The Great Enlightenment

Ji Yuenian lowered his body and gently grasped the dusty hilt of the long sword.

Yao got up from the wooden bench, stared at the young boy's slender back, and said in a low voice, "That thing is very heavy, you have to be careful."

Under the wooden door, a breeze suddenly picked up.

Pale knuckles tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, but after a few breaths, it slowly loosened.

Ji Yuenian didn't look back, but stood up, pushed open the wooden door, and walked out without saying a word.

The river of stars traverses the sky, blending with the brilliant silver moonlight and falling down, covering every corner of this small village under the mountain.

The biting cold wind swirled past, Ji Yuenian seemed to be soaked in the chill all over his body, and his face became even paler.

Even the black robes transformed by the yin energy of the heavens and the earth seem to have lost all their miraculous effects at this moment, and even the bone-chilling wind in the middle of the night cannot block it.

Ji Yuenian walked tens of feet away, and stopped under a pine tree several feet high.

It has been a long time since he felt the weakness of being an ordinary person.

In this world, countless ordinary people are no different from ants, and Ji Yuenian, who has lost everything at this time, really feels the crisis of being annihilated at any time.

Slightly raising his head, the huge shadow silhouette of this mountain lay before his eyes, under the reflection of the moonlight, he felt extremely oppressive and suffocating.

"It will be Zishi in two hours. If you leave the village without a spiritual spring to resist the cold, you will be frozen to death by the more fierce cold wind!"

The sweet voice of concern passed through the biting and roaring night wind and reached Ji Yuenian's ears.

Ji Yuenian turned his head slightly, and the girl in white clothes was standing in front of the wooden door, looking at him from afar.

This village is called Lingquan Village, and it is located under this moat-like Lingquan Mountain. In the center of the village, there is an inexhaustible gurgling spring that nourishes the few creatures in the village.

This girl's name is Yao, and according to what she said, since she was born, she has never had parents in her memory, only three families living in the village.

As for the name "Yao", it was also chosen by Grandma Sun who lived in the tree hall on the edge of the village.

Grandma Sun once said that when Yao was born, it was extremely rare that Lingquan Village was covered with heavy snow, so she took a word from the ancient book "Ji Jun Yao on the stage, before flying two couplets", and named it The name "Yao" was adopted.

Ji Yuenian nodded imperceptibly to the girl in white clothes standing beside the wooden door, then turned around again and walked towards the edge of Lingquan Village.

In the past few days, Yao had already known Ji Yuenian's temperament, seeing him nodding slightly at this moment, she knew that he would not leave the village, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The night in Lingquan Village is extremely terrifying. The biting cold wind blowing down from the top of Lingquan Mountain is enough to freeze all living beings. As far as Ji Yuenian was concerned, even if he had never left the village, the bitter night wind at Zishi was simply not something he could bear.

After about half a stick of incense, Ji Yuenian's complexion was already extremely pale when he reached the edge of Lingquan Village, but his eyes were still as calm as water, and there was never the slightest ripple.

"you're awake."

An old voice came from the towering tree hall standing on the edge of Lingquan Village.

The tree hall is about thirty feet high, and it is a towering giant pine, but its trunk has been carved into a majestic portal by an unknown force, turning this huge pine into a tree hall.

Ji Yuenian nodded, turned his head to glance at the dreadful darkness outside the village, and then went straight to the gate under the tree hall.

Gusts of cold wind swirled past and disappeared into the darkness outside Lingquan Village without a trace.

If one looked down from the top of Lingquan Mountain, one would be horrified to find that Lingquan Village is simply an isolated village wrapped in boundless darkness!

The darkness is a bottomless nothingness, which cannot be detected at all. Only Lingquan Mountain and Lingquan Village exuding azure blue light stand in the darkness, and it seems that they will be swallowed by the darkness at any time.

Inside the tree hall, there are countless ever-bright fireworks lined up on both sides, reflecting the majestic hall like daytime.

Where Ji Yuenian passed by, those fireworks became even brighter, and the magnificent blazing light rose accordingly, extremely gorgeous.

"Do you know where this is?"

The luxurious lady dressed in brocade embroidered with blue clouds and cranes stepped out of the honored seat deep in the hall, and the next moment she appeared beside Ji Yuenian, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Ji Yuenian could vaguely sense the horror of the noble lady's cultivation, but at this moment, she didn't show any timidity, but shook her head slightly.

He was attacked by the incomparably cold mountain wind just now, and now he is extremely weak. He was able to walk here entirely by the unknown power that surged up in the depths of his blood.

The noble lady looked at Ji Yuenian carefully for a while, then sighed softly after a long while, and said: "Lingquan Mountain is a seal of imperial water that penetrates heaven and earth, named 'Lihen', it is the one who His Royal Highness bestowed upon Princess Ao Li the treasure of body protection."

"Princess Ao Li's fate is tragic. Although I am a weapon spirit living in Lihen, I can only watch the princess disappear without any help."

"According to the order of the princess, this seal has been wandering in the nothingness of the Yinlunyue realm by virtue of its own divine power. When you cultivate to the realm of crossing cause and effect, you can leave the Yinlunyue realm through the connection between blood vessels and go to Beiju Luzhou is looking for you."

"A few days ago, your true spirit and soul were directly captured by Lihen. After careful investigation, I found out that your body was crushed by an unknown ant wild god, and your true spirit was crushed by the power of blood. Hold on, and connect the Lihen within the Yinlunyue realm by yourself."

The noble lady paused, glanced at Ji Yuenian's expression, and said, "The changes in your body are too complicated now, even I can't see clearly, due to the many restrictions set by Princess Aoli , I can't help you really wake up."

Ji Yuenian sensed the hidden meaning in her words, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Really awake?"

"That's right," the luxurious lady nodded, stroking her palms, and all the magnificent fireworks in the temple gathered together, turning into a blazing curtain of fire, "Now your true spirit is in a deep sleep, at this time You are just the soul attached to the true spirit. If the true spirit cannot wake up, you can only maintain the current state of lifelessness and death for a hundred years, and then your soul will be completely silent in the depths of the true spirit. No difference."

Inside the spiritual curtain was an endless darkness, and in the center of the darkness was a group of azure blue flames burning blazingly.

Ji Yuenian stared fixedly at the scene inside the spiritual curtain, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "Ao Li..."

"Don't ask any more," the noble lady seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and the sadness in her eyes became more intense, "Princess Ao Li has been completely annihilated between the heaven and the earth, and this seal of imperial water was left to you by her." The last thing about this matter, Princess Ao Li's good intentions are really touching, and you must not blame her for her selfishness and cowardice. If you one day...can succeed in cultivation, I only hope that you will go to the East Sea On the side of Zhaoming Mountain, take over Princess Aoli's karma."

"If you can awaken the true spirit, I can mobilize Lihen to reshape your body."

"Lihen has been restricted by Princess Aoli, and your current cultivation is too weak, so I can only rely on Chishui's divine power to help you a little bit."

The noble lady turned around and walked towards the depths of the tree hall, getting farther and farther away, but her voice still came from afar very clearly.

"Ji Yuenian, you only have a hundred years. If you can't wake up your true spirit within a hundred years, your soul will sink completely, and you will stay in the depths of hatred forever, and you will never exist between heaven and earth again." Mark of."
