Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 647 Above the Nine Realms

Shi Xiaohan hugged Gu Xu tightly, rubbed his head against his chest for a while, and then ran to the nearby dining hall to eat.

Although she had just enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the Shi family mansion.

  But with her now awakening demon fairy bloodline, how could the dozen or so dishes on that small table possibly satisfy her growing appetite?

She felt that she had to eat a few more buckets of rice and a few pounds of meat to barely fill her stomach.

Gu Xu watched her back until she disappeared into the shade of the trees.

Then he waved his hand gently, signaling eunuch Han Shunxi to come forward.

"What does Your Majesty want?" Han Shunxi bowed and asked respectfully.

"Xiao Han's uncle Shi Shuo is really stupid and greedy," Gu Xu said calmly, "He used to live a life of luxury, but now that I have confiscated his family property, his life has become uncomfortable, and he has even started to think of lending at high interest rates and annexing nearby farmland.

"Xiao Han went back to visit his family today. He was worried that his behavior would be discovered by me and he would be punished, so he deliberately wore ragged clothes and tried to please Xiao Han, as if he thought that as long as he could please Xiao Han, I would let him go."

"Then how does Your Majesty plan to punish him?" Han Shunxi asked again.

"Go tell Xiao Wanjun about this. She knows how to deal with it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Han Shunxi left, Gu Xu sighed silently that recruiting Xiao Wanjun, a princess of the previous dynasty, to assist in handling government affairs was one of the wisest decisions he had made recently. This move freed him from the toil of paperwork to a great extent.

Leave it to the princess.

It's okay...

Well, since ascending the throne, Gu Xu has hardly enjoyed any "free" time.

…………

In this spring without the rising sun, the entire Great Xia Dynasty is still running in an orderly manner under the leadership of Gu Xu.

After Silver Dragon Jiang Zhaoyue recovered from her injury, Gu Xu invited her to go to the East China Sea Guixu several times and successfully obtained more "Hunyuan Qi".

They used the "secret" authority that Emperor Ye gave to Jiang Zhaoyue as a cover, perfectly avoiding everyone's sight and not alerting the Void Whales that had been imprinted with the spiritual imprint of Tai Shang Haotian.

However, although Gu Xu has tried to use the power of "heaven's will" to improve Jiang Zhaoyue's luck, her bad luck still exists and inevitably brings some troubles to their journey.

For example, when they entered the void together for the first time, they encountered a time and space dislocation and were instantly teleported to a distant and unfamiliar place by a chaotic and violent force.

If Gu Xu had not mastered the "star disk" that could locate and navigate in the void, and Jiang Zhaoyue had not possessed the "real" authority to see through falsehoods and illusions, they would probably have lost their way long ago and would never be able to return.

"Speaking of which, you are so unlucky, it's as if you were targeted by the heavens. How did you manage to live to this day without any trouble?"

When they returned to Changchun Garden from Guixu together for the fifth time, Gu Xu looked at the silver dragon beside him and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know either," Silver Dragon shook his head while soaking in the lake. "I'm always tortured by bad luck, but in the end I can always save my life, either because my sister suddenly saves me, or I suddenly find a way to escape from a desperate situation, like more than three hundred years ago..."

As soon as the topic of luck was brought up, she seemed to open up and started complaining to Gu Xu incessantly.

Gu Xu sighed softly, feeling that she was just like the protagonist of a novel who had offended the author—her fate was full of misfortunes, but she couldn't die.

"How about I help you see if there is something wrong with the trajectory of your destiny?" he asked.

As the holder of the authority of "heaven's will", he inherited Ziwei Emperor's profound understanding of the way of astrology. When it comes to understanding destiny, looking at the upper and lower worlds, no one can compare with him except Taishang Haotian who has mastered the way of "longevity and early death".

Jiang Zhaoyue narrowed her purple eyes slightly and stared at him with some vigilance.

  This guy Ziwei took the initiative to offer her benefits. Does he have some bad intentions towards her again?

"Given your style, I'm afraid you won't help me for free, right?"

"Indeed not," Gu Xu saw that she was wary of him, and answered without hesitation, "I still need you to provide more information about the Lingxiao Realm, and accompany me to the East Sea Guixu a few more times to help me move the 'Primordial Qi'.

"Then, as your sister said, you have to be my strong partner and protect me as I cultivate to the ninth level, until I can defeat Taishang Haotian."

"that's it?"

"Also, as we agreed before, help me secretly transport a group of people to the Lingxiao Realm."

"Nothing else?"

"temporarily unavailable."

Am I really just a tool dragon in his eyes?

Jiang Zhaoyue looked at him with mixed feelings.

Her dragon tail swung violently, and with a "snap" sound, it hit the water surface heavily, instantly startling thousands of piles of snow, and the lake surface was surging like thousands of horses galloping. The "real" authority told her that every word Gu Xu said was true.

He really had no other thoughts about her except cooperation.

According to common sense, it should be a blessing for her not to be coveted by a playboy like Emperor Ziwei.

However, as a young genius with noble blood and outstanding talent, Jiang Zhaoyue has a beautiful appearance that makes him look shy and graceful, and he has many admirers in the Lingxiao world.

Amidst countless flattery and praise, she had already become arrogant and looked down upon others.

At the same time, although Emperor Ziwei has a bad reputation in the Lingxiao world due to his too many romantic affairs, the Lingxiao world generally agrees on one point: any woman who is favored by Ziwei must be a top-notch beauty, unless she is like the King of Yu Shi who relies on seduction to gain popularity.

The reason why the Dragon Night Queen's beauty is known throughout the world is inseparable from the Ziwei Emperor's tireless pursuit over the years.

To a certain extent, over the years, the vision of Emperor Ziwei has become the standard for the Lingxiao Realm to judge whether a woman is a stunning beauty.

But now, Jiang Zhaoyue is on guard against Ziwei every day.

But Emperor Ziwei said that he had no interest in her at all.

This suddenly made her feel a little hurt in her self-esteem.

Of course, Jiang Zhaoyue would not transform into human form in front of him just because she was angry and show her appearance to this notorious playboy.

"Okay, I promise you," she said.

"Give me your hand." Gu Xu ordered.

Jiang Zhaoyue swam to the shore of the lake and stretched out a huge dragon claw towards him. The claw was bigger than his entire body.

Gu Xu also raised his hand, and his palm gently touched one of her fingers.

Then, his eyes suddenly turned indigo, like the vast starry sky, deep and mysterious.

His mind then drifted towards the distant river of destiny, swimming upstream in that endless river.

This river has numerous tributaries.

He read about the ups and downs of Silver Dragon's past fate and kept groping forward.

Unconsciously, he had passed through layers of chaotic fog.

Everything around me was gradually losing its color, substance, appearance, and even its skeleton...

A series of kaleidoscopic illusions suddenly appeared before his eyes, but these illusions, like a whirlpool, quickly dissolved into indescribable turbidity and darkness.

A frantic amount of information flooded into his mind.

Even though he possesses the authority of "wisdom", he can instantly comprehend the obscure principles of heaven and earth.

But this information still made him feel dizzy, as if it was going to burst his head and completely shatter his sanity.

"What kind of existence did this silver dragon provoke?" He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Is there a higher level of power above the ninth level?"

A strong urge emerged in his letter: "If I can hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening", and he wanted to keep moving forward and exploring.

It was as if a voice from the dark was telling him that as long as he could see everything here clearly, he would be able to see the truth and become an immortal right away.

But reason told him that his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Then, his body went limp and he fell heavily to the ground powerlessly, in a trance and with his mind blurred.

This was the most embarrassing moment he had ever had since defeating Emperor Tianxing.

His thoughts were intertwined like a tangled mess, or like millions of vibrating strings, interweaving into a grand, noisy, chaotic yet orderly piece of music.

Somehow, countless pieces of information merged into three words and were imprinted deep in his mind.

The text is simple yet complex, familiar yet strange.

"Formless Heaven".
