Dressed in the moonlight, Wu Yu's body now crawled out of the last straw house and struggled to lie on top of the only remaining mule in the house.

This was the only 'asset' left in their family after they fell.

Right now, Wu Yu was lying on top of the mule, gradually driving it away from Willow Town. This was the place that he had stayed for forty years.

If it were the him of the past, he might not have felt anything in the past forty years. If he had closed up for just a moment, it would have been several thousand years. Forty years would have been within the blink of an eye.

However, in these 40 years, he had experienced another life, a life filled with pain and bitterness. Luckily, Yang Fan and Liu Yue, his parents who were very good to him, also had an extremely weak body, one that could not even practice martial arts.

"Even if I die, I die on the way to Wu Du …." Wu Yu's mind was firm.

At this time, although he was already very old and his body was weak, he actually burst forth with even more power than before.

Actually, if it wasn't for Yang Fan and Liu Yue, he would have left home early and would have gone to the Wu City no matter what, but the result wouldn't have been that different.

Wu Yu's character was unyielding and tenacious. With his life's worth of resources, being able to reach the Wu City was already his final goal. He was also aware of the reality and didn't want to go back to the Heavenly Sword Sect for the rest of his life.

Occasionally, he would think of the matters regarding the Heavenly Sword Sect and Wu Du, as well as his past experiences. All of these things were urging him to continue forward.

With the help of a mule, he followed the pipeline all the way forward. Although his speed was very slow, it was still approaching the direction of Wu Du.

When Wu Yu was hungry, she would dig up some wild vegetables along the way. As long as it was a mule to eat, he would also eat. That way, he could guarantee that there wouldn't be any poison.

Wu Yu hadn't thought of this when he was ten years old, and the route he took was also wrong, which resulted in him not being able to walk very far.

But this time, he took a step further than before.

Although it was even more difficult than when he was ten years old, he was able to persevere and see hope.

His body was actually gradually gaining strength. Although he was still unable to come down to walk, he didn't need to walk anymore as long as the mule was around.

At least, he wanted to see what Wu Du looked like for the rest of his life.

Along the way, he passed by some villages and towns. He would drive his mules and beg from every house. This way, he would be able to get more food.

As long as he could survive until the next town or village, he would have no shortage of food.

That was because his current state was truly pitiful. Some of the villagers were still very caring and very willing to help him.

He could even meet some caravans on the commercial road. They were willing to take him on a journey and give him some food and drinks so that he could go further and help him in difficult times.

Wu Yu unexpectedly went on the road like this.

Deep despair filled his mind, but in this despair, there was a sense of resistance and tenacity.

The conditions in his life were really terrible, but as long as he saw Wu Du, he could be considered to have fulfilled his dream of being ten years old.

Even if there was no more future, it could be considered as having fought against fate and being able to rest in peace. As for what would happen after his death, Wu Yu didn't even think about it, because right now, there was no point in thinking about it.

No matter what happens after death, he would not be able to change it. It would be better to get closer to his dream before he dies.

Day after day, Wu Yu traveled south on the business road. Along the way, he asked a few merchants and found out that he was indeed getting closer and closer to the city.

Even though many of the caravans didn't do business with Wu Du, since the distance was too far, the transportation costs were too high. However, Wu Yu knew that he had already taken the first step, so it would be much easier for him to move on.

With that mule, there was nothing to stop Wu Yu from going to Wu Du.

Once, they even encountered a group of bandits along the way, but they didn't have any interest in him at all. After all, he didn't have any money on him, and he didn't have anything of value.

However, after they let Wu Yu go, Wu Yu ran into a caravan on the way back, and when they were about to pass through the forest, he reminded the caravan.

They had chosen to take a detour in order to thank Wu Yu. After listening to Wu Yu's dream, they had actually prepared a carriage for him, along with an old coachman. They had asked the coachman to bring Wu Yu to the Wu City.

This caravan had some business dealings with Wu Du, so they were quite familiar with his route.

Wu Yu finally got off the dying mule and got on the caravan's carriage. Right now, he had nothing but his dreams, so he wasn't afraid that the caravan would have any ulterior motives towards him.

If the other party wanted to gift it to him, of course he would be willing to do so!

After getting on the carriage, his days were a bit more comfortable, but Wu Yu could still feel his life gradually slipping away from him.

This life was too short, and there was nothing shocking about it. The most common joke was still the joke in Willow Town, which dragged down Yang Fan and Liu Yue …

Now, he was about to be relieved.

The key point was that Wu Yu's legs couldn't move, and he was basically crippled. Therefore, even this old man couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and even found it hard to believe that they had travelled thousands of miles.

He had a heartfelt admiration for Wu Yu. In addition, Wu Yu had also reminded their caravan to prevent them from being captured by bandits, which had given him a favorable impression of Wu Yu.

The old man drove the carriage and brought Wu Yu closer and closer to Wu Du.

Wu Yu didn't know how much time had passed, but all he knew was that day had passed, and it had been almost a year since he left Willow Town.

On this day, he finally saw a majestic city appearing at the end of the horizon.

This city was nothing compared to the Immortal City of the Heavenly Court that he had seen before. In fact, it was not even one in ten thousand compared to the Jade Wave Mountain Range, the Mount Shu Sword Sect, and the Yellow Emperor City.

However, when Wu Yu saw the city, he was so excited that tears started to well up in his eyes.

This was Wu Du. He had finally met Wu Du. The dream he had when he was ten years old had finally come true. He had experienced decades of despair, but finally, he had experienced a place that had been haunting him for so long.

Wu Du, appearing on the horizon.

Wu Yu's energy had also been completely depleted. Originally, he had been able to persevere, but now he knew that even if he entered the Wu Capital, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Being able to see Wu Du with a single glance was already the greatest struggle against fate.

In the eyes of the old coachman who was slightly moved, Wu Yu closed her eyes. In this life of his, 'Yang Chen', she could finally rest in peace.

This world seemed to have become blurry the moment he saw Wu Du, but Wu Yu couldn't see it.

The peace of 'Yang Chen' wasn't Wu Yu's death.

When Wu Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a sealed off passageway. Behind him was the second room in the tomb guarding hall, and the words "Fight" had already appeared on the door.

This was a 'fight', just like the 'fight' in the Mirror Dimension. It was indeed a test for the intruder.

But even now, Wu Yu was still trembling a little, the experience of 'Yang Chen' really made one feel despair.

"You're finally awake!" She thought that Wu Yu would never wake up again.

"Seriously... Old Wu, you have been unconscious ever since you entered the room. Now that you've finally woken up, what have you experienced? " Nanshan Full Moon was like a curious baby, constantly asking Wu Yu questions.

Wu Yu gradually recovered from the experience of 'Yang Chen', and became a little more clear-headed. He then smiled.

This smile contained a sense of transcendence, as well as the freedom to fight against fate.

It seems like this room is a place where people struggle against fate, surpassing fate to realize their dreams. No wonder no matter how hard I try, I was unable to succeed in practicing martial arts. My body is getting weaker and weaker, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

Wu Yu explained the situation to the people in the pagoda and felt a lingering fear.

He now understood, all that 'Yang Chen' encountered were obstacles brought to him by this test, including the incident when he left his house at the age of ten, all sorts of troubles, and they were all obstacles brought to him by this test.

Perhaps they wouldn't be able to fight back in the end. If they saw Wu Du, Wu Yu might not be able to leave this room.

No matter what, Wu Yu had succeeded.

Moreover, he had gone through a completely different life. It was equivalent to him gaining a new understanding of time and life.

What was there to be afraid of now that he had already experienced the despair of despair?

Upon hearing Wu Yu's words, Nan Shan, Ye Xiuya, and Wu Jun all became silent. The illusion in this room was so terrifying that it could make people despair for the rest of their lives. If they were in there, they might not be able to pass the test.

This was truly an enormous training for willpower. The requirements were too high, and even deities would find it difficult to persevere through this training. They would also have to struggle against fate in order to realize their dreams.

"Anyway, it's time to go to the last room." When Wu Yu arrived at the end of the hallway, the expression on his face became complicated.
