Chapter 1836: The Catastrophe
The Firmament Stone started to contemplate the suggestion given by the messenger from heaven. As it pondered, it noticed a sudden drastic change in its environment. It quickly glanced around and saw something surprising. The sky was in utter darkness, and the land was covered entirely by snow! However, in the distance, there was a faint glow of purple light.
A fog seemed to block the light, so the purple glow was only dimly discernible. In a blurred vision, there appeared to be a man, standing in the purple mist. Gu Xijiu finally stood up, her eyes resting on the figure in the purple mist. Her expression clearly showed that she was mesmerized. Slowly, she drifted towards the purple mist.
The Firmament Stone followed her. It was sure that the surroundings had indeed become warmer after the emergence of the purple mist. The cold was less miserable. Was the purple mist the source of her happiness? Was it the only thing that could make her feel alive in the abyss of her sorrowful soul?
Gu Xijiu continued her pursuit of the purple mist. Like a mirage that mimicked her desperation, it seemed that she could never make it far enough to catch the purple mist.
"Master, it is an illusion. You will never make it, so do not waste time on it."
Gu Xijiu ignored the Firmament Stone and continued her fruitless pursuit. It was, after all, her dream. The Firmament Stone would like to see if she could finally get what she hoped for, so it kept quiet and followed her instead.
After a while, the purple mist disappeared into thin air. Gu Xijiu stopped and stared helplessly at the disappearance of the purple mist. Tears started to fill her eyes. The Firmament Stone felt terrible for her at first. Suddenly, an idea came to it.
