The only regret for Liu Wuxie was that no matter how much cursed energy he absorbed, he could not open up a cursed world.
"It seems that you need to refine the cursed stone."
Liu Wuxie said secretly.
If you can successfully refine the cursed stone, you can use the cursed stone to break through to the eighth level of Lingxuan.
To ordinary people, the cursed stone is poison.
For Liu Wuxie, everything in the world is a treasure. There is nothing that cannot be swallowed, nothing that cannot be transformed, and nothing that cannot be refined.
The climb was very fast. It only took an hour for the two of them to quickly stand on the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, a huge pit appeared.
And inside the deep pit, there lay quietly a cursed stone about the size of a house.
"What a big cursed stone. It's much bigger than I thought."
Liu Wuxie had read about the cursed stone in ancient books, and it seemed that the largest one was the size of a washbasin.
Such a large cursed stone has never appeared before.
The two people quickly approached, and the power of the billowing curse poured into their bodies. If anyone else had come, they would have died long ago.
The power of the curse can take away their lives instantly.
Liu Wuxie seemed to understand why those people from the Eastern Region all lived in Shibafeng City.
Because it is far away from Guitou Mountain, the cursed energy is much thinner than here, so it does not have a great impact on humans.
The crater is not very big, about three meters deep, and most of the cursed stone is exposed. After years of wind and rain, the surface has begun to peel off.
The two began to walk around the cursed stone.
"Brother Liu, look here quickly!"
Tian Wancang suddenly let out an exclamation.
Liu Wuxie quickly approached and found a person sitting in front of the cursed stone.
"Barefoot Old Man!"
The two looked at each other with dull expressions on their faces.
Isn't the Barefoot Old Man in the Dark Canyon? Liu Wuxie saw him entering the stone house with his own eyes, so how could he appear here?
"He's not a barefoot old man."
Liu Wuxie took a closer look and found that apart from the fact that he looked exactly the same as the barefoot old man, his temperament seemed to be somewhat different from the barefoot old man.
The old man had his back to the cursed stone, his eyes closed tightly, and his appearance was lifelike. He didn't know how many years he had been sitting there.
"Juniors Liu Wuxie and Tian Wucang would like to pay their respects to our seniors."
The two of them saluted together, no matter who the other person was, whether they were alive or dead, they still said hello politely.
"sit down!"
Suddenly, the old man sitting in front of them suddenly spoke and motioned for the two of them to sit down and talk.
The two took a step back and then looked at each other.
"Who is the senior, why are you sitting here, and what is your relationship with the barefoot old man?"
There was a short circuit in Liu Wuxie's brain. It was impossible for the barefoot old man not to know that there was another person sitting here, and he looked exactly like him.
Why didn't you tell him when you left?
"You will understand soon!"
The old man slowly opened his eyes.
The moment it opened, the surrounding world began to change, the mountain peaks disappeared, and even the cursed stone behind it disappeared with it.
Countless stars rose, and Liu Wuxie was placed above the stars. Apart from him, there was also the old man in front of him.
Tian Wucang disappeared, and Liu Wuxie called out several times, but no one answered him.
Below is endless darkness, above is the sky full of stars.
You can see as far as the eye can see, like a vast universe.
A great sun rose, illuminating the entire starry sky.
When the moon sets and the moon rises, the moonlight is like a lamp, lighting up the entire universe.
The universe is vast, and no one knows where the end of the universe is. Countless ancestors spent their entire lives unable to find the end, and finally died of exhaustion in the universe.
"What do you see?"
The mysterious old man suddenly asked.
"Stars, sun and moon!"
Liu Wuxie said truthfully, the sky was filled with stars and the sun was rising and the moon was setting.
"anything else?"
The mysterious old man continued to ask.
It's like answering a question, not a question or answer, but a slow process of exploration. Not everything has an answer.
Often the answer is right in front of you, but everyone sees it from a different angle.
"Darkness, light."
Liu Wuxie pondered for a moment and continued to say two things: when darkness falls, light rises.
"Besides the sun, moon, stars, darkness and light, what else do you perceive?"
The mysterious old man was like a guide, guiding Liu Wuxie to find the answer he wanted.
"Death, rebirth."
After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, his whole body was shocked, as if he was electrocuted. The sun, moon and stars correspond to light and darkness, and darkness corresponds to death, while light means rebirth.
"A boy can be taught!"
The mysterious old man showed a smile of relief and admiration on his face, but Liu Wuxie still didn't know what this had to do with him.
Liu Wuxie has indeed experienced death and rebirth. Could it be that...
"Senior, show me these, what do you mean?"
Liu Wuxie took a deep breath to calm down the shock in her heart, and asked the mysterious old man.
"The top of the sky burial, the person chosen by the earth!"
The mysterious old man's eyes fell on Liu Wuxie's face and he suddenly said eight words.
Liu Wuxie was shocked and thought, isn't this the chosen one?
"Senior, what do you mean, I experienced rebirth and became the chosen one?"
Liu Wuxie was stunned, what happened.
The barefoot old man told him that if he removed the cursed stone, he would tell him the secret of the chosen one.
But he did not remove the cursed stone.
"Wrong, it was the chosen one who made you reborn."
The mysterious old man shook his head, completely contrary to Liu Wuxie's thoughts.
Liu Wuxie fell into deep thought, and the mysterious old man did not disturb him.
The surrounding stars continued to change. The two of them were sitting on the stars. The huge stars were as big as a tiny fist at this moment.
Time passed unconsciously, and Liu Wuxie didn't know how much time had passed before he suddenly opened his eyes, looking like he suddenly realized something.
"Thank you, senior, for clarifying my doubts!"
Standing up, Liu Wuxie bowed and saluted. It seemed that he already had the answer in his heart.
"I'm just a guide. You can find the answer you want because of your own ability. You are worthy of being the chosen one, and your intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary people."
The mysterious old man shook his head. What he was doing was to find a direction for Liu Wuxie. Let him follow this direction to search, and maybe he would be able to find the answer.
To be continued...
