Yuan Yi has never been as confused as he is at this moment.

And the strangeness of the feeling of confusion exacerbated his confusion.

As the crown prince of Shengyuan, he was in the spotlight from the moment he was born, with his own people seeing him as the future of the country and the Qin people as a great threat.

The heavy pressure forced Yuan Yi to remain vigilant at all times, and this vigilance guided him to keep moving forward.

Yuan Yi rarely has a time when he is overwhelmed, no matter what happens or what happens, he has enough clear judgment and confidence in the future.

Because he has the counseling of the world's first person behind him.

But now, the biggest pillar that underpins this belief has fallen on its own.

Yuan Yi was silent for a long time before he regained a clear thought in his mind, and then began to think.

After a long time, Yuan Yi tried to ask the question, "When trying to break the cognitive barrier, I have limited time and opportunities, right?"

Zhou Yu replied slowly: "Any exploration of the unknown carries great risks, especially when peeking into things that cannot be seen. ”

Yuan Yi nodded, and some clues were already connected in his mind.

Why did I lose my memory when I came to the top of the sky and played chess with my teacher for three days without worry?

Because during this time, the teacher actively blocked his perception in order to protect him.

The question then arises, why did the teacher let go of the protection at this time, because of his own strong demand, or did the external environment change?

At present, it should be both, and judging from the previous conversation, if it weren't for my strong request, the teacher would have kept me for a long time...... But does it make sense? Can I live in isolation from the rest of the world on the top of the firmament? If I can't, why not put myself back in the first place?

When he thought of this, Yuan Yi once again glanced at the black fog under his feet, and suddenly found a trace of dissonance: when he tried to carefully observe the changes in the shape of the black mist, he always felt that the scene shrouded in the black fog had become much more blurred......

Then Yuan Yi realized that it was not the scenery that became blurred, but the scenery returned to normal from an abnormally clear state!

It wasn't the first time Yuan Yi had stood on the top of the firmament, and he had experienced this feeling of condescending and looking down at everything at a very young age, but for him, this kind of ascending and looking at everything was nothing special.

He wasn't the steward of the Immortal Tree, and he wasn't even a powerful enough parasite, so even if he stood tall, he could only see far away, not clearly. In his eyes, all living beings are like countless gravel, with a macroscopic vision and a microscopic vision.

Only Zhou Yu has enough ability to stand on the highest place in the world and clearly fall his gaze to every corner...... And just now, Yuan Yi shared Zhou Yu's vision, so he was able to see the world at the same time, and also see the details of the scene.

He even had a clear view of the faces of the bickering politicians in Parliament!

Although the vision was only fleeting, Yuan Yi had already understood the true meaning of the countless chess games in the past three days - the teacher had ceded part of the management authority of the Immortal Tree to himself!

Only by relying on the ubiquitous immortal tree can we have this keen vision of both macro and micro!

After figuring out this section, Yuan Yi only felt that his thinking was suddenly clearer.

He bowed his head again, but no longer tried to observe the black mist, but instead did everything he could, using the abilities given to him by the Immortal Tree to observe the council. In an instant, every detail of the venue was in full view, and the black fog that shrouded the venue disappeared...... Even a brief blank in my mind appeared.

And so the conjecture was proven.

"Teacher, it turns out that the immortal tree also has drawbacks...... The so-called blind eyes turned out to be like this. ”

Zhou Yu smiled and did not respond. But this smile is already the best response.

Yuan Yi also understood the position of this first person in the world, and even further gained insight into the truth of the black mist.

This black mist originates from the Immortal Tree, which can be said to be the embodiment of the origin of the Immortal Tree, and because of this, Zhou Yu, who is most deeply combined with the Immortal Tree, is also the deepest blinded!

On the contrary, it is a half-hung administrator who has been temporarily promoted to observe it if he can maintain both the vision of a human being and an immortal tree at the same time!

So the next question is: what can be done if it is observed?

Judging from the emergence range of the black mist, there is black mist almost everywhere there are immortal trees, and if you want to eradicate the black fog, I am afraid it is equivalent to eradicating the immortal tree, and this is a fatal blow to the entire human demon civilization!

No, this idea has fallen into a misunderstanding from the beginning, why must the black fog be eradicated?

These black mist were obviously not born just now, since they are equivalent to the origin of the Immortal Tree, then it should be the moment the Immortal Tree exists, the black mist exists together...... But why hasn't anyone found out about it for the past 2,000 years?

Of course, it is also possible that someone found out but could not say it, or that the corresponding history was completely erased by the black fog - but that probability is not large.

The Immortal Tree is not a monster that covers the entire territory of civilization, and the Western Continent has always been a blank, not to mention that there is a forbidden land on the snow-capped mountains in the north. If there is really a serious historical vacancy in the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent will definitely record it.

But apparently there is no such record in any historical text.

In other words, it was because the Immortal Tree had encountered a special circumstance that had been extremely rare for two thousand years that it would trigger the state of black mist surging, and even the first person in the world had to retreat on the top of the firmament.

And the so-called special circumstances, you don't need to think about it, you know, it must be related to those guests from the Qin State.

After thinking about these questions, Yuan Yi let out a sigh and bowed to the teacher: "Then, I'll go find Bai Xiao and them." ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "Pay attention to safety." ”

——

At the same time, in Thunderstone City, Bai Xiao and the others had cleared all the obstacles in front of them and opened an unimpeded road.

Almost half of the people of the city have been mobilized to find the mysterious man named Mr. Kang.

That person is not only related to the previous thunder and fire burning city and a series of terrorist attacks, but the person who finds the clue can also receive a high reward from Bai Xiao.

If fear and hatred of terrorists alone were not enough, a large collection of gold, silver and jewellery was the necessary supplement.

And once the whole city is mobilized to work towards the same goal, the organization loses the opportunity to act, and there is even internal strife - many loyal believers who have been sent by the organization have quickly defected under Bai Xiao's money offensive, fully embodying the truth-seeking and pragmatic nature of human beings.

Bai Xiao himself is no longer interested in the changes in the city, and Mr. Kang is just a bait to disturb the enemy.

For a mature hunter, focusing on the prey is a necessary basic skill.

Bai Xiao knew very well that he was not here to eliminate harm for the people in the Shengyuan Empire - there was its own guardian here, and it was not the turn of others to act on their behalf.

I just came to explore the mystery of the ancients, once the mystery is solved, I don't have to be nostalgic for the scenery of Shengyuan, and go directly to the immortal tree to find Zhou Yu to cash out the remaining bet - to resurrect my mother Yingxue.

Then, take your mother to meet Bai Wuya and see how this amorous tribal leader has to deal with his dead wife who has reappeared in the world.

Bai Xiao was thinking nonsense, and under the guidance of the guide, he came to the entrance of the most prestigious mine outside Thunderstone City.

The tour guide is not very old, but he has already worn the badge that symbolizes the master of the Demon Dao, and it is none other than the famous young talent in Thunder Stone City, Wan Junzhu, the dean of Thunder Stone City.

It's just that this young talent, at this time, is showing a heartfelt tiredness, and the black hair that was originally meticulously groomed is also messy and gray.

He stopped in front of the door of the mine and sighed: "Several, further forward is the Thunderstone Mine, the terrain inside is intricate and ever-changing, and it is easy to get lost if you go rashly." This map of the Mining Association's backup at the Academy is a temporary loan from me for your reference. Note that areas marked in red are extremely risky...... But I think you're here for the red zone. ”

Lan Lan took the map with a smile: "It's quite smart, it's not uncommon for us to have places that aren't dangerous." ”

Wan Junzhu then stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottom of the map and said: "If you want to talk about danger, the most dangerous is the black area, that is, the 'unknowable' area. Unlike the Uncharted, the Black Zone is a special area that we have not been able to uncover at great expense, and all the explorers who have gone deep into it have not returned. ”

Qingyue asked, "In such a strange place, didn't the first person in the world make a move?"

Wan Junzhu smiled bitterly: "Although we have applied for support from the speaker of the council, we have never received a response. I think I'm afraid that no matter how powerful the speaker is, his energy is limited, and it is impossible to take care of every part of the country...... Or maybe the Speaker doesn't approve of our infinite digging into the mine, suggesting that we should be in awe of the great ground beneath our feet. ”

Qingyue frowned slightly: "This explanation is inevitably far-fetched. But thanks to Dean Wan for the map. Next ......"

Wan Junzhu arched his hand: "Next, I will go back as soon as possible to assist City Lord Ding and Master Ning in maintaining order in the city, I will not be able to accompany you deep into the cave." ”

"Where is it, we should thank Dean Wan for his great assistance during this time, but it is a pity that we should have done academic exchanges in Leishi Academy, which is also justified. But now it seems that the opportunity can only be left for later. ”

Wan Junzhu smiled, but it was a wry smile.

You gods, it's good to leave early, I really don't dare to leave you overnight in my own academy!

——

After sending Wan Junzhu away, Lan Lan restrained his smile and asked while looking at the map, "How do you feel?"

Qingyue said: "It's a little suspicious, but it doesn't matter. ”

"What about you?"

Bai Xiao didn't answer, but took two steps to the side, the black light in his hand flashed, and the bone spear stabbed directly into the void.

"Damn, admit defeat!"

After an unexpected cry of pain, a person fell out of the void, and that person staggered back, and a bloody hole was cut out of his hand, which was none other than Shengyuan's crown prince Yuan Yi!
