Chapter 578
Wei Tao is very fast, constantly traveling through the long river of time and space.
The surroundings were sparkling, leaving a faint trace behind.
Just like a fish swimming under the water, there will be ripples wherever it passes.
Soon after, Wei Tao was far away from the Mark of the Supervisor.
He slowed down at this moment and looked back.
His eyes fell into the depths of the sparkling light, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although the ripples in the distance have completely disappeared.
After careful inspection, there seemed to be no traces left.
But since the Supervisor's boat sailed and an unknown amount of time passed, he could still leave a faint mark, which means that the complete disappearance he thought he had may not really mean that he can no longer sense it.
If the supervisor has special detection methods, then even if he has escaped this far, he will never be able to say that he has reached a safe area.
Wei Tao thought silently, the name of the supervisor lingering in his heart, and then he deeply felt the throbbing rising in his heart, and a certain idea was ready to come out at this moment, until he broke through the fog and occupied all his thoughts.
That Ye Bianzhou and the people who went boating left traces in the long river of time and space, and it is very likely that they are another pair of "eyes" used by the inspectors to patrol.
Or to put it another way, the mark is the fishing line left by the supervisor in the long river of time and space, waiting for the fish that exceeds the limit to pass by, and then he can follow the trace to fish it up.
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Tao immediately accelerated his speed again and swam farther away.
It is even necessary to avoid the area where they first came to prevent the supervisor from following the traces and bringing unforeseen crises to the real world.
During this process, the status bar appeared again.
After continuous improvement in the art interface, Hongmeng Taoist body has reached a state of proficiency.
Name: Hongmeng Dao Body.
Progress: seventy percent.
Status: Perfect.
Description: The beginning of Hongmeng and the foundation of the universe.
"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of Hongmeng Taoist practice."
Wei Tao touched his no longer bulging belly and felt the speed of life flowing away under the long river of time and space. After thinking silently for a long time, he finally decided not to continue. .
The practice of the Hongmeng Taoist body has taken a toll on the body to an almost terrifying degree.
Especially as the progress continues to improve, the resources required have increased explosively.
For example, not long ago, he just improved the progress of Hongmeng Dao Body from sixty to seventy, and then consumed most of the energy transformed by the external demon Xi Jinxian and the Lord of the Universe Ji Luo.
The remaining small part must be retained to cope with the erosion of time and cannot be used casually.
Therefore, although facing possible pursuit by the supervisors, Wei Tao had no choice but to temporarily stop his cultivation and improvement before the next supply was carried out, and instead ran while looking for prey.
Whether it's an external demon or a world, as long as it's something edible, he won't refuse anything.
The long river of time and space flows slowly, and time washes away all things like water.
All the creatures wandering in the river are exchanging the thickness of their lives for the time scale, until their bodies are shattered and their souls disappear, and everything will return to zero in an instant.
Even at Wei Tao's level, he obviously felt a little uncomfortable.
Time passed little by little.
I don't know how long later, Wei Tao suddenly felt something in his heart and turned his head to look in a certain direction to the left.
The sparkling light there seems to be a little different from elsewhere.
There was also a mouth-watering energy breath that quietly overflowed from that place.
"The absence of the power of annihilation is not the mark left by the supervisor."
"So, either there is an external demon hidden there, or there is a trace of the world showing up in the long river of time and space."
Wei Tao had a thought in his mind and immediately changed his direction and accelerated towards there.
………………
……………………
Dark void, peaceful and silent.
A stream of light was passing through it silently.
This is a middle-aged man with a high official title.
He passed through one realm after another without stopping.
It wasn't until he saw a sea of fire burning out of thin air from a distance that he showed a thoughtful expression and slowly stopped at the edge.
"I didn't know that Lord Long Yu was coming in person, so I hope you can forgive me for missing my welcome from afar."
Accompanied by a soft female voice, the red gold flames slowly parted in front of the middle-aged man, revealing a golden hall in the depths.
The palace door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman in palace clothes walked out.
Following her appearance, flames rose suddenly, scorching the void into distortions.
"Venerable Qiyan, you're welcome."
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded slightly, "Time flies by like water. I didn't expect that since the last time we met, Venerable Qiyan's cultivation level has improved greatly. I am afraid that he is only a few meters away from the Twelve Guardian Saints." a step far."
The woman in palace clothes was silent for a long time, but she sighed and shook her head.
"Master Long Yu was joking. At the level you and I are at, it seems that we are only one floor away from the Twelve Guardians, but this floor goes straight into the sky. No matter how hard we try, we can only reach I can just stand downstairs and look up.
What's more, the Great Guardian once said that there are twelve holy places in the world. Since the one who broke the barrier and achieved the Holy Body thousands of years ago, everything has become a certainty. No matter how hard we practice, we have lost the sanctification. opportunity.
But this is not bad. The twelve holy guardians are stationed in all corners of the universe. The hardships and difficulties are beyond our imagination. We can practice and improve step by step under their protection. How can we have other thoughts that should not appear? "
After a pause, she continued, "After chatting so much, I don’t know why Venerable Long Yu came to find me?"
"I came here for nothing important this time."
The middle-aged man said, "I just came to invite fellow Daoist Qi Yan to a banquet at the request of Venerable Guang Yuan."
"Banquet?"
Qi Yan was slightly startled, and immediately caused a large area of golden flames to roll and surge, spreading and rising in all directions.
After a moment, she suddenly showed a look of realization, "Is it the time for the holy fruit of time that Venerable Guang Yuan planted in accordance with the Holy Decree of the Great Guardian to mature again?"
"Fellow Daoist Qi Yan is right. It has been a hundred years since our last gathering. It is time for us to meet again. "
She was silent for a long time, and then sighed again, "Time flies, time flies, I didn't expect that I have been in seclusion for decades..."
"Huh?"
"I have never had this strange feeling before."
Qi Yan stopped talking halfway, and then stopped talking without any sign.
She looked puzzled, and her eyes passed through the surging red-gold flames and looked at the dark void farther away.
"Does Venerable Long Yu feel that someone seems to be watching us in secret?"
Before the other party could answer, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and murmured in a tone that was almost like a dream, "I saw it, it was a pair of eyes, huge eyes that almost covered the dark void. "
Although he has cultivated to the realm of the Venerable.
Except for the twelve guardian saints, he is definitely at the top of the heavens and billions of lives.
But at this moment, neither Qi Yan nor Long Yu has any intention to go and investigate.
It is because the appearance of those eyes has brought them too much pressure, even more than the guardian saint they faced at the beginning.
Feeling the gaze that seemed to come from outside the void, the two of them subconsciously stepped back, inexplicably feeling a terrible chill all over their bodies.
Time passed little by little.
But they were no longer aware of the passage of time.
They only knew that no matter how far they stepped back, they seemed unable to escape the gaze of those eyes.
It It has been lying in the depths of the dark void, casting its eyes without any emotion, like a giant that cannot be described in words, observing the contents through the bottle mouth.
It even wants to open the tightly closed bottle cap and reach its hand in from outside the bottle.
Suddenly, a ripple spread quietly.
There was also a light sound, lingering in the ears of the two.
A pale arm appeared quietly.
It was like pushing open a door, descending here silently.
Qi Yan and Long Yu suddenly came to their senses and turned their heads to look there at the same time.
At a glance, the two people who were originally shrouded in endless fear suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and even their agitated thoughts were instantly calmed.
"Meet the Guardian Saint."
They bowed together, with extremely respectful gestures.
A young woman walked out from behind the "door".
She nodded slightly, but did not speak, but looked up directly at the dark void, her eyes falling on the center of the increasingly clear and approaching illusory eyes.
"When did these eyes appear? "
After a moment, the guardian saint spoke slowly, his tone calm and gentle.
"To reply to the saint, about a quarter of an hour ago, the junior was talking to Qi Yan, and it appeared without any sign at this time."
"It appeared a quarter of an hour ago?"
The guardian frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly, "You have nothing to do here, do what you should do, and don't stay here to hinder my casting."
The two bowed their heads and responded without any dissatisfaction.
There was no pride in front of other practitioners, only great respect and humility.
After the two left, the young woman moved lightly, and appeared in front of the illusory eyes in an instant.
The eyes seemed to see her, and a light suddenly lit up in the eyes.
It was like a hungry tiger seeing a fresh and delicious lamb.
The young woman sighed faintly, and her hands slowly formed a seal in front of her.
In an instant, a bright light rose, instantly illuminating the endless dark void.
Just At the same time, lights shone in all other directions.
A total of twelve rays of light connected into one, and finally merged into one place.
A misty figure that spanned the void was transformed, like a supreme miracle that appeared in the entire universe.
Boom!!!
The dark void shook violently.
The space shattered inch by inch, and a terrifying repulsive force broke out.
In an instant, it covered the illusory eyes.
Bang!!!
As if he had been hit head-on, Wei Tao leaned back suddenly, slightly away from the looming barrier in front of him.
"The closer you get to here, the stronger the repulsive force you can feel."
"It's quite interesting, but not much."
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes flashing with eager excitement, and he slowly clenched his fingers into a fist and raised his palm.
But the next moment, Wei Tao loosened his fist again and turned his head to look at the shimmering waves beside him.
"Because your strength level is too strong, you will naturally be rejected by the entire world. This is also a fact that I have verified many times."
An illusory figure quietly appeared and bowed slowly to him.
This is an old man with white beard and hair, and his appearance is exactly the same as the ethereal figure that spans the void of the universe.
Wei Tao's throat surged subconsciously, but a gentle smile appeared on his face, "You are quite interesting, and there are a lot of them."
"I just saw twelve practitioners through the barrier, and thought they were the twelve guardian saints mentioned by those two little guys.
But after meeting you, I discovered that there are twelve so-called saints in the world, but you are actually the only one. "
The old man's face moved slightly, and then he sighed softly, "Your Excellency's eyes are like a torch, and you can see who I am at a glance, which really makes me admire you the most."
At this point, he sighed secretly again, "But if it weren't for this, I would have crossed that dangerous boundary a long time ago, attracting the attention of the supervisors, causing catastrophe, and even possibly destroying the entire world. Shattered destruction.
Therefore, the old man has no choice but to cut himself apart and turn into a school of fish, thereby lowering the level of individual cultivation and thus avoiding the sight of the supervisor's eye. "
"Becoming a school of fish is quite an interesting metaphor."
Wei Tao's eyes flashed, and he asked with great interest, "What do you know, and what cultivation path this is, can you tell me in detail?"
The old man was silent for a moment, thinking slowly and said, "The long river of time and space flows endlessly, and all kinds of creatures are like fish swimming in the river. They drift with the current involuntarily and have no idea where they will go. In the end, they can only end their lives in ignorance. .
And when a group of practitioners appears, they have stronger power than ordinary creatures, and if they are passed down from generation to generation, they will naturally stand taller and see farther.
Especially those with extraordinary talents and profound blessings may be able to jump out of the water briefly and try to see what is going on in front of them. They can take the opportunity to avoid the many rapids and reefs in the current and swim further. "
"Later, in order to fight against the dangers of the long river of time and space, different fish took different paths. Some worked hard to make their bodies stronger. Even if they were caught in the rapids or hit by the reef, they could survive with their hard bodies. ”
"Some have learned to control the surrounding water flow and find ways to create a safe area for themselves. It can also be regarded as a small boat sailing in the river. As long as the boat does not capsize, there is no danger of destruction."
"Others find another way to split themselves into more, from one fish to a school of fish. In this way, even if a large number of individuals die, as long as they are not all killed in a short period of time, they will not fall into a real crisis.
It’s just that this path of cultivation has both good and bad qualities. The good thing is that as long as you divide it enough, your individual strength will never touch the dangerous limit, and naturally it will not attract the eyes of the supervisor.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, once separated, it is almost equivalent to blocking further thoughts, and it will be even more difficult to break through the boundaries and climb up.
If you are unlucky and an external demon comes to your door, the end you will end up with may be even more miserable than when the monitor comes. "
When the old man said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "But from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone who can truly escape from the water. It's like a fish growing wings that can fly, and being able to soar freely in the long river of time and space." outside.
From now on, you no longer have to worry about being torn apart and swallowed up by the passage of time, nor do you have to worry about being cleared and captured by the patrolling supervisors. "
"Cut yourself up, lower your cultivation level, and avoid the supervisor's inspection gaze, so you just cut yourself into twelve pieces in one go?"
Wei Tao paused for a moment, and felt inexplicably emotional when he spoke again, "Twelve great cultivators who are only one step away from the Lord of the Universe, and who are at the top of their game without any injuries or illnesses. Even for me, I need to cheer up and take them seriously. , I don’t know if I can finish it in one meal.”
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I don't think I have that ability. It's just that it took countless years from the time when I was about to break through the dangerous limit for the first time, before I ended up in this situation now."
As the old man spoke, he stretched out an arm, and in the center of his illusory palm, several crystal clear fruits shone brightly.
"Your Excellency has come a long way. As the master of this place, I should have hosted a banquet to entertain you. However, there are some problems in the world, so it is a little inconvenient for you to come in and rest.
These are several holy fruits that condense the essence of the universe. They are the only thing that this old man can get. They can relieve fatigue and replenish vitality. I hope you will not dislike them. "
Gudong! ! !
Wei Tao's throat surged again, and after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head.
He rubbed his sharp finger claws, and brilliant fire broke out, even disrupting the sparkling light.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing this, the old man's expression couldn't help but change again, and his tone became much more cautious when he spoke.
"My meaning is very simple. I thought you could see it clearly, but you insisted on saying it regardless of my status."
Wei Tao pointed to the barrier not far away, and his ferocious claws burst into flames again, "Your sincerity is not enough for me to leave with satisfaction."
