With a word that broke the illusion, Zi Chen stood on the sea of blood, with the bloody steps in front of him.
Zi Chen's mind is extremely determined, and he has killed countless people along the way. The illusion formations that test his mind are nothing to him.
"You're awake." A voice came from beside Zi Chen.
I thought I was the first person to cross the sea of blood, but I didn't expect someone to be faster than me, it was Su Mengyao.
Su Mengyao practiced the ethereal way. This way is inherently ethereal. Following her heart, the mental test is really child's play for her. She has already crossed the sea of blood without even seeing the illusion.
The raging waves in the blood sea were like blood dragons, and the thunderous rolling sounds echoed around. After crossing the blood sea, Zi Chen heard the sound of the blood sea.
Mo Yuan, Lu Peng and others were also moving forward unhurriedly, with firm steps and calm expressions. Zi Chen believed that these people would have no problem crossing the sea of blood, because if even they couldn't cross, then this sea would How many people can cross the sea?
Naturally, it was impossible to climb the ladder until everyone arrived. While waiting, Su Mengyao suddenly asked: "What did you see in the sea of blood?"
Zi Chen answered truthfully: "I saw Lingwu Sect, I saw blood and boundless killing."
Su Mengyao nodded silently and said nothing.
A few minutes later, the demon ape came here and successfully crossed the sea with a calm expression.
During this period, people still fell into the sea, and some people seemed to retreat after seeing the terrifying scene and disappeared.
After a while, Lu Peng came forward.
Immediately afterwards, some spirits arrived. They looked at Zi Chen fearfully, and without hesitation, they stepped onto the ladder to heaven.
Dragon Tiger also successfully crossed the sea, and Soul-Eating Rat successfully crossed the sea. With the arrival of Zi Chen's people, more people successfully crossed the sea.
They didn't choose to wait for their companions like Zi Chen. Instead, they looked for opportunities and hurriedly climbed the ladder to heaven.
The original army has completely disintegrated after passing through the nine passes. Everything depends on chance.
The ladder to heaven is one foot wide, and the steps go straight into the sky. There is no visible number. However, as many monks boarded the ladder, the ladder did not feel crowded at all.
Zi Chen raised his head and looked at the monks ascending the ladder to heaven, and found that they climbed the ladder very quickly, almost without any pause, and they stepped on more than ten floors.
Rays of light suddenly lit up one after another, just as someone stepped back before. The moment the light came on, the monks disappeared one after another, going nowhere.
After more than ten steps, those figures that did not disappear slowed down significantly, and some even stood still.
"Climbing the ladder to heaven is really not that simple. This is another test." Su Mengyao said from the side.
Zi Chen and his team have successfully crossed the sea, and the next step is to climb the ladder to heaven. Obviously, this step still depends on themselves and only themselves.
"See you at the end of the ladder." Without any words of encouragement, Zi Chen nodded to everyone and stepped directly towards the bloody ladder.
Everyone stepped onto the stairs and could climb the ten steps almost effortlessly. They predicted that the first ten steps would be the least difficult.
Unexpectedly, Zi Chen stopped after stepping onto the first step.
"Stopped at the first step, maybe he encountered something."
Everyone was confused, but as mentioned before, they could only rely on themselves here, so everyone stepped onto the stairs one after another, and then climbed up the stairs as quickly as possible, surpassing Zi Chen in an instant.
Su Mengyao was the last one to climb the ladder. Looking at Zi Chen's standing motionless figure, she could vaguely guess that Zi Chen seemed to have seen something.
To be precise, Zi Chen did not meet something, but a person, a person who changed his destiny. Of course, this was not a benefactor, but an enemy that Zi Chen killed with his own hands.
Zhao Can.
After so many years, Zi Chen saw this young man who was so greedy for profit and unrighteousness. The young man's image in his mind had long become blurry. If he hadn't seen this face again, he would probably never remember this person again.
Although he changed Zi Chen's fate, in the torrent of time, he was just a passer-by who made a small splash.
From the current perspective, Zhao Can in front of him is still very immature. There is anxiety in his expression, and there is also a trace of anger hidden.
Zi Chen looked at Zhao Can and said seriously: "Maybe you are right. There is only one benefit that maintains this world. In other words, it is this word that connects people and things in the entire world."
Seeing Zhao Can, he naturally remembered what the other party had said, and I have to say that Zi Chen has spent hundreds of years proving that Zhao Can's point of view is right.
Profit, everything is for profit.
He clearly has an irresolvable grudge with the Five Elements forces, but he still chooses to cooperate with each other. He is a world enemy with the demons, and they are still cooperating. In the land of chaos, his relationship with the five major forces was not that good, but because of interests They have no choice but to cooperate, thereby binding them to themselves in everything with benefits.
Everything is for profit.
It took Zi Chen hundreds of years to prove this, but Zhao Can understood this truth when he was a teenager.
"Zi Chen, what nonsense are you talking about again? Let me ask you, is the snow ginseng you said before true?" Zhao Can asked, his expression constantly fluctuating.
Zi Chen looked at Zhao Can seriously, looked at the anxious expression on Zhao Can's face, saw the panic in the other person's eyes, and also saw the vague murderous intention. This was what happened back then, and it reappeared at this moment.
It's just that Zi Chen didn't expect that the expression that looked excited and excited at the beginning would show so many complicated emotions at this moment.
How could a young man hide anything in front of Zi Chen, who had lived for hundreds of years? However, this young man had deceived Zi Chen very well back then.
Zi Chen suddenly chuckled: "Almost all my achievements now are thanks to you. If it hadn't been for what happened back then, there might have been only a mediocre Zi Chen who couldn't even break through the Xiantian realm, but not what he is now. Zi Chen."
Looking at Zhao Can, whose expression gradually became astonished, Zi Chen said again: "You were my biggest enemy back then, and I wanted to kill you right away. But now that I think about it, I seem to be grateful to you. You are private, but you have created the future me."
Zhao Can's expression changed again. He looked at Zi Chen as if he were looking at an idiot, "Zi Chen, are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense? I'm asking you if the snow ginseng you mentioned really exists." .”
Zhao Can looked extremely serious and seemed extremely nervous about the snow ginseng matter, while Zi Chen had almost forgotten what the five-hundred-year-old snow ginseng looked like.
Zi Chen smiled meaningfully and said, "Of course it's true, five hundred years is quite enough."
"That's good. We can exchange for some Qi Pills. We can hope after entering the inner gate. By the way, when are we going to find them?" Zhao Can asked urgently.
"You can look for me anytime." Zi Chen smiled and said, "But you can inform Wang Xiong."
Zhao Can's expression changed, he forced himself to calm down, and asked: "Zi Zichen, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I'm just asking you. Can I notify Senior Brother Wang Xiong and find shelter? If we are notified and found, then we can leave. When we get there, you can kill me."
Looking at Zi Chen's extremely calm eyes, Zhao Can looked extremely flustered. He subconsciously took a few steps back and said in a panic: "Zi Chen, what nonsense are you talking about again."
"This is not nonsense, it is a fact, because this thing has happened before, and I was almost killed by you, but in the end I lived and you died."
Seeing Zhao Can's panic, confusion and confusion, Zi Chen explained: "There is no Snow Ginseng, no Wang Xiong, and no Lingwu Sect. They are fake. Everything is fake, and you are also fake. just me"
Zi Chen looked at himself. He was dressed in green clothes and his figure was slightly thin. There were only four layers of zhenqi in his body. He paused and said, "I am the only one who is real."
"Crazy, really crazy, Zi Chen, you are crazy." Zhao Can was so frightened that he retreated to the door and might run away at any time.
Zi Chen stared at the panicked Zhao Can, smiled calmly, and said: "Don't be nervous, everything is fake, no matter how realistic it is, it is still fake. The reason why I have been telling you such nonsense for so many years is I hated you before and wanted you to die, and even years after I killed you, I still hate you."
"But now I want to tell you that as time goes by and as I become stronger and stronger, I no longer hate you, but I am somewhat grateful to you, because without your thorn, Zi Chen may no longer be Zi Chen."
"So, in order to thank you, I decided to kill you with my own hands and pierce your heart with my own hands."
Zhao Can's face turned paler, but faced with the threat of death, a look of cruelty suddenly appeared on his frightened face. He suddenly stood up and shouted to Zi Chen: "Zi Chen, you want to kill me? You have forgotten the rules of Lingwu Sect. Even if you forget the rules, you cannot forget my strength. In a life-and-death battle, the winner is six or four. I am six and you are four."
"It only takes one strike to kill you." Zi Chen said seriously, then stretched out his hand, and a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand.
Seeing this dagger, Zhao Can lost his composure: "This is my thing, why is it with you, and when did you steal it?"
Zi Chen said nothing and walked straight towards Zhao Can. Zhao Can backed away in fear and wanted to escape, but suddenly found that there was no way because there was nothing where the door should have been.
The door was gone and the window was gone. Seeing Zi Chen approaching, Zhao Can felt as if he had seen a ferocious beast, with no fighting spirit in his heart and fear on his face.
"Zi Chen, you can't kill me, we are brothers." Zhao Can said in horror.
Zi Chen suddenly laughed, and his smile was a little ferocious, "Brother, you use it to sell out when there is benefit. Although I still don't agree with your point of view, I have to say that in this situation, this sentence has a profound impact on me. It’s still somewhat useful, because if I kill you, I can move up a level, which is beneficial to me.”
"So you go die."
Zi Chen stabbed Zhao Can in the chest with the short dagger in his hand.
Zhao Can was stabbed to death with one blow.
On the bloody steps, just after Zhao Can died, Zi Chen took a step, and then another step.
After walking up more than twenty steps, a voice said from Zi Chen's mouth, "This illusion is really boring."
As Zi Chen walked up the steps, his eyelids trembled slightly and he was about to open them.
