Chapter 128: Battle Elephant

From Yuzhou to Shendu, one has to pass through five states and the sailing time takes at least two months.

Gu Mingchuan stayed on the boat and felt as if his life had been paused. He was so bored that his balls were annoyed.

You have to know that after the battle with Jiang Wanliu, it took him more than two months to leave Jiangzhou and fight with Songhe Sect.

For more than two months, he was so busy with one thing after another that he had almost no time to breathe.

Although I am busy, my life is fulfilling and happy.

During this period, his strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. Not to mention the "Tai-ni-zai Sutra" that he obtained almost for free, his "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" alone has broken through to the seventh level.

With two more spiritual objects, you will be able to reach the ninth level of the Divine Treasure and prepare to impact the Disaster Breaking Realm.

Now I suddenly have nothing to do and I'm so bored. Every day I can only talk about martial arts with Shangguan Yu and chat with Gong Miaomiao about the ancient books she has read before.

It has to be said that although Gong Miaomiao is young, she is well-read. No matter what he asks, she can always quote from classics and explain it clearly.

Gu Mingchuan couldn't help but look at her with new eyes. One day, he asked something that had puzzled him for a long time, "Do you know who destroyed the Gu family? As one of the original nine major clans, the Gu family must be as powerful as the other seven."

Gong Miaomiao was squatting in front of a wooden basin in the corner washing clothes. She had lived a pampered life before and had never done such rough work, but she was full of energy. When she heard his question, she continued to wash clothes in silence.

Shangguan Yu, who was still lying on the bed, said, "The Gu family was destroyed in the Jiachen Incident seven hundred years ago."

"The Jiachen Incident?"

"During the Jiachen year of the Jin Dynasty, the emperor was old and in pursuit of immortality, he listened to the words of a folk sorcerer and sent strong men from the court to capture a mortal immortal, known as the Immortal Man. It was said that this immortal was immortal and would return to youth every sixty years. According to the sorcerer, as long as one took a drop of his blood when he was rejuvenated, one could extend one sixty years of life."

"..." Gu Mingchuan was speechless, "Then how did the Gu family get involved?"

"At that time, the immortal happened to be in the Gu family's territory. The strong men sent by the emperor fought with the immortal, but found that they were no match for him, so they fled to the Gu family. The immortal broke into the Gu family and wiped out the entire family."

Shangguan Yu said this with some regret, "In fact, with the thousands of years of heritage of the Gu family, even if facing the Red Dust Immortal, they should not be without means to deal with it. Unfortunately, in the battle with the Buddhist sect, the strongest of the family fell, and the most precious treasure, the Void Mirror, was lost. This is the fundamental reason why the Gu family was destroyed."

Gu Mingchuan always felt that there was something of a conspiracy here.

Shangguan Yu added, "Speaking of which, your Gu family's most precious treasure, the Void Mirror, is used to suppress the Vajra Arhat and banish his soul into the endless void."

Gu Mingchuan felt more and more that Minglong Mountain was not simple. It was suspected that the tomb of Emperor Changsheng was there, and Vajra Arhat, one of the strongest figures in Buddhism, was also suppressed there. Now the Gu family had another treasure.

He asked another question, "What is the Red Dust Immortal?"

Shangguan Yu said quietly, "A mortal immortal is a true immortal who has fallen into the mortal world."

Gu Mingchuan vaguely grasped something in his mind, but there was always something missing, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

Shangguan Yu did not answer, but asked, "What do you think is the end of martial arts?"

"You are putting me in a difficult position. With my current state, I cannot possibly reach such a high level."

"My master once said that the Way of Heaven is awe-inspiring and cannot be touched by ordinary people. Once you get involved in the authority of the Way of Heaven, your fate is to be trapped in the mortal world and never be able to transcend it. Warriors like us must maintain sufficient respect for the Way of Heaven."

Gu Mingchuan roughly understood that it was a strong person who was assimilated by the laws of heaven and earth.

He then asked, "Is this Red Dust Immortal equivalent to a True Immortal in the Yuhua Realm?"

Last time, he heard Wang Xining tell the story of Emperor Shang, saying that in the final battle, Emperor Shang killed several immortals. So he remembered this word.

Shangguan Yu shook his head and said, "Although the Yuhua Realm has transcended the secular world and possesses incredible power and magical powers, it is not a true immortal and is far from being immortal."

In other words, the realm of the Red Dust Immortal is still above the Yuhua realm.

……

The merchant ship sailed downstream and encountered several inspections along the way. Some were from the Demon Suppression Bureau and some were from the navy, but they were all easily dealt with by the boatman.

Gu Mingchuan clearly heard that when the boatman negotiated with those who were checking, he claimed that the boat was from Jin Yutang, took out a token and a letter, and then he let the boat pass immediately.

Wow, Chu Zhi actually has connections in Jin Yu Tang, and asked the people in Jin Yu Tang to help cover up for them.

Jin Yutang is equivalent to an imperial merchant and enjoys privileges within the Wei Dynasty. They are also the eyes and ears of the royal family and have direct access to the emperor's ears. Who would offend them for no reason?

It is no exaggeration to say that Jin Yutang's caravan can travel freely within the territory of Wei.

Gu Mingchuan and the other two had Jin Yutang's help in covering up the matter, so they naturally had nothing to worry about.

In a flash, a month passed.

The merchant ship entered the territory of Zhongzhou.

Gong Miaomiao said, "Zhongzhou was once the center of the world. The Jin Dynasty had its capital here. Later, Emperor Shang of Jin died, and the entire imperial city was wiped out by a mysterious strongman. It is said that the dragon veins were broken. That's why Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty decided to make the capital in the Divine Capital."

"Zhongzhou is very prosperous in martial arts. Among the nine major sects, two are located here, Tianjian Sect and Canghai Sect."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Yu and whispered, "I haven't seen Sister Yin for a long time. I wonder how she is doing now."

Gu Mingchuan knew that she was talking about Yin Shengxue, who was also one of the four great geniuses and was from the Canghai School.

Shangguan Yu said calmly, "She should be in seclusion right now, don't disturb her."

……

At the same time, Zhongzhou City. This place used to be the center of the world, the thoroughfare of the nine states, and several major rivers converged here, connecting the world and becoming a transportation hub.

In terms of prosperity, it ranks among the top five in the Wei Dynasty.

If you travel by water from Yuzhou to the capital, you will definitely pass through this place.

On a hillside about ten miles outside the city, a man in yellow stood on the top of the hill, with a golden mark between his eyebrows.

He had his eyes closed, as if sensing something.

After a while, a man in black flew over and knelt in front of him. "Reporting to you, sir, there is news from Canghai Sect that after a hundred years, the Seven Aperture Spirit Stone has appeared again. Canghai Sect will start a hundred-year agreement. Among the nine major sects and seven major clans, as long as they are disciples in the Shenzang realm, they can participate and compete for the Seven Aperture Spirit Stone."

The man just said calmly, "Got it."

The man in black didn't dare to say anything more and quickly retreated.

The yellow-clothed man's eyes were still cold.

The Seven-Aperture Spirit Stone is indeed precious. According to legend, it is an unparalleled spiritual object that can open the divine storage of the body. Once the Seven-Aperture Spirit Stone is used to open the divine storage of the body, one can cultivate an innate Dharma body and his future achievements will be limitless.

But what does this have to do with him?
He has already reached the Dharma Image Realm. No matter how magical the Seven-Aperture Spirit Stone is, it is useless to him.

His target is the "Sutra of Ultimate Bliss"!
As long as he obtains the "Elysian Free and Easy Sutra", he will be qualified to become the new Son of God. If he kills another Son of God and seizes another inheritance, he will be the future leader of the Xuanming Sect.

This person is Tian Qiming, the Dawn Messenger of the Xuanming Sect.

At the beginning, when he got the news that Yu Huaiyi was seriously injured by Pei Bingqing, he went to hunt down Yu Huaiyi. However, she was so slippery that his pursuit failed and she escaped.

Until recently, he heard a rumor that the Demon Suppression Division had discovered the Holy Son of the Xuanming Sect. He was stunned at first, but soon woke up as if from a dream.

It turned out that the "Sutra of Bliss and Freedom" was obtained by the boy named Gu Mingchuan.

Tian Qiming connected many things together in an instant.

On that day in Jiangzhou City, Yu Huaiyi clearly showed up on his own initiative to lead him away, with the purpose of protecting Gu Mingchuan.

Now, Tian Qiming has been standing here for half a month in order to find the trace of Gu Mingchuan.

Just because the Demon Suppression Division can’t find him doesn’t mean that I can’t find him either.

The Xuanming Sect's skills have always been known for their secrecy. If they were so easy to discover, they would have been wiped out by those famous and upright sects long ago.

As the Dawn Messenger of the Xuanming Sect, he has a special way of sensing the Holy Son of the sect.

Tian Qiming spared no effort to connect himself with the entire world, and used the method of seeing through the sky and hearing through the earth to monitor every ship coming from the northwest.

If the other party takes the land route, he will have no choice but to accept it.

However, he believed that if Gu Mingchuan was smart enough, he would take the water route.

The Demon Suppression Division has enough strong men to block all land routes. As long as Gu Mingchuan takes the land route, he will definitely leave traces, making it easy for him to be discovered.

Suddenly, a look of ecstasy flashed across Tian Qiming's face, "I found you!"

On a ship a hundred miles away, he sensed a breath that made his heart palpitate. It was the power and pressure from a high-ranking person in the church.

It is a power of the same origin, but of a higher level.

In the sect, he had only felt this in the body of the Demon Lord Wuxin.

It must be the "Sutra of Bliss"!
Whoosh!
Tian Qiming's figure disappeared from the spot.

In just a dozen breaths, he crossed a distance of nearly a hundred miles and appeared above the ship. Then he flashed and broke into the cabin.

……

Gu Mingchuan was chatting with Shangguan Yu and Gong Miaomiao when he suddenly had a sudden thought in his mind, a feeling that a disaster was about to happen.

not good!

Without any hesitation, he pushed Gong Miaomiao and Shangguan Yu through the air, and they flew out and broke through the wall of the cabin.

Almost at the same time, the enemy was already above his head, and a huge hand reached out to grab him.

Dharma Image Realm!
Gu Mingchuan flipped his hand and held the Shenxiao Sword in his hand. He injected all his energy into it and slashed fiercely at the big hand.

A snort.

The huge hand formed by the vital energy was split into two under the blade of the Shenxiao Sword.

Gu Mingchuan was also under that terrifying force, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he was already injured.

"Peerless divine weapon?"

The enemy let out a light cry, then grabbed again with one hand.

Gu Mingchuan took a deep breath. It seemed that he had no choice but to fight.
