"So what will happen to Xiao Han once he knows the truth?"

Standing in the darkness where the 100,000 Great Mountains once sit, Ye Hongjian frowned and looked at the phoenix fluttering its wings behind him.

The old man in white on the phoenix was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, while Ye Chengtai and his wife were tied together by the five flowers. The rope was tight, almost covering the whole body of the couple, let alone escaping, it was extremely difficult for them to move half of their bodies at this moment.

Hearing this, the old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ye Hongjian and said, "If a captive sheep knows that the value of his existence is only to be slaughtered, the better he eats, the stronger he grows, the happier the person who slaughtered him, what will happen to the sheep?"

Ye Hongjian's brows furrowed a little deeper, she didn't like the old man's metaphor very much, but then she replied patiently: "Will you escape?"

"And if the sheepfold is covered with high fences, it will not be able to escape?" asked the old man again.

Ye Hongjian thought about it, his eyes froze, and his tone was a little cold at that time: "Then kill the shepherd!"

"But the shepherd is only the one who manages the sheep farm, and if he kills the shepherd, the real owner of the sheep farm will send a new shepherd, and even if the shepherd is killed, the sheep will still be surrounded by high fences on both sides of the sheep farm. The old man spoke again in a calm tone.

Ye Hongjian's heart was a little annoyed, and she said, "Then in Mr. Yi's opinion, this is a dead end?"

Wei Changming raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Hongjian, his tone was still calm, a little terrifying. "That's right," he said, "it's a dead end. ”

"If it's a dead end, why does Mr. do so many things?" Ye Hongjian obviously didn't believe what Mr. Wei said, and she asked with a calm brow.

"I used to be a sheep in this sheepfold, I couldn't see the outside world, everything I did was what I imagined. But just as the sheep in the sheepfold can never know how powerful humans are, even though I have used all my imagination to overestimate the people of the outside world as much as possible, I have proved to be a little naïve. ”

"But now that I've seen the outside world, I know how small and powerless we are. Speaking of this, Wei Changming seemed to have aged a lot, he paused, and then said: "I also know that our struggle seems ridiculous and insignificant to people outside. ”

Ye Hongjian's body jumped and landed on the body of the Phoenix Divine Bird, although it seemed that this Phoenix Divine Bird seemed to be the same as before, but if he really observed it carefully, he was surprised to find that the flames burning around the Phoenix Divine Bird in front of him were faintly flickering with bursts of golden light. And the most peculiar thing is that the eyes of the phoenix divine bird are shining, like a living thing. This is an incredible thing for the true spirit, after all, from ancient times to the present, the true spirit is just a figurative killing move condensed by the monk, and naturally cannot have its own spiritual wisdom.

And once the true spirit becomes a living thing, it is tantamount to the monk himself creating a living thing.

And this...

It is already something that can only be involved in the realm of God-man.

Ye Hongjian didn't care about such a change, she looked directly into Wei Changming's eyes at that time, and asked in a calm voice, "Since that gentleman understands that we have no chance of winning, why do you want to return?"

Mr. Wei smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "It's really not enough to rely on us alone, but you are different from him. ”

"You are not sheep..."

"At least not once. ”

......

Ascending to Kunlun, as the clouds in the sky were drunk back by Xuan'er, things became much simpler after that.

Xu Han secretly thought about it, his physical body and internal strength have reached the immortal realm, plus the adventures along the way, although it is only a tribulation of the earth immortal, but the actual strength should be enough to compete with the three tribulations or even the four tribulation immortals, of course, there are very few immortals in this world, Xu Han's guess cannot be corroborated before he is against an immortal of such strength.

And those Kunlun Tribulation, who claim to have the strength of the Immortal Realm, have no power, and there are no hole cards and moves that a true immortal should have, so the strength is actually a little stronger than the half-step Immortal Realm, and it is still a lot worse than the Sen Luo Hall to create the Holy Candidate. And Rao is like this, if the tribulation thunder is allowed to continue to summon, once the number of Kunlun tribulations exceeds a hundred, Xu Han can only flee in the wilderness.

Xuan'er did Xu Han a great favor, and Xu Han's ascent of Kunlun Mountain went smoothly, except for the violent coercion overflowing from the top of Kunlun Mountain, nothing could stop Xu Han. And this kind of obstacle could not make Xu Han's speed to the top of the mountain a day or two later than planned.

Three days later, a hand reached the cliff on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and then Xu Han's body jumped up, and with Ah Huang and Xuan'er on his shoulder, he landed steadily on the top of Kunlun.

When he came here, the coercion that had been bothering Xu Han became more and more obvious, and Rao Yi gradually felt a little out of breath with Xu Han's cultivation. However, Xu Han, who finally arrived here, didn't care about this coercion, but looked at this legendary immortal residence with calm eyes.

Kunlun is the dwelling place of immortals, which is not a secret, even ordinary children have more or less heard such rumors or stories related to it.

Xu Han had some expectations in his heart here, but when he really saw the situation in front of him, such expectations disappeared in an instant.

The top of Kunlun Mountain is extremely vast, different from the flat top of Dayuan Mountain, which is more than 100 zhang square, even if it has come to the highest place, the sprawling col still cannot see the edge. There is no immortal palace in the teleportation, and naturally there are no immortals in white clothes. There was only endless snow and a huge stone pillar that cracked in the middle of it.

It was the pillar of heaven, the pillar of heaven that used to be.

Xu Han has heard this thing mentioned more than once, and it is rumored that the Heavenly Pillar connects the heavens and the earth, and also connects the fairy world and the mortal world. The immortals in the world are looking forward to the day when they can reach the heavenly realm through the heavenly pillar, and from then on they will become true immortals and enjoy the world, and the immortals in the sky can also rely on this thing to descend to the mortal world.

But now, the Heavenly Pillar is broken, and the connection between the Heavenly Realm and the human world has become weak, Xu Han secretly thought that maybe the reason why those true immortals who have been trying to kill him can't do anything to him is probably because this Heavenly Pillar collapsed, and they can only come to the world by projection. And now Xu Han has grown to the point where he can not be killed by just one projection.

Thinking of this, Xu Han walked to the side of the Heavenly Pillar, he looked at the huge stone pillar with a calm brow, and his eyes swept over the strange lines on the stone pillar that had been dimmed.

For some reason, Xu Han felt that the lines on the heavenly pillar actually gave him an illusion of déjà vu.

He frowned, he didn't remember where he had seen these strange lines, he suppressed some inexplicable emotions that suddenly surged in his heart at that moment, his eyes scanned everything around him again, the white and the vast all year round, even if Xu Han gathered his internal strength and had the intention to strengthen his eyesight, but even if his gaze was a thousand feet away, but in addition to the snow, Xu Han could not find anything else on the top of this Kunlun Mountain.

The watcher said that as long as he came to Kunlun Mountain, he would know the answer, but who on the uninhabited snow mountain could really answer the question in Xu Han's heart?

Could it be that the watchers would lie to him?

Such a thought inevitably came to Xu Han's mind at that time, but it was quickly denied by Xu Han, who did not feel that doing so would do any good for the monitor. Xu Han thought of this, and his gaze fell on the strange lines on the body of the Broken Heavenly Pillar Pillar again.

His heart shook, and images flashed in his mind.

He saw a hand stretched out, caressing those lines, and golden light lit up from those lines, and then the eyes of the people on that hand condensed, and gently cut the skin on the index finger of his left hand with sword intent. Blood spilled from his fingers, and a drop of blood fell gently towards the golden lines of the Heavenly Pillar.

Xu Han tried his best to see the appearance of the figure in the illusion.

It seemed to be a man, a teenager to be precise, but the outline on his face was a little blurry, but it inexplicably gave Xu Han an extremely familiar feeling.

Rumble!

But just as he was about to think carefully about where he had seen this young man, a sudden bang sounded in his head, and he was a little dazed, and the fantasies that suddenly welled up were all dissipated at that time.

Xu Han stood in place in a trance, and the screaming Xuan'er beside him tilted their heads to look at Xu Han, as if they were wondering about Xu Han's sudden abnormality.

"Meow?" Xuan'er jumped directly on Xu Han's shoulder, and this soft call made Xu Han come back to his senses.

He subconsciously stretched out his left hand and stroked Xuan'er's head, but as soon as this hand was stretched out, he was stunned again, he looked at his left hand, thinking about the fantasy that suddenly surged out, and his heart was stunned.

He walked to the side of the pillar of heaven and slowly stretched out his hand towards the pillar of heaven, his breathing became a little rapid at that time, and even the hand that was outstretched trembled slightly.

This was only a short distance away, but Xu Han spent more than ten breaths before pressing his hand on the heavenly pillar.

Rumble.

Then a muffled sound swept away, and Xu Han's hand touched the Heavenly Pillar, and the seemingly faint lines on the Heavenly Pillar were really like the scene in the illusion that Xu Han had just seen, and began to glow with bursts of golden light.

Xu Han's body began to tremble, but his hands still moved slowly according to the scene he saw in the dream.

The whirring Xuan'er on the side naturally didn't understand why such a change occurred, but they could sense Xu Han's surging heart at this moment, and they stood quietly to the side, nervously watching the changes here.

Soon, Xu Han walked around the broken pillar of heaven, and his hand also brushed all the lines on the pillar.

As a result, the golden light on the heavenly pillar was magnificent, bright and almost dazzling, making people dare not look directly.

A thick and simple aura came from the Heavenly Pillar, Xu Han's heart beat a little faster, he stared at the Heavenly Pillar glowing with golden light for a long time, and then he sounded the picture in the illusion, his head slowly lowered, looking at his left hand.

Everything was so familiar, like he had actually been here and done it.

This feeling made Xu Han a little dazed, and the situation that had just flashed in his mind resurfaced at this time.

The young man with his head bowed in the picture suddenly raised his head, he seemed to sense Xu Han's prying eyes, and his eyes seemed to be isolated from countless spaces through thousands of years, and fell straight on Xu Han's body.

The young man stared at Xu Han, but his seemingly calm gaze was like a sharp sword piercing Xu Han's chest, and Xu Han was stunned in place.

He'd seen him.

I don't know when, where, somewhere, he must have seen him.

So familiar, so familiar like...

Xu Han's heart shook, but at that time, the young man who was looking at him in the illusion suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

He was clearly smiling.

But the look between his eyebrows and eyes was so cold, as cold as the snow flowing in Kunlun Mountain but still not smiling.

That kind of smile and such a gaze inexplicably gave Xu Han a particularly hideous illusion.

But the young man didn't seem to feel Xu Han's thoughts, his mouth opened at that time, and he whispered to Xu Han: "You are here again." ”

Xu Han's mind roared again, and the illusion disappeared immediately, but Xu Han's face turned pale, and his body staggered and sat in the snow.

He stared blankly ahead, muttering, "It's me... It's me..."

"He's !! me"

......

Ah Huang lowered his head and looked at Xuan'er beside him, and he also looked at Xuan'er on the side with a whimper.

Xuan'er's amber eyes were full of worry, and she looked straight at Xu Han, who was sitting not far away.

The night was already dark, and the golden light on the Tianzhu pattern was extinguished again because he couldn't wait for Xu Han's activation for a long time.

It was snowing again on the snow-capped Kunlun Mountain, and Xu Han's clothes and hair were covered with snow, and he sat there motionless, like an ice sculpture that had been frozen by the snow.

Ever since he had been bewildered by the illusion and had fallen to the ground, he had been muttering to himself for a long time in a trance, and had remained in his present state until he had regained his composure. For a whole day and a night, he didn't move a little distance, and he didn't say a word.

Xuan'er was naturally worried about Xu Han, but no matter how coquettish it was and how it rubbed the corners of his clothes, Xu Han never responded to him.

It walked to the side with Ah Huang and Woo, and looked at Xu Han quietly, without making any sound.

The snow kept falling, not big but endless.

The night passed, the sky began to brighten, and the snow that had fallen all night gradually stopped.

The bright sun in the early morning revealed a white fish belly from the eastern sky, and the young man who had sat for a day and a night, with snow on his head and body, suddenly stood up at that time.

Xuan'er, who had been watching Xu Han, noticed Xu Han's abnormality for the first time, and they immediately stood up, and Xuan'er jumped on Xu Han's shoulder, tilting her head and looking at Xu Han with concern.

Xu Han lowered his head and stretched out his hand to shake off the snow on his head, and then looked at Xuan'er on his shoulder, he smiled at Xuan'er, and said apologetically: "I worried you." ”

"Meow. Xuan'er squinted her eyes and called at Xu Han.

Xu Han smiled again, and he said, "It's okay, you go and stay aside first, I have to do something." ”

Although Xuan'er didn't quite understand what Xu Han was talking about, she still jumped to the other side very obediently.

I saw Xu Han, who got up again after a night of meditation, reached out and stroked the lines on the pillar of heaven as he did yesterday, and the lines instantly turned golden, and then Xu Han stood to the side, stretched out his left hand with a solemn expression, and the sharp sword intent on his right hand surged, and slowly came to the finger of the left hand.

Although his body was still trembling a little, his gaze was extremely determined.

Seeing that the sharp sword intent was about to cut through the skin on his fingers, his head roared again.

The boy who was exactly the same as him appeared in his mind again, he still had a strange and hideous smile on his face, he looked at Xu Han and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"

Xu Han couldn't tell whether this young man who was exactly the same as him was his hallucination or something real, he was slightly stunned at that time, but soon a smile appeared on his face, and he asked rhetorically, "Didn't you do it too?"

"So I warn you not to do it. What was surprising was that the illusion that should have existed in Xu Han's mind really responded to Xu Han at that time.

"What will happen if you don't do it?" Xu Han asked again.

The smile on the young man's face was even worse, and he stared at Xu Han for a while before he spit out a cold word from his mouth: "Death." ”

Xu Han probably didn't expect that he would get such an answer, he couldn't help but be stunned at that time, and then said: "Since I will die if I don't do this, why don't I do it?"

The boy's eyes narrowed, and there was contempt and pity in his eyes.

"There is no shortage of things in this world that are more terrible than death, and you are the source of all the horrors in this world. ”

Xu Han frowned, when he recognized this illusion, Xu Han had already realized the hidden dangers behind doing this, so he thought about it for a day and a night before he strengthened his mind, but at this time, the words of this illusion made him shake again.

"I've been here before, right?" Xu Han asked again after being silent for a long time.

The young man shook his head: "The answer is in your hands, I can't give it to you." ”

Xu Han looked at his outstretched fingers, he knew what the young man was referring to, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked again, "You are the emperor in my body, right?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed.

Unlike the chilling smile he had before, this time the boy smiled heartily. It's like a spring breeze in March and a summer rain in June.

After a long time, he squinted at Xu Han, his eyes teasing in his long narrow eyes.

He said, "I am you." ”

Xu Han's heart shook, and for some reason he was a little distracted at the moment when the young man's words came out.

When he came to his senses, the young man's figure dissipated again, and a pain came from his fingers. Xu Han was startled, and subconsciously looked down, but saw that at the moment when he lost his mind, his body was actually pulled by some force that he didn't know about, and cut off his fingers.

Then a streak of blood appeared, and a drop of blood spilled from his fingertips, slowly falling towards the golden pillar.

And the boy's voice rang in his ears again.

"Go ahead..."

"To experience this despair that I have experienced eighteen times..."

"I'll wait for you in the abyss, we'll be one after all..."
