Martial World's
Ch 1858 - Old Youth
…
…
…
This young man did not have an aura of Laws around his body and his foundation was mediocre. His cultivation was not high, but as he sat there to fish, he seemed to blend together with the surrounding environment in perfect harmony.
Lin Ming hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the young man.
The young man clearly sensed Lin Ming's approach. However, he continued fishing like before, sitting on the side of this lake that was like a well that had never been touched.
"Is there a fish here?"
Lin Ming suddenly asked. His understanding of the Law of Existence had reached a very high limit and he could sense that this lake had no vitality at all. There is no life in it, and there are not even plants in the water or shrimp or fish in it. It's impossible to fish anything here.
"none. ”
The young man's voice was slightly gloomy, with no emotion at all.
When the young man spoke, he did not look. Lin Ming could see the hand of the young man grasping the fishing rod. Her hands were as beautiful as a woman's hands, her ten fingers were slender and her nails seemed to be made of crystal. While holding the fishing rod, he looked stable like a statue.
On his right thumb, there was a simple jade ring. This ring had a Lawe engraving inside, it looked mysterious yet very simple.
"If there's no fish, what are you fishing for?"
Lin Ming asked, puzzled. He could confirm that this young man was completely unusual. This was a pure thought based on his intuition.
“Fishing for Concepts. ”
The same gloomy voice said. Listening to youth made people feel strange.
"Concept of Death?"
Lin Ming asked back. In this lake that had no vitality at all, what he possessed the most was the Concept of Death. If one were to try to understand the Concept of Death here, it was actually possible.
But there is only one possibility. Compared to the temple platforms in the Fallen God Mountain Range, the difference in the Concept of Death that was there and here could not even be described as heaven and earth. The concept of Death here is too shallow.
The young man before him had a mysterious identity and was definitely not an ordinary human. However, he was still fishing here for a Concept. This made Lin Ming confused.
What can be felt here? It's just a dead lake.
But Lin Ming did not rashly respond. He carefully sensed the Laws around him and decided that there was nothing strange about them. The location of this area was ordinary, near the outer boundary of the forest, and the nearby ferocious beasts were not strong either. At the bottom of the lake are some dead animal corpses, but most have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years and have been turned into fragile fossils. The animals were also ordinary creatures when they were alive.
Combining all these factors together, this was still just a very ordinary dead lake.
Although Lin Ming had already determined the specifics of the lake, he had not randomly drawn any conclusions. He simply asked in response, "Is there anything special about this lake?"
The young man shook his head, “Nothing special; this is quite ordinary. ”
Then, the young man put down the fishing line and turned around.
Looking at this young man's face, an expression of astonishment flashed in Lin Ming's eyes.
The young man's eyes were dirty and dirty. Only an old man on the verge of death would have such eyes.
Although the young man had a bright and bright complexion, Lin Ming could feel endless years coming out of his body, as if he had walked here from the beginning of time.
It was as if ...hidden within this young man, there was an incredible old soul.
"You are…"
Lin Ming involuntarily stepped back, maintaining the absolute guard of his surroundings.
He felt that it was no coincidence that he met this old young man here.
But, he did not know who this old young man was.
The young man looked towards Lin Ming and did not respond to his shock. Instead, he started saying, “Your sense of purpose is too strong. The things that are valuable to you, you will pursue. But things are worthless, you will give up. For example, this lake. If you have passed this lake, I'm afraid you won't let him see it at a glance. ”.
Lin Ming was silent. This is how it should be. Not just him, but every normal person in the world was basically the same.
Even for the prominent monks of Mount Potala who have gained enlightenment, even though they stand far from the world and do not pursue any desires or emotions, the journey itself can be called a pursuit.
The young man looked at Lin Ming. Although Lin Ming's image was not even reflected in his dirty eyes, Lin Ming still felt as if he had been completely seen.
Lin Ming held his breath, completely controlling his mind and raising his bodyguards to the limit.
"Senior, who are you?"
Lin Ming changed his regards. The young man simply looked at Lin Ming and shook his head.
“Your life can be called breaking through all the obstacles in your path, moving forward with unstoppable momentum. You desperately rushed towards the pinnacle of martial arts and you far surpassed all of your generations. From the moment you bloom, you take a few detours.
“But to get this you also lost something. The path of martial arts was more than the most mysterious and greatest of the Heavenly Dao Laws. There are also ordinary everyday experiences. You lost part of your path … "
"Like this lake?" Lin Ming quietly asked. He could sense that the words of this old youth contained some supreme truths. But, he could not immediately understand everything.
The young man gently smiled, not directly replying, “Your path might be called too smooth. In the past you may have experienced some setbacks, but that is far from enough. You are invincible among your peers. In battle you sing nothing but victory and have defeated many rivals. It can even be said that you have never experienced a true defeat. But, that might be your limit, making it difficult for you to step onto the peak of martial arts! ”
The young man's words were like a bolt of lightning striking Lin Ming's mind.
Have you ever experienced a true defeat?
In Green Mulberry City, he had lost emotions for Zhu Yan and had lost Lan Yunyue.
In Divine Phoenix Island he was forced to flee by Xuan Wuji and became a fugitive in the Holy Demon Continent.
After that, when he visited the four heavenly Kingdoms he had been plotted against Yang Yun and almost his body was snatched away by the Ancient Devil.
And when he reached the heavenly Realm, he had fought Tian Mingzi twice, knocking on the door of death twice.
And from the words of the youth, this was not an actual defeat, but just a minor setback.
“For the person whose martial arts path is too smooth, for the person who is not forced to take a detour, for the person who does not sing songs other than triumphant chants, for the person who is not forced to take a detour, it was easier to fall into a bottleneck, making one forever unable to step onto the peak of martial arts. ”
Lin Ming realized what this young man had said and did not continue trying to figure out who he was.
He knew that if this other person intended to reveal his status, he would naturally know.
And at this moment, the young man was already standing.
He's lifting the fishing line. The ring on his thumb emitted a phantasmal green light. As he looked at Lin Ming, a thoughtful and attractive light shone in his eyes.
Lin Ming and the young man looked at each other. This person's dirty eyes left a deep impression on him.
"Are you especially waiting for me here?"
Lin Ming's mind was cold. To come face to face with someone of unknown origin whose strength far exceeded his strength, he naturally felt uneasy about it.
But the young man just gently smiled and disappeared without a word.
He stepped into the lake and disappeared into the mist.
Lin Ming took a deep breath. This mysterious old youth filled him with deep fear and fear.
"Brother Lin, that person .. scary …"
After the old youth left, Lin Ming heard a shy voice echo in his mind; it was Ruby.
"What do you see?" Ask Lin Ming. Maybe Ruby already saw things she couldn't do.
"I don't know .. I don't even dare to look at him. I hid and was too afraid to breathe, because he might find me … "
Ruby said, trying to gather her scattered wits.
"Mm .. I understand. Don't show up so often in the future … "
Ruby's words left Lin Ming with some faint guesses.
He quickly asked the trial challenger in the Akashic Dream Battle and confirmed when the Akashic Dream Battle Battle would be opened again. He also discovered that he had been here in seclusion for a full 16 years.
In other words, adding on the time he was on the temple platform understood the principles as well as the three years he spent in the Akashic Dream Battlefield, he said, he has been in the Akash Dream Universe for 32 years.
To Lin Ming and the other long-lived martial artists, 32 years was only a blink of time. But, this was actually almost half the time until the great calamity of mankind would descend.
War can break out at any time.
Lin Ming left the Akashic Dream Battlefield and re-entered the Fallen God Mountain Range. This was the meeting area he arranged with Sheng Mei. As long as he returned here, Sheng Mei would get news about it.
The meeting of Lin Ming and Sheng Mei was so that he could return the golden page to her.
"You seen him?"
Sheng Mei arrived in the middle of the night, appearing right behind Lin Ming.
Lin Ming's brows curved. He turned to look at her.
At this moment, Sheng Mei was wearing a deep crimson-colored long robe, her eyes seemed to contain shattered stars. Against the background of the night, she was like an umbral goddess, exuding a mystical and noble atmosphere.
The night wind was blowing gently. Sheng Mei's robes fluttered around her. The atmosphere is terrible. It was difficult for Lin Ming to say what he thought from his expression.
"Him? The mysterious young man? ”
Sheng Mei's question confirmed Lin Ming's conjecture. But, this confirmation sent a chill crawling through his spine.
Sheng Mei's silence was the same as nodding her head.
"I saw it ..." Lin Ming took a deep breath. He looked at Sheng Mei, his complexion had changed. "That old young man .. is the Soul Emperor?"
