Chapter 358 An Acquaintance

After Wei Yuan obtained the token hidden by Lu Wu, he faintly sensed a way to go to another Kunlun, the area controlled by the Kai Ming beast. To be honest, this was the first time Wei Yuan had encountered such a special dreamland as Lu Wu's.

It was clearly a dream born from the true spirit.

Yet, it could allow his physical body to enter it.

It could clearly accommodate entities.

Yet, it possessed the ever-changing characteristics of a dream.

With just a thought, he could change the dream.

At this moment, relying on the guidance of the token, a path to another Kunlun Mountain in another world was opened in front of him. Wei Yuan even suspected that as he walked forward, he was no longer in a dream, but the surrounding environment was always shrouded in a thick, heavy cloud of mist. Wei Yuan couldn't see where he was going or what the scenery on either side was like.

However, the Kai Ming beast...

Wei Yuan pondered, recalling the most secretive and unknown of the three Kunlun gods in his mind. After obtaining the Kai Ming beast's approval, he could return to the human world to take office under the Western Queen Mother. He had even passed Lu Wu's test, so this Kai Ming beast shouldn't be more difficult to deal with than Lu Wu, right?

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady had been walking along, her face thoughtful. Finally, she couldn't help but speak,

"Wei Yuan."

"Were you... pitying the gods just now?"

"Pitying the gods?"

"Are you talking about Lu Wu?"

Wei Yuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "No, not pity."

"I hate the personality of a mature Lu Wu, but I also recognize and respect his achievements."

"What I regret is not the later Heavenly God Lu Wu who has established countless achievements and legends, nor the Kunlun Three Gods who command the Nine Divisions of Heaven, but his childhood experiences."

"I think I can understand a little now."

"Why Lu Wu is the one who formulates rules and order among the Kunlun Three Gods."

"He also grew stronger from a weak state, so he knows that order is the best way to protect the weak. The powerful gods and companions who maintained justice, whom he looked forward to in his weak childhood, never appeared, so after he grew up, he chose to become the strong one who maintained order himself."

"Of course, that's different from me wanting to beat him up."

"There's something wrong with this guy's rules."

"I was actually very happy when I beat up his divided spirit just now."

"Of course, watching the divided spirit get beaten up is actually even more satisfying, after all, I don't have to do it myself."

"It would be even better if I had a serving of cream popcorn."

Wei Yuan jokingly added, and finally, after thinking for a while, sighed:

"But if you have to ask me why I did this, I can't explain it clearly either."

"Probably because I'm human."

"Compassion, everyone has it."

Wei Yuan scratched his head and said, "I think his childhood experience is worth sighing and pitying."

"There is no conflict between that and me wanting to pin the grown-up him on the ground and beat him up."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady looked at Wei Yuan, thoughtfully.

They continued forward.

They didn't know how long had passed, and gradually, it seemed that they had left Lu Wu's dream.

Because Wuzhiqi, Kua Fu, and others could no longer appear outside after leaving that special trial dream, Wuzhiqi, who had finished fighting, happily returned to the bottom of the Huai River, and then saw that his game screen had turned gray, and the expression on his face slowly solidified.

He was so angry that he was about to die because of the so-called 'Dragon and Tiger Disdain Super God'.

How could there be such a strange guy in the world?

How could he play a 0-34-0 record?!

Well, actually, this was because Wuzhiqi himself had been refusing to surrender, struggling to maintain the situation.

But how could such a stinky operation have the nerve to be called a Dragon and Tiger who disdains becoming a Super God.

Even pulling a cat over would play better than you!

That day, Wuzhiqi, who was impulsive from the beginning, refused to surrender.

In the end, he was so angry that he was speechless, and when he chose to surrender, the other side refused to surrender.

They were pulling each other to the limit.

After the fight that day, they sprayed each other wildly, and today they agreed to a one-on-one duel.

As soon as he started, Wuzhiqi knew that the other side was the guy who had played 0-34 before, not the substitute who came later that day, so he felt relaxed and treated it as beating a noob, but he never expected to be dragged into a dream by Wei Yuan. At this moment, Wuzhiqi looked at the gray screen and fell into deep thought.

And at this time, the other side sent a comment.

"Not bad."

Wuzhiqi: "............"

Hardened, hardened, his fists hardened.

..................

He had no idea that the Huai River's Calamity Bringer had once again fallen into a passionate flame war.

He also didn't know how long they had been walking. The white jade token in Wei Yuan's hand finally lit up slightly, and after walking dozens of steps forward, the thick cloud of mist around them finally dissipated. Wei Yuan's pupils shrank slightly. Before him was a path only a step wide, with bottomless abysses on both sides. Huge energy currents flowed within them, flickering and emitting a powerful pressure.

In the lucid dream, Kua Fu saw this scene and was shocked, unable to speak for a long time.

"This is, Kunlun..."

Wei Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air: "Yes, and it is Kunlun's Southern Abyss."

"Eight hundred *li* in circumference, ten thousand *ren* in height. There is a tree on it, the *muhe*, five *xun* in length, five spans in circumference."

"There are nine wells, with jade as the railing, and nine gates on the face."

"The Western Queen Mother represents Kunlun's majesty, Lu Wu represents Kunlun's order."

"And the Kai Ming beast represents Kunlun's secrets."

"Back then, Yu came to visit with the merit of suppressing Gonggong, but he was not able to get the Kai Ming God to open a side and tell him the secrets behind the Nine Heavens Gates. Even the gods of the Kunlun God system can only go outside the Heavenly Gates. There is still a Gang Rock hanging in the sky and earth, and almost no one can go up."

Kua Fu said, "Almost no one?"

Wei Yuan nodded and replied, "Yes, only Da Yi went up."

Kua Fu was shocked, and then sighed in realization: "Da Yi... it's him again."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said calmly, "The Rock of the Eight Corners, on the edge of the Red Water, only the benevolent Yi can ascend the Rock of the Gang."

"That's what's recorded in the files."

"Benevolent Yi."

Kua Fu was thoughtful: "Is it because of benevolence?"

Wei Yuan said strangely: "No, of course not..."

"Well, although this sentence is in the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, it is actually recorded in the Kunlun classics, so it was directly copied down, but Kua Fu, think carefully, the word *ren* at least expresses friendliness and closeness, right?"

"Then what about Yi?"

"All the way from the south to the north, from the east to the west, in the era of Emperor Yao, whenever something went wrong, Emperor Yao would shout 'Da Yi', and then Da Yi would go to solve the problem, or rather, solve the guy who created the problem. He even shot and killed nine sun gods. Feng Bo, who had helped Xuanyuan in the past, was beheaded for causing trouble."

"Whether it was Xiushé,鑿齒(Zaochi), or 九嬰(Jiuying), the evil gods were all killed. At that time, it was a bloody reputation. Such a person is awe-inspiring, but cannot be described as benevolent, so think carefully about that sentence..."

"Only the benevolent Yi can ascend the Rock of the Gang."

Wei Yuan sighed.

Just this sentence.

And then look at Da Yi's fierce record.

No matter how Wei Yuan looked at it, he felt that this sentence was full of sarcasm.

Kua Fu was stunned.

Kua Fu pondered.

Kua Fu subconsciously looked at Xing Tian next to him.

Kua Fu was silent.

"...I seem to understand something..."

Wei Yuan murmured with emotion:

"However, even Da Yi, who made a name for himself as a god of slaughter, only reached the Rock of the Gang in the end, unable to go any further. Even from the Kunlun records, he is the only one who has ever been here throughout the ages, and it can also be inferred that the strength of this Kunlun Heavenly God, who rarely shows up, is extremely terrifying."

"I didn't expect the visitor to know these secrets."

"Is that a compliment?"

"If so, then I will gladly accept it."

A voice as gentle as jade came, and Wei Yuan's expression was solemn, knowing that he had entered the domain of the Kai Ming beast. He simply looked calm. The Kunlun Nine Heavens Gates suddenly became extremely distant, and the clouds under his feet turned into solid ground. In front of him, a refined young man in white clothes nodded with a smile:

"Are you here to participate in the trial?"

Wei Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and nodded in response.

"Tushan Tribe, Yuan."

The youth transformed by the Kai Ming beast seemed extremely surprised, and repeatedly praised,

"It's you... rare, rare. Lu Wu would actually let someone come over. Especially to let you come over, could it be that he has changed his temperament?"

"The trial takers in previous years were all defeated at his gate. Those who can come here are few and far between."

"I am very optimistic that you can pass."

He shook his head, seemingly very interested in what happened to Lu Wu, but quickly restrained his emotions and smiled:

"...Since you're here, then there's no need to talk much."

"I will send you to the place of trial."

Wei Yuan was stunned.

"Wait, the rules..."

The youth transformed by the Kai Ming beast smiled gently: "There are no rules."

"Purely self-enlightenment."

With a wave of his sleeve, it seemed that a gate opened suddenly before Wei Yuan's eyes. This body was based on his life in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, transformed into the appearance of Chen Yuan, which could support Wei Yuan's sword intent, but the mana was a weakness. In addition, this was originally for the sake of trial, and for a time there was a huge pressure that was difficult to resist.

Wei Yuan subconsciously showed sword energy in his palm, and then forcibly suppressed this instinct.

His eyes blurred, and he entered the door.

Immediately, he noticed something was wrong—

Kua Fu, Xing Tian, that Kunlun goddess, and even the connection of Zhu Jiuyin.

It was interrupted.

The corner of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

*Ding*. Your cheat device has been discovered by the examiner.

Kunlun Trial version updated.

Fixed a Bug where a certain Yuan stuffed a bunch of people inside a vest.

Wishing you a pleasant trial.

............

In front of the Kunlun Nine Heavens Gates, the youth in white smiled and looked at the true spirits of intent that were intercepted in front.

"Long time no see, Xuan Nv, Xing Tian, is this Kua Fu?"

"I heard Yi say about your chasing the great sun. I didn't expect to meet you in such a situation."

"And... Zhu Jiuyin."

The Kai Ming beast stared at the gray-robed man and smiled:

"Long time no see."

Kai Ming beast, insightful into all things, knowing the past and the future, guarding the Heavenly Gates, deterring all spirits.

Zhu Jiuyin's expression was calm, and he didn't seem surprised by this situation. He said:

"...What is the trial you gave him?"

Kai Ming smiled and said: "A favor."

"A favor?"

"Not bad."

"In this trial, he should be able to meet the traitor who betrayed Qi and Yu back then, but whether he can seize this opportunity depends on himself. Therefore, I will tentatively sell him a favor."

Zhu Jiuyin's expression was calm: "Selling him a favor."

"So, the price is to prevent him from becoming the Lord of Kunlun in the human world?"

The Kai Ming God was slightly stunned, and then shook his head and sighed: "...You are always so keen."

"However, you don't seem worried about him?"

"Naturally."

Zhu Jiuyin's tone was calm: "Wei Yuan has always been surprising."

"Is that so?"

"Always surprising."

The Kai Ming beast was thoughtful, then smiled and spread his hands: "But I'm not human."

"Never mind these. Everyone, it's rare to have guests in front of the Nine Heavens Gates. During his trial, I will entertain you. Please..."

..................

*Classic of the Western Mountains*, Kunlun Mountain.

The thunderous sound gradually stopped, and Lu Yi felt a little more at ease in his heart. He dispelled the Kunlun gods who were surrounding him and let these gods go to deal with the mountain gods and water gods outside. This time, it was rare for a living being from the human world to challenge the trial, so it was a major event.

But Lu Wu happened to be asleep, so the matter fell on his shoulders.

He finally arranged it.

Lu Yi exhaled a breath of stale air and relaxed a little. He turned his head and was slightly stunned.

He saw the originally quiet Lu Wu slowly open his golden eyes.

In those eyes, the light of divinity was as always.

Lu Yi was stunned, and then overjoyed. He said, "Your Honor, you have woken up..."

Lu Wu's expression was slow and peaceful:

"So that's how it is... Lu Yi, was I asleep?"

He was silent for a moment and muttered to himself, "I seem to have..."

"Had a strange dream."
