Three months later, Void City.
Outside the city, a vast and empty dock, ten thousand dragons pulling a huge flying boat came roaring in, the entire sky was completely covered, the rolling momentum was so overwhelming that it made people breathless.
Above the void, horses and carriages are galloping, one by one, cultivators riding on flying birds and beasts from all directions, then boarding a flying boat as big as a mountain. This Wan Jiao Flying Boat will go to the ancient fairy ferry of the Ghost Mountain Range, which only sails once a month and takes nine days to reach its destination.
Guo Yi stood in mid-air, silently watching as one by one the cultivators boarded the flying boat, then he too headed towards the flying boat.
"Boss, where are you going?" came a shout from behind, from the second floor of the Hua's building.
"Go home."
"Will you come back then?"
"Of course, the people of Longyuan Royal Sword Garden are still waiting for me, how can I not come back. After I avenge my family's hatred and destroy the three major sword sects, I will go to the Divine Spirit Graveyard to dig a lonely grave, and bury myself there, to accompany her, so that I can be closer to her, and she won't feel lonely." Guo Yi's eyes were slightly moist, but with more determination, he stepped firmly onto the Wan Jiao Flying Boat.
Three months ago, Guo Yi woke up and Hua Er Lou told him a long story for three days and three nights before finally telling him that Liu Yanran was already dead.
Kwok Yat went from being heartbroken to a period of numbness, then became silent and unresponsive, but eventually stabilized his emotions and decided to temporarily leave the painful place to complete two things he still had to do.
On that day, when descending from Shengwu Mountain, Guo Yao said he had to complete three worldly affairs. The first thing was to go to Baigushan to find Li Xiaoyan, but what he didn't expect was that so many twists and turns would occur in the process, narrowly escaping death several times, with all sorts of entanglements of love and hate. However, at least he now knew that Li Xiaoyan had become the newly appointed Holy Maiden of Baigushan, so naturally he no longer needed to worry about her.
The second thing is the one-year bet between Ji You Ran and her junior sister, now that a year has passed, it's also time for Guo Yi and Guo Lu to have a decisive battle.
Ji You Ran has a favor to ask of Guo Yao, this battle Guo Yao absolutely cannot be late.
Guo Lu was a servant of Guo Ye, but the two were not much different in age. It's better to say that they were brothers who grew up together rather than master and servant.
Guo Yi stood at the bow of the Wan Jiao Fei Zhou, gazing at the clouds drifting away quickly, trying to temporarily put down the shadow of Liu Yanran in his mind. He then thought of Guo Lu, whom he had been separated from for a year, and muttered to himself: "I wonder how you are doing now? After this battle, we will return to the Cloud State Small World, it's also time for the Tai Ling Sect to repay its debts."
Ten days later, Guo Yi stepped into the Secluded City again and headed straight for the Lord's Manor.
The princess seemed to have known that Guo Ye was coming back today, the black palace gate was wide open, and an old woman stood at the gate, nodding and smiling at Guo Ye.
The princess stood alone, wearing a fiery red dress, holding an iron sword in her hand, with an icy face like frost, standing tall in front of the exquisite iron phoenix chair at the top of the grand hall.
"Nice to meet the city master!" Guo Yi slightly bowed and paid his respects.
She gazed at Guo Yi's calm face, nodded slightly, and a hint of strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes. She said with satisfaction: "Your grandfather has already told me about your affairs. You can face it calmly, which means that your determination is firm enough. After this trial by blood and tears, I believe you have become more mature and more experienced than a year ago. This is a good thing for you. The path of the strong requires a heart that has been tempered thousands of times. The weak are destined to disappear in the long river of time. Only the strong can laugh in the end."
Kwok Yat Kiu said: "Thanks for your advice, City Master. I already know all these things. When shall I go to fulfill the gambling agreement of one year?"
"No need to say more, your junior sister knows your movements better than anyone. Your cultivation has made rapid progress, completely exceeding her evaluation of you, and even my own evaluation of you. In just one year's time, from the fifth layer of the 'Great Martial Scripture' to the late stage of the Seventh Palace of the Spirit Realm, even Chu Ge, who is currently ranked first on the Spirit List, didn't have such a fast pace of progress."
Lian Ji, who had always been reluctant to praise others, couldn't help but admire Guo Ye at this moment.
Kwok Yat exclaimed: "The city master means..."
"Shi Mei has already conceded defeat on her own, and your servant will be coming to find you soon." Ji You Ran looked at Guo Yao and said: "You must be asking me again, aren't you?"
Kwok Yat indeed had to ask Ji You Ran again, because when Kwok Lou rushed over, it was also the time when the two returned to the small world of Yunzhou. However, going from the big world to the small world is not an easy task, at least Kwok Yat still doesn't know how to get back now.
Since Guo Lu has arrived, it is believed that Ji You Ran also knows the fact that Guo Yao and others come from Yunzhou Small World.
Guo Yidao said: "I believe the city master already knows what I asked of you, so please, city master, enlighten me."
"There are two ways to leave the Great World. The first is through the Void Gate, but there are very few people who can open it, and most of the time, it requires several top experts working together to open it, which is a very troublesome thing." Ji You Ran said.
"What about the second one?"
"The second is relatively simpler, that is to walk through the world gate. The world gate is a connecting passage between the big world and the small world. As long as the small world is born, the corresponding world passage will also be born in the adjacent big world, and each small world has more than one world passage."
"The Gate of the World." Gu Yan muttered in a low voice, then continued to ask: "I wonder where the Gate of the World is in the small world of Yunzhou?"
"Guxian City is the largest intersection of world gates in the southern part of the Great World of Ancient Xuan. I've already sent someone to inquire about it, and there's a world gate there that leads to Yunzhou Small World." Ji You Ran said.
Guo Ye just passed by Guxian Du Kou today and didn't even enter the ancient city of Guxian, but immediately rushed back to Youjin City. Now he has to turn back again.
Guo Yi did not expect Ji You Ran's arrangements to be so thoughtful, and he felt grateful. He slightly bowed his fist in courtesy and said, "Thank you, City Master."
"No need to thank me, Grandfather has praised you to the sky and scolded you to the ground, he wants me to bring you to our Ji family no matter what, so now you are considered a member of our Ji family. What I've done for you is nothing." Ji You said it very directly, without beating around the bush.
Guo Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he felt that Ji You Ran's words were laced with hidden meaning, and it seemed like he had once again become entangled in some complex struggle for power.
In the vast world of Gu Xuan, there are four large families, but none of them have the surname Ji. So where is the Ji family that Ji You Ran spoke of?
Ji Yu Ran seemed to see the doubt in Guo Yi's heart, so he said: "Your current cultivation is still too low, it's better if you don't know some things. You only need to know that even the ancient Xuan domain great world is just a shallow bay of water, this universe is really too big."
Guo Yiruo nodded thoughtfully.
"When you return from the small world, don't come to see me again. When I want to find you, I will naturally know where you are. Work hard to improve your cultivation, there is still a decade of time left, and everything should begin then!"
Ten years, and then another ten years, what will happen after ten years? This was not the first time Guo Yi had heard this number, what did it portend?
Guo Yi walked out of the city master's mansion, and Ji You Ran handed him the second part of the "Nine Changes of the Mysterious Fire Technique", the Orange Fire Chapter. He told Guo Yi that three days later, Guo Lu would arrive at Guxian Ferry, so Guo Yi decided to go to Guxian City to wait for him, and also find the location of the World Gate first.
"Yunzhou, Yunxin Empire, Xinkeng City, a name that has been far away for so long. I, Guo Yi, have finally returned. Tai Ling Laozu, Zhuo Mu Yun, the time for you to repay your debts has come."
Guo Yuxian's gate revolved, unfolding the Bodhi triple motion, transforming into a bolt of thunder that rolled towards the direction of Guxian City.
Guxian City, located three million miles outside of Youjin City, is the largest city in the Youling Mountain Range. The entire city floats high above the ground, situated among the white clouds of the southern sky. Legend has it that this city was built by ancient immortals and contains countless ancient relics and sacred sites.
The entire city is both ancient and prosperous, standing on the edge of the city and looking up can see the blue sky, looking down can see the sea of clouds, a group of spiritual animals rush out from the city, and a group of exotic birds fly quickly from the distant horizon, everything looks so ethereal and dreamy, as if arriving at the heavenly city in the fairy world.
Guo Ye stepped into the void, walking step by step into the ancient immortal city. At this time, it was already late afternoon, and countless people began to return to the city. One after another, cultivators trod on spiritual light, flying far away and landing on the main street, before returning home one by one.
"Huh? This man... Could it be him?" A glint of chilliness flashed through Guo Yi's eyes.
Only to see outside the sky curtain, a group of men and women sat on a dark blue giant bird flying far away, soon flew over the ancient immortal city. They all wore the same green clothes, with neat and uniform spiritual swords in their hands, their cultivation was between the first palace and the third palace of the spiritual realm, it can be seen that they were immortals from the same sect.
This group of young men and women were all around twenty years old, the men were handsome, the women were beautiful, and they all unintentionally exuded a faint aura of elegance. They chatted and laughed on the grand carving, feeling extremely comfortable.
Especially the man sitting in the front row had a pair of elegant eyebrows and eyes, cold and extraordinary, his cultivation was also the highest among all people, having already reached the third palace of the spiritual realm. Several tall and beautiful women surrounded him, chatting and laughing, occasionally sending him flirtatious glances, seemingly all admiring this man.
"Zhuo Mu Yun, it's really you."
That man was Zhuo Mu Yun, the young master of Tai Ling Sect. He was one of the main culprits behind the tragic case of the Guo family's extermination that day.
It can be said that Guo Yi has already carved his appearance into the bottom of his heart, printed it on his brain gate, and even if he wants to forget, he can't. On countless quiet nights, Guo Yi would think of him several times, more than his own loved one. He hopes that he won't be killed by others, hopes that he won't die from illness, so that he himself can personally cut him into pieces with a thousand knives and ten thousand cuts.
"You actually left the Yunzhou Small World too, well, you've even cultivated to the third palace of the Spiritual Being. Then I'll kill you first to collect some interest, and then go back to Yunzhou to flatten the entire Taixuan Sect."
Kwok Yat descended from the sky, taking a single step that spanned a hundred miles. He threw a punch into the air, instantly killing the giant eagle with the shockwave. The men and women on the eagle's back immediately tumbled to the ground.
