In the past, Gu Qing only regarded this matter as a hypothesis and did not take it seriously. Especially after witnessing the breakthrough of the two true saints, he regarded it as a ridiculous talk. But when he saw this skeleton, something came to his mind.
Come up with an idea, this hypothesis, maybe it's true.
Maybe there is really a force in the dark that is preventing all of this.
And the owner of the skeleton in front of him might have been destroyed by that force.
"But why were Long Yun Kuangxiao and Bai Zizai's breakthrough to the immortal path not blocked by this force?" Gu Qing frowned, this was what he was very puzzled about.
There may be a guess that can be briefly explained, that is, this force is selective in obstructing the true immortal way. Those who meet certain conditions will be erased by this force; those who do not meet the requirements will be turned a blind eye.
Just close one eye and let it go. Only in this way can the explanation be clear.
He sighed softly, this matter was too complicated, and the information he had now was very little, so it was difficult to deduce the truth of the matter.
"Ignore this for now, just take the remains away and give them to Zhuang Mengmeng, and leave the rest to find the answer later." He quickly made his choice.
He reached out and took out the dark green jade flute from under the palm of the skeleton. He felt that Xiao Bufan could be given as a gift to Lu Lan. He then waved his sleeves, whipping up a strong wind, and took the remains away.
And just when he was about to leave, he accidentally glanced at the position where the remains were sitting cross-legged just now, but his eyelids jumped.
Because there was a stone slab there, slightly tilted, revealing a cloth-like thing inside.
He immediately opened the stone slab and took out a piece of well-preserved yellow cloth. Looking down, he saw that it was covered with densely packed ancient seal characters.
"I traveled to the sky by boat... I accidentally touched the law of time and had some insights... I stepped into the river of time in the dark... What a great way! I will leave this volume of unnamed formulas for future generations if they are interested.
Preach for me, accept my inheritance, and explore the true meaning of time."
Gu Qing glanced at ten lines and quickly read all the information on the yellow cloth, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"The nameless formula is related to the long river of time?" Gu Qing's eyes flashed and he murmured to himself.
He suddenly became interested.
This River of Time was something he had never heard of before. It seemed to be a deeper level of the Great Path of Time. He was now on the lines of the Great Path of Time and had a deep understanding of it. For him, the nameless formula appeared at the right time.
Sitting cross-legged, he spread out the yellow cloth and silently read the words on it.
He read very carefully and missed every word.
After reading through it, my ears suddenly moved, and I could vaguely hear the sound of running water. This sound seemed to be right in front of me, but also seemed to be out of reach...
"Hallucination?"
He shook his head. With his level of cultivation, how high must a person be who can make him hallucinate? True immortality? People who are enlightened? Impossible!
But since it's not an illusion, where does the sound of running water come from? You know, he has carefully checked just now. There is no underground river within a dozen miles of this cave, so there can be no sound of running water.
"Could it be that the sound of water..."
His heart immediately moved and he started reciting it from the beginning again. After reciting the mantra for the second time, the sound of water flowing became louder.
…
Outside Tianming City, where Gu Qing and Zhuang Mengmeng and other semi-immortal level powerhouses were fighting just now, a black-robed figure appeared silently. This was an old man in black robes, and his appearance was extremely strange. Even those who were nearby in the city
None of the powerful men discovered it.
At this moment, the warring place has returned to calm, it is quiet, and there is not a soul in sight.
The black-robed old man waved his big hand into the void, and in an instant, the space was violently distorted, and scenes appeared one after another.
These scenes are clearly the scene of Gu Qing's fight with the seven and a half immortals just now.
Every detail is constantly replayed.
In the hands of the old man in black robe, time rotates and passes randomly like water...
When Gu Qing appeared and broke the Tortoise's prison, the scene suddenly froze, and the black-robed old man's calm eyes suddenly started to ripple.
"It's just a little guy who has just touched the surface of time. It seems that I am too worried." He smiled slightly, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, there was a strange movement in the grass next to it.
He snorted coldly, turned around suddenly, and said calmly: "You have been hiding for so long, come out!"
After a while, the patch of grass finally trembled, and a young monk in green robes walked out. He looked like he was in the middle stage of psychic life. His eyes looked at the old man in black robes, full of deep fear: "Bye...meet you, senior."
.”
"What's your name?" the old man in black robe asked calmly.
"Junior...Long Tianjun." The young monk in green robes was shaking violently, and he was extremely frightened inside.
What did he see? Time flowed back.
The old man in black robes in front of him could actually make time flow back with just a few movements, causing scenes that happened in the past to reappear before his eyes.
What a terrifying state this is?
He felt that this person was simply unfathomable, and if he wanted to kill him, it would probably only be a snap of his fingers.
"Long Tianjun, what a good name." The old man in black robe chewed these three words, his voice was kind and made people feel like spring breeze, "Tell me, what did you just see?"
"Wan...Junior didn't see anything." Long Tianjun discovered that the black-robed old man's tone was not harsh, nor did he mean to kill anyone as he imagined. He felt a little relieved and felt a bit of luck in his heart: Maybe this time
, he can really escape. Of course, he is a smart man and cannot admit that he has peeked into the other party's secret.
"You didn't see anything?" The old man in black robe chuckled and said, "Don't lie in front of me."
"Yes," Long Tianjun hurriedly replied, "Junior saw it just now. Senior just waved his hand and... just..."
He really couldn't go on because the scene was so horrific that it still deeply shocked his soul.
"Is it like this?"
The old man in black robe smiled slightly, suddenly raised his hand and waved it.
In an instant, countless streams of light appeared beside Long Tianjun, and time passed at an extremely terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, Long Tianjun's body grew old, died, and finally turned into a pile of fly ash, completely disappearing from this world. Just like that.
Silently erasing a powerful man in the psychic stage, the old man in black robe seemed to have done an insignificant thing.
"It's been a long time since I took action. I almost let an ant take advantage of the loophole." The old man in black robe shook his head and sighed.
Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something. He raised his head suddenly, and his calm expression disappeared in an instant, and he became furious like never before: "Damn it, there are still people who dare to covet my things... Damn it, damn it!"
He made a sudden stroke in the air, tearing the entire space apart. He stepped into it and entered a vast and vast special space in the blink of an eye.
…
When Gu Qing recited the nameless mantra eighty-one times, streams of light suddenly appeared around him, covering the sky and the sun, as if they were about to drown him. These streams of light could not be grasped or touched.
But it was everywhere, making him feel very uncomfortable.
He immediately stretched out his hands, trying to wipe away the flowing light. The flowing light was directly pushed away by him, revealing a passage leading to an extremely distant and deep space.
"What's this?"
He immediately approached cautiously, stuck his head out of the passage, and peered into everything inside.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
He saw that deep in the passage, there was a special world, with countless stars shining, and meteors racing, making it dizzying. What shocked him even more was that underneath this world, there were sparkling rivers.
, criss-crossed, densely packed, countless, just suspended in the void, neither falling nor collapsing...
The sound of running water was heard extremely clearly.
"Oh my god, what is this? Is it the legendary river of time?" Gu Qing felt that it was incredible. There were so many criss-crossing rivers of time, leading to every corner of the universe. The fairy world is in this "long river"
Surrounded by it, it looks very small like an egg yolk.
"This is the ultimate secret of the way of time... stepping into the long river of time."
A glimmer of enlightenment suddenly appeared in Gu Qing's mind.
Just when he was about to continue approaching one of the branches of the river, he suddenly felt a palpitating aura, as if he was being stared at by a peerless ferocious beast. That kind of murderous aura filled the world, and just one glance at it...
It makes people feel devastated.
"No, retreat quickly." Gu Qing did not expect that there would be a "riverkeeper" with extremely terrifying strength in the river of time. He immediately retreated without saying a word.
"Everyone who dares to covet my things will die!" A voice full of resentment and anger rushed over quickly, vowing to wipe out Gu Qing.
Gu Qing didn't have time to think too much, and immediately exited the long river of time. Suddenly, the tunnel collapsed and disappeared without a trace.
The moment he stepped out of the river of time, he glanced back and saw the menacing figure of an old man in black robes.
"Let's go!"
Gu Qing didn't have time to think too much. With a "bang", he fell from the tunnel and fell into the Yunwu Mountain cave. He was about to retreat immediately.
At this time, a cloud of black mist suddenly descended, and suddenly, the entire Yunwu Mountain seemed to be shaking violently.
From within the black mist, a person slowly stepped out, and it was the old man in black robe.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would actually reach this point. Hey, that's his cave... It seems that you have obtained his inheritance. If you peep at Dabao, you will be punished!" The man said as he walked over.
Muttering to himself, he blocked the entrance of the cave through which Gu Qing came out.
Gu Qing was horrified, who is this old man? He can actually enter and exit the river of time at will, and his strength is terrifying and boundless. It is simply shocking.
He didn't have time to think too much, and punched through a cave wall with a "poof" and burst out directly.
"Want to escape? Come back to me!"
The black-robed old man sneered, and like a god who dominated everything in the world, he waved forward, countless rays of light splashed, and in an instant, the dimensions of time and space were all distorted, and the vast laws of the universe that naturally operated were all retrograde.
