Chapter 768 The Ninth Authority
Eighteen ice crystal-like cold pillars are suspended around the wok and cauldron. Ancient runes are engraved on the cold pillars, emitting a biting cold air that matches the blazing heat in the wok and cauldron. A sharp contrast.
There are countless phantoms floating on the black water, which are blurry figures.
They kept tumbling and struggling in the water, and whenever the black water rolled to the extreme, it turned into a cold water column and swept them into the depths of the wok, causing them to alternate between cold and hot. endure endless torture.
In myths and legends, sinners will suffer extreme torture in this wok and cauldron.
Not only do they endure the torment of wok soup, but they are also forced to look directly at their crimes, and the regret deep in their souls turns into cold air, repeatedly eroding their consciousness.
In Gu Xu's hell, the black water in the wok and cauldron is no longer used to punish the sinner, but to temper his will and Taoist heart.
The illusions that emerged one after another were all projections of himself.
Every impact of the black water was both bone-chilling torture and fiery nirvana, causing his consciousness to shed distracting thoughts in pain and constantly sublimate between destruction and rebirth.
The "Wok Soup Hell" in Northeast China's secluded capital has emerged and is gradually taking shape.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the illusion that emerged in the wok and cauldron gradually changed.
The blurry figure gradually became clearer, and what was reflected in the black water was no longer Gu Xu’s own projection, but a vast and vast world - the faces of all living beings, the various creatures in various poses, and the endless interweaving of heaven and earth. Thousands of causes and effects.
Gu Xu understood that at this moment, he had transcended the limitations of the individual and began to integrate with the vast world and the fate of countless creatures.
"All living beings", this is the ninth authority he has obtained.
However, after the breakthrough, he did not stop his practice, but took this opportunity to explore a deeper realm.
There was nothing else he could do in this white world.
He plans to step into the "Guixu" in one go.
…………
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
At this time, Dahuang has changed its name to "Jianing".
Gu Qingyan has grown a lot taller. Although he is young, he has become slim and graceful, showing dignity in every gesture.
Her mind is also more mature than her peers.
Zhao Yan began to take her to court to guide her in handling court affairs.
Every time he sees his daughter dressed in imperial uniform, with a face that is somewhat similar in outline to Gu Xu, Zhao Yan can't help but feel in a trance, remembering the years when that person was by her side .
Xiao Wanjun has also entered his thirties.
Long-term hard work in dealing with government affairs caused her temples to get a little gray early on.
When Gu Xushang was still alive, she would always quietly pull out the white hair on her temples, not wanting him to see her aging appearance. She would occasionally secretly take a beauty pill to maintain her bright appearance.
However, after Gu Xu passed away, she no longer had the thought of dressing up.
Every day he just put on a robe casually, pulled up his hair in a loose bun, and hurried to the imperial study room to handle busy government affairs with Zhao Yan.
As for Shangguan Jin, she has completely given up the habit of taking care of her makeup carefully for many years.
Today, her face is thin, her brows are indifferent, she has lost the agility of the past, and is a little more tired and haggard, but she doesn't care about it at all.
That person is no longer here, no matter how exquisite the makeup is, who can you show it to?
The portraits of Gu Xu that she had put away long ago were now taken out again and hung in her room.
Last time, she thought he had passed away, so she used his portrait to comfort her sadness. Now, it's just a repeat of the same old tricks.
She also added many new paintings -
He was handling government affairs in the imperial study, he was sitting in the hall overlooking the courtiers, he was setting off fireworks by the lake during the New Year, he was lying in the bathtub with his eyes closed and meditating. He...
When she looked at these portraits, she could not help but reveal a faint smile, as if he was still by her side.
But you can smile and laugh, but the tears will fall down uncontrollably.
"Gu Lang," she murmured softly, "last time, I thought you had passed away, but I didn't expect you were still alive. You even defeated Emperor Ziwei and shattered his plan to seize the body.< br>
“This time, can you let me witness another miracle?”
…………
Chen Suhui in Lingxiao Realm still doesn’t know that Gu Xu has passed away.
She still practices in the Bixia Palace under the title of "Holy Girl", walking on thin ice all day long, fearing that one day Supreme Haotian will discover her true identity and put her to death.
Whenever she felt nervous and uneasy, she would always stand by the window, looking into the distance, her fingertips gently stroking the bracelet made of dog tail grass on her wrist, hoping that His Majesty in the wild world would protect her and keep her safe. .
Since Taishang Haotian took control of the ninth authority "Junlin", his dominance in the Lingxiao world has become more and more stable.
In the past, many major forces might have joined forces to raise objections to him.
But now, the most powerful Dragon Clan has been completely wiped out, and the most stubborn anti-thief Taiping Sect has also fled to the wilderness.
Even when Gu Xu destroyed the melting pot and almost caused the Tiangong Floating Island to fall from the sky, some people had different thoughts.
But now these people have been suppressed by Taishang Haotian with strong methods, and even completely eliminated without mercy.
No matter where the Tiangong floating island wanders, thousands of people will prostrate themselves and worship.
It seems to be a matter of course for Taishang Haotian to ascend to the ninth realm.
…………
On this day, an earth-shattering vision appeared in the Lingxiao world.
The originally calm sky was suddenly torn apart, countless purple lightnings intertwined like dragons, thunder rolled, shaking the world, like eternal bells echoing in all directions.
As the lightning gradually dissipated, the sky suddenly ignited with blazing golden flames, and the dazzling light fell from the sky, like a celestial river pouring down, covering the entire spirit world in a bright golden glow, making everything in the world instantly eclipse.
The Tiangong floating island suspended in the air suddenly shook violently, and then rose higher into the sky at an alarming speed, as if being lifted up into the sky by an invisible force.
Around the floating island, the space collapses and quickly reorganizes layer by layer, and the distorted light and shadow interweave into strange textures, as if the order is being reshaped to welcome some kind of supreme existence.
All the monks in the Lingxiao world were alarmed and had to interrupt their practice.
They clearly sensed that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was like an unbridled stream, rushing crazily in the same direction, converging into a long river of spiritual energy that ran through the sky and the earth, pointing straight into the depths of the sky, majestic and majestic .
When the spiritual energy surged into the sky, phantoms of fairy palaces condensed in the depths of the sea of clouds.
The fairy palace is majestic and vast, with towering buildings, golden tiles and glazed glass reflecting the skylight, and five-color auspicious clouds flowing between the eaves and brackets.
"Jade Capital".
At this moment, this word appeared in the soul of everyone in Lingxiao World involuntarily.
