As the formation was activated, the super expert in the Dao Master Realm shouted, "Quickly enter the formation. Remember, if your soul can't bear it, you must crush the token immediately. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Following the Dao Sovereign expert's words, everyone stepped into the formation. Xiao Chen followed behind them. Before he left, Chu Wuming waved his fist at Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, good luck."
Striding out of the formation, Chen Jue and Yang Heng appeared beside Xiao Chen without him noticing. Clearly, the two of them took the initiative to approach him. Looking at Xiao Chen, Yang Heng smiled and didn't say anything. However, Chen Jue said indifferently.
"Break through to the Dao Querying Realm and fight with Young Master Xiao again."
Xiao Chen didn't have a good impression of the two of them. After all, the three of them were still enemies. Therefore, Xiao Chen ignored Chen Jue and stepped into the formation.
The entire array formation was covered by a thick white fog. Not only did the fog block their vision, but it also cut off their other five senses. Inside the array formation, everyone was mute, deaf, and blind.
This was the first time they had seen an illusion formation. They had seen the Sky Lock Formation before. However, the formation of this Path of Dao was stronger than the Sky Lock Formation. To put it bluntly, this was also a holy formation.
Originally, Xiao Chen planned to explore the depths of the formation. However, as he walked, Xiao Chen felt as if his thoughts had stopped. His vision turned black. When he regained consciousness, Xiao Chen had appeared in a completely foreign world.
Around him was a powerful army. Xiao Chen had become an armored general. Without a doubt, Xiao Chen had fallen into an illusion.
He had forgotten his true identity and even his name. It was as if he had started a new life. In this life, Xiao Chen was a general on the battlefield.
Holding a long spear, Xiao Chen charged into the enemy army. His body was covered in blood. Around him were war cries and war drums. Finally, Xiao Chen met an enemy general. When the two met, the enemy general looked at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression.
"Brother, I didn't expect that we would meet again on the battlefield."
"There's no need to say more. Let's fight." Facing the enemy general, Xiao Chen said calmly.
Xiao Chen and this enemy general knew each other. They could even be said to be brothers. In his memory, Xiao Chen and this enemy general were from the same school. They grew up together and practiced martial arts together. Both of them dreamed of becoming a great general revered by thousands.
They had such a dream since they were young. When they grew up, their dreams did come true. However, they didn't know if it was a little joke played by fate. The two of them became generals of two different countries, and these two countries just happened to be enemies.
They each served their own masters. After so many years, they met again on the battlefield. Moreover, they had already become great generals of the enemy army.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the general smiled bitterly. Then, the two of them fought fiercely.
In this life, Xiao Chen was a general. He and his senior brother were generals who fought against each other all their lives. The two of them served their own masters. Once brothers, they became enemies on the battlefield. It wasn't until one day when they grew old that Xiao Chen and his senior brother reunited on the mountain where they learned martial arts when they were young. They didn't mention anything about the battlefield. It was as if they had returned to their childhood. The two of them grew old together and ended their lives.
On the battlefield, the two of them were enemies. They could only bury their brotherly feelings deep in their hearts.
After a lifetime, Xiao Chen's vision darkened again. After an unknown period of time, Xiao Chen ushered in his second life.
In this life, Xiao Chen was a servant in the marketplace. Although he was an orphan, Xiao Chen also had the dream of becoming a general.
He was adopted by a restaurant's shopkeeper when he was young. He worked as an odd-job worker in the restaurant. He did some hard work to fill his stomach.
His status was very low. However, the restaurant's shopkeeper had an only daughter. She liked to follow Xiao Chen around since she was young. Xiao Chen also constantly told her about his dreams.
"In the future, I must become a great general whose name can shake the world." In his spare time, Xiao Chen constantly repeated this sentence to the young girl. Every time she heard this, the young girl would smile and nod.
The days were tough but peaceful. When Xiao Chen was 15 years old, the time finally came. That year, the world was in chaos. The country began to expand the army. The young man also seized this opportunity and successfully signed up for the army, becoming a small soldier.
The night before she left, the young girl took the initiative to find Xiao Chen. She only asked softly, "You said that you will come back and marry me. Is that true?"
When he was young, he had promised the young girl. Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded solemnly and said, "When I become a general, I will definitely come back and marry you."
After giving the young girl a simple promise that could not be any simpler, Xiao Chen left and set foot on the cruel battlefield. After a full ten years, Xiao Chen, who had experienced countless life and death situations and walked back and forth in front of the gates of hell countless times, finally relied on his outstanding military achievements. He went from a small soldier to a powerful general who could shake the world.
Before he was 30 years old, he had already experienced hundreds of battles. Moreover, he was deeply appreciated by the Emperor. He had status and power. The Emperor was even prepared to marry the princess to Xiao Chen. For a time, all the court officials were envious. This could be said to be a carp that had leaped over the dragon's gate.
However, what no one expected was that Xiao Chen would reject the princess of the empire. Regarding this, the Emperor was furious. He believed that Xiao Chen was arrogant because of his achievements. He even dared to reject the princess of the imperial family. He gave Xiao Chen two choices. He could either marry the princess of the imperial family, or his head would fall to the ground.
In the face of the Emperor's decision, Xiao Chen resolutely returned to the small town where he had grown up and went to the restaurant.
After ten years, the restaurant was still there. However, the former shopkeeper had passed away. Now, the person in charge of the restaurant was his daughter, the woman who he had once promised to take care of for the rest of his life.
Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Xiao Chen felt a little uneasy. Ten years had passed. Would she still remember him? Was she married?
Even though he knew that he would die if he rejected the Emperor, Xiao Chen was not afraid in the face of death. After spending half his life in the military, death was something that Xiao Chen was most familiar with.
He wanted to see the girl again. After hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen finally stepped into the restaurant. Everything was still the same as ten years ago. However, in the restaurant, Xiao Chen saw the woman who had always been in his dreams.
She had grown up. She was no longer the little girl from ten years ago. The woman wanted to call out to Xiao Chen. However, when facing Xiao Chen, the woman acted as if she did not know him at all. She personally invited Xiao Chen to sit down. Regarding this, Xiao Chen's heart was filled with grief. It seemed that she had really forgotten about him.
Like ordinary customers, he drank a lot of wine in the restaurant. When he finished the last cup of wine, Xiao Chen was about to get up and leave. However, at this moment, the woman finally spoke.
"This jar of wine was personally buried by my father when I was born. It is called Nu 'er Hong. It can only be taken out on the day of my marriage. Now, you have finished it."
Hearing the woman's words, Xiao Chen burst into tears. He married the woman that night. However, the next day, the army sent by the Emperor arrived in the small town. Because he refused to marry the imperial princess, Xiao Chen was beheaded.
He only accompanied the woman for one day. However, this day was Xiao Chen's life. Ten years later, Xiao Chen fulfilled the promise he had made ten years ago.
Reincarnation after reincarnation, he did not feel anything at all. At this time, Xiao Chen was sitting cross-legged in the array. Following the reincarnation of ten thousand lives in the illusion, Xiao Chen gradually gained a trace of understanding of the Dao.
