Chapter 577: Twelve

Wei Tao is fast, constantly traveling through the long river of time and space. The surrounding waves sparkled, leaving a vague trail behind him.

It's like a fish swimming beneath the surface of the water, and there will be ripples wherever it passes. Soon after, Wei Tao was far away from the Mark of the Overseer.

He slowed down and glanced back behind him. His eyes fell on the depths of the sparkling waves, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although the ripples in the distance have completely disappeared. On closer inspection, there seems to be no trace left.

But since the Overseer's Imperial Boat has sailed and passed an unknown amount of time, it can still leave a faint mark, which means that what he thought he thought was completely gone, and perhaps it was not really that he could no longer perceive it.

If the Overseer had special means of detection, he would never have been able to reach a safe area, even if he had already escaped this far.

Wei Tao thought silently, the name of the Overseer lingered in his heart, and then he felt the throbbing rising from the bottom of his heart, and a certain thought was about to come out at this time, until he broke through the fog and occupied all his thoughts.

The Ye Bian boat, as well as the people who traveled by boat, left marks in the long river of time and space, and it was very likely that they were the other pair used by the Overseers to patrol

"Eyes". Or, to put it another way, the sigil is the line that the Overseer leaves behind in the long river of planes, waiting for the fish that has crossed the line to pass by, and then can follow the trail to catch it.

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Tao immediately picked up speed again and swam farther away. It is even necessary to avoid the area where they first came, lest the Overseer follow the trail and bring unforeseen danger to the True Realm.

And in the process, the status bar resurfaces. The exercise interface, after continuous improvement, the Hongmeng Dao body has reached the realm of perfection.

Name: Hongmeng Daoti. Progress: 70 percent. Condition: Perfect. Description: The beginning of Hongmeng, the foundation of Qiankun.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of Hongmeng Dao Body cultivation." Wei Tao touched his stomach, which was no longer swollen, and felt the speed of life passing under the long river of time and space, and after thinking silently for a long time, he did not continue after all.

。 The cultivation of the Hongmeng Dao body has consumed the body to an almost terrifying extent. In particular, as the progress continues to improve, the resources required have increased explosively.

For example, not long ago, he only increased the progress of the Hongmeng Dao Body from sixty to seventy, and he converted most of the energy consumption of the Outer Demon Jin Fairy and the Lord of the Universe Ji Luo.

And the remaining small part must be kept to cope with the washing of time, and it cannot be used casually.

Therefore, although he was faced with the possible pursuit of the Overseer, before the next supply, Wei Tao had no choice but to temporarily stop his cultivation and improvement, and instead ran away while looking for prey that could be hunted.

Whether it is an external demon or a Huanyu, as long as it is something that can be eaten, he will not refuse to come. The long river of time and space flows slowly, and time washes over everything like water.

All the creatures wandering in the river are exchanging the thickness of their lives for the time scale, until the body is broken and the spirit is gone, and everything will be zeroed in an instant.

Even at Wei Tao's high level, he obviously felt a little uncomfortable. Little by little, time passed. I don't know how long later, Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction in front of the left.

The sparkling waves there seem to be a little different from other places. There was also a mouth-watering breath of energy that quietly overflowed from that place.

"There is no force of silence, not the mark left by the Overseer."

"Therefore, there are either hidden outer demons there, or a universe has revealed traces in the long river of time and space." Wei Tao had a thought in his heart, and immediately changed his direction and accelerated towards the past.

…………………………………… Dark void, peaceful silence. A streamer of light was silently passing through it.

This is a middle-aged man in a high-crowned boxing suit. He skimmed through one realm after another, not stopping.

It wasn't until he saw a sea of fire burning out of thin air in the distance that he showed a thoughtful expression and slowly stopped at the edge.

"The concubine doesn't know that the Dragon Imperial Venerable is here in person, and I hope to forgive me if I miss the distance." With a soft female voice, the red gold flame slowly parted in front of the middle-aged man, revealing a large hall full of golden body in the depths.

The door of the temple slowly opened, and a beautiful woman in palace clothes walked out of it. With her appearance, flames burst forth, scorching the void into twists and distortions.

"Venerable Qiyan is polite." The middle-aged man smiled and bowed his head slightly,

"Time is like water, passing quietly, I can't imagine that since the last meeting, Venerable Qiyan's cultivation realm has been greatly improved, and I am afraid that it is only one step away from the twelve guardian saints." The woman in the palace costume was silent for a long time, but she sighed and shook her head.

"The Dragon Emperor Venerable said with a smile, when we reach the level where you and I are, it seems that there is only one floor behind the height of the Twelve Guardian Lords, but this floor is straight into the sky, no matter how hard we try, we can only stand downstairs and look up. What's more, the Great Guardian once said that there are twelve Celestial Thrones, and since the one who broke the barrier and achieved the Holy Body a thousand years ago, everything has become a certainty, and no matter how hard we practice, we have lost the opportunity to become holy. But this is not bad, the twelve holy guardians are divided into the four corners of the universe, and the hardships and hardships are beyond our imagination, even if we can only cultivate and improve step by step under their protection, how can we have other thoughts that should not appear? After a pause, she continued,

"I've talked so much, but I don't know why the Dragon Imperial Venerable came to look for me?"

"It's not a big deal for me to come this time." The middle-aged man said,

"It's just that I was asked by Venerable Guangyuan to invite Qiyan Daoist friends to come over for a banquet."

"To a feast?" Qi Yan was slightly stunned, and suddenly caused a large area of golden flames to roll and surge, spreading and rising in all directions.

After a moment, she suddenly showed a sudden expression,

"Is it the Holy Fruit of Time planted by Venerable Guangyuan in honor of the Great Guardian's Divine Oracle, and it is time to ripen again?"

"What Daoist Qiyan said is extremely true, at this time, it has been a hundred years since we last met, and it is time to meet again." She was silent for a long time, and then sighed faintly,

"Time flies, time flies, I can't imagine that decades have passed since I retreated......"

"Huh?"

"It's a strange feeling, but I've never felt it before." Qi Yan was halfway through his words, and he was silent without warning.

She looked puzzled as her gaze passed through the surging red gold flames and looked into the farther dark void.

"Does the Dragon Imperial Venerable feel that someone seems to be secretly watching and peeping at us?" As a result, before the other party could answer, she squinted her eyes sharply and murmured in an almost dreamlike tone,

"I saw it, it was a pair of eyes, huge eyes that almost covered the dark void." Although he has already cultivated to the realm of Venerable.

Except for the Twelve Guardian Saints, they definitely stood at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm and hundreds of millions of living beings. But at this moment, neither Qiyan nor Long Yu had any intention of going to find out.

It was really because of the appearance of those eyes that the pressure on them was too great, even more than a certain guardian saint they faced at the beginning.

Feeling the gaze that seemed to come from outside the void, the two of them subconsciously stepped back, and inexplicably gave birth to a terrible feeling of chills all over their bodies.

Little by little, time passed. But they are oblivious to the passage of time. I only know that no matter how far I retreat, it seems that I can't escape the gaze of those eyes.

It had been lying in the depths of the dark void, staring at it without any emotion, like an indescribable giant, looking through the mouth of a bottle.

They even want to open the tightly closed cap and put their hands in from outside the bottle. Suddenly, a ripple quietly spread.

There was also a soft sound, lingering in the ears of the two. A pale arm crept in. It's like pushing open a door and coming here silently.

Qi Yan and Long Yu snapped back to their senses and turned their heads to look there at the same time. At a glance, the two of them, who were originally shrouded in endless fear, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and even their stirring thoughts were instantly soothed.

"I've seen the Patron Saints." They bowed in unison and saluted with great respect. A young woman from

Walk out "behind the door". She bowed her head slightly, and did not speak, but looked directly up at the dark void, her gaze falling on the center of the illusory eyes that were getting clearer and closer.

"When did these eyes appear?" After a moment, the Guardian Saint spoke slowly, in a flat and gentle tone.

"The words of the Returning Saint, about a quarter of an hour ago, the junior was talking to Qiyan, and it appeared without warning at this time."

"Did it appear a quarter of an hour ago?" The guardian frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly,

"There's nothing for you here, just do what you have to do, and don't stay here and get in the way of me casting spells." The two of them bowed their heads, without any signs of dissatisfaction.

There is no reserve and arrogance in front of other practitioners, there is only incomparable respect and humility.

After the two left, the young woman moved lightly, and in an instant appeared in front of her illusory eyes. Those eyes seemed to see her, too, and a sudden light lit up in their eyes.

It's like a hungry tiger that sees a tender and delicious lamb. The young woman let out a faint sigh, and her hands slowly formed a magic seal in front of her.

In an instant, a brilliant light rose, illuminating the endless dark void in an instant. At the same time, the glow lit up in unison in all other directions.

A total of twelve rays of light joined together and finally merged into one place. An ethereal figure that spans the void is conjured, like a supreme miracle that manifests the entire universe.

Rumble!!! The Dark Void vibrates violently. The space shattered inch by inch, erupting with terrifying repulsive power. In an instant, those illusory eyes were covered.

Boom!!! As if receiving a head-on blow, Wei Tao leaned back sharply, slightly away from the looming barrier in front of him.

"The closer you get here, the more you feel the power of rejection."

"It's kind of interesting, but it's not much." He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes flashing with impatient excitement, and he slowly clenched his fingers into a fist and raised his palm.

But in the next moment, Wei Tao released his fist again and turned his head to look at the sparkling waves beside him.

"Because Your Excellency's strength level is too strong, you will naturally be rejected by the entire universe, which is also a fact that the old man has verified many times." An illusory figure quietly appeared, bowing slowly to him.

This is an old man with white hair, and his appearance is exactly the same as that of the ethereal figure that stretches across the void of the universe.

Wei Tao's throat surged subconsciously, but a gentle smile appeared on his face,

"You're interesting, and a lot."

"Just now, I saw twelve cultivators through the barrier, and I thought they were the twelve guardian saints in the mouths of those two little guys. As a result, after meeting you, I found that there are a total of twelve so-called Universal Holy Thrones, but in fact, you are the only one. The old man's face moved slightly, and then he sighed in a low voice,

"Your Excellency's eyes are like torches, and you can see my roots at a glance, which is really admired by the old man." Speaking of this, he sighed secretly again,

"But if it weren't for that, I would have crossed that dangerous line long ago, drawing the watchful eye of the Overseers to mark it, rain down a catastrophe, and potentially destroy the entire universe. Therefore, the old decay has no choice but to cut and separate itself and turn it into a school of fish, so as to lower the individual cultivation realm, and it can be regarded as avoiding the sight of the Eye of the Overseer. ”

"Turning into a school of fish is quite an interesting metaphor." Wei Tao's eyes flashed, and he asked with interest,

"What do you know, and what kind of cultivation path is this, you can tell me in detail." The old man was silent for a moment, thought about it and said slowly,

"The long river of time and space flows endlessly, and all kinds of creatures are fish swimming in the river, drifting with the flow and not knowing where they will go, and finally they can only end their lives in ignorance. And when the group of cultivators appears, they have more power than ordinary beings, and they will naturally stand taller and see farther after passing them down from generation to generation. In particular, those who are amazing and blessed may be able to briefly jump out of the water and try to see what is ahead, taking the opportunity to avoid the many rapids and reefs in the current, and let themselves swim further. ”

"Later, in order to fight the dangers of time and space, different fish took different paths, and some tried to make their bodies stronger, even if they were swept into the torrent and collided by the reef, they could survive with their hard bodies."

"Some have learned to control the flow of water around them, and they have tried to create a safe area for themselves, or they can also be seen as small boats sailing in the river, as long as the boat does not capsize, there is no danger of destruction itself."

Others take a different approach, splitting themselves into more, from a fish to a school of fish, so that even if a large number of individuals die, as long as they do not die in a short period of time, they will not fall into a real crisis. It's just that this cultivation path is a mixed bag, and the advantage is that as long as there are enough points, the individual strength will never touch the dangerous boundary, and naturally it will not attract the eyes of the overseers. But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, once separated, it is almost equivalent to self-blocking of further thoughts, and it is even more difficult to break through the boundaries and climb up. If you are unlucky and are approached by an external demon, you will end up even more miserable than the arrival of the Overseer. When the old man said this, he couldn't help but sigh faintly,

"But from ancient times to the present, the old man has never heard of anyone who can really get out of the water, just like a swimming fish has grown wings that can fly, and can truly fly freely beyond the long river of time and space. Since then, there is no need to worry about being torn apart and swallowed by the passing waters, nor will there be any worries about being cleaned and captured by the patrolling overseers. ”

"Cut yourself, lower your cultivation, and avoid the eyes of the Overseers, so you will unload yourself in twelve pieces in one go?" Wei Tao paused, and when he spoke again, he was inexplicably emotional,

"Twelve great cultivators who are only one line away from the Lord of the Universe, and they are at their peak without injury or illness, even for me, I need to take it seriously, I don't know if I can finish it in one go."

"Your Excellency said with a smile, where does the old man have that ability, but it has been since the first time he was about to break through the dangerous boundary, and it has gone through an unknown number of years before it has become the current situation." The old man stretched out an arm as he spoke, and in the center of the unfolded illusory palm, several crystal clear fruits shone brightly.

"Your Excellency has come from afar, and I am the master of this room, and I should have received the wind and washed the dust and set up a banquet to entertain you, but now there is a little problem in the universe, but it is a little inconvenient for Your Excellency to enter and rest. This is a few holy fruits that have condensed the essence of the universe, and they are the only things that can be used by the old decay, which can relieve fatigue and replenish vitality, I hope your Excellency will not dislike it. "Boom!

!! Wei Tao's throat surged again, and after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head. He rubbed his sharp fingers and claws, and a brilliant fire erupted, even disrupting the shimmering waves.

"What do you mean?" Seeing this, the old man's face couldn't help but change again, and his tone became more and more cautious when he spoke.

"I mean it very simply, I thought you could see it clearly, but I had to say it regardless of my status." Wei Tao pointed to the barrier not far away, and the hideous claws burst into flames again,

"Your sincerity is not enough for me to leave satisfied."
