Chapter 523: There are many things to consider.
Actually, Gu Heng felt that whether or not to protect the desolate city was not something he needed to worry about.
Just take the cats I have, they are exceptionally amazing!
Even if things don't go well, Little White, this dragon pet, must have some fighting skills. The system couldn't possibly send him a weakling who only knows how to do housework and doesn't know how to fight. Maybe, despite his small size, he's already quite capable of fighting!
In other words.
Gu Heng felt that he didn't need to take any action at all.
With Su Jinxi and the White Dragon by his side, even if he absolutely had to go into battle himself, with the support of the system's treasures, he wouldn't be weak. If there's anything else that makes his heart itch with unease...
However, the term "Nascent Soul cultivator" still sounds rather shabby and impoverished.
Although it sounds much better than being a mortal who can't even kill a chicken, everyone should have the ambition to improve. How can he compare himself to someone lower instead of someone higher? He has a long life ahead of him, and the title of "Nascent Soul cultivator" is simply not enough for him.
Gu Heng still remembered the old book he had brought out from the Ancient Secret Palace. It clearly recorded the mountains, rivers, geography, customs and culture of the "Immortal Realm" and the "Demon Realm", and even a higher-level "cultivation system".
At that time, he had the idea of going to see other worlds, but it was just a thought. After all, if he didn't have enough strength, he would definitely die if he wanted to go to another world.
Now we might have the chance to see the scenery of other worlds.
Even though he was still a tiny bit away from this small goal, Gu Heng didn't intend to give up. If he were to stay in the Xuan Tian Realm for the rest of his life and never move around, then having a little less ambition wouldn't be a big deal.
But now the world is clearly about to change drastically!
The Xuan Tian Realm seems to have been regarded as the battlefield where two worlds clashed, with the opposing sides being the "Little Xuan Tian Realm" and the "Demon Realm".
From that ancient book, Gu Heng also learned about some ancient events, such as the hostility between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm, the Great War of the Five Realms in the primordial era, and so on...
The Demon Realm—just hearing that name tells you it's not to be trifled with.
If a series of battles were to take place in the Xuan Tian Realm, Gu Heng would actually agree with what the old man Yin Rufeng said.
The desolate city might not cause any trouble, but he wasn't going to stay there forever. He was only staying here temporarily, just like when he moved from Qingmu City to Yunling City, and then from Yunling City to here.
If I'm not strong enough, won't I be facing danger at every turn as I travel the world?
Gu Heng was quite envious of Yin Rufeng.
Living in this desolate, ancient wilderness every day, one only needs to manage household affairs and paint in their spare time, and occasionally worry about things that might not happen. But for a tragic figure like him with a groove system, there are many more things to consider.
"Lao Yin!"
"Something happened!"
Another urgent voice came from outside the courtyard.
Yin Rufeng looked up and found that it was the patriarch of the Si family in Huangcheng, the "Old Man of the Book" Si Chen!
Back then, several powerful families joined forces to discuss leaving the "Little Mystic Realm," and the Si family was one of them.
The Yin and Si families have always had a good relationship, but they also often compete in terms of refined and Confucian culture, because the Yin family has always pursued the Dao through painting, while the Si family pursues the Dao through calligraphy! The two paths of calligraphy and painting can sometimes overlap.
For example, a masterpiece by a master painter already possesses a profound and subtle Daoist charm. However, if a master who is equally skilled in calligraphy and whose pursuit of the Great Dao is very close could add a line or two of poetry to the painting...
The two styles of calligraphy and painting blend together.
Thus, what has been created is more than just art!
Therefore, it is reasonable for the Yin family and the Si family to come together. No one is trying to curry favor with the other. Moreover, of the clan elders and fellows of the several families who fled together, only Yin Rufeng and Si Chen have survived to this day.
Their talent is quite good, and they are lucky enough to live a long enough life.
Life is quite poignant.
"Hey, Lao Si, you finally decided to come out for some fresh air?" He was somewhat surprised, not because he was surprised that Si Chen had come here, but because Si Chen had finally come out of seclusion!
Si Chen's cultivation level is the same as before, also at the peak of the last stage of the "Three Stages of True Immortal" - the Yuan Immortal stage!
only.
Compared to Si Chen, Yin Rufeng felt that his path seemed to be nearing its end.
Although Si Chen had not been able to completely break through to the Immortal Lord level, he had become quite proficient in the process of seclusion and enlightenment. Every time he came out of seclusion, Yin Rufeng could feel that Si Chen's Dao had become more and more refined and profound.
They've already surpassed him.
Both being at the peak of the Yuan Immortal realm, Yin Rufeng felt that he might soon be no match for Si Chen.
Moreover, the affairs of the desolate city should have been managed jointly by the two strongest individuals—the "Two Elders of Calligraphy and Painting." However, the "Elder of Calligraphy" was engrossed in seclusion, leaving the "Elder of Painting" to shoulder the burden. Si Chen only needed to go into seclusion, while Yin Rufeng had many more things to consider.
Therefore, Yin Rufeng had some reservations about this.
"..."
Gu Heng also began to scrutinize the old man, who looked even more otherworldly and dignified.
Well, it must be said that he is indeed a scholar of calligraphy. His robe is very white and clean, but Gu Heng always felt that there was an ink smell on him that he could not wash off, as if he had spent his whole life immersed in brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
He was described as having an otherworldly air about him, but he was actually just thin. However, as the patriarch of another major family in this desolate city, Gu Heng certainly had to think of a suitable word to praise him, didn't he?
Gu Heng had heard about it from Yin Xueling.
There are several prominent families that participated in the construction of the desolate city. Among them, the most senior and longest-lived are the patriarchs of the Yin and Si families.
In other words, in this desolate city, Si Chen, like Yin Rufeng, is a veteran figure.
Si Chen likes calligraphy, and Yin Rufeng likes painting. These two old men probably have a lot in common when they discuss refined matters in private.
"Old Yin, did you hear those words just now?"
"The Immortal Realm has actually stopped hiding from the world; this is a huge problem!"
Si Chen's expression was quite unpleasant. He had rushed over in a hurry because of the message that the cruel and tyrannical "Immortal Venerable" Gu Yun had sent to the entire Xuan Tian Realm not long ago.
In this desolate city, almost everyone has a grudge against the Void Immortal Realm, especially against the Ancient Meteor.
When the Si family was being hunted down, they suffered heavy losses. Si Chen's brothers, sisters, and even cousins were almost all killed or injured!
This is why Si Chen always has an inescapable obsession with improving his strength, and he goes into seclusion exceptionally frequently.
Although Si Chen knew this was just wishful thinking, he couldn't help but imagine that impossible future, a future where he could personally kill his enemies.
However, when his enemy's words actually reached his ears...
Si Chen panicked.
We have to panic.
