Chapter 1833: Ashes
After the door was half-closed, the noise in the shop became much quieter.
Xu Xiaoshou did not follow in. He listened to the movement inside outside the door under the setting sun. He was touched, but completely detached.
"Time Dao Disk (43%)."
"Time Dao Disk (44%)."
"..."
He followed the time Dao Disk step by step, without forgetting his original intention.
He was just realizing the Tao, walking the long river of time, and experiencing the past.
In fact, even Xu Xiaoshou himself felt that his predecessor's personality was a little too similar to his own, and both were a little bit mean.
But he knew.
He is him, and I am me.
Just like the perceptions of the worldly world that still tried to interrupt his enlightenment from time to time from Jinren.
If I completely put myself in the shoes of "him" and regard "me" as "him", perhaps self-confinement is the result, and the empty hatred is a lesson from the past.
If you get involved in the long river of time, you will get lost if your original heart and Tao heart are unstable.
So...
"Time, or what?"
Every time the progress bar of the Time Dao disk increases, the answer is different.
This time, looking at the setting sun, thinking about the old and the young.
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly realized that time is youth, inheritance, still beating blood, and gradually calming old age.
But can these really represent all of time?
The perception given by the Time Dao disk is extremely clear, and each one is a definite answer.
Xu Xiaoshou got a lot, but because he got too much, he was confused. He couldn't see through and understand the essence of time, and all of it?
"Not enough!"
"Keep going!"
While exchanging the Dao seeds, he waited outside the shop.
Not long after, another voice came from inside, the old and the young responded to each other, they were nurturing the fairest new life under the dimension of time.
"Blood!"
"Come on, old Li, how much do you want? I'll give you enough of this kind that doesn't cost spirit crystals!"
"Then fill it up."
"Uh, I was kidding..."
"Hehe, isn't it 'fill it up'... Wait, why are you cutting your wrists, Xu Xiaoshou, are you going to commit suicide? Blood refining, what we want is blood essence!"
"Blood essence?"
"You don't even know how to take blood essence? I give up, a rookie in the third level of spirit refining, how can you break through the fourth level like this?"
"Hey, old Li, how do you know that I'm going to break through the fourth level in a closed state?"
"Young man, don't keep talking about death."
"What for? Close the dead, close the dead, close the dead, I'm saying that I'm determined! If I don't succeed, I'll die!"
"Oh, whatever you say."
"What do you mean then!"
"Avoid prophecy, understand?"
"Wow! It's done... light! Light! It's done hiding the bitterness! I'm going to do it too! Uncle Li! I love you! Chirp chirp~"
...
The surrounding scene changed again.
Xu Xiaoshou left at the same moment when Zang Ku's spiritual essence was born.
He knew the result, Zang Ku's, and his predecessor Xu Xiaoshou's. He suddenly feared that he would be impulsive and walk into the shop to disrupt the past.
Respecting time is also the feeling he got from the Time Dao Plate.
"Time is destined."
"Every time it seems to be tampered with and changed, it has already been destined in fate, and it is also clearly marked."
This can't help but remind people of the fact that Suyin changed the reality in the past and forcibly performed a technique to reverse the past.
Of course, Xu Xiaoshou also tampered with time.
He found Ai Cangsheng in the past, asked many things, and told some secrets.
The price doesn't seem to be that big?
Or, who helped him bear this price?
"Time Dao Plate (50%)."
"Time Dao Plate (60%)."
"Time Dao Plate (70%)."
"..."
The Dao Seed continued to be managed, and the passive value was consumed like water, and Xu Xiaoshou continued to move forward along the long river of time.
He walked from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard and met many old friends.
There were Wen Chong, Feng Kong, Zhang Xinxiong...
He walked out of the Tiansang Palace, came to Tiansang City, and went to the City Lord's Mansion. He ran into familiar faces again.
There were Hong Gou, Shouye, and the son of the City Lord's Mansion, Fu Xing...
Some lives were still alive, and some old friends had passed away. Xu Xiaoshou wanted to stop several times.
He felt that he only needed to reach out and touch them, just like touching the suffering, to touch their lives.
"Time is a record and history."
In the long river of time, nothing can escape.
Xu Xiaoshou did not offend.
Even if he felt a little sympathetic to the special red-clothed senior Shouye and his experience under the deep sea, he had tried his best at the time, and now he chose to respect the result.
"The end of time is death?"
"What about the source?"
Looking at the source of the long river of time, it is not clear.
Xu Xiaoshou took firm steps and waded forward, so Tiansang City soon weathered, and the Eight Palaces arrived as expected, and then to the White Cave...
From here on, the people he met gradually became smart, and some could even respond.
He saw the Wuyue Sword Immortal.
It turned out that he had arrived early, with many white clothes, and set up defenses outside the White Cave.
The low-key Gou Wuyue was the first person to have a strange look in his eyes, but did not turn back to look at him.
"Ten Venerable Seats, still strong..."
He entered the White Cave and met Yu Zhiwen again, and experienced the birth of Yanmang together.
Yanmang!
Like Zangku, Xu Xiaoshou did not hesitate and stepped forward to touch the sword, which was his sword.
"Buzz!"
After a shock, he reentered the illusion and met a saint with shackles on his hands and feet, looking a little embarrassed.
Not a half-saint.
He is a Saint Emperor, one of the three ancestors of the White Vein of Void Island, the Ancestor Jinzhao!
"Xu Xiaoshou?"
Time Changhe Guo and Kong Yuhen were right. The will he touched here can be communicated.
I just don't know when I can see Zhan Zu...
Ancestor Jinzhao sent a doubtful thought. From his voice, he could tell that he was trapped between the past and the present. The only thing that made him clear between the two was the Saint Emperor's powerful cultivation.
Not long after, he reacted. This was not the Xu Xiaoshou of the past, but the Xu Xiaoshou of the future. What he saw was not the present him, but the past him.
"Where are you?" Ancestor Jinzhao was curious.
"Where are you?" Xu Xiaoshou asked instead of answering.
"Ghost Buddha."
When the Ghost Buddha was born, all the black and white double-veined Saint Emperors of Void Island came out to protect Sang Lao, and blessed Wuxiu·Chijiao body, becoming the host of Youyuan Buddha.
So far, not only the old ancestor Jinzhao, but also Longbao and others are in the body of the Ghost Buddha.
"How is the Ghost Buddha?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
"We can't hold on for too long. According to the words of Shenyu Qingshi, maybe there is only a quarter of an hour left, or maybe even less."
A quarter of an hour?
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt that time was getting tight.
He was afraid that he couldn't finish the long river of time in a quarter of an hour. When Hua Changdeng came out, would Ba Zun'an help him protect the way, or turn around to deal with him?
Kong Yuhen originally wanted this, was he delaying time?
Or was it just a coincidence?
"Ah——"
The Demon Emperor Black Dragon was very happy and squeezed over excitedly. He saw his old friend again.
After taking a step back, Xu Xiaoshou did not greet Longbao, but retreated to the White Cave, went to the crack of the different-dimensional space, and met Ba Zun'an.
Ba Zun'an brought Cen Qiaofu, who was still able to move, and the storyteller.
The latter two did not react, but Lao Ba was strong, and he immediately noticed something unusual and looked at each other.
"It seems that there is not much time left, only a quarter of an hour left." Xu Xiaoshou reminded, waiting for Ba Zun'an's choice.
Ba Zun'an said nothing and nodded to him.
"Speak!"
Ba Zun'an still did not speak, and after a long pause, he stretched out his fist.
During this period, he only had eight fingers, and his clenched fist stretched out, which made people feel puzzled.
Want to touch fists?
Xu Xiaoshou also stretched out his hand and touched it gently.
Ba Zun'an was stunned, retracted his hand, and did not touch.
The sword thought slowly wrapped around his broken finger, and finally took shape, condensing into a thumb pointing up...
"..."
Xu Xiaoshou bared his teeth and rolled his eyes to the sky.
The sound of water went behind, and time was moving forward. Ba Zun'an was soon destroyed, and all the living and dead things in the white cave were also destroyed.
The grass and trees return to the land, the water retreats and the mountains emerge.
Everything is bizarre, this is the evolution of time.
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly thought of his junior sister who went to the cross street corner. The White Cave has now become her little world.
But the predecessor of the White Cave was the Seven-section Forbidden Ashes and Prison Sea.
The upper limit of the Seven-section Forbidden is the Ancestral God. There is the Dragon Cave related to the Dragon Ancestor, the Void Island related to the Sky Ancestor, and the Flower Fragrance Hometown related to Hua Weiyang and the Medicine Ancestor...
There must be something mysterious about the Ashes and Prison Sea!
Xu Xiaoshou wanted to take a look at the Ashes and Prison Sea to see if there was anything special, strange, or guiding hidden deep inside!
His mind moved.
This different-dimensional space quickly retreated to the past and became a place full of vicissitudes and ancient atmosphere.
"Boom!"
The cracked sky, the erupting volcano, and the land with frequent earthquakes.
After the Ashes and Prison Sea was restored, it became two extremes with the "gentleness" of the White Cave. It was difficult to find a place to stay. It was simply a doomsday scene.
As the light and shadow changed, a strong aura of sealing emerged from the crack, and it was Feng Yujin, the Holy Emperor of Sealing Heaven.
Xu Xiaoshou once again met the Red-clothed Night Watchman and others. This group of people was originally guarding the Sea of Ashes and arrived in time.
But soon, under the power of the seal, they all fell limply.
Feng Yujin didn't kill many people. After sneaking out of the Void Island, he used the Sea of Ashes as a springboard, passed through the Eight Palaces, and went to the Holy Divine Continent - keeping a low profile.
His story, in the next step, is to live in Mo Mo.
Under the tangled will of Feng Yujin, who didn't dare to refuse to perform the Holy Slave mission, but wanted to be free and unrestrained, Mo Mo entered the agreed Tiansang Spiritual Palace on the one hand, wanting to contact the Holy Slave Wuxiu.
On the other hand, he was quite hesitant, dormant for many years, and didn't contact him in the end. When he was beaten by himself in Tianxuanmen, the dignified Holy Emperor didn't dare to break through the shackles of the Grandmaster, and chose to sleep.
Feng Yujin is an escapist.
Those who can escape cannot be sealed as Saint Emperors.
Who said "It is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature"? It can only be said that the greatness of time has changed even the original intention of the Saint Emperor!
"Time is change..."
Xu Xiaoshou did not pay much attention to Feng Yujin, who was born in the Ashes of Prison Sea. He was worried about his junior sister and continued to observe the evolution of the Seven Forbidden Breaks.
After a very long time, perhaps hundreds or thousands of years, he saw the regeneration of the Ashes of Prison Sea.
An ancient and huge tree, rooted in the sky, grew upside down, and the crown of the tree blossomed and bore fruit. As if pulled by gravity, a fire seed fell off and fell here.
Ancestral tree, the tree of the sky!
Heavenly fire, the heart of Ashes of Prison!
"Puff--"
The white flame swept the entire Ashes of Prison Sea, igniting space, Taoism, and everything.
The fire seed fell to the ground, and no one noticed it at all.
It then swallowed and exhaled the essence of heaven and earth, absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and finally cultivated and created a human form.
As soon as it was born, it was at the semi-saint realm!
"The predecessor of the ancestor Jinzhao..."
Xu Xiaoshou was amazed. This time, he realized that something was wrong without saying hello.
The Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man was canonized with the Blood World Pearl, but it was actually a false saint.
In essence, he was still in the Taixu realm, but he mastered the holy power, and with the blessing of the major absolute bodies, his combat power was higher than the holy power.
If the ancestor Jinzhao practiced the same way and was canonized with the heart of Jinzhao, then his real realm should also be Taixu, and he would definitely not be able to reach the realm of the Holy Emperor in the end.
"But he is already the Holy Emperor..."
The serious path of spiritual cultivation is to go up step by step to the semi-saint status, the Holy Emperor status, and the ancestor god status.
A check.
Xu Xiaoshou found out that when the ancestor Jinzhao was born, he had the semi-saint status - he was not a false saint!
Even, it seems that there is still the breath of the Saint Emperor in his foundation, just waiting for the right time and enough luck to rise to the top.
"Where did his semi-saint status and Saint Emperor status come from?"
Xu Xiaoshou was terrified when he thought about it carefully. He knew that even if the Sky Tree was the ancestral tree, there was no reason for it to breed the Heavenly Fire, and it could also breed the status.
He stared at the Sky Tree that suddenly became weird.
The ancient ancestral tree rooted in the sky gradually faded and was about to disappear after completing the mission of breeding the Heavenly Fire.
Xu Xiaoshou took a step forward, ascended to the sky, and came to the roots of the Sky Tree, and slowly stretched out his hand.
He wanted to touch it!
He wanted to spy on the reasons why the ancestral tree fell into the Ashes of Prison Sea, gave birth to the Ancestor Ashes of Prison, and bestowed the two major statuses.
Based on intuition, he felt that this was not a coincidence.
On the contrary, it was extremely deliberate!
"Friend..."
But just when his hand was about to touch the Sky Tree, a low call came from his ear, which immediately made Xu Xiaoshou anxious.
He turned his head and looked, and the Ancient and Modern Forget-Your-Worries Tower stood beside him without knowing when, just above the long river of time!
There was no Mei Siren or Ba Zun'an in the tower.
With a subtle smile, Kong Yuhen sat quietly in front of the tea table with a teacup in his hand, squinting at himself.
"Brother Anxiety, what are you doing!" Xu Xiaoshou scolded.
As soon as the voice fell, the Ancient and Modern Forget-Yours Tower disappeared, and Kong Yuhen, with a gloomy face, also returned to the appearance of a jade-faced scholar.
He frowned, stood side by side with himself, looked sideways at the Sky Tree, and pressed Xu Xiaoshou's arm:
"Friend, I need to remind you that this is also an important time node. My suggestion is to come back later."
"How important is it?" Xu Xiaoshou looked at him, not wanting to miss the opportunity.
Old Sang is already in that state. He has few relatives left, and the little apprentice sister is one of them, no matter if she is Mu Zixi or Lei Xier.
There is something wrong with the white cave, and there is something wrong with the sea of heaven.
This is all related to the safety of the little apprentice sister, especially at this critical juncture where she has already entered the crossroads.
If he doesn't find out the truth today, he will not be able to sleep every night.
Kong Yuhen said: "Just like the time node of the war ancestor I want to give you, this is also a time node of the ancestor god, and this friend, He is not easy to talk to."
"Who?"
Kong Yuhen shook his head and did not answer.
His face was heavy, and he was very worried about Xu Xiaoshou's safety. It was hard to tell whether he was pretending, playing hard to get, or expressing his true feelings.
Xu Xiaoshou was entangled.
The Sky Tree was about to disappear.
Although Kong Yuhen said that he could "come back later", what if the ancestor god at this time node noticed the abnormality of "being spied on".
Come back later, will He have been prepared?
"Do you want to go?"
Just as he was weighing the pros and cons, another voice came from another place beside him, and this voice seemed extremely peaceful.
Xu Xiaoshou turned his head and looked over, it was still the Ancient and Modern Forget-Your-Worries Tower.
Bazun'an leaned against the wooden door, his hands folded across his chest, his face calm, looking at him quietly.
"I want to!" Xu Xiaoshou did not hesitate.
Bazun'an completely ignored Kong Yuhen's existence and stop, nodded slightly, and said lightly:
"Go if you want to, leave the rest to me."
