Three-lives Sacred Stone, Three-lives Secret Realm.
Past life, present life, future life.
Past life could refer to countless reincarnations, and future life could refer to countless reincarnations in the future.
Adding them all together, it might be an eternal life.
From the very beginning, Long Chen had the feeling that this place was open. In fact, he had even discovered that the ground was empty. This was an opportunity that others had left for him. It was also a test for him and Lingxi.
Three-lives Secret Realm was a test of love from the start.
Perhaps someone was manipulating it from behind the scenes.
Perhaps there was a supreme rule that had been set long ago. Then, it would change according to the character of the person who came, changing the rules of the game.
After understanding this, Long Chen was not afraid.
Because if it was as he thought, the love between Poseidon Emperor and Liu Ji could not be counted as love at all. That kind of relationship was a mixture of deep desires, benefits, power, and vanity. There were very few true feelings.
Chen Xingyao and Zhong Yuyao's feelings could be countless times deeper than theirs.
But they were dead. This meant that strength was also very important. Only a couple with the purest feelings and tyrannical strength could obtain everything in the end.
He and Lingxi were more compatible than Poseidon Emperor and the others.
Therefore, he believed that even if he could not obtain it, Poseidon Emperor and Liu Ji would not be able to obtain it either. Moreover, they must have thought that he was dead now …
He and Lingxi advanced in silence.
He did not dare to be negligent. He knew that there would be other tests. He did not tell Lingxi his thoughts. After all, it was just a guess. His and Lingxi's feelings had gone through a lot of trials and tribulations. They did not need to be tested.
"There seems to be no Empyrean Heart Fire ahead."
Lingxi said in surprise.
Although the two of them could resist the Empyrean Heart Fire by clenching their fists, it would still affect them a little. It would be much better if they reached an open area.
"Be careful."
Long Chen was not too happy. The two of them continued forward. As expected, they could see an open area through the gaps of the flames. It seemed that they had already walked out of the Empyrean Heart Fire and were about to reach their destination.
"Will we be faster than them? It's a pity that we can't fly on the ground. Otherwise, we would be able to go up. But it seems like we can't break the mirror in the sky."
Lingxi's imagination ran wild.
"There's a door."
The two of them passed through the layers of flames. Now, there was no more flames after a meter, but there was a door blocking their way.
Previously, he had identified a type of green smoke and passed through the passageway. There was also a door behind the ice sculpture, which led to the city within the mirror. The door in front of him was exactly the same as the other one, but it seemed to be closed.
In front of the door formed by the Heavenly God Heart Flame, there was a thin line that looked like a spider web, blocking the two of them. The thin line flickered with a sharp and tenacious light.
"Let me try to split it."
Just as Long Chen finished speaking, Lingxi pressed his hand lightly. She smiled coquettishly and said, "This is a very ancient sealing design. It's recorded in the Immortal Lord Realm technique. I can solve it. Watch me."
"Be careful."
"It's fine."
Ling Xi was very happy to encounter something she was good at. This way, she would be able to help. She didn't want to be by Long Chen's side and only be able to let him protect her while she couldn't help at all.
After being on Tian Long Star for so long, Lingxi had learned many of the more basic things in the Immortal Lord Realm technique.
Today, this sealing design was indeed not a problem for her. One by one, the thin lines disappeared in her nimble hands. A total of 100 thin lines disappeared in less than a quarter of an hour.
"It's done."
Lingxi revealed a sweet smile that could move one's soul.
However, at this moment, those thin lines that had disappeared converged into rays of light, forming a few extremely ancient characters on the door. Those characters were extremely twisted, and disappeared in a flash. Long Chen couldn't see them clearly at all, but Ling Xi was stunned on the spot, her entire person seemed to be stunned.
"What's wrong? You recognize these words?"
Long Chen asked, seeing that she was a little strange.
"No, I don't. Go quickly."
Lingxi quickly recovered her smile. She was not a scheming person. Usually, if she had something on her mind, she would not be able to hide it from Long Chen. But this time, she did not say it.
Long Chen knew that she must have understood the words, but could not tell him.
"Then let's go."
He pulled Lingxi's left hand, and was about to step towards the door. Lingxi's body was stiff. Just as Long Chen was about to step through the door, she seemed to be ready to break free from Long Chen's arm.
It seemed like she wanted Long Chen to go in alone.
At this critical moment, Long Chen quickly retracted his foot and quickly turned his head, only to see that the girl's eyes were already filled with sparkling tears, but they had yet to flow out. Long Chen's sudden action of retracting his foot was out of her expectations, so she quickly wiped her tears, afraid that Long Chen would find out.
However, how could her thoughts escape Long Chen's eyes?
"Why are you crying?" Long Chen hugged her and whispered in her ear.
"No, I just feel very happy to be with you …" Lingxi dodged his gaze a little.
"Is that so..." Long Chen leaned close to her ear and said, "Then you go first."
"No way."
Ling Xi, on the other hand, fiercely resisted. She used all her strength to struggle free from Long Chen's grasp. However, she was suddenly startled. She raised her head and looked at Long Chen. Her eyes were red and tears flickered. She asked, "You … You know everything."
Long Chen actually did not know what those words meant.
But he guessed it.
"Is it true that this door can only allow one person to pass through? The other person will be left in the Empyrean Heart Fire forever, just like Emperor Xi Yao. He will suffer for a year and then turn into ashes."
His gaze was like the blazing sun as he looked at Lingxi's tear-filled eyes.
"So you can understand it as well …"
Ling Xi held back her tears as she helplessly looked at him. She hoped that Long Chen wouldn't be able to understand it. If that was the case, then things would be easier to resolve. One person could escape with his life, while the other would have to suffer for eternity. Right now, she didn't have too many pursuits, but she knew that Long Chen had many responsibilities and missions. If she was the only one who understood it, she would choose to send him away easily.
Only one of them could survive, and the other would have to suffer severe torture. This kind of choice was almost impossible. If it wasn't for her true love, if it wasn't for the fact that she had already engraved the other party's name into her bones, Lingxi would definitely not choose to remain silent.
With her personality, it was already not easy for her to be able to hold back after seeing these words and not collapse on the spot.
If it were someone else, such as the Sea God Emperor Liu Ji, any one of them would be able to read it and quickly let him pass.
Long Chen took a deep breath.
He hugged the woman in his arms with incomparable strength. Now, all his words were stuck in his throat, and even a word would tremble.
In order to let him live, she was willing to endure such pain, and she didn't want to tell Long Chen about it before it happened. This woman gave him a way to live, and secretly tricked him to go over first. Her love was so strong, and she didn't look back. What else was not worth it?
In this life, wasn't this what people wanted to have no regrets?
The warmth in his arms made him choke. He had always been changing, but Lingxi had never changed. She was still the same, treating him as everything in her life.
"I don't understand it, I guessed …"
In the end, Long Chen held her beautiful face and said affectionately.
If he wasn't smart enough to observe, any careless man would definitely regret it for the rest of his life. It had to be said that the Three Lives Secret Realm was a very abnormal place. The Stone of Present Life made the Sea God Emperor choose one of the two, causing the abandoned Emperor Xi Yao to end up in a miserable state.
And at this moment, Long Chen was actually forced to choose one of the two lovers.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Lingxi was a little stunned. It turned out that he was just guessing, but now he was sure.
"Chen, listen to me, you need to live more than I do."
Lingxi hurriedly cried.
"Shut up."
Long Chen reached out and held her down.
"Xiao Xi, calm down, you can't be confused. Think carefully, where are we now? This is the Three Lives Secret Realm, inside the Three Lives Divine Stone. What does the Three Lives Divine Stone symbolize? Eternal love. From the beginning, the Three Lives Secret Realm tested this, so you have to believe that what we are facing is not despair, but a test. In other words, if we don't know how to give up for each other, we will all truly fail and die."
He used these words to make Ling Xi ponder. Then, he said seriously, "Think about it carefully. Why is it that you can understand words that I can't understand? Isn't it precisely because of this test? Also, from another perspective, if you stay here, you won't have a chance to survive. However, I'm different. I'm stronger than you, and I have the Ancestral Dragon's inherited blood essence. It's impossible for me to die so easily. Moreover, have you forgotten that I have two lives? I won't die so easily. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, I'm more suitable than you to stay here and accept this challenge."
"No."
Lingxi was first coaxed by him, then she shook her head like a rattle drum, saying, "I can believe you at other times, but not now. You're lying to me, you must be coaxing me. I'm not a child, I'm not that gullible."
She was rarely so emotional.
She wrapped herself around Long Chen like an octopus, staring at Long Chen with tearful eyes, which made Long Chen's heart ache.
However, Long Chen knew that no matter if he had to go through this test or if he would really be tortured here, he had to stay here. Lingxi would definitely die if she stayed here, but he had a chance of survival.
Now, no matter how he explained it to her, she wouldn't believe him.
"Remember, I know you love me, but I also love you. My love for you is no less than yours. To me, your life is much more precious than mine. You have to take good care of yourself. In the future, don't do such a stupid thing, or I will never forgive you."
For Long Chen, throwing Lingxi over was a simple matter.
