Chapter Five A Madman

  Half a time later, Gu Yun let out a long sigh, opened his eyes, and the pain of several hours was unbearable, but he finally managed to get through it.

  Stand up, feeling the seemingly endless power inside your body. As the saying goes, now there is a thought of going to find that bear and fight it. The third turn's power is twice that of the second turn.

  Now he believes that even if that white bear transforms, its power may not be stronger than his, and besides, his body is also more tenacious.

  Of course, he didn't know exactly how strong he had become, but he felt that he shouldn't be injured by the giant bear after transformation now.

  To test his own strength, Gyun punched the ground beneath his feet with all his might.

  All I heard was a loud rumbling sound, and suddenly a burst of flying sand and rocks. By the time the dust had settled, where Gu Yun had been standing was now a large pit over one zhang wide and half a meter deep, with Gu Yun now at its center.

  Looking at the scene caused by his own punch with all his might, Gyun felt very excited, as if he had already seen himself subduing the white bear.

  It was just that he hadn't been excited for long when a huge palm formed by fiery magma reached out to grab him, and Gu Yun didn't even have time to react before being grasped in the palm of that fiery hand.

  He used all his strength but couldn't budge the giant palm by a single inch, Gu Yun's eyes were filled with shock and horror, never expecting such a powerful existence to be in this place.

  A huge palm grasped the ancient cloud and quickly fell into the lava lake at the bottom of the cave.

  Ancient words echoed in his heart, wave after wave of bitterness arose, never thinking that after all the hardships and struggles to finally make it to today, he would unexpectedly meet his demise in this molten lava.

  Although he was very confident in himself, he would never believe that his current body could withstand the high temperature of the underground magma. If he fell into it at that time, he would definitely be left with no bones, which really made him unwilling to accept.

  At the moment he fell into the magma, Gu Yun seemed to see two figures flying towards him quickly. At that moment, he had already resigned himself and closed his eyes, waiting for the moment when his body would be burned to ashes. However, after a long time, he did not feel any scorching sensation on his body.

  Eyes wide open, Gu Yun saw an unbelievable scene - he was being grasped by that huge hand and moving through the magma, yet the surrounding magma couldn't invade his body within a three-foot radius, and even the terrifying high temperature felt nonexistent.

  It wasn't until then that Gu Yun realized that the large hand made of magma that was holding him didn't transmit any temperature to his body. What kind of existence was it, and why did it pull him down? Gu Yun felt very curious.

  Above the magma, in the void, stood two people, who were none other than Gu Yun's parents. Their faces were also filled with shock and horror, and they were the two figures that Gu Yun had seen falling into the magma at that instant.

  And they were also here when Gu Yun first advanced, hiding in a dark corner to watch Gu Yun, in case something unexpected happened during his advancement, so that they could rescue him in time.

  When they saw Gu Yun being promoted successfully, the two of them also let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Looking at Gu Yun's excited appearance, they felt very happy. What can make parents happier than seeing their own child achieve success?

  So when they saw the huge palm reaching for Gǔ Yún, they also rushed towards Gǔ Yún at full speed. What they didn't expect was that even with their two speeds combined, the huge palm still managed to grab Gǔ Yún away.

  The two immediately launched an attack, wanting to destroy the giant hand, but at that moment they suddenly found that all their spiritual power was sealed.

  Of course, it was only sealed for a moment before being broken through by the two of them, but at that time, Gu Yun had already fallen into the magma.

  The two of them wanted to continue chasing, but found themselves blocked by a surge of energy. No matter how hard they tried to charge forward, they couldn't get past it.

  At the same time, a voice suddenly appeared in both of their minds: "Two little guys, don't bother chasing anymore. With your current cultivation level, even if you catch up, you won't be able to do anything to me. Don't worry, I won't hurt this little kid."

  Haha, after all these years, I finally get to see you again!

  The two of them had to stop, they looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They could communicate with each other through divine thoughts, but neither of them could sense the other's location even a little bit. What kind of cultivation was this?

  It's worth noting that the cultivation of these two is already among the top few in their realm, and now there are only two or three people who can match this level.

  But now it's just in this one place in the mortal realm that such an existence is, and the two of them don't even know where each other are, yet they're still defeated like this without any power to fight back.

  This made both of them suspect whether they were dreaming or not.

  "It seems that the mortal world is not as simple as we thought, there must be many more powerful people hidden here, even at the level of Lao Da." After a gaze, Gu Feng sighed.

  "Yes, it seems our mission needs to be completed quickly, and then we can go back and tell the boss about this matter." Ice Dance also shook her head.

  "Then let's go now, and let Xiao Yun fend for himself. I think the senior just now didn't have any intention of harming him, maybe he can even gain some benefits from this senior."

  When Bingwu spoke, Gu Feng also opened his mouth.

  "Ah, we're leaving just like that? Not waiting for Xiao Yun to come out? What if something unexpected happens?" Bingwu said with some concern after hearing Gu Feng's words.

  "Even if we are here now, if that senior wants to do something to Xiaoyun, can we stop him?"

  "What if Little Cloud comes back and can't find us?"

  "We'll go back and leave a letter for him, and just leave the things we want to give him at home. I'm so anxious to get back now and tell the boss about the situation here."

  "Alright, let's go back and prepare the things we need to leave for Xiao Yun, then complete our task. It's really unexpected, I didn't think there would be such a master in the mortal realm, we were too careless this time."

  "That's right, this is also a good thing for us. If these masters join us, it should be much easier to deal with those bastards later on."

  And so the two of them left like this.

  But Gu Yun still didn't know that his parents had left, and he was now rapidly falling down in the magma.

  About a moment later, his feet finally touched the ground, and where he was turned out to be under the lava, with the lava above apparently blocked by a layer of boundary, which only rolled and flowed on the surface more than ten feet above this ground, looking a bit eerie.

  Before he could even take in his surroundings, a hoarse voice sounded in his ear, "A person, it's really a person. After all these years, I've finally seen another human being."

  At the same time as he heard this voice, he found that his own hand had been caught, and the one who caught his hand was a withered corpse standing next to him. No, it should be said that it was like a withered corpse, because the sound just now also came from his mouth.

  A corpse-like person grasped his hand, and a pair of withered claws pinched all over his body, while the mouth kept making that broken bell-like sound "Tsk tsk, look at this skin, so elastic, so smooth, these muscles, so solid".

  Indeed, Gu Yun's body had been tempered for many years and was indeed as dry as the mummy-like person had said.

  It was just that being pinched all over by someone who looked like a corpse made Gu Yun feel extremely awkward. He wanted to escape the devil's clutches, but found it very difficult to move even a little finger, let alone open his mouth to speak, not to mention resist.

  After feeling up Gu Yun's whole body, the desiccated corpse seemed to have had enough. He stood in front of Gu Yun, his two deep-set eye sockets containing two white-and-black eyeballs that rolled around restlessly as he continued to scan Gu Yun's body.

  At this time, Gu Yun found that his body had returned to normal. He hastily retreated a few steps and kept a certain distance from the monster. Then, Gu Yun asked: "What are you? Why did you bring me here?"

  Upon hearing Gu Yun's words, the desiccated corpse let out a sly smile "I'm not just anything, I'm an immortal, you know? As for why I brought you down here... Hehe, it's been too long since I've seen a human. I just wanted to find someone to chat with."

  After he finished speaking, his body quickly swelled up, and in the blink of an eye, the dry corpse from earlier transformed into a sly-looking man in his thirties. Of course, that was just how it looked; heaven knows how many years this guy had actually lived.

  "Moreover, I found that you little doll are quite good, actually practicing the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique this self-torturing transformation skill, at such a young age and already cultivating to the third turn, the law has emerged, very promising ah, hahaha".

  The middle-aged man burst out laughing after he finished speaking, as if he had encountered something very delightful.

  Gǔ Yún heard his words and cursed in her heart, "Crazy guy, do you think I want to cultivate this abnormal technique? It's all because I was forced to."

  "Dolls, it's not right to speak ill of others behind their backs," although Gu Yun Gang just thought so, the middle-aged man in front of him immediately spoke up.

  He said this casually, but Gu Yun was startled, how did he know what she was thinking in her heart.

  "Haha, little kid, your cultivation is too low. If I want to, I can tell you whether you came out headfirst or feet first when you were born, and even what time you wet the bed."

  Gu Yun was startled again, and only now did he realize how big the gap was between himself and those true masters. It turned out that this crazy person he was dealing with now was still an existence he could only look up to, and in his presence, he might not even be as good as a single ant, which made him somewhat disheartened.

  But one day I will also reach this realm, just for a moment, Gu Yun recovered from the blow just now.

  "Don't be sad, little doll. With your entire body's spiritual veins, plus your rare physique and this mindset of yours, you'll soon reach my level, or even surpass my existence."

  Seeing Gu Yun come out of his gloom so quickly, the middle-aged man who was like a madman seemed to feel very relieved.

  "Ah, thank you for your guidance, elder. May I ask your esteemed name?"

  It is said that now people have a lot of respect for this madman-like person, after all, his strength is evident.

  "My old name, I've even forgotten it myself. Back in the day, in the immortal realm, everyone called me the thieving lunatic. From the Jade Emperor on down to newly ascended immortals, there were hardly any who hadn't been stolen from by me."

  Back in the day, whenever anyone in the immortal realm heard the three words "thieving lunatic", everyone would shudder. Hahaha... How's that, little kid? The old man still has some prestige, so from now on, you can call me Thieving Lunatic too.

  When Gu Yun asked his name, the middle-aged man suddenly came to life and told Gu Yun about his glorious years in the immortal world.

  Recommendation is motivation, collection is confidence, I want them all, give me what you can.
