The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

It has been two months since Xiao Chen returned to the Ancient Eight Wastelands Alliance. He explained everything to Liu San and Xinyuehu. Unexpectedly, he has become the Canglong among all the Canglongs who has been in the Canglong Palace for the shortest time and is about to leave. , looking at the past generations of Canglong, it can last for hundreds of years or as short as decades. How can he be like this, who has just been here for more than two years and is about to leave?

"Palace Master..."

In front of the Canglong Palace, Liu San's voice was choked, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Even if he had assisted three Canglongs, the one with the shortest tenure had been in office for a hundred years, and the previous Canglong had been in office for more than 300 years. But in front of him, Xiao Chen, the time he stayed in Canglong Palace was only more than two years, not counting the time he went out in between.

I still remember that when Xiao Chen was just now, the Canglong Palace had been without an owner for hundreds of years and was being oppressed by the Xuanwu Palace. Everyone was suffering miserably. At that time, the Canglong Palace was almost gone. It was completely dependent on him. As soon as he came, Canglong Palace changed everything. The enemy did not dare to invade even half a step further.

I still remember that at the beginning, Liu San originally planned to let the new Canglong go to the Canglong Secret Realm to practice. He would arrange other things, such as Xuanwu Hall, to prevent the new Canglong from encountering unexpected events. How could he have thought that... This new Canglong was so great that he was overly worried about everything.

I still remember the day they first arrived, the two of them went to the Palace of Eternal Life, holding the soul lamp of the old Canglong. The Palace of Eternal Life was dark and dark, filled with deceased Canglongs of all generations. The eyes were full of desolation. Liu San felt so desolate at that time, he I have already seen three Canglong die, and I don’t want to see the fourth Canglong die too.

"If one day you are outside and your soul lamp goes out, I will have to put it in the Palace of Eternal Life with my own hands... Hey, bah, bah, bah! Look at my mouth, what nonsense am I talking about? …”

"It's okay, you were right."

The scenes of that day seemed to reappear at this moment.

"Elder Liu..."

"Hey, Palace Master, I'm here, please tell me."

"If one day my soul lamp goes out, you can put it in the Palace of Eternal Life for me."

The entire hall fell silent for a moment. Liu San stood motionless, looking at him with dull eyes, which gradually became moist. Finally, he nodded, "Hey... I listen to the hall master..."

"Nonsense! Nonsense! You two are just talking nonsense here!"

At this time, Xinyuehu walked up. It was obvious that she was feeling sad and reluctant to leave. She was no worse than Liu San. She came between the two of them, pushed them away from each other, and said angrily, "Speak nicely." Isn’t it okay?”

Although Xiao Chen has been in office for the shortest time among all the Canglongs, he is the most special one and the most vivid in people's memory. Whether it is Liu San or Xinyue Hu, even if it is hundreds or thousands of years ago, he may still be interested in people at that time. Remember, once upon a time, there was a Canglong...

"Elder Xinyue, go and sort out some old files of Canglong Palace for me. Elder Liu and I have something to say."

Xiao Chen looked at Xinyuehu. Next, he needed to figure out some more things. He couldn't go out to the Nine Heavens in such a confused manner.

"Well, then..."

In the end, Xinyuehu went to the library pavilion, while Xiao Chen and Liu San entered the Canglong Hall. They were still the only two people in the huge hall.

"Palace Master, what did you want to say just now?"

Liu San could tell that the palace master had deliberately pushed Xinyuehu away. There must be something else that was very important and he needed to talk to him alone.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's appearance gradually became serious. Finally, the two of them walked to the head of the palace. Liu San couldn't help but ask, "But it has something to do with Jiuzhong Tianwai?"

"good."

Xiao Chen really wanted to figure out some things. If he had never been to the Black Emperor's Abyss, he might not have any doubts, but now, he always felt that those things were not as simple as they seemed. After a while, he asked "Have there been many Canglongs who went to the Nine Heavens in the past?"

Seeing him asking about this matter again, Liu San's expression became serious. He thought for a while and said, "According to the files left by Canglong Palace in the past, it is indeed true. As early as thousands of years ago, there were many generations of Canglong." , they went to the Nine Heavens…”

"There is a record in the file. What did they do when they went to the Nine Heavens?" Xiao Chen asked.

"this……"

Liu San thought for a while and finally shook his head, "There are not many records about these in the file, but I think it should be related to the first generation of Canglong... maybe? Or, like this time you went to Jiuzhong Tianwai, it was just to find , several palace masters from the Ancient Eight Desolations Alliance, several ancient powerful men..."

Hearing what he said at this moment was unclear, Xiao Chen even frowned, and Liu San said again, "But since more than three thousand years ago, no Canglong has ever been to the Nine Heavens, because every subsequent A generation of blue dragons are all dead..."

"I know that."

Xiao Chen concentrated his attention. This is what Black Emperor said before. Back then, a mysterious man secretly manipulated Canglong's spiritual veins, which caused Canglong's luck to decline. Therefore, every generation of Canglong would inevitably die in the end. In this way, naturally no Canglong can go to the Nine Heavens. Is all this... connected in some way?

And one more thing, why is it the Canglong...

"Palace Master, what did you think of?"

At this time, Liu San saw his thoughtful look and asked, Liu San himself didn't know much about the past events of Canglong Palace, and those files were half-spoken and half-revealed. Anyway, at the beginning, None of the Canglongs who went to the Nine Heavens came back. When they left, they did not take the Canglong masks with them. But this time, the three elders of Bahuang Palace who could not hide themselves asked the palace master to take the Canglong mask with them. Wear a mask as well, as a token.

"fine."

Xiao Chen finally stopped asking any more questions, but at this moment, he was even more convinced of one thing. Going to the Nine Heavens was unusual. The three elders of the Eight Desolate Halls did not tell him everything, and they would not tell him anything. So, in this case, he would never tell the other party about the Black Emperor.

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, Xinyuehu walked in with some files. Seeing that she had brought so many files, no disciples helped her. Liu San immediately walked down and shared some of the files for her. The two of them picked up these bamboo slips and jade slips. , a table full of them.

Xiao Chen said, "It doesn't matter. Tonight, I plan to read the records in these files again, and then go to Bahuang Palace tomorrow." Obviously, he planned to sort things out first, and then go to Jiuzhongtianwai.

That night, the entire Canglong Palace was quiet. Liu San had gone back to prepare for other things. Xinyuehu and Xiao Chen were the only two people in the entire hall.

Xiao Chen was carefully looking through the past files of Canglong Palace. The records in these files were all left thousands of years ago. How can bamboo slips be preserved for thousands of years? Even if magic is cast, they will inevitably be damaged, so these records The files were copied by hand from generation to generation. As the files were copied many times, it was inevitable that there would be omissions and mistakes.

As for some very important records, they are engraved on the "jade slips" with spiritual power. Jade slips are not easy to perish. As long as they are properly preserved, they will be fine even if they are kept for thousands of years. However, jade slips also have inconveniences. Once it is shocked by spiritual power or invaded by external forces, the words stored in it may be scattered with the spiritual power. Therefore, the jade slips will be inspected for damage every once in a while.

At this moment, Xiao Chen carefully looked through the past records about Canglong in the past, as well as the major events that happened in Canglong Palace at that time. In order to avoid making mistakes, he did not directly scan them with his spiritual consciousness, but carefully checked every word and every sentence, and then Connect them in series to see if you can find any loopholes and doubts.

In this way until late at night, Xinyuehu sat next to him, leaning on one hand and half-opening his eyelids, almost falling asleep. "Master, how long are you going to watch..."

"It doesn't matter. If Elder Xinyue is sleepy, just go and rest. There is no need to wait for me."

Xiao Chen still held the file in his hand and looked at it with a frown. Xinyuehu raised his head and shook his head a few times, "No, no, no, you have to leave tomorrow. I promised that I would accompany you..."

She sat aside again and looked through other files. But for some reason, every time she looked through the files in Canglong Palace, she felt very sleepy. Finally, she lay on the table and fell asleep, murmuring softly as if in sleep. He murmured, "Ajiu, Ajiu, where have you been... It's better this time. Canglong is gone, and the descendants of Canglong are also missing... From now on, Canglong Hall will be deserted again..."

Xiao Chen looked at her and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart. He picked up the clothes lying aside and gently put them on her body, and then continued to pick up the file and read it.

From these files, he found some clues from thousands of years ago. It seemed that a long time ago, a Canglong went to the Nine Heavens. As for how many years it had been, there was no detailed record. In the subsequent thousands of years, he did not know where he went. After many generations of Canglong, until three thousand years ago, no Canglong continued to ascend.

Regarding these, Xiao Chen feels that it is not as simple as the surface record, but he can't tell where the blame lies. He always feels that there are many things to be solved. The Tao of Reincarnation in the Ancient Times and the Eight Desolate Alliance in the Ancient Times. These two have been fighting since the ancient times to the present. Although the huge forces of the former have declined now, the strong men of the former cannot come out of the ancient world, and the strong men of the latter have gone to the Nine Heavens and have never been heard from again...

As for his father, Lao Canglong, everything, perhaps this time, will come to light.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought about the last time the Heavenly Outer Heaven attacked. They wanted to destroy some seals in the human world. But when the Heavenly Demon abandoned Cangtian and appeared later, he found that the Nine Nether Emperor, the Sinking Demon Emperor, and the Nine Sons Ghost Mother were all dead. A strong man who lived thousands of years ago turned out to be a "puppet" manipulated by others, and the "Guixu Realm" was actually involved in it.

There is no need to think about it. Xiao Chen will definitely not be able to go to the Guixu Realm. He can't go now and he won't be able to go in the future. The last place he can go to should be outside the Nine Levels. Everything will be in the Nine Levels. The truth is coming out, but I don’t know if he can bring the truth back at that time...

What if I really can't come back? According to these files in the past, all the Canglongs who went to the Nine Heavens, generation after generation, have not come back. And those Canglongs at that time, each generation, were the strongest experts in the Ancient Eight Desolations Alliance at that time, with cultivation levels higher than his. Much higher……

This time, he obviously wanted to change Wei Yang's fate and go to the Nine Heavens, but in fact, he truly stepped into the center of the vortex of this eternal situation.

Find out, the person who laid out the eternal plan.

The sky is the chessboard, the earth is the board, and the gods and demons of all ages are the pawns. He doesn't believe that he is just such a pawn. In other words, even the Ancient Eight Desolations Alliance and the Ancient Reincarnation Path are just chess pieces, the biggest chess pieces ever.

Oh, yes, he can see those immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas who have passed away forever. The shadows of those immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas, even if they have been dead for tens of millions of years, are still surrounding him, but rather than surrounding him, it is better to say... …There was no way to escape him. If he goes to the Nine Heavens, the secrets of the gods and demons on his body will surely be revealed to some extent, right?

And back then, he might have forgotten the mysterious hexagonal stone plate he picked up in that lost ancient world under the desert of death. If he hadn't suddenly remembered it, he might have forgotten that his body was completely destroyed during the last thousand eons. The small stone plate was not damaged at all.

I don't know when it was already dawn, Xinyuehu opened her hazy sleepy eyes, and saw that he had not slept all night, and murmured softly, "You really watched the whole night..."

"Elder Xinyue, you're awake."

Xiao Chen finally put down the files in his hands. He had already read these files and there was nothing more to read. Next, he had to go to the Eight Desolate Palace to prepare for the Nine Heavens.

Canglong Palace has now recovered its aura, and everything is waiting for improvement. There are still many things to do. Xiao Chen did not make a big fanfare, and he kept the matter of going to Jiuzhongtianwai secret. He only told Liu San and Xinyuehu. He left today and asked Liu San not to send him away. However, Xinyuehu insisted on sending him away from the realm of Canglong Peak, but after sending you thousands of miles away, he had to say goodbye in the end.

"Um... you, you are about to leave, can you promise me one last thing?"

Outside Wanxia Pass, Xinyuehu was reluctant to leave and held on to the corner of his clothes. Maybe if we say goodbye today, we will never see each other again. In the past, none of the Canglong who went to the Nine Heavens came back... for thousands of years. It has been thousands of years, and no one even knows whether he is alive or dead.

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her, knowing what she had been thinking about. At this time, he slowly took the Canglong mask on his face and slowly took it off.

Xinyue Fox was also stunned. They were exactly the same. Sure enough, they were the same person. He was not the original Canglong, not the Canglong who had given the mask to Old Canglong...

"etc!"

Xinyuehu suddenly grabbed his hand again. At this time, her body began to tremble slightly. She finally asked word by word, "Who was the person who brought me out of the Yanyu?" …”

"it's me."

These two words echoed clearly in Xinyuehu's ears, and then Xiao Chen added, "The person you saw in Canglong Palace has always been me."

The wind blew gently around the two of them. Xinyuehu looked at him with moist eyes, and finally hugged him hard.

"Xin...Elder Xinyue?"

The sudden scene made Xiao Chen a little at a loss, but in the end, he gently put his hand on her back. The two hugged each other at this moment, probably like the reluctance of friends when parting.

"Has the injury from last time healed?"

"Already, it's okay..."

Xinyuehu's voice was suddenly choked with sobs, but in the end, she let go of him. Xiao Chen said, "If I fail to come back in the end, Ah Jiu... will come back to inherit the position of Canglong. I'm leaving, Elder Xinyue, Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Xiao Chen walked forward without looking back. Xinyuehu looked at his figure walking further and further away, and suddenly chased after him, "Canglong!"

"Elder Xinyue, is there anything else?"

Xiao Chen stopped and turned to look at her. At this time, Xinyuehu's eyes were already red and filled with tears. She said loudly, "Can you please not go?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment and wanted to laugh, but how could he laugh? Finally he said, "I won't go, why don't you go?"

"I'm going!"

Xinyuehu shouted with all her strength, tears already falling down her face from one eye. Xiao Chen stared at her blankly, and finally shook his head, "Fool, go back." He said and never looked back.

"Hello--"

Xinyue Fox suddenly caught up with her again and stood on a small hillside. There were a few small camellias swaying in the wind at her feet. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her figure: "Elder Xinyue , is there anything else?"

At this moment, Xinyuehu could only look at him from a distance, with tears streaming down her face, "I'll be waiting for you in Canglong Palace for ten thousand years."

"I'll wait for you ten thousand years..."

"I'll wait for you ten thousand years..."

Many years later, maybe this voice will still linger in Xiao Chen's ears, even though by then, he has returned to where he should have been.

This time, he never looked back. There was a surge of true energy in his body. It was actually his conception of immortality that had broken through. At this moment, he finally completely broke through the seventh level of "the realm of separation from hatred". "There is no news about the coming of wild geese, and it is difficult to realize the dream of returning home after a long journey. A separation from hatred is like grass in spring. The farther you travel, the more you will live."

There are two levels of the realm of immortality, the eighth level is the "returning realm", and the final ninth level is... "the realm of neither birth nor death".

…

"Canglong, are you ready?"

"Ready, please elders, please open the formation."

"Remember, after entering the passage, you are not allowed to stay in it. You must go outside the Nine Heavens in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, with the magic power of a few of us and the formation of the entire Eight Desolate Alliance, I may not be able to sustain it for long. ”

"Once the power of the formation is completely exhausted, you will be trapped in the passage, unable to get out or go up. Eventually, your soul will gradually dissipate..."

"After I go to the Nine Heavens, how will I come back?"

"..."

"ok, I get it."

This trip was a one-way trip. The elders had no choice but to send him up, and there was no way to bring him back. Whether he could come back again depended on himself.

"I'm leaving. Canglong Palace. I'd like to ask some elders to look after me. If I still haven't returned after a hundred years, then my disciple 'Jiu'er' will be the next generation of Canglong."

…

Entering the formation, his vision went dark. Xiao Chen couldn't feel anything anymore. It was as if his soul had drifted into the void again. This feeling was just like when he and Luodie came out of the Tomb of Gods and Demons and drifted away in the boundless sky. The void was a bit cold, and there was no sound around. Only Elder Xinyue's words, "I'll wait for you for ten thousand years," seemed to still linger in my ears.
