Li Chengfeng fell rapidly through the air, his hands still desperately clawing at something with no intention of giving up. However, he could not grab anything. Suddenly, his body jerked, as if his organs had been smashed by a hammer. His vision went black and he fainted.
When she fell, she subconsciously controlled her body to slow down her fall. She watched as Li Chengfeng fell into the pool at the bottom of the valley. The moment she was about to hit the water, she suddenly froze in mid-air and floated up.
The petite figure floated on the surface of the pool, one foot tapping lightly on the surface, creating another small ripple in the ripple Li Chengfeng had created.
Yuehan looked around and saw that the surface of the pool was shrouded in mist. Behind her was a cliff covered in moss, and further away, it was shrouded in mist, so she couldn't see clearly.
She looked down at the pool and frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed. She huffed coldly. "Count yourself lucky!" She raised her hand and a figure suddenly flew out of the water. It was Li Chengfeng, who had fainted from the fall.
With a wave of her hand, Li Chengfeng fell heavily onto the rocky shore. His skin was torn and his flesh was exposed, a horrible sight to behold.
"Should I save him …" She stared at this shameless guy, hesitant. "If he's the reincarnation of the traitorous immortal, he probably won't die here. If he's not … then what's the point of saving him?"
At this thought, she walked across the water confidently to the shore and squatted down. Looking down at the unconscious Li Chengfeng, she reached out a finger and tapped his forehead. "Hey, will you still be shameless next time?"
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't dare to do it again!"
She flicked Li Chengfeng's forehead and chuckled. "That's what you get for messing with me!"
As she spoke, blood suddenly flowed out of his orifices.
Yuehan paused, "What's going on?"
Yuehan reached out to feel Li Chengfeng's pulse, but as soon as she touched it, she retracted her hand. The last time she accidentally triggered Li Chengfeng's protective Immortal Qi was still fresh in her memory. She didn't dare to trigger it again.
However, as more and more blood flowed out of Li Chengfeng's orifices, she struggled and hesitated. Was he going to die?
No, he was the reincarnated traitorous immortal, he wouldn't die!
He was …
Hmm?
Wait, even the reincarnated traitorous immortal would die, right?
Otherwise, the Imperial Court wouldn't have issued the Kill Order back then!
If he didn't save him, and he really was the reincarnated traitorous immortal, then … what would the consequences be?
Yuehan suddenly thought of a very thought-provoking question: What did he do to make the Immortal Realm view him as a traitor and want to get rid of him?
Yuehan stared at Li Chengfeng. She thought for a moment, then took a deep breath. She raised her fair wrist and made a hand seal with her slender fingers. A few crystal clear blue droplets slowly appeared on her fingertips, swirling around.
However, before she could proceed to the next step, something strange happened within Li Chengfeng's body.
A faint golden light flowed out of his body, wrapping him up bit by bit like a silkworm spinning silk. It made him look like a silkworm cocoon wrapped in golden silk. One could only see his figure through the golden silk.
These golden threads rippled and slowly spread in all directions. All the green plants on the shore suddenly began to rustle. At first, the sound was like silkworms swallowing leaves, rustling. Then, the sound grew louder and louder until it became rustling, and the surrounding sounds did not stop.
Yuehan stood up in shock. She was on high alert, casting a spell to protect herself as she looked around nervously!
What happened next made her eyes widen. Countless green plants around them began to grow wildly, their leaves and vines crawling towards Li Chengfeng as if they were alive. Once they touched his body, they withered instantly. The fat green leaves withered into broken leaves that could be blown away by the wind, while the thick vines shrunk into brittle, brittle twigs that looked like they had been weathered by the wind.
However, the green plants continued to rush towards Li Chengfeng like a tidal wave, as if they were going to drown him in wave after wave of green!
…
Li Chengfeng fell from the cliff. When he hit the water surface, his body sank. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pitch-black environment. Everything around him was as dark as ink.
The pitch-black darkness was terrifying. Li Chengfeng looked around. He couldn't tell north from south, east from west, and he couldn't even tell where he was. He yelled but all he heard were echoes.
Li Chengfeng looked up and saw a tiny bit of light in the distant sky. This tiny bit of light was like a lantern hanging high in the sky, guiding something.
With this tiny bit of light, Li Chengfeng could barely make out the ten gigantic stone pillars in the middle of the vast, dark wilderness. Each stone pillar was so huge that it reached the sky. Li Chengfeng could not imagine how anyone in this world could carve such huge stone pillars out of the ground.
Li Chengfeng stood in the middle of the stone pillars, terrified and confused. He suddenly remembered the last time he had a dream, he saw ten giant pillars in a majestic palace!
Just as Li Chengfeng was guessing how these ten pillars were related to the stone pillars he saw before, the tiny bit of light in the sky suddenly shot down a beam of light that enveloped one of the stone pillars, instantly illuminating it.
Li Chengfeng walked towards the stone pillar, studying it carefully. The stone pillar was carved into four rectangular areas, each area filled with words. Li Chengfeng could barely make out the words at the bottom, but he could not make out what each word meant when put together. This was obviously a passage of an essay, he would not be able to understand it if he started reading from the bottom.
There were exquisite totemic carvings in between each block. Li Chengfeng took a closer look and realised that the totemic carvings on this stone pillar were the same as the ones he saw in the palace. They were floral patterns.
Li Chengfeng felt that the situation in front of him was a little strange. Why did he have two similar dreams?
What were these ten stone pillars? What was carved on them?
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and climbed up the stone pillar. Fortunately, he was agile and there were many grooves carved into the stone wall for him to climb.
After climbing for a long time, Li Chengfeng suddenly realized that he had reached the top. He raised his head to look around and realised that the other nine pillars were much higher than this one, while the light above him was still far away in the sky, so far that he could not reach it.
Using the ray of light from the sky, Li Chengfeng tried hard to decipher the words on the pillar. He muttered, "The Way of Heaven, takes away surpluses and replenishes deficiencies.
The Way of Man, takes away surpluses and replenishes deficiencies!
Therefore, the Way of Heaven triumphs over the Way of Man!
The Way of Heaven and Earth, humans, beasts, birds, insects, flowers and trees, are all beings of the same origin … "
Li Chengfeng tried hard to decipher the words on the pillar. The more he read, the more he realised that it was exactly the same as the last time he saw it!
What did it mean?
What exactly is this place?
Why was he here?
These questions surged towards Li Chengfeng like a tidal wave, making him feel like he was falling into a cloud.
