Greed

Before he could look around, he heard a low roar coming from behind.

Gu Sheng looked back and saw a group of ferocious wild boar monsters rushing toward him.

Their eyes flashed with ferocious light, especially those two fangs, which were particularly eye-catching.

Obviously, they regarded Gu Sheng as prey.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, knowing that this must be the illusion test in "Heavenly Book of Source-Seeking".

But when you first enter the environment and encounter such monsters, you have to explore the opponent's situation first.

Immediately, he immediately mobilized the Profound Yellow Power in his body.

"Chichichi!"

Golden light burst out from his body.

At the same time, Gu Sheng drummed up divine power.

At that moment, Gu Sheng was like a golden lightning, shuttling through the forest, avoiding the pursuit of monsters.

After a few rounds, Gu Sheng has figured out the details of these monsters.

Although they are ferocious, their abilities are average.

It can be said that they are just a group of wild boars that are slightly stronger than low-level monsters.

It's just that they look stronger, but in fact, they are not as powerful as imagined.

"I never thought I could be a pig butcher in this life!"

Gu Sheng calmed down and decided not to get entangled with these monsters.

I saw him holding it with both hands, and instantly launched his own Fire Spirit Dagger.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as Fire Spirit Dagger came out, the surrounding air seemed to become hot.

The flame attached to the dagger seemed to be alive, dancing and flickering with will.

Gu Sheng flashed and shuttled between the monsters.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

After a fierce attack, these wild boar-like monsters fell down one by one.

The fallen colleagues all turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated in the air.

"Tch! That's it?"

Gu Sheng said with some disdain, and then put Fire Spirit Dagger away.

To be honest, it was in his heart that he despised the fantasy test of "Heavenly Book of Source-Seeking".

In his opinion, this illusion is nothing more than that, just some little monsters and monsters, nothing to be afraid of.

Randomly, he summoned up his divine power and prepared to leave the forest and find the exit of the illusion.

But just as he turned around, a woman's voice suddenly came.

"Gu Sheng."

"Huh?"

Gu Sheng was shocked.

This voice was all too familiar to him. It was Ji Ziyue.

He turned around and saw that it was indeed Ji Ziyue.

He saw her still wearing his favorite purple dress, standing under a tree not far away.

It was just that there was a bit of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes.

"Ziyue? Why are you here?"

Gu Sheng stepped forward with a confused look on his face and asked.

Ji Ziyue looked at Gu Sheng and said with some panic in his eyes, "I have been following you secretly, and now I have reached the illusion of this heavenly book."

"Follow me?"

Gu Sheng was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ziyue has been following me.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Ji Ziyue suddenly started sobbing, "I was kicked out by the Ji Family and I have nowhere to go. Of all the people I know, you are the only one who treats me the best, so I follow you secretly, hoping that you can take me in. We can travel around the world together and enjoy our grudges."

"This..."

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ziyue's tearful eyes and couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart.

But while feeling sympathy, Gu Sheng suddenly realized that the Ji Ziyue in front of him was generated by an illusion?

After having this suspicion, Gu Sheng planned to test it out.

"Then you can go to the Tai Xuan Sect to find Senior Li?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Ji Ziyue shook his head and wiped his tears at the same time. "No, I will go find Senior Li. He is no longer at Clumsy Peak. I went to other main peaks, but they are not willing to take me in."

"What!"

Gu Sheng was stunned immediately.

"Where did Senior Li go?"

Gu Sheng asked quickly.

"I don't know. No one told me. They all said that we Ji Family were the scourge of Southern Region and treated me as a thorn in their side."

Ji Ziyue said, tears falling down.

After this trial and error, Gu Sheng is basically certain.

The Ji Ziyue in front of me is similar to what I know.

He can conclude from his heart that this Ji Ziyue is really following his own Ji Ziyue.

"Okay, you follow me first. Now we are in an illusion. Getting out of the illusion and getting "Heavenly Book of Source-Seeking" is the most important thing."

Gu Sheng nodded and said.

"Yeah."

After Ji Ziyue finished speaking, Chao Gu Sheng came over.

However, the moment Gu Sheng came into contact with Ji Ziyue, Gu Sheng's consciousness suddenly felt the changes in the aura around his body.

This change is extremely subtle. If you hadn't just practiced "The Unbeginning Scripture", it might be difficult to detect it.

Gu Sheng's heart froze, and he suddenly suspected that this Ji Ziyue was fake.

He remained calm and secretly mobilized Profound Yellow Power to prepare for possible dangers.

At the same time, he asked, "Ji Ziyue, do you still remember where we first met?"

Ji Ziyue didn't seem to notice Gu Sheng's suspicion. She replied, "Of course I remember, it was during Tai Xuan Sect's entry test meeting."

Gu Sheng's heart sank. The first time they met was not at the test meeting.

But during a chase, Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue fell into the lake of the Bronze Immortal Palace!

This Ji Ziyue is indeed fake!

Gu Sheng said secretly.

Then Gu Sheng sneered and retreated violently.

At the same time, Fire Spirit Dagger took action again, aiming directly at the center of Ji Ziyue's eyebrows.

"You! Who are you?"

Gu Sheng asked coldly.

Ji Ziyue suddenly panicked, "Gu Sheng, I am Ji Ziyue? Who else could it be?"

"No! You're not her!"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"I really am her!"

Ji Ziyue almost roared.

"You and I entered Bronze Immortal Palace together and went to the Tai Xuan Sect together. Have you forgotten all this? Huh?"

Ji Ziyue shouted angrily.

"Um..."

Gu Sheng hesitated again.

If you want to say that Ji Ziyue is fake, what she said is all from her own personal experience.

But if it is true, I always feel like something is wrong...

Gu Sheng started to have difficulties.

"Okay, since you think I'm a fake, then just go and leave me alone!"

Ji Ziyue said, turned around and walked in the other direction.

Looking at the back of Ji Ziyue leaving, Gu Sheng suddenly saw the figure of Ji Ziyue in her body.

You know, Ji Ziyue is Ji Family's famous lady.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about his temperament.

Now that something like this has happened, Gu Sheng is really confused.

However, this illusion is surrounded by dangers. If Ji Ziyue leaves like this, he will definitely encounter some trouble.

It would be fine if it was fake, but if it were true, how sad would Ji Ziyue be?

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng quickly stepped forward and took Ji Ziyue's arm.

"Ziyue... hehe, I'm kidding you."

Gu Sheng said with a smile.

Ji Ziyue turned his head and rolled his eyes at Gu Sheng: "Don't make such jokes with me in the future!"

"Yes, yes! I promise."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

But Gu Sheng still had some worries in his heart and wanted to test it out again.

Then Gu Sheng asked, "Ziyue, do you still remember your Ji Family's secret technique?"

"Of course you remember, Great Void Technique, I even taught you."

Ji Ziyue turned his head and said with a smile.

Before Gu Sheng could speak, Ji Ziyue continued, "I know you are testing me, okay, you can ask, you can ask anything."

Seen through by Ji Ziyue, Gu Sheng smiled coquettishly, "No, it's nothing. I just want to ask you the secret of Great Void Technique's first few sentences."

Ji Ziyue smiled, as if he had seen through Gu Sheng's thoughts.

"The secret of Great Void Technique's mental method is a secret that Ji Family will not teach, but there is no need to hide it from you."

Gu Sheng listened attentively, Ji Ziyue slowly opened his mouth and read out a few obscure formulas.

"The void is boundless, the heart can turn as it pleases, the mind and mind are united, and the environment can turn as the heart desires..."

Gu Sheng's heart moved, these mental secrets are indeed the beginning of Great Void Technique.

He had practiced under the guidance of Ji Ziyue, so he was no stranger to it.

However, he did not relax his vigilance.

Because he knows that in the illusion, everything may be false.

"Ziyue, you are right."

Gu Sheng nodded, but then changed the topic, "But, do you know that Great Void Technique's cultivation, in addition to mental methods, also requires specific handprints and breathing methods. Can you show me a few?"

Ji Ziyue's face changed slightly, and he chuckled, "Gu Sheng, you are really careful, okay, I will show you."

As he spoke, Ji Ziyue began to form hand seals.

Her fingers danced nimbly, her movements smooth and natural.

Gu Sheng observed carefully that these fingerprints were indeed part of Great Void Technique, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"Ziyue, although you are skilled in hand seals, I remember that Great Void Technique's practice requires a specific breathing rhythm. Can you demonstrate it?"

Gu Sheng continues to test.

Ji Ziyue's face was already a little unhappy, but she still did as she was told.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

That rhythm is consistent with the training requirements of Great Void Technique.

Gu Sheng Seeing this, the doubts in his heart were slightly relieved.

"It seems that you are indeed Ziyue."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, seeming to have let down his guard.

Ji Ziyue saw this, his eyes were full of displeasure.

She turned sideways and said coldly, "Gu Sheng, I'm really impressed by you!"

"Blame me, blame me..."

Gu Sheng nodded and said with a smile.

But suddenly, Gu Sheng's consciousness once again sensed an unusual fluctuation.

This wave seems to be sucking its own energy.

That kind of feeling, there is a feeling of draining the firepower from under the cauldron.

Randomly, Gu Sheng secretly stirred up divine power.

Yes, that feeling does exist, and one's own strength is indeed losing.

Random Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately took a step back and looked at Ji Ziyue warily.

"What's wrong? Gu Sheng, are you still doubting me?"

Ji Ziyue had a slightly aggrieved look on his face.

Gu Sheng did not answer, but closed his eyes.

He began to use his consciousness and carefully sensed everything around him.

He discovered that the aura of Ji Ziyue was slightly different from the real Ji Ziyue.

This difference is extremely subtle and almost impossible to detect unless you look closely.

"You are not Ziyue!"

Gu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly and said coldly.

Randomly, Gu Sheng snorted coldly, and the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand ignited the flame again, "Let's take action!"

Looking at Fire Spirit Dagger, Ji Ziyue's expression changed and he sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so alert. Yes, I am not the real Ji Ziyue. I am the Greed Spirit in this illusion. You are not so greedy and have not been deceived by me."

"Greed Spirit?"

Gu Sheng was stunned, he had never heard of this name.

"Yes, I feed on people's greed, and I also use greed to absorb people's divine power. It's just that I just absorbed a little, and you discovered it."

Tanling said with a smile.

After saying that, the fake Ji Ziyue waved his hand, and Greed Spirit immediately revealed his true form.

I saw him wearing black clothes, with no face or hair, just a mass of black.

That way, it looked like he had just come out of the coal mine.

"Since it's a phantom, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu Sheng The doctor snorted coldly and rushed forward.

A strange smile appeared on Phantom's face.

In an instant, her body began to become blurry, and eventually turned into a black mist, rushing towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng calmly waved Fire Spirit Dagger and slashed towards the black mist.

"Chichichi!"

The moment the flames came into contact with the black mist, a "chichi" sound was made.

The black mist was burned by the flames, making a shrill scream.

Gu Sheng kept waving the dagger, dispersing the black mist bit by bit.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng suddenly heard the sound of a dagger piercing his body.

Gu Sheng stared forward and saw Ji Ziyue lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Ziyue? No! This..."

Gu Sheng was stunned in place.

"Gu...Gu Sheng... you... you actually..."

Ji Ziyue looked pained.

Is this true?

Or fake?

Greed Spirit?

Gu Sheng put a question mark in his heart.

"That was Greed Spirit that transformed into me just now. Now I am really Ji Ziyue. I am real."

Ji Ziyue said while lying on the ground, covering his wounds.

"Really Ji Ziyue?"

Gu Sheng felt like his heart was pricked with needles again.

"I..."

The flames on Gu Sheng's Fire Spirit Dagger began to extinguish gradually, and my heart became even more tormented.

"Poof!"

Ji Ziyue spit out a mouthful of blood.

The smell of blood suddenly filled the air.

Gu Sheng tentatively walked forward, "You... are you Greed Spirit or Ziyue?"

"Go away, Greed Spirit is still around, don't let him take advantage of you! Gu Sheng, go away!"

Ji Ziyue yelled loudly.

But the more he scolded himself like this, the more Gu Sheng was unwilling to leave.

"Let's go! I'll take you with me!"

Gu Sheng said, stepping forward to pull Ji Ziyue up.

"Huh..."

Suddenly, Ji Ziyue spit out a breath of black air towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng immediately backed away and said with a faint smile, "I've been fooled once, do you want me to do it again?"

"Haha... I didn't expect you to suppress the feelings in your heart. It seems that I can't subdue you."

After saying that, Greed Spirit turned into a plume of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

Love?

Hearing these two words, Gu Sheng was stunned.

"Do I have feelings for Ji Ziyue?"

Gu Sheng was thinking secretly in his heart.

But to be honest, I do have a lot of feelings for Ji Ziyue in my heart.

However, the two of them have different paths and should not have such thoughts.

He began to think, what exactly was this illusion trying to test him?

Greed?

strength?

Or mentally?

Gu Sheng thought about it and had almost no clue.
