Chapter 212 Entering the Abyss, Encountering Gu Jingyu Again!?
Such a speed of advancement is probably unmatched even by the holy sons of those holy lands.
"You seem quite confident!" the Lady with the Lantern said with a smile.
"That's for sure, but I wonder what cultivation levels the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking are." Gu Jiancheng smiled.
The Holy Maiden of the Lotus Pavilion still appears to be at the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm.
"They probably don't have as high a cultivation level as me, but their combat strength is another matter."
The Holy Maiden of Lotus Pavilion smiled mysteriously, and then said, "Although I have a sacred artifact protecting me, this Purifying Lotus Lamp is only an auxiliary sacred artifact."
“The top geniuses of other forces also have sacred artifacts protecting them. We just need to wait for the right opportunity to act.”
"I will leave everything to the Holy Maiden's arrangement!" Gu Jiancheng nodded.
He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to be the first to stick his neck out.
"We might be separated after we teleport in."
"I'll go to the deepest part of the abyss to check the situation first. Your task is to collect any crimson aura that may exist in other areas of the abyss."
"Then come find me again."
"I'll help you hold back the top ten fighters on the Heavenly Ranking. It all depends on your performance."
At this moment, the Holy Maiden Xuanji suddenly spoke.
“Crimson malevolent energy?” Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why does Lotus Pavilion collect this crimson malevolent energy?”
“Telling you won’t hurt.” The Holy Maiden of Xuanji suddenly gave Gu Jiancheng a deep look, and then said, “Because whether it is the three holy lands or the demon race, some of them entered the Ruins of Return in order to find this scarlet evil energy.”
"This is the task assigned from above: to stop them from obtaining more Crimson Aura."
"Don't worry, as long as you do a good job, there will be a generous reward in the building. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
The Holy Maiden of Xuanji didn't seem to want to explain further, or perhaps she herself couldn't explain it clearly to Gu Jiancheng. She turned around and disappeared from the altar with the maid.
Gu Jiancheng shrugged. The words of the Holy Maiden Xuanji were not much different from what he had guessed before. He was not surprised. After all, the Holy Maiden was just a Holy Maiden. She could not represent the Lotus Pavilion, much less the power behind him.
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng stepped into the altar, which was surging with spatial fluctuations.
His body was torn apart in an instant, but almost instantly, Gu Jiancheng felt as if he had returned to normal.
However, when Gu Jiancheng looked around, he found himself in complete darkness.
The surrounding space was a deep and chaotic darkness. The wind howled like ghosts, and the air was filled with a malevolent aura like blades, cutting into the body.
"Humph!"
Gu Jiancheng snorted coldly, and arcs of fiery lightning danced across his body, isolating him from the malevolent aura.
Then his starry eyes flashed, and his insightful light pierced through the darkness, revealing that he was indeed on the rock wall of a deep abyss.
Gu Jiancheng looked up at the sky, but found no heavens. Even with his Insightful Eyes, he couldn't see through this abyss!
Could this really be the bottomless abyss of ancient legends?!
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng turned his gaze to the bottom of the abyss. Even with his Divine Eye of Insight, he could only vaguely see an ancient building floating in the deepest part of the abyss.
There was even a faint, blood-red figure, like an ancient, unparalleled demon.
This is the guy that the Holy Maiden Xuanji showed him before!
Furthermore, Gu Jiancheng discovered that there were many places where scarlet evil energy gathered on the mountain walls surrounding this abyss.
The concentration was highest in the center of the abyss, where the pressure of an ancient formation was also present.
Therefore, without the protection of sacred artifacts, the only way to continue deeper into the mountainside is to slowly descend along the cliff face.
Gu Jiancheng wasn't in a hurry to head straight for the Abyss Ancient Tower. After all, a mysterious being with the potential to be a Saint Realm warrior was guarding there. Even if the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of powerful forces joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.
However, Gu Jiancheng also discovered the auras of many powerful individuals on the surrounding abyss walls.
The three holy lands, as well as many younger cultivators from the demon and monster races, have also arrived in this abyss.
Moreover, like Gu Jiancheng, they had all landed on the rock face.
Without the protection of sacred artifacts, they were unable to directly cross the abyss.
As the Holy Maiden Xuanji said, these cultivators were now approaching the nearest source of malevolent energy.
These guys really are after the crimson aura!
Even more so, Gu Jiancheng sensed a familiar aura within it.
The presence of Jiang Hongyi, the ancient ape clan, and even another aura caused Gu Jiancheng's expression to change drastically!
"Gu Jingyu!?"
He actually sensed Gu Jingyu, who had disappeared for so long, within this abyss!?
Ever since Tai Xuanzong defeated Gu Jingyu, this elder brother has disappeared from his sight.
Gu Jiancheng thought Gu Jingyu would be devastated or return to Daqian, but he never expected to meet him here again.
Moreover, what surprised Gu Jiancheng even more was that his elder brother's aura was quite strange. Not only was his cultivation aura extremely strong, reaching the peak of the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm, but his body also had the same strange smell as the cultivators under the Dingtian Holy Land!
Gu Jingyu actually cultivated the evil secret techniques of the Holy Land!?
How did he get into the Holy Land?
Although Gu Jiancheng was full of confusion, he still snorted coldly and walked along the stone steps of the rock wall to approach the source of the evil energy.
At this moment, Gu Jingyu was positioned opposite him, still quite a distance away.
To get there, he first needs to deal with the opponents along the way.
Soon, Gu Jiancheng arrived at the nearest source of malevolent energy, but to his surprise, the source of this malevolent energy appeared to be a crimson blood cocoon that was a hundred feet in size!
Even now, this blood cocoon is beating like a heart, as if there is life breathing within it!
"monster!?"
Gu Jiancheng stared intently, but before he could examine it closely, the blood cocoon suddenly burst open, unleashing a torrent of malevolent energy that transformed into a raging storm.
hum!
In an instant, a sharp, blade-like ray suddenly pierced through the abyss space and struck right in front of them.
Gu Jiancheng suddenly raised his hand, bent his fingers to form a sword, and slashed out.
Click!
The next moment, two sharp beams exploded in the crimson blood energy. Gu Jiancheng remained still, and after the crimson blood energy in front of him exploded, he was finally able to see clearly that what attacked him was a ferocious monster covered with blood-red scales.
Although this monster looks humanoid, its body is a hundred feet long.
Its arms were as sharp as blades, its mouth full of fangs opened, and with a roar, its arms transformed into a cross of sharp points, pouncing towards Gu Jiancheng once again!
Its speed was extremely fast, and its whole body was filled with a fierce aura, comparable to the peak of the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm!
It would be really difficult for ordinary juniors on the Heavenly Ranking to withstand it.
"Heh, as expected, evil spirits are born in such bloody places!"
But to Gu Jiancheng now, they are nothing more than ants.
As Gu Jiancheng's sword realm spread, sword shadows swept away like a storm, instantly engulfing the monster.
In the blink of an eye, the monster was shattered by the lightning-like storm of sword energy.
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng reached out and took a fist-sized blood-red crystal into his hand.
This is the crystallization of the crimson malevolent energy.
Although it wasn't as concentrated as the piece inside the Blood Sword Half-Saint's body, it was definitely the largest piece that Gu Jiancheng obtained in this Ruins of Return.
Furthermore, Gu Jiancheng discovered that on the blood cocoon from which the blood monster was born, there was a blood-red ancient vine, which seemed to cover the entire abyss rock wall.
And the blood cocoon is like the fruit of an ancient vine!
When Gu Jiancheng activated his Divine Eyes, he discovered that this seemingly inconspicuous ancient vine was actually extraordinary!
It seems that he has already found the treasure as soon as he arrived at this abyss!
