Unknown space, somewhere in a mysterious cave.
Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes amid the stinging pain and glanced around in a daze.
Mountains, rivers, trees, waterfalls, mountain springs, and the smoke-filled ground came into view one by one, making him extremely surprised.
"The heaven and earth are righteous, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars." Suddenly, a disembodied voice came from the cave.
Immediately afterwards, another majestic voice also slowly sounded: "To others, it is said that Haoran is so vast that it blocks the sky. The imperial road is clear and barbaric, and it contains harmony and opens up to the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was startled, and he used all his strength to get up, only to find that his body had become transparent, and his original Hunyuan Golden Body was gone.
"I, am I really out of my mind?"
Jiang Chen muttered something, which caused a burst of laughter.
Raising his head, Jiang Chen saw two figures, one black and one white, beside the waterfall in front of him, each holding a fishing rod. It turned out to be a straight hook, and it was still one meter away from the water.
Jiang Taigong is fishing, whoever wants to take the bait?
Jiang Chen looked at them and immediately thought of this idiom, but he knew very well that these two figures were obviously countless times more powerful than Jiang Taigong.
Thinking of this, with a thought in his mind, he flew out lightly and reached the two figures in an instant.
These are two middle-aged creatures who look to be in their early forties, but their whole bodies exude an unpredictable aura.
None of them spoke, and Jiang Chen couldn't speak either. The three of them seemed to be getting along with each other in such a tacit understanding.
Suddenly, the straight hook of the white-robed creature was instantly bitten by a gray fish, and he skillfully pulled it up.
Immediately afterwards, the black-robed creature also caught a black fish with a straight hook, and was also skillfully pulled up.
It was only then that Jiang Chen saw that the fish guards next to them actually had more than a dozen vivid fish, and the gray light and black light coexisted, clearly distinguishing each other.
Unable to figure out what the two creatures were up to, Jiang Chen didn't ask and continued to observe.
I don’t know how many years have passed!
When the creature in white robe caught another gray fish, he suddenly stopped fishing: "Old man, you lost a step, but I won."
After the black-robed creature pulled in a black fish, he snorted coldly: "Not necessarily."
The white-robed creature laughed loudly: "You and I have fought countless times, and it's time to stop."
Hearing this, the black-robed creature suddenly looked at Jiang Chen: "Do you understand?"
Jiang Chen frowned, swept back and forth among the fish guards of the two creatures, and then said: "What the two seniors are fishing for is not fish, but the power of Hunyuan and martial arts battle realm."
As soon as these words came out, the two creatures burst into laughter at the same time.
"Children can be taught!"
"clever."
Hearing the compliments from the two people, Jiang Chen was extremely shocked.
His guess was correct. These two people should be what Zhong Ling said. The two disappeared great masters. One created his own Hunyuan power, the other created his own martial arts battle realm, and created the original world of cultivation today. The system’s first prophetic power.
I just didn't expect to meet the two of them here.
At this time, the white-robed creature suddenly asked: "Children, do you think it's a pity that the Hunyuan Golden Body that you finally cultivated has been destroyed?"
"Do you regret it?" The black-robed creature suddenly asked.
Facing the question they suddenly asked, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It's a pity, but I definitely don't regret it."
"Why?" they both asked in unison.
"Why should I regret the choice I made?" Jiang Chen said word by word.
Hearing this, the two creatures, black and white, looked at each other.
Then, the white-robed creature frowned: "Zhong Ling is your fake body, and she is helping you with her life. That is her destiny, why refuse her?"
"Since it is a spirit, it has spirituality." Jiang Chen said slowly: "We get along day and night, we share weal and woe, we have already shared life and death, and I sacrificed her to fulfill my destiny. Even if I ask for the ultimate, what's the point?"
After hearing this, the creature in white robe looked at the creature in black robe, with a flash of surprise on his face.
"If you ask the highest question, you can control any living being." The black-robed creature stared at Jiang Chen: "You have the power in your hand. All living beings are ants. Your destiny is controlled by you. You make the laws. Are you still unmoved?"
"The two seniors just recited a song of righteousness, right?" Jiang Chen looked at them with a smile: "Then I will answer the two seniors with a famous saying from human beings."
"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as gullible dogs. The saints are unkind and regard the common people as gullible dogs."
As soon as these words came out, the two creatures, black and white, were shocked at the same time, and their eyes on Jiang Chen became sharp.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen asked: "If the most powerful person who controls all living things cannot achieve equality for all living beings and can take whatever he wants, then what is the meaning of the existence of the most powerful person? "
After hearing this, the two creatures in black robes suddenly fell silent.
"Two seniors, this junior has been practicing all the way and has gained some understanding." Jiang Chen looked at the two of them with a smile: "I sometimes ask myself, why do I practice?"
"For immortality, for adventure, for great ambitions, or for the sake of truly being able to achieve greatness?"
"Perhaps, other living beings will have various reasons and purposes, but in the eyes of the younger generation, any living being who practices with purpose and reasons cannot aspire to the true path. Even if it reaches the top, it will be a catastrophe for all living beings."
The creature in black robe glanced at the creature in white robe and asked again: "Then what is your purpose?"
"This junior is a mortal on earth." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "I was forced by the current situation to pursue my wife, and I had no choice but to get to where I am now step by step."
"For me, the road to the throne is not as comfortable as having a wife and children on the hot bed. As for my cultivation, I have to go down it purely out of self-preservation, because the enemies that prevent me from finding my wife are too strong."
After hearing this, the creature in white robe burst out laughing: "You are quite honest and true enough."
"If you aspire to the great road and you are asked to formulate rules, how will you formulate them?" The black-robed creature was still staring at Jiang Chen.
"Why do we need to formulate laws?" Jiang Chen asked back: "All living things are different in their own way, and each has its own destiny. Just let everything take its course."
"What about the distinction between good and evil?" The white-robed creature looked at Jiang Chen: "Does it mean that there is no need for good and evil?"
"If there is no righteousness, how can there be evil?" Jiang Chen spread his hands towards them: "Who has the ability to really determine who is righteous, who is evil, who is good, and who is evil?"
Facing Jiang Chen's words, the black and white creatures took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time.
After a while, the creature in white robe said with emotion: "Old man, do you know why the master stripped us?"
"I know." The old man in black robe sighed softly: "As long as our desires exist, I will never be able to aspire to the great road."
"What an enlightenment!" The old man in white robe looked at Jiang Chen and sighed softly: "Let's fulfill our master's wish."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and all the gray fish in the fish guard were swept into the void by a powerful force.
At the same time, the black-robed creature also waved his hand, and the black fish in his fish guard flew into the void.
Immediately afterwards, the black fish and the gray fish formed a human shape in the void. With the continuous blessing and shaping of the power of the two creatures, a human skeleton composed of gray and black colors was formed in the void.
The moment the human skeleton was completed, two majestic forces burst out.
Jiang Chen could feel that the aura of the black power was from the martial arts battle realm, and needless to say, the other was the power of Hunyuan.
After the skeleton of two colors of gray and black was completed, it hung in the void and slowly glowed, and was finally enveloped by a majestic golden light.
