Chapter 269 Shadow of Time
Three drops of immortal king blood essence quietly floated on Gu Wudi's chest.
They were too bright, more dazzling than the sun, with immortal light, millions of auspicious clouds, illuminating the mountains and rivers, as red as blood diamonds, and filled with sacred breath, and the life fluctuations were as vast as the ocean.
This was not only the blood of the immortal king, but also the essence of blood, with great cause and effect, full of fragments of the Great Dao.
The three drops of blood were adjacent to each other, creating an extraordinary field. In a trance, Gu Wudi seemed to see a magnificent ancient peach tree, rooted in the endless essence of the immortal way.
Is that the body of the supreme immortal king Pan Wang?
Gu Wudi didn't know, he gathered his mind and put away the three drops of Pan Wang's blood essence with great solemnity.
As the immortal king Pan Wang who became a Taoist with the body of the elixir of immortality, his blood essence was more advantageous than the blood essence of other immortal kings in terms of saving people's lives.
With these three drops of Pan Wang's blood essence, and the Endless Bell given by the Immortal King Wuzhong, it was enough for him to save his life in the sea of boundaries.
"Master, don't worry, nothing will happen." Gu Wudi comforted him, and then said goodbye to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone and the two True Immortal Dao children.
"If Qingyue returns, please keep my whereabouts a secret from you two."
Before leaving, Gu Wudi turned around and said this.
"Of course, with Qingyue's temper, if she knew you went to the boundary sea, she would probably follow you." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded.
Seeing this, Gu Wudi no longer had any worries.
This time, the purpose of going to the boundary sea is no longer just to chase Sister Bi Yu back. He wants to stay in the sea and hone his immortal path until he can prove the immortal king.
Looking at Gu Wudi's back, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone sighed softly. In an instant, a loud noise came from the quiet forbidden zone, the earth cracked, the earth and rocks collapsed, and underground, one array pattern after another emerged, crisscrossing, like red-hot iron flowing in the dark, blazing and dazzling.
This is an ancient formation leading to the dam world, buried under the cross Yin-Yang restricted area. Bi Yu also took this route.
Because the formation needs extremely huge energy to penetrate the boundary wall of the big world, its cooling period is very long, a full hundred years.
However, for the immortal beings, a hundred years is nothing at all, just a flick of a finger.
He stood on the formation and said goodbye to the three people. As the iron-like formation pattern emitted brilliant light, the entire formation was wrapped in a force, accompanied by the fairy mist and the light of chaos, and instantly broke through the boundary wall and teleported towards the dam world.
Time is dislocated, space is changing, the long river of years emerges in the distance, and one broken world after another sinks and floats, like duckweed in the sea.
When Gu Wudi's vision became clear again, he had come to a quiet world.
It was too quiet here, without any sound, and it was very dim. Coming here was like coming to the end of the world. Desolation and ruins are the eternal truth of this world.
Gu Wudi showed a vigilant look on his face. He knew that this was the dam world. The most obvious feature was the majestic dam lying on the horizon not far ahead.
It was tall and magnificent, simple and heavy, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.
For thousands of epochs, this dam has been lying here, bearing the impact of the waves of the sea all the time, never falling, immortal and indestructible, full of the vicissitudes of history and ancient meaning.
It makes people can't help but imagine and recall the past. What kind of powerful creatures and forces can create such a dam that stretches for thousands of years?
Gu Wudi walked over and climbed up step by step. Not far away, he saw the legendary footprints.
It was left by a quasi-immortal emperor. It flickered and emitted a faint, inconspicuous light, but it became a beacon for countless immortal kings from ancient times to the present, guiding them to cross the sea without hesitation and pursue the so-called road to breaking the king and becoming an emperor.
Gu Wudi looked at the footprints and couldn't help but sigh.
The sea crosser before the Emperor fell, a quasi-immortal emperor with the heart of the heavens, with the heart of pacifying darkness, under the gaze of the kings, stepped over the embankment step by step, stepped into the boundary sea, and left and disappeared.
Hundreds of years, thousands of years, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years... The heavens and the worlds did not wait for the quasi-immortal emperor who pacified the black disaster, but waited for the army of the dark kingdom, the ancient palaces of reception, and two ancient artifacts of origin...
And the emperor they had been thinking about, fighting one against three, outnumbered, and died on the other side of the sea. Since then, the emperors of the heavens fell, and chaos arose.
All disasters and chaos were caused by the "emperor".
He shook his head and saw some corpses of immortal creatures on the embankment. Most of them were extremely old and had been lying here for several or even more than a dozen epochs. Recently, no one had come out of the boundary sea.
However, the Great Reckoning is not far away. The dark storm has already blown from the other side. It will come to this side in a few tens of thousands of years. By then, the chaos of the heavens will be inevitable.
He searched along the embankment. He had no hope and did not expect to find Bi Yu's trace. Who would have thought that he would really get something.
On a slightly broken embankment, Gu Wudi saw Bi Yu's words, which were very beautiful and written with the blood of a true immortal. They can last for a long time without being destroyed.
"Bi Yu, I want to become a quasi-immortal king but cannot. In order to find a breakthrough, I will cross the sea and leave. Don't worry."
Gu Wudi whispered and read the words, and then looked ahead.
The sea mist in the boundary sea was thick, one layer after another, very dim, blocking people's vision. The ripples of the boundary sea that were everywhere swept over, and those who did not reach the level of a true immortal would be seriously injured in an instant and it would be difficult for them to survive here.
Through the mist, you can see huge waves. A wave is an abandoned world. With one hit, the abandoned world ceases to exist.
Looking around, the waves are endless. Countless abandoned worlds are piled together to form an endless vast ocean.
This is the boundary sea. It is too big and too vast. Even a strong fairy king would find it difficult to cross to the end.
Beings like true immortals and quasi-immortal kings can only move in the near sea at most. They cannot go to the deep sea. The wind and waves and dangers there are even more terrifying. Those who are not fairy kings have no hope of survival. Even if they are in the realm of fairy kings, they are in danger. As strong as the master of the restricted area, didn’t he return with serious injuries and had to sit and dissolve?
In the vast boundary sea, how can I find Senior Sister Bi Yu?
He took out the Endless Bell and asked for advice.
The crystal ancient bell floated in the chaotic air and told Gu Wudi how to find it.
"It's very simple. According to what you said, she is in the late stage of True Immortal. A creature in this realm can't go far in just 500 years. You just need to sit cross-legged here, use your eyesight, and look in all directions to find her figure.
However, the situation above the boundary sea is difficult to predict. There are many things that can block the sight of creatures. You must be mentally prepared."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Gu Wudi bowed and was about to use his immortal eyes to start looking for Bi Yu's trace. As a result, the Endless Bell shook slightly, overflowing with unparalleled power of time and space, tracing back to the source and restoring the old scene.
"You are too slow. Let me help you narrow the scope of your target."
As soon as the voice fell, Gu Wudi saw a beautiful and charming female fairy cautiously climbed the embankment, left ancient characters with her own True Immortal blood on the broken land, and then released a fairy treasure ship, rushed out of the thick boundary sea mist, and drove quickly in one direction.
Then, all the images faded and became nothingness, and the flow of time here returned to normal.
"This way?"
With the help of the Endless Bell, he confirmed the direction that Bi Yu took when she went out to sea, further narrowing the scope.
Gu Wudi did not hesitate, and directly opened the immortal eyes, with symbols densely in his eyes, and his sight penetrated the layers of boundary sea fog and looked into the distance.
At this time, Gu Wudi was already an unfathomable immortal in the world of mortals, and naturally he could see a very far distance.
Above the magnificent boundary sea, waves rose and fell, one abandoned world after another was disillusioned and became a dream bubble.
He saw many things, such as the unknown sea ferryman, with a lion's head, spider's legs, and crocodile's tail, which looked extremely ferocious, and for example, the immortal reefs and isolated islands, where creatures sat cross-legged, closed their eyes and rested, as if they were resting.
In addition, there are blood-stained dark ancient ships, large tombs floating on the sea, etc. Most of them are forbidden strongmen, that is, the existence of the level of Immortal King.
Only a very small number are true immortals and quasi-immortal kings. The deeper you go, the fewer the number of this kind of creatures. That is the exclusive area of the Immortal King, and it is also the tomb and forbidden area of other creatures.
There is no need for the Immortal King-level creatures to target, the True Immortals and Quasi-Immortal Kings will capsize by themselves, unable to withstand the terrifying waves, fall into the sea, and melt into the invisible.
After a glance, he unexpectedly found nothing and did not find any trace of Bi Yu. Gu Wudi frowned slightly.
A late True Immortal creature has only sailed on the boundary sea for 500 years. Even if it has a smooth journey, good luck, and the help of the boundary ocean current, it is impossible to run out of his sight.
You know, the dark ancient ship that Gu Wudi saw, the large tomb sailing on the boundary sea, etc., are at least millions of years away from the dam boundary, and this is calculated at the speed of the Immortal King.
If Bi Yu had not fallen, he would never have escaped his sight.
"Perhaps, she was sailing in a direction blocked by the power of the boundary sea, so you didn't see her.
You should know that the farthest distance you can see in each direction of the boundary sea is different. The farthest may be several epochs, and the closest may be only a hundred years." The Endless Bell said.
Then, it gave another possibility: "Or perhaps, she has encountered an accident. Women are relatively weaker than creatures sailing on the boundary sea, and are easily coveted.
Although the immortal kings and quasi-immortal kings are almost ruthless, if they meet a female immortal king or a female true immortal on the sea, they may take action. Anything can happen on the boundary sea."
Hearing this, Gu Wudi felt worried. He knew that what the Endless Bell said was true.
Since ancient times, the number of female immortal kings has been very small, whether it is immortal kings or true immortals.
At present, the one immortal emperor and five quasi-immortal emperors born in this land of heavens and worlds are all male without exception.
Most women rely on strong men to survive. Strong women like the chicken farmer and Willow God are too rare.
Because of this, when the ruthless man came across the long river of time to protect Shi Hao from disaster, the Red King was excited and wanted to suppress the ruthless man, make him submit, and accompany the emperor.
Female late-stage True Immortals like Bi Yu are also rare, and it is really possible that she will be captured.
"Senior Xian Zhong, what should we do now?"
Gu Wudi asked.
He thought about using the immortal blood marks left by Bi Yu to perform secret techniques to deduce the direction of Bi Yu.
However, the boundary sea is too special. If you don't reach the realm of Immortal King, don't even think about using secret techniques such as bloodline tracking. It's useless. Even if you are an Immortal King, it may not work.
"In that case, leave the tracking to me. These bloodstains are very useful. I need them." The Immortal Bell spoke. Its mission was to protect Gu Wudi's safety. It would not start a war to search for people on the boundary sea unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, senior."
Gu Wudi nodded.
Hearing this, the Endless Bell no longer hesitated, released the power of time, picked up the bloodstains on the broken dam, and condensed them into a drop of brilliant immortal blood.
Then, it used some taboo method, overflowed with ocean-like symbols, followed the power of time, and merged into the immortal blood.
In the blink of an eye, this drop of immortal blood turned into a human form, turning into the appearance of Bi Yu.
Just like five hundred years ago, she put down the treasure ship in the boundary sea, stood on it, and sailed in one direction.
"Follow this shadow of time. During this period, I need to maintain my secret technique and can't help you too much unless you are targeted by the Immortal King." The Endless Bell said.
Gu Wudi nodded, and quickly released a treasure ship given by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, which landed on the waves, and then followed closely behind Bi Yu's Shadow of Time.
This secret technique is quite mysterious, and even the special environment of the boundary sea cannot affect it. The so-called Shadow of Time has always been very solid, and there is no tendency to collapse.
Moreover, how fast she moves forward depends entirely on how fast Gu Wudi's ship is. The Shadow of Time is always in front of him, maintaining a constant distance.
As for the Endless Bell, it is suspended above Gu Wudi's treasure ship, glowing all over, overflowing with vast ripples of time, maintaining the tracking secret technique.
Gu Wudi did not dare to delay, and drove the treasure ship of the Immortal King giant level forward at a high speed.
The situation on the boundary sea is changeable and unpredictable. It may be calm in the previous second, and there may be a storm in the next second, with huge waves. There are also various trap areas, mysterious black fog, boundary sea whirlpools, etc.
For Gu Wudi, who entered the boundary sea for the first time, these were all the first things he saw. However, when he came here, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone gave him his experience of sailing on the boundary sea, so that he would not be completely in the dark.
As time passed, this pursuit journey was much longer than expected.
If Bi Yu stopped in one place, he would be able to catch up easily. If Bi Yu was also moving forward, it would be difficult to catch up.
Eight hundred years later, Gu Wudi finally stopped the treasure ship in front of a reef.
