Chapter 1136 5-Day Period
Upon hearing Gu Xiu's words, Xue Wuyai and the other two, who had just been full of excitement, suddenly felt as if someone had grabbed them by the throat.
open……
What a joke.
Should we go in?
There are easily over a hundred supreme beings inside, and countless other monstrous demons also exist.
Although they are considered geniuses in the vast universe and their strength is at the Refinement of Void realm, if they went there with their cultivation level, they would probably be crushed to death by a single wave.
"Gu Xiu can't go!"
"I was wondering why you two old foxes went through all that trouble. It turns out you wanted my husband to go to such a dangerous place. You both know how dangerous it is there, yet you still want him to take the risk?"
Before the group of prodigies and Gu Xiu could refute, Mu Nange and Chu Xiangling had already taken action to protect Gu Xiu, their hands forming hand seals, ready to fight to the death at any moment.
They refused on Gu Xiu's behalf without hesitation.
They naturally knew that the final outcome of the crisis in the Sea of Sin would likely be the destruction of Haoyu, and many people would die, but at least they could live a little longer. However, they wanted to push Gu Xiu out and send him into a dangerous place like the Sea of Sin to carry out a dangerous mission.
They won't allow it!
Regardless of whether Gu Xiu is indispensable, even if he had a chance, they wouldn't want him to risk his life. The emergence of the Three Enclosures Sea of Calamity might indeed cause widespread devastation in the world, but if the two of them joined forces, they wouldn't necessarily die. At least, risking their lives could leave some chance for Gu Xiu to survive.
Now go in.
What's the difference between that and sending someone to their death?
"Don't be hasty, we're not sending them to their deaths." Seeing the two female supreme beings instantly assume a fighting stance, ready to fight at any moment, Li Chengxuan couldn't help but smile wryly, then said to Gu Xiu:
You're only half right.
"Half?" Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow.
“We do intend to send you few into the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin ahead of schedule, but not to have you find a way to destroy it. We just want you to help find an opportunity to open a passage and discover more clues. We will take care of it when the time comes.”
"As for the means to actually unleash the destruction of the Sea of Sin, even if you wanted to, you couldn't. It's beyond your strength. So, just be careful to hide and keep a low profile, and you won't be in too much danger."
Chu Xiangling wasn't buying it: "That sounds nice, but we still have to go in. Didn't you say before that as long as we ascend to immortality and undergo tribulation, the immortal gate will open wide? If that's the case, why bother making them go in and open some passage?"
"Ascension to immortality will indeed eventually lead to the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin. However, if one enters the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin in this way, it will inevitably attract countless attention. Moreover, one's aura will be locked by the beings in the Sea of Sin in an instant. It will be virtually impossible to find the means to destroy the Sea of Sin in secret and activate it."
This statement surprised everyone; they hadn't expected such a viewpoint.
Mu Nange reacted quickly, looking at the Moon Gazing Supreme with a hint of scrutiny and suspicion in her eyes. Li Chengxuan also looked over, implying that he needed help explaining. Faced with the gazes of the two, the Moon Gazing Supreme felt somewhat helpless, but ultimately nodded:
"He is telling the truth. From the moment one successfully transcends the tribulation and enters the immortal realm, one will be marked by the Three Enclosures of Sinful Sea, which will greatly affect one's cultivation. Furthermore, the cultivation aura of the Supreme Beings outside is easily detected. If a Supreme Being were to enter quietly, they would be discovered and hunted down very quickly, and it would be impossible to find any clues in a short period of time."
“Look, it’s not that we’re unwilling to go ourselves, nor are we sending them to their deaths.” Li Chengxuan nodded quickly. “Besides, we’ve investigated. The forces within the Three Realms Sea are complex and there’s constant warfare. Their cultivation levels won’t be too low to protect themselves, nor will they be too high to attract attention. As long as they’re careful, there won’t be any danger.”
"That won't do either!" Mu Nange replied curtly, her attitude resolute.
Li Chengxuan was quite helpless at this scene, while Gu Xiu, who had been silent all along, asked at this moment, "When do we set off?"
"Husband, you..." Chu Xiangling was anxious and wanted to speak up to persuade him.
Gu Xiu shook his head and looked at Li Chengxuan.
"Ten days later!"
Li Chengxuan replied immediately, and seeing Gu Xiu frown, he added, "The seal on the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin cannot be maintained for too long, at most half a year, or even only three months. So you must set off in ten days at the latest. If it is delayed any longer, I'm afraid there won't be much time left for you."
"Ten days is too long." Unexpectedly, Gu Xiu shook his head: "Five days, I guess."
"This..." Li Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the old sword saint, who nodded in response:
"We'll set off in five days."
Seeing this, Chu Xiangling wanted to say something, but Mu Nange stopped her. Turning her head, she saw Mu Nange shaking his head at her. Helpless, Chu Xiangling could only glare fiercely at the old sword saint and Li Chengxuan without saying a word.
Next, Li Chengxuan began to persuade others.
There was really no need for persuasion. Of the Sword Saint's five disciples, four besides Jiang Jian were going to depart, which was clearly a decision that had been made long ago. As the Northern General of the Tian Ce Prefecture, Ye Wentian, given his background and his habits, would not back down this time.
The only ones who hesitated were Xue Wuyai, Li Muchen, and Fairy Xuanyin.
Although they were all renowned experts on the Heavenly Ranking, they knew the danger of this mission. A slight mistake could lead to their death, so they hesitated for a moment.
Li Chengxuan wasn't in a hurry. He simply told them that they would set off in five days. If they had anything to take care of, they should go as soon as possible. If they had made up their minds, they should come to Tianyuan Sword Sect to meet up in five days.
After explaining everything, everyone dispersed, but their expressions were all solemn as they left.
"Husband, why did you agree to such a request? It's not worth risking your life in such a dangerous place as the Three Realms Sea of Sin." Just after leaving the main hall of the Heavenly Abyss Sword Sect, Chu Xiangling caught up with Gu Xiu, full of worry and intending to persuade him.
“When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Even if we escape this time, we will still be unable to avoid it when the Three Enclosures of Calamity are truly born. Since that’s the case, we must do something.”
"But……"
Chu Xiangling wanted to say more, but Mu Nange stopped her. Mu Nange looked sharply at Gu Xiu and said after a moment of silence, "In the next five days, I will teach you all my cultivation techniques, as well as some of my insights into cultivation. You should hurry up and learn them."
Chu Xiangling was surprised, never expecting that Mu Nange wouldn't offer a single word of further persuasion, but instead directly offered his support. Even Gu Xiu was somewhat surprised, but then he smiled:
"It's alright. In terms of cultivation, my techniques are already sufficient."
“Not enough.” Mu Nange said firmly, “You have too few ways to protect yourself.”
Don't say it.
The mighty Netherworld Empress is already a figure that inspires fear, and now that she's so serious, it's truly hard for anyone not to dare to disobey her.
Seeing her like this, Chu Xiangling understood Mu Nange's meaning and nodded: "That's right, husband. In the past few days, we have taught you all our life-saving methods. With your talent, you will definitely be able to learn them. This way, you will have a better chance of survival in the Three Realms Sea of Sin."
They knew they couldn't dissuade Gu Xiu from his idea, so they didn't need to persuade him further, but instead gave him their greatest support.
Just like back in the Northern Demon Realm, they used the name of the Righteous Alliance to minimize Gu Xiu's risks.
Do what they can!
Seeing the two women's earnest and serious gazes, Gu Xiu felt a warmth in his heart and finally nodded:
"it is good!"
……
"These young people nowadays are really amazing. They're only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet they've already won the favor of two great empresses. Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what was wrong with Guan Xuelan back then, letting go of such a good disciple."
Inside the sect's main hall, watching Gu Xiu and the other two leave, Li Chengxuan couldn't help but sigh.
The old swordsman laughed heartily: "You seem a little jealous?"
"With such talent, isn't it normal to be jealous?"
"Asking the heavens is also good."
"Him?" Li Chengxuan curled his lips, his face full of disdain: "Originally, these two lads were similar in temperament, but unexpectedly, Gu Xiu has finally come to his senses, while Wentian is still a blockhead. He doesn't even know to find two female supreme beings for my Tian Ce Mansion to keep things in order."
At this moment, this commander of the Tian Ce Mansion showed no trace of the iron-blooded general's demeanor. Instead, he resembled a worried old father who watched other families have both sons and daughters while his own child remained a bachelor.
"The way of the world is all about fate. Perhaps his fate has not yet arrived, so why are you in such a hurry?" the old sword saint said with a smile.
Li Chengxuan shook his head, muttering things like "this kid is good for nothing."
But speaking.
They both fell silent at the same time.
"Are you really sure?" asked the Moon Gazing Supreme, who had remained silent all along. His single exposed eye was filled with seriousness. "Once they go, they may never come back."
Li and Yin fell silent. After a moment, Li Chengxuan sighed with regret.
"We must leave some seeds behind, if Haoyu really..."
"At least……"
"And these few, do you remember what Haoyu used to look like..."
