On the huge desolate plain, a double white jade door stands quietly.
There are many simple patterns wrapped around both sides of the door, but there are traces of incompleteness in many places, revealing a color of vicissitudes of life.
The swirling twisted light filled the gap in the center of the portal, and strong spatial fluctuations emanated from it.
With the sound of breaking through a membrane, Shen Qian and Ding Yi emerged from the void not far away and appeared over the plain.
"The collapse stopped here."
Shen Qian looked back at the sky that was still collapsing, and then at the plain below. The space formed a kind of separation here, and the plain was not affected by the collapse.
"The 'door' cannot be destroyed..."
Ding Yi stared at the bronze door and pointed out the reason.
Shen Qian nodded, this was consistent with his guess.
The "door" cannot be destroyed. It can only be hidden and sealed. This is something that the prince has verified.
"I've been here before."
Shen Qian stared at this plain and found the familiarity in his memory.
Although this place was still a desert when he set foot last time, and the "door" was in dilapidated condition, Shen Qian still recognized that this was the place where he escaped from Heaven.
As expected by Shen Qian, Lin Qiaoyin has completely repaired this "door". Judging from the remaining fluctuations in the air, Jiang Chengye also left the heaven through this "door".
But Shen Qian still has one thing that he can't figure out.
Lin Qiaoyin's formation level may be considered a master in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is almost impossible to repair an almost completely damaged "door"...
Hey, wait!
Shen Qian turned around suddenly, "The last time I came here, the 'door' was broken..."
Ding Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Shen Qian was talking about, and a look of surprise and thinking appeared in his eyes.
Assuming that the "door" cannot be damaged, how was the "door" of this heavenly realm destroyed?
This is obviously a self-contradictory point, but Shen Qian subconsciously ignored it last time, and only after thinking about it today did he realize that it was wrong.
If the princes are unable to destroy a "door", it can only mean one thing. The person who destroys the "door" must be someone who surpasses the princes.
It's a pity that the remnant soul of the Emperor of Heaven has been completely extinct, otherwise we might be able to learn something from him...
Shen Qian shook his head and returned to his previous question.
Lin Qiaoyin has been in Heaven for eleven years. If she really had the ability to repair this "door", she would have repaired it long ago, so why wait until now?
Shen Qian glanced at the green grass on the plain below, and his mental power was suddenly touched. He glanced at a place in the void, where a green and red flame immediately burst out.
The flame seemed to be only the size of a palm, but when it fell on the plain, it instantly triggered a huge fire. In the blink of an eye, it burned all the plants that blocked the view, revealing the charred ground below and countless blood-red marks. p>
Those marks are crisscrossed and gathered in six concave and convex areas to form irregular shapes, which just surround the "door" in the middle, vaguely representing the incompleteness of a large formation.
"This is..."
Ding was moved for a moment.
"Do you think those six shapes look familiar?"
After Shen Qian finished speaking, he shook his head again. He stared blankly at the few bloody pictures, "I almost forgot that you have been in Beidu and are not familiar with Jiangzhong Province... But if you have seen Jiangzhong
If you look at the map of the province, you will find that these graphics exactly correspond to the administrative maps of the six cities of Jiangzhou, Lizhou, Shangzhou, and Xincheng."
"You mean..."
Although she had no personal experience, the collapse of the Six Cities shocked China, and she naturally knew the whole story in detail. Looking at the bloody marks and the intact "door" standing in front of her, Ding Yi vaguely guessed something.
"As for the formation, there is actually a saying of 'death formation'."
Shen Qian suddenly said, "The so-called 'dead formations' are those formations that are half-deployed but find that they have reached a dead end. Such formations are usually of extremely high level or exceed the upper limit of the ability of the organizer.
, in historical records, there are many formations like this."
"When a 'door' is destroyed, it requires a power far beyond imagination. In the same way, trying to repair a 'door' also requires an equally powerful force. If you try to arrange such a formation, you will probably end up with a 'death formation'
The ending comes to an end..."
"At least as far as I know, no one in China today has this ability, unless..."
Shen Qian thought of the system at this moment. In his opinion, if anyone really had this ability, there would be no other candidate besides the system.
It’s impossible for Lin Qiaoyin to do it anyway.
"But you know what, actually the 'Death Formation' is not completely unsolvable."
After a pause, Shen Qian continued, his voice getting deeper and deeper, "Anyone who has studied formations knows that there is a method that can force the formation of formations."
"This method is to gather a force in a specific way, a force that is strong enough to even shake the rules. If it is injected into the 'death formation', it can break through all obstacles and allow the formation to finally take shape."
"With the blood sacrifice of the six cities' living creatures, we completed the final formation... Hahaha, that's hundreds of thousands of lives, they really dare!"
At this moment, Shen Qian was a little angry.
He has personally experienced the Jiangzhou subsidence. He watched the ignorant people die in an instant under the attack of a large number of scavengers...
He never thought that the initiator would be Lin Qiaoyin who was in heaven, or at least she also participated in the decision-making.
After knowing the truth, Shen Qian felt his heart heavy, but it happened to be Ding Yi's mother... This made Shen Qian swallow back all the words he wanted to curse.
Ding Yi seemed to understand something and fell into a long silence.
She walked slowly to the white jade door and said in a difficult voice: "Where does this 'door'... lead to?"
"Overseas."
Shen Qian took a deep breath and spit out two words, barely regaining his composure.
There is more than one "door" to heaven. In addition to the Jiangzhong Junwu Road, there is also a well-hidden "door" in Kunlun Mountain, but Jiang Chengye and the others have been trying to repair this "door" leading to overseas. p>
Coupled with the recent defection of prison guards overseas, overseas has now become a lawless place that is difficult for strong humans to control. All of this is definitely not a coincidence.
Is it all led by the witch clan hidden behind the scenes?
Shen Qian couldn't be sure for the time being, but he felt the huge conspiracy contained in it.
It's a pity that I'm still not strong enough...
Otherwise, Shen Qian would not have to think too much and would just go out through this "door", and the truth would naturally be revealed.
But without knowing what is hidden overseas, this behavior is tantamount to suicide.
This is why Jiang Chengye is not worried at all that Shen Qian will chase after him.
"Shen Qian, look."
Ding Yi suddenly focused his eyes, as if he had discovered something by the "door".
Shen Qian walked over and saw some remaining ice residue in Ding Yi's white palm.
Ice slag...
Shen Qian raised his eyebrows.
He had just burned this area with Lihuo, but these ice slags could barely maintain their shape under the high temperature, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
The only place where Shen Qian had seen ice in the Heaven Realm was when he entered the Heaven Realm last time, the mythical creatures and the terrifying existences that were not like human beings were frozen in it.
At this time, Shen Qian suddenly realized why he only saw the dragon pulling the coffin since the heaven realm had recovered.
There is more to Heaven than just that...
Last time Shen Qian saw Kui Niu, a big red bird that looked like a phoenix, and a tall humanoid creature with the marks of the four mythical beasts on its body...
"Those terrifying beings have left the heaven through this 'door' and entered overseas?"
Shen Qian's expression was solemn, and he suddenly understood why the demon Zhongli had to spend so much time repairing this "door".
Only this "door" is beyond the control of the powerful human race.
"The 'Fengshen List' I took away from Jiang Chengye was not complete, so in addition to the core component of the Nine Heavens List, there are other fragments of the Conferred Gods List..."
Shen Qian murmured.
In addition to the demon Zhongli, Lin Qiaoyin and Jiang Chengye, there are other high-level scavengers who used other fragments of the God List to control those mythical creatures and sent them to the earth in a covert manner...
This is the only explanation Shen Qian can think of now.
From the perspective of scavengers, it is completely cost-effective to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of scavengers to complete the blood sacrifice in exchange for these top-level powers.
"It's time for us to leave."
After checking the surroundings again and confirming that there was nothing of value, Shen Qian took a breath.
Ding nodded, but his eyes were still staring at the "door".
"Overseas... we will go there. No matter what the truth is, I will accompany you to find it out, but not now."
Shen Qian probably knew what Ding Yi was thinking. He was really afraid that the other party would step into that "door" impulsively, so he quickly spoke.
"Okay."
Ding Yi finally turned around and nodded in response.
……
Before the heaven completely collapsed, Shen Qian and Ding Yi found the unique mark left by the second senior sister, and used their spiritual power to sense the hidden "door".
"It seems to be the aura of Big Lao Gao. This 'door' was sealed by the teacher himself?"
When passing through the "door", Shen Qian sensed some familiar smells, and corresponding guesses flashed through his mind.
But he soon felt relieved. Only the eighth senior sister knew about this "door" before, and the eighth senior sister was brought back from Kunlun Mountain by the teacher, so it makes sense that he would be in charge of this "door".
After the space was distorted for a while, a raging wind and snow hit him. Breathing the cold but familiar air again, Shen Qian confirmed that he had returned to the earth.
He looked around and saw vast and majestic mountains stretching across the land. The thick snow stretched as far as the eye could see. From time to time, it was blown by the storm and rolled up the sky with silvery white. This was the Kunlun Mountains located in the restricted area.
There is a group of figures below waiting in the leeward place. It is Cheng Qingqing and others who came out from here first.
Shen Qian was not in a hurry to join them. Instead, he glanced at Ding Yi beside him and hesitated to speak.
Ding Yi seemed to know what Shen Qian wanted to say, and showed an indifferent smile, "You want to ask about Jiutian Xuannv?"
Seeing that Ding Yi didn't shy away, Shen Qian's heart suddenly relaxed.
Wang Shuo has obviously lost himself due to the possession of Erlang Shen, and he is worried that Ding Yi will make the same mistake again.
"My relationship with her is not like that between Wang Shuo and Erlang Zhenjun."
Ding Yi shook his head and rarely said a few more words, "Zhenjun Erlang was reborn through reincarnation and was completely bound to Wang Shuo, but Xuannv only borrowed my sea of consciousness to nourish her soul. She can withdraw from me at any time."
Body... I have asked the principal for help on this matter, and the Alchemy Research Institute affiliated with Beiwu is helping her build a suitable body, but it may take a long time."
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."
When Shen Qian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that Principal Beiwu knows the inside story, and Jiutian Xuannv's character is obviously not as bad as Erlang Shen, Shen Qian can basically rest assured.
Although he always felt that he had missed something, he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Go ahead, she's still waiting for you."
Ding glanced at a certain direction in the wind and snow, and said softly.
Shen Qian was immediately embarrassed because he was not sure who Ding was referring to by "her".
But at this time, he could only pretend to be stupid. Shen Qian coughed and asked, "What about you?"
"I have to rush back to Beidu as soon as possible. I have some things to ask my father."
Ding Yi explained.
When Shen Qian heard this, he knew that she was still thinking about Lin Qiaoyin in her heart, and perhaps wanted to find out more from her father, so he didn't say more, and agreed on the next day to visit her in Beidu.
Say goodbye to Ding Yiyi and fall down.
Ding Yi still stood there, watching Shen Qian's figure gradually move into the lake in the wind and snow, but another voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Why don't you tell him the truth?"
Jiutian Xuannv's equally cold voice was filled with an indescribable emotion, "When you accepted me that day, I already told you that from now on, our souls will merge and we will be of the same mind. To use your modern parlance,
I am equivalent to your second personality. Unless you kill 'me', it will be difficult for me to leave your body."
"He already has enough things to worry about, so why add one more thing?"
Ding Yi smiled, "Besides, didn't you teach me that all the rules in this world can be broken theoretically? If not, it must be because the strength is not strong enough..."
"Then we can be stronger."
Suddenly, Ding Yi smiled narrowly again, "And you don't seem to be resisting him so much anymore. Is it because... he may be the incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven that you admire most?"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiutian Xuannu denied it in shame.
"Actually, I don't mind. As I told you, I really don't mind. Anyway...it's more than that."
Ding Yi looked at the slightly staggering figure running quickly towards Shen Qian in the wind and snow, and his face seemed to be suddenly covered with wind and snow, and it was glittering and translucent.
Jiutian Xuannv originally wanted to say something, but when she saw this, she could only sigh softly in her heart, but she fell silent for a moment.
