Going up to the top of the ancient tower, the space has obviously returned to the normal height of three meters, which is not much different from ordinary houses. The dome is circular in shape, and all sides are covered with quaint green bricks, with some mottled traces.

It was empty, and the one with his back to Long Ye was an old man, slightly rickety, sitting cross-legged, only one end of Hua Fa could be seen.

Long Ye suddenly had a feeling: the family was surrounded by walls, lonely and helpless.

Regarding the appearance of Tatsuno, the old man did not turn back, and was always staring at the huge word 'Dao' on the front wall.

The yellowed rice paper is three meters high, flush with the ring of the dome, and nearly five meters wide, just hanging from the main wall.

The word 'Dao' written on the yellowed rice paper is not as majestic as imagined, on the contrary, it is a bit of random graffiti, although the handwriting is neat, but there is no surprise.

The word 'Dao' occupies a huge space on rice paper.

The old man crossed his knees three meters away, staring intently at the word.

Long Ye didn't make a sound, silently walked to the old man's side, and also looked at the Dao word in front of him intently.

It wasn't until I got closer that I realized that the word in front of me was not as simple as I imagined.

Huge Dao characters, each stroke has countless small Dao characters, condensed and gathered into a stroke.

Each of the small to the naked eye is difficult to perceive the strokes of the Tao character are different, without the slightest repetition, staring at it for a long time, all the small characters are actually given life in an instant, running around on the rice paper, but it is always a Tao word.

When you retract your gaze, everything is still again.

Tatsuno is a little weird, it's a bit of a three-dimensional painting.

Glancing back at the old man, the old man at this time was not moved at all, still staring intently at the ancient characters.

Pursed his mouth, he didn't care about it, stepped forward slowly, and gently touched the rice paper, which is actually an ordinary rice paper common in the world, rich in a certain degree of toughness and elasticity, even if the endless years have passed, it still maintains a certain degree of toughness.

I thought that what could appear here must be something extraordinary, but the result was very different.

I looked at the words again, and I still felt a little warm, as if the ink had just been written.

It was precisely because of this that Tatsuno had to be surprised.

No matter how good the rice paper is, no matter how good the words are, it is impossible to maintain the endless years, after all, the time of the ancient pagoda's existence has long been traceable, but except for the traces of a little yellowing of the rice paper, everything is as new.

Approaching and constantly looking, it may be blocking the old man's sight, and he doesn't like it.

"The trial of the ancient tower, the real difficulty is not in the nine floors below, and here, don't think that if you successfully reach the top, you will be able to see everything, your road is still very early. ”

"Yes, yes, the seniors taught us. Tatsuno smiled and stepped back to the old man's side again.

"This is the real test of Guta. ”

"What did the seniors see from that?"

"Wind, fire, thunder and lightning, water, wood, flowers and plants, can be described as all-encompassing, containing the supreme avenue, only when you understand it thoroughly, you can truly know the mystery. The old man said disdainfully.

But the heart is completely turbulent.

The ancient tower stopped the footsteps of countless living beings, among whom there were some supreme powers, but none of them had reached the top in just a few hundred years like Tatsuno.

It's a miracle, unprecedented.

It's just that Long Ye doesn't know, and the old man naturally won't say it, which will make him seem inferior to Long Ye.

"In other words, you can only leave if you break the situation in front of you?" Tatsuno frowned, after all, there was a slightly magical calligraphy work in front of him, although it was magical, but he didn't know what the test was.

"You think. The old man squinted at Long Ye, and was very dissatisfied with Long Ye's condescending attitude.

embarrassed to cross his knees beside the old man, and also let go of his heart and constantly imprinted the word Dao.

The Divine Infant is also constantly deducing.

Gradually, the word Tao is changing in consciousness, one to three, three to ten thousand...

Each Dao character is composed of countless runes, and it is precisely in this way that the Dao character is given life, and it can freely evolve all things in time.

The wind is howling, or caressing.

Rainwater falls, gathers into a trickle, then gathers into a river, and then into a river and a sea.

There are plants and trees growing, and there are thunder and lightning raging, destroying endless vitality and giving birth to new vitality.

Tatsuno was fascinated, deeply immersed in it, and couldn't extricate himself.

There is no deliberate imprinting of these evolutions in consciousness, but the evolution of all runes.

This is the true meaning of runes, where the great meaning can be seen in the subtleties, and the mysteries can be seen in the simplicity.

The sky is full of runes, one by one, simple, independent of each other, but inextricably linked, scattered for the stars, the sun and the moon, mountains and rivers, flowers, grass, fish and trees.

Gathering is the world, the universe.

There is yin and yang, there are five elements, there is darkness and light...

Everything is in it.

Stretching out his hand, light up a rune, and then the surrounding runes will gradually change, one to ten, ten to hundred...

Tatsuno is deeply immersed in it, all the mysteries of evolution time, waving his hand can become the sun and the moon, covering his hand can shape the mountains and rivers, everything is under control, this is no longer a matter of strength.

Creation of all things, deducing the cycle of life and death.

It's like a dream, but it's real.

A single thought can destroy thousands of stars and billions of worlds.

That's the power of runes.

Each rune represents a kind of power, a kind of avenue.

The avenue is deep, and the avenue is simple.

The old man was stunned and frightened, as if he was sitting next to a peerless beast, forgetting the mystery of the Taoist characters, and even forgetting his own pursuit.

He looked at Tatsuno blankly.

The original yellow rice paper is still the same, but the Tao characters on it are gradually decomposing, and the small Tao characters are constantly evolving, reorganizing or dismantling in the void, and then reuniting again, each time it changes, there will be a different light and shadow space.

Everything is so nothing, but it's real.

After exploring the mystery of the Taoist word for countless years, it was broken by a young man in a moment, how sad. At the same time, it can also be seen that Tatsuno's attainments in the rune side surpass those of the rune masters in the world.

Ridiculous, lamentable, and pathetic.

The nine-layer trial of the ancient tower is actually not what the old man said, it must be completed in full, and you only need to complete the nine-layer trial before you can leave, but after the nine-layer trial is truly completed, the external obstacles can be completely ignored.

As for wanting to borrow the Starry Sky Ancient Road, it is indeed necessary to unravel the last mystery of the Tao.

The old man has been staying here, delving into the mysteries of it, and for countless years, he has also gained and comprehended all kinds of mysteries.

Of course, for a period of time, the old man also thought about the runes, but the old man himself was not a rune master, and it was worth giving up, and then delving into the ten thousand ways of the world contained in it, and naturally interpreting it.

But I don't want to go for years without results, and the more I delve into it, the more difficult it is to extricate myself, until I choose to stay here, vowing to solve the mystery in it.

As Long Ye guessed, the old man was not unable to leave, on the contrary, he could leave at any time, but he was obsessed and no longer wanted to leave.

The mystery of the word Dao not only stopped the old man, but also stopped countless strong people before that, and most of them stopped there.

Many great powers have even spent their entire lives studying the meaning of Taoism here.

Many of them have already exhausted their longevity and fallen in the ancient tower, and there are also many great powers who have chosen to leave and become overlords.

But more of them are here forever.

The word Dao has a magical nature, and the more obsessed you are, the more difficult it is to extricate yourself.

With his mouth open, he stared at the scene in front of him incredulously.

The dry yellow rice paper gradually became fireless and natural, and it looked good when it was raised, the flames were ethereal, with divinity, and the black mixed with the gray-white ashes fell to the ground.

The original words have all disappeared.

Tatsuno was still obsessed with deducing the Taoist characters, completely oblivious, and he didn't know what was going on outside.

Be in ecstasy.

All changes do not deviate from their origins, and all ways return to the source.

When all the tiny runes in the mind are condensed, it is a universe.

One party is the only one.

The word Dao is imprinted in the body of the Divine Child.

Tatsuno opened his eyes unsatisfied, only to find that the yellowed rice paper was long gone, and there were only traces of burning on the ground.

stared at the old man with big eyes and incredulous: "Why did the seniors destroy this word?"

The old man choked and turned his head, not wanting to see Tatsuno's innocent eyes.

"How good is this, ruining the Dao character means that you can't complete the trial. Tatsuno was dumbfounded.

The old man was eager to find a crack in the ground at this time.

Tatsuno stood up, annoyed.

At this time, a storm was set off in the empty ancient tower, but it was not strong, and a whirlpool-like wind wheal enveloped Tatsuno, but it could not break free.

The old man finally looked back at Tatsuno.

"The kid was so self-conscious before, since the ancient tower trial has been broken by you, it doesn't make much sense for me to stay, if there is a fate in the future, I can see each other. ”

"What the seniors mean is that I have already cracked the mystery of the Dao word. ”

The old man shook his head, "Let's realize it yourself, maybe you can walk out of a road of your own." ”

"Thank you, senior, see you in the future, I invite seniors to drink. ”

The old man smiled kindly and stepped back slightly, avoiding the whirlpool wheal.

There are circles of dust and mist in the ancient tower, and there is a light flashing on the ground at the top of the tower.

The dome is still the same.

With a wave of his hand, Tatsuno's figure gradually merged into the wheal, and then disappeared into nothingness.

The old man's eyes lifted slightly, looked at the empty dome, grinned again, shook his head, turned around and went down the steps of the ancient tower, step by step.

Since then, there has been no sign of the old man and Long Ye in the ancient tower.

Eighteen, Chixiao and the others had long forgotten the existence of Long Ye and the old man at this time, and they cultivated like crazy demons and broke through.

In the cold and boundless universe, there is a vast blue starlight, and each starlight is a big world, endless, extending to the depths of the universe.

There are many worlds that have fallen silent and lifeless, and many more are indeed prosperous.

An ancient road that has survived forever is interspersed in these large worlds.

This is the legendary Starry Sky Ancient Road, an ancient road that can prove the emperor and become a god.
