Chapter 156 The Master of Guixu

The Gui Ruins Heavenly Calculation Formation flowed and changed, emitting layers of vast spiritual energy. This spiritual energy transformed into floating patterns in an extremely mysterious way, flowing and changing between the sky and the earth, appearing and disappearing in sequence. This was a Heavenly Calculation technique used for defense, capable of isolating investigation and shielding Heavenly Secrets, most suitable for private communication.

And now was when the fifth of the Gui Ruins Four Guardians, the Pixiu Guardian, constructed his own private formation.

At this time, others did not have the authority to investigate.

And the Lord of Gui Ruins naturally displayed his magnanimity.

It was even more impossible!

It was to win people's hearts—

After all, this guardian, whose identity and status had risen rapidly in the Gui Ruins, had made many contributions since joining. Such a person had long proven his loyalty. If he wasn't a talent of my Gui Ruins, could he be a spy or traitor?

It was simply a joke.

So the Lord of Gui Ruins waved his hand, letting [Pixiu] go on his own with extreme confidence, to do whatever he wanted.

This was precisely the Lord of Gui Ruins' grace!

I exchange sincerity for sincerity!

So this was an extremely safe place, without any interference from others.

Therefore, when the true spirit of that Heavenly Calculation Formation manifested, even Jue couldn't help but murmur. The woman before her had a gentle and beautiful expression, her eyes were large and soft, and her charming innocence and feminine plumpness were perfectly combined. The Four Heavenly Maidens were indistinguishable in appearance, but each had their own strengths in temperament.

It was the eldest daughter of Yan Emperor Shennong.

After her death, she was rescued by the Queen Mother of the West and transformed into one of the Kunlun Heavenly Maidens, representing the earth.

"Third Sister, why are you..."

Jue looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief, but then became vigilant, worried whether the woman in front of her was just a manifestation of the Lord of Gui Ruins' formation, a cunning trick. Then, the woman smiled and said, "What's wrong, Jue? Don't you even recognize me?" She stretched out her hand, her fingers and palms intertwined with the pure energy unique to the Kunlun Heavenly Maidens.

Then she said, "When you went down the mountain to pick Lu Wu's undying flower, I often went to your place to bring you flowers."

She then spoke of many details, and Jue slowly believed that the woman in front of her was really her sister, Yaoji.

Moreover, her true spirit had not been obscured or manipulated by the Lord of Gui Ruins' formation.

"That's great, it's really you, Sister Yaoji."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes softened, and she took off her mask, her face clear but gentle.

A smile touched the corner of her lips.

Yaoji's smile faltered.

Seeing that the girl, even at this moment, slowly moved her right hand away from the hilt of her saber, but even after making such a reaction just now, her right hand was still hovering over the hilt, that vigilance and lingering bit of sharpness made Yaoji, who had been lying around like a deadbeat before coming to see Jue, and had been passionately arguing with [Vodka Niangniang] as the client and the乙方, somewhat murmur in her heart.

???

So steady?

The youngest, most innocent Fourth Sister.

When did she develop such defenses and strength?

"But, Sister, how did you become like this?"

The girl was still a little disbelieving, and then reacted, saying, "...Is it the Lord of Gui Ruins?"

Yaoji nodded and said, "...Yes, the events of that year were quite complicated, but in the end, it was indeed the Lord of Gui Ruins who plotted against me. If I hadn't been lucky, what you would be seeing now wouldn't be me, but a formation spirit transformed from my remaining true spirit after my cultivation was scattered and my powers were taken away."

Speaking of this, Yaoji was still a little afraid.

In that case, she wouldn't be able to read manga, eat snacks, or watch gossip in the myriad worlds.

She sighed and said, "What about Eldest Sister and Second Sister?"

Jue told Yaoji about the situations of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and Nuba.

Yaoji was stunned for a long time.

Nuba had been sealed for thousands of years, her cultivation damaged, and she was no longer at the level of "Nuba's wrath, a thousand miles of red land"; the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden seemed to have only a wisp of her true spirit left; and her cultivation was also remnant here. Coming down to it, the one in the best condition and with the strongest strength was the little sister who needed their protection back then.

Jue sized up Yaoji and said, "Sister, your current state is..."

Then she stretched out her hand and pressed it towards Yaoji's body.

Yaoji shook her head with a hint of helplessness and said, "There's no need to try. My cultivation has been broken, and I'm just a remnant soul at this moment, integrated into the Heavenly Calculation Formation, becoming one with this Heavenly Calculation. If it hadn't been for a stroke of luck, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to achieve this state. Before this, we had already tried..."

Yaoji's voice stopped abruptly.

The girl's palm gently pressed on Yaoji's shoulder.

Her eyes slightly lowered, and a faint golden Buddha light flowed up and down, instantly merging into Yaoji's body, calming her mind, as if even the true spirit integrated into the formation was calmed in an instant. Jue, dressed in fitted clothing, her black hair falling down, had strands of golden light changing and flowing around her, giving her a sense of sacred solemnity.

"This, this is..."

"It was a gift from a high-ranking monk, not my power."

Jue opened her eyes, and a look of apology appeared on her face as she said, "It's just a pity that I can only use these powers, but I don't have his profound realm. I can probably only make you feel a little more comfortable, but I can't completely restore you..."

The smile on Yaoji's face froze.

…………

Swordsmanship, vigilance, sword energy, and now this Buddha light.

Calm.

Calm...

What exactly happened to my sister?

Jue thought for a while and said, "However, the reason you can't see through this place seems to be because your foundation is a little scattered. What about your cultivation core? If we can find where your current cultivation core is, can it restore your foundation, and then you can escape from here..."

Yaoji's eyes lit up slightly.

Good, she could refute her sister to maintain her sister's dignity.

Yaoji lowered her eyes slightly, her expression sad, and said, "But even if we can escape, what can we do?"

She half wanted to stop Jue, and half was sincere, regretting, "This is the Great Eastern Sea Trench, the core area of Gui Ruins, which has a very special status in the myriad worlds, and the Lord of Gui Ruins has the highest level of authority here, enough to use the power of the entire Gui Ruins."

"The moment I escape, he will appear."

"That is an existence only one step away from the Ten Great Peaks, and if he hadn't fallen that year, he would have achieved his wish long ago—gathering the power of the four seas, connecting the source of purity and turbidity, and stepping into the Ten Great Peaks, and advancing to the Ten Great Peaks in one breath, that is, the level second only to the strongest batch."

"Even if we can escape, what's the use?"

"We can't get out."

"The Lord of Gui Ruins is here and can fully exert the power of the Ten Great Peaks with the special nature of this place."

"Unless, Jue, you can find a powerhouse of the Ten Great Peaks, but how can this be..."

"I can."

The girl's voice rang out.

Yaoji's sigh stopped abruptly.

She stiffly raised her head bit by bit and said, "Well, in fact, a powerhouse of the Ten Great Peaks seems a bit risky here."

Jue thought for a while and stretched out her fingers, "I can call..."

Mount Buzhou, Water God, Fire God, Yuan, Nuwa Empress.

She spread out her white palm and said, "Five powerhouses of the Ten Great Peaks."

Yaoji's face was dull, and then she took a step forward subconsciously and said, "You found the Queen Mother and the others?!"

Jue shook her head and said, "No."

"If we can find the Empress and the God of Kai Ming, that would be seven."

"The God Lu Wu always suppresses the Turbid World under Kunlun and will not leave there."

Yaoji listened to the girl saying these words one by one, feeling that her mind was not enough. The girl Jue thought for a while, holding her battle saber in her right hand, seeming a little timid for a moment, a little cautious, but still said, "Also... you said the Lord of Gui Ruins once fell in ancient times."

She lowered her eyes.

Her long eyelashes fell down, seeming a little hesitant.

She wanted to retreat a little.

A little timid.

Then she tried to raise her eyes, looking at her sister with those clear eyes, and tried to clench her saber. In her voice, there flowed the clear courage of a girl, saying:

"The one who defeated him."

"Is my husband."

"Oh, oh, Jue, you know so many people. I didn't expect your husband to have already..."

Yaoji was so shocked by the previous news that she responded subconsciously. Then, after three seconds, she finally reacted. Her gentle face froze suddenly, and her eyes drooped down little by little, falling on the girl's face.

"Gah?!"

"What?! Who?!"

"Husband?!"

Yaoji rushed forward with a crash, grabbed the girl's shoulders with both hands, and shook her hard, "That's not right, how could you? You, you, you, you're already married?! Married?! Husband, you...you..."

"When did this happen?"

"Is the pain of breaking the hymen really that bad?!"

"Have you had children yet?"

"How many have you had?!"

"Shu..."

Clang!!!

The battle saber with its scabbard hit Yaoji on the head. The girl in front of her had already turned into a wisp of flowing wind and retreated several steps, her black hair hanging down to her temples, tied into a high ponytail, and her beautiful face was already flushed, flushed red, stuttering, "You, you, you..."

"What are you talking about!"

"What have you been watching all this time, Sister?!"

The girl waved the scabbard in her hand subconsciously. Yaoji knew that she had lost her composure.

She coughed and said, "This, it's just, it's just that I'm worried about you."

"Don't be too angry."

"Well, let's talk business, talk business. Are you planning to directly bring those powerhouses and break through here?"

"No..."

The girl shook her head, her mind calm:

"In that case, you might be implicated because you are in the Gui Ruins formation."

"So I want to, at least rescue you, and then take the next step."

"Moreover, since the Lord of Gui Ruins was able to survive Yuan's attack before, it means that he has enough backup plans. If we rashly attack, there is a high probability that the Lord of Gui Ruins will hide again."

Yaoji looked at her little sister and thought that she had indeed changed. She thought for a while and said, "My cultivation... is because the Lord of Gui Ruins wanted to step into the dual cultivation of purity and turbidity in one breath, dividing his own power into the myriad worlds, and then unifying the myriad worlds, proving the position of the unique one, so he attacked us..."

"And now, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and my purity and turbidity cultivation have all been taken away by Him."

"I think the Lord of Gui Ruins should be planning to complete the final step recently, in the area of the Gui Ruins Great Valley, where purity and turbidity are divided, relying on this vast formation that directly involves the myriad worlds to reverse the purity and turbidity and step into the realm of the Ten Great Peaks... If you want to bring back the cultivations of the three of us, I'm afraid it will only be before this."

Yaoji also said, "In fact, the Overlord of Gui Ruins has been hiding in the Gui Ruins for some time, acting as a simple Guardian, even the Gui Ruins in other worlds don't know his true identity, they only know an edict—[The one who brings back wind, fire, purity, and turbidity will be the Overlord of Gui Ruins], it should be to prevent others from attacking him when he is weak."

"It is also to control everything in the dark and to observe the reactions of the people of Gui Ruins in various worlds to his disappearance."

"To identify who can be used and who cannot be used."

Yaoji sighed, "In fact, the Lord of Gui Ruins was originally more domineering, but he seems to have been..."

"Well, after being killed once by your husband, he became sinister and cautious."

Jue seemed to be lost in thought, "He hid in the dark in order to control the overall situation and observe people's hearts?"

Yaoji nodded in confusion, "Yes."

"This way, he can see the decisions in the dark places of people's hearts."

Moreover...

It is also possible that he is worried that if he appears, your husband will come to his door again.

That's why he has been hiding.

No, that's probably the most likely reason.

Jue also said, "[The one who brings back wind, fire, purity, and turbidity will be the Overlord]?"

Yaoji came back to her senses and nodded, "Yes... This means that he plans to gather momentum and return with great power."

She smiled and looked at her little sister, just treating her as curious, just like comforting the young and aloof child back then, saying:

"What's wrong?"

"I just thought of a question."

The girl Jue pointed to herself and said, "If all the Gui Ruins systems in all worlds have accepted this edict."

"Then the [Lord of Gui Ruins]."

"Why can't it be me?"

Yaoji's expression froze.
