Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 699: Encounter Across Time and Space

While using the power of "Qiankun" to avoid Jia Huan's sharp sword light, Gu Xu focused his attention on the star plate in his hand.

He traveled through time and space three times in total.

Two trips to the past and one trip to the future.

During his two trips to the past, although on the surface he seemed to be drifting randomly in time and space, in fact, they were all carefully planned by Ziwei.

Gu Xu now understands that the star chart is the rudder in the turbulence of time and space.

Ziwei was in charge of the star map and first sent him to Zhao Yan in his previous life, and then guided him to Chi Yangzi in his youth.

Just like this, Gu Xu quietly had a group of allies who fought against Emperor Tianxing together.

As for that trip to the future, Gu Xu has always been a little confused - because in the memory of Emperor Ziwei, there was no relevant arrangement.

But he still didn't believe it was a coincidence.

  If he was not manipulated by someone, how could he appear at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in the late winter and early spring of the third year of Yuanshi among billions of time nodes? Why did the "Emperor of Daxia" foresee his arrival in advance and arrange people to wait for him there?

Today, when he saw this invisible line of cause and effect in the Hunyuan Qi, Gu Xu's mind suddenly became clear and he instantly understood the reason for everything.

"The astrolabe is in my hands now."

"It turned out that it was my present self who sent my past self to Kunlun."

As he thought of this, his mind moved, and the star disk glowed with silver-white starlight. Then, the starlight quickly spread along the line of cause and effect that was about to dissipate, chasing after another Gu Xu who was drifting in time and space.

…………

In the starless and moonless night, the Kunlun Mountains look like a huge dragon, stretching across the horizon.

The steep cliffs look as if they were carved by knives and axes, which makes people feel awe unconsciously.

Li Yun arrived here on the orders of the Emperor of Daxia and had been waiting in the mountains for many days.

It's deserted and lonely here.

Li Yun neither saw His Majesty from two years ago, nor did he see the group of people who built the formation that His Majesty had mentioned.

But Li Yun did not doubt the emperor's decision and continued to wait patiently at the foot of Mount Kunlun.

In his opinion, the current Majesty is a god-like being in the world of the Great Wilderness. He knows everything and his judgment cannot possibly be wrong.

At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a young man in a green shirt seemed to step out from nothingness and appeared more than ten feet in front of Li Yun.

The young man looked up and around, as if examining his surroundings.

When Li Yun saw that the young man in blue had the same face as the current emperor, he guessed that he was the "himself two years ago" that the emperor mentioned.

He immediately hurried forward and saluted respectfully: "Holy——"

The word "Your Majesty" was about to come out of his mouth, but he immediately swallowed it back.

Then he quickly changed his words and said, "Sir, you are finally here."

The young man was silent for a moment, frowned slightly and asked, "What year is it now?"

"Now it is the third year of Yuanshi." Li Yun nodded in response.

"What is the relationship between this Yuanshi Emperor and Emperor Tianxing? Is he a descendant of Emperor Tianxing?"

Hearing what His Majesty said two years ago and seeing his serious expression, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little funny.

He couldn't help but think in his heart: Your Majesty, you probably never thought at that time that Emperor Tianxing would eventually die in your hands, and the Da Qi Dynasty would perish because of you!

But thinking of the serious matter that His Majesty had entrusted to him, Li Yun still forced himself to hold back his laughter and stated the facts in a serious manner: "No, sir, the current emperor is a wise and benevolent monarch who killed the tyrant Emperor Tianxing and restored peace to the world."

When he finished speaking, the young man in green shirt showed obvious astonishment on his face. "Then the Great Qi Dynasty should also be destroyed, right?"

"That's right, sir. This is the Great Xia Dynasty."

It was you who founded the Great Xia Dynasty.

Li Yun quietly added in his heart.

Then he took out a secret letter written by the emperor himself, handed it to the young man in front of him, and told him: "The current emperor wants you to help destroy a formation."

He saw the young man open the envelope, stare at the words in the letter and ponder for a moment, then take out a copper coin and use divination to confirm the authenticity of the contents of the letter.

"Your Majesty is such a cautious person!" Li Yun sighed silently in his heart.

Then, the young man asked a few more questions, and Li Yun answered them truthfully one by one.

"Lead the way for me!"

"I am willing to serve you!"

…………

Li Yun led the young man in blue shirt and followed the route indicated by the emperor, quickly shuttling through the rugged mountain roads with brisk steps.

They soon arrived at a relatively flat open space.

In Li Yun's vision, this place was deserted and desolate, no different from the thousands of miles of uninhabited area near Kunlun Mountain.

There is no trace of the "formation" that Your Majesty mentioned.

However, after the young man behind him arrived here, the air in front was like a curtain, which was quietly lifted by an invisible hand, exposing the truth beneath the curtain.

More than a dozen practitioners and a large number of laborers appeared before them, busy carrying huge stones carved with intricate patterns here.

Li Yun sensed some abnormal fluctuations in these people. According to the information that His Majesty had passed on to him a few days ago, he learned that these people had been controlled by the slavery array and were working for the "divine generals" under Taishang Haotian.

"We have to find a way to disperse the crowd here first, especially those ordinary people who have no cultivation." At this moment, the young man in green shirt next to him looked worried and suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Li Yun was once again deeply moved and felt even more respect for His Majesty.

He clearly remembered that at that time, His Majesty was charged with treason and was being wanted by the court of Da Qi.

But even in such a precarious situation, he still cares about the lives of ordinary people, which is very different from those practitioners who regard mortals as ants.

No wonder after he ascended the throne, he always considered the people's livelihood and became a holy monarch who was highly loved by the common people of the Great Wilderness.

"Your Excellency, don't worry. I have already prepared for this matter."

Li Yun almost called himself "minister", but he reacted quickly and changed his words to "I".

Then he flew up into the air on his flying sword, took out the scroll that His Majesty had given him, and shouted to everyone, "The Imperial Edict has arrived!"

Seeing his actions, a practitioner came forward and began to question him.

However, as Li Yun unfolded the scroll, a red beam of light shot up into the sky and pierced the clouds. As the light beam rose, the figure of a giant dragon gradually appeared in the air.

Its majestic body circled and danced in the sky, and its dragon scales shone with dazzling light.

The original doubts disappeared in an instant.

The practitioners around were deeply shocked by this scene, and they all stared up in amazement at the giant dragon that seemed to be about to break through the sky.

Although Li Yun tried hard to remain calm on the outside, his heart was in turmoil.

When the giant dragon's gaze fell on him, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he met the emperor alone in the imperial study a few days ago - His Majesty's aura was so majestic without being angry that people dared not look directly at him.
