From waterfowl, it began to transform into the Great Sun Golden Crow.

Chapter 58 Returning Home, Everything Has Changed

Dawn had broken.

Gu Heting's medicine was running low. He only had three Miasma-Avoiding Pills left.

He gave one of them to Shang Rui.

Looking into the little girl's eyes, he said, "You should leave here first. I'll keep an eye on your mother's movements."

"Take this token and cross the waterfall of Wushan. There is a sect there called Xiaoshan Sect."

"You should stay at that sect for a few days first."

""

The mother and daughter fled to this miasma-ridden red forest.

Their whereabouts have long been unknown.

Gu Heting also wants to go to the former blessed land of Dongting.

I don't have time to take on another burden.

Zhang Rui was somewhat worried.

But after a moment, she understood. "My benefactor, please be careful," she said, sounding like a little waterbird, finding her benefactor somewhat strange. After thinking for a while, Shang Rui swallowed the miasma-avoiding pill.

He watched Shang Rui disappear into the distance.

Gu Heting used water power again. After a long afternoon of travel, the entire layer of purple miasma was peeled away.

As we emerged from the last patch of red forest, everything around us became scorching and blinding.

A blue halo enveloped the vast area.

The giant magic circle was covered with some kind of inscription.

Through the inscription, Gu Heting saw a kind of thin film.

When the gaze is activated, everything around becomes dazzling.

Everything around him became dazzling. Inside lay a blessed land, the very place where Gu Heting was born.

"I'm back."

For some reason, Gu Heting had a feeling that Hu Hansan had returned.

Gu Heting patted the barrier with his small hand.

An invisible force made him feel numb.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy followed, causing the spiritual energy in his dantian to become chaotic. A mouthful of blood gushed out.

How could this happen?

It's easy to get out, but hard to get back in.

Is it that complicated?

Gu Heting began to recall the scene he didn't want to remember back then—the final moment of his confrontation with Qin Wuxie.

He spread his arms.

The water-powered technique that swallowed the river fish delivered it to the outside of the barrier of the Dongting Blessed Land.

Old fish, oh old fish.

How did you do that?

Gu Heting sighed for no reason. However, what Gu Heting didn't know was that the River-Swallowing Fish had used up the last of its life force.

He used water power to break through the barrier.

"Since I can come from here."

There must be a defect somewhere.

If Qin Wuxie can come in, if the Purple Bamboo Immortal can come in, then I can also leave through here. Therefore, there must be a gap.

Where is this gap?

Gu Heting controlled the water dragon, and the enormous water dragon spiraled upwards. He stood on the head of the water dragon, looking at the barrier reflecting the inscriptions.

Where exactly is the crack?

"The Phoenix Carries a Book"

Gu Heting opened the Phoenix-Bearing Book, essentially trying anything as a last resort. The few words on the book, however, brought him a pleasant surprise.

The land shapes its people and their spirit.

[Searching far and wide, but where to find it?]

[Spiritual energy abounds, and blessings descend like sweet rain. This place, with its waters, reflects the grandeur of the heavens. It belongs to the blessed land of Dongting Lake.]

Established in 12,000.

[It was disrupted just 5 days ago by a Nascent Soul cultivator and the Purple Bamboo Immortal.]

There is a crack in the southeast direction.

Gu Heting looked at the hints in the Phoenix-Inscribed Book, somewhat overjoyed. He stood on the little bird's feet, manipulating the water dragon, observing the crack.

The inside of the crack was a deep purple.

There is an uncertainty.

This is it.

Without a second thought, Gu Heting manipulated the water dragon to enter the crevice. As soon as he entered, a blast of corpse fumes filled his nostrils.

The nauseating and pungent smell made him vomit.

Gu Heting felt a surge of nausea and vomiting. The once spiritually vibrant Dongting Lake had long since changed.

Everything around Gu Heting felt both familiar and strange.

The entire blessed land of Dongting.

The ground was covered in blood; the once shimmering lake was now stained with blood.

"This...how is this possible?"

Gu Heting whimpered, her lips trembling. She kept waving her little beak.

He took a few steps back, unable to believe it.

The once beautiful and blessed land of Dongting.

It has turned into such a living hell.

I was born on Cheung Chau Island.

He focused his gaze on the nine small islands. Changzhou Island's terrain was half swamp and half green mountains. But now only swamp and withered trees remained.

He manipulated a water dragon to descend onto Cheung Chau Island. Everything around him was unfamiliar.

The swamp of yesteryear.

On one side was swampy terrain, which shouldn't have resulted in such a rotten state. Yet, it was now filled with the corpses of spirit beasts.

The skeletons of many mythical beasts lay in the middle.

The scene resembled a mass grave for mythical beasts.

The once blessed land of Dongting has now become a sea of ​​blood and a desolate wasteland. Everything around it seems to be cursed.

Boom boom boom.

Bubbles began to rise from the ground, and a white, decaying crab emerged.

He exhaled countless bubbles.

It exploded towards Gu Heting like a firecracker.

At the very beginning, Gu Heting closed his eyes and leaped upwards.

Thus, it escaped the crab's attack.

He leaped onto the dead tree and carefully examined the crab.

This crab is extremely familiar.

Isn't that just that offshore swamp crab?

"The phoenix carries a book in its beak."

The words that appeared on the book in the phoenix's beak sent chills down Gu Heting's spine.

【Rotten Mud Bank Swamp Crab】

[Died 5 days ago]

[The Swamp Heart, Now Corpse-Destroyed]

Qin Wuxie used a celestial artifact, the Ten Thousand Bones Corpse Painting, to corrupt everything around him.

[Affected by corruption.]

The offshore swamp crab has turned into a skeleton crab.

[Nowadays, these are considered evil objects.]

A monster born from resentment.

"Qin Wuxie, what have you done?"

'

This is an offshore swamp crab. It's covered in a disgusting white slurry. A piece of its body is missing, and its claws have turned white.

A foul, fishy smell wafted from the corner of his mouth.

The crab kept spewing black foam from its mouth.

He was listless and lifeless.

It has completely lost its former vitality.

Perhaps death would be a relief for them.

"Heh," Gu Heting let out a sad laugh.

He suddenly remembered what he had said to the crab.

"If I ever achieve great things in the future, I will grant you a chance. I think that chance is probably gone. But I can send you on your way, so you won't have to live in such a daze."

Looking at the offshore swamp crab whose body had already turned into a corpse.

Gu Heting felt inexplicably sad.

He spread his wings and stirred up a whirlwind.

Water vapor rose from all around.

A water ring appeared on his wings.

The water rings were like sharp water blades.

Gu Heting slapped the crab.

Goodbye, I hope you won't suffer in your next life.

"I took your Water Spirit Fruit."

"Then I'll repay your kindness."

""

The water ring fell downwards, drawing an arc in the center of the crab.

The crab blankly extended its pincers.

It instinctively wanted to clamp onto the water ring.

The rapidly spinning water ring flew quickly through the crab's body.

A clicking sound came from behind.

The swamp crab swayed its body. A moment later, it collapsed with a crash.

Gu Heting sliced ​​it in two with a single blow.
