Chapter 6404: Downstream
Fang Yu walked slowly to the riverside.
The river flow was still as fast as before.
Fang Yu carefully observed the surroundings, trying to find something different from before.
But after observing for a while, he did not notice anything unusual.
Everything returned to the way it was when he first arrived at the ninth floor of the Qiankun Tower.
"Touching the river flow caused everything on the ninth floor to stop... After being awakened, when I entered the ninth floor again, the me who was in a static state in the past stayed there, and everything else was running normally."
"In that state, there were actually two me on the ninth floor. One was the me who was static because I touched the river flow in the past, and the other was the me who entered the ninth floor at that time."
"It feels like... the appearance of the second me broke the originally static ninth floor, or refreshed the scene of the ninth floor, allowing it to start a new round of operation?"
Fang Yu touched his chin, frowning.
At first, before he touched the river flow, he felt that the river flow might symbolize the long river of time.
Now it seems that no matter whether the river flow is the long river of time, at least... the entire ninth floor test must be related to the law of time.
Just as Fang Yu had thought before.
If he had always left a past self in his prime here, then... no matter how he operated the laws of humanity in the outside world, no matter how tired his body was, he could recover through the ninth floor.
But this kind of thing is essentially reversing time.
A long time ago, Fang Yu had used the Eye of the Great Dao to try to reverse time on a small scale.
At that time, he was warned by Lihuoyu.
Everything is related to the law of time, especially things like reversing time... Once you do it, you have to bear the backlash of cause and effect!
Of course, Fang Yu has heard too much about the backlash of cause and effect.
It's as if he has to bear the cause and effect for everything he does.
This led to Fang Yu's feeling that there are many causes and effects but they are not overwhelming, and he is not so afraid of the so-called backlash of cause and effect.
"Don't think about the law of time, the backlash of cause and effect, the key is... if my idea can really be implemented, then... doesn't it mean that I haven't broken through the ninth floor, but I have already gained the benefits of the ninth floor?" Fang Yu thought to himself.
There are nine floors in the Qiankun Tower, and every breakthrough can get certain gains, which has been verified in the past.
When Fang Yu reached the ninth floor, he was actually confused and didn't know how to pass the final test of the ninth floor.
But by accident, he found that the ninth floor could bring him great benefits!
This is not in line with the past rules of the Qiankun Tower.
"No matter how much, while Leng Xunshuang is still outside, let's quickly verify the assumption." Fang Yu looked at the river in front of him and thought, "What if it can only be used once? That doesn't mean anything."
The gray river flow continued to flow downstream.
This time, Fang Yu did not carefully reach into the river flow, but jumped directly into the river flow.
The reason for doing this is that he realized one thing.
No matter what... Qiankun Tower will not harm him.
At least it will not let him lose his life here, or be trapped here forever.
After all, this place is his own cultivation system, which exists for him.
If he dies here, Qiankun Tower will lose its meaning of existence.
Under this idea, coupled with the previous attempts, Fang Yu's behavior became much bolder.
He wanted to immerse his entire body in the river to see if there would be any changes!
"In fact, have you ever thought that the Qiankun Tower might also devour its master... so you might really die here."
Fang Yu had just jumped up when he heard Li Huoyu's faint voice.
"Devour its master?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
But at this time, his feet were about to touch the river.
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier..."
Fang Yu cursed loudly.
Then, Li Huoyu's voice stopped abruptly.
Fang Yu immersed his feet in the river first.
Then his legs, upper body, head... until his whole body invaded the river.
At this moment, Fang Yu felt a suffocation first!
His vision was pitch black.
This situation was completely different from the feeling when he reached out to touch the river before!
When he reached out to touch the river, the entire ninth floor, including himself, was still in an instant.
But this time, he felt that he was wrapped by the river and was heading downstream!
However, Fang Yu was a little excited when a different situation occurred.
No matter what new situation appears on the ninth floor, it is a good thing for him.
After all, he will break through the ninth floor sooner or later. If he always dares not to try... then he will never be able to break through the ninth floor!
Whether it is going downstream or upstream, it is an attempt!
"Where will the river flow take me?" Fang Yu was looking forward to it.
Although his vision was pitch black, and he even felt a little dizzy.
But it was this feeling that made him know that he was moving with the river flow.
After an unknown period of time, this feeling eased.
It was as if the flow rate of the river flow had become much slower.
Fang Yu knew that he might have reached the downstream area of the river flow!
However, his vision still did not recover.
Until the dizziness was gone, his vision was still pitch black.
"What's going on? I'm not going to be trapped here, am I?" Fang Yu was a little nervous.
He tried to move, but... just like when he was immobilized before, he could no longer feel the existence of his body, let alone move.
Fang Yu maintained this state for a long time.
"Where is Leng Xunshuang? Haven't I shown any abnormality yet? Why haven't you woken me up yet?" Fang Yu's heart sank.
He had already told Leng Xunshuang before entering the Qiankun Tower.
If Leng Xunshuang saw that he was abnormal, he would definitely find a way to wake him up.
But Fang Yu was not awakened, which means... it is possible that he cannot be awakened.
There is another possibility, that is, in the eyes of Leng Xunshuang outside, he is not showing any abnormality now.
No matter which possibility it is, it is not good news for Fang Yu!
Thinking of what Li Huoyu said when he jumped into the river...
Qiankun Tower devours the master...
This kind of thing of devouring the master usually happens to the natal magic weapon, and it is only possible to do it if the weapon spirit with intelligence has been nurtured.
The magic weapon and its master must be highly integrated, and the master must trust the weapon spirit extremely, so that there is an opportunity.
Therefore, as far as Fang Yu knows, there are very few cases of master devouring.
Qiankun Tower devouring the master... sounds even more like a fairy tale.
After all, even if Qiankun Tower has a spirit, it must not be a spirit with consciousness, so how can it devour the master?
However, in this situation, even if Fang Yu thinks it is unlikely, he can't help but feel a little worried.
"Splash..."
Just then, Fang Yu suddenly heard a sound of water.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt his body lighten.
The feeling of the body came back!
Then, Fang Yu felt a hand grabbing his arm and pulling him up from the river.
At this time, Fang Yu's vision was finally restored!
The first thing he saw was a row of bamboo rafts floating on this gray river.
On the bamboo raft was a white-haired old man.
His face was full of wrinkles, he was wearing a simple robe, and his eyes were almost closed.
But he seemed to be able to see everything.
It was he who stretched out his hand and pulled Fang Yu up from under the river.
Fang Yu looked at the old man in front of him, and his heart was shocked.
He had never thought that he could see other people in the ninth floor of the Qiankun Tower!
Who is this old man?
"Come up."
The old man suddenly spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, and he also showed a sense of old age.
Fang Yu immediately climbed onto the bamboo raft.
"Thank you for pulling me up from the bottom of the river." Fang Yu stood on the bamboo raft and looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man sat on the other side of the bamboo raft, slightly raised his head, and seemed to be looking at Fang Yu.
"I don't know... what is your identity, old man? Why are you here?" Fang Yu asked.
The old man showed a smile on his face.
"Sit down."
Fang Yu did not hesitate and sat down cross-legged directly.
At this time, he looked around, and then he was stunned.
On one side of the bank of the river, the white stone land disappeared, replaced by woods and green grass, full of vitality.
And the originally pale sky has now become blue sky and white clouds, with plenty of light.
Except for the river itself which remains grayish white, all other scenes have changed!
