Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 66: Lovesickness
At an unknown distance from the Small Wasteland, there is a continent called Xuantian Continent, also known as the Xuantian Domain. Compared with it, the Small Wasteland is just a small place.
In the center of Xuantian Continent, there is an ice lake, or you can say an ice sea, because it is so huge, stretching for tens of millions of miles. If you stand at the endless sky and look down, it is like a flawless gem inlaid in the center of Xuantian Continent.
In the center of this icy sea, stands a vast snow-white palace, which is no less than ten thousand feet high. It is probably no more than this size of a real palace in heaven.
At this moment, above the palace in heaven, there was a figure standing. She was wearing a glossy long skirt, long black hair, and a strand of snow-white hair was flying in the air. She looked like a fairy in the sky at this height.
Dongfang Yu looked into the distance, following the endless "line", as if she saw the longing, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Dongfang Yu was very happy at this moment because Gu Xiaoxing missed her again.
In fact, Dongfang Yu did not tell Gu Xiaoxing all about the secret method, but had a little trick up his sleeve.
The knot of love, also known as the knot of love or the love knot, is an ancient secret method that she learned from a piece of tortoise shell. The tortoise shell records that in ancient times, if immortals became Taoist couples, there were no extravagant vows of love or promises to each other, nor were there any talks of worshiping heaven and earth, only the knot of love; there was no need for vows to test the heart, nor for heaven and earth to bear witness, only the "thread" that connected them forever.
As for Dongfang Yu’s little thought, it was that this ancient secret method had a mental method. With this mental method, no matter how far apart they were, he could feel the other person’s thoughts through that “line”.
“Hmph, if he learns this method and knows that I’m thinking about him, I wonder how proud he will be…!” Dongfang Yu firmly believed that Gu Xiaoxing must not be allowed to know about this.
However, when she thought that Gu Xiaoxing missed her more and more recently, her heart was filled with sweetness. Then, Dongfang Yu's eyes became firm, and finally she looked into the distance and turned away.
If someone could sense Dongfang Yu's cultivation, they would certainly find that she had already reached the perfection of foundation building at this moment, and that kind of aura was much stronger than that of immortal foundation building...
…
Inside the Foundation Building Mountain, under an extremely large stone pillar, there are countless flying swords connected together, intertwining with each other to form a sword formation, which is none other than the Tiangang Sword Formation of the Sword Controlling Sect.
The Tiangang Sword Formation was originally formed by seven people, but at this moment there were fourteen people surrounding the field, forming two Tiangang Sword Formations, one inside and one outside. In the center of the sword formation, stood a young man, who was Zhou Bingding from the Soul-Devouring Sect.
This scene seemed a bit weird. Zhou Bingding in the formation was obviously only at the Qi Condensation level, but it took a lot of fanfare to mobilize fourteen Foundation Establishment cultivators to form two sword formations at the same time to trap him.
However, Zhou Bingding no longer had that kind of idle mood at the moment, but frowned slightly. Obviously, facing the fourteen foundation-building people forming a formation at the same time, even he would find it difficult to break out for a while. Looking at the little girl who had already started to build the foundation in the distance, he sighed and simply did not waste his energy to force a breakthrough, but began to wait for something.
At first glance, Zhou Bingding did not look like he was standing in a sword formation, but more like he was standing in a garden indifferently. Time passed slowly, and even if a flying sword suddenly attacked him, he would easily deflect it with a raise of his hand. The sword formation formed by fourteen Foundation Establishment cultivators could not do anything to a Qi Condensation cultivator!
The two sides remained in a stalemate, and no one knew how long had passed, until Zhou Bingding in the formation suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, a smile gradually formed at the corners of his mouth, and then he looked at those who were building the foundation with a mischievous look.
The foundation-building practitioners of the Sword Controlling Sect were stunned at first; the other party’s smile made them uneasy.
"Look, what is that?"
A foundation-building cultivator was suddenly startled and pointed into the distance.
Everyone looked at the same time and found that there were dozens of golden lights coming at them with an astonishing speed. They came close in a few blinks of an eye and crashed directly into the foundation-building practitioners.
Immediately, several people were knocked back by the golden light and vomited blood. Two people were pierced through the chest and one was pierced through the head, dying instantly!
Although several people reacted quickly and dodged, more golden light immediately hit them. For a moment, there were screams everywhere. As the golden light continued to flash, people who had established their foundations fell one after another rapidly. In the end, only two strong men who had established their spirit foundations were still struggling to resist, but faced with more and more golden light, the flying swords surrounding them were all swept away, or even shattered by the golden light.
Just when they were in despair, there was a terrifying force sweeping across the eight directions. A flying sword cut through the sky and instantly appeared in front of the two Sword-controlling Sect foundation builders who were in desperate situation. The two were startled and saw that the flying sword instantly pierced into a ray of golden light. In the golden light, the golden beetle that even the two spirit foundation builders could not cut down was actually pierced through by the flying sword.
"It's worthy of being a magic weapon. These corpse worms in the Qi Condensation stage are still a little inferior." Zhou Bingding spoke slowly. He raised his feet and stepped on the countless falling flying swords. He walked forward step by step. Those who were flying the swords died, and the sword formation was naturally broken.
As Zhou Bingding spoke, the golden beetles did not attack again, but flew behind him one after another, flapping their wings and waiting for .
In the distance, Xu Qianxing's small body exuded a powerful cultivation fluctuation. He frowned as he looked at Zhou Bingding and the bugs and said, "Soul Devouring Bugs? Are you from the Soul Devouring Sect?"
The two soul-building masters of the Sword Controlling Sect breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and quickly retreated behind the young master.
Zhou Bingding did not stop her. He smiled and said, "You have already established your immortal foundation at the age of ten. You are indeed a genius who can be on par with Qiao Yanran. It's a pity to use you to nourish these corpse worms..."
Corpse worm?
Xu Qianxing frowned. Although she could tell that this person was not simple and should leave as soon as possible, the death of her fellow disciples made it difficult for her to suppress her anger. She snorted coldly and said, "I don't care who you are. If you dare to kill someone from my Yu Jian Sect, I will kill you today!"
Zhou Bingding just looked at her, smiled and said nothing.
"You go first!" Xu Qianxing spoke again, and this sentence was obviously said to the two people behind her. Then she took a step forward, and before her body moved, nine flying swords flew out of the sky. They were nine top-grade magic weapons, and in the middle, there was also a magic flying sword.
The two people behind him looked at each other and retreated at the same time, but they did not go far, and they did not dare to leave the Foundation Establishment Mountain before the young master, because they could not explain to the elders outside.
In the field, behind one person, a soul-eating insect flapped its wings, and behind another person, flying swords circled. As Xu Qianxing pinched her hands and bent forward, all the flying swords immediately turned into fleeting streams of light. Compared with the previous battle against Gu Xiaoxing, now that she had built her immortal foundation, the flying swords were much stronger in both power and speed.
But Zhou Bingding just looked at her with interest without making any move. The soul-eating insect behind him flew out on its own and turned into golden lights that collided with the flowing lights.
Even though there were more golden lights, the flying swords were faster. They relied on ten flying swords to resist the attacks of dozens of spirit insects. They were even slightly better than the others because among the ten flying swords, in addition to nine top-grade magic weapons, there was also a magic treasure. Those top-grade magic weapons could not cut them, but the magic flying swords could leave scars on those spirit-eating insects.
For a moment, under the pillar of heaven, countless streams of light were surging, and it was like countless meteors flying and crashing, brilliant and extremely colorful, and the collision made a series of clanging sounds, there were rolling waves of spiritual power, eruptions of lightning and fire, and countless rock pillars were pierced, it was extremely fierce!
Behind a stone pillar in the distance, even Gu Xiaoxing felt frightened when he saw this scene. He frowned and naturally recognized Zhou Bingding, but at this moment he could not guess who this person was, and why he was associating with those soul-eating insects?
Obviously, these soul-eating insects were the same wave of soul-eating insects that Gu Xiaoxing had encountered before at the Yunxiao Sect’s stronghold!
In fact, he had discovered before that those soul-eating insects were not living creatures at all. They seemed to be corpses refined by someone using secret methods, so they were indestructible. Now it seems that the person who refined these corpse insects should be Zhou Bingding.
In Gu Xiaoxing's impression, Zhou Bingding was just an ordinary inner disciple of the Soul-Devouring Sect. If one had to say that there was something special about him, it was that he was not a Soul-Devouring Body, that's all!
But this scene in front of him made Gu Xiaoxing certain that this person had another identity, and must be related to the Soul-Devouring Sect. It was even very likely that the person standing behind this person was the traitor of the Soul-Devouring Sect who secretly controlled everything!
Obviously, Zhou Bingding had made preparations for this trip. Not only did he attack and kill almost all the people from the Yunxiao Sect who entered the Foundation Building Mountain, he also seemed to want to spare no effort from the Yujian Sect. He must have big plans for this!
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes flickered, and he had some guesses: "Could it be that he wants to use the identity of a disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect to frame others and let other sects take action against the Soul Devouring Sect?"
Thinking about it this way, Gu Xiaoxing was actually a little embarrassed. His identity had already been known by Qin Yunfeng of the Body Refining Sect, and it must have been spread out. In this regard, it can be said that he also contributed!
It goes without saying that if word of what happened in the Foundation Establishment Mountain gets out, those sects will definitely not let the Soul Devouring Sect go, although everyone tacitly agrees to fight and kill each other in the Foundation Establishment Mountain, and they also agree that everything will stop after leaving the Foundation Establishment Mountain.
But in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this is just a show. Otherwise, why would no one dare to compete for the territories of the three major forces?
Moreover, Xu Qianxing's identity is not simple at first glance. She is either the sect master's direct disciple or his son or descendant. If she dies here, I'm afraid that the Sword Controlling Sect will be the first one that will not let go of the Soul Devouring Sect. As the number one sect in the small wasteland, with the only Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, they can do whatever they want!
But is it really that simple?
Seeing Zhou Bingding's calm appearance, Gu Xiaoxing gradually narrowed his eyes. He felt that there should be more to it. But at this moment, he saw Zhou Bingding move. He was obviously only at the Qi Condensation level, but the power and feeling he burst out should not be possessed by Qi Condensation.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing understood something, and his eyes widened immediately, murmuring in disbelief: "He... is also building a Dao fetus!?"
