Peerless Fierce Beast

Just like that, Gu Qi stayed in the Cloud City and became a member of the city's defense team. His mission was to patrol around the city to see if anyone could make it. If one was able to detect suspicious people and obtain corresponding rewards after verification, it could be said to be an extremely easy job. During this period of time, Gu Qi had also gotten to know the situation here. The only feeling he had was that it was flawless; whether this was an illusion or real.

Everyone was moving according to their own paths. Gu Qi could even feel a trace of karma in this place. Facing the danger they would face in the future, he was more interested to know if this was an illusion or if it was real from ten thousand years ago.

"Gu Qi." Xie Shishi's voice came from afar, and Gu Qi finally stopped thinking about it. "Xie Zi, the person who brought Gu Qi here, was also the captain of the Silver Leopard Team. His main mission was to collect all sorts of information and was a trusted aide of General Ji Ming, who took great care of him." "Gu Qi, this is a pill that the general gave you. Eat it and you can break through to the Profound King Stage."

Looking at the jade box in his hand, Gu Qi had a strange look in his eyes. It turned out that the general had received a serious injury in the previous battle, which was why he was forcefully brought back from the battlefield. His injury could only be treated by someone with the Wood Type Profound Spirit Body, but after so long, Gu Qi had yet to hear any news of him being cured, or perhaps because his cultivation was too low and unable to treat him, so he had sent people to deliver medicines and resources to him. Even ten thousand years ago, this kind of medicine was still considered priceless.

Whether it was to win over the hearts of the people or for some other purpose, this point was impossible to guess. The Profound Spirit Illusion Realm could not be missed. It definitely could not reach the realm of the Profound King. However, if that were the case, they would deal with him in such a manner. When Gu Qi was on patrol, he had already inspected his surroundings. There weren't any cities within a radius of ten thousand miles, only deserts.

If one did not have an expert leading them, then the only way out would be death if they encountered the spirit energy storm in the desert. This was the only city, and also the best place to find out the truth. Merely, danger also existed at the same time. It was truly a place where one faced certain death.

"I can't accept it. I'm just a small soldier, how could I accept such a precious pill?" When Gu Qi pushed the pill to Xie Zi, Xie Zi pushed it back with a dark expression.

"Since the general gave it to you, then you have to obey his orders." Gu Qi could only smile and accept it. Xie Zi's face remained dark, as if he had a huge opinion of Gu Qi. His thoughts were written all over his face, which was interesting.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "This is the general's favor. You must remember his great kindness." Gu Qi continued to smile warmly, and his expression darkened even more when he saw Xie Zi. He turned around and left, leaving only one person behind.

Gu Qi didn't immediately return to the city, but dashed off into the distance. Gu Qi had discovered a dead city during his previous patrol. Although there was nothing there, it was a good place to hide. It was just the right place for Gu Qi to confirm some things.

On the way, Gu Qi had no choice but to stop. In the distance, a strong gust of wind could be seen rushing towards the far distance at a speed visible to the naked eye. Whether it was ten thousand years ago or ten thousand years later, the Spiritual Energy Storm was still in the same state. There were some things that could never be found again, and the world was just so mysterious, making one unable to see through them.

Fortunately, the target of the spiritual energy storm wasn't the dead city, but the opposite direction. If Gu Qi had been hit by a spiritual energy storm when he first arrived in this world, he would have died by now. Countless dangers were buried under the tranquil desert, even if they wanted to leave, it wasn't that easy.

Half of it had already been buried by the yellow sand, and one could see the luster of the past from the broken wall. However, Gu Shenwei was not in the mood to sigh with emotion, he found a house and drove away the magical beasts under the sand. He took out a formation from his storage ring and placed it all around him; even an expert of the peak of the Xuan King level would not be able to discover him. Even though ten thousand years ago, the world was filled with profound energy, but on the path of martial arts, one could not travel too far just by relying on profound energy. He had also not seen the scene of a Profound Elder walking all over the ground.

It was only after everything was set up that Gu Qi took out the pill Xie Zi had given him. The black pellet was poured into Gu Qi's palm instead of the fragrance he had expected. It was like a treasured sword, hiding all its sharp edge inside its sheath. Only a flash of purple light showed how extraordinary the pellet was. Gu Qi scraped a bit of powder off the pill and placed it into his mouth.

Just that little bit was enough to cause all the profound energy in heaven and earth to be poured in like Gu Qi, causing the meridians to be filled with profound energy, and the boundaries of cultivation to be broken through. With his previous experience in the Flowerwater Illusion Realm, Gu Qi already had all the insights needed to reach the realm of the Profound realm. As long as the profound energy in his body reached a certain degree of strength, he would be able to smoothly advance, without any bottlenecks. This pill was real, even the feeling was the same as when he swallowed the pill. The Mysterious King Stage could not be broken through, so how could he find a suitable reason? Gu Qi seemed to have thought of something and sent his spiritual sense into the Universe Ring.

As long as he relied on the Spirit Sucking Fish to absorb all of the surrounding profound energy and infuse it into Gu Qi's body, he would probably be able to reach the pinnacle of the Profound Master realm by then. At that time, no one would doubt him, even with the aid of this kind of pellet, without sufficient mental fortitude, he would only become a waste of a Profound King.

After entering the Universe Ring, Gu Qi was greatly alarmed. The Spirit Sucking Fish seemed to have been restricted by something, and even the flowing Profound power was frozen, as if even time itself stopped. Gu Shenwei had never encountered such a situation before, but he had a bit of understanding in his heart. Gu Qi withdrew his array formation and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.

A scorpion lay on the yellow sand, quietly waiting for its prey. Suddenly, a pair of wings appeared behind it and grabbed it. How could the scorpion, who had yet to awaken its consciousness, be a match for Gu Qi? No matter how it struggled, it was unable to escape the palm. Gu Qi placed the scorpion into his Universe Ring. The scorpion struggled for a moment, and before Gu Qi's eyes, it turned into nothingness.

Sure enough, this world was an illusion. It was no wonder that even the Xuan Sovereign might not be able to pass the trial. If he participated in the Sacred War, he would either die in battle or end up in an illusion to grow old. Right now, Gu Qi's advantage was that he knew the loophole in the illusion. He could use this loophole to break open the illusion.

The other advantage was time. Previously, he had experienced hundreds of years in the illusion, but when he regained his senses, it was only for a blink of an eye. This illusion also had the same principle, so the time he stayed in this illusion could be infinitely extended. However, if they died in the illusion, their main body would also die. War was the most likely time for legends to appear. At the same time, countless piles of human flesh and blood would be used to create it.

As long as Gu Qi was at the peak of Mysterious Master, any Xuan Zun would be able to kill him. It would be best if he could get rid of the illusion before the Holy War broke out.

There were always some Heavenly Dao trails within these illusions, making it impossible to find any loopholes. Otherwise, Gu Qi wouldn't have been trapped in these illusions for the rest of his life and wouldn't have realized it was just a dream. It was only when Qi Meng removed the illusion array that he was able to come out. If it was to find loopholes in the illusion, then this was undoubtedly the slowest and stupidest method. With the world being so vast, even if one was constantly searching for holes in it, they would not be able to find any.

Since this was an illusion created by Thousand Illusions, then was the Thousand Illusions in this illusion? Finding someone in the illusion or someone related to the illusion was undoubtedly a way to leave, but this was only a guess.

If they could find Thousand Illusions, then how would the obvious loophole appear in this illusion? Moreover, this was a small city in the middle of the desert, and Thousand Illusions could not be in this kind of place.

However, there was still a method. If the people of this world believed that the place they lived in was just an illusion created by a divine tool, then it would break by itself.

But it was easy to say, but it was easier said than done. Gu Qi still decided to make use of this failure to make a trip to the general's estate and check out the news about the divine tool to see if there was any useful information.

Just when Gu Qi was deep in thought, a thought suddenly came out from the Universe Ring. Only living magical beasts have such mental strength, could it be …

Gu Qi immediately sent his spiritual power into the ring and found a small white bat greeting him intimately. This was the Demonic Sound Bat King. Ever since it was hatched by the beast egg, it had been in a deep slumber. Who would have thought that it would wake up at this moment? Even ten thousand years ago, the Demonic Sound Bat King was an extremely rare magical beast. Its two innate abilities could be of great help to Gu Shenwei.

A contracted magical beast could be considered a part of the user's strength, just like the Heaven Flame in the dantian that could still be used. The little bat king was only the size of a palm, and its entire body was snow-white. If it didn't have wings, it would look like a small white mouse. It was only an infant, yet it had already reached the level of a beast king. It was truly a beast king.
