Tian Yuan

On the jade platform, the two looked at each other.

A person sat in the center, dressed in white, like a fairy descending to the earth, spotless.

A man stood at the edge, his clothes were torn, he was covered with scars, and his breathing was disordered.

The two formed a sharp contrast.

However, no one would laugh at Luo Liuyin's embarrassment at this moment. Both on their faces and in their hearts, they were full of admiration.

Most people don’t know what kind of hardships Luo Liuyin has gone through, but judging from his injuries, it must have been extremely difficult and dangerous.

"He... managed to stand there."

Looking at Luo Liuyin's bloody back from afar, Lao Hei, Huang Xingyan and others were all stunned and surprised. It was beyond their expectation.

"It's not unfair that Lao Chang lost to him."

Lao Hei said in shock.

The 'Old Chang' he mentioned was none other than Chang Ziqiu, one of the guest elders of Qing Sect and also a close friend of Chen Qingyuan.

Many years ago, Chang Ziqiu and Luo Liuyin had an unexpected battle, and Chang Ziqiu was defeated and fled after only ten rounds. Fortunately, Luo Liuyin did not intend to kill him, otherwise Chang Ziqiu would not have been able to escape.

"This evildoer from the Linqian Imperial Clan is truly terrifying."

The powerful people from all sides looked in the direction of the Taoist temple, unable to hide their emotions and exclaiming continuously.

"If I had not been born in the same era as Your Majesty, with Luo Liuyin's talent and heart of Taoism, he would have ascended to the throne. Alas!"

Someone sighed.

Not only Luo Liuyin, there are also more than a handful of peerless monsters. In the past era, they would have been very likely to become emperors and create a legendary story.

However, since he and Chen Qingyuan were in the same era, he was destined to never reach the pinnacle. He could only look up from halfway up the mountain and become a witness of the ultimate prosperity.

Everyone present stared with their eyes wide open, fixed on the jade platform in the center of the dojo, fearing that they would miss something exciting if they were not careful.

"I admire you for coming this far."

Chen Qingyuan and Luo Liuyin looked at each other for a long time, smiled with relief, and spoke sincerely.

Logically speaking, Luo Liuyin's body has reached its limit, and he would surely die if he forced his way in.

However, in order to climb onto the platform, he took out the Taoist power of his ancestral weapon that protected his body, used it as a springboard, and broke through the confinement.

Luo Liuyin said nothing, dragging his tattered body, staggering forward, leaving behind a very eye-catching bloody footprint.

Although he was moving forward, Luo Liuyin's eyes were not looking at the ground, but were always staring at Chen Qingyuan, never leaving for a moment.

His determination to follow the Tao was firm and he never wavered from beginning to end.

Such people, even if they have less talent, can still achieve great things and will not remain unknown.

"call--"

Chen Qingyuan raised his right hand and waved it gently.

A set of exquisite and flawless tables and chairs appeared in the open space in front of him, only three feet away from where he was.

The tremendous power on the jade platform no longer exists, otherwise Luo Liuyin would not be able to move.

"clatter!"

After going through the ordeal, Luo Liuyin's feet were bare, his shoes were broken, his soles were bloody and there was no intact part to be seen.

Slowly, he walked in front of Chen Qingyuan.

"sit."

Chen Qingyuan pointed to the empty seat.

They were willing to risk their lives to go up to the Jade Platform, just to be able to sit down and discuss philosophy with Chen Qingyuan.

Therefore, Luo Liuyin sat down and looked at each other without any hesitation.

What happened today will be recorded in the books by the powerful people of all races, and will be recorded in the history books forever.

"Crash..."

Immediately, Chen Qingyuan picked up a pot of fine wine and poured two glasses himself. The wine fell into the cup, the crisp sound of the water echoed in the ears, and the rich aroma floated in the nose.

Chen Qingyuan flicked his fingers lightly, and sent a glass of fine wine to Luo Liuyin through the air, saying with a smile: "Please have it."

"gollum"

Luo Liuyin picked up the glass of wine and put it to his mouth.

As the wine went down his throat, the rich spiritual energy instantly enveloped Luo Liuyin's body.

A strange thing happened. Those shocking wounds healed in just a few breaths.

The injuries suffered were greatly alleviated.

From now on, Luo Liuyin will only need some days of recuperation to fully recover without any hidden dangers.

This cup of wine combines several precious medicinal herbs and a few strands of Chen Qingyuan's original spiritual charm. It is not difficult to stabilize the injury.

After drinking the wine, Luo Liuyin felt his body was getting better quickly. His eyes flickered a few times and his emotions fluctuated obviously. He didn't expect that Chen Qingyuan would help him. It was really a surprise.

However, Luo Liuyin did not say thank you, but looked puzzled, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Why?"

"I have a lot of respect for my opponents, especially one as strong as you."

Chen Qingyuan seemed to have guessed that Luo Liuyin would ask the question, so he did not give any slow answer.

Then, he added, "In addition, Chang Ziqiu is my close friend. You fought with him in the past and showed mercy to his men. This glass of wine can be regarded as a thank you gift."

When he heard the name Chang Ziqiu, Luo Liuyin immediately thought of the past. His lips opened, then closed tightly, as if he was about to say something.

"Why are you so persistent?"

It was Chen Qingyuan's turn to ask questions.

"Become stronger."

Luo Liuyin's answer was very simple and reasonable.

Chen Qingyuan said: "Everyone wants to become stronger, but no one is as crazy as you. If it weren't for the Taoist power of your ancestral artifact, you would be a corpse now."

Luo Liuyin: "Only by becoming a truly strong person can you control your own destiny. If you die on the road to becoming stronger, it would be a relief."

The two looked at each other, and Chen Qingyuan caught a peculiar emotional fluctuation in his eyes. He couldn't help but think of some stories about Luo Liuyin, who was forcibly sent to the trial site by the clan leaders when he was young.

Out of thousands of blood relatives, only one person survived in the end.

Others will not understand the suffering that one has to endure during this period.

Only by becoming stronger can we avoid this situation from happening again.

That tragic trial battle has become Luo Liuyin's obsession, and it will be difficult to get rid of it in this lifetime.

"You are already strong."

Chen Qingyuan acknowledged the other party's strength.

"not enough."

Luo Liuyin said in a deep voice.

"How far do you want to go?"

Chen Qingyuan asked again.

"Before, I wanted to prove my truth, but now... I will devote all my energy in this life to see if I can catch up with you."

When saying this, Luo Liuyin couldn't help but think of another person, the terrifying existence who defeated him, which made him feel a strong despair.

Luo Liuyin recognized the reality and knew that he would never be able to ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor in this lifetime. However, he would not give up and would continue to climb higher.

As long as you are still alive, you must practice diligently.

"How about discussing the Dao through chess?"

Chen Qingyuan suggested.

If we really compete in strength, Luo Liuyin can be suppressed with just two slaps at most.

Making friends through chess can not only give Luo Liuyin some respect, but also help him understand the path he has taken through the chess game and seek inspiration from it.

"can."

Luo Liuyin was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.
