Chapter 128: Leaving the Kunlun Mountains
Watching Tang Hao’s figure disappear into the distance, Jun Wu Xiao thought:
"Well, that guy knows how to endure. He’s young but has a well-trained mind. However, I think he won’t hold a grudge against Gu Zhou Jian. His love for her is immense, but unfortunately, she doesn’t like him. Actually, with her personality, it’s hard for her to like him. She wants to go far on the path of cultivation. If it weren’t for me being much stronger than her, she wouldn’t pay any attention to me either."
"What do you think he’s planning to do next?" he asked.
He no longer referred to him as a "kid" because he now genuinely respected Tang Hao, not seeing him as a child anymore.
Gu Zhou Jian thought for a moment. With what she knew about him over the years, it was highly likely that his target wasn’t her. She said:
"I think he won’t harm me, or at least he won’t seriously injure me. But as for you, I think he’ll find a way to kill you."
She knew Tang Hao was someone who acted decisively and rationally. The last part of their conversation had made this clear.
Although he was extremely angry, he could still smile outwardly. He also understood his current position well. Although he had the right to use many types of devastating weapons, he couldn’t use them right now.
He knew he was in a disadvantageous position, so he decided to bow his head and leave. As long as he could leave, he would have a chance to become the final victor.
It’s just a pity that the person standing in front of him wasn’t a bone-forging realm cultivator but a genuine energy-gathering realm cultivator. Even if he pulled out those weapons, he might not be able to hit Jun Wu Xiao.
When Jun Wu Xiao heard that someone wanted to kill him, instead of being afraid, he laughed:
"Ha ha ha, if he dares to have that thought, then at least he must have a way to kill a bone-forging realm cultivator. But I think he might have a way to kill even a peak-stage bone-forging realm cultivator. This is quite interesting. Either he knows many strong cultivators, or he has strong enough modern weapons. Either way, I look forward to seeing humanity’s development in weaponry after a hundred years."
Gu Zhou Jian felt that he was underestimating modern weapons. She said:
"I think you’d better be careful. Otherwise, don’t blame me if you end up dead stupidly."
Jun Wu Xiao frowned at this and asked:
"Are modern weapons really that terrifying?"
"Hmm, as I see it, you and elder sister must be among the Guardian Gods. Back in the day, the explosives you used were nothing compared to modern bombs. Moreover, there’s the atomic bomb, a true weapon of destruction. But its biggest drawback is environmental destruction, and it would take decades to recover from its aftermath." Gu Zhou Jian explained.
However, Jun Wu Xiao, upon hearing this, was not frightened but rather delighted. He laughed and said:
"Ha ha ha, truly worthy of humanity. Good, this way, humanity will definitely be safe for a short time."
Gu Zhou Jian frowned at this, his attitude was not what she had expected. But more importantly, why did he say ’for a short time’? She asked:
"Why do you say humanity will be safe for a short time?"
He was not surprised by her question. After all, humans in that era did not have anyone strong enough to realize that monsters were merely creations of someone.
They also didn’t want to reveal this to the public to avoid causing panic. If humanity risked everything to defeat a powerful enemy, they would have more confidence in their development. But if they were told they were only defeating a little minion of the enemy, it would surely lead to extreme despair.
"Because monsters are just creations of someone. I just broke through to the energy gathering realm and can sense the presence of dark energy. I’ve also discovered that the core of the monsters is a large amount of dark energy compressed into a sphere. The one capable of doing this must be very powerful." he explained.
Gu Zhou Jian was extremely shocked upon hearing this news. She had always thought that humanity’s true enemy was the monsters, but things were not so simple. She said:
"If that’s the case, then the atomic bomb really isn’t enough to protect humanity forever. But that’s not important. Humanity is developing very quickly. Over time, they will surely create something strong enough to protect themselves."
"I believe so too. Humanity is an excellent species. As long as they overcome the basic animal instincts, they will completely surpass all other species on the planet. Over time, they will become a higher-level species. I think there will come a day when humanity truly has the right to stand at the pinnacle of the universe." Jun Wu Xiao nodded and said.
Gu Zhou Jian looked up at the sky. Although it was daytime and no stars were visible, countless stars and planets were still out there. Could humanity really reach the pinnacle of such a vast universe one day? Perhaps that day would indeed come if humanity did not go extinct.
"Alright, let’s go have some fun. I’ll show you a bit of the modern world." she said, pulling him along.
But she suddenly stopped because her car was on the cliff, and she said:
"Can you take me up there? My car is up there, and it would take a long time to walk up."
Jun Wu Xiao nodded, then picked her up and jumped straight up the cliff. In a brief moment, a tremendous force acted on her body, making it hard for her to breathe.
If she hadn’t regularly trained, she might have fainted. Jun Wu Xiao saw her gasping for air and was puzzled, not understanding why she was like that.
For him, he did feel the pressure, but it was just like a gentle breeze. After all, his body had broken through many times already. And now he doesn’t even need oxygen anymore because he doesn’t breathe and lives entirely on dark energy.
"Hey, what’s wrong? Are you okay?" he asked.
Gu Zhou Jian nodded and said:
"I’m fine. But next time, if you plan to jump, let me know in advance so I can brace myself. The pressure is intense, and I’m not even a cultivator."
Jun Wu Xiao felt a bit embarrassed hearing that and said:
"Well... you can’t really blame me for that. It just feels like a light breeze to me."
Gu Zhou Jian put on her helmet, sat on the motorcycle, and said:
"Alright, I don’t blame you. I just blame myself for being too weak. Hurry up and get on."
But he noticed that he didn’t have a helmet like hers and asked:
"Is it okay that I don’t have a helmet?"
"It’s not a big deal, wearing a helmet is a personal choice. If you crash and die, it’s only the fault of the person not wearing a helmet. Besides, if your head hits the road, the road would be damaged, not your head. So why bother wearing one?" Gu Zhou Jian said.
