Chapter Seventy-Six: The Decline of Fire and Ice

In the following days, Gu Tian had a much more leisurely life, cultivating and stabilizing the strength he had just improved every day, and Yang Han also ran to Gu Tian to take a turn when he was idle, of course, Yang Han's main purpose was to come and see Xiaotian. But every time I saw Xiaotian sleeping there, I could only go back stupidly, and this childish posture made Gu Tian feel a little funny.

On this day, Gu Tian was immersed in cultivation when suddenly there was a slight knock on the door.

Gu Tian was taken aback, and there were some doubts in his heart. Although he is in a state of cultivation, but his senses have been released, so he has not found anyone coming, who could this person be?

Gu Tian straightened his clothes slightly, got up and opened the door.

"Old Li, why are you here?" opened the door, and a kind smiling face appeared in front of him, and it was Li Lao.

"What, you're not welcome?" said Li Lao with a smile.

"How could it be, it's just that Old Li suddenly arrived, Gu Tian was curious. Gu Tian laughed dryly, he really didn't know the purpose of Li Lao's trip, could it be because of his background? This made Gu Tian's heart tighten.

"Don't you invite me in to sit down? Do you dislike my old man?" said Li Lao half-jokingly.

Gu Tian was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way.

Li Lao walked into the house and looked at it casually, "It's simple to live."

"Li Lao said with a smile, I don't usually need anything, it's good to have a bed", Gu Tian replied.

"En", Li Lao nodded lightly, "Huh, Tianfeng Wolf?" Li Lao's eyes showed some surprise, and he had some doubts in his heart, seeing that this Tianfeng Wolf was different from what he saw, and then Li Lao looked at Gu Tian with some doubts. He couldn't help but be surprised, the Heavenly Wind Wolf was originally a fourth-order demon beast, and how could Gu Tian keep his cub by his side with the strength of the Human Position Realm?

"It's just a coincidence", Gu Tian didn't explain too much, this matter is really a long story.

Li Lao didn't dwell too much on this issue, after all, although the Heavenly Wind Wolf is not low in rank and has good strength, it has not reached the point of going against the sky, and there are many mutated physiques among the demon beasts, so it is not difficult to accept that the real fate can be obtained.

There were two chairs in the room, and Li Lao sat straight over, his face straight, "I really have something to say about this time." ”

Hearing this, Gu Tian also became serious, looked back and no one noticed here, closed the door gently, and stood aside to listen carefully to Li Lao's words.

"Hehe, but don't be nervous, it's a good thing for you!"

"Oh?" Gu Tian's heart moved.

"Do you know the hierarchy of that exercise?" Li Lao looked at Gu Tian with a smile.

Gu Tian pondered for a moment and said truthfully, "The younger generation only knows that the exercises are divided into mortal level, spiritual level, and heavenly level from the low level to the high level, and then the younger generation does not know it. "Gu Tian's second grandfather, Gu Bo, has never told them this before, he knows so much or heard others talk about it after he came out, and he paid attention to some of it, and he really didn't know the rest, even if it was his own Cloud Shadow Step Gu Tian, he didn't know what level he was at.

"Well, what you said is what we usually say, above the Heavenly Rank is the Holy Rank Exercises. However, those are too far away from us, and the power of the Holy Rank Exercises is far beyond what we can imagine. Li Lao shook his head and did not continue.

"Let me tell you a story, this is what I heard from my travels back then, don't think I'm verbose", Li Lao sat down and straightened out his thoughts, and then slowly spoke.

"In the far north of the continent, it has been covered with ice and snow for many years, frozen for thousands of miles, and sparsely populated. But the same monster beasts that can survive there are also some powerful races, and they can even transform into human forms, just like ordinary people. "These ancient heavens have heard that some demon beasts can turn into human form after their strength is strong, and their appearance is the same as that of ordinary people, but under the same rank, demon beasts have a unique advantage, and their ontological strength will be even stronger.

"And on the extreme north ice field, there is a sect called the Ice Palace that all the sects in the continent dare not underestimate, they do not participate in the disputes of the continent all the year round, but no one dares to ignore their strength. As early as a few hundred years ago, the Ice Palace produced an amazing genius, whose strength can be said to have made the older generation ashamed, and once he came out of the mountain, he became famous all over the world! The Ice Palace has since stepped into the ranks of first-class forces. After that, this person traveled to the mainland, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he created countless exercises, and no one dared to mess with the Ice Palace from then on!"

Gu Tian swallowed his saliva, what a powerful strength this was, and he actually made the continent shake with his own strength! Isn't this the pursuit of a cultivator's life?

Li Lao looked at Gu Tian with a little amusement, after all, he was also a child, and it was normal for him to have some longing for such strength.

"And among the exercises he created is a set of exercises called the Decline of Ice and Fire, back then, he used this move to defeat three masters of the same realm with one enemy and three!"

Gu Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "These things are really too far away...... but then he clenched his fists again, one day I will also reach the same strength, or even surpass them!

Li Lao looked at Gu Tian's appearance and smiled softly, "Say far or far, say near or near, it depends on how you choose"

Gu Tian was taken aback, and looked at Li Lao with some doubts, "What does Li Lao mean by this?"

"The road of cultivation is bloody and unpredictable, some people are greedy for comfort, it is difficult to grow in strength, some people love vanity, cultivation is always superficial, it is difficult to become a big tool, and some people fight bloodily, the more frustrated they are, the more courageous they become, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter the river...... In this life, who can say for sure?"

Gu Tian's brows furrowed slightly, "Cultivators naturally have to do their best for cultivation, and they can't slack off at all, or how can they get what they want and protect their families?"

"Then how do you think you can protect your family?" asked Li Lao rhetorically.

"Naturally, you must have strong strength!" Gu Tian said firmly.

"What is strong? The cultivation world is the weakest and the strongest, fighting every day, you are in contact with different levels, you will naturally encounter more powerful opponents, how can you say that you are strong?" Li Lao looked directly at Gu Tian, aggressive.

Gu Tian's eyes were full of stubbornness, "If that's the case, then I'll keep cultivating, and keep making myself strong to deal with even more powerful enemies!"

Li Lao looked at Gu Tian in front of him, his sharpness was revealed, he was not hit by himself at all, and there was also some appreciation in his eyes, "I hope you can still maintain this mentality after many years." ”

"Thank you Elder Li for your teaching!" Gu Tian hugged his fist at Elder Li and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. I had never thought about this problem before, but since it had been decided, I couldn't change it, and Gu Tian had his own insistence.

"Okay, there's one more important thing to come to you today", as he spoke, Li Lao's hand flashed, and a yellowed parchment scroll had appeared in his hand.

Gu Tian's eyes stared directly at Li Lao's hand, could this be the decay of ice and fire that Li Lao just said?

"Don't worry, listen to me in advance, this exercise is indeed as you think, it is the decline of ice and fire, and it was also obtained by accident when I was young, but because of its harsh conditions, I can't cultivate ......", hearing this, Gu Tian even breathed a little heavily, "However, this is only a part of the decline of ice, I see that you are also cultivating the ice attribute exercise, and this exercise is suitable for you to cultivate." But you have to think clearly, after you cultivate it, you will inevitably be coveted by many people, and you may even lose your life because of it, do you dare to ask for it?"

"Dare!" Gu Tian didn't even want to answer directly, he was no longer the hairy boy he was when he first came out, this cultivation world was far more cruel than he imagined, even if he didn't have such treasures, he would also be subject to the calculations of others, why not make himself strong and face it more calmly?

"This can be regarded as a little thank you from me", Li Lao said softly, handed over the exercises to Gu Tian, and got up to leave.

"Old Li!" Gu Tian stopped Old Li who was about to leave, "The city lord lent the blue water pool before, which made Gu Tian feel kind in his heart, Old Li, why do you have to do this? Such a valuable thing, Gu Tian did not dare to take it in!" As he spoke, Gu Tian handed over the ancient scroll in his hand again.

The two elders stood in place and were silent, and after a while, they sighed faintly, "Hey, people are getting old, and their courage has become smaller, I'm really scared......" After that, he waved his hand and walked towards the door.

Just as Mr. Li was about to open the door, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was directly pushed open, "Gu Tian......" Yang Han stopped outside the door stiffly, "Old Li, why are you here?"

Old Li's face returned to its former kindness, "I'll take a look at what good things here can attract Xiao Han to run here every day...... Haha......" said and walked out, leaving Yang Han with a shy face......
