Chapter 671 Concealment
Chu Xun jumped to the bottomless abyss and disappeared into the surging white mist.
Gu Qing arrived beside the abyss with a dark look.
“Liu Tianhe, I swear I will not give up until I catch you!”
After that, Gu Qing also jumped down.
Chu Xun fell very fast. Not only did he not stabilize his body, but he also sped up and rushed down.
Boom!
Suddenly, a cliff exploded, and a bloody mouth opened, revealing more than meter-long fangs. The mouth bit at Chu Xun with a flashing cold light.
Chu Xun’s eyes flashed slightly. With the armor made of the Hong Meng Immortal Qi protecting him, instead of dodging, he rushed into the ferocious beast’s mouth.
The beast was a pangolin that was over twenty meters long. The scales were covered in a cold luster. Each of its scales was as large as a square table. It was a little stunned because it had never encountered such prey that rushed right into its mouth.
However, Chu Xun rushed into its mouth and went straight into its stomach.
The ferocious beast was born with a keen sense. Gu Qing chased after Chu Xun from above, and a terrifying pressure made the pangolin tremble. It hurriedly shrank into the cliff and returned along the way it came in the mountain.
Gu Qing chased all the way to the bottom of the abyss but couldn’t feel Chu Xun’s breath anymore. He was furious and attacked around crazily. He thought that Chu Xun had set up a formation again to hide as before.
He attacked wildly. However, he failed to force Chu Xun to appear this time.
How could Gu Qing give up? He sealed the surrounding area within a radius of several kilometers. He floated in the mid-air, waiting for Chu Xun to appear.
Chu Xun slipped into the pangolin’s belly and hid his breath, successfully avoiding Gu Qing’s pursuit.
Not to mention Gu Qing, even the pangolin didn’t know that its prey was still alive in its belly.
He had to break through as soon as possible.
Chu Xun did not dare to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world for fear of attracting Gu Qing’s attention. Fortunately, he had enough cultivation resources now. They were enough for him to reach the later stage of the Nascent Soul.
Chu Xun went crazy. He set up a Hiding Formation in the pangolin’s belly and began to cultivate crazily. His speed of refining spiritual herbs and elixirs was fast. Each time he sucked, tens of thousands of spiritual herbs and elixirs turned into ashes.
Chu Xun absorbed and refined hundreds of thousands of spiritual herbs and elixirs in merely an hour.
In addition to the opportunity to break through at the Nascent Soul Stage, the spiritual energy he needed was hundreds of times stronger than that needed by a normal warrior.
It had been a long time since Chu Xun broke through to the intermediate stage of the Nascent Soul. In addition, he had fought countless battles and built a solid foundation. In fact, he could have broken through a long time ago, but he had been suppressing his cultivation, fearing that he would be in seclusion for a hundred years and his parents could not live so long. Secondly, he wanted to consolidate his foundation.
Now, he couldn’t worry about all of this. He didn’t want to die in the Immortal Domain. The people on Dream Hell Mountain were still waiting for him, and his child was about to be born.
He had promised Jing Hong that he would go back when the child was born, but now it seemed impossible.
Moreover, he was scared. He was scared that he would be in seclusion for hundreds of years this time. If it happened, it would be too late to see his parents.
Chu Xun made a bold decision. He made a magic formation in the pangolin’s belly. It might kill both the pangolin and himself.
This magic formation would explode half a year later. At that time, the pangolin would be torn into pieces, and he would be awakened. If he succeeded in breaking through, he would be safe and sound. If he failed to break through and was awakened halfway, he might suffer Qi deviation.
As the saying goes, one should take risks for wealth. Chu Xun decided to take a risk. His current cultivation was not high enough in the Immortal Domain, and he might die at any time if he didn’t have a higher cultivation level.
Having set up the magic formation, Chu Xun spent three days refining all the resources he plundered.
He was now like a bomb barrel. Every cell in his body was full of spiritual energy, and his cells were enlarged several times as if they would explode at any time.
Breaking through to a higher cultivation level was like breaking through a barrier. He needed to accumulate the energy and break through in one go. If he couldn’t break through the barrier, all the years of accumulation would be in vain and even make him have hidden injuries.
Chu Xun reined back his thoughts and immersed himself in cultivation.
Outside, Gu Qing was so patient that he actually waited for a month.
“Liu Tianhe, get the hell out here!”
Gu Qing attacked the area regularly, hoping to force Chu Xun to appear. In a month, he had excavated every square meter of the area within a radius of several miles.
“Let’s see how long you can hide, Liu Tianhe!”
Gu Qing was a little mad. As an expert in the High Immortal Realm, he actually let a young man under 200 years old escape from him. He couldn’t stand it and didn’t want to give up.
Gu Qing sat down cross-legged. It seemed that he would not give up until he caught Chu Xun.
On the Dream Hell Mountain of Earth, a baby’s cry shook the whole mountain one day.
The child of Chu Xun and Jing Hong was born.
The birth of the child temporarily drove the sadness brought by the news of Chu Xun’s death out of people’s life.
The top official had brought the news of Chu Xun’s death in person on Dream Hell Mountain, and Emperor Ao also had come to confirm Chu Xun’s death.
However, the people on Dream Hell Mountain did not believe it. In the past, Chu Xun often disappeared, even for as long as 50 years, and then he would jump out alive and bring everyone a surprise.
They believed that it was the same this time. They would wait for Chu Xun to come back no matter how long it would take.
The baby lay beside Jing Hong. He had an extraordinary gift. Other than letting out a loud cry just after he was born, he didn’t cry anymore. He was so strong that the elders couldn’t hold him at all. So they could only put him beside Jing Hong.
The baby babbled and waved his white and tender hands happily, smiling at everyone.
“Jing Hong, please give him a name.” Liu Ran went forward and felt sorry for Jing Hong. Jing Hong’s hair was wet with perspiration.
“Let’s call the baby Pan’er,” Jing Hong shook her head gently and said with a maternal glow on her face.
Liu Ran was silent. She knew that Jing Hong was waiting for Chu Xun to come back.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
“Pan’er.”
At the foot of Qianlong Mountain, Jing Hong was still dressed in snow-white clothes.
Having heard Jing Hong’s voice, the little child stopped running and scampered off towards Jing Hong.
“Mommy...”
An ordinary three-month-old child should have stayed in swaddling clothes, but Pan’er could run and say some simple words. He was born at the later stage of the Qi Refinement, much stronger than the elders, but he didn’t know how to use his cultivation for the time being.
Jing Hong picked him up. “Pan’er, say Daddy.”
“Daddy... Mommy, who is Daddy?”
“He is the most powerful person in the world.”
“Where’s Daddy?”
“He is very far away from here. Sooner or later, he will come back. When he sees Pan’er, he will be happy.”
Pan’er nodded his little head as if he didn’t quite understand.
Time flew fast.
To cultivators, half a year was merely an instant.
In the Immortal Domain, an earth-shattering roar sounded inside a mountain. It trembled, and huge stones rolled down.
At the foot of the mountain, Gu Qing suddenly looked up.
“How crafty Liu Tianhe is. No wonder I couldn’t find you. It turned out you had been hiding inside the mountain. Let’s see where you can go this time!”
Gu Qing rose into the air.
There was a cave of more than 100 square meters in the mountain. The cave was the nest of the pangolin. However, the pangolin had been blown up into pieces.
Chu Xun’s eyes flickered with purple light, and he clenched his fists tightly. Feeling the surging power in his body, he raised his head and roared.
He had made the right bet. He woke up before the formation worked.
He was now at the later stage of the Nascent Soul, infinitely close to the Great Completion.
“Liu Tianhe, get the hell out here!”
Chu Xun was slightly stunned and looked a little surprised. He didn’t expect that Gu Qing was still there. Was he waiting for death?
Boom!
The cliff exploded, and Chu Xun rushed out. He stood in the air and looked at Gu Qing with a playful expression.
“Old dog of the Gu Family, you are really patient.” Chu Xun’s face was full of mockery.
“Liu Tianhe, you know you cannot hide anymore.” Gu Qing’s face was dark. A young man who was less than two hundred years old had made him waste half a year.
“From now on, we should exchange our roles,” Chu Xun said with a chuckle.
“What do you mean?” Gu Qing was confused.
“With your intelligence, it’s normal that you don’t understand,” Chu Xun sneered.
“Liu Tianhe, how dare you still playing tricks now? Let’s see how you escape this time.” Gu Qing raised his hand, and his Internal Breath swept over, sealing the space around him.
“Why should I run away?” Chu Xun asked.
“You know you can’t escape. It seems you have gotten a clear understanding of yourself.” Gu Qing’s eyes were sinister. “I have wasted half a year on you. You are unforgivable. If you behave yourself, I can let you die without too much pain.”
“Oh?” Chu Xun chuckled and said, “Tell me, what should I do?”
“Hand over your body-tempering technique and other secret cultivation techniques. If you do, I can let you die with little pain. If you dare to say no, I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death.”
Chu Xun said with a meaningful expression, “No, no, no.”
Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he became furious. It was obvious that Chu Xun was provoking him.
“Liu Tianhe, I think you won’t accept your defeat until you die.”
Gu Qing raised his hand, and a huge handprint rushed toward Chu Xun.
Chu Xun snorted softly, with Hong Meng Immortal Qi surging. He looked at the big handprint coming at him coldly and raised the corners of his mouth with disdain. He reached out his hand gently and suddenly clenched it. In an instant, the air around him became turbulent. The air compressed the handprint crazily, and the handprint exploded.
“You...” Gu Qing was shocked, and his face was full of disbelief.
“You’re surprised, aren’t you?” Chu Xun chuckled. The next moment, he made a fist magic signet in his hand and rushed out.
The momentum of his fist surged like rolling thunder, and the bright light of his fist carried unparalleled killing power.
Gu Qing roared angrily, and his Internal Breath surged around him. He punched out, and his palm collided with Chu Xun’s fist. With a boom, a terrible blast swept out. The cliff exploded, causing a boulder weighing thousands of kilograms to roll down.
Boom!
Gu Qing’s sleeves were blown into pieces, and he flew back thousands of meters. He looked at Chu Xun in horror. His arm was twitching, and the space between his thumb and index finger was cracking.
“Old dog of the Gu Family, do you understand what I mean now?”
Before his voice died away, the void began to tremble.
Demon-slain Finger – Shaking the sky by the fourth finger!
The terrifying giant finger seemed to come from the depths of heaven. With a destructive aura, it crashed down on Gu Qing. The Forbidden Area Installation he set up around to prevent Chu Xun from escaping was crushed in an instant.
Gu Qing’s old face was full of panic. He roared, and his robe fluttered. His hands waved wildly, and a huge fist print formed by his Internal Breath rushed toward the Demon-slain Finger.
Boom!
The Demon-slain Finger directly crushed the big fist print as big as a mountain. The storm caused by the explosion spread out and destroyed several mountains directly.
The move of Demon-slain Finger did not slow down at all. It hit Gu Qing directly and forced him to fall to the bottom of the abyss.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded at the bottom of the abyss, and the surrounding mountains collapsed. The sound spread to the sky and dispelled the clouds in a radius of several miles.
