountain village. For some reason, even though he was holding her hand at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing felt inexplicably distant from her.
The Du Siyu in my mind is gone. The one standing in front of me now is Dongfang Yu, a person who is from a completely different world from Gu Xiaoxing.
"Xuantian Realm...is it very far away?" Gu Xiaoxing finally spoke.
Dongfang Yu was startled, nodded, and said, "It's very far, so far that you may never be able to reach it in your lifetime."
Gu Xiaoxing was silent again.
However, at this moment, Dongfang Yu suddenly hugged him and said softly, "But it doesn't matter, I will come back to find you, wait for me... for sixty years, okay?"
Feeling the woman's violently trembling body, Gu Xiaoxing was shocked and woke up.
Does it make any difference whether she is Du Siyu or Dongfang Yu?
No! She will always be Senior Brother Du from Chaiyuan!
The one who looks cold and charming, but is actually unreliable, likes to show off, is a little bit treacherous, but is easy to bully at times...
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly understood and raised his hand to comfort her gently.
Dongfang Yu's trembling body froze, and she felt a big hand patting her strange part again and again. Her pretty face turned red, and she couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaoxing strangely, and whispered, "Father is still watching!"
Gu Xiaoxing's big hand also froze, then slowly moved upwards and placed on Dongfang Yu's waist. After all, he was afraid that if he bullied the younger one, he would be punished by the older one.
"Tsk, trash."
Suddenly, Dongfang Yexuan's voice came from somewhere. The tone of the voice was obviously indifferent, but Gu Xiaoxing heard a great mockery in it and was immediately speechless.
Do I have to continue spanking your daughter in front of you to not be considered a waste?
However, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't afford to offend this great god, so he could only pretend not to hear him.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing felt pain and cried out, "Ouch!" Then he covered his head and asked unhappily , "What are you doing?"
It turned out that Dongfang Yu had pulled out a hair of Gu Xiaoxing. You know, the stronger the body, the tougher the hair, and the more painful it will be when it is pulled out. With the strength of Gu Xiaoxing's Sanyang Alchemy Body, this was no less than being stabbed by a long needle.
Dongfang Yu ignored him, pulled out a strand of black hair from her head , and then intertwined her long hair with Gu Xiaoxing's long hair. She twisted the hair quickly with her slender jade fingers, and soon made a strange knot with the two strands of hair.
"Hurry, offer a drop of your heart's blood!" Dongfang Yu said hopefully.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Dongfang Yu suspiciously and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Blood from the heart! Even a drop less can hurt your vitality.
Dongfang Yu glared at him directly and threatened: “Hurry up!”
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to force a drop of blood out of his heart. Even with this one drop missing, Gu Xiaoxing felt as if he had lost ten pounds.
Dongfang Yu also sacrificed a drop, and controlled it to merge into the hair knot together with Gu Xiaoxing's drop. Then he kept making hand gestures, and finally, the two drops of heart blood blended together just beat like a heart, and then completely dissipated into nothingness.
But Gu Xiaoxing inexplicably had a feeling, as if there was a thread connecting him and Dongfang Yu, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's going on?"
Dongfang Yu's face was slightly pale, but he showed joy. He said, "In Xuantian Territory, there is a secret method called "Knotting Heart". When two people perform it successfully, they will have a feeling that can never be erased. In this way, no matter how long it takes, no matter where you are, I can find you!"
Then, Dongfang Yu left...
When Gu Xiaoxing came to his senses, he was still in Shiling Peak, still in Chaiyuan, still pressed under the alchemy furnace. Everything before seemed like a dream, but the "line" that only he could see, stretching into the distance, long and seemingly endless, was telling him again.
Everything is true!
