Gu Qing looked at the pile of names on the stone tablet and fell into deep thought. The words of his master rang in his mind.
"Void Island, there is a city in the sky that has floated from ancient times to the present day. The power of time and years cannot erase its existence.
"It is divided into inner island and outer island. The outer island is presented in the form of an ancient city, where risks and opportunities coexist.
"As for the inner island... Nowadays, the inner island of Void Island has completely changed. It has become a place similar to a place of exile. Half-saints and holy emperors are all prisoners there.
"If we really enter the inner island, it is unlikely that even one person will be able to escape from it in all eternity.
"Even if it does come out, the cost will be immeasurable!"
As soon as Gu Qing held the evil sword and crossed the lotus, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
When I had never entered this place before and had no expectations, my master's words were like ancient legends far away from me.
But as soon as he entered the world of legends, he felt anxious and panicked. The way forward was completely unknown, and Gu Qingyi didn't know how to proceed.
His gaze continued downward.
In addition to the ancient figures on the stone tablet, there are many unknown names among them, but they should also be the names of heroes of the time.
Finally, he is probably an elder who has visited Void Island in recent times.
"The eight acquaintances are Dao Qiongcang, Beihuai, Kongyuhen, Sangqiye, Yulingdi, Cao Yihan, Yutu...
The names are scattered in random order on the stone tablets.
But each one of them has a bright legend in the Holy Continent.
Gu Qingyi breathed heavily, unable to believe what he saw.
"Even Mr. Youtu has been here? Was it after killing Guizhe Holy Mountain, or before going to Holy Mountain? Is it related to the disappearance of the old man?
"That's not right. Didn't you say that apart from the ghost beasts, there are only eight masters who came out of Void Island? How dare so many people come here?
"Hmm... maybe only the Eight Masters have been beaten into the inner island of Void Island, and the rest may have only appeared on the outer island?"
Gu Qing rubbed his chin and thought.
Suddenly, the stone tablet trembled, and a frustrated and intermittent mechanical voice appeared from it:
"Please... leave... your... name..."
Gu Qingyi was startled.
Can you still speak?
This is like a stone tablet that has not been spoken for a long time. Even speaking is so difficult, like a rusty iron sword that is no longer sharp.
but……
Can you also say, does it mean that what you are experiencing now is the same as everyone whose name is left on the stone tablet?
Gu Qingyi was a little excited.
When he thinks that he can be named on the same stone monument as so many kendo seniors, even if he is not the kind of player who "xxx is here for a visit", he does not advocate such uncivilized behavior...
At the first moment, he couldn't help but stretched out his sword and left his free and easy name on the stone tablet through the scabbard.
"Gu, Qing, Yi...
"It's written!"
He tapped the stone tablet with his sword, trying to get some kind of response.
But after a long time, nothing strange appeared on this stone tablet, and there was no special reward.
Gu Qingyi was a little disappointed. When he was about to cross the stone monument and move forward, the stone monument moved again.
Still the intermittent mechanical sound:
"Sinner...Gu Qingyi...
"Sinner...number...746392...
"Welcome...to...Void Island, please...strictly abide by...Void Island...order, violators...will die!"???
Gu Qingyi's expression instantly became dull.
Sin, sinner?
The joy of leaving his name on the stone tablet a moment ago could not dissipate the fear of the unknown in his heart.
The next second the "sinner" came out, Gu Qing felt a huge stone in his heart, which became a little heavier.
"Is it really a place of exile?
"Am I already a sinner?
"I was sucked in. How could I be guilty..."
Gu Qingyi wanted to explain, but explaining to a stone was tantamount to playing the piano to an ox, so he resisted the urge.
"What order does Void Island have?"
He patted the stone tablet with the blade of his sword. This time Gu Qingyi had experience and waited for a long time for an answer.
However, the stone tablet seemed to have lost its power source and never responded.
"Depend on!"
Gu Qing had a good heart, but this time he was forced to panic.
They keep saying that those who violate the order of the Void Island will die, but they don't even make it clear what the order is. Isn't this just putting people on the oven?
Anxiety, sadness, heart season, panic...
Gu Qing raised his eyes and looked at the streets of the ancient city in the distance. He felt that the endless loneliness in the void island could amplify all the negative emotions in people's hearts.
"boom!"
I was in a daze, with the clouds and mist above my head making it difficult to see the scenery. Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell and struck somewhere in the ancient city in the distance.
Gu Qing's heart pounded.
"If there is movement, does it mean there is someone?
"He violated the order of Void Island and was punished by thunder?"
After hesitating again and again, based on the principle of "taking care of things as they come," Gu Qing stepped hard in that direction.
"Waiting for death" is always scarier than "greeting death".
The latter represents either "destruction" or "rebirth".
The former only has endless "fear" and "certain death"!
"Buzz"
The evil sword in his arms trembled slightly. Even though it was wrapped with a sealing belt, the sword still had a faint gray evil energy at this moment.
Gu Qing glanced down and felt much calmer.
"Yue Lian, are you scared too?
"Don't worry, I can't die here.
"The Sword Burial Tomb is still waiting for me to go back and accept the inheritance. With the help of the second junior brother and the younger junior brother, I'm afraid the master will be really pissed off."
The so-called Wangshan race to death.
In front of the stone monument, the ancient city is just an ancient city. Apart from being mottled and decayed, it has no special power.
But as he walked step by step towards the center of the city, Gu Qingyi's inner uneasiness gradually spread throughout his body.
The City in the Sky is so big!
After entering the long street, the further you go, the taller the ancient buildings become.
Within a few miles, the surrounding buildings had grown from ordinary heights to ten feet, tens of feet, and even hundreds of feet.
"This is simply a country of giants..."
As soon as Gu Qing walked on the streets of the ancient city, he was as confused as an ant. At this time, he even talked to himself in a very low volume.
The dangerous building is a hundred feet high. You can pick the stars with your hands, but you dare not speak loudly for fear of frightening the heavens.
This is the true portrayal of Gu Qingyi at this time.
finally……
With the concepts of time and space completely lost, Gu Qingyi walked to the end of the first long street.
He didn't know how much time he had wasted and how long he had traveled.
But the eternal loneliness and loneliness did not leave with the arrival of the end of the long street. As soon as Gu Qing stopped at the end of the long street, he stared blankly at the vast square in front of him, and his body began to tremble.
too big!
In the Holy Holy Continent, there is no square that can be described by the word "boundless".
But now the square behind the end of the long street is a full ten miles away, maybe even dozens of miles away, and Gu Qingyi can't visually tell how wide it is.
Why can such a vast and empty place be called a "square"?
Gu Qingyi couldn't believe that this was a "square".
But judging from the surrounding giant buildings that are hundreds or hundreds of feet tall, the circular open space surrounded by them may really be just an ordinary "small square" on the Sky City.
"Huh~"
The vastness reflects the smaller self.
Gu Qing breathed out a heavy breath, finally letting go of the absurd feeling in his heart, and tried to make himself more stable.
It's just "a little bigger". There's nothing to be amazed about. This is Void Island!
No matter how ridiculous it is, it's not as ridiculous as coming from the deep sea to the City in the Sky!
"Pattering..."
The sound of rain is gentle.
There was no rain on the edge of the square, but with the huge totem in the center as the center of the circle, there was moderate rain falling in the surrounding areas.
"City in the Sky, are there any celestial phenomena?"
Gu Qing hesitated and stepped into the square.
"Buzz"
As soon as he entered, the evil sword Yue Lian in his arms trembled even more violently.
Gu Qing's spirit shimmered, and he suddenly realized that there was something missing in this square that he had previously ignored on the streets of the ancient city.
element!
That is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
"Water element...
"What a rich power! Except for the water element, almost no other elements exist.
"No, judging from the path we have taken before, the City in the Sky may not have the aura of heaven and earth at all. It is weird that this square does..."
Gu Qing gently comforted Xie Jian Yue Lian, then suddenly bent down and touched the ground of the square.
There were complicated carvings on the ground of the square. Gu Qing originally thought that these were the standard features of the strange elements of Sky City Square, but after touching them, he realized that they were not.
"The power of the elements!
"This is... the manifestation of the secret formation! It's also the water element!"
The boy's eyes narrowed, and Gu Qing thought of something.
The thunder just now fell in a nearby place. If my inference is correct, someone is haunting here...
"Are they people who have lived from ancient times to the present, or are they people in trouble like me?"
Gu Qingyi's body trembled slightly again.
He couldn't imagine what level of strength an old monster would have now if it had survived from ancient times.
This thing sounds ridiculous, but on Void Island, it is completely possible!
However, it is a horror. Gu Qingyi can say whatever he likes, but he still maintains the slightest sanity that he possesses as the next generation successor of the Sword Burial Tomb.
He was thinking that there might be a chance that the ancient giant could survive to this day, but it shouldn't be high.
And if we are all "in trouble"...
As for the secret of the water system, he could only have one specific result flashing through his mind at the moment.
"help me……"
While he was thinking, a cry for help, as low as a mosquito's fly, sounded softly in his ears.
Gu Qing's whole body trembled, and he bounced up, and the famous sword in his arms circled out.
"who!"
With a loud shout, the evil sword Yue Lian roared with a sonorous sound, and the sealing belt fell off instantly.
The sword was unsheathed, and gray evil energy instantly dyed half of the sky in the vast square.
The cold sword intent burst out from the body, turned into substance, and slashed into the endless space around it, up and down, left, and right.
After keeping away any possible risks, a huge ice lotus of more than ten feet spread out its leaves slowly under its feet, and then closed the cage layer by layer, protecting Gu Qingyi in the heart of the lotus.
"Illusion Swordsmanship·Lianyou!"
"..."
There was silence for a while.
Gu Qingyi, who took any unknown seriously, failed to receive the follow-up to his cry for help.
There was only awkward silence in the air, responding to his sudden and huge movements, as if mocking him for making such a fuss like a frightened bird.
"Damn it, are you trying to scare me to death..."
Without his junior brothers and sisters around him, Gu Qing used swear words unscrupulously, his face full of anger, and used exaggerated gestures to better vent his inner fear.
But just when he thought it was an auditory hallucination and removed the ice lotus, the faint ghostly scream appeared again in his ears.
"help me……"
"Fuck your mother!"
Perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long by being a role model, after being alone, Gu Qingyi didn't care about "face" at all.
He shouted and cursed, and he had already detected the source of the sound despite being well prepared.
A backhand sword.
The evil sword Yue Lian, whose blade was completely unsheathed, streaked across the space like a crescent arc.
The awe-inspiring gray evil energy turned into a sword light, which expanded layer by layer into a superb sword light that could match the current giant city. In an instant, it flew over the soaring totem pole in the center of the square and went to the extreme opposite of this boundless land.
"boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded the moment the sword light disappeared.
With Gu Qingyi as the starting point, the totem pole as the middle section, and the far side as the end, the square was cut into a huge black ravine as deep as a natural chasm.
The smoke cleared and the dust settled.
"despair."
Gu Qingyi silently sheathed his sword, but unexpectedly saw that even the ancient city building and square, which was strong enough to withstand Taixu's attack, was split into two by himself.
But the huge totem in the center of the square bore the brunt of the evil sword's attack and was actually unscathed!
Not even a single crack appeared!
"Is it that hard?"
Gu Qing's brows twitched, he couldn't believe what he saw with his naked eyes.
The attack with the evil sword fully unsheathed was so shocking that even the master had to avoid the edge temporarily.
What kind of material is this totem made of? Can it withstand a blow without any damage?
"help me……"
The weird sound appeared again.
Gu Qing's face turned pale, and he couldn't bear the feeling of sadness anymore.
He held the evil sword and used Wuwu Sword Style, which blocked the terrifying gravity of the Sky City and flew directly into the scope of the rain, wanting to see the true face of this totem.
"brush!"
As soon as he entered the area covered by the rainwater bag, the water system secret formation diagram flashed under his feet, and Gu Qingyi found that he was teleported to the back of the totem.
big!
The first thing that bears the brunt is the feeling of "bigness".
The totem is like Optimus Prime, so big that when viewed from the front, it does not look like a cylinder, but a cube.
On this huge "totem wall", blood stains flowed down from time to time along with the rain.
Gu Qing raised his eyes and looked up.
But at the high point of the totem, a miserable man with disheveled hair and wet body was tied up with heavenly chains in the distance.
The man was dressed in tattered white bloody clothes, his face was unclear, his feet were bare, and his skin was torn.
If nothing else, this is where the cry for help came from.
Gu Qingyi narrowed his eyes, already prepared to fight against being "taken away", and asked:
