Alienated Martial Arts

The surrounding area is empty and dim.

There were no signs of life anywhere around it.

But just under this circumstance, an extra "person" suddenly appeared at the bow of the ship.

It only took a moment to turn around and look back, no more than half a breath at most, before he appeared in front of him without any warning.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes slightly and took a closer look at the twisted shadow.

Since it was able to hide from his perception, even the Thousand Hands under the boat did not give any warning, which shows that this guy's origins are very unusual.

I don’t know if it was because of its appearance that the golden light emitted by the Judge slowed down, to the point where it became slower and slower and almost stagnated.

So, what is the origin of this guy with a head and limbs, sitting cross-legged on the side of the boat?

Is there any connection in any sense with the war that happened so long ago?

Thinking further, although it looks vaguely like a twisted human form, it is not certain whether it is a human body or not, and it may even not exist.

Could it be that this twisted shadow could be her companion, the great supernatural being who traveled upstream from the long river of time and space?

Such an idea flashed through Wei Tao's mind, but he was immediately denied by himself.

If it were the original great supernatural being, it would have been impossible for the light of judgment to slow down and even stagnate.

After all, he had seen with his own eyes the power of the Judge and the terrifying oppression brought by that golden ocean.

Even if he explodes various acupoints and the menstrual blood network vibrates and resonates with all his strength, plus she sacrifices her true soul to the sword, her strength level will instantly reach the level of breaking through the four shackles, and the two sides will join forces to attack and the power will be seamlessly blended. , unable to gain the upper hand in the hands of her sister.

Perhaps this is why magical powers are no match for heaven.

The superior judge represents a power stronger than the great supernatural power.

Wei Tao was still on guard and cautiously observing, but waves suddenly rose in the depths of his consciousness.

Because at this moment, he actually heard a low sigh, coming quietly from the twisted shadow at the bow of the ship.

What surprised him even more was that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, it was as if he had practiced mind-reading skills that ignored all defenses. He was able to directly understand what he was thinking and speak out directly.

"What about the great supernatural power? The supernatural power cannot defeat the power of karma. However, I am imprisoned here and use the power of all supernatural powers to turn all living beings upside down, even if they are close, they cannot be seen."

As the twisted shadow spoke, he slowly stood up from the bow of the ship, turned around and looked towards the darkness at the end of the dim light, as if there was a great secret there.

boom!

The moment this voice sounded, it was as if a storm of chaos suddenly exploded deep in Wei Tao's consciousness.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and felt great pressure as if he heard Huang Zhong Da Lu.

There was also an uncontrollable feeling of fatigue that suddenly arose at the same time.

too tired.

This kind of exhaustion is not physical, but a sign of exhaustion from the spirit, from the depths of the soul.

I just wanted to put everything behind me, lie down on the boat and have a good sleep.

Wow…

The dim waves rippled quietly.

Without moving the wooden oar, the boat started to sail on its own, moving faster and faster.

In an instant, he had crossed an unknown distance and plunged deeper into the dull, oppressive waves of deathly silence.

The golden light behind has become distant.

In this inky wave of light, its existence is almost invisible.

Wei Tao's face was expressionless, his mind moved as his heart moved, and Hongmeng Dao Body suddenly exerted force.

The blood network acupoints vibrated and resonated, swallowing and absorbing the newly formed crystals behind the amputated palm. At this moment, they all lit up with pale golden light. In an instant, the blood network traveled throughout the body, and finally concentrated the power on both hands.

Wow! ! !

The wooden paddle paddled in the opposite direction, crushing large ink waves, and finally stopped the boat's tendency to accelerate forward.

During the entire process, the two forces fought against each other. The entire boat endured huge pressure, but it never suffered any damage. At most, the hull was a little turbulent and rocking, and not even a trace of oily skin was wiped off.

It was only then that Wei Tao suddenly discovered that the waves rippling outside the boat no longer exuded light cyan and gold, but turned into endless darkness that seemed to swallow up all other colors.

The twisted shadow seemed to blend into it, and the entire ink-colored wave was an extension of its body.

Only two eyes that lit up quietly were still shining brightly in front of the boat.

No, that's not a pair of eyes.

But three eyes.

Above the two pure white eyes, a black vertical pupil appeared like a dark night.

After the appearance of the three eyes, the ripples of dark light subsided.

The speed of Yiye Bianzhou also gradually slowed down, and soon it stopped.

He didn't move forward and truly entered the seemingly bottomless darkness.

Seeing this, Wei Tao suppressed the idea of ​​taking action for the time being, and prepared to wait and see what kind of medicine was sold in this ghostly twisted shadow gourd.

"Who are you?"

When he spoke, his hands still did not leave the oars, but he folded his palms and pressed them on his abdomen. He felt that the undigested index finger was no longer in the motionless and silent state before, but began to move slightly. Cha trembled slightly.

"It doesn't matter who I am."

"What's really important is that I can give you stronger power and give you greater confidence to transcend the long river of time and space until you cross the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other side."

"Beyond the long river of time and space, and set foot on the other side of the sea of ​​suffering?"

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, and a ray of light flashed through his eyes under the bamboo hat, "This ambition is so big that I don't even dare to think about it, but when you said it from your mouth, it seemed as if it was within easy reach."

The twisted shadow kept changing, and seemed to be laughing, "I was only one step away from doing it. Although I failed in the end, after a long period of thinking back, I am convinced that I have found the right direction."

"A person who travels a hundred miles can still outrun a horse by looking at the mountains. Sometimes it seems that there is only a layer of veil between them, and you only need to poke it a little to see the beautiful scenery. But until you really poke it away, no one can see the beautiful scenery." I don’t know what kind of mountains are hidden inside.

So what you said is only one step away. Maybe when you actually go out, you will realize that you are so far away and it is difficult to reach the end no matter what. "

When Wei Tao said this, the topic suddenly changed, "But I will assume that you have really found the method of transcendence and really want to teach it to me. Then the most critical question arises. I need to pay for it." What?"

"You don't have to give anything because it means nothing to me."

"oh?"

"Without any effort, you can get priceless secrets in the entire time and space?"

Wei Tao couldn't help but sigh, "I don't think I have such luck. So many practitioners have been here before, and most of them never saw people alive or dead, and a very few of them completely lost their minds. When it was my turn, Can the world be reversed and become a completely different situation?"

"What's more, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get something, you must first pay more. I don't think you don't know such a simple and easy-to-understand truth."

Wei Tao lowered his gaze, slightly twitching the corners of his lips under the bamboo hat, revealing a stiff smile, "So, Your Excellency is going to give me power when you come up, but it sounds funny."

"You are very cautious and don't want to believe me."

"But I still have to say, you are different from the other practitioners who fled here. They are not worthy of letting me come out to meet you, let alone sit down and talk to each other."

The three eyes of the twisted shadow blinked together, and there seemed to be a smile inside, "Of course, I can also understand your choice. After all, since this period of time and space was cut off and extracted, the raft we built to cross the world collapsed and destroyed, and all the big After all those with magical powers disappeared, the shackles of imprisonment became tighter and tighter, making subsequent practitioners more cautious, for fear that if they were not careful, they would fall into the sea of ​​suffering, even if they wanted to die and be freed."

When it said this, its voice suddenly became a little strange, "It's just that I'm also a little strange. Since you have the treasure given by her, you should be her chosen successor, but you still have doubts about my appearance. Could it be that she Never mentioned my name to you?"

Is it her, him, or it?

Who is this guy talking about?

And what does the treasure given and the chosen heir mean?

Wei Tao was slightly startled, feeling the roughness of the raincoat he was wearing and the slightly rocking boat under his feet. A certain thought was about to emerge in his heart, but he immediately cleared his mind and dispelled it.

This guy may have an inexplicable "mind-reading" ability, so it's better to be cautious in everything.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment and said in a calm tone, "What you said makes no sense. Since I entered the path of cultivation, everything I have done has been achieved with my own hands. I have never been given anything by anyone, let alone taken it." What kind of treasure is someone else’s?”

"is that so?"

Twisted Shadow seemed to sigh, "I really want to believe what you say, but the facts are there, but I can't believe it at all.

Because although your realm strength is very strong, you have already reached a high level of breaking the fourth shackles. Even among those who had great supernatural powers back then, you can be considered a relatively powerful figure, not those who broke the three shackles. Practitioners can compare.

But even so, I don't think you will be their sister's opponent, let alone that you can grab this boat and the hat and raincoat without any damage. "

"After all, these two things are the treasures she made for her sister, and they are inextricably linked to the real raft of the world. If they are not gifts, how can they be deceived from them by you?"

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "I'm confused, I don't know what to say, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Twisted Shadow sighed again, his mental fluctuations implying a feeling of remembrance, "You should know something, but they may not have mentioned my name to you."

Could this guy be one of those great supernatural beings?

And judging from the meaning it conveys, it seems to be a very important identity.

Either have a deep relationship with their sisters.

Or maybe there is a leader-level existence,

Otherwise, they would not be so sure and they would definitely mention its name.

However, Wei Tao thought that this guy seemed to be thinking too much.

After all, she didn't even mention her own name until the last moment of her life, so how could she specifically mention its origin.

A small boat ripples with the waves.

The boat was silent.

No one said anything, neither Wei Tao nor the twisted shadow, nor did they even make any movements or changes.

A man was standing at the stern of the boat holding a wooden oar. His eyes were half-open and half-closed under his bamboo hat, blocking the faint light that flashed through his eyes from time to time. He seemed to be integrated into the same boat, no longer distinguishable from each other.

A person was crouching quietly on the bow of the boat, but seemed to be far away.

Perhaps being here seems to be dispersing into the surrounding darkness, with the ink-colored waves rippling slightly.

The space below the ship was equally silent.

All the dragon beasts huddled together like frightened young beasts, completely unlike their ferocious and terrifying images.

All the tentacles of the Thousand Hands are close to the body, tightly wrapping and blocking the one-eye covered with dense bloodshot eyes.

It looked like it was dead.

But beneath the dense tentacles, the vertical pupil of the one eye revealed a light of incomparable fear, as if something more terrifying than the Inspector had appeared in front of it.

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Tao finally spoke slowly, breaking the dead silence and dull atmosphere.

"Your Excellency has just mentioned more than once the battle to extract and cut off the long river of time and space. Could it be that you are one of those people with great supernatural powers back then?"

The twisted shadow moved slightly, and then opened three eyes, one black and two white.

It seemed to let out a low sigh.

Even the surrounding dark waves were trembling.

"I am indeed one of them, but after that extremely tragic final battle, the body of the soul was cut apart and fell to both ends of the cliff.

So many years have passed, but they have not been able to break the blockade and return to the world. "

Wei Tao groped for the cold and smooth wooden oar, and asked with a thoughtful expression, "So what do you mean, senior, do you want me to combine your true soul and body into one, and rescue you from the cliff?" "

After he finished speaking and waited for a moment, he got an unexpected answer.

"No, I didn't mean that."

Twisted Shadow refused quite simply, "With your ability at this time, it is impossible to pull me out of this abyss.

Secondly, even if you have such ability, you should use it in more important places, instead of spending a lot of time and energy on me, only to save a mutilated waste in the end. "

This answer surprised Wei Tao.

All the plans and ideas in my mind suddenly had to be scrapped and started all over again.

While he was thinking to himself, a vague and uncertain voice sounded in his ears again.

"This time I manifested a ray of consciousness. I mainly noticed the arrival of this boat and felt a trace of her breath. That's why I pried open a crack in the confinement at any cost and briefly emerged from the dark abyss under the cliff of time and space. Opportunity.

I thought it was her who finally got rid of the shackles of the gate to the other side and escaped from the endless sea of ​​suffering. However, it turned out that it was not one of them, but you who appeared in front of me on a small raft. "

It paused for a moment, and its mental fluctuations showed a hint of sadness, "But you still have her breath in you. Does that mean she is no longer here?"

"Even if you become a judge who is better than a supervisor, you will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed and abandoned in the end?"

"Suddenly, I have this idea, and my state of mind is a little turbulent. I can no longer communicate with you, so you also have enough time to think carefully about whether you want to accept my gift and continue the road we have not yet completed. continue."

The sigh gradually faded away until it disappeared completely.

Correspondingly, the twisted shadow that appeared on the bow of the ship also disappeared without a trace.

The surrounding dark waves no longer surged, and even slowly receded like a tide, sinking into the deep area ahead like thick ink.

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. It was only then that he saw the terrifying fault lying in front of him.

Unknowingly, the boat had arrived near the "cliff".

That fault is so huge that if it were moved into the long river of time and space, it would probably cut off all the tributaries, and countless worlds would be destroyed in an instant.

Stare into the abyss and be stared into by the abyss.

An extremely depressing feeling came over me.

The body also slowly tightened involuntarily.

At this moment, Wei Tao suddenly remembered the last scene she conveyed to him.

Behind the Gate of the Other Shore, across the golden ocean, what you see is a dead darkness that seems to be irreversible.

There is an indescribable resemblance to the abyss below the cliff in front of me.

She was somewhat familiar with, more disgusted with, the darkness behind the golden ocean, and she also felt unspeakable fear.

It is precisely for this reason that when Wei Tao faced the twisted shadow, he tightened his heartstrings from beginning to end and did not dare to be careless in any way.

Not to mention believing what the other party said, really thinking that it would give him such a huge opportunity, and even involve him in the sea of ​​suffering behind the Gate of the Other Shore.

"If things are too late, things will change. It is not a good place to stay for a long time."

Determined that he would never be able to feel its breath again, Wei Tao had this thought flashing through his mind, and without any hesitation, he rowed the wooden oar and began to move away from the terrifying "fault" that made people's hearts beat.

He didn't even turn the boat around.

Instead, he kept staring into the dark abyss, guarding against any further abnormalities.

Wow…

The wooden oars stirred the dark waves, and the boat became faster and faster.

Suddenly, Wei Tao's heart moved and he suddenly turned his head and looked to one side.

Wherever he looked, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Even the paddling movements of his hands were momentarily stagnant and incoherent.

Memories that had long ago hit him in an instant, setting off waves in the depths of his consciousness, each wave impacting his heart.

Just on the side of the ship, within easy reach, there was something that felt extremely familiar to him.

It is a seed between reality and reality.

It is exuding a mysterious and mysterious atmosphere.

He had seen a similar seed once, took it from Emperor Wu's hand, and incorporated it into his body.

But I didn't expect to see a more mysterious and perfect inheritance seed here than the last one.

More importantly, after seeing this inheritance seed, an extremely longing mood suddenly arose in his heart.

The two seeds seemed to be attracted to each other, and the friction produced scorching sparks, like a blazing flame, which seemed to completely cover the whole person.

"Young man, have you thought about it?"

At this moment, the ethereal and distorted voice sounded again.

"Should we leave directly, or should we inherit our heritage and continue the path we have not yet completed?"

Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and did not glance towards the side of the ship. "With my talent, qualifications and perseverance, I am afraid that I will fail the expectations of my seniors."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "Even if I think for the best in everything, if I am really lucky enough to reach the other side, what kind of help will it be to my seniors?"

"It doesn't help me, and it doesn't help my companions at all."

"If you really set foot on the other side, you only need to take our place and see what the scenery is like there."

Wei Tao nodded and rowed the oar in his hand, "If possible, I will go over and have a look, but I can't have this seed."

"After all, I just said that since I entered the path of cultivation, everything I have done has been achieved with my own hands. I have never been given anything by anyone, let alone taken anything from others. This was the case before, and it is also the case now. Absolutely no exceptions.”
