The gray smoke that filled the sky seemed to be dissipating bit by bit.
It no longer burns like a raging fire, nor does it sweep like a stormy sea. Instead, it becomes more and more nihilistic and misty.
and.
It doesn't look like the gray smoke is dissipating, but more like it's gathering.
That’s right!
Just gathering.
The gray smoke all over the sky gathered in the center of the image, forming a slowly rotating vortex, as if it was pregnant with something.
at the same time.
The originally bumpy void inside the palace is also gradually healing, and the cracks and holes are getting smaller and smaller, becoming less and less obvious. Especially as the gray smoke slowly gathers, the broken void in the palace is healing faster and faster.
The faster.
When the gray smoke in the sky no longer enveloped the void and all gathered into a whirlpool, the void in the palace was almost restored to its original state. Looking around, one could no longer see any cracks or holes, not even one, as if the void had never been broken.
It's been the same without leaving even a trace.
I don't know how long it took.
The void is finally restored.
It still looks like the ever-changing void that contains infinite mysteries.
The gray smoke that filled the sky also disappeared.
Only a gray-white vortex was left, slowly rotating.
The vortex turns more and more emptier, and the more it turns, the more ethereal it becomes.
Faintly, a figure seemed to be seen in the gray and white whirlpool, a twisted and blurred figure.
As the gray-white vortex becomes more and more ethereal, the originally distorted and blurry figures become increasingly clear.
It's a man.
A plain-looking man dressed in white.
The man stood in the void, his head lowered and his eyes closed.
It's like a reflection in the water, looming.
Three thousand ink-like long hair danced wildly as the gray whirlpool swirled.
Shengxue's white clothes also made a hunting sound as the gray and white vortex swirled.
Saw this man.
The old beggar hiding in Heishui Mountain flushed with excitement and shouted: "It's that boy! Look! It's that boy from Emperor You! Sister Heishui! No! Lady Heishui, it seems that your guess is right, Emperor You
That kid’s self-consciousness has really not been swallowed up! This kid is still alive! Still alive! Hahaha! I know that this kid is blessed with great fortune and will definitely not be swallowed up! Hahahaha!”
The old beggar was so excited that he clenched his fists, his body could not help but tremble, and his eyes were a little red!
The Black Water Empress, who was tightly wrapped in a black robe, had a cold face and expression that changed again and again. Although she tried her best to hide it, her eyes could not conceal her inner excitement.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if to restrain her inner excitement, and said: "Old beggar, I advise you not to be happy too early. It's too early to tell whether You Emperor's self-awareness has been swallowed up. You
You should know that if the divine consciousness and demonic thoughts outside the Great Dao devour the You Emperor's self-awareness, it will be equivalent to occupying his physical body. The appearance of the You Emperor's physical body does not mean that his self-awareness has not been swallowed up!"
Hear the words.
The excited old beggar suddenly fell silent.
He himself had fallen into the abyss of despair before.
Later, Lady Blackwater's speculation pulled him out of the abyss of despair, but with just two words, the old beggar fell into the abyss of despair again.
At this moment, watching Gu Qingfeng's figure gradually emerge, for the old beggar, he once again climbed out of the abyss of despair. He never thought that the words of the Black Water Empress would make him fall into the abyss of despair again!
This feeling of thinking about heaven and hell, reincarnating in hope and despair is really uncomfortable. The tortured old beggar feels even more painful than being suppressed in Guixu.
actually.
Talk about it.
The Black Water Empress did not deliberately want to attack the old beggar.
Instead of saying that her words extinguished the old beggar's renewed hope again and again.
Rather, she extinguished the hope in her heart time and time again.
Because she knows that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the greater the disappointment, the greater the despair.
She doesn't want to despair!
so.
Even if she reasoned that Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness might not have been swallowed up, he didn't dare to hold out too much hope.
Even now she witnessed Gu Qingfeng's physical body reappearing with her own eyes, she still warned herself again and again not to have any hope!
She didn't want to hope that what awaited her would be endless despair.
Maybe she can afford to wait and lose.
But she doesn't want to wait, and she doesn't want to lose!
"Sister Blackwater, you'd better pray that You Emperor's self-consciousness has not been swallowed up, otherwise, even if I tease you over and over again, I will never let you go!"
The old beggar was really fed up. His heart really couldn't bear the torture of wandering between hope and despair. He felt that he was about to collapse.
Inside the venue.
The gray-white vortex has become looming, like a wisp of blue smoke, but Gu Qingfeng's figure is getting clearer and clearer.
Not far away.
There is another person who has been staring, and is still staring in the open, and has never left.
This man was wearing a shabby monk's robe, a shabby monk's hat, shabby monk's shoes on his feet, and a shabby fan hanging on his waist.
Who else could he be if he wasn't a great monk?
When I witnessed Gu Qingfeng’s crazy demon slaughtering the great masters dormant in the void, when I witnessed Gu Qing’s figure disappearing bit by bit into the gray smoke that filled the sky, it is no exaggeration to say that Daxing Mad Monk is better than anyone else.
despair!
However, after the despair, when he gradually accepted the cruel reality, his heart also calmed down.
When he calmed down, he regained hope after being in despair.
Like the Black Water Empress and the old beggar, he also thought of someone.
Eternal and unknown.
The Black Water Empress suspected that Ancient Wuming had been secretly planning carefully, with the purpose of waiting for Gu Qingfeng to claim the Original Sin, and then kill him, thereby completely erasing the Original Sin.
Da Xing Luo Monk is more suspicious than Black Water Empress.
The Black Water Empress knew that Eternal Nameless could not just watch Gu Qingfeng's self-consciousness being swallowed up by beings outside the avenue, and the Daxing Mad Monk knew better than she did.
Based on this, Lady Heishui speculated that Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness might not have been swallowed up. After the mad monk calmed down, he gradually came to have this feeling.
only.
The Black Water Empress didn't dare to be 100% sure, and the Daxing Mad Monk also didn't dare to be 100% sure.
The Black Water Empress is waiting.
Monk Da Xing is also waiting.
In the void.
The looming gray-white vortex finally disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Gu Qingfeng's figure also appeared very clearly in everyone's sight again.
He just stood there in the void.
Keep your head down.
Close your eyes.
The black hair that had been flying around calmed down, and the flying white clothes stopped making any noise.
quiet!
Deathly silence.
here.
No one knows whether Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness has been swallowed up by the existence outside the avenue.
The great mad monk doesn’t know, the Black Water Queen doesn’t know, the old beggar doesn’t know, Cangyan doesn’t know, even the eternal unknown doesn’t know, and all the great masters in the sky and on earth don’t know.
Everyone is waiting.
Waiting for an answer.
Whether it's those who protect the avenue of heaven and earth, those who plot against God of Original Sin, or those who place their hopes on Gu Qingfeng, they are all waiting.
Especially when the gray-white vortex disappeared and Gu Qingfeng's figure clearly appeared, everyone's hearts were in their throats at this moment.
This is especially true for the great monk who is crazy.
As time passed bit by bit, there was still no movement in the ancient breeze in the void, still lowering its head and closing its eyes.
The old beggar hiding on the Blackwater Mountain stared at the ancient breeze in the void.
His mind, his spirit, his nerves, everything was in a state of extreme tension.
The old beggar only experienced this kind of extreme tension twice in his life. The first time was when he was waiting for the beginning of the era of innocence in the ancient times, and this is the second time.
He felt even more nervous and tormented than when he was waiting for the beginning of the Wudao Era.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from Gu Qingfeng.
The old beggar felt that he was going crazy.
He wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to investigate, but he didn't dare.
It’s not that he was afraid that after Gu Qingfeng’s self-consciousness was swallowed up by the existence outside the avenue, he would use his spiritual consciousness to explore, which would anger the existence outside the avenue and cause him to get angry.
The old beggar is not afraid of angering the beings outside the avenue, nor is he afraid of getting angry.
He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the cruel reality of Gu Qingfeng being swallowed up.
He had been tortured several times by the Black Water Empress before, leaving him wandering in despair and hope. No matter how strong the old beggar's psychological endurance was, he could not withstand such torture.
But just waiting is not an option, it would be too torturous and painful!
final!
The old beggar felt anxious, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and decided to risk his life!
I took several deep breaths in succession, but I still couldn't restrain the trembling in my heart.
He shook his head hard and drank another bottle of wine.
The old beggar clenched his fists, stretched his head, used his consciousness, and carefully explored the place.
Close!
Getting closer.
The old beggar closed his eyes nervously, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
However.
When he finally mustered up the courage to use his spiritual consciousness to explore Gu Qingfeng, he was dumbfounded.
Because he found that his spiritual consciousness could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng at all.
Opening his eyes, the old beggar slapped himself hard, cursing inwardly that he was so stupid and so nervous that he forgot about this!
The old beggar did not feel any surprise that his spiritual consciousness could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng. Instead of feeling surprised, he felt that he was too stupid.
Because before that, even if he used his spiritual consciousness, he could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng.
Since the divine consciousness cannot detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng, what should we do?
Why don't you go and take a look for yourself?
As soon as this idea came up, the old beggar directly rejected it without even thinking about it.
Originally, he had been tortured by the Black Water Empress and was about to collapse, so he finally made up his mind to go all out and use his spiritual consciousness to explore, but nothing was found.
The use of his spiritual consciousness to explore had exhausted the last bit of his endurance. The old beggar dared not go there to investigate in person no matter what.
