Chapter 321: Crescent Lake

"Now that we know that the secret of Qianku Ridge is in Crescent Lake, there is no need to stay here!"

Gu Xiuyun's body swayed, turned into a escaping light and rushed into the distance.

He didn't walk very fast, his speed was comparable to that of an ordinary second-level pulse-opening person, so he didn't attract anyone's attention.

After a while, Gu Xiuyun came to Crescent Lake.

The lake is only a few feet wide, and the water is crystal clear. The tips of both ends flash with a crystal luster, which is the reflection caused by the scorching sun shining on the water.

"Crescent Lake, what's the secret?"

Gu Xiuyun took out a piece of paper from the sleeve of his robe. The piece of paper exuded a faint scent of agarwood. He had torn it from the seven hundred books in the library. At this moment, holding the piece of paper, fourteen spirit turtle black armor sticks were running rapidly. He used the secret method of divine deduction to its extreme.

During the previous deduction on the top of the mountain, Gu Xiuyun could only see the endless white fog. Now that most of the fog had dissipated, he could faintly see something unusual.

The deduction of the entire Qianku Ridge is naturally different from the deduction of the small Crescent Lake. The scope is reduced by ten thousand times, and the difficulty is also reduced by ten thousand times.

Gu Xiuyun repeatedly used the secret method of heaven, and wiped away the fog in front of him one by one, like peeling off a cocoon...

Beside the lake, the green figure stood still, like a stone statue, with only fourteen black turtle-armored sticks flipping around.

At some unknown moment, a great monster of the Kai Pulse Realm appeared in the forest in the distance.

The big demon is huge, more than ten feet tall, but it is lying on the ground and covered by the mountains and forests, making it difficult for people to detect it.

There was a fierce light in the eyes of the monster, and it slowly approached Gu Xiuyun. It took a full stick of incense before it came to a hundred feet away.

call!

The wind suddenly rose, the big demon's sharp claws fell, and its bloody mouth opened.

With the terrifying brute force of a pulse-opening monster, if this move hits, even a third-level heaven practitioner will suffer serious injuries.

At the critical moment, the green figure suddenly turned his head and let out a cold snort.

In an instant, it was like the sky was falling apart.

Endless thunder sounded in the ears of the Great Demon of the Open Pulse Realm, and a huge force pressed on it, like a giant mountain thousands of feet falling from its head.

puff!

There was a muffled sound of thunder, and the great demon in the open pulse realm had turned into flesh and melted into the depths of the soil.

This big monster couldn't figure it out until it died. Why could it be killed by a cold snort? Gu Xiuyun wouldn't help it.

release.

He was just in the early stage of the Kai Pulse Realm, but he dared to attack and kill the Half-Step Douxiao Realm. He was so impatient!

"After seven full days of deduction, we finally found the entrance to Crescent Lake."

Gu Xiuyun looked towards the lake.

There is a constant sound of wind in Qiankuling. The strong wind blowing here has been mostly eliminated, but it still makes ripples on the water surface, one after another.

The strong wind howled, and the endless ripples folded together. Even Gu Xiuyun did not expect that the real mystery of Crescent Lake was actually in the ripples.

Those ripples change constantly, but one of them never disappears or moves.

Because those are not ripples in the lake at all, but ripples in space.

Space is folded here.

"open!"

Gu Xiuyun waved one hand, and the light-refining sword energy penetrated into the depths of the ripples, and faint light emanated from the water surface.

In the eyes of others, this is just the reflection caused by the sun shining on the lake, but Gu Xiuyun knew that the light came from a folded space.

Then, several more sword lights struck down, all of them piercing the ripples. Gradually, a gap was revealed in the folded space.

Gu Xiuyun stepped forward, and his whole body turned into a wisp of breeze, slipping in through the gap.

The lake surface quickly returned to its original state, and the wind was still howling. No one knew that there had been a gap here.

…

The sky and the earth are vast, and endless wind and snow fall.

Gu Xiuyun's figure appeared out of thin air in the wind and snow. In front of him was a giant iceberg with almost no end in sight, standing horizontally between the sky and the earth, like a jade stone reaching the sky.

"This...is the secret treasure of immortality in Qianku Ridge?"

Gu Xiuyun looked around. The snow and wind covered his sight. The soul thoughts here were also suppressed layer by layer and could only cover a thousand feet in radius. As for the Taiyue Spiritual Domain, it was not affected, but the spiritual power consumed also increased a lot.

"The other three directions are all plains. Only here is an iceberg. If there is such a thing as a fairy tale, it must be this place!"

Gu Xiuyun's body was surrounded by light flashing, and he rushed towards the iceberg.

Three hours later, he stopped. The iceberg in front of him was still not far away, but after traveling for so long, the distance between him and the iceberg had not shortened by half.

"How could this happen? Are icebergs just an illusion?"

Gu Xiuyun observed his surroundings. Although there was spiritual power floating between heaven and earth,

, but it's just some free spiritual energy, not like a formation at all.

"Three possibilities. One, the iceberg is in the distance. It is just because it is too big and high, so it looks very close, but in fact, it is very far away from me."

This possibility exists.

The secret space was exceptionally pure, without even a trace of dust. As for the wind and snow, they were also incredibly transparent, so he could see extremely distant scenes.

"Two, there is indeed a formation here, but the mystery of this formation is far beyond my imagination, so much so that not even a trace can be seen."

If the second possibility is true, what Gu Xiuyun wants to think about is not the secret, but how to escape from this place!

As far as he knows, the fusion divine formation is also divided into three, six, and nine levels, just like the entry-level formation, which is divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade.

The lowest level divine formation has only two attributes, and is also a fusion of two high-grade formations.

Therefore, it is called the dual-attribute fusion divine array.

Above it, there are three-attribute fusion divine formations, and even four-attribute fusion divine formations.

The four-attribute fusion divine formation can even kill the Supreme Master. Its terrifying degree can be imagined. It is almost as terrifying as the heaven-defying divine formation of the True Realm.

If there is really a divine formation in front of him, Gu Xiuyun can only admit defeat.

"There is another possibility... a world away!"

Thinking of the last possibility, he sighed.

The True Realm masters are good at a rule. If this great man masters the rules of space or matter, he can use the world away.

As the name suggests, a small space is as far away as the world away. Facing the means of the True Realm, there is no way except to walk slowly step by step.

This means is written in the notes of the ancestors of the Divine Religion. Ordinary Douxiao Realm have never heard of the four words "a world away".

"No matter which possibility it is, my only way is to move forward and go all the way to the end."

Gu Xiuyun took a deep breath, and the light around him flashed, rushing towards the iceberg.

Three days later, the iceberg was still in front of him, not too far away.

Ten days later, the iceberg stood tall, piercing through the clouds, with no end in sight.

Thirty days later, the iceberg was still as crystal clear, and still so... out of reach.

…

Three months later, Gu Xiuyun sat cross-legged, breathing in and out silently.
