Thank you for your guidance, senior. May I ask what you mean by 'I'? Yi Zhou asked, confused.

Don't say it, don't say it. Haha … Both of you, come in. As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the thatched cottage opened with a creepy sound.

Go in. After Yi Zhou finished speaking to Mu Xi, he stepped into the house first. There was nothing in the room but darkness. A mass of green energy was fluctuating up and down, giving off a unique and refreshing feeling.

What you see now is my true form. The voice came slowly from the energy. Yi Zhou was startled for a moment, and said: Didn't Senior already cultivate to a humanoid form? Why...

Ha ha, it's nothing. Actually, my body had already been destroyed long ago in Mu City. After living for so long and waiting for so long, he could finally free himself today. Furthermore, unexpectedly, he had obtained a new successor. This made him even more happy. His voice did not hide his excitement and joy.

Why can't I hear what senior is saying? Yi Zhou frowned. Lad, you don't have to worry. When it's time for you to understand, you will naturally understand everything. You only need to remember that your life is very precious and is a big variable in the world's structure. The voice said.

What do you mean? Yi Zhou braced himself and said. No need to ask. Do you know what the five elements are? Wood type energy path.

It was said that this was something that had existed since the beginning of the world. The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were intertwined and restrained each other. The five elements of the cycle was a law that would never change between heaven and earth. Yi Zhou said.

How did he know about these strange things, and why had I never heard of them? Mu Xi shook her head and thought.

Although everything in the world is formed from the five elements of energy, there are still some people or things that are not like this. The me that you're looking at right now is actually just one of thousands upon thousands of wood attribute energies. And there is a difference between me and them, that I have the intelligence, the innate intelligence. Once you have mastered this type of energy, you will be able to borrow the wood energy of the world for your own use. But it's just borrowed, not driven by you, do you understand? The wood elemental energy seemed to be warning Yi Zhou, and his words were extremely serious.

I will definitely remember your words. Yi Zhou bowed. Hmm, in all these years, there have been many experts who have wanted to absorb or refine me. However, they have all failed. Do you know why? The voice of the wood element sounded out.

I don't know. Yi Zhou shook his head.

That's because they don't have the ability. They don't have the qualifications. The wood elemental energy was neither happy nor sad. Then why is this junior qualified? Yi Zhou became even more suspicious, there were so many experts who did not have the qualifications, but he did not waste any time, this was just too strange.

Because you have the responsibility that all living things bring to you, and this responsibility can only be borne, can not be denied. The wood elemental energy seemed to know everything, but he didn't say anything. There was nothing more urgent than this, Yi Zhou asked: Who exactly gave me this mission?

Remember, from now on, you will truly walk the path of no return. You can only succeed, you can't fail, this is your fate. The darkness is about to descend upon the land, and the path of slaughter is about to open. The wood elemental energy did not answer Yi Zhou's question, but instead spoke a bunch of even more inexplicable and miraculous things.

Yi Zhou still wanted to say something, but to his astonishment, he found that he couldn't move. Streams of extremely terrifying energy drilled into Yi Zhou's body, without the slightest bit of hesitation.

I will stand by the law for you for seven days. How much you can absorb will depend on how much you can bear. The voice of the wood element suddenly sounded out in Yi Zhou's mind. Following that, a huge, terrifying pain struck suddenly, as if it wanted to tear apart Yi Zhou's sea of consciousness. Seeing that, Yi Zhou immediately maintained the clarity in his mind, and then silently activated the Immortal Arts.

Once the < Immortal Art > was activated, he started to absorb the wood type energy without any hesitation. As strands of attributed energy entered his body, Yi Zhou could clearly feel that his body was filled with a fresh and comfortable feeling. As if filled with endless life force, the Martial Qi also increased dramatically, quickly rushing towards the bottleneck of the third level of the Earth Realm. Even the mysterious Martial Qi came out and started to frantically absorb the energy. It was obvious that they all wanted to get a share and get the most benefits.

Another large mass of energy suddenly attacked Yi Zhou's body, causing him to feel as if his head had exploded, causing him to be in extreme pain. Terrifying perspiration poured down, instantly wetting all of Yi Zhou's clothes. Threads of blood gushed out of Yi Zhou's pores all over his body. Before long, Yi Zhou's face no longer had a trace of blood, and his entire person seemed to have contracted a serious illness.

This was even more vicious than suffering through a tribulation. Yi Zhou thought with incomparable pain in his heart. As if he was responding to Yi Zhou's thoughts, his tendons and veins started to break bit by bit. What was more lamentable was that in the past, there was still that mysterious Martial Qi that helped to repair it, but this time, that Martial Qi did not seem to have any intentions of helping, and was only absorbing the energy.

Inhumane thing. Yi Zhou could not help but scold.

Another wave of energy attacks caused Yi Zhou's veins to completely shatter, as wave after wave of cracking sounds exploded out. At the same time, even his bones felt like they were about to break.

Bang!" Yi Zhou's bones were completely shattered by the terrifying barrage of energy. He became a man of blood, devoid of any good parts. Other than the clarity in his mind, Zhou Yi had also entered a state of suspended animation. The tiny bit of soul force in his mind was still executing the order of Yi Zhou before he fainted, not willing to take a step back. It maintained that little bit of clarity.

Senior, Senior... Yi Zhou tried to call out twice, but no one responded. Just then, a voice suddenly came out. Yi Zhou, Yi Zhou, wake up … After Yi Zhou heard this, he immediately opened his hazy eyes. What entered his vision was Mu Xi's anxious face.

Yi Zhou shouted loudly, and said timidly: "What are you doing?!" Be careful that I accuse you of indecency.

If it wasn't you, why don't you take a look at this place? Mu Xi struck Yi Zhou and shouted loudly.

This place is where I used the thunder to move the nine heavens. Yi Zhou looked around at his surroundings and said in a daze.

What? So you were the one who caused the thunder tribulation a few days ago. Mu Xi pointed to Yi Zhou.

Yeah, hehe. Wait, what did you just say? A few days ago? Yi Zhou seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said in shock.

Yeah, it's been seven days. Mu Xi said with a smile.

Seven days? How was that possible? I don't feel like it for long. Yi Zhou scratched his head in confusion.

Hehe, you are stronger than me. I only absorbed two days before I woke up. Mu Xi said. Then what's your current strength? Yi Zhou asked.

"Ugh …" Heaven level 4. Mu Xi spoke the truth.

Thump Thump... Yi Zhou felt his heart stop a few beats. She's only been up to level 4 in two days, so why should I be up to level 4 in seven days? Furthermore, her level was high as well. It truly was unreasonable. Was the difference between a girl and a boy really that great? Just as Yi Zhou was lost in his thoughts, Mu Xi opened his mouth and asked: "Do you know why we are here?" I clearly remember that I was in the grass hut, then slept for a while, and then how did I get here? Mu Xi thought as he paced himself over and over again with his index finger.

Don't even think about it. The barrier should be broken. Yi Zhou said.

A barrier? Mu Xi turned around and asked. It was an illusion. Yi Zhou said awkwardly.

An illusion was an illusion. Why did it have to be a barrier? But why was the illusion so real? Mu Xi asked in confusion.

It was not a complete illusion. There was a real side to it. Yi Zhou explained.

Oh, then how did you find out we were in an illusion, er, no, a boundary? Mu Xi asked. How? I don't know, I just feel it. Yi Zhou said embarrassedly.

What? Feel? Then why do you feel this way? Mu Xi asked in confusion. Didn't you realize that as soon as we entered that strange illusion, things seemed to have been arranged? Yi Zhou asked.

Is everything settled? Why do you say that? Mu Xi said. Think about it, we're being chased into the water, and there's a hole in the water. There was no way out. I climbed up the cliff, and I just ran out of strength. You climbed up and got stuck in the middle of it, and I just happened to find a cocoon, and we walked around in the orchard for a long time, and I didn't find another. In addition, two people from the Sect had set fire to the forest, but he was actually able to burn it. Didn't you notice that there was no dried wood in the fruit tree? So how did they light it? With all these coincidences, it was no longer coincidences. Someone had plotted all of this in order to get us into that thatched cottage. That's why I think it's all an illusion, designed to follow our route. Yi Zhou supported his chin on his hand as he analyzed the situation.

So what makes you think these things aren't all coincidences? Mu Xi retorted. Actually, I didn't realize this at the beginning. It was just that I suddenly thought of it when I asked about the wood element. Yi Zhou said with a bit of a blush.

So that's how it is. Then what do we do now? Mu Xi nodded. What do I do? Flee. Yi Zhou said. We can't escape anymore. Right now, there are already dozens of Sect disciples approaching us slowly, and there are a few that aren't weak auras. Mu Xi looked around at the quiet forest and laughed.

Heaven Ranked Martial Cultivator, then we will slaughter our way out. Yi Zhou said. Kill your head! With your little strength, you still aren't strong enough to fill the gaps in other people's teeth. Mu Xi said in disdain.

Don't worry, I have the Lightning Haste for nine days. Yi Zhou laughed sinisterly. Save it, from what I know, your Martial Skill can only be used once in a long time, and you also have to change locations. Although I don't know why you were able to withstand the lightning tribulation, I want to remind you that it wasn't just you who was immune to it, even a Heaven Stage powerhouse would be able to survive. Mu Xi said while smiling happily.

What? It would take a long time, so why? You still want to change places? Yi Zhou had never heard of there being such a restriction in the Ninth Heaven. Do you think there's a lot of thunder in the sky? Idiot, you basically ran out of energy after using it once. You will have to wait for a few days to recover. Mu Xi knocked Yi Zhou and said.

I said how I failed the last time, so that's how it was. Yi Zhou laughed awkwardly. What do we do now? Mu Xi asked again after changing into male attire. It was still a single word. Yi Zhou frowned.

What? Mu Xi asked. Flee. Yi Zhou chuckled, and said softly. Nonsense, the problem was how to escape? Mu Xi rolled her eyes as she said. Two ways. One of them is you attracted to them, so I ran. The other was that I had attracted them, so you had to run. Yi Zhou said.

That's not the only way. I'll get them. Mu Xi said decisively. Forget it, let me go. I'm not slower than you. As Yi Zhou spoke, he launched his movement technique and flew off in a certain direction.
