Chapter 390: The Road to Heaven
The northern tip of the Extreme North Continent, or it should be said, is an unnamed island in the north of the continent, separated from the land by natural hazards, and there is an inexplicable force barrier, ordinary humans or spirit beasts simply cannot cross this natural danger.
However, for Tianlan and Ye Yi, this obstacle is not a problem at all, and they only need to use a little divine power to protect their bodies, and it can't be simpler.
This nameless island is very small, at least compared to the vast continent, Tianlan and Ye Yi are standing at a height of thousands of meters, and they can see everything on the island. But Tianlan only saw a very ordinary nameless desert island, and there was no tower of Babel as he imagined.
Tianlan asked Ye Yi suspiciously: "Is it here?"
Ye Yi nodded affirmatively: "It's here, that guy just asked me to come here to find him." He said that the North Tower of Babel is not really a tower, but a passageway, so ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from the island: "Are you willing to come?"
Then, a light and shadow quickly rose into the sky and appeared in front of Tianlan and Ye Yi's eyes.
The light and shadow faded, and the appearance of the person was revealed. Tianlan looked at this person seriously, he looked more than thirty years old, his expression was serious, meticulous, and he seemed to be the kind of person who was very dull and harsh. Sending such a person to guard the Tower of Babel may be the most suitable.
But he didn't feel the same powerful divine power in this person as they did, wasn't this person a god?
It's right to think about it, God is limited in the human world, and it is impossible to guard the Tower of Babel for a long time. This man is supposed to be a mortal, but he has been given some kind of greater power, which can rival the gods.
Ye Yi saw this person and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still as beautiful as you were back then!"
This extraditerr's name is Yan Yu, and he had several encounters with Ye Yi three years ago. Listening to Ye Yi's familiar name, he couldn't help but glance at him, and said, "Don't get close to me, I don't eat this." You should know that I am immortal. ”
On the way, Tianlan had already heard Ye Yi talk about him, and politely bowed his hand and said, "Senior Yan, meet for the first time, in Xia Tianlan." ”
Yan Yu was not an rude person, seeing that Tianlan took the initiative to salute him, he also politely returned the salute, and then said to Ye Yi: "He is the reason why you refuse to leave the human world?"
Ye Yi smiled: "Yes, I said that Tianlan would wake up!"
Yan Yu glared at him, as if he wanted to reprimand, but finally sighed helplessly: "Over the years, I have taken over the Tower of Babel, and I have met many guys like you, who have clearly survived the heavenly tribulation, but they are unwilling to leave the world. It seems that my extraditerr's name should be changed to 'excess'. ”
Ye Yi 'touched' and 'touched' his nose, and said, "Then it seems that the heavenly realm is really not very good, otherwise why wouldn't everyone want to go?"
Yan Yu feigned anger and said, "If you don't want to go, you have to go! If the immortals stay in the world for too long, it will bring unpredictable disasters and turmoil to the human world! And you yourself will also be punished by the Heavenly Dao, do you want to lose your life in the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Ye Yi had 'exchanged' with Yan Yu a few times, and knew that this person was cold-faced and kind-hearted, but in fact, he was very talkative, so he said with a hippie smile: "Okay, okay, aren't we going to go to the Heavenly Realm!"
Yan Yu snorted at him, and then said, "You two come with me." ”
They landed on an uninhabited island, and Yan Yu led the way and led them into a stone house deep on the island.
Ye Yi was amazed when he saw the stone house, and said, "Brother Yan, you live in this kind of place, it's too bad for yourself, right? No matter what, you have to build a castle to live in, anyway, this island is you, such a big place." ”
Yan Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and explained to Tianlan as he walked: "If you want to travel through the two worlds of heaven and man, you must pass through the Tower of Babel. The North Heavenly Tower, which I look after, is one of them. However, you must remember that the journey of the Tower of Babel is a one-way path, and once you set foot on the path to Babel, there is no turning back, and with each step you take, the path behind you will disappear one step until you enter the heavenly realm. ”
He took Tianlan and Ye Yi into the stone house, and then opened the secret passage to the underground, motioned for Tianlan and the two to follow, and then went into the tunnel first.
Ye Yi whistled and said, "It turns out that there is no mechanism! It's 'quite' hidden, and we didn't even notice it just now." ”
Tianlan said: "Probably some special trick was used, don't guess too much, let's catch up." ”
They went into the tunnel one after another, and when they got to the bottom, it was a completely different scene! At the foot was a long lotus leaf treadflat, surrounded by water, and a little firefly floated in the air, refracting the light on the surface of the water, which was extremely beautiful. Not far away, there are a few lights in the air that seem to be like bright moons, fluttering 'swinging' and 'swinging', like residual candles on a fishing boat.
Seeing such a wonderful scene, Ye Yi exclaimed: "It's really enjoyable, it doesn't seem like there's a need to build a castle." ”
Yan Yu was standing not far in front of them waiting for them, and when he heard Ye Yi's boring feelings, he couldn't help but say, "This place has reached the periphery of the Tower of Babel, and it is not considered a human realm. You'd better be careful. ”
Tianlan said: "You told us to be careful, but what is the danger?"
Ye Yi smiled: "Is there a monster that is guarding the town or something out of nowhere?" Or will there be a spatial collapse?"
Yan Yu shook his head and said, "No, I'm telling you to be careful of your step." You can't fly inside the Tower of Babel, and you can't fly even more when you reach the road to Babel. You have to be careful, the road to heaven is relatively narrow, once you stumble and fall, you will be forever 'lost' in the gap of space, more terrible than death. ”
Tianlan thought about it and muttered to himself, "...... A crack in the space?"
He remembered the experience when he passed through the two worlds of humans and ghosts, and it seemed that he had once been to a dark place, but at that time he was in a trance and could not remember clearly.
Yan Yu reiterated: "Don't take the risk of being curious! as long as you leave the range of the path to heaven, you will be swallowed up by the spatial cracks. Don't think that you are gods now, how great it is, once you fall into the gap of space, no matter how great your ability is, it will be impossible to find the way to heaven!"
Ye Yi saw him so emphasized, and also realized the importance of this question, and said, "Okay, I understand." We'll be careful. ”
After a short time, they had already reached the end of the lotus leaf stepping flat, and there was a 'door' in front of them, and there was a white light inside, and the situation inside could not be seen from the outside.
Yan Yu stopped and said, "This is the road to heaven, I wish you good luck." ”
Tianlan bowed to him again and said, "Thank you, Senior Yan." ”
Ye Yi waved his hand at him and said, "Brother Yan, thank you! I will treat you to a big meal when I have the opportunity to come back in the future!"
Yan Yu couldn't laugh and cry, and said, "Don't think about coming back." The heavenly realm can be very 'chaotic', and in a few years there will probably be a ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, which is not fun. You two little gods who have just been promoted, you should honestly keep to yourself, but don't go to the Tower of Babel in the Heavenly Realm, in case you are suspected of having other intentions to arrest you, then you will be speechless. ”
Ye Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It turns out that there are such unreasonable people up there!"
Yan Yu said: "That's not it. People who can cultivate to become gods must be different, they are all scheming old foxes. You two little dolls beware of being planted in someone's trap. But you don't have to be too inferior, the heavenly realm is not all gods, there are also many people who are similar to mortals, most of the gods in the heavenly realm are cultivated by the aborigines of the heavenly realm, because the heavenly tribulation in the heavenly realm is much easier than the heavenly tribulation in the human world. ”
"There's a lot more you need to know, and now I'm saying it's hard for you to understand, but you'll know when you get to the heavenly realm. The Heavenly Realm is far more suitable for your cultivation than the Human Realm, where the spiritual energy is abundant, and I don't know how many times better than the Human Realm. ”
Ye Yi yawned lazily and said, "Brother Yan, if you talk about it, it will be dark." Haha, don't be so reluctant to me, in a few hundred years, there will be new little gods waiting for you to 'exceed', you are an old man, you have to take care of your body!"
After speaking, he waved his hand, and walked into the road to heaven very chicly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Tianlan bowed slightly to Yan Yu, and then followed Ye Yi into the path to heaven.
Yan Yu watched the two of them leave with complicated eyes, and only said softly after a long time: "I hope there is no turbidity in the two of them, otherwise...... Alas, seeing that the two of them have such a good relationship, it would be too cruel if they really wanted to fight each other. ”
Tianlan and Ye Yi, who had stepped into the path to heaven, did not know Yan Yu's last words, nor did they know the future they would face. At this time, they were simply shocked by the sight of the road to heaven!
A path less than a meter wide winds its way to a far, far away place with no end in sight, and the rest of it is a beautiful starry sky, including the bottom of the road to heaven!
Ye Yi looked back, and saw that the 'door' had disappeared, and a meter behind them was an endless starry sky, and there was no road.
He couldn't help but say, "It's really the same as what Brother Yan said! It seems that we can only move forward, and we can't fly, it's so long, when will we go?"
Tianlan said softly: "Okay, don't complain, it's better to leave quickly if you have the strength." ”
"Alas, it's really far! This road is still so narrow, it seems impossible to stay overnight......" Ye Yi muttered and complained, but he still walked forward. It is said that it is difficult to climb to the sky, and now it seems that this road to heaven is not a shortcut to the sky in one step!
In this way, Ye Yi walked in front, and Tianlan followed behind. The two men were less than a meter apart, and the road behind them disappeared little by little as they advanced, and the road ahead of them didn't seem to shorten a bit.
It is impossible to compare the road they have traveled with the road they have not taken, and it is only when time passes little by little that they truly realize what it means to have a long road ahead......
