Volume 1 Owl Demon Rebirth Chapter 33 Climbing the Tower
"Brother, do you have to go?"
"Well, I'm going to get what belongs to me."
…
Green water surrounds the mountains and flows by the lake.
At this moment, Gu Qingyang and Gu Qingying were walking side by side.
After meeting and having a simple exchange, they left the Fallen Leaf Mountains.
During this trip, Gu Qingying went to her place to pick up Gu Qingyang.
Because of Gu Qingyang's performance in the trial, the senior figures in the Hanging Coffin Gu Sect have wisely made changes.
From now on, Gu Qingyang lives in the same place as her. This makes Gu Qingying feel that the past days are back.
Although, in addition, the sect also gave Gu Qingyang many rewards.
But for the two brothers and sisters, the most important reward is this.
It is precisely for this reason that Gu Qingying now smiles from time to time.
However, Gu Qingying also didn't understand why Gu Qingyang had to go to the Hanging Coffin Sutra Pavilion.
Along the way, even though she had made it clear to Gu Qingyang, her place of cultivation had everything she needed, both in terms of resources and inheritance.
But Gu Qingyang still insisted on going.
So, although she felt helpless about it.
But this was Gu Qingyang's decision, and she couldn't say anything more, so she could only support it. And standing not far away was the ancient pavilion.
"Ying'er, wait for me here."
"good."
Saying goodbye to Gu Qingying and walking a little further, Gu Qingyang arrived at the entrance of the Hanging Coffin Sutra Pavilion after a while.
He stopped where he was, then raised his head, silently staring at the towering building in front of him.
He has only been to this place twice from beginning to end.
Logically speaking, this place should have no meaning to him.
However, it was only his first time here and he made a bet with others.
Although, the stakes in that gambling game are nothing to him now.
However, he has no intention of letting go of the elder guarding the pavilion now.
To gain a foothold in this ancient hanging coffin sect, some benefits can be given away. But there are some benefits that cannot be given up even at all.
When participating in the secret realm trial, what the man named Ye Lu said was actually correct.
At that time, he could indeed kill Ye Lu in exchange for trial points.
With Ye Lu's strength, it is not difficult to guess what kind of wealth he has accumulated from the trial points.
If such a fortune is placed in front of other bone cultivators, then other bone cultivators will definitely go crazy for it, right?
Gu Qingyang knew that those people would definitely do it.
But he really has to face the same thing.
He, however, could not kill Ye Lu.
In the secret realm of Tian Coffin, he gave everyone the feeling that he did not want to kill Ye Lu.
However, it's not so much that he doesn't want to kill.
It would be better to say that he just couldn't be killed.
Can't and don't want to are just one word different. But the difference in meaning is a world of difference.
If you don’t want to, you obviously can but choose to let it go.
If you can't, you can't. There is no other reason.
During the trial in the secret realm, he successively killed more than twenty people, as well as the disciples from the Seventh Peak, which was considered a relatively normal thing.
At that time, the old guys from the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect would still hurt him. But it was different later.
Later, as time passed and the war broke out, the branch factions to which those elders belonged suffered huge losses.
The entire young generation of the Xuan Coffin Ancient Sect, how many disciples do they have in total?
After experiencing that battle, half of the young disciples died at his hands.
Regarding this matter, it is impossible to say that those old people have no thoughts about him.
But which of those old guys is not an elder-level figure?
It is even more impossible for them to personally trample the sect rules that they usually regard as the most ideal and take action against Gu Qingyang, an ordinary disciple.
Therefore, they can only remember Gu Qingyang, can only turn their anger into hatred, and then bury it in their hearts. What they want is a bright future.
As long as Gu Qingyang is still in this hanging coffin ancient sect, if they want to embarrass him, what chance will they have in the future?
In order to avoid the trouble these people might bring to him, Gu Qingyang chose to accept the situation as soon as possible, leaving Ye Lu alive.
In this way, it gives them a step.
He also lets them understand that he also knows how to advance and retreat.
Sure enough, after doing this, he returned to the Luoye Mountains and did not delay his practice due to any unexpected events.
However, this is compared to the ancient hanging coffin sect.
In other words, this is not his private matter.
The decision he made at that time would affect the image he left in the minds of the entire Xuan Coffin Ancient Sect elders.
Today, he has to deal with personal matters.
After all, that bet just seemed ridiculous.
Gu Qingyang knew very well that if he still performed mediocrely in the secret realm trial, he would definitely be like a lost dog now.
The ridicule and humiliation of him by those disciples would only become more serious. Those elders would not take him to heart at all.
This is an extremely realistic world.
In this world, as long as you are strong, you can see that others look up to you and respect you.
And if you are weak, no one will take you seriously, let alone other things.
In his previous life, Gu Qingyang had not never thought about what a bone cultivator was pursuing after practicing all his life.
Glory? Power? Wealth?
Happiness? Freedom? Ideal?
Or something else?
Gu Qingyang had thought about these things.
In his understanding, the so-called ideal is actually just an illusion.
The world cannot change drastically because of one person.
Those bone cultivators who have worked hard for their ideals are not so much changing the world for their ideals as they are changing themselves for their ideals.
An ideal world can be very beautiful, so beautiful that it exceeds most people's imagination. But such a world still does not exist after all.
No matter what kind of person he is, in the end, don’t he still exist in this world?
This world is not an ideal world, but a real world.
The real world will never be beautiful.
Because truth itself is not a kind of beauty.
Gu Qingyang felt that no matter what happened in the past life, the past things have become the past after all.
Now that he can live again, he will not let certain things become reality again.
This is part of his ideal.
If this is the case, then go and change yourself.
So he came here, just as he told his sister.
He came here just to get something.
Because of that bet, he will have something that belongs to him here.
After a long period of silence, Gu Qingyang finally set off.
He no longer stood still as he had just done, but strode forward, following the endless flow of people into the Hanging Coffin Sutra Pavilion.
However, he did not go straight to the seventh floor of the nine floors of the Hanging Coffin Sutra. After entering here, he became just like everyone else.
Stop and go, stop and go.
But along the way, Gu Qingyang could only be disappointed. Because the things collected in the ninth floor were really not good enough.
"The things collected in the lower nine floors are really beyond the imagination of others."
"But Qingying once said that the things contained in the upper nine floors are completely different from the lower nine floors."
"Should I go take a look?"
Gu Qingyang took out his identity jade tag and took a look at this thing that represented his identity in the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect.
A long time ago, it was almost exactly the same as other people's identity jade plaques, with no obvious difference.
But now, this identity jade badge has a completely new look.
Originally, it was just an ordinary piece of white jade, with an average texture and a rather warm feel.
Now, it is a brightly colored blood jade.
The whole body is red, red and flawless.
After the trial in the secret realm, Old Man Tianzhi once said in public at the conference that one of the rewards he received was to be promoted to an inner disciple.
He didn't feel much about this reward at first. He always felt that this reward was too ordinary.
But now, when he saw this identity card, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have more rights now.
After realizing this, Gu Qingyang did not stop at any of the nine floors below. He began to climb the stairs and kept moving forward.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths... After dozens of breaths, he disappeared from the lower nine floors and went straight to the upper nine floors.
"Um?"
At the same time, in the lower nine floors, a middle-aged man also ended his meditation and silently opened his eyes on the ninth floor of the lower nine floors.
After feeling Gu Qingyang's aura, the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown. At the same moment, he also sighed in his heart:
"What is supposed to come will come eventually."
At the same time, Gu Qingyang relied on his identity jade card to enter the upper nine levels that he had never set foot on.
In an instant, he was completely attracted by the scene in front of him. What appeared in front of him was a rack of wooden cabinets arranged in an orderly manner.
The sun shone through the window, illuminating the things on the wooden cabinets clearly, and Gu Qingyang looked at them very carefully.
However, the items displayed on the wooden cabinets in the first row were actually rolls of ancient wooden slips. This was something Gu Qingyang did not expect.
The content in that wooden slip was the entire ancient history of the Hanging Coffin Sect, especially the part that recorded the origin of the sect.
That part of the content occupies as much as half of the entire content.
After taking a closer look, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but frown.
Although the content in this wooden slip is similar to what was passed down orally by the disciples of the Ancient Xuan Coffin Sect.
However, the records of the Deciduous Mountains are few and vague.
If someone who doesn’t know enough about the Fallen Leaf Mountains reads this, they won’t doubt anything.
But he was different. With just two glances, he discovered that the author of this wooden slip seemed to be deliberately concealing something.
But in the end, he still couldn't see the point.
All he could think of was the mysterious ancient formation based on the entire Luoye Mountain Range.
And such a discovery also made the feeling of surprise in his heart become even stronger.
Until the end, he felt that the feeling in his heart had turned into an ominous feeling.
"I hope I was wrong or overthinking."
"However, facing such a possibility, I can't help but be prepared."
"This is a demon cultivator sect after all. There may be something behind all this."
…
When he gently put down the wooden slip in his hand, Gu Qingyang had read the entire history of the Hanging Coffin Gu Sect over and over again.
While Gu Qingyang was carefully savoring the content, he had already silently made up his mind in his own heart.
Anyway, starting from this moment.
His goal for the future is not just to improve his strength and deal with the current Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect.
After that, he went up six floors to see all the collections. Finally, when he came downstairs, his storage ring was full.
What Gu Qingying said is right. The things in the upper nine floors are indeed completely different from those in the lower nine floors. They are not of the same quality at all.
However, after he climbed to the sixth floor of the nine floors, he stopped climbing.
At this moment, he was extremely satisfied with what he had gained from his trip to the Hanging Coffin Sutra Pavilion.
However, he still did not forget his original intention.
So, he still came to the seventh floor of the lower nine floors, and then in full view of everyone, he saluted the middle-aged man and said loudly:
