Chapter 2066: The Sheer Cliff, Climbing Up 1

Gu Changsheng comfortably stretched lazily, then slowly blinked her long eyelashes, waking up just like she usually did in her own bed…

However, upon waking up, Gu Changsheng realized something was wrong!

This feeling wasn’t right!

There was something hard and uncomfortable beneath her body!

Logically, her bed should be soft!

In a daze, she reached out and touched beneath herself. Alright, it was hard…

Gu Changsheng’s just-awoken mind couldn’t figure out where she was for a moment…

Gradually, a hint of clarity emerged in Gu Changsheng’s mind. She seemed to remember falling off the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, and then, what happened?

Then, she seemed to have seen a Crystal Mausoleum, met Ta You, and thereafter, Gu Changsheng couldn’t recall anything. She only remembered not finding the Divine Blood mentioned in that mausoleum and thought of leaving the Broken Cliff. Who would’ve thought, as she walked, she got tired and fell asleep…

After falling asleep, boundless pain rushed toward her. She had once forced herself to open her eyes, only to see an expanse of Holy Gold Color, an eye-searing hue that Gu Changsheng remembered very clearly…

Thinking of that Holy Gold Color, Gu Changsheng’s heart instinctively throbbed with pain for some reason…

The inhumane torture experienced before sleeping was vividly remembered by Gu Changsheng; however, regarding the actual events, Gu Changsheng had no idea, none whatsoever…

Gu Changsheng jumped up from the ground, anxiously patting her body, inspecting herself to see if anything had happened…

Stretching out her hands, Gu Changsheng remembered that her hands had once changed color, morphing into the dazzling Holy Gold Color…

But to her disappointment, as Gu Changsheng raised her hands again, she saw nothing; her hands were as they had always been, slender and alabaster…

“Could it be that I was too much in pain and saw it wrong?”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but lower her head, murmuring to herself…

Honestly, at this moment, Gu Changsheng felt as if her memory was fragmented; she had no clue what happened beneath the Broken Cliff. Everything seemed bizarre and mysterious, giving Gu Changsheng a sense of unreality…

Moreover, that endless pain, the kind Gu Changsheng had never experienced in her life, she now wondered whether she had truly felt such pain, for currently, her body felt very relaxed, as if she’d had a hot spring bath, a relaxation hard to describe…

As a Doctor, Gu Changsheng believed, if she had truly been in such pain, she should be experiencing symptoms all over her body due to the weakness caused by the pain. But, in reality, her body felt even lighter without any discomfort…

“What exactly happened? Could it be that it was all my illusion? Just like a dream?”

Gu Changsheng looked up at the skies above the endless Broken Cliff, her face bewildered, totally at a loss…

She didn’t even know how long she’d been under the Broken Cliff…

Vaguely, Gu Changsheng seemed to think that in the midst of endless pain, she had fainted, woken up, repeatedly, until now…

Gu Changsheng was somewhat uncertain…

Uncertain whether she truly suffered such immense pain…

People often talk of dreams, unpredictable and varied, yet Gu Changsheng had never imagined her dream would lead to such painful scenes. What’s more, she vaguely dreamt of a voice whispering by her ear during her moments of agony, saying, “My daughter, live well, live well…”

That feeling, Gu Changsheng remembered very clearly, she even suspected she might have encountered her mother…

Though rationally, Gu Changsheng knew that was completely impossible…

“I can’t figure it out! Seriously, what kind of ghostly place is this? How should I get out? My evildoers and Shi Wujue and the others might be worried, thinking I’m dead?” With Gu Changsheng’s carefree nature, if she couldn’t figure it out, she’d simply stop thinking about it.

Gu Changsheng harbored an unprecedented obsession with resurrecting her parents, her only persistence across past and present lives. Yet, apart from reviving her parents, Gu Changsheng was quite indifferent, not one to obsess over things…

Just like now, patting her head, unable to comprehend what she’d experienced, and finding nothing amiss with herself, Gu Changsheng immediately decided to abandon it!

Why overthink it? In this world, many people die worrying too much, or end up exhausting themselves!

Gu Changsheng felt that she was a smart person who’d certainly not do such a thing!

She definitely wouldn’t exhaust herself!

Thinking this way, Gu Changsheng immediately understood, then started pondering how to climb back up from this Broken Arm of a Cliff…

Before losing consciousness, Gu Changsheng was right at the edge of the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, facing a towering precipice…

Gu Changsheng looked at the steep cliff and couldn’t help but sigh…

Should I climb it?

Or should I not climb it?

If I don’t climb, I’m destined not to make it up, but if I do climb, it’s uncertain I can survive the climb…

Heaven knows, with such a high cliff, just one slip and falling down would mean being smashed to pieces, a feeling Gu Changsheng doesn’t want to experience…

But I can’t just stay at the bottom of this Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, hesitating forever, can I?

She still remembers her purpose for coming to Divine Mount Qilian, and besides, what has happened to those three people following Jin Luoyi, the ones with hats covering their heads? Gu Changsheng doesn’t know…

“I can’t delay any longer! Damn it, isn’t it just life and death? I’m betting! What storms have I not seen? Am I going to fear merely a steep cliff? Fall if I must, twenty years later, I would still be a wild girlfriend!” Muttering under her breath, Gu Changsheng rubbed her hands, a decision already settled in her mind!

Climb!

She climbs!

Even if there’s a danger of falling, even if there’s a risk of being smashed to pieces, she won’t sit here trapped in despair anymore, she won’t let her evildoer and Shi Wujue keep worrying about her, afraid they’ll do something foolish out of concern for her!

Bet, betting her life!

This is not something Gu Changsheng hasn’t done before, though she’s not a gambler, every time she bet her life, Gu Changsheng never lost, she proved with her existence that troublemakers live longer, she won’t die easily!

So, this time, she will bet again!

Before the towering cliff, with a long breath, Gu Changsheng tied the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp that fell to the side onto her back, then tore her skirt, pulling off a few strips of cloth to wrap around her hands, though not covering the fingertips…

Because she worried, if the whole hand is wrapped, it might reduce her hand’s friction; even betting her life, Gu Changsheng would still consider some basic principles!

Raising her hand, she tested the feel of the protruding small stones on the cliff, feeling these solid stones could entirely support her weight. Only then did Gu Changsheng feel a little relieved, snorted through her nose, looked up briefly, and couldn’t resist giving a little push…

In an instant, Gu Changsheng’s figure shot upwards, soaring several fathoms high…

Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened, constantly enlarging, her face showing a hint of shock…

“Damn it! Scared the hell out of me! What on earth is going on?”

Only when her upward momentum slowed and she began to fall did Gu Changsheng react, grabbing hold of a stone on the cliff to steady herself, looking down with a face full of uncertain surprise glancing down…

She was dumbfounded by the distance she flew from the ground…

Based on her previous cultivation, Gu Changsheng was confident about this little leap – flying three or five fathoms was definitely possible…

But at this moment, ten fathoms above the ground, Gu Changsheng wasn’t so sure…

“Does this mean that the Divine Soul Injury has healed, and I’ve benefited from disaster? Has my cultivation improved as well?” Gu Changsheng blinked her large eyes, the depths full of doubt.

They say there’s a surprise after an accident, and before this surprise is indeed an accident first!

Gu Changsheng never expected that her trip to the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms would yield such unexpected gains; more accurately, she thinks surviving this would already be a huge blessing, let alone improving her cultivation again?

“Is it Ta You? Did he help me?”

Lying flat against the cliff, Gu Changsheng lowered her head, unable to resist glancing again towards the Crystal Ruins…

Ta You said he truly meant to vanish…

So this must be the place where Ta You disappeared, right?

Although, during the journey with the Star Innate Tower, Gu Changsheng did not have fond feelings towards Ta You, but this time, she genuinely received Ta You’s favor, Gu Changsheng is rarely favored by others, at this moment, inexplicably receiving such favor, Gu Changsheng feels she will remember this place, and certainly, she will erect a tombstone for Ta You…

Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng had no time to think of anything else, she couldn’t just hang on the cliff; it’s not proper either, wasting energy, isn’t it?

She better continue climbing!

Thus, Gu Changsheng used her hands and feet, pushing off the cliff again, her figure ascended once more, at the highest point, clutching onto the cliff’s stones, leveraging again…
