Infinity Throne

It is the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the eighteenth year of the Jisheng calendar.

The moon is full.

Out in the wilderness.

Yi Lin and Bai Chuchu, one person and one cat, were having a picnic.

Bai Chuchu's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and Yi Lin could hardly satisfy it.

"Have you noticed that there are fewer and fewer monsters recently?"

Yi Lin skillfully turned the barbecue fork, and the wild boar meat on the fork was sizzling with oil.

On the side, Bai Chuchu was in the form of a cat, with pink and soft fleshy balls on his paws, holding his cheeks stupidly, motionless.

It wasn't until Yi Lin asked several times that Bai Chuchu took his eyes away from the food with difficulty. He swallowed hard and said, "Master, the practice of the demon clan is even more contrary to the heavenly practice than the practice of the human Qi Refiner. . For ordinary beasts to open up their spiritual wisdom, without the guidance of an expert, it is already impossible. In addition, Qi refiners must kill monsters whenever they encounter them. If they want to cultivate to the point of transformation, there are even more dangers."

As he spoke, Bai Chuchu sighed softly and concluded: "It's too difficult for us!"

"indeed."

Yi Lin thought about it and secretly thought it made sense. Recently, I traveled to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and wars were spreading everywhere. The monsters seemed to be hiding. In the past, I could smell the monster aura in the wilderness from time to time, but now I can't smell it anymore.

After calling for a long time, Yi Lin finished grilling the barbecue. Since he didn't bring a pot or bowl, he put the roasted wild boar on a fork, placed it on the plate and carefully placed it on the green banana leaves that had been washed in front of Bai Chuchu.

As soon as Yi Lin put it down, Bai Chuchu sucked it and opened his bloody mouth, as if "drinking meat", and ate it all in the blink of an eye.

After eating, Bai Chuchu looked pitifully at his young master.

Yi Lin couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, this is just an appetizer... Well, it's almost time. Get out of the way and don't burn the hair."

Bai Chuchu suddenly jumped quickly and jumped three steps away.

Yi Lin shook her hand, the strong wind blew, and the bonfire was extinguished.

He slapped the ground again, and the ground cracked. It turned out that something was buried under the bonfire.

A black earthen bag, almost as big as a person, was heated and hardened. When Yilin slapped his palm on the ground, it bounced up from the cracked earthen pit in the ground.

Yi Lin pulled out the Immortal Killing Spear, borrowed the "indestructible" effect of the Immortal Killing Spear, and poked the hard dirt bag in the air.

"Boo~"

The black soil bag split open directly under this shot. At the moment of the split, a colorful light rose into the sky, and soul food was automatically generated.

"I didn't expect that using the cooking method of Beggar's Chicken to cook whole pigs is really possible. Come on, take a bite."

The fragrant beggar wild boar was floating in the air. Yi Lin shook his hand, and dozens of flying swords suddenly appeared. Under Yi Lin's control, the flying swords were like nimble chefs, cutting off the whole wild boar in the air. One slice after another, the aroma filled the small space and the meat juice splashed.

Bai Chuchu was once again conquered by delicious food.

While eating the fragrant Beggar wild boar meat, she swore in her heart that from now on in this life, she would be the young master's cat in life, and she would also be the young master's dead cat in death.

One person and one cat are full.

Bai Chuchu completely forgot that after her transformation, she turned into a charming and beautiful woman. She was like a kitten with her legs in the air, patting her round belly, and was completely defenseless against the young master.

Yi Lin folded his hands behind his head, lying on the ground and looking at the full moon in the sky.

"Eighteen years."

Yi Lin couldn't help but think of all the things in the real world.

Since the universal recruitment and the adjustment of the time flow rate between the inner world and the surface world, the time flow in the real world after coming out of the trial is no longer the standard one minute.

He has been here for eighteen years now.

Even if he believed that Xiao Xi would not trick him, eighteen years, how long would it take for the real world to pass?

A month?

Two months?

One year?

Bai Chuchu felt that something was wrong with the young master's mood.

In the young master's words, it seemed to be a feeling of "loneliness, emptiness and coldness".

"Master, are you cold?"

While asking, Bai Chuchu's body was very honest, he turned over with burps, lay on Yi Lin's belly, and used his body temperature to warm Yi Lin.

"hehe."

Yi Lin squinted her eyes and smiled, without explaining, still staring at the full moon in the sky.

For once, he did not rush into the center to work after dinner, but admired the moon.

"Master, what are you planning during this time?"

Bai Chuchu asked.

Since leaving Loulan, the young master has been very idle, wandering around, leaving Bai Chuchu unsure of what the young master is doing.

Yi Lin didn't hide anything: "I'm waiting."

"wait?"

"Yes, just like fine wine, you must wait for enough time to ferment and develop its mellow aroma. Some things do not have enough time to ferment and cannot achieve the desired effect. The other thing is... waiting for someone who can't sit still."

…

…

The next day.

Three poles in the sun.

Yi Lin and Bai Chuchu were packing their things.

What he was waiting for hadn't even begun yet, but he was contacted by his junior sister.

From time to time, Jian Nanchun would report to Yi Lin on the movements of Lumen Pass, so when the "phone" belonging to the junior sister started to vibrate, Yi Lin roughly guessed why the junior sister was looking for him.

Xia Xiaoman: "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Yi Lin: "I just finished eating, what's wrong?"

Xia Xiaoman: "I feel like you are asking questions knowingly, senior brother."

Yi Lin: "No way! I'm not that kind of person!"

Xia Xiaoman: "Senior brother, when will you come back?"

Yi Lin: "Are you referring to Qingdu or Lumen Pass?"

Xia Xiaoman: "As expected! Senior brother, you are asking questions knowingly!"

Xia Xiaoman seemed angry.

She was even more rude and told her senior brother everything about the situation at Lumen Pass.

When Yi Lin heard this, she felt a headache. She habitually scratched the dead skin on her head while thinking:

"You know, I'm not good at marching and fighting."

Xia Xiaoman: "I didn't ask you, senior brother, to march and fight! I just want senior brother to help Xiaoman destroy the other side."

Yi Lin: "I have an idea."

Xia Xiaoman: "Senior brother is awesome!"

Yi Lin: "Don't brag yet. According to the 'current progress', Lumen Pass will definitely be broken."

Xia Xiaoman: "What?"

Yi Lin: "The way I said is... give up Lumen Pass."

Xia Xiaoman: "..."

…

…

It was the eighteenth year of Jishengli.

August 20th.

Outside Lumen Pass.

A scarred-faced military general who was nearly two meters tall lowered his head to check the secret scroll in his hand.

"Hey, that old man, General Shenwu, actually personally led the army to support Lumen Pass? With only 20,000 elite soldiers, do you really think that the General's Dongwang Army is a vegetarian! Our Dongwang Army is extremely wealthy!"

After reading the information on the secret scroll, the scar-faced general crumpled the secret scroll into a ball and threw it into the campfire next to him.

"You want to block the news of the arrival of the Shenwu Army to catch us off guard? These are already outdated strategies! I want to see what tricks you can pull off!"

Under the command of the king stationed in the east, there are ten generals, each named with a number.

The general who led the army to attack Lumen Pass this time was one of them: General Eight, known as Lao Ba in the army. The Eighth General is about thirty years old and in his prime. He has mastered the "Eight Injury Fist" so well that his fists are invulnerable. It is said that he never used weapons on the battlefield. He could block the weapons with just a pair of iron fists, but his fists were unscathed.

Some people even witnessed him using his fists to kill more than a dozen wild cultivators who were at the peak of their Qi training realm and were only one step away from entering the golden elixir avenue.

His fist can even break ten meters of rock with one punch, with great ease.

Now, the professional craftsman who stayed in Lumen Pass raised an old dog and escaped from the sewer with a secret scroll in his mouth. In this clever way, he finally delivered the intelligence in Lumen Pass to the Eighth General.

"It's just five hundred people, hahaha! It's just five hundred people, so what if we add 20,000 divine warriors? Do you really think you can stop my 50,000 Eastern King's army with 25,000 people?"

The Eighth General burst out laughing and breathing heavily, completely unaware that he had just calculated the wrong number.

…

"The Eighth General miscalculated again."

The Eighth General's laughter was so loud that it spread throughout the camp.

A new soldier muttered.

"Shh!" The veteran on the side immediately covered the recruit's mouth: "Are you trying to commit suicide? The Eighth General always makes irresponsible remarks. If he says it's twenty-five thousand, then it's twenty-five thousand, even if he says it's twenty-five thousand. Two hundred and five, that’s right!”

The soldier was stunned.

The old soldier told the new recruits in a deep voice: "If you want to live longer on the battlefield, it is not bravery, but wit! The calculation of the Eighth General is never accurate. Have you ever seen anyone mention it in front of the Eighth General?" "

"It seems, no."

"Hey, that's for sure. The last person who pointed out that the Eighth General made a wrong calculation in front of the Eighth General was assigned to the front row with his bare hands, stood in front of the shield soldiers as bait, and was chopped to death by the enemy."

"..."

…

That night.

The two parties were in their respective camps, stretching their necks and observing the changes on the opposite side.

The two sides were confronting each other, both waiting and holding back.

Whoever can't help it first will initiate the next battle.

But during this period, the Dongwang Army was mostly the active side, and Lumen Pass was almost passively defensive.

Until late at night.

The closed Lumen Pass city gate opened again, and a group of armored soldiers, waving Shenwu flags, riding war horses, formed a horse formation, and fought out from Lumen Pass in a mighty manner.
