Chapter 709: Returning the Pearl
Just as Mo Tianwei was pondering why the mastermind behind the scenes would be so bloodless, she suddenly felt a fluctuation from the outside world, and she immediately became alert.
Leaving a distraction to watch over Gu Nan, she appeared in the lake.
A figure was not far from her, and when she appeared, it immediately turned its gaze on.
This is a man with an expressionless face, handsome as a finely carved doll, with a pair of black jewel-like eyes without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and when it looks at it, the person who is being targeted will subconsciously give birth to a creepy feeling.
He glanced at Mo Tianwei several times before he said, "Where did you take Gu Nan?"
The surface of the water was not far above the two of them, and with the breeze, the surface of the lake rose slightly, and the sunlight shining into the water also rippled, adding a bit of ethereal aura to the two equally beautiful creatures.
Mo Tianwei didn't answer, but asked, "Who are you?"
The handsome man was silent for a moment, and just when Mo Tianwei thought that he would definitely ignore her, he still opened his mouth to answer the question: "The one who helped her." β
This answer did not exceed Mo Tianwei's expectations.
Gu Nan said that the person who helped her disappeared suddenly, maybe it was an accident and he had fallen, or it was more likely that he had quietly left because of some circumstances.
At the moment, the person who cares most about Gu Nan's situation is not the mastermind behind the scenes, but the mysterious person who told Gu Nan part of the truth.
The mysterious person will tell Gu Nan the truth, and there must be his plans, so of course he won't want Gu Nan to have any accidents, and it is understandable that he will leave some means on her.
This handsome man was afraid that it was because of this that he discovered Gu Nan's disappearance so quickly.
"Why do you want to help Gu Nan, what do you want to get from her?" Mo Tianwei said simply, "Gu Nan has entrusted me with carte blanche to handle the affairs of the Gu family, you can tell me everything now." β
Mo Tianwei didn't say her name - it is estimated that the other party may not know it, but the identity of "Gu Nan's client" should be enough to win people's trust.
The handsome man really didn't ask, but said, "Since Gu Nan has already handed over the matter to you to deal with, it's okay." β
"My name is Gu Lingkong. He said, "I am a family man." β
"The people of the Gu family?"
Mo Tian glanced at him suspiciously, she used to think that the mysterious person who helped Gu Nan was in league with the mastermind behind the scenes, why didn't it seem like this now?
"Those past grievances are my family's affairs, you don't need to know. Gu Lingkong said lightly, "You just need to know what the situation is now." β
"You should have guessed that the reason why the Gu family is locked in this world is because of the strange space power in the Gu family's bloodline. The Gu family's descendants call it - Lingkong Xuan. β
Lingkong Xuan?Gu Lingkong?
Mo Tian glanced at him subconsciously, the amount of information revealed by this name seemed to be a bit large.
"Lingkong Xuan is not a simple space power, if a person's bloodline has enough Lingkong Xuan, he can even physically shuttle through chaos and break through the universe. β
Speaking of this, Gu Lingkong glanced at Mo Tianwei, his eyes still did not fluctuate, but there was a little melancholy in his tone, "You should know what such a bloodline represents." β
Needless to say, the physical body shuttles through chaos and breaks through the universe, which is probably something that only a saint can do, right?
Fortunately, there are no saints in the era in which the Gu family lives, and there is no one in the Gu family who has a high concentration of spiritual space in the bloodline that can shuttle through chaos and break through the universe, otherwise such a family will either be destroyed or enslaved, where can they still take refuge under the gate of the Xianhua Holy Palace and live a peaceful and peaceful life?
"You must be very puzzled, even if the Gu family has a spiritual void in their bloodline, it is not worth spending a lot of money to repeatedly turn back time on the Gu family. Gu Lingkong paused and then continued, "Actually, it's not a loss at all. β
Not a loss?
Could it be that the Gu family is actually in some strange secret realm of time?
In the secret realm of time, there are time that flow faster than the outside world, and there are time that flow slower than the outside world, so it's not very unusual to have a time that will be reversed repeatedly, right?
Mo Tianwei felt that this guess was very reasonable.
But soon Gu Lingkong denied it, "The Gu family is in the annex space of the Sword Shrine, but before they moved into the annex space, this space had an owner. β
"That master is a damaged treasure - the wheel of time. β
With Mo Tianwei's vision, she had heard of the highest-level magic weapon, which was the innate spirit treasure, and the higher-level treasure had really never heard of it, Gu Lingkong probably also considered this problem, and did not say the grade of the treasure, but directly talked about its powerful power.
"I don't know what happens when it's complete, and I don't know whose hands it was broken from, I just know that even if it's damaged, it can still swallow the entire attached space, directly absorb the chaotic qi, and arbitrarily accelerate time, pause time, and reverse time. β
Mo Tianwei was thoughtful, that is to say, the Gu family was locked in the wheel of time.
The time reload absorbs the chaotic qi, this power is simply inexhaustible, and it is used to support it to use the Gu family to turn back time, and the cost can be said to be almost zero - this is simply a profitable business!
In such a lucrative business, she said before that people were losers, which was really wrong.
I'm still too naΓ―ve!
"You mean, it was the Time Wheel that put the Gu family in such a desperate situation?" Mo Tianwei frowned, "What does it want to do?"
"It's so badly damaged that it's very difficult to repair it. Gu Lingkong said, "So, it used another method to reconstruct its body. β
It is not uncommon for high-level magic weapons to have their own spirituality, and it seems that among the saints who have been in harmony with the Tao, there are many Buddha-figures who are magic weapons.
Listening to Gu Lingkong's words, Mo Tian's light flashed slightly, "It used to be a simple time magic weapon, but now it wants to cultivate both time and space?"
This is really a grand and lofty goal, the so-called four directions up and down the universe, the past and present, if the time wheel can really do both time and space, then it is not difficult to open up a universe.
Merely......
Mo Tianwei had a strange feeling in his heart, how did this sound familiar?
Gu Lingkong didn't know that Mo Tianwei actually had a sense of "dΓ©jΓ vu", he continued to say in that undulating voice: "That's almost the case, if you want to solve the dead end faced by the Gu family, you have to break the space blocked by the time recycle, and prevent it from using time to turn back to make you do useless work, and you will inevitably be chased and killed by the time rewind afterwards......"
Hindering people from becoming enlightened, he glanced at Mo Tianwei, "Are you ready?"
Mo Tianwei: "......"
No, I didn't, wait, I'll think about it.
This kind of top-level treasure of the Time Wheel can be dealt with by a mere Distraction Venerable, this situation is simply much worse than what she imagined before!
Mo Tianwei felt that he had nothing to love.
She looked at Gu Lingkong, "What is the strength of the Time Wheel, what are its flaws, and how can you help?"
"The strength of the Wheel of Time is very strong, at least in your Nether, no one can match. β
"The flaw in the Wheel of Time is that it has been severely injured, and if you can find its injuries and let them recur, then you still have some hope of escaping. β
"As for how I can help......
Gu Lingkong raised his hand.
With his movements, the small stones at the bottom of the lake trembled violently, and the surrounding water rippled in circles, as if something was swimming freely.
Mo Tianwei heard a sharp hissing and howling in his ears, which was the unwilling roar of the ghost.
A ray of light lit up in Gu Lingkong's hand, and there was an extra key that was as crystal clear as a gem.
He handed the key to Mo Tianwei, "This is the key to open this sealed space." β
Mo Tianwei: "......"
Served, Mo Tianwei really served.
Would anyone really hide the key in a locked "box"?
What's the point!
Mo Tianwei felt for a moment that those who threw the key into the sea and space in order to keep the secret were really weak, after all, it was still possible to be found, but lock the key into the box...... This is really self-defeating.
"How can I open this space now?" Mo Tianwei held on to the last glimmer of hope, "Is it okay to use it now?"
Gu Lingkong shook his head, "Of course not, the key can only be used after you go out." β
Mo Tianwei: "......"
Well, in fact, she can also understand, after all, the time wheel does not need a key to open the lock, and the person who needs the key will only be the Gu family who is locked in the box, and the key can only be in the box.
Mo Tianwei took the key, but couldn't help but ask, "You...... Who the hell is it?"
Gu Lingkong's figure had gradually become a little illusory, and he glanced at Mo Tianwei deeply, "I am a container used by the Time Recycle to store Lingkong Xuan. β
"The Spiritual Void Xuan can't be preserved in anything other than the Gu family's bloodline, and the Time Heavy Wheel can't absorb too much Spiritual Void Xuan for the time being, and a large part of it is stored with me. β
Mo Tianwei: "The concentration of the Spiritual Void in your body must be very high, so why can't you shuttle through the void and leave, breaking the Gu family's death?"
"I'm also locked in the wheel of time. He actually showed a hint of a smile, although it was extremely shallow, "I will never be able to solve the Gu family's death with my own hands." β
The voice fell, and Gu Lingkong's figure completely faded away and disappeared.
Mo Tianwei stood in the lake and thought quietly, and did not leave.
Gu Lingkong's cooperative attitude is very good, but this does not mean that his words are absolutely credible, she must have her own judgment to make the most beneficial choice for herself.
It's just that what bothers her the most at the moment is not whether Gu Lingkong's words can be trusted, how much is credible, but ...... What was the feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu that she had before?
Mo Tianwei subconsciously felt that this was very important.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up - she could understand why!
If the time recycle wants to cultivate both time and space, wouldn't it be very similar to the pupil of time and the pupil of emptiness?!
The Pupil of Time and the Pupil of Emptiness were incarnated by a powerful eye in ancient times, or even more distant times, and each of them hid half a world behind it, and after she obtained it, they merged into one, and finally refined into the Sword Domain World.
In fact, the potential of the Sword Domain World is very huge, and it is qualified to grow into a universe - of course, that will be a long, long time later.
The wheel of time seems to be heading in this direction.
Mo Tianwei felt that there was something strange in this.
The time wheel is a treasure, in ancient times, this kind of treasure was generally born from heaven and earth, and it was born powerful, but there were also shortcomings - for example, those saints who were born with magic weapons, they were all born with the great avenue without exception.
This shows that the Dharma Weapon was born and wanted to become enlightened, and the road was very narrow.
The Wheel of Time has suffered a heavy blow, and this wound has not healed after millions of years, and it is really "against its nature" to think of cultivating another path in this situation.
So why does Time Wheel do this?
"Either Gu Lingkong is lying to me - but at this point, he shouldn't be lying, which is also the most reasonable explanation. β
"Either that......" Mo Tianwei grasped the key, "It's not a pure time reincarnation anymore!"
If Time Reincarnation wants to recover from its injuries, the easiest and fastest way is to cultivate the way of time that he originally walked, and choosing to cultivate the path of space is actually thankless.
Can you cultivate a great avenue just by relying on the Spiritual Void Xuan?
Mo Tianwei didn't believe this at all.
"The Wheel of Time was badly wounded, perhaps its enemies left a wisp of thought on it, and this thought polluted the Wheel of Time, making it unaware of itβor having to go down the path of time and space. β
Mo Tianwei suspected that the enemy was a space-type arcana, which was of the same grade as the Time Wheel.
"Maybe these two treasures have something to do with that great power!"
She couldn't help but think that if that was the case, it would be great - well, it didn't seem to be any good, and it didn't seem like it would help much!
Mo Tianwei was silent.
She looked at the key in her hand and put it into the Sword Domain World.
"Huh?"
As he put the key away, Mo Tianwei noticed a trace of unusual fluctuations.
An indescribable sense of familiarity came over her, and she knew that it was the Sword Domain World formed by the eyes of time and space reminding her that this key, or the Wheel of Time, was indeed related to the great power of the past.
"What a coincidence. β
Mo Tian sighed weakly, walked out of the lake, released Gu Nan, and then walked in one direction.
The place she went to was the Gu family's treasure houseβthat slightest fluctuation just now came from the Gu family's treasure house.
This time, she had to go inside, if she didn't want to, and find a way out of the locked space.
Gu Nan had already climbed up from the lake, his eyes swept around, and his eyes were still shining with hope.
Although she couldn't see it, she knew that the female cultivator must be around, she would help her fulfill her wishes, and the Gu family would not go on like this forever......
"It's going to work......" she cried out to herself.
Gu Nan patted the dust on his body, and was about to leave, when something suddenly slipped down from his sleeve robe.
It was a beaded flower, it looked familiar, and she seemed to have one too.
Gu Nan leaned over and picked up the bead flower, carefully put it in his purse, and left the garden along the path.
