" Xie Feng... it's him again. Wherever there's war, there he is..."
Gu Xinglan sat at a stone table, dressed in a light green ordinary dress. Her face was cold, and she was angry inside. Her slender fingers gripped a steaming teacup, and her fingertips turned slightly white from the pressure.
Dao of Calamity stroked his gray beard, shook his head and sighed, " Xie Feng is not to be underestimated... I just told you, Dao of Wisdom has become like this because of him! Why didn't you tell me that his Literary Dao strength was so formidable!"
Gu Xinglan said coldly, " Xie Feng has never revealed his Literary Dao abilities before; he has been hiding his talents. How would I know?"
The Dao of Calamity leaves one speechless, gazing at the heavens.
Gu Xinglan glanced at her with his phoenix eyes, his expression grave. "It seems I underestimated him... He's clearly inferior to us in Martial Dao, so why does he repeatedly use unexpected moves to win..."
"Wait, you... you broke through?"
Dao of Calamity stared at her in surprise. If he remembered correctly, when he came a few days ago, Gu Xinglan's cultivation was still at the Indestructible Saint Emperor Fourth Stage, but now it had reached the eighth level!
Although he came from the Fifth Universe, he knew that a significant increase in cultivation level was something that would be difficult to achieve in any universe.
They must either be exceptionally talented, have a fortuitous encounter, possess Cultivation Method and elixirs, or a combination of several.
Gu Xinglan smiled faintly, "The longer you stay by my side, the more surprised you will be by my strength. If I didn't have some skills, do you think your Heavenly Soul Venerable would cooperate with me?"
"That makes sense." The Dao of Calamity nodded. "What do you plan to do next?"
" Cheng Hao is dead, the Kui Emperor Crow God has been destroyed, Jiang Feng has seized power, and the Kui Emperor White Crow Clan is in chaos. This force... I need to take full control of it!"
"Time waits for no one; we must speed things up. I need to declare war on the Imperial Evil Realm and plunder the Yin energy of the numerous Devil Race!"
Gu Xinglan's eyes were resolute!
Dao of Calamity nodded slightly. "It seems I also need to take action. Cheng Hao is dead, and our cooperation with him ends here. From now on, we will cooperate with you wholeheartedly!"
Gu Xinglan nodded and smiled, "That's the wise thing to do."
"This Xie Feng has always been a major threat to us; we can't let him stay any longer! I already have a plan in mind, and I will definitely not let these people get away with this!"
The Dao of Calamity narrowed its slender eyes, a glint of cold light flashing across them.
Gu Xinglan asked, "What are you planning to do?"
Dao of Calamity leaned forward, his mouth slightly moving as he whispered his plan.
Gu Xinglan nodded repeatedly.
The two continued chatting.
A moment later.
Dao of Calamity stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to her, and hurriedly left.
Gu Xinglan's deep eyes watched his departing figure, her fingers lightly tapping the table, producing a crisp tapping sound.
"Time... is flying by too fast. I can't just wait passively; I have to take the initiative. What I want to do, I must accomplish!"
Her gaze was resolute as she murmured to herself.
Blood Forest.
In the deep, boundless forest, a cold wind lingered, and birds and beasts emitted intermittent, weak, mournful cries, making one involuntarily feel a tightness on one's head.
Beneath a huge, ancient banyan tree, Gu Yu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint aura.
Behind him lay a golden coffin.
After being soaked in the essence of blood for so many days, the skeleton inside the coffin gradually lost its withered and fragile appearance, and its color began to have a slight sheen.
The golden coffin had been gleaming with a faint light, and the Gu Yu sitting beside it was now completely different from what it had been half a month ago.
Previously, Gu Xinglan had destroyed all his cultivation with a single palm strike. While he was crying and wailing, the latter threw him a book called " Ancient God Secret Art " and told him to cultivate it.
After experiencing extreme despair, he had no choice but to pick up the Secret Method again and begin practicing them diligently.
He has to live!
After studying diligently for half a month, Gu Yu's strength skyrocketed, achieving a breakthrough from zero to the Indestructible Realm!
You should know that even at his peak, he was only at the Ten Thousand Ages Realm!
And this is the result of just half a month!
It's a miracle!
Time passed second by second...
brush!
Gu Yu opened his eyes, and the surrounding aura disappeared.
He got up and moved his hands and feet a little, and his bones cracked and popped, but it was a very comfortable feeling.
"Wow, I've reached the Indestructible Realm Seventh Stage! In a few more days, I'll be Indestructible Saint..."
He was stunned when he looked inside the Gu Yu!
In just half a month, he actually reached the peak of cultivation that he had never achieved in the previous twenty-odd years!
Does this indicate the power of the Secret Method, or is it due to his exceptional talent?
After racking his brains for a long time without finding an answer, he decided to attribute it to his own talent and Gu Xinglan's Secret Method.
This also made him realize that he had such great potential!
Stretching, Gu Yu frowned and muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, my cousin hasn't come to see me in ages... Oh no, has she forgotten about me? Am I going to spend the rest of my life here alone? No, what Hell on Earth is this... I don't want to spend my life alone with a skeleton... I want to get out..."
After abandoning the Ancient God Secret Art, Gu Xinglan never came to the Blood Forest again, as if he had been forgotten!
And they don't even offer food!
Since Gu Yu developed the habit of eating and drinking well every day at the Xuanji Sect, he was really not used to being forced to break his Grain Avoidance.
"Hey, why won't my cousin give me any food? Does she never eat? Otherwise, why doesn't she remember? Food is the one thing in the world that should never be missed! She just doesn't understand!"
Gu Yu arrived at the golden coffin and lamented bitterly about the skeleton lying peacefully inside.
Of course, the skeleton wouldn't answer him.
"Also, being stuck in this blood-red place, all I see is red, my eyes are going to go blind!"
"I want to get out! If I stay here any longer, I'll suffocate! The meaning of life lies in movement and freedom! Cousin, please let me go, let me out, give me back my freedom..."
"I can't take it anymore, this is no different from imprisonment..."
Gu Yu lay helplessly on the ground, howling in agony. This was his daily routine in addition to cultivation, and he was almost numb to it.
" Gu Xinglan, you vicious woman!"
" Gu Xinglan, if you don't let me out, I'll smash this broken skeleton to pieces!"
"Antiquity..."
"You seemed to enjoy your insults?"
At that moment, a cold voice interrupted the cursing.
The sound startled Gu Yu so much that he jumped up from the ground instantly. When he looked up, he saw Gu Xinglan's cold face.
His cousin, the most powerful Great Emperor in the world, stood ethereal at the entrance of the Blood Forest, dressed in green, her long eyebrows lightly drawn, her cold eyes piercing.
"Table, table..." Gu Yu stammered in fright.
"What the hell are you talking about!" Gu Xinglan cursed angrily.
"..." Gu Yu dared not utter a sound.
"Drag that thing in."
Gu Xinglan pointed to the side, Gu Yu, upon closer inspection, became unsettled again.
