"Huh?"

Jiang Chen was helpless, packed up the things on the table, and was about to get up when the old man's voice came again.

"Boy, show the beads in your hand to the old man!"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a while, took out the bead again, and asked, "Senior, are you talking about this bead?" ”

I saw Jiang Chen's eyebrows flash, and a small flame suddenly appeared on the table, leaning next to the bead, the strange thing is that the flame did not emit temperature, and the bead was motionless.

Then the flame suddenly changed into the appearance of a little old man in a red robe, with three strands of beard, reached out and picked up the beads, and looked at them for a while.

Jiang Chen, who was taken back a few steps by the sudden change in the flame, swallowed his saliva and said in surprise: "Senior, is this what you look like?" ”

It didn't seem to hear Jiang Chen's words, and the red-robed old man said to himself: "Fate, fate!" You are both a human race and a qi refiner, so bow three times to this bead. ”

I don't know why, Jiang Chen only felt that since he met the old man in the red robe, listening to his tone, it seemed that he had been treating Jiang Chen with an elder attitude, and when he heard him let himself bow down towards the bead, he instinctively didn't want to resist, but obeyed the old man's instructions and respectfully bowed to the bead three times.

Then he got up and looked at the old man suspiciously, as if he wanted to seek a solution, only to hear the old man say slowly: "This pearl is called the world pearl, I heard that it is the ancient innate magic weapon Dinghai Zhu after it was broken, and it became a small world by itself, running on its own, containing the way of Zhou Tian, in ancient times, the people who got this pearl became the big people of the famous town, and then slowly became the treasure of your human race, which has been handed down until the time of the peerless heaven and earth, after the five emperors completed the blockade of the domain boundary passage with the help of this pearl, they disappeared, The pursuit was unsuccessful, and with the five emperors sitting down, there was no news of this pearl coming down, and today it actually came to your hands, it is really fate! You can't force it. ”

Hearing the old man's answer, Jiang Chen seemed to be puzzled, and continued to ask: "Senior, since this pearl is the treasure of my human race's inheritance and is so important, why did it disappear after the Five Emperors passed through heaven and earth?" ”

"Alas!"

The old man sighed heavily, shook his head and said: "When the Five Emperors used the power of the world in this bead to block the domain boundary in order to complete the great event of the peerless heaven and earth pass, they suffered from the rejection of the domain boundary channel and then had a big explosion, causing this bead to fall into the space crack and its whereabouts are unknown, and the reason why the domain realm can be blocked is also due to the power of the world of this pearl. ”

Hearing that the old man didn't seem to have anything to say, Jiang Chen, who was about to ask, was suddenly interrupted by the old man raising his hand.

"With your current strength, you can't protect this pearl at all, but with the help of this pearl, you are expected to become enlightened, and it is not in vain that the old man has waited for tens of thousands of years, and later the old man will pass on your method of opening this pearl, but whether you can get the recognition of this pearl after opening it depends on your chance."

The old man threw the bead to Jiang Chen, and then whispered an awkward spell in his mouth, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Chen's eyebrows, but for a moment, Jiang Chen had an extra spell in his mind and a way to open the world bead.

Jiang Chen still had doubts, and asked, "Senior, can't you use this bead when you open it?" What does it mean to be recognized? ”

The old man stroked his beard lightly, and said: "The World Bead is a world of its own, and it has already given birth to its own consciousness, although it has been refined by the elders of your human race, but this instinct still exists, if you don't get its approval, even if you have a spell to enter and exit, you can't enter and exit freely, let alone play the role of the World Bead." ”

seemed to realize that he still had something to add, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the World Bead recognizes that it does not look at cultivation, only in the personal fate, but if it is counterattacked, the light will be completely lost, and the heavy will be damaged and become an idiot, you kid will decide for yourself after thinking clearly, I will rest for a while, and don't disturb me if I have nothing to do." ”

After speaking, I saw the old man turn into a flame and fly into Jiang Chen's sea of knowledge again.

Jiang Chen picked up the beads, carefully inspected them again for a long time, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and thought secretly: "Although I don't know if what the old man said is true or false, if it is true, I can't grasp this opportunity to the sky, but I really missed the opportunity to become enlightened, but the danger is too great, who can guarantee that he can get the recognition of the world beads, if he loses, he will die." ”

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Chen seemed to have made up his mind, and thought: "The master once said that cultivation is to go against the sky, it takes indomitable courage, and opportunities are often accompanied by crises. If you can't improve your strength, wouldn't you live up to her trust, okay, I'll see what's so strange about this world bead. ”

Then Jiang Chen put the beads into the storage bag, entered the secret room, and began to bathe, change clothes, burn incense and pray, after almost half a day, he felt that his mood had slowly calmed down, Jiang Chen quickly burned two summons jade slips, and handed one of them to the little boy through the waiter here, Jiang Chen was also afraid that he would lose, so he prepared early.

The letter to the waiter just now only said that he was going to retreat for a few days, and if he hadn't been out of the retreat for three days, he would ask the little boy to come to him to receive his payment, and give him an identity token so that he could come in and out at that time.

And the one in the living room is a suicide note, and after his death, he can be regarded as finding a place to return to his relics.

After speaking, Jiang Chen took out the world bead again, placed it on his bed, and then meditated cross-legged, slowly calming his breathing.

I saw his hands closed, his index fingers standing side by side against the beads, and a spiritual aura shot on the beads, and then Jiang Chen's eyebrows frowned, his expression was slightly painful, and a drop of brilliant essence blood was forced out from between his fingers, and slowly fell on the beads, the streamer flashed slightly, and the essence blood disappeared, and then Jiang Chen recited an awkward spell in his mouth, and the beads flew up from the bed with the spell, hovering three inches from Jiang Chen's eyebrows.

The sudden change of the bead did not interrupt Jiang Chen, and he was still chanting the spell, but at this time, his fingers changed direction, pointing to the bead in mid-air, and continued to convey spiritual energy to it, in the process, Jiang Chen carefully controlled his divine consciousness to slowly approach the bead, and the moment his divine consciousness approached the bead.

There were bursts of golden light, and in an instant, the whole room was shrouded in golden light emitted by beads, fortunately, there was a formation blocking this place, otherwise the people outside would definitely know the strangeness of this place.

Jiang Chen only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, as if he had escaped into a chaotic world, constantly shaking, Jiang Chen didn't know his direction at all, let alone see ahead.

After shaking for a long time, Jiang Chen only felt that his head was about to explode, and he held on for a while, just when he couldn't hold on, suddenly his brain regained a piece of clarity, and a green grass was reflected in front of him, which made people feel refreshed.

However, before Jiang Chen was allowed to rest for a while, the picture changed again, turning into a volcano erupting everywhere, a purgatory scene, which made people's hearts shake.

Just like just now, it was only a few breaths, and the picture turned again, coming to a starry sky, Jiang Chen stood on a suspended boulder, looking up at Zhou Tian Xingdou.

After waiting for a long time, there was no picture transformation, Jiang Chen's heart was relieved, and at this moment, a voice came from all directions, and the voice filled the void: "Why are you here?" ”

Jiang Chen listened to this ethereal voice, as if there was a kind of magic that wanted to hook out his inner thoughts, and before he could think about it, he blurted out: "Come here to seek opportunities." ”

"By chance, but by fate, what is the fate of Taoist friends?"

The ethereal voice was like a machine, indifferently striking Jiang Chen's heart.

Jiang Chen seemed to be tortured by this voice, and he couldn't give birth to a trace of distracting thoughts in his heart, and he just wanted to say the deepest thing in his heart.

"I am willing to uphold the will of the ancient human race and inherit this opportunity."

"Hehehe! Chance is not determined by people, but by the number of days. ”

Jiang Chen's words caused the ethereal voice to burst into laughter, but when the laughter sounded, Jiang Chen's heart was slightly loosened, as if the shackles on his body had been loosened.

Hearing the ethereal voice talking about the number of days, Jiang Chen took a step forward and said loudly: "Although the number of days is fixed, I am willing to follow the ancient way, observe the sky, and create my own way." ”

As soon as Jiang Chen's words fell, the starry sky in front of him was like a screen peeling off inch by inch, a new sky appeared in front of him, stepping on the vibrant earth under his feet, a heavy sense of steadfastness came, Jiang Chen looked around, and found that this was a paradise-like world, with an extremely rich aura, and the naked eye could see the spiritual grass and flowers everywhere.

I was about to sigh: "The resources are so abundant!" ”

He saw a huge flame erupting from the edge of the mountain in the distance, although Jiang Chen couldn't see the scene that happened, but he opened the world bead, and he already had a certain perception of this world, and at this moment he already sensed that volcanoes, floods, and earthquakes were happening in this world.

Jiang Chen's feet began to shake violently, the earthquake caused the earth to crack one after another, the sudden collapse of mountains and rivers, the volcanic tsunami made him frantically want to find a place to hide, what entered this world was his real body, if something happened here, it was really dead.

As he ran, he shouted: "Senior, are you still there?" Why is this the case here? ”

The old man also seemed to feel the change, and a flash of horror flashed from Jiang Chen's eyebrows and said: "The World Bead has never had such a scene since ancient times, and even if there is, it is only on a small scale, and there is no such action to destroy all the creatures of heaven and earth. ”

The old man was also as puzzled as Jiang Chen, and finally climbed to a plain to take shelter temporarily, the old man suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "Hiss... Could it be that the power of this bead world is insufficient, you have activated the world bead this time, breaking the balance within it, if this continues, the world bead will become a dead realm. ”

Jiang Chen looked at the scene of the destruction of the world in front of him, and said with pity: "Then what should I do, I have to see that this world cannot destroy itself." ”

The old man sighed and said sadly: "If you have the power of the world, you can stop this situation immediately, but where to find the power of the world now, it is the old man's negligence." ”

Jiang Chen lost his soul and saw that he couldn't stop the destruction of this world, and was about to leave with a sigh: "Senior, it seems that I have no chance, let's go!" ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to recite the mantra to leave, but he was immediately interrupted by the old man: "For hundreds of thousands of years, as the inheritor of the torch of your human race, the old man should do the last thing for your human race today." ”

Before Jiang Chen could react, the old man turned into a flame and flew into the air, and suddenly there was a light that was ten thousand times more dazzling than before, and a feeling of the sun coming to the sky hit him, as if he was on the scorching sun.

The scorching sun of the old man paused in the air, and then flew into the sky, firmly rooted in the air, Jiang Chen was surprised, at a loss, he didn't know what to do at this moment, as time went by, the earthquake and volcano continued, and the flood was still devouring everything, but the place within a kilometer radius of the hill where Jiang Chen was located was calm and unaffected under the protection of the old man in the air.
