However, at White Candle Monastery, his mind was a little shaken.

He didn’t know what to say or what to say.

That was because, regardless of whether this person before them succeeded or failed in the future, it was unlikely that he would become an existence like them. If he lost, he would become one of the many consciousnesses of the Blacktide. If he won, would the Heavenly Axiom let go of such wonderful ” nutrition “?

Regardless of whether he won or lost, he seemed to have no future.

No one had a future, because the road to the future had been blocked.

The path to heaven had always been a joke. One mountain could not accommodate two tigers, let alone the Heavenly Dao.

Since there’s a Heavenly Dao, why would I need your Dao?

Under the Heavenly Dao, one could drag on, but if one wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao, then the only way was to reach the Dao Integration. The only way was to become the Heavenly Dao’s nourishment, to become one of it, to facilitate it, to achieve it.

Xia Ji said calmly, ” Chaos is about to break out, and I’m powerless to stop it. The Black Tide is in chaos, and the Heavenly Dao is fighting for supremacy. These are all beyond my ability. However, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man. Let me not be a saint or a demon, but just a common man. ”

Bai Zhu looked at him seriously and suddenly said, “”I want to apologize to you. Previously, I said that you were the tenth person in this world. In the future, there will be an eleventh person, a twelfth person…But I was wrong.”

” He ” looked at Xia Ji and said softly, ” You are the only one. ”

“When are you leaving?” Xia Ji suddenly asked.

Earlier, Bai Zhu had mentioned that they needed to return quickly, so Xia Ji directly brought it up.

“Wait for spring,” said Bai Zhu.

“Can you help me deliver a letter to Su Daji?” Xia Ji asked after thinking for a while.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll peek?” Bai Zhu smiled.

Xia Ji didn’t say anything. He just spread out the paper and scribbled a letter. Then, he put it into an envelope without saving it. He didn’t even put any wax on the envelope. He only stuck it slightly and handed it to Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu paused for a moment before receiving the letter. After which, he said,” I said I’ll treat you to a meal, so I’ll treat you. Let’s go to Fengzhan City at the foot of the Dragon Slaying Temple for a meal tonight. ”

“Sure,” Xia Ji said.

The two of them walked to the window and looked at the gradually decreasing snow.

” Ask Su Daji and Su Yueqing, ” Xia Ji suddenly said. ” I’m getting married in three years. Will they come? ”

Bai Zhu said, ” Forget it. Su Daji can’t come. As for your little lover, Su Yueqing, you don’t have to test her. She’s alive and well. She’s still the head of the Su family and is in charge of a region. She’s very shrewd. She can be considered a hero in this life. ”

But she doesn’t have a dao partner, so she’s probably been waiting for you. I already knew about this, but even so, why did you invite her to your wedding in three years?”

“There’s a beginning and an end,” Xia Ji said.

” She can’t come, ” Bai Zhu said. ” The road here is very dangerous. If she’s not careful, her life will be in danger. I won’t tell her. ”

Xia Ji thought for a moment and wrote a second letter. He handed it to Bai Zhu and said, “”This is for Su Yueqing.”

“Okay ~~” Bai Zhu took it and placed it in the storage space. Then, she rubbed her hands and breathed.”The weather is so cold.”

“Yeah,” Xia Ji said, also heaving.

” Why don’t we walk to Fengzhan City? ” Bai Zhu said. ” It’s been a long time since we walked like mortals. ”

“Alright,” Xia Ji said.

The ” bored ” duo walked along the mountain path and through the snow-covered path. When the cultivators along the way saw the two of them, they hurriedly paid their respects. Everyone knew that Xuan Qing was now a powerful cultivator of the 14th realm and seemed to be highly regarded by the Abbey Dean.

Thus, the two of them took a long detour and only arrived at Fengzhan City at night.

Bai Zhu picked a roadside stall and ordered three or four plates of stir-fried vegetables with three taels of silver. The two of them sat by the roadside and listened to the sound of the spatula not far away. The charcoal fire was raging, and the stir-fried vegetables were made by an old man and a young man. The young man looked reluctant, as if he felt that doing this was not promising. He muttered that he wanted to practice martial arts, but the old man ignored him. He must have been used to it.

After that, the young man brought a few dishes to the table. However, when he saw Bai Zhu’s beautiful appearance, his eyes widened, and his actions became more elegant. However, when he looked at Xia Ji, who was sitting next to him, he suddenly felt like a deflated balloon, and his eyes were filled with sadness.

Xia Ji and Bai Zhu clapped their hands as they sat facing each other.

“I’ve seen situations like this before,” Xia Ji said. For example, the twenty heavens, or a cultivator named Yi Ruchu from the Taihao Mausoleum.”

“What are you trying to say?” Bai Zhu asked.

” I don’t want her to be lost in this 500-year cycle, ” Xia Ji said.

“That’s not good,” Bai Zhu said with a smile.”You can enjoy a fresh love every five hundred years. Others can’t even beg for it.”

Xia Ji didn’t nod or shake his head. He just looked at Bai Zhu.

“I’m just joking, but there’s no other way.” Bai Zhu sighed.

“Why?” Xia Ji asked.

” The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, ” Bai Zhu said. ” The four seasons cycle endlessly. Can you change that? ”

He thought for a moment and said, ” Actually, it’s not impossible. In fact, our human world is a huge piece of land suspended in the universe, rotating around a huge fireball in the center. As long as you have enough power to move this human world away and push it to other places, you can change the rules of the east rising and the west falling.

No, I have to change my metaphor…”

“Can you stop time?” Bai Zhu asked after pondering for a while.

Xia Ji shook his head.

Bai Zhu said,”That’s right. Miaomiao, the twenty heavens, and some existences of Taoism all have laws…” They were not considered humans, but a kind of…You can treat them as nature. Nature was like time and space. They followed the rules and would never change. So, since you can’t change it, then enjoy it. Anyway, you didn’t suffer any losses.”
