Star Trace Gate

Chapter 810: All People in the World, Purple Air Comes from the East

The pace of time moves forward silently, but life is definitely not a rapid journey day and night. Occasionally, you need to stop, look back at the past, appreciate the scenery along the way, stop and rest.

Time flies, spring goes and autumn comes.

In the ominous mirror, Ren Ye waited for four years and five months.

He and Little Bit had gone through many hardships and finally walked through most of the imperial road, but they were blocked by two incarnations of gods. Unable to move forward, but unwilling to retreat, they could only wait for the final "opportunity" to come as time passed.

He didn't know when that opportunity would appear, and he didn't know whether it would help him overcome the current hurdle if it appeared.

The only thing he knew was that his close friends were trustworthy and that they had a tacit understanding that did not require much words.

After Qingning was promoted, Li Yan took her back to Qingliang Mansion, originally intending to hold a "return from study" gathering for relatives and friends. But unexpectedly, after they entered Qingliang Mansion, they did not see Ren Ye, and learned from Brother Huang that King Huai had brought a group of friends to Jiuli Continent to seek an opportunity at the Emperor's Tomb.

Li Yan wanted to catch up with the Little Bad King to travel together, but after asking around, he found out that the tomb of the Jiuli Emperor had been opened, and the descendant of the ancient emperor had caused a scene at the Tianjiao gathering, causing several Jiuli sects to hunt him down.

If it was Old Liu who heard about this, he would definitely find a way to enter Jiuli immediately, and then go there with a knife in hand without wasting a moment; if it was the little singer who heard this news, he would definitely consult with his many male friends and try to resolve the desperate situation on the bed...

But Brother Wolf, who is calm by nature and comes from a family of unscrupulous businessmen, has a completely different style of doing things from these two guys.

Not only did he summon high-ranking bodyguards from the Treasury Guarding Pavilion, but he also returned to Qingliang Mansion before entering Jiuli and told Brother Huang that after the emperor's tomb was opened, with Ren Ye's character, he would definitely enter to compete for the opportunity. Therefore, if he could upgrade his rank at this critical moment, the value of the three wonders of Qingliang Mansion could be maximized.

Later, on his way to the Emperor's Tomb at Xingshan, Ren also specifically asked Li Yan what the construction progress of these three wonders was when he went to Qingliang Prefecture.

Li Yan replied: "We are all doing our best."

This phrase "do your best" was the biggest motivation for Ren Ye to wait for four years and five months. He trusted every close friend around him, and believed that the Qingliang Mansion must be in full swing and everyone was sprinting.

One day in the emperor’s tomb is equal to seven days on earth.

Four years and five months have passed here, and more than seven months have passed in the outside world, but the opportunity for upgrading has not yet arrived.

If he were the bad little king before, even if he comforted himself every day, he would still be anxious and worried. He would consider what to do if Qingliang Mansion ran out of money; what to do if something happened in Daqian; what to do if he waited until the relocation site was reopened, but still failed to pass this level, and finally broke his promise to fight with the son of the ancient emperor in Tiandu, what to do...? !

In short, the smarter a person is, the more worries he will have and the more he will think, but in the end he will only torture himself.

But these four years and five months of sitting in silence made Ren realize a truth: there are many things in life that are beyond one's control, and people always strive to get the best result in their hearts. But when you break through all obstacles and reach the end, you will find that the final result of things is often contrary to your wishes.

For example, Mr. Xu personally planned this trip to the Emperor's Tomb. Senior White-Striped Chicken crushed the void and came to protect him. His master invited King Yan to help him. Countless friends risked their lives to help him. And now, Qingliang Mansion may also be in turmoil, and a big gamble is going on...

With so many close friends and elders all putting their best efforts into the game, if it were in the past, Ren would definitely feel overwhelmed with pressure, fearing that if he took a wrong step, he would disappoint everyone's expectations.

But now, he would not think about these things anymore. He only told himself that all these worries and anxieties could not solve any dilemma. What he could do now was to wait for the opportunity to come, and then step into the Black Water Lake, burn every inch of his own blood and energy, and strive for victory with all his strength.

Even if what you get in the end is a bad result, you will have no regrets.

Next to the Black Water Lake, on a raised hill, Ren Ye, wearing tattered clothes, was making a fire in the cave that he and Xiaobutian had dug out.

"Wow!"

On the quiet lake surface, a sudden splash of water surged, and a huge head poked out, shouting in a loud voice: "Liger, Liger... This damned divine child is lazy again. He did nothing underwater, leaving me alone to catch fish."

Ren Ye heard this and replied impatiently: "Then just kill him!"

"He's a ghost, he's already dead, how can I kill him again?!"

The little guy jumped out of the lake, holding three or five "big fish" with dragon whiskers and pitch black bodies in each hand.

The species of this fish is unknown, and its scales are as hard as armor. In addition, the mucus that oozes out of its body is somewhat fishy, so it looks very scary. But fortunately, when you really eat this fish, the texture of the meat is still quite delicious, and most importantly, it can fill your stomach.

In more than four years, the food that Ren Ye brought in had long been consumed, and the master and apprentice obviously could not accept that they would starve to death in the emperor's tomb in such an unclear way, because this would be more ridiculous than Lao Liu's death. So under desperation, Xiaobutian personally developed the aquatic resources of the Black Water Lake.

In the whole ominous land, there was no life, no living creatures, only the black water lake in front of him had this kind of fish. So when the little guy caught the fish for the first time, Ren Ye showed a kind and gratified smile and said softly: "You did a good job, the master allows you to eat first."

The little guy was not a good person either. He blinked his eyes and bared his teeth and replied, "It's so delicious, I suggest that Uncle Liu eat it first."

"Wow, my beloved disciple is really smart!"

Ren Ye's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he urgently called the beheaded man to treat him to a whole fish feast.

The headless man thought: "Are you stupid?! I don't have a head, how can I eat this?"

In the end, Ren had no choice but to use the decapitated man's head as a bargaining chip and forced the other party to ask, "Can this fish be eaten?"

The headless man pondered for a while and said, "The Great Emperor and Heaven should not have set up a way for people to die from fish poisoning."

As a result, the master and disciple ate fish banquets every day for the next three or four years and lived a life similar to that of the Upper Cave Man and Peking Man.

"Lion and Tiger, today is an odd day, shall we roast it and eat it?!" The little guy walked on the lake, his body turned into a shadow, and he arrived at the cave in less than three breaths.

If calculated according to the time outside, the little guy should be over six years old now, almost seven years old; but if calculated according to the time in the emperor's tomb, he just celebrated his tenth birthday a few months ago.

He was a full head taller than before he entered the emperor's tomb, and his skin was shiny dark and his body was strong. His messy hair was tied randomly behind his head. At first glance, he looked like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

The most important thing is that the little guy has already reached the first level - the realm of great perfection of the physical body - without receiving any inheritance.

During the past four years, Ren not only let him and Shenwa practice with each other every day, but also taught them cultural subjects. He really did his best.

In the cave, after Ren Ye started a fire, he ignored everything else and just let his apprentice roast the "black fish" while sweating profusely.

He sat at the entrance of the cave, looking at the sky that was about to turn night, preparing to enter into meditation again and comprehend his many divine techniques and artistic conceptions.

During this boring wait, he has thoroughly consolidated his extraordinary abilities and has evolved all the magical skills he has learned to perfection, which has a sense of returning to basics.

"boom!"

He had just closed his eyes when he suddenly felt the world turbulent.

"brush!"

The towering figure of the Headless Man appeared above the Black Water Lake, and a terrifying aura swept across the entire ominous place.

Are you here to announce it again?

Ren Ye had a calm expression and looked at him with a reserved look.

[Announcement: Number 7 - The winner of the secret road to the human world, King Koren, spent four years and six months challenging the incarnation of God - the Mind Thief - ninety-nine times in the ominous mirror, but failed to defeat or kill him.]

[Special notice: After receiving the opportunity of the Great Emperor, King Li Ren was eliminated after a quarter of an hour and lost the qualification to compete in the Great Dao.]

……

Beside another black water lake, King Li Ren had disheveled hair and his abdomen was blasted through by the magic weapon of the Mind Thief. Scarlet blood flowed out, staining his entire body red.

His body was damaged and his breath was extremely weak, but the "severe pain" these wounds brought him was not even one-tenth of the sadness and despair in his heart.

Four years and six months!!!

He experienced failure again and again, and also experienced countless setbacks and the pain of his pride collapsing. But he also stood up again and again in despair, stepped into the Black Water Lake without hesitation, and faced the insurmountable mountain.

He was the only one among all the Blood Drawers who had fought all ninety-nine challenges, and he was defeated by a hair's breadth on several occasions.

He had also pushed the Mind Thief into a desperate situation, he had also burned himself out countless times, fighting until every inch of his blood dried up, and finally dying powerlessly on the frozen lake.

But he just couldn't cross the mountain in front of him and take a look at the other side...

In the final battle, the Divine Thought Thief spoke, saying, "Innumerable years ago, the Great Emperor died, and all eighty-one tribes were buried in an ominous land, extinct for an entire era. Innumerable years later, no one can stop my ominous coming, the Nine Li collapsed, and no one dares to claim to be the Great Emperor's successor!"

This sentence kept exploding in King Li Ren's mind. He was unwilling to accept his own failure, and he was even more unwilling to see that a mere incomplete incarnation of a god could sit firmly on the mountain and suppress the genius of Jiuli for an entire era with the strength of the same level.

Therefore, he was sad and unwilling to believe this fact.

But he knew that he couldn't do that, and he knew that he made the wrong choice in the human arena. He shouldn't have walked with anyone, but should have felt the loneliness and the state of mind of walking alone.

But there is no regret medicine in the world. If you make the wrong choice, there is no going back.

However, King Kojiren was not a person who was indecisive and worried about gains and losses.

He was not trapped in his past choices, regretting and suffering day and night. He made the wrong choice, but he admitted it in his heart; he could not defeat the mind thief, but he also admitted it.

If your cultivation is not good enough, then you lose and just admit it calmly. It’s no big deal.

But he really didn't want to see that the future of the younger generation of the entire Jiuli would be blocked by the mountain in front of them.

The headless man stood on the lake and said simply, "Before you receive the opportunity granted by the Great Emperor, you can leave a message for your companions..."

A cool breeze blew across the barren wasteland. King Li Ren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a pale face. He looked at the extremely dark sky and whispered softly: "The road of the human world is a struggle between the same generation in our world. However, only after stepping into this sacred land can we see the true will of the emperor we want to inherit, ascend to the sky, and conquer the ominous."

"I'm not the only one... So, Jiuli Liren King, I sincerely wish the other fellow Taoists who are sitting by the Black Water Lake. May you all cross this mountain in front of you, kill the ominous incarnation of the gods, repeat the great emperor's feats in his later years, and open the way for the younger generation of our world to ascend to heaven!!!"
