In the thick black fog, there was no light, let alone the breath of life, and there were rotting and blackened corpses everywhere.

In this hellish place, only three people were still standing, facing the indescribable indescribable indemnity.

They fought as hard as they could—their clothes were getting tattered, their hair was stuck together with the blood of unknown men, and the sweat on their faces was rolling down with blood.

At this moment, a huge palm that covered the sky and the sun slapped towards them. The palm of the hand was pitch black, and there was a hideous black scale armor on it, like a devil's claw sticking out of the abyss.

Among the three, a girl with a ponytail raised her long sword and rushed towards the sky, letting out a clear whistle from her mouth.

The long sword flashed with multicolored divine light, colliding with the demon's claws with monstrous sword intent.

The claw was severed by the sound, but the girl was also hit the ground. The petite figure smashed to the ground, splashing dust all over the sky.

The girl's figure gradually revealed, the sword supporting the crumbling body. She stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and looked into the distance, and the two men behind her also stood beside her, staring into the distance together.

At this time, even if they were as strong as they were, no matter how firm their hearts were, a look of determination still appeared on their faces—there was no one left to help them—their deceased had died on this battlefield, turned into rotting bones. However, one after another huge demon shadows loomed, even larger than the owner of the claws just now.

Among the three, the man and girl with long hair and fluttering hair walked forward, blocking the other short-haired young man behind him, and said:

"You're still young, and the possibilities are endless. Let's go, take the rest with us, let's go. ”

They laid down a divine light and swept the young man towards the floating island behind them.

"No!"

The young man roared heartbreakingly, tears streaming out of his eyes.

。。。

"No!"

Gongsun Tianshou sat up from the bed abruptly, and let out a cry of grief came from his mouth.

"Did you have that dream again? ”

He put his hands on his forehead, his brow furrowed, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.

"Damn, forget again. ”

He tried to remember all the things he had seen in his dreams, but the memories faded so quickly that even the faces of the girl and the man were blurred. But even so, he still remembered that in the dream world, in the end, he was alone, walking alone with the darkness.

Gongsun Tianshou took a deep breath and told himself not to think about it now, because the most important thing for him now was to become stronger.

Gongsun Tianshu quickly dressed and washed, walked out of the threshold of the dormitory with his iron coat, and ran towards the back hill of the palace.

In the year 5,216 of the Yellow Calendar, it has been one year and two months since the last time the Chu army invaded the Ji Kingdom, and he has been living like this for a year-the training ground in the back mountain, the imperial study and the prince's palace.

One year, just one year, but Gongsun Tianshu has reached the peak of the body refining realm. The so-called body refining realm is actually the classification of people who do not practice spiritual power, which is divided into four levels: lower, middle, upper, and peak, and its judgment criterion is the power that can be emitted by a pure physical body.

Being able to exert a thousand-pound force with one hand is considered to have reached the peak of the body refining realm by ordinary standards. However, after Gongsun Tianshou's one-year extreme training, his single-arm strength could even reach nearly 10,000 catties! In particular, he could even run while wearing an iron suit made of Xuanzhong Iron, which was an iron cloak that ordinary cultivators in the Na Ling Realm could not wear, and just a shirt could weigh tens of thousands of catties.

But he's not satisfied, he's going to get stronger. Because he had seen in a wild history that the Yellow Emperor could lift the copper tripod in 10,000 catties when he was a teenager, he wanted to try to see if he could reach that point.

The iron cloak swayed with the movement of his body, making a clattering sound.

Forward, forward.

Even though his body was exhausted, even though his lips were dry, he kept running, telling himself that he could still hold on.

。。。

"Teacher, are you sure you want him to continue like this?"

On the top of the back hill of the Imperial Garden, Gongsun Yumo looked at Gongsun Tianshu who was running desperately on the mountain road, and his face was a little worried.

Beside him, a man silently looked at Gongsun Tianshou, who was training desperately, his eyes were so vicissitudes.

"Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds. You're not qualified enough, so you can't understand that responsibility. ”

The man finally spoke, with indescribable emotion in his words.

"What if I could transcend in a hundred years? ”

Gongsun Yumo asked the man beside him, his words were full of respect, and he poured out a cup of tea from the teapot in the stone table and offered it to the man.

"Teacher, please use tea. ”

"Well, if you put your mind to it, this roselle tea color and fragrance are good. The man took a sip of the saucer, nodded to Gongsun Yumo, and then said, "In the future battle, I am afraid that I can only be a small soldier if I am beyond the realm." ”

Gongsun Yumo's brows suddenly furrowed deeper, and his gaze at the heavenly guard was extremely complicated.

。。。

Gongsun Tianshou's breathing gradually became rapid, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.

"Hold on. ”

He was still talking to himself. However, it seemed that he would not be able to hold on.

At this time, he suddenly felt an indescribable fluctuation, like a heart beat, but not his heart, but this heaven and earth. At the same time, a steady stream of power poured into his body, making his body gradually full of strength.

"This piece of world, there is a heartbeat?!"

Gongsun Tianshou was so surprised at this time that he didn't even notice the changes that had happened to him. He felt as if he had discovered something hidden in the shadows.

。。。

"It's you. ”

In the pavilion halfway up the mountainside, Yu Qinglian whispered to himself, looking at the figure that was gradually approaching in the mountain road, although it was a light pheasant, it was like a little adult, revealing a sense of maturity.

"Good work," she said, standing up and smiling at Gongsun Tianshou, who was close to the pavilion, "Come and have something to eat, today I have someone make your favorite osmanthus cake, come and taste it." ”

"Thank you, sister. The tenshu smiled brightly at Yu Qinglian, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake with his fingers, and threw it into his mouth.

"By the way, I forgot to say congratulations to you. ”

Seeing Gongsun Tianshou's child-like movements, Yu Qinglian covered his mouth and laughed.

"What's wrong?"

Gongsun Tianshou wiped the sugar osmanthus on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked puzzledly.

"Stupid, cultivation is stupid, I didn't even notice that I had arrived at the Naling Realm. ”

Yu Qinglian knocked on the top of the castle tower's head with his hand, and let out a silver bell-like laugh.

"Huh?" Gongsun Tianshou covered his head, then mobilized the air pockets, felt the spiritual power that was constantly injected into the air pockets, and said excitedly, "Really!"

"It's a pity that it still can't compare to me. The corners of Yu Qinglian's lips rose, revealing a smug look, "I've already reached the half-step Gathering Yuan Realm!"

"Huh?" Gongsun Tianshou also showed a surprised expression, but at the same time felt even happier, "It's still my sister, I thought it was good enough for me to reach the current level in a year." ”

"You're not bad, ordinary people are afraid that it takes several years of cultivation to reach the peak of the Body Refining Realm, but it only took you a year, and you even reached the extreme realm. Yu Qinglian suddenly changed his words, "So, you still work too hard, sometimes it's not a good thing to work so hard, it's better to relax a little." ”

Yu Qinglian suddenly took Gongsun Tianshou's hand and met his eyes.

At this moment, Gongsun Tianshou seemed to feel that he had been seen through, and even the secrets buried deep in his heart were known.

"I will be with you at all times. ”

"Hmm. ”

Gongsun Tianshou nodded lightly, smiling from the bottom of his heart, and the burden that had been pressing on his heart completely disappeared.

。。。

"It's time for the next step. ”

The man in the pavilion put down his teacup and looked at the Gongsun Tenshu on the mountainside, muttering softly to himself, a smile looming on his face.

However, Gongsun Yumo on the side looked at the teacher in his mouth with complicated eyes.
