At this moment, Yun Yang and Dong Qitian were already ten thousand miles away from the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Along the way, the two of them were not in a hurry.
With their speed, the journey of tens of thousands of miles could be covered in a day. However, since Yun Yang was not in a hurry, Dong Qitian was even less anxious.
Along the way, it was like they were on a sightseeing tour.
"The Xuanhuang World … has changed a lot."
Dong Qitian stood with his arms behind his back, gliding across the clouds. Thousands of mountains and rivers flitted past beneath his feet, but the landscape of the land was already in full view.
"Different from four thousand years ago?"
Yun Yang teased from the side.
"It's more than just different." Dong Qitian's eyes were vast as he inhaled softly. "The world has been turned upside down!"
"Elder Dong, it has been more than a year and you haven't gone out many times." Yun Yang deliberated over his choice of words and said faintly, "What you're afraid of is that things remain the same, but people have changed, right?"
Dong Qitian smiled and said, "That's right. I haven't been around for thousands of years. My family … disciples, friends, children, family … are all gone."
"When one gets older, the more it is like this, the easier it is to be sad. Every time I find a familiar place, there is no one I know anymore … That kind of sadness is the most desolate …"
Dong Qitian chuckled softly. There seemed to be frost gathering between his brows. "Yun Yang, do you know what makes a man old?"
"Why do people grow old?"
Yun Yang frowned.
"This includes ordinary people who don't know martial arts, Saint Emperors, Saint Venerables, and Saint Emperors …" Dong Qitian's voice was indifferent. "Why do people age?"
Yun Yang frowned. There were countless things he could say if he wanted to continue the conversation, but he knew that Dong Qitian must have a reason for saying that.
The frost between Dong Qitian's brows grew thicker.
"Heaven is heartless, but Heaven is not old."
"People have feelings, so they grow old."
"Man grows old for the sake of love."
Dong Qitian said faintly, "To put it bluntly, it's the hardening of time and all sorts of things that lead to aging. If a person doesn't experience anything, doesn't experience life and death, doesn't experience anything … "
"If one can maintain a pure and innocent heart from a young age, then no matter what, this person will age slower than others."
Yun Yang nodded slowly.
This sentence made sense.
"And I … am also afraid." Dong Qitian looked at the mountains in the distance with a distant gaze. "I don't want to be reminded of this again and again … I won't be able to take it if I do that."
"It's not for longevity, but because … I don't want to bear it."
Yun Yang nodded silently.
Dong Qitian had been staying in the Residence of Nine Supremes all this while.
"Actually, I think that aging has something to do with it, but not very much. Even if you can maintain a pure and innocent heart for your entire life … for example, a fool who doesn't know anything will live a muddle-headed life, but he will also grow old and die. "
Yun Yang spoke slowly, "One has to experience everything in life … only then can one see through the mundane world and walk to the peak in one's heart. Throughout the ages, there have been countless heroes, but no matter how much they pursued immortality, most of them were buried in the soil."
"Many of them chose the path of emotionlessness and desolation," Ye Zichen said. Yun Yang said slowly, "It's the same path that Senior Dong is taking now, but their paths will come to an end as they walk."
Dong Qitian frowned in silence, his eyes deep in thought as he said slowly, "What do you mean?"
Yun Yang spoke bluntly, "What I mean is, senior, you're walking the wrong path. The more you run, the more you'll feel like a block in your heart. In this world, we must treasure what we should treasure and protect what we don't want to lose with our lives. This is what we should and must do! However, we must let go of what we've lost! "
"Treasure what we should treasure and protect what we don't want to lose with our lives … We must let go of what we've lost …"
Dong Qitian shuddered.
"The path that senior is taking is already beyond the realm of celestial beings."
Yun Yang enunciated each word clearly, "I'm afraid that you'll hold yourself back if you're complacent now."
"Just like what you've said, senior, love is everything in the mundane world. We can't be heartless, but we can't block our path just because we're afraid of being heartless. "
"If senior goes on like this, I'm afraid … this realm will be the end. However, if we can see through this, the supreme path will be just around the corner! "
Dong Qitian fell silent.
Along the way, he didn't say another word.
However, Yun Yang's words were still echoing in his heart.
When the Lei Family's courtyard came into sight …
Dong Qitian suddenly heaved a long sigh. His exhalation was accompanied by a faint, dark gray gas. At this moment, Yun Yang could clearly feel endless sorrow, pain, reluctance, regret, and guilt …
Countless emotions that could drive a person insane were spat out of Dong Qitian's mouth in a miraculous manner.
Dong Qitian exhaled and was silent for a long time. However, Yun Yang could feel that Dong Qitian's aura, who was beside him, was rising continuously!
After a long time, Dong Qitian asked softly, "Yun Yang, you're not that old. Why do you have such an epiphany?"
He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Most of the time, the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the person involved. However, you're … a little too young. "
Yun Yang was silent for a moment. Pain flashed across his eyes as he said slowly, "It's because … what I've lost … is much more than what you've lost! If I can't learn to let go … I'm already beyond redemption now. "
He said calmly, "Senior, loyalty will always be in your heart, but you don't have to remind yourself of it all the time."
Dong Qitian was visibly moved. "That's right!"
He could feel that his soul had been ascending step by step in these few days.
His state of mind was much more relaxed.
The mountains and rivers around him seemed to be filled with beauty. It was indescribably pleasing to the eye, no longer as lifeless as before.
"Is this the place?" He asked with a smile.
Yun Yang was relieved as well. Dong Qitian's tone was light, and there was even a hint of a smile in it. Although it did not mean that the knot in his heart had been untied, it was already much better than before!
"Yes, this is the place." Yun Yang nodded. "This is the place where I met Bai Bingxuan. Hmm, a little cat demon."
Dong Qitian smiled faintly. "It might not be a little … cat demon. Hmm, we'll talk after you find them. "
"Alright."
Yun Yang followed the initial arrangement and found the direction after a brief inspection. "If I'm not mistaken, it's where I set it up …"
"Let's go."
Dong Qitian said faintly and rolled his sleeves. With a swoosh, Yun Yang felt a flash before his eyes, and he had already crossed the mountains and rivers, arriving at the top of a mountain seven thousand miles away.
"Teleportation!"
Yun Yang's eyes were practically green.
Dong Qitian's move was beyond Yun Yang's expectations. This was a true godly move!
Teleporting seven thousand miles in an instant without batting an eyelid!
It was absolutely appalling!
"This should be about the same, right?"
Yun Yang sensed it and was rather speechless. "We still have to go back a little …"
"How much?"
"About eight hundred miles."
His vision blurred again before he could finish his sentence.
They had arrived at a dense forest.
Yun Yang had even discovered traces of Bai Bingxuan and the others with his deific consciousness!
"If Elder Dong were to assist me with all his might when I'm on the road in the future … wouldn't I be able to cross mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye?" Yun Yang's imagination ran wild.
"I'm just showing you this time … As for the future, don't even think about it!" Dong Qitian snorted and rolled his eyes.
…
Bai Bingxuan and the others were waiting day and night for the Haunting Soul that suddenly appeared and disappeared!
For more than a month, the Haunting Soul had appeared three to four times, but it was only a hair's breadth away each time!
Although the black-robed man had been right beside them twice, the Haunting Soul had appeared suddenly and escaped even faster! Even the black-robed man's attack was futile!
He had already caught it, but when he opened his hand, there was nothing there!
He did not know when it had disappeared without a trace!
Out of the four consecutive times, he had caught nothing twice. The black-robed man was starting to doubt his own life.
'Bai Bingxuan can catch it so easily. I've locked the space, imprisoned the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and sealed the spirit vein of the mountains and rivers, but it's still not enough?'
Now, Bai Bingxuan was even more confident in Yun Yang.
Sect Leader Yun's setup was indeed impressive!
This cooperation should not be a loss.
Now, the black-robed man was afraid that he would lose his Haunting Soul, so he hid far away on a big tree that was bathed in sunlight.
Below him, Bai Bingxuan and the others spread out, crawling in the dark forest, not moving an inch.
Right in the middle, in the darkest spot, were a few sets of white bones. Scattered spiritual energy was scurrying around like headless flies, but it could not travel more than a hundred feet away.
In order to lure the Nightmare Soul, the black-robed man came out of the mountain for a day and a night. He massacred two to three sects in the vicinity, as well as more than ten groups of bandits that gathered in the forest. There were thousands of souls that were captured by him, broken and thrown here!
The entire forest was already filled with the cries of ghosts and the air was eerie.
With such a rich spiritual energy, if there was really a Haunting Soul around, it would definitely come!
This was the best method of capturing a Haunting Soul that had been passed down in the Bound of Universe! It was absolutely foolproof!
The place was filled with ghosts.
Bai Bingxuan dared not move.
Although she knew it was fake, she could not let the cat out of the bag.
Once she was suspected by the black-robed man, she would be finished!
Freedom and revenge aside, she would even lose her life in an instant!
A shadow floated over at an extremely fast speed.
Haunting Soul!
From afar, the black-robed man instantly concealed his presence again. The previous two times, because his presence disturbed the Haunting Soul, he left before it even arrived. He was filled with regret.
This time, he could not make the same mistake!
Bai Bingxuan also noticed it.
Her palms were also sweating.
Don't let me catch you, if I catch you … I will be exposed.
But at this moment, the drifting Haunting Soul suddenly sped up and charged into the eerie place.
Bai Bingxuan heard a clap of thunder in her ears, "Catch!"
She subconsciously pounced forward, her white clothes flashed, and she grabbed it.
The Haunting Soul did not seem to be able to escape in time, or perhaps there was something on Bai Bingxuan that attracted it. It did not resist, and instead, when it was about to be caught, it seemed to rush towards Bai Bingxuan's hand.
In the next moment, a cloud of black smoke was already caught in Bai Bingxuan's hand.
The black-robed man looked from afar, the last trace of doubt in his heart instantly disappeared: It seemed like the deathly air on Bai Bingxuan was indeed what the Haunting Soul liked the most …
With a flash of his black robe, he crossed thousands of feet and appeared in front of Bai Bingxuan. He stretched out his hand, "Let me see."
Bai Bingxuan felt her mind go blank.
How did she catch it?
How did she catch it?
She was doomed now …
With a pale face, she stretched out her trembling hand.
She opened her fair and tender palm, and suddenly, a mass of black smoke, which had already taken on a substantial form, twisted and wriggled in her palm like a snake. The black-robed man cackled and reached out to grab it. She was still praising, "Good stuff …"
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly shot out!
From the black smoke, an extremely dazzling saber radiance suddenly burst out!
Without the slightest hesitation, the saber slashed towards the black-robed man!
The black-robed man snorted in a hurry, casually blocking the attack with his outstretched hand. With a clang, there was only a thin trace of blood on the black-robed man's hand. Then, a cloud of mist evaporated and the trace disappeared instantly.
The black smoke on the opposite side trembled abruptly and retreated a hundred feet, shaking all over. Then, a loud cry rang out, "Quick, attack!"
It was Yun Yang's voice.
This attack was arranged by Dong Qitian to let Yun Yang try it out. However, once Yun Yang made his move, he knew that this person was not someone he could handle now.
When the other party was completely defenseless, he used his full cultivation and the unparalleled sharpness of the Blade of Heaven's Will to slash at the other party's hand. Yet, only a thin line of blood was left on it!
This person's cultivation base was already at the pinnacle!
Yun Yang could not gauge the level of the other party at all!
The black smoke disappeared instantly, and a light breeze drifted out.
The black-robed man's gaze was eerie as he said coldly, "You're here, and you still want to leave?"
He reached out with his hand!
With a loud boom.
Yun Yang suddenly felt as if his surroundings were made of fine gold and mithril. The space had completely turned into a highly dense metal, and his wind cloud form could not be maintained at all.
With a bang, he was squeezed out by the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his form was revealed.
"So you're just a wet behind the ears!" The black-robed man snorted, glaring at Yun Yang cruelly. "Junior, who are you?"
Although Yun Yang's eyes could see that there was nothing around him, he could only feel the indestructible density of the space. He could not even move his feet, let alone escape.
Only his mouth could move his entire body, and that was purposely left by the other party for him to reply.
"I'm your grandfather!" Yun Yang scolded.
The black-robed man blinked. Suddenly, a cloud of black mist burst out of his eye sockets as he said faintly, "Die if you don't speak!"
The black mist rushed towards Yun Yang's eyes with a swoosh!
At this moment, there was a swoosh in the air. Dong Qitian's voice carried a hint of mockery as he said, "How domineering. Are all the members of the Demon Race so domineering now?"
As the voice rang, Yun Yang felt the air around him regaining its flow!
A black sleeve suddenly waved in front of him, and Dong Qitian's silhouette slowly appeared before Yun Yang. His eyes shone with a sharp glint as he said faintly, "Which one of the Demon Race are you?"
Yun Yang focused his gaze and saw that the black-robed man who had been so arrogant earlier could no longer move.
A hand, like an iron hoop, firmly clutched his throat.
It was Dong Qitian's hand.
Although the black-robed man was captured, there was no hint of panic on his face. His eerie eyes stared at Dong Qitian, and he actually let out an eerie chuckle, saying with great interest, "Dong Qitian?"
Dong Qitian narrowed his eyes. "You recognize me?"
The black-robed man chuckled strangely and said, "I recognize you. Do you find it strange? Then, do you recognize this technique? "
