In Gu Chen's impression, Wu Lingxian was a peerless warrior who was upright and willing to take revenge.
But this Wu Lingxian, who was so numb that he never even went back to see his father who lived alone on an island, made him feel very strange.
Will practicing Taoism really eliminate all kinds of human emotions such as family, friendship, and so on?
"Master Wu, in order to pursue a higher realm of cultivation, he gave up everything and didn't even see his father on his deathbed. Is it really worth it?"
Gu Chen asked, thinking of the old fisherman's concern for his son before he died, and suddenly felt worthless for him.
Even if the old man dies, he will bury himself by the sea so that his son can see him when he comes back.
"Everything in the world is just a burden. What I pursue is only the peak of martial arts." Wu Lingxian replied coldly.
Gu Chen suddenly felt that there was no point in talking and looked around. "Master Wu, what are we doing here?"
"Wait." Wu Lingxian only answered with one word.
"What are you waiting for?" Gu Chen had an inexplicable premonition.
"I haven't finished telling my previous story yet."
Wu Lingxian smiled calmly.
Gu Chen suppressed his temper and listened to him carefully.
"I received the inheritance of martial arts here and practiced hard for decades. In the end, I just wanted to pursue a higher realm and nothing else."
"But my cultivation has gradually hit the ceiling. The vitality of the Canghuang Ancient Star and the world has been lost too seriously. Not only is the immortal no longer available, but the road to martial arts is also completely cut off."
"Just when I was trying hard to find a breakthrough but still found nothing, and almost went crazy, about three years ago, someone came to the eyes of Tiankeng and found me."
When Wu Lingxian said this, Gu Chen looked shocked and looked at him in surprise.
"That person made a deal with me. He will help me leave Canghuang Ancient Star and continue my interrupted martial arts path. In return, I will also do something for him."
Wu Lingxian's tone was very calm, but Gu Chen's heart was filled with ups and downs. "What did he ask you to do?"
"He asked me to help him lead the people he needed into the Tiankeng Earth Eye and lift the seal that had existed here for hundreds of thousands of years. About a year ago, he added another condition, asking me to bring one person to the cave unharmed.
In front of him, that person is you."
When Gu Chen heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore. "Is that man you are talking about my father?"
No matter the time, place or motivation, my father completely fits the person Wu Lingxian said!
Wu Lingxian glanced at Gu Chen calmly. "I'm not sure if he is your father, but it is true that he values you very much."
Gu Chen's heart stirred up a huge wave. He had never doubted Wu Lingxian until now, but he didn't expect that everything turned out to be a conspiracy!
If everything happening now is a trap set up by the other party and Wu Lingxian, wouldn't that mean...
"That person can control the ancient corpse in the eyes of Tiankeng?"
Gu Chen took a breath, only the other party could control the tide of ancient corpses to plan the current situation!
Because of the emergence of the ancient corpse tide, and Wu Dian adding fuel to the flames, all forces joined forces to come here!
Gu Chen didn't know what seal the other party wanted to lift, but at this moment he already understood that the person his ancestor asked him to stop was the person Wu Lingxian was talking about!
As for that person's origin, all he could think of was his father!
Gu Chen couldn't believe that his father was the initiator of all this, and he was filled with confusion.
Why can my father control the huge tide of ancient corpses?
If the ancient corpses are controlled, will the ancestors who saved him previously be also controlled?
What did they say to themselves while being controlled, and used themselves to lead all forces into the pit?
Gu Chen couldn't understand, but he knew that something big was going to happen when Wu Lingxian was confessing to him now!
Gu Chen thought of the monks who entered various stone towers. Could their current actions be related to the seal?
"After the catastrophe in ancient times, the monks of Canghuang Ancient Star turned their flesh and blood essence into a seal and integrated it with the earth. To unlock the seal, only their descendants came here, and only their descendants
His bloodline can melt the seal."
"When monks from all forces stepped into the stone tower because of their greed, the seal that had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years began to disintegrate."
Wu Lingxian told Gu Chen the truth.
Gu Chen understood everything. No wonder their entry into the Tiankeng was so smooth without many casualties. No wonder Wu Lingxian tried his best to promote an alliance between the major forces.
From the very beginning, even when he took action at the Immortal Ascension Festival and established the Martial Palace, it was all for the purpose of today!
"What is sealed? Once it is unsealed, what will be the consequences?"
Gu Chen stayed away from Wu Lingxian, extremely fearful, and began to try to find a way to leave here!
"He didn't tell me clearly what was sealed. He only said that as long as the seal is unlocked, there will be a way to leave Canghuang Ancient Star. And when the time comes, he will take you and me with him, and we will leave Canghuang Ancient Star together."
"So, we just need to stay quietly now and wait for the seal to disintegrate."
"Aren't you afraid that the lifting of the seal may bring devastating disaster to Canghuang Ancient Star?" Gu Chen said angrily.
The ancient monks must have sacrificed themselves to become a seal for something very important. How could such a state be broken so easily!
"I said, what I pursue is only the peak of martial arts, and everything else has nothing to do with me."
Wu Lingxian's face was expressionless.
"Ling Fu'an, do you really think it doesn't matter?" Gu Chen asked, calling out Wu Lingxian's real name.
Wu Lingxian heard a rare change in his expression, and a ray of light burst out in his eyes. "How do you know this name?"
"Your father, Ling Ping, was given to you by me."
After Gu Chen finished speaking, Wu Lingxian fell into silence.
"Don't you ask me what your father's last words were before he died, and how he died?" Seeing that Wu Lingxian was silent, Gu Chen's tone was extremely cold.
"Since everyone is dead, it is nothing more than loess, not worth mentioning."
Wu Lingxian answered quickly and returned to his calm demeanor.
Gu Chen realized that this man had completely forgotten his feelings. As long as he could have a glimpse of a higher realm of martial arts, he would do anything!
Whoosh!
Gu Chen rushed out from the side and tried to leave the stone tower!
He wants to stop various forces and must not let them break the seal because of their greed and ignorance.
"It's useless. I've lived here for decades. As soon as you came in, I set up a barrier. With your strength, you can't get out at all."
Wu Lingxian shook his head, "You'd better be calm. According to the agreement, I need to bring you to the other party unharmed."
puff!
Gu Chen was originally exploring the way to the side, but suddenly a Lingyan swung its tail, shot at Wu Lingxian at a tricky angle, and pointed out a finger!
That finger turned into a pure amethyst color, like an antelope hanging its horns, deducing a fatal murderous intention!
