Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Breaking Free

Guo Xingyue finally woke up from his meditation, and his injuries had completely healed. His Nascent Soul had also returned to its original state. Guo Xingyue casually threw the depleted green crystal diamond in his hand to the side. If other cultivators knew that Guo Xingyue used green crystal diamonds to heal his injuries, they would definitely beat their chests and curse him as a prodigal son. Although Guo Xingyue also knew that green crystal diamonds were precious, he didn't know exactly how precious they were. Moreover, he didn't have any healing pills on hand, so he could only use green crystal diamonds to make do. This green crystal diamond was originally a wood-attributed crystal, and it did have a miraculous effect on healing injuries. Fortunately, Guo Xingyue still had a lot of them, so he didn't care about the small piece that he had used. Guo Xingyue calculated with his fingers and found that he had actually been in meditation for two cultivation eras. Remembering the scene of his injury, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine: He had barely escaped death. Changmo Sect and Yu Hua, I will never forgive you!

Guo Xingyue carefully observed the place where he was. He found himself in a huge cave. The cave was approximately a hundred zhang in size and more than thirty zhang high. In the center of the cave was a small lake with a diameter of sixty zhang. The surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror. Guo Xingyue extended his spiritual sense into the lake and explored deep into it. Even after reaching a depth of more than thirty zhang, he still couldn't feel the bottom of the lake. This lake was actually bottomless. There were many fish living in the lake. Guo Xingyue thought for a moment and understood: This lake must be connected to the underground river that he had jumped into. He just didn't know how he had come to this lake from the underground river. He also extended his spiritual sense into the cave ceiling. With his current spiritual sense ability, he could explore deep into the ground for twenty zhang, but he found that the distance from the cave ceiling to the ground was far beyond the range of his spiritual sense. It seemed that he couldn't get out through the top. Guo Xingyue also used his spiritual sense to quickly scan the four walls of the cave and didn't find any exits. Should he go through the waterway? No. He didn't even know how he had come in through this waterway. If he went back, what if he got stuck somewhere or was washed deeper into the ground by the water? That would be a big problem.

Guo Xingyue carefully observed the four walls of the cave again and found that the walls were made of hard rocks without a single crack. What should he do? This cave was a completely sealed space, and there were no other exits except for the waterway under the lake. It was too risky to go through the waterway. Sitting here and waiting was not a solution either. Guo Xingyue took a deep breath, released his flying sword, and based on his intuition, he chose the northern wall of the cave as the breakthrough point and launched a full-scale attack on the northern wall. The flying sword struck the northern wall again and again, making a loud bang. Dust flew everywhere, and stones splashed. Guo Xingyue kept attacking and advancing. When his true energy was depleted, he sat down to rest and regulate his breath. When his true energy recovered, he continued the attack. It took him approximately one month to open a slanting upward passage that was nearly a thousand zhang long. Finally, there was no longer anything blocking him in front, and he should be almost at the ground. Guo Xingyue suppressed his excitement, sat down on the ground, and regulated his breath to recover his true energy to deal with the possible risks on the ground. This was a habit he had developed during his assassin career. For the possible dangers, he always tried his best to face them with the best state of mind.

The two rising suns idly projected their sunlight into the mountains and forests, dispelling the morning mist. Dew drops sparkled on the leaves and grass. From time to time, early-rising birds flew back and forth and chirped happily. Large groups of giant horned deer ate grass on the slopes of the mountains. From time to time, short-legged rabbits ran around in the grass. It was a vibrant scene. Suddenly, there was a loud bang not far from the giant horned deer on the hillside. A brilliant light flashed from the ground, and immediately the entire ground was like a boiling pot. Mud and stones flew everywhere, and a deep hole was blasted out on the ground. The giant horned deer that were eating grass panicked and ran away to the distance. The timid short-legged rabbits quickly hid in their holes, and the birds in the forest also stopped chirping. After a moment, a figure flashed out of the deep cave, accompanied by a flying sword. This was Guo Xingyue who had broken free.

Guo Xingyue, who had escaped death, looked around with great interest and found himself at the foot of a mountain. Not far ahead was a small valley. The valley was full of green grass and blooming flowers, and the spiritual energy was abundant. He thought to himself: This is really a good place for cultivation. Although I have broken free, I still can't deal with the experts of Changmo Sect with my current cultivation level. It's better to practice in this valley for a while and improve my realm. After making up his mind, he walked towards the valley with a leisurely pace.

Guo Xingyue walked for a while and suddenly found that he was actually circling in the same place. He could see the valley in front of him, but he couldn't get in. He quickly stopped and focused his spiritual sense. After observing, he found that there was a maze in front of him. This maze was extremely cleverly arranged without any murderous intention, making it impossible for people to detect. Its only purpose was to block the entrance of outsiders. Guo Xingyue, who was already considered a master of arrays at this time, analyzed it for a moment and saw through the mystery of the maze. Guo Xingyue circled around for a while and successfully passed through this maze. But immediately after that, he found himself facing a big array: This array was recorded in the information given by Ye Mingcheng. It was one of the three killer arrays, and Ye Mingcheng only knew the name of this array - Hunyuan Seven Kill Arrays. He didn't know how to set up the array or understand the changes in the array. He only knew the general characteristics of this Hunyuan Seven Kill Arrays. Guo Xingyue looked at this Hunyuan Seven Kill Arrays, and his competitive spirit was immediately aroused. He wanted to see if his array cultivation level could break this array.

Guo Xingyue walked into the array carefully. As soon as he entered the array, the world changed suddenly. It was foggy all around, and the sky was gloomy, making it impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly. Guo Xingyue's spiritual sense had already exceeded his cultivation level and was no worse than that of a cultivation expert at the late Spirit Division stage. But at this time, he could only explore a distance of about one zhang. Beyond that, he was blocked by the array. He thought to himself: This array is so strong that I need to be careful! Guo Xingyue raised his cultivation power to the highest state and walked forward carefully while maintaining a high degree of vigilance. Suddenly, he felt a murderous intention coming from the front. Guo Xingyue immediately stopped and looked at the front with caution.

A huge monster walked out of the mist. It was about three zhang tall, with thick and strong limbs and covered with scales. Its head was huge without horns. It had two copper-bell-sized eyes, and its pupils were actually golden. Its nose was long, like the pig's nose on Pangu Star. It had a big mouth with two fangs, and its ears were relatively small. Guo Xingyue knew that this monster was called Bingxi. It had always lived in extremely cold regions, and its main attacking weapon was the cold current it spat out from its mouth. The temperature of the cold current was extremely low, and even a cultivation expert at the Spirit Division stage couldn't withstand being directly hit by the cold current. This monster appeared here obviously as an illusion created by the array. Although it was an illusion, its attack power was real. As long as it was hit by its cold current, it would be in serious trouble.
