The smoke and rain dissipated, and the light suddenly came.
The world in front of Lin Xiu suddenly changed, revealing stone steps leading to higher places.
Without even thinking about it, he strode up directly, and climbed about fifty more stone steps. The stone steps began to emit faint blue light, and bursts of coercion began to envelope Lin Xiu.
In the end, Lin Xiu was forced to stop, and the stone steps he was on happened to be the 333rd step.
A deafening voice came from the stone steps: "Mountain trespasser, the world is not benevolent and treats all things as dogs. If the world bullies you and humiliates you, what should you do?"
Lin Xiu didn't think about it, so he said directly: "The world is not benevolent, so I will persuade people to do good, and the world will bully me and humiliate me, and I will pay back ten times."
After speaking, the world fell into silence again, and there was no sound for a long time. Lin Xiu didn't know whether his answer satisfied the unknown existence, but he knew very well in his heart that this was the way he wanted to go.
It is fair and honest, this is something that no one can change, but if someone dares to bully him, he will definitely repay him in every possible way. Of course, if he has enough strength, I believe no one will dare to bully him superior.
After this question and answer, Lin Xiu only felt that his thoughts were extremely clear, and he also had a general idea of the road to take in the future, nothing more than to continue to be strong.
Lord Fenghuo once said to him, if the whole world harbors malice towards him, just bear it for now, and wait until he has enough strength to change everything, and then return all the suffering he has experienced before to this world.
People don't attack me, I don't attack people, if people attack me, punch me!
Unknowingly, the color of the stone steps began to become a little bright yellow, which shone warmly on the person.
Lin Xiu, who was shrouded in this light, only felt that the injury he suffered from casting Fengguo Wuhen was rapidly improving, and even his Yuanli became more and more full again.
After the time of one stick of incense passed, his injuries had already healed in sevens and eighties, and his Yuan Li had even recovered to its peak, and he even faintly improved.
After sighing secretly about the magic of this place, Lin Xiu looked at the end of the stone steps with firm eyes. He suddenly wanted to see the scenery on the top of the mountain, not for treasures, but just to take a look.
After adjusting his breathing rhythm, Lin Xiu continued to walk firmly under the bright yellow light, like a young god.
As time passed, the stone steps seemed to have no end forever, and Lin Xiu kept walking unswervingly like this.
After an unknown amount of time, a chessboard suddenly appeared in front of him. The two players on both sides of the chessboard looked ordinary. One was an old man in a white robe with snow-white beard and hair, while the other was an old man in a white robe. It was pitch black, and his face was covered by a cloud of black mist, making it hard to see clearly.
Both of them ignored Lin Xiu who came suddenly, but were thinking hard about the situation on the chessboard.
Lin Xiu walked aimlessly on the stone steps. He had lost the concept of time for a long time, but he was walking alone on this road. When he first saw two strange old people playing chess here, he was inevitably curious, so he let go of himself. Standing quietly behind the old man in white robe, he watched the chess without saying a word.
"Jiuyou, why bother to be persistent, is it really so difficult to admit defeat?" The white-robed old man finally broke the tranquility of the chess game, and couldn't help but said while looking at the black-robed man opposite him.
With a cold snort, the voice of the man in black seemed to come from the nine layers of the nether world, making Lin Xiu feel chills all over his body: "Old man, why do you ask questions knowingly? My Nether Palace has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, during which time geniuses overflowed It took us so long to get a chance of a breakthrough, so how can we give in?"
Hearing this, the white-robed old man couldn't stop shaking his hands, and he rose to the sky with a shocking aura. He shouted at the black-robed Jiuyou: "It's ridiculous, at the price of the lives and deaths of countless people in the Immortal Martial Continent, in exchange for With a slight chance of a breakthrough, what is the difference between your behavior and the way of the devil?"
"Hey, old man, my Nether Palace is originally a demon way, so what can you do to me?" Jiuyou didn't care, and said with a strange smile.
"Presumptuous, since that's the case, let's use this chess game to determine life and death, and bet on the lives of the two of us, and don't involve the lives of our disciples." After the old man said this, he waved his sleeves, and the chessboard on the stone table suddenly The light burst forth, and a powerful attraction came from it, pulling them both into it.
Lin Xiu, who was standing by the side, looked at the empty front, and couldn't help being stunned. The stone steps are too strange, and the supernatural power of the old man just now is really unbelievable. He can actually send people into the chessboard for a duel. life and death? It's just that for some reason, Lin Xiu, who also belongs to the surrounding chessboard, was not involved.
From their words, Lin Xiu also learned that the black-robed Jiuyou must be the owner of the Nether Palace here. In order to achieve a goal, he wanted to bury all the living beings in the mainland, and the white-robed old man wanted to avoid the loss of life. With supernatural powers, a game of life and death chess is constructed, and the fate of the world is determined by the life and death of the two.
But is this really what happened just now? Lin Xiu couldn't believe it, because the scene just now was too unbelievable.
At this moment, the majestic voice that just appeared resounded in Lin Xiu's ears again: "Don't doubt, this is indeed what happened, but it was a thousand years ago. What you see is just what the years left It's just a projection."
"Then what's the final result? Who won?" Lin Xiu said.
"Now that you are still alive, it is natural that the white-robed old man won. Back then, the old man tried his best to turn his whole body into a chessboard, and finally sealed Jiuyou Town in the chessboard, but the old man also died because of this. It's a pity that Jiuyou's strength is really too strong, his spirit body tried its best a hundred years ago, but still escaped." The majestic voice sounded again.
"Isn't this the inheritance of the Nether Palace? Why do I feel that you are facing the old man? Who are you?" Lin Xiu felt something was wrong.
"It was indeed a place of inheritance of the Nether Palace back then. In order to avoid the sight of other sects, Jiuyou came here secretly in order to break through. But the old man still found him, and then the two had a life-and-death game Chess. Although the old man successfully suppressed Jiuyou, Mo Dao has always been a cunning and cunning person. He was worried that Jiuyou would have some means to escape, so he also left behind his own back."
"What backhand?"
"Although this place is the inheritance place of the Nether Palace, this level has been quietly changed by the old man, except that when you just stepped in, it was the normal Nether Palace method, and the sword rain and the sea of fire later were left by the old man." The next step."
"Little guy, listen, now Jiuyou should have returned to the Nether Palace. He must be recovering his strength in the past hundred years. I have a hunch that although he had no time to observe the changes here when he escaped, but wait When he recovers, he will definitely come back to investigate, and this day is coming soon."
Speaking of this, the magnificent voice fell silent again. After waiting for a long time, he said again: "The Nether Palace is the most evil force on the mainland. With your current strength, you will not be able to pass the final stage, and you may even die." I believe you don’t want to see the future life in the mainland be wiped out. Go on, and when you reach the end of the stone steps, I will send you a fortune that is not inferior to the Nether Palace. Of course, since the old man left behind in this level For my backhand, the test of this level will be completely different from the previous level, which is roughly equivalent to the level that you have to break through the eighth level of the Nether Palace, little guy, work hard to move forward!"
