Chapter 18


  Everyone agreed dryly, how could they not know that Gu Yue was giving them a step down?

  You must know that high-ranking spirit beasts are very proud. Take the mountain-protecting spirit snake of the sect as an example, even the head of the sect  may not pay attention to it

  Probably only Gu Daoyou can be so casual with divine beasts!

  What's more, recovering a spiritual beast is also an extremely difficult task. Qiu Xuan feels this deeply. Her double-eyed mouse Lingling was accidentally met when she was a child, and she coaxed it with snacks for several months. I don't know how Gu Daoyou obtained this divine beast.

  And what surprised Qiu Xu the most was that this mythical beast was exactly the same as what Gu Daoyou described at the time. Could it be that this mythical beast really appeared just for Gu Daoyou... Thinking of this, Qiu Xu could no longer express admiration in his heart.

  Although there was a small interlude, no one dared to ask any more questions. Most of the high-level spirit beasts had quite bad tempers, and the most important thing for them now was to meditate quickly to heal their injuries and continue to recover.

  Fortunately, when Gu Yue was protecting the law, no one else disturbed him.

  Soon after, they saw a majestic and tall palace in the distance flying through the heavy clouds. Everywhere it passed, it blocked the sky and the sun, and the waves were magnificent. Everyone looked up and looked at the wonderful scene in front of them!

  This time, one of Mingzong's most important flying artifacts, Yunshang Palace, was dispatched to meet everyone.

  It was also the first time for the four of them to see a magical weapon of this level, and they all showed a bit of surprise on their faces. However, everyone knew very well that they naturally did not expect the sect to mobilize so many troops. After all, it would cost a lot to activate the Yunshang Palace. There are quite a few spirit stones, but this time they are still in Gu Yue's favor.

  As Yunshang Palace got closer and closer, a spiritual light fell from the palace, and a Taoist Qingyi with long eyebrows and white hair appeared in front of everyone. He quickly looked at everyone and saw that there was nothing serious. His sharp eyes He locked Gu Yue tightly.

  Everyone didn't know who this white-haired Taoist was, they just felt that his cultivation was unfathomable, like a vast ocean, and they didn't know which elder of the sect he was.

  At this time, another middle-aged Taoist came down, and everyone was familiar with that Taoist. He was Zhuang Buwen, the master of Gongde Hall, one of the three halls of Mingzong. His cultivation had reached the late stage of yuanying, and he was only one step away from becoming a god.

  Seeing that Zhuang Buwen was still one step behind this old man, everyone immediately understood that this old man might be one of the sect's extinct masters.

  This old man is Master Lingxi. A few days ago Mingzong received a distress message from Cui He, which caused an uproar among Mingzong's senior management.

  Although Gu Yue is now secretly watched by Ming Zong, no one thought that this time it was just a secret realm that was only at the Golden Core stage and below, and that he would be able to obtain such a legendary opportunity as a mythical beast!

  Hearing the news that everyone was in danger, Mingzong naturally didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent Zhuang Buwen to come to meet them.

  And when Master Lingxi heard about this, he couldn't sit still anymore. Since he reached the late stage of the stage of transformation, he has entered a bottleneck, and no matter how hard he looks for opportunities, he can't get a glimpse of how to break through the Mahayana stage.

  Master Lingxi had no choice but to hone his state of mind in seclusion all year round, searching hard for that little opportunity that has no trace.

  Originally, such a day was not boring, after all, they are old monsters with cultivation base, who is not like this?

  What's more, there are no years for cultivators. At the stage of divine transformation, their lifespan is close to two thousand years. They are not like demon cultivators who need to constantly fight for territory and find ways to maintain their status. They enjoy the worship of the sect and the respect of their disciples. Nothing bad.

  But ever since he was repeatedly slapped in the face that day in Daluotian Palace, Master Lingxi has recalled the scene from time to time. He has lived for thousands of years and has never had such a humiliating day! In front of his juniors, he lost all his face and integrity!

  Of course, Master Lingxi would not have any prejudice against Gu Yue because of this. Since the nephew of the master said that Gu Yue might be responsible for the sect's destiny in the future, let's wait and see.

  In fact, Master Lingxi still disapproved of it. Even if he is a mere junior, no matter how talented he is, if he has some blessings from heaven, what if he chooses a blessed place?

  Who wasn't a genius back then, to be able to get to where he is today, Master Lingxi had been brilliant for a long time! When his name was mentioned at that time, who didn't know? It's just that people of his generation were almost dead.

  It can be seen that even a cultivator is still so small in the world, and Master Lingxi doesn't think that a junior can affect the fate of the sect.

  But when he heard that Gu Yue got the divine beast, Master Lingxi still couldn't restrain his curiosity.

  What is so special about this Gu Yue that even the gods and beasts were born for him?

  So this trip, Master Lingxi also proposed to come. He hadn't stepped out of the sect for a long time, and the head of the sect was shocked when he learned of this, and tried to persuade him.

  But Master Lingxi couldn't see the doorway here, he directly used his seniority to overwhelm others, and then rushed here with Zhuang Buwen and Yunshang Palace.

  As soon as he arrived, Master Lingxi looked at Gu Yue critically, looked left and right... didn't find anything wrong... After living for thousands of years, this is the first time Master Lingxi has seen his appearance Such a handsome person, the Wu Jiu Mozun back then was also famous for his handsomeness, but that kind of demon cultivator, Master Lingxi, ten thousand people looked down on him, not to mention, to be honest, Gu Yue not only surpassed his face but also his temperament.

  Master Lingxi withdrew his gaze, but still had a serious expression. He swept his whisk away indifferently and said, "Since we are asking for help from the sect, why is there no trace of the demon cultivator?" Because the others are still recovering from their injuries and will not be able to get up for a while.

    Gu Yue had no choice but to answer on his behalf: "Disciple should leave the secret realm later. The situation i saw at that time was indeed very critical. However, later, the demon cultivators saw that the situation was not good and they could not get any benefits, so they retreated first." At the same time, Gu Yue was thinking in his heart. He secretly thought, as expected, those few cultivators who didn't look very serious were demon cultivators. Hey, didn't he just fight with a person in a secret realm, so why did he bring people to surround him?

  So Gu Yue didn't want to go into details, after all, all of this was probably caused by himself.

  Master Lingxi narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that there must be something hidden in his words. How could the demonic cultivator leave the divine beast untouched, and he had already reached the point of asking for help from the sect. The demonic cultivator must have had an advantage at that time. Could it be that this divine beast was as it is indeed a myth.

  Master Lingxi turned around with this thought, and an extremely huge and vast spiritual consciousness also swept towards Gu Yue. Just now, Master Lingxi covered the area with his spiritual consciousness to check if there were any auras of other cultivators around, but it was of no use. His spiritual consciousness specifically looked at Gu Yue.

  In the world of comprehension, how to use one's consciousness is very particular.

  Under normal circumstances, cultivators will use spiritual power to protect their whole body to prevent other cultivators from prying at them. In the world of cultivation, there are also spiritual consciousness-type techniques. Of course, this kind of technique is extremely difficult to practice.

  At the same time, cultivators should also use their spiritual consciousness to keep an eye on their surroundings at all times, and beware of sneak attacks by others.

  The spiritual consciousness can be said to be the second set of senses of the cultivator, so even if the cultivator is in meditation, the spiritual consciousness will not be closed.

  But low-level cultivators must remember one thing, that is, do not use your spiritual consciousness to randomly explore other cultivators, because if you meet a high-level cultivator, it will be offensive. If the other party is unwilling to forgive you, it is very likely to counterattack you.

  Of course, the situation is different for high-level cultivators. Their spiritual consciousness is already powerful and they can easily perceive a cultivator's cultivation level, but they rarely investigate a certain cultivator because there is really no need.

  What's more, when they reach a certain level, they don't like to deal with other cultivators, because they are afraid of some cause and effect, and the robbery cloud will be too deep, and they will not be able to ascend.

  Therefore, the higher the cultivation level, the less the cultivators appear, and most of them practice in seclusion, except of course the magic cultivators.

  Master Lingxi used his spiritual sense to investigate Gu Yue, which was condescending to him.

  If he hadn't obviously felt that Gu Yue had advanced to another level in such a short period of time, reaching the middle stage of Jindan, this would have been unheard of. In addition, Master Lingxi also noticed a bulge on Gu Yue's clothes, has the aura of life, guess it is the "divine beast", so Master Lingxi took a look.

  Master Lingxi's spiritual consciousness is so majestic. As a cultivator at the peak of the divine transformation stage, he is considered one of the best in the world.

  When Master Lingxi slowly swept over the junior in front of him with his profound spiritual consciousness, his expression changed drastically in the next second!

  His divine consciousness was actually ejected by an indescribable and indescribable force. Not only that, at this moment, Master Lingxi also felt a kind of fear that he hadn't felt for a long time.

  The opponent's body seemed to contain a kind of unprecedented deep energy, as endless as the abyss and the sea. When his spiritual consciousness penetrates into it, it's like he has strayed into a vast and boundless universe, a bottomless ocean! This reminded Master Lingxi of how insignificant and insignificant he was when he first entered Taoism!

  What kind of power is this!

  Master Lingxi was shocked. Is this the power of the divine beast?

  And the divine beast didn't show up at all, it was just a warning to himself.

  Master Lingxi knew very clearly that the reason why this divine beast warned him was not because he wanted to investigate Gu Yue?

  Protecting the Lord of the Divine Beast means that Gu Yue is really the master of this Divine Beast now, and the fact that this Divine Beast is so well protected means that he does not want to cause cause and effect between himself and Gu Yue.

  At this moment, Master Lingxi couldn't help but feel a little envious of Gu Yue, for being able to make such a powerful beast recognize him as the master.

  Master Lingxi took a moment to suppress the sea of ​​qi that was constantly churning because of the ejection of his consciousness just now, and then he said to Gu Yue nonchalantly: "I understand, you go up first."

      Gu Yue saw the other party like this. He was easy to talk to and relieved. I thought that the serious old man would definitely ask some difficult questions about me, but people should not be judged by their appearance.

  Gu Yue nodded. Seeing that his teammates were taken care of, he didn't waste any time. He stood up with his sword and saw a cloud-like staircase extending from the sea of ​​clouds to the upper palace that day. Gu Yue followed the ladder up.

  However, what Gu Yue didn't know was that as soon as he left, Zhuang Buwen, the lord of the Hall of Merit and Virtue, had already learned about what happened just now from other people.

  He hurriedly ran to Master Lingxi with a look of surprise on his face and reported: "Master! Do you know that Gu Yue..." He rambled a lot, thinking that Master Lingxi must not believe it, after all, he still remembered how Master Lingxi had denied Gu Yue several times in the past few days...

  However, this time, Master Lingxi just calmly twirled his beard and said: "Oh, just speak, What are you making all the fuss about?"

  He really don't know much.

  *

  As soon as Gu Yue arrived at the Yunshang Palace, he couldn't help sighing, it really was the handiwork of the immortal family.

  He saw that the palace was as big as a small mountain, the flying palace and the precious pavilion, the pearls and jades were shining, connected with the auspicious clouds in the sky, surrounded by misty mist, accompanied by clouds and clouds.

  What a magnificent spectacle!

  What's more, according to Gu Yue's knowledge, the Yunshang Palace is a real treasure of the Ming Sect. It not only looks beautiful, but also has extremely high defense and speed. It ranks high on the sect's magic weapon rankings.

  The real weapon is higher than the spiritual weapon, because the magic weapon has a consciousness, and with spiritual wisdom, it can transform the spirit into a form, and is no longer a tool for people to use at will.

  Although Gu Yue felt that it was a bit too grand when the treasure was brought to support them, but it was very common for many real weapons to not like to stay in one place.

  As soon as Gu Yue walked up to the palace on the cloud, he was thinking of finding a place to rest for a while. He was a little tired from protecting the Dharma for everyone just now.

  At this time, a little Taoist boy appeared in front of him. He was wearing a red bellyband and had a handsome appearance. When he saw Gu Yue, he said timidly: "Taoist priest, do you want me to lead the way?"

  Gu Yue saw that this little Taoist boy was cute and smart, so he said kindly, "I'll bother you then." At the same time, Gu Yue knew that he couldn't let others help him in vain, and he had to give him something, but If it was an ordinary spirit stone, Gu Yue felt that it was too casual. After all, it was not easy for this boy to work in the cloud palace, so it must have something to do with it.

  Gu Yue thought for a while, then took out a small magic weapon that he didn't need from the storage bag and handed it to Dao Tong.

  Xiao Daotong's face suddenly showed joy, and he was about to step up to pick him up.

  However, at this moment, the little Zaizai who had been lazy in Gu Yue's arms suddenly came out, stretched out his furry paws and slapped Gu Yue's hand away.

  Before Gu Yue could react, the little Taoist boy had already taken a step back in shock, retracted his hand, and carefully hid aside. He did not dare to look at Gu Yue, but lowered his head, looking a little aggrieved.

  Gu Yue was also stunned, he didn't expect Fu Bao to do this.

  In the past, Zaizai didn't like to get close to people, except for himself. Gu Yue could completely understand this. After all, Zaizai was not a pet, but a spiritual beast that accompanied him.

  Gu Yue didn't require it to be friendly to others or have any other skills, but Gu Yue didn't expect it to be so overbearing that it wouldn't even allow it to give anything to others.

  But Gu Yue was not angry. Ever since he hatched Fu Bao that day, from the moment he brought it to this world, Gu Yue knew that he and it had established a unique bond.

  It can be said that in this world, Gu Yue knows that the only thing that belongs to him is Xiao Zai Zai, no matter what happens in the future, Xiao Zai Zai is his responsibility.

  So when he saw Zaizai doing this, Gu Yue immediately reflected on himself, whether he had not taught Zaizai the relationship well before. He knew that Zaizai was very spiritual. Sometimes, Gu Yue felt Xiao Zai Zai could understand what he said, but he just ignored him on purpose.

  Gu Yue then became serious, and said to Xiao Zai Zai: "Fu Bao, you can't do this."

  Hearing Gu Yue's words, the little Zaizai's furry round ears twitched slightly, but still did not speak, staring at him with his big dark eyes.

  Seeing Zaizai's appearance, Gu Yue instantly softened his heart, but still forced himself to play the role of a strict father, but his voice couldn't help but soften: "Our Zaizai want to be good children, you can't be so rude. Right..."

  But before he could finish his words, this time the little Taoist boy waved his hands in panic and said: "Taoist Master, I, it's okay with me, I'm just leading the way, Taoist Master doesn't need to give me anything..."

  Seeing the little Taoist boy's refusal, Gu Yue had no choice but to give up. It wasn't a big deal anyway.

  On the way, the little Taoist boy led Gu Yue up from the palace one step at a time. The more he went up, the more Gu Yue felt the beauty of the scenery here.

  Looking down from a high place, you can see the mountains and rivers stretching and the misty clouds, showing the shape of the nine states in the world. Its waves are magnificent and impressive. And looking at the sky again, the setting sun slants down between the lines, the colorful clouds change endlessly, and I feel that the world is vast and the world is misty.

  It turns out that this is what it feels like to be above the sky.

  Gu Yue couldn't help but show a somewhat leisurely smile.

  After bringing Gu Yue to the highest point of Yunque, at this moment the little Taoist boy turned his head and took a peek at Gu Yue, hope was rekindled in his heart, he said more cautiously this time: "Master Daoist, I am used to staying alone here, we have always talked very little, and will not disturb the Taoist priest, if the Taoist priest doesn't mind, I will lead the Taoist priest next time."

     Gu Yue couldn't help laughing when he heard this, the palace in the cloud belongs to the sect. The treasure should be rarely used on weekdays. Next time, I don’t know how long it will be before I board the Yunzhong Palace again.

  He originally thought that this little Taoist boy would be very happy and happy in this Yunzhong Palace, but thinking about it this way, it was also a very lonely thing to go out so rarely on weekdays.

  Seeing the little boy's respectful and expectant look, Gu Yue couldn't explain to him that he might not come here again, so Gu Yue nodded.

  At this time, the little Zaizai half-squinted his eyes lazily and was held in Gu Yue's arms. He pressed his front paws on Gu Yue's chest and said nothing.

  But the little boy was overjoyed, walked up to Gu Yue, respectfully took out a ball-like object and handed it to Gu Yue, "Thanks to the Daoist for not giving up, please accept this..."

  The more you don't accept it, the little boy still anxiously explained: "Even if you don't use it, it's okay to give it to you...to play with.

  Gu Yue never thought that things would develop like this. He wanted to give it to you before. Dao Tong bought something, and the other party confiscated it, but now he wants to give him something, no, it's something for Xiao Zai Zai. In fact, Gu Yue doesn't want to accept it. How dare he accept it from someone who is a dignified Jindan Daoist

  What about a Taoist gift?

  But Gu Yue took a look at the thing, it was dark and gloomy, and he didn't feel any aura. It must not be something expensive, and Gu Yue didn't object when he saw the little boy in his arms. What if it likes it?

  So Gu Yue hesitated for a moment, but accepted it and thanked him sincerely.

  Seeing him accept it, the Taoist boy couldn't help but be overjoyed and was about to say something else, but then he saw the black and white dumpling in Gu Yue's arms looking down at him. His face paled slightly and he hurriedly backed away. down.

  Naturally, Gu Yue couldn't see this scene. As soon as the little boy left, Gu Yue picked up the little Zaizai from his arms and placed it on a cloud couch. He handed the ball to it and nodded helplessly. Flicked the tip of the pink nose and said: "Next time, don't do this."

  The little Zaizai flicked the ball casually with his little paws, then lost interest and pushed it aside, just making a perfunctory hum sound from his throat.

  As soon as he heard Fu Bao's voice, Gu Yue stared at the little Zaizai in front of him and couldn't care about anything else.

  Xiao Zai Zai immediately looked away, as if nothing happened.

  However, Gu Yue excitedly scratched Xiao Zai Zai's chin, he remembered that the panda's cry was also like this.

  The little Zaizai then lay down again. Perhaps it was because Gu Yue was too comfortable with him, so he wagged his tail very helpfully.

  Gu Yue then struck while the iron was hot and coaxed softly: "Zai Zai, my dear little boy, just say 'hmm hmm' again." The little Zai Zai glanced at him without any reaction.

  Gu Yue smoothed his hair again, and suddenly heard a soft "hmm" sound.
