Chapter 1715: Guarding the Hill and Turning the Tide

The life rope released by the Taiyi Saint was not a rope that locked the enemy like an ordinary rope. Instead, thousands of even finer black threads swarmed out of it.

Just like a pair of invisible skillful hands weaving quickly, soon, a "Shou Qiu Gong" woven with hemp rope appeared on the scene.

The moment the rope doll was born, it seemed as if an inexplicable existence locked it and Shouqiu Gong together in some way.

As if looking into the eyes of another self, Morioka's hair stood on end and he instinctively sensed a fatal crisis.

What happened next quickly proved Morioka's premonition.

In the virtual world, it seemed as if a breeze was blowing.

One of the thin threads that made up the rope puppet guarding Qiu Gong suddenly floated out of the body and was swallowed up by the surrounding Taoism in an instant.

And the corresponding...

Shouqiu also really realized that a part of himself was taken away out of thin air and disappeared!
The tortoise shell on the top of the head suppresses it, and the ancestral bone between the eyebrows absorbs it.

Lord Shouqiu, who was already in danger, was in an even worse situation due to the sudden drop in strength.

Even though the head was still held high, the whole body had been forcibly shortened.

Threads of blood oozed out, and the moment they flowed out of the body, they were absorbed by the ancestral bones. The whitening of the bones became more and more obvious, and from the outside, it almost looked like the whole thing was hanging on Shouqiu's hunched body.

The rope is broken and the thread is pulled out, life hangs on a thread!
The extraction of the life rope continues.

Shouqiu felt more and more clearly that his life was slipping away rapidly.

The realization of the path to immortality, in the face of fatal crisis, also blossomed with unprecedented brilliant green light.

Try your best to repair Shouqiu's injuries.

If there was only the tortoise shell and ancestral bones forcing him, Shouqiu might be able to rely on the characteristics of the longevity path to hold on for a while longer. But the consumption of the life rope directly draws out the origin.

As the rope puppet Shouqiu in front of him became more and more depressed, the life essence of Shouqiu Gong also became thinner and thinner.

Even if the power of immortality continues to nourish the body, it can only fill it.

But it cannot prevent the reduction of the upper limit of life.

"The means of this life rope are vaguely similar to the magical power of [True or False]!"

"But it's not that they are denying my existence from the perspective of truth and falsehood, but that they are using a certain force to extract the essence of my life..."

Life is like a candle in a strong wind, and it is about to die.

Shouqiu felt neither sad nor happy in his heart. He seized the last moment of his life and appreciated the three things: the tortoise shell, the ancestral bones and the life rope.

And think about how to deal with it.

Some even gave up resistance and tried different coping methods at the cost of their own faster fall.

“Although the tortoise shell is small and thin, it seems to represent the boundless mountain above.”

“The saints say that their bodies are equal to the mountains and seas, but only when the mountains and seas really press down on their bodies can they feel the weight of the mountains and seas.”

“Even at the level of the Three Saints, I’m afraid that I may not be able to resist it.”

"Perhaps I can use my understanding of the mountains and seas to dissolve some of the suppressive force. It's as if I were already in the mountains..."

"The ancestral bone absorbs everything in the body, returning to it without resistance. Just like the water in the world flows eastward into the sea, as if following the trend of nature. But there is water in the world flowing westward, forming another ocean! Although you are the ancestor of all living things in the world, I am the guardian of the mountains and seas, Mr. Qiu!"

There seemed to be a blazing fire in Shouqiu Gong's eyes, as if he had sensed his thoughts. The blood and flesh flowing toward the ancestral bones in his body also stagnated.

He seemed to be caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"As for this life rope..."

"The means of extracting the essence of life is really hard to guard against. The moment the rope puppet is born, all the negative things that happen to it will be realized on me at the same time. This kind of corresponding binding may only be resolved through the change of truth and falsehood."

Lord Shouqiu vaguely found a way to disintegrate the system, but he suppressed the urge to try.

This time was different from before, he had been locked by the fate doll, and his ancestral bones were parasitic.

The situation inside the body may be perceived through the virtual world.

If you forcibly use the transformation of truth and falsehood at this time, the other party may realize that it really exists.

"There is no point in struggling to survive."

"never mind."

When he was about to die, Shouqiu felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Because he knew that as long as Li Fan activated Huan Zhen again, he would return from nothingness.

I didn't dwell on the question of whether I was still myself.

The dying Lord Shouqiu felt a sense of melancholy.

It was precisely because of this thought that he would definitely come back that Shouqiu could not feel the normal emotions deep in his heart when faced with the great terror of life and death.

This strange feeling made Shouqiu feel that the immortality he had been trying to comprehend for most of his life seemed to be worthless.

"If there is no death, what is the meaning of immortality?"

"The great road of truth and falsehood has left the whole world empty!"

……

At this moment, the support from the Three Saints finally arrived.

They seemed to be quite wary of using the tortoise shell, ancestral bones, and life rope, unlike the incarnations in the virtual world who were decisive.

Only after seeing that Lord Shouqiu was about to die did he release the three creatures.

Silently, it lingers around the person guarding the hill.

Compared to what the virtual world incarnation released, the three objects in their original form seemed...

Even more evil!

What the incarnation of the virtual world performs is pure "matter".

What the Three Saints took out at this moment seemed like a living being.

Even Shouqiu Gong vaguely felt three different pairs of gazes looking him up and down.

A strange laugh that seemed to come and go rang in my ears from time to time.

The cold, evil breath penetrated into the body through every pore.

This made Shouqiu Gong feel very "uncomfortable".

It's not pain, but an instinctive rejection and stay away!
Fortunately, the three creatures are still under the control of the three saints and have not forgotten their mission.

Turtle shell against tortoise shell, the continuous shadow of the mountain above presses down, and the boundless and free mountain above resists.

Ancestral bones against ancestral bones, with the penetration of another power of the ancestors of mountain and sea creatures, Shouqiu lost blood and flesh in his body, and instantly lost his direction. He didn't know where to go.

Life rope against life rope. In the void, another rope puppet Shouqiu Gong quietly emerged. The life essence that was taken away by the invisible was slowly replenished by it!

The Three Saints themselves took action and reversed Shouqiu Gong’s precarious situation in an instant, rescuing him from the gates of hell!
The Three Saints and their incarnations in the virtual world are like tit-for-tat against thorns.

They are equally good and it is hard to tell who is better!
Lord Shouqiu, who had escaped the disaster, had no time to celebrate. Instead, he felt uneasy for no reason.

Not for myself, but for the Three Saints.

"If they were just evenly matched...how could the Three Saints have fallen in the previous life?"

"Could it be..."

Shouqiu was shocked and was about to speak out to remind him.

But the incarnation of the virtual world seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Just as the three saints released the tortoise shell, ancestral bones, and life rope to save Shouqiu, three more objects suddenly descended in the virtual world, accompanied by ripples!
Like a flying stone coming from the sky, it was thrown into the field.

The countless lines in the arena where the six saints were fighting were suddenly messed up!
The ropes of life connect the mountains, the tortoise shells suppress the return to the sea, and the ancestral bones capture Taiyi.

As if it was premeditated, the virtual world actually gave rise to these three objects and imposed them on the bodies of the three saints!

Seeing this, Shouqiu understood instantly.

After all, the tortoise shell, ancestral bones, and life rope wielded by the incarnation of the virtual world are just derivatives of the power of the virtual world, not real things.

As long as enough power is invested, the second and third copies can naturally evolve.

But in the hands of the three saints, there were only the tortoise shell, ancestral bones and the life rope.

At this moment, because of a momentary thought, he tried to save Shouqiu's life, but ended up putting himself in danger.

The strength of the Three Saints and their incarnations in the virtual world are comparable.

The extra tortoise shell, ancestral bones and life rope at this moment became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
The three saints wanted to transfer their treasures back for support, but they were already entangled by the first copy.

He had even abandoned his previous goal of defending the hill and was willing to let his own form gradually disintegrate in order to hold back the opponent.

Shouqiu looked suddenly into the depths of the virtual world, where he seemed to see someone who had suddenly made a move, revealing a faint smug smile.

Given Shouqiu's temperament, it was impossible for him to prove that the Three Saints died because of him.

Besides, Li Fan's original plan in this life was to save the three lives and observe the changes of the three saints.

The instinct is to rush to help.

But the glance outside the virtual world just now made Shouqiu feel a little hesitant.

It's not that he's afraid of death, but...

In a flash, after going through countless deductions in his mind, Shouqiu finally found a suitable method.

"Change of plans."

"Fellow Daoists, please do not show up. Just observe from the dark."

"If there is another change outside the virtual world..."

"It will only happen to me."

After transmitting the message, without waiting for Li Fan's response, Shouqiu no longer concealed what he had learned in this life.

The great way of truth and falsehood, the outline of the changes of mountains and seas.

Give it your all without reservation.

In just a breath, the body that was destroyed by the tortoise shell, ancestral bones, and life rope had recovered to its full strength.

He took a step forward, leaped across the endless virtual world, and came to the center surrounded by the three saints.

"Destiny is all kinds of things, like truth and falsehood, like dreams and illusions. Thinking about it is false, and thinking about it is fake!"

He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the life rope that was wrapped around Saint Lianshan.

When a foreign object attacks, the life rope instinctively evolves into a rope puppet to control it and then extract the life essence.

But those thousands of separate silk threads, woven in the void for a long time, ended up being nothing in the end!

It was as if Shouqiu Gong, who was holding it at this moment, was not within the mountains and seas, nor within fate!
"In the past, the mountains and the sea were peaceful, and I sat on the mountain and looked at the sea. Now the mountains and the sea are in turmoil, so I..."

"Carry it on your shoulders, carry it on your body."

With a casual move, he took over the thin piece of light that suppressed the Saint Returning to the Sea.

The tortoise shell trembled, as if it was very angry at Shouqiu's offensive behavior.

But no matter how it releases light, the hill guarding it seems that it can never feel the weight of the boundless mountain above it.

Not affected in any way!

"The existence or non-existence of the ancestor of all living things in the world is just a matter of a thought."

There was no need for Shouqiu to say much. After sensing the extraordinary aura emanating from Shouqiu, the ancestral bones had already abandoned Taiyi.

Actively erode it.

But even if you search thoroughly, you won't find what you want.

Inside Shouqiu's body, it seemed as if there was nothing inside.

Even Shouqiu himself seemed not to exist in this world!

Shou Qiu showed up to rescue the Three Saints, attracting the firepower of the tortoise shell, ancestral bones, and life rope.

All this happened in a flash.

In the virtual world, the situation changed suddenly.

The extremely chaotic lines, representing countless conflicting possibilities, all became still.

Even the surging waves that had never subsided fell into a strange stillness at this moment.

then……

Boom boom boom.

Faintly, there were continuous roars coming from all over the virtual world.

The endless Dao was annihilated, as if it was boiling at this moment, becoming a monstrous force.

Gradually surrounded the six saints and Shouqiu in the field.

In the waves of Daoyan, it seems that countless figures are brewing and taking shape.

Most of them look like the Three Saints.

But there are other saints.

It seems that the virtual world has exhausted all the power it can mobilize, vowing to succeed in the hunt here.

The six saints who were originally fighting each other also stopped their actions at the same time in tacit understanding.

They all looked at Lord Shouqiu who was surrounded and had a calm expression.

The three treasures of tortoise shell, ancestral bones and life rope are added to his body, but he remains unmoved.

The waves of the virtual world are continuous and cannot hurt it at all.

The six figures, sensing Shouqiu's aura, could not hide their shock.

"True, false, great, truth..."

The virtual incarnation of the Lianshan Saint spoke slowly and enunciated each word.

What was revealed in his eyes was madness and greed that was inconsistent with his identity as the "Saint of Lianshan".

The same is true for the other two incarnations of the virtual world!

"We have already perished, but were created by the power of the virtual world. But if we can hold on to the true and false path..."

"What is life? What is death?"

The virtual world took shape into a dark body, twisting and turning. It seemed to be fighting against the mission given by the virtual world. No matter what, it had to seize the true and false and start over.

The original bodies of the Three Saints are not as naked as their incarnations in the virtual world.

But their expressions were also extremely complicated.

"I never thought that the true and false road is hidden among us."

"Mr. Shouqiu, you really hid it very well!"

Shouqiu just smiled and said nothing.

Lian Shan immediately frowned and asked, "Since you have been hiding for so long, why did you choose to expose yourself suddenly?"

Just when he was about to get into details, he was interrupted by Shouqiu's words.

"Lianshan got it wrong after all."

"The truth and falsehood are mysterious, there is no such thing as hiding or exposing."

"What if I tell you? If you think it's true, you won't know it anymore."

"Because, I just can't bear to see you die to save me."

"With the true and false avenues in my body, I will naturally be able to act..."

"Follow your heart!"

Mr. Shouqiu seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

He disregarded the covetousness of the six saints around him and treated them with indifference.

Even the numerous figures that were taking shape in the depths of the virtual world were completely ignored by him.

"The true and false avenues can return to the stars with just one thought."

"It's just a virtual world creation..."

"Even if there are thousands of people, what's the harm?"

Shouqiu Gong said calmly, and closed his eyes: "It's just right to use it to prove what I have realized!"

It was as if I had returned to the original fairyland, sitting on the mountain and looking at the sea.

Shouqiu is at peace both physically and mentally, without any sadness or joy, and reflects everything he sees in his heart.

Wherever the thoughts go, the power of truth and falsehood descends silently.

“I think, therefore I am not here.”

Shouqiu's voice spread throughout the virtual world.

Like a breeze blowing by.

Looks harmless, but actually...

The surging waves were suppressed by a pair of invisible hands and forced to calm down.

The figures were appearing one after another, but most of them disappeared.

The three virtual world incarnations closest to Shouqiu have become transparent!

Until the breeze blew and disappeared.

The three saints' incarnations in the virtual world only realized what was happening belatedly and looked horrified.
