At this time, it was rainy weather, and the entire sky was covered with dark clouds. Although it was only noon, the sky had completely darkened, and some of the small cabins looked even darker.

At this time, in the cabin where Ye Xiaotian lived, there were two figures. One of them is naturally Ye Xiaotian, the owner of the house, while the other one is hidden in the dark, making it difficult to see its appearance.

The hut seemed unusually quiet, neither of them seemed to speak, and after a long silence, after all, it was Ye Xiaotian who spoke first: "Uncle, the third request, can't you really change it?" Ye Xiaotian's tone carried a hint of pleading.

"No!" said the dark shadow, unquestioningly.

"Then I'll ......" Ye Xiaotian lowered his head, and was about to say the decision in his heart. At this time, the black shadow interrupted him and said again: "My request will not change, but I also don't ask you to give me an answer now, I can give you time to think about it, but you must give me an answer tonight at the latest, during this time, you should think about it!"

"Tonight, I'm ......" Ye Xiaotian raised his head and was about to say something more, but when he looked intently, he saw that the wooden table was already empty, and there was still a figure. In this regard, Ye Xiaotian could only sigh helplessly, and at the same time, he was even more shocked by the mastery of the Black Shadow Dao Method. I also have a little more pride in being a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"I know that you have a special attachment to that little girl, but you have to think clearly, whether it is a temporary parting in exchange for a long time in the future, or whether you are now entangled in the short time of the past few years, and finally helplessly become a person of two worlds! These two points, you have to think clearly!" Sitting on the bed, Ye Xiaotian's mind echoed with the words of the black shadow, and his mood was inexplicably heavy.

Although Ye Xiaotian felt strange about the two things that the black shadow asked him to do, it seemed that he was far away from him, so Ye Xiaotian didn't care much about it, so he readily agreed.

One of the two things was that after he had achieved cultivation and found a place called Guyue Cave Mansion in Kyushu, there was a mysterious ancient book in it that was very important to the Black Shadow. As for the other thing, he will only do it after he has achieved cultivation, but this time he is looking for a person, a powerful monk named Ao Canghai.

And the three requirements are a little difficult for Ye Xiaotian.

First of all, the first request made him feel very strange, because the black shadow asked Ye Xiaotian not to talk about him to anyone, including Ye Shi'er, who was closest to him. Although Ye Xiaotian felt a little confused about this request, he also understood some of the world's feelings now, and knew that some elders in the sect were withdrawn, and they didn't like others to ask too much about their situation, so Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but ask nothing, and agreed.

However, the second request made him hesitate a little, because the black shadow asked him to give up the Heavenly Sword Gate Foundation Building Exercise "Returning to the Yuan Gong" that he was currently practicing, and instead practice the strange exercise "Soul Sutra". It was Ye Xiaotian who didn't agree immediately, but only said that he would think about it. For "Guiyuan Gong", although he also felt that cultivating it was not very effective, as his first cultivation method, he still had some feelings in it.

However, the black shadow didn't seem to ask him to give an answer immediately this time, and then he said the third request, and this third request completely stumped Ye Xiaotian.

For Ye Xiaotian, after getting along with him for a year, Ziyunju and the others, who were very close to him, had long been regarded by him as relatives. Especially Ye Shi'er, who takes great care of him, he has an inexplicable dependence on her. And the third request of the black shadow is to let him leave Ziyunju and follow him to a certain place to practice the "Soul Sutra", until the foundation is successfully built, he can return to Ziyunju.

"Ziyunju!Guiyuan Gong!" Ye Xiaotian stared at the cyan book he was holding in his hand and muttered in a low voice. The cyan book was the "Returning to the Yuan Gong" that he had been practicing for a year, and the black shadow took the "Soul Sutra" with him when he left, but the book was returned to him, and then left a sentence that he hoped he would consider carefully.

Regarding the practice of returning "Guiyuan Gong" to the black shadow, Ye Xiaotian was ignorant and knew a little bit of what he meant, he thought that after Ye Xiaotian had little effect by cultivating "Guiyuan Gong" again, he would be completely disappointed in Guiyuan Gong, at that time, Ye Xiaotian would have a great chance of complying with his request and cultivating the "Soul Sutra" in desperation.

Ye Xiaotian stared at "Guiyuan Gong", for a long time, he sighed, although he knew the meaning of the black shadow, he had to do what he wanted.

"Guiyuan Gong, am I really not suitable for cultivating it?" Ye Xiaotian muttered. The next moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his mind sinking into his body, and his hands were clenched on his knees. Obviously, he was indeed as expected by the black shadow, and he couldn't wait to cultivate.

Time passed in a hurry in the boring cultivation! For a long time, when Ye Xiaotian woke up from his cultivation state again, he opened his eyes, only to feel that the room was even darker than it was at the beginning, and he let out a long sigh.

In the evening, in this boring cultivation as scheduled, this whole afternoon, Ye Xiaotian had been cultivating, but the concentration of spiritual energy in his dantian did not increase in the slightest. On the contrary, he also felt that the aura seemed to have decreased a little.

In fact, Ye Xiaotian has always had no time to practice in the afternoon because he has to do his homework every day, and occasionally he will be busy and secretly run a Guiyuan Gong in addition to carrying water, but the effect is just like today, the aura does not increase but decreases, and he used to attribute the reason to the fact that his mind is not quiet because of secret practice, so something may have gone wrong in cultivation.

But now it seems that this is not the case, although today he began to be disturbed by the black shadow, but when he was cultivating, he adjusted it, and during the cultivation process, he kept his mind on the operation of the aura in his body, and there were no accidents halfway, but that's it, the aura in his dantian did not increase but decreased.

"Could it be that I'm really not suitable for cultivating it?" Ye Xiaotian threw the "Guiyuan Gong" on the wooden table, sighed, he pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, and slowly walked towards the kitchen of Ziyunju.

I'm going to answer the mysterious uncle tonight, and before that, I should at least go and see Sister Shi'er.

Ye Xiaotian walked into the kitchen with heavy steps. Unexpectedly, the kitchen was not as lively as before, everyone sat quietly, even Ye Qingshan, who had always liked to talk a lot, seemed unusually silent, although his appearance surprised Ye Xiaotian, but what surprised him even more was that Ye Shi'er, who had always been active, was not in this kitchen.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to ask, but at this time, Ye Qingshan also saw him, he interrupted Ye Xiaotian, and said, "Xiaotian, you are here, it just so happened that we made a decision just now, and we were about to ask your opinion!"

"Decision?" Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian was stunned and asked, "What decision?"

"Hmm...... That's the case, we are going to leave Ziyunju tomorrow morning and go to the worldly life, Xiaotian, do you want to come with us?" After hesitating for a while, Ye Qingshan finally said.

"Huh?" Ye Xiaotian was stunned and said, "Why did you leave?"

"Because we all feel that there is no hope for building a foundation, so we ......"

"No, it's still a year...... Ye Xiaotian interrupted Ye Qingshan's words, but he also seemed to realize something, so that his voice was a little unnatural, and it was getting lower and lower.

"Hehe!" Ye Qingshan smiled bitterly and said, "You also think that it is impossible for us to build a foundation in a year! Yes, it took me a full four years to cultivate the Guiyuan Gong to nine cyclones, which can impact the foundation building, but now that the foundation building has failed, we have to start all over again, but it is impossible to cultivate to nine cyclones again before I become an adult!"

Sighing, Ye Qingshan said again: "So, we gathered here tonight to discuss leaving Ziyun Residence and going to the worldly life as soon as possible, now we are all fourteen or fifteen years old, although we can't be regarded as adults, but we have been cultivating in Zixia Peak for a few years, and we have also done our homework for several years, so we will not suffer any losses in the world!"

"You guys, are you all ready to leave Ziyun Residence, don't you still have a chance?" Hearing Ye Qingshan say this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but ask the rest of him.

"Well, we also decided to go, because we are not as good as Brother Qingshan in terms of physique and talent, and now, even Brother Qingshan has failed to build a foundation, which also means that our hope is even slimmer, so it is just a waste of time to stay here, it is better to follow Brother Qingshan to the worldly life as soon as possible! Oh, by the way, you can also go with us, Xiaotian!" one of the teenagers in the crowd replied.

"Shall I go with you too?" Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised, pointing to himself and asking.

"Well, although you are still young, your qualifications are not as good as ours, and it is estimated that you will not reach the Nine Cyclones before you become an adult, so instead of leaving alone in a few years, it is better to go with us now, and have a good look!" the man continued.

"Hmm, this one...... By the way, you made this decision, do you know Sister Shi'er?" After hesitating for a while, Ye Xiaotian suddenly asked.

"This ......" The man was stunned, did not speak, but said in a deep voice on the side: "Xiao Shi doesn't know! But we made this decision to hide from Xiao Shi, so naturally we won't let her know!"

"Why?" Ye Xiaotian said. But after a pause, he figured out something again, indeed, if Sister Shi'er knew about this, she would definitely stop it, although he didn't understand why Sister Shi'er was not in the kitchen at this time.

"Xiaotian, you have been living in Ziyunju for a year, you should know some things!" Ye Qingshan said in a deep voice, "With Xiaoshi's temperament, if we stay in Ziyunju for one more day, she will continue to stay in Ziyunju for one more day, although this is beneficial to us, but it is extremely unfavorable for Xiaoshi, with her qualifications, the inner gate compound is where she should really stay!"

"In the past, we didn't leave Ziyunju because we didn't have a chance to leave, Xiaoshi would return to Ziyunju every day, once she saw that we were gone, she would definitely chase down the mountain, with her speed, it would not be difficult to catch up with us......! We used to ...... It is true that he hopes to stay in the Heavenly Sword Gate forever, so the idea of leaving Ziyunju is not very strong. ”

"Hmm, could it be that there is a chance to leave this time?" Ye Xiaotian said puzzled.

"Well, Xiao Shi went to the inner gate compound, it is estimated that he will not come back in a day or two, and this time is enough for us to leave Ziyun Mountain!

"Hmm...... This one...... Can I think about it for a while?" Ye Xiaotian showed a hint of hesitation in his expression. In a trance, he remembered what the black shadow had said, he predicted that he would make a choice at night, and it was very likely that he would follow him to practice! Now it seemed that his prediction was quite accurate, and this also made his image more mysterious in Ye Xiaotian's heart. At the same time, he also had more awe of this Heavenly Sword Sect!

"Yes, anyway, we will only set off tomorrow morning, but you have to think clearly, staying here will only affect Xiao Shi's cultivation progress!" Ye Qingshan's tone was serious.

"Hmm!" Having figured out the key, Ye Xiaotian nodded.

At that moment, everyone hastily used food to fruit their stomachs and went out of the kitchen. And when Ye Xiaotian was about to go to the wooden house, a voice suddenly sounded, "Have you decided?"

Although this voice sounds a little indifferent, it is also extremely refreshing, and people can't be disgusted. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but follow the prestige, only to see that not far in front of the door, there was a man in white standing proudly, the man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome figure, as if he was out of the world.

In front of him, everyone in the courtyard looked extremely mediocre, and in Ye Xiaotian's heart, only the beautiful and refined Sister Shi'er could be comparable to him.

At this time, Ye Qingshan, who was walking with his head down, also saw the man, and he answered, "Senior Brother Qin, we have already decided to leave the Purple Cloud Residence tomorrow morning and go to the worldly life!"

"Well, you can figure it out best, in this case, I will come over tomorrow morning to see you down the mountain!" After that, the man pinched the sword trick in his hand, but he didn't stop staying, jumped on the flying sword that was sacrificed by him, and flew towards the place outside Ziyun Ju.

"Let's go back to the house first!" Ye Qingshan greeted, and then walked straight to his house. The rest of the people did like him, and they went to their houses.

When Ye Xiaotian returned to the house, he was still thinking about the posture of Senior Brother Qin leaving just now, "Alas, when did I have such a powerful person!" Ye Xiaotian muttered as he pushed open the wooden door.

It's just that the moment he pushed open the door, a voice startled him, "What, do you envy him?"

Ye Xiaotian followed the sound and saw a black shadow sitting on the chair next to the wooden table, it seemed that the words that were full of coldness just now were undoubtedly issued by him.

"Are you, uncle?" Ye Xiaotian asked tentatively.

"Hmm!" the dark shadow's words were still as clear and cold as they were.

"Whew!" Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, "This uncle is really weird, he always appears so suddenly, and he likes to hide in the shadows, which scares me!" He complained secretly in his heart, and said, "Uncle Shi, why did you come so early?" He knew that this mysterious uncle was coming at night, but he didn't expect that just after evening, he would wait for him in his cabin.

The black shadow said coldly: "The old man doesn't have a lot of time to talk like you little babies, and the sooner you want to do it, the better!"

After a pause, the black shadow said again: "How about it? Can you think about it? Do you follow the old man to cultivate the Soul Sutra, or stay here to practice the useless Guiyuan Gong? Or do you decide to go to the world with those little babies?"

Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian was stunned, but immediately relieved. Since this master has uncanny skills, it is not surprising to know what they are discussing in the kitchen!

At the moment, Ye Xiaotian said helplessly: "You know everything, why are you still asking me what I am doing? Since my stay here will drag down Sister Shi'er's cultivation, then I should follow my master to practice, in this way, maybe I can see Sister Shi'er in the future!"

"Hmph, you're quite considerate of others, it's completely different from what you used to be!" said the Black Shadow coldly.

"Huh?" Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but wonder, "Same as me before?...... Uncle Fei, do you know what I was like before, can you tell me?" Ye Xiaotian pleaded.

"Well, I know something. But you're not fit to know that right now!" Shadow replied coldly.

"Why?" Ye Xiaotian wondered, "This is my memory, why can't I know it myself?"

"There's no why, but if you really want to know, it's not impossible. It's just, this requires one condition?" said the dark shadow lightly.

"What conditions?" Ye Xiaotian immediately asked.

At that time, the old man will naturally tell you about your past!"

After listening to the words of the black shadow, Ye Xiaotian was helpless for a while, saying that there was a condition, but in fact, this was not to postpone the time of notification. But he also knew that even if he continued to entangle, the black shadow would not tell him now, and it was better to think about building the foundation sooner rather than that.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but resolutely ask, "Uncle Shi, when will we leave?"

"Oh, you're decided?"

"Hmm!" Ye Xiaotian nodded.

"Well, decide to go at any time!"

"Okay, I'll go out first, and I'll leave when I get back!" Ye Xiaotian nodded, wanting to open the wooden door and go outside. He had only taken a few steps before the shadow stopped him!

"You must want to say goodbye to those little babies when you go out now!" said the black shadow coldly.

"Hmm!" Ye Xiaotian turned around and nodded in surprise.

"The old man advises you not to go! If you follow me to practice, you will definitely become people in the cultivation world in the future, and they will eventually become worldly people. There's no way you'll have any crossroads in the future, so there's no need to say goodbye to them now, and it's just a matter of trouble!"

"But ......"

"Hmph, you can go if you want, but the old man won't wait for you!"

"Okay!" Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian gave up the move of pulling the door out and retreated! Although the black shadow said that he was persuading him just now, his tone was very resolute, so that he couldn't resist.

"Okay! Now, you close your eyes first!" Seeing Ye Xiaotian return to his original position, the black shadow said lightly.

"Huh?" Ye Xiaotian was stunned, not knowing why.

"If you tell you to close it, close it, don't talk much!" said the dark shadow.

"Oh!" Ye Xiaotian responded, although he felt very weird, but thinking that this uncle's personality was originally very weird, he calmly closed it.

"Remember, you'd better keep it closed when I didn't say you could open it, even if you feel any weird things during this time!"

Ye Xiaotian nodded. After the dark shadow said this, he did not speak again, and the room became silent. Vaguely, Ye Xiaotian felt a sudden stinging pain in his mind, this stinging pain was so intense, he couldn't help but want to open his eyes to see what was happening, but thinking of the black shadow's advice, he finally gritted his teeth and endured it. Fortunately, the stinging pain did not last long, and after a while, the pain slowly diminished until it disappeared.

Then, after another period of silence, Ye Xiaotian only felt a hand on his shoulder, and then, he felt that his body seemed to be in the air, and at the same time, he also felt that the air flow around his body seemed to be much faster.

This situation lasted for a short time, and then there was silence again.

Just as Ye Xiaotian was about to welcome the next change, the faint voice of the black shadow rang out, "Okay, now you can open your eyes!"

"Oh!" Ye Xiaotian answered, opened his eyes, and in an instant, he was completely stunned.

In the distance, you can hear strange birdsong, and even more, you can hear the cries of some wild beasts, which Ye Xiaotian has never heard in the periphery of the back mountain. As for the mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect Elder, he was standing not far away at this time, and his whole body was still shrouded in black qi!

Of course, these didn't make Ye Xiaotian stunned, he was surprised that this forest seemed a little strange, because according to Ye Xiaotian's memory, it should still be night time, but at this time in this forest, it was daylight.
