Chapter 15: Past and Present Lives
In the past few days with Gu Xu, Zhao Yan has already seen this guy's terrifying cultivation talent of realizing once in three days and breaking through in five days.
Not long ago, she was secretly proud that it took less than two years for her to break through to the Fifth Realm.
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
But now she deeply understands that "there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people".
In these few short minutes, the aura on Gu Xu's body increased compared to the results of many monks' cultivation after several years of retreat.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Xu finished his practice and opened his eyes.
Zhao Yan noticed that his eyes had once again turned indigo like a starry sky - just like that day when he was in the Imperial Cabinet Realm, he suddenly had the temperament of a person who had been in the upper position for a long time, which made people only dare to look up and not dare to approach.
"Looking at you like this, the harvest should not be small," she stepped forward and smiled, "I feel that the aura on your body is no longer inferior to that of ordinary Fifth Realm cultivators." β
"That's true," Gu Xu nodded, his eyes turned black, and his attitude was rare and not modest at all, "I feel that there is only a membrane between me and the 'Nai He Bridge' realm. I need to find an opportunity to break through this barrier. β
"Have you figured out your way to break through the realm?" Zhao Yan asked, "Have you ever thought about using 'Seven Loves'?" β
Gu Xu shook his head lightly: "You should know that although 'Cutting Seven Feelings' is a shortcut, it has obvious side effects that will limit the potential for future development. β
Zhao Yan was silent for a while, lowered her head and said, "What I use is 'Cutting Seven Feelings'." β
"Which love is it?"
Gu Xu guessed in his heart, since Zhao Yan hated physical contact with men, would she be like Chu Fengge, cut off her "desire" in order to pursue the realm of "no man in her heart, pull out a gun and be a natural god"?
"Fear." Zhao Yan replied truthfully.
Thinking of Zhao Yan's uninhibited style of doing things many years ago, as well as the rumors that she was dressed in red and killed all over the capital, Gu Xu smiled: "It is indeed a choice you will make." β
"Actually, the reason why I chose 'Slashing Seven Feelings' is because I want to improve my strength as soon as possible and avenge my mother as soon as possible," Zhao Yan took a deep breath, "That enemy is hiding in the dark and is powerful." If I don't cut away my fears, I'm afraid that one day I'll lose faith and give up on the whole plan. β
"Do you regret it?" Gu Xu looked at her autumn-like eyes.
The sun crushed it, and the black was rubbed with gold.
"I don't know," Zhao Yan said softly, "After I knew that the enemy was the Emperor of Tianxing, my mood was a little confused, because he has the Eighth Realm Cultivation and the famous weapon 'Tai'a Sword', whether I use the 'Seven Emotions Slash' or not, it is very likely that I will spend my whole life and it will be difficult to surpass him in cultivation." β
Gu Xu silently complained in his heart: If you knew that Emperor Tianxing was the dogleg of "Taishang Haotian", and he could invoke the power of the Thunder Tribulation through the "Tai'a Sword", you would be even more desperate.
"In addition, after I broke through to the Fifth Realm, I felt that my cultivation had reached a bottleneck," Zhao Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "Before that, my cultivation had been strictly following the Nirvana Sutra and the teachings of my fathers. And now, I find it difficult for me to get rid of the Nirvana Sutra and find my own 'path' and knock on the door of the capital of Xudu. β
"What did your father do back then? Did he give you any advice on this? β
"He only drinks all day and almost never discusses these things with me."
"What about your other elders? For example, the high priest of Jicheng, and the head of the sect who taught you martial arts? β
"They think I don't need to look for the so-called 'Tao'. As long as I can find the memories of my past life, I will naturally become transcendent. β
"Your past life...... Is it the legendary saint who followed the 'god of fire'? β
"They all said so," Zhao Yan found a flat stone and sat down, her white and elastic legs folded, and her skin glowed with a lustrous luster, "I didn't believe it before, but after you helped me awaken the power in my bloodline, some strange and familiar illusions often popped up in my mind, and I doubted it." β
"That's right," she said this, she propped her elbows on her knees, supported her chin with her right hand, and looked up at Gu Xu, "The first time I saw you, you gave me a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. At that time, I wondered if it would be the two of us who had met in a previous life. β
Gu Xu was silent, not knowing how to respond for a while.
The people of the Great Wilderness will indeed be reincarnated from humans to ghosts, and from ghosts to humans again and again, and experience the reincarnation of suffering one after another in the laws formulated by the "Taishang Haotian".
But he is a time-traveler from Earth. Even if there is a past life, it should be living in another world.
After a few minutes, he looked at the "astrolabe" in his hand and changed the subject: "Just now, I also comprehended a very useful spell from the new fragment of this magic weapon. β
"What spell?"
Gu Xu's words aroused Zhao Yan's curiosity. She knew that Gu Xu was a very picky person, and he felt that the spells that were "useful" must be very extraordinary.
"I don't know what it's called," Gu Xu replied, "After mastering this technique, as long as you know a monk's life palace main star, you can deduce the fortune and actions that the other party will take in the next period of time." If the opponent's cultivation is lower than his own, he can even exert a certain degree of influence on his fortune. β
"The limitations of this spell are not small," Zhao Yandai frowned slightly, "If my understanding is correct, if you want to know the main star of a life palace, you need to know his birth date first." But usually, people don't tell anyone about their birthday. β
"This magic weapon also has a function," Gu Xu smiled, "It allows me to see other people's life palace main stars at a glance." For example...... Miss Zhao, the main star of your life palace is the Broken Army Star, right? β
"That's right," Zhao Yan's voice was calm, "Why don't you help me calculate the next fortune?" β
She had long been accustomed to Gu Xu's tricks from time to time. The other party said her life palace master star, and she was not surprised at all.
"The five elements of the broken army belong to water, for the general star, in charge of the world's 'breaking consumption', acting often depends on a thought, has a strong subjective consciousness, and has a brave and adventurous personality. Whatever you decide to help, you will never give up halfway, and you will do your bestβ"
"You really know how to pick nice things to say," Zhao Yan interrupted him, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, "Many years ago, a fortune teller came to Jicheng in Youzhou, used astrology to tell fortunes for me and my cousin Zhao Yu, and said something similar to yours to me.
But after saying this, he suddenly changed his words.
