Chapter 115 Progress

  In the depths of the boundless and endless death swamp, a towering ancient tomb stood upright, its majestic aura sweeping across all eight directions, sealing off the cultivation of all magical beasts and humans.

  And yet, beneath this most profound divine tomb, there existed an infinitesimally small cultivator who was struggling to move forward.

  The eighth heavy boundary point, this is the limit that Xiao Gu can step into at this time.

  To put it bluntly, after the last tempering, Xiao Gu can now resist a cultivator at the half-step Nascent Soul stage with just his physical body alone, and even overpower them. As for the remaining few people, although they are slightly weaker, they are still enough to resist the Eighth Layer of Nirvana!

  What's more important is that Xiao Gu and others have already crossed into the realm of peeking at the Tao, if not for the suppression of this land's divine tomb, Xiao Gu and others would have likely stepped into this heavy realm.

  It has to be said that for low-level cultivators, especially talented ones, this is a rare treasure land.

  Not only can it improve one's realm, but also temper one's physical body.

  Everything here is no less than the secret realm of the supreme power, and it's even stronger by three points.

  Bang!

  Another wolf-like flight, but Xiao Gu had no discomfort at all. This kind of flying feeling he has already experienced at least thousands of times since then.

  "At this speed, I estimate that within three months, we may have the opportunity to enter the Divine Tomb," Wu Qing said as he handed a piece of roasted demon beast meat to Xiao Gu, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.

  "If nothing unexpected happens, it's indeed possible," Xiao Gu nodded.

  "For such a long time, no one has come here, I don't know what's going on outside, but the time left for us can't be much either," Li Tian said, adding a bundle of grass to the fire in front of him with a worried tone.

  "If you ask me, it's definitely..."

  "Someone's coming," Jian Yi suddenly spoke up as soon as Ren Yao opened his mouth.

  "Is anyone there?" Xiao Gu furrowed his brow, but didn't seem too worried.

  Cultivators with extremely high cultivation levels would definitely not dare to venture into this place, especially here. The strongest cultivator who came was only at the Qi Refining stage, and their cultivation was suppressed here, making it a purely physical battle. Xiaogu and the others had no reason to be afraid.

  "Never mind them, let's just do what we need to do. They shouldn't be able to set foot in this place for a while," Li Tian said calmly as he glanced into the distance before continuing to eat his roasted meat.

  "Not bad, this is the fifth critical point, they want to enter here, it's impossible in just a few months," said the ruthless one with a sneer.

  "But, I mean, don't you guys get tired of eating barbecue every day? These people must have some good stuff on them, why don't we just rob them?" Ren Yao suddenly had an idea, and with difficulty swallowed a dry mouthful of barbecue.

  "It's a good idea," he said, and even his ruthless gaze lit up.

  "Two gluttons," Xiao Gu scolded with a smile.

  "Rub, you have skills, don't eat when it's time," Ren Yao was also excited.

  Of course, this is also inevitable. The meat of the monster contains various elements, not only bringing a strange taste but also being difficult to eat. Anyone who eats it continuously for several months will probably want to vomit.

  "Let's go, no need to say anything," and dragged Ren Yao towards the direction of the approaching person!

  Xiao Gu shook his head along with several others, but no one said anything.

  As for Ren Yao and Wu Qing, they were still very at ease here. Even if a cultivator had stepped into the third realm, it was likely that they would not be able to compare with them in terms of physical strength.

  "Hey, Ren Yao, don't forget to bring back two sets of clothes," Li Tian suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly just as Wu Qing and Ren Yao were about to leave the first boundary.

  Good advice, Xiao Gu looked at his own tattered clothes and gave Li Tian a thumbs up.

  To put it bluntly, apart from Xue Wu, the few of them are now probably not even as good as beggars. Their entire bodies are tattered and worn out, almost all of them have become rags, a large part of which are supplemented by the fur of magical beasts.

  It's also reasonable that Xiao Gu and others wouldn't have prepared too many clothes in the storage space, just enough for daily changes.

  But those few sets of clothes can't last for a few days at all.

  Among the few, only Xue Wu was still as beautiful every day, her stunning looks enough to make the world dull, a snow-white cheongsam with long sleeves, a white waistband, and long hair flying in the wind, looking like an immortal fairy, even after such a long battle, couldn't make her beauty fade away.

  "No time, by the way, how did you have so many clothes in your storage space?" Xiao Gu lay down on the empty ground that everyone had cleaned up, resting after eating and drinking his fill.

  "I am a woman," Xue Wu suddenly stood beside Xiao Gu, looking at Xiao Gu's lazy appearance, and suddenly revealed a hint of a smile.

  Good grief!

  Xiao Gu was stunned at the time, Xue Wu's smile was already beyond description with "Closing Moon and Shy Flower", if there were really immortals in this world, Xiao Gu believed that even the most beautiful immortal maiden would not be more than that.

  She gently bent down, and with a wave of her hand, the bloodstains on Xiao Gu's body turned into ice cubes. Then she carefully helped him shake them off, her tender feelings evident in her eyes without any disguise.

  It's strange to say, but here, where almost everyone's divine power is sealed, Snow can still use a part of her power. Although this thread-like power has no practical effect in battle, it's more than enough for cleaning.

  Can't help but say that Xue's serious expression is really captivating, even with Xiao Gu's intelligence, there's a feeling of being unable to hold on.

  "Unexpectedly," under the influence of the mischievous spirit, Xiao Gu stretched out one hand and stroked Snow Without Leisure's long hair.

  Yes, Xu Wu's body suddenly stiffened, and then a faint blush appeared on his calm face.

  "It's beautiful," Xiao Gu murmured almost unconsciously, and then gently brought Snow's long hair to the front of her body, smelling that intoxicating fragrance, almost sinking into it.

  Xue's pretty face turned even redder, she maintained her bowed posture and didn't dare move, not even having the courage to lift her head.

  The icy and pure fairy, as if she were a young girl who had just fallen in love.

  "I'm back, haha, and this time the harvest is quite substantial," just as Xiao Gu and Xue Wu were both indulging in it, Wu Qing returned at the right moment.

  "This..."

  Xiao Gu returned to his senses, looking at the soft and docile Xue Wu Xu who was bowing in front of him, as well as the long hair in his hand. A hint of inexplicable palpitations and embarrassment appeared on his face.

  Although he heard the ruthless voice, Xue Wu still didn't get up, only because his long hair was still in that person's hand, making him reluctant to break the atmosphere of this moment.

  "Come on, pull me up, will you?" Xiang Gu finally sighed and said to Xue Wu in a gentle tone he had never used before.

  Now he has clearly understood Xue Wu's intention!

  For the two people's almost fantastical good feelings towards each other, and their rapid development, Xiao Gu has always been puzzled, even when Old Wang Ba said that there was a mysterious connection between the two of them, Xiao Gu still found it hard to believe.

  Ever since Xiao Gu inadvertently saw Xue Wu Hua bathing, and then Xue Wu Hua unexpectedly let him off, and later entered the Barbarian Island, Xue Wu Hua pursued him to kill him, and then Xue Wu Hua asked for his help.

  Finally met in the Death Swamp and fell into it together.

  To put it bluntly, Xiao Gu and Xue Wu's encounter was nothing out of the ordinary.

  There are no heroic rescues, no childhood sweethearts, and certainly no sacrificing oneself for revenge; all these famous ambiguous emotional plot devices are nowhere to be found.

  If we're talking about ambiguity, I reckon only the first bath can barely be counted!

  But a woman like Xue Wu is not someone who would be forced into marriage just because she was seen by someone, that's impossible.

  However, in fact, it can be said that they almost fell in love at first sight!

  Since their first meeting, both of them had a subtle affection for each other, which was inexplicable.

  Is it really like the legend says, being too handsome?

  Snow gently pulled up Xiao Gu, her gaze at Xiao Gu had already become extremely gentle.

  Such a woman is either unmoved or, once moved, will be steadfast in her devotion unless she is discarded by Xiao Gu.

  Of course, if Xiao Gu dared to do so, Xue Wu would definitely kill him first and then remain unmarried for the rest of her life.
