From the gate of heaven

Chapter 169 [The soul leaves the body, another method of immortality]

The fierce battle between the two mythical masters continued without a moment's rest.

The entire West Sea withstood the violent energy escaping from the center of the battlefield. At this time, it was completely boiling. Many fish, shrimps, crabs, whales and other creatures living in this sea area were affected.

The bright red blood dyed the entire sea red, and many creatures were dying.

The sky became completely gloomy, with thunder piercing the sky and being carried towards the enemy, extreme cold permeating the void and freezing everything, and extremely violent wind blades filling the sky with blood.

Various visions spread around the battlefield, shocking the world.

Just gradually, as time passed by, all the visions stopped.

In the center of the battlefield, there were two auras that covered the sky and the sun, one of which was gradually declining.

Lin Ze looked at the battlefield and saw that the smoke and dust that enveloped the world were blown away by the strong wind. Ji Yu, who was dressed in blood-colored robes, pinched the neck of Dugu Xinghan, the master of the Changsheng Palace, and stepped on the water waves step by step with heavy steps. Went to a broken island.

"It seems that I am still more skilled."

Ji Yu threw Dugu Xinghan's body, which had been drained of essence and gradually dried up, on the ground, and spoke in a high-spirited tone, as if he had defeated a powerful enemy.

After all, he is the strongest person in this era who has never been seen before. Even if his life is approaching, he still defeated Dugu Xinghan in his prime.

"It doesn't matter, I'll just die half a quarter of an hour earlier than you."

Dugu Xinghan was lying on the ground. As he lay dying, he sighed and spoke.

What he was sighing about was not his defeat and death. After all, Ji Yu's condition was not much better than his. Even if he was not at the end of his life, after this battle, his essence had dried up and was on the verge of death.

What he sighed was that his path to immortality could not continue.

"Actually, I'm very curious. Since you are waiting for me to die, the Changsheng Palace should be completely dormant, so as not to be found by me by following the clues. Why would you want to contact that kid Lin Ze? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here today."

Ji Yu asked curiously.

"I hope to live forever, but I am impatient after all."

Dugu Xinghan said this, without any further explanation, he closed his eyes and passed away.

Ji Yu understood that the pursuit of immortality had probably reached a critical point and required a lot of resources and time to verify and advance, so he did not completely wait in hibernation, but tried to obtain resources in secret for experiments.

He was betting that he would be hidden enough that Ji Yu would not discover his traces.

Facts have proved that Dugu Xinghan's gamble failed.

He did not expect that a young junior whom he completely looked down upon would actually have hidden power that could kill him.

"Time is fate."

Ji Yu shook his head and sat cross-legged next to Dugu Xinghan's body, looking up at the sky that had become unusually empty due to a previous battle.

He could clearly feel that the energy and energy in his body had completely dried up at this moment, and in a few minutes his body functions would completely stop functioning.

Even in the battle just now, Ji Yu sublimated his energy and spirit to the limit, but he still found no hope of immortality.

Dugu Xinghan did it. Even if Ji Yu defeated him, he would not be given any hope of living.

However, Ji Yu's mood did not fluctuate much. He had already prepared to face death. Although there was an episode like Dugu Xinghan before the arrival of death, it did not affect his calm acceptance of his life. The end of the story.
-
Across the Zhutian Gate, Lin Ze and the others watched the battle end.

Ji Wangshu immediately wanted to go through the Zhutian Gate to see his old father and accompany him through the last period of his life.

It was just that Lin Ze prohibited her from passing through the Zhutian Gate.

Facing Ji Wangshu's frown, Lin Ze calmly spoke and gave his own explanation: "First, the soul exists. Now it seems that your Taizu has won, so how can you tell whether it is the Palace of Eternal Life? An illusion created by the Lord?”

"The purpose is to seduce someone there so that the owner of the Palace of Immortality, who is not dead yet, can seize the body."

"After all, our life level and combat power are far behind those of these mythical masters. We can't decipher their methods, and we don't know if they really have the ability to separate their minds from their physical bodies."

"Secondly, even if it is true that your grandfather Taizu won, who knows whether he suddenly didn't want to die before leaving and took all the energy of others around him to make up for himself. Even if the longevity problem cannot be solved, But it’s good to live for one more minute.”

"Before death, the instinct to save life is very terrifying and can even distort people's thinking."

Although the reasons Lin Ze gave were all his speculations, and there was basically no guarantee of their authenticity, he was willing to be cautious.

There are too many variables and strange abilities in all the worlds.

He himself has magical powers that are so far away that he is invincible, but the two people around him cannot withstand these means.

If these mythical masters can really exist spiritually in the world, there are no living creatures around this battlefield. As long as they don't send them away at this time, they will probably be dead if they leave them alone for a few days.

It didn't matter if Ji Yu wanted to go crazy before he died. Lin Ze wouldn't give him the chance to bury him with him anyway.

"Cultivation above the realm of heaven and man still hasn't touched the so-called soul. My father's Taoist heart is indestructible and he has already accepted the arrival of death calmly. Your guess is totally unreasonable."

Ji Wangshu explained, but seeing that Lin Ze was unmoved, she directly unfolded her body and walked towards the South China Sea.

Even though it was thousands of miles away from here to the battlefield in the South China Sea, it only took a quarter of an hour with the speed of the heavenly master. She did not have to ask Lin Ze for help.

Although Ji Yu may not be able to survive for more than a quarter of an hour, as a daughter, Ji Wangshu wants to help her old father collect the bones and bury them as soon as possible.

Lin Ze didn't pay attention to Ji Wangshu's departure. Ji Qingyan on the side wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but after thinking about it for a while, she finally didn't speak.

Ji Wangshu is a master in the realm of gods and humans. How can the two of them have the weight to stop the other's will?
The two stood quietly, staring at Ji Yu who was sitting cross-legged.

Soon, another 2 minutes passed.

Ji Yu, who was in a trance, came back to his senses and said, "Linze boy, I know you are looking at this. Now listen carefully. This is the mythical martial arts "Yuan Yang Divine Skill" that I created. The essence of a lifetime of learning.”

"If you practice diligently, you can reach the realm above heaven and man. I hope you will take good care of my Ji family in the future."

While speaking, Ji Yu took off a jade pendant he carried with him and poured a ray of Gang Qi that contained the essence of his own martial arts into it.

In the future, as long as someone can understand this jade pendant, they can get the introduction to the magical power in it.

After doing all this, Ji Yu closed his eyes, and then the terrifying aura in his whole body, as vast as the abyss of heaven, slowly dissipated.

His youthful appearance was aging rapidly and became wrinkled and mottled.

The long blood-colored hair on his head, which represented strong blood and vitality, was rapidly turning white and dry at this time.The invincible Taizu of Zhou passed away.
-
Lin Ze was unmoved by this.

It is tempting to practice mythical martial arts to become a land god, but Ji Yu must have a backup in the Ji family, and there will be a chance to get it in the future.

But if things go by now, if the other party has any tricks, they will be directly tricked.

Just like the owner of the Palace of Eternal Life, he clearly suppressed some greed and could become the final winner as long as he stayed dormant for a few more years, but he chose to gamble at the critical moment and lost nothing in the end.

There is no need for Lin Ze to gamble now. He has immortality technology and his future is still very long.

After a while, the panting Ji Wangshu ran all the way to the West Sea and came to his old father's side.

She looked at her old father who had lost all breath, with tears in her eyes.

But before she could feel sad for any longer, her whole body froze.

This stiffness lasted for a very short time. Within a short period of time, Ji Wangshu continued what he had just done. He lowered his body and wrapped Ji Yu's bones with a piece of brocade cloth, preparing to take them back for burial.

As the Taizu of Zhou Dynasty, the entire dynasty will hold a grand funeral for Ji Yu.

After collecting Ji Yu's body, she thought for a moment and took Dugu Xinghan's body with her, and in an instant she disappeared from the battlefield.

"Did you discover it?"

Lin Ze asked Ji Qingyan beside him.

"My aunt's body stiffened for a moment? It's because she felt unbearable after seeing Grandpa Taizu. I'm also a little sad now. Although I didn't get along much with Grandpa Taizu, he is my elder after all."

On the side, Ji Qingyan said.

If it weren't for Lin Ze who could clearly see the fate details of the Zhutian Sect.

Because he promoted the battle between the Palace Master of Changsheng Palace and Ji Yu, which caused Ji Wangshu's fortune to plummet and Zhutianmen took advantage of it, he probably believed Ji Qingyan's words.

"I told her not to go, but she has to go. I don't know if it is your great ancestor or the master of the Changsheng Palace who has taken possession of her."

"Even if they didn't have the ability to seize bodies before, wouldn't these two mythical masters who have been invincible for many years in meditation reach a higher level and suddenly realize similar abilities in the same level battle just now?"

As he spoke, Lin Ze took action.

He opened the Heavenly Gate and first took Ji Qingyan to a small cave.

Immediately afterwards, the coordinates of Zhutianmen were reset and linked to the front of the road that Ji Wangshu must pass. Then, while activating So Close to the End of the World, the coordinates of Zhutianmen were reset again and linked to World No. [-].

On the sea, Ji Wangshu, who was walking on the waves towards Shenjing City with two corpses, suddenly felt his eyes blurry.

They had already arrived from the sea to a small cave world whose end could be seen with the naked eye. A portal had not yet been closed, but Lin Ze had just passed through the portal and turned around to look at him on the other side of the door.

The series of operations just now sounds complicated, but in fact it is very simple.

It's nothing more than choosing a small cave as a cage.

Then use the Zhutian Gate to lock Ji Wangshu's coordinates, then activate the End of the World to shorten the distance between Ji Wangshu and the cave world, bring Ji Wangshu into this cave as a cage through the Zhutian Gate, and finally leave by himself.

"Are you Ji Yu or Dugu Xinghan?"

Lin Ze looked at Ji Wangshu who was staying in the small cave and asked in a calm tone.

"What are you talking about? Just because I don't listen to you, you want to attack me? Qingyan?"

Ji Wangshu frowned and looked at Ji Qingyan, who was standing next to Lin Ze, as if he wanted her to help and beg for mercy.

Ji Qingyan looked at Ji Wangshu blankly, and then at Lin Ze beside her, not knowing what to do.

"You can just stay in this small cave and starve to death without telling me, or you can disappear into nothingness along with this small cave in a few years."

Lin Ze said.

"Okay, I'm Ji Yu. When I was dying, I understood the method of soul leaving the body, so I drained the essence of my body to strengthen the soul and possessed it, looking for an opportunity to reincarnate in Wangshu. How did you find me?"

Ji Wangshu, or Ji Yu, who was possessed by her, had no choice but to compromise and spoke.

He had already observed this small cave and found that there was really nothing, no food or medicine. Even if Lin Ze's words about the destruction of the cave were to scare him, he would really starve to death after a long time.

"The only flaw in the process of banishing you to the cave here just now is that when I activated So Close to the End to change my position, my reaction speed was fast enough that I could detect the changes in the space in advance and avoid it."

"You can hide from land gods, and you can hide from heavenly masters. I don't care about the peerless masters who can't hide. But you didn't hide and were exiled."

"This can only mean that Ji Wangshu's body was taken away from him. The person who took away his body was weak and unable to exert the full power of his body."

Lin Ze said.

"You just wanted to seduce me, let down your guard, hide in Yuperii and seize my body, right?"

Lin Ze said indifferently.

Without the ability to live, people may accept the coming of death, and once there is hope of living, greed will naturally follow.

The spatial magical powers and the ability to travel through time and space displayed by Lin Ze were all coveted by Ji Yu. After he solved the life and death crisis, he would naturally want to give it a try.

"That's not true. At that time, I really felt like I was going to die and wanted to leave a legacy."

Ji Yu defended.

Lin Ze did not comment on this, but chatted with him about another topic.

"Can you tell me about your current state? What is your soul like? What is it like to be in someone else's body? If you can use your soul to occupy other people's bodies, can you survive indefinite reincarnations? "

Lin Ze asked curiously.

If the body is compared to a boat and the soul is compared to a person riding a boat, the longevity method and martial arts practice pursued in today's world is to build an eternal boat that can carry people forward and stay away from the sea called death forever.

But now Ji Yu has taken another path.

The boat that belonged to his body rotted away, but he, the boatman, had developed the ability to swim. Instead of sinking into the sea of ​​death with the decaying boat, he swam to another boat.
