Was I blind? As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I was completely bewildered...
"Hey, Xianxian, don't mess with me!" At that moment, I was genuinely a bit panicked. Everything around me was pitch black; I couldn't see anything. Did something happen to my eyes while I was unconscious?
But my eyes didn't hurt at all.
"Hehe..."
At that moment, I heard a laugh from someone else. It sounded like Pei Zi. "Brother Pei, are you here too?"
Pei Zi chuckled again, sounding quite helpless. "Immortal Brother, are you saying I'm blind too?"
Hearing this made me feel strange. Xianxian burst into laughter without any restraint: "Just teasing him, it's really not interesting!"
"What the hell, are you really messing with me!?" At this point, everything was clear. I wasn't blind! However, even though I couldn't see anything here, I knew this place was definitely not where we had been struck before. At least when I was buried under the ice after being hit, there was ice all around me; now, aside from the ground beneath my feet, I couldn't feel any ice nearby.
Hehe, Xianxian was grinning foolishly, and that laughter made me want to punch him!
"Where exactly is this place? And how did we end up here?" I couldn't help but ask.
"This Lord will tell you. First of all, I don't know where this is either, haha." Xianxian smirked and continued, "But there are only four of us here. To be honest, we just arrived and know nothing."
"Just me and you, along with Lime and Brother Pei ended up here for no reason?" I was astonished. "Wait, we weren't all crushed to death, were we!?"
"I thought about that just now too, but it seems unlikely!" As soon as Pei Zi finished speaking, Xianxian chimed in: "I agree with that. Do you really think all four of us would be the first to die?"
Xianxian's meaning was quite clear: there were so many people with us at that time. Although we scattered due to the collapse, we couldn't have gone far. Our strength might not be extraordinary, but among that group of people, we were considered top-tier. It was impossible for us to have died while none of them did. So perhaps it meant we weren't dead?
"I don't know..." Xianxian's voice was somewhat heavy.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly felt a slight vibration, not from the ground, but from the air!
Immediately after, a soft light suddenly descended from the sky. That bright white gentle light felt like the light of Buddha, and in an instant, there was a sense of solemnity and reverence. I stared unblinkingly at the light that had suddenly appeared, and in my peripheral vision, I finally saw the other three people. The four of us were still standing in the same positions as before, at the four cardinal directions of Southeast.
A breath of ancient and profound history filled the entire space, overwhelming me. For a moment, I even thought I had crossed time and space back to the primordial era. No words could express my feelings at this moment; standing there in awe, all I could say was that it was astonishing!
The four of us quietly looked at each other, with no one speaking. The wait was torturous, and for us, it could be said that we were "suffering yet enjoying" it!
In this frozen world, it seemed that everything happening was beyond my expectations, especially that prophecy and the ice figures!
In fact, it would have sufficed for either one to appear. What did it mean for those here to create four ice figures identical to us?
Could it be... could it be for this moment!?
For the four of us to appear here? What exactly did those people want to express? Since they had already anticipated our arrival, why didn't they set up some difficult traps instead of allowing us to reach this place so easily?
While I was puzzled, suddenly, an ancient sigh echoed through the void, faintly reaching my ears. I abruptly raised my head and looked toward that soft light. Within the gentle glow, nothing else seemed to appear; however, I could vaguely see a shadowy figure.
"Who?" Xianxian asked warily.
"I am the Diviner," unexpectedly came a response after Xianxian's question. The voice seemed to come from a very distant place, and just listening to it gave me a strong sense of antiquity.
"Did you bring us here?" Pei Zi asked calmly, his voice clear.
"Yes." The voice was again very ancient and profound. "You four are chosen ones of my clan. Your presence here today indicates that that thing is no longer safe. Alas, fate cannot be defied; yet we people insist on going against heaven."
Hearing this voice, it seemed to belong to an old man, so I asked, "Old Senior, could you be from the Demon Clan? This place is also..."
"Where are they?" Just after I finished asking, I heard Lime's voice, which rarely showed any fluctuation, trembling slightly at this moment, seemingly excited yet fearful...
No one responded. I continued to gaze at that light, feeling as if the sound was coming from there. Sure enough, at that moment, the vague shadow in the soft light gradually became clearer, revealing an old man with white hair and a long beard dressed in white. The old man's face bore the weight of time, but his pitch-black eyes gave me a sense of warmth. The soft white light made the old man appear like an Old Immortal who had seen through the world; I could almost feel that all sins could be washed away under such a gaze.
The White-Clad Elder shook his head and sighed, saying, "The time has not yet come."
"What time hasn't come? Since we have already arrived here, you should clarify things for us. What exactly is that Divine Sign? And your Demon Clan—where do you come from, and how many secrets are you hiding?" Xianxian asked impatiently.
I heard a few friendly laughs as the White-Clad Elder smiled and said, "This young brother seems to have many questions?"
Xianxian shot a disdainful glance at the White-Clad Elder and bluntly replied, "Of course! I've searched for so many years and am about to grow older again. Considering how hard we've rushed here, how about giving us some interest?"
"Haha..." The White-Clad Elder laughed again. Just when Xianxian angrily asked what he was laughing about, the White-Clad Elder turned his gaze toward Lime. But before looking at him, I felt as if he gave me a meaningful glance and then said, "The secret is all around you."
Following the White-Clad Elder's gaze, the three of us looked at Lime, who was lightly furrowing his brows. His pitch-black eyes sparkled like jewels as he seemed lost in thought. "Stop beating around the bush and tell me where they are!?"
Lime's tone suddenly became firm and even somewhat aggressive! I stared at Lime in surprise; it seemed like I was hearing him speak in this tone for the first time.
Although my intuition told me not to ask this question, I couldn't help but hesitantly inquire, "Who are they?"
"It doesn't matter where they are; what matters is whether you regret it?" No one answered my question. The White-Clad Elder fixed his gaze directly on Lime; in his eyes, there seemed to be a fleeting hint of malicious amusement? No, it couldn't be; I must have misinterpreted!
Looking back at Lime, his expression had already turned quite grim. It was clear he was holding back—struggling to contain himself. Then suddenly he lifted his head and stared straight into the White-Clad Elder's eyes, firmly stating, "Yes! I regret it very much!" Lime's voice was unusually resolute and laced with pain mixed with some unknown feeling.
The White-Clad Elder sighed. "Then cherish this time well; perhaps there won't be such an opportunity next time." After saying that, he turned to me and smiled. "Young brother, you must be Feng Zi?"
"Yes, may I ask if Old Senior knows me?" I looked at him in confusion. After asking this, I felt like a fool; hadn't the old man already said he was Diviner? If that's the case, he should naturally "know" me.
White-Clad Elder did not directly answer my question but looked at me kindly and said with a smile, "It seems like just yesterday you were this small, heh heh..."
"You..." I was about to speak when White-Clad Elder continued, "I will soon disappear. Before I do, let me briefly explain."
We all held our breath, staring unblinkingly at his transparent form as he stroked his beard. His weathered voice echoed once more in this space: "Long ago, a thousand years back, I foresaw that you would come, along with others. I carved the likenesses of those I saw, which are the ice figures you see now. I set up a formation above them; once activated, you would be able to see me from all directions."
After a pause, White-Clad Elder added, "There are some things I cannot tell you yet, at least not now. You still need to find two important items. Remember, you must find those two items; otherwise, calamity will persist and chaos will reign."
"Perhaps we should not have sought that secret in the first place. Now that it has come to this, we have done our utmost to protect it. The rest is up to you. Remember to unite; working together will yield greater results. You must not let the light of Divine Sign expose itself to the world! Remember this well..."
His voice gradually faded away, and a sense of ancient sorrow swept over us before quietly vanishing. The surroundings returned to calm as if everything that had happened was merely an illusion.
"What on earth did he talk about for so long?" Xianxian frowned, looking quite displeased.
"Old Senior said we need to unite!" I stared intently at Pei Zi. He mentioned "we," so does this mean Pei Zi can cooperate? Clearly, Pei Zi was also pondering this, glancing at the three of us as if wanting to say something but hesitating.
"I personally still think Old Senior can be trusted. What do you all think?" I asked.
"It could very well be a trap; I've seen many who hide daggers behind smiles!" Xianxian replied dismissively. However, there was a hint of conflict in his eyes.
