Time passed silently in silence, until a cautious figure appeared in Yun Che's sight.
This is a young man who looks to be in his early ten years. He has a thin face and his skin is less smooth than a young man and more rough and dull.
He saw Yun Che, who was lying there with bruises all over his body. He shrunk his neck, but did not leave immediately. His eyes quickly scanned the surrounding area. After hesitating for a while, he mustered up the courage to ask: "This brother... senior, you
Do you know where Senior Sister Lingzhu is? I heard she is back."
Yun Che turned his eyes and said gently: "She is indeed back, but she is not here. She should have gone to see the 'master' in her mouth."
Disappointment suddenly appeared on the young man's face, but he still said politely: "I understand, thank you for informing me, senior."
Judging from his cautious appearance, he obviously ran out. His expectations failed, and he turned around sadly, but Yun Che stopped him: "But she should be back soon. If you really want to see her, you might as well
Wait here for a while."
The young man's eyes suddenly brightened, and he nodded vigorously: "Okay! As long as I can see Senior Sister Lingzhu, I am willing to wait as long as it takes."
Then he lowered his head and added in a low voice: "...if he is not discovered."
After bidding farewell to Ku Xian, Helian Lingzhu, who was supposed to return directly to the court with Mo Cangying, finally decided to say hello to Yun Che before leaving, in the name of not losing sight of royal etiquette.
Mo Cangying had no choice but to agree.
As they approached, they heard him talking to a young man.
"... In our Linyuan world, 99% of the people are majoring in earth-based profound strength, and most of them are minoring in wind-based profound strength. I am the master of earth and assistant of wind, and now I can move a large area of wind and sand.
"
"I heard from Master that our Linyuan Realm will attract and gather all the practitioners who practice earth-based mystical power, because this is the place where the abyssal earth-based power is the most intense and active. But there are very few people outside who practice earth-based mystical power.
Strength, and even... Master also said that they all look down on earth-based profound strength and think that cultivating this kind of power that specializes in defense is the behavior of a coward... That's not the case!"
The young man's voice was filled with reluctance: "There are many great people who practice earth-based profound power! There was an Abyss Knight right here in our place!"
Mentioning the words "Knight of the Abyss", the admiration in the young man's eyes was as fierce as a burning flame: "I heard that he was also selected by Emperor Abyss to become a pioneer in exploring the 'Eternal Pure Land'."
"His name is Mo Beichen, he is ranked 779th among the Knights of the Abyss, and he is titled 'Guardian of Fengchen'. He is from our Linyuan Realm!"
Every word the young man spoke was filled with pride that seemed to overflow.
The smile on Yun Che's face remained, but his pupils narrowed slightly for a moment.
Mo Beichen...
What a fate!
This terrifying figure who caused Qianye Ying'er to lose his grandfather and great-grandfather, made him lose San Yan Zu and He Ling, and truly pushed the entire God Realm into despair... How could he forget it at all!
"Senior," the young man's eyes changed and his voice softened: "Do you think there really is an 'Eternal Pure Land' in this world?"
"I heard that it is a place where Yuan Chen does not exist. You can see green grass everywhere there, there are trees that can grow very tall, and there is also a thing called a 'flower' that can bloom in many varieties.
color."
"I heard that the sky there is blue, and children there don't need to be 'protected' as soon as they are born. Even if they don't practice hard, they will not be eroded, let alone be abandoned because of poor talent.
All children can grow up freely."
"Does such a place really exist?"
What he described was an ordinary scene in Yun Che's perception. It was so ordinary that no one in his world would care about it or mention it.
But in the young man's eyes and words, he was describing a world that should only exist in fantasy and dreams, so beautiful that he and all the creatures in the abyss dare not believe it.
"Of course it exists." Yun Che answered firmly.
Outside the hall, Helian Lingzhu couldn't help but stop.
A strange light flashed in the young man's eyes and then went out immediately. Obviously, he didn't believe it: "Have you ever seen the 'Eternal Pure Land' with your own eyes?"
Yun Che smiled and said: "This has nothing to do with whether you have seen it or not, but you have to believe in its existence."
"Believe it?" The young man who has been "protected" since he was a child and has never really been involved in the world has a confused look on his face.
"Because the word 'believe' is an amazing power." Yun Che's expression was gentle and serious: "If you need a miracle, then it will only happen if you believe in it."
"If you long for the 'Eternal Pure Land', then as long as you firmly believe in its existence and work hard for it, it may really appear in your life one day."
"Even if you still fail to find the 'Eternal Pure Land' in the end, then the beautiful persistence and efforts that accompany your life will open up an 'Eternal Pure Land' in your soul that will always belong to you.
"
The young man's eyes were shining like stars, and they did not go out for a long time this time.
Helian Lingzhu outside the hall was also stunned for a moment.
Until Mo Cangying stepped forward and opened the palace door.
The young man looked back and saw Helian Lingzhu, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Senior Sister Lingzhu!"
He rushed forward with excitement on his face, but was grabbed by Mo Cangying. He frowned deeply: "Qichuan! Did you run out secretly? Don't you know that with your current cultivation level, you can leave the protection of the underground palace?
What a dangerous act it is to enchant!"
The young man was in awe of Mo Cangying: "I...I just really want to see Senior Sister Lingzhu."
"Hmph!" Mo Cangying looked sternly: "Then you should work hard to practice. When you reach the Soul Realm, you can leave the underground palace for half an hour every three days! With your current cultivation level, you have no qualifications to leave the underground palace.
Acting arbitrarily for the sake of your own desires will only make people extremely disappointed!"
"Don't forget, if you can't achieve the Divine Tribulation Realm within a quarter of a century, you will be abandoned! By then, even your 'Senior Sister Lingzhu' will not protect you!"
Yun Che felt moved in his heart.
At the age of fifteen, in the Divine Tribulation Realm, he is a genius who can shock anyone in any star realm in the God Realm.
But in this abyss, there is only the qualification to not be abandoned.
There is no mercy or tolerance for the younger ones here.
As soon as anyone is born, he must face the cruelest laws of survival.
——Except those chosen sons of the Kingdom of God.
Yun Che suddenly thought that in the memories Chi Wuyao grabbed from Mo Beichen, his two daughters were "abandoned" and died under Yuan Chen's erosion.
Therefore, he should only have hatred for this place.
"Okay," Helian Lingzhu walked over and reached out to protect the boy who was being scolded: "Qichuan is still just a child after all, there is no need to say such harsh words to him."
Mo Cangying said: "Indulgence is what harms him. A waste has no qualifications to survive. Being lazy and willful is courting death! This is a law that they should remember from the moment they are born!"
"I...I know." The young man spoke out, not angry, only ashamed: "I just miss Senior Sister Lingzhu so much. She is like my dead sister, she is my heart...the only relative in this world.
I just need to take a look...it's like...sister, she is still alive..."
"I promise that I will never be willful at other times and will do my best to practice."
"And..." He tried hard to put away the mist of tears in his pupils, and his voice sounded a bit sonorous: "Just now, I seemed to have found a direction for my efforts."
Helian Lingzhu secretly glanced sideways at Yun Che and said with a smile: "That is of course the best. Qichuan, you will definitely become a very great person in the future. Being corroded by Yuan Chen when you were young will damage your talent. Soon
Go back. Next time I come back to Tianfu, I will take the initiative to see you."
After speaking, she gently patted the boy's shoulder.
And just this light tap with no force actually caused the young man to shrink his arms suddenly and make a "hiss" sound from his mouth for a moment.
Helian Lingzhu was stunned, Mo Cangying frowned, suddenly moved forward, pulled up the young man's right arm, and shattered the coat on his right arm.
The young man let out a rather miserable scream, and his facial features were squeezed together in pain.
The moment she saw the young man's right arm clearly, Helian Lingzhu's expression suddenly changed, and Mo Cangying's entire face darkened.
The skin of the boy's right arm was obviously dark, and several black marks more than half a foot long were clearly visible.
"Qichuan, you..." Helian Lingzhu's voice trembled slightly. She tried to reach out several times, but she did not dare to touch the young man's arm covered with black marks.
Yun Che's gaze stopped...is this Yuan Chen's erosion?
"When did this happen?" Mo Cangying asked in a cold voice.
"I...I..." The boy's face turned pale, not because of pain, but because of the fright after being discovered: "I'm okay...I will be fine..."
His words were paler than his face. Mo Cangying slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "The right arm has been eroded to this point, so the only way is to cut it off!"
"Ah! No!" Helian Lingzhu hurriedly stepped forward: "He is still far from being able to rebuild his arm. After losing his right arm, he may...be abandoned soon."
"There is no choice." Mo Cangying shook his head: "He only has his right arm now. If it is not removed and it spreads all over the body, there is only one way to die."
"Master can remove the erosion for him." Helian Lingzhu said urgently: "I will go to seek help from the master right now..."
"If you go and beg, Master will definitely not refuse." Mo Cangying looked at him with a calm and solemn expression: "But do you really want to set this precedent?"
Helian Lingzhu's steps suddenly froze there, and it was difficult to move any further.
Mo Cangying said slowly: "Not to mention the entire Linyuan Realm, just in this Helian Tianfu, there are countless people who are eroded by Yuanchen every day."
"Yuan Chen's erosion is silent and there is no way to defend against it. As the eldest princess of the imperial dynasty, you have set this precedent for your own selfishness. From now on, every time a younger person is corrupted, do you have to have the master take action to eliminate it?"
"His life is really running out."
"..." Helian Lingzhu slowly closed her eyes, speechless.
"Senior Sister Lingzhu." The young man stretched out his hand and gently pulled the corner of Helian Lingzhu's clothes: "I will remember your preference for the rest of my life. But this is my own failure. I can't embarrass you, let alone let it.
The master of the palace was harmed because of me."
He raised his face, with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Mo is as they say, he looks very stern, but he is actually a very good person. I have always been afraid that I will be abandoned directly after being exposed.
That's why...Senior Brother Mo cut off my arm, which was actually a way of saving me."
"If you think so, of course it's best." Mo Cangying nodded slightly, his eyes solid: "Cutting off one arm doesn't mean cutting off your life and future. If you were a quarter of a century ago, you could achieve something with one arm.
Not only will the Divine Tribulation Realm not be abandoned, it will also be set an example by Helian Tianfu."
"I...will do it." The young man's voice was still slightly trembling.
A broken arm is an unbearable injury for an adult man, let alone a young man with an incomplete mind.
A broken arm brings not only physical damage, but also psychological damage is undoubtedly more serious. Under the cruel survival rules of the abyss, if you lose an arm at a young age, no matter how gorgeous the comfort is, the future... will only be endlessly pessimistic.
His throat was surging, and he tried to make a less difficult voice: "Brother Mo, please cut off my right arm for me."
"Very good!" Mo Cangying nodded.
The young man closed his eyes fiercely, and Helian Lingzhu also sighed, slowly turned around and closed her eyes.
"Wait a minute." Yun Che's voice sounded at an inappropriate time: "Let me take a look."
