Chapter 1334 It turns out that the old friend is her
"He is the Holy Son of the Spirit Clan of this generation, born with an exquisite heart. Possessing this item brings him considerable fortune, but the world only knows one side of the story. If the host of the exquisite heart is willing, then this item can help others improve their cultivation, regardless of any bottlenecks. The extent of the improvement depends on the other party's aptitude and potential."
"In other words, he cut out his heart and gave it to you when you were refining the Phoenix Blood Essence. How far you can reach after waking up depends entirely on your ability."
"And—" Tiandao added: "There are no side effects, and it won't shake the foundation."
As we all know, drastically improving one's cultivation in a short period of time can easily lead to an unstable foundation.
Therefore, every step of the direct disciples' cultivation was steady and cautious, and even auxiliary pills were rarely used actively.
Upon hearing this suddenly, Gu Xia, who had not seen much of the world, subconsciously opened his mouth wide.
"I knew you wouldn't be so kind as to give me a cheat." Tiandao heard her mumble this in a low voice.
"..."
It is true that you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.
After Gu Xia muttered that sentence in a low voice, he squatted down with a complicated expression.
She didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
Mu Qingzhou actually gave her his heart.
To be honest, this idea was largely a gamble, and was no different from her previous attempt at self-destruction.
It's just that at that time she was 90% sure that nothing would really happen to her, but Mu Qingzhou was different.
Without a heart, one can really die.
She could feel the slight beating of the wood spirit essence that continuously supplied life force in the other person's chest where the heart used to be.
The reason why Mu Qingzhou was able to hold on until now and still have breath left was entirely due to the essence of the wood spirit and the powerful healing ability of his own top-grade wood spirit roots.
But this is only temporary.
When the wood essence has exhausted all his strength, the only outcome waiting for him is death.
Gu Xia originally thought that she was crazy enough, but she didn't expect that he was almost as crazy.
To be honest, the moment she saw the other person, she also recalled her past memories.
No wonder when the young man first arrived at Taiyi Sect, he suddenly called me "old friend" without any context.
It turns out that the old friend is her.
As for the gift, it was naturally his exquisite heart.
Just because she had saved Mu Qingzhou once.
At that time, Gu Xia sneaked into Qingyun Sect with the intention of dying together with Qu Yimian, but he failed in the end.
Before leaving, she created some chaos and took the opportunity to rescue Mu Qingzhou who was hidden by the other party.
At that time, Mu Qingzhou had just had his heart removed and was almost in a dying state.
Maybe good luck finally favored him.
Gu Xia made full preparations to kill Qu Yimian but failed. In the end, he took Mu Qingzhou away and also took the other's exquisite heart from her.
She still remembers Qu Yimian's angry scream behind her, which almost blew the roof off.
The more devastated she screamed, the faster Gu Xia ran.
Even though he was injured, he didn't intend to leave the people and things to her, and he was determined to make things difficult for Qu Yimian if he couldn't kill her.
By chance, Mu Qingzhou didn't end up getting a box lunch.
In fact, the two had met several times before. When Mu Qingzhou first came to the world of cultivation, although their relationship was not good, when Gu Xia saw an acquaintance in trouble, he still rescued the person.
So fate is really a wonderful thing.
In that life, she saved Mu Qingzhou.
This time the other party helped with his life.
But this ending is a bit too heavy.
Gu Xia wanted to improve his skills and kill Qu Yimian because there was a life-and-death feud between the two of them that spanned two lifetimes.
But if this realm was achieved at the cost of Mu Qingzhou's life, Gu Xia felt that he might feel guilty.
She felt that she was not a person with a particularly high sense of morality. After all, Gu Xia usually liked to stab people in the back, and the things he did probably could not be considered moral in the eyes of others.
But there was no way to accept Mu Qingzhou's death with peace of mind.
Everyone has a bright future, so there is no need to sacrifice his life because of Qu Yimian.
Not worth it.
After experiencing the self-explosion, Gu Xia finally understood that it is actually very remarkable for a person to be able to live a peaceful life.
So she asked Tiandao seriously, "Is there any way to save him?"
There's no need to think about dissecting the heart, let alone anything else. Just that thing doesn't match.
Besides, Gu Xia was not very clear about what means Mu Qingzhou used to give him his heart.
She only has one heart, so it definitely cannot be opened.
Gu Xia didn't want to seek death, or challenge the record of how long a person can live without a heart in the cultivation world, so the best way was to ask the heaven directly.
She always felt that when the other party mentioned this matter just now, he didn't seem surprised, as if he already knew everything.
"You want to save him?"
"Don't waste your time." Tiandao's voice was calm. "He has come to this point only because he owes you karma. If you hadn't taken action, he would have died in Qingyun Sect in his previous life."
"I once asked him about his wishes. He entered into this game willingly. We've returned to the beginning together. Now, he can be considered to have repaid the karma."
Tiandao's tone contained a hint of warning, "Gu Xia, you should understand."
"Fate is determined and cannot be forced."
Gu Xia looked at Mu Qingzhou lying on the ground and didn't say anything for a while.
Calculate the heavens, the earth, and the hearts of people.
It is worthy of being called Heaven’s Way.
Mu Qingzhou's situation is similar to hers. If she can reach a deal with the Heavenly Dao, the other party may not be unable to do so.
The possibility of killing Qu Yimian was right in front of them, and Tiandao had calculated that neither of them could refuse. So even though he knew that he was burdened with karmic entanglements, Mu Qingzhou still chose to join the game without hesitation.
But this is not surprising. She would not refuse if it happened to her.
However, facing Tiandao's words, Gu Xia seemed not to understand the warning. He suddenly smiled and said, "Who can predict the fate of a person?"
Is fate already determined?
But she insisted.
"what?"
Tiandao didn't quite understand what she said.
Gu Xia did not intend to answer him. Instead, she stood up, put her hands behind her back and walked a few steps casually. She looked so leisurely that if you didn't know her, you would think this was her back garden.
"Since we're talking about fate, why don't we take this opportunity to have a good chat?" Gu Xia changed the subject and continued slowly, "Although we made a deal, it was you who made a mistake during the implementation process, which caused part of my soul to wander to other places and almost never come back."
"Am I right about this?"
Tiandao: "...Indeed."
Gu Xia blinked, "Then if we calculate according to cause and effect, do you also owe me one?"
There was nothing wrong with the transaction, but there was something wrong with the way of heaven when the transaction was implemented. He could not deny this.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Gu Xia curled his lips: "I don't mean anything, I just have one request, use the time you owe me in exchange for Mu Qingzhou's life."
"Well? Isn't this request too much?"
