C68

The night passed without a word from Dr. Song. I walked to the fire and roasted my hands. The spring night on the mountain was as cold as winter.

Dr. Song said that when I first saw him, I had an evil smile on my face, and I clearly remember that I passed out from Du Xiang's attack.

Then who was he? Ling Xuan said, if I am the Heaven's End, then is this me now, Tian Jue or Tian Xie? One body belongs to two people. I don't believe that he is different from me, that he doesn't want to expel the other! However, every time I lost consciousness, he would come out. In fact, he had saved me twice, but even if he had, he was only saving himself, not me at all. Since he had his own will, what was he planning to do about us living together?

After Grandpa Sun found out that I had two appearances, he crazily left. He must have known something, but why didn't he tell me? Could it be that it was simply because he didn't have enough time to tell me? There was a secret behind these two things. Or rather, it could be said to be the truth!

While I was unconscious, I vaguely remember a blood-soaked man appearing in my consciousness and saying that he was me. Could it be that that man was the other me? Looking at his strange appearance, he should be Tian Xie, right? In that case, I am Tian Jue! Heaven's End, Heaven's End. Heaven wants you to die, can you resist?

Fighting against the heavens and life, should I still be alive? The choice made in the Valley of Abyss, was right, was wrong …

At dawn, when the first rays of the morning sun shone on Dr. Song's face, his eyes, which had not been closed all night, trembled.

"When are you leaving?"

I turned my head to look at him and calmly said, "If possible, I want to stay for as long as possible. One more day won't benefit any of you. The only thing that will benefit you will be disaster."

"Can you promise me a request after you recover?"

Doctor Song was a mighty man, but when I looked at him now, he was hunched over like an old man, weak and frail. Recalling how his family had treated me so well in the past few months, the warmth that they gave me, my heart trembled, for the first time in my life, I nodded my head in agreement without listening to a request.

"I want to have a look at your world!"

"Our world?" I was startled, but I still felt a sense of loss. Perhaps, I have never known that world before.

"I can't promise you right away. I can only promise you that when I see the world clearly, I will let you see it."

Doctor Song nodded his head, carrying the basket and saying in a hoarse voice, "Let's go. Once we reach the top of the mountain, we should have the herbs that you need …"

Looking at his staggering back, I felt a little guilty. I really didn't want to disturb Doctor Song's life, but, yes or no, everything was up to me.

On top of the mountain, the cold wind was even stronger. It was indeed difficult for my small and frail body. I drank a few mouthfuls of the strong wine that Doctor Song passed to me.

As far as the eye could see, apart from the crushed stones and weeds, there was nothing else at the top of the mountain.

"I've never seen the Cloud Gauze Grass you're talking about before. I came here to gather a bunch of herbs the other day and accidentally discovered a plant full of spirituality. I didn't expect this to be the case on the top of the mountain …"

I do not doubt Doctor Song's words, nor do I need to doubt him, I am just wondering, although I cannot feel the density of the spiritual energy here, this mountain is not too high, it is not suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs. Furthermore, Doctor Song has been collecting herbs for many years, although he has not been here for a very long time, but he discovered some Cloud Gauze Grass a while ago. Or am I thinking too much?

"Forget it, let's take a look. Maybe we'll find one or two Spirit Grasses."

It was almost nightfall. Doctor Song took me down the mountain and returned to the cave where we had hidden ourselves from the cold the night before. There was no place for us to rest on the mountaintop.

"I didn't find any other spiritual herbs. Looks like the Cloud Gauze Grass I found is the only spiritual herb on this mountain. Unfortunately, it's poisonous …"

I didn't say anything, nor did I show any disappointment. I just hugged myself and looked out at the wailing wind, thinking about the way out.

My body is getting weaker and weaker. Although I look no different from a normal person, I know that I can't absorb spiritual energy. My body will only age faster than a normal person's, unless I take a medicine that contains a lot of spiritual energy every day. Doctor Song's family isn't very wealthy. How long can you keep searching for valuable spiritual items like ginseng, lingzhi, for me every day?

Looking at the few Cloud leaves in Doctor Song's basket, I grit my teeth. I have to live or die. To live in such a helpless and lowly manner, I cannot bear this kind of pain!

Slowly getting up, I walked over and took out a few Cloud Gauze Grass from Doctor Song's basket. There were only five stalks in total, and three stalks were in a relatively fresh color. It seemed that they weren't very old, while the other two stalks were slightly older. One look was enough to tell that they had accumulated a certain amount of time.

This Spirit Grass would not wither with the seasons. It would only become more intelligent with the accumulation of time. These two old Cloud Gauze Grass definitely contained a lot of Spiritual Energy, but at the same time, the poison was also not low.

After seeing me take out the Cloud Gauze Grass for a closer look, although Doctor Song didn't know much about cultivation, he managed to guess a few things. He looked at me worriedly.

"You've told me before, this Cloud Gauze Grass is extremely poisonous, you won't …"

"Brother Song!"

I looked up at him. "This, this is our world!"

Dr. Song stared blankly at me, his mouth half open. After a long while, he slowly lowered his eyelids and sat back down by the fire. His chest was heaving, indicating the restlessness in his heart.

"At first light, you can go back. If I fail, you don't need to collect my corpse, just let me bury it here …"

Doctor Song did not say anything. He looked at the fire blankly and nodded his head.

I sat cross-legged and slowly breathed in and out. Even if I couldn't absorb the spiritual energy, I had to adjust my body and mind to their optimal state.

During the night, when I opened my eyes, Dr. Song had already left the cave.

"You will be fine. I have already seen your world … "After recovering, come back early. Your sister-in-law and Xiao Cui are still waiting for you …"

Looking at the resolute expression in Doctor Song's eyes, I nodded my head resolutely. He already understood and found his own life. I, too, am fighting for my life with my life!

The morning sunlight was very bright. Even if there was a slight gust of cold wind, it wouldn't affect its charm in the slightest. I thought, even if I fail, with this sunlight by my side, my dark life will be satisfied …

Cloud Gauze leaf!

I took a deep breath and stretched out my hand. After pausing for a moment on the two old trees, I still chose the three tender Cloud Gauze Leaves. Perhaps I was still a little afraid of death, afraid that the poison was too strong.

After thinking for a moment, I tore off a piece of cloth, bit the tip of my forefinger and wrote a line of words …

Grabbing a Cloud Gauze Grass, I swallow it in one gulp. Then, I immediately start breathing in and out in preparation to absorb the spirit energy it emits.

The Cloud Gauze Grass entered my stomach, and after a moment, it started to decompose. I felt a warm and comfortable feeling fill my stomach, but in an instant, a sharp pain accompanied the warmth and spread throughout my body. I knew that this was its poison, and it started to act up.

The poison of the Cloud Gauze Grass lay in its speed and its tyranny!

I could feel the meridians in my body gradually being occupied by the poison, as though they were devouring life force. They started withering slowly, and I could see my hands rapidly turning grey. I could feel my eyes drying up, and I could also feel my life slowly slipping away … However, it was not enough!

The spiritual energy provided by a Cloud Gauze Grass was insufficient. My body absorbed a bit of it, but in a moment, it was filled with energy. I hardened my heart and stuffed two more stalks into my mouth.

But it was still not enough!

My hands were already trembling. My vision was filled with dizziness. I grabbed the last two old Cloud Gauze Grass and swallowed them without hesitation. I only hoped that it would allow me to gather a bit of my spiritual power and crush this stone.

The poison from the Cloud Gauze Grass caused my nails to swiftly loosen up and fall. My throat was so dry that blood flowed out from it. Following my cough, my mouth flowed down to the ground and even my teeth started falling down as well … This process may have been short, but it was extremely painful for me right now. Not only my physical body, but my mind as well. Watching my body slowly die, the destruction of my willpower had already reached a point where life was better than death.

Finally, the huge amount of spirit energy that exploded within my body made me feel as if I had just returned to reality. My withered, branch-like body became smooth and round, and my limbs and bones immediately filled with strength! It only lasted for a moment, and then his entire body turned black, as black as death. However, that was enough for him!

The world I saw was grey and it gradually turned black. I crushed the rock but I didn't see the color that I should have … The reason why darkness was so scary was because the darkness of the entire world was filled with the unknown. It was filled with endless darkness!

I understood the feeling of death, so I became more afraid of it.

But this time, I didn't feel the helplessness and despair that darkness brought me, because a light lit up my world. My originally silent consciousness was awakened by this light, and I stared at this light in a daze.

I don't know if I came out with the other one when I wasn't conscious. I just felt that my body, which was filled with Cloud Gauze Poison, was almost completely dead. Even if he did come out, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything.

Although it is only my consciousness, I know that Cheng Tian has already arrived. He will definitely save me, because the reason why a Divine Emperor can become an Emperor is because they have their pride and dignity. Since they have already promised me, they will not break their promise!

A warm feeling gradually spread out. It was very comfortable. My consciousness that had just awakened gradually closed my eyes, and I gradually fell asleep …

Suddenly opening my eyes, I saw that the sky was very blue. The sky was slightly cold, but the sunlight was comforting. I slightly closed my eyes. My dry eyes weren't used to this bright world. Slowly sitting up, an extremely comfortable feeling permeates through my entire body. After stretching my body, 'ka ka', the sound of my bones makes me feel refreshed.

"I knew you would come!"

"That's right, I will definitely come. This time, you've made a huge gamble."

"The reason why I made such a big bet is because I have enough chips. You, Cheng Tian, are my bargaining chip!"

Turning his head around, the white robed Conquering Heavens stood straight at the edge of the cliff. Looking at the distant horizon, his eyes were like a torch …
