Chapter 305 The Final Trial

"Huh?" Li Chuan originally thought that what he encountered was shocking enough, but he didn't expect what Wen Guying said to be even more shocking.

Wen Guying said: "I didn't notice it at first, I just felt that the time and space here are different, but for the cave sky illusion, the difference in time and space is nothing. Until just now, I was using the nightmare technique in Luo Xueli , and through dreams, I realized what was wrong here."

Then, Wen Guying said something from the perspective of Taoism, and Luo Xueli also talked about some of his findings. Li Chuan listened for a while, but stopped listening if he didn't understand.

After they finished their discussion, Li Chuan suddenly realized why Lao Xiaokai returned to the past after passing the trial.

He asked aloud: "So the reason why the disciples of Shenxia returned to the past was not because Shenxia had any deep meaning, but because they were simply going retrograde?"

"It should be so." Wen Guying said.

"But..." Li Chuan felt that his brain was not used enough. He said, "But reality has indeed changed... Has it changed?" He became a little unsure and said, "Or did Lao Xiaokai's memory appear? What's the mistake?"

"It has changed, but Tiansu's power is also limited. He can only limit the behavior of the Shenxia disciples after they return to the past, and try to minimize the impact of their actions." Wen Guying had obviously figured it out. He said: "And according to what Lao Xiaokai said, most people only went back a few days ago. Only he, with the belief of revenge, tried his best to prolong the time."

"That's it." Li Chuan drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp. The mellow liquid suddenly burned after entering the abdomen, and the flames spread throughout the body, burning away the coldness in every corner.

After coming back to his senses, Li Chuan only felt warm all over his body. He had other questions in his mind. He said, "What about Shenxia Island? It's just the island we saw. The Shenxia disciples will be in it." Stay, Yi Jushi often goes to the island, won’t they go back to the past after they go out?”

"No, it should be normal there." Wen Guying said: "Look at those stone statues again. They keep repeating those actions, maybe they serve as a fixed point."

He looked slightly startled and said, "Now that I think about it, what we thought was perfunctory before is actually subtle in every aspect."

He also drank all the wine in the cup, and then asked: "Junior Brother Guan, how is he?"

Li Chuan did not answer Wen Guying's question, but simply told what he saw and heard.

Wen Guying nodded and said, "I understand."

"Are you going to see him?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying shook his head and said: "The reason why you can come back safely is because you have no cultivation. I'm going. Faced with the temptation of becoming an immortal immediately, I'm not sure what will happen. Who knows when I come out, I will be Wen Guying The ghost responded."

When Luo Xueli heard what Wen Guying said, he also agreed: "It is true." Then he said: "We have almost rested here. The crack ahead is passable. Let's go there now while there are no other changes here. .”

Everyone agreed.

Wen Guying put away the drinking utensils, Li Chuan adjusted his cloak, and Gong Er and Pang San also hung it on Luo Xueli's shoulders again.

The ground washed away by the lake was a little muddy and slightly chilly, but it was still much easier to walk than before. Soon, they came to the shimmering strip of decay and saw the road in the crack.

Wen Guying looked inside and said, "You can enter." After that, he climbed directly onto the flash belt and leaned in. The others followed him into the crack.

Li Chuan supported the jade walls on both sides with both hands and moved downward until his feet touched the ground. After standing firm, his eyes had adapted to the surrounding light, and he discovered that the light here was coming from the jade wall.

After Wen Guying saw them all coming down, he continued walking forward. After walking forward for about ten steps, he came to a fork in the road. After thinking for a moment, he made some calculations and chose the path on the left. Not long after walking, he came to a fork in the road again, and he chose the left again.

Li Chuan found that as they went deeper, the road became narrower and narrower. After reaching a fork in the road, he had to shrink his body to walk through the two paths ahead.

They are like insects crawling along the veins of leaves.

"Almost there." Luo Xueli said. Li Chuan nodded and continued walking forward. The back of Wen Guying not far away is still as relaxed and unrestrained as before.

There were no more forks in the road ahead, nor did the road become narrower, until we reached the end of the road.

The space at the end is wider, allowing three people to stand side by side. A shrine of a hero is parked not far ahead. The hero sat in it with a solemn expression.

Li Chuan stared at the statue of Shenxia and said, "Another road?"

"It should be." Wen Guying confirmed Li Chuan's guess.

"How about borrowing some light?" Li Chuan said, looking at Wen Guying's sword.

"Wait a minute, I thought of what Lao Xiaokai said," Wen Guying said: "At that time, he said that after teleporting to the lakeside pavilion, there was also a shrine in the pavilion, and then the trial started."

"You mean, this shrine is the same as the shrine in the pavilion near the lake?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's possible," Wen Guying pondered for a moment and said, "This may be the real trial left behind by the hero."

"Are there still more trials?" Li Chuan was a little confused.

Wen Guying said his guess and said: "Looking at it now, the layout of the Shenxia Sect may be very simple. When mortals come, they will inherit some medicine and refining tools. After they go out, the extraordinary power of the Shenxia Sect will be revealed to the outside world. As far as we know, we will invite monks to investigate. Then when the monks come, they will accept the path and ascend to immortality within a hundred years, and then attract more monks."

After Wen Guying finished speaking, Luo Xueli added: "If the Shenxia Sect hadn't monopolized the Shenxia Island for more than three hundred years, maybe there would have been strange ghosts in this world who had become immortals long ago."

"The Shenxia won't care whether it's three hundred years, three thousand years, or thirty thousand years." Wen Guying said, "After all, the establishment of the Shenxia temple is the end, and its starting point is an unknown number of years later. As long as the Temple of Gods and Heroes stands there, there will always be mortals and monks coming to investigate. Aren't we the same?"

"Same." Luo Xueli said.

"So," Wen Guying looked at the shrine again and said, "Who are the trials here prepared for?"

"Is he an immortal?" Gong Er asked.

"Maybe." Wen Guying said, "Even immortals would be interested in the secrets of the ancient immortal Tiansu. And there is another possibility. It is prepared for the successors of the "Wen Jing"."

The red gem shone brightly, and Wen Guying said, "Brother Li, please lead the way."

Li Chuan did not hesitate.

Once we got here, we couldn't stop anymore.

He looked at the shrine attentively, and sure enough he saw a halo of light behind the shrine with crimson runes flowing. He looked intently, and soon, golden dots and horizontal lines spread out in the endless void.

He saw the path and crossed it.

This time he arrived directly into a bright stone hall. In the middle of the stone hall was a pillar of light. Countless mysterious runes flowed in the pillar of light, and a radiant butterfly was imprisoned.

Li Chuan recognized it as a butterfly spirit, a butterfly spirit that had completely broken out of its cocoon.
