After Huo Yi left this world, another night had fallen. It was only then that Xiao Yan on the mountain peak woke up in a daze.
"Well……"
The moment Xiao Yan opened his eyes, what came into view was Gu You's old face. Gu You also looked at Xiao Yan, with a smile on his old face, but in that,
And with a little bit of regret.
And since Xiao Yan had just woken up, he was not aware of the strange look in the former's eyes at all.
"Uh...what's going on? What happened?"
After being in a coma for several days, Xiao Yan, who had just woken up, felt a little dizzy in his head. He even had a vague memory of what happened before he fell into coma.
After a brief recollection, Xiao Yan quickly recalled that at that time, it seemed that it was Huo Yi who flew out of his body and activated the energy of heaven and earth. That appearance was a sign of an imminent breakthrough.
"Huh?! By the way, where is Huo Yi? Isn't he making a breakthrough? He has been promoted to half-emperor?"
After coming back to his senses, Xiao Yan quickly stood up and asked Gu You next to him. In the urgent words, Xiao Yan's concern for Huo Yi could be clearly detected.
As he spoke the words, Xiao Yan did not forget to scan the surrounding sky, but in the end he still frowned helplessly. Even his soul power could not detect the slightest trace of Huo Yi.
"Oh...there's no need to look for him, he has already left."
Gu You sighed softly, shook his head slightly and said to Xiao Yan.
"Leave? What Gu Lao means is that Huo Yi left alone?"
Hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan suddenly frowned. In his opinion, Huo Yi had just broken through to the Half-Emperor level. With his strength, if he were to walk alone in this mixed-race Western Region, wouldn't it be like running into walls on all sides?
It's absolutely impossible.
"Don't think too much, he is much safer than you think."
Seeing Xiao Yan frowning, Gu You shook his head again, directly interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts of finding someone.
After hearing Gu You's words, the worry on Xiao Yan's face was mostly reduced. Then he rolled his eyes and spoke to Gu You again:
"So, does Mr. Gu know where he is at this moment?"
"Whether you know it or not, you don't need to ask any more questions about this matter. If you have to give me an explanation, I can only say that he, like Heiyan, has his own chance. This,
Isn’t it exactly what you expected?”
Gu You took a deep breath, stood up, and spoke slowly with his back to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows lightly, looked up at the figure in front of him under the moonlight, and felt a strange feeling arise in his heart.
In just a few words, the atmosphere in the world where the two of them were in had unintuitively become a little strange and depressing. This reminded Xiao Yan of the first time he saw Huo Yi.
At that time, there was a look of indifference in his eyes.
While Xiao Yan was frowning and thinking, Gu You turned around, stared at Xiao Yan with his cloudy old eyes, and said in a condensed voice:
"They have their own path, and you just need to watch your own feet and take every step steadily. Maybe when you meet them again in the future, they will be proud of you."
Seeing this rare solemn expression on Gu You's face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then nodded to Gu You with a blank look on his face.
"You must remember that when you practice, only your own strength can ensure your survival. All external forces can only be borrowed for a while. They are not yours after all. There is no end to your practice. Never believe in what is the strongest, because
, on this continent, there is no strongest, only stronger!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned, why did Gu You's words sound more and more weird the more he heard them, as if he was about to leave him.
"Old Bones, what are you..."
"Yes, as I just said to you, the path of cultivation is yours alone. You can't always rely on my strength. Therefore, I think it's time to evolve your Burning Technique again."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Gu You interrupted him again, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan looked startled at first, then the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he said in shock:
"Old Bones, is it possible that you want me to... refine your body?!"
Hearing this, Gu You's body trembled slightly, but in the end he nodded solemnly and said:
"It is my duty to hand over my true body to you. You don't have to say whether you want to give it up or not. I have already made an oath of punishment. If you don't want to, at worst, I will be boned between heaven and earth."
Already."
"Old Bone..."
Hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan immediately understood in his heart that it was impossible for him not to refine the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, unless he wanted Gu You to disappear completely between heaven and earth. In that case, Xiao Yan would not only be unable to improve
All his strength and even Gu You's thoughts were gone.
"Old Bones, if I refine the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, then you...can you still be in the soul state..."
"It's impossible. I was born in the original body and died in the original body. After the Bone Spirit Cold Fire is refined by you, I will disappear. After all, the same kind of different fire cannot have two masters at the same time. On this point, you should
clear."
Gu You shook his head, looked at Xiao Yan calmly, and explained.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile. The Pure Lotus Demon Fire in his body had just been taken away by its real owner. Of course, there was no need to say more.
"Didn't I hear that alien fire can transform into a spirit, and after being absorbed by a person, it will exist in the form of a fire spirit? Can't you, Bone Lao, do it?"
After coming back to his senses, Xiao Yan seemed unwilling to give in. He frowned and asked Gu You again.
As far as Xiao Yan is concerned, even if he has to absorb the strange fire, if he can retain the soul of Gu You, this can be considered a good thing for Xiao Yan.
But the actual result was not what Xiao Yan expected.
"Oh, that is indeed possible, but in the final analysis, once the master of the strange fire has other thoughts, as long as the fire spirit is willing, it can escape from the control of the master of the strange fire at any time. That kind of dependent power will not have any effect at all, let alone
Don't let your Burning Technique evolve."
Gu You shook his head. Although the idea was very good, this method was only applicable to other people and had no effect at all on Xiao Yan, who was practicing the Burning Technique.
"Then...is this all we can do..."
Xiao Yan lowered his head helplessly. Although he tried his best, when he finally got it, he found that none of it worked.
"Haha, don't worry too much. This may be a little hard for you to accept, but in my opinion, this is all fate. After all, my duty is to point out the way for you. When the time is right, I will show you the way.
I will hand over the original alien fire to you."
Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Gu You chuckled lightly, revealing a slight sense of helplessness in his plain words.
"well……"
On the top of the mountain, an old man and a young man sighed in unison, turned around, and stared up at the distant night sky, feeling extremely melancholy in their hearts.
After a long time, Gu You seemed to have remembered something. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Yan who was in a daze at the side again. With a flick of his finger, a ray of light poured into Xiao Yan's mind before Xiao Yan could react.
