There is the deepest part of Tiandao Palace.
Surrounded by dense forests, it blocks the sky and the sun. A cold air spread from the source, more gloomy than anything Ji Feichen had encountered before.
Then, the three stopped in front of a stone gate.
The door was engraved with strange lines, and even if it had not been opened, Ji Feichen seemed to be able to vaguely feel the mourning at the other end of the door.
The mourning sound was not clear, not ringing in the ears, but more like a voice that appeared in people's minds, mixed with great despair.
What is it that can cause such great despair.
The sect master opened his palm and pressed it on the stone door, blood flowing along the lines. The stone gate lit up red light in an instant, the earth shook, the dust fell rustling, and the heavy stone gate slowly opened.
"Woooooo-"
cry.
resentment.
And the depression that made people feel sad in the bottom of their hearts.
The Sect Master didn't move, he was silent for a long time, and finally took a step slowly, and his voice was old: "Master Ji, I was just like you when I was young.
Ji Feichen paused slightly, but did not speak.
"At that time, I also had fellow Taoists who were in the same mind, and my reputation and popularity made me dizzy, and I didn't know the sky and the earth, thinking that I was unparalleled in the world and that anyone could save me."
The Sect Master led the people all the way forward, narrating as he walked, but his tone was too calm, as if he was not telling his own story.
"I wanted to prove to the world that I was omnipotent at the time. Hunting those ghosts was my way of proving myself. After each ghost dies, there will be a magic pill left behind. There are countless magic pills I took down. , touting, bragging, making me feel like I really can do anything."
"Until I met the Ten Thousand Years Cultivation Realm Tongtian Heart Nightmare, it was a death fight. The Heavenly Dao Palace sent a whole branch to remove the demon, but it was still hit hard. We fought for three days and three nights, and finally, My companion risked his life to overdraw his spiritual power, which created a unique opportunity for me to kill him with one blow."
"But at that time, I suddenly found out. Tongtian Xinmai kidnapped my junior sister and hid it in his lifeline. If I kill it, my junior sister will also die. If I don't kill it, my life will be blocked for me. The companions who paved the way will be killed by the backlash."
"I hesitated, I can't make a choice." The head stopped, raised his head, and looked at the sky above the sky covered with dark clouds, "Then, the junior sister died, and so did the companion. Because of my hesitation, I Nobody can save you."
"Master Ji, if it were you, what would you choose?"
This is a choice that no one has an immediate answer to.
"I know you can't answer." The head turned his head and looked at Ji Feichen, "So at that time, I suddenly realized, at least at the time, how much I hoped that someone would make a choice for me and let me get rid of that painful contradiction. liberation."
"Do you know why Tiandao Palace is called Tiandao Palace?"
"The coexistence of seven emotions and six desires is not the way of heaven, but the way of humanity. Heavenly punishment will not consider your joys, anger, sorrows, and joys. It is a decision that must be made."
Ji Feichen: "I don't know how to choose, but I won't make decisions for others."
Sect Leader: "You're just afraid of getting a bad name."
Ji Feichen clenched his fists subconsciously, pursed his lips, but did not speak.
The Sect Master laughed and turned to look at Xie Wuyan: "Xie Wuyan, look..."
"Don't ask me, I can save both." Xie Wuyan gave him a cool look.
His eyes were full of: You are still the head of the family with such a dish.
Head: "..."
Ji Feichen: "..."
Hanging up ruins the gaming experience.
Xie Wuyan's purpose was very clear. He didn't seem to be affected by the long story of the headmaster at all, but went straight into the depths of the jungle.
I don't know how long it took, but finally I saw the moon.
Ji Feichen's pupils shrank slightly, stunned in place.
It was a hillside with no end in sight, and there were countless tombstones standing on the hillside, densely packed. From under each tombstone, you can see the unique charm of Tiandao Palace.
A spell used to suppress, imprison, and bind the soul.
Ji Feichen raised his head, only to realize that it was not the dark clouds that covered the sky.
But the dead souls, because there are too many, and they are trapped here by the spell and cannot survive, so they are like a bottomless dark cloud, circling all day long with despair.
"who are they?"
"My clan."
Xie Wuyan raised his head, looked at the sect master, and said lightly: "Indeed, twenty years ago, they believed that the blood burning technique had completely disappeared. But the Heavenly Dao Palace never intended to give up the power of this bloodline, and every one who died in the Clan people, as long as their souls are not scattered, they will be imprisoned here."
"why?"
"For the sake of reincarnation." Xie Wuyan said, "They are betting on a chance, whether these souls will have a chance after countless reincarnations, and a person with a blood-burning constitution will reappear."
"What if it didn't show up?"
Xie Wuyan did not answer.
But Ji Feichen knew the answer.
So these souls are always here.
Under the control of Tiandao Palace, countless reincarnations have been carried out.
Reincarnated and killed again.
Reincarnation forever.
Never exceed birth.
Ji Feichen clenched his sword: "The head said that for the sake of the world, he never thought that these new lives that you have killed time and time again with your own hands are also living people?"
Xie Wuyan was very calm: "Will your heart hurt for a failed sword?"
Ji Feichen looked at the head.
The head said, "Young Master Ji, when you thought I was doing everything, you never thought about how many people in the world would not agree with me?"
Ji Feichen stared into his eyes.
"My deadline is approaching. Those infamy and criticism are not important to my old bones. As long as the blood burning technique is likely to be passed down, there will be another person in the world who can compete with Xie Wuyan, and the demons can be suppressed, and there will be no future generations. Worry, I have no regrets." The head smiled, "Ji Gongzi, if you want to be clean, you will never be a person who truly benefits the common people."
As soon as the words fell, the head's white hair flew up and down together with his robe, and his whole body was surrounded by a golden light, and every inch of his body was surging.
The thunder roared loudly, one more violent than the other.
"Xie Wuyan, today is where you will be buried, and I will return with you—"
However, before the words were finished, the voice stopped abruptly.
Xie Wuyan didn't lift his eyelids, he raised his hand and pinched his head as expected, his two fingers tightened slightly.
The man who was still aggressive just now seemed to have been drained of all spiritual energy in an instant, the aura on his body suddenly dissipated, the golden light surged towards Xie Wuyan's palm, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
"you… "
Xie Wuyan retracted his hand in disgust and blew his fingers.
The head slumped on the ground, his eyes dimmed like a puppet, and after a long time, he looked at Ji Feichen expectantly: "Ji Gongzi, you were born in a prestigious family, and now is a good opportunity for you to save the people..."
Ji Feichen squatted down and looked at him: "I refuse."
Now the Sect Master has no energy to ask Ji Feichen the reason for his choice. He watched Xie Wuyan stretch out his hand, and watched the ghosts that gathered into the dark clouds move towards him, and in a dazed and tentative manner, he gently touched his fingertips. .
"Xie Wuyan! You can't do this!"
"Why can't I do this?" Xie Wuyan laughed, "I'm not a decent person, but a monster with dirty blood and no evil."
Saying that, he put his hand into the unfathomable ghost and closed his eyes.
In an instant, the wind suddenly picked up.
"boom"
In just an instant, the tombstones all over the mountains and plains exploded at the same time, the stone and soil splashed, and the golden light flickered.
The dark cloud was torn apart in an instant, and countless souls flew towards the sky, spectacular and sad.
Should be over.
For thousands of years, endless reincarnation of suffering.
Just like the last bit of faith was smothered, the head was like a broken rag doll, kneeling on the ground, his body crumbling.
Xie Wuyan didn't look at him, took a step forward, and walked straight ahead.
Ji Feichen followed, and the two of them didn't mention what happened just now: "So, you called me here to show me how strong you are?"
"Ah, half." Xie Wuyan said.
...fortunately you are strong enough.
Otherwise, he would have been assassinated thousands of times.
Ji Feichen didn't mention what the head of Tiandao Palace said just now, because there were many things for which there was no absolutely correct answer.
Having made a choice, there is no need to ask why the choice was made.
Soon, Xie Wuyan found where he was going.
It was like a dungeon there.
Just getting close, you will find that there is an extremely powerful suppression technique here.
"That's what I need you to do for me."
"what?"
"There is a ghost here, called Tongtian Xinmai."
"… Heavenly Heart Nightmare?"
It was only the Tongtian Heart Nightmare that caused the tragedy of the year.
"Yeah, but it's no different from ordinary Netherworld now."
"...so what do you want me to do?"
"Kill it."
Ji Feichen was startled.
For Xie Wuyan, killing this Heavenly Heart Nightmare was even easier than squeezing an ant, so why did he have to let him do it
But Ji Feichen didn't ask, he nodded and walked into the dungeon.
No one has been here for a long time, and there is a stench everywhere. Occasionally, a few clattering sounds of iron chains and subtle snorts are heard.
Looking for the faint voice, Ji Feichen found the Heaven-reaching Nightmare.
It is indeed not the slightest threat.
The torment of Tiandao Palace over the years has made it completely lose the prestige that could stir the universe in the past.
It was penetrated by ecstasy nails all over its body, and it hung on the wall like this, with wounds that could not heal all over its body. There was only one breath left, but he kept it alive.
Seemingly sensing someone coming, Tongtian Xinmai opened his eyes, looked at Ji Feichen for a long time, and slowly closed them again.
Ji Feichen couldn't see the slightest desire for life in its eyes.
Why, Xie Wuyan wanted to kill such an underworld demon that was no longer threatening.
The moment he pulled out the Feiling Sword, Ji Feichen suddenly knew the reason.
Even though it was very weak, he could still feel the aura emanating from Tongtian Xinmai.
That was the killing aura that Xie Wuyan exuded when he made no secret of his strength.
Exactly the same.
as if from the same root.
Ji Feichen suddenly remembered the rumor.
Why is Xie Wuyan so powerful
Because what flows through him is the most powerful bloodline among human beings, and the most violent killing intent among underworld demons.
I see.
When Ji Feichen came out of the dungeon, the sky had completely sunk.
Xie Wuyan sat on the top of the mountain with his hands on his knees, staring at the bright moon in the sky boredly.
"Here." Ji Feichen handed the magic pill to Xie Wuyan.
Xie Wuyan took it, put it on his hand and played with it for a while, then sandwiched it between his two fingers and crushed it lightly.
Randomly like popping a bubble.
"By the way, about the blood burning technique..."
Xie Wuyan: "From now on, there will be no more blood burning techniques."
Ji Feichen pondered for a moment and felt right.
Those who bear this kind of secret technique will definitely become the target of public criticism.
But soon he remembered: "Wait, but I remember that you and Wanqing have the blood of this family, in case in the future..."
"No." Xie Wuyan said.
It took Ji Feichen a long time to realize what Xie Wuyan meant.
He was stunned for a while.
Although he would not interfere with Xie Wuyan and Shen Wanqing's future lives, he was still somewhat curious. After all, the cultivation world is still somewhat obsessed with the inheritance of blood, especially the more powerful people, the more they pay attention to the continuation of their own family.
So he was simply curious about the reason.
Ji Feichen asked, "Why?"
Xie Wuyan: "Why?"
Ji Feichen felt like he was talking about tongue twisters, but he still explained: "In the world of self-cultivation, most of these things have to be explained."
Xie Wuyan thought for a while, then laughed: "She's afraid of pain."
After speaking, he moved his arms and stood up: "Let's go."
"Wait." Ji Feichen stopped him, thought for a while, and then said solemnly, "I decided to entrust the love... to you."
Quiet.
It was as if only the sound of the wind could be heard.
"what?"
After a long time, Xie Wuyan opened his mouth, his face was inexplicable: "Do you agree?"
"…"Grass.
Then the two started fighting again.
"I don't agree. When I go back today, I'll bring the love back to Ji's house."
"Laugh to death, just you?"
The two of them pinched all the way until they reached the entrance of Tiandao Palace, when they suddenly heard the sound of "Aiyo, yo".
Looking up, Shen Wanqing stood on the high platform in the main hall of the Tiandao Palace with his hips on his shoulders, and most of the disciples of the Tiandao Palace knelt down in unison.
"I'll give you one last chance, okay?"
"Wuwuwu we really don't know where Xie Wuyan went, so he came to beat us for no reason and then disappeared."
"I don't care, I didn't find it."
"You've been beating us all the time! You didn't look for it at all!"
Shen Wanqing thought about it, and it was right, but she soon began to make rhetoric.
"Can't you take the initiative to help me find it? I'm not familiar with Tiandao Palace!"
"But Xie Wuyan at that time, it was too late for us to hide, how to find it?"
"You are such a powerful sect, why are your disciples so cowardly? Even a little girl like me dares to look for Xie Wuyan, don't you dare?"
"...You are his favorite concubine! We are not!"
"You're talking back!"
Then Shen Wanqing beat him up again.
The disciples of Tiandao Palace were crying.
This is definitely out of anger, right
Ji Feichen covered his eyes, unwilling to admit that this was his sister.
Xie Wuyan stood a few meters away with his arms crossed, watching, letting Shen Wanqing make such a fuss.
After a while, the sharp-eyed Tiandao Palace disciples realized that they pointed their hands and shouted as if relieved: "Xie Wuyan! Xie Wuyan is there!"
Shen Wanqing raised her head and looked up, her brows and eyes suddenly curved, she ran over and jumped into Xie Wuyan's arms and acted like a spoiled child: "Why don't you take me out to fight?"
