Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

"So you've been waiting for me here..."

Li Muchen said in a deep voice, with a hint of coldness in his voice, and in this pure sea of ​​light, there was actually a subtle echo. He was secretly alert in his heart, and the shadow that came out of the Heavenly Soul Wall flashed in his mind.

He was sure that the guy in front of him was the shadow, but after coming out of the Heavenly Soul Wall, he couldn't be sure of the other party's identity, whether he was the ancestor of the Li family or the remnant soul of the Heavenly Demon.

"Of course I'm waiting for you." said the shadow.

The sound flowed in the sea of ​​light, much clearer than before.

For some reason, when Li Muchen heard this voice, he felt familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. But he searched through his reincarnation memories and could not find the source of this familiar feeling.

This inexplicable feeling made him feel a little scared.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, trying to penetrate the thick darkness and see the true face of the shadow. In his hand, there was a sword, which trembled slightly and emitted a low hum.

The sword was certainly not the Xuanming Sword, because the Xuanming Sword was left outside the temple, suppressing the dragon.

This sword is the result of the sword intent in his heart. It has condensed into a solid entity in this empty world of light, and is bright and clear.

Then, he saw that the black shadow also had a sword in his hand. The sword was pitch black, forming a sharp contrast with the sword in his hand.

It seems that the sword in the opponent's hand looks more like Xuanming.

Li Muchen was even more certain of the black shadow's identity. He was the one who had been here before, suppressed the real dragon, and left behind the Xuanming Sword and the Dance of the Heavenly Demon.

"What are you waiting for me for?" he asked.

The black shadow let out a low laugh. The sound was like the sound of an old bellows, hoarse and harsh, and it echoed in the sea of ​​light, causing ripples in the surrounding light.

"I am waiting for you to cross the cycle of reincarnation and lead us to the pure world together."

Li Muchen seemed to see through the other person's thoughts and said, "I understand. Gong Yuerong said that before me, there was a person who passed the reincarnation trial but failed the Immortal Trial. You are that person. Your soul was damaged in the Immortal Trial, and you survived with the help of the Heavenly Soul Jade."

"You are from outside the domain. The dark domain energy in you cannot pass the test of this bright and pure state. That's why you are waiting for me. You have to borrow my body to pass through this door."

He raised the sword in his hand, "But I don't like others to plot against me. If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't stop you, but I will never escort you."

The black shadow also raised the sword in his hand.

"Without me, you will not be able to pass through the Immaculate Gate. You will sink into the light and never come out."

"Then let's give it a try and see who can pass through this door and who will sink into the light!"

Li Muchen's fighting spirit exploded. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and turned into a white light, instantly appearing in front of the black shadow. With a flick of his wrist, the sword flower flashed, and a sharp sword energy whistled towards the black shadow. Wherever it went, the light of the sea of ​​light was forced back by this sword energy.

The black shadow was also burning with fighting spirit and swung the sword in his hand. The black sword energy created a crack that tore through the light in this pure sea of ​​light.

The two sword energies collided, and in an instant, darkness and light intertwined, twisted, collided, and then annihilated each other, forming a vortex of nothingness that sucked in all the surrounding light.

Li Muchen's body shape changed and the sword energy was released again.

The black shadow was not to be outdone and fought with his sword.

The two men, one white and one black, their sword energies were also one white and one black. They fought in the sea of ​​light, going back and forth, tearing the pure and bright world of light into pieces, like a broken mirror.

In each of the broken "mirrors", a shadow of a swordsman dancing appears.

Li Muchen suddenly found something wrong.

The black shadow and he were exactly the same in size, posture, and sword-wielding movements.

This immediately shook his mind.

"Who... are you?" There was a hint of shock in Li Muchen's voice. He had never thought that he would meet someone so similar to himself.

"I am you." The shadow's voice was like a curse, echoing between the sword energy, revealing a strange breath, "I am your darkness, your anger, your murderous intent, your obsession... I am the self you are unwilling to admit. Although you have experienced reincarnation, I will always be with you. Don't ever think of getting rid of me."

Li Muchen stopped, holding the sword in his hand at an angle, and the sword body trembled slightly. Since he learned sword, his hand holding the sword has never trembled.

The black shadow also stopped, holding the black sword at an angle, and the sword body was shaking slightly.

Li Muchen recalled the moments of his struggle in reincarnation, those moments dominated by anger and obsession. Could it be that this black shadow is really the dark side deep in his heart?

"No, it's impossible! You are the devil soul in the Heavenly Soul Wall, don't try to deceive me!"

Li Muchen strengthened his mind, the aura circulated around his body, and a powerful force burst out. The sword in his hand suddenly spread out and turned into a dazzling dragon of light, pouncing towards the black shadow.

The black shadow was not to be outdone. Its movements were exactly the same as Li Muchen's. The black sword in its hand turned into a black dragon and pounced towards Li Muchen.

The two dragons collided in the void, bursting out with dazzling light. The entire space seemed to be blown up, forming more fragments, and in each fragment, there was a black shadow.

"Look, you can't beat me! You can't get rid of me! The stronger your fighting spirit, the angrier you are, the more of me you will split apart!"

The dark shadows in every fragment are speaking.

Li Muchen felt a little shaken.

"You can't defeat me, because I am you!"

"Killing me is killing yourself. You can't do that. Even if you commit suicide, you will only kill the hypocritical you who thinks you are bright, and I will live forever."

"I will become stronger and stronger, and you will only become weaker and weaker."

"Either accept me or be devoured by me!"

The shadow's voice continued to ring out, carrying with it a bewitching magic.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was full of broken mirrors and shadows.

"Even if I escape from reincarnation, I can't get rid of you?" Li Muchen murmured.

He suddenly remembered the last scene in his reincarnation, when he and Zhiren met in Qiantang Lake and saw the shadow of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.

He heard Zhiren say: "All living things are me, and I am for all living things..."

In an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

He finally understood that purity does not mean rejecting darkness, but accepting darkness; true purification does not mean abandoning it, but transcending it.

Li Muchen slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His heart gradually calmed down. He felt the darkness deep in his heart, which was anger and murderous intent... those obsessions that he had not gotten rid of in the reincarnation, but accumulated more and more...

He no longer resisted, but chose to accept.

He put down the sword in his hand, and the sword turned into a calm light and dissipated into nothingness.

The black shadow also put down the sword in his hand and dispersed into the cracks of the broken mirror.

The broken void slowly healed.

Black and white, light and darkness, blend in chaos, one increases while the other decreases, eternal...
