On the top of the mountain, Gao Yang, dressed in red robe, remained motionless, staring in the direction of Tiangan Mountain with an expressionless face.
…
On Tiangan Mountain, a demon king who was born with one horn casually threw up the body of the Golden Lion Dharma King and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Hmm... As expected of a master of the human race, he is chewy."
Hearing this, the long-eared demon king on the side was filled with envy.
"Damn it, I also want to have a taste of the human race master."
After smacking his lips, the One-Horned Demon King casually replied: "It's a pity that three of them ran away, otherwise you might also have a chance to try something new."
Hearing this, the long-eared demon king was startled.
"Those three are ruthless characters. How dare you try to take advantage of them?"
Hearing this, the One-Horned Demon King said disdainfully: "They are just three bereaved dogs. If this guy hadn't pestered the Lord desperately for a moment, none of them would have thought of running away."
Hearing this, the long-eared demon king nodded in sympathy.
Judging from the situation at the time, it was indeed a pity.
One person was seriously injured and fell into coma, and one person's true energy was exhausted, so Gao Yang still had some fighting strength.
However, compared to him in his heyday, that is nothing.
What's more, he also brought two towing oil bottles.
With the master's strength, it must be only a matter of time before he can defeat Gao Yang in this state.
It's a pity that these guys are decisive enough.
A grandmaster who had survived twenty-nine heavenly tribulations was actually willing to sacrifice himself, so that three people were run away...
Thinking of this, the long-eared demon king couldn't help but shook his head sadly again.
…
Deep in the valley, the cold pool is located.
The two Heavenly Stem Masters were several meters apart, silent.
After a long time, one of them suddenly said: "Since Gao Yang has escaped, shouldn't we speed up?"
"Don't worry, the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is no small matter. To be on the safe side, we should proceed as planned." The man who was punched by Gao Yang calmly replied.
Nodding slightly, the man who fought Chen Xinzhu spoke again: "How is your injury?"
"It can take up to three months to recover."
"Okay, then wait another three months."
…
Deep in the dense forest, Chen Xinzhu said with some confusion: "Are you saying that the purpose of the Lord of Heavenly Stems has been achieved?"
"Yes." Gao Yang nodded slightly and explained: "Originally, my cultivation level was slightly higher than his, but after being trapped for five years, the result may have been reversed."
"Is this the purpose of the Heavenly Stem Lord?" Gao Xiaoguo asked.
"No." Gao Yang glanced at the two of them solemnly and explained: "His real purpose is to survive the Thirty-nine Heavenly Tribulations before me."
After hearing this, Chen Xinzhu and Gao Xiaoguo finally understood the cause of the matter.
In today's world, who is most likely to be the first person to survive the Thirty-nine Heavenly Tribulations?
The candidates are none other than Gao Yang and the Lord of Heavenly Stems.
In the eyes of the people in the world, the two of them are at the same level, and whoever can overcome the tribulation first may have a chance.
But his family knows his own affairs, and the Lord of Heavenly Stems knows very well that he is already half a step behind Gao Yang on this road.
At the level of Grandmaster and Demon King, this half-step gap is not big, and there are still ways to make up for it.
But as the saying goes, one step first, one step first.
Once Gao Yang is allowed to survive the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation first, the half-step gap is likely to turn into a huge chasm.
At that time, the Lord of the Heavenly Stems who has not yet passed through the tribulation will no longer be able to resist when facing the Grand Master Gao Yang.
It was precisely to avoid this situation that he tried every means to cause trouble for Gao Yang.
Of course, it would be best if Gao Yang could be eliminated directly, but with Gao Yang's strength, this idea is unrealistic.
The reason why he and Gao Yang never broke into a deadly battle was because they knew that with their trump cards and strength, they would pay a heavy price regardless of victory or defeat.
Even, the possibility of dying together is even higher.
For this reason, both of them put the outcome above all else.
With the huge strength gap between the Grand Master and the Grand Master, once someone successfully overcomes the tribulation, the outcome will be clear.
It is based on this consideration that even if the trump card is exposed, the Lord of Heavenly Stem still carefully designs a very complicated trap.
In the end, he succeeded and successfully trapped Gao Yang without paying much price.
Although it was a pity that Gao Yang escaped in the end, in a sense, his goal was achieved.
The overcoming of the realm of cultivation means that the roles of the two have been reversed.
This time, the person who should be worried is no longer him, but Gao Yang.
This was not only understood by the two parties involved, Gao Yang and Heavenly Stem Master, but also by Chen Xinzhu and Gao Xiaoguo.
…
"In other words, is the Lord of Tiangan not far away from overcoming the tribulation now?"
Chen Xinzhu asked cautiously.
"No, the three-nine heavenly tribulations are no small matter. Based on my understanding of him, he will not rashly try to overcome the tribulations before he is sufficiently sure."
Having said this, Gao Yang hesitated and then said.
"I have wasted five years now. If I want to try to overcome the tribulation, I conservatively estimate that it will take at least eight to ten years. Although he is faster than me, there should be no problem within five years."
"Five years? It's a bit harsh." Gao Xiaoguo sighed.
On the side, Chen Xinzhu said nothing.
If everything goes well, then he will have the confidence to compete with the Lord of Heavenly Stems in how quickly he can overcome the tribulation.
But now that the soul is injured, even if there is a Taoist Soul Bell to nurse it back to health, I don’t know how long it will take.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu subconsciously looked at Gao Xiaoguo beside him.
Seeing this, Gao Xiaoguo responded with a sweet smile.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, Chen Xinzhu smiled and said: "Xiaoguo, it will be up to you then."
Hearing this, Gao Xiaoguo raised his head slightly proudly and said with a sweet smile: "No problem, I will protect you when the time comes."
Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu smiled and nodded.
Although he didn't know much about Xiao Guo, he never doubted her talent.
As the only peer of his age who has been closely following his cultivation, there is no doubt about Xiaoguo's talent.
Even in Chen Xinzhu's opinion, except for the soul, he may not be comparable to her.
Yes, what he said is serious.
On the sidelines, Gao Yang felt a little complicated when he saw the two of them getting along.
Although he had known for a long time that such a day would come, seeing this scene with his own eyes still made his old father feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem, it's almost time to rest. It's time for us to set off."
Soon, the three of them were on the road again.
…
Day and night rotated, time passed, and after more than ten days, the three of them crossed most of the Demon Realm and finally returned to the border of Longzhou.
After receiving the news, the Purple Shirt Dharma King came out quickly.
"Leader, are you okay?"
"It's Zishan. You've worked hard during this time..."
Seeing this scene, Gao Xiaoguo decisively pulled up Chen Xinzhu, jumped directly over the two of them, and flew towards the city behind.
"Dad, Aunt Shan, I'll take Xiao Zhuzhu down to rest first, and you guys can chat."
After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to respond, they pulled Chen Xinzhu and flew away.
Above the sky, Chen Xinzhu let Gao Xiaoguo pull him with gentle eyes.
Compared to Gao Yang's gossip, the only thing he cared about was the girl in front of him.
