Chapter 64 He was competitive and jealous, he fought and snatched.

"Are you... sure?" The hesitant words escaped his lips, his eyes filled with the devastation of his worldview.

[Yes...that's right. Both are indeed real.]

The system slowly spoke.

[Host, you should know what the Boundless Sea is, right?]

Gu Xiaozhu was taken aback. Although she didn't quite understand the connection between the two, she still nodded.

Despite having "sea" in its name, Wuji Sea is not actually a real sea.

The spacetime of the Boundless Sea is extremely chaotic, with countless rivers of world destiny flowing through it, and countless different branches of fate and timelines surging within it. It is these rivers of destiny that converge and combine to form the "sea".

Those who enter the Boundless Sea can glimpse their future destiny by observing these rivers of fate, and even transcend certain aspects of this world. But opportunity and danger always coexist.

Due to the unique nature of the Boundless Sea, cultivators who are not at the Nascent Soul stage or above have a very high probability of getting lost in this complex river of fate after entering it, and may even be unable to find their way back to the timeline of their original world.

As for those cultivators who are not divination practitioners, even if their cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, they must be extremely cautious when entering this place, otherwise they may easily get lost.

This is why the Boundless Sea is guarded by the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

[Then you should also know that if you were in the Boundless Sea, you might even encounter "yourself" from different timelines or even different worlds.]

Gu Xiaozhu suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You mean..."

That's right, the other, the modern "Jiang Zhihe," emerged from the Boundless Sea.

“But… this is clearly not the Boundless Sea, and there is a sealing array outside the Boundless Sea. Unless you use a pass or have the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion open it, you can’t go out or enter, whether you are inside or outside.”

I don't know about that.

However, since this Jiang Zhihe is real, he definitely poses no danger to you.

Gu Xiaozhu nodded.

That's true.

"Xiaozhu!" Two extremely loud shouts suddenly came from the other side. The two voices appeared almost simultaneously, and both even contained a strong sense of...accusation?

Accusations against the other party.

Gu Xiaozhu snapped out of her daze and looked up at the two people not far away.

Two figures, one in red and one in white, stood facing each other, their expressions clearly showing their displeasure.

Ah, is it just that you're annoyed?

Gu Xiaozhu thought to herself.

If it wasn't murderous intent, then it means both sides realized that the person on the other side was real, even though it's really unbelievable.

When the two men over there saw the girl looking this way, they immediately spoke:

"Xiaozhu, you need to stay away from him!"

"Xiaozhu! You need to stay away from him!"

Two voices rang out simultaneously, even saying the exact same words.

No wonder it's the same person.

Gu Xiaozhu sighed inwardly, but was still a little puzzled: "Why?"

Since both of them are real and won't hurt her, why do they all say that?

When the question was asked, both of them seemed to choke on their words and fell silent.

Gu Xiaozhu: ?

Jiang Zhihe's eyes darted around, glancing at his modern-clothed counterpart beside him. He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. But in the end, he suppressed his doubts and said to the other person, "Alright! Right now, the most important thing isn't for the two of us to argue."

The other "Jiang Zhihe" narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, and said, "What is that? I just ended up here out of nowhere, you have to give me an explanation!"

Jiang Zhihe's eyes widened: "Explain? I don't know how you got here either!" After saying that, he rubbed his temples with a headache. "No, no, let's get back to the point."

"In short, Xiaozhu's body is about to give out. We must find the pass as soon as possible, then use the pass to enter the Boundless Sea, and finally obtain the last fragment of the soul to save Xiaozhu!"

"No... what? What do you mean?" Jiang Zhihe stared blankly at himself, his brows furrowing more and more as he thought about it. "What do you mean... Xiaozhu's body is about to give out? And what is that soul fragment?"

Jiang Zhihe: "The Boundless Sea, you know it, right?"

"Know."

Jiang Zhihe: "You know about that pass, right?"

"nature."

Jiang Zhihe clapped his hands: "Then there's no problem! All you need to do now is help us find the pass and then enter the Boundless Sea."

"The rest is none of your business. Go back to wherever you need to go. Don't get in the way of mere Golden Core cultivators."

Jiang Zhihe's forehead twitched slightly.

Your cultivation level is high, isn't it because you are me from the future?

How could he not realize how rude he is!

"You... really don't know how you got here?" Gu Xiaozhu thought of what the system had said earlier and stepped forward to ask.

When Jiang Zhihe faced Gu Xiaozhu, his expression softened considerably, and even the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up: "That's right, I really don't know. I only remember that one second I was crossing the street, and the next second I was here."

As he spoke, his gaze slowly shifted to the boy beside him, dressed in a red shirt that he recognized all too well: "And then I saw this annoying thing."

Jiang Zhihe: Things? ???

He laughed in anger: "Yeah, you've been downgraded to a 'thing' now, you're not even a human anymore."

Jiang Zhihe responded with a smile that seemed to be clenched between his teeth.

Gu Xiaozhu was still thinking.

According to the system, the other modern Jiang Zhihe did indeed come from the Wuji Sea, but if the passage to the Wuji Sea had not been opened, he would not have been able to come at all.

So the only possibility is—

The passage to the Boundless Sea has been opened.

Could it be... that Zhu Songyun found the pass?

"Huh? You're all here!" Just then, an offbeat voice came from ahead. Then three figures slowly appeared.

Teng Shao, Zhu Songyun, and... another Zhu Songyun?

The other Zhu Songyun is a bit taller than the current Zhu Songyun. Although her temperament is also somewhat unconventional, she is more free-spirited and has an underlying sense of composure.

Her eyes were intact, clear and bright, yet seemed to have countless lines of fate drawn through them.

Jiang Zhihe stared wide-eyed at the two Zhu Songyun figures over there, and asked in astonishment, "You too...?"

Zhu Songyun smiled, a smile that was inexplicably sly, and patted her other self beside her: "Yeah, I've met another version of myself too!" She suddenly changed her expression, her face showing exaggerated regret, "Alas, what a pity, I thought I was the only special one."

"Have you gotten your passes?" Gu Xiaozhu asked.

Zhu Songyun was taken aback: "No, I did run into you first."

No?

If they didn't open the Boundless Sea, then it would still be...

As if she had thought of something, she slowly raised her head, and her gaze met that of the more mature "Zhu Songyun," whose eyes were full of smiles.

"...It was Jiang Xingwei."

She murmured.

Jiang Zhihe moved closer to her and, hearing Gu Xiaozhu's whisper, asked in confusion, "What?"

Gu Xiaozhu: "The other you and the other Songyun both came from the Boundless Sea." She turned to look at the boy beside her, "It was Jiang Xingwei who opened the passage to the Boundless Sea."

"Due to the unique nature of the Boundless Sea, both space and time within it are unstable. The opening of the passage will naturally affect this area as well."

Jiang Zhihe realized: "So the collapse of the stairs and the strange things like the no-fly zone... are all caused by the Boundless Sea."

He looked up at his other self: "Even they are like that."

“You guessed right.” Zhu Songyun’s voice rang out slowly, her eyes seemed to shimmer with golden light, and she smiled slightly: “My master is much more capable than me. He went into seclusion at first because he foresaw this calamity, and now, it is his idea that is the solution.”

“Feigning obedience to Him, in the instant that He relaxes His guard while you are ‘following His commands,’ you open the passage to the Boundless Sea.”

"Without his deliberate control over the aura emanating from the Boundless Sea, time and space would be disrupted, and His vision would be temporarily obscured, making it impossible for Him to find His target."

"And the time during which [He] was deceived was the time for us to search for the fragments of the soul."

Gu Xiaozhu looked up at "Zhusongyun": "So, do you know the entrance to the Boundless Sea, and the location of the soul fragments?"

"Zhu Songyun" smiled and smiled, "Naturally."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

At the same time, a faint light gradually appeared in Zhu Songyun's dull eyes beside her, and his eyes were slowly regaining their color.

With a bright and cheerful smile, she declared, "Hold on tight, let's go!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and her bright, lively eyes shone with an astonishing light!

A massive and complex array was set up in an instant, and the rising light enveloped everyone present.

In the instant her vision was swallowed by the white light, Gu Xiaozhu felt her hands being pulled by her left and right.

… …

As the white light gradually faded and her vision returned, she looked around.

The surrounding rock walls were still familiar, but directly in front of them, a huge crack, as if countless images were flashing by, stretched across the sky, laid bare before their eyes.

A mysterious aura emanated from it, making the other "Jiang Zhihe" unconsciously want to get closer.

After all, he doesn't belong here.

Gu Xiaozhu stared at the crack, utterly shocked. Just as she was about to step forward for a closer look, she felt a pulling force on her hand.

It's still two hands.

Gu Xiaozhu: "?"

She slowly looked to her side and saw "Jiang Zhihe" on her left and "Jiang Zhihe" on her right.

The two men held her hands, one on each side, and haven't let go since.

Gu Xiaozhu stared at the two of them for a while before awkwardly asking, "Um...you two...can you let go now?"

Jiang Zhihe looked at him on the other side and snorted coldly: "If he loosens his grip, I'll loosen mine."

On the other side, "Jiang Zhihe" immediately spoke up: "You let go first, and then I'll...!"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a familiar yet unfamiliar spiritual force suddenly surge towards him, making his hand numb and stiff, forcing him to release Gu Xiaozhu's hand.

He looked up and saw the red-clad boy on the other side smiling at him with his eyes crinkled.

It was a smug yet sarcastic laugh.

Jiang Zhihe: "..."
