this infinite world

"If you push forward the Eight Diagrams, it will become the Nine Palaces, and if you push the two rituals backward, it will transform into chaos..."

After saying goodbye for a moment, Yang Yun gently lay back in the embrace of the River of Life. His body floated gently on the water, and he closed his eyes, trying to use the mysterious power contained in the river to promote his body to grow again. He kept mumbling those two sentences in his mouth, and it seemed that in his heart, these words had some special meaning that required him to chew and think over and over again.

The secret of the great road is like this. Although the tone of this sentence is shocking, considering the identity of the speaker, it does not seem so surprising. After all, the speaker is that person - the founder of cultivation, the human race The first of the Three Emperors, the Human Emperor Fuxi.

The four major elements, earth, fire, water and wind, are the basis. The forward reasoning is to push the Five Elements and Bagua into the Nine Palaces, reaching the limit of destruction of the universe. It is also the basis for the enlightenment of that person, the Four Symbols and the Five Elements and Bagua array; the backward reasoning is to combine the four images into As one, push the two qi of pure and turbid qi, and then combine the two qi into one and turn into chaos, dating back to the beginning of the world... In one sentence, two roads to the highest are clarified. It really deserves to be like this Big tone.

"However, I just want to reach the fourth intermediate level."

In this quiet water, time seems to slow down. The surrounding water reflects silver luster, sparkling, and shines with a quiet and mysterious light. This soft light made Yang Yun's face dim and uncertain between shadow and light, but it also perfectly reflected his focused and thoughtful expression.

——Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, so what if it’s the secret of the great road? Raising the level to such a high level all at once has no effect on my current situation.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Yun finally smiled freely and did not think about this so-called "secret of the great road", but turned his thoughts in other directions.

——Looking at it this way, Setsuna is right to be afraid that this sentence will disturb my thoughts. Even I, who know many secrets, have been disturbed. If Chu Xuan or Qi Tengyi find out, I don’t know what will happen. What's going on... It's so lofty and unreasonable.

However, the information in the moment cannot be worthless. The previous explanations of the perfect body and the light of the soul have inspired Yang Yun to a certain extent. Compared with the secret of the great road that follows, it is the sentence about Fei The method used by orthodox cultivators to break through to the fourth level is more valuable.

Breaking the pill into a baby and molding the Nascent Soul into a perfect body is a feasible path. However, now, another problem is placed in front of Yang Yun.

That is, even if Yang Yun is determined to make a breakthrough, all the cultivation techniques in the Lungominiad database can only be cultivated up to the golden elixir!

It's not that there are no higher-level cultivation techniques in the human city, but the fourth regiment was performing combat missions rather than missionary tasks at that time, so it didn't bring higher-level cultivation techniques with it before leaving. After all, generally speaking, it can It is enough to practice to the fourth level of the golden elixir stage... But the problem is, Yang Yun is not an ordinary person.

In this magical place called the Lord God Space, as long as one can survive mission after mission, the level and strength of the gene lock will simply inflate like a balloon. Just like what Setsuna said before, Yang Yun had grown from a third-level level to a level comparable to that of Xin Bi'an in just two short worlds, and he was fully qualified even to serve as the leader of the fourth regiment... And The most frightening thing is that there is also Zheng Zha in the Zhongzhou team whose unlocking speed is about the same as that of Yang Yun, let alone Zheng Zha, the clone of the Demon team.

Thinking of this, Yang Yun rolled over in the river of life depressedly, burying the lower half of his face in the silver river water, constantly thinking about the possibility of this method in his heart. Ideas kept popping up in his mind, only to be rejected.

It was already nightfall, Liuli returned to the Hall of Heroes and fell into a long sleep again; and Setsuna returned to the core control room of Lungominiad after bidding farewell to Yang Yun. Yang Yun was the only one left in the river.

——But tonight, it is destined not to be peaceful.

Immersed in the river of life, Yang Yun thought he could enjoy a quiet time without being disturbed, focusing on his inner thinking and physical recovery. However, the sound of slight footsteps broke the peace. His heart moved slightly and he instinctively raised his head.

Yang Yun originally thought that Setsuna had come back, maybe because he forgot to tell him something, or because he had discovered other information. But when his sight passed through the water and saw clearly the figure of the person coming from the shore, Yang Yun couldn't help but be stunned, because what appeared in front of him was not the moment he thought, but a person he had not expected.

"Zhao Yingkong?"

Yang Yun immediately changed his posture from lying down to sitting in the river, and looked at Zhao Yingkong who came here by elevator: "Why are you here?"

"... Sister Setsuna told me that you are here."

Seeing Yang Yun's body soaking in the water, Zhao Yingkong's eyes flashed with a different emotion, as if he was wondering whether he should also enter the river of life. But after thinking about it, she finally sat on the shore, looked at Yang Yun and said: "I know what preparations the other me made before Resident Evil 2."

"Uh……"

Yang Yun's words were not easy to accept, because out of respect for Zhao Yingkong's privacy, he did not ask either Setsuna or Zhao Yingkong about what happened between them, and he did not know what the "Song" plan meant. The essence of the Zhao family assassin that was created was just that Setsuna had performed an operation on Zhao Yingkong. In the end, he could only reply: "I thought she had already explained everything to you when she said goodbye."

"She did make it clear, but that's another matter."

Zhao Yingkong shook his head and stared at Yang Yun's face, which made Yang Yun feel an inexplicable pressure in the water. After thinking about it, he said: "Why don't we go up and chat, this always feels weird... "

"In another memory of mine, when she was training on that island, she would often catch fish in the water for food."

Suddenly, Zhao Yingkong said something that surprised Yang Yun. She raised her hand, gestured with her fingers, and said seriously: "Most of the time, she uses branches, and sometimes she also uses her fingernails."

Yang Yun didn't say a word, because firstly he didn't understand what Zhao Yingkong was going to say, and secondly he could tell that Zhao Yingkong had inexplicably entered memories at this time. Just listen to the assassin girl continue: "Although I have her memory, I have never paid attention to it... At that time, she could freely use the fourth level of power."

"But now, I haven't even opened the fourth-level gene lock. Even after unlocking the third-level gene lock, I can only use the power of another me to cause harm to Yuri."

"You don't actually need to envy her power. Before she left, she had entrusted all her power and future to you. The two of you are one and the same, regardless of each other."

Yang Yun roughly understood what Zhao Yingkong was thinking, and immediately spoke to dissuade him: "Besides, to be fair, your fourth-level power does not belong to you, but is the product of the 'Kong' plan. The more you use this power, the more The stronger you become, the closer you are to your inner demons... Although you don't have to worry about genetic defects and incomplete spiritual light now, if you care too much about this aspect, you will inevitably fall into your inner demons - —”

"I understand, but I don't have much time left." Suddenly, Zhao Yingkong interrupted Yang Yun's words. She lowered her eyes and said firmly: "Just now, I took it from her hand. A mission…my mission.”

... "Actually, you don't need to be too eager for success."

Under Zhao Yingkong's explanation, Yang Yun quickly understood everything that happened in the infirmary.

Just considering the circumstances under which another Zhao Yingkong left these words, Yang Yun naturally understood Zhao Yingkong's mood at this time. After hearing the words, he comforted: "For those who have past memories, the light of the soul also For you, Yingkong, who has no regrets, returning to the fourth level is just a matter of time..."

"No, there's no time."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yingkong shook his head, and without any hesitation, he directly spoke what was in his heart: "I can feel that in the next team battle, I will meet that man."

Ah this...

Zhao Yingkong spoke so categorically that Yang Yun was speechless for a moment. Although this sentence has no basis, the arrangement of fate is often more reliable than the so-called "basis", and there may really be something between this pair of brothers and sisters who are linked by fate that transcends time and space. induction.

——Does this mean that in the next game we will not only face the Celestial Team, a group of breeding teams, but also the East American team?

Thinking of this, Yang Yun also understood Zhao Yingkong's intention of coming to him tonight: "So, do you plan to end it alone with Zhao Zukong next time?"

"I'm just doing what I have to do and what I did in Resident Evil 2, that's all."

After Zhao Yingkong accepted all the memories of his other self, the name Zhao Zukong no longer had the same violent emotional fluctuations as in the past. However, after all, this name carries too much past and memories. Even in her current state of mind, it is impossible to be completely indifferent.

When she heard that familiar yet distant name, Zhao Yingkong couldn't help but feel a slight fluctuation in her heart. Although her reaction was calm, it was still difficult to conceal the emotional change at that moment - her long eyelashes trembled violently. , like gentle ripples on the lake, affecting her calm center of the lake.

Zhao Yingkong, who realized that she had lost her composure, lowered her eyes again in an instant, but Yang Yun had already seen through this action what she was thinking.

"You know very well that I can't let you act alone, especially for this reason."

Yang Yun, who realized the significance of this conversation tonight, emphasized the words "acting alone" with great emphasis: "After all, I am the captain of the Zhongzhou Team, and I have to be responsible for every member of the Zhongzhou Team."

"But I am a member of this Zhongzhou team." Zhao Yingkong answered without hesitation: "Before you act privately, you must get the captain's permission. Even the other me has abided by this rule... and according to my instructions to you Understand that you will not raise objections.”

"Can it be the same? The other clone of you and Zhao Zukong went to hell together in the battle in Resident Evil 2. She had long been determined to die. I just gave her a chance. Didn't you also Are you planning to come out?"

Yang Yun covered his forehead and suddenly felt speechless: "So, this is the reason why you came to me late at night?"

"Because it is impossible to hide it from everyone in the team." Zhao Yingkong replied calmly: "But Yang Yun, you are different. If I convince you here in advance, there is a high chance of completing my mission." Target."

"Isn't this something you can say?"

Yang Yun's eyes gradually became suspicious, so he said deliberately: "Did Setsuna help you with the idea?"

Sure enough, as these words came out, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Zhao Yingkong's face. Seeing this, Yang Yun could only shake his head: "I knew it."

"indeed so."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Yang Yun, Zhao Yingkong admitted it openly: "She said that this is the only way for me to achieve my wish."

——Did Zhao Yingkong think of me too exaggeratedly, or did Setsuna put too heavy a filter on me... Or maybe she simply didn't like Chu Xuan?

——Well, maybe the last one is the most likely. After all, it has been more than ten years since Chu Xuan came back last time, and her anger doesn't seem to have diminished at all... What did that guy do?

Yang Yun looked at Zhao Yingkong speechlessly, and said helplessly: "You know that I can't agree, even if it takes a moment."

"But you don't understand anything at all." Zhao Yingkong emphasized: "Since you don't know what kind of mentality the other me has towards death and what kind of path I have chosen, you shouldn't stop me. The decision now——"

"I may not know, but I can know now because that's your responsibility as captain."

Yang Yun sighed, and with a flash of green light on his body, he flew straight into the air maintaining his original posture, turned in a semicircle in mid-air, and landed next to Zhao Yingkong accurately, without missing a beat: "As for the Zhongzhou team, Captain, I cannot let you enter the battlefield with this mentality."

"That's the battlefield that belongs to me." Zhao Yingkong turned her head, her eyes cold and unyielding.

"Even if it is your own battlefield, my thoughts will not change at all."

Yang Yun's tone remained unchanged: "Tell me about it, Yingkong, I can feel it. You made such a decision not just because of another person's entrustment..."

"Deep in your heart, there is still a haze that has not been erased." (End of Chapter)
