After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

Afterwards, as if in a fit of pique, Yu Linzhou moved out of the main peak and into Qiyue Peak.

He set up multiple barriers outside the peak, preventing anyone from entering or seeing him, thus completely isolating himself.

Lin Zhixu followed behind him, watching him all alone, and couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

He had never thought before that Yu Linzhou might be lonely living alone on Qiyue Peak.

After all, Yu Linzhou's personality will eventually lead him to isolate everyone.

But now it's discovered that Yu Linzhou also feels lonely and envies others who have family and friends by their side.

Just then, a violent tremor suddenly came from beneath my feet.

Lin Zhixu suddenly grabbed the stone wall beside him and looked up.

Everything around was crumbling, the trees, the rocks, and the distant sea of ​​clouds were peeling away piece by piece like a shattered mirror, revealing the hazy void below.

But Yu Linzhou did not react at all.

He understood; it was time for him to go.

Yu Linzhou seemed to sense something and looked in Lin Zhixu's direction.

Even though there was nothing in front of him, his heart suddenly began to pound violently, and a sudden, inexplicable panic gripped his chest.

Are you leaving me too?

He reached out, grasping at something in vain in the air, "Don't go, please don't go..."

Lin Zhixu looked at his reddened eyes.

Taking a deep breath, in the last moment before leaving, he poured all his thoughts into this empty body, giving this little bitter gourd a little sweetness at the last moment.

The wind in the illusion suddenly softened, and Yu Linzhou's eyes widened as he saw a very faint and blurry figure leaning down from the backlight.

The figure was so thin it was almost transparent, yet for the first time, it was truly reflected in his pupils.

Then, he felt a gentle touch on the corner of his lips, as light as a feather, like a response that had been long overdue.

"We'll meet again."

A very soft voice fell into his ear, as if it came from a very, very far distance.

The moment the words fell, the figure vanished into the sunlight.

Yu Linzhou stood alone on the empty peak, the surrounding scenery still the familiar Qiyue Peak, as if nothing had ever happened.

He raised his hand in a daze, his fingertips lightly touching the corner of his lips.

There seemed to be a faint trace of warmth remaining there, but he could no longer grasp anything.

He slowly squatted down and buried his face in his palms.

In the end, he couldn't leave anything behind.

……

Lin Zhixu emerged from the illusion and stood behind the stone gate for a while before regaining his senses.

Before him stood a dimly lit hall, surrounded by familiar fellow disciples, yet his mind remained trapped in the illusion of over a thousand years past.

He had been by Yu Linzhou's side for so long that the people and things in reality had become somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Luo Yiyan, Jiang Che, Zhou Tong, and Chu Yan surrounded him, their faces full of worry.

He stared at them blankly, momentarily unable to recall who they were.

A sudden, electric shock-like pain shot through his mind, and a vivid memory was forcibly injected into him, snapping him back to reality.

Lin Zhixu closed his eyes in lingering fear: [System, thanks.]

System: [You're welcome.]

Seeing his blank expression suddenly clear, Luo Yiyan felt a sense of relief wash over her, but she still asked anxiously, "Zhixu, are you alright? Do you still recognize us?"

Lin Zhixu smiled and said, "Of course I recognize it. Don't worry, I was just spacing out, I'm fine now."

The four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Zhixu looked around and saw that many disciples had already come out of the gate, some happy, some sad, some empty-handed, and some laden with gifts.

He looked around but didn't see that familiar figure, and subconsciously asked, "Hasn't Yu Linzhou come out yet?"

All four of them were startled at the same time: "Who?"

Lin Zhixu realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, "It's nothing, I misspoke. I was just wondering if one of you was missing, or if She Zhiyi hadn't come out yet?"

The group shook their heads.

The four of them came out early, but after waiting for a long time, Lin Zhixu and She Zhiyi still hadn't come out. They were worried that they might have encountered some danger inside the door.

Lin Zhixu is finally out, and only She Zhiyi is missing. I wonder how he is doing.

As the group was talking, a stone door not far away suddenly exploded open, scattering rubble and raising dust everywhere.

Several disciples who were nearby were so shocked that they took several steps back, and all eyes in the hall turned to look in that direction.

She Zhiyi emerged from the billowing dust, her expression quite innocent.

The group of people stared in disbelief as they went to greet them.

Zhou Tong was shocked: "What happened? What did you do? Why are you making such a commotion?"

She Zhiyi patted the dust off her shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's nothing, I just accidentally blew up the thing inside this door."

Everyone: "...?"

What the hell? What did you blow up?

Lin Zhixu rubbed his temples and turned to the others to ask about the important matter: "Alright, let's get down to business. Did you find any clues to get out from inside the door?"

Jiang Che shook his head, and Chu Yan followed suit.

She Zhiyi... He just blew up everything inside that door, so any clues would have been turned to ashes long ago.

Only Zhou Tong and Luo Yiyan said they had found something.

"I saw some writing inside the door, but I couldn't quite understand it," Luo Yiyan said, squatting down and writing it on the ground with his finger. "It roughly means, 'Neither alive nor dead, neither door nor gate.'"

"We should know this now. It means that there are good and bad doors among these doors, but the clues to the door of life are still unclear."

Zhou Tong added from the side, "This should be useful. It means, 'A round wheel hangs in the azure sky, with no oblique light in any direction, neither east nor west, standing in the center of the vast void.' It looks like a riddle to me, so mysterious and profound that I can't solve it."

The others looked completely bewildered.

I can't understand it at all.

Lin Zhixu pondered for a moment and then said, "I can roughly guess some of Zhou Tong's riddle. It probably refers to the time when the sun is at its zenith."

Jiang Che frowned: "But there's no concept of time here, and we can't see the sun. How can we tell if the sun is directly overhead?"

Luo Yiyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, her eyes lighting up: "We don't need to look at the sun outside. Even if the sun is shining outside, it can't penetrate this hall. We can build one ourselves."

The group all turned to look at him: "How do we build it?"

Luo Yiyan looked up at the dome of the main hall: "We can condense a spirit sphere, raise it to the highest point of the dome, and then have all the cultivators with fire spirit roots inject fire spirit power into it to ignite the spirit sphere."

The group thought the method was feasible, but their strength was too small, and they still needed to find others to help.

Lin Zhixu looked around.

Only then did they realize that almost half of the disciples in the hall were gone. It seemed that the ratio between the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death was still that of the Gate of Death.

Luo Yiyan said, "Since you all think it's feasible, I'll go and gather the disciples and tell them the news."
