Chapter 45: The Heart of the World
The seven major factions in the rivers and lakes are one sect, two factions, and four pavilions. One is the Shangqing Gate, the two factions are the Jianshan faction, the Danding faction, and the four pavilions are Tengwang Pavilion, Linglong Pavilion, Wanshang Pavilion, and Xuanwu Pavilion.
These seven forces are the most powerful in the rivers and lakes, and there are countless masters, but almost all of them are martial artists. But almost the entire cave world is full of martial artists.
The method they learned is called martial arts, and there are many similarities with the martial arts called by the Huaxia Kingdom in the previous life of Xuanyuan Gu, but the only difference is that many of the martial arts masters in this cave world are a generation of grandmasters, who can open mountains and split stones, can take off, fly for miles, and there is a legend that there is a kind of sword immortal, who can fly thousands of miles with a sword and kill people invisibly.
Of course, most of these are handed down by Guo's father, and some of them are heard by Guo's father from the old father, according to Guo's father, the old father went out of the mountain village when he was young and traveled abroad, so the old father will know these things.
After understanding the general situation of this world, Xuanyuan Gu lived in the village for a few more days, and then left the village after laying a ** array and a defensive array for the village.
After Xuanyuan Gu left the village, at the entrance of the village, the Guo family father and son looked at it from afar.
"Father, is it true that you said that Brother Xuanyuan is not a mortal?"
"Perhaps, my father always thinks that Xuanyuan Gongzi has an extraordinary bearing, he must not be a mortal, and he has been missing for three days, and he can come back intact, could this be the work of a mortal?"
"But didn't Brother Xuanyuan say that he fell into a trap and fell asleep for two days?" Guo Xiaozi was still puzzled, looking at his father and said.
But Guo's father smiled slightly, touched his son's head, and said, "If it were you, if you slept for two days, would you be so energetic when you came back?"
"Uh......!"
Xuanyuan Gu, who left the village, may never know, but the seamless story he thought he made up was easily seen by Guo's father.
Of course, these were not what Xuanyuan Gu was thinking, he was walking on the way to the forbidden place at the moment.
The court is unbearable, the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, smoke is everywhere, but the people are suffering, this way, Xuanyuan Gu saw all the desolation, the villages along the road are sparsely populated, the farmland is even a mess, and some are even barren and overgrown with weeds.
What's more, many remnants of soldiers and bandits robbed everywhere, doing all kinds of evil, and Xuanyuan Gu, who couldn't stand it, encountered these things, so he rushed directly up, killed them in three or five strokes, and saved the people.
But so what, if the court fights with the rebels, if it can't cure the root cause, even if Xuanyuan Gu has been saving these people, there is still only one result, the people suffer.
"Hey, above the boundary, the Terrans are weak, but the Terrans here only know about the civil war, and they are also Terrans, it seems that I have to do something!"
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and after renting a carriage, Xuanyuan Gu's speed was much faster, and soon he came to a place called Death Valley.
It is a place full of miasma, almost no people, and legend has it that there are demons in the depths of this place, and no one dared to enter it many years ago.
But for Xuanyuan Gu, these were just some phantom arrays, and in just a moment, Xuanyuan Gu entered this so-called Death Valley.
After walking for a stick of incense, the overall situation of the valley gradually appeared in front of Xuanyuan Gu's eyes, this is a small valley, and the valley is smaller than the valley where the small village is located.
But there was only one special thing in the whole valley, and that was a huge stone platform, and on top of the stone platform was a small altar, made of an unknown metal, boxy and dark black.
After looking at it a few times, after Xuanyuan Gu saw that there was no danger around, he walked under the stone platform, jumped over, and Xuanyuan Gu came to the stone platform.
Looking at the dark black altar in front of him, Xuanyuan Gu was a little more solemn and confused.
There was nothing on the altar!
"How is this possible, the old man's memory clearly said that his master put the world heart that controlled the entire cave world here, how could it be gone?
"If that's the case, then what a happy thing it is?"
At this moment, Xuanyuan Gu really wanted to die, and after making trouble for a long time, he didn't get anything, and if he couldn't control the hub of this world, I am afraid that he would not be able to get out of this cave world for a long time in the future.
If you can't get out of this world, it means that Xuanyuan Gu's layout for the future will become a mess, and the human race will lose the opportunity.
"No, we must find the heart of the world as soon as possible, and return to the human tribe as soon as possible after controlling this world!"
After thinking about it secretly for a moment, Xuanyuan Gu immediately released his immortal sense and began to look for it little by little on the altar. Time passed little by little, but the result hit Xuanyuan Gu, who was originally full of confidence.
Still haven't found it!
"Is it really not here, is it true that the old man's memories are all fake?"
"No, the old man's master is the owner of this Cave Heaven World, he wasted so much effort just to control this Cave Heaven World, how can it be fake, it must be my negligence!"
"That's right...... Could it be that thing!" At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xuanyuan Gu's mind, and something suddenly appeared.
"No, no...... If it's really that thing, isn't that the piece of jade I got before also the heart of the world?"
As soon as this idea came out, Xuanyuan Gu was shocked by his conjecture, if this conjecture was true, then Xuanyuan Gu would really send it.
But when Xuanyuan Gu took out those two things and compared them, an unexpected situation appeared.
Just as the two similar jade pieces were taken out, they suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then the two ends actually stretched out separately and completely merged into one.
What's even more amazing is that the integrated jade block is like a rectangular piece of ancient jade, with some strange lines carved on it, which seem to be strikingly similar to the lines on the stone bed he found in King Tuhu's palace before.
"This thing can't really be the world hub of this Cave World, the Heart of the World!"
Playing with the rectangular jade block in his hand, Xuanyuan Gu was somewhat skeptical, but the strange lines on it looked very much like the spatial dao pattern, but it was much more complicated than the spatial dao pattern, and the most important thing was that Xuanyuan Gu always felt that this thing had some kind of connection with the stone bed.
"I'm so stupid! Isn't it the heart of the world, don't you know if you can get out?"
Xuanyuan Gu patted his head and immediately recited silently: "Out!"
And the next moment, Xuanyuan Gu found himself in another place.
This is also a valley, if it weren't for the different surroundings, Xuanyuan Gu might think that he hadn't moved at all, besides, although he lost his cultivation, he could still feel it, this is the earth realm. It's just that the specific place in the realm is not clear to him for the time being.
However, after being sure that he had left the Cave Heaven World, Xuanyuan Gu could fully believe that the jade block in his hand was the hub of the Cave Heaven World, the Heart of the World.
"That's right! This thing is the heart of the world, I really didn't expect this heart of the world to be a piece of jade, and ...... By the way, I got a piece of jade before, and now I got a piece from the old man, is that the original owner of this cave world calculated! If that's the case, then ......."
As soon as he thought of this, Xuanyuan Gu broke out in a cold sweat, if this conjecture was true, then the other party would be really terrible, he not only calculated that the old man would betray him, but also knew that in order to take away, he would give the jade piece to himself, and finally let himself restore the heart of the world.
"Conspiracy? or ......"
Thundered......
Just as Xuanyuan Gu was pondering, there was a tremor around him, and immediately after, Xuanyuan Gu saw that the ground under his feet began to shake violently.
"It's not good! Dangerous!" Although he didn't know what was going on, Xuanyuan Gu still secretly said that it was not good, and his body instantly jumped forward, and he hurriedly ran into the distance.
Puff puff!
It seems to be in response to Xuanyuan Gu's conjecture, just as Xuanyuan Gu was running, there was a huge roar in the valley, and then he saw that the entire earth was collapsing, and the speed was so fast that Xuanyuan Gu never thought of it.
"Hurry up!"
"There are still hundreds of zhang! Just a few breaths, just a few breaths, I can escape!
Feeling the constantly collapsing earth behind him, Xuanyuan Gu spread his legs and rushed forward desperately, he wanted to have two more legs now, but one breath passed, and he was only twenty feet away from the valley, but at this moment, the crisis still appeared.
"Damn! It's a regional lava fire, it's bad!"
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in front of him, and the crack was even hotter, and from time to time flames erupted.
If this was placed in normal times, he would just fly over, but now his immortal Dao cultivation has not yet recovered, and all he can rely on is his strong physical fitness and the martial arts foundation of Huaxia in his previous life.
The width of the crack is okay, but once you jump over, you have to avoid the flames.
And at this critical moment, the collapsed ground behind him was immediately less than a dozen feet, and if he didn't jump over the crack in front of him, he would really be buried here.
"Damn! I'm going to have to fight!
Since there is no way back, Xuanyuan Gu has no choice but to fight against the water and gamble.
"Ahh
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Xuanyuan Gu's whole person rolled on the ground, and then he stood up, watching the entire valley behind him collapse, revealing a super black hole, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Whew......!"
"It's so dangerous! I almost died! I escaped the flames at the last minute!"
Xuanyuan Gu, who had palpitations, stood in place and pondered, he didn't expect to encounter this as soon as he came out of the cave world, but what made him wonder even more, what happened to this valley, why did it suddenly collapse, and there was no warning.
But a big roar that followed seemed to explain it all.
Roar!
The roar was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the huge roar was like a giant beast roaring, and the entire void shook one after another, as for Xuanyuan Gu, who was standing next to the deep black hole, he was even more dizzy, so he had to cover his ears desperately, and his legs were even more accelerated to run farther away.
"Damn! What the hell is this! It's terrible! Even the voices of those old monsters in the previous life weren't so terrible!"
