I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Disciple Gu Ping'an greets the two mistresses!"

On the other side, as soon as Gu Xiu and the other two returned to the courtyard, they saw a cute girl with fair skin and delicate features, wearing a small pale yellow cultivation robe and two little pigtails, bowing respectfully and meticulously.

It's clear the little girl wanted to act formally, but the curiosity and liveliness in her big eyes added a touch of liveliness and cuteness to the formality.

The little girl's appearance delighted Chu Xiangling and Mu Nange.

"You must be Xiao Ping'an, right? You have such a sweet tongue, hehehe, that's a nice way to address your master's wife. Here, before I came here, I prepared a gift for you, a kaleidoscope lantern specially prepared for you by your master's wife." Chu Xiangling took out a small lantern decorated with countless flowers. Just by taking it out, one could feel the extraordinary aura emanating from it, clearly a priceless treasure.

Mu Nange didn't say much, but at this moment, a hint of gentleness appeared on his usually cold face. He took out a spirit sword from his bosom and handed it to her: "Ping An, this is the Ice Green Sword, I'm giving it to you."

One word: "Master's wife".

They immediately received gifts from the two supreme beings.

Little Ping'an was quite obedient; she didn't accept the gift immediately, but instead secretly glanced at Gu Xiu. Only after Gu Xiu nodded slightly did she happily accept the gift.

"Thank you, Master's wives. This lamp is so beautiful, just as beautiful as you two. And this Ice Green Sword, Little Ping An loves it!"

"Ping An, how did you know we were your master's wives? Did your master tell you?" Chu Xiangling asked with a smile.

"No." Xiao Ping'an shook her head, but before Chu Xiangling could feel disappointed, the little girl said again, "Xiao Ping'an is so smart. Before Master even had a chance to tell you, Xiao Ping'an already knew. Both of Master's wives are as beautiful as fairy sisters, so they must be Master's wives!"

"Little Ping An, as a cultivator, you shouldn't care too much about your appearance. Strength is the most important thing, you know?" Mu Nange said from the side. Although it seemed like a warning, her little mouth couldn't help but keep turning up.

“What Master’s wife said is right, but Xiao Ping’an doesn’t think it’s entirely right either.”

"Oh?"

“For cultivators, strength is indeed the most important thing, but it’s rare to find someone like my two mistresses who is both powerful and beautiful. They are extremely rare!” Xiao Ping’an said earnestly, making Chu and Mu smile again.

It's hard not to like such a well-behaved little girl. At least, Chu and Mu, who were meeting Xiao Ping'an for the first time, became very familiar with her in a very short time. Afterwards, they even left Gu Xiu behind and took Xiao Ping'an out to play.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xiu felt helpless about Xiao Ping'an's current changes, but he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

Just then, a voice came: "If I'm not mistaken, this little girl's childhood must have been difficult, and her foundation may have even been damaged. However... since she is your disciple, her future achievements are probably limitless."

Gu Xiu looked in the direction of the voice and immediately bowed, saying, "Greetings, Supreme Lord Wangyue."

The newcomer was none other than the previous generation's number one expert in the world.

The Supreme One Gazing at the Moon.

He did not shy away from Gu Xiu's bow and accepted it generously. Then he went straight to the point and said, "I promised Yin Ruozhuo that I have come to give you an opportunity. If you are lucky, you may be able to light the last lamp before you leave."

"Thank you for the opportunity, senior, but I..."

"Are you saying that one should not accept rewards without merit?"

Gu Xiu nodded.

“I’m about to die, and before I die I have to find a way to contribute something. If I don’t give it to you, this opportunity will just disappear into the world anyway. Since that’s the case, I might as well give it to you, as it can be considered a good deed.”

As he spoke, the Moon-Gazing Immortal casually flipped his wrist.

All of a sudden.

On his palm appeared a flame that resembled the radiance of moonlight. The flame seemed weak, yet it seemed to be absorbing the power of heaven and earth. Gu Xiu even felt that the surrounding spiritual energy had become more active and energetic.

"This is the Moonlit Spirit Flame that I once refined myself. It is not considered an innate divine fire, but it is no weaker than any innate divine fire, because it consumed eight kinds of divine fire just to form this fire. This fire has an extremely strong ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, especially when it is bathed in moonlight, the effect is even more powerful."

“I can sense that you possess an even more powerful divine fire, but you don’t seem to intend to use it. In that case, this fire might be of use to you.”

As the Supreme Being of the Moon spoke, he handed the ball of divine fire to Gu Xiu.

Even so, Gu Xiu still refused, shaking his head: "Senior wishes to spar with the Sword Saint. Since this fire is a divine primordial fire refined by Senior, if I were to give it away, I'm afraid..."

"Do you think my strength will be affected without this divine fire?" Before Gu Xiu could finish speaking, the Moon Gazing Supreme burst into laughter:

"My strength is no longer affected by giving away even a little bit of my essence. Besides, this fire was only created by me by gathering my essence in order to find a way out. It is actually of no use to me anymore. Giving it to you is just right."

Without giving Gu Xiu a chance to refuse, the Moon Gazing Supreme casually guided the small flame into Gu Xiu's body.

He was not given a chance to refuse at all.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu stopped being coy and respectfully bowed to thank the senior for the opportunity. However, his mind was also drawn to what the senior had just said: "Senior, you just said that you refined this Moon Essence Flame to find a way out? I wonder... what kind of way out are you talking about?"

"You're very clever; you must have guessed something by now, right?" Supreme Lord Wangyue laughed.

"I had some premonitions, but they weren't accurate. However, after seeing you, senior, I'm more certain about a certain premonition."

"Oh? What's your premonition?"

"Senior is not like other Supreme Immortal Puppets, who would abandon their dignity for the sake of so-called immortality and survival. Moreover, given Senior's strength, it seems unnecessary for them to do so. Senior did not accept their time limit upon reaching it, but instead became an Immortal Puppets. This should not be just for the sake of survival, but for some other purpose."

"You are very perceptive."

The Supreme Being of the Moon couldn't help but sigh, then nodded: "You're right, I do have other purposes. Would you like to know what my purpose is?"

"Please give me some advice, senior."

"I want to find the lost realm."

The tone of the Moon Gazing Supreme was tinged with melancholy, but to Gu Xiu it was like a bolt from the blue, causing his pupils to dilate suddenly. He looked at the Moon Gazing Supreme in disbelief, even doubting for a moment.

Did I hear it wrong?

What is meant by...the realm of disappearance?

Seeing his confusion, the Moon Gazing Supreme was not surprised. He smiled and asked, "Tell me, to you, is the Supreme strong?"

"...I can't explain it."

"Then speak freely."

"The difference in strength among Supreme Beings seems to be quite significant." Gu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Some Supreme Beings are easily defeated, while others are extremely powerful. However, this difference also exists between geniuses and ordinary cultivators of the same realm, so it should be considered normal, right?"

"It's true that geniuses and ordinary cultivators are normal, but do you think it's reasonable that your strength is enough to kill a Supreme Being?"

This time, Gu Xiu was at a loss for words.

If you think it's unreasonable, with so many secrets and opportunities he has, it's not surprising that he has fought against opponents of higher levels along the way. Moreover, most of the time when he killed Supreme Beings, there were other factors involved. If you think about it, it's reasonable.

But if you want to say it's reasonable...

That's the supreme being!

Even the Heavenly Dao erected a supreme statue for him, and his death was accompanied by the tolling of a death knell. He had always been recognized as the strongest being, yet he was able to be killed by someone who had somehow crossed two major stages out of thin air...

Sometimes Gu Xiu himself doubted whether some of those high-ranking supreme beings were actually quite incompetent.

"The Supreme Being represents the will of heaven and earth, and even more so, the pinnacle of this world. In fact, the number of Supreme Beings in ancient times was only one or two tenths of that in today's world, but their strength far surpassed that of the current Supreme Beings."

"When I reached the Supreme Realm, I had a vague feeling about this."

"After becoming the Supreme Being, this feeling became even stronger. Because of this, I have always been pursuing the truth and trying to see through all the causes and effects."

“I spent a lot of time and paid a heavy price.”

"And in the end, I came to a guess."

Even knowing what the other person was going to say, Gu Xiu was still somewhat incredulous: "Wh...what guess?"

But the Supreme Being of the Moon looked serious:

"Haoyu".

"A realm may have disappeared!"
