Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 149: Encountering a Madman to Solve the Mystery, Xiao Bei Explores the Mystery and Spring

Xiao Bei and Bei Li continued to move forward under the guidance of the strange marks. Every step they took seemed like they were walking through an unknown fog.

Suddenly, the light of the mark disappeared in the darkness, and whispers were heard from the front.

In a dim corner, an old man with disheveled hair and dirty face sat there, muttering something non-stop. It was the rumored "crazy" old space dweller.

Xiao Bei had just taken a few tentative steps forward when he saw the other party suddenly stand up, so fast that it made people's pupils shrink.

The old space dweller's hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Bei's wrist like an iron clamp, with such great force that no matter how hard Xiao Bei tried, he couldn't break free.

There was an unusual light flashing in the old space dweller's eyes, as if he might go crazy at any time.

"Darkness is not black, light is not light; a broken mirror cannot be round, so how can it be whole?" The voice of the old space dweller was like the echo of a deep valley, with a heart-pounding mystery.

Unfortunately, Xiao Bei had no idea what to make of these strange words. He even suspected that the old man had turned the treasure map into a tongue twister.

At the same time, Beili was anxiously trying to pull the old space dweller's hand away, but to no avail.

From the old space dweller's puzzling whispers, Xiao Bei could sense that there seemed to be some huge secret hidden behind all this, but at this moment he could only endure it awkwardly and try to piece out some clues from it.

But every word was like a moving maze to him, and he was desperately searching for the exit.

The old space dweller suddenly let out a series of creepy laughs, and then his eyes turned clear, as if he had instantly broken free from his unconscious state.

He whispered softly, as if talking to himself: "There is a secret within the mystery, and there is a turning point."

A huge wave rose in Xiao Bei's heart, and his expression suddenly became solemn. He seemed to have realized a key point.

However, the old spaceman suddenly let go of his hand at this moment, and slowly retreated with a strange pace, disappearing beyond the light and shadow.

His final words echoed in the air: "Puzzle Solver, when you wake up, the world will turn around." Seeing this, Bei Li hurried forward to check Xiao Bei's wrist, rubbing it distressedly: "Brother Xiao Bei, are you okay? This old lunatic is really strong! What nonsense he said, I don't understand a word!"

Xiao Bei shook his wrist and sighed helplessly: "That's right, it's harder than the reading comprehension I took in the college entrance examination! Darkness is not black, light is not light... Is this a word game? A broken mirror cannot be round, so what can be whole? Could it be referring to... glutinous rice?" As he spoke, the soft and chewy glutinous rice appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little hungry.

Bei Li chuckled and reached out to touch Xiao Bei's forehead: "It's already this hour, and you're still thinking about eating! But then again, this old man looks crazy, but his skills are so good, he must be no ordinary person."

Bei Li's words awakened Xiao Bei. He no longer dwelled on the literal meaning and began to recall the strange runes he had seen in the space magic weapon.

Those runes twisted and turned like tadpoles. At that time, he was just dazzled and didn't take them seriously at all.

Now that I think about it, the old space dweller's state just now and those runes seem...

Some strange connection?

"Wait! I think I understand!" Xiao Bei slapped his thigh suddenly, almost jumping up in excitement. "Darkness is not black, it means that the dark attribute spiritual energy is not true darkness. Light is not light, it means that the light attribute spiritual energy is not pure light! A broken mirror cannot be round, so how can it be complete... It refers to the two extremes of yin and yang! Only when yin and yang are in harmony can we achieve perfection!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, feeling like he was possessed by Conan. There was only one truth!

He took out the runes he had copied down before, and compared them carefully with the old space user's words, and found that these runes could correspond one by one to his inference!

"Beili, look!" Xiao Bei pointed at one of the runes and said excitedly, "This rune represents dark spiritual energy, but there's a small rune next to it, which represents... Devouring!"

Beili leaned over to take a closer look and indeed, discovered the small rune. Her eyes widened in surprise, "Devour? So, dark attribute spiritual energy isn't just darkness, but can devour spiritual energy of other attributes?"

"That's right!" Xiao Bei nodded affirmatively. "The same is true for light and non-light. Light-attribute spiritual energy can be transformed into spiritual energy of other attributes! And these two attributes of spiritual energy are the key to forming the two poles of yin and yang!"

He took a deep breath and felt himself getting closer to the truth.

He looked up at the direction where the old space user disappeared, muttering to himself: "The world is turning upside down again... Could it be that..." He suddenly turned his head to look at Bei Li, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Could it be that this space magic weapon... can be opened again?!"

Bei Li also realized something. She covered her mouth and looked at Xiao Bei in shock: "Brother Xiao Bei, what do you mean..."

"Shh..." Xiao Bei made a gesture for silence, staring at the front with burning eyes, "Someone is coming..." Just as Xiao Bei was thinking seriously, a slight rustling sound came from the distance.

Those were the footsteps of the old space dweller. He walked slowly out of the shadows again, his previous crazy posture changed, and his eyes seemed clear and deep.

Xiao Bei's heart trembled slightly, knowing that under the crazy appearance, there was a wise man who mastered endless secrets.

"You've solved the puzzle," the old space dweller said softly, his voice as ethereal as the night wind. "Very good, very good. You've lived up to my expectations." He smiled faintly, like a bright moon plucked from the sky, reflecting a new light. "Since that's the case, I will give you a deeper mystery."

Xiao Bei's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this. He stared at him closely, afraid of missing any details.

At this time, Bei Li had already jumped up with joy, threw herself into Xiao Bei's arms, and patted his shoulders excitedly, "Brother Xiao Bei, you are so awesome! I knew you could do it!" The full admiration burst out of her eyes, making Xiao Bei both enjoy it and feel a little embarrassed.

"The secret hidden in the space magic weapon lies in those seemingly disordered runes. They are the key to time and the bridge to a larger space." The old space master's voice was erratic, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Xiao Bei's heart.

There was an indescribable weight hidden in his words, which made people hold their breath.

“To master it, you need not only courage, but also patience and wisdom.”

Xiao Bei nodded slightly, already having an idea in his mind. He secretly engraved these words in his heart, knowing that they were an important guide for his journey of exploration.

Beili looked at Xiao Bei thoughtfully again, then looked at the old space dweller who disappeared in the distance, and his heart was filled with anticipation and longing for what would happen next.

The old space dweller turned around and resumed his previous distant demeanor, "Take care of yourself, this is just the beginning." Before he finished speaking, he walked step by step towards the deeper shadows, as if merging with nothingness, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Xiao Bei and Bei Li looked at each other, and they saw the joy and determination after solving the secret in each other's eyes.

He gently pinched Beili's shoulders and said, "Beili, we should continue." There was a firmness in his voice, as if no matter how difficult the journey ahead was, it could not shake his faith.

The air was still and quiet, and the words of the old space dweller seemed to echo around, lighting up the moment like fireflies.

They leaned on each other, taking firm steps towards the unknown, each step they took like a step into a new world.

The road ahead may be difficult and unknown, but the fire of exploration that has never been extinguished is already burning in my heart.

They know that there are still countless secrets waiting to be revealed in the future journey, and this starting point, like a new movement, will lead them to another chapter of their extraordinary journey.

Not far away, Xiao Bei and Bei Li followed the clues and came to a new area.

The sky here is slightly bright, and in the misty fog, you can vaguely see a wide variety of rare and exotic materials, and the brilliant colors seem to be surrounded by a mysterious halo.

The treasure-like existence made Xiao Bei's eyes sparkle with desire, but he also knew clearly that this was not a paradise that could be easily reached.

As expected, before they took a step forward, they felt the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuate violently, as if some invisible force was resisting their entry.

The flowers and plants suspended in the air began to flicker, and actually began to weave layers of restrictions, isolating them from the treasure.

"This restriction doesn't look simple." Xiao Bei pondered, raised his hand, and tentatively emitted spiritual energy. As soon as it came into contact, the restriction came back like a flood, almost making him lose his balance.

"Brother Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li waved his little fist nervously to cheer him up.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly, knowing that he couldn't retreat.

He quickly adjusted his mind, summoned all the optimized abilities given to him by the system, and merged the various attributes of spiritual energy in his body to form a flowing shield, trying to resist the invasion of the ban.

However, while observing secretly, Xiao Bei keenly realized that this restriction was not just blocking them.

Its complex structure and unpredictable composition seem more like part of a larger puzzle.

Xiao Bei realized that if he wanted to break through this restriction, he had to find more hidden clues to complete the puzzle.

Xiao Bei temporarily restrained his spiritual energy, pursed his lips and thought.

There seems to be some kind of guidance hidden in the ancient and profound atmosphere of this place.

Looking at the scene in front of him, his mind suddenly brightened. He held Beili's slightly cold hand tightly and whispered, "Beili, let's explore deeper. Maybe there are more things here that we haven't seen." His eyes were sharp, but the expression on his face showed a little mysterious expectation of being eager to try.

This time, they will embark on a more unknown journey, and the moment to solve the complete puzzle may be just around a corner ahead.
