As the ghost god entered the depths of the island, an elegant bamboo house was built on the topmost mountain. The Youshen flew high into the sky above the bamboo house and said in a cold voice: "When you meet Emperor You, you need to be respectful, you know?"
"Youshen also pays attention to the red tape of these humans?" Lu Li glanced at it with a smile, but did not get any response.
Silently calming down his expression, Lu Li curled his lips and followed it down to the front of the bamboo house.
"My friends from the human race, please come in."
In the bamboo house, a gentle voice sounded again.
When Lu Li heard this, he thought for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "Junior Lu Li, please excuse me."
After saying that, Lu Li walked towards the bamboo house.
However, those ghost gods did not follow immediately. The gray mist around them twisted for a moment and turned into human forms.
The leader was tall and muscular, and under Lu Li's slightly surprised expression, he showed a threatening look.
He was obviously the Youshen who spoke just now.
Around him, there were male and female ghost gods in human form. Their only characteristic was the diamond-shaped mark between their eyebrows.
However, this group of people all had expressionless faces and their eyes were fixed on him, and they were still vaguely trying to flank him.
Lu Li suppressed the doubts in his mind and walked into the bamboo house silently.
As soon as you enter the bamboo house, a special fragrance hits your face. Lu Li sniffed and felt that the true energy in his body had increased a little. He immediately opened his exploratory eyes and looked around in surprise.
As expected, the entire bamboo house exudes a dazzling spiritual light, and it is a treasure whose value cannot be distinguished by an exploratory eye.
"My little friend, do you like this humble house made by 'Mingzhu'?"
Suddenly, the gentle voice that appeared twice before sounded again. Lu Li looked around and saw an old man slowly walking out.
Next to the old man, there was a girl in a skirt, looking at him with curious eyes.
"Mingzhu, this is the first time this junior has heard of it. It seems to be a unique treasure in Hanoi in the two realms." Lu Li looked at the old man, "Senior, is this You Emperor?"
"Haha, what they call "You Emperor" or "You Emperor" is all nonsense. They just call me "You Bo".
The old man waved his hand, and with the support of the girl, he walked to the chair and took a seat, and said to everyone present: "Sit down, everyone. It's rare for guests to come to the door, so don't show such hostility."
"Emperor You, this person is killing our compatriots and snooping around the 'Boundary City' at will. He must be a bad person!"
The burly man hummed: "And he is also related to Diao Weng, so he is probably the person sent by Diao Weng!"
"Oh?" The old man's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to signal Lu Li to sit down and talk. Then he smiled and said, "How are you doing, Mr. Diao? I haven't seen him in more than a hundred years."
After Lu Li sat down, he muttered: "To be honest, this junior is not very familiar with that... senior Diao Weng. We just saw him sitting by the river, so we went up to chat for a few words and asked about his return to the human world. Method."
"Humph, that's nonsense!"
The burly man said disdainfully: "The River of Two Realms is one of the roads leading to the Netherworld. How can there be a way back? Since you have come here, it means that your physical life is almost cut off. If you want to return to the human world, you have to rise from the dead and reverse it. How can you, a mere 'Martial Lord', accomplish the journey to heaven?"
"Martial Lord? Do you mean the realm of Mingyou?"
This was the first time Lu Li heard this new statement, "It turns out that here, the Mingyou Realm is called Wu Zun."
"An era has its own name. Being old-fashioned and nostalgic, they have never changed their minds about the division of realms, so they have been led astray."
The old man smiled and said: "In today's era, Wu Zunjing is indeed called Mingyou Grandmaster. There is no difference between the two. My friend, please do not take it seriously."
"Senior's statement is quite novel. I have read many ancient books. Nowadays, the True Martial Realm... that is, the human world, has been using the title of Grandmaster Mingyou for thousands of years. Is it possible that Senior is already thousands of years old?"
Lu Li looked at the old man and showed a meaningful smile.
The old man could naturally hear his temptation, but he did not shy away from the question: "In this boundary between life and death, time has no meaning. If you really want to say it, the old man was only a hundred years old during his lifetime, so he could not break through to the realm of a martial artist. , died at the end of his life. The remaining years were spent in the rivers of the two realms, and he had long forgotten how many years had passed."
Hearing this, Lu Li took a deep look at the old man, wrote down the title martial artist, and changed the subject: "Then senior invited me in, it shouldn't be as simple as just wanting to chat, right? When I mentioned the human world earlier, senior If you immediately invite me in, you must know something inside."
Having said this, Lu Li said again: "If senior really knows how to return to the human world, please don't hesitate to teach me."
"presumptuous!"
The burly man said in a deep voice: "Who is Emperor You? Do I need to answer such a ridiculous question of yours?"
"I have already said that you have reached the boundary between life and death. In the rivers of these two realms, there are only wandering souls who have had all their memories washed away, and living souls who want to forcefully go to the netherworld. Living souls like you are the only ones who can There is a way to abandon the physical body and go to the netherworld!"
"You Qing, don't be rude."
The old man scolded him tepidly. The burly man looked unwilling, but he still obeyed and kept silent.
Lu Li did not look at him, but looked at the old man and said, "I can't see it. If there are only living souls and wandering souls, Diao Weng and you all in the river of the two realms, how can they stay here?"
"Diao Weng is obviously not a living soul, let alone a wandering soul. He can feed on wandering souls. Although he conceals it very well, he should have entered the Two Worlds River in his physical body."
"As for you, not only can you fight with the help of the gray mist in the two rivers, you can even transform into human form..."
Lu Li shook his head, "In other words, you are originally human beings, not ghost gods."
At this point, Lu Li had almost guessed that he had been deceived and that the mysterious fisherman had lied about this matter.
Whether it was the soul-suppressing monument or the origin of Youshen, he didn't tell the truth.
Although he didn't know why he did this, after Lu Li figured it out, he immediately said: "Since you can preserve your memories and stay in the Two Boundary River, it means that the Two Boundary River is not actually a place where the boundary between life and death is at all. This place is just a self-contained place. If there is an entrance to a world, there will naturally be an exit."
"My little friend is indeed smart."
The old man was not angry at all, but smiled even more heartily: "Yes, the two boundary rivers do form a world of their own. But they are also the boundary between life and death. There is no conflict between the two."
"What do you mean?" Lu Li frowned.
"Since I know that the Netherworld exists in the world, little friend, I have never thought about why people must go to the Netherworld after death? There are hundreds of millions of warriors in the world. In Lao Chen's era, there were extremely many strong people in the Martial Lord Realm. Even the Martial Emperor Realm and even the Martial God It is not uncommon for the most powerful people to reach this level. These powerful people are supposed to transcend life and death, but if they fall, where will their souls go? Where will their shocking cultivation go?"
"A strong person in the Martial Emperor realm can spy on the origin of the world and sense the existence of other worlds. After reaching the Martial Emperor realm, he can even step through the void. The power of one person is comparable to a million soldiers. And the power of the Martial God is the power to destroy the world. They can travel around the world at will. Even if the body of such a strong person dies, their soul still has the power to destroy the world. What would happen if they were allowed to continue to stay in the world? "
"Have you never thought about these questions, little friend?"
When the old man said this, he took a few breaths, and the girl behind him hurriedly stepped forward to caress his chest.
The old man smiled and shook his head to show that he was fine, and then looked at Lu Li with his deep eyes: "The Netherworld is the prison of the most powerful, and the river of two realms is their shackles. No matter how powerful the existence is, after the death of the physical body, it will definitely Come to the River of Two Realms, calm his soul, wash away his memory, and enter the netherworld to consume his strength. Therefore, the River of Two Realms is a line between life and death. If you cross this line, no matter how powerful you are, you must follow this rules."
"The same goes for us."
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "The so-called ghost gods are just the reputations built up from generation to generation by those most powerful people who refuse to pass through the river of two realms."
When Lu Li heard this, he was surprised and said, "Can the state of the soul... also leave descendants?"
The old man looked at him and said with a smile: "The body shaped by the law of the two realms can allow you to directly enter the martial realm, why can't you give birth to offspring?"
