Killing God - Chapter 414
Chapter 414 Look At The Sea
The Four Great Halls and the adventures to enter the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, coupled with the travel time to and from the Origin Sect of the Central Continent, would probably take at least a month and a half, or even a lot longer than this time when they went to the Hundred Mountains Realm to participate in the trials. Thinking about it was also helpless. Shen Shi felt that he was a little sorry for Ling Chunnie. Ever since he was with her, the time he had spent together with her was not even as long as the few friends he had known in the High Firmament Sect on Golden Rainbow Mountain.
However, this period of time was indeed unavoidable. Looking into the future, I believe that after this Four Main Conferences, I should be able to truly be free. Shen Shi’s thoughts changed as he packed his luggage in the cave residence. At the same time, he couldn’t help but think of buying a house for Ling Chunni in Floating Cloud City. He always left her alone in the Xu Clan. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to stay there for a long time.
However, even though his thoughts were good, he was still powerless. Not to mention that Shen Shi’s current Spirit Crystal savings weren’t enough, he had spent quite a bit of money preparing for the Hundred Mountain Realm Trials. Originally, he had thought that after this trial, he would still have half a year to earn spirit crystals, but who would have thought that things would be like a tide, wave after wave, and he would feel as if he was being pushed away involuntarily.
The box of talismans that Old Man Pu had accidentally given him was of course of great help to Shen Shi. With these two thousand talismans, Shen Shi’s combat strength could be increased by at least several tens of percent. However, apart from that, the forthcoming Wentian Secret Realm was related to the destiny of one’s entire life of cultivation. How important was it to be fully prepared? In addition to these talismans, He still has other things to prepare for this trip to Wentian Secret Realm, All sorts of spirit pills, spirit crystals, and even when they met Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi when they left the Five Elements Hall, Senior Sister Xu even half-joked and half-formally told him that if possible, it would be best to bring one or two more Ruyi bags.
The reason for that was because the so-called opportunities in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm were actually just a generic term. After careful examination, there were all sorts of oddities and almost everything. They had accidentally found the caves left behind by the ancient True Immortals, accepted the inheritance of the Great Dao Technique, and then advanced in cultivation. Of course, this was a first-rate opportunity. However, other than that, the disciples of the Four Righteous Sects who had entered the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm had encountered countless opportunities. They had found heavenly treasures and ancient divine artifacts. They had been so unlucky that they had found nothing. They had almost collected spirit herbs and spirit stones. Of course, they had also fought with various demonic beasts, died or won, and brought back treasures such as demonic cores.
However, it was said that the most bizarre thing was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Palace a thousand years ago. After entering the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, he searched for an opportunity. In the end, he was teleported to a desolate and remote place. There were no spirit herbs or spirit stones, nor was there even a legendary True Immortal Cave. After a long time, he didn’t even see a single demonic beast. But at the last moment, he actually discovered an incomparably large spirit crystal vein …
This was the legendary tragedy of the Treasure Mountain being helpless in front of them. It was said that countless spirit crystals were piled up like mountains and were unreachable. They were scattered everywhere like sand and stones. The translucent light could even illuminate half the sky at night. If it was placed in the grandmist main world where the four main sects were located, it would be possible to create a powerful sect comparable to the four main sects over time. However, the Heavenly Sword Palace disciple at that time was truly crying without tears.
His Ruyi bag contained many miraculous medicines and various spirit materials and magical artifacts. He had prepared them as thoroughly and thoroughly as possible for this trip to Wentian Secret Realm, but at that time, all of these things had become a burden. In the end, he could only try his best to fill the Ruyi bag with spirit crystals. As long as there was a slight gap, he would not let go of them. Unfortunately, the spirit pills and spirit materials he brought were very valuable. Many of them were much more precious than spirit crystals of the same size, and he could not give up on them at all.
Therefore, in the end, this Heavenly Sword Palace disciple could only be considered to have made a small fortune in Wentian Secret Realm. However, after this sad story happened and spread, many senior teachers of the four great sects would warn the young people to bring a few more lucky bags with them when they entered the secret realm just in case.
However, because the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm was mysterious and strange, a brand new world would appear every time. In the countless searches that followed, no one had ever found that mysterious Spiritual Crystal Treasure Mountain again.
④
On the second day after Sect Leader Huaiyuan discussed with the Origin Core Realm Elders and confirmed that he would attend the Four Main Assembly early, Shen Shi prepared to go down the mountain and head to Liuyun City. Apart from seeing Ling Chunni reunite with her, he also wanted to go to the Divine Immortal Association to see if he could buy some more things.
For example, some Ruyi bags with a larger capacity …
When he left the cave, he looked at the sky above his head. The valley was as quiet as usual, covered by green shade. Occasionally, a little bit of the broken sun turned into a beam of light that fell from the gap between the branches and leaves, illuminating the winding mountain path. It seemed like a good day.
He stretched and took a deep breath of the slightly moist air. The Little Hei pig looked a little excited and ran out at his feet, trotting around, sniffing and sniffing everywhere.
“Let’s go, Little Hei. Let’s go down the mountain.” Shen Shi smiled and shouted at it before walking forward. The mountain path twisted, and old trees and ancient vines could be seen everywhere. The sound of the waterfall in the depths of the valley floated faintly, and a few quiet bird chirps seemed to be heard above his head.
As he walked, he unknowingly approached the entrance of the valley and saw another cave in the valley. As usual, this cave had always been deserted and closed. However, when Shen Shi was getting used to it and was about to pass by, his gaze suddenly narrowed. He saw another figure on the stone path outside the cave.
It was a petite but pretty woman. She was standing quietly outside the stone door. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked thoughtfully at the cave and the tightly closed stone door. Perhaps when she heard the sound of footsteps, the woman turned around and looked at Shen Shi. Shen Shi sized her up and found that he had never seen her before. Furthermore, the clothes on her looked like she was not a disciple of Lingxiao Sect.
Could it be someone from another sect? Shen Shi was also a little surprised. However, why did the disciples from other sects come to this remote valley? Just as she was puzzled, the woman smiled and greeted him politely. Then, she said,
“Senior Brother, do you know the owner of this cave is inside?”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and said, “I don’t know. Ever since I lived in this valley’s cave, the cave beside me has always been so tightly closed. I have never seen the owner of this cave.”
“Ah, so it’s like this” The woman silently went down. Then, she sighed softly, a trace of disappointment flashing across her eyes. Then, she nodded at Shen Shi and said, “Thank you for telling me. Sorry to disturb you.”
As she spoke, she looked at the cave for the last time. Then, she turned around and walked towards the valley entrance without saying a word. Soon, her figure disappeared behind a patch of trees and trees.
Only then did Shen Shi recall that he did not know the identity of this woman. He was also slightly stunned for a moment. However, it did not seem like she had any malicious intentions. It was just that he did not know the identity of this neighbor next door. Shen Shi shook his head and looked at the tightly shut stone door. He was even more curious about the owner of the cave. However, everything was complicated right now, so he didn’t have the mood to think about it, so he turned around and walked all the way out of the valley.
The woman in front of him did not look slow. In a short while, she could no longer be seen. It was unknown where she had gone. Shen Shi walked all the way down the mountain path to the middle of the mountain. However, he saw another familiar figure on the wide and flat stone steps.
“Green Bamboo?” He smiled and greeted. The woman in front of him who was leaning against the railing and looking into the distance turned her head. Seeing that it was him, the corners of her lips, which were originally calm and plain, curled up slightly, revealing a trace of a joyful smile.
The sea breeze blew by, and seabirds soared and chirped in the sky. In the dense forest by the roadside, leaves rose and fell like waves. She stood in the wind, her clothes fluttering, her eyes gentle. At that moment, she seemed to have waited there for countless years.
The sea rippled, and the blue waves stretched for thousands of hectares. The sky was high and the sea was vast, and the sky was like a wash. It was like a paradise in the mortal world. It forgot its troubles and sorrows, leaving only that little bit of its state of mind untainted by dust.
“Stone.” She smiled and called out softly.
Shen Shi’s voice was like a flocculant, and the wind gently brushed past his ears. He was in a trance for a moment, but he quickly laughed. He walked over and said with a smile, “What are you looking at here?”
Zhong Qingzhu pointed at the boundless blue ocean in the distance and said, “Look at this ocean.” As he spoke, he looked at him and asked, “What about you? Where are you going?”
Shen Shi smiled and said, “I’m going down the mountain.”
Zhong Qingzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had paused for a moment, and then said, “Are you going to Liuyun City?”
“Yes, let’s go take a look.” Shen Shi said.
“Oh.” Zhong Qingzhu nodded and didn’t say anything else. The fair hand on the railing gently stroked the hard, cold, and rough surface of the stone. After a while, she asked again, “Are you well?”
Shen Shi nodded and said, “Almost all of them are healed. Now, we are waiting to go to the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm.” As he spoke, it was as if he wanted to prove his words, and he even extended his hand to make a brave gesture.
Zhong Qingzhu chuckled and covered her mouth with a soft smile. Her eyes were filled with a gentle smile. The sea breeze touched the ends of her hair at her temples, giving her a strange charm.
Shen Shi glanced at her and put down his hand with a smile. Then, he waved his hand at her, turned around, and walked down the mountain. Behind him, Zhong Qingzhu stared at his back.
Shen Shi took a few steps and suddenly stopped. Then, he turned around and looked at Zhong Qingzhu. He shouted,
“Qingzhu.”
“Huh?”
“Thank you.” Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, “That sword.”
Zhong Qingzhu pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded with a smile. Shen Shi turned around with a smile and strode forward.
Beside the railing, in the sea breeze, Zhong Qingzhu stood quietly. She watched the man’s back gradually fade away. That gentle smile slowly dissipated on her face. The sea breeze seemed to be slightly cold. Standing alone in the mountain breeze, her expression became cold again.
With a bit of pride and worry, she slowly turned around and looked back at the boundless ocean.
In the world of heaven and earth, there was boundlessness and grandeur, the vicissitudes of life, and some sorrow.
