Pei Jing had watched this competition on Wentian Peak in the Buddha Hall.
It’s just that there were two different feelings between then and today.
As everyone walked towards Wentian Peak, the appearance of the world's No. 1 Peak appeared before everyone. There was a small flat area on the top of the peak, covered with years of snow. Here, the sky was completely hidden in the clouds, and the mist was floating, and the wind was like white waves floating in the air.
A pitch-black stone tablet stands on the top of the Wentian Peak. It is simple and hard, and on it, one hundred names are carved out stroke by stroke. The world's supreme ranking list - the Wentian Ranking. It seems to have existed since the beginning of the world, and leaving a name on the Wentian Ranking has always been the lifelong wish of all cultivators within a thousand years.
It represents supreme glory and recognition from the world.
Pei Jing was in a soul state, standing in front of the Heavenly Questioning Stone. He looked at the first name "Ji Wuyou" on it and fell silent. His gaze seemed a little distant, as if he was remembering something.
In the midst of heavy snow and the silence of heaven and earth, only two people could remain on the summit of Wentian Peak.
The rest of the people were blocked at the bottom of the mountain and could only look up from a slope, with envy and sighs in their eyes. The competition between the first place of the previous Heavenly Ranking and the first place of the Heavenly Ranking before that was a rare event in a thousand years.
Ji Wuyou has been standing here for a long time, his fingers are cold, and the wind and snow have made him dazed - he seems to have gone back in time to the very beginning, which is also this season.
In his unawakened childhood, he went to Yunxiao in a daze, was beaten and trampled, thrown out of the mountain gate, fell in the mud, tired and hungry but couldn't get up.
Then the man picked flowers and walked on the moon, coming up with the drizzle.
Her white clothes are as white as snow, and her eyes are smiling.
It became the light that was out of reach before his eyes, and also the thorn that was difficult to remove in this life.
The Queen Mother of the West said that he was born an evil person.
From his initial anger to his current silence, he slowly accepted his evil nature. He was destined to kill, to be ruthless, and to be ungrateful from the moment he was born.
He couldn't tell whether the words he said to the people of the world were deceiving himself or deceiving the world.
All he knew was that Pei Yuzhi must die, otherwise he... would never be able to succeed in his magic path.
What is this? Ji Wuyou looked up, the crazy jealousy in his eyes slowly dissipated, and his fingers brushed across the sword in his hand.
With a sneer, this counts as killing the master to prove his truth.
The goddess in Penglai, who was dressed in an elegant aqua-blue dress, smiled and said after learning everything yesterday: "Interesting, is this the ruthless way of your demon clan? Gratitude, love, friendship, pity, and jealousy are all forbidden?"
"Then you are born evil."
She curled her lips, "If an ordinary person met Pei Yuzhi in such a scene and was saved by him, they would definitely be determined to recognize him, and either develop a deep affection for him or a sense of admiration for him, worshiping him as a god and believing in him. Only you, and only you - when you see the light in the abyss, you feel inferior at first; when you are redeemed in adversity, you feel jealous at first; when you see his grace, you want to replace him at first."
The words that came out of her bright red lips were like a poisonous snake, biting through his hypocritical appearance, and the venom seeped into his heart that had long been rotten and dark.
Ji Wuyou looked at her coldly, and seeing the ambiguous smile in her eyes, he finally chose to turn around and leave.
He and the Queen Mother of the West are destined to be different.
Even though that crazy woman had many bones under her clothes, she had done all kinds of evil things, including slaughtering the whole family.
But it's still different.
The original sin of that woman was arrogance. And he was probably born with sin.
It was not until he put the sword to Pei Yuzhi's throat that Ji Wuyou slowly came back to his senses.
The man was half-kneeling with his sword in the snow, his clothes were covered in blood, and his silver hair hung down to cover his expression. But this humiliating and humble look still made Ji Wuyou laugh.
The crowd on the hillside was in an uproar. Some had complicated expressions and compassion, while others laughed out loud to relieve their hatred. Watching the fall of the proud son of heaven was a dirty hobby for many people.
The world is silent.
Ji Wuyou took a step forward and said softly, "Pei Yuzhi, Master."
His eyes were ferocious, and all emotions other than indifference in his heart were crushed.
But it was not enough, the jealousy still lingered.
He looked at me with a hint of nostalgia and spoke softly.
"From the first time I saw you, I aspired to be someone like you."
"Look, you saved me, but I didn't think about gratitude or repaying you. Instead, I wanted to become someone like you, bright and respectful, admired by the world. It turns out that my thoughts were wrong from the beginning."
"After hundreds of years of ridiculous imitations, I finally understood. In fact, I shouldn't have been obsessed with the idea I had at the beginning. When I was obsessed to the end, it was no longer a yearning, but hatred."
"My hatred for you has even become my inner demon, the obstacle that has prevented me from ascending to the sky."
"How can I eliminate this hatred? Oh, it's better to give up the original yearning."
"For example, what is there about you now that is worthy of my admiration?"
A violent black aura emerged from his side. His entire body began to undergo strange changes. His skin became lighter and more transparent, but his bones emitted a white and green light, wrapped in a black mist. From a distance, he looked like a skeleton.
Ji Wuyou's expression calmed down.
"I want my sword back."
He stretched out his hand and broke Pei Yuzhi's hand.
The young man spat out a mouthful of blood, his arm fell down, and curled up on the ground bit by bit, but he couldn't hold anything.
Ji Wuyou said.
"I will destroy your cultivation and make you a useless person."
His sword pierced into Pei Yuzhi's dantian, turned over, and chewed up his flesh and blood.
"I will sever your meridians and send you to hell forever."
Ji Wuyou said.
"I want your pride to be gone."
Ji Wuyou listened to the young man's howl due to the severe pain. Finally, he couldn't hold back. His calm appearance broke and he smiled ugly and ferociously: "Master, don't blame me. You were the first to steal something that didn't belong to you."
What is behind Wentian Peak? No one knows, but Ji Wuyou knows. It is the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
The most holy place in the world and the most evil place in the world are adjacent to each other.
"Go to hell."
He said softly.
"If you die, there will be no Pei Yuzhi in this world anymore."
He used his sword to cut off the young man's fingers as he was clinging to the edge of the broken wall. The black mist dissipated and the purple clothes fluttered.
He smiled smugly and said word by word: "Only me, Ji Wuyou."
The original desire to replace it.
Today, it finally appears.
Pei Jing's eyes turned red with anger: "He's a beast!"
The young man's roars and screams mixed with the wind and snow, making his heart ache.
As the young man fell into the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
Chu Junyu also took his hand and walked down.
Pei Jing was held by his wrist. He was stunned for a moment, but did not struggle. He just felt very distressed and asked, "Did it hurt a lot?"
Chu Junyu said calmly: "Not bad."
Pei Jing asked: "Are you okay?"
Chu Junyu said, "I forgot."
Pei Jing held his hand and stopped talking.
The road to the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts was dark and chaotic, with no sound or color. Only Chu Junyu's hand was something he could feel.
Before I even walked in, the bloody and sticky smell had already reached my nose, stinging my whole body. This was an extremely evil place, full of demons and monsters, and evil spirits were everywhere.
This place was not unfamiliar to Chu Junyu. He even knew every direction by memory. When his meridians were destroyed and he became a cripple and fell into the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, it was the most desperate and helpless time for him. Without cultivation and powerless, he was greeted by the bites of evil ghosts and the coils of poisonous snakes. Fortunately, the soul of the sword was there, so he did not die even though his body was broken into pieces. He survived by relying on hatred.
Chu Junyu's power can still be used even in the illusion created by the Heavenly Dao, and it is not difficult to create light.
But he would rather have total darkness.
After all, there are some things he doesn't want Pei Jing to see.
When my feet touched the ground, it was still dark and I couldn't see anything.
Pei Jingxin couldn't help but shout, "Chu Junyu?"
"Yes." Chu Junyu responded and comforted him: "Follow me and you will be able to get out of the illusion."
Pei Jing didn't want to say this, and looked around anxiously: "Where are you?"
Chu Junyu chuckled: "Can't you feel where I am?"
Pei Jing: "No, I'm asking where you are after you fall into the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons."
Chu Junyu's smile faded slightly: "I forgot."
Pei Jing lowered his head gloomily, followed his hand in the dark and touched his back.
Then she took a step forward and hugged his waist. She put her head against his and felt his cold hair and cold breath.
Chu Junyu also vaguely felt that Pei Jing's mood might really be affected by this illusion, so he became particularly clingy.
He restrained his cold temperament, and said patiently, "What I suffered in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons was just physical pain, not as painful as you think."
"After that, destroy the soul of the sword and rebuild the dantian. It's just a matter of practicing again. It's not difficult."
He was too gentle today, so gentle that Pei Jing's eyes were hot, but he smiled first. He was somewhat ironic about himself in his heart. It was clearly the hell that Chu Junyu had experienced before, but why was he the one who was comforted
The pain of the flesh, the sword was destroyed, and the golden elixir was rebuilt. His words, which were said lightly, must have been a painful pain to the young man whose faith had collapsed. The mere fact that the sword cultivator destroyed his sword... made him feel cold all over.
Pei Jing whispered: "Is this why you stopped me in the first place?"
Chu Junyu was stunned: "What?"
Pei Jing: "Inside the magma chamber at the bottom of the Spirit Refining Building. You didn't let me follow you, saying that to gain the power of the Heaven Punishing Law, I would have to go through many hardships. Are you afraid that I can't bear it?"
Chu Junyu was silent for a while, then smiled: "Yes."
Pei Jing: "So, it's not as easy as you said. You lied to me again."
Chu Junyu said: "It's easy for me, but difficult for you."
Pei Jing asked calmly, "But we are one person, why do you think you can do it but I can't!"
Originally there was one person.
Chu Junyu smiled, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I used to be you, but you will never be me."
Pei Jing was blocked by his words. When he opened his mouth, his throat felt bitter and he couldn't ask anything.
Chu Junyu said softly: "Many times, I look at you as if you were a stranger. I guess you should look at me the same way."
Yes, Chu Junyu was even more of a stranger to him.
The complete opposite.
Light and dark, hot and cold.
Chu Junyu's eyes were calm and gentle in the darkness, and he said, "But, precisely because I know you, I know you can't."
There is hell under your feet, and beside you is the darkness that devours light and shadow.
Because it was too quiet, his mind was no longer immersed in grief and sadness, and Pei Jing listened to his words blankly. He had not found the answer when he entered the illusion and learned the truth. When his brain was blank, the question in his mind took root in his heart.
Surfaced at this moment.
Then Pei Jing heard himself asking softly.
"So what am I to you?"
Just a past self? Such a ridiculous label.
Chu Junyu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Even though I know you so well, you always give me unexpected surprises."
Then he turned around, put his fingers on the boy's shoulder, and repeated Pei Jing's words in a tone as light as snow: "What are you to me?"
He smiled and said, "It's a stranger I know very well."
Pei Jing clenched his teeth tightly.
Chu Junyu paused, his heart suddenly filled with tenderness.
Through the darkness, he leaned over and gently kissed the person in front of him in hell.
Only then did I realize that the boy's eyes had already been cold and moist.
He said: "It's my current lover."
It is the light in my eyes and the fire in my heart.
Time goes by forever, love and hate come to an end, and this is the last obsession in this world.
