As the Universe Turns - Chapter 708
Chapter 708 Inner Mountain
“Big brother, wait for me!”
Seeing Xiao Chen fly in, Ruoshui no longer hesitated. He took out the Wind-controlling Pearl and quickly followed. With the layer of protective true energy that Xiao Chen had just given him, the poisonous miasma could no longer invade her side.
Ruoshui couldn’t help but think that this big brother was cold and didn’t like to talk, but his dao was truly unfathomable. He didn’t know which one of them had deeper dao than his master …
It was only at night that the two finally crossed the swamp’s miasma forest. At this moment, they were already at the edge of the inner mountains of the Xiqi Mountain Range. If they went further, they could be considered to have completely entered the inner mountains.
It had just rained heavily a few days ago, and tonight, the night sky was as clear as washing, but seeing the stars and moon shining brightly, it illuminated the entire mountain range flawlessly.
“Big brother, have we reached the inner mountain yet …”
Ruoshui looked at the dark mountains around her. Her spiritual sense was sharp, and she instantly felt a very strong Spiritual Energy. It was far from being comparable to the outside world. It was truly unimaginable that such a dangerous place would actually have such a strong Spiritual Energy.
It’s a cold pond …
At this moment, Xiao Chen could clearly feel that there was a faint chill in the middle of such a strong Spiritual Energy. Only the Frost Lake could do this.
The seven Spiritual Veins in the mortal world were named: Frost Lake, Flaming Sun, Dragon Abyss, Giant Soul, Heavenly Light, Secluded Springs, and Crimson Heavens.
The seven Earth Spiritual Veins were the source of all living beings’ Spiritual Longevity. Therefore, each Earth Spiritual Vein contained boundless power. At the same time, there were countless branches that were connected to the world’s lifelines.
And now, every spirit vein has a Spirit Vein Eye. As long as you find the Spirit Vein Eye, you can draw the Spirit Vein and gather its branches. That’s why there are Eyes of Frost Pool, Eye of Flame Sun, Eye of Dragon Abyss, Eye of Crimson Heaven, Eye of Giant Soul, Eye of Heavenly Light, Eye of Secluded Springs …
Three years ago, Xiao Chen had obtained the Eye of the Frost Pool, but because of some things, he had only obtained half of it. Now, he was certain that the other half of the Eye of the Frost Pool was in the Xiqi Mountains.
“Let’s go.”
The cold night darkened. Xiao Chen’s figure moved and he continued forward. Ruoshui was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly followed along. The further he walked, the colder he felt. He couldn’t help but wonder, although it was in the inner mountain, how could this place be so deathly silent, as if no one had ever come here before …
It wasn’t until dawn the next morning that the two of them arrived at an extremely high mountain peak. Looking from here, they could see that the mountain peaks were connected one by one, and they could already distinguish the direction of the mountain range. In order to find the Eye of the Frost Pool, they had to look through the numerous mountain peaks.
“Big brother, are you also looking for that spirit vein?” Ruoshui walked up and suddenly asked.
Xiao Chen looked at the numerous mountain peaks in front of him and said indifferently, “This place is already an inner mountain. Why are you still following me …”
“I…”
Ruoshui lowered his head and looked at the surrounding mountain peaks. He thought to himself, “The sects and sects in the Xiqi Mountain Range are here for that spirit vein. Why are there so many people here? Everyone wants to obtain that spirit vein? This big brother in front of him is that senior brother that we have never met before. If he comes here, so is he …”
Xiao Chen walked forward, Looking at the boundless mountain peak in front of him, he thought that Yang Xiaoran and Bai Luan Zi Yuan were almost ready for today. In the next seven days, he had to find the Eye of the Frost Pool. Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the dumbfounded girl in front of him. “Are you planning to leave or continue to stay with me?”
“Ah …”
Ruoshui raised his head. At this moment, he was still a little stunned. He was clearly thinking of finding that senior brother he had never met before, but at this moment, he nodded hesitantly.
“Follow me.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. With a movement, he headed towards the mountain range ahead. Ruoshui was stunned for a moment and immediately took out the Wind Imperial Pearl to chase after him.
Another three days passed. The deeper they walked into the mountain range, the more complicated the terrain became. In these three days, the two finally saw people from other sects. There were people from the Righteous path as well as people from the Demon Gate. Ruoshui was naturally cautious and didn’t dare to attract the attention of these people. As for Xiao Chen, there was no need to alert these people.
On the seventh day, the two finally arrived at the depths of the inner mountain. Mountains overlapped and dense forests covered this place. In the past, there hadn’t been a single person in almost a thousand years. Recently, the news of the spirit veins had attracted the attention of cultivators from all over the country.
There were four mountain peaks in front of him. They were surrounded by people from various sects. These people had obviously only come to explore the Eye of the Frost Lake first. The true main forces of the various sects had yet to enter from outside.
Ruoshui looked around and didn’t expect so many people to come here. No wonder the journey was so lonely, but it turned out to be all the way here. Where’s that senior brother? Will he come …
He looked around, only to see people from various sects standing on the mountain, not a single other special person. Could it be that he didn’t come?
At this moment, the girl’s heart suddenly became empty, and her gaze became blank. When she gradually regained consciousness, she discovered that she had separated from her older brother, and that there was no longer any trace of him in the surroundings.
“Big brother!”
Ruoshui was slightly shocked. Although she had already reached the depths of the inner mountain and there were many people from other profound sects here, she had entered with the other party along the way. Now that she suddenly couldn’t find the other party, she couldn’t help but feel a little flustered.
“Big brother! Where are you? Can you hear me?”
Ruoshui shouted in all directions, but his voice echoed back and forth in the Void Valley, unable to find the other party.
“Miss Ruoshui, why are you here!”
Suddenly, several figures flew over from afar. The leader was an old man dressed in Qingyi. Ruoshui immediately turned around and recognized him. He anxiously asked, “Martial Uncle Yinghan, have you seen a big brother? His hair is white, his face is cold, and he doesn’t like to talk …”
“White-haired man, cold …”
Old man Qingyi pondered for a moment and shook his head, “Poverty Dao has just been here. I have never seen the person the girl said …”
This old man was Yun Hanzi of Qinghong Sect. Qinghong Sect and Xuanqing Sect had always been good friends. On the 16th birthday of Ruoshui, Qinghong Sect had also let people come, so both sides recognized him.
“Ah … then what should we do …”
Ruoshui was so anxious that he clenched his hands tightly. For some reason, He suddenly felt a strange sense of loss in his heart. Although they had only known each other for a few days, and although the other party had always been cold and quiet, she did not know why. As long as the other party was by her side, she felt a sense of security. It was as if she did not have to worry about anything, nor did she have to fear anything, nor did she have to fear the evil people of the Devil Religion, nor the two bad people of Cangfeng Valley. But now, the other party had suddenly disappeared.
