This hurdle is different for both the body and the mind!

Its existence depends on different individual understandings. If you believe it exists, then it exists; conversely, if you feel it is false, then it is not real.

This pass, which was not dangerous before, has become dangerous.

When Huang Quan stepped into that wall, what appeared before his eyes was no longer the scenery of a maze, but a hellish landscape!

Countless wandering souls, countless mournful howls...

Countless white bones littered the ground, and the stench of blood filled the air!

The sky here is also red, but compared to the red sky created by the gray-robed youth, it has a more intense gloom!

The ground here is black, as if representing an extreme form of death, and also a kind of despair!

Standing here, Huang Quan unconsciously felt a strange sense of familiarity, which made him frown...

"Everything here is fake..." Huang Quan said calmly after smelling a trace of blood.

However, just as Huang Quan finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in Huang Quan's sight in the distance. Moreover, the person walked with somewhat heavy steps and stopped about ten meters in front of Huang Quan!

As if he already knew of this person's existence, Huang Quan showed no surprise and calmly looked at him.

This person is one of Huang Quan's past lives, so his appearance is basically the same as Huang Quan's, but their temperaments are completely different.

Because of the evil energy that has merged with him, Huang Quan now exudes a murderous aura in this terrifying place, in addition to his calm demeanor. He is like a demon god who could erupt at any moment, causing fear to rise unconsciously in people who look at him.

The person who had already reached the Yellow Springs possessed an extremely deadly power, as if this space was his most realistic reflection.

"It's not fake, you just think it's fake." After a moment of silence, the other person spoke.

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "Really? And you? Are you real or fake?"

"What do you think?" one of Huang Quan's past incarnations asked in return.

Huang Quan fell silent again, but soon asked, "Could you tell me your name?"

"Twilight..."

"Twilight? That name does seem somewhat fitting for this place..."

“I cultivate the path of Asura, and this is the Asura Hell, so it is naturally suitable,” one of Huang Quan’s past lives said matter-of-factly.

"Enter the Asura realm, cultivate your mind, enter hell, and with a single-minded intent to kill, achieve the supreme Asura path... This path is very powerful!" Huang Quan muttered to himself, as if he saw his own path in the words of this person from his past life.

"But I just can't pull myself out of it! Sigh!" Mo Mu murmured, his expression suddenly darkening.

"Why did you appear?" Shaking his head, Huang Quan didn't want to know too much about the end of the world.

Upon hearing this, Mo Mu regained his previous indifference and said, "I thought you already knew the answer..."

"When I appeared in this world, I sensed your presence, but I'm not entirely clear about the strangeness of this labyrinth yet." Suddenly, Huang Quan's expression turned doubtful.

After a moment of silence, Mo Mu said, "My appearance is not because of this maze, but because of you."

"Because of me?"

"That's right! Answer me a question, and if you can find the answer, you will understand everything."

"What's the problem?" Huang Quan asked without hesitation, clearly puzzled.

At this moment, Mo Mu did not speak immediately after hearing this. Instead, he looked at Huang Quan, and his gaze seemed to see through everything about Huang Quan, and he did not look away for a long time!

But Huang Quan, who was being stared at by Mo Mu, suddenly felt a sense of being seen by himself. It was as if everything had ceased to exist in that instant, leaving only Mo Mu's gaze!

In an instant, Huang Quan's mind jolted. He calmed his mind abruptly, and a powerful belief silently emanated from him, pulling him back to reality. It was as if this belief was something that could never be affected by anything...

At this moment, Mo Mu revealed a smile that was hard to decipher, and said calmly, "You are indeed much stronger than before!"

"Speak!" Ignoring Mo Mu's words, Huang Quan spoke calmly once more.

"Am I really him?" Without further ado, Mo Mu immediately asked with a smile.

"real?"

“Yes! That’s the problem!” As he spoke, a strange scene suddenly unfolded before Huang Quan’s eyes: Mo Mu’s body gradually disappeared as he spoke.

"Think about it carefully. Once you understand, this hellish realm will naturally cease to exist!"

At this moment, Mo Mu had completely disappeared.

Huang Quan didn't think much about Mo Mu's disappearance. From Mo Mu's appearance to that crucial question, what seemed like an ordinary chat was actually full of hidden dangers. If it weren't for Huang Quan's strong belief, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape this calamity!

Moreover, the departure of Mo Mu is also a crisis!

Having witnessed Mo Mu's disappearance, she lost the object of her pursuit and began to have the unspoken thought that Mo Mu was an illusion. However, if she disregarded Mo Mu's disappearance and insisted that he was real, she would then come to believe that he was real. But if the outcome was wrong, it would still be a crisis...

Is he real or fake?

Even the underworld needs an answer; everything seems like a cycle!

This targeting is an attack on the soul of the Yellow Springs!

If one falls into the Yellow Springs, then all of this will come to an end!

But what Mo Mu didn't know was that Huang Quan already had the answer in his heart when Huang Quan asked him his name.

"Whether it's true or false..."

"The existence of this world reflects your truth, therefore, to this world, you are real..."

"But you died before, the past is the past, so the you of today is fake..."

"The problem isn't my answer, but whether what you expect is true or false..."

"And this question... I've already given you the answer. The first thing you said to me after you appeared was your expectation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky directly above Huang Quan suddenly trembled, as if in great response to his words...

"This world reflects your truth!!"

However, as Huang Quan spoke, all the dead souls in this Asura Hell opened their blood-red maws and charged towards Huang Quan with that chilling voice, as if they wanted to devour him!

The sky and the earth immediately began to shrink rapidly, and a rumbling sound echoed through the heavens...

Moreover, with this shrinking range, the void of blackness beyond that distance can soon be clearly seen with the naked eye!

"You're wrong, you're going to die!!!" Suddenly, a hysterical roar came from the sky.

"Right or wrong, the answer... lies in our hearts!"

At this moment, facing the attacks of those dead souls and the changes in the world, Huang Quan did not dodge. He calmly closed his eyes and uttered these last words...

If you close your eyes, some areas will be in darkness!

The moment he closed his eyes, the whole world suddenly fell silent.

The roars in the air, the shrieks of the dead, the changes in heaven and earth—all seemed to have vanished…

Suddenly, the chirping of insects and the calls of birds reached his ears. Hearing this, he smiled and opened his eyes...

Here, there are green mountains and clear waters, a place completely different from the hellish landscape it once was...

It was beautiful here, and Huang Quan's heart seemed to calm down. He was in the mountains, gazing at this world that seemed untouched by the dust of the world.

He smiled and couldn't help but see a small pavilion ahead, in which a young man dressed in white was sitting. Without thinking much, he walked straight into the pavilion and sat down opposite the young man without saying a word.

A gentle spring breeze is blowing, making it extremely pleasant.

A small pavilion, where all things are at peace.

There were two people in the pavilion, both of whom remained silent.

Dusk comes again, and night falls once more.

Finally, Huang Quan stood up, looked around the place, and then said softly to the young man, "Speak, what's your question?"

Upon hearing this, the young man opposite him shook his head and said his first words: "There's no need for that. You can leave now!"

Huang Quan smiled, showing no surprise whatsoever, for he knew this person was different from Mo Mu…

Because he is... Li!

"This world is beautiful, this is the world you wished for..."

"Of course, that's the world I hope for."

After speaking, Huang Quan's figure disappeared from this world.

The young man in white remained silent.

The world shifted once more. This time, what Huang Quan saw was neither the Asura Hell nor a world of extreme beauty, but a dark night, a night in which nothing could be seen, a night just before dawn.

As before, in the dark night sky, another of his past lives appeared before his eyes.

He was dressed in gray clothes, which were similar to Huang Quan's gray robe, but only in color.

He stood beneath the night sky, naturally exuding a sense of tranquility, as if the heavens and earth themselves could become still with his stillness...

This is a realization, this is loneliness...

After all, true stillness is when nothing exists...

Upon seeing Huang Quan's arrival, he didn't immediately ask any questions, nor did he take action like he had before. Instead, he slowly transformed his indifference into calm.

"What is your question?" Huang Quan asked as always after thinking for a while.

But the man in gray in his previous life inexplicably asked in return, "Then what is your question?"

"My question?" Huang Quan asked, puzzled.

"That's right, your question? You encountered Mo Mu, you encountered Li, so... you must also have some questions you want to ask me, right?"

"Hmm?" Huang Quan pondered, but just as the man said, Huang Quan did indeed have a question after his thoughts had been stirred.

"The Asura Path that Mo Mu cultivates is different from the Path of All Things. What about you? What path do you cultivate?" Huang Quan asked.

"Hehe!" The gray-robed past life smiled slightly and replied, "That's a good question. If you're smart enough, you might even find the answer to the question I might ask from this question. But unfortunately, I don't cultivate the Dao; I cultivate life!"

"Life?" Huang Quan was increasingly puzzled.

“That’s right, it’s life, a kind of life called ‘the highest good is like water.’ The heart of water, the heart of water, when the heart is as still as water, then nothing can move it, and it can see the final path. Therefore, it can be grasped at will…” At this point, the gray-robed past life gently extended his left hand and casually shook hands.

But at that moment, he seemed to have grasped something invisible, but after that thing throbbed violently in his hand, it vanished in an instant.

"I don't understand, it's a bit profound." Huang Quan frowned, saying without any fear of embarrassment.

Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, the man in gray smiled again and said softly, "It's normal. It's impossible for people to truly understand each other. Life is the same. You are me, and you are him, that's all..."
