Although Yuan Lai had already sensed the problem, he was still taken aback when he learned the specific time.

This was a huge difference from his earliest expectations, so he couldn't help frowning, only to see Xiao Bai say calmly: "You are still the one who has taken the longest time I know. ”

She said confused, puzzled.

However, after being surprised, Yuan Lai quickly calmed down, and his mood returned from slightly nervous to stable, which made Xiao Bai even more surprised.

She couldn't help asking, "You don't seem to be in a hurry?"

"What's the urgency?"

Yuan Lai swallowed another sip of tea, and warmth finally appeared in his belly.

"You must know that a lot of things will happen in a year, especially when there is still a war outside, sometimes the situation may change greatly in three or five days, and it is not completely impossible for the Northwest Army to be completely defeated and killed in more than a year. ”

Xiao Bai said, observing the reaction of the young man opposite.

Yuan Lai swallowed a piece of pastry calmly and slowly before saying, "No." ”

"What?"

"I mean, the war will not stop, the Northwest Army will not be defeated, at least until I go back. Yuan Lai said seriously.

"Why?" Xiao Bai wanted to laugh a little, because she didn't understand how Yuan Lai made such an inexplicable judgment.

Yuan Lai smiled at her and didn't say much, he still remembered the conversation he had with Yishi, so of course he was sure that starting this war was premeditated by Yishi, and his original intention was definitely not to think about the royal family and help them settle the hidden danger of Shentu Wojia.

Yuan Lai still can't know the reason why he started this war, but this does not affect his judgment, I once mentioned Zhang Ling, so that means Zhang Ling may have been deliberately let go by him, otherwise, how could Zhang Ling do these things under the nose of the first life?

In this case, he tried his best to start this war, there must be no reason to finish it so quickly, perhaps, he will deliberately release water?

Of course, these are all speculations in Yuan Lai's heart, and there is no need to confide in Xiao Bai.

In addition, there was another reason for Yuan Lai's indifference: he understood the reason why he had consumed so much time.

Ordinary peaks of the Three Realms can break through or fail in three or four months at most, but even if they succeed, what they have reached is only the beginning of the Four Realms.

But this is not the case with Yuan Lai.

Although he himself didn't know the specific division, after all, the Four Realms level no longer relied on the amount of vitality to win, but he still had a judgment on his own strength, that is, he was definitely not just the first level of the Four Realms!

As for what level it was, he didn't know.

Xiao Bai saw that he didn't say anything, sighed lightly, and didn't ask much, just said: "I don't know the situation outside, since you have broken through, when will you leave?"

Yuan Lai thought for a moment and said, "Immediately." ”

He smiled lightly: "It's useless to be anxious about what has happened, but it will make the mind unclear, but since I've woken up, of course I can't continue to delay, so I'm actually quite anxious." ”

Xiao Baiguaner.

......

said that it was immediate, but Yuan Lai still finished this meal, the damage to his body after being frozen for a year was still there, and he needed to be conditioned, after all, he was still a mortal, and he had to eat grains.

After that, he said goodbye to Xiao Bai and re-entered the Thousand Mountains.

Yuan Lai's goal is very clear, that is, to go back to the sect first, before leaving, he had called Yo You to record, at this time it is not wise to rush to the front line, he used his strength to completely suppress the movement of his breakthrough, that is, he hoped to leave enough buffer time for himself.

Other than that......

After breaking through the four realms, he still has a few things to do.

The Thousand Mountains are still the same, and although a year has passed, there is little change to be seen.

Yuan Lai walked in the wind and snow with emotion, and after a while, he saw the plum forest again.

Merlin was the same as before, but because of his previous breakthrough movement, he shattered a plum blossom, and the tip of his nose secretly lingered, Yuan Lai walked through it, looking at the lake that had returned to calm and was silent.

Suddenly, he picked up the handful of moon cranes in his hand.

This sword originally existed as a key to the world of the Soul Cloud Sect, but now it is of little use, just as a sword, it is still a rare divine weapon in the world, but after advancing to the Four Realms, Yuan Lai has seen too many traces of the entanglement of fate from it.

This sword has a long history, and it has accompanied many masters, and countless people have been killed, so it has been entangled in too many causes and effects.

For Yuan Lai's fate, the resistance is greater than the help.

"It's your sword, and since you're going to fight, there's no reason to take it. ”

Yuan Lai silently muttered to himself, and then casually threw the moon crane into the air.

I saw the illusory appearance of the crane spirit on the sword, and let out a scream, and then sank into the warm lake with the sword body.

The area of this lake is very small, but Yuan Lai can see that the depth is extremely deep, and this time Shen Jian, he doesn't know when it will be born again.

Yuan Lai finally sighed, cheered up, and then walked away, his steps were small, but the distance he took with each step was very large, and in a short time, he disappeared into the misty snow.

......

Although it reached the four realms, it was not a thousand miles in one step, and the atmosphere of a thousand mountains was extremely great, and it took Yuan Lai a few more days to finally get out of the mountain range.

When he came back to the world of armor removal, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

The small world that used to be esoteric to him is much simpler in his eyes now, but after all, this is a small world in the realm of armor removal, and there are still two realms separated from his cultivation, so it is still difficult to fully control it.

When he advanced to the Four Realms, in his heart, his Great Dao successfully devoured most of the core of the Armor Removal World, so his control over this small world also reached a new level.

"From. ”

Yuan Lai stood on the grassland, thinking about the barrier of the armor removal world, and beckoned lightly, and the small world, which was still huge, shrank again.

This is another shrinkage after he took control of the unarmored world in the first place.

And this time, the entire armor removal world has shrunk to the size of a potted plant almost in a few of them!

It's still a bit big, but it's barely hand-to-hand.

Yuan Lai subconsciously wanted to hold it up, but when he used his palm to support it, his face changed.

He immediately became short of breath, and he used all his strength to carry the power of the four realms, and he was finally able to hold it up!

This small world is unimaginably heavy!

And such a heavy force only fell on Yuan Lai, making his bones all over his body make an overwhelmed sound.

He hurriedly shook it off, and the small world fell on the grassland, and then grew larger again, becoming a crystal thing the size of a small mountain.

"Sure enough, it's still worse!"

Yuan Lai shook his head, slightly disappointed, he just gave it a try, but he was not frustrated, after all, he was still a huge difference from himself.

And when he did this, there was calm in the world of armor removal.

The Fountain of Vitality had already subsided for a few days and had returned to its original state.

Yo You also went from being hesitant at the beginning, to now she has turned to look forward to it.

She spent most of the past two days sitting on the platform with her eyes closed.

It's just that I can't feel at ease all the time, and I have to open my eyes and look out from time to time.

And today, it's the same, but the difference is that when she opened her eyes for the first time and looked into the distance, she was stunned.

She jumped to her feet, even rubbing her eyes, and when she saw the young man who was rapidly approaching along the steps, Yo You let out a surprise in surprise.

Then he returned to the forest like a milk swallow, turning into a phantom and running towards Yuan Lai.

"You're back!?"

When Yo You pounced, the first sentence was still unbelievable.

Yuan Lai hugged her helplessly but comfortably, and said softly, "I'm back." ”

......

......

Yuan Lai's return shocked the entire sect, and the changes in the sect over the past year or so also made Yuan Lai feel happy.

Yo Yo and Xiao Ye naturally asked questions and were overjoyed.

Yuan Lai had to talk to them for a while before he could understand what had happened.

And the two people who heard the news couldn't help but be stunned.

"You mean, you're really already a Great Cultivator of the Four Realms?"

She still couldn't believe it, in Youyou's eyes, the Four Realms were already a rare big man in the world, and it was difficult for her to associate this identity with Yuan Lai.

Yuan Lai nodded amusedly, and then restrained his mood to go home.

After all, he had more important things to do, so he spoke: "Have you remembered the events of the battle that I asked you to record when I left?"

Yo You immediately woke up, then ran out, and returned to the room after a while, handing over the thick bound materials of the book to Yuan Lai.

Yuan Lai nodded with satisfaction, and immediately collected his mood and began to read.

He was desperate to know what was going on.

When Yo You saw it, although she was reluctant, she still sensibly pulled Xiao Ye away, left the room, and left Yuan Lai to be quiet.

There are a lot of books, and the information that has been piled up for more than a year can be called a huge amount, and his newly promoted cultivation will not help this, Yuan Lai can only forcibly press the heart to watch the latest battle situation, but concentrate on the information from the time he left to the present.

He needs a complete understanding, not a partial understanding.

So, Yuan Lai immediately sank his heart completely into it, time passed, and he turned more and more pages, and after it got dark, Yo You sent a lamp and candle, and then silently retreated.

Yuan Lai absorbed this lack of knowledge very seriously, sometimes frowning, sometimes his eyes were bright, and as he read these materials, he began to understand the changes in the whole event of the year, and when the night passed and another morning came, Yuan Lai finally closed the last page.

There was no trace of tiredness in his eyes, but he was in good spirits, and he looked up, just as the last bit of wick of the candlestick next to him was extinguished, and the morning sun was shining through the crack in the door.

Yuan Lai got up gently, pushed the door and walked out, and in front of him was a round of the rising sun in the mountains and rivers.

The next moment, his body flashed, and he disappeared here, and at the same time, his figure also appeared on the periphery of the lake island in the unarmored world.

Returning here again, Yuan Lai's mood was very different, he walked step by step, the time in the forest was still slow, but it was no longer profound but traceable.

"The power of time involves a much more advanced level. ”

Yuan Lai stood in place and looked at it for a while before he sighed.

Then he walked straight into the room on the island in the lake.

Xin Qing was still asleep, her face unchanged, almost unchanged from when he left a year ago.

As for the abdomen, it is more bulging.

Yuan Lai stood under her bed, with mixed feelings,

"I'm back. He whispered, but unfortunately Xin Qing didn't respond.

He has always felt very strange about Xin Qing's sleep, and now that he has come back to understand the battle situation, he has calmed down after knowing that the situation is not much different from his guess, and the second thing is to think of Xin Qing.

He wanted to test a guess in his mind.

Yuan Lai suddenly exhaled a breath, and then the pupils in his eyes disappeared, and the appearance of the sea of stars appeared instead, as if the endless cosmic galaxy in his eyes appeared.

At the same time, the divine consciousness has also spread, enveloping the entire armor removal world.

Xin Qing, who was sleeping on the bed, had an aura of Taoism and mystery, which was Yuan Lai using the vision of the four realms to explore the truth of Xin Qing's sleep.

This process lasted for a full quarter of an hour before those mysterious auras finally faded away, and Yuan Lai's eyes returned to normal.

"And so it was!"

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

In his eyes, Xin Qing's soul did not seem to fly into the starry sky when she died, but was bound by a strange rule of fate, so it underwent some more level of transformation and merged into her womb to form a baby girl.

Referring to what Yuan Lai knew in the past, it was easy to deduce that Xin Qing's soul should have been swallowed by that "goodness" and then spit out, thus forming the spectacle of Xin Qing's self-conception.

"In other words, you are not dead, but self-conceived, and this fetus in the womb is actually your self-rebirth?"

Yuan Lai muttered to himself, this calculation was very reasonable, but he still didn't know what the point of doing it was, unless......

Yuan Lai's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered something.

"Reincarnation! According to speculation, it was the reincarnation of Zhang Guandao that achieved self-rebirth! Only then did I know Wu Sheng and find a way to enter the Pantheon, so that I had the opportunity to take the emperor now! That is to say, ......"

Yuan Lai looked at Xin Qing in amazement and exclaimed, "You are actually repeating the method of reincarnation that you tried in your first life?"

As soon as this thought came out, it suddenly became clear.

Yuan Lai was dazed, stunned, shocked, and emotional, all kinds of emotions gathered in his heart, and finally turned into a long sigh.

It's always a good thing to figure out joints, and it's also a good thing to know that Xin Qing is not dead but reincarnated, as for whether this is a coincidence or a trick of fate, Yuan Lai no longer cares.

In a word......

The time to know everything is not far off.

Yuan Lai walked out of the hut, closed the door, and then turned his mind and stepped into the woods, sitting at the chessboard stone table left by the first generation and was silent.

He couldn't look at the chessboard at all, but now he only swept the number and shook his head and walked away.

It was not because the chessboard was no longer foggy in his heart, the depth of the realm contained in the chessboard was far beyond Yuan Lai's cultivation at this time, he still couldn't see the core, but he already knew that there was no need to look closely.

Once again, he realized that the way he understood fate was diametrically opposed to his own, and that if it was so, it was useless no matter how profound it was.

When Yuan Lai returned to the Yunzong Palace, he saw Youyou standing at the door of the room in a daze, looking around, and without waiting for Youyou to speak, Yuan Lai's eyes flashed and said, "Take me to see Yuanmu." ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "The enmity with Qianza should always be broken. ”
