Killing God - Chapter 365
Chapter 365 But It Was an Old Friend
The starlight was clear and cold. On the mountain path, the three of them looked at each other silently. After a while, Zhong Qingzhu walked over silently. Zhong Qinglu looked at her and said with a smile and surprise, “Qingzhu, where are you going at this late hour?”
However, Zhong Qingzhu did not reply. His gaze swept past Zhong Qing’s appearance and landed on Shen Shi. He revealed a strange expression and said, “What about you guys? Why are you still here so late at night?”
“Oh, I asked Qing Lu to go to my cave.” Shen Shi spoke with an unexpected confession. Zhong Qingzhu’s expression changed slightly as he heard Shen Shi continue, “This time, I went down the mountain to find some spirit herbs. I wanted to ask Qing Lu to refine some spirit pills to prepare for the Hundred Mountain Realm’s trial. I didn’t expect that there were many spirit herbs. After tidying them up, it would be dark.” It seems to me that the sky is too dark, and the mountain path in my cave valley is not easy to walk, so I sent her over. By the way, Qingzhu, how are your preparations? Why don’t I give you some pills later? ”
Zhong Qingzhu lowered his head slightly. His expression seemed to have eased up a little. However, he shook his head and said, “No need. I’ve already prepared everything.”
“Oh!” Shen Shi nodded and didn’t say anything. Zhong Qinglu was watching Zhong Qingzhu from the side for a long time. Suddenly, she frowned and said, “Qingzhu, why do I look like you’re not looking too well? Are you injured?”
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were both stunned. Shen Shi wanted to say something but he hesitated. Zhong Qingzhu looked at Shen Shi. Then, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head at Zhong Qinglu and said, “A minor illness is cured. It won’t be a problem. You two will be heading to the Hundred Mountains Realm in a few days. Do you two have any thoughts?”
Zhong Qinglu smiled and said, “There’s nothing worth thinking about in the Hundred Mountain Realm. It’s just a drill. According to my master, the most important thing for us disciples to do in the past is to familiarize ourselves with the atmosphere and get used to the possibility of facing dangerous and strange situations alone in Wentian Secret Realm in the future, so that we can strive for our own opportunities.”
Zhong Qingzhu nodded his head and said, “My master has told me almost the same thing. By the way, Shi Tou, did your master say anything?”
Shen Shi thought for a moment and said, “My master didn’t say much, just one sentence.”
Zhong Qinglu asked curiously, “What was it again?”
Shen Shi suddenly looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed, but after a moment, under the four gazes of the two women, he still said honestly,
“The old man said, ‘Life is the most important thing. It’s good to be alive.'”
Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu were both stunned at the same time. They thought that the Elder of the Arts Hall’s thoughts were really different. The disciples of the sect actually didn’t encourage them to go all out to explore Wentian Secret Realm for opportunities. Instead, they only said some implied negative words to save their lives.
After a while, Zhong Qingzhu thought of something first and said, “Actually, Elder Pu’s words are not completely unreasonable. Although there have always been many opportunities to bring up countless talented people in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, it must be said that every time they entered the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, there were actually quite a few elites who accidentally perished over the years.”
Zhong Qinglu nodded her head and said, “That’s right. The Heaven Seeking Secret Realm is incomparably miraculous. It is said that every time one enters the Secret Realm, it will be a brand new world. There are no tracks of the past. Moreover, there are many dangerous and dangerous demonic beasts in the Secret Realm. If one’s luck is bad, they might die in the Secret Realm.” At this point, She paused for a moment. He seemed to ponder for a moment and recalled, He then said, “If I remember correctly, the disciples of the Divine Will Realm do not care about the trip to the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm every ten years. However, the four main clans of the Origin Condensation Realm have about eighty disciples. A total of 320 people have entered the Secret Realm. However, when they come out, there will be a small number left in the Secret Realm, and they will never leave.”
Shen Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhong Qinglu, “Zero?”
Zhong Qinglu shrugged helplessly and said, “Very few people would take the initiative to talk about this matter, but it is indeed the case. As for the number of odds … The two of them are odds, and the twenty of them are odds. It is impossible to say.”
The three of them fell silent for a moment. Before this, the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm had always been the supreme sacred land that everyone longed for the most. In fact, it was indeed the same. For thousands of years, countless disciples of the Four Principles had obtained unbelievable inheritance in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, and they had advanced bravely. They had written down dense colors and written countless legends in the Primordial Chaos Cultivation Realm.
In the past three thousand years alone, all the Sect Leaders of the four great sects were heroes who had entered the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm and obtained great opportunities. Why is Du Tiejian, a disciple of Spiritual Master Huaiyuan of Lingxiao Sect, so famous and prestigious? The big reason was that he was a lucky person who had obtained great fortune after entering Wentian Secret Realm. In the past, Du Tiejian was almost born to be the sect master. The path he took was the path that countless elites of his ancestors had walked and succeeded.
In short, in the eyes of all the cultivators in the world, including the disciples of the Four Correct Sects, the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm was an immortal clan resort that stood high up in the mountains. Although there might be risks that might even cause death, compared to the benefits, this small probability of risk was completely inadequate. It was completely worth fighting for.
Regardless of whether it was Shen Shi, Zhong Qinglu, or Zhong Qingzhu, the thoughts in their hearts were the same.
“Goodbye, Hundred Mountain Realm.”
After a moment of silence, Zhong Qingzhu said softly before turning around. Zhong Qinglu glanced at her back, then nodded slightly at Shen Shi and walked towards another direction above the mountain path. Shen Shi raised his head to look at the night sky. The starlight was clear and cold. Suddenly, it was somewhat lonely. He didn’t know if he had some feelings for the mysterious and mysterious realm in the future. However, he didn’t sigh anymore. His gaze swept past the two women’s back figures under the starlight, turned around, and walked towards his own path of origin.
The night breeze blew by, and the sound of the waves was faint. On Golden Rainbow Mountain, the mountain path was silent.
The three of them parted ways and went their separate ways. Above them, the night was still boundless.
④
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed. In the increasingly solemn atmosphere, the entire Ling Xiao Sect finally welcomed the day they had already decided to go to the Hundred Mountains Realm to train.
On this day, the sky was clear and the sky was high and the sea was wide. It was a sunny day. The sea breeze on Golden Rainbow Mountain was refreshing, and the trees and flowers were fragrant. On the normally lively viewing platform, a large crowd of disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect were standing in the darkness.
There were two reasons why he went to the Hundred Mountain Realm for the trial. One was to select the elite disciples who would enter the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm in the Sizheng Assembly after half a year. The other was to seek opportunities in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm and create a similar environment in the Hundred Mountain Realm for the disciples to temper themselves.
The two complement each other.
In the crowd, there were different expressions. There were excitement, anticipation, seriousness, and nervousness. In groups of three or two, they were chatting with each other in private. However, in general, there were still two large segments of the crowd on the plaza platform.
On one side, there were a lot of people, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of people. On the other side, there were very few people, but there were only 20 people.
However, in terms of momentum alone, not only did the crowd of twenty disciples not appear to be lone, they could even faintly resist the large crowd of people in the Chamber. All of the disciples standing on this side had calm expressions. Their temperament and demeanor were all above the standard. On the contrary, there were many people on the side of the crowd. Occasionally, a large number of people would secretly look at this place. There was no lack of envy, jealousy, or even yearning in their eyes.
These twenty people were disciples under the Elder’s seat with some special identities. They did not need to take the exam to obtain the qualifications to head to the Four Great Halls and enter the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm. In the eyes of many Ling Xiao Sect disciples, these people seemed to have faintly lost some of their status. Perhaps in a few decades or so, there would be exceptionally powerful cultivators among the people standing here today.
At this moment, Shen Shi was naturally standing in the middle of this small group of people. However, compared to his fellow disciples who looked confident and even a little proud, his mood was slightly complicated. For many years, From the moment he started cultivating until not long ago, he had been cultivating in an ordinary or even indifferent situation. He rarely had any chance to rise to prominence, nor did he have much limelight. It could even be said that Shen Shi himself was already very accustomed to standing in the crowd of ordinary people.
However, what he hadn’t expected was that at this time today, he would suddenly stand in the middle of these twenty people.
It was only at this moment that he felt extremely strongly how fortunate it was for Old Man Pu to accept him as his disciple. Even back then, when he was a disciple, he did not feel even more vivid and intense than he did today.
Zhong Qingzhu and Zhong Qinglu were also standing amongst the twenty people. There was also Sun You. Seeing their figures, Shen Shi’s mood eased slightly. At the same time, he felt somewhat relieved. The group of rookies who had worshipped Bluefish Island back then seemed to be the strongest and most talented group of people in all these years.
However, when everyone smiled at him, the first person to come forward to greet Shen Shi was not the three friends he was familiar with, but another young man who suddenly appeared beside him.
He looked at Shen Shi gently, then laughed. He smiled and extended his hand to Shen Shi, saying,
“Long time no see, Shen Shi.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. Looking at this somewhat unfamiliar face, he suddenly felt that it looked somewhat familiar. His memories were slowly flipping through his mind. A moment later, he was suddenly stunned. Then, he was surprised and pleasantly surprised. He smiled and said,
“Ganze?”
Gan Ze smiled and nodded. His hand was still in front of him. Shen Shi took a deep look at him. The two of them looked at each other as if they had seen the youth who was still weak in the depths of their memories. He had gone to Monster Island to train on a large ship.
A moment later, the two hands clasped together and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
