Barrier of Light

"Just think that I lost."

These light words floated above the snowfield.

"I don't care about the result. It doesn't matter whether I win or lose. I have no obsession with the battle back then. The reason why I took action was just to know how strong you really are..."

Baixiu said slowly: "This is proof that I am interested in the 'God-Slaying' plan. I want to know how far mortals can grow. After breaking through the twelfth level, I have lost my reference."

Yes.

Baixiu... has broken through the twelfth layer of the deep sea, but he has not applied to the federal government for a title ban. The news of his breakthrough is currently hidden by the Bai family.

After breaking through the twelfth level, Baixiu's cultivation encountered a bottleneck for the first time in his life.

Not long ago, he returned to Nagano and returned to his hometown in the Snow Forbidden City. In order to prove his achievements in practice, he chose to challenge the titled masters in the Bai clan's ancestral hall.

Both fights ended cleanly.

He first defeated the contemporary head of the family, Bai Xiaochi, and then defeated his brother Bai Chen.

At that time, Gu Nanfeng broke through the 12th level of the deep sea at the age of 29 and became the youngest person to be titled in Dongzhou.

And Baixiu accomplished all this before he was twenty-eight years old.

He has reached the end point that most ordinary people cannot reach in their lifetime, the ultimate! But he is a little different from Gu Nanfeng. He does not have the heavy responsibility of the family on his shoulders. The Bai family is not like the Gu family back then. There are two factions, the old and the new. There is no need for Bai Xiu to be the bearer and solve the family's problems.

Therefore, after Baixiu reaches the "end", he can still continue to study, continue to practice... and continue to pursue "the strongest"!

"So you use me as a 'reference object'?"

The red dragon smiled and said: "What an honor...but maybe you can choose another person, because I am not interested in practicing to the end of the world. After all, I am not the one who declares war on the Sky God's throne in the final plan. "

"..."

"At times like this, I will miss the guy who died in Sangzhou Cave. How great would it be if Gu Shen was still alive?"

Red Dragon sighed: "If Gu Shen is alive and becomes a banned person, he can help you continue to break through the realm... If you want to achieve the ultimate in the world, you need a strong enough opponent. That person can be Gu Shen, or you can It's someone else, but it can't be me, because I don't have the desire to become the 'strongest' from the bottom of my heart, and I'm not qualified to be your reference."

"If you really want to find a strong opponent, then go to Beizhou. You can challenge 'Rusty Bones'."

The red dragon smiled and said: "Although you are very strong now, there is a high probability that you will taste failure in the hands of Rusty Bones. Fighting against this general... will bring you a new understanding. Maybe you will We will discover the next breakthrough direction.”

"Rusty Bones..."

Baixiu narrowed his eyes and recited the name silently.

He knew that the three generals of the Beizhou Legion were very strong, as well as the commander of the Survey Corps stationed in the attic... Even among the title levels, these four were rare top-notch beings!

They rarely take action.

But their power has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There are rumors from the outside world that the reason why the three generals swept through the realm of banning is because they experienced the Red War. In that protracted and difficult war, they were bathed in blood and fire, and they ushered in a deeper transformation.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

Red Dragon found another big stone and leaned on it. "Yunhu and Xuangui of the Tower of Origin have already merged into two realms. It is very likely that these two people will become 'banned'."

"They...I'm not interested in this kind of account ban."

Baixiu frowned slightly.

"Of course I know."

Red Dragon said helplessly: "Even if these two guys break through, they won't be enough for you to kill. Am I telling you this news to make you take action? Think about it carefully, if Yunhu Xuangui becomes a banned person, what will be the position of the four gods? manage?"

Bai Xiu said: "The four divine envoys are going to be replaced?"

"yes."

Red Dragon smiled and said: "I should not have stayed in the position of 'Red Dragon' a long time ago, but no one has been qualified to take over this position before. If nothing unexpected happens, the new 'Red Dragon' will be Gu Xiao Man, as for other divine envoys, they will also change. This time she returns to the Tower of Source, and she may take over the order of the red dragon divine envoy."

"You no longer hold the position of divine envoy?"

Baixiu was stunned and asked: "Then from now on..."

"Don't worry, I won't become the [Apostle] of the sky."

Red Dragon said lightly: "Before Gu Xiaoman is qualified to sit on the position of Red Dragon, I will be her protector and guide. And when she truly becomes the 'Red Dragon', at that time, she will also be qualified to contact The fire of wine has been ignited, and my mission will be completed by then."

Tianshui's great cause of subversion will be launched the moment the Lord of Wine is born!

"Actually, I still don't understand."

Bai Xiu looked at the red dragon in confusion: "Why are you doing this? Are there people born who are willing to be the 'winners'?"

"You don't understand, this is normal."

The red dragon smiled and said: "There are millions of roads and millions of people in this world, and there are always people who want to take some unusual paths... You just need to know that if the world needs a ray of light, then I am willing to be a burning fire. , even if there are only embers left in the end, I won’t hesitate.”

…

…

"No. BE324, it's my pleasure to serve you."

A micro airship was driving slowly over the sea, and the [Deep Sea] virtual smart butler welcomed him with a soft voice: "Owner of S-level authority of the Tower of Source, autopilot has been activated, and there are still six hours and three days left before the destination Rhine City. Twelve minutes... would you like a cup of hot coffee?"

"no need."

This miniature boat was not big, with only four seats at the front and back. Gu Xiaoman sat in the main driving seat and closed his eyes, too lazy to talk to the smart butler.

"Change destination, go uptown."

"Okay, the destination has been modified for you. The new route will take nine hours and four minutes. There are 147 unread messages in your mailbox. Do you need..."

"neglect."

Gu Xiaoman can know the general content of the messages in the mailbox without looking at them.

She looked back behind her.

The clouds and mist were shrouded, and only a rough outline of the land could be seen, like a rooster.

Dongzhou...that's what Gu Shen calls Dongzhou.

Although she was born in Sangzhou Cave, she did not feel "home" about the sunken island. The life in Sangzhou Cave was too cold and tortured, and she never wanted to go back.

Later, Gu Xiaoman went to the Tower of Source, and the red dragon treated her well.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, status, everything.

But in the past five years, she did not feel that the Tower of Source was her home.

This time she went out alone to experience. She wanted to see what her dream home looked like... Unfortunately, she never had the chance to step into the urban area of ​​Dongzhou and could only walk in the tundra.

Fortunately, I met Master Baixiu in the end, so this trip was not a disappointment.

"One day in the future, will I have the opportunity to visit Nagano?"

Gu Xiaoman's eyes were a little misty, and she whispered softly.

The mini-boat sailed for nearly ten hours and finally arrived at Shangcheng. When Gu Xiaoman returned to the Tower of Source, many extraordinary people had gathered here... These people were all wearing the priest's robes issued by Shangcheng, with inlaid The number of stars is generally one or two, and the only thing these people have in common is youth.

None of them were over thirty years old.

"Excuse me...what are you doing?"

After being away from the Tower of Source for a month and not receiving any external information, Gu Xiaoman was still a little confused.

After all, she hadn't read any of the emails in her mailbox.

She stood among the crowd and asked a random transcendent.

"Little girl, don't you know this? A new trial and selection of the four divine envoys is taking place in the upper city..."

The person Gu Xiaoman grabbed was a mature-looking young man. The latter's eyes were a little strange: "It's been more than 20 days since the news about the God Envoy Trial came out. Is it because your village doesn't have Internet access?"

More than twenty days?

As soon as he left, the selection started. Gu Xiaoman thought thoughtfully and smiled to himself. No wonder he didn't know. It turned out to be a perfect mistake.

The new four divine envoys are about to be replaced...

Gu Xiaoman sighed with emotion in his heart.

But after careful calculation, it is indeed time.

After all, the red dragon who led him to practice is now in his thirties.

Two years ago, I had teased Red Dragon that it was time to abdicate and let someone else go. However, such a big thing as the Divine Envoy Trial had been going on for more than 20 days, and Red Dragon didn't say anything to him.

The four divine envoys of the Tower of Source will be replaced every fifteen to twenty years.

Those who are qualified to sit in this position in every session must be the best among the younger generation!

This is a selection open to the whole world.

Each city and district in Central Continent will recommend local talents to the upper city. In addition, for all those who participate in the election, regardless of their place of origin, the Tower of Source will open a tower trial to them free of charge.

This "welfare" will even attract some geniuses from other continents to make a special trip to Central Continent to feel the spiritual radiance bestowed by these gods on the mortal world.

"Sorry, I just got online."

Gu Xiaoman asked curiously: "So the divine envoy trial is over? Are you guys standing around here waiting for the results?"

She saw that these young extraordinary beings were all quite powerful. They were already at the level of the sixth level of the deep water area in their twenties. For the quasi-third level extraordinary beings on the sixth level of the deep water area, the Tower of Source would make an exception and issue star messenger robes. But I'm afraid I'm still a little short of the strength needed to become a divine envoy.

"It's not over yet, but it's almost over."

The young man sighed with emotion and said: "Looking at your age, this must be your first time coming to the city. Have you seen the screen over there? The dream images of every trialist will be stored in the Tower of Source."

Gu Xiaoman didn't explain, just smiled. It was rare to meet a kind-hearted person. She looked at the screen not far away cooperatively.

On the side of the square in front of the Tower of Source, you can watch the dreams of every trialist.

These people gathered here to observe the "strong man".

"Like our tower of origin, I just want to experience the feeling of being illuminated by the twin gods." The young man laughed at himself: "The dream trial of the twin gods was too difficult. I only made it to the fourth floor... I want to be a candidate for a divine envoy. People should at least go to the eighth floor."

Gu Xiaoman glanced at the screen. She didn't have the patience to watch the trial dream, so she asked: "Is there a confirmed candidate now?"

"This replacement of divine envoys only involves three people."

The young man explained patiently: "After all, the new Suzaku Divine Envoy has only been in power for three or four years... Lord Red Dragon, as the head of the Divine Envoy, has a very high vision. There is currently no one selected, but I heard that the two adults, Yunhu and Xuangui, , the candidates have been finalized.”

"oh?"

Gu Xiaoman asked: "Who is it?"

"Lord Black Turtle has his sights on Xidal from Rhine City. Lord Yunhu has his sights on an unknown East Asian woman. It is said that both of them have completed the trial of the eighth-level spiritual dream." The young man replied subconsciously, Immediately, he asked doubtfully: "Little girl, you ask why you are so careful. You are not here to participate in this selection, right?"

He looked at the cloaked girl in front of him again. She looked about eleven or twelve years old.

"No no no..."

Gu Xiaoman quickly shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in things like the Divine Envoy Trial."

The young man laughed dumbly and shook his head. He was really childish... What does it mean to be not interested in the trial of a divine envoy?

This little girl is still too young in the film. When she gets older, she will know that the Four Divine Envoys of the Tower of Source are a position that countless people can only hope to achieve!

"Thank you for clearing up the confusion. I have no problem...please give way."

Gu Xiaoman said politely: "There are a lot of people, and the entrance is blocked... Can you move?"

The young man was stunned.

"Give way, give way."

Gu Xiaoman squeezed forward. Her tone was gentle, but there was a gentle spirit in her voice. After hearing this, the crowd gave way to her, and immediately looked at this little girl in her early teens with doubtful eyes.

Finally, under the attention of dozens of people, Gu Xiaoman arrived at the entrance to the Tower of Source.

There is a giant mechanical door carved with fringe flowers, shrouded in purple glow. It is said that the purple glow was the pattern set by the God of Wine himself!

There are two ways to enter the Tower of Source, either by obtaining "special permission".

Anyone who steps in will be directly picked up by the formation pattern.

For example, as long as the extraordinary people who participate in the God's Envoy Trial meet the qualifications, they will be directly transferred by the glow.

But without the blessing of the twin gods, if you want to step into the Tower of Source, you will need extremely high identity authority for verification.

The little girl in a cloak stood in front of the mechanical door. Countless purple rays of light did not react against her. Instead, they were as gentle as a veil, blowing back and forth on her body.

Gu Xiaoman was a little helpless.

After being selected in advance by the "Wine Fire", these rays of light formations born from the power of fire were completely opened to her.

It's just that she didn't use the power of her own formation patterns to "go through the back door."

"Open the door."

Gu Xiaoman stretched out his palm and pressed it directly on the door. He spoke in a calm voice, as casually as if he had returned to his own home.

The words fell.

"...Boom!"

The mechanical door of the Tower of Source completed the certification and opened slowly.

Looking at the little girl who opened the door and entered.

The crowd watching the trial of the divine envoy fell silent.
