Above all spirits

Chapter 249 The Truth That Fleetingly Appeared

Just as Gu Yun paused to observe, a rough voice caught their attention.

This was a tall, dark-skinned, burly man, accompanied by a rather thin man. The burly man gradually approached Gu Yun and Xiao Li, waving and smiling, his voice deep and resonant.

"This fellow, I suppose he's also heading to Titan to join the fun?"

"Hey hey hey."

He continued, with a touch of enthusiasm.

“We are both at the peak of the Holy Body realm. Without a powerful innate expert leading the way, there are still some risks involved. Why don’t we form a team together and cross this interdimensional gap? Having someone to look after us along the way is much safer than acting alone.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Li, then turned his gaze to Gu Yun, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Huh, young man... you're not even a Holy Body?"

His voice sounded somewhat puzzled, but quickly returned to calm as he offered his reminder.

"Young man, if you're not at the Holy Body level, you won't be able to withstand the spatial turbulence on this journey. It's fraught with danger."

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a faint smile.

It's true that you're used to being waited on hand and foot. It seems I was overthinking things. With so many people, how could we be short of someone to lead the way?

He wasn't bothered by this straightforward greeting and reminder. He also didn't detect any scheming in the strong man's eyes. After all, his strength was what it was. Although a peak Saint Body cultivator was not bad, as Feng Shangyun said, this trip was destined to be just for show. He shouldn't covet the treasures of heaven and earth. Those were not something a mere peak Saint Body cultivator could dream of, unless you were the protagonist, the chosen one.

Gu Yun glanced lightly at Xiao Li beside her.

Hmm... that doesn't seem wrong. From his own perspective, Xiao Li is indeed a chosen one.

Eh?

The chosen one...?

A strange and somewhat unrealistic idea flashed through Gu Yun's mind.

Could the numbers Xiao Li mentioned earlier be some kind of communication between the chosen ones of this world?

No way?

Probably not, Gu Yun secretly dismissed the thought.

Otherwise, what's the point? Generally speaking, even if there's a crisis in the direction of a world, logically one Chosen One is enough. Why have four or five? Aren't you afraid of conflicts between the Chosen Ones? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

(Chen Yuan: Put down the script, thank you. How come you know more than someone who was reborn?)

Gu Yun chuckled lightly, then faced the burly man with dark skin and looked him straight in the eye. Although his pupils were blood-red, they were extremely peaceful at the moment and did not make people feel cold.

"Feel sorry."

Gu Yun paused briefly, seemingly considering his words.

“My brother may not look like a Holy Body, but he has actually hidden his true strength. Don’t worry, his strength is not much worse than mine.”

"Since you two are willing to travel together, we will naturally not refuse. However, once we arrive in the Titan Realm, we would like to take a look around first and then leave. I suppose these treasures of heaven and earth will not be put out for people to fight over so soon."

"Besides, Brother Tai is right. With our strength, we can only look on and enjoy the spectacle."

Gu Yun's demeanor remained as calm and composed as ever, which made every word he spoke seem to carry a certain convincing power.

The burly man paused for a moment, clearly surprised by Gu Yun's answer, but he quickly nodded slightly, finding nothing amiss.

Hiding one's strength is not uncommon, and wandering around the Titan world is perfectly acceptable; these are all perfectly normal things.

His words were simple, yet composed.

The burly man smiled and didn't dwell too much on Xiao Li's purpose in hiding his strength. Instead, he looked at Gu Yun and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled. In fact, traveling together is ultimately to improve the safety of crossing the gaps between boundaries."

"As for where you want to go afterward, feel free to do so."

After saying that, he patted the shoulder of the thin man next to him and laughed heartily.

"My name is Shi Hao. This is my friend of many years, Yu Mo. Although he is physically weak, don't underestimate him. He is a peak Saint Body with the Imperial Intent of the Movement Technique type. However, he is a bit introverted and not very good at dealing with people. Please forgive him."

Yu Mo nodded slightly at Shi Hao's introduction and gestured to Gu Yun and Xiao Li. Although his attitude was not as enthusiastic as the burly man's, it was still polite.

Gu Yun was slightly taken aback when he saw the dark-skinned giant in front of him. Although he was also curious about the Huang Yi, a type of movement technique, the name undoubtedly stirred up more emotions in him.

Somewhat surprised, he looked at the burly man in front of him again and couldn't help but repeat the name.

"Shi Hao..."

Seeing Gu Yun's thoughtful expression, Shi Hao assumed he was an acquaintance who knew him or had heard of his name. Although the peak of the Holy Body was not the peak of the lower realm, he was still a top figure, so it was not surprising that he was known to others. He asked curiously.

"Brother, do you know me?"

"It is indeed somewhat famous on my home planet. If you have ever visited my home planet, you might actually have heard of it."

"Forehead."

Gu Yun laughed awkwardly and quickly explained.

"No, no, no, this is a friend from my hometown. You share the same name as him, so it's just a bit of nostalgia."

“My surname is Gu, you can just call me Gu Yun. This is Xiao Li.”

Shi Hao nodded.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. My name is indeed quite common."

"The person who could surprise Brother Gu Yun so much must be a close friend of his."

"Forehead."

Gu Yun was unsure how to respond and was unwilling to explain further.

Although the Shi Hao brother in front of him was not as arrogant as the characters in the novels he knew, he was also straightforward and frank, and Gu Yun did not dislike this kind of persona.

At least when you're friends with this kind of person, there won't be too much scheming involved.

But I really don't want to discuss this kind of hobby with someone who knows nothing about it.

Is this friend of mine the Heavenly Emperor who once ruled alone for all eternity?

forget it.

No one in this world can understand such a statement.

Even Xiao Li wouldn't know that the planet he came from was not the planet in this world, according to many Chinese entertainment novels, including the origin of that person.

We are all so lonely!

Gu Yun changed the subject.

"By the way, Brother Shi Hao, do you know how long it will take for this rockfall to calm down?"

Shi Hao looked back and explained.

"Brother Gu Yun must be an outsider. The speed of the rockfall is relatively constant, and it will dissipate on its own in about an hour."

"Even the rockfall with some starstones attached will dissipate faster, because the power of the stars will help accelerate the process. It'll be over soon."

Gu Yun thanked them knowingly and then said nothing more, quietly waiting with everyone for the boundary gap to return to peace.
