Lost in the Stone Forest, in front of a stone house made of hollowed out boulders, a black figure stood there.
But he was a tall young man in black clothes with a stern face. His black clothes moved with the wind, and he looked elegant.
"Tianwu, I will take you to see my master."
The young man in black is none other than Zhou Yi, the direct disciple of Emperor Wu who was lost in the stone forest.
Now, he was talking to the stone house in front of him.
As for the master Zhou Yi spoke of, he was none other than the owner of Lost Stone Forest, Emperor Shi Qiwu.
The person in the stone house with the closed door in front of Zhou Yi was none other than the woman in red who had followed him back from Lingtian Peak of Lingtian Sect, Feng Tianwu.
Along the way, Feng Tianwu did not mention her name to Zhou Yi, or even spoke to Zhou Yi, and remained silent.
It is still the same until now, a few days after arriving in the Lost Stone Forest.
The reason why Zhou Yi knew Feng Tianwu's 'name' was because Jin Sha and Xiong Quan called Feng Tianwu 'Miss Tianwu' when they were at Lingtian Sect's Lingtian Peak.
"'Tianwu' is not something you can shout."
As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, an extremely cold voice came from the stone house.
"I only know your name is 'Tian Wu'."
Zhou Yi smiled faintly and said: "Tian Wu, you are not a 'demon', but you can have such a cultivation at such an age. Your talent is really rare... I have asked the master to accept you as my master if he is satisfied with your talent.
His personal disciple."
Emperor Wu's personal disciple!
For a moment, there was silence in the stone house.
"After becoming his personal disciple, can I leave the Lost Stone Forest without having to abide by the 'ten-year agreement' I made with you?"
For a moment, cold sounds continued to come from the stone house.
"As Master's direct disciple, you should stay in the Lost Stone Forest to practice. When you reach the peak of Martial Emperor Realm and have enough strength, you can go out... This is the rule set by Master."
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Master has no other intention in setting such rules. He is just worried that some of his direct disciples will go out without mastering their skills and suffer a loss, which will embarrass him."
"Not interested."
The cold voice came out again, filled with a tone that would reject people thousands of miles away.
Not interested?
The words that came out of the stone house, namely Feng Tianwu's words, made Zhou Yi couldn't help but be startled.
Are there still people who are not interested in becoming Emperor Wu's direct disciple?
"Tianwu, I hope you can think about it carefully... Not everyone can become the direct disciple of Emperor Wu. I also spent a lot of time to get the master to agree to confirm your talent. If possible, he will accept it directly.
You are my direct disciple."
Zhou Yi persuaded patiently.
However, he seemed patient on the surface, but deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a bit of indifference.
He spent a lot of time to get his master, Emperor Shi Qiwu, to agree to confirm Feng Tianwu's talent. Naturally, he did not simply want to help Feng Tianwu and make Feng Tianwu his master's direct disciple.
Not to mention that his master may not like Feng Tianwu, but even if he does, he will do everything possible to prevent Feng Tianwu from becoming the direct disciple of Emperor Wu.
Because he didn't really want Feng Tianwu to become his master's direct disciple.
After all, once Feng Tianwu became his master's personal disciple, she also became his junior sister. She was on an equal footing with him, and there was no need to worry about him anymore, let alone agree to become his woman.
He did this just to make Feng Tianwu 'moved' and even grateful to him.
In his eyes.
The direct disciple of Emperor Wu was actually just a 'bait' for the mermaid Feng Tianwu to take the bait.
He wanted to use this to ease the conflict between him and Feng Tianwu.
A normal warrior would undoubtedly be ecstatic if he knew that he had the opportunity to become Emperor Wu's direct disciple.
If there is someone who recommends me, I will definitely be grateful to the person who recommended me.
This is the effect he wants.
However, he never expected that the woman in the stone house in front of him didn't seem to have the slightest interest in becoming a 'direct disciple of Emperor Wu'.
This was completely unexpected and disrupted his plan.
For a moment, he felt weak and realized that the 'breaking point' he thought of to ease his relationship with Feng Tianwu was useless.
However, he was still a little unwilling.
Because of this, he patiently persuaded Feng Tianwu.
"roll!"
However, he patiently persuaded him outside the stone house, but what was waiting for him was Feng Tianwu's extremely cold word "Go", which made his face turn green and white.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, a cold light flashed, and his face became extremely gloomy.
He, Zhou Yi, the direct disciple of Emperor Wu lost in the stone forest, the most beloved disciple of Emperor Shi Qi, when had he ever been rejected like this? When had he been treated like this?
He was angry and felt that his heart was filled with anger.
However, when the figure of the woman in the stone house appeared in his mind, her peerless appearance was vividly visible, and the gloom on his face no longer existed, replaced by indifference.
"Tian Wu, then I'll leave first... I'll see you another day."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then turned around and left.
The moment he turned around, his face darkened again, and his eyes were filled with extreme coldness.
"Ten years...if you don't accept me, even if I can't kill Duan Lingtian, I will destroy you! The woman I, Zhou Yi, can't get, no one else can get."
As he flew away, Zhou Yi murmured.
At the same time, his face looked as ugly as possible.
He had already made an agreement with his master, Emperor Shi Qiwu, but now he was let go by Feng Tianwu. You can imagine that he would definitely be scolded next.
It was also because he was Emperor Shi Qiwu's most beloved direct disciple. If it were another direct disciple who dared to let Emperor Shi Qiwu's pigeons fly, besides being scolded, there would definitely be other punishments.
Although the 'Stone House' in the Lost Stone Forest is formed by hollowing out huge rocks, it is extremely clean and tidy inside. Every corner seems to have been cut with a knife or sword, and it looks very smooth.
The furnishings in the stone house are simple, with nothing else except a square stone bed.
Now, on the stone bed, a woman in red is sitting cross-legged.
The woman in red looks to be in her early twenties, with long hair hanging down her shoulders. Her stunning face seems to be covered with a layer of frost, exuding an icy aura that can save people thousands of miles away.
Coupled with the slight frown on her brows, she looked like an 'ice beauty' wrapped in fire.
The 'fire' mentioned here is naturally the red dress on her body, which looks like a burning flame.
"Brother Duan, now...have you returned to Lingtian Sect?"
At some point, the woman in red slowly opened her charming autumn eyes and murmured, her tone full of dependence and attachment to Duan Lingtian.
She has been by Duan Lingtian's side since she lost her memory. This is the first time she has been away from Duan Lingtian for so long.
She felt a little panicked.
ten years.
She is not sure whether her brother Duan can really improve his cultivation level and have the strength to rescue her from the 'Lost Stone Forest' within ten years.
After all, there is a powerful Martial Emperor in the Lost Stone Forest, who is also Zhou Yi's master.
She originally had full confidence in her brother Duan, but after arriving in the Lost Stone Forest, she gradually calmed down.
It is very difficult for a strong Martial Emperor to break through to the ‘Martial Emperor Realm’.
Even if there are not many powerful Martial Emperors on the Yunxiao Continent today, there are not even more than ten people who appear on the surface.
The powerful Martial Emperors, even worse, have understood the secrets of the six or seven Emperor Realms to the 'ninth level', but they still have not been able to successfully break through to the 'Martial Emperor Realm'.
From this we can see how difficult it is to break through to the ‘Martial Emperor Realm’.
Although her brother Duan is extremely talented, far beyond what anyone else can match, it is still difficult to become one of the "Martial Emperor Powerful Men" among no more than ten people on the Yunxiao Continent.
Because of this, she is not sure whether her brother Duan can rescue her within ten years.
"If Brother Duan can't rescue me...then I can only wait ten years before I can see him again."
Thinking that it would be ten years before she could see the man who haunted her, Feng Tianwu felt uncomfortable and heart-wrenching.
This was the first time she felt like this since she lost her memory.
Ten years is neither long nor short.
But for Feng Tianwu, the days in the lost stone forest were like "living every day like a year".
If she could, she wouldn't want to stay here for a moment.
Time passes quietly.
Nearly a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, an uninvited guest was welcomed outside the 'Lost Stone Forest', but it was a young man in purple who came from the southeast and was travel-worn.
The young man in purple looks about twenty-five years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and is extremely handsome.
His handsome appearance is enough to attract countless women to be fascinated by him.
“This is the ‘Lost Stone Forest’?”
Looking at the stone forest in front of him, the young man in purple murmured, his eyes flashing sharply, as if he could spit out fire.
This young man in purple is none other than ‘Duan Lingtian’ who came all the way from Lingtian Sect’s Lingtian Peak!
"These 'Inscription Arrays'...most of them are 'Illusion Arrays'."
Duan Lingtianhui's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he could see through the details of the stone forest in front of him at a glance. There were many 'inscription formations' in it, most of them were 'illusion formations', and there were also a few 'killing formations'.
Duan Lingtian could tell.
Most of these 'inscription formations' were made by Martial Emperor realm inscription masters, and a few of the 'killing formations' were made by Martial Emperor realm inscription masters.
"That Emperor Shi Qiwu is not an 'inscription master'."
Based on this, Duan Lingtian can easily judge this point.
If Emperor Shi Qiwu was an 'inscription master', it would be impossible for him not to personally go out and cover his 'home' with inscription formations.
You must know that the inscription array arranged by the Martial Emperor Realm Inscription Master is not comparable to that arranged by the Martial Emperor Realm Inscription Master.
"snort!"
Facing the large number of inscription formations in the stone forest in front of him, Duan Lingtian hummed and set out without fear, preparing to enter it.
