"Senior Situ..."
Gu Sheng looked at the dull-looking Situ Qingfeng inside the light curtain, frowning.
"His condition seems..."
"Very bad."
Xia Furong's voice was filled with regret.
"Back then, in order to cover our evacuation, he forcibly activated the secret method, overdrawing the source and damaging the foundation. Although it was sealed here in time, the soul was too damaged and fell into a deep sleep.
For thousands of years, although Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid has saved his life and the foundation of his cultivation, he has never been able to awaken his consciousness. And..."
She paused and her tone became more solemn.
"In the past hundred years, we have found that the effectiveness of Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid seems to be slowly losing, and the nourishing effect is not as good as before. This is why we are eager to find a way to awaken him."
Gu Sheng once again cast his gaze on the viscous blue-gold liquid inside the light curtain.
With his eyesight, he could clearly feel that although the liquid still contained majestic energy, the purest and core breath of the origin of life contained in it was indeed much thinner and far less magical than Xia Furong described it.
"How to open this light curtain?"
Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice. The first priority is to bring Situ Qingfeng out first.
Xia Furong looked at Xiao Mengling.
"Miss Mengling, we need you and me to work together."
Xiao Mengling nodded silently and walked to the light curtain holding the bamboo slips.
Xia Furong stood beside her, making secrets with her hands, and a pure and powerful wave of True Essence emanated from her body.
Xiao Mengling closed his eyes again and began to recite the ancient and obscure syllables in a low voice.
The bamboo slips in his arms floated and unfolded again, emitting a soft light.
At the same time, Xia Furong also continuously injected its own True Essence into the bamboo slips, guiding the light of the bamboo slips to resonate with the runes on the light screen.
The green light curtain began to fluctuate violently! The runes on the surface flowed and reorganized!
A gap that only allowed one person to pass slowly opened in the center of the light curtain!
"Pavilion Master Gu! Hurry!"
Xia Furong gave a low drink, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. It was obvious that maintaining this passage was not easy.
Gu Sheng didn't hesitate at all. He flashed and instantly passed through the crack and entered the light curtain!
As soon as he entered the light curtain, an indescribable sticky feeling and huge pressure instantly came from all directions!
The green-gold Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid crazily squeezed and penetrated towards him!
At the same time, an extremely pure energy poured into his body through his pores, refreshing his spirit!
But Gu Sheng had no time to feel the nourishment of this energy at the moment, and his eyes immediately locked on Situ Qingfeng on the jade platform.
He urged True Essence to resist the huge pressure of the spiritual liquid and swim quickly towards the platform.
The closer to the platform, the stronger the feeling of regret in Gu Sheng's heart.
He clearly sensed that although the Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid around him was still full of energy, its core power, which could nourish and repair the origin of the soul, had been completely lost!
The rest is mostly used to maintain the vitality of the physical body and provide energy. No wonder Situ Qingfeng has been sleeping for thousands of years, and its consciousness still cannot wake up!
He quickly swam to the jade platform. Looking closely, Situ Qingfeng's face became clearer, and his dull expression was heart-wrenching.
Gu Sheng reached out and carefully touched the pale golden rune chain wrapped around Situ Qingfeng.
The chain is cold and strong, and is closely connected to the entire seal formation.
"Senior, I'm offended."
Gu Sheng whispered, and then moved True Essence, wrapping Situ Qingfeng's body, trying to take him away from the platform.
The rune chain doesn't move at all!
Just when Gu Sheng was preparing to increase his strength and try to forcibly break the chains--
Outside the light curtain, Xia Furong, who had been concentrating on maintaining the passage, suddenly changed his face!
She raised her head suddenly, glanced sharply in the direction where everyone came from, and shouted sternly.
"Be careful! There is someone!"
Almost at the same time she spoke out, Bai Yu and Bai Zhi also reacted instantly!
Bai Yu stepped forward, protecting his sister behind him, powerful mental power surged out, laying a solid mental power barrier around everyone!
Bai Zhi Although his aura is weak, he still manages to mobilize his mental power to help his brother strengthen the barrier!
Xiao Mengling also stopped chanting and hugged the floating bamboo slips tightly with both hands. The light flowed on the bamboo slips, exuding the power of protection!
A frivolous and joking man's voice sounded in everyone's ears without any warning, and passed clearly into everyone's consciousness:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the reaction is not slow. Unfortunately... in front of me, it is just a futile struggle."
As the voice sounded, a cold, evil, terrifying pressure with endless evil thoughts swept the entire space instantly!
The mental barrier set up by Bai Yu and Bai Zhi trembled violently under the impact of this coercion, and let out an overwhelmed groan!
The moment that frivolous and malicious voice sounded, a cold, evil and terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
Bai Yu and Bai Zhi bear the brunt!
The two brothers and sisters felt as if they were hit by a heavy hammer, their bodies shook violently, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out at the same time!
The blood actually had a strange black aura!
The faces of the two people instantly turned gray, their auras declined sharply, and the vitality around them seemed to be eaten by invisible poisonous insects, quickly passing away!
A cold and evil energy was like maggots on the tarsal bones, crazily eroding their meridians and souls!
"Xiao Beixuan!"
Xia Furong saw the person clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his voice was full of hatred and shock!
The person who came was wearing a black robe, with a sinister face, eyes like poisonous snakes, and a playful and cruel smile on his lips. He was none other than Xiao Beixuan!
But the aura he exudes at this moment is far colder, deeper, and terrifying than when he was in the Boundless Sect!
Obviously, the power of Nether River Venerable in his body has been revived even more!
"Tsk, tsk, Junior Sister Xia, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so... ignorant of current affairs."
Xiao Beixuan smiled coldly and glanced at the seriously injured Bai Yu brother and sister, as if looking at two ants.
He didn't even take action specifically, he just waved his sleeves casually!
An invisible force exploded!
The seriously injured Bai Yu and Bai Zhi were unable to resist at all. They were hit hard again and hit the mountain wall in the distance. The gravel flew away and they completely lost consciousness. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead!
"Bai Yu! Bai Zhi!"
Xia Furong's eyes were about to burst! But she resisted the urge to rush forward, because she saw Xiao Beixuan's gaze scanning the slowly narrowing passage gap on Azure Green Light Screen with a half-smile!
"Junior Sister Xia, I advise you not to move."
Xiao Beixuan's voice is playful like cat and mouse.
"Look, the passage is almost closing. It seems that Pavilion Master Gu inside has not come out yet? If the passage is interrupted, this 'Heavenly Marrow Spirit Sealing Array' will close again...
Tsk tsk, even if Heavenly King Realm is trapped inside, I'm afraid he won't be able to last long, right? Do you want him to be buried with Situ Qingfeng?"
Xia Furong's body stiffened suddenly!
She stared intently at the increasingly narrow gap on the light screen, and then looked at the figure of Gu Sheng that was faintly visible inside the light screen and was struggling to swim towards the jade platform, and her face became extremely ugly!
Xiao Beixuan's words hit her weak spot!
She can't ignore Gu Sheng's safety!
At the moment when Xia Furong was frightened by Xiao Beixuan's words and his mind was shaken--
In the spiritual liquid pool, Gu Sheng naturally heard the movements from the outside world and felt the terrifying evil aura and coercion!
He felt awe in his heart, and instantly understood the situation outside! Xiao Beixuan is here! And his strength is far beyond imagination!
He glanced at Situ Qingfeng, who was close at hand with a dull expression, and then glanced at the gap that was about to close outside the screen. There was almost no hesitation, and there was determination in his eyes!
Save Situ Qingfeng! Must be saved! Otherwise this trip is meaningless!
As for the escape route...Gu Sheng's eyes were sharp, and True Essence in his body was running wildly, resisting the pressure of the increasingly viscous and heavy spiritual liquid, and his speed increased instead of decreasing, and he rushed towards the jade platform!
He believes in Xia Furong, and he also believes in his own judgment! He has always found his own way out!
Outside the light curtain, Xiao Beixuan saw that Gu Sheng, instead of panicking and trying to rush out of the light curtain, accelerated towards Situ Qingfeng. There was surprise in his eyes, which then turned into cold murderous intent.
"Hmph! He's not afraid of death! In that case, let's deal with you first!"
He no longer paid attention to Gu Sheng in the light curtain, his eyes were locked on Xia Furong and Xiao Mengling, and the corners of his mouth raised a cruel arc.
"Junior Sister Xia, and this little girl...Myriad Spirits Palace? Just stay here today!"
Before he finished speaking, he swayed and disappeared from the spot!
The next moment, a sharp claw covered with pitch black scales and filled with strong evil energy appeared in front of Xia Furong with a scream that tore apart the space!
"Meng Ling! Retreat!"
Xia Furong shouted sharply, and a determined light burst out in his eyes!
She was already ready to attack. Faced with this fatal blow, she would not retreat but advance!
His hands instantly formed a seal, and a vast and pure True Essence mixed with powerful spiritual power exploded!
It condensed into a golden light shield with mysterious runes flowing in front of her!
The evil claws clawed hard at the golden light shield! A harsh friction sound and an energy explosion sounded at the same time!
The golden light shield trembled violently, the runes on its surface flashed crazily, and it let out an overwhelmed groan!
Xia Furong groaned, a wisp of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his body was shaken back again and again!
But she successfully blocked the blow! Buying Xiao Mengling precious time to retreat!
Xiao Mengling reacted very quickly. The moment Xia Furong spoke out, she hugged the bamboo slip without hesitation and retreated sharply!
At the same time, with anxiety in her clear eyes, she suddenly looked at the figure inside the light curtain that was about to be completely isolated by the closing light curtain!
She bit her lower lip tightly, with determination in her eyes!
She suddenly threw the bamboo slips in her arms high into the air! The bamboo slips spread out in the air, emitting a soft light!
Xiao Mengling made a quick seal with both hands, forced out a drop of blood essence from his fingertips, and touched it on the bamboo slip!
The bamboo slips shine brightly!
A text composed of pure energy penetrated the light curtain with only a gap, and accurately shot at Gu Sheng in the spiritual liquid pool!
The zhenqi text instantly submerged into Gu Sheng's sea of consciousness and turned into a clear message.
"Pavilion Master Gu! The light curtain is about to close! You must rescue Senior Situ! We will try to rescue you! If Master needs to come forward, the engagement... can be voided! This light will help you!"
As the message was transmitted, the last light on the bamboo slip suddenly lit up and turned into a small stream of light. Following the zhenqi text, it shot into the gap in the light curtain and merged into Gu Sheng's body!
Gu Sheng felt his body light up, and the pressure of the thick and heavy spiritual liquid around him was instantly relieved a lot!
Xiao Mengling The last ray of light temporarily gave him the ability to partially resist the resistance of the spiritual liquid!
At this time, the turquoise light curtain finally closed completely! The gap disappeared without a trace! The inside and outside were completely isolated!
Within the light curtain, Gu Sheng used the power of light to increase his speed and rushed to the jade platform in an instant!
He landed in front of Situ Qingfeng, looking at the senior who was firmly bound by the pale golden rune chain with a dull expression, he stretched out his hand, ready to try to break the chain!
Just when his fingers were about to touch Situ Qingfeng's body--
A soft, sweet, but cold and distant female voice sounded in Gu Sheng's ears without any warning, and passed clearly into his sea of consciousness:
"Stop! There is 'Soul Sealing Restriction' on the stone platform! If you touch him, your soul will be instantly locked by this restriction and trapped in this pool of spiritual liquid, and you will never be able to escape!"
That cold and distant warning sounded like thunder, exploding in the Gu Sheng sea of consciousness!
His outstretched hand suddenly paused in mid-air, and his fingertips were only an inch away from Situ Qingfeng's body!
An invisible chill spread along his fingertips, making his soul tremble!
He suddenly turned his head, his eyes like lightning, and glanced at the source of the sound!
Not far from him, the sticky Heavenly Marrow Spirit Liquid seemed to be separated by invisible force, and a petite figure slowly emerged.
That was a little girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.
She was wearing a colorful gauze dress that was so gorgeous that it was almost dreamy, and the hem of the skirt was floating gently in the spiritual liquid.
Her bare white feet were suspended in the spiritual liquid.
A small face as delicate as a jade carving, with skin that can be broken by a blow. Under the long eyelashes, there is a pair of eyes that are crystal clear but seem to contain endless stars.
At this moment, these eyes were looking at Gu Sheng quietly with curiosity and scrutiny.
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank! This little girl... when did she appear? With his soul perception, he didn't even notice it!
The little girl seemed to have read through Gu Sheng's thoughts. Her pink lips were slightly raised, revealing a smile that was inconsistent with her age, with a bit of playfulness and vicissitudes of life.
Her voice was clear and sweet, but also had a strange penetrating power, directly transmitted into the Gu Sheng sea of consciousness:
"No need to look for it. I've always been by your side, but you... couldn't see me before."
She tilted her head, her eyes sly.
"Or, to be more precise, 'we' are always by your side."
"'We'?"
Gu Sheng frowned and felt a warning sign in his heart!
The aura of this little girl is extremely strange. She seems pure and flawless, but there is an indescribable depth and ancientness to her.
"Hmm."
The little girl nodded, her voice still clear, but her tone became more complicated.
"I am her and she is her."
She stretched out her white and tender fingers, first pointed at her heart, and then pointed at Gu Sheng.
"I am the 'spiritual fetus' that was nourished by your essence, blood and soul, and finally born. I am also the one... who was forcibly awakened by the great cauldron in your body, and bound by your soul-blood contract... Miao Muqing."
Gu Sheng is so shocked! The spiritual fetus! Miao Muqing!
