The hot magma on the seabed can easily swallow up the life in the cave realm.
But in the eyes of the True Element Realm, they are just surging red pigments.
Even without the protection of the so-called crystal fragments, the originally manic and violent magma could only flow around "him" timidly.
And under the push of the magma flow, passing through the white vortex where countless magma disappeared out of thin air, "he" finally came to this treasure land again.
This is the twenty-eighth time "he" has entered the marrow-washing Tianchi of the inheritance place.
But no matter which time it was, "he" was intoxicated by the abundant spiritual energy here and the worldly atmosphere of the origin of all things.
Ximui Tianchi occupies a huge area. No matter which space door you enter this place from, you can't see where other space doors are as far as the eye can see.
But no matter where you stand, anyone who enters here can see the suspended special-shaped crystal stone in the center of Tianchi as long as they look up.
——That was an insignificant piece of material dropped from the cornerstone of spiritual power that constructed the world when the world began.
"Senior Tianxin is so lucky to have collected such a treasure.
"Even if it's just a piece of scrap material, it is a being that has the same origin as the world. It can support the energy of the entire Marrow Cleansing Heavenly Pond...
"If I can get you, even without 'that'... I will be able to enter the mortal realm."
"He" raised his right hand and looked at the broken cornerstone with obsessed eyes from between his fingers, as if he wanted to grab it.
The cornerstone fragments still emit rhythmic light peacefully, releasing its unique and mysterious artistic conception.
“As much as I want to get you, now is not the time.
"After all, I am very greedy... If I can get more and better things, I don't mind waiting a little longer."
"He" looked away and showed a weird smile,
"Soon, the land of inheritance will usher in a new owner...just let him have you temporarily for a while."
Suddenly, "his" gaze moved to the side, and his pupils lost focus.
It seemed that he saw something else through the void, and began to talk to himself again:
"Hmm...can it come faster than that kid? I have to go and see..."
"His" figure flashed, and his whole person was instantly replaced near another space door of the Marrow Cleansing Tianchi.
The scenery here is no different from the one just now
——The only difference is that the two figures are already in the Tianchi water, guiding the crystals in their hands to understand the meaning of the cornerstone of the world.
"Next to me is... Xiao Jinnian, a student from the main campus?
"It seems that the two people are only on guard against the outside world, but not wary of each other.
"It seems your relationship is better than I thought... That's really troublesome.
"If we continue to act according to the original script, it will be easy to get involved."
Although it was obvious at a glance that Xiao Jinian and Ling Yao were still on alert even though they were meditating, "he" still waded through the water of Tianchi leisurely and walked to the two of them.
No one noticed that a third person suddenly appeared here.
This is just a small microcosm of the gap between the True Yuan Realm and the Dongxu Realm.
And this "third person" bypassed Xiao Jinian and slowly stood in front of Ling Yao.
"He" spread out his palms and gently placed them on Ling Yao's head, as if this could further confirm "his" judgment:
"Although I know you are a genius, seeing with my own eyes that there is someone in the world who can resonate with the cornerstone of the world to such a degree is really... it is such a pity that you were picked up by Jianmen...
"Ah, no, actually it wasn't Jianmen who discovered you, but 'that person' took the initiative to send you to Jianmen... Lin Ruiyang is really lucky."
And Ling Yao, who is comprehending the power of Tianchi, seems to be completely unaware of what is happening now!
"He" closed his eyes, and his mental power began to escape from his hands, wrapping Ling Yao around him:
"But I wasn't lucky enough to find 'the kid'.
"'The child' is my 'knife' and you are the prey? No, you are the knife. A carving knife that shapes the perfect vessel.
“As long as the plan goes well, no matter how talented you are, it is just a stepping stone on the road.
"That's how it should be..."
Suddenly, "he" opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Ling Yao with distortion and anger.
“Even if it’s just a stepping stone, you still have a chance to survive, but you insist on finding out who is behind the scenes.
"If you dare to say anything in front of 'that child', I have been planning for more than ten years..."
At the moment when the spiritual power of the True Yuan Realm was about to destroy Ling Yao's sea of consciousness, "he" retracted his palm as if he was electrocuted, and pinched his wrist tremblingly,
"No, no. If I could kill you easily, I should have done it ten years ago.
"I almost forgot, I almost forgot... you have the same aura as 'him'.
"No matter which side 'he' is on, he must be paying attention to you right now, and I can't take any chances. I'm about to succeed, and I can't take any chances.
"You can't mess with the existence that can kill the mortal saint..."
…
Previously, they only felt that the spiritual power was rich. It was not until they entered the Marrow Cleansing Heavenly Pond that Ling Yao and Xiao Jinian realized that the spiritual power here had even become so pure that it was stagnant, making them, practitioners of the Cave Void Realm, feel extremely uncomfortable.
After they tried many times, they found that even the spiritual and mental tricks couldn't be used normally here.
"It seems like it's a place where we are forced to meditate and not attack each other. It's even more extreme than the skill stone tablet."
Xiao Jinnian looked around, and was finally attracted by the broken foundation stone suspended in the center of Tianchi.
"Although I don't know what it is, just standing here, I feel like I have learned a lot. It's really amazing."
When Ling Yao entered Tianchi, he felt the seemingly non-existent call of the gravel.
That is a power that is simpler, closer to the origin of the world, and gentler than the martial arts connotation of Patriarch Tianxin.
Perhaps the martial arts connotation that supported Patriarch Tianxin all the way to the True Yuan Realm and even the Mortal Saint Realm came from this piece of gravel.
But what made him feel strange was that compared to the Tianxin inheritance that was almost completely compatible with him, the gravel in front of him gave him a feeling——
"More friendly..."
Ling Yao even felt a little dizzy.
"Ah, if it's the protagonist, it's probably my mother who I've never met who carries some amazing bloodline inheritance, and then passed it on to me and turned me into a 'Goldfinger'..."
"But what is in front of me is a stone! What kind of blood does the stone have? I am not a monkey named Sun..."
Xiao Jinnian heard Ling Yao muttering something and turned his head in confusion.
Only then did Ling Yao realize that he seemed to have spoken out his random thoughts, and immediately shook his head quickly, as if this could get rid of his boring thoughts, and said instead:
"I just got the 'prophecy' information. As long as I stimulate the energy of the crystal fragments, I can more truly understand the meaning of the cornerstone of the world."
Xiao Jinnian didn't care what Ling Yao said before. He weighed the crystal in his hand and shook his head helplessly:
"I consumed too much in the magma flow just now. I guess I can only hold on for a quarter of an hour with what's left..."
Ling Yao also took out his own crystal, held it up to the light, and squinted at it: "A little better than you, I can probably last two quarters of an hour..."
"Is this just a little better?! Twice as much!"
"That's only an extra quarter of an hour..."
"This kind of opportunity, even one more minute, is very precious! You really got the advantage and behaved well! #￥￥#@%@..."
Ling Yao covered his ears, silently moved towards the cornerstone of the world, and sat down directly in the water of Tianchi:
"Now is not the time to relax. If there is a time limit or something...so, if you beep again, I will put your head under the water."
After saying that, Ling Yao turned around and found that Xiao Jinnian had been sitting cross-legged on the ground for some time, stimulating the crystal fragments to start meditating.
Ling Yao: ...I wanted to scare him a little more.
As a result, this guy became self-conscious, leaving a lump in his throat. It feels bad.
He sighed and quickly entered meditation.
Gradually, his thoughts were emptied, and the sea of consciousness that was originally rippling with microwaves calmed down.
And above the mirror-like sea of consciousness, the scene of the birth of the world began to play back.
Large tracts of world cornerstones were spliced piece by piece according to mysterious laws, gradually forming the prototype of the world.
Heaven and earth are separated, clear and turbid are divided, and spiritual energy is transpiring.
The air in the sky condenses into dew, generates electricity through friction, and falls into the ocean formed on the ground.
The brilliance of thunder and lightning stirs up new vitality in the ocean - this is the origin of life.
Ling Yao gradually became addicted to it.
Everything starts from here...
…
"Abnormal. Abnormal. So perverted!"
Xiao Jinian had woken up after meditating. Cleansing the marrow in Tianchi indeed transformed his thoughts and understanding, and he gained a lot.
After this baptism, if you give him some more time, he will be able to reach the Dongxu Wood Tribulation without any hindrance.
but!
Compared with the guy in front of me who is crossing the river, he is a waste!
He circled around the unconscious Ling Yao who was meditating a few times, pulled the corners of his mouth and sighed heavily.
"Sure enough, people can't be compared with geniuses. Comparing people with people is so infuriating..."
Ling Yao suddenly became motionless and gradually opened his eyes.
Xiao Jinnian's big face immediately caught his eye, frightening him and knocking him backwards.
"Oh haha——Master Ling, are you happy? Congratulations on how you survived the Dongxu Water Tribulation without any trouble?"
Hearing Xiao Jinnian's words, Ling Yao was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up and adjusted his clothes slowly:
"Oh...well, thank you."
Then what greeted him was Xiao Jinian's "just" iron fist:
"You have such an indifferent attitude that you don't deserve a beating!!
"Do you know how lucky it is that Dongxu's five calamities have passed so easily?! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Ling Yao rolled his eyes, and seeing that Xiao Jinnian was protecting him just now, he pretended to receive two fists from Xiao Jinnian, and shouted bitterly:
"Okay, okay, okay... isn't this the turn of events? The wood tribulation has been so miserable for me, so I can't let the water tribulation also peel off my skin!
"By the way, did you feel that someone was here just now..."
"Ah, no, if other cave virtual realms break in, the atmosphere here will change... Ah! No! Change the subject! I don't care! You treat me to dinner!"
"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner..."
“It’s agreed first, you treat and you pay!!!!”
Ling Yao: ...still remembering the last time...
