Chapter 249 Enlightenment

In the endless void, there is no distinction between up and down, let alone front, back, left, and right.Deep and far away, boundless.

In the darkness like the deepest night, there are countless flickering lights dotted on it, blinking like eyes, adding a little freshness to the silent void.

The line of sight suddenly narrowed, and the flickering light gradually became bigger and brighter.When I got closer, I realized that it was a sphere burning with scorching flames.

This is a star.

Around the star, there are several smaller planets, which revolve around it according to a fixed trajectory.

Looking closer, on a certain planet, in the ocean, or on land, countless lives are slowly conceiving, growing, and evolving.All kinds of plants and animals appeared one after another, and gradually died out.

Then intelligent creatures appeared, with strange shapes, some cute, some fierce; some powerful like gods, some weak like ants.

Intelligent life knows how to build and create, but it also knows how to destroy.They compete for the environmental resources for survival and for everything they need.Thus, the inevitable battle happened...

Call ~
After an unknown amount of time, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, and withdrew from this mysterious and wonderful state.

Although he has been commanding the army to march and fight, Anthony's cultivation has never fallen behind.And his hard work was not in vain, the last stage of refining Qi was getting closer and closer to him, and the loosening of the bottleneck could be clearly felt.

Last night was just like countless nights in the past, sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating and practicing.But I didn't expect to enter such a wonderful realm.

"Could this be a peculiar sight to break through the bottleneck?"

Although Anthony withdrew from the cultivation state, he still maintained the original cross-legged posture and asked in a muttering voice.

Of course he wasn't really talking to himself, although there was no one around, there was still a Xiaobai in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"of course not!"

Xiaobai categorically denied his guess, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Whether the bottleneck is broken or not is a matter of cultivation level. But the vision you saw just now, or more precisely, it should be called perception, is a matter of state of mind. Generally speaking, only when faced with a This kind of situation can only happen when the big realm is promoted, and it is only a chance. You are only in the middle stage of refining and transforming Qi when you are exhausted, and you can also encounter enlightenment. This luck is enough to make people envious."

Anthony was indifferent, and didn't think there was anything to be surprised about.

"The bottleneck in the late stage of refining and gasification is as thin as a piece of window paper, which can be broken with a single poke. It seems that I am not far behind the big realm improvement you mentioned. Is it necessary to be so surprised?"

Xiaobai pouted, but didn't speak.

Anthony actually didn't know that the big realm Xiaobai mentioned was definitely not as simple as he thought.

Xiaobai didn't intend to explain, nor had the opportunity to explain, because there was a clear knock on the door.

"Anthony, are you up?"

It was the voice of Princess Yalena.

Anthony looked up, and it was already bright outside the window, but it turned out to be the next morning.

"Get up, wait for me."

Princess Yalina said happily outside: "That's good! You usually get up early, but you got up so late today, I thought you didn't want to go shopping with me! You know, you promised me yesterday. "

After hearing this, Anthony couldn't help but have a few black lines on his forehead, and the action of washing and tidying up was a bit faster.

Going shopping with a woman, even with a beautiful woman you like, is a horrible thing that you can't resist in the eyes of the male compatriots in Xiaobai's world.

Anthony didn't know why this happened. Anyway, for him, going shopping with Princess Yalena was a relaxed, happy and pleasing thing to do.

It's because Yalena is as gentle as water, understanding, and never embarrassing others.Whether it was due to differences in human customs and customs between the two worlds, Anthony did not know.

The two walked side by side on the streets of Mourning Town, and Yalina looked at Anthony from time to time, which made him very strange.

"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face that hasn't been washed off?"

Her Royal Highness shook her head and frowned her pretty eyebrows.

"No. I think you are a little different today than you used to be."

Anthony touched his nose, puzzled.

"What's the difference?"

"It's just a feeling. You want to ask what is different, but I can't answer it all at once." Yalena shook her head again, thinking hard.

She vaguely felt that the former Anthony was like the rising sun, warm and enthusiastic, making people very comfortable.Although today's Anthony is equally enthusiastic, it seems to be covered with a layer of mist, and there is a hint of coolness in the warmth.

Seeing her distress, Anthony couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair, and said with a smile, "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. I'm still me anyway, and I won't become some other monster after all."

Seeing his smile, Yalena found the familiar feeling of warmth and jade in the past, and felt relieved.

"Well, maybe I'm overthinking."

After speaking, he took Anthony's arm and walked towards the busiest street in the town.

It has been nearly two months since the brilliant army led by Anthony conquered and occupied the town of Mourning. Under his strict orders, the army rarely disturbed the people.After a long time, the local residents also put down their trembling mood and started their work and life again.

It's just that the ruler on the head has changed, and it's not a big deal.For the small town civilians living at the bottom, no matter how big things are, they can't compare to earning money to fill their stomachs.

This is the case on the street where the two walked. Those who should open the stalls still open the stalls, and those who should sell sell loudly.The stalls are densely packed, and there are also many customers.Bidding all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground, it's so lively.

Everything was the same as it was under the Riga Empire.

Princess Yalena was in high spirits today, holding Anthony's hand, looking here and there, touching everything, seeing everything novel, and finding everything interesting.

Anthony is naturally not interested in the things hawked at those stalls, but of course he will be happy from the bottom of his heart if the person he likes is happy.

Suddenly there was a commotion from one side of the street.The commotion spread rapidly, and soon, the whole street seemed to be enchanted, and it fell silent in an instant.

Yalina and Anthony didn't know what happened, they turned their heads and watched quietly.

The flow of people on the street slowly separated to the two sides, and a group of soldiers in bright armor escorted several people, passing through the middle of the street where people moved away.

The soldiers who appeared here were of course soldiers of the Glorious Empire, Anthony's subordinates.As for the detainees, there were men and women, and one of them was an old man with gray hair.All had hair, disheveled clothes, wounds and blood on their faces.

Yalina could clearly see the expressions of pity and anger on the faces of the residents of the small town on the street.

Compassion is for the few people who were escorted, and anger is of course for the soldiers of the glorious empire.

Anthony glanced at Her Royal Highness, sighed inwardly, and waved to stop the group of soldiers.

"Who are they? What's the matter?"

Seeing someone blocking the way, those soldiers drew out their weapons reflexively and stood ready.When he looked up, he saw General Anthony and Imperial Princess Yalena in front of him, almost kneeling in shock.

"Big, big, big general, the last general no, I don't know it's you..."

A soldier with the appearance of a small boss hurried forward, knelt down with a plop, stammering.

Anthony stretched out his hand, and the little boss stood up involuntarily.

"Those who don't know are not guilty, you don't have to be afraid. What happened to these people? But what happened?"

Seeing Anthony's amicable expression, the little boss really didn't mean to blame him.Only then did he stabilize his mind and answer his question.

"Back to the general, these people attacked our patrol troops and wounded several brothers. They were knocked down by us and captured. They are about to be escorted back to the camp and handed over to the commander."

This answer was not too unexpected for Anthony. Princess Yalena heard it, but she couldn't bear it.

"This man is so old, how could it be possible..."

Seeing Her Royal Highness asking a question, the little boss didn't dare to refute.Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Anthony said indifferently: "If you want to say something, you can say it anyway."

The little boss plucked up his courage and said to Princess Athena: "Your Highness, you don't know something. This old thing... don't look at the old man's age, he is more vicious than young people. A brother looked at him at his age. Old man, he was moved with compassion, but he found an opportunity to stab him so hard that he almost died on the spot."

Yalena let out a soft cry and covered her mouth with her hands, in disbelief.

"The two countries are at war, and it is the military's business to fight. But it is not only the soldiers who hate the enemy's country."

Even though his beloved woman was in front of him, Anthony still had a cold tone in his tone.For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene he saw in that mysterious state yesterday.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and everything is a straw dog. There is a cause, and there is an effect. The Riga Empire invaded us, we blocked it, and counterattacked back. This is cause and effect. We took down this town of Mourning, and the residents of the town hated us. Attacking our soldiers is also cause and effect."

Anthony pointed at those people, and finally pointed at the old man.Princess Yalena found that the strange feeling of strangeness in the morning appeared again. Anthony was not cold, but became indifferent.Looking at those wounded residents of the small town, it was like looking at a few ants, without any emotion.

"This old man wounded our soldier and intended to kill him. Our heroic fighters will of course knock him down and conduct further interrogation. All of this is also cause and effect."

"Our glorious empire keeps itself safe and has no disputes with others, but the Riga Empire brazenly invades us. This is unreasonable, but God doesn't care. This old man may suffer from this injury, and his life may be more dangerous in the future. God will not do it either. Mercy. This is the will of heaven, and it is also the destiny of heaven! There has never been mercy in this world, and people in the world can only rely on themselves to survive. If you want to control your destiny, you can only follow the laws of the heaven and earth and seek the truth wholeheartedly!"

As soon as the words fell, it was as if a thunderbolt fell from the clear sky, and it exploded suddenly, but it sank into Anthony's head in an instant.

At this moment, Anthony is guarded by treasures, without joy or sorrow, and has entered a kind of mystery that cannot be described in words.
