After Yang Ling stepped into the gate, a boundless water appeared at his feet, in addition to water or water, water is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky without a trace of clouds, he stood at the starting point, his feet were held up by an invisible force, and the next step was to move forward with the steps that the ancestors of the human race knew.

If the pace is wrong, or the fate does not match, it will fall into the water, after falling into the water, there is no cultivation, no different from ordinary people, can only exhaust physical strength and drown, the purpose of setting up this formation is that in addition to the human race, no other race can calculate their own fate, this is a unique method of the human race, so even the first level can not be passed.

Yang Ling was full of confidence, thinking that this water area was much easier than the other formations, as long as he walked over with his steps, there was no resistance.

He took a step forward to the left and right, but the accident happened, he did not step on the hidden path and fell into the water.

"Impossible, why can't I move forward, I'm not a water life?"

Yang Ling struggled in the boundless water, which was different from what he imagined, swimming in the water and shouting, he obviously followed the steps, but he couldn't move forward a single step.

He swam desperately around, with a hint of desire to survive, looking for a hidden path, which unfortunately only appears when he takes a step, otherwise this is a simple body of water, and there is nothing but him.

......

Yuan Hu saw the three of them disappear after entering the formation gate in front of the archway, he recognized this formation, for Yang Ling, this formation is very simple, and it is not difficult to pass.

After he saw the three of them enter the formation, he closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for the three of them to pass, Zhang Jiahui's props could only see the three brothers in the illusion, but could not penetrate into the formation, the shadow of the three brothers in the secret realm of the fifth layer of the ground had advanced to a place where they could not see with their eyes, that could only represent their process, and they could only be inherited in the end.

......

Yang Ling, who struggled for several hours, finally gave up looking for the non-existent shore, and let the boundless waters swallow him, from the beginning of falling into the water, he knew that he was finished, but he was unwilling.

Now he is no different from ordinary people, without a trace of aura, without a trace of cultivation, unable to breathe in the water, and closing his eyes to welcome death.

"My brother, I'm sorry, I'm incompetent and can't move forward with you, you will definitely be able to get out of the predicament and fulfill your lifelong dream......"

Yang Ling gradually sank into the bottomless abyss, he lost his breath, lost consciousness little by little, in the last moment of his life, his mind was full of his two brothers, he could only accept his fate, he could only pray for them in his heart at the end.

"Do you want to turn into water and live in this water for the rest of your life?"

The moment before Yang Ling lost consciousness, a voice sounded in Yang Ling's mind, this voice was very ethereal, and it kept echoing in Yang Ling's mind.

Yang Ling opened his eyes suddenly, but found that he was out of the water, in a void space, this space was pitch black, there was no continent, no stars, only a dusty stone tablet in front of him.

The stele is very old, and some places have cracked, and the four big characters engraved on it reveal a bleak atmosphere in the stele, which makes Yang feel a chill.

"Am I dead? That voice was ...... just now."

Yang Ling looked down at his hands and asked himself, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead now, but here he was already able to breathe normally, and he could also feel the true yuan and aura in the dantian.

"I'm still stunned, I'm overconfident, I've pushed myself down the abyss. ”

A word with a hint of ridicule came into Yang Ling's ears, and he looked around, but he didn't find anyone there.

"Who's talking?"

Yang Ling was puzzled, raised his head and asked the sky.

"Hey, hey, where are you looking, can't you even tell the way?"

Yang Ling looked at the place where this sentence came from, it was the stone tablet in front of him, and the sound was very small, and if he didn't pay attention, he really couldn't hear it.

Yang Ling walked towards the stele and walked for a long time, but the stele in front of him could not be reached, only gradually enlarged in his eyes, he stopped and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Or is it the first time I've been asked this question, how do I know who I am?"

After hearing Yang Ling's words, the stele said in a questioning tone.

Yang Ling froze in place after hearing the answer of the distant stone tablet, not knowing how to answer.

"I ask you, who am I?"

Yang Ling was stunned and did not move, and another question came from the direction of the stone stele.

"Who you are how could I possibly know. ”

Yang Ling was also asked this kind of thing for the first time, and he didn't know how to answer at all, if he was outside, he would definitely be regarded as finding fault.

"You don't know why you ask, don't ask if you don't know, remember!"

The voice of the stele this time was very serious, like a father educating his children, and the meaning of his words was also unpredictable.

Yang Ling was very angry after hearing this, and ran desperately towards the stone tablet, he must see what the hell the other party is, he actually dares to embarrass him, anyway, he is already dead, what if he dies again, he can't swallow this breath.

The sound in the direction of the stele disappeared, Yang Ling ran for a long, long time, and did not run in front of the stele, but this ancient stele gradually enlarged in front of Yang Ling's eyes, he did not continue to move forward, stopped his body and breathed heavily, because he felt that the more he ran, the more tired he became, the thinner the air became, his current cultivation was not up to cutting off the supply of aura, and breathing was to inhale the aura in the air and refine it to the dantian to maintain his physical strength.

"Hehe, I'm confused, do you know why I'm so tired?"

There was a sound of ridicule coming from the direction of the stele, Yang Ling clenched his fists and asked towards the stele, "Why?"

"Because you can't see the road under your feet, you only see the end, you can't feel your footsteps, you never know how far you are from your goal. ”

"Alas, your mind is bound by your own cognition and feels that you cannot reach the end, so you stop moving forward. ”

The stele preached to Yang Ling again, this time Yang Ling understood, did not refute, the stele in front of him was hundreds of meters high in his eyes, blocking all his vision, he could see, but did not arrive, the road under his feet was a void, there was nothing, he couldn't feel how far he had gone, and he didn't know how long the remaining road was, he only knew that he had been running in a dark space for a long time.

"You take a step further and reach out and touch it. ”

The stele spoke again, and after Yang Ling heard it, he took a step forward and touched the stele in front of him according to the stele's words.

"It's... I've arrived?"

Yang Ling touched the stele and retracted his hand, which was covered with dust.

"Look, you're just one step away, but you're just stuck on the road, if I don't tell you, will you move forward?"

Indeed, if Yang Ling was not reminded, he thought that he would not be able to reach the bottom of the stone stele, thinking that this was an endless road, and the stone stele was just an illusion in front of him.

At this moment, he realized that the words coming out of the stone tablet were all truths, such as the previous sentence, how could I know who I am?

This sentence seems to be a joke, but it contains how much bitterness and how much process, some people, for a certain goal will abandon themselves, they have no self in their eyes, only the goal they are trying to create, and when it is completed, who they are has long forgotten, and it no longer matters, the important thing is that the goal has been completed, and what determines their own existence, only what they have completed.

"Every word in the world has its truth, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless generations of the human race, just because you can't understand it now, and you will slowly realize it in the future, and how can you distinguish right from wrong when you realize something?"

The stele seemed to be able to see through Yang Ling's heart, in front of it, nothing could be hidden, he was just impulsive to see who was joking with him, and now in his heart there was nothing but respect for the stele and admiration.

"Senior, I don't know what to call it?"

Yang Ling took a few steps back, bowed respectfully towards the stone tablet, and his tone was extremely respectful.

"Do you know why you're here?"

The stele lost its seriousness, became less funny, and asked in a calm tone.

"I don't know. Yang Ling shook his head.

"You don't know, I know. ”

"I've been waiting for you here, because I know you're going to suffer this fate. ”

Yang Ling listened carefully to the words of the stone tablet, memorized every word, and asked, "Let the seniors wait for a long time." ”

Yang Ling had observed the stele for countless years, and he believed that this matter would determine his life.

"Do you think I've been waiting for a long time? That's what you think is that in my mind, I'm just opening my eyes and closing my eyes for a moment. ”

"You can feel the passage of time, you have time in your heart, but I can't, because time doesn't actually exist, I ask you, how much time has passed from you to this void and then to the stone tablet?"

Yang Ling couldn't answer, scratching his head and scratching his cheeks, he really didn't know how much time had passed before.

"No need to answer, time does not exist, it is just a mark you have engraved in your life, dispensable, I don't know how long it has been here, from the traces of the broken monument, I know that my reincarnation is coming. ”

Seeing that Yang Ling couldn't answer for a long time, Shi Bei interrupted his thinking with words.

"What is reincarnation, life and death?"

Yang Ling's cognition also includes Yan Ji's memory, reincarnation is life and death, the dead fall into hell, wash away the sins of life, reincarnate again, and repeat, infinite cycle.

"It can be understood in this way, but in your cognition, only living creatures can experience reincarnation, in fact, everything in heaven and earth has reincarnation, just like the stone tablet in front of you, which has begun to shatter and turn into dust, one day it will be recondensed. ”

"Now you don't have to think, one day you will understand all this, don't you wonder that I can know what is in your heart?"

Yang Ling was like a piece of wood, standing in front of the stele thinking about digesting every word he heard, and when he was asked this sentence by the stele, he also wondered, why.

"Actually, all this has happened, the dialogue between you and me is fixed, but it has just experienced a reincarnation. ”

"After listening to this sentence, your next sentence is, I know who you are!"

"Right?"

"Yes!"

Yang Ling understood something from the words of the stone stele, and when he was about to speak, the stone tablet had already answered for him, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the four big characters of the destiny of heaven above his head, which made him feel incredible, he felt that it was not the words of the stone tablet, but this whole thing, which was beyond common sense and broke the cognition of all life in the world.
