Chapter Eighteen: The Vast and Endless Wilderness

  Just as the Space Gate was about to disappear, Xiao Gu finally arrived, and more importantly, he had actually broken through to the Fourth Layer of Nirvana!

  "Sorry about that, Chang Qing. I was held up because of a breakthrough," Xiao Hu transformed into a shooting star and appeared in front of the three people in the blink of an eye.

  "Congratulations, Xiao brother," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

  "Very well, since you still have some courage, I'll give you a quick and painless death," said Sheng Tian Wang coldly.

  Boom!

  No one expected that Xiao Gu would take action directly, a purple light illuminated the entire sky, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Gu's fist arrived in front of Sheng Tian Wang.

  Bang, Sheng Tianwang hastily welcomed the battle and was punched flying, but after all, it was an existence that sealed the king, and it didn't hurt much, just a little loss under the sudden attack.

  "Alright, I'll make you die miserably," Sheng Tian Wang said nothing more and turned around to enter the Space Gate.

  "Brother Xiao, indeed you are more heroic than others," Gu Changqing was dumbfounded and speechless, but he didn't expect Xiao Gu to be so fierce, so he could only casually find a phrase to gloss over it.

  "Enter this place, if you don't die, between us, a stroke of cancellation," Snow Wu Xiao was like an ice mountain goddess, pure and unadorned, with a noble aura that didn't eat human fireworks. Her figure was slender, her jade body was long and slender, her chest was high and plump, her small arm was round, after finishing this sentence, she turned around and followed in the same way.

  "Xiao brother, it seems that you and Wu Xianzi have a grudge against each other too!" Gu Changqing said with a strange tone.

  "This is an accident, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding," said Xiao Gu, feeling very embarrassed. No matter what, the last time was his fault.

  "Let's go, it's time. Later on, we'll separate and you must be careful," Gu Changqing hastily reminded Xiao Gu, then the two of them entered together. Just as they had just entered, a brief moment later, the space gate began to collapse.

  Space channel is eternal void, here or dark without day, or flowing light and color, not one but sufficient.

  However, this terrifying compressive force instantly made Xiao Gu concentrate, but in an instant, Xiao Gu felt the oppressive force around him disappear, and he found himself on a strange beach.

  As far as the eye can see, it is endless ocean, this is a solitary island in the depths of the vast sea.

  On the island, the forest is lush and green, with apes crying out and tigers roaring. Ninety percent of the island's territory is covered in primitive forests, with towering ancient trees that block out the sky and ferocious beasts and birds flying about, making Xiao Gu feel as if he had returned to a chaotic primeval world.

  Deep in the island, there seem to be ancient beasts that occasionally let out a few angry roars, and apart from this, the world is silent. The scorching heat brings waves of salty sea air, flocks of seagulls soar above the emerald sea, and from time to time, huge fish leap out of the water, stirring up massive waves.

  The lush green coconut grove by the coast, casting a cool shade all over, with each and every one of the brown coconuts ripe and ready to eat, piled up together in a heap, looking especially enticing against the backdrop of the green leaves.

  It was already noon, and Xiao Gu did not rush to explore the place. Instead, he stayed there to rest and enjoy the mountain fruits, beach coconut juice, and roasted wild rabbit in his hands, which was the lunch for Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba.

  When passing through the space gate, even with Xiao Gu's strong combat body, he still suffered some injuries, so after eating the wild game, Xiao Gu began to self-heal.

  When he woke up again, it was already dusk.

  The red sun sets, the afterglow spills on the sea surface, a piece of bright red, the sea and sky are connected together, seawater, misty haze, a piece of residual red.

  Xiao Gu looked at Tian Yan who seemed to be in no hurry, and he also entered a state of cultivation once again.

  After a night of recuperation, Xiao Gu felt that his body had improved a lot and was almost fully recovered. The purple divine power allowed him to recover quickly.

  The morning sun shines brightly, shooting out countless golden rays. Where the sea and sky meet, it's as resplendent as a burst of fireworks, full of vitality and boundless energy.

  Standing on the beach, facing the morning sun, he began to collect the essence of heaven and earth, practicing the mysterious diagram method on the remaining map, his whole body as still as a pine.

  Soft morning light spilled over Xiao Gu's body, he breathed slowly and steadily, tiny wisps of invisible light seeping into his skin, dancing joyfully within his body. Although called a waste, in reality Xiao Gu had great talent for cultivation, from childhood practicing the mysterious and unfathomable Lianqi diagram, a grand and sacred temple was slowly opening its doors to him!

  The rising sun in the east, with rays of light shining through the clouds.

  Xiao Gu used breathing intervals as rhythm, each time inhaling to guide the purple solar essence into his body, letting it permeate through flesh and blood, entering his internal organs and bones, making every inch of his body surge with purple mist.

  When exhaling, the impure primordial energy in the internal organs, bones and flesh is expelled through the skin, and the purple energy arrives, making each of his cultivation twice as effective.

  In fact, when he didn't eat that purple fruit, Xiaogu's every cultivation was quite a stir, but there wouldn't be such a strange phenomenon as the purple energy coming from the east. However, since last time, the purple energy came from the east, and he had already gotten used to it!

  Blood and flesh are constantly purified and improved by the purest energy, and physical constitution is changing day after day and year after year.

  The essence of cultivation is to constantly break free from the shackles of the human body, achieving continuous transformation and sublimation of oneself. Xiao Gu firmly believes that sooner or later, he will also be able to break through the boundary between life and death, just like those legendary figures, and enter the realm of eternal immortality!

  At this time, Lao Wangba was standing on Xiao Gu's shoulder, absorbing the purple gas wildly, and looking at Xiao Gu with a complex expression.

  Of course, Xiao Gu couldn't see it; otherwise, he would have definitely suspected Lao Wang Ba's background. Such a profound and complex gaze can only be possessed after seeing through the impermanence of worldly affairs!

  The morning tide surged up, forcing Xiao Gu to temporarily leave, but Lao Wang Ba was very excited, swimming back and forth in the water.

  After the tide went out, a large number of shells, small shrimp, crabs, sea urchins and some jumping fish were left on the beach, making Xiao Gu and Tan Tian's breakfast extremely rich.

  Flames danced beside the coconut grove, where a shell as large as a face basin was placed on top, with the coconut juice inside already boiling, and the seafood had wafted out an enticing aroma.

  After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Xiao Gu decided to explore the surrounding terrain and find a temporary shelter.

  Through the coconut forest is a denser woodland, where it is lush and thriving, with extremely rich vegetation, including towering trees, white sandalwood, yellow tung, olive trees, palm trees, rubber trees, etc., ancient trees that touch the sky and block out the sun.

  Old Wang Ba seems to be very concerned about this scene, running back and forth in the forest from time to time, as if searching for something, but ultimately nothing is gained.

  Xiao Gu roughly memorized everything around him, because this place was completely unknown to him. Others were not familiar with it either, but they had received some information from the forces behind them.

  In this strange place, only with a careful heart can one live longer.

  Especially since he has many powerful enemies, the two strong kings who have been crowned, Sheng Tianwang and Xue Wuhui, will take action against him. There are also others who won't mind killing themselves to gain a favor from them, and for treasures, for other reasons. In short, Xiao Gu is in great danger.

  Through the coconut forest, Xiao Gu arrived at another piece of land.

  This is the habitat of seagulls, when Xiao Gu enters this area, countless birds fly out of the dense forest, tens of thousands of seagulls hover and cry in the sky, and feathers flutter down from the sky.

  The ground was covered with a thick layer of bird droppings, and there were nests everywhere on the branches and on the ground. Eggs could be seen anywhere, and many young birds cried out for food. Countless adult seagulls flew around, screaming loudly.

  The vast majority of birds are alien species that Xiao Gu has never seen before, and they are all terrifying ancient beasts. Earlier, he saw a giant strange bird with a wingspan of over ten meters, and on its sharp claws, which were like steel, hung a huge shark several meters long.

  Luckily these birds did not attack him, even though he inadvertently disturbed the tranquility of this place.

  It wasn't until he had walked through the dense forest for a long time that it slowly returned to calmness.

  But what was most terrifying was yet to come. It wasn't until Xiao Gu entered the next region that he truly understood the terror of this place for the first time.

  This land is vast and desolate!
