Chapter 2079 - 1651: Deep Within the Divine Mountain, Misty Prohibition

Gu Changsheng, despite suffering greatly beneath the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms and enduring torment to climb up, is truly in good spirits.

To be honest, even though she fainted several times from pain, in the end, Gu Changsheng had a good night’s sleep, didn’t she?

Therefore, compared to her own evildoer and others, Gu Changsheng’s spirits are indeed quite good!

Forcibly demanding Zhou Mu and others to each drink a bowl of Calming Soup, fortunately, they are right by the edge of the Broken Cliff and assumed no one would pass through at this time, so they weren’t worried about an ambush.

So, one by one they lay on blankets, leaning against stones and tree roots, and began sleeping!

After everyone fell asleep, Gu Changsheng, lying beside Zhou Mu, slowly opened her eyes, watched the sun already setting behind the Western Mountain, observed the moon slowly rise above the treetops, and silently stood up...

Baby Jin Bao kicked off the blanket, and Gu Changsheng reached out to cover him, then continued to walk forward...

And the direction Gu Changsheng headed wasn’t elsewhere, but to the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms...

Almost at the instant Gu Changsheng got up, Zhou Mu, asleep, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze following Gu Changsheng’s back, silently sighing...

His little woman...

How unjust fate is; why must she face all this?

Zhou Mu knows better than anyone what his Changsheng desires!

But so what? Fate’s design does not change due to their wills...

She only wishes to be an ordinary person, yet in the end, even such humble hope evaporates...

"Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, do you know you’ve changed my life? Altered the course of my existence?"

Standing at the edge of the Broken Cliff, Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows, looking into the distant dark night, murmured...

Although, until now, Gu Changsheng doesn’t know what exactly happened under the Broken Cliff...

However, she lost her shadow...

Simultaneously, she became uninjurable, wouldn’t bleed anymore...

Moreover, even the mark on her forehead changed, and the Power of Demon Control began to awaken within her...

All these transformations, Gu Changsheng doesn’t know what they will bring to her future life...

Yet mystically, Gu Changsheng seems to feel that everything has veered off the predetermined path, growing increasingly distant from the life she desires...

And she herself, without the right to choose, can only passively accept.

Fortunately, Gu Changsheng is an optimist; even if worrying unnecessarily, she doesn’t worry too long and turns back to Zhou Mu’s side, curling up in his arms to sleep again!

"Whatever, at least I’m still alive; as long as I’m alive, there’s hope, and I can still do what I want!"

Comforting herself thus, Gu Changsheng slowly closed her eyes.

Behind her, Zhou Mu shook his head, slowly reached out, wrapping his arm around her waist.

Gu Changsheng knew her evildoer had awoken upon her rising; noticing his small gesture, she unconsciously leaned closer to him, absorbing the warmth from his body...

The night silently passed, the two embraced, as if this way they could warm each other for the rest of their lives.

When the sun rose again, after the mountain chickens crowed in Divine Mount Qilian, Gu Changsheng opened her eyes...

And Yuan Bao and others stretched their waists, began preparing breakfast!

No matter how it was, Yuan Bao won’t allow Gu Changsheng to partake in breakfast preparation, and Gu Changsheng didn’t insist on seizing Yuan Bao’s task, just watched Yuan Bao and Duo Shu busying themselves with Youngster Linchuan and Baby Jin Bao!

Finding a spot out of sight, changing her clothes anew, Gu Changsheng pondered but ultimately decided to wash her face!

Only, standing before the basin, Gu Changsheng hesitated...

From now on, there will be no reflection of herself in the water!

And those customary feminine rituals of adorning oneself before the mirror, have bid farewell to Gu Changsheng forever!

Not knowing why, thinking of this, Gu Changsheng feels a bit of inner pain!

Being a woman, unable to see her own appearance, honestly feels quite redundant!

"Don’t worry, you’ve always been beautiful!"

Zhou Mu’s figure conveniently appeared beside Gu Changsheng, wetting the brocade handkerchief and handing it to her, whispering softly.

"Hehe..." Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but chuckle at his words, glanced at Zhou Mu, and said teasingly, "I was right, you’re really like an Intestinal Worm!"

Knowing even what she’s thinking, this man truly is impressive!

Gu Changsheng still accepted the handkerchief, washed up a bit, and then tidied herself, speaking casually, "I suppose we won’t encounter anyone for a while, so we don’t need to disguise ourselves just yet. We’ll dress up once we meet a living soul!"

Finally, she could reveal her true face, and this feeling was quite nice. At the very least, Gu Changsheng could see her evildoer’s Divine Residence-like face again, and see Shi Wujue’s stunningly sinister expression, instead of just a dark silhouette!

This feeling was really quite delightful!

After a simple breakfast, they started packing their bags again to continue forward. Unsurprisingly, the Soul-Devouring Python once again played the role of porter, because the mountain paths became even harder to navigate, with even the Witch Gu Horse unable to pass, showcasing the advantages of the python’s snake-like form!

What’s good about snakes?

A snake’s body is flexible!

Those tree gaps that Witch Gu Horses couldn’t squeeze through, our Soul-Devouring Python could slip through by just twisting its flexible waist, right?

Though it sounds simple, dragging a heap of things made the Python walk with a grudge!

However, its Feeder couldn’t sense its resentment...

"This is the trouble with taking shortcuts. I’ve said it before, someone as unlucky as me, trying to save time by taking shortcuts, only ends up with setbacks. We’ve lingered for so long at the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms. I’m afraid that Jin Luoyi and the others have already reached the depths of the Divine Mount Qilian from the continent, unaware of whether they can find the Divine Weapon Forging Tower!" As Gu Changsheng swayed while traversing between towering trees, she complained.

She didn’t want Jin Luoyi to reach the Divine Weapon Forging Tower before her, but it seemed they had wasted too much time and things might not go as she intended.

"Probably not. Originally, we could have arrived four or five days earlier than them, but now, with our five-day delay, we should arrive at the mountain as they do! As for the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, Ghost knows where that thing is, it’s not so easily found?" Baby Jin Bao responded, sticking his head out of Yuan Bao’s embrace.

But at that moment, Gu Changsheng let out a cry of surprise.

It turned out that while she was talking and walking, she carelessly got scratched on the face by a stray branch.

Gu Changsheng clutched her face and turned back awkwardly, her mouth twitching uncontrollably, "Do you know what I really want to do now?"

"What?" Yuan Bao immediately asked upon hearing.

"Find a Demon-Revealing Mirror!" Gu Changsheng pouted, looking displeased, "Heavens know, not allowing a woman to look in the mirror is like stripping her of her identity, unable to see what she looks like! Evildoer, come check my face, is it red from the scratch?"

Zhou Mu shook his head helplessly and reassured, "No!"

Though she was told it was red, there wasn’t a trace left!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng was somewhat relieved, yet still felt incredibly strange, "I think if those who spent their lives practicing that futile Vajra Body Iron Cloth Divine Skill saw me, they’d likely burst into tears!"

"Think about it, people exhaust effort and soul to master fire- and water-resistant skills. And here I am, having gained them by just falling off a cliff. Comparing this with others, isn’t it infuriating?"

Gu Changsheng’s words instantly received everyone’s unanimous eyeroll.

What do you call this?

This is called taking advantage and acting coy!

Indeed, that’s the kind of person Gu Changsheng is!

The mountain paths were becoming more treacherous, with rampant branches and thorns everywhere. Even if the group was cautious, a scratch here and a scrape there was inevitable, leaving them looking somewhat ragged!

Yet Gu Changsheng was like an unaffected person, not only unhurt, but without a single hair out of place!

It really left the others speechless!

"Alright, I’ve made up my mind, definitely need to find a Demon-Revealing Mirror, at least to continue experiencing the feeling of looking in the mirror! Then find something that can kill me, just in case I truly become a demon!"

Though strange, these words were Gu Changsheng’s greatest hope at the moment, apart from reviving her parents!

Everyone else thinks about how to live well, but from now on, Gu Changsheng dedicates herself to finding something that can allow her to die well!

No choice, knowing Undying and Unhurt body brings its own troubles, who can tell her how to deal with this?

As the group continued to advance deeper into the Divine Mount Qilian, wild beasts became increasingly frequent in the dense woods, significantly slowing their progress. However, sparsely appearing beasts posed no threat to Gu Changsheng’s party; dealing with them was effortless!

Thus, on the third day, the disheveled group finally arrived before a towering mountain, where Baby Jin Bao pointed solemnly to the majestic mountain that suddenly appeared ahead, saying, "This is the deepest part of Divine Mount Qilian, and the surrounding mist can thwart everyone’s spying..."
