Chapter 208: Lady of the Nine Heavens vs. Guiguzi
Afterwards, Lady of the West and Emperor Huang placed the Military Demon God and the Dragon Soul in Loulan at their feet.
Huangdi brought a tribe to guard the soldier demon god to prevent others from approaching the soldier demon god.
The Queen Mother of the West left a protective force in Loulan to prevent others from approaching Loulan.
The illusion ended and Gongsun Ce opened his eyes. Gongsun Ce guessed that the illusion he saw should be the scene of the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou that Pixiu had witnessed with his own eyes.
Suddenly, the copper ball in Gongsun Ce's hand began to emit dazzling golden light.
Gongsun Ce's eyes suddenly fixed on the copper ball in his hand, and saw cracks gradually appearing on the copper ball, with a faint golden light shining through the tiny cracks.
As the crack expanded, a dragon energy overflowed from the copper ball. The dragon energy swirled upwards and spread throughout Mr. Lu's room.
Gongsun Ce felt the dragon energy, which was pure but not strong. At this moment, Gongsun Ce realized that the Pixiu had eaten the dragon soul, probably in order to drain the power of the dragon soul.
The Pixiu's own power has weakened, and the aura of the dragon soul in the Pixiu's body is not as strong as in the Pixiu's memory.
It can be seen that the Pixiu has consumed a lot of the dragon soul's energy over the years.
Suddenly, the crack in the copper ball expanded rapidly, and a ray of golden light shot out from the crack, rushing straight to the roof and illuminating the entire room.
In this golden light, a small and exquisite Pixiu gradually revealed its figure.
It has a sturdy body, golden hair, a pink body, bright eyes, and a hint of dragon spirit flashes from time to time.
When the Pixiu appeared, it opened its mouth and swallowed the outer shell of the copper ball.
The shell of the copper ball was like a sweet snack to it.
After eating the outer shell of the copper ball, the Pixiu suddenly turned its attention to the two long swords hanging on Gongsun Ce's waist - the Sun-Covering Sword and the Tianwen Sword.
These two long swords are Gongsun Ce’s swords, especially the Tianwen Sword, which has a special status.
The Tianwen Sword is the sword of the Son of Heaven. Even though it cannot compare to the Xuanyuan Sword, the sword of the Emperor of Man, it possesses potential that other famous swords do not have.
Seeing this, Gongsun Ce quickly reached out and grabbed the Pi Xiu.
He gently stroked the Pixiu's fur and said, "Little guy, you can't eat these two swords. They are my swords and they mean a lot to me."
The Pixiu seemed to understand what Gongsun Ce said. It blinked and nodded.
However, its eyes still did not leave the two swords.
Gongsun Ce was inspired when he saw this. He pointed to the metal floor under his feet and said to Pixiu, "There are a lot of metal gears underneath. If you are hungry, go eat these gears."
Upon hearing this, Pixiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
It let go of Gongsun Ce's hand, then jumped down and headed straight for the metal floor.
It opened its mouth and bit off a piece of metal floor.
This metal floor is like a delicious snack to the Pixiu.
After a while, the floor under Gongsun Ce's feet was completely eaten up by the Pixiu.
However, the Pixiu didn't seem to be full yet.
It looked down at the floor, where there were densely packed metal gears.
These gears are the core of maintaining the mechanism array in this room, which means they are the key to supporting the entire mechanism array structure.
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but smile when he saw this. This room was not built by Gongsun Ce, so he naturally wouldn't feel sorry for it.
At this moment, the Pixiu opened its mouth again and began to gnaw on the metal gears under the floor.
These gears were bitten and swallowed one by one in the mouth of the Pixiu, just like candies.
Pinned to the ground and unable to move by Guiguzi's pressure, Mr. Lu looked at the Pixiu feasting with heartache.
Mr. Lu felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. All this was the embodiment of his lifelong learning.
The Dragon Soul is the secret treasure of Loulan, but now the Dragon Soul is closer to Gongsun Ce, which makes Uncle Lu feel doubly heartbroken.
Time passed minute by minute, and the Pixiu finally ate all the metal gears under the floor.
It patted its belly and seemed very satisfied.
Then, it jumped onto Gongsun Ce's right shoulder, curled up into a ball, and began to sleep soundly.
Gongsun Ce looked at the Pixiu on his shoulder and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Although the Pixiu was greedy, it was also very cute. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the Pixiu's fur, his heart filled with warmth and joy.
However, only Gongsun Ce could touch the hair of the Pixiu and remain safe and sound.
After all, the Pixiu is a mythical beast, and its fur is actually extremely sharp, comparable to a divine weapon.
If other people want to touch the hair of the Pixiu, their palms will definitely be pricked by the hair of the Pixiu.
For example, Guiguzi. While suppressing Old Man Lu, Guiguzi also paid attention to Gongsun Ce.
At this time, Guiguzi saw the existence of the little Pixiu, and he subconsciously reached out to touch the little Pixiu.
But the moment Guiguzi's hand approached the little Pixiu, the little Pixiu's hair suddenly stood up like steel needles, and Guiguzi could only retract his hand.
Gongsun Ce looked at the shy little Pixiu, smiled and said, "The key has been found. We can go to Loulan."
No matter how powerful the Queen Mother of the West is, she cannot sever the connection between the dragon soul and the Demon God of War in the little Pixiu's body. Therefore, relying on the little Pixiu's perception of the Demon God of War is enough for Gongsun Ce to find the entrance to Loulan.
In the vast desert, Gongsun Ce and Guiguzi sat side by side on a sand sled, their eyes focused on the flying little Pixiu in front of them.
The eyes of the little Pixiu flashed with golden light, and the dragon soul continued to sense the soldier demon. The little Pixiu followed his intuition and searched for the entrance to Loulan. The sand sled car traveled through the rolling yellow sand, like a giant dragon tumbling in the desert.
The wheels raised clouds of dust, but Gongsun Ce and Guiguzi didn't care about it. They were concentrating on observing the reaction of the little Pixiu.
Seven days may seem like a long time for ordinary people, but it is not long for Gongsun Ce and Guiguzi. They would go into seclusion for more than seven days at a time.
At dusk on the seventh day, the little Pixiu suddenly stopped and signaled Gongsun Ce to stop the car.
"Stop!"
Gongsun Ce had an idea and thought that they might have approached the entrance of Loulan, so he ordered the soldier leader to stop. The soldier leader slowly slowed down and the sand sled slowly stopped.
Gongsun Ce and Guiguzi jumped off the sand sled and followed the footsteps of the little Pixiu, stepping into the quicksand.
The quicksand seemed to have life, slowly devouring their bodies.
However, Gongsun Ce was not afraid at all. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The same scene happened the last time he entered Loulan.
Seeing that Gongsun Ce was not afraid at all and even closed his eyes, Guiguzi also closed his eyes and waited to be swallowed by the quicksand.
The next moment, Liusha rushed down with Gongsun Ce, Guiguzi and the little Pixiu.
They seemed to be lifted up by a huge force, passing through the thick sand layer and arriving at the temple of Loulan.
This is the holy temple of Loulan, a building with very Western characteristics.
Gongsun Ce quickly came to his senses. He controlled the breeze to lift up his and Guiguzi's bodies, suspending them in the air.
They were suspended in the air. Gongsun Ce held up the little Pixiu in his right hand. The little Pixiu thought for a moment and turned its head to one direction.
Gongsun Ce controlled Qingfeng and took Guiguzi and the little Pixiu to the place where the God of War was sealed.
This was Gongsun Ce's second visit to this place, but it was Guiguzi's first visit.
Guiguzi stared at Chiyou's bronze mask, and his heart was filled with a storm of emotions.
Through the bronze mask, Guiguzi seemed to see Chiyou’s heroic figure and the invincible power of the unity of man and nature.
However, just as they were about to move on, Lady of the West blocked their way again.
"Half a step to the state of unity between man and nature? Why did you come here?"
Lady of the Nine Heavens asked in a cold voice.
Guiguzi smiled slightly and said, "I came here to break through the state of unity between heaven and man. I heard that Your Excellency the Lady of the Nine Heavens left an incarnation in Loulan, so I came here specially to ask for your advice."
The Lady of the Nine Heavens frowned and said, "The affairs of Loulan are more important than personal matters. You should leave quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
There is some moral blackmail in the words of Lady of the West, but the power of the Demon God of War is indeed extraordinary. Even if the power of the dragon soul has been eroded over the years, an ordinary grandmaster is not as powerful as the Demon God of War.
Unless these grand masters who have reached the state of half-step unity between man and nature can mobilize the power of heaven and earth with all their strength to take action within their domain.
Otherwise, the power in the world that can stop the God of War would be rare.
Guiguzi heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Now that I have come this far, there is no reason to retreat. Today, I must fight with you!"
Before he finished speaking, Guiguzi moved and turned into a residual shadow and rushed towards the Queen Mother of the West.
He had no sword in his hand, but as he rushed forward, two illusory sword shadows condensed in his hands.
The two sword shadows, one black and one white, exuded a sharp aura.
"Spanning all directions, a hundred steps of flying swords, vertical and horizontal combined!"
Guiguzi shouted so loudly that the earth shook.
Then, the two illusory sword shadows transformed into two divine dragons, one black and one white, roaring and pouncing towards the Queen Mother of the West.
The two dragons exuded powerful forces of heaven and earth, as if they could devour the Queen Mother of the West.
When Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu saw this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
She didn't expect that Guiguzi could forcibly plunder the power of heaven and earth for his own use even in her territory.
However, her expression remained calm. She raised her hand and waved it. The power of heaven and earth instantly transformed into dragon-slaying blades and slashed towards the two dragons.
"Bang bang!"
The sharp blade collided with the dragon, making a deafening sound.
The two dragons continued to struggle under the slashing of the sharp blade, but were eventually cut off one by one.
The power of heaven and earth that Guiguzi plundered dissipated, and only the sound of the dragon's roar that had not completely dissipated proved how magnificent the blow Guiguzi had once delivered was.
Seeing this, Guiguzi showed a solemn look on his face.
He didn't expect that the power of an incarnation of the Queen Mother of the West would be so powerful and her control over the power of heaven and earth would be so terrifying.
However, Guiguzi just took a deep breath and rushed towards the Queen Mother of the West again.
"Catch the sword!"
At this moment, Gongsun Ce shouted softly and threw the Sun-Covering Sword and the Tianwen Sword. Guiguzi caught the two swords and said thank you.
"Thank you!"
After Guiguzi caught the two swords, he felt that the swords were inexplicably smooth to use. With his distracted perception, Guiguzi discovered that the sword intent had already seeped into the two swords.
Therefore, among the famous swords in the world, except for the Sun-Blanking Sword and the Tianwen Sword in Gongsun Ce's hands, there are no other famous swords that can achieve the sense of unity between man and sword with Guiguzi.
