ninety thousand miles

Chapter 554: Illusion
Li Chuan originally thought that the wine just smelled a bit fragrant, but after hearing the description from Immortal Yun Yi, he felt that the wine in front of him must be the finest wine he had never tasted in his life.

Thinking this, he picked up the cup and took a sip.

It's a good wine, but it doesn't seem that mysterious.

"how?"

When Li Chuan heard Immortal Yun Yi ask him, he said, "Yes."

"Of course." Yun Yi took a sip, and then he began to answer Li Chuan's questions.

"Go up the Shenxia Temple and reach the end..."

"When is the end?" Li Chuan interrupted Yun Yixianren.

Liu Yang looked at Li Chuan and blinked at him desperately.

Li Chuan didn't see it.

Yun Yi didn't seem to notice, nor was he annoyed by Li Chuan's interruption. Instead, he said, "It seems that you have already thought of this. When do you think it will be?"

"More than a thousand years ago," Li Chuan said, recalling, "I met a peach blossom demon named Tao Gong on Xuanshui Mountain. He was enlightened by Tian Su a thousand years ago, but only a hundred or two hundred years later, the entire cave fell into decline."

"Do you think that the one who enlightened him was Tian Su who walked out of the Temple of Heroes?" Yun Yi asked.

"Yes, just like... just like the bamboo spirit outside the Shenxia Temple. I think Tao Gong is also the gatekeeper he left behind." Li Chuan said.

“There are not two Tiansu.” Yun Yi repeated again, “When the Shenxia Temple stopped and emerged from the long river of time, the Tiansu here and the Tiansu in the Shenxia Temple became one person.”

"At that moment, Tiansu in this world already knew why the Temple of Heroes appeared. He also knew all of Tiansu's experiences in the Temple of Heroes. Those were his own experiences. And Tiansu in the Temple of Heroes also knew that Tiansu in this world would make the same decision as him."

"right here."

After saying this, Yun Yi paused for a long time.

Li Chuan looked at the rubble under his feet. These were the bodies of the ancient immortal Tian Su. Then...then the last time he came here, those huge strange rocks, were they really fingers as he thought at the time?
He recalled the experience he had with Zhu Qingyun, Gong Er Pang San, and Lao Xiaokai here. They were really ignorant and fearless at the time...

"It's right here." Immortal Yun Yi finally spoke again, "He demonstrated the true nature of the Heart Abyss Insects to the world."

"What is it?" Li Chuan couldn't help but ask.

Yun Yi filled an empty cup with wine and spilled it on the ground. He said, "It was not born here. It is immortal, and even the Heart Abyss cannot completely dissolve it. But even if it escapes from the Heart Abyss and comes to the Xingjie by chance, it will return to the Heart Abyss here because it is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. Until 30,000 years ago, when the gods and demons calamity occurred. At that time, Tian Su led all the immortals to align their own paths with the Heavenly Dao, thus avoiding a greater catastrophe. But the catastrophe did not dissipate, and the Heavenly Dao collapsed, so it also gained the possibility of entering the world."

"Even if Tian Su wants to tell the world this, he doesn't have to die, right?" Li Chuan said.

"Because he was infected with illusion. He stared into the abyss of his heart for a long time, looking at these strange insects, trying to find where they came from, so he became a strange walker." Yun Yi said.

"Ah? Even ancient immortals can be parasitic?" Li Chuan was surprised, and then he was a little confused. He said, "Is it the Tiansu here who is parasitized, or the Tiansu in the Shenxia Temple?" "There is no difference, there are no two Tiansu." Yun Yi said.

"Wait..." Li Chuan thought of the light bands at the bottom of the Shenxia Temple Lake. There were alien worms in those light bands. He said, "Tiansu was parasitized by alien worms. So, who decided to go upstream, Tiansu or the aliens?"

"He is here, using his body to demonstrate to the world the true nature of the Heart Abyss Zerg and the method to completely kill the Zerg. He did this. Do you think he is Tiansu or a White Walker?" Yun Yi asked back.

"I don't know." Li Chuan said.

He thought of Guan Zhongqiu.

"I don't know. I don't know what he wants to do, and..." Li Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I came here three years ago. The corpses in front are those of the Black Horn King and the Stone Dragon King. I planned to kill them with sword energy. But... I didn't understand anything. Taoist Master Wen also came here a few months ago, and he couldn't understand what you and I said. If he really wants to tell the world this... I mean, he doesn't know who will come here, and even... even if the Black Horn King is not dead, he will always know about this secret realm. In the next few hundred or thousand years, this place may be his private property, and I don't think he can understand what you said."

"For Gu Xian, he only needs to choose to do this one thing, that's enough." Yun Yi said, "I have split the death realm and have been chasing the alien insects, trying to find a way to kill it. I will definitely stand here one day and comprehend the message he left behind."

This is too idealistic.

Li Chuan complained in his heart. However, for a cultivator or immortal, only by believing in one's own heart can one go further on one's own path.

"Just like you, you are the successor of the "Wen Jing", and you are destined to come here." said Immortal Yun Yi.

"There were seventeen before." Li Chuan retorted.

Yun Yi shook his head and said, "I also know a few of them. They have not comprehended the "Wen Jing" and are not considered the descendants of the "Wen Jing."

Is it because he was the only one who tore up the "Wen Jing"?
Li Chuan shook his head and stopped thinking about this question. He asked, "Then how can we kill the alien insects?"

"How did you kill the Black Horn King and the Stone Dragon King?" Yun Yi asked back.

Li Chuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I am here, in the rocks. They are not rubble, but some large ones. I found a kind of insect in it, very small, invisible to the naked eye. You have to enter a mysterious state to see it."

"It's translucent and soft." Li Chuan described the shape of the jelly worm. He said, "The sword energy above is aimed at the worm. I took advantage of this and let the sword energy fall on the Black Horn King and the Stone Dragon King while they were fighting."

"At that time, I didn't know about White Walkers. Later, in Xialin Village, I learned about White Walkers and saw some of their morphological structures. Then I realized that the bugs here might also be White Walkers."

After he finished speaking, he had doubts again, and he asked: "Gazing into the Heart Abyss will infect you with illusions, but if illusions and alien parasites are the same thing, then those immortals..."

"When the heaven does not tolerate alien insects, being parasitized by alien insects will also be tolerated by the heaven. So after the immortal is infected with the illusion, he will die completely." Yun Yi explained, then he turned his head, looked into Li Chuan's eyes and asked: "Do you think that little insect is still here now?"

"He's gone now, right?" Li Chuan said.

"Are you sure?" Yun Yi asked.

Li Chuan suddenly became uncertain.
