When the morning light shot into the forest, Yang Ze no longer knew how many nights it was.

The red light penetrated the lush trees, and from between the towering ancient trees, a curtain of light curtains, and countless gold-plated particles flew in the "curtains". Swirling among the ancient vines of the trees, the brown fur of the red squirrel picking pine cones was disturbed, and finally fell on the ground on the ground like a thin blanket of yellowed pines and cypresses, like a naturally growing quilt, with the smell of green fruit and pine exposed to the sun.

Through those ancient trees, abrupt and strange stones, the shadows of the leaves in the sun, the incomparably ancient forest gaps. In the extreme of the view, you can see the undulating forests, and occasionally decorate a few clusters of villages, reminding that civilization has never gone away. Occasionally, some clouds and smoke appeared, all of which seemed to be frozen in the realm of the earth and sea that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, as if time had stood still here since thousands of years ago, and had never flowed.

Yang Ze would occasionally stop here, shocked by the majestic and deep forest wonders of this ancient tree like a palace pillar, and forget that he was fleeing.

will also be at a loss for the insignificance of being in this thousands of miles of earth and sea world, as well as for themselves.

Originally, he would have been in the Autumn Dao Academy of the Great Ye Kingdom, listening to the teachings of the weft every day during the evening drum and morning bell, and studying the practice method in thick clothes in the cold season of winter. There are beautiful senior sisters, lovely junior sisters, and maybe senior brothers and classmates who can drink and talk. They can proudly talk about the vertical and horizontal longitude and latitude on the Buzhou Mountain, and talk about the major affairs of Daye and even the empire.

The cultivation academy that is not in the mountains already has the qualifications to participate in the affairs of the world, and has the qualifications to come into contact with the distant peaks of the world. In the future, he will also devote himself to vigorous causes, resist foreign enemies, or use martial arts with other practitioners to prove the Tao. Or maybe your life is getting higher and higher, and you can enter the Imperial Cultivation Institute because you are extremely good, and you can appreciate the larger world of rivers and mountains. Sit at the same table with the most famous people and look down on the powerful of the world.

Not so much, at least you can drink a bowl of chilled grape wine in the Imperial Shengjing on the summer solstice. At least you can eat the most famous mutton soup pot on a winter night. At least you can meet a few unforgettable women and men who can hook up between the fog and the passing years.

That was the trajectory of his life.

However, now he is fleeing in this earthly sea world, thousands of miles away from Daye, which is widely regarded by the world as the most mysterious, the most mixed, and the most chaotic.

Every day he would wake up from an uncertain sleep, sometimes to hide from the knights of the snow wolves of the night. Sometimes I suddenly wake up to the current situation, and then my heart sinks in panic for some reason.

Ji Ling'er went to one of the most famous temples in the Eastern Continent of Kushan called Xituo. His two eldest brothers are in the Kingdom's Buzhou Mountain Cultivation Academy, Liu Qian, a relative of the Marquis of Qichun, is also among them, his cousin Xue Ran, who is not related by blood but is related, is also among them this year, Dong Xuan, who is from the highest official family of the Daye Military Department, was also selected, and many people are among them.

Originally, he was the most promising, promising, and with great development potential this year, but at this moment he was in the chaotic world of Earth and Sea. No matter where it is, chaos no matter how ornately decorated, how favored by the strong, how it represents a great opportunity. Such a place is a depraved existence in the eyes of the world.

So far, he almost doesn't need to understand it personally, and he can also know that the name "Yang Ze" will be rumored by many people after drinking and eating, being sighed, lamented, regretted, talked about, and remembered in the current Daye Wangdu.

And then gradually forgotten in time.

"Sometimes I feel like it's easy to make a choice that changes my fate. Later, I suddenly found that although everyone said that the heavens would descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and act chaotically. But when that time comes, everyone won't necessarily be on a mission from heaven. Really make the choice of straining his muscles and bones, starving his head and eyes dizzy, and confusing his actions. Because it represents a lot of pressure, a resistance that no one even understands. What's more, such a choice does not necessarily get a good result. Yang Ze said to the old man of the Yuan God who was floating beside him, "For example, now, if I had known that just by relying on your divine sense, I would have been able to accurately avoid the sensitive nose pursued by the other horseman, and the eagle eye scattered in the sky. Anticipate the next safe place in advance. At that time, my ghost uncle chose the nearest mountain peak to hide, and he let himself fall into the crisis of fierce and arrogant encirclement. If only I had known that it would wake you up from my consciousness. ”

The old man of the Yuan Shen stood in the air with his hands in his hands, glanced at Yang Ze, was silent for a moment, and said, "This is an experience, you should learn to read." Moreover, I am at least your elder, so you must also be considerate and respectful of my old man. While I'm sleeping, don't be disturbed. ”

"Your ghost uncle's reading power. Uncle Ghost's should not be disturbed. At that time, I almost hung up. If I knew that the Earth Sea World was so unreasonable, I should have followed Ji Ling'er to the Xituo Temple of Nalaoshzi, even if I saw the stinky face of that holy envoy Jia Mu every day, it would be much better than hiding from people in this place where the world is full of monsters. ”

After a pause in his anger, the old man of the Yuan Shen said, "But you also have to understand that when your cultivation was far beyond the siege of the three of you, you could still burst out of the retreat with the maximum potential, and in the past few days of retreat, the spiral arms of the Qi Sea in your body have grown to 26, which has improved compared to the past in any case, and you have also successfully obtained a foundation that is enough to repair the spiritual vein, which is the benefit." ”

"You have been telling me about the spiritual veins all day long, but so far, I haven't seen any great benefits for the spiritual veins for me, at least so far, except for my outstanding talent for being able to quickly comprehend the exercises, the spiritual veins are a kind of constraint for me, if there is no cross-border exercises, the same level can suppress me. I really don't know what is worth boasting about this talent. ”

"You'll soon learn the benefits of this giftedness. The old man squinted suddenly, and then said, "East." ”

Yang Ze immediately bounced up from the ground and scolded, "These guys are really fast enough, it's only been half a day, and his mother has to chase them again!"

Having said that, Yang Ze did not hesitate to follow the instructions and run wildly, the rabbit rose and fell, and fled.

A few hours later, a group of knights stopped at the place where Yang Ze had landed before.

A group of people rolled down and carefully observed the ground, one of them grabbed a handful of pines and cypresses, and then fell heavily on the ground and spitted, "This little thief is running so fast! The clue is lost again! Now I look for the next place, and I don't know when!"

The one who rode the beast at the head was Han Yan, wearing the Wujin Sword that many people in the earth and sea were impressed by, and came to Songbai Di and said, "How is it possible, when you get here, the line is broken again?"

Next to him, his deputy sat a little worried, "This matter is getting bigger and bigger, everyone knows that our night snow wolf has suffered a loss from a rootless cloud wanderer called 'Blue Bear Beast' here in the Cloud Court Realm. Now not only in the Yunting Realm, but also in a few cities, even the nearby Lingshan Realm and the Great River Realm are also spreading, if this continues, wouldn't the Seven Realms of the Earth and Sea know that we have made such a joke. ”

Another person said, "Lieshou is furious, now it is all the intelligence network of our night snow wolf, and the riders personally led by you, the best at chasing Han Hall, have brought so many dozens of eagle harriers that have been cultivated for decades, and the nets in the sky and on the ground have been caught by anyone, but so far, we can still only eat dust behind his ass, does this thief really have the strength to avoid our search net, is he playing tricks on us!?"

"It's best if this thief prays that he will have the luck to escape, otherwise if he falls into my hands, he won't even recognize his mother," Han Yan laughed with her long hair scattered.

The vests of the people around him all swept chilling goosebumps, knowing that although Han Yan had the roughness of a swordsman on the outside, he was actually very masculine, and there was a set of terrifying theories, that is, the opponent who was defeated in his hands, whether male or female, could not escape the fate of being ravaged physically and mentally and disabled.

"I hope it doesn't disappoint, this thief had better have a force behind him that deserves to be listed as a rival by our Night Snow Wolf, if he were alone," muttered a knight with a snowy sword.

Someone immediately interrupted him, "Meng San, you are not crazy! In the Drifting Frost Country, the Hall Master of Han used his own strength and unparalleled pursuit ability to kill the Seven Great Rogues of Flowing Frost, and now he has built a unique pursuit network of the Night Snow Wolf in the Earth Sea, and has cultivated these eagle harriers for decades, who is not impressed. Do you want to say that the other party alone is fighting against our entire arrest network? If you say this, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be enough to become the biggest laughing stock in the Seven Great Realms!"

The riders immediately agreed, "I am almost certain that there must be someone behind him to help him avoid the search nets of our heavens and earth, and in this sky there are other 'eagle eyes' flying in addition to our 'Eagle Eyes', and it must be these Eagle Eyes who know our whereabouts and pass them on to this man to escape." This is something that ordinary wanderers will never do, and at least it can only be done with the support of the thirteen major wandering schools of Earthsea. Now I'm curious and excited, what is the force behind him, no matter who wants to target us, we should think about the next consequences!"

Everyone was in high spirits, and for these riders who licked the blood with their knife heads, encountering a strong enemy was not a terrible thing, but a kind of stimulus of life. If they return to the most peaceful life, they will never fit in again. At this moment, it is reasonable to say that Yang Ze has a whole genre group behind him.

Otherwise, one person will also play their entire pursuit network around, once this kind of thing spreads, I am afraid that they will lose face in the future.

Han Yan flicked his fingers, and the Wujin sword flew out, and the thousand-year-old wood trembled violently, and the power was amazing. After cutting off several ancient trees, and the collapse of the forest trees made the forest frightened and extremely shocked, the Wujin Sword was suddenly returned to its sheath again, and Han Yan returned to the riding beast with a face like frost, "Whether it is with the help of an eagle eye on his head or not, he will never fly away out of thin air, as long as he closes the encirclement and keeps him from falling into the net." We must catch him as soon as possible before the matter spreads! Our night snow wolf is now a Shinto Zhai, including many forces who want to make friends with hot forces, and the opportunity for development in the earth and sea in the future will be unlimited, and the people who are here today will become human beings in the future, so this pursuit must be successful, and no stains are allowed!"

Everyone agreed with a bang, and they got on the beasts one after another, and they drove away along both sides of the long river.

Not far from the source of the small waterfall here, suddenly there was an uproar of waterfall, and Yang Ze poked his head out from behind the waterfall and broke out.

"Shinto, you are a woolen yarn, and you are a sweater in the night. If you want to catch me, you are still 108,000 miles away. Yang Ze jumped out with a fierce son, just now after he went around in a big circle according to the instructions of the old man of the Yuan Shen. He also used a kind of earthly sea natural ripe wood fruit and cloud body technique to close the breath in the body, and then skillfully used the dead corners of the terrain to avoid the observation range of the eagle's eye, consciously opened the pores in the body to leave clues, misleading the other party to chase away, and then circle back by himself.

"They followed this direction, and only a day later did they realize that they had been misled. When the time comes, it will be two or three days later. Now, old man, have we bought enough time?"

The corners of Yang Ze's mouth curled up slightly.

It's a clearing on the edge of a deep pool.

A round of bright moon that does not look like a thing in the world shines obliquely in the middle of the ancient woods, and the forest is full of smoke and shadows. Strange flowers and plants bloom in the shallows on the shore, and they are also bright and beautiful for a while.

Between the distant mountain ranges, there seemed to be psychic beasts ready to move, and there were even thunderbolts, and floodlight spirit beasts flew by.

Yang Ze found the most secluded place, between the leaves and forests that covered the sky, and even the stars and moon were mottled when he looked up.

Sitting on a cool ancient stone, Yang Ze put his upper body ** and put the spirit crystal nucleus in his hand at hand. The old man floated beside him and began to guide him to repair the spiritual veins in his body.

Everything has a "potential", and heaven and earth have the "potential" of heaven and earth. There is a general trend in the world, which is dominated by the movement of tens of millions of countries and hundreds of millions of people, and it is surging and running. As big as the universe, as small as birds and fish, the grass and trees are withered. All have their own "potential", with schools of fish migrating every year and birds migrating according to climate change. Even the swords we use to defeat the enemy, the rules for the aggregation of iron tools in molten iron, are all in accordance with some kind of mysterious rules between heaven and earth. Such a rule is called "potential". ”

Yang Ze nodded, this is easy to understand, just like Newton's three laws, maybe only the definition and form are different, but the basic essence of the world is the same.

In the same way, everyone has the same power in them. Through the meridians that allow the True Qi to run, we construct certain rules so that the mortal night can condense the power of heaven and earth and realize this potential outside. This is the true meaning of practice. We use power to change the surrounding environment, change the operation of heaven and earth, and change the fate that mortals cannot control. ”

"A fate beyond the control of mortals. ”

In just one sentence, the macro avenue contained in it echoed like Huang Zhong Dalu.

Yang Ze has experienced two lives, among which he can best understand a certain irresistible relationship of fate in the underworld, such as the unpredictable end of life, such as the regret of the irreversible flow of time, and the eternal curse of life.

Even with his success in another time and space, he still can't stop the accident that is difficult to escape from fate.

So Yang Ze asked the most impatient question in his heart, "Since you are a great master who has cultivated several times, have you already understood the true meaning of cultivation, what is the highest one when you cultivate the ten-fold tower?" Whether it can change one's life against the heavens, or make mortals seek eternal life. ”

After a long silence, the old man shook his head, "I don't know, maybe that's why I'm here and in front of you in this way." Maybe this is still an irresistible fate for me. I don't know what the tenth floor of the Cultivation Tower is, but I can know that the highest level of cultivation should not be immortal like an immortal. Because eternal life is definitely not the end of the avenue, but the beginning of suffering. Eternal life is a prison. It is the most terrible curse in heaven and earth, and your relatives and friends will gradually leave you in time. You will be isolated from time, and you will not end up with someone close to your heart, and you will never dare to have anything that can touch your heart, because that will be short-lived for your long life, and the more you invest, the more you will lose in the end, resulting in eternal loneliness. You can't pursue spiritual fulfillment, because everything is vain, and you can only pursue the eternal and unchanging material, but the material is ultimately cold and unforgiving. And the most terrible thing is that all this is immortal and can never be shaken off. ”

"Eternal life is hell, the hell of eternal calamity!"

Therefore, the highest state of cultivation is not the pursuit of eternal life. ”

"What is that practice pursuing?" Yang Ze was stunned. Some mysterious fantasy in his heart, some of mankind's greatest and most innocent dreams since ancient times, was almost realized one day, and at the moment when the possibility that the greatest fantasists of human society had greatly awaited became a reality, it was suddenly ruthlessly destroyed, and the expectation that was like a bubble of financial crisis was suddenly overwhelming.

It has destroyed the luxury of human beings since ancient times, and countless people have exhausted all their lives to pursue things.

The old man said lightly, "Maybe the pursuit is just to become stronger, maybe it is to protect the people around you, maybe it is the thirst for all kinds of greed." Maybe it's just the pursuit of the practice itself. I didn't reach the ten-story floor, I was trapped in a cage of time and space, so I didn't know either. But I hope that you will one day reach the time and finally tell me what the end of the avenue is. That assumes that you can do all of this before I am alive. As I said, I'm just a primordial god who doesn't exist in this plane, and one day, I'll come to the real end, before that. I will be by your side to help you go further on the path of cultivation. ”

"Now I will teach you how to perceive the true potential in your body, in addition to the most basic meridians, you may be able to find those hidden lines. You carefully understand the "potential" imprinted in the depths of your body. ”

Yang Ze showed his inner vision, this time he explored one by one, and finally in half an hour, he faintly grasped that there were countless "lines" at the deeper level of the meridians, which were colorless, tasteless, and formless, and could only be realized when he sank into the deepest level of meditation. It can only be perceived, and it is difficult to "observe".

Yang Ze opened his eyes. There was a vague excitement in my heart. Because he seemed to be in touch with his own essence, he was a little surprised, and said, "I saw it!"

As a kind of "potential", the spiritual vein has long existed in your body, but this kind of potential is inherently crippled and difficult to invoke, and it is more likely to greatly affect your actual cultivation. ”

Yang Ze nodded, when he used his deep consciousness to probe just now, he had already felt that the lines in these bodies were broken in many places, and many of the loops connected to the sea of qi were destroyed. And this kind of destruction directly leads to this invisible line, and the "power" transmitted to the meridians, heart, and even limbs and bones in the body is drastically reduced. That is also the reason why he is now lacking in strength and cannot be compared to fellow practitioners as cultivators.

"Now you will disintegrate the crystal nucleus in your hand. Use the Qi Induction Technique to draw spiritual energy into your body and repair your injured spiritual veins!"

Yang Ze clenched the spirit crystal nucleus in his hand, moved to extinguish the qi, and directly infused it. The spirit crystal nucleus suddenly glowed with yellow light.

The spirit crystal nucleus is the life essence of a spirit beast's life, no matter whether the spirit beast exerts magical powers, or uses strong physical energy activities that surpass ordinary cultivators, the final life essence is concentrated on the spirit crystal nucleus, and many spirit beasts can hardly develop more than 30% of the potential of the crystal nucleus in their bodies in a lifetime. You can imagine the strength of this kind of thing that condenses the essence of life.

And it is even more impossible for the spirit crystal nucleus to directly absorb the aura inside, because once it does that, it is very likely to trigger a terrifying explosion of the aura of destruction. Any great cultivator will be traumatized, and for some people who rely on this kind of thing that contains the aura of heaven and earth, such as a spirit rune master, they need to use large and complex runes to decompose the life aura bit by bit for their own use. There is a great waste in this process, and the same spirit crystal nucleus, which can have a utilization rate of 30%, is already considered high.

Moreover, the process of decomposition and utilization is a long-term time-consuming and labor-intensive process, so many items made through spirit runes are quite expensive and even rare.

If someone sees Yang Ze directly absorbing the aura of the crystal nucleus like this, I am afraid that they will be shocked.

"Follow my word. Hold on to the sea of qi, return to the pass, and go to the entrance. The gate of Xuanqi, the root of heaven and earth. If it exists, it is not used diligently"

Yang Ze didn't waste half a cent, and the qi extinguishing input stirred up the active aura dust, and then with the invocation of his qi induction technique, under the rotation of the sea of qi, he entered the body along the limbs and five bones. This is a rather slow process, for Yang Ze, his sea of qi seems to be pulling a venerable boulder, these aura seems to have a considerable quality in every particle, overlapping together, it is no less than a vast boulder. It is carried by the full operation of his two large seas and incorporated into his own body.

He finally understood why Yuan Shen repeatedly emphasized that he must have at least 26 spiral arms to repair the spiritual veins, because only the traction provided by the qi sea of the 26 spiral arms could transport these spiritual qi without wasting a single penny, and only then could these spiritual qi be transported to the "line" of the spiritual veins in his body, instead of going through the meridians, and completely used in the spiritual veins.

As soon as the aura entered the spiritual vein, it was extremely difficult, as if it was met with countless resistance. It was like a massive collision of clouds and clouds in the sky, each particle collided with the composition of the invisible spiritual vein, and then sparked countless thunder and lightning. Yang Ze was covered in sweat, and the top of his head was steaming.

Under the guidance of the Yuan Shen, he continued to absorb the aura of the crystal nucleus in his hand, and the crystal nucleus gradually became extremely transparent and bright, showing that the aura inside it was imported into Yang Ze's body without the slightest waste, and it was given as needed.

With the mobilization of the deep consciousness guided by the Yuan Shen, the aura surged towards the mutilated spiritual veins in his body, and everywhere he passed, the lines of the invisible spiritual veins flowed out of a golden line! It shows a fierce collision reaction of the combination of internal spiritual veins and aura. Shenhua Shimmer.

Yang Ze saw that from the beginning of his arm holding the crystal nucleus, his body was as transparent, and he could see that countless golden lines began to extend from the palm of his hand, spreading, like blood vessels, and continued to go up along the structure of the body.

The golden lines flowed into the two air seas in the body, and suddenly a faint golden light appeared in the qi sea, expanding a circle, and countless true qi inside were intensified, flashing golden sparks, gathered together, and they were as dazzling as the sun.

And these golden lines output upwards, entering the heavenly court above his head, and scattering to his ears and eyes.

Suddenly, Yang Ze felt that his ears and eyes were immediately expanding several times, and he could distinguish every tiniest drop of water falling on the stones of the waterfall next to him. When I opened my eyes, I could see the dew drops of the leaves of the trees a hundred meters away. The whole world suddenly became colorful before his eyes, it was a mysterious feeling, and the things he accepted for a while were advancing by leaps and bounds compared to before, as if everything was perceived.

And at this moment, Yang Ze also used his eyesight and ear power to immediately feel that in all directions, there were countless roaring movements coming out, approaching his position.

Wolves, colorful tigers, green bears, wolverines, hyenas, and moon-striped black bears

Through the low roars among the trees, Yang Ze had immediately judged that these fierce beasts in the jungle, for some reason, were actually coming towards his location.

For a moment, the red eyes around him flashed, and the beast snorted.

The wolves poked out their claws from the forest, and the blue bear beast used its thick claws with scale armor to break through the bushes, and the moon-striped black bear blocked the moonlight tall. These fierce spirit beasts approaching in all directions, with a low roar from their mouths, their faces were hideous and distorted, and they gradually appeared in all directions, densely packed, surrounding Yang Ze outside the circular space.

Yang Ze was in a cold sweat, secretly complaining, he was at a critical moment now, how could he be distracted? These large pieces of fierce spirit beasts were gathered, most of them because of the unusual aura fluctuations he had here.

He had seen the horror of these vicious spirit beasts eating and eating people, and now he was stripped naked, like a meal on a stone, and the hyenas alone could tear him apart completely!

A leading snow-white white wolf was obviously already a second-order spirit beast, and he was moving forward with a low roar, his white hair standing on end, staring fiercely at Yang Ze on the stone, and he might pounce on him at any time and bite his throat.

A blue bear beast king with horns on his head has reached the third order spirit beast, his eyes are shining with yellow light, and he can't wait to pierce Yang Ze.

The golden lines in Yang Ze's body have reached the key point of his knees at this moment, and there are many golden threads in his body, which appear from his transparent body one by one.

The golden light finally passed through his feet, covering his entire body, and the crystal nucleus dimmed, revealing that it had released all the life aura. At the same time, the two large seas in his body made a crackling sound similar to a storm, and suddenly became dazzling. The broken pulses that have not been connected in many parts of the body suddenly break through at this moment, and they are perfectly penetrated!

His whole body was under the cold moonlight at this moment, and countless beautiful gold threads were all over his body. The spirit veins are repaired and formed.

A feeling that is several times more comfortable than sitting for a long time and stretching, and the whole body flows like never before.

Yang Ze can clearly "feel" those looming lines, which have been completely connected from beginning to end, with a beginning and an end, which is extremely complete.

Although it is as fine as a hair.

But the true qi surging in his body was actually several times stronger than before! He actually jumped into the peak realm of the four grades of cunyi, leaping two levels in a row, a feeling of perfect integration with the way of nature, and an endless flourish.

At the same time, the snow-white wolf closest to him suddenly roared "whining", and his feet suddenly knelt on the ground and prostrate in front of Yang Ze!

The Blue Bear Beast King also immediately lay on all fours, looked at Yang Ze with extremely resentful eyes, and surrendered together.

The surrounding black oppressive wolves, black bears, eye-catching giant tigers, and all the vicious spirit beasts around them, at this moment, knelt down and surrendered.

Under the moonlit night, there are shadows and shadows, in the forest with ancient trees towering to the sky. A man sitting quietly on a stone, covered in **, but flowing with golden lines all over his body. There are countless fierce spirit beasts from the earth and sea around them, and the black pressure is like a pilgrimage to kneel on the ground and be subdued.

This is a real and mysterious scene.

It was this night of the earth and sea when Yang Ze had been in exile for a year.

(To be continued)
