The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"You...you can actually come back from reincarnation!"

Gong Yuerong's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of surprise that was hard to conceal. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, with a complex light flashing in them, shock, confusion and disbelief intertwined, and her eyes looked back and forth at Li Muchen, as if she was examining a strange existence that she had never seen before.

"You seem surprised?" Li Muchen said with a smile, "Do you hope that I will die in there?"

"I thought you would be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and unable to get out." Gong Yuerong said, "You are the second person who can return from the cycle of reincarnation. Before you, only one person has done it."

"Who is that person?" Li Muchen asked.

Gong Yuerong did not answer, but just smiled and said: "You know how worried I am about you, I am really afraid that you can't get out!"

"What happens if I can't get out?"

"If you can't come out, for me, it will be like losing a companion and having a cold corpse by my side. For you, it will be reincarnation after reincarnation, just like all other living beings in the world."

Li Muchen sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Gong Yuerong asked curiously, "You have already succeeded, and you don't have to enter the reincarnation cycle anymore."

"I am not sighing for myself, I am sighing for all living beings..."

Li Muchen recalled the memories of reincarnation, the thousands and thousands of experiences from birth to death. To him now, it was just a dream, but just now, those experiences were still so real, as if he was really living endlessly for life after life.

“Although I am liberated, all sentient beings are not yet liberated.”

Gong Yuerong burst out laughing: "You sound like Buddha. Do you want to save all living beings?"

Li Muchen shook his head: "Buddha can only sail on the sea of ​​suffering and ferry people to the other side, but he cannot eliminate the sea of ​​suffering. Although the boat is good, how many people can it ferry? If the way of heaven is not broken, all living beings will not be liberated!"

Gong Yuerong's eyes were filled with surprise, and she murmured, as if in a state of madness, "If he wasn't in front of you, I would have mistaken you for him..."

Li Muchen frowned slightly, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to ask, Gong Yuerong suddenly said seriously:

"After reincarnation, there will be the trial of the Immaculate. However, I have no idea what kind of world is behind the Immaculate Gate. Because no one has ever returned from the Immaculate Gate."

She paused, a trace of concern in her eyes, "It's not too late for you to regret now. Although you can't leave the temple without passing the trial, you can stay with me, which will also relieve my loneliness for a long time."

Li Muchen heard the reluctance in her words, and also realized that she did not seem to want him to participate in the third level of the trial.

"You said that I can't leave the Temple without passing the trial?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think I never went out for so many years? All I can do is wait, forever and ever, with no idea when it will end. Do you know how hard it is to endure such a life?"

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with a hint of charm, her face revealed a delicate look, and she smiled, "But if there were two of us, it wouldn't be so lonely!"

Li Muchen always felt that her attitude was strange.

"You entered the Divine Palace, waiting and waiting, enduring these endless years, isn't it just to wait for a man to accompany you?"

Li Muchen stood up with a smile, his eyes showing determination and resoluteness, without the slightest hesitation.

"If I can pass, I can also take you out, right? This should be what you expect, unless you are waiting for someone else instead of me."

Gong Yuerong didn't say anything and just sighed softly.

Li Muchen took a deep breath and said slowly: "I will take you out."

After saying that, he turned around resolutely.

That was where the Gate of Trial was originally, but now there was only nothingness. In the nothingness there was a spot of light, and he knew that was where the Gate of Immaculateness was.

He took a resolute step and walked into nothingness.

Gong Yuerong looked at his departing back, with a hint of worry and regret in her eyes, but she did not stop him in the end.

An endless sea of ​​pure white light appeared in front of Li Muchen.

The light was pure and dazzling, as if it was formed by countless tiny stars. Each ray of light flashed with a lively glimmer, interweaving a dreamlike light and shadow. Everything around was shrouded in this pure light, without a trace of impurities or shadows, as if it was the chaos and purity at the beginning of the universe.

In the center of the sea of ​​light, a white jade portal stood quietly. The portal radiated a soft light, blending in with the surrounding sea of ​​light, yet standing out from the crowd. Ancient and mysterious runes were carved on the portal, and each rune seemed alive, flickering slightly, as if telling the secret of the birth of the universe. The lines of the runes were smooth and complex, interweaving into mysterious patterns that seemed to contain endless power and wisdom.

Li Muchen took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the sea of ​​light. The moment he stepped in, a powerful force rushed towards him. He felt that all distracting thoughts disappeared instantly, and his body seemed to become transparent. He could clearly feel that his soul was being purified. All emotions, obsessions, and desires were gradually stripped away in this pure light.

He closed his eyes and immersed himself in this wonderful purification process. His heart had never been so peaceful, as if his body, soul and consciousness had all melted into the light and became a part of it.

Just then, he heard a voice:

"You finally came……"

He opened his eyes and saw a dark shadow suddenly appear in front of him.

The black shadow stood quietly in the center of the sea of ​​light, exuding a strong dark aura, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding light. The outline of the black shadow was blurred, as if it was wrapped in a thick layer of ink, and only a rough human figure could be seen. Its appearance seemed to break the tranquility of the sea of ​​light, and the whole space was filled with a tense atmosphere. The originally agile and jumping light seemed to encounter an invisible obstacle when it approached the black shadow, and it twisted and dissipated, forming a circle of strange dark halo.

The shadow's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the endless dark abyss, with an ancient and vicissitudes of life texture, and like the whispers of countless wronged souls, echoing in the sea of ​​light for a long time. The voice seemed to have a strange magic, which made Li Muchen's heart beat faster involuntarily, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

"Who are you?" A trace of vigilance flashed in Li Muchen's eyes, and he remembered the shadow that ran out of the Tianhunbi.

The black shadow did not answer his question, but just stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

Its silence made Li Muchen feel a little uneasy, and his eyes were fixed on the black shadow.

"So you are the only one who passed the reincarnation trial before me!" He remembered Gong Yuerong's words.

But he was very confused. Gong Yuerong must have known that the black shadow had come in, so why didn't she tell him?
