As soon as Ye Lingfeng entered Xuanhuo Temple, he and Yuchi separated again and again, and they didn't finally meet until the fourth level.
Ye Lingfeng now looks embarrassed. It must be because the previous level was very difficult, and he has wasted a full six hours here.
He thought he was the first to arrive, but it turned out that Yu Chifu had already arrived.
Ye Lingfeng, who had always regarded Yu Chifu as his slave, was naturally not convinced and was about to curse. Only then did he realize that in this level, he could only look at each other, but not touch.
It's like there is a natural barrier between everyone, which is difficult to cross.
And as more and more people reached the fourth level, Ye Lingfeng became even more unable to sit still.
——Fu Ya, the second level of Xuanhuo Temple.
The stone transformed by Chentian was enshrined in the sect's ancestral hall. Just as the sect's population was sparse, the ancestral hall was also dilapidated.
At this time, he had no consciousness, no emotions, no food and clothing, and was not even a living thing.
The little girl will clean the ancestral hall every day. Even though the ancestral hall is very old, it is still spotless.
The stone transformed by Chen Tian was also wiped clean every day. Then the little girl looked at the stone and said to herself: "Brother Dan, you have to be born quickly. Master's current situation is very bad. He has been seriously injured."
The master who treated me couldn't adapt to the turbid spiritual energy in the lower world, so he didn't get out of bed for several days."
"Brother Egg, what will you be after you are born?
Could it be a legendary beast?"
"Brother Egg!"
The little girl didn't mind it, she talked to the stone, even if there was no response, she could talk for an hour or two.
In addition, the little girl will also offer rice and food to the stones, but usually the insects and rats eat them.
Day after day, year after year.
Chen Tian's state was extremely subtle. Every time he could actually sense part of it, see part of it, and then lose consciousness.
The little girl's sect continued to lose, and the master who was the mainstay finally passed away. Only the little girl struggled to support the entire sect.
She worked hard to practice the techniques passed down by her master, but the spiritual energy in the lower world was washed away and muddy, and her progress was very slow.
Naturally, the sect was unable to help her obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but she did not give up and supported the sect independently.
Whenever she is independent and has no one to talk to, she will find the stone again. Sometimes her nose will burst into tears, and sometimes she will smile.
"Brother Dan, it has been a year since Master passed away. When I found out that Master passed away, many people wanted to bully us, but I defeated them all."
"Brother Dan, don't look at me like this. When Fen Xiang Tianxia was in the Shangtian Domain, I was still a well-known genius."
"Brother Dan, I will work hard to support the sect. You must also work hard and hatch yourself quickly so that we can return to the Heaven Realm."
She had no doubt that her master was lying to her, and she still called Chen Tian Brother Dan.
She knows that this is the hope that Master left for her, and she will always protect it.
Slowly, starting from the time when the little girl got the stone, nearly one hundred and twenty years have passed. For many people, two decades is already an ordinary person's life.
The girl back then is now tall and graceful, but her smile seems to be getting smaller and smaller, and there is always that lingering sadness between her eyebrows.
For so many years, she has achieved neither merit nor fault.
The entire sect is tepid, not as good as those above, but more than enough compared to those below.
But on this day, something big happened to the sect.
This woman who never wanted to succeed to the position of the sect leader and only wanted to be the sect leader of that generation was seriously injured.
The reason was just because he didn't want to submit to others, so another sect threatened to become a Taoist couple with this woman, and at the same time, let her use the entire sect as a dowry.
Of course she refused.
Another sect held a Hongmen Banquet. There were two glasses of wine on the table, one was the immortal wine, and the other was the incurable poisonous wine.
Two, choose one.
As long as he can make it to the bottom of the mountain alive, the matter will be considered solved.
The woman said nothing, never glanced at the two glasses of wine, she took one glass and drank it in one gulp.
Then he put down the wine glass gently, turned around and left without saying a word.
The Hongmen Banquet was unusually quiet.
It was very quiet until the woman left for a long time.
The woman did not walk against the wind, but just walked to the foot of the mountain.
The woman's back was turned to everyone in the sect. Unknown to everyone, she was already bleeding from all her orifices.
When she Yu Feng returned to the sect, her fate was already approaching.
The woman staggered into the Patriarch Hall, picked up the stone that had been enshrined with the spiritual tablet, and held it in the palm of her hand.
She wiped the blood on her face with her other hand and murmured in a weak voice.
"I...may not see the day you were born."
"If you are born, I hope you can take everyone back to the home that originally belonged to us."
Suddenly, the woman covered her mouth with her hand and coughed violently several times.
Jet black blood flowed from between her fingers, and then dropped drop by drop on the bluestone.
What followed was two lines of clear tears from the woman.
The woman finally looked at the stone in her hand blankly and said only three words.
"sorry."
No one knows whether she is apologizing to the master or to the stone.
Or maybe... he's apologizing to himself.
The stone fell from the woman's hand and fell to the ground.
But no one cares.
Because no one believed it except her.
This is just a broken stone. Master is lying to them, just lying to them... They can't go back.
You can never go back... From this moment on, Chen Tian's consciousness returned to its original position, and the ordinary memories of accompanying this woman for one hundred and twenty years also entered his mind.
He is still himself, not a stone that knows nothing.
All the realizations were gathered in Chen Tian's mind, prompting him to sit down cross-legged and think back on everything he had experienced.
Only one hour passed, but Chentian had one hundred and twenty years of memories.
It seems like I have gone back to an unknown number of years ago, maybe a thousand years, maybe ten thousand years, or even more distant.
But Chen Tian did understand that the fuya in the second level closed the consciousness of the person who broke the level, leaving him without five senses and consciousness, and transformed into an insignificant thing from tens of millions of years ago.
But this trivial thing was once something that others cherished immensely.
In my ears, the ancient voice sounded again: "Time passes, and the arrow has passed."
After hearing this, Chen Tian raised his head.
This second level, presumably, should be accessible to everyone.
But...feeling the same feeling is always the hardest.
The easiest level to pass, in Chen Tian's opinion, is the most difficult.
The person who set up this level has obviously warned me thousands of times, but unfortunately... there is no sound.
As the environment around him changed, Chen Tian took one last look at the Fushi Pass.
Then the light bloomed, and Chen Tian also entered the next level.
