Chapter 1174 Is this... another episode of his thieving addiction?
This speculation is actually somewhat unreasonable.
Because Jiang Xun's time in Qingxuan was actually not long, even if you count to the maximum, it would definitely not exceed fifty years, which does not match the immortal who descended to the mortal world three hundred years ago.
but……
The time Jiang Xun joined Qingxuan is the time he joined Qingxuan. Although it is related to the personality of the people in Qingxuan, he was able to gain a foothold in Qingxuan Holy Land in such a short time. However, it is clear that he had made preparations in advance.
It cannot be ruled out that he descended to the mortal realm three hundred years ago and spent more than two hundred years preparing and planning in advance.
but.
This is not important right now.
The most important thing now is to figure out how to escape this place within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
“Your Highness, why don’t you leave now?” Ling Xuzi said.
"Leave?" Gu Xiu remained expressionless, but felt somewhat lost inside.
How do I leave?
Where to leave?
"Leave Sin Lake first, and avoid Celestial Decree Immortal Venerable!" Ling Xuzi seemed to have made this decision with great difficulty:
"Although we cannot allow you, disciple, to return to the Vast Universe for further training, as an imperial prince, you possess the bloodline of an immortal emperor. As long as we cooperate to activate this formation, you, imperial prince, can leave the Lake of Sin unharmed thanks to your immortal emperor bloodline..."
Gu Xiu finally understood through Ling Xuzi's explanation.
This spirit-sealing array actually has a loophole, or rather, a backdoor.
Because this divine array was created by the four Immortal Emperors, and Haoyu is the burial place of the Emperors, the four Immortal Clans actually encourage their descendants to go to Haoyu to seize opportunities. Therefore, although the Sealing Spirit Divine Array can even kill Immortal Venerables.
However, a back door was left for those of the four immortal clans.
As long as the bloodlines of the four Immortal Emperors exist, even if there is spiritual energy remaining in their bodies, they will not be truly killed by the formation.
This is clearly intended to allow the offspring of the four great immortal clans to return to their clans ahead of time, without having to wait for the spiritual energy to be converted in the Sin Lake.
That is indeed a solution.
However, Gu Xiu shook his head without hesitation at this suggestion:
"no!"
What a joke! The three of them only mistook him for the Emperor's son because the Emperor's vision was too heaven-defying. But they know their own situation. Do they not know whether he is the Emperor's son or not? He would probably be killed by the great formation as soon as he got close to the edge of the Sin Lake.
This method is completely useless for me.
Gu Xiu had initially thought that his refusal might arouse suspicion among the three men, but to his surprise, his unwavering refusal actually made their gazes towards him become more intense.
Then, they started banging and clanging again.
"We will never forget the kindness the imperial prince has shown us!"
"The Imperial Prince was willing to take the risk so as not to implicate us. We are...deeply grateful!"
"From this day forward, we will go through fire and water without hesitation whenever the Prince commands us!"
Ah...no...
What's the fuss about?
Gu Xiu was a little confused and didn't quite understand what the three people meant.
But then they heard Fairy Xuanji say gratefully, "Your Highness, you must already know that if you leave the Sealing Spirit Array, even if we use all our methods, we will not be able to hide the fact that you let me go from the Heavenly Decree Immortal Venerable. The reason you are unwilling to leave is that you do not want us to be punished by the Heavenly Decree Immortal Venerable. Your Highness's actions... we... we will never forget them!"
Gu Xiu: ?
“We are merely rogue cultivators in this immortal realm, like rootless duckweed. Any immortal we encounter can trample on us. Even the Heavenly Decree Immortal Venerable only regards us as obedient ants. When have we ever met someone like you, the Imperial Prince, who would consider our needs?” Ling Xuzi was equally grateful.
Gu Xiu: ? ?
"Your Highness has treated us this way, but we are not heartless. Your Highness, please come out. Your safety is the most important thing. As for us..." Ming Chen, who had been speaking very little, gritted his teeth:
"Senior brother and sister, you two should hurry up and escape with the Emperor Prince. As for Celestial Venerable Tianyu, I... I will try to hold him off. I only hope that after the Emperor Prince escapes, he can take care of my sister a little."
His face was filled with a tragic air, as if he were a man who would die for a friend.
They had even entrusted their children to someone else.
Ling Xuzi and Fairy Xuanji, standing nearby, were both deeply moved, unable to bear watching Ming Chen die.
“Mingchen, you are still young and have unlimited potential for the future. Besides, you have a younger sister to take care of. Leave the matter of keeping watch to me.”
"Let me do it. My methods might delay Celestial Venerable Tianyu for a while longer, at least preventing him from immediately recognizing the traces of the Imperial Prince's use of the Sealing Spirit Divine Array, thus buying you more time."
"Don't try to take it from me. Passing through the Spirit Sealing Divine Array is just the beginning. Next, we need to guard against the possibility of the Imperial Prince being ambushed upon his return to the Immortal Clan. Only the two of you can help the Imperial Prince disguise his identity and escape further!"
"Stop arguing, I'll do it!"
"No, I won't!"
"..."
The three of them started arguing about who should stay and who should go. Clearly, three hundred years of living together had made their relationship extremely close, and they were unwilling to watch each other go to their deaths.
It was Gu Xiu who was at the heart of the dispute.
Some people hesitate to speak.
I... am just an imposter...
He could naturally see that these three were actually just insignificant figures at the very bottom of the Immortal Realm, who had mustered the courage to defy the Immortal Venerable in order to climb the social ladder by becoming his "Imperial Son."
Regardless of their initial intentions, the bond between these three individuals and their willingness to take a gamble at this moment still commanded Gu Xiu's utmost respect.
Immortals are not truly perfect, but they are still flesh and blood.
"okay!"
Seeing the argument escalating, Gu Xiu stopped them from arguing. Once they calmed down, he pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Even if the interdimensional immortal array is activated, Celestial Decree should not be able to detect it. In that case, let's activate the interdimensional immortal array."
"Your Highness, this is unacceptable!"
“Your Highness, the Interdimensional Immortal Array is different from the Spirit Sealing Divine Array. Even if we activate it, Celestial Venerable Tianyu will indeed not be able to detect it. However, without the power to break through the ice layer, even if we open the Interdimensional Immortal Array, it will be useless!”
The three were startled and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but Gu Xiu simply said, "This imperial prince has some methods; perhaps I can break through the ice layer of this Sin Lake."
Could... the ice layer of Sin Lake be broken?
Could it be that this disciple possesses the means to rival a Celestial Venerable's strike?
All three were surprised, but Gu Xiu didn't explain. Seeing that they were still in a daze, he immediately put on a stern face: "Hurry up, Celestial Venerable Tianyu is probably arriving soon!"
That statement did have an effect.
Although the three were still uneasy, they immediately stood still and then activated their cultivation to trigger the interdimensional immortal array that the Sin Lake originally possessed.
Gu Xiu could clearly sense it.
As the great formation operated, something enormous seemed to be spinning rapidly beneath the ice beneath his feet. In the distance, a spatial fluctuation that Gu Xiu had never felt before began to violently tremble, as if forcibly connecting the two worlds little by little.
Seeing this, Gu Xiu took out the Divine Demon Finger Bone that had been with him for a long time.
If we were to say what he possesses that is the strongest, it would be this:
There is no doubt about that.
The Divine Demon Finger Bone is undoubtedly the number one.
Since Gu Xiu obtained it, he has used it only a handful of times. Especially as Gu Xiu's cultivation level has become stronger, he has hardly used the Divine Demon Finger Bone at all, and has mostly used it as a precaution.
During this long period of time, the power accumulated by the Divine Demon Finger Bone continued to increase.
In particular, the Divine Demon Finger Bone absorbed an extremely large amount of power in the previous Four Divine Beasts Secret Realm and the place where the True Immortal Sect was located.
Gu Xiu was unsure whether his strike with the finger bone could rival that of an Immortal Venerable.
But according to his guess...
At least, among all the supreme beings he knew, probably none could withstand a blow from a finger bone!
Even a sword saint is probably no exception.
"Now it's your turn to be tested. You absolutely must hold on, or we'll both be finished." Watching Ling Xuzi and the other two activate the great formation, Gu Xiu rubbed his fingers on his "V"-shaped knuckles as he muttered to himself.
It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous.
However, as they were talking, Gu Xiu's expression suddenly stiffened. He vaguely sensed that the ability of the Divine Demon Finger Bone, which had previously embarrassed him greatly, was suddenly activated without warning this time.
In his hands.
A piece of ice appeared out of nowhere.
This is……
Has the Demon Finger Bone Thief addiction struck again?
