Chapter 112: Kunlun

After leaving the Holy Mountain, Gu Xu continued to travel west.

The spirit of the Thunderbolt has become a little girl of four or five years old, with black hair like a mirror and skin like jade, like an ice and snow spirit that can only appear in the deepest and sweetest dreams.

But even after growing so big, she still only says the word "childe".

If she had been a human child, she would have been in a hurry with her parents due to poor brain development.

"You are the deepest obsession in her heart before she dies."

In this regard, the white-haired teenager gave this explanation.

At this moment, the towering Kunlun Mountain had already appeared at the end of Gu Xu's sight.

The mountain peaks towered into the sky, winding gracefully, with their heads held high.

Under the illumination of the sun, it looks like a silver dragon lying on the earth, and it is like a sword with a handle that goes straight into the blue sky.

Gu Xu was quite familiar with the picture in front of him.

When he was promoted to the fourth realm, he once used the "astrolabe" to see a group of monks commanding the people, transporting huge stones carved with intricate patterns, and arranging formations in the nearby area.

And when he jumped into the "return to the ruins" and traveled to the future time and space, he personally came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain and used the "fireflies" to destroy the large array called the "Tower of Babel", which is said to enable cultivators to cross the two realms.

"The Tower of Babel hasn't started to be built yet. He looked at the desolate scenery in front of him and said secretly in his heart.

To reach Kunlun Mountain, he still needs to pass through two barriers that are difficult for mortals to cross.

One is the flame volcano.

One is the weak water river.

The flames of the volcano burn with an unquenchable flame. The flames were so hot that stones thrown into them would instantly turn to ashes.

However, for Gu Xu, who was proficient in fire spells, there was no difficulty in climbing the Flame Volcano.

On the contrary, this flame volcano provided him with an excellent opportunity to practice.

He used his divine sense to introduce flames into the meridians, further tempering and purifying his true element, and at the same time, he also silently pondered and comprehended, and further improved the exercise "Red Flame True Technique".

After turning over the volcano, he felt that his body was filled with majestic power, and every drop of blood seemed to turn into magma ready to be released, waiting to be released in future battles.

But Gu Xu's gaze was still calm, like a frozen lake in winter.

The weak water river is an abyss that surrounds Kunlun.

It was two hundred and forty feet deep.

The water itself is very strange and not buoyant at all – not to mention the wood, even the lightest feather sinks to the bottom.

It is simply impossible for ordinary people to cross the river. Edgeworth's flying practitioners will also fall into the river from the sky.

There is also a monster living at the bottom of the weak river, named "Kiln", with a human face and a snake body, and a hideous appearance. Anyone who wants to smuggle in, will be eaten by it.

But this still can't be difficult for Gu Xu.

He exerted the authority of "Qiankun", directly through the spatial rift, and came to the opposite bank of the weak water, causing the cave at the bottom of the river to roar in a frustrated manner, but there was nothing he could do.

However, the success of navigating weak waters does not mean that the rest of the road is an easy one.

There are still many terrifying monsters on Kunlun Mountain-

For example, the "earth mole", which looks like a sheep and has four horns on its head, feeds on people.

For example, "Qinyuan", it is shaped like a bee, the size is like a mandarin duck, birds and beasts will die in the sting, and the trees and trees will wither in the sting.

……

"Do you know why Kunlun Mountain is so dangerous?" On the way to climb the mountain, the white-haired young man suddenly asked Gu Xu.

"To prevent mortals from reaching the top?" Gu Xu guessed.

"That's right," the white-haired boy nodded, "Hundreds of years ago, Mount Kunlun was much higher than it is now, it plunged into the sky, and it was a staircase connecting the upper and lower realms. The envoy sent by Taishang Haotian could easily come to the Great Wilderness through this staircase to inspect this prison.

"But the 'prisoners' of the Nether Realm are blocked by many obstacles, and they cannot go to the Upper Realm through this staircase."

Hearing his words, Gu Xu raised his head and looked at the snow-capped peak of Kunlun Mountain.

I saw the steep cliff standing straight up, inserting into the depths of the white clouds, as if it had been slashed by the ghost axe of the gods, just looking up, the overwhelming feeling of oppression was enough to make people dizzy and trembling feet.

It was as if in the next second, the entire mountain would collapse with a bang, burying people underneath.

I didn't expect that hundreds of years ago, it would be even higher than it is now.

"Then why is this staircase broken now?" Gu Xu asked.

"It was broken by Emperor Wuzong of the Great Chu Dynasty." The white-haired boy replied.

"Emperor Wuzong of Great Chu? He even did such a thing? Gu Xu was a little surprised by this.

Emperor Wuzong of Great Chu was named Xiong Tianxi, and he was the penultimate emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty. During his reign, he ignored the government and politics, and liked to take a group of cultivators to toss around, such as going to the mountains to find monsters and ghosts to fight, going to the three major sects to find people to fight alone, and even went to the Shangcang Temple to provoke trouble, and also named himself "Shenwei Vatian General".

In the records of historical books, because of the absurd behavior of this emperor, coupled with the increasingly fierce social contradictions, the national power of the Great Chu Dynasty declined rapidly, and Wuzong was destroyed soon after his death by the Great Qi Taizu who held the "Tai'a Sword".

"Chu Wuzong is a powerhouse of the Sixth Hells of the Eighth Realm, even more powerful than the current Emperor of Tianxing," the white-haired young man laughed, "The two envoys sent by Taishang Haotian to the Great Wilderness World were killed by him. ”

Gu Xu frowned slightly.

"There has never been a record of Chu Wuzong's cultivation in the history books, let alone these things."

"History books are written by posterity. These things are a great shame for Taishang Haotian! As the lackeys of Taishang Haotian, how could the Great Qi royal family record these shames for others to see? ”

"And how do you know that?"

"Because, that Chu Wuzong is my person."

"Your people?"

"Your people, to be exact. Whether Chu Wuzong kills the envoy or breaks the ladder to the top of Kunlun, it's all your arrangement. It's just that after being reincarnated and reborn, you forget it completely. ”

As the white-haired young man spoke, a large number of familiar and unfamiliar memory fragments suddenly appeared in Gu Xu's mind.

He saw himself floating like a ghost in a dark room, and Luo Chuan stood beside him with a respectful expression.

A middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe knelt in front of him, bowing his head and listening to his orders.

The images are crystal clear, as if they had actually happened.

Gu Xu couldn't help frowning, only to feel that his head hurt badly.

"Am I really not a time-traveler from the earth, but the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei? The experience of the past twenty years on the earth is really just my cultivation in the red dust? ”

When he thought like this, the faces of his parents, relatives, friends, teachers and other people on the earth in his memory gradually became more and more blurred and alienated, as if they had become NPCs in the game, accompanying him to a long big dream, but they could no longer make his emotions fluctuate in the slightest.
