At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, a green stream several feet wide flows along the green forest.
On both sides of the stream, spiritual trees grow obliquely, with dense branches and leaves, exuding a woody fragrance.
Zhang Ruochen was wearing a snow-white woolen cloak, with neatly folded lapels and long sleeves like clouds. He was sitting in an octagonal wooden pavilion by the stream, holding a file and reading it carefully. His brows sometimes wrinkled and sometimes stretched out with a smile.
On the branch next to the wooden pavilion, there is a magic lamp that emits red light.
On the ground, the reflections of branches and leaves are mottled.
The sound of the stream is brisk and endless, giving people a sense of infinite tranquility.
Footsteps sounded.
Not long after, in a rain of spiritual energy and light, Queen Daixue led Afya to the outside of the wooden pavilion.
The elves, both male and female, are all extremely beautiful, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, extremely tall figures, and skin as delicate as jade, as if they were born from the gathering of all the beauties in the world.
As the queen of the elves, she is also a quintessence of beauty.
In terms of appearance alone, they are like fairies that stepped out of a picture of a goddess, without any flaws.
Queen Daixue bowed and said: "Great Elder, we are here!"
Zhang Ruochen was still reading the files. After a long while, he put it down and said, "I'll soak the divine wine sent by Qianxing Civilization. You go and get it."
When Queen Daixue went to the stream, Zhang Ruochen's eyes fell on Afya. In the shadow, only half of her figure could be seen, and he said, "I don't know whether I should call you Queen Shi or Queen Meira?"
Meira was the previous queen of the elves before Queen Dashue.
A clear and sweet voice came from outside the pavilion: "It depends on whether the great elder wants to see Afuya or Meira."
Zhang Ruochen showed a faint smile and said: "The First Queen has great talent and strategy, and is extremely beautiful in the world. Her talent and appearance have been passed down through the ages. I don't know how many future generations of gods have admired and worshiped her. Ruochen has also been famous for a long time."
"The First Queen has fallen long ago, and now there is only a trace of her soul lingering in the world. I am afraid she will disappoint the great elder!" Afya said.
Zhang Ruochen's eyelids shrank and he was secretly impressed.
A being who once stood at the pinnacle of the universe can let go of his arrogance, which is better than most ancient strong men.
"First Queen, please take a seat." Zhang Ruochen invited.
Afya walked out of the darkness, with a graceful figure, and entered the wooden pavilion. She was dressed in green clothes and tied with a jade belt around her waist, which outlined her willow waist.
The fragrant breeze then filled the pavilion.
She stroked the strap of her skirt with her jade fingers, and sat down opposite Zhang Ruochen in a very beautiful manner. Every movement showed elegance and beauty, and her pair of amber-like crimson pupils stared at Zhang Ruochen without any concern.
This is the peace that can only be found after having a great heart and seeing through the prosperity and darkness of the world!
It looks like Meira.
But that detached temperament may not be possessed by all the gods.
The other monks, with their tyrannical power, formed an aura and took the initiative in the conversation. They were like a majestic divine peak!
And she uses stillness as her momentum, and her plainness contains profoundness, making her even more unpredictable. Like the boundless sea.
Zhang Ruochen didn't know where to use his strength for a moment. While admiring her charm, he said casually: "Tianmu suppressed Qiang Shake. I got some mutton and there is still some leftover. I wonder if the First Queen would like to taste it together?"
Queen Daixue, who was walking from the stream carrying a wine jar, heard this and her expression changed.
Qiang Shake was a powerful man in ancient times, and Zhang Ruochen treated him with meat, which was undoubtedly a show of authority to Afya.
Showing authority to an ancestor?
The atmosphere in the forest suddenly became chilly.
Avya said: "Does the Great Elder not know that the First Queen eats vegetarian food and does not eat meat?"
"Really? I really don't know, I'm sorry."
Zhang Ruochen then said: "To be honest, I have a deep grudge with the Heaven Realm. If we were to break down the enmity, we would have to trace it back thousands of years ago. I swore back then that I would kill some of the gods in the Heaven Realm."
Queen Daixue, who was pouring wine for the two of them, held her breath and was very nervous.
It was obvious that the two people were having a calm conversation, like a close friend across the ages, but she clearly heard the sound of swords.
Afya said: "If we talk about grievances, I also killed many gods of Kunlun Realm back then, and the elves were also killed by many gods of Kunlun Realm. However, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and grievances and hatred have long been turned into loess. Only
The starry sky above our heads remains eternal. The wind is clear and the moon is white, who will remember the smoke and clouds of the past?"
There is no doubt that she is standing on a very high level, telling Zhang Ruochen that every era has its own hatred and conflicts. Zhang Ruochen's grudges with the heaven world have nothing to do with her, an ancient person.
"Does Queen Meira think so too?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Afya picked up the moonlight cup with her slender jade fingers and said: "Great Elder, you have a chance to achieve the position of ancestor, why don't you set your sights on a higher position?"
Zhang Ruochen raised his glass and placed it to his lips to drink.
This was his home court, but in terms of mood and momentum, he was suppressed by the opponent. It can be seen that this First Queen, even if she only has a remnant soul, is still extraordinary. It is unimaginable that when she stood at the top of the universe,
How elegant is it?
He didn't wait for Zhang Ruochen to open his mouth to fight back.
Afya added: "Actually, I have to thank the great elder for his kindness to the elves."
"Where does the grace come from?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Afya glanced at Queen Daixue and said: "The Great Elder accepted Daixue and her elves into the Sword Realm, which is a great favor to the elves. Even if the world collapses in the future, there will be more elves in the universe.
A fire exists."
"The Queen really thinks so?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Afya sighed with emotion: "People like us have long lost our emotions. Relatives, friends, masters and disciples are no longer memories. All we have now is the pursuit of the ultimate in Taoism. If we have to say a trace of belonging,
I feel that in this era and in this world, there are probably only elves left!"
Zhang Ruochen asked Queen Daixue to fetch water from the stream and cook the mutton.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Then the queen came to see me also because of her pursuit of the ultimate in Taoism?"
Afya answered in the affirmative and said: "If I can't stay at the top, I will go back to the old path. However, time is already very tight, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
"When is time urgent? Do you want to measure the calamity?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Avya nodded.
"How much longer?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Afya said: "It's hard to say! However, the ancient demon gods, Te, and ancient powerful men have appeared in this era one after another, which shows that the calamity is very close! It may be in this Yuanhui, or it may be in the next Yuanhui. Time
It’s too short. If I only rely on myself, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get back to the top before the calamity comes.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed: "What a pity, the sundial is severely damaged and cannot support the First Queen's practice. The First Queen has found the wrong person!"
Queen Daixue has brought water from the stream and cooked the mutton in the cauldron.
The divine flames burned under the cauldron, and the aroma of meat gradually spread.
Zhang Ruochen said: "The queen should look for the Zhouding among the nine tripods. It is the first divine weapon in the world."
Under the firelight, Afya's red lips were particularly shining, and her teeth were slightly exposed, and she said: "The sundial is indeed a treasure that helps practice and gain time, but it is not what I value most."
"Oh? What is that?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Afya's crimson pupils suddenly became bright, and red light spots flew out of her skin, filling the Octagonal Pavilion like fireflies, and then flew into the forest.
She said: "I would like to see the great elder's first-grade divine way first. Maybe I can give you some advice?"
Mela is a fire elf, and the fiery red light dots escaping from her body contain the power of tyrannical flames.
Zhang Ruochen looked around and was surprised to find that these fiery red light spots blended into the trees, flowers and plants. Not only did they not burn, but they encouraged them to grow rapidly, sprout and take root, making a "rustling" sound.
These abilities to use Taoism are no less than Zhao Gongming's ability to transform the five elements at will.
Zhang Ruochen could see that Meila's physical body was just the cultivation of Qiankun Boundless. But how strong was Afya's spirit inside the physical body?
"Wow!"
With a thought in Zhang Ruochen's mind, the Tai Chi Four Symbols Seal erupted from his body, covering an area hundreds of feet in radius.
In the diagram, the yin and yang cycle, the four phenomena move, and the five elements flow...
It is all-encompassing and has endless evolutions.
Avya only felt that time and space seemed to be frozen, and except for her own spiritual thoughts, her physical body could not even move her fingers.
Even the energy of yin and yang and the power of the Four Symbols continued to attack her soul defense, assimilating her soul into it and becoming a part of Zhang Ruochen's Taoism.
Afya couldn't speak, and said with her mind: "It is worthy of being one of the best in the world through the ages. It is truly the best in the world, and it contains endless variables and power. The Great Elder can put away his Taoism!"
"The queen has such a powerful soul. With the power of this soul, she is immortal and has no opponent."
Zhang Ruochen sighed in admiration, then put his hands together and put away the Tai Chi Four Symbols seal.
"The cultivation of this physical body has finally become a shackle. Within eighteen feet, I am no match for the great elder. Even if I win, my physical body cannot be saved and I will have to turn into a remnant soul again." Afya pointed out Zhang Ruochen Wuji's words.
The ultimate realm of Shinto.
In order to cover it up, Zhang Ruochen just released the scope of the Tai Chi Four Symbols Seal in an area hundreds of feet in diameter.
But she still saw through it!
Zhang Ruochen is not surprised at all, this is the insight that the ancestor should have.
In this duel, neither of them made a move, but in an instant, both sides had figured out the depth of each other.
Zhang Ruochen picked up the wine glass and drank while waiting for Afya's answer.
Afya said: "Great Elder, do you know what the biggest weakness of ancient strong men like us is?"
Zhang Ruochen pretended not to know and said: "Is it a secret?"
Avya shook her head.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Is it the rules of heaven and earth of this era that exclude you?"
Afya said: "This is an extremely difficult dilemma for us to overcome, and it is the biggest obstacle on the way to the top. But it is not the biggest weakness! The Great Elder is a sensible person, why do we pretend to be confused?"
"For us, the biggest weakness is that the laws of heaven and earth essentially do not allow us to exist, but we have arrived in this era!"
"Isn't this a good thing?" Zhang Ruochen immediately added, "I have no hostility towards the ancient strong men. I only hate the ancient strong men who are unfriendly and collude with the Heliang organization. I will kill them."
He will never be lenient. Of course, the First Queen is not among them!"
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's repeated avoidance, Afya luckily pointed it out directly and said: "When the rules of heaven and earth begin to correct and the laws of heaven and earth do not allow us to exist, no matter how strong we are in cultivation, we will all be wiped out in an instant. Only Wuji, who has been in the world for a long time, will
Shinto can generate Tai Chi in Wuji, and build Yin and Yang in Tai Chi. Yin and Yang evolve into four images to support the four directions, thus forming a small world of its own, unaffected by the laws of heaven and earth."
"I understand, the First Queen wants to seize the elder." Zhang Ruochen stared at her.
It was quiet for a moment in the pavilion.
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said: "Okay, this joke is not funny. Daixue, bring over the meat!"
