In an instant, Gu Sheng was pulled by two old women and their entire body was inspected.
Then, the two old women suddenly looked surprised.
"It can be regarded as Saint Artifact."
one of the old women replied.
"Yes, Eternal and Unparalleled."
Another old woman also echoed.
Yan Ruyu nodded with satisfaction.
Bai Yiyi also had a smile on his face.
"Looks like you picked the right person."
Yan Ruyu said, bathing softly and said, "Young Master Zhou, if you have any needs or dissatisfaction, you can tell Yiyi. She will fulfill all your requests, but the premise is that you must stay here well and do not do anything else."
"Hey! Did I hear correctly? Are you going to put me under house arrest?"
Gu Sheng is a little impatient.
But Yan Ruyu didn't seem to want to explain that much, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Hey! Yan Ruyu! Hey!"
Gu Sheng called twice, but Yan Ruyu ignored him and left with the two old women who were checking the body.
Bai Yiyi stood there and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhou, you are the first person to talk to His Highness like this."
"Tch, I don't care so much, but what do you mean? Can you tell me?"
Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Bai Yiyi looked at Gu Sheng's curious and hesitant look and couldn't help but chuckle.
She walked slowly to Gu Sheng, her tone was gentle but with a hint of unquestionable firmness, and said, "Mr. Gu, you may not know something. What we are asking for is for you to become Demon Emperor's Heart's host."
"Huh?"
Gu Sheng Hearing this, his brows furrowed and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.
He took a step back almost subconsciously, with a hint of trembling in his voice. "Demon Emperor's Heart? Did I hear you correctly?"
Bai Yiyi shook his head slightly, as if he had anticipated Gu Sheng's reaction.
She patiently explained, "Demon Emperor's Heart contains infinite power and wisdom. Ordinary practitioners on the other side or those who transcend the other side cannot get close to it!"
"Well, I know that."
Gu Sheng nodded.
Bai Yiyi Seeing how easily Gu Sheng answered, he couldn't help but curiously asked, "What? Have you seen it before?"
"Yes."
"What does it feel like?"
"Two words, terrifying!"
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and seemed to be back to the scene when he saw Demon Emperor's Heart.
Bai Yiyi smiled and continued, "When you become Demon Emperor's Heart's host, Demon Emperor's Heart's divine power will also nourish your body and complement each other. Isn't it perfect?"
Gu Sheng frowned again and replied firmly, "No, I can't agree. Although divine power is good, I would rather not do it at the cost of losing myself."
Bai Yiyi did not show disappointment, just sighed lightly.
"Mr. Gu, do you know that by becoming the host of Demon Emperor's Heart, not only can you gain divine power, but His Highness Yan Ruyu will marry you and spend the rest of your life with you."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng's heartbeat accelerated sharply.
In Gu Sheng's seriousness, Yan Ruyu's beauty, wisdom and strength are all what he dreams of.
However, becoming the host of Demon Emperor's Heart means that he will lose himself, which scares him.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mood.
Then his voice was trembling. "Yan Ruyu, your highness is really willing to marry me?"
Bai Yiyi nodded, with a hint of seriousness in her eyes. "Of course, Your Highness will do what she says, and her appreciation and trust in you is unquestionable."
Gu Sheng was silent, struggling in his heart between divine power and freedom, beauty and self.
He knew that Yan Ruyu's marriage was a huge temptation for him.
But at the same time, once he becomes the host of Demon Emperor's Heart, he will no longer be himself.
After a long time, Gu Sheng finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his voice. "Bai Yiyi, I need time, I can't make a hasty decision like this."
"Mr. Gu, I understand your concerns, but please remember that His Highness's patience is limited. If you think clearly, you can come to me at any time."
Bai Yiyi nodded in understanding and said.
Watching Bai Yiyi leave, Gu Sheng began to fall into an ideological struggle.
After two days of thinking, I realized that although Yan Ruyu is extremely beautiful, staying here is not a problem.
After thinking about the freedom outside, Gu Sheng decided to have a great escape.
As night falls, Gu Sheng's heart is as bright as day.
That is the desire for freedom burning in Gu Sheng's heart.
He easily slipped out of the hut that had bound him, with only one thought in his mind - to escape from this peach blossom forest and regain his freedom.
The peach blossom forest looks particularly enchanting under the moonlight, and every flower exudes an alluring fragrance.
"Huh..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and stepped into this seemingly gentle sea of flowers.
What he didn't know was that he was walking into a carefully laid trap.
"Chichichi!"
As soon as his footsteps hit the ground, the peach blossoms around him seemed to be given life.
Countless branches spread quickly like spiritual snakes, weaving into invisible nets, trapping him firmly in them.
Gu Sheng felt tense and began to try to find a way out.
But no matter how he ran or changed directions, he always seemed to be lingering in the same place.
I thought that the trap during the day could be removed at night, but I didn't expect that it would be even more difficult to escape.
Gradually, Gu Sheng's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Unknowingly, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and illuminated the peach blossom forest.
Gu Sheng found in despair that he had stepped out of a circle around him.
A night's hard work was in vain.
Just then, a burst of laughter broke the morning tranquility.
"Hehehe..."
The figure of Bai Yiyi appeared in the sight of Gu Sheng.
There was a playful smile on her face, as if she had anticipated Gu Sheng's failure.
"Mr. Gu, why are you doing this? Don't you know that this peach blossom forest was carefully arranged by us?"
There was a hint of ridicule in Bai Yiyi's voice.
Gu Sheng leaned weakly against a peach tree, breathing heavily and feeling full of frustration.
He clearly knew that he had no way to escape and could only let Bai Yiyi handle it.
"What kind of magic did you use to make these peach forests listen to you?"
Gu Sheng asked angrily.
Bai Yiyi did not respond, but waved slightly.
Immediately, several maids came forward and tied up Gu Sheng.
She walked up to Gu Sheng and looked down at him, with a hint of unquestionable command in her tone, "Mr. Gu, you'd better accept Demon Emperor's Heart obediently, otherwise, such an escape will be in vain."
Gu Sheng raised his head, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
But he knew that there was nothing he could do to save himself.
"Hmph! I protest!"
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Alas..."
Bai Yiyi sighed slightly, and then said, "Have a good time taking care of Mr. Gu. I want to tell His Highness about this."
After saying that, Gu Sheng was brought back to the hut.
As for Bai Yiyi, he walked towards the outside of the peach forest.
Gu Sheng After returning to the hut, the whole person's mood was a little depressed.
I don't know what I will face next.
After about a cup of tea, footsteps came from outside.
"Tie him up and execute him today!"
An old woman's voice came from outside.
Execute...
Gu Sheng Just as he was wondering, the door of the hut was opened.
Several maids escorted Gu Sheng out.
As soon as Gu Sheng stepped out of the room, he saw a dozen old women standing next to Yan Ruyu and Bai Yiyi.
Through simple spiritual induction, these dozen old women also possess certain divine powers.
"Take him to Water Tomb!"
An old woman with gray hair ordered.
Water Tomb?
Gu Sheng understood the meaning instantly, and then yelled angrily.
But before he could open his mouth, a seal flew from the leading old woman's hand and was directly attached to Gu Sheng's mouth.
At this time, he couldn't say anything he wanted to say.
Soon, Gu Sheng was taken to a cold pool deep in the peach forest.
Gu Sheng looked at everything in front of him and was secretly surprised.
I didn't expect there to be such a bottomless cold pool inside.
If you had entered here by mistake last night, you would probably have been severely cold.
Several old women stood next to the cold pool, chanting some incantation.
Suddenly, the water in the cold pool seemed to be given life under the spell.
Wow!!!
The water in the pool was rough and the water was splashing everywhere.
Gu Sheng was restrained and could only watch this scene, filled with shock and curiosity.
At this moment, the water surface of Hantan suddenly calmed down.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light shot out from the bottom of the pool, illuminating the entire peach forest.
As the light gradually increased, a huge crystal coffin slowly rose from the bottom of the pool.
Its appearance made everyone present feel an unprecedented strong aura.
When Yan Ruyu saw the coffin, she immediately knelt down and worshiped. Her face was full of piety and awe.
Others followed suit, and only Gu Sheng stood still.
After vaguely seeing the contents of the coffin, he realized that it should be the legendary Demon Emperor's Heart!
Then, the crystal coffin slowly rose to the surface of the water.
Its light intertwined with the cold air of the cold pool, forming a strange scene.
Gu Sheng Although his voice was sealed, his heart was full of turmoil.
He could feel the power contained in the coffin, which was a force that could shake the world.
The old women stopped chanting the incantation, and the entire Taolin fell into silence.
Only the heartbeat of Gu Sheng seemed particularly clear in the silence.
He knew that what he was about to face might be a fate that would change his life.
Yan Ruyu stood up slowly, stretched out his arms to the left and right, and then clasped his hands together.
After the others stood up, they also imitated his actions.
"Yan Ruyu! Yan Ruyu!"
Gu Sheng activated his divine power and wanted to use his divine consciousness to transmit sounds.
But Yan Ruyu deliberately pretended not to hear, and instead offered Jade Plate.
The Jade Plate levitated from the hand of Yan Ruyu, emitting bursts of dazzling light.
Just when Gu Sheng was about to use his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice again, the dozen old women rushed forward and surrounded Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng's heartbeat accelerated, and the oppressive feeling emanating from the old women around him made him feel uncomfortable.
Especially when seeing their eyes, there is a power that cannot be underestimated.
Immediately, Gu Sheng planned to take back his consciousness and prepare to face whatever might happen next.
One of the old women suddenly spoke, with a hint of surprise and admiration in her voice. "Young man, your spiritual consciousness is really powerful. Even under such circumstances, you can still maintain such clear spiritual consciousness transmission."
"Huh?"
Gu Sheng was stunned.
He didn't expect that in such a tense atmosphere, he could still get praise from the old woman.
On the other side, Yan Ruyu seemed not to be disturbed by Gu Sheng's spiritual sound transmission.
She concentrated on controlling the Jade Plate suspended in the air.
The light of Jade Plate is getting brighter and brighter, as if it is absorbing the spiritual energy around it, preparing to perform some important ritual.
The old women surrounded Gu Sheng in the middle, and each person's hands began to shine with different lights, obviously preparing some kind of powerful spell.
Gu Sheng felt unprecedented pressure, but he couldn't escape at all, and seemed very helpless.
"Ding!"
At this moment, Jade Plate suddenly made a crisp sound.
Immediately, a beam of light shot out from the plate and pointed directly at the crystal coffin.
Under the illumination of the beam, the coffin began to slowly open.
An ancient and powerful aura escaped from it, making everyone present feel a deep awe.
Gu Sheng Although he was restrained, his consciousness was extremely sharp.
He could feel the power contained in that aura, which was far beyond what he could understand.
He knew that the awakening of Demon Emperor's Heart would bring about unpredictable changes.
The old women's spells were ready, and their eyes were focused on the crystal coffin.
"Your Highness, please step back first, we are going to cast a spell."
An old woman said softly.
As the old woman finished speaking, more than a dozen old women formed hand seals at the same time and muttered words.
In an instant, the ancient spell echoed in the air, as if awakening a power that had been dormant for a long time.
"Swish swish!"
Countless rays of light shot out from their fingertips, converging into a bright beam of light that directly hit Gu Sheng's body.
At that moment, Gu Sheng felt a warm and powerful force penetrate his bonds.
The countless rays of light were like running water, forming a whirlpool of light around his body.
"Ah..."
Gu Sheng couldn't help but scream.
At the same time, his body began to tremble slightly.
But this was not because of fear, but because the force was so huge that his body could hardly bear it.
In the beam, Gu Sheng's skin began to glow with a faint golden luster, and every pore seemed to be breathing this mysterious power.
As the spell deepened, strange phenomena appeared around Gu Sheng's body.
The skin on his body was cracked, as if it was about to burst, and rays of light were radiating from his body outwards.
But as the spell continued, the cracked skin closed again and remained intact.
The eyes of the old women were full of awe and admiration, especially the old woman who had mastered the highest magic. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She looked at Gu Sheng and sighed, "Your Highness, the power contained in his body is really unbelievable. This is not only the powerful inner manifestation of divine power, but also a symbol of Sacred Body's purity."
