After feeling the specialness of this voice, Gu Qingyang's first feeling was surprise. He didn't think anyone could contact him at this time.
Enemies, friends, fellow Taoists... He has clearly remembered almost everyone he met in this life, even strangers.
But even so, he couldn't think of anyone else who would contact him in such a mysterious and magical way at this time.
"call--"
The pleasure of the crazy growth of flesh and blood and the pain of flesh and blood on the verge of destruction were intertwined, deeply troubling him as a person facing life and death at this moment.
After taking a deep breath, he decided to put the strange feeling behind him for the time being and move forward.
His Eighth Realm Killing Tribulation has reached this point, at the moment of life and death.
It is certainly a good thing that he can become extraordinary in this killing calamity, but it is precisely because he has become more extraordinary that God wants to destroy him.
For this reason... the thunder falling from the supreme sky has become more and more terrifying. Even if he concentrates on dealing with it, he will be under great pressure.
Not to mention being distracted at this time. If he was really distracted, wouldn't he be seeking death? He didn't want to lose to the Supreme Heaven, let alone die.
"Boom!"
"Little friend."
However, the next moment, as a thunderous sound shook the world, there was also a vicissitudes of life sound deep in his heart.
The lightning was so intense that no living thing in the world dared to stare at it. Gu Qingyang was shrouded in thousands of thunders, and its vitality was constantly being extinguished.
Logically speaking, at this critical moment of life and death, Gu Qingyang should concentrate on fighting for this disaster.
But that call instantly pulled his consciousness deep into his inner world, making him want to find the source of the sound involuntarily.
"It's...it's you!"
"Is it really you?"
Deep in his inner world, when Gu Qingyang walked through the scenes, he finally saw a person in the deepest part of his inner world.
It was an old man, with white beard and hair, dressed in tattered burlap clothes, with a stooped figure, and he looked extremely thin.
Gu Qingyang was not particularly familiar with this person. Gu Qingyang didn't even know what his name was.
But Gu Qingyang had an extremely deep impression on him, because... this old man was the old beggar he and his sister had rescued.
At that time, the old man was staggering on the ice of the northern wilderness, looking extremely miserable.
When he first met this person, even though he knew that saving this person might cause big trouble, Gu Qingyang still saved him.
"This body and bones return to heaven and earth."
"Not stained by the world of mortals."
To this day, Gu Qingyang still remembers the words left by the old man in front of him. This passage had an enlightening effect on his practice.
In this life, a large part of the reason why he was able to understand Shinto and then cultivate it had nothing to do with this old man.
And Gu Qingyang also knew... this person, this old man, who suddenly appeared in the depths of his inner world, must have something to do with the Palace of Eternal Life.
And the relationship is probably not shallow.
"Blue Blood Pill Heart Order".
Until now, Gu Qingyang still remembers what the old man gave him. He originally thought that thing was just an ordinary souvenir.
Wanwan didn't expect that in the end, this thing would be the most important thing in the Eternal Life Palace, and it was something that was inscribed with the supreme inheritance of the Eternal Life Palace.
If you get it, plus a little bit of fate... you can get the supreme inheritance of the Eternal Life Palace.
When he first understood the divine way, even Gu Qingyang himself did not expect this change.
But looking back now, everything seems not that simple. Thinking of this, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
yes.
How could things in this world be so simple? How could a real old beggar wander in that extremely dangerous wasteland?
How could a real old beggar possess something like the Blue Blood Pill Heart Token? When he first got the opportunity, he was already surprised.
Now I meet the same person again.
Now that they meet again, Gu Qingyang is full of doubts, but also has a slight understanding. He could vaguely guess that he was probably being plotted.
But...since the old man could see him in such an attitude, it meant that this matter would never be as simple as he thought.
He knows the Palace of Eternal Life very well.
He knew that some of the people in this super orthodoxy were just like most of the orthodox bone cultivators, they were a group of simple people who hated evil and hated evil.
Those people do have a heart that yearns for the right path and are indeed doing righteous things. But these people are often too willing to stick to the rules.
In other words, they just don’t know how to adapt.
Black is black, white is white, there is no gray in the world where black and white intersect... This is the world in the eyes of those people.
Gu Qingyang knew very well that there should be many people like this in the Eternal Life Palace. Those people were a group of stubborn people.
At least he met a lot of them in his previous life.
During the fight in his previous life, he was extremely disgusted and resentful towards such people. He doesn't even think there's anything good about this kind of person.
But in this life, as he started to practice again from the original starting point, as he experienced killing again, he experienced some things.
His views on the world, his views on people and sentient beings have all changed.
Gu Qingyang himself could feel that he seemed to be more tolerant than in his previous life.
He seems to be able to understand many people and many creatures. He felt that he had always regarded himself as a human being.
Therefore, his perspective on everything is always from a human perspective. No matter what he thinks about, he always thinks "he is a human being."
Now... in this life, he will no longer have such thoughts. In this life, he will still regard himself as a wanderer most of the time.
He moves forward and practices in the world of mortals.
He traveled all the way and grew up.
He killed many creatures and transformed.
In the eyes of those stubborn people, he should be a sinner with his hands stained with blood. He should be a person who has committed a heinous crime and should be killed.
When he was still in the seventh realm, he also felt that his killing was also a sin. But later he didn't think that way, let alone see it that way.
Because he clearly realized that when the world regarded him as guilty, the world did not realize that they themselves were the same person.
Such is the world of living beings.
The world of living beings is full of killing.
Insects eat grass, birds eat insects, and the more ferocious and cruel birds eat smaller birds. Such a scene is just the tip of the iceberg of the living world.
Human...the human world is just a corner of the world of living beings, but the world of human beings looks more complicated than the world of other living beings.
That's all.
If we really want to return to the essence, then everything will be like this.
Everyone, no matter strong or weak, no matter their status, always has blood on their hands.
Predation, transformation...and then achieving the survival desire of evolution, this is the instinct and essence of the existence of living things, and it cannot be violated.
Otherwise, living beings would not be divided into strong, weak and humble, and the world would not be described by words such as the law of the jungle.
Everyone has their own rules of survival.
Those people believed that he was a demon and a heinous person just because he violated those people's rules of survival.
If he is wrong, then everyone is wrong. If he is without fault, then everyone is without fault, and vice versa.
He shouldn't be overly resentful towards the stubborn people in the Palace of Eternal Life, because there is no need.
When it comes to being mortal enemies of each other and refusing to give up until life or death, just kill those people.
All excess resentment is an excessive consumption of one's inner energy.
The same applies to other stubborn people who are on the so-called righteous path, and it should be the same. This is what he thinks now, if he should kill, he will kill.
Kill when you need to. This is his attitude towards his enemies, especially his mortal enemies. If you think of the law of survival of living beings as a tower.
Then he will try his best to reach the top.
It's the same tower. In the eyes of others, what exists on the "top" of this tower is nothing more than some powerful creatures.
But he was different. The top of this tower was just one word in his eyes - sky. He has created for himself an enemy that is feared by all.
He knew that only by defeating this enemy could he gain true freedom.
However, when the day comes that he is free, all living beings will fear him.
But before this day comes, all living beings will not be afraid of him. All living beings will only regard him as a madman, a terrifying madman.
Especially those stubborn ones. Among all creatures, they are the ones who are most willing to shout and scream about the unchanging "rules".
…
At this moment, Gu Qingyang looked at the old man in front of him with extremely peaceful eyes. This old man is still the same as when we met.
This old man still looks like a beggar. If you look carefully, you can see that the old man's clothes are slightly different from those before. His clothes are cleaner.
While looking at him, Gu Qingyang silently thought in his heart, what kind of person is the old man in front of him?
This old man... is he the kind of stubborn person who prefers to stick to the rules, or the kind of open-minded person who can accept new things?
Maybe it's because of the influence of past life memories.
At the moment when he saw this old man, Gu Qingyang really wanted to define him as the former. But his reason told him that he couldn't do that.
Because this old man was probably not the kind of person he imagined. Otherwise, there would be no need for people to be so pleasant.
If you really want to kill him, why would you risk being targeted by heaven to see him at this time? If you really want to kill him, you can do it directly!
Therefore, Gu Qingyang was willing to treat the old man in front of him with a kind attitude.
However, Gu Qingyang himself also knew that from the most practical point of view, he did not have time.
No matter what the old man was going to do or what he was going to say. He could only give the old man a short period of time to communicate.
After a period of time, he must leave his inner world, return to reality, and face the way of heaven with his extremely tenacious attitude.
His nemesis was already ignoring the rules. If this catastrophe is allowed to evolve unchecked, a miracle may actually happen next.
As a person who contends with the sky, he is actually an extremely sober person.
It was precisely because of this sobriety that he knew what to do at the right time. And when you do something, you must do it with your best.
"Little friend."
"Is the Ancient God's Immortal Sutra still useful?"
Finally, I saw that Gu Qingyang remained silent all the time. The old man really couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the initiative and spoke with a smile.
Hearing this, Gu Qingyang did not hesitate, just smiled back to express his gratitude, and then asked in a calm tone:
"Old man, I believe that with your experience and knowledge, I don't need to make any detours when talking to you."
"So I want to ask you now, what is your original intention of leaving this Jade Blood Pill Heart Token to me?"
"You should know... I am a person destined to be evil and a demon. People like me will either grow up to be the enemy of the whole world."
"Otherwise, we can only perish."
"The Ancient God's Immortal Scripture is indeed a good thing. How could I not feel comfortable using such an inheritance? But it shouldn't belong to me. You should know this."
…
Gu Qingyang obviously only had one question, but when he decided to express it clearly in words, he had more words.
He originally just wanted to ask a question, but as he spoke, it became more and more. In the end, he talked a lot to the old man.
A long time, time seems to have passed a long time.
After a long time, Gu Qingyang finally finished speaking. Until Gu Qingyang finished his last sentence, the old man looked calm.
But soon, after Gu Qingyang said the last sentence, the old man's expression became much more serious, but he did not give an answer immediately.
He was just watching.
He was looking at Gu Qingyang, and also looking at Gu Qingyang's inner world. It seemed as if he wanted to remember everything in front of him.
"Little friend——"
Finally, the old man spoke.
"I think you should understand that not everyone can get the things in this Jade Blood Pill Heart Token."
"Remember the day we first met? That day you gave me a bowl of broth. It was warm, it was hot, and it gave me endless happiness."
"At that time...I, an old man, asked you why you were willing to save me, and asked you...why you were willing to save someone like me."
"Do you remember your answer?"
"You said that everyone in this world is qualified to eat. Maybe you don't care about the answer you gave me, but the old man has remembered this sentence."
"There is nothing wrong with the Jade Blood Pill Heart Token being something from the Palace of Eternal Life, but the things inside this token belong to whoever it belongs to."
"Others can't take it away."
"Please remember, you did not choose the Blue Blood Pill Heart Token, but the Blue Blood Pill Heart Token chose you at that time."
"Hahahahaha——"
At the end of the speech, the old man suddenly changed his previous style. He no longer spoke calmly, but showed an extremely heroic momentum.
The last laugh caused Gu Qingyang's inner world to show infinite waves, just like the water surface in the rain curtain, with countless ripples.
"Understood."
Gu Qingyang nodded and understood a lot of things after thinking about it. So he nodded in agreement without saying too many words, which was considered a response.
At this moment, what Gu Qingyang was thinking about was related to the Palace of Eternal Life. He indeed understood everything the old man said.
What the old man meant was simple.
From now on, he can continue to use the Immortal Scripture of Ancient Gods, and he can use it legitimately, because this is the inheritance he has received in an upright manner.
Just like the inheritance methods of many great traditions, the supreme inheritance of the Palace of Eternal Life is to inherit and select people, rather than people choosing to inherit.
So from the perspective of the Ancient God Immortal Sutra, he does not owe any cause and effect.
But he does owe the Palace of Eternal Life a cause and effect, and the cause of this cause and effect is the Heart Order of the Blue Blood Pill.
After all, this thing is something left by the ancestors of the Eternal Life Palace. It is inextricably linked to the Eternal Life Palace. It is not a good thing for him to keep it.
Therefore, he didn't need the old man to remind him, he had already thought that he should find an opportunity to return the Jade Blood Pill Heart Token to its original owner.
"What did you come to see me for?"
After being silent for a while, Gu Qingyang spoke again. When he spoke, Gu Qingyang had already noticed that he was in a very bad state.
Logically speaking, he really can't delay it any longer now, and he should return to reality as quickly as possible.
Only in this way can the problem be solved.
But his intuition was also telling him that many things in this world were not that simple. It's time to solve the problem, he can't leave yet.
Now that this old man is here, he can't just solve the cause and effect of the Eternal Life Palace. He guessed that the other party must have more important things to talk to him.
So he chose to speak first.
What is supposed to happen will always happen, and what is still to come will still come. There is no use in escaping. Rather than escaping, it is better to face it.
"You finally spoke."
The old man smiled and then said seriously:
"Then let's talk about it, and we won't talk about other things. If we don't talk about it, I won't talk about you either. Let's just talk about food. Let's talk about food."
"meal?"
After hearing the old man's words, Gu Qingyang was slightly startled at first. He didn't expect that the old man would make a fuss about this matter.
Rice... what the old man said was nice. If we really wanted to discuss it, could it be as simple as having something to do with just a meal?
Palace of Eternal Life, Palace of Eternal Life.
Since this old man was born here, it means that this old man still cares about all living beings in the world. Therefore, this meal is mostly related to sentient beings.
"Yes, it's food."
"My little friend, you once said that all living beings in the world have the right to eat."
"Now that you are acting like this, don't you think you are denying others food?"
…
The old man suddenly spoke, and his whole aura changed completely. In just an instant, his whole person looked a little more majestic.
Such a change really seems to overwhelm others. In an instant, Gu Qingyang felt endless pressure from the old man in front of him.
…
