Holy Steps!

Judging from the history of the Roland Continent, there have been many, many strong human beings...... Perhaps, even before the age of mankind, in that mythical age when various races coexisted, the meaning of the word Holy Order, in itself, already represented a meaning: the peak of power that stood above all beings.

When a strong person's name is given the title of "Holy Order", it means that he or she has gained the power to surpass the vast majority of living beings in this world!

In every sense of the word, or in any way known to man, the Holy Order, for a long, long time, or from ancient times to the present day, was considered to be the highest peak that the living beings of this world could reach!

The meaning of the highest peak usually carries another meaning, that is: the end!

The limit has been reached, and it is impossible to continue further up - the end.

Therefore, when Bai Hechou used that kind of tone that was close to drifting, he said such a sentence lightly:

"Holy Order? I'm not anymore. ”

When this sentence fell into the ears of several people present, everyone's expressions changed! All the movements around him seemed to turn into silence in Bai Hechou's "declaration." On the top of the snow-capped mountains, the birds are silent......

Finally......

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Hahaha......" A wild laugh came out of the mouth of the jīng spirit king.

Luoxue's body was already stiff, but at this moment, there was an expression on his face that was almost out of control. He stared at Bai Hechou high above him, and his laughter was full of a kind of arrogance, a kind of questioning, a kind of ...... Unbelief!

"You're laughing. ”

Bai He looked at the jīng spirit king in the midst of the wild laughter, his tone was calm, as if describing a simple fact.

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Hehe...... Yes, yes, I'm laughing, I'm laughing. King Jīng's laughter finally calmed down, and he looked at Bai Hechou. There was mockery in his tone: "You are strong. Human, you are indeed strong! I have never been stronger! but...... Throughout my life, I have met many strong people, many of whom are arrogant. After all. After having super power, it will make people lose their hearts, make people lose their minds, and the feeling of transcending all beings will make people mistakenly think that they are really omnipotent-God?" jīng Lingwang gasped, but his voice became louder and louder, and in addition to the excitement, even the scar on his face was deliberately left. They were all bleeding non-stop: "But...... A mortal spirit is a mortal spirit! We're all just creatures in this world, no matter how strong we are...... But God is God after all. That's a class and a realm that mortal beings can never cross......! You defeated me, you are very strong. But because of that, your arrogance makes you feel that you have transcended the Holy Order, and what do you think you are? God?

Luoxue stared at Bai Hechou deadly, his eyes were like electricity, as if he wanted to see Bai Hechou waver.

However, he was disappointed.

Bai Hechou was still standing in front of him, looking down at the falling snow - it was this angle of looking down on the ground that made the falling snow feel very uncomfortable.

Then, he heard this strong man who defeated him, and asked himself in an indifferent tone, as if very casually:

"Oh, jīng spirit. So, do you know what God means?"

"Of course I do!!" Falling Snow was a little annoyed. As the king of the jīng spirit clan, there is no doubt about his worship and devotion to the gods, and the worship of the great jīng spirit god, the great god of the jīng spirit clan, is a kind of piety that has penetrated into the soul: "God is eternal! If everything in this world is born, flourishes, and finally destroys...... The only constant, then, is God, because God is eternal! God's power does not lie in its power or anything else, because it is already eternal!"

Bai Hechou listened and smiled lightly, and then he sighed, and looked at Luoxue in a regretful tone: "It's a pity...... Even though you are the second only existence in the world that I have met, it seems that you do not understand. In front of him, the moisture in the air was extracted, and the droplets gathered together, gathering together in the air, forming the appearance of a stream of water.

Bai He's face was calm, it was a kind of silent look, unfathomable. His fingertips fell gently, and the simulated flow of water, the water light flowed quietly, and even the slightest ripple was so real.

"Jīng Ling, do you know what a true god is?" Bai Hechou's voice came from the empty valley: "This world, this space, is like a flowing river. There are turbulences, reefs, turns...... And all living beings in this world are in this long river...... Like the fish in this river, they don't know anything, they just go with the direction of the river, and go with the flow...... But occasionally, among the fish, there will be one or two particularly strong big fish, they are stronger than other fish, they can barely jump, jump out of the water, you can see the appearance of the river, see that this is just a river, see what is in front of the river, and what has been experienced in the back...... When these strong fish see the world beyond the surface of the water, especially the direction ahead, where there is turbulence, where there are reefs, they know how to avoid evil, they know how to use what they know! They think they know the rules of the world, they think they know what the river is like...... In other words, they are the so-called holy orders. ”

When Du Wei heard this, his heart moved, as if he was thinking. And Chishui was broken, after listening. There seems to be a change in the face as well. Although Luo Xue still had a sneer on her face, after hearing this, she unconsciously changed the expression on her face to a thoughtful look.

I heard Bai Hechou's voice gently echoing in everyone's ears: "...... But despite this, these big fish, they are stronger than other fish, they can jump out of the water, but only for a moment, and what they see, is very limited—very limited. So. Although they know a little more than other fish, even though they are much stronger than other fish...... But they're still just fish! This is the Holy Order. ”

There was a pause. Bai He said sadly: "Of course." Among the holy steps, there is also a difference between strength and weakness. For example, you ...... Some fish jumped out of the water, and only a little bit in front of them could be seen. But you have more strength, jump higher, jump longer, and see farther...... There will be a difference, but ...... In fact, such a difference is not big. He glanced at Chishui and Luoxue.

This look seems to be silently speaking: the two of you. It's just a little stronger. It's just a fish jumping out of the water.

Involuntarily, Luo Xue suddenly asked softly: "So, what about above the Holy Steps?" "On the Holy Steps?" Bai He smiled sadly. The smile on the corner of his mouth was so peaceful: "That's what you call the god of the earth."

Unconsciously, everyone quieted down, quietly listening to what Bai Hechou, this peerless powerhouse, said.

"If this space is a river, the strong of the Holy Rank is just a relatively strong existence among the fish...... Then the so-called gods are the great river itself...... No, rather, some more powerful beings, more powerful than the fish know. Because of these gods, they can change the river at will, they can change it at will! Front, back, past, future! The so-called holy level powerhouses, even if they can jump out of the water and see the trajectory of the future ahead -- but so what? In the position of the gods, the gods can change the direction of this great river at will, they can add a turn at will, increase or decrease some turbulence, reefs...... In other words, they can create and change rules at will, and when they do that, they are called gods. Unlike the fish that jump out of the water, the strong fish can only see a limited number of things, but the gods, not only can see, they also control them!"

"From ancient times to the present, the legends of the Holy Rank powerhouses have been given a very interesting title: the existence closest to God. Right?" Bai He smiled sadly, looking at the few people with different faces in front of him, and then, he sighed softly, and in an inscrutable tone, he smiled softly: "...... The closest thing to God...... What a subtle word, close, close! However, only when we truly see all this clearly, will we understand how far away this so-called proximity is! It is precisely because of this huge difference that even if the Holy Rank is considered to be the closest to the existence of God, since ancient times, we have never heard of a certain Holy Rank powerhouse truly surpassing God! Because the Holy Rank powerhouse only sees the rules, while the gods are truly in control. ”

Bai Hechou's gaze flowed, sweeping over Chishui Duan and Jīng Ling: "You, you, are just a strong fish in this long river, you think this is already the peak of strength, the highest, and the end...... However, I didn't know that this was still far from it. ”

Finally, Chi Shui couldn't help but ask: "Bai Hechou, what about you! Aren't you a fish in this river?"

"I? I was. Bai Hechou looked at the crowd with a calm face, and said:

"It's just that now I'm on the shore. "That's why I said you were wrong, that you didn't understand...... That's because your knowledge of God is not something you realize, but something that someone else tells you! God tells you! God tells mankind that he is the strongest, that he is everything, that he is the peak, that he is inviolable, that he is ...... Eternity?!hum...... How ridiculous!

God is not eternal...... But humans think so. That's because all souls are too small. For example, the life of the summer insect is short, so for the summer insect, its life is only one summer, so in its eyes, even if it is a bird that can only live for a few years. But in the eyes of birds, horses that can live for more than ten or even twenty years are eternal. But in the eyes of the horse, human beings can live for decades or even a hundred years...... Then maybe the horse will think that human beings are eternal. And what about humans?"

Actually, there is no such thing as eternity, and what you think is eternal is only because you can't see it! Perhaps God is much stronger than humans. There is a lot of longevity, but God is not eternal. ”

When Du Wei heard this, he suddenly had a feeling that was almost ridiculous in his heart!

Damn! Bai Hechou, this super perverted strongman. actually came up with a set of "dialectical materialism"?!

"The Holy Order is not the end of everything. Bai Hechou stretched out his finger. A flame appeared in his fingertips, the light of which was first red, then blue, and finally the flame, which should have been hot, became light and elegant, faintly, and the light of the fire became ...... Water!

Burning water?!

Such a strange scene made Chishui and Luoxue and others hold their breath.

It's not some kind of magic conjugation, it's not an illusion. It's real burning water!

Water - Flame?

"That's the rule!" Chi Shui Xuan smiled lightly: "The real rule! It is not a use of land...... It's about real control. Complete control!

Within my power, all the rules are created by me. Change by me, follow my will! Ice can be hot and fire can be cold if I want to, within my power!!Everything can be changed, everything can be created...... In this place, I call Bai He a sad smile, and his eyes really look almost like gods!

"I call it ...... In my realm, I am God!"

Deathly silence!

The unruly Chishui Break, the proud and noble Jīng Spirit King, at this moment, the faces of both of them are like dead ashes!

Even if he already knows that he is far inferior to Bai He's sorrowful Chishui Break. Even if he had just lost to Bai Hechou's falling snow, there was a faint thought in his heart: Although the other party is strong, he can still look up to him! Even if he is so strong that he is "out of reach", in the final analysis, he can still see the other party's distant back......

But now, the two finally understand it completely......

Bai Hechou, this powerful guy, has completely entered another level! It is a new level that I am afraid I will never be able to touch in my life!

At this moment, the feeling of despair spread powerlessly in the hearts of the two.

Only Du Wei, who stood there quietly with a calm face.

Only he knew when he saw the little watery flame on the fingertips of Bai Hechou's hand, and when he listened to Bai Hechou say the word "realm" from his mouth.

It seems that there is an ethereal feeling that is difficult to grasp, but it is so real, passing through my heart.

This feeling, déjà vu!! Bai Hechou turned around and slowly walked to the top of the high steps: "Remember my words...... I could have killed you today. If it had been in the past, I would have killed you. But now, you are the strongest being I have ever seen in this world. I hope the next time I see you, you'll be worthy of my shot!"

I hope you're worthy of me next time......

This sentence deeply stimulated the heart of the jīng spirit king. A strange brilliance flashed across his beautiful face, and he suddenly let out a soft breath and threw the broken silver thread he was holding in his hand to the ground.

Then, the proud jīng spirit king turned his face away, without saying a word, turned his head and walked along the six hundred and fifty steps of the three days, and left quickly.

Looking at the departing back of the jīng spirit king, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Hechou's mouth. Then he turned his head and looked at Chi Shui Duan and Du Wei: "Okay, the outsiders have left." Now, it's time to settle our own affairs, right, break?"

Chishui Broken God sè complex. Looking at Bai Hechou stupidly, for a long time, he suddenly sighed and shook his head: "I gave up." ”

In this sentence, Du Wei could hear what kind of despair and discouragement it contained.

can make the holy rank powerhouse Chishui break, and make such a tenacious guy feel unmatched, I'm afraid that only Bai He is worried.

Chi Shui hung his head and pondered for a moment, when he raised his head. Shen Sè has calmed down a lot: "Sorrow, I know that I can't be your opponent in this life...... I thought you were ahead of me, but I didn't necessarily have a chance to catch up with you. But now I realize that I was so wrong......" He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I came up the mountain this time, and I originally had two things to do. First things first. It's for Du Wei, a kid, to bring you a word. These words are the last words left to you by our teacher Guranhei decades ago. ”

As he spoke, Chi Shui glanced at Du Wei.

Du Wei nodded, and immediately told everything he knew about Qulanxiu. He was brief, but he said what he had to say. Bai Hechou listened quietly, and when he heard the phrase "no regrets", Bai Hechou nodded.

No one can see clearly the change in his gods.

"Thank you. Bai Hechou's voice sounded as calm as an ancient well: "Then." The second thing?"

"I'm going up the hill this time. I didn't plan to live any longer. Chi Shui said slowly: "Even if I don't live for revenge anymore, I want to live for myself......!" I want to know what secrets are hidden behind the snowy mountains!"

Bai He listened to it sadly. He quietly looked at Chishui for a while, and then he seemed to ask in a low voice in a gentle tone, "Beauty under the moon, you brought it?"

It was Du Wei who answered, and Du Wei quickly took out the sword of the beauty under the moon, and he smiled: "Although I didn't come here for this, I originally just wanted to come here, please help me drive away that dead lady." But it seems that I haven't begged you yet, so you did it first. So ......"

Before Du Wei finished speaking, Bai Hechou had already turned around and walked back, and as he walked, he gently threw over a sentence: "Come with me - the three of you together." "The square, past the throne of the Witch King, which has turned to powder, and all the way back, there is another mountain path.

On the top of the snow-capped mountain, about a few hundred meters away, there is a lone snow bee, standing there alone.

Connecting this square with the snow bee in the distance is a mountain road about one person wide, which is a naturally formed bridge between the two peaks, and looking down, under the abyss, is a large area of ice

This is not the first time Du Wei has seen a glacier, and under his feet, the face of the glacier, in the crystal, glows with a green sè, like a large piece of natural jade. And the area of this glacier is much larger than expected.

After walking this ice bridge, I came to the top of this lonely peak.

It's a much smaller area than any of the places we've ever walked before. The mountain in front of you is a secluded cold cave.

Looking inside this cave from the outside, I only felt a ball of crystal ice flickering, and standing at the entrance of the cave, I could feel that there was a chill coming from inside! Just standing at the entrance of the cave so casually, it was as if I felt that my blood was about to be frozen by this cold air!

"What the hell is this place!How is it so much colder than outside?!" Du Wei was a little surprised.

"This is where I practice all year round. Bai Hechou seemed to smile, and his smile finally showed a trace of bitterness: "Du Wei, you also know that the curse I have in me makes my [**] age rapidly. But only here, the extreme cold can stop the curse on me. My body can't be too far away from this cold cave......"

Du Wei opened his mouth: "You're already so strong, can't you break that curse?"

It seems that when facing Du Wei, Bai Hechou's body will reveal some people's mood fluctuations, and he smiled: "If I can leave the top of this snowy mountain, I can't come up just now." I'll just go down and deal with that jīng spirit. ”

At this time, Bai Hechou suddenly stretched out a hand - even when he was fighting with the falling snow just now, Bai Hechou seemed to hide his right hand behind him and shrink it in his sleeve from beginning to end.

When he stretched out this hand, to Du Wei's surprise, the bare part of the arm. The fingers, the palms, the wrists, and the arms are all completely withered! Like dry branches, bloodless and lusterless, like corpses that have been dried for thousands of years!

Looking at this hand, Qiao Qiao, who was standing behind Du Wei, couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

And the white river is worried. Just smiling lightly, he stepped into the cave, and the cold air around him was immediately sucked by his body. Du Wei could even see it clearly. A hint of cold. was inhaled into his mouth and nose by Bai Hechou, and there was a trace of coldness, which penetrated into Bai Hechou's body along the sweat and hairs of his exposed skin.

Then, miraculously, Bai Hechou's withered arm suddenly swelled up, and the arm, which was originally like a withered corpse, was rejuvenated. The luster becomes moisturized. Flesh and blood are plump......

"I think you've probably heard of it, even if it's compared to the previous Witch Kings of the Great Snow Mountain. My deep dwelling is simpler, and I am more powerful than the previous witch kings...... Here's why. Bai He's sorrowful smile carried a faint complicated taste: "Because of me, I can't leave this cave too far, and if I leave for a while, I must come back." Otherwise, my body will wither very quickly!"

"But you've already surpassed the Holy Order...... You also have a domain where you can change the rules at will!" Du Wei couldn't help but say.

"That's why I haven't given up!" Bai He's sorrowful voice suddenly surged with tenacity and pride: "Because, the curse of the person who founded the Great Snow Mountain in the first place, the power of the regular land is even stronger than that of me now! So, unless my strength has surpassed that of the founder of the Great Snow Mountain, otherwise, I can't break this curse." ”

Speaking of this, ignoring the surprised expressions of the three of them, Bai Hechou had already walked into the cave first: "Come in, break, the answer to what you ask for is in this cave! I defeated our teacher, and inherited the one of this snow-capped mountain from his hands, and also inherited this cave! Du Wei, do you know? This cave belonged to our teacher in the past, Gu Lanxiu!"

As he spoke, he seemed to smile softly: "Be careful, it's a little cold in here." ”

No need to be reminded by Bai Hechou.

At least when Du Wei and Qiao Qiao walked into the cave, they immediately felt that they were wrapped in a pervasive cold! Despite the thick leather jackets, Du Wei and Qiao Qiao were not weak, but even though the two of them had tried their best to resist, they still felt that strong cold air easily penetrated into the thick leather jacket, and struggled into their bodies from every sweat pore of their bodies!

In just one breath, Du Wei felt as if he had frozen, and when he glanced at Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao's pretty face had turned green!

Chi Shui Duan saw the appearance of the two of them, this originally fierce villain, but he actually took a step, stretched out his arms, and put one hand around Du Wei's shoulder, and soon, the powerful power of the Holy Rank powerhouse supported a warm space within the range of the three of them.

Du Wei immediately cast a grateful look, but Chi Shui Xuan didn't look at him at all, but asked Bai Hechou who was walking in front: "What is in this cave? Could it be that the Great Snow Mountain has been buried for generations...... Treasure?"

"Treasure? No, you're wrong, break. Bai Hechou's voice came from the front: "There is no treasure here, but ...... A seal! an ancient seal. ”

Seal?

This word can indeed be associated with a lot.

"What is sealed?" asked Du Wei immediately.

"I don't know the answer. Bai Hechou's voice was a little strange: "But I only know one thing: the existence of the Great Snow Mountain may have something to do with this seal! In fact, I have always had a feeling that the existence of those of us on the Snow Mountain may have been taking on another mission. ”

"What mission?"

"Two possibilities. First, we are responsible for guarding this place and not allowing anyone from outside to open the seal here. Bai He said lightly: "As for the second type...... There's something terrible sealed here. And the mission of the existence of our people on the snow mountain is to prevent the things that are sealed inside from coming out!"

Du Wei suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, and he didn't know if it was because of hearing this, or because of the cold.

At this moment, Bai Hechou stopped, he turned around, and said with a smile: "We have arrived...... Now, bring the beauty under the moon. ”

Behind him, there is a wall of ice!

Standing in front of this ice wall, above the wall, there was a faint flow of light, Du Wei only glanced at the wall, and suddenly felt as if he had seen something...... No, or rather, a picture?

On the wall, it seems that a pair of eyes have been transformed!

Those eyes made people indulge in them instantly, and Du Wei didn't even see the face of these eyes clearly, so he forgot everything.

He tried to see, and finally, he saw clearly.

On top of the ice wall, there was a person in those eyes:

It's yourself!
