Chapter 390 The Choice Between Life and Death

As soon as Ji Ziyue finished speaking, the scene they were in instantly changed.

The originally oppressive atmosphere was replaced by a warm light.

The words "life and death" seemed to have never existed, and were replaced by the scene in front of them - a box emitting soft light stood quietly in front of them.

Gu Sheng looked at the box and his heart moved.

"There must be a holy treasure inside!"

Gu Sheng's eyes were full of excitement.

Ji Ziyue also noticed it.

Obviously, she was full of interest in this sudden treasure chest.

In this way, the two of them almost uncontrollably walked towards the box.

However, just as they were about to reach the box, Gu Sheng felt that the green copper block in his sea of ​​suffering suddenly vibrated.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

This green copper block seemed to always guide him at critical moments.

But it had never vibrated for no reason, and every vibration before seemed to indicate that something unusual was about to happen.

"Wait! There may be something wrong with this box."

Gu Sheng stopped and said to Ji Ziyue.

Ji Ziyue also noticed Gu Sheng's strangeness, "What? Are you scared?"

Gu Sheng did not answer, and felt that the vibration of the green copper block was getting more and more intense.

At the same time, an inexplicable pressure surged into his heart.

From the feeling, this pressure seemed to come from the items in the box.

"There may be something in it that we can't control."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, his eyes worried.

"Uncontrollable?"

Ji Ziyue was a little puzzled.

For a cultivator, if he could encounter such an attractive object in this bronze fairy palace, why wouldn't he open it excitedly?

But now Gu Sheng hesitated, showing his hesitation.

Gu Sheng nodded, "The sudden appearance of this box is too strange, and the abnormal reaction of the green copper block indicates that opening the box may bring unpredictable risks."

After speaking, Gu Sheng pulled Ji Ziyue back

"Let's step back and see what happens first."

Just like that, the two slowly stepped back.

At the same time, the vibration of the green copper block gradually weakened, which made Gu Sheng's heart calm down a little.

After retreating to a certain distance, the scene in front of Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue suddenly changed.

The box that originally emitted a soft light gradually blurred until it disappeared.

Instead, the two options of "life" and "death" that they saw at the beginning were replaced, as if the box they saw before was just an illusion.

Ji Ziyue opened her eyes wide in surprise, "This..." What's going on? Are all the things we just saw illusions? "

Gu Sheng was also confused and tried to recall.

"It seems that this bronze fairy palace is full of unknown mechanisms and traps. The sound of the guzheng we just heard may be a signal triggered by some mechanism, leading us into the "life" cave. "

Ji Ziyue nodded, with lingering fear.

"So, the boxes and treasures we saw are all illusions, used to lure us into being deceived. "

Ji Ziyue looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

"Huh..."

Gu Sheng let out a long breath.

"Yes, if we had opened the box rashly just now, the consequences would be disastrous. "

The two re-examined the two options of "life" and "death" in front of them.

This time Ji Ziyue did not make any suggestions, but waited quietly.

Gu Sheng knew that he could not be fooled by the temptation on the surface.

"Go! Enter the 'death' cave!"

Gu Sheng suggested.

Ji Ziyue nodded in agreement.

The two walked towards the "death" cave again.

After entering the "death" cave, the two were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.

The cave was full of bones, gloomy and terrifying, with no signs of life.

The whole atmosphere was filled with a suffocating silence, as if even time had stopped here.

"This...isn't this too scary?"

Ji Ziyue felt a chill, she subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that the road behind her had disappeared, and there was no trace of retreat.

Her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but blame Gu Sheng: "Look here, why do you have to come in?"

Gu Sheng also had a solemn face, but he didn't mean to retreat.

"We have no way out, we can only move forward. "

Suddenly, a black gas and a white gas gushed out from the depths of the cave.

The two gases attacked the two people like two giant dragons.

The black gas was cold and the white gas was hot. The two intertwined together to form a powerful force.

Gu Sheng saw the yin and yang energies surging like a tide.

Such a shocking scene made his heart tighten.

He knew that this was one of the oldest and most dangerous natural forces in the world.

If you are involved in it, you will be injured at best and your life will be in danger at worst.

However, as a battle-hardened cultivator, Gu Sheng did not mean to retreat.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and then stepped forward, deciding to use his own strength to resist this force.

"What are you doing? Do you want to fight head-on?"

Ji Ziyue asked in surprise.

"Otherwise? We have no way out! "

Gu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Ji Ziyue.

At the same time, Gu Sheng urged the green copper block in the sea of ​​suffering to protect his body.

"Swoosh!"

After getting ready, Gu Sheng rushed forward.

However, when he really came into contact with the Yin and Yang Qi, he deeply realized its power.

The force was like a mountain torrent or like thunder, instantly knocking him away.

"ah……"

Gu Sheng screamed, his body drew an arc, and then hit the cave wall heavily.

The rock on the cave wall instantly cracked due to his impact.

And he was lying on the ground, vomiting blood and moaning in pain.

This scene made Ji Ziyue worried a lot.

If Gu Shengzhen was beaten to death by these two qi, wouldn't he also die here?

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Without hesitation, she immediately stepped forward and hugged Gu Sheng tightly, their bodies tightly connected.

Just then, a miracle happened.

A faint light curtain formed around the two people's bodies, blocking out the yin and yang energy.

This light curtain seemed to be condensed from the vitality and will of the two people, and was full of warmth and strength.

The yin and yang qi cannot penetrate this light curtain and can only hover around the periphery.

Several impacts were unable to harm the two of them.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue hugged each other tightly and could feel each other's heartbeat and breathing.

"So warm."

After a long time, Gu Sheng finally said these two words with a smile.

Ji Ziyue also realized that the two were too close and quickly pushed Gu Sheng away.

"You heartless person made me worry about you so much. It turns out you're fine."

Ji Ziyue frowned slightly, showing her anger.

"I did feel a little uncomfortable just now, but it seems that after you got closer, the yin and yang energy lost the ability to attack us."

Gu Sheng said with a smile and looked up at the swirling yin and yang.

When Ji Ziyue heard Gu Sheng's words, she felt slightly comforted, but then she felt a little complacent, thinking that the yin and yang were afraid of her cultivation and did not dare to approach easily.

She pushed Gu Sheng away fiercely, wanting to face the yin and yang alone and prove her strength.

"Tch! It's not because of my cultivation. I saved your life. You should thank me."

As Ji Ziyue said this, she took a step forward and put some distance between herself and Gu Sheng.

"Uh-huh!"

However, the moment she left Gu Sheng, the Yin and Yang Qi that had been hovering around the outside seemed to have found an opportunity and immediately launched a fierce attack on Ji Ziyue.

Black energy and white energy intertwined into sharp air currents, heading straight towards Ji Ziyue.

Because Ji Ziyue's cultivation had been temporarily restricted by Gu Sheng before, she was unable to exert her due strength.

Facing this sudden attack, she had no power to resist.

"ah!"

"Plop!"

Ji Ziyue screamed and was instantly suppressed by the power of Yin and Yang.

Before Ji Ziyue could react, she flew out and fell heavily to the ground, with blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

When Gu Sheng saw this, he was shocked.

He quickly stepped forward to help Ji Ziyue up, and the two hugged each other tightly again.

At this moment, the magical light curtain appeared again, protecting the two of them within it.

The two energies of yin and yang surrounded the two of them, unable to harm them again.

Gu Sheng suddenly realized that the reason why the yin and yang energy could not harm them was not because of Ji Ziyue's cultivation, but because they were a man and a woman, which happened to be in line with the natural law of yin and yang mutually reinforcing each other.

Under the protection of this power, the Yin and Yang Qi could not cause any harm to them.

"It seems that this Yin and Yang Qi is not afraid of you, but because the two of us are together, it can't hurt us."

Gu Sheng explained softly.

After hearing this, Ji Ziyue showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I don't want to be with you."

Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng.

"Okay."

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Then face them with your belly."

"You...you have no conscience!"

Ji Ziyue said angrily.

"Yes, I just don't have a conscience. Even if I have one, I have a black heart, a lustful heart, and a devilish heart. What do you think..."

Gu Sheng folded his hands in front of his chest, looking evil.

…

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue bickered surrounded by yin and yang, and the atmosphere was relaxed and slightly teasing.

However, just as they were joking with each other, a strange power suddenly surged from under the lake.

"Chichichi!"

When the two were surprised, the Yin and Yang Qi gently lifted them up and slowly rose up.

"What...what's going on?"

Ji Ziyue exclaimed.

She felt as if she was surrounded by an invisible force, and her body floated upward involuntarily.

Gu Sheng was also surprised, but he quickly realized something.

"It seems that the yin and yang are not only protecting us, they are also guiding us."

Gu Sheng maintained a vigilant posture, always paying attention to changes in his surroundings.

After a while, the two of them were lifted to the lake.

As they rise higher, the secrets beneath the lake gradually reveal themselves to them.

It turned out that there was a huge yin and yang pattern hidden under the lake, and they were standing in the center of the pattern.

"This...could this be..."

Before Ji Ziyue finished speaking, the two of them had arrived steadily on the lake.

The light under the lake reflected on their faces, making them look very solemn.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, "It seems that we have found a way to leave the Bronze Immortal Palace. The Yin and Yang Qi, the Yin and Yang pattern under the lake, require the cooperation of both men and women to activate."

Ji Ziyue nodded, "No wonder the great masters of the Eastern Wasteland died here. They all broke in alone. Without the cooperation of both men and women, naturally they cannot trigger this mechanism."

The two of them stood on the lake, their hearts filled with shock.

They did not expect that this seemingly dangerous yin and yang energy would be the key to their escape from the Bronze Immortal Palace.

"It seems that we were able to leave safely this time, thanks to the cooperation between you and me."

Gu Sheng said with a smile, a hint of pride in his tone.

Ji Ziyue snorted coldly.

"Hmph, I won't cooperate with you from now on."

Ji Ziyue said, planning to move towards the lake.

Suddenly, the Yin and Yang Qi suddenly rose into the sky as if they had received some kind of instruction.

With lightning and thunder in the sky, the atmosphere on the entire lake instantly became tense and depressing.

Gu Sheng was shocked by the scene in front of him. Knowing that the situation was not good, he quickly took Ji Ziyue's hand and tried to escape from the lake.

"The situation is not good, leave quickly!"

Gu Shengsheng shouted, suddenly exerted his strength, and pulled Ji Ziyue towards the lake.

"Bang!"

"Ouch! I'm going to..."

Gu Sheng shouted.

It turned out that when they rushed to the lake, they seemed to have hit an invisible wall of air, directly blocking their way.

"What...what's going on?"

Gu Sheng was shocked and reached out to touch it.

"Why does this seem like a barrier?"

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled.

Immediately, he activated his divine power and tried to break the air wall.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a burst of violent output, the wall of air in front of them was indestructible.

No matter how hard Gu Sheng tried, he couldn't break through.

Suddenly, Ji Ziyue took two steps back involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Sheng also took a step back.

"Is this...is this wall of air compressing?"

Ji Ziyue shouted in surprise.

Gu Sheng felt around.

It can be determined that the air wall around the lake is indeed compressing in a ring.

If it continues, the two of them will be compressed in it.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue looked at each other and saw the anxiety in each other's eyes.

"What to do? The air wall is shrinking, and we might be trapped here!"

Ji Ziyue said anxiously.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "It seems that we have only one way to go."

He looked up at the sky, where the yin and yang qi were rising.

"Follow me!"

With that said, Gu Sheng took Ji Ziyue and flew towards the sky.

The figures of the two drew two graceful arcs in the air, flying towards the place where the Yin and Yang Qi rose.

As they flew into the sky, the tightening speed of the air wall was also accelerating, and the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger.

"Look what that is!"

Ji Ziyue, who was being led by Gu Sheng, looked up and was immediately shocked by the sight in front of her.

After the yin and yang qi rose into the sky, they formed a huge vortex.

At the same time, the vortex had strong suction, as if even her soul was attracted by it.

At the center of the vortex is a deep black hole.

It looks endlessly dark, as if it can swallow everything, including time and space. (End of chapter)
