PS: Two chapters in one, 4,000 words. Good night~

The passage was deep and stretched far away.

Qin Cheng was a little vigilant in his heart, but judging from the performance of the tree root man before, there should be no ill will towards him.

Sure enough, along the way, there was no danger on the way.

When he reached the end of the passage, he found that he had entered a palace, which was full of the vicissitudes of time, and it was as if he had stepped into it as if he had traveled back hundreds of thousands of years along the river of time.

The space in the palace is not large, but it is full of extremely rich life force, the moment he stepped into the palace, he seemed to feel that the ubiquitous life force instantly filled every inch of his flesh and blood, making his whole life seem to be full of life.

However, after stepping into the palace, his attention was no longer on this rich life force, but on a formation in the middle of the palace.

In this formation, a green half-moon-shaped spar and a hazy primordial god were sealed, the image of a middle-aged man.

The moment this primordial god saw Qin Cheng, his eyes were full of excitement, and it was also this excitement that made his primordial spirit shake for a while, almost dissipating.

The primordial god hurriedly tried to calm himself, but his eyes were full of blazing light.

Looking at the fiery gaze of the Yuan Shen, Qin Cheng's heart suddenly became vigilant - he deduced that this Yuan Shen was the true identity of the tree root man!

Did he get himself here or why?

Is it to take his own body? Because he had heard that those powerful cultivators were able to use the Yuan Shen to take over the young body and gain a longer lifespan.

Could it be that I was so unlucky to meet one?

But no, if that's the case, why didn't he control the Tree Roots Man and catch him directly. Wouldn't that be more costly than losing the body of a tree root man and recovering his own flesh and then coming back again?

Just when Qin Cheng was suspicious in his heart and stood at the gate of the palace and didn't dare to walk forward, the Yuan Shen finally made a long sigh of relief.

"Alas!" Yuan Shen let out a long sigh, "It's been 200,000 years, it's been 200,000 years, and I'm almost unable to hold on." I didn't expect God to make me wait for the opportunity again!"

There is infinite emotion in the voice, which contains incomparably complex emotions.

Qin Cheng was even more vigilant in his heart, could it be that this primordial god really wanted to take his physical body?

However, at this moment, the primordial god seemed to see through Qin Cheng's inner thoughts, smiled kindly, and said, "I have no ill will towards you, let alone take your body." Time has brought my primordial spirit to the end of my life, if it weren't for this heart of life. I probably can't wait for you to be here, and it's useless to take your body now. ”

"Huh, the heart of life?" Qin Cheng's heart moved, and he looked at the half-moon-shaped spar.

"Hmm. It's the spar next to me. Yuan Shen glanced at the half-moon-shaped spar beside him, "Back then, I was supposed to die with Sect Master Xiao, but for the mission entrusted by Sect Master Xiao, my companion and I survived in the form of Yuan Shen and have been waiting...... Waiting for the day when hope will appear!"

"Sect Master Xiao?" Qin Cheng was a little puzzled.

Then. In the Liangyi Jade Space, Ao Cang, who was hiding under the pile of treasures, was like being struck by lightning. His body stiffened suddenly, and then he rushed out of the Liangyi Jade Space like crazy!

"!! to Yichang" Ao Cang exclaimed, staring at the primordial god.

The primordial god stiffened suddenly, then looked at Ao Cang with wide eyes, trembled violently, and then cracked several veins. Almost dissipated: "Ao ...... Ao Cang!"

"Steady, don't get excited!" Ao Cang hurriedly shouted.

The primordial spirit seemed to come back to its senses all of a sudden, and the trembling primordial spirit slowly calmed down, and the cracked veins gradually closed.

Then, invisible tears flowed from the eyes of the Yuan Shen called Xiang Yichang, and he laughed: "I can't think of it." I can't think of it...... I can't imagine that after 200,000 years, you and I can still meet!"

"I didn't expect it to be you here! I felt a powerful primordial spirit outside, and I was so frightened that I hid in the spatial spirit weapon and didn't dare to make any movement. I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect it to be you!" Ao Cang's eyes also shed tears, and his emotions seemed very excited.

Qin Cheng on the side looked stupid, this Yuan Shen turned out to be Ao Cang's contemporary? The Xiao Sect Master he said was Xiao Yan, so he was also a person from the Ethereal Immortal Sect back then.

"Why are you with this young man?" asked Xiang Yichang as he looked at Ao Cang.

Ao Cang said with great emotion: "Sure enough, it is already destined in the dark! Qin Cheng got the heart of the Mixed Yuan Ding Instrument and recognized the master, so I followed him, and what he cultivated was Brother Xiao Yan's "Great Yan Decision"!"

"Sect Master Xiao's "Great Yan Decision"?" Xiang Yichang looked at Qin Cheng with some excitement, envy and relief, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said repeatedly: "Good! good!"

"The sect master is in the spirit of heaven, there are no regrets!" Xiang Yichang's eyes shed tears again, and he said with great sighs.

At this time, the vigilance in Qin Cheng's heart had been exhausted, but his heart was full of doubts, but he left all the time to Ao Cang and Xiang Yichang, so that they could reminisce about the old acquaintances of 200,000 years ago.

"Yes, Qin Cheng's success in cultivating the Great Yan Decision is also the thing I am most happy about. Ao Cang said happily, and then asked, "You just said that you were entrusted by Brother Xiao to be for the heart of this life?

"Alas!" The joy on Xiang Yichang's face gradually faded, and a sad emotion emerged, and only after a sigh did he say quietly, and his gaze seemed to return to the scene of 200,000 years ago: "In that battle back then, the sect was shattered, the disciples died, and at the last moment, Sect Master Xiao shattered the mixed Yuan Ding and left you, and then dragged the injured body to save the Yuan Shen of me and Bian Tianrui." ”

"At this time, Sect Master Xiao has been seriously injured, but there is actually still hope of escaping. But...... If he escapes, then our Mixed Metaverse will be finished, and everyone in the Mixed Metaverse will forever become slaves of those people. ”

"Therefore, Sect Master Xiao gave up and fled. In fact, he should have made up his mind when the other party attacked. After all, he was the master of this realm, and before those people found the heart of the world in the mixed metaverse, he found the heart of the world in advance. Then he used the secret method to release all the power and life in an instant, split the heart of the world into two, and opened up many small worlds, so that Bian Tianrui and I each took half of the heart of the world and hid in two of the small worlds. Leave the entire Mixed Metaverse a chance to turn over in the future. ”

"You mean...... Brother Xiao could have lived?" Ao Cang's eyes turned red, and his whole body trembled.

"Hmm. Xiang Yichang nodded, "But for the sake of the Mixed Metaverse, he gambled his life without hesitation!"

"It's so stupid...... Brother Xiao, you are so stupid! Why are you so stupid!" Ao Cang cried and cried, "Didn't you tell me that it is better to die than to live? Didn't you tell me that as long as you live, you still have a chance? Didn't you tell me that you didn't have the strength to escape before you broke the ding? Why did you lie to me? Why are you so stupid? For a group of people you don't know, are you worth it? You are the top genius in all worlds, you have a brilliant future! Why do you ......?"

Ao Cang's sad and unwilling voice echoed in the palace. I almost want to cry blood.

Qin Cheng couldn't imagine the tragedy of that battle, but at this moment, he could think of Xiao Yan, who could have escaped for the sake of the future of the people of the world, and died peacefully!

Qin Cheng was infected by Ao Cang's sad emotions, and was also moved by the generosity of Xiao Yan's death imagined in his heart, an inexplicable emotion was permeating, and a stream of blood rushed from the bottom of his heart to his whole body. Let him tremble and burst into tears!

"Alas!" Xiang Yichang sighed and began to comfort Ao Cang.

Good for a while. Ao Cang's mood stabilized.

"This Heart of Life is half of the Heart of the World?" Ao Cang asked, pointing to the half-moon-shaped green spar in the formation.

"That's right!" nodded to Yi Chang, "If the heart of the world is complete, then it will be easily detected by those strong people. And after being separated by the sect master, it is difficult to detect unless he has the ability to defy the sky. After separation, the heart of the world remains within the Mixed Metaverse. It can still maintain the stability of the Mixed Metaverse, but the Mixed Metaverse will no longer give birth to the heart of the world. In this way, no one can fuse the heart of the world, and no one can dominate the Mixed Metaverse!"

"The sect master has designed a formation that can slow down the flow of time and reduce the loss of the primordial spirit, so let me and Bian Tianrui wait. Give the hearts of the two halves of the world to those who can believe in it, and reunite the two into one!"

"Can't fuse?" Ao Cang asked with a frown.

"Yes!" said to Yi Chang, "But the sect master said that before you get any half of the heart of the world, you have to swear not to enslave the Mixed Metaverse, not to interfere with the creatures below the True Immortal level in the Mixed Metaverse, and to release the heart of the world to freedom before breaking through the Immortal Monarch!"

"Freedom?!" Ao Cang frowned, "Wouldn't that be tantamount to suicide?!At least cultivation will also be lowered by a big level and lose most of his life!"

"Yes!" said to Yi Chang, and then looked at Qin Cheng.

Qin Cheng also understood at this time, the half-moon-shaped spar in front of him turned out to be half of the heart of the world, no wonder there was such a powerful life force.

Thinking that Fang Ruotong and the others used countless resources to find the heart of the world across the border actually appeared in front of him, and he could get it as long as he made an oath, which made him feel like he was dreaming.

"You...... Are you willing to swear?" Xiang Yi Chang opened his mouth and looked at Qin Cheng.

Ao Cang frowned tightly, and preemptively said before Qin Cheng spoke: "This is Brother Xiao's last life, I can't interfere, but ...... After all, Qin Cheng is the only heir of Brother Xiao, and if he really wants to release the heart of the world to freedom in the future, I am afraid it will ......"

"I know ......," Xiang Yi Chang said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for Sect Master Xiao's heir, I would force him to swear because I had no time." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Cheng at Yi Chang, and said with contradiction and struggle in his eyes: "But...... Although I don't want to go against Sect Master Xiao's wishes, I don't want to see Sect Master Xiao's inheritance cut off, the lesser of the two evils, you really don't want to ......"

"Needless to say, I swear!" Qin Cheng said in a resolute tone.

"Qin Cheng!" Ao Cang said hurriedly, "Do you know what the consequences are?"

"I know, but I can't disobey Master's last order!" Qin Cheng glanced at Ao Cang, raised his fist resolutely, and said: "I, Qin Cheng, swear that after obtaining the Heart of the World, I will not enslave the Mixed Yuan Realm, and I will not interfere with the living beings below the True Immortal Level in the Mixed Element Realm, and before breaking through the Immortal Monarch, I will release the Heart of the World to freedom!

"You ......" Ao Cang pointed at Qin Cheng angrily, "Fool! Fool! You masters and apprentices are all fools!"

Xiang Yichang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qin Cheng with admiration, and said, "That's good! I think Sect Master Xiao will definitely be even happier when he sees this scene and hears your oath, you have not only inherited his exercises, but also inherited his mind! Thank you, Qin Cheng!"

"You led me to understand the avenue of life and gave me the heart of life, I should thank you. Qin Cheng shook his head and said.

"No, I thank you! You have made me have no regrets, you don't know how I spent these 200,000 years, I have been spending these 200,000 years in anticipation and disappointment, and even despair, I think I will never be able to complete Sect Master Xiao's will again, but you have made me have no regrets in my heart, even more perfect than I expected! It is you who made my 200,000 years of waiting in vain, thank you!"

Xiang Yi Chang said and bowed to Qin Cheng, and then the crack on his primordial spirit suddenly began to crack again, and it was gradually increasing.

"Xiang Yichang!" Ao Cang shouted urgently, "Steady!

Qin Cheng also shouted anxiously: "Xiang senior, you hold on, I'll find a way to save you!"

"No need. It's the limit of what my Yuan Shen can survive until now, so next, you can fuse the heart of life. My mission is accomplished...... It's time to go, it's time to report the results to Sect Master Xiao...... Farewell...... Ao Cang, farewell, take care of Qin Cheng......"

Boom!

The silent explosion turned into a cloud of light towards Yi Chang's primordial spirit, and then slowly became dim, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Ao Cang began to cry again, crying profusely.

Qin Cheng's eyes were also full of tears again, he clenched his fists tightly, and then bowed deeply in the direction where the Yuan Shen of Xiang Yichang was just now: "Don't worry, Xiangsenior! I will definitely not disappoint you and Master's hard work and expectations!"

After a long time, Ao Cang's mood calmed down a little, but his eyes were a little straight, and he seemed to have a trace of consciousness immersed in sadness, and said, "I'll unseal the formation, and then you go in and fuse." ”

Qin Cheng nodded, waved his hand and took out a large number of spirit crystals, then cleaned up his emotions and concentrated on the formation and the heart of life. (To be continued......)
