Chapter 20

Did Elder Huode really have a method to help Gu Qingfeng recultivate?

No, that was impossible!

The reason why a mutant body was called that way, was because after failing the Foundation Establishment, the spiritual root and dantian dispersed, making it impossible to cultivate again . Even if you brought spiritual force within your body by taking pills, it did not have a home since the dantian was dead and all it could do was flow through meridians, with a very high chance of exploding .

“My God, why was I so stupid and trusted Elder Huode?” Elder Huode and Gu Qingfeng had long disappeared and the more Ouyang Ye thought about it, the more she regretted it . Suddenly, she realized another suspicious problem .

She clearly remembered how Gu Qingfeng said he knew Elder Huode after they had met at gambling, and he said they even had a good relationship . But now Elder Huode clearly did not recognize him at all!

Damn! That swindler lied again!

“Gu Qingfeng, you damned swindler! Hmph, to think that I was worried about you, and yet you were still deceiving me!”

“I even wanted to talk with Elder Huode to let you off, but now, hmph! Wait until you’ll test his formations, you won’t even be able to cry at that point! I want to see if you still dare to lie to me in the future!”

“Damned swindler!”

The Redcloud Sect was very large and was known as having three mountains, six halls, nine peaks, twelve courtyards . Elder Huode led Gu Qingfeng on one of the nine peaks and brought him inside an immortal cave .

The immortal cave was very spacious and resembled a huge hall . There were many stone chambers all around it . Usually, this type of immortal cave was used for alchemy, making formations, or creating magic treasures . is

Gu Qingfeng looked around and this immortal cave and just as he expected, this immortal cave almost full of formations, many of them were semi-finished and unstable . This was the place where the old man Huode used to create his formations .

Daoist Huode casually pinched a spiritual art, then a lotus-like formation appeared in the center of the cave . Looking at Gu Qingfeng who was surveying his surroundings, Hueode smiled, “Kid, you don’t need to look around, hurry up and stand inside . I will use this formation to investigate your body . ”

“Didn’t you already investigate it outside?”

“Your condition is too complicated and I can’t completely investigate it with just my spiritual sense . But if I use this Formation of Nine Magnificent Clouds, I can clearly see what’s wrong in your body . ”

The immortal cave had quite a lot of food and wine inside it, Gu Qingfeng walked over and poured himself a glass of wine, sat down in a chair and took a sip . Looking at the formation on the ground, he laughed, “What was this formation’s name?”

“Formation of Nine Magnificent Clouds!” Huode said earnestly, “What’s the matter, kid? You still don’t trust me?”

“Hahaha!”

Gu Qingfeng really couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter which caused Daoist Huode to furrow his brows . The smile on his face decreased a little and asked, “Kid, what are you laughing at?”

“Huode, oh, Huode…I haven’t seen you in ages, but your ability to deceive people has truly reached perfection! You even dare to point at the Eight Trigrams Formations and say it’s the Formation of Nine Magnificent Clouds . ”

Upon hearing this, Daoist Huode was instantly stunned, he really didn’t expect that the kid in front of his was knowledgable about formations and even recognized the Eight Trigrams Formations .

Wait!

Did he just say ‘I haven’t seen you in ages’?

Thinking about this, Daoist Huode’s eyes filled with confusion gradually narrowed and his expression also became extremely serious, “Kid, who are you?”

“Guess . ” Gu Qingfeng was in no hurry, and he crossed his legs and slowly took a sip of wine .

Guess?

Daoist Huode sized up him once again and began to go through his memories, but after thinking for a long time, he was sure that he did not know the kid in front of him!

Looking at the old man’s puzzled look, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t resist and teased him, “If I remember correctly, you have been cultivating for almost 700 years, right? And you are also an orphan, aren’t you? You have been wandering in the Bluesun Domain since you were a child, and then you met your master and joined the Redcloud Sect . Because of your good aptitude and spiritual root, as well as your intelligence, you soon made a name for yourself in the Redcloud Sect . ”

Gu Qingfeng was drinking a little wine and talking slowly, while Daoist Huode was getting more and more shocked and his eyes widened . He really couldn’t believe that this kid knew so much about him, even the events from his childhood . Not only did he knew that he was an orphan, but he also knew how he entered the Redcloud Sect!

Gu Qingfeng said a lot about Daoist Huode’s private matters and even included the scandalous affairs between him and some women .

Daoist Huode was dumbfounded and looked at Gu Qingfeng in astonishment and stammered, “Y-you, how did you know this!”

He was horrified!

He was a little stupefied because there was only one person that knew about these details from his past, and that person was none other than Sovereign Bloodheaven, Gu Tianlang!

He still clearly remembered how he used to go to dig up a lot of mysterious ancient immortal caves with him, and sometimes they got trapped inside of the caves for a long time . In order to pass the time, they’ve talked about many things .

But how did this kid knew about what he told Gu Tianlang a long time ago?

Wait!

Daoist Huode remembered that moments ago when they were outside, this kid said his name was Gu Qingfeng!

“Are you Gu Tianlang’s descendant?”

“What? Descendant?” Gu Qingfeng shook his head and laughed, “How the hell would I have descendants?”

Daoist Huode thought carefully and that was indeed the case, he hadn’t heard anything about Gu Tianlang having any descendants .

Huh?

What did this kid just say?

How the hell would I have descendants?

Why did he talk as if he was Gu Tianlang?

As if he had realized something extremely horrifying, Daoist Huode couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and stare deadly at Gu Qingfeng, then took a deep breath and asked, “Y-you…d-don’t tell me you are…Gu Tianlang…”

“What’s the matter?” Gu Qingfeng took a sip of wine and looked at him, “You don’t believe me?”

Daoist Huode truly did not believe him, he subconsciously shook his head asked in a deep voice, “What makes you think you can convince me that you are Gu Tianlang?”

“Convince you? Haha, Huode, when we met we played dice, right? When you lost, not only did you deny it, but you also lied to me about helping me boost my cultivation base, and as a result, you asked me to test a formation for you . ”

Gu Qingfeng revealed a lot of past events that happened in the Redcloud Sect but Daoist Huode still didn’t believe him .

“Gu Tianlang’s damned stories have been spreading for 300 years, if you grabbed a random child from the street he would be able to tell you about this . ”

“I see, then do you remember that one time when we went to steal magic treasures from the Sorrowless Palace and ended up being chased around everywhere? You were chased naked for hundreds of miles . There’s also that time… . ”

Gu Tianlang began to tell him stories about everything they did together in the past, which left Daoist Hudep completely baffled .

In his mind, Gu Tianlang’s deeds were spread all over the world, and it was not uncommon for this kid to know about them, but it was impossible for anyone else to know about the stuff that he did with Gu Tianlang .

Was this kid really Gu Tianlang?

That was impossible, but how did he know so much if he wasn’t?

The more Daoist Huode thought about it, the more confused he became, but he still didn’t believe that this kid in front of him was Gu Tianlang .

Because three hundred years ago, he had witnessed Gu Tianlang being judged by the Immortal Dao, and after it dropped down 81 judgments, Gu Tianlang…had disappeared!

Some people had said that Gu Tianlang’s body and soul had been exterminated by the Immortal Dao’s judgment!

Other people had said that Gu Tianlang had always been mysterious and possessed many powerful magical abilities, therefore it was impossible for him to be killed, and he just temporarily disappeared!

As for whether Gu Tianlang was dead or just temporarily disappeared, no one knew .

Daoist Huode didn’t know either, although he was also present at the time, the situation was so chaotic that he couldn’t see anything and didn’t dare to release his spiritual sense to investigate, but he thought that Gu Tianlang should not be dead .

Yes, should not, because he wasn’t completely certain!

Daoist Huode still clearly remembered that after Gu Tianlang was punished by the Immortal Dao and disappeared, his voice resounded in his ears, “Old friend, I’ll leave now . ”

He had thought about these words for 300 years, and yet he still could not understand what he really meant, especially when he said ‘leave’ . Did he mean this as in dying, or as in leaving?

Thinking of this, Daoist Huode asked him, “If you are really Gu Tianlang, you should remember that you said something to me 300 years ago after you had been punished by the Immortal Dao . Tell me what you said back then and I will believe you!”

“Let me think about it…” Gu Tianlang closed his eyes and patted his forehead, “Back then, the situation was very critical and I was quite weak since I was judged by the Immortal Dao, therefore I didn’t say much . I just told you I was leaving, right?”

Thud!

It was as if Elder Huode had been struck by lightning and he fell on the ground and stood there petrified . His face was full of shock, as if he had seen a God, and he just stared with his wide and unbelievable eyes .

He wanted to say something, but simply couldn’t . He opened his mouth several times but the only things that came out were hoarse or sharp sounds . He took several deep breaths in a row, but still couldn’t suppress the shock in the heart, and the arm that he used to point at Gu Qingfeng was also trembling violently .

“Huode, aren’t you exaggerating a bit? I’m not some evil Asura that has come to eat you so there’s no reason for you to act like this . ”

Did Elder Huode really have a method to help Gu Qingfeng recultivate?

No, that was impossible!

The reason why a mutant body was called that way, was because after failing the Foundation Establishment, the spiritual root and dantian dispersed, making it impossible to cultivate again .
