"Hey, fellow Daoist, why are you in such a hurry?" ......

"Haven't you heard? Someone is going to climb the Ethereal Peak! Come with me......!"

Two cultivators who had not yet stepped into the king level met unexpectedly on the road.

"Do you know who it is? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Fellow Daoist, your news is too closed. The ethereal flame road of the Ethereal Peak has been ignited, and this matter has been spread all over the world, what does the ethereal flame mean, you must also know it, but the protagonist has not appeared yet, and everyone has been looking forward to it. ”

"No wonder I've noticed so many masters whistling over my head recently, let's speed up, otherwise we may miss this once-in-a-lifetime moment of becoming an emperor!"

"Yes, yes, don't gossip, hurry up!"

A large number of cultivators rushed to the Ethereal Peak from all directions, including some of the leaders of the Great Family Sect, and many unborn old monsters also arrived. It is only because the ethereal flame road is ignited, because this is a kind of induction and notification, it is telling the world that someone has reached the ninth major consummation of the quasi-emperor and is about to achieve the throne.

It has been hundreds of years since the last appearance of Emperor Cheng, and some people say that it is because the world has changed and made it more difficult to practice, but now that the ethereal road is open, it means that there are still people who can become emperors, but this time span is too long, so long that people forget that there is such a thing as Emperor Cheng.

Ethereal Peak is located in the center of this continent, hundreds of years ago, because every once in a while there would be emperors, so slowly a huge city appeared here, the Ethereal City.

At that time, it was almost a temple for practitioners, a place of pilgrimage for many practitioners, and many people retreated here, believing that it was the closest place to the emperor, and the city was extremely prosperous and brilliant, with various treasure trading places and various auction places, most of which were prepared for practitioners.

Later, because there was no longer a person who could become an emperor, the cultivators who stayed here slowly retreated, and year after year they decayed and fell into disuse, and only sporadic scattered practices sometimes settled here for pilgrimage.

Now that a large number of cultivators have begun to gather here, the originally decadent city has taken on a new look, some smart people have come here early to build inns and restaurants, and some people have built treasure exchanges, and these people have already made a lot of money now.

Xiao Yu also heard about this on the road, of course he knew that his master was going to become an emperor, this is a fortunate thing, Ke Xin asked him if he wanted to go and see, Xiao Yu finally denied it, because he didn't want to disturb the old man's last moment, and in the end it must be a parting, and this farewell does not know when we will meet, so Xiao Yu simply endured not to meet, so as not to add sadness out of thin air, it is better to hurry up and practice when there is that sad time, and strive to see the old man as soon as possible.

Long Teng had already come to the Ethereal City, he did not go directly to the top, but found an inn to live in, and would walk around the city every day to adjust his state.

After he saw the female doll, he let go of his thoughts about Mengya, maybe it was the reincarnation of Mengya, and now she lived as she wished, which was also a relief for Long Teng.

The affairs of the dragon clan have been dealt with, and the current dragon clan is back on track, although there is no new patriarch yet, but with the dragon heart they are, these are not a problem.

Xiaoyu is also very good now, the only concern is to know that he is an outlier, the future is not something that Long Teng can control, and he is not going to die, so he will have the opportunity to meet in the future, and now Xiaoyu already has the power to fight, and he doesn't need to protect himself anymore. And I also saw Bai Qi who helped him back then, which made Long Teng very pleased, the person back then was also a strong man now, with him, he would help Xiaoyu in the future. That little black bird is not just a mortal product, this is the first time I saw it, Long Teng felt it, but it still needs to grow, and it will be unlimited in the future, this pair of partners together, Long Teng is very relieved.

Everything has a happy outcome, which is what I want to see before leaving. Long Teng knows how important this is, not only that there is no burden to make his state the best, but also that the reason is that taking the ethereal road is to cut off the past, it will burn all the memories of a person's past, whether it is a good memory or a painful memory, Emperor Cheng is to step into another world, and the role of the ethereal flame is to let you have a new beginning, no longer bound by the past.

Early this morning, Long Teng set off for the Ethereal Peak, and he was so natural and quiet in white. Some people have already settled at the foot of the mountain in order not to miss this moment. Long Teng stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering ethereal peak in front of him.

A path of white flames spirals around the Ethereal Peak, and this is the Ethereal Flame Road. Although there are a lot of people here, no one dares to cross the thunder pool by half a step, because the ethereal flame is not a joke, and the strength cannot reach the top, and if you get involved, you will die.

Long Teng took a deep breath and stepped into the ethereal path.

Immediately boiled underneath......

"Go up! The Emperor has gone up!"

All eyes were on the place, and more and more people flocked in the distance.

"Do you see who it is?"

"No, I saw an old man with white hair and white beard and white robe. ”

"Who the hell is it? Which family or sect is it from, and why hasn't there been any news so far?"

……

"Don't be too anxious, because according to records, once you become an emperor, your family or sect will appear on the top of the golden cloud, now let's watch this emperor ascend to the top!"

One step, two steps, three steps......

Long Teng walked very solidly, and with each step, the memories of the past would unfold in his mind like a picture scroll, and then he would be burned by the white flames.

The Ethereal Flame didn't hurt him in the slightest, it just erased his memory. Long Teng looked at the picture of his childhood, his father and mother, the picture of his own practice, the picture of his naughty time, and then the dispute between himself and his father and his secret escape from the dragon clan. Finally Mengya appeared, one picture after another appeared and died, Long Teng wept, tears flowed like a spring, and then he lost this memory, Mengya's appearance became more and more blurred, but why did his heart hurt more and more?

Xiaoyu appeared, and Long Teng saw this naughty child grow up day by day, and saw Xiaoyu's embarrassment when he climbed the mountain for the first time. saw the battle with the destruction of the world, saw the war with his younger brother Long Jiu, and saw himself go to hang the wordless monument......

Long Teng walked up step by step, and his memories were reduced one by one. Is this what this life is for? Is it worth it? Long Teng asked himself, what is the purpose of his life's quest? As he walked, he thought, "What will the future be like with a long road ahead?"

Ethereal life, ethereal life. Everyone is a passerby on the road of their own life, and seeking the Tao is to experience this, perhaps this is the root of seeking the Tao, the Tao is not at the end, but in the process.
