Chapter 187 Far Away?

Far away at the horizon, yet right before your eyes?

Hu Di and Xu Di looked at Wei Yuan in front of them, first stunned for a moment, and then suddenly overjoyed. They clapped their hands and laughed loudly, saying, "Hahaha, yes, yes, I forgot about this. You swallowed the Yin-Yang energy into your body like crazy just now. Although it hasn't been completely refined yet, it's equivalent to planting a seed."

"A seed that will eventually sprout in the future."

"Naturally, you haven't been able to completely absorb and accommodate it yet, but one day you will resolve it. When you completely dissolve the origin of this Yin-Yang energy, your Gongti (cultivation method) will naturally possess the concept of acquired Yin-Yang. Then, learn the skill of [Reversing Yin and Yang] from Fu Xi and Nüwa. Hehe... your strength will probably rise to another level."

"At that time, this so-called Great Tribulation will just be something you can eliminate with a wave of your hand."

Hu Di's face showed a smile, and then he straightened his chest slightly, saying:

"But, Fu Xi and Nüwa are both Dao Fruit level existences after all."

"Reversing Yin and Yang is an absolute skill that they would never pass on to others. You are still young and may not have a good relationship with them, but don't worry, I can write you a letter of introduction, stating the stakes in it. The two of them are also reasonable."

Speaking of this, Hu Di's voice paused, and his face twitched slightly, not knowing if he was thinking of a certain reasonable snake渣 (scumbag). He coughed and added, "At least Nüwa is reasonable. With my letter, she will definitely believe you, and you can learn what you want to learn from her."

After speaking, he straightened his back, looking like an otherworldly expert, pretending not to look at Wei Yuan, but couldn't help but glance over, with an expression that said, "Come and beg me, come and beg me."

Wei Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Actually, I don't need to beg at all.

I just need to say a word about this matter, and Nüwa will tell me. Hmm... after all, I am one of the human race.

As for that scumbag snake, saying it would definitely be useless. Even if he knew it was good for Nüwa, he would have to fight me first. Whether he wins or loses, he will definitely tell me the power of reversing Yin and Yang.

But looking at Hu Di in front of him, with white hair reaching his waist and a face full of "Come and beg me" expression.

Wei Yuan still raised his single-handed sword finger to his chest, nodded slightly, and smiled:

"Then, I will have to trouble you, senior."

The expression on Hu Di's face relaxed immediately, and he laughed loudly, saying, "Hahahaha, don't worry, young man, don't worry about anything. Just leave this matter to me."

Then, he used his own power to conjure paper and pen in this slowly collapsing dream, and then wrote a letter of recommendation earnestly, saying that this was a good kid and so on, and that he had discovered the location of the Great Tribulation, that the rotation of Yin and Yang was too intense, and that Nüwa, your injuries haven't healed yet, so you don't have to take action yourself.

I, the old man, think this young man is pretty good, and he also has Yin-Yang energy in his body, so why don't you pass on a trick or two to him, so as to eliminate the Great Tribulation and save yourself from running around and taking risks.

After writing this letter, Hu Di left his unique mark on it.

Then, he also had Xu Di leave his mark on it as well.

He then handed it to Wei Yuan, but just as he was handing it over, he suddenly thought of something, and the expression on his face was slightly stagnant and embarrassed. He shrank his hand back slightly, and said a little cautiously, "But, we are just dream bodies after all, maybe, maybe Nüwa won't recognize our letter..."

Wei Yuan reached out and took the letter, saying, "Nüwa is not that kind of person."

"If she knows that in such a distant dream, there are still friends like you who are worried about her, she will only feel happy."

Hu Di was silent for a moment, scratched his head, and smiled, saying, "Is that so? That does sound like something she would do."

He then took out a scroll exuding a mysterious aura, like a manual, stroked it, seemingly reluctant, seemingly nostalgic, sighed, and then handed it to Wei Yuan, saying, "Take it, kid."

Wei Yuan saw that the scroll was sealed intact, and he could vaguely see the traces of the words protruding through the back of the paper. It was the same as the letter that Hu Di had given him earlier. He subconsciously asked, "What is this?"

Xu Di, who had a cold expression on the side, said indifferently, "Naturally, it is our心得 (insights) during this period."

"Hou Tu used her own Gongti (cultivation method) foundation and Dao Fruit to suppress the core of Yin and Yang."

"In this dream, we can be considered neighbors with this Great Tribulation for several thousand years. We naturally have enough understanding of the Great Tribulation's surges, changes, and the flow of Qi. Although it is said to be a Great Tribulation, its essence is just the out-of-control Great Dao of Yin and Yang circulation. This can also be considered a classic left behind by our experience."

"It can also be regarded as a guide to breaking the Great Tribulation."

"Fu Xi and Nüwa's [Reversing Yin and Yang] is naturally profound, but you don't think that you can just use this mythical concept without understanding the Tribulation itself when facing the Great Tribulation, do you?"

Xu Di's tone was cold, completely different from the tall and thin old man that Wei Yuan knew.

"For something completely unknown and extremely dangerous, naturally, the more you understand it, the more confident you will be."

"It was originally prepared for Nüwa and Fu Xi."

"But now it seems that the person who will ultimately resolve this tribulation is probably you, so I will give it to you."

Wei Yuan stroked this manual, vaguely understanding why only Hun Tian was there when he and Xi Huang came here. It turned out that Xu Di and Hu Di had been observing the operating laws of this Great Tribulation for this period of time, working hard to completely resolve this tribulation in the future.

With Wei Yuan's understanding of them, it is really hard to imagine that the Xu Di and Hu Di, who by nature like excitement and fun, would patiently do the same thing in this dream for a full thousands of years, and then record the insights of their observation into a book.

Wei Yuan said, "Aren't you planning to go out from here?"

The Daoist asked in a gentle tone:

"Although it is a dream, it can be transformed into reality, and with cause and effect, there may not be a way to continue living."

The Xu Di and Hu Di in this dream looked at each other, and then laughed together.

Finally, the white-haired Hu Di patted Wei Yuan on the shoulder, with a smile, and said:

"Don't worry, don't worry."

"We'll talk about these things later. Eating is more important at this time."

"I heard that your cooking skills are far more superb than your swordsmanship. Although there aren't that many good ingredients here, you still have to show off your skills. Rather, anyone can cook well with good ingredients."

"Only this kind of cooking without rice can show your skills."

This dream was already in a state close to collapse, but Xu Di and Hu Di actually managed to find all kinds of ingredients, including the last fish in the remnants of the pond, half a handful of green vegetables left in the corner, and some millet.

Wei Yuan gathered these things together. Although he only had one arm left, he still easily made a meal, stir-fried green vegetables, half of the fish braised and half steamed, the most tender part made into fish sashimi with sword Qi, millet made into millet rice, and a pot of murky wine.

Even though the conditions were simple, Wei Yuan's cooking skills had already reached the point of turning decay into magic.

This simple meal was still fragrant. Hu Di's eyes were about to light up. If the cold-faced Xu Di next to him hadn't held his head down, he would have already started eating. Finally, they set up a whole table, and the three of them sat down. Hu Di couldn't wait to take a bite of the fish, squinted his eyes, shook his head, and then reached for the stir-fried vegetables, still full of praise.

"Good, good."

"That Hun Tian, didn't praise you for nothing."

Xu Di explained concisely, "Hun Tian has praised you many times in front of us."

He couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks as well. After eating several pieces of fish sashimi in a row, he said a little embarrassedly, trying to maintain his composure, "The dream is ambiguous, the tea tastes clear, but the food and drink are fragmented. We have been here for thousands of years without eating anything."

"Although we don't need to rely on these things to survive."

"But the desire for food is still unavoidable."

Hu Di drank wine, and asked with a satisfied laugh:

"By the way, Wei Yuan, do you know me outside?"

Wei Yuan nodded, "Of course I know you."

Hu Di, with white hair hanging down to his waist and a vermilion mark between his eyebrows, straightened his chest and said, "How is it?"

"Is that me also so romantic and unrestrained?! Still so handsome?!"

Wei Yuan recalled Hu Di, the old man who appeared at every critical moment and reversed the situation with his skill of transforming falsehood into reality, and nodded with a smile, "Naturally so."

"Romantic and unrestrained."

Hu Di laughed loudly, pointing at Xu who was eating silently in front, "Is this guy also so boring?!"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "Not really, Xu Di is now with a junior in the human world, named Huo Qubing. That child's personality is very lively, and Xu Di can't be boring anymore."

Hu Di laughed heartily, seeming extremely satisfied with this future, looked at the wine glass, and said:

"There's not much wine left."

"Come, drink!"

Wei Yuan raised his glass, and the three clinked glasses. When Hu Di was drinking, he began to shatter from his sleeves, like a melting of ice and snow. This feeling of instantaneous melting spread in an instant. In just a moment, Hu Di, who had white hair hanging down and a jade-like appearance, was as weak as a bubble, and part of his body had already shattered.

And the Xu Di on the other side was the same.

The previous Xu Di was gulping down the food, seemingly to satisfy his appetite.

But now it has become blurred.

And Hu Di, who had previously seemed casual and natural, staggered back, sat on the blue stone chair, looked at his shattered left hand after blurring, and held the wine glass in his other hand, his expression natural, peaceful, and calm, just looking at the murky wine, and murmured leisurely, "A great dream, finally waking up, hahahaha, I am actually the last one."

Xu, who was stuffing food into his mouth, replied, "Bullshit."

"I'm still here."

Hu Di laughed.

Raising the wine to Xu on the other side, the ancient great Emperor chewed with a smile:

"The last glass of wine, to you and me for these six thousand years."

"Six thousand seven hundred and forty-two years, seven months, and three days of observing the operation of the Great Tribulation without sleep, food, or drink."

"Successfully delivered the things."

Hu Di said, "Respect this dream, respect this fine wine."

He raised his glass to Wei Yuan and smiled, "Thank you for coming here."

Xu Di said softly, "Thank you."

They smiled at Wei Yuan, and then stood up, their sleeves slightly drooping, their right hands on their left hands, and gave a slight salute.

When they got up, they dissipated as if they were blown away by the wind.

Like figures in a dream that should have dispersed when they woke up.

Before that salute, Xu was still eating, and Hu was smiling and drinking.

Only Wei Yuan was left in this dream.

He held a glass of murky wine, looking at the chopsticks scattered on the table on the left and the overturned wine glass on the right. This was just an ordinary courtyard, not big. He thought that Hun Tian had been here for these thousands of years, listening to the noisy sounds outside, with a cup of tea in front of him, deducing something while watching his friend who had lost his memory in the dream walk past on the opposite street.

Greeting him with a smile every day.

And Xu and Hu were observing the source of this Great Tribulation.

Returning in shifts every day, listening to Hun Tian and Hou Tu chat about that Yuan.

Wei Yuan finished the last of the wine, and said, "Respect to all of you." When he was drinking, he subconsciously closed his eyes. The fragrance of tea was still in the courtyard, and the delicacies were still there, but he knew that when he opened his eyes, there would no longer be a man in a gray robe smiling and talking, nor would there be the smiles of those two ancient great Emperors.

Zhenyao Museum

Kai Ming had always been focusing his mind tightly, guarding the concept of the ten directions inside and outside, and also guarding the nine heavens.

But no one had returned. Suddenly, accompanied by bursts of trembling sounds, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then saw that the Nine Heavens Gate suddenly skyrocketed in spirituality, and then slammed shut, directly losing the original concept of the ten directions, and the previous causal position could no longer be captured!

Kai Ming's expression changed drastically –

Lost the position?!

What this represented made Kai Ming's expression change drastically. He subconsciously thought of Wei Yuanjun's future, and took a step forward, shouting subconsciously: "Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan!"

"Big Sister!"

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to control the concept of sitting and seeing the ten directions, but still couldn't get any response.

Until the end, Kai Ming's face became more and more ugly.

This, this is... the ten directions concept is reversing and collapsing, and there is also the aura of extreme calamity. He can't sense Wei Yuan's aura anywhere... Could it be that he really died like in the original timeline?! Kai Ming's face was very ugly. As long as he thought of something happening to Wei Yuan, something happening to Xi Wangmu, he would feel a kind of suffocation.

Moreover, how is he going to explain to the others?!

Ding Dong

The sound of the bell on the museum door was as terrifying as a reminder at this moment.

A gentle voice: "Yuan, are you there?" Kai Ming's expression froze.

Jue, is back.
