"I said Lao Lin......" Gu Yunze suddenly changed his title, "Your current realm is the Nine Heavens Great Perfection, right?" Is there an eyebrow for breaking through the Ten Heavens? ”

Lin Tianheng didn't care about Gu Yunze's change of title, and those who had dealt with him knew that this person would change his name from time to time when talking to people, and occasionally he would give him a nickname.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it is known as the highest realm under the Ten Heavens, but I can't even see the edge of the Ten Heavens. ”

The so-called wry smile is mostly a smile that you force yourself to show when you don't want to laugh.

For example, you took your girlfriend to skip class in high school and went to an Internet café to open a hack, but you were caught by the head teacher.

Eighty percent of your girlfriend is going to blow, and you are likely to be hammered by your parents when you go back, and you have to laugh and plead with the teacher, and the smile on your face at that time is the standard bitter smile.

Of course, if you think back to the fact that you have been a single dog until now, and then force yourself to laugh, then this smile should also be very bitter to think about.

Lin Tianheng smiled bitterly, not because he was a single dog, but because Gu Yunze's words just now really hit him in the sore spot.

The Ninefold Heavens Great Perfection, theoretically speaking, as long as one more step is the Tenfold Heaven, but in fact, it is this step that has stopped countless people.

If cultivation is likened to the process of ascending a mountain, then the Ten Heavens are heavens for ordinary practitioners.

The lowest level of cultivators at the foot of the mountain only knows that the sky is very high and very big, but there are trees and rocks blocking it, and they can't really understand how high and big the sky really is.

A powerful cultivator is on the mountainside, and when he looks up, he will feel that the sky is much larger than at the foot of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the top cultivators looked up and saw the sky, which was so high and vast that no ordinary person could reach it.

The higher the realm, the more you can appreciate the power of the strongest.

For such a realm, before seeing it with his own eyes, Lin Tianheng had never even thought about it, he didn't have this level of concept.

After seeing this realm with his own eyes, he dreamed of stepping into it.

"If the strongest are angry, I'm afraid it will be a natural disaster that can destroy an entire continent......"

Lin Tianheng sighed in his heart.

"I said, Lao Lin, have you ever thought about breaking through the Ten Heavens?"

“！！！”

"Let me tell you this," Gu Yunze put down the teacup, squinted his eyes and smiled gently, "There are five Ninefold Heavens Great Perfection in the world today, and I personally think that the one with the most hope of breaking through to the Tenth Heaven is the Daoist Sect Leader Yi Daoren, and the most hopeless is you." ”

"This, why did Mr. Gu say this?"

When it comes to the path of cultivation, even Lin Tianheng, who has been in a high position for many years, is a little out of shape.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Tianheng's heart suddenly surged with a terrifying feeling, and the surrounding atmosphere became extremely silent.

All sounds suddenly disappeared, and his five senses could hear the location of a mosquito tens of thousands of meters away, but now he couldn't even hear the wind outside the window.

Gu Yunze's narrowed eyes revealed an undisguised killing intent.

"Sa!"

Lin Tianheng's figure flashed, and he retreated frantically, wanting to break the wall and escape, but was directly bounced back by the lit formation.

"It's useless, this formation uses eight nine-grade spiritual objects as the eyes, you can't run." Gu Yunze's leisurely voice came into Lin Tianheng's ears.

"Mr. Gu, if I have something that upsets you, I apologize to you."

Lin Tianheng, who staggered before stabilizing his figure, immediately turned around and bowed deeply in Gu Yunze's direction, begging for mercy: "I will try my best to meet all your conditions, just ask you to spare my life." ”

Lin Tianheng's attitude is very humble, after all, life is the most important, and in the face of life and death, he will not insist on indifferent dignity.

"Alas......" Gu Yunze sighed, you still don't understand, "I have only one purpose, and that is to ask for your ......"

The cold light appeared, Lin Tianheng summoned the natal spirit sword, and without hesitation, the true qi in his body turned into a mighty dragon and poured into the spirit sword, and the brilliant sword light converged into the spirit sword, carrying an invincible momentum, and went straight to the ...... The formation is gone.

He is not stupid, he didn't ask for mercy, he threw himself into the net when he beat Gu Yunze, and only by breaking the formation could he have a chance to escape and save his life.

"Why don't you understand? You can't escape. ”

The "Ding ......" indestructible sword fell on the formation, but instead caused the spirit sword to crack out large fragments.

"Puff ......"'s real name was damaged by the Spirit Sword, and Lin Tianheng was immediately injured and vomited blood due to backlash.

"Gu ...... Mr. Gu ......, "Lin Tianheng, who was not lightly injured, did not dare to resist and continued to beg for mercy.

"Die."

In the flat voice, a white and flawless finger slowly pointed to the center of Lin Tianheng's eyebrows.

There is a great terror between life and death, and Lin Tianheng, who is now waiting for death, has infinite fear in his heart.

This finger was a long time for Lin Tianheng, and the experience of a lifetime flashed through his mind like a marquee.

Born in an ordinary family, he would be valued by the Longmen master at that time and accepted as an apprentice.

At the age of twenty-seven, he reached the Seventh Heaven, was invincible among his peers, and decided to take the road of fighting to support war.

From the sect to the family, from Great Xia to the world, countless battles, countless lives and deaths, and when he defeated a strong enemy again, Mu Ran looked back, only to find that he had stood at the top of the world.

After returning home, he entered the management of Longmen, relying on his strong strength and flexible means to make great contributions, and finally after the elderly master retreated to the second line, he relied on his strength and merit to take over the position of the chief of Longmen.

During his reign of several decades, Longmen developed step by step, gradually and completely suppressed the originally powerful family.

He has also changed from a powerful but slightly immature small manager to a calculator and strategist who is now hidden behind the scenes and controls the overall situation.

"I ...... When did this change? ”

Lin Tianheng's heart suddenly swelled up with such a question.

The original him, the one who held the sword and laughed at the world, when did he become a conspiracy and conspiracy at his fingertips, and he calculated everything first?

Now he is like the young man who used to be dressed in white, dusty, and unruly.

The once sharp eyebrows and sideburns now look kind and kind.

The arrogance that was once empty has turned into boundless scheming.

What was once a foul talk mixed with swear words turned into a smirk that now made him feel disgusting.

The once young and frivolous Lin Invincible has become the current scheming Chief Lin.

I...... What's going on......

The throbbing in his heart turned into determination, Lin Tianheng looked at the finger that was close at hand, the true qi, life and even the soul began to burn wildly, and the spirit sword in his hand with scars suddenly exploded, but it left a translucent sword shadow full of brilliant cold light in his hand.

"Just use this sword as my end......"

The illusory sword shadow slashed towards Gu Yunze's eyebrows with a shocking momentum, but it shattered and dissipated inch by inch in the next moment.

"Alright, it's time for you to wake up."

Everything around them instantly became blurry like a moon in the water.

……

"Mr. Gu, I fell for your illusion?"

Lin Tianheng, who was unscathed, sat on the sofa and asked Gu Yunze with a wry smile.

"Well, a little trick, see the smile."

"Whoa......

While pouring tea into the empty teacup, Gu Yunze replied: "Wisdom and strength are all righteous paths, wisdom and strength complement each other, you have been sitting in the position of the head of the Dragon Gate for a long time, and you have unconsciously embarked on the path of focusing on wisdom." ”

After pouring seven points of tea, Gu Yunze took a sip of the teacup and continued: "Focusing on wisdom is also the right path, but since you are focusing on wisdom, then your mentality has changed, and it is inevitable that it will be affected in the cultivation path that represents 'strength'. ”

"Whew...... According to Mr. Gu's words, if I don't change, the Ten Heavens will be hopeless for the rest of my life? ”

"Just when I was about to kill you, you burned everything and struck a decisive blow, a decision made knowing that there was no hope of survival. That...... What if there was still a glimmer of life? Will you still decisively burn everything out? ”

“……”

"You see, in essence, you are no longer a cultivator who is 'angry and blood splashes the world', but a leader in a high position."

"How can a person whose mentality is no longer a cultivator step to the pinnacle of a cultivator?"

Lin Tianheng answered with a wry smile.

"Mr. Gu, let me tell you a story. Sixty years ago, an ordinary boy in a second-tier town was taken in as an apprentice by a man in his forties, and the boy was very happy because the man taught him very powerful martial arts. ”

Dahan told the little boy that he had come to the town because he had something to do, and he only accepted the little boy as a registered disciple, and he would leave when he was done. Later, the big man did leave, and when he left, he taught the little boy a secret trick to save his life. ”

"At that time, going to school was not as easy as it is now, the little boy did not get good grades, and he didn't go to high school, but he practiced a powerful martial arts, so he simply went to other places to work hard."

"When he was working hard, he met a person who also practiced martial arts, and the two of them had a fight, and then they became friends."

"Later, two years later, the boy and his friend beat another martial artist because he was plotting against a girl in a small alley."

"Then, the boy and his friend were retaliated against by that person, he claimed to be a member of the Fang family of the cultivation world, and led people to surround the boy and his friend, that was the first time they heard about the 'cultivation world' and the first time they knew about the 'family'."

"The boy and his friends couldn't beat the people who took revenge on them, because he brought too many people, and the boy's friends told him to run, and the boy was so scared that he fucking ran away."

"When he regretted going back, he happened to see his friend who had escaped in cover, and was disemboweled."

"The boy lost his mind, killed the beasts with the secret method that his master taught him, and then gave him a good time with his own hands in the pleading of his friends."

Later, the boy lay down for two months because of the secret method, but fortunately he had a lot of savings, but he did not starve to death. Two months later, the boy got up from his bed and vowed to eradicate all the cultivators. ”

“…… I'm sorry."

Gu Yunze listened to Lin Tianheng's chattering story without saying a word.

"There's no regret, that family has already let me be wiped out, and it will be wiped out cleanly."

Lin Tianheng smiled, and he asked, "Mr. Gu, do you know what I am most proud of and have the least regrets in my life?" ”

"I want to hear about it."

"What I'm most proud of is that when I was young, I fought all over the world and never tasted defeat among my peers."

"Oh, and then?" (indifferent face)

“……”

"Ahem, the thing I don't regret the most is that I took over the position of the chief of the Dragon Gate, turned the cultivation world into what it is now, suppressed all those families, and changed the situation that the scattered people in the Great Xia cultivation world were either oppressed or treated as lackeys."

"Speaking of which, I'm also a beneficiary."

Gu Yunze answered, and then asked, "What do you regret the least is this?" ”

"Well, the cultivation world family is not only deeply rooted and difficult to pull out, but also hidden in the secular world, if you don't have enough clever means, it is easy for the cultivation world to hurt the secular world, so I have to change myself when I take over."

"I began to learn the methods of power and magic, and I began to get used to planning and calculating, relying on the powerful power of the Dragon Gate to suppress and weaken those families step by step, and then their oppression on the cultivation world became smaller and smaller."

"I always knew what I was doing, I knew who I killed, who I saved, who I helped, who I hurt, and I never regretted what I did."

"I thought you would choose to become a cultivator again and pursue the realm of the Ten Heavens."

"Ten Heavens...... What a desirable realm......" Lin Tianheng sighed deeply, "It's a pity, I'm afraid I'm destined to miss it." ”

"Don't you think it's a pity?" Gu Yunze asked.

"It's a pity, but I'm no longer the unscrupulous Lin Tianheng I used to be, now I am the chief of Longmen, I want to guard the entire cultivation world of Great Xia, I am no longer the lonely and light-hearted Lin Tianheng, I am burdened with the responsibility of belonging to the chief of Longmen."

"Perhaps, the once unruly young man Lin Tianheng is dead. This Lin Tianheng, who is alive now, decided to become the chief of Longmen, and decided to kill his teenage self for the dream of his youth. ”

Lin Tianheng smiled, this smile is very standard, neither sincere nor hypocritical, neither kind nor majestic, it is a very standard, very ordinary smile.

……

Lin Tianheng stayed at Gu Yunze's house for a while, chatted a few words, and then prepared to leave.

He opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief, telling himself that you were no longer the teenager you used to be, and that it was time for you to give up something for your responsibilities.

Gradually, his mood was really much lighter.

Gu Yunze has never had the habit of sending guests, when the guests leave, he will watch the spiritual teapot and saucer on the coffee table clean himself, and then return to the place where they were stored.

Lin Tianheng took a step forward and closed the door of Gu Yunze's house.

In the faint sound of cups colliding, Gu Yunze seemed to be humming softly.

"I'm the same boy I used to be,"

"Not the slightest bit has changed,"

"Time is but a test,"

"The faith planted in the heart has not diminished in the slightest,"

"This boy in front of you,"

"It's still the same face as it was at the beginning."
