I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Xie Yuan looked at the hand that could cover his entire body coming over his head, and a huge shadow had already covered him.

The wind was howling, the candle flames were dancing wildly, and Wu Daoji, who was connected to the mountains, had an extremely majestic aura, which made Xie Yuan subconsciously unable to resist.

He did not move, but he was unmoved.

Xie Yuan remained calm as he watched the giant palm approaching him, even the palm lines were clearly visible.

The giant hand suddenly stopped in front of him.

The hurricane in the cave calmed down a little. Wu Dao looked down at the motionless Xie Yuan coldly for a long while, and then said slowly:
"Do you have any last words to say?"

Xie Yuan raised the corners of his lips:
"Can't you see for yourself?"

Wu Daoji's face darkened slightly, and he continued slowly:
"Since your body will soon belong to me, and in accordance with your karma, I can fulfill one of your long-cherished wishes."

"I will realize my wish myself. If I can't do it, why should I rely on you?"

Xie Yuan smiled faintly:
"You are just a ghost, pretending to be so arrogant. If you have the ability, why would you just take my body away? Why are you talking nonsense here?"

There was a faint golden light burning on his body, illuminating the area within three feet around him.

Outside of this golden light, Wu Daoji's palm and the candlelight stopped firmly, unable to move forward a step.

Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Wu Daoji's face changed drastically and he stared at him intently.

Xie Yuan looked up at Wu Daoji, his eyes slowly falling as his body shrank to its normal size:
"A remnant soul that is barely alive is still boasting here. The trick of shaking the mind and taking advantage of the opportunity is probably only used by a frog in a well thousands of years ago. You really haven't seen the world for too long, senior."

Wu Daoji was so shocked and angry that he could not help but shrink to his normal size. Xie Yuan was not surprised when he saw this scene.

He had already realized that this was not the real world, but some kind of strange spiritual world, a reflection of the sea of ​​consciousness. Wu Daoji had somehow pulled him in, just to intimidate his spirit, shake his true spirit, and then take advantage of the opportunity to enter and seize Xie Yuan's body!
A direct confrontation in the sea of ​​consciousness is extremely dangerous, and the most important thing is the will and momentum. The strength of the momentum is directly reflected in the external changes.

It must be said that Wu Daoji acted like a top powerhouse from a thousand years ago. His words and deeds were all great, and his demeanor and aura were all great. It was indeed intimidating. Once his identity as a top grandmaster was revealed, many people were indeed shaken.

But Xie Yuan was no longer someone who could be fooled by bluffs alone. With just one word, he brought the seemingly invincible Wu Dao Ji back to the human world.

Wu Daoji's face was as gloomy as water. He was silent for a moment before he smiled.

He even clapped his hands:
"Not bad, not bad! You are worthy of being the body I chose, your aptitude and will are both top-notch. After I take over your body, I will definitely enjoy everything about you. Well, that one outside is your Taoist partner, right? She is a natural beauty, pure and extraordinary, a real fairy flower! I will definitely pick her."

Wu Daoji showed a meaningful smile, which made Xie Yuan subconsciously clench his fists.

However, sensing the wind rising in the cave again, Xie Yuan immediately collected his thoughts and said coldly:

"The withered bones in the tomb are barking wildly. When I break through this illusion of yours and leave, I will grind your rotten bones into ashes and feed them to wild dogs - you only deserve to stay in the dogs' stomachs."

Wu Daoji's smile faded when he heard this. He was a man of top cultivation and talent. Since he started his cultivation, he had never heard anyone dare to speak like this in front of him. Now, he was showing some emotion.

More importantly, Xie Yuan was completely unmoved and saw through his plan, leaving him, a mere remnant soul, somewhat helpless.

Gradually, Wu Daoji felt impatient and uneasy. He said calmly:
"You are so stubborn, kid! But this is where my thousand-year-old true spirit resides. You can come but you can't leave. Do you think you can still get out? Well, since you won't give in, you will stay here with me for another thousand years. I will wait for you, but I don't know if you can endure the loneliness."

After he said that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and went to continue sitting at the desk.

When Xie Yuan saw this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He held the hilt of the sword and suddenly drew it.

A stunning light suddenly appeared, crossed half of the cave, and pointed to the side of Wu Daoji.

Faced with such a fast sword, Wu Dao Ji turned around instantly and subconsciously raised his hand to block it. His movements clearly showed extremely mysterious finger techniques, clamping towards the tip of Xie Yuan's sword.

However, Xie Yuan's sword carried a fierce momentum, and the seventh level of the Great Golden River Skill surged, directly cutting off Wu Daoji's two fingers, and then pointed directly at the candlestick in his hand!

call out!
The flame on the candlestick flickered, and Wu Daoji disappeared out of thin air, and then emerged on the other side of the cave like a phantom.

He had an expressionless face as he raised his left hand and looked at the two broken fingers that were bleeding.

Then he shook his hand, and two fingers actually grew out, as if everything was just an illusion.

Wu Daoji stared at Xie Yuan again and said coldly:

"Did you see it?"

“No matter how powerful a Grandmaster is, how can he survive for a thousand years without a treasure? For all these years, you have been lingering in this candlestick.”

Xie Yuan had already seen through it a long time ago. Everything was an illusion. Only the candlestick was his true self, his shelter.

And that was what he had come in looking for.

This world is a reflection of reality created by the candlestick, but Xie Yuan is not unfamiliar with it. He and Mu Chaoyun have experienced similar scenes in the Fantasy Dream Crystal.

Here, as long as you recognize the essence, you will have as much skill as you want in reality.

Xie Yuan is still a master at the level of the Twin Bridges of Heaven and Earth, but Wu Daoji has nothing left except his remaining true spirit.

After confirming this, Xie Yuan looked at Wu Daoji, who had a cold expression, and smiled slightly:
"Senior Wu, you want me to stay here with you? Please don't let me go."

He shook his sword, and with a swish, he thrust it out suddenly.

As soon as the sword was handed out, Xie Yuan suddenly appeared in front of Wu Daoji with the sword.

Wu Daoji's face was solemn. The candle in his hand flickered, and he disappeared in an instant, and then appeared next to the cave.

Xie Yuan had anticipated this scene. He tapped his footsteps lightly on the cave wall, tilted his head back, and drew his sword. In the same flash, he appeared in front of Wu Daoji.

He swung his sword and the sword light went towards the candlestick.

Just as Wu Daoji's candlestick was about to flash again, the sword light was already in front of him.

This sword was even faster than the flickering candle flame!

He was filled with shock and anger. He dodged with one hand holding the candlestick and tried to block the sword with the other.

The long sword did not hesitate at all and directly cut off half of Wu Dao Ji's arm.

The severed arm fell to the ground, exploded into an orange flame with a pop, and disappeared in a flash.

This short period of time finally allowed Wu Dao Ji to dodge. As the candle flame flickered, he flickered again to the other side of the cave.

Xie Yuan laughed loudly:
"Senior Wu, your nest is a little small!"

His figure flashed continuously, and he and Wu Dao Ji moved around in this narrow space, chasing the lonely soul of the thousand-year-old master who kept flashing everywhere.

Although Wu Daoji's tricks were discovered, he was invincible because he could be everywhere within the range of the candlelight thanks to the candlestick. He could slowly delay the battle with Xie Yuan.

However, Xie Yuan's sword technique of fleeting light was also everywhere in the cave within a few feet, east, south, west and north!

Even the candle flame on the candlestick was flickering for a moment, but Xie Yuan did not even have this moment of pause when wielding the sword. He chased Wu Daoji into an extremely awkward situation, and he was hit by the sword every two times he changed his position!
Parts of Wu Dao Ji's body fell to the ground. Although they were not solid and could grow back in the blink of an eye, after so many times, Xie Yuan clearly noticed that his figure had dimmed and was slightly transparent.

Even the most powerful Grandmaster is just a remnant soul, like a rootless duckweed, which cannot withstand the constant consumption.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan sped up his sword skills again. The sky full of sword shadows was swishing in the cave, constantly cutting at Wu Daoji's body.

This kid is so difficult to deal with!

Wu Daoji was extremely shocked and angry, and was caught in a dilemma.

Xie Yuan saw through the truth of this place. If he was let out, the candlestick would be moved and his body would be destroyed. He would no longer have any support here and would soon disappear into thin air.
However, if he was not released, the time spent thousands of miles had already weakened his true spirit, and he would not be able to hold on for long.

It was obvious that he shouldn't have any enemies in this candlestick, but this guy's swordsmanship was unknown and his origins were unknown, but he was almost as powerful as the Tao!
Even the great world of the past did not have such a sword technique... This sword technique is absolutely comparable to those most powerful sword techniques, standing at the end of the entire sword path. It seems that there have been many talented people in the past thousand years, and the martial arts have never stagnated.

Even Wu Daoji was surprised and suspicious when he saw Xie Yuan's skillful appearance and had never seen such sword skills before. He even wondered if this sword was created by him.
Could such an extremely powerful swordsmanship come from such a young person?

Wu Daoji had a moment of doubt, but when he saw Xie Yuan's talent, he felt that it was possible.

With Xie Yuan's talent, even if he were in that era, he would have been famous all over the world...

Wu Dao Ji gritted his teeth and suddenly made up his mind that he couldn't go on like this.

He had been in power for a hundred years, and even though he retreated in the end, he was not a hesitant person who could not see the situation clearly.

In just a moment, Wu Daoji's figure became brighter and taller again.

Xie Yuan suddenly couldn't see where the candlelight was. He only felt that there was Wu Daoji's huge body in front of him, and his shadow completely enveloped him.

"Xie Yuan, do you really think that I can't deal with you? Although there will be losses if I forcibly take your soul, I can recover these losses by practicing with your body for ten years! You are very good, but goodbye forever."

The giant-like old man looked down at Xie Yuan at his feet, and then pounced down!

Xie Yuan stared at Wu Daoji closely, and the moment he pounced, he felt the flickering candlelight under him and directly thrust out a sword!
There was a hissing sound, as if something small, like a wick, was cut off.

Wu Daoji's body suddenly darkened, his aura weakened, and his entire lower body turned into a wisp of light smoke, like a real ghost.

But he had no expression on his face, and still pounced towards Xie Yuan with a resolute spirit!

The true spirit of the thousand-year-old master is exerted at full strength, which is naturally overwhelming.

Xie Yuan's face was serious, and he was about to compete with him, when suddenly a light appeared around him.

Seven flickering flames appeared, like seven bright lamps, appearing around Xie Yuan, emitting bright and warm light, calming Xie Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Wu Daoji threw himself down, and when he was touched by the light of the lamp, green smoke suddenly appeared on his body!
He let out a scream and instantly shrank back out of the light of the lamp.

That woman!

She can influence this place! She actually has such means!
Wu Daoji was in a great state of disarray, but he turned around and stared at the fallen and extinguished candlestick. His eyes were cold and his face was determined. He curled up into a ball again and pounced on Xie Yuan!

"Xie Yuan! I have been in the world for a hundred years and have seen countless heroes. But there is still not a single one that can bring me down!"

Wu Daoji suddenly passed through the light barrier, and the light around him was reduced by almost 90%.

But he still got through.

With a whoosh, Wu Dao Ji turned into a point of light and penetrated Xie Yuan's brows.

"Hahaha. Xie Yuan, no matter how powerful your methods are, this body has finally fallen into my hands. I will gladly accept it!"

An old voice sounded in Xie Yuan's mind. It was Wu Daoji.

But Xie Yuan was unmoved. He just took two slow steps to pick up the candlestick.

"Huh? How can you still move? What happened?"

Wu Daoji's doubtful voice sounded:

"Xie Yuan! What did you do? Tell me!
"Speak up!"

Xie Yuan looked at the candlestick for a while before nodding and sighing:

"Sure enough, it's the Black Book..."

He said to himself:
"Your true spirit has been able to survive for a thousand years thanks to the Black Book. You must have already become one with it. As it happens, I know a little about the Black Book."

In Xie Yuan’s sea of ​​consciousness.

Wu Daoji, floating on the sea with a dim figure, heard the voices coming from all directions and was inexplicably surprised:
"You know the Black Book? A little bit?"

Suddenly, waves began to rise in the sea of ​​consciousness and strong winds blew.

Like a huge wave or tsunami rising suddenly from the mountains, the enormous pressure made Wu Daoji feel uneasy and he even trembled uncontrollably.

He looked at the slowly emerging distorted black shadow, his eyes fixed, and he said in a lost voice:
"Wan Bing Zhu Ying? His Wan Bing Zhu Ying is in your hands?"

"more than."

When a loud voice came, Wu Daoji was startled and felt a tingling sensation on his back.

He slowly turned his head and saw a huge sea-suppressing cauldron that blocked out the sky and the sun rising from the sea, like a real mountain, reaching above his head.

"And... you actually have the Black Book? You actually have two pages of the Black Book?"

Wu Daoji was extremely shocked and his face turned pale.

more than.

In fact, there was more, but Xie Yuan did not say anything more.

"town--"

Xie Yuan's cold voice resounded throughout his sea of ​​consciousness, and the Mountain and River Cauldron slowly pressed down.

"No!"

boom--

A huge sound rang out, and under the suppression of the Mountain and River Cauldron, this remnant soul, which was weakened to the extreme but relied on the Black Sky Book to survive, was completely annihilated.

Xie Yuan shook his head and felt dizzy.

But he recovered quickly and inexplicably felt his mind became much clearer.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he was surprised to find that his sea of ​​consciousness had grown a lot, and the strength of his spiritual sense had almost doubled compared to before!
Any unexpected gains?

Wu Daoji's spiritual consciousness penetrated into Xie Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness without reservation, and was then completely suppressed.

Xie Yuan was equivalent to directly refining the true spirit of a grandmaster. Although it had been a lonely soul for a thousand years and was extremely weak, its essence was still there. He instantly increased the strength of his spiritual consciousness by several levels.

Generally speaking, even if you truly defeat a Grand Master, it is impossible to directly strengthen your spiritual awareness.

But he insisted on drilling into his head, which was like meat flying into his mouth...

Xie Yuan felt the strength of his spiritual consciousness increase greatly. The operation of his skills, the circulation of his blood, and his internal energy became much more delicate and faster, giving him the feeling that everything was under his control.

Although his skills did not increase directly, his control over them was incomparable to before, and his strength instantly rose to more than one level.

Coupled with the various enhancements of spiritual awareness to practice and perception, the gains are all-round.

It is not easy to enhance spiritual awareness. Apart from slowly practicing to improve the realm, only a very small number of secret methods and rare treasures from heaven and earth can increase it.

I didn't expect it to be enhanced so much in an instant.

Xie Yuan had not expected to have such a great harvest, and for a moment he thought that Wu Daoji was a very nice person.

He shook his head and turned his gaze to the candlestick in front of him. (End of this chapter)
