Alienated Martial Arts

The dark void is endless.

Since the division of chaos and turbidity, and the emergence of intelligent life, no one has ever reached the true edge of the starry universe.

Suddenly, countless stars flickered inexplicably.

As if they were singing in unison, praising a great and sacred existence.

On the surface of some habitable planets, creatures of all races looked up at the same time, and were attracted by the changes in the sky full of stars.

They were moved at the same time, and tears flowed inexplicably.

It seemed that their emotions were controlled by an indescribable agitation, which seemed to contain an irrepressible fanatical reverence.

In addition to ordinary people, those extraordinary creatures who broke through the boundaries of life were even more unbearable in the face of the shining of the stars, and even the higher the level of their realm, the more shocked they were by this change.

Faint ripples flashed in the dark void.

Quietly passing through thousands of star fields, without leaving a trace.

The fluctuations came silently and disappeared even more unknown.

Only those great giants who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation and each controls more than one star field can vaguely sense its arrival and departure.

No matter what they were doing at the time, even if they were fighting each other, when this ripple appeared, they all stopped their actions and saluted respectfully towards that area with the most humble attitude.

At the same time, they were still mumbling to themselves. Although the pronunciations of each word may not be consistent, they expressed the same meaning.

That is, the supreme Lord of the Era.

………………

……………………

After crossing countless star fields, he finally came to this unique place.

Looking at the dark red nebula in the distance, the Lord of the Era frowned slightly.

His mood, which had long been calm, could not help but ripple at this time.

"Senior Kong, is this the end of time and space?"

He closed his eyes, his expression respectful and polite, and a slight fluctuation rose quietly in the depths of his consciousness. "After becoming the Lord of the Era, I found this place as soon as possible, in order to leave the life and death channel with you and go to the teacher's former hometown."

But he didn't get any response.

The Lord of the Era was not in a hurry about this, but just gathered his thoughts and waited peacefully.

Because in the long years before, the teacher who lived in seclusion in the deepest part of his true spirit and soul would sometimes "retreat and practice" like him, and in this case, he just needed to wait quietly.

It's just that this time, Senior Kong seemed to be silent for a little longer.

The Lord of the Era waited for a long time, calling softly in the depths of his consciousness, and slowly approached the dark red nebula.

At the height level he is at now, the Lord of the Era standing above billions of star fields, there are very few things that can make him curious, and the origin of Senior Kong is definitely one of the most important ones.

Therefore, after becoming the Lord of the Era, it would immediately cross the dark void and look for the secret place called the life and death passage by Senior Kong.

Not only to explore the unknown, but also to eliminate possible dangers in advance.

Another period of time passed.

The dark red nebula was already in sight.

The Lord of the Era stopped again. In addition to the shock that he had never experienced when watching from a distance, he could not suppress the inexplicable feeling of suppressed fear.

Because it was not until this time that he discovered that the nebula he thought was actually made up of countless scarlet silk threads intertwined and entangled.

The Lord of the Era carefully distinguished and found that these scarlet blood lines were like a big patch, firmly sealing a passage that should have existed.

"It should be here."

"As long as you find a way to pass through this patch, you can reach the life and death passage mentioned by Senior Kong."

As his mind moved, he had already taken a step forward and came to the edge of a scarlet blood line.

"It's really beyond my expectation. This feeling makes my soul tremble."

"Creation, residence, decay, and emptiness, the cycle of life and death, I just stayed here for a while, and I realized such a profound truth of the Great Dao, even far exceeding the sum of all my previous practice."

The Lord of the Era took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, almost immersing his whole mind in it.

After an unknown period of time, his body suddenly trembled, forcing himself to wake up from the deepest meditation.

"Why do I always feel like I'm being watched in secret, as if every move, every word and deed is under the watchful eyes of some invisible eyes?"

The Lord of the Era concentrated his spirit and drove his power to explore and perceive, but except for the dark red silk thread in front of him with unknown texture, which looked like a living thing, he did not find any life.

But this feeling of being watched has always been there.

It also made him feel doubtful and uneasy for the first time after he became the Lord of the Era.

"You came a little earlier than I expected."

At this moment, a soft female voice sounded quietly.

Although it sounded gentle and gentle, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the heart of the Lord of the Era.

He suddenly turned around and looked at the dark void on one side.

A young woman in a green dress was there.

She didn't know where she came from, nor where she was going.

Perhaps she just appeared at the right time and in the right place, but completely avoided his perception. If she didn't speak, she wouldn't even reveal the slightest trace.

The Lord of the Era was secretly alert and was ready to go all out. "Who are you and why can you predict my arrival?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, and you don't need to know my name."

She smiled and replied slowly, "I thought you would settle down for a while after becoming the Lord of the Era. I didn't expect you to be so eager to find this place as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed, "If you didn't come, we wouldn't have come to find you so quickly. At least you could enjoy more time on the throne of the Lord of the Era.

But now that you are here by yourself, I can't ignore it. I can only say that it's time and fate. These are the disasters you deserve."

"Disaster?"

The Lord of the Era lowered his eyes, "I want to see what virtue and ability you have that can make me..."

He stopped talking halfway, but stopped talking without any sign.

It seemed that an endless sea of ​​blood appeared in front of him, covering and burying everything.

It also included the power it used to explode, being swallowed up silently by the sea of ​​blood, with almost no waves.

And just before losing consciousness, it heard the soft female voice again, which seemed to be asking another person something with a hint of surprise.

She said, "Why did Junior Brother suddenly take action? Is it stronger than the previous Lord of the Era? Are you worried that I can't take it down alone?"

"No, it's not stronger, but weaker."

"It's just that I sensed the breath of the extraterritorial demon on it, so I took action myself, so as not to let it escape and waste time and energy to deal with it again."

The previous Lord of the Era?

Not strong, but weaker?

And what exactly is the extraterritorial demon?

He was extremely confused, even overshadowing the fear of being caught in the scarlet sea of ​​blood, and then he lost all perception.

Falling.

Keep falling down.

Maybe it's not falling, but rising up.

After an unknown amount of time, the darkness finally dissipated and the light quietly descended.

The Lord of the Era slowly opened his eyes and looked around in a daze.

He seemed to be at the top of a high mountain.

The surroundings were shrouded in light mist, and a stone tablet could be vaguely seen. Although the handwriting on it was a little mottled, it could still be roughly recognized.

"Guanyuntai."

Although the Lord of the Era had never seen this kind of font, he still blurted it out subconsciously.

"This is the Guanyuntai of Qinglin Mountain."

Accompanied by a gentle voice, the light mist quietly dispersed.

It also allowed the Lord of the Era to see the stone table and stone bench not far away, as well as the young man sitting still.

Behind the young man, there were three young women standing, and it was unknown what the relationship between them was.

He slowly drank a cup of tea and looked over with a smile on his face.

The eyes of both sides intertwined, and the Lord of the Era suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, as if something was taken away from his true spirit and soul, and he actually wanted to cry for no reason at this moment.

In addition, facing the seemingly ordinary young man, it seemed as if it was facing the entire Samsara Avenue itself. Even at the height of the Lord of the Era, it was just a tiny bit of dust.

It couldn't help but prostrate itself on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

Then he asked carefully, "Why did you summon me here?"

"Your luck is not very good. You just became the Lord of the Era, and you have to come to my place to hang out, leaving yourself no time to relax."

"But your luck is not bad. After I extracted the extraterritorial demon, your realm level almost fell below the bottom line of the Lord of the Era, which made you go from being certain to die to wandering between life and death."

He said this, looking down at the changing black air in his palm, and after a long silence, he suddenly laughed, "I thought it was an ordinary obsession, but I didn't expect it to be one of the original true spirits of the master predecessor. It was an unexpected surprise..."

The Lord of the Era listened silently, not daring to move from beginning to end, but his heartstrings, which were tense because of fear, gradually relaxed.

It bowed again, slowly stood up from the ground, and followed a ferocious monster with two horns on its top and two wings on its back towards the distant building complex. Along the way, it was struggling whether it should communicate with the other party, and if it did, what to call it.

"Yuan Yi Dao."

The Lord of the Era stopped in front of a hall and slowly read out the three big characters on the plaque.

The ferocious monster said at this time, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, Congratulations, Junior Brother, you and I were both the Lords of the Eras of different Eras before, and now we have the opportunity to become disciples of Yuan Yi Dao instead of being hunted and wiped out directly. This is our great blessing and opportunity, and it is also the gift of the Taoist Master to us like a rebirth."

"You too, the Lord of the Era?"

It was slightly startled, and suddenly sensed the aura of power hidden deep in the ferocious monster, which was even more powerful than itself. It wanted to say something else, but for a moment it didn't know where to start.

While the Lord of the Era was still in a daze, he suddenly saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat walking slowly down the mountain.

She was carrying a long sword on her back and holding a fishing rod in her hand. She was walking in the depths of the mist. If you ignore the one-eyed monster following behind her, it would definitely be a beautiful and elegant picture.

The ferocious monster had already walked up to him quickly, and bowed down respectfully at a distance, "The Taoist master just said that you went to the lake behind the mountain to fish and boat, so we should not run around and disturb your leisure time..."

She smiled leisurely and interrupted his chattering, "Where is the Taoist master now? I was meditating in the lake this time, and I suddenly had an understanding of the Tao of existence and non-existence mentioned by him in his sermon not long ago, so I thought about coming back to discuss it with him."

Speaking of this, she turned her head and looked at him, with a slight flash of light in her eyes, "Is this the new disciple of our sect? It seems that half an era has passed without knowing it..."

On the Guanyun Terrace.

Wei Tao took a deep breath, and the black breath in his palm disappeared quietly.

Ni Chen helped him refill his tea and asked casually, "Brother Wei, there shouldn't be many obsessions still clinging to the outer edge of reincarnation now."

Wei Tao slowly closed his eyes, "Indeed, there are not many, and it can even be described as almost gone."

Ni Chen nodded, and then continued, "Brother, you control reincarnation with your body and the Tao. With each successive cycle of birth, residence, destruction and emptiness, the pressure you bear is getting greater and greater. So why do you still want to save the lives of some of the Epoch Masters? You must know that their existence is a big burden for you and reincarnation..."

Wei Tao picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Sister, you know that the true meaning of reincarnation is the cycle of life and death, birth, residence, destruction and emptiness, so you should know that for reincarnation itself, it should actually follow this fundamental law to operate, so no matter what I No matter how hard you clean it, it can only slow it down, but it can't stop the final destruction from coming. "

Ni Chen thought, "So, what does Junior Brother mean?"

"No destruction, no establishment, destruction and then establishment."

Wei Tao held Ni Chen's slender hand, "Although the path of the master of time and space has big problems, it also brought me many hints, especially the obsession attached to the edge of reincarnation, which made me think deeply about the problem of existence and non-existence beyond birth, residence, destruction and emptiness."

"But it's too early to talk about this now, why don't I play a game of chess with my senior sister first to see if your three-in-one tacit understanding can win here."

"Our three sisters join forces, Junior Brother, you have to be careful."

Ni Chen smiled, reached out and picked up a chess piece, and just as he was about to drop it, he suddenly stopped in mid-air.

She frowned slightly, staring at a black chess piece that had appeared on the table at some point, and suddenly sighed, "The question of existence and non-existence that Junior Brother just mentioned to us turned out to be such a profound and difficult truth."

Picking up the black chess piece, Ni Yan looked up at the misty sky, his eyes piercing through the many barriers, as if he saw a scene outside of reincarnation.

"No destruction, no establishment, destruction and then establishment, maybe when that day comes, it will be the beginning of a brand new reincarnation."
