The tombstone was surrounded by a whimpering wind. It was as if someone was speaking faintly.
The old man’s words aroused Gu Changqing’s interest, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What did you bet on?”
The old man smiled and said, “Di Xin was arrogant and thought that his talent was unparalleled. He once boasted that no one can surpass him in cultivation talent.”
“But now, it seems that he has already lost completely. Your Excellency, your bone age seems like it’s less than 300 years old!”
The old man looked at Gu Changqing as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Gu Changqing nodded and did not deny it.
“Hahaha! ”
The old man laughed. If it weren’t for a wisp of remnant soul, Gu Changqing even suspected that he could laugh until his snot and tears flowed out.
“It took Di Xin 3,000 years to reach this stage! However, he still couldn’t catch up to the group of people. Even so, he’s already the number one in all of history. You’ve only used less than 300 years to reach this stage.”
“With your potential, as long as you don’t die prematurely, you should be able to catch up to them!”
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became. His eyes involuntarily looked at the starry sky.
Gu Changqing was somewhat numb. He had heard such words more than once. After hearing it too much, he no longer felt anything.
The old man calmed his mood and said to Gu Changqing, “Leave and go to the next main city. There might be something unexpected there!”
“Is there nothing else to say about Di kin?”
Gu Changqing frowned when he heard the old man’s sudden order to leave.
“There’s nothing else. He’s a sinner, so there’s no need to mention him anymore.”
The old man waved his hand.
“I want to take her away!”
Gu Changqing pointed at Su Li.
However, I have to remind you that the Otherworldly Demons are cunning and vicious.”
“I don’t need you to remind me.”
Gu Changqing coldly threw down a sentence, and the Tai Chi Diagram appeared behind him. The Reverse Yin-Yang power covered Su Li’s body, and after a moment, she transformed back into her human form and stood in front of Gu Changqing.
At that moment, a golden light suddenly flew out of the tombstone and entered her mind.
Su Li, who had just regained her senses, stood rooted to the ground once again with eyes that gradually grew more dazed.
“Vermilion Bird, take her with you, and let’s go!”
Gu Changqing waved his hand, and everyone leaped up and flew into the distance.
After a long time, Zhang Hu suddenly scratched his head and said, “Boss, did we forget to ask for directions?”
Gu Changqing’s face was ashen. Zhang Hu immediately shut his mouth when he saw this.
Huang Di shook his head and sent a wisp of his divine sense to Gu Changqing. “This is the map that the old man gave me.”
In Gu Changqing’s mind, an incomplete map appeared. Three cities were marked in the most conspicuous positions.
They were Chaoge, Luoshui, and Zhulu.
On the map, the three main cities were positioned in a straight line. In other words, as long as they left Chaoge and headed north, they would reach Luoshui.
However, with this distance, Gu Changqing’s heart was uncertain about how long it would take to arrive.
He continued to deduce the laws of space as he advanced. Gu Changqing believed that it wouldn’t take long for him to completely control it.
In the silent wilderness, there was only a group of people speeding past. Another few days and nights passed, but Luoshui City was still nowhere in sight.
On the other hand, Su Li had been unconscious the entire time and had yet to wake up. After Gu Changqing checked, he discovered that her sea of consciousness was surrounded by golden light.
He couldn’t detect the situation inside the golden light. If he tried to probe further, it would only damage her soul.
Gu Changqing believed that when she woke up, many answers would be answered.
Another day passed, and everyone was still wandering around in the wilderness.
Gu Changqing suddenly stopped and stood in the air. “What’s wrong, Boss?”
Caught off guard, Zhang Hu flew far ahead before returning.
“Don’t you feel that something is wrong?”
Gu Changqing looked at Zhang Hu, then turned his head to look at Huang Di with slight disdain.
Huang Di nodded and replied, “Indeed!”
No matter how far away they were, it was impossible for them to find another along the way. On the old man’s map, there weren’t only the 3 main cities, but also some smaller ones.
However, they did not encounter a single one of those. This was almost impossible.
The only answer was that they had encountered some trouble.
As for what the trouble was?
Gu Changqing closed his eyes and released his divine sense with all his might.
However, not long after he did so, it was interrupted by the omnipresent fog and scattered.
Gu Changqing could only withdraw his divine sense and looked at everyone with a serious expression. “I think we’ve been trapped and have only been spinning in circles.”
“How did this happen?”
Zhao Feng looked around warily, trying to find an answer in the fog.
However, if even Gu Changqing’s powerful divine sense couldn’t find any clues, how could he be able to?
“Boss, what should we do next?”
Vermilion Bird looked at the unconscious Su Li and asked worriedly.
Gu Changqing didn’t have any clues at the moment, so he could only comfort everyone and say, “Let me test it out.”
He opened a wormhole. His divine sense entered inside it and sized up the space nodes in the surrounding area. Then, Gu Changqing walked into the wormhole.
However, in the next second, a wormhole opened not far away from everyone. Gu Changqing walked out of it.
Everyone looked at each other. Gu Changqing thought for a moment and opened another one. Then, he walked out of the space beside them again.
“It seems that this rea has been sealed! To be able to do this, we can basically confirm that this is the work of an array formation.”
Gu Changqing put down his judgment.
“We probably stepped into this formation not long after we left Di Xin’s tomb.”
Huang Di pondered for a moment and recalled the events from the past few days. Now that he knew the answer, the next step was to solve the problem.
Roar!
Xiao Hei flew out from Gu Changqing’s wrist. In the blink of an eye, his body grew to a million feet.
“Xiao Hei, check and see if you can find the array formation’s boundary.”
Since his divine sense was unable to detect it, he would let Xiao Hei use his huge body to investigate. Gu Changqing did not believe that this array could be infinitely large.
The black dragon roared and flew out, stirring up the fog as if it were stirring up clouds and rain.
Gu Changqing looked at Xiao Hei’s disappearing figure and fell into deep thought again. It seemed that the creature who set up this formation had really put in a lot of effort.
Otherwise, with Xiao Hei’s huge body, it wouldn’t have been difficult to detect the formation’s size.
Roar!
Just as Gu Changqing was thinking, Xiao Hei’s roar echoed. However, the strange thing was that the voice came from his opposite direction.
Gu Changqing turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Hei flying closer and closer.
Seeing Gu Changqing and the others, the black dragon stopped and hovered in the air with a dumbfounded expression. Just now, it had clearly been flying forward and leaving Gu Changqing behind. Why did Gu Changqing appear in front of him again in the blink of an eye?
“Come back, Xiao Hei.”
Gu Changqing called out, and the black dragon’s figure shrank as it returned to his wrist.
Everyone had puzzled expressions.
“It’s the area looping itself. No matter where we go, we’ll return to the same place.”
“In other words, we’ve been wandering around in the same place these past few days?!”
