The system runs away at the beginning, I regard the way of heaven as my father

In the ancient star stone house.

Li Chuyi stopped thinking.

With a wave of his hand, the stone house sank into the ground, and the surrounding mountains that served as a shield retreated to the sides at the same time.

The bright starry sky suddenly came into view.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Chuyi concentrated on the character in his heart and asked with a frown.

"Master Xiao Tiandao, you are not really refining the blank soul, are you? Have you finished it?"

Passerby A's tone was as sarcastic as usual, but he also seemed to be interested in this matter.

"It's fine, so what's up?"

"It's nothing. I just want to ask you whether you want to go back to the Xingdao Sect. I'm just giving you a reminder. You can make your own decision."

Passerby A's voice suddenly stopped, but Li Chuyi fell silent.

Only the stars in the sky appear and disappear from time to time, brilliant yet lonely.

……

Xingdao Sect.

As always, the flowers are blooming halfway up the mountain, and the tassels are as white as snow, swaying in the wind.

A barefoot young man with black hair tied up high, wearing a black Taoist robe decorated with the sun, moon and mountains, quietly landed at the bottom of the peak.

Next to him, there was a young man with four ears and ordinary face.

“The stench of corpse!”

"Haha, it looks like the weather has changed."

Li Chuyi uttered a few words slowly, then looked up at the sky, with little emotion revealed on his face.

"Yes, something big is going to happen." Passerby A shook his head and looked deeply at the person next to him.

"The book of destiny above your head is still blank at the back," he said suddenly.

"Ah."

Li Chuyi responded softly, and then began to walk along a quiet path towards the top of the mountain.

"Xiao Tiandao, did you practice here before?" Passerby A crossed his fingers, held them behind his head, and followed behind.

"Well, I haven't been here very long. It's only been a few years."

"Most of the time, I'm on the move. It seems like I never stay in one place for too long."

"But this is also the first stop of my formal training!"

Li Chuyi said casually. He could see the specific situation on the top of the mountain with just a thought, so he did not seem to be in a hurry.

Xingdao Mountain is not high.

The two chatted casually, and soon they arrived at the west peak.

There are palaces and pavilions here, which are obviously the work of the three senior brothers who like carpentry.

"Senior...Senior, do you have any connection with my Xingdao Sect?"

The old man Jian was still half-crippled, holding a broken sword. At this moment, he suddenly saw Li Chuyi and saw the Taoist robe he was wearing, so he bowed to salute him.

However, he was held back by a gentle force and could not move any further.

Li Chuyi looked at the old man in front of him. Many years ago, he was the one who followed him to the Xingdao Sect.

Those scenes are still vivid in my mind.

Although the other party has reached the level of a spirit being transformed, he is now haggard and looks like he is about to die.

"Senior, we met in Polaris City."

The hunchback girl walked up. She remembered the man in front of her. He had set up a stall in Polaris City many years ago. She had met him once at that time and was deeply impressed.

"Senior, could you please lend me a helping hand? I will repay you with my life."

Suddenly, Old Man Tie cried out in grief and anger, and was about to kneel down, but was still held back by a strong force.

"It doesn't have to be like that."

Li Chuyi looked at the three people in front of him and just took a deep breath.

In the entire Xingdao Mountain, it seems that they are the only three people who can be called human beings.

Ten meters in front of Li Chuyi were square cages, one meter long, one meter wide, and two meters high.

It is made of some kind of dark blue spiritual iron and is engraved with various runes to serve the purpose of stabilization and suppression.

Imprisoned in the cages are the mute girl, the blind girl, Ling'er, the three hands, the ugly man, the fool, and eleven catfish monsters.

They stood in the cage, without any breath, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

The flesh was blue-black in color, with pus and blood oozing from the facial features, accompanied by a foul odor, which was a sign of decay.

"Xiao Tiandao, there's no need to look at it." Passerby A sighed.

"Their bodies are just rotting away, and this process cannot be stopped. We have tried every possible means."

"The myriad worlds and heavens are not just those mundane creatures."

"Nowadays, members of powerful tribes are all going crazy for no apparent reason, and their bodies are starting to rot."

Passerby A smiled inexplicably, as if he was mocking himself.

Then he continued: "The key is that we can't find the reason at all."

"All of this just happened out of thin air. Immortals from ancient times to modern times looked back in time, and even Fruit Cultivators searched for cause and effect, but none of them could find any clues."

After Passerby A said this, he looked at Li Chuyi again.

"Well, you're on your own."

“Now, there are many creatures among the myriad races who have attributed the source of this rootless phenomenon to you.”

"It is said that you cut down the Tree of Balance, which led to this series of disasters."

Not far away, Old Man Jian and others felt as if a loud bell rang in their heads, shocking them into a daze.

This young man actually deserves the title of Heavenly Dao. What is his identity?

Li Chuyi remained silent, because he also felt that maybe all this was because of him.

Ahead, there are three empty cages.

Old Man Jian, the hunchback girl and the others slowly walked over and locked themselves in it, with deathly silence in their eyes.

Seeing Li Chuyi staring at her, the hunchback girl leaned over and bowed. She also looked extremely haggard, as if all her energy had been drained away.

"Senior, it's like this."

"After being possessed by the 'weirdness', one will go crazy, killing and eating the people around him. I'm not sure if I..."

But at this moment, the hunchback girl's voice suddenly stopped.

When he raised his head the next moment, he had lost his breath. Only his eyes were bloodshot and had no spiritual light. At the same time, there was a foul corpse odor on his body.

It was apparently fine a moment ago, but now the body has already begun to rot.

"See, that's it." Passerby shrugged helplessly.

"Everyone in the universe, except for immortal creatures, can fall into this state instantly."

"Since I can't find the reason, I'll just use 'weird' as a synonym."

At this moment, the two old men from the Xingdao Sect who were also in the cage could only watch with their lips trembling and whispering, and they were unable to speak.

They have seen this scene many times over the years.

"Let's go."

Li Chuyi uttered two words and then disappeared.

He had just tried it, but couldn't find the reason. Even the authority of Heaven couldn't stop his body from decaying.

The fifth place, the cabin.

After a lapse of sixty years, Li Chuyi finally came back.

With a thought, everything returned to the way it was sixty years ago when he left.

There is a locust tree forest behind the house and a river flows quietly in front of it.

But here, there is still a stench of corpse.

This means that in a small town a few miles away, some people also suddenly lost their breath and their bodies began to rot, and there were quite a few of them.

There was a "boom".

A broken golden millstone fell in the center of the courtyard.

"Li Chuyi, what are you doing?" Passerby A was stunned.

"Help me to grind the mill."

"Let me try again. Is it true that apart from the innate primordial spirit, there is really no way to carry a true spirit?"
