Chapter 1581

He thought about it and extended his Divine Sense. Soon, he found that there were many companions in the starry sky not far away.

After successfully subduing the major worlds, considering that the civil strife had been quelled and the biggest threat might come from the outside world, many of the companions of the Tyrant County rushed to Gu Chen's side to guard the border together.

Seeing that Gu Chen had sunk into a deep level of cultivation, they did not dare to disturb him. Instead, they guarded and cultivated in the distance.

Now that Gu Chen had gathered the great luck of the three counties, all his companions would get twice the result with half the effort when they cultivated by his side. Over the past year, many of them had made great progress in their cultivation, and some had even broken through their bottlenecks.

Looking at his companions who were cultivating hard, Gu Chen sighed inwardly. He had made the right bet back then.

He personally guarded the border, hoping to intimidate the Dao Lords from all sides and buy time for the Tyrant County to develop.

Over the past year, the border had been peaceful. The Dao Lords of the hundred counties seemed to be mute and had forgotten about his existence, which made him very satisfied.

Of course, this did not mean that the Tyrant County was really safe. Before breaking through the current bottleneck and stepping into the Dao Severing Realm, Gu Chen had always been wary, especially of the Dao Lords who were targeting him.

Fortunately, the territories of those Dao Lords were very far away from him. If a large army came to the border, he would have enough time to react.

Not wanting to disturb his companions' cultivation, Gu Chen took a step and escaped without anyone noticing. After a few breaths, he arrived on a life planet!

The reason why he came here was that his Divine Sense had just sensed that Wu Ming was here.

When he arrived at the border, only Wu Ming accompanied Gu Chen. However, as the border settled down and his companions returned one after another, Wu Ming left on his own and went into seclusion on this planet.

Gu Chen had now encountered a bottleneck. In a situation where he could not find an answer after thinking hard, he thought that communicating with Wu Ming might be able to answer his doubts.

Wu Ming had once reached the Dao Severing Realm and had rich life experience. He could be considered a good teacher and helpful friend to Gu Chen. Every time he communicated with him, he would benefit a lot.

Shortly after, Gu Chen arrived at Wu Ming's residence on the life star. He had built some thatched cottages by the clear lake. They were simple but stylish.

As soon as he arrived, Gu Chen felt that everything around him was full of vitality. Every blade of grass, tree, and stone seemed to have their own breath.

Gu Chen's eyes revealed a strange look as if he was deep in thought.

Gu Chen did not deliberately hide his aura, so Wu Ming quickly sensed it and walked out of the cottage.

"Leader, you've finally come out of seclusion. You must've improved a lot, right?"

Wu Ming greeted him with a smile. His back was still hunched and he looked old.

Gu Chen saw that he didn't look any different from before, but the strange look in his eyes deepened.

"I'm afraid that my progress is nothing compared to yours!"

Gu Chen looked at it for a long time before he suddenly laughed meaningfully. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"It's true that the Old Man's competence can't hide from you, Leader." Wu Ming didn't deny it. He just smiled and complimented.

"Don't try to fool me. With the uniqueness of your Nirvana Source, if you don't want me to know about this, then you'll be like a lamp that's extinguished after you die. I won't be able to see through it at all." Gu Chen shook his head.

Wu Ming didn't deny it. He invited Gu Chen to drink tea by the lake and they started to talk.

"Leader, you came to see the Old Man. You seem to have something on your mind?" Wu Ming quickly understood Gu Chen's mind.

Gu Chen nodded. "I do have some doubts. I hope you can answer them for me, Wu Ming."

"Just tell me."

Gu Chen then told Wu Ming about the bottleneck he had encountered and his doubts. After listening to him, Wu Ming didn't look surprised at all.

"Looks like you can give me the answer I want, Wu Ming." Seeing Wu Ming's expression, Gu Chen looked expectant.

"Leader, in fact, every Taoist Lord has experienced the doubts you have now. The Old Man can indeed tell you the answer."

Wu Ming smiled kindly and changed the topic. "However, the important thing is not the answer, but the process of finding the answer. Since the Old Man said so, do you still want the Old Man to answer your doubts? "

The important thing is not the answer, but the process?

After listening, Gu Chen fell into deep thought.

Wu Ming didn't want to say it directly because he was stingy to share his experience with him. The process of finding the answer might have a great impact on his future cultivation.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen shook his head.

It seemed that he had to figure out the answer himself.

Therefore, the two avoided this topic and talked about other things.

"We still haven't found Sky Shadow Sha Luoman and the General Devil Mountain in Xing County. I'm afraid they have already left Xing County."

Wu Ming mentioned the remaining forces in Xing County. When Ba County decided to conquer Xing County, the remaining forces in Xing County were naturally a big enemy.

In the situation where Xing Dao Lord's life was uncertain, Sha Luoman, as the head of Sky Shadow, naturally became the highest leader. She was also a hidden danger that Ba County had to eliminate.

Unfortunately, they seemed to have sensed the danger in advance. Before Ba County sent troops to besiege Xing County, Sha Luoman and the remaining cultivators in Xing County had disappeared. They hadn't been found until now.

"Sha Luoman doesn't pose much of a threat. It's fine if you can't find her. There's no need to waste more manpower. The most important thing is the whereabouts of the White-haired Demon Lord. Have our people found any clues? "

Gu Chen didn't care about Sha Luoman at all. He turned to talk about the White-haired Demon Lord with a solemn expression.

The White-haired Demon Lord was inextricably linked to him and the Tyrants. Judging from the battle between him and Xing Dao Lord, he was still looking for him.

Gu Chen wanted to try and find his whereabouts. Not only could this answer many of his doubts, but it could also confirm whether Xing Dao Lord was really dead.

"There are no clues. This is strange. Logically speaking, if the White-haired Demon Lord was looking for you, leader, even if we didn't look for him, he should have appeared long ago." Wu Ming sighed regretfully. He wanted to meet a person who could kill Xing Dao Lord and possibly come from the Primordial Dao World, even if it was dangerous.

"This matter is indeed puzzling."

Gu Chen frowned. There was no authoritative statement on the outcome of the battle between the White-haired Demon Lord and Xing Dao Lord.

The two of them continued chatting. They talked about the situation in the various realms under Ba County's rule and the situation in the Chaos Sea. Just as they were engrossed in their conversation, Feng Yaya suddenly descended from the sky.

"Uncle Gu, you just came out of seclusion and disappeared. You didn't even inform me. I spent a long time looking for you." For some reason, Feng Yaya looked a little unhappy as she muttered.

"Did something happen?"

Gu Chen couldn't help but ask. If there was nothing, Feng Yaya wouldn't be in a hurry to look for him.

"Your little lover is looking for you. Hurry up and receive her," Feng Yaya said with a pout.

"Little lover?"

Gu Chen and Wu Ming looked at each other. They didn't know who she was referring to and were confused.

"Do you know Chu Meixin from the Sword Commandery? She said that Uncle Gu, you saved her life. She wants to see you no matter what, "Feng Yaya said with a straight face.

"Chu Meixin?"

Gu Chen was surprised. "It's her?"
