The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3125 It's all for love

After reading the letter, Du Xing saw Song Wanxi's storage bag, the pool of blood, and the two dead Gu worms inside. He was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and had no thoughts at all!

He never imagined that Song Wanxi's life would be so tragic, nor did he expect that he was the one who caused Song Wanxi's tragic life.

Unexpectedly, Song Wanxi finally fell in love with him and stopped trying to harm him. Instead, she quietly pondered the situation, believing that this was a way of being true to her parents and family.

However, the unexpected outcome was that her death did not achieve its original purpose, but rather the family hatred was finally avenged, and the vow of revenge was fulfilled.

Du Xing didn't know what to do. The Love Tribulation Gu poison in his body was incurable. Unless the Gu worm and Song Wanxi survived, he could continue to live.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

Du Xing finally buried the entire cave, including the storage bag. He didn't touch it, letting it stay with Song Wanxi. Then he erected a tombstone in front of the buried cave, inscribed with "Tomb of my beloved wife, Song Wanxi".

After reading the letter and seeing the dried bloodstains, he had forgiven Song Wanxi and acknowledged that she was his wife.

Afterwards, Du Xing returned to the Supreme Sect, found his master, knelt before him, and recounted what had happened.

It can be said that at that moment, Du Xing was filled with regret, wanting to ask for his master's forgiveness, and then find a propitious place to await his death.

Unexpectedly, the master sighed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected his highly regarded disciple to do something so unfortunate. However, as the master, he ultimately forgave his disciple.

There was nothing he could do. His apprentice's personality development was also related to him. If he had let his apprentice experience the outside world more early on, he wouldn't have been so simple-minded and wouldn't have been taken advantage of. But it was too late to say anything now.

However, instead of stopping Du Xing from leaving, she advised him to live on.

That woman, Song Wanxi, ultimately wanted Du Xing to live, not die.

Du Xing's master said, "My disciple, Song Wanxi has already forgiven you and hopes you will live well. She is even willing to sacrifice her own life to save you. So don't talk about dying lightly."

Du Xing shook his head and refused, because he already had the Love Tribulation Gu poison in his body, and this kind of Gu poison was incurable, and he would die no matter what.

Therefore, he could only beg for his master's forgiveness and then think about leaving the sect to find a quiet place to wait for death.

He knew that Song Wanxi wanted him to live, but he never expected it to end like this.

However, what Du Xing did not expect was that his master had another way to cure the poison of the Gu worms.

The idea is to use the thousand-year-old ice essence, immerse it in water, and then use the weight and pressure of the water, along with the gradual permeation of the ice essence into the body, to perhaps find a chance to cure the poison of the love tribulation.

Of course, no one has ever used this method of relief, because the poison of love tribulation is too rare. The person who invented this antidote was also poisoned by love tribulation, but he died of the poison not long after he developed it.

Moreover, the Thousand-Year Ice Soul's cold poison is too potent; direct contact would result in immediate death from freezing. It can only be neutralized by a thousand layers of water, requiring a vast amount of water. Furthermore, water pressure is needed to suppress the Gu worm's poison, making the situation even more difficult. However, unexpectedly, Du Xing's master had previously obtained a Thousand-Year Ice Soul by chance, and the Supreme Sect possessed a master of formations.

It can be said that all the formations of the entire Supreme Sect are closely related to this formation master. Even in this small space of the Supreme Sect, all the formations were set up by this formation master.

Therefore, Master Du Xing sought out this array master, hoping to ask him to set up an array to see if it could be used to suppress the poison of the Gu worms.

Surprisingly, this formation was also simple for a formation master; it could be successfully set up as long as there was a suitable location. Finally, a suitable location was found not far from the mountain gate of the Supreme Sect.

This is the lake that Chen Mo and his group have encountered.

Originally, there was no lake; it was a huge chasm, just like the canyon. So, by setting up an array here and diverting water, it became a huge lake.

At the very bottom of the lake, an array was set up to create a water flow, which is the large black hole. All the water converges into the lake, and then, through this array at the bottom of the lake, it is guided into the black hole and then comes out from another place, forming a circulation.

With the power of the Thousand-Year Ice Soul, and the lake water being deep enough to exert pressure, a person in the black hole, being washed by the water flow and possessing a trace of the Ice Soul power, can naturally suppress the poison of the Love Tribulation Gu worm.

However, if Du Xing wants to use this formation, he must become the sect's gatekeeper.

Du Xing and his master agreed, and Du Xing became the sect's gatekeeper.

When Master Du Xing threw the thousand-year-old ice crystal into the formed lake, the entire lake water turned frigid. Because the temperature was so low, no fish could survive in the entire lake.

Especially since Du Xing was at the bottom of the lake, after being constantly washed by the water, the water contained traces of Gu worm poison, making it impossible for any living creature to survive in the lake.

However, Master Du Xing still found a rare beast that could withstand such cold temperatures and had high resistance to poison, and had Du Xing keep it, so that he could relieve his loneliness.

These two strange beasts were the same ones that initially fought against Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing. Furthermore, because they lived in the lake, which contained ice spirits and Gu worms, their bodies gradually evolved, not only significantly increasing their defense but also giving them resistance to poison.

From then on, Du Xing became the guardian of the Supreme Sect's mountain gate. He lived in a lake not far from the mountain gate, enduring the scouring of the lake water day and night, as well as the icy chill of the lake.

However, what Du Xing's master did not expect was that although this formation could suppress the poison of the Gu worms, it could only save Du Xing's life. However, because the poison of the Love Tribulation Gu worms was too potent, anyone who cultivated it would suffer from qi deviation.

Fortunately, the lake water contained the chilling essence of millennia-old ice, so it was possible to induce a state of demonic possession. However, while the suppression was effective, it prevented Du Xing from cultivating any further, and his cultivation level began to decline. This process was slow, but continuous.

Therefore, since Du Xing was in the lake, his body has gradually changed, especially after being invaded by the Ice Soul and being pulled by the demonic possession. His body gradually became thinner and his skin gradually turned black, eventually forming an appearance that was neither human nor ghost.

Originally a high-ranking Golden Core cultivator, he was now submerged a thousand meters below the surface of a lake, enduring the constant scouring and pressure of the water. His only companions were strange beasts, and he had no one else to live with.
