Chapter 695: Breaking the Dawn Against Heaven and Rebirth Together
Deep in the Tiandao Sect, the sound of the ancient altar crumbling still echoed in the ears. The dust settled, and the air was filled with an indescribable tranquility and solemnity.
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood side by side on the broken altar, their eyes piercing through the void, as if they saw a glimmer of hope for the future.
"Linglong, we did it." Although Gu Jiuchen's voice was a little tired, he could not hide his excitement.
He looked at Ye Linglong, his eyes full of tenderness and gratitude.
In this life-and-death contest, they not only rely on each other, but also soul mates.
Ye Linglong smiled slightly, and that smile contained both the joy of victory and the vision of the future.
"Yes, Jiuchen, we finally defeated the powerful enemy for peace and justice." She gently patted the emerald green long sword, and the sword seemed to sense the owner's mood. The green flame gradually extinguished and returned to its former calmness.
At this moment, the disciples of Tianxian Sect gathered around, their faces filled with joy of surviving the disaster and respect for the two leaders.
"Master, Senior Ye, you are our heroes!" A disciple said excitedly, and the others echoed, and the scene was very lively.
Gu Jiuchen raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and his eyes were deep, scanning everyone present.
"Although we won the battle today, the disaster of Tiandao Sect has not been eradicated. The road ahead still requires us to work together to overcome the difficulties." His words were loud and inspiring, inspiring everyone present.
Ye Linglong also nodded and added: "Yes, we must be vigilant against those remaining forces, and at the same time strengthen the alliance between sects to jointly protect the peace of this continent."
Her voice was gentle and powerful, making everyone feel unprecedented firmness and determination.
Then, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong began to deal with post-war matters.
They first arranged for the treatment of the wounded and the aftermath to ensure that every disciple of Tianxian Sect could be properly resettled.
At the same time, they also strengthened the sect's defense to prevent sneak attacks from the remnants of the Tiandao Sect.
In their spare time, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong often stood side by side on the top of the mountain, looking at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, their hearts filled with infinite reverie about the future.
They knew that although the battle was over, new challenges and opportunities were still waiting for them.
A few months later, the Tianxian Sect and several surrounding sects jointly held a grand celebration to honor the brave and fearless warriors in this battle.
At the celebration, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were honored as the leaders of the coalition, and their names were forever engraved on the monument of history.
However, for Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, these honors were nothing but passing clouds.
What they really care about is the peace and tranquility of this continent, and the partners who fought side by side with them.
After the celebration, the two came to the broken altar again.
At this moment, the altar is in ruins, but the ancient and powerful force seems to still invisibly affect the surrounding air.
"Jiuchen, look at this ruin. It was once the source of Tiandao Sect's power, but now it has become a witness to our victory." Ye Linglong said softly, her eyes full of emotion.
Gu Jiuchen nodded, he reached out and touched a broken stone tablet, as if he could feel the vicissitudes of history contained in it.
"Yes, Linglong. But it is this ruin that makes us understand more about the preciousness and difficulty of peace. We must cherish everything in front of us and continue to work hard to protect this continent."
The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations and confidence for the future.
They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as they were with each other, nothing was impossible.
At this moment, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth, shining on this land that was once full of gunpowder.
A fresh air rushed towards them, as if even nature was cheering for their victory.
"Linglong, look at the sun, how warm and bright it is." Gu Jiuchen pointed to the sky and said, his eyes flashing with hope.
Ye Linglong smiled slightly, she held Gu Jiuchen's hand tightly, and said gently: "Yes, Jiuchen. No matter how many storms there are in the future, we must be like this sun, always shining on this land and protecting our home."
Since the decisive battle that shook the world, the Tianxian Sect and its allied sects have ushered in a long-lost peace.
However, although the dawn of peace has begun to appear, the shadows are still lurking in the dark, ready to move. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong know that the real challenge has just begun.
In a few months, under the leadership of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, the Tianxian Sect quickly recovered its vitality, and the sect was thriving.
But under this superficial prosperity, an unknown force is quietly rising, intending to subvert this continent that has just calmed down.
On this day, Gu Jiuchen was practicing in seclusion, and suddenly felt uneasy, as if something big had happened.
He opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and then decided to go down the mountain to explore. Seeing this, Ye Linglong knew that Jiuchen's feeling was true, so she followed him.
The two walked to a remote valley, where they saw black fog and evil spirits rising to the sky.
At the entrance of the valley, a group of suspicious people were talking in low voices, as if they were plotting something.
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other and approached quietly.
"Hmph, although the Tiandao Sect is destroyed, the secret treasures left behind are enough for us to make a comeback!" A cold voice came from the leader of the remaining forces of the Tiandao Sect.
Ye Linglong frowned slightly and was about to attack, but was gently held down by Gu Jiuchen. He shook his head, indicating that he should find out the truth first.
The night was as dark as ink, and the valley was even more gloomy and terrifying.
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong hid their bodies and quietly sneaked into the enemy camp.
I saw a group of demon monks surrounding an ancient map, on which several secret places were marked, which were obviously clues for them to find the secret treasure of Tiandao Sect.
"Haha, as long as we find the 'Nitianzhu', we can change our fate and revive Tiandao Sect!" The leader laughed wildly, with greed in his eyes.
Gu Jiuchen's heart trembled. Nitianzhu, he had read in ancient books, is an ancient artifact with the power to change fate and reverse the world.
If it falls into the hands of the demons, the consequences will be disastrous.
Just as the demon monks were about to leave, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong suddenly appeared and pointed their swords at everyone.
"You are going against the will of heaven. Today I will let you know that justice will last forever!" Ye Linglong shouted coldly, and the emerald green sword instantly turned into a green flame, sweeping over.
A fierce battle was inevitable. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong fought against many enemies alone, but they were at ease.
Their swordsmanship was in perfect harmony. Sometimes they attacked together, sometimes they divided their forces, forcing the demon monks to retreat step by step.
Although the demon monks were strong, they were soon defeated by the joint efforts of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader gritted his teeth, activated a teleportation talisman, and fled with the remaining few people.
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not pursue them. Their eyes fell on the ancient map.
After some discussion, the two decided to go to the secret realm where the Anti-Heaven Pearl was located, in order to prevent the demons from seizing the Anti-Heaven Pearl, and also to prevent the artifact from falling into the hands of others and causing greater disasters.
In the secret realm, there were many traps and monsters were rampant.
With their superb skills and tacit cooperation, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong finally came to the hiding place of the Heaven-Defying Pearl - a shining altar.
The Heaven-Defying Pearl was suspended in the center of the altar, emitting a soft and mysterious light, as if it contained endless power.
However, at this moment, a cold breath surged from under the altar. It was the leader of the Demonic Path who had escaped before. He actually found this place.
"Hmph, you came just in time, so I don't have to look for you again!" The leader of the Demonic Path sneered, and the demonic energy rolled around him. He was obviously ready for a decisive battle.
Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong smiled at each other, their eyes full of determination.
They knew that this battle was not only to stop the Demonic Path, but also to protect the peace and tranquility of this continent.
"Linglong, let's go!" Gu Jiuchen gave an order, and the two launched an attack at the same time.
The emerald green long sword and an ancient long sword complemented each other, and the sword light was like a dragon, cutting through the sky and heading straight for the leader of the Demonic Path.
The demon leader was unwilling to be outdone, and his demonic energy condensed into a shield, taking the attack of the two.
But then, he felt unprecedented pressure, and the two long swords seemed to have spirituality, constantly looking for his flaws.
"Impossible! How can these ordinary soldiers hurt me!" The demon leader roared, but what answered him was an even more fierce attack.
Finally, under the joint efforts of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, the demon leader was defeated, seriously injured, and fell to the ground.
Under the impact of this powerful spiritual power, the Anti-Heaven Pearl slowly fell into Gu Jiuchen's hands.
