Chapter 229: The Inner Demon of the Jindan Stage
In the bedroom on the second floor, the clone was sleeping with Xiao Zi. Both of them had no posture when sleeping and were sleeping in a crooked position.
The noise coming from the training room downstairs was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the tranquility of the night.
The clone's eyes suddenly opened, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, he sent a copy of the message to the original body, and then patted Xiao Zi in his arms.
"Little guy, come on, accompany me downstairs. They have made a breakthrough so quickly." He said softly, with a hint of relief in his voice.
Xiao Zi seemed to understand what the clone said. He jumped off the bed, wagged his tail, and excitedly followed the clone downstairs.
The stone door of the training room slowly opened, and Han's clone and Xiao Zi walked in.
As soon as Xiao Zi saw Gu Yang, she jumped down happily and rubbed the corner of Gu Yang's clothes affectionately.
Gu Yang smiled slightly, reached out and stroked Xiao Zi's head. Feeling that Xiao Zi's aura had also increased, he felt even happier.
Hu Qing's face was solemn and he looked around vigilantly. He always felt that this inner demon was unusual.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the sky above the villa, like a god beating a drum, shaking the whole villa slightly.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt the vibration underground and quickly squatted down, but Xiao Zi and his clone were looking at them in confusion, as if they didn't feel the vibration.
A bolt of thunder struck from the sky without warning, piercing through the roof, rushing through the second floor, passing through the thick walls of the training room, and heading straight for Gu Yang's head.
This lightning was extremely strange. It crossed for such a long time but did not cause any damage to the villa. It was as if it was just an illusion.
Gu Yang's body shook, and he felt a powerful force pulling his soul out of his body and flying into the sky.
Before Hu Qing on the side could be shocked, his soul was also pulled by this force and rose up with Gu Yang.
The souls of the two were constantly squeezed, torn apart, and then reassembled in the thunder.
The intense pain was almost unbearable for them, and the torture of the soul far exceeded the pain of the body.
Eventually, both men were unable to withstand the pain and fell into a coma.
The soul continued to fly towards the unknown space. Hu Qing and Gu Yang's golden cores stayed in the broken space, constantly rotating and absorbing the surrounding energy.
One is bright and shiny, with only a little bit of gray left, while the other is round and has no lines on its surface.
……
In the training room, Xiao Zi looked at the two fallen people in shock. It licked Gu Yang's face without any reaction, and its eyes were full of worry.
The clone was not surprised to see this, after all, it was like this when practicing "The Great Dream Art". However, he did not expect that the way they left would be so shocking.
He described the process in detail, then sent it to the original body and ignored it.
He has already done what he should do, so there is no need to do more things that he shouldn't do.
He gently picked up Xiao Zi, left the training room, and went back to the second floor to sleep.
In the arms of its clone, Xiao Zi twisted its body restlessly. Its intuition told it that both of its masters seemed to be missing something.
But with its current brain, it probably couldn't figure out what it was even if it tried its best.
Elder Han's clone gently patted Xiao Zi's back to soothe it.
"Don't worry, little one. They're both very powerful and can't be killed. Do you want to eat a piece of Lihuo Mine before going to sleep?"
The clone's voice was calm and gentle. He took out a stone mixed with bright orange crystals from the storage ring and played with it in his hand.
Xiao Zi seemed to understand what the clone said, and no longer thought about what the two had lost. He swallowed twice and took the Lihuo Mine from the clone's hand and held it.
It looked at the ore in its arms and gradually calmed down, but still stared at the door of the training room, looking forward to the return of Gu Yang and Hu Qing.
……
Gu Yang's consciousness gradually woke up from the chaos. He felt his eyelids were extremely heavy, as if they were suppressed by an invisible force.
He used all his strength and finally slowly opened his eyes.
What meets the eye is pure white, without the blue of the sky, without the green of the earth, and not even a trace of clouds.
It was so cold all around that he couldn't even feel his limbs.
But strangely, he did not feel any cold wind, nor did he sense the presence of any spiritual energy.
He slowly got up from the ground, feeling his head swollen, as if something was expanding in his mind but he couldn't grasp it.
The ground was also pure white, smooth and cold. He stood up and looked around. It was pure white everywhere, which made him mistakenly believe that he had returned to the space where the dragon was.
But there was no smell in the air here, no trace of life, not even a sound, only deathly silence.
An inexplicable uneasiness welled up in Gu Yang's heart. He always felt that something was missing, but his head was swollen and he couldn't remember what it was.
He took a deep breath, but found that even the air seemed to be non-existent. The feeling of emptiness made his heart tighten.
He decided not to dwell on these incomprehensible phenomena anymore, but to see what was ahead.
He took a step forward, but found that he could not hear his own footsteps, as if even the sound was swallowed up by this pure white world.
He stretched out his hand and touched the air in front of him, but only felt cold. Waving his hands did not generate any air flow.
It seems as if the air here is illusory and does not exist.
A sense of panic began to rise in Gu Yang's heart. He didn't know where he was, nor did he know how to leave.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Where is this place?"
He tried to make some sound, to shout loudly, but the sound seemed to be absorbed by the pure white the moment it came out, without causing any echo.
Gu Yang stopped, closed his eyes, and tried to use his spiritual sense to perceive the surrounding environment.
However, his spiritual consciousness fell on deaf ears and received no response.
"Where exactly is this place?" Gu Yang muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.
He randomly picked a direction and tried to move forward, taking every step carefully, for fear of missing a step or bumping into some invisible obstacle.
However, no matter how far he walked, the surrounding scenery did not change at all, and it was still an endless expanse of pure white.
Gu Yang began to feel anxious. He didn't know how long he had been walking or how far he had walked. This pure white seemed to have no end.
Just when Gu Yang was about to despair, a sudden change appeared before his eyes.
In this pure white world, a small black dot appeared.
Gu Yang's heart started beating violently, he quickened his pace and walked towards the black spot.
As the distance got closer, the black dot gradually grew larger and eventually turned into a black portal, standing quietly in the pure white world.
Gu Yang stood in front of the gate, his heart full of doubts.
Where did this portal come from?
Where does it lead?
Should he step into this portal?
Countless questions swirled in his mind, but he knew that he had no other choice.
He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and stepped into the portal.
The moment Gu Yang stepped into the portal, he felt a powerful force surrounding him. His body was pulled by this force, constantly spinning and twisting.
He wanted to struggle, but found that he could not move at all. He could only let this force control him, his heart filled with helplessness and fear.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yang felt that the force disappeared and his body stopped spinning.
He opened his eyes and found himself back in the pure white world again.
But this time, a path paved with black stone bricks appeared in front of him, winding forward, seemingly leading to some unknown destination.
Gu Yang stood up and dusted himself off. Although his heart was still full of doubts, he no longer had the panic he had before.
Since you don’t know where your destination is, just keep walking forward, you will always find something.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then stepped firmly onto the path, heading towards the unknown future.
Hu Qing in his body was almost dying of anxiety. He woke up a long time ago, even earlier than Gu Yang.
But when he woke up, he found himself trapped inside Gu Yang's body, unable to make any sound or move.
He tried everything but couldn't contact Gu Yang. He could only watch Gu Yang walking aimlessly alone.
