45: Hospice care!

“Whose doing is this?”

“I’m just an artifact spirit, what the hell would I know?!”

Gu Yan didn’t want to hear Chu Feng’s words!

He had just re-fused with the Eternal Gate, and now his mind was in Chaos, with countless thoughts gushing out uncontrollably.

Just receiving all this information, and having to guard against that scoundrel Chu Feng, had already exhausted all his mental energy; how could he have any spare brainpower to ponder such a question?

Fortunately, Chu Feng didn’t actually intend for Gu Yan to answer. His smile remained: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to see for yourself.”

He held the golden light spot as if he were fondling a bead, manipulating it at will.

With a single step, he quickly appeared above a raging, dark ocean.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

…

Muffled thuds continuously echoed from the dark depths of the ocean. The seawater surged, and a world-shaking tremor came from the seabed, vaguely revealing that the God Ocean was undergoing tremendous changes.

Chu Feng gazed downwards, his sight piercing through the dark seabed.

The first thing that met his eyes were piles of corpses!

One after another, Xuan Realm Great Completion Kings lay dead on the seabed.

Hundreds of light clusters fiercely intertwined near these corpses, shouts continuously erupting as a fierce battle raged.

Near their battlefield, numerous stone tablets were scattered.

There were hundreds of hundred-zhang-tall stone tablets glowing with a brilliant blue light on the seabed, their surfaces carved with extremely complex Formation runes.

These stone tablets stood in various corners of the seabed, seemingly dispersed, but in reality, they operated like the Zhou Tian stars, secretly conforming to the Dao.

At this moment, the surface of each stone tablet had already developed spiderweb-like cracks, spreading in all directions. In just a few minutes, the tablet surfaces would completely shatter.

The passage suppressed beneath the Formation would also be completely unsealed.

Even so, a great battle was still erupting on the seabed, a final effort being made.

Chu Feng, still toying with Gu Yan in his hand, casually asked, “Little Leek, do you see who that is?”

Gu Yan: “…”

He saw it.

Not the scene on the seabed.

Chu Feng’s current position was above the Nine Heavens, and everything on the sea surface was visible at a glance.

He sensed two familiar figures.

Azure Ox Great Saint was suspended above the sea.

And there was another figure that surprised him.

Sitting on Azure Ox Great Saint’s shoulder was… White Heart’s Child sister?

“Saint Azure personally descended to the Xuan Realm to destroy the Demon Subduing Magic Array, I can understand that.”

“But why is White Heart’s Child sister, a mere Dao Palace, joining in on the fun here?”

Even though he himself was now a fish on the chopping block, Gu Yan still felt strange and puzzled upon seeing Bai Xin’er.

“It’s about to break.”

“…”

“Monarch, should I make a move?”

“No hurry. The Xuan Realm’s Origin is not just this. Wait for their Saint to appear.”

“…”

Soon, he heard the conversation between Azure Ox Great Saint and Bai Xin’er.

“Isn’t White Heart’s Child a princess of the Yao Race?”

“Why does Saint Azure call her Monarch?”

“Her tone of voice is very different from usual. What’s going on?”

The conversation between Azure Ox Great Saint and Bai Xin’er startled Gu Yan. He was too familiar with Bai Xin’er; even hearing just these few words, he keenly noticed that Bai Xin’er was completely different from her usual self!

What shocked him even more was that Saint Azure, a Great Saint, seemed extremely obedient to Bai Xin’er when speaking to her!

Respect and obedience, these are two completely different concepts!

Saint Azure didn’t even put top Geniuses like him in his eyes, so why would White Heart’s Child, that little fool, make Azure Ox Great Saint act like this?!

This was very wrong!

Gu Yan was completely bewildered!

At this moment, a brilliant golden light pierced through the sky.

The light penetrated the clouds, scattering into the deep sea.

Soon, the golden light transformed into a bridge.

“Oh, the Saint Bridge. This Heavenly Void Immortal Gate has quite some Origin. To think a Great Completion King could break through and become a Saint.”

Azure Ox Great Saint’s words shocked Gu Yan!

Someone on the seabed became a Saint at this moment!

What shocked him even more was the casual command from Bai Xin’er, who was sitting on Azure Ox Great Saint’s shoulder: “Kill him.”

With Bai Xin’er’s command, Azure Ox Great Saint let out a strange laugh and directly blasted the Saint who had just become a Saint on the seabed into pieces!

As the Saint died, the seabed stone tablets collapsed in unison!

A massive black hole vortex suddenly appeared, emitting a terrifying aura that swallowed the surrounding stone tablets and corpses.

Gu Yan’s mind went blank.

He recalled the question Chu Feng had posed earlier.

“Whose doing are these?”

“Could it be her?”

“No, impossible!”

“She’s so silly, how could it be her?”

“This woman must think everything is under her control.”

Chu Feng smiled without speaking, simply commenting.

He didn’t stop anything from happening below. After Azure Ox Great Saint and Bai Xin’er left this sea area, he casually clenched his hand, forcefully collecting the Saint Bridge that hadn’t yet dissipated from the heavens and earth, absorbing it into his internal God Ocean.

His figure flickered, and he followed them again.

Several hours later.

Chu Feng appeared above the Nine Heavens of a Desert, seeing Azure Ox Great Saint cursing at Gu Yan, and sinking deep into the Desert with Bai Xin’er.

He continued to toy with the golden light spot in his hand.

Because the Demon Subduing Magic Array was broken and the Xuan Realm’s Origin was lost, the golden light spot already had the outline of a door.

The golden light on its surface also gradually became a light purple.

He wasn’t idly wandering around with Gu Yan because he had nothing better to do. For the past few hours, he had been continuously refining the Eternal Gate. The more Origin was lost, the easier the Eternal Gate was to refine.

Light purple was the sign; this door in his hand would soon become his shape.

“She… just mentioned the Xuan Realm’s Origin? Bai Xin’er’s target is also the Eternal Gate.”

“The Demon Subduing Magic Array and the Xuan Realm’s Origin are closely related. Destroying the Demon Subduing Magic Array is detrimental to myself…”

Having followed Bai Xin’er and the other for a long time, even if Gu Yan was foolish and naive, he now understood everything.

He also finally belatedly realized how ridiculous he had been earlier.

The mastermind behind all this was actually Bai Xin’er!

The ridiculous thing was that he hadn’t even noticed it before!

If Bai Xin’er wanted to sell him, he’d even help her count the money!

“No, why would I think of destroying the Demon Subduing Magic Array?!”

“Isn’t this just hitting myself?!”

Gu Yan thought he could use the destruction of the Demon Subduing Magic Array to retaliate against the Xuan Realm, against Chongxuan Pavilion and Nangong Qin.

He suddenly discovered that the boomerang he threw out had hit himself!

He was stunned!

Now, with the three Demon Subduing Magic Arrays in the Xuan Realm broken, demons were continuously pouring out of the suppressed passages!

He had already sensed that the Eternal Gate’s state was wrong, its Qi was rapidly draining!

If Chu Feng hadn’t exposed him, and he had really succeeded in destroying a Demon Subduing Magic Array, the consequences would have been severe!

His Eternal Gate would definitely have been snatched away.

“No, what’s the difference between my current predicament and the Eternal Gate being snatched away?”

“It’s all Chu Feng’s fault, that beast!”

Gu Yan suddenly realized an even more serious problem, feeling both angry and aggrieved.

Chu Feng played with Gu Yan, left the Desert, and wandered around various parts of the Xuan Realm, seemingly observing something.

Several hours later, feeling that the Eternal Gate was about to be completely refined.

“Do you understand?”

“Actually, you’re quite pitiful. At the time, I was just trying, and I didn’t expect that with just a few conditions, this woman would sell you out.”

“Gu Yan, this world isn’t worth it.”

To demonstrate a spirit of hospice care, Chu Feng sighed faintly, comforting Gu Yan.

Of course, the comfort was just incidental.

During the refinement of the Eternal Gate, this guy, who was an artifact spirit, was idle anyway. A little stimulation might even net him some destiny treasure boxes, which could be considered as subsidizing household expenses.

???

“With just a few conditions, Bai Xin’er sold me out?!”

The previously silent Gu Yan indeed fell for it. He immediately thought of everything that had happened at Chongxuan Pavilion before, as if struck by lightning.

Crack, crack, crack…

Something seemed to crack in his heart. He pressed, “What do you mean?”

[Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Gu Yan generates hatred towards Bai Xin’er. Destiny Value decreases by three thousand points. You obtain heavenly fate treasure chest * 1.]

Although he was still questioning, the System’s message already indicated Gu Yan’s current attitude.

Chu Feng’s lips curved into a smile.

“There really is one, as expected of my good brother on the villain’s path.”

“Damn System, his protagonist fate has collapsed, and he can still have Destiny Value and Destiny Treasure Boxes?”

He casually asked the System.

[Destiny Value is a manifestation of Luck. It can naturally continue to be deducted even after becoming a negative number.]

[heavenly fate treasure chest is exclusive to Protagonists. Gu Yan’s status has fallen, so it should not be produced. However, as the Eternal Gate’s artifact spirit, the Eternal Gate is extremely special and bore a portion of the Destiny Value drop for Gu Yan, extracting its Origin to produce the heavenly fate treasure chest.]

[Destiny Treasure Boxes are extremely rare. For those who are not Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, very few Destiny Treasure Boxes can be produced.]

“Oh, negative numbers, so that’s bad Luck then?”

“This Eternal Gate still has some tricks.”

Chu Feng received the answer, pondering thoughtfully.

“I asked you… what do you mean?”

Seeing Chu Feng ignore him, Gu Yan’s anger surged, and he questioned again.

Looking at Gu Yan’s furious expression, Chu Feng faintly glanced into the distance: “Heh heh, she’s coming to find you. Just ask her yourself.”

In the distance, two figures were indeed flying towards his location.
