Fighter of the Destiny

Zhou Ling stands between heaven and earth, and also stands between two people.

Separated by a distance of hundreds of feet, they were just a small black dot in each other's field of vision.

But they can clearly see each other's eyebrows and the emotions in their eyes.

They don't even need to look to know what the other person is thinking.

No matter how strange he seemed to be over the years, he was still the master and disciple who had lived together in the temple for more than ten years.

I don't know how much time passed, but Shang Xingzhou said, "He is already dead."

Chen Changsheng said: "I don't know the ending of your story back then, but I know that his body is not in this mausoleum."

Shang Xingzhou said: "With that reckless man's temperament, if he was still alive, how could he endure his loneliness and not come out to cause trouble?"

Chen Changsheng was silent for a while and said, "Yes, he should be dead, otherwise Emperor Taizong would not feel at ease."

"Is this your last resort? Use him to scare me?"

Shang Xingzhou looked at him and said sarcastically, "How childish."

Chen Changsheng said: "Yes, I just want to scare you."

Shang Xingzhou said, "Is it interesting?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Looking at your appearance just now, it was really interesting."

After saying this, he laughed and seemed very happy.

It was a rare display of emotion for him.

From this we can judge that he is telling the truth.

The truth hurts the most.

After arriving in Kyoto from Xining Town, whether it was the mother-in-law, maid, or wife in the Dongyu Divine General's Mansion or the students in the Ivy Courtyards, including Tang Sanliu, they had all been hurt by Chen Changsheng's truth. Even though Shang Xingzhou was his master, he still couldn't bear it.

Shang Xingzhou's eyes became colder.

He looked at Chen Changsheng at the end of the tomb passage and took a step forward.

In the Zhou Garden, he could not show the power of rules above the sacred realm, and naturally he could not ignore the space.

He failed to come directly to Chen Changsheng.

In fact, the distance he took with this step was just one step, neither too far nor too close.

The wind rises from under your feet.

The green Taoist clothes were straight.

Hundreds of looming clear lights rushed along the tomb passage towards the main entrance of Zhou Mausoleum.

The wind was strong, and countless floating ash grew on the surrounding wilderness, gradually covering up the sky and the sun, and the world became dark.

Countless dense yet clear cutting sounds echoed in the dim world.

Countless straight and deep marks appeared on the surface of the tomb passage and the boulders on both sides.

The surface of some boulders turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, then crisped up and was blown into the finest gravel by the wind.

Those clear lights may seem ordinary, but in fact they are hidden in the flow of all things. They are a concrete manifestation of Taoism and have unimaginable power.

Shang Xingzhou attacked with all his strength, and with thousands of Taoist methods within him, how could Chen Changsheng be able to defeat him?

On the other side of the field, the bullock and the mountain bullock slowly stood up and turned into two black hills.

Somewhat strangely, these two terrifying giant beasts did not go to rescue Chen Changsheng, but retreated into the sandstorm flying in the sky.

Due to the obstruction of Zhou Ling, Shang Xingzhou was not able to see this scene, nor was he able to see the ground exposed after the bull beast and the mountain bullock left.

The two giant beasts have been lying silently to the north of Zhou Tomb, just to block the ground.

They were four altar-like things. They were already very dilapidated, but it could still be vaguely seen that they were supposed to be monument pedestals.

Suddenly, the strong wind in the wilderness and the grasslands beyond disappeared, and the sandstorm also disappeared.

The warm sun reappeared on the edge of the grassland, hanging there quietly.

Zhou Ling became extremely silent.

Thousands of dharma representing the principles of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared.

A thin rope broke silently, and four stone beads fell from Chen Changsheng's wrist, rolling down along the tomb passage and the slope of the mausoleum.

Those stone beads looked very ordinary, with nothing special about them, and there was nothing magical about the falling process. They made a bone-crushing sound when they rolled on the tomb passage, and made a crisp sound when they collided with the boulders, as if they would fall in the next moment. If you fall into the gap between the boulders, you will never be able to roll out again, or you will be smashed to pieces.

Regardless of probability or rules, this is very likely to happen.

However, none of these scenes happened.

The four stone beads rolled through the tomb passage and over the boulders. They seemed to be random and without any purpose, but they were extremely accurate and headed towards the four altars in the north of Zhou Tomb. It seems that in the process of rolling down, these four stone beads have given themselves attributes such as meaning and purpose.

As time goes by, disorder is tending to order, and chance has become inevitable. This is completely inconsistent with the legal rules of heaven and earth.

Or is it because these four stone beads are beyond the rules?

…

…

It makes no sense, but it feels natural.

The four stone beads came to the bottom of the Zhou Tomb and fell into the four altar-like things.

The wind picked up again and then suddenly became chaotic. With an extraordinarily vast and profound feeling, four stone tablets appeared between the sky and the earth.

The earth shook uneasily, and the incomprehensible howls of monsters came from the grassland.

The surface of those black stone tablets is very smooth, engraved with complicated and difficult-to-understand lines, as if they have void-like magic power.

It was the Heavenly Book stele that was taken away from the Heavenly Book Mausoleum by Zhou Du|fu.

The light from the sky and the wind in the wilderness continued to pour into the surface of the Heavenly Book Monument, and then disappeared into unknown places.

Countless grass clippings and broken soil and gravel also went with it, but they did not disappear.

As if going back in time, the sand gradually enveloped the Heavenly Book Monument and turned it into a stone pillar. The surface even looked like it had been eroded by wind and rain.

Shang Xingzhou looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "As expected, the Heavenly Book Monument fell into your hands."

Chen Changsheng said: "Yes."

In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, he chose to challenge Shang Xingzhou in Zhou Garden. There was another reason.

With his current state, he simply cannot comprehend the ultimate secret of the Heavenly Book Monument, and naturally cannot use it.

When he met the Demon Lord in the Snow Ridge and faced the Angel of Holy Light in Baidi City, he could only use the Heavenly Book Monument as an infinitely heavy, indestructible weapon.

Only in Zhou Garden could he exert at least part of the true power of the Heavenly Book Monument.

Because here are the altars and formations set up by Zhou Du|fu.

The stone pillar that the Heavenly Book Monument turned into was not stable, and its surface kept cracking and then recovering again.

Countless distant and vicissitudes of life overflowed from those cracks, turning into terrifying clear light.

Four clear lights fell from the sky, exactly where Shang Xingzhou was.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?"

Shang Xingzhou turned his palm and slapped it upward.

He stood on the ground, and when he stretched out his hand, he seemed to touch the sky.

There was a soft snap.

Clear light flows between the sky.

Shang Xingzhou's face became a little pale, but his expression remained indifferent.

"Now it's your choice."

The clear light circulated, and several very fine cracks appeared faintly on the sky.

The frightened screams of the beasts could be heard from the depths of the grassland. I wonder if they were recalling the day when Zhou Garden was about to be destroyed a few years ago.

If Chen Changsheng continues to attack Shang Xingzhou with the Heavenly Book Monument, he is very likely to win.

But it is also possible that Zhouyuan will be destroyed before that happens.

This is the choice Chen Changsheng has to make.

At this moment, he really missed those swords.
