Ye Tiancheng now had only one way to achieve what he wanted. He said to the large green snake beside him, "Let's go. We shouldn't waste too much time."
"Not waste too much time? It seems we have already wasted too much time!" It appeared displeased. This state was truly not good. At this moment, Ye Tiancheng was somewhat worried. After all, he often did things that made others worried and put them in difficult positions.
At this moment, he wasn't thinking much. He just wanted to execute his dream.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, Ye Tiancheng heard a huge sound echoing in the tunnel. This sound revealed a very serious problem, one that would bring a fatal threat to Ye Tiancheng.
"Wh-what is that?" Even the Divine Stone sensed the ferocity of this power. If it could eliminate this power, then everything would be much easier to handle.
But it was thinking too naively. Now... they had fallen into great trouble, infinite trouble. What would it bring?
It was hard to say, hard to explain clearly. After all, Ye Tiancheng was hardly worried about these things. The booming sound was merely the sound of a mechanism activating.
Because he knew, he didn't want to appear nervous. On the contrary, he seemed exceptionally calm, in a state of perfect ease.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng's demeanor, he laughed angrily and said, "You fellow are truly an annoying person! Knowing this, you still intend to toy with us!"
"Now is not the time to dwell on this issue. Can we handle the matter at hand?" From the Divine Stone's perspective, the current operation seemed quite difficult. It had almost understood what it was facing. It was precisely for this reason that it had fallen into such a tense atmosphere. Now, for Ye Tiancheng, it was almost enough to make him spit blood.
In this mode of combat, no one could continue fighting like this. Because in the eyes of others, Ye Tiancheng's heart already contained too much dust. This dust would affect his heart, as he appeared so arbitrary and somewhat boring.
This feeling was truly agonizing for Ye Tiancheng.
After all, for Ye Tiancheng, some things were more about wanting to become a truly powerful person. Since he wanted to become a powerful person, naturally he couldn't tell others those things secretly. Because these thoughts appeared exceptionally complex to him, his mood also changed with these complex things, to the point that he could no longer perfectly interpret those things.
The current Ye Tiancheng had already become another person.
Because he only wanted to do what he wanted to do. Although these things seemed to make people feel quite embarrassed, not everyone could achieve them through effort. For Ye Tiancheng, he had already put in a great deal of effort.
"Recalling the past, Niu Bi was a demon!"
"Yes, I am a demon, but so what? That doesn't prevent me from becoming a very capable candidate!" A hint of confidence appeared on Ye Tiancheng's face, but at the same time, he looked very lost. No one knew why Ye Tiancheng was like this, but those who could understand him had already become someone else.
It was precisely because he had become someone else that he had such thoughts.
This sudden change made Ye Tiancheng feel that danger was imminent. Although he desperately wanted to change this situation, it was currently very difficult for him to achieve this. After all, there was a fact that he could not accept: he had reached the highest realm. Because this realm was forever insurmountable for others, it firmly locked his lifeblood, making it impossible for him to face what was happening with ease and joy. Therefore, this appeared exceptionally painful for him, this exceptional pain.
It made him feel that it was almost impossible for him to turn things around.
Why did he suddenly feel so sad in his heart? Perhaps it was because he felt that he would never succeed in the future, so his heart was filled with complex emotions. It was these things that controlled his destiny, always controlling his future. Why would such a thing suddenly arise in his heart at this place? The main reason was that he could not control his emotions at all, because something had already controlled his emotions, making it impossible for him to transcend the world within this tunnel.
The world within this tunnel was different from the outside world in its construction. It could control a person's thoughts and emotions. The loud noise Ye Tiancheng had just heard did not actually exist. It was just that this world controlled all his senses and spirit, causing him to become disoriented. Therefore, he could not have heard the loud noise.
These several loud noises made him feel even more that there was an emotion within him that he could not overcome. Perhaps it was these emotions that became confused into another world, firmly controlling his spirit, making it impossible for him to transcend all of this. This made Ye Tiancheng, and outside of him, the Divine Stone, naturally feel that this world had a different structure. Because the order of the world was different, it would cause people to become disoriented. What was normal in their world was not normal here at all.
However, at least now the Divine Stone could maintain a clear consciousness. It saw everything that was happening before its eyes, but it did not say anything. After all, it was not clear what would happen, so it wanted to be an observer.
As someone who wanted to observe, naturally it was impossible to just watch everything that was impossible happening. As someone who wanted to change all of this, naturally it would not allow such a thing to appear before it. It would do its best to appear very calm, so this answer would appear at the wrong time.
"Why aren't you helping this kid? If he continues to be confused, it could cause great trouble. We are doing our best to help this guy, isn't it all for the sake of seeing such results?"
At this point, the large green snake could not stand it anymore. It complained to the Divine Stone.
"Why are you thinking so much? Everyone has their own path and destiny. If we always help this kid, he will never be able to grow. If you want him to grow, it's best to stand by and watch, letting him learn the value and strength of surviving on his own. Otherwise, with our help, he will never be able to grow into a powerful person. If he cannot grow into a powerful person, in the future world, he will be devoured alive." At this point, a look of disdain appeared on its face, which was truly annoying, but at the same time, there was helplessness. Because there were some things it simply could not do. Time would slowly extend to a very distant moment. This had already fully demonstrated this fellow's anxious and restless demeanor, making him look like someone who had escaped from a mental hospital. This state made everyone feel very disappointed in Ye Tiancheng. They also hoped that he could maintain a very natural and calm appearance, but this world had destroyed his spirit and made him delirious, preventing him from controlling his emotions.
Therefore, he became very crazy, as if he wanted to attack everyone. His appearance was terrifying. They felt that they should not let him continue like this, so the large green snake flew up and knocked Ye Tiancheng unconscious.
After this fellow fainted, he would not fall into all sorts of confusion, nor would he cause inconvenience to others. Because everyone's spirit would not be vented after fainting, this was why the large green snake took the only option it had to control Ye Tiancheng.
When this fellow woke up, it was already close to evening twilight. Of course, it was impossible to tell the time inside the cave, but they could judge what time period they were in by looking at their watches.
As time passed, everything was undergoing subtle, subtle changes, but these changes were unknown to people. The strong, unusual feeling that permeated the air made her mood even more cautious and uneasy.
When he had just fallen asleep, he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, but he didn't know it was done by the large green snake. If he had known it was done by the large green snake, the first thing he would have done was to curse the large green snake. Of course, some things, even if you desperately want to change them, sometimes you can't change them, and then you will sincerely accept everything that has happened, no matter what kind of world this world becomes, this world for you.
It has already become very unimportant, because you have gotten used to everything.
Only then did he feel that his mind was no longer confused and could see the true face of this world. Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but feel very surprised. He looked at the large green snake, wanting to get an answer from its mouth, but the large green snake shook its head and refused to answer. Seeing that the large green snake did not answer his question, Ye Tiancheng felt very distressed because he did not know what had happened here while he was sleeping.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen while I was sleeping. He couldn't help but be very surprised."
"There are many things you haven't expected. If you had truly expected them, you wouldn't have become like this." At this moment, he heard a voice mocking him. The mocking voice was unpleasant, but he had to accept this unpleasant voice. After all, sometimes, it seemed that many things could be easily obtained, but in reality, you could not obtain these things at all. Because for some people, these things were like fate's arrangement. No matter what methods you took, no matter what ways you used, you could not make these things disappear as if they had never happened.
"Perhaps sometimes you don't know why these things happen, but I can't explain it clearly either, because every world's constitution is different. To thoroughly understand this world, you truly need to open it up and understand its true order." At this time, the Divine Stone said to him.
The large green snake, hearing the Divine Stone explain this world, did not want to be outdone and immediately said to it, "Some things look like that, but they are not like that. A hundred years of life is but an empty dream. When your spirit no longer exists, when your body no longer exists, and when your soul also disappears, you will be completely disheartened by this world and will not know whether it truly exists or not. Simply put, after you die, when your soul also disappears, you will not remember anything. Everything is just an empty dream. The reason people live so miserably is because they have too many desires."
"Ah?" For the current Ye Tiancheng, he did not understand or comprehend the meaning of their words at all. After all, he was still young and had not experienced too many things. Speaking so profoundly, he completely didn't understand. Only when he reached a certain age would he truly understand and truly comprehend.
Therefore, it should be like this. He looked at the two fellows with a bewildered expression, especially the Divine Stone, which had detached itself from his body and grown an eye. When it had grown a closed mouth before, he hadn't noticed that it would change. Now, seeing it grow an eye, he knew that the Divine Stone could change and transform into human form.
"Unknowingly, this fellow has evolved again. I am truly happy. No matter what, as long as he can grow, it is a great comfort to me." A look of happiness flashed across his face. This would not change anything, no matter what. Because some things, once changed, would never return to their original state. Ye Tiancheng knew this very well, but he didn't want to dwell on anything. Because he hadn't rescued Xiao Liu Zi yet, he felt that he was missing many, many things. No matter what, he should rescue Xiao Liu Zi first.
Then they continued to argue and move forward. The air became increasingly humid, as if they had reached a swamp. Of course, this was the deepest part of the ice lake. It was filled with all sorts of dampness, which was also very correct, as it was underwater.
"Drip, drip, drip, drip." Water dripped from the ceiling of the cave entrance, hitting the ground, splashing with clear and pleasant water drop sounds.
These water drops did not make them feel relieved. On the contrary, they added a few points of eerie atmosphere. They dared not stop and hurried towards the depths of the cave. Ye Tiancheng and the others discovered that moss was growing on the cave walls.
"This is truly strange. Why is there moss on the cave walls in such a living cave entrance? Generally, where there is moss, there is more photosynthesis."
"The world at the bottom of the cave entrance might be different from the time above. We should be understanding and see what exactly is happening in this world." Ye Tiancheng did not fully believe that the large green snake and the Divine Stone could change the world below, because after the incident he had just experienced upon entering, his suspicion towards this mysterious and unfamiliar pain had only increased.
Perhaps there were too many things in this world that he did not understand. To truly understand this world, he needed to go deeper. Therefore, he did not draw conclusions, only wanting to observe carefully. Just as Ye Tiancheng was feeling confused, he suddenly saw a dazzling white light flashing before his eyes, and the entire cave entrance instantly became very bright.
When he truly understood all of this, he realized that what he had given up was justified, that he should have done so, otherwise he would have been shattered to pieces now.
"Wow, what is this white light?" At this moment, Ye Tiancheng exclaimed.
The large green snake and the Divine Stone also felt very surprised. Why did a dazzling white light suddenly appear? Besides the white light, there were other things in front of them.
Now, everyone felt exceptionally complex.
Their emotions became very bad. No matter what, it was just about surviving in the best way possible.
If they wanted to get by in this world, they had to become more intelligent and resourceful, otherwise, they would truly face a tragic end. Because he had seen too many tragic ends, he now did not want to fall into this situation again.
All of this, for him, as long as he could live honorably, that would be a true matter. So he really wanted to do this, and didn't want to do anything superfluous. It was that simple.
However, this seemingly simple matter ultimately became exceptionally complex. No matter what, they had to figure out what that white light was. But just as they were about to step forward, five or six warriors in golden armor rushed out of the white light, holding golden spears in their hands.
The one leading the group pointed his spear at Ye Tiancheng and said, "Kid... Who are you? How dare you come here? Are you seeking death?"
"I am Ye Tiancheng, a cultivator. I came here naturally to find mysterious things, unlike finding people like you. You also know that if you find people like you, you will definitely be an invincible existence." Ye Tiancheng's intention was to target them, which made these guys very ashamed and angry. He was very angry, very angry, and said fiercely, pointing at his nose and scolding, "You bastard kid, do you know what this place is? This is the forbidden area of the demon race's world. This is the entrance to the demon race's advancement. We want to hunt down those escaped demons, but we can't beat them, so we gave up. You also know that people like us who just make a living are very pathetic. Those above want us, and those below ostracize us. As a result, we are like dogs, not accepted by either side."
"So it's the entrance to the demon race's world, hahahaha! If I kill many demons, I will definitely get a lot of demon beast materials. It's truly a case of 'seeking something without looking, and finding it without effort'."
"Bastard, what are you talking about? Don't you know such words will incur divine punishment? How dare you say such things in front of us, are you looking for trouble?"
"These words make you very uncomfortable, but you must understand that the monsters above were all dealt with by us. If you don't want to be dealt with, don't obstruct us."
At this moment, someone spoke uncomfortably, saying this. These words were undoubtedly a provocation. But after hearing this fellow's words, they immediately dared not say anything.
After all, in the face of powerful forces, these guys all understood that speaking with powerful people meant only a dead end for them.
Since it was a dead end, then naturally it could only be tragedy upon tragedy, and reality that must be endured. In the face of people with powerful forces, they had to think carefully about everything they said and did.
Otherwise, they would die miserably.
