Chapter 565 Success

A few days later.

attic.

A silver-haired man came.

It is the North Ice Plain and the only remaining Nine-Star Life Lamp Master among the seven countries in the world.

The aroma of tea fills the air.

The two sat opposite each other.

The silver-haired man drank it all in one gulp and said softly, "Since Yun Country can become a hegemonic country, I guessed that there might be a long-life lamp talent born. I didn't expect Brother Shen to break through the barrier so quickly and achieve the ninth star. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing."

Shen Ping smiled and poured another cup of tea for the silver-haired man. "I'd like to hear more about it."

The silver-haired man said leisurely, "Every thousand years, a Nine-Star Life Lamp Master will appear in the seven countries of the world. Over the endless years, the number of Nine-Star Life Lamp Masters accumulated is nearly a hundred. Nine-Star Life Lamp Masters have a long lifespan and are powerful, and it is extremely difficult for them to die. But now there is only one left, and now there is one more, and more than a hundred years ago, there were two."

Shen Ping's expression remained unchanged.

Continue listening.

"When you reach the Nine Stars, Brother Shen should understand that all living beings in the world have a predetermined number. When they are born, their future is determined. The same is true for you and me, Nine Star Fate Lamp Masters. Although our lifespans are long, if we continue to live, when our numbers increase, it will cause a huge burden on the world. Therefore, it is difficult for Nine Star Fate Lamp Masters to live more than a thousand years after they are born."

The silver-haired man looked at Shen Ping and said, "A thousand years is the limit for a Nine-Star Life Lamp Master. No matter what means he has, after a thousand years, even if the Valley of Darkness does not exist, he will perish in various inexplicable and ingenious ways."

Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. He was not aware of this. He originally thought that everything was pushed by the people from the Valley of Darkness. He did not expect that in the end it was actually the fate of this world.

The silver-haired man stood up and sighed, "The heaven and earth have endowed the Nine-Star Life Lamp Masters with unparalleled strength, but they cannot tolerate their survival in the world, and only give them a brief peak, like a flash in the pan."

“So when facing the man from the Valley of Darkness, no matter the previous Nine-Star Life Lamp Masters or me, we had no intention of resisting. Rather than being forced by heaven and earth using various means, it is better to die peacefully at the hands of someone of the same level, and die quickly and painfully.”

"I came here today, not only to tell you these, but also to see what's so special about someone who was promoted to Nine Stars so quickly."

Shen Ping couldn't help but ask curiously, "If I don't die at the hands of the one in the Valley of Darkness, what will the heaven and earth do after a thousand years?"

"We, the Nine Stars, are closely connected to the world. If we push too hard, won't the world be afraid that we will exterminate all living beings?"

The silver-haired man shook his head. "In the past, there was someone who went crazy and slaughtered more than a million ordinary people, but the nine life lamps in his body suddenly exploded and he died from the backlash. And in the future, as long as a life lamp master slaughters more than 100,000 people, the life lamps in his body will become violent."

Shen Ping suddenly realized.

I see.

No wonder every powerful life lamp master would not easily directly participate in the war between countries, but would push and guide it from behind.

"If Heaven lets you die, it will be too easy. Although we Nine Stars are powerful, we all started from Heaven and Earth!"

"In another hundred years, my time will come. I will go to the Valley of Darkness myself then. This is why I have lived until now. Those who are unwilling to do so will live even shorter lives."

The silver-haired man said this and left.

Look at his back.

Shen Ping was speechless.

It was very strange at first, why there was only one Nine Star left among the seven countries in the world? Even if the one in the Valley of Darkness was the final destination of every Nine Star, it was impossible that every Nine Star would fail in the struggle. Even so, if the Nine Star Life Lamp Masters united, they should have the upper hand.

It seems now.

It's not that we can't win, but that there's no point.

Even if you win.

When the thousand-year deadline comes, you still have to die.

pity.

He is not one of those nine-star destiny lamp masters, and he does not need a thousand years. As long as his power of destiny reaches 10%, he will leave this world directly.

"What matters most to me is destiny."

"As for what the person in the Valley of Darkness wants, it has nothing to do with me."

Think of this.

Shen Ping continued to work hard.

As long as the other party doesn't provoke him, he won't take the initiative to cause trouble for the other party.

In a blink of an eye.

Another hundred years passed.

Only 0.2% is left to master his destiny, and he estimates that he can do it within 50 years.

Looking at the tired Yang Yi'e.

Shen Ping held her in his arms and loved her dearly. His wife had indeed suffered a lot over the years, but there was nothing he could do. Even if he had to grind an iron rod into a needle, he could not stop.

boom.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a huge invisible energy appeared between heaven and earth.

He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked towards the Valley of Darkness, only to see that the aura of the Nine-Star Life Lamp Master from the Northern Ice Plains had dissipated.

And almost at the same time.

There is another baby with the gift of the longevity lamp in the seven countries of the world.

A few days later.

A strange man came to the attic again.

He carried with him several scrolls of bamboo slips.

It’s the one from the Valley of Darkness.

Shen Ping could clearly sense that the other person possessed energy far exceeding that of a nine-star life lamp master, but there were indeed only nine life lamps in his body.

"A hundred years ago, I wanted to find you, but then I changed my mind."

Sitting at the tea table.

The man said with a smile.

Shen Ping said, "Why did you change your mind?"

“You are the variable.”

"If I really look for you when you break through to the Nine Stars, I'm afraid I might be the loser in the end, so I'm waiting."

"So, you are now completely sure?"

"No."

"Then why did you come here?"

The bookish man shook his head and smiled, "Because I have a hunch that you might leave, leave this world."

Shen Ping was shocked. He didn't expect that the intuition of this guy in front of him was so accurate. He was afraid that he had a grasp of fate.

Seeing that Shen Ping didn't say anything, the bookish man smiled a little more, "There is an ancient legend in this world that if you collect ninety-nine long-life lamp souls, you can break through the shackles of the nine stars and transcend the world. So since I knew this legend, I have been collecting ninety-nine long-life lamp souls, and now I am very close."

When Shen Ping heard this, he said without hesitation, "You have been deceived."

The bookish man was not angry, and smiled and said, "Why are you so sure?"

Without waiting for Shen Ping to answer.

The bookish man continued, "In fact, I know that this legend is probably false. The world is just using me to clean up those immortal life lamp masters so that the world can always maintain balance. Even if I am not there, there will be others."

"But that is transcendence. Even if I am like an ant trying to shake a tree, I still want to see the scenery above the world. So I came. Even though I know there is no guarantee, I still came. If I don't come again, I may never have this opportunity again."

The words fell.

The surrounding attics disappeared.

The entire Lingzhou city also completely disappeared.

Endless darkness enveloped the two of them, with only the tea table still having light.

Shen Ping looked up at the sky.

There seemed to be eyes looking down there.

The bookish man sitting opposite did not act in a hurry, but leisurely lit an oil lamp on the tea table.

As the candlelight lit up.

Behind the bookish man, a bunch of longevity lamps appeared, and the densely packed appearance was extremely creepy.

Shen Ping glanced at it and then asked, "Each longevity lamp represents a nine-star life lamp master. However, after each nine-star life lamp master dies, there will be one more person with a longevity lamp in the seven countries of the world. You should know this."

"Know."

"If that's the case, then are there many of these long-lived lamp spirits that are the same person?"

The bookish man was stunned.

He looked at Shen Ping and saw that he was very serious. He couldn't help but fall into thought, and then slowly said: "When a person dies, it's like a lamp goes out. No matter if they are the same person in the next life, their lamp soul has changed and they are no longer the same person."

Shen Ping smiled and shook his head. He looked at the long-lived lamp souls behind the bookish man. As a powerful person at the level of Immortal King, his true soul power was so strong. Although each of these lamp souls was different, the foundation of their soul power was similar.

Or rather.

Many of them seem to be of the same origin.

“You can’t transcend.”

"Because you are only a person of this world after all."

When the book man said that.

He knew that the other party could not transcend, and was limited by his cognition, concepts, and understanding. Even if the other party mastered a trace of the power of destiny, it would be difficult for him to break free from the influence of the world and see the essence of everything.

The bookish man seemed to have realized something and smiled helplessly, "Maybe, but today, I still want to fight hard!"

Boom! At this point.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He then took action boldly.

In an instant, all nine life lamps in the body flew out, and then rotated around like the sun. The large number of lamp souls behind him provided a constant supply of energy, causing the energy of these nine life lamps to rise rapidly.

If it were any other Nine-Star Life Lamp Master, they would have been able to resist with all their might at this moment. After all, the scholarly man, who was blessed with a large number of lamp spirits, was extremely powerful. If the Nine-Star Life Lamp Master represented the fortune and destiny of a country, then the scholarly man was equivalent to seven countries.

And as soon as it comes up.

He used all his strength.

But Shen Ping only threw out one punch. His fist was surrounded by life lamps. There seemed to be light patterns on each life lamp, which were constantly superimposed on each other, and each circle of light patterns represented a great way of heaven and earth.

Driven by the core destiny light pattern, these great ways of heaven and earth rotate steadily and balanced.

Bang! With just one punch, the nine life lamps blessed by the book man with a large number of lamp souls were shattered.

It's like an egg hitting a stone.

Crash.

As the life lamp shattered.

All the lamp souls dissipated in an instant.

The darkness around us receded.

It’s that attic again.

It’s still the same tea table.

There was a chorus of frog sounds coming from the pond in the attic.

The bookish man looked at Shen Ping and said, "The moves you just performed were not from this world."

Shen Ping nodded, "Yes, so you lost."

"It's not unfair to lose."

"Before I die, I can see something beyond the world, so my life is not in vain... Now I understand what the book says, if I can hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening."

The bookish man did not show any sign of decadence, but instead smiled brightly, "Brother Shen, may I ask a favor of you before I die?"

"Go ahead."

"The Valley of Darkness is the darkest and most evil place in the world. Without the suppression of the Light Spirit, the resentful spirits that have been nourished will surge out unscrupulously. After countless years of accumulation, their numbers are terrifying. If I die, they will be free of any restraints and will be able to destroy the seven kingdoms in an instant."

"This is the fate of heaven and earth. Death is life."

"The world is ruthless, but you and I are not the world after all, so I still ask Brother Shen for help."

The bookish man stood up and bowed.

Shen Ping was silent for a moment, "Okay."

The bookish man then turned and left.

But before he walked out of the mansion gate, his body dissipated bit by bit.

At this time.

Yang Yi'e came over and prepared to refill the tea, "Hey, where is that scholar?"

"He's busy with his own things."

"Clothes moth, don't cook for me tonight. I have to go out for something."

"OK."

…

Valley of Darkness.

Shen Ping's figure quietly gathered.

At this moment, more and more vengeful spirits crawled out from the dark abyss, and there were signs that they were gradually losing control. Seeing this scene, he raised his hand and punched out a few times.

A large number of light patterns instantly burned these evil spirits into ashes.

But the resentful spirits are endless.

"I didn't expect the clown to be me!"

He was speechless.

This scholar really found a good job for him.

Wow.

The lamp soul in the body surged out and floated directly above the dark abyss. The nine stars connected into a line, condensing into a life lamp formation to suppress those resentful spirits.

Do all this.

He walked into the cave not far away.

There are oil lamps and some simple daily utensils inside.

It seems that one can vaguely see the scene of the scholar reading while turning on the oil lamp.

"As expected of a scholar, you can endure loneliness."

"But I can't bear it... I can't suffer anymore. I have to do something."

Think about it.

Shen Ping began to carve words inside the cave.

According to legend, at the beginning of the founding of the Yun Kingdom, a scholar went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. He met a wounded fox in the wilderness and kindly treated the fox... The fox transformed into a woman, who was extremely beautiful, with a graceful figure and a face like a fairy. In order to repay the fox for saving her life, she pledged herself to the fox and they had fun together every night.

The next day.

He brought Yang Yi'e to experience life in the caves.

See the lettering.

Yang Yi'e couldn't help but start reading. When he read about the nightly revelry, he couldn't help but blush and grit his teeth to continue the story. The scholar was immersed in beauty and didn't know the days and months. Suddenly one day, his wife came to him in a dream. He woke up with a start. He said goodbye to the land of gentleness and set out on the road to take the exam again...

Shen Ping stood at the back and said with a smile, "This scholar's life is just a dream. Rather than being rich and noble, it is better to be romantic and happy."

Yang Yi'e snorted, "Books can bring you a beautiful woman, books can bring you a golden house. If you read the books of sages, you will seek a successful career. The fragrance of a beautiful woman will only dampen your ambition."

Shen Ping laughed, "The clothes moth is right. Let me take care of the things that wear people down."

As he said this, he suddenly hugged his wife.

In this engraving, the essence of illustration is practiced.

Time passes slowly.

Another fifty years passed.

After continuous hard work, the destiny progress shown in the virtual box finally reached one percent. Although it was still a long way from ten percent, with the understanding of one percent, he had a ninety percent chance of smelting the other great ways of heaven and earth.

Look at the virtual box.

Shen Ping did not try virtual smelting as he had done before, but directly used the virtual frame to melt the great ways of heaven and earth such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth into the Hundong Great Way of Heaven and Earth.

As the virtual frame vibrates.

Several months have passed.

The data displayed by the Hundong Heaven and Earth Avenue finally changed.
