Gao Han looked at the old man for a few seconds. The turbidity in the old man's eyes was not really turbidity. It seemed like a kind of recognition of the world.
"When I was walking on the Chaos Road before, I saw the situation in the fairyland. After the waterfall-like thing collapsed, the fairyland was also destroyed. What exactly was it?"
Gao Han was the first to look away. There was an unprovoked dead silence in the old man's eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if all hope had been extinguished.
"Did you see it?" A light suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes.
Gao Han nodded, "I see, is that the source of everything?"
The old man did not answer immediately. He turned around and walked a few steps, letting out a long sigh. "That is not the source of everything, but it is also considered to be the source. When you came here, I believe the elders in the sect should have told you that it has been a long time since a cultivator ascended to heaven in Lingtian Continent."
The old man's tone was almost affirmative.
"They did say that the 'waterfall'-like thing is related to the ascension of cultivators?" Gao Han guessed.
The old man still didn't say anything, but just said: "When you go out, just tell them that it is the Tianhe Pillar, and they will know what it is."
Gao Han remembered this word in his heart, "Why did Chaos Dao disappear?"
"This is the only place where you can still get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the Chaos Dao. I don't expect you to be able to comprehend it. There was also a person who came here just like you, but unfortunately he didn't comprehend it in the end."
There was endless sadness in the old man's voice, as if there would be a sad outcome in the distant future.
"I know." This is most likely a desperate hope.
"Are you going out now?" the old man asked.
"Of course I have to go out. I won't stay here forever. There are people waiting for me outside."
Gao Han was worried that if Zhongli Tingzhou couldn't find him, he would overturn the Wanxiandao. Although the Wanxiandao gave people a mysterious feeling, he had no doubt that Zhongli Tingzhou had this ability.
The old man noticed the smile and tenderness in his eyes when he mentioned someone.
"She's your partner?"
"Yes." In front of outsiders, Gao Han admitted it without hesitation.
The old man stroked his beard gently, thinking about something, "Strong people are all lonely. They are devoted to the Tao and have no worries, so they will become stronger and stronger."
"I don't think so. I want to become stronger because I have someone I want to protect." Gao Han denied the old man's statement. "My master is the top strong man in Lingtian Continent. He once had a very loving wife."
"Isn't it once?" said the old man with a smile.
Gao Han frowned, "That's different. Without him, I wouldn't have come this far. His strength is also driving me to grow faster. He himself is a very talented person."
"I have seen many people with high talents, how could they be less talented than you?" The old man had not talked to anyone like this for a long time. Even he himself had not thought that one day he would chat about such insignificant things with a junior.
Gao Han glanced at him and said, "That only shows that you are still too ignorant."
The old man: "...You are really rude, little kid. You are the first one who says that I am ignorant."
Gao Han said calmly, "There is always a first time for everything."
The old man shook his head, "How can the fairyland be compared to the Lingtian Continent?"
"You haven't seen it, so how do you know it's not as good as it?"
Gao Han usually wouldn't argue with others about such things because he found it boring, but he couldn't bear to see the other party look down on Zhongli Tingzhou.
“I haven’t seen them?” The old man laughed. “I have been guarding here for tens of thousands of years and have seen many geniuses in Lingtian Continent. The only two geniuses who impressed me deeply were those from nearly ten thousand years ago. The others…”
The old man shook his head, with a hint of unspoken disappointment in his expression.
Gao Han suddenly had an idea, "The two geniuses you mentioned, could it be that one is called Zixiao and the other is called Tiandao?"
"I think they were called these two names. It's been so long that I can't remember them clearly."
"One of them is my uncle, and the other is my master."
The old man was a little surprised, and then he sighed, "What a pity, he was born at the wrong time. If the fairy world hadn't been in trouble, he might have become a giant in the fairy world. But they are still not the most talented people I have ever seen. With your name, I guess you haven't heard of the name of Donghua Xianjun. He is the most talented fairy I have ever seen in my life. At the age of forty, he broke through the Tao and became a fairy with his own strength. Later, he became the master of Langya Fairy Mountain in the fairy world in a short period of time."
"Forty years old is indeed very young." Gao Han said lightly.
Even so, he didn't think that Zhongli Tingzhou would be much worse than the Immortal Lord Donghua.
Immortal Lord Donghua was born in Lingtian Continent. Even though he came from an ordinary family, he had better resources than Zhongli Tingzhou since childhood. If the resources that Immortal Lord Donghua had were also given to Zhongli Tingzhou, he believed that he would not have to wait until the age of forty.
"You look as if you are very unconvinced." The old man didn't expect that his seemingly calm and composed expression actually had such a stubborn character.
"I admire the Immortal Lord Donghua you mentioned."
No matter what the reason for the war of ten thousand immortals, the other side's fall must have been fighting for the human race.
He admired such a strong man from the bottom of his heart.
"Forget it." The old man shook his head helplessly. "Why would I suddenly tell you all this? It seems that I haven't talked to anyone for a long time."
"How should I comprehend the Dao of Chaos?" After chatting with the old man, Gao Han's mentality relaxed.
"You can only rely on yourself to capture the only spiritual light. Although I said that you can only leave here after you have gained enlightenment, it takes time to gain enlightenment on a path to heaven. Since... it doesn't matter. As long as you can gain enlightenment, even just a little bit, you can leave this place."
Gao Han frowned, "You make it sound easy. If the Dao of Chaos is so easy to comprehend, how could it not exist in Lingtian Continent?"
“Aren’t you dissatisfied with what I said about Lingtian Continent being inferior to the Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm? Now you can prove to me that I am wrong.” The old man smiled.
"It is difficult to create something from nothing, but it is easy to create something from something." Gao Han knew that the old man was trying to provoke him, and he had no choice now.
It seems that I have to go on this chaotic road whether I want to or not.
The old man shook his head gently, "You still think it's too simple. From having to having is actually more difficult."
"Do you really think that I can comprehend the Dao of Chaos in such a short time?"
"It's not that I think so, but you have to do it. Otherwise, even if the Wanxian Road is closed again, you can't leave here. Once you step into the Chaos Road, there is no turning back."
The old man was probably afraid that he would have the idea of retreating, so he encouraged him, "But if you can understand the formation here, you may succeed. The formation here is actually part of the Chaos Dao. It depends on whether you can comprehend it."
Gao Han looked at the old man deeply, turned and left. After saying so much, he got very little information. He might as well seize the time and continue to comprehend the formation.
Seeing that he was no longer in a hurry to destroy the formation and leave, the old man calmly returned to his state of meditation.
Let him see whether the person chosen by Chaos Dao can fulfill his expectations.
…
After Zhongli Tingzhou entered the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals, Yuan Ran and Pei Zhenghai, who had entered before him, did not appear.
This confirms Feng Xinxing's words, different house numbers will be teleported to different places.
From an open door, a strange chewing sound was heard.
The sound stopped after a few seconds, and was replaced by the sound of footsteps, which were getting closer and closer to him.
A light breeze suddenly blew, and an ugly face appeared behind the open door, less than two meters away from Zhongli Tingzhou.
Seeing him, the owner of the ugly face rushed over without hesitation. Its right hand was still holding something. There was no blood, but it made a scream.
The magic weapon of his life appeared in Zhongli Tingzhou's hand in an instant, and he chopped it down without hesitation.
The ugly creature screamed and was instantly shredded by the sword energy. When his right hand let go of the thing, it quickly escaped into the door.
"What strange creature?"
Zhongli Tingzhou was disgusted by the creature's ugly face.
“不过这些生物好像都是没有实体的，倒是和蛮荒巨兽有点像。”
就在他思考的这几秒，附近听到叫声的奇怪生物便寻着声音过来了，似游魂般呜咽的叫声，瞬间出现在走廊通道两边的尽头。
钟离庭洲转头看了一眼，被吸引过来的游魂大概有十几只。
闻到生人的气息后，这些游魂立刻像发疯一般发出嘶吼声朝他扑过来。
钟离庭洲手中的剑连斩两次，数十道剑气飞出去，正中游魂眉心。
这些剑气似蕴含着不可思议的力量，哪怕是游魂的状态，也没有逃过，一瞬间就被搅碎了。
咚地一声，他听到一个奇怪的声响。
钟离庭洲寻声望过去，被搅碎的游魂，其中一只的身体似乎掉出某样东西。
他走过去捡起这样东西，发现是一颗红色的珠子。
钟离庭洲能感觉得到，这颗红珠子里面有一股弱小的能量传出来，好像储存着某种能量。
就在这时，一道弱小的气息从走廊的尽头冒出来。
他扭头看过去，看到之前逃跑的那个游魂一瞬间缩回墙壁后的动作，不一会它又冒出头来，不知道在看什么。
虽然它没有五官，也没有正常的四肢，不像被他杀死的游魂，有着人族的外表，但他就是能感觉得到，对方是在看他手上的红珠子。
钟离庭洲试着吸收了一下，这颗红珠子里面的能量立刻被他抽走了，红珠子也化为粉末消失，能量太少了，他嫌弃的想着。
不过蚊子再小也是肉，最重要的是，他发现这种红珠子里的能量，修复阴阳珠的效果似乎更好。
如果吸收灵气或各种材料里的能量，修补阴阳珠的单位是一的话，那么吸收这种红珠子达到的效果就是二。
钟离庭洲突然朝走廊尽头那只还在偷看他的游魂看过去，目光在黑暗的空间里，泛着凌利的凶光。
游魂的身体立刻像得了羊癫疯一般颤抖起来，它感到一股杀气，对方完全有实力可以杀了它。
下一秒，正当它要落荒而逃的时候，那个人族修士又收回目光。
“弱得连塞牙缝都不够，杀了也是白费力气。”钟离庭洲嫌弃地说道。
他刚刚杀了不少游魂，但是只在一只游魂身上得到一颗红珠子，说明红珠子不是所有游魂身上都会有的。
他能感觉得到，那只拥有红珠子的游魂，实力比其他游魂稍微强一些。
而这团看不出来原形的黑漆漆游魂，比他杀的游魂还要弱小，更不可能有红珠子。
“不管你们是什么奇怪的生物，遇到爷爷算你们倒霉。”
钟离庭洲扛起本命法宝，寻宝的目标，立刻锁定在这些游魂身上，当然，找到高寒还是第一要务。
就在他准备大杀四方的时候，被传送到仙宫各个角落的人，却开始了逃亡的生存模式。
“快跑，那些游魂过来了！”一名灵修神情十分慌张地冲出房间。
紧随其后，是数十只游魂，个个张牙舞爪，看到灵修，神情癫狂，眼睛似有红光，好似失去了理智。
两名灵修慌不择路地冲进另一个房间里，发现四面都是墙壁，什么也没有。
游魂已经冲过来，他们只能把房间的门堵上。
两名灵修一脸惨白。
“怎么办，我们完蛋了，这些游魂好像不会离去。”
“为什么，这些游魂根本杀不死，这不公平！”
“难怪其他人都说万仙道很危险，之前还不以为然，我以为进入万仙碑，就能找到一些仙人留下的功法和仙器。”
没想到，他们一进入万仙碑里的仙宫，就直接与里面的游魂撞上，还死了一个人。
想到那个同伴是被几只游魂当着他们的面生生吃掉的，两人脸色又白了，喉咙里发出一声干呕。
太恶心了，也太恐怖了。
“要不，我们还是离开这里吧？”同伴提议道。
那名灵修思索片刻，“不，想要找到仙人的功法或仙器，还有修炼的宝地，万仙碑机率最高，我们不能现在就退缩。”
“可是这里的游魂根本杀不死啊！”同伴有点崩溃。
“不可能，它既然存在，肯定有杀死它的办法，只是我们没找到而已。”灵修坚定地说道。
与此同时，其他人也都遭遇了同样的情况，不是被游魂追杀，就是奋起反抗。
