Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 273 Isn’t it enough that I can reach the sky?

"you?"

After hearing this, even Zhuge Kongming and Sima Hui, who were known for their composure, could no longer remain calm and strange expressions appeared on their faces.

"Fellow Daoist, it's good to be confident, but blind confidence is not desirable. We know that you are gifted and we don't doubt that you have such potential, but the time is too short. How can you reach the sky?"

When it comes to such an important matter, the two of them naturally did not hold back and spoke immediately.

Of course, they were not completely denying it, but were asking. If this kid really had any solution, that would be the best.

"About this point..."

In response to the two people's questions, Xia Ye smiled slightly and then spoke.

"You two elders should also know that once you reach the 'peak', what determines your height is no longer your true Qi cultivation or your life. It's because everything about me has been integrated with the heaven and earth. No matter how strong your true Qi is or how high your life is, can it be higher than the heaven and earth?"

"What really determines a person's 'top' height is his understanding of the natural world and his pursuit of 'the way of the self'. When the way of the self is truly in harmony with the way of the heaven and earth, he can become the heaven and earth and reach the true 'top of this world'!"

This is the truth that Xia Ye has realized since he reached the "top".

"good."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Kongming and Sima Hui nodded at the same time. This was indeed the "ultimate way" and a necessary prerequisite for wanting to "reach the sky".

Xia Ye continued:

"From my perspective, having reached this point, the 'road to the top' may have come to an end. This is why there is the saying 'reaching the sky'. If you want to go one step further after becoming the heaven and earth, you must break through the constraints of the heaven and earth and make your own 'heaven and earth' independent of the original heaven and earth!"

"Oh?"

The two of them narrowed their eyes at the same time, smiling but not making any comment.

"How did you come to this conclusion, fellow Daoist?"

In their opinion, Xia Ye is still far from "reaching the sky". It is normal for him to be at the "top" and look forward to comprehending the "top end", but it is unlikely for him to go further and comprehend "reaching the sky".

Of course, they still did not deny it. After all, the world is full of wonders, and talented people do not follow common sense.

As for the answer to this "Tongtian", they also got guidance from Suiren, so naturally they knew whether Xia Ye's idea was correct or not.

At this time, Xia Ye paused, and then responded:

"Originally, my speculation about 'Tongtian' was only vague. After all, there are many possibilities, not just the one I just mentioned."

"But after hearing what Senior Zhuge said about Suiren's deeds, I am completely certain that there is no other way to achieve the level of Suiren, except that one is independent of the heavens and equal to the heavens and the earth."

"I see……"

"You're judging from here."

After hearing this, the two of them understood. To be honest, what Xia Ye said was indeed correct. That was the fact.

"I can tell you that your speculation is correct. This is what Suiren told me... the path to 'reach the heavens'."

"But you are just speculating, not understanding. Even if you are right, it cannot improve your own realm. You are still far away from reaching the 'Heaven'. How can you take this step before all the 'Tops' perish?"

"Again, there's no time..."

"Junior understands."

When Zhuge Kongming finished speaking, Xia Ye also smiled.

"But we have to try, right?"

"..."

"Ugh."

Seeing his stubbornness, the two of them couldn't help but raise their heads, and Zhuge Kongming started talking.

"That's why we concealed it. It was inevitable."

He had already anticipated that as long as there was a "top" in this future world, they would not follow their wishes after knowing everything, because if they were in their shoes, they would make the same choice. This was inevitable.

And it was obvious that neither of them had any hope for Xia Ye Tongtian, nor could they afford to waste time.

"Ha ha……"

Xia Ye understood what the two were thinking and couldn't help but smile.

"I know what you two seniors are thinking, and I understand your concerns. It is indeed unreasonable to put this treasure on a junior like me."

"But no matter what, the juniors who should understand should still understand. For example, Senior Zhuge said that the other seniors don't have much time left. Can you estimate a rough time range?"

"This……"

Zhuge Kongming narrowed his eyes and then pondered for a moment.

"Since you all joined at different times, your situations are also different. I have looked at them one by one before. If I estimate... the worst case scenario should be able to hold out for another ten years."

“This is the limit!”

This number is the result of his careful calculation and is also the most "safe" data.

That is why, when he senses the opportunity, he will immediately pull everyone into this world. Everything is within his calculations.

"Ten years..."

Xia Ye did not doubt Zhuge Kongming's words, but just nodded slightly.

"ten years……"

"Well, two seniors, I have a suggestion..."

"In my opinion, within ten years, we can make two preparations. One is to continue your bet and select the final person first..."

At this point, he already knew that as long as the jade was there, these predecessors would not die even if they "fought to death", but would fall asleep in the jade, so there was no problem in selecting them in advance.

"On the other hand, I hope that you seniors will give me some time. I don't need ten years, that's too rushed. Give me five years. If I can't reach the sky, your plans will continue!"

"Five years?"

"You mean, are you sure you can reach the realm of Tongtian within five years?"

The two were stunned, obviously finding it a little unbelievable.

"You can give it a try. I have the confidence to do so!"

"Um……"

"It's not impossible, but you have to tell us where your confidence comes from, otherwise we will never agree to it."

Zhuge Kongming expressed his position.

"Although five years is relatively safe, it involves the loss of power of all Taoist friends. The weaker they are, the more likely they are to change. We can't use them to gamble on something so illusory."

"Of course!"

Xia Ye expected the two to ask this question, so he immediately nodded and responded.

"You two elders, you may not know that I am actually a congenital superhuman, and my congenital supernatural power is somewhat special. It is called - 'Mingli'!"

Wow!
The next moment, Xia Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and his "understanding" was activated. With his deliberate display, Zhuge Kongming and Sima Hui also felt the mystery.

"This is..." They were surprised to find that this special ability could analyze all things in the world and penetrate into their roots.

"Just as the two elders have felt, my special ability is to be able to 'understand the principles of the world'. My views have been different from yours from the beginning, which is why I was able to enter the 'top realm' at the age of 25."

Xia Ye explained immediately.

"Now that I know how to reach the 'real summit', I also know what the real 'way to the heavens' is. As long as I know the 'target', I can follow the path with this ability!"

"This……"

"I never thought that there would be such a supernatural power in this world that could directly reach the origin of heaven and earth. It's really amazing!"

After hearing this, Zhuge Kongming and Sima Hui couldn't help but look at each other, both showing surprise.

They all knew that if this was true, this approach might be feasible!
but……

"Even so, it's only five years. Are you really sure?"

The two were still a little worried and asked again.

Xia Ye still smiled slightly and asked back:
"Then, my two elders, you already know the current situation of the world. May I ask, if you were people in this world, before seeing this great world appear, would you believe that I could lead the world to where it is now?"

"Um……"

After these words were spoken, the two men pondered again. They all had to admit that what Xia Ye said did make sense.

And they also knew that if they could really succeed, then none of them would have to sacrifice, and in this way, they would have more strength when facing the unknown beyond that.

"In that case..."

"Then you can give it a try."

Thinking of this, the two of them agreed. They couldn't find any reason to refuse.

"But to be on the safe side, as you said, our three-party bet will continue, and you don't need to help or interfere anymore. Is this a problem?"

"No, just do as the senior said!"

Now that things have come to this, Xia Ye naturally no longer has any objections. After all, he already knows the truth and will have to work hard towards "Tongtian" from now on, so there is no need to waste any more energy on this.

"Then, the two seniors, right now..."

He then looked at the two of them again. Although everything had been decided, the current situation still needed to have a result first.

"Haha, well...Brother Decao, is this game considered a draw?"

Zhuge Kongming smiled.

"Although you have more people than me, this game is won by a narrow margin."

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Sima Hui immediately looked at the chessboard in front of him and nodded.

"Indeed, I lost this game. Kong Ming, I haven't seen you for many years. I think your chess skills have improved a lot."

"Brother Decao, thank you for letting me!"

At this time, seeing that the two were about to end the game in a draw and disperse the anger, Xia Ye immediately spoke up and raised his hand to stop:

"Wait a moment, two seniors, since you have agreed to my proposal, please lend a helping hand to me!"

"Oh?"

"What do you want?"

The two raised their eyebrows when they heard this, and both looked at him at the same time.

Xia Ye then bowed:

"Two elders, since you all know my abilities, please serve as my 'material' to help me comprehend. The path I follow is to 'feel the heavens and earth, embrace everything'. I should gather all the paths of the world into one."

"The seniors are all 'top', and they all follow different paths. They can serve as 'nutrition' and 'reference' for the juniors. In order for the juniors to eventually achieve enlightenment and reach the sky, I ask the seniors to support me and lend me strength!"

The words fell...

wow——

In an instant, a force of Qi emerged from Xia Ye's body and merged into the surrounding Qi. This was achieved by combining the "Fenghou Qimen" with his own "Nine Turns of Qiankun", and it also became the "third party force" in this Qi situation.

And the next moment...

Swish!
The chessboards in front of Zhuge Kongming and Sima Hui disappeared, and two new chessboards appeared in front of them and Xia Ye. They immediately understood what he meant:
"Are you going to fight two people alone?"

"Two seniors, please!"

Xia Ye did not hesitate and immediately raised his hand to say "please". He really wanted to fight one against two so that he could understand the ways of the two and absorb their essence.

"Please both seniors try your best!"

"it is good!"

Seeing him like this, the two of them naturally would not shirk their responsibility. Since their help could potentially help him become a "man of great power", there was no reason for them not to help.

So the next moment, the two of them raised their hands at the same time, and a chess piece appeared between their fingers at the same time. This was the result of their own ways and their own aura, and it fell down.

Snapped!
When the two chess pieces fell, the surrounding aura also changed. Invisible forces began to squeeze the aura released by Xia Ye from two directions, attacking him from both sides.

It wasn't that the two of them wanted to make things difficult for him, but only in this way could they make him deeply understand the truth. Naturally, Xia Ye wouldn't say much, he just closed his eyes and immersed himself in it.

After a while...

Snapped!
Feeling the mystery of the two kinds of Qi, Xia Ye also discovered the gap between them, so he raised his hands and placed a piece on each of the two chessboards, and his own Qi also extended out.

In an instant, the two forces of energy that were pressing against him were stagnant and could no longer advance, which showed that his move was indeed effective and he had indeed seen through the key.

"Um……"

"Not bad, it's really good!"

Seeing that he could really fight two at the same time and find an opportunity to break the impasse, smiles appeared on Zhuge Kongming and Sima Hui's faces at the same time, which was further confirmation.

Since that was the case, they naturally no longer had any scruples and just let go. The chess pieces in their hands flashed again and fell down quickly.

Just like that, the three of them really started playing chess, and the three forces in the surrounding aura surged violently. They began to fight against each other, refusing to give in, and all wanted to devour the other.

And just as Xia Ye had thought when he was watching the game before, if it was just a simple competition of solving, breaking and planning the game, with "reasonableness", he could indeed fight one against two without losing the upper hand, which made the two of them even more surprised.

After that, about ten minutes passed...

Snapped!
When Xia Ye's last piece fell on the chessboard, the aura he released finally condensed into an unbreakable and unstoppable force, which directly swallowed up the forces of the other two parties, and the control of the entire aura fell completely into his hands.

"Two seniors, thank you for letting me!"

With a thought, the two chessboards disappeared, and he also saluted. He gained a lot from this game of chess, and his understanding of the "Way of Qi" was further improved.

"You're fine."

The two nodded, without showing the slightest distress about the defeat, but both smiled slightly, showing relief.
