#361 - Live together or die together
“The second level of the Town Suppressing Pagoda requires Solar God Gold, which may exist in particularly scorching areas.”
“I will do my best to find the Solar God Gold in the shortest amount of time!” Jun Wu Xie didn't know if he could do it, but he had to believe he could. There was no other choice. “By the way, can you sense the general direction of it?”
“No, this time you'll have to find it yourself.”
“This…” Jun Wu Xie asked in confusion, “Weren't you able to sense the Phoenix God Gold? Why can't you even sense the general direction of this Solar God Gold?”
“Today is not like yesterday. Every time the 'Heaven' inside the Town Suppressing Pagoda impacts the seal, my power is severely depleted. Now, I must use all my mental energy to seal the Town Suppressing Pagoda and suppress the 'Heaven' on the second level. A slight distraction will break the balance.”
“Solar God Gold is a congenital object. Congenital treasures are born with the power to conceal themselves, able to obscure the heavenly secrets and hide their aura. Even for me, inside the Town Suppressing Pagoda, with the isolation of the Town Suppressing Pagoda and the Eternal Divine Hall, sensing its location is not an easy task.”
Jun Wu Xie was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly low voice, “If, and I mean if, the cracks on each level of the Town Suppressing Pagoda are caused by the 'Heaven' suppressed inside impacting the seal, and then you find the God Gold to repair it, how weak will you eventually become after repeatedly depleting your power to suppress it?”
“Exhaust all my power, burn out like a lamp, and vanish into ashes.”
Ye Qingxue spoke very calmly, as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.
As if burning out like a lamp and vanishing into ashes wasn't a terrible thing to her.
“How can someone as narcissistic as you vanish into ashes!” Jun Wu Xie clenched his fist and said, “I will definitely find all the God Gold in advance, repair the Town Suppressing Pagoda, so that you can safely recover your vitality in the future!”
“It's good that you have such confidence.”
Ye Qingxue said.
“We either live together or die together!” Jun Wu Xie said, “The moment I was chosen in the Eternal Divine Hall, everything was destined. From the moment you taught me the Primordial Golden Body Art, changed my fate, and gave me a new life, this is a path that can only move forward, cannot turn back, and cannot stop…”
“How sentimental. I can't remember how many epochs it's been since I've heard sentimental words. This feeling still makes me feel so disgusted.”
Jun Wu Xie: … …
“I won't bother you anymore. I'll prepare to find the Solar God Gold now!”
Jun Wu Xie got up and left the room for the first time in more than ten days.
He looked up and saw the crimson sky in the east, which made his heart skip a beat.
“Brother Wu Xie.”
Yue Yao stepped forward with a faint smile, gently grabbing his hand.
“Big brother, big brother, you're finally out. Chan'er hasn't seen you in a long time.”
Chan'er ran over and threw herself into Jun Wu Xie's arms.
“Hmph, now that you have your big brother, you don't care about me anymore.”
Su Xiaoxiao stomped her feet coquettishly, and then rushed up like a swallow returning to its nest: “Brother Jun, I want a hug too ~ Ah ya ya, Chan'er, you're not allowed to monopolize Brother Jun!”
Jun Wu Xie and Yue Yao smiled at each other.
“Chan'er, are you used to being here?”
He touched her soft black hair with some affection and doting.
“Yes, the older sisters, uncles, and grandpas here are very nice to Chan'er.”
“Really? Has Miss Xiaoxiao been bullying you?”
“Oh?” Chan'er bit her finger and thought seriously, then smiled innocently: “No, Miss Xiaoxiao is very nice to Chan'er.”
“Hmph, Brother Jun, you're biased…” Su Xiaoxiao said unhappily, “I said I wouldn't be willful anymore, and now I'm very well-behaved ~”
“Okay, I know.”
Jun Wu Xie opened his arms and hugged her and Chan'er.
At this time, Su Ji and others came over, carefully looked him up and down, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
In just over ten days, Jun Wu Xie's aura had become several times stronger!
How did he do it?
Looking at his realm, it didn't seem to have improved at all.
Could it be that in these short ten days, his talent level had improved by a large margin?
But… how is that possible?
“Brother Su Ji, did something happen in the east?”
When Jun Wu Xie saw the fiery red sky, he realized that Su Ji and others should know the situation through their sects.
“Yes, it's in the mountains thousands of miles away from your birthplace, Qingyang City.”
“What? Qingyang City?” Jun Wu Xie's expression changed instantly: “Has Qingyang City been affected now?”
“It's no longer suitable for living there. Some time ago, everyone in Qingyang City moved away, even the animals fled. Now, Qingyang City is shrouded in scorching heat. The entire city is probably already turned into ruins.”
“How could this be…”
Jun Wu Xie was a little lost, and then, to everyone's surprise, he let go of Su Xiaoxiao and Chan'er and moved thousands of meters away in one step.
“Little Brother Wu Xie!”
Su Ji was dumbfounded. What was going on?
According to what he knew, Jun Wu Xie had no feelings for the Xiao family in Qingyang City. The Xiao family only brought him painful memories.
“Brother Wu Xie, wait, we have something to tell you!”
Ma Ben, Xiong Da, and Qing Li quickly chased after him.
“Uncle Xiao's grave is in Qingyang.”
Yue Yao said quietly.
Everyone was stunned, so that's how it was.
… …
“Brother Wu Xie, wait!”
Ma Ben and the three finally caught up with Jun Wu Xie and stopped him.
“What's the matter?”
Jun Wu Xie saw the solemn expressions on their faces and couldn't help but land on a mountain top.
“You haven't understood the situation there yet. If you want to go, you should listen to us first.”
“I'm only going to move my father's grave. I don't need to know more.”
“No, Brother Wu Xie, we have something to ask of you…”
The three looked embarrassed, hesitating to speak.
Jun Wu Xie was stunned and said, “What is it? I will definitely not refuse if I can help. Just tell me, don't be so wishy-washy.”
“The thing is like this…”
Ma Ben, Xiong Da, and Qing Li immediately told him the whole story without any concealment.
The more Jun Wu Xie listened, the more surprised he became.
He didn't expect that the half-demon race living inside the Dragon Ridge Mountains had been facing a shortage of resources for many years.
That strange sea of lava that suddenly appeared, there is a terrifying Fire Flood Dragon inside, guarding a Fire Lotus?
“Do you know the specific location of the lava sea, and the location where the Fire Lotus once appeared?”
The three immediately took out a map of the mountains tens of thousands of miles around Qingyang City and pointed to a point in a certain fiery area on it: “Here.”
Jun Wu Xie was stunned.
He stared blankly at that location for a long time.
“Brother Wu Xie?”
Seeing his strange expression and dazed eyes, Ma Ben and the three couldn't help but wave their hands in front of him.
He came back to his senses and said, “I'm fine, I just suddenly remembered that two years ago, I went to that area. I didn't expect that today, two years later, it would become like this.”
“What we just said…”
Jun Wu Xie interrupted them and said, “I'll help you with this. If it's really that Fire Lotus that's causing trouble, I'll find a way to get it and solve the long-standing predicament of your half-demon race.”
“Loyalty!”
Qing Li's fan-like palm slapped heavily on his shoulder.
Seeing the palm slap down, Jun Wu Xie's eyes twitched, and he dodged it with a flash.
Just kidding, such a big palm, wouldn't it cover his whole body if it slapped down?
“However, Brother Wu Xie, you can't fight recklessly. Many high-level people from major forces will come this time. Experts in the Sect Emperor Realm, and even the Saint Sect Realm, will appear. Well, they probably won't take action, but the number of Sect Kings who will take action will be amazing.”
“Brother, take out your communication jade talisman.”
“What for?”
Jun Wu Xie took out the jade talisman and looked at them suspiciously.
The three had lewd smiles on their faces and quickly left a few rune symbols on his jade talisman.
“This is a rune imprint that can be used to contact people from our three tribes. At that time, our patriarch will send the Holy Maiden to assist you. The Holy Maiden will contact you proactively when she comes.” Qing Li said.
Ma Ben showed a lustful smile and said, “Brother, seize the opportunity and capture the heart of our tribe's Holy Maiden. It all depends on your performance.”
“And our tribe's Holy Maiden.” Xiong Da also leaned over and smiled honestly.
Jun Wu Xie: … …
