The moment he saw Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian was stunned, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Judging from Qin Zhengqiu's situation, he definitely went through a very difficult battle. He definitely did not reach the top of the mountain through "peaceful means" by reaching some deal with Chu Xianping.
So this means...
Chu Xianping should be dead.
His heart sank for no reason, Wei Changtian didn't know what he was feeling at this moment.
Thinking more rationally, Chu Xianping had already "established his own family", and his death seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Moreover, Chu Xianping made Qin Zhengqiu pay such a high price. At least the masters who followed Qin Zhengqiu to Fangcun Mountain would most likely have died in the mountain. It could even be said that he had done himself a big favor.
From this perspective, I may have to thank myself...
etc.
Did Chu Xianping...really come to Fangcun Mountain just to become an immortal?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and my heartbeat seemed to stop for a beat.
Wei Changtian was stunned, wondering why he had made such an unfounded guess.
Maybe... I just feel that all this is not like Chu Xianping's meticulous style.
He took a deep breath, shook his head, suppressed these "irrelevant" things in his heart, and once again looked at Qin Zhengqiu who had walked under the auspicious clouds.
Wei Changtian had already arranged a simple small formation to hide his and Xu Suisui's auras, so the former should not be aware of their presence at the moment.
Then the next step is to wait.
Waiting for the appearance of the "secret to ascend to immortality" that is not known to be true or false.
"..."
He winked at Xu Suisui and signaled her to be quiet.
Wei Changtian stared at Qin Zhengqiu motionless through the cracks in the rocks.
The latter looked up at the auspicious clouds in the sky, seeming to be hesitating whether to take a look in the clouds.
Wei Changtian had already visited Yunzhong, so he knew that even if Qin Zhengqiu went in, he would find nothing.
So unless something changes later, this "secret" is just a lie with no known purpose.
In fact, Wei Changtian quite hoped that this was a lie.
After all, at least this way he wouldn't have to fight with Qin Zhengqiu again.
Unfortunately, the development of the story was completely opposite to what he expected...
"call!"
Maybe he was waiting for Qin Zhengqiu's arrival, or maybe he just happened to wait for the moment when Tianji came to the world.
Before Qin Zhengqiu went to the clouds, he saw that the auspicious clouds that had been churning all day suddenly parted to both sides, revealing a magnificent fairy pavilion.
His eyes widened suddenly, and Wei Changtian suddenly jumped out of his hiding place.
Where did this Immortal Pavilion come from?
Why haven’t I seen anything in the cloud before?
Looking at the illusory and real Qiong Yuyao stage, feeling the rich zhenqi that seemed to be able to condense into substance, definitely surpassing the first level, countless questions suddenly appeared in Wei Changtian's mind.
But he quickly put these questions behind him, and gently pressed his left hand on the hilt of Longquan sword.
There is no doubt that he must make a choice now.
It is obvious that the opportunity to ascend to immortality is in this immortal pavilion.
Although Qin Zhengqiu is still stunned in place, he is expected to enter the Immortal Pavilion soon to find out.
So should I take action to stop him immediately?
To be honest, this question doesn't seem to make Wei Changtian hesitate.
After all, this was the purpose of his coming to Fangcun Mountain.
What's more, now that Chu Xianping has helped him create the most favorable conditions, he has no reason not to take action.
but......
Wei Changtian himself couldn't figure out where the struggle in his heart started.
But before he could make a decision, at the moment of hesitation, another change occurred.
"The way to observe the sky and the way to follow the sky."
"The universe depends on the hands, and all transformations depend on the body."
"Nature is human nature."
"People's hearts are also machines."
"The way of establishing heaven is used to determine people..."
"..."
Clear and distant chants fell from the Immortal Pavilion and rumbled on the top of Fangcun Mountain.
But what is somewhat inconsistent is that, between the lines of words that are full of mystery and profoundness, the tone of the voice is somewhat feminine, making it impossible for people to distinguish between men and women for a while.
More importantly, whose mouth does this "voice from outside the world" come from?
The way of heaven?
With his brows furrowed, Wei Changtian stared at the Immortal Pavilion in the air, his heart beating faster and faster.
There is no doubt that this scene is definitely the most incredible one he has ever seen since time travel.
Qin Zhengqiu's expression was not much different, but there was more undisguised fanaticism in his eyes.
The two of them just looked up at the Immortal Pavilion, listening to the rolling sound of chants pouring from the sky to their ears, and their minds went blank.
To be honest, Wei Changtian couldn't understand a word about "nature" and "human heart".
But the last two words spoken by the voice made his eyes widen suddenly.
"...There are not many blessings in this world, and only one person can achieve enlightenment and immortality."
"So, whoever among the three of you wants to transcend secularity and become a saint, please enter the pavilion."
"..."
"boom!!!"
Almost at the moment when the sound from outside the sky fell, the extremely turbulent wind began to roll crazily in all directions with Qin Zhengqiu as the center, smashing huge rocks into pieces, and in an instant the entire square inch of the mountain was empty.
Wei Changtian knew that he had nowhere to hide, so he suddenly jumped up from the pile of rocks, pulled out the Longquan sword with a "cang clang", and stood in front of Xu Suisui.
The same fierce internal force blasted forward, blocking countless flying rocks. It took more than ten breaths for the billowing dust and smoke to dissipate a little.
Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu faced each other on the empty mountain top, the corners of their clothes rustling in the strong wind.
"Grandpa..."
His eyes were very complicated. Wei Changtian clenched his fist, as if he wanted to say something.
However, just before he said two words, Qin Zhengqiu suddenly interrupted:
"Take her down the mountain..."
It seemed that he was struggling in his heart, and Qin Zhengqiu's voice was particularly hoarse.
Wei Changtian didn't nod or shake his head, he just stared at him silently, and after a while, he slowly took a step forward.
"Grandpa, come down the mountain with me."
"..."
A trace of hesitation flashed across his cloudy eyes, and Qin Zhengqiu trembled.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, and the sword in his hand lowered little by little.
"Chang, Changtian, I..."
Holding tightly to his disheveled white hair, Qin Zhengqiu seemed to be in boundless pain, and his whole body was trembling due to this pain.
Family love and inner demons repeatedly competed for the last glimmer of clarity in his mind, leaving him on the verge of collapse.
"Grandpa!"
Seeing this, Wei Changtian's voice suddenly became much louder, and he took a step forward again.
"My mother has been waiting for you!"
"And the Tianluo Sect! My uncles! They are all waiting for you to come back!"
"You haven't met little Hongsu yet!"
"Let's go, Grandpa!"
"Come down the mountain with me!"
"me......"
The strong wind gradually weakened, Qin Zhengqiu raised his head blankly, hesitated on his feet, struggled, and finally walked step by step in the direction of Wei Changtian.
Twenty feet, fifteen feet, ten feet, eight feet...
Every step Qin Zhengqiu took was very difficult, as if he was walking in a swamp, swaying.
Wei Changtian's breathing became more and more rapid, and his right hand that was not holding the sword was clenched tightly.
To be honest, he didn't expect that Qin Zhengqiu would actually be persuaded by him.
After all, this is quite different from what the latter did before.
But no matter what, if this matter can be resolved "peacefully", that will of course be the best outcome...
He redeemed a bottle of "Yulu Powder" from the system, and Wei Changtian planned to give it to Qin Zhengqiu when he got closer. At the very least, it would ensure that he would not be controlled by his inner demons again in a short period of time.
but......
"Changtian..."
Suddenly, when the two sides were only less than three feet apart, and Wei Changtian had even raised his left hand to hand out the porcelain vase, Qin Zhengqiu suddenly stopped.
"Grandpa was wrong..."
"But grandpa also...can't look back..."
"boom!!!!"
The long sword seemed to cut off all the scenes in the past. In Wei Changtian's shocked eyes, the dazzling golden sword light suddenly surged, and in an instant, he was enveloped in the old Moon-Chasing Sword Intent and drowned in it.
The small porcelain bottle containing Jade Dew Powder was thrown high, and soon turned into fine powder, which was blown away by the crazy hurricane...
...
...
silence.
Deathly silence.
Black smoke billowed out from the giant crater, as if it had been created by a meteorite impact, and countless broken swords were scattered across the top of the mountain.
All the auspicious clouds in the sky have been cleared away, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun shines through the dreamlike fairy pavilion and falls on the motionless bodies of Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu, reflecting the gentle glow in the blood.
Facing Qin Zhengqiu's sword that was so close at hand, Wei Changtian couldn't hide.
However, at the last moment, he still detonated the star scabbard and used the first-grade internal power contained in the golden relic to perform a true "Ten Thousand Blades".
The pseudo-immortal-level "Luo Qiong" formed by the gathering of ten thousand long swords faced the true-immortal-level "Chaoyue" who also tried his best with one sword.
Such an unknown move is unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented.
And as for the results...
It seems that it can be regarded as a tie, or it can be regarded as...
"Wei, Wei Changtian..."
In the distance, Xu Suisui, who was also covered in blood, struggled to crawl toward Wei Changtian little by little, with tears on his face.
Although she was relatively far away from the center of the fight between the two, and although the aura-shielding formation deployed by Wei Changtian acted as a barrier, she was still knocked far away by the strong impact just now.
Both legs must have been broken, and the pain in my chest was severe.
But Xu Suisui didn't care about his injuries at all, so he grabbed the soil with both hands and crawled towards Wei Changtian, dragging a long bloodstain under his body.
"Please, don't die..."
"do not die......"
"I can save you..."
"You are not allowed to die..."
It seemed that he didn't have much strength left, and Xu Suisui's cries seemed particularly weak.
And she didn't know if she was hallucinating because she was in a trance, but at a certain moment, she suddenly saw someone walking out of the fairy pavilion.
This man was dressed in white and looked like a young man whose gender could not be distinguished. He slowly floated to the top of Fangcun Mountain like a real immortal and glanced at her from a distance.
"..."
Xu Suisui's eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned.
However, the "immortal" didn't seem to be interested in her. After one glance, he walked over to Qin Zhengqiu, bent down and pressed his hand on the latter's chest.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the young man in white quickly stood up again. That calm smile made Xu Suisui suddenly feel scared.
"no, do not want......"
Opening his mouth, Xu Suisui seemed to be pleading for something.
But the young man in white still didn't look at her, but floated across the pit and came to Wei Changtian's side again.
He bent down and lowered his head. His white neck was as smooth and flawless as the most perfect white jade in the world.
But the next moment, a dark long sword suddenly lay across the "white jade".
