"Is it a fairy fate?" Yang Di was in a daze, and then said resolutely: "I decided that in these mysterious areas at the beginning, I would only use two pieces of fairy flowers in each place at most. The worst is to go back again!"
"Well, that's very good. You have to plan for a rainy day in everything." Yi Qilu said with great relief. It's really rare for this brat to learn to be patient so quickly.
In the face of temptation like the one just now, Yang Di did not intend to use all four fairy flowers here, which was not something ordinary people could do.
"In that case, before going through the barrier, I want to take a look at the last street and broaden my horizons." Yang Di said eagerly. In fact, he had that impulse just now.
"For you, it is really meaningful to gain more knowledge!" The ancestor of Yiqilu agreed, but also warned: "However, you must not go through that level. Even the ancestors do not agree with you trying the last step.
Two or three streets!”
"I understand." Yang Di nodded solemnly. This time, the situation was no small matter, and Yang Di also knew the concerns of his ancestors.
After all, there is no luck in this kind of life-and-death challenge. If you choose a path that is beyond your ability, it is equivalent to choosing to go to hell.
Yang Di is sober now and doesn't feel confident that he has the confidence to clear the last street.
Immediately, with a nervous mood, Yang Di crossed the fork in the road facing the fifteen skulls and walked deeper.
Although he just went to take a look, Yang Di was still in a serious mood because when he came in, his whole body was about to freeze.
That was not a cold air, but an icy chilling air!
"How terrible!"
Yang Di trembled, feeling more and more that this place was not simple.
However, what confused him extremely was that when he approached the first life-and-death line of the street, he actually saw a dregs figure in front of him.
It was an old man, leaning against the corner, with a sad expression, dull eyes, and a lifeless look. When he saw Yang Di appear, he suddenly raised his head. There was a trace of life in his old eyes, which was both unexpected and somewhat complicated.
"What?" Yang Di couldn't help but stumble back as if he was struck by lightning, and his face suddenly turned pale.
According to previous experience, the battle target would appear in front of him only after he had crossed the line of life and death. But now, Yang Di had no intention of breaking through this road, and he actually saw the target.
Could it be that he was careless and went too far?
When he thought of this, Yang Di had the urge to die, turned around and ran away, unable to accept this fact.
But what was extremely strange was that he actually ran back to the fork in the road, seemingly unblocked by that mysterious power.
"Could it be that the will in the dark knew that I was unintentional and gave me a chance..." Yang Di stood at the fork in the road in confusion and muttered to himself.
"No, it seems you didn't cross the red line just now." The ancestor of Yiqilun also said in shock.
The situation just now shocked even our ancestors into cold sweats. There was nothing we could do, this place was too scary. The little old man had high hopes for Yang Di, but he didn't want him to die young and die here.
After calming down, Yang Di also nodded. He was extremely careful just now and stared at the ground. How could he have gone too far?
There must be something wrong somewhere.
Thinking secretly, Yang Di became furious and decided to go in again to find out the situation.
This time he was even more careful, as if he was afraid of stepping on ants. He stared at the bluestone floor carefully, and even lit a bunch of fires, for fear of not having enough eyesight.
But when approaching the red line, the figure of the old man inside was still leaning there, which surprised Yang Di.
"Little baby, don't come forward again, lest you regret it. This street is like a hell on earth. Unless you are a born god with an eternally stunning appearance, otherwise it is really a road of no return to death..."
At this moment, the old man leaning against the wall in front of him actually spoke, his voice hoarse and a bit sad and helpless.
"This..." Yang Di was so shocked that he couldn't believe his ears and whispered softly: "Senior, are you talking to me?"
"Is there anyone else here..." the old man sighed.
Yang Di's eyelids trembled, and he quickly asked: "Is the senior a stranger, or is he a fighting monster here?"
"I am a human being..." the old man said sadly, "but I am a dead person. I have reached a dead end and there is no way out in this life!"
Yang Di gasped, a little confused, but after careful investigation, he was surprised to find that it was really not a fighting monster.
Moreover, this old man clearly has a trace of immortality in him, which makes it even more difficult for Yang Di to understand that this old man turned out to be a leader in the past.
Combined with what the old man said before, this becomes even more weird. The old man seemed to be preventing him from passing by just now. This should not be a behavior of fighting monsters.
Those monsters are very murderous and cold, like a strangulation machine. If you don't kill them, they will kill you!
"Which era is the leader of the senior generation?" Yang Di asked in a low voice.
"Which era..." The old man was a little confused, "It's been a long time. I remember that we were the first outsiders to come here after the end of the world."
"Si!" Yang Di almost choked. Doesn't it mean that the leader who came here first means that this old man is the first generation leader? Doesn't it mean that he is an old immortal who has lived for more than five thousand years?
Soon, Yang Di became more and more palpitating, because he felt that the old man's breath was somewhat familiar, as if he had sensed it in the secret room of the ancient palace at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain.
Then Yang Di further investigated, and finally discovered with great shock that this was indeed an old man who had lived for thousands of years, the former leader of the first generation.
Moreover, if Yang Di remembers correctly, among the fifty-seven leaders of the Broken Xuan Realm, the first generation of Broken Xuan Realm leaders was one of the only ones in the past who successfully jumped over the Dragon Gate and opened the body's secret treasure.
"It turns out to be a senior." Yang Di was immediately in awe, but more confused. It was already a miracle that the first generation leader of the past was not dead yet. What was even more incredible was that the first generation leader of the Xuanxuan Realm was actually here.
This is a dazzling genius from the past. Being able to win the championship shows how impressive he is. Taking that step and opening up the secrets in his body shows how amazing he is.
But why does he stay here? Or...he just happened to come here.
"I am a person who has reached the end of his road. Don't be surprised, little kid." The old man sighed, his eyes filled with vicissitudes of life.
"I hope senior will explain it in detail." Yang Di said, cupping his fists.
"There's nothing worth saying. In the past, I came from the outside world with great ambitions. I followed the instructions to find this place and chose this level of challenge." The old man sighed very briefly.
"Then what?"
"Then...I will be trapped here forever, neither alive nor dead..."
"This..." Yang Di's eyes almost popped out of his head, and then he asked in a low voice: "Then why doesn't Senior move forward and continue to break through the barrier?"
If the old man really chose this street, after crossing the line between life and death, he would indeed be unable to look back. Only by clearing the level can he obtain good fortune and leave.
"Because I am attached to living, because I have no courage, because I have lost the confidence to go on..." the old man said extremely calmly, but there was sadness and desolation in his words.
Yang Di was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't bear the slightest ridicule in his heart, so he couldn't help but ask: "Then the senior must have defeated five monsters in the life-and-death line area, right?"
A closer look revealed that the old man was not behind the first line of life and death, to be precise, he was behind the fifth line of life and death, sitting lonely on the ground with his back against the wall of the building there.
"I was lucky enough to fight to the end, but after a few battles, I was completely in despair. I didn't have the courage to take another step forward, because I knew that if I took another step, my soul would return to hell..." the old man said with a gloomy expression.
Yang Di was silent again. He could fully imagine the difficulty and ferocity of those battles at that time. Although the former leader of the first generation of Xuanxuan Realm tried his best to persist for five battles, he also lost confidence because of this.
It is estimated that in the battle behind the fifth line of life and death, he had already narrowly escaped death. Because he saw no hope, he did not dare to move forward.
Wanting to live is an instinct, no need to laugh at it.
At the very least, Yang Di doesn't have the courage to take this path now because he doesn't want to die yet. This is not shameful, it's just self-awareness.
And this former amazing genius may have regretted his reckless choice at that moment. Unfortunately, this road can only lead to life and death, and there is no turning back.
Now that the old man said that he was standing at the end of the road, neither alive nor dead, Yang Di suddenly felt that it was really appropriate.
But it is more of a kind of sympathy. A person has been trapped there for thousands of years, with no hope and living in confusion. What kind of sadness is this.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Di suddenly asked in surprise: "I feel that the senior's cultivation is very advanced. I think these years have not been wasted and truly despairing. You are so powerful now, why don't you try again?"
"Haha, little baby, do you think I got here in one go?" The old man laughed dumbly, "Actually, this position is the result of more than five thousand years of aging. Isn't it a bit embarrassing?"
Yang Di was shocked, and then said quickly: "Senior, there is no need to be like this. Not many people have dared to take this road from ancient times to the present. They are not afraid of seniors' jokes. In fact, I just came here to gain experience and have not had the courage to challenge."
In the end, Yang Di felt embarrassed.
"No, little baby, you have great courage and know how to act according to your ability. For a person who has also opened up the secrets of the body and has amazing qualifications, this is very rare. He is not afraid of many life and death, but can see the problem clearly.
But there are very few. Being in the game, many talented people since ancient times have had higher aspirations than the sky." The old man sighed meaningfully.
Yang Di couldn't help but nod. Indeed, arrogance is a common problem among many geniuses. Those who are unparalleled among their peers are even more eye-catching. How can they easily give in?
"Look, little baby, the numerous bones here are all left by those who refused to admit defeat in the past!" There was a trace of life on the old man's face, and he lit up a bunch of fire, illuminating the surrounding area.
Then Yang Di was shocked to see that there were broken bones everywhere in the surrounding areas. The scene was shocking.
