Chapter 137: Meet the Mysterious Old Man Again

Flames surged across the sky, along with ten sharp red arrows.

Su Qingwu controlled the flying sword under his feet and retreated quickly, while performing the Ten Thousand Trees Transformed into Swords Technique.

In an instant, hundreds of swords were fired at the same time.

Due to the special environment, things with wood attributes are really limited, otherwise this technique could exert greater power.

A moment later, the attacks from both sides collided, and a deafening explosion was heard instantly.

At the same time, flames filled the sky.

Su Qingwu quickly changed his casting gestures and used the Vast Sea Wave Technique.

A burst of banging sounds followed, and the water-based spiritual power turned into a huge wave at this moment, rushing towards the blazing flames.

In order to avoid contact with magma and trigger a high probability of a violent explosion, she deliberately restricted the water flow at the bottom to a certain height.

From a distance, the entire fighting area can be described as a world of water and fire.

The ten fire snakes were blocked by the overlapping huge waves and could not move forward for the time being.

Su Qingwu took advantage of this opportunity to control the remaining eight Cangyun swords with his spiritual power and launched an attack.

Due to the lack of a sword, it was unable to form a sword formation, and its power was greatly weakened. It was difficult to determine the winner in the fight against the fire snake.

The battle reached a stalemate.

Soon, Su Qingwu found time to lock onto one of the fire snakes and perform the Qian Yuan Ding Shen Jue.

The latter's body was frozen in place in an instant, and was cut into two by the sword light that followed, and his breath disappeared instantly.

Relying on this technique, the remaining nine fire snakes were solved one by one.

At this moment, the surrounding scene changed again.

The magma and sea of ​​fire disappeared completely, and an ancient and distant palace appeared in sight.

Su Qingwu was at the gate of the palace at this moment.

With a creaking sound, the palace door slowly opened inside.

At the uppermost position in the hall, there was a person sitting.

He looked unkempt, holding a worn-out folding fan in his right hand and a wine gourd in his left.

This image is exactly the same as the old man Su Qingwu saw in Suiyuanzhai in Qingmufang City.

There, she spent 128 spirit stones to purchase the Tongxuan Zhenxi Jue.

Strictly speaking, that was the second adventure she had encountered since she started practicing, apart from the Qiankun Bottle.

Over the years, Su Qingwu relied on the Tongxuan Xixi Jue to conceal his cultivation level and avoided many unnecessary troubles when he was still weak.

Especially during the time outside the gate.

Recalling her experience in Suiyuanzhai, she remembered that the moment the transaction was completed, she was taken out of the temple by a mysterious force.

Since then, no temple with the three characters "Suiyuanzhai" engraved on it has been seen again.

But now, in this test of the mysterious gate, I saw this abbot, and I was so surprised that I couldn't express it in words.

Just as her thoughts were racing, the old man looked over and said with a smile:

"My dear friend, we meet again after several years."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu put aside his complicated thoughts and asked carefully:

"Senior, was this trial ground created by you?"

The old man hummed.

"You have passed the test. Come in and talk. The palace is safe."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu nodded and said yes, then stepped forward and walked into the hall.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, she continued to ask:

"Regarding the rumors about Hanyuan Forest, that medical practitioner is you?"

"nice."

"In the past, those who went missing in the Frost Abyss Forest all died in trials?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"The test of the Mysterious Gate varies from person to person. Most of the cultivators who came here in the past experienced illusions. They eventually chose to stay in the illusion forever. It was they themselves who killed them."

"So what I encountered before..."

"You have gone through three tests at Wuji Academy, and your heart is firm. Therefore, when you entered the Xuanguan test, there was no illusion triggered, and you only had two martial arts competitions."

Su Qingwu was very surprised to hear this.

"Senior, do you know about my experience at Wuji Academy?"

The old man looked at her deeply and said meaningfully:

"Nothing in the Moonlight Realm can be hidden from me."

Su Qingwu frowned slightly.

Her intuition told her that the other party was not lying.

But what kind of existence can know everything that happens in a world clearly?

Although she had never seen a cultivator at a higher level, in her imagination, no matter how powerful a person was, he would not be able to know all the things in the universe.

This sounds too incredible.

Thinking of this, another guess suddenly popped up in her mind.

"You...are not a human?"

The old man nodded and added: "To be precise, they cannot be considered living beings."

"What?"

Su Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then thought of a possibility.

"Yuehua Realm...the incarnation of Heaven?"

Seeing a smile on the old man's face, she knew that she had guessed right and was shocked and speechless for a moment.

After a while, she suppressed her surprise and asked quietly:

"How should I address you?"

The old man smiled and said, "Just continue to address me as before. I came here today to tell you something. Before I tell you anything, you can ask me anything you want to know."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully:

"Excuse me, Senior, what is the meaning of this Xuanguan Trial?"

"It has no special meaning. If you must ask for a reason, it is because it has the effect of improving your state of mind. However, for someone like you who has completed several tests and whose Tao heart is almost perfect, it has no effect. After entering, you can only fight."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu suddenly fell silent.

After a while, she went on to ask another question.

"Why did you sell the Tongxuan Xixi Jue to me in Suiyuanzhai? The value of that technique is far more than 128 spirit stones."

"It's simple. This is for you."

"So... the reason why I was able to obtain the Qiankun Bottle was also because of your deliberate efforts, senior?"

"That's not the case. It's your own fate that the Qiankun Bottle recognized you as its master. I have no power to interfere in this matter."

Su Qingwu still had doubts in her heart, so she continued to ask:

"Why would you help me, senior?"

The way of heaven in this world is mysterious and unpredictable.

In his eyes, all living beings are equal, and it is impossible for him to help a particular monk without any reason.

The old man did not answer directly, but raised a question.

"Do you know the origin of the great world and the small world?"

Su Qingwu shook his head subconsciously, "I never knew about this before."

The old man continued:

"Everything in the world originates from chaos, and the great world and the small world are no exception. The foundation that supports the existence of a world is the origin of the world, also known as the core of the world.

Taking the Moonlight Realm as an example, when its original power becomes strong enough, this realm will be upgraded to a higher level, its laws will be perfected, and it will become a vast world.

On the contrary, if the power of origin weakens to a certain extent, the world will gradually go to destruction."

At this point, a hint of disappointment flashed across the old man's eyes.

"The power of the Moonlight Realm...is declining year by year. If it continues like this, this realm will cease to exist in about 100,000 years."
