Killing God - Chapter 57

Chapter 57
Beneath the cliff-top heavenly pit, on the shore of the crystal clear pond.

Shen Shi stared at Zhong Qingzhu, who was still standing in the water. He looked at him several times from top to bottom and said, “Didn’t you really know how to swim in the water before?”

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and asked, “Then can I swim like this, Stone?”

Shen Shi was at a loss. After thinking for a while, he wasn’t sure. “Probably,” he said. “When I saw the starfish swimming in the water, it looked similar to what you did just now. But of course, she was more proficient and at ease than him.”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said with a trace of joy, “Really? This swimming water is quite simple.”

Shen Shi rolled his eyes and thought to himself, “Whose face are you desperately hitting?”

Zhong Qingzhu fluttered in the pond for a while. Shen Shi stood on the shore and reminded her to be careful from time to time. However, he gradually noticed that Zhong Qingzhu really had an inexplicable talent in this area. However, it was rumored that he had learned it by word of mouth. In addition, he had tried it a few times. This made a master teacher guide and diligently study for a long time, but still can not see the hope of success is really how to bear.

Looking at Zhong Qingzhu who was becoming more and more at ease in the pond water, Shen Shi had for the first time developed a small doubt about his talent. At the same time, he had truly realized that there were indeed shocking geniuses in this world.

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to be quickly becoming familiar with the water. Even though she was still injured in her left hand, she had already shown some speed as she walked into the swimming pool. After a moment, she suddenly turned around and shouted at Shen Shi, who was standing on the shore,

“Stone, wait for me. I’ll try to dive and see if there’s a way out.”

“Ah?” Shen Shi was shocked, but before he could stop him from being born, Zhong Qingzhu took a deep breath and dived into the water. A moment later, his figure disappeared.

Shen Shi was somewhat worried. He frowned and looked at the gradually calming pool. “What’s the hurry? You want to run before you learn how to walk? Uh …” he said.

He suddenly lowered his voice and curled his lips. “Well, she seems to have learned to walk.”

After cultivating for only a short period of time, his physical body was no different from a mortal’s. He suppressed his breath and dived into the water. Zhong Qingzhu did not last long before he emerged from the water. He waved his hand at Shen Shi from afar. There was nothing special about his expression.

Shen Shi was a little worried. He waved his hand and said, “Why don’t you come up and rest first?”

Zhong Qingzhu gently wiped his face in his hand and said, “There’s no rush under the water. There’s nothing else. I’ll come up when I see it again.” After saying that, he turned around and took a deep breath before diving down.

The diving time this time was slightly longer than the previous time. As Shen Shi waited, his gaze landed on the surface of the water. He was wondering if he should also try to plunge down a few more times. Perhaps, he would also learn to swim at once …

As he hesitated, time passed unknowingly. However, Zhong Qingzhu hadn’t come up yet. Shen Shi gradually became a little worried. He couldn’t help but take two steps to the water’s edge. He looked nervously at the bottom of the water. He thought that nothing would happen, right?

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a loud crash. The water rippled and Zhong Qingzhu broke through the water like a small fish. However, this time, she did not stay in the water any longer. Instead, she used both her hands and feet to swim towards the shore.

Shen Shi looked at the exhausted expression on her face. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and stepped into the water. After she came over, he caught her and helped Zhong Qingzhu to the shore. He walked back to the place where there was no rain in the cave and sat down. Only then did the two of them let out a sigh of relief.

Zhong Qingzhu exhaled and said, “I went down there to take a look” Looking up at Shen Shi’s hopeful gaze, Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment. He seemed to hesitate for a moment and whispered, “There’s no way out.”

When Shen Shi saw that she did not appear to be cheering when she came up, he guessed in his heart that this was most likely the result. At this moment, he heard her say it personally. Although she was somewhat disappointed, it was within his expectations. He sighed and did not say anything.

Zhong Qingzhu looked at him and said, “However, I found this under the water.”

Shen Shi raised his eyes and saw Zhong Qingzhu stretch out his hand and spread out his palm. In his fair palm, there were two beautiful crystalline stones.

Shen Shi’s eyes lit up as he suddenly stood up and said, “Spirit Crystal!”

④

Crystal-like stones lying quietly in Zhong Qingzhu’s palms were the indispensable spirit crystals of cultivators.

Zhong Qingzhu also had a look of joy on his face, but his expression was much calmer than Shen Shi’s. He smiled and said, “Yes, I didn’t see any exit to the outside world when I got under the water, but I happened to see two spirit crystals in a corner of the water. I took them back.”

“Not bad luck.” Shen Shi took a spirit crystal from her hand and sighed.

Jinhong Mountain is the number one immortal mountain in the south of Hongmeng, The spirit veins in the depths of the mountain range were even more famous as dragon veins. A large amount of Spiritual Qi was deep and rich in Spiritual Crystals. Only such a large Spiritual Vein could sustain such a large cultivation force in Lingxiao Sect. Therefore, for any cultivation clan of a slight scale under the heavens, there must be a large or small Spiritual Vein. This was the foundation of the sect.

The Golden Rainbow Mountain Spiritual Vein was hidden deep within the Immortal Mountain. Naturally, it was tightly guarded by the Soaring Firmament Sect. However, this Spiritual Vein was truly astonishingly large. Apart from the main vein deep within the Golden Rainbow Mountain, the remaining branches also extended deep underground. The islands and oceans surrounding the Golden Rainbow Immortal Mountain would be affected by this Spiritual Vein the same way.

Although it was at the end of the spiritual vein branch, The Spiritual Energy of the Heavens and Earth was already weak. It was impossible for them to produce Spiritual Crystals every day like the main veins. However, over time, a few Spiritual Crystals would occasionally condense and scatter outside. On the islands around Golden Rainbow Mountain, one or two Spiritual Crystals would occasionally be discovered. This was the reason why the Red Mussels would occasionally discover a few Spiritual Crystals in the deep sea whenever they dived.

However, Lingxiao Sect had established a sect in Jinhong Mountain for tens of thousands of years, and there weren’t many humans in the seawater. Most of the islands around him had already been set foot on by people, so there was basically no such good thing as picking up spirit crystals with a casual walk on the roadside. As for the scene in front of him, it must be that there were few people below the precipice, and they were influenced by the end of a certain spirit vein. After a long time, they had condensed a few spirit crystals, but it was truly a pleasant surprise.

Zhong Qingzhu also looked happy and said, “With these two spirit crystals, each of us will be able to last at least twenty days.”

Shen Shi nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Oh right, is there anything else under the water?”

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Shi, shook his head, and said, “I didn’t see any other spirit crystals, so I found these two. How about if no one comes to save us later, I’ll go down and look for them again?”

Shen Shi nodded, feeling slightly disappointed in his heart. However, he was still happy after that. He looked at the spirit crystal in his hand and revealed a smile. After all, this was the real life-saving treasure. To be able to find this thing in this desperate situation, what else was there to complain about?

Zhong Qingzhu looked at him with a smile on his face. His lips twitched slightly and he wanted to say something, but he still smiled. “Why don’t we hurry up and cultivate? I hope that the senior brothers and sisters in the sect can find us in these twenty days.”

Shen Shi nodded. He subconsciously raised his head and forgot about the narrow sky outside the cave. The wind and rain were still there, but the gale was blocked by the cliff. The rain was still not small. It fell from the sky and the entire world looked gray.

④

The cave quieted down at an unknown time. Shen Shi held the spirit crystal in his hand and felt a warm and slightly cool aura coming from his palm. He raised his eyes and found Zhong Qingzhu sitting on the other side of the cave with his back against the stone wall. He sat cross-legged and his eyes closed. It seemed that he was cultivating and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the spirit crystal.

He withdrew his gaze and returned to the spirit crystal in his hand. He thought to himself that he could only use one spirit crystal for ten days, but now it seemed like he had to save it. Forget it, he should cultivate once a day.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and closed his eyes. His mind was immersed in the soul crystal of his palm, and he began to sense the faint wisp of spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The process of cultivation was as calm and steady as before. He smoothly sensed the Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Crystal and then channeled it into his body. He slowly circulated through the Qi channels around his body for a whole day. After stabilizing the Spiritual Energy in his body, he only felt a little drowsy. This was the inevitable exhaustion of his mind after cultivation.

Shen Shi slowly opened his eyes and discovered that Zhong Qingzhu was still cultivating with his eyes closed. It seemed that she had cultivated for a longer time than him. It was unknown whether she was slower than him in perceiving spiritual energy, drawing spiritual energy into her body, or cultivating joints.

Sitting there, he hesitated for a moment. Shen Shi closed his eyes again. The words of the Heart Cleansing Curse slowly flowed through his heart. A cool and gentle aura began to slowly wander around his body. Following these familiar sensations, the trace of Spiritual Energy that had just been sucked into his body seemed to have been stimulated by some unknown power. Suddenly, it woke up and began to slowly wander again.

After swimming through his chest and abdomen for a hundred times, he silently stopped between Shen Shi’s eyebrows. There were already some weak Spiritual Energy gathered here, which was the result of Shen Shi cultivating the Heart Cleansing Curse a few days ago. Now that he cultivated twice a day, In the meantime, he used the Heart Cleansing Curse to recover his spirits. The Spiritual Energy he obtained from his second cultivation was no different from that of an ordinary person. They were scattered randomly in the Qi veins around his body. Normally, it was almost impossible to detect them. Only after his cultivation advanced to the Origin Condensation Realm and he opened the Qi Sea Jade Manor would the spiritual energy in his body gather at the Jade Manor’s dantian. From then on, cultivators advanced greatly and began to use all sorts of magic treasures to cultivate various divine passageway techniques.

Apart from these Spiritual Energy that were no different from ordinary people, There was another portion of spiritual energy in Shen Shi’s body. It was precisely because after cultivating the Heart Cleansing Curse, strangely gathered between his eyebrows, Unlike the ordinary spiritual energy scattered all over his body, The Spiritual Energy between his eyebrows seemed to be gathered in one place. Every time he cultivated, the Spiritual Energy would naturally gather and fuse together. Although Shen Shi’s cultivation time was still short and the Spiritual Energy between his eyebrows was still incomparably weak, he felt that it was thicker than the scattered Spiritual Energy.

After reaching the space between Shen Shi’s eyebrows, this trace of spiritual energy did not show any signs of struggle. It obediently fused with the spiritual energy that was originally there. It felt as if this spiritual energy had gathered a little bit more.

Chapter 62

At first, he managed to escape by luck, and then he trekked in the dark cave. He struggled out of the cave with hope and found himself in a desperate situation again. He was overjoyed and overwhelmed with sorrow. However, in the following days, he seemed to have calmed down a lot.

Because Zhong Qingzhu was very lucky to find two spirit crystals under the water, Shen Shi and she were able to survive in this divine pit. Although there was still no hope of being saved, they were finally able to temporarily get rid of the threat of death.

In the following days, The two of them looked at the sky from time to time. I hope to see the miraculous figure of senior apprentice-brother and senior apprentice-sister descend from the sky. However, it was unknown if it was because this precipice crater was too secret or inconspicuous, The Lingxiao Sect disciples searching outside hadn’t discovered this place. After five days, even the Vastsea Storm had dissipated. The sky had regained its clear blue color. However, there was no sign of a human figure flying past the precipice.

From the beginning, Shen Shi’s heart was filled with hope. Gradually, he became somewhat anxious. One had to know that they only had two spirit crystals in their hands. Under the split usage of the two of them, they could only last for at most 20 days. If no one came to rescue them in the future, they would probably really die here.

Therefore, at dusk on the fifth day, Shen Shi discussed with Zhong Qingzhu, “Qingzhu, I don’t think it’s easy for anyone to come back. Why don’t we try looking back from the cave? Maybe we can walk out as well?”

After cultivating for a few days, Zhong Qingzhu channeled his spirit into his body. His spiritual energy was miraculous, and the injuries on his hands were much better. It was no longer so painful, but he still couldn’t move around easily. After hearing Shen Shi’s words, she hesitated for a moment, as if she was also pondering. After a moment, she raised her head and said, “I think we should wait here for a few more days. The cave below is pitch black. We don’t know what’s strange about it, but we always feel that it’s very dangerous.”

Shen Shi slowly nodded. Zhong Qingzhu’s words were indeed reasonable. It seemed that he was not as careful as her. Since he had the spirit crystal, there was no need to be so anxious. He immediately agreed.

When Zhong Qingzhu saw that he did not insist, her face relaxed a lot. After a few light chats, her gaze inadvertently swept across the deep pond outside the cave. Her gaze froze for a moment, but then she expressionlessly turned away.

④

After another three days, Every day began in peace and anticipation. Every evening, it would end in disappointment. The rescue team had never appeared. Shen Shi thought in his heart that after such a long time, those senior brothers on Qingyu Island might have thought that they were swept away by the huge waves, so he gave up on rescuing them.

His mood gradually became somewhat anxious. Although his personality was usually calm and cautious, he was in a desperate situation. Seeing that the chances of rescue were getting smaller and smaller, how could he not be anxious? In contrast, Zhong Qingzhu had always been calm and composed. He did not show much anxiety in normal days, which surprised Shen Shi.

However, these days of waiting were really hard to endure. Besides, if he really couldn’t go back to the cave, the more times he used the spirit crystal, the better. Therefore, on the ninth day, Shen Shi finally couldn’t help but ask Zhong Qingzhu to try to get out of the cave.

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she whispered to Shen Shi to wait a few more days. Shen Shi didn’t understand why she didn’t want to go back. Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a while before saying that she was afraid of the dark. If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t have to, she wouldn’t dare to return to the bottom of the dark and terrifying cave.

Shen Shi was speechless, but it was impossible for him to leave Zhong Qingzhu alone. Therefore, he still stayed behind. He made an appointment with Zhong Qingzhu to wait for a few more days. If the rescuer still did not come, then he would have no choice but to try to go back.

However, perhaps it was because of their patience that the heavens were finally touched. In this painful wait, on the tenth day, on this almost impossible day, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu first saw several strange lights flash across the originally azure sky in the morning, crisscrossing, not dissipating for a long time, like a sky net. At noon, more and more strange lights appeared in the sky. Finally, a huge screen of light enveloped the entire Qingyu Island. It was extremely magnificent and fantastic.

When the light barrier was fully formed, dozens of gentle white lights descended from the sky. The white lights were like mountains and mountains, and the weather was endless. It was terrifying. It slowly moved from the edge of Bluefish Island into the island. Looking at the enormous brilliance of the movement, not even the slightest bit of space on the island was missing. All of them swept past.

In the afternoon, a white light swept past a stone wall in a mountain and shone into a cliff-top heavenly pit.

After a calm white light flashed past Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu’s surprised faces and bodies, they suddenly stopped moving. At this moment, the strange and magnificent light shield in the sky suddenly let out a deep and sharp cry.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu looked at each other and saw the uncontrollable excitement and longing in each other’s eyes. The two of them ran to the middle of the pit and looked up at the miraculous screen of light in the sky. They shouted loudly.

Half an hour later, several streaks of sword light pierced through the sky and circled around the cliff with incredible speed. Then, they rushed forward. The leader was Wang Gen. Behind him, Zheng Zhe and the other direct disciples of the High Firmament Sect also followed. Their faces were filled with astonishment. It was as if they had never expected that Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu would still be stubbornly living under this precipice.

He was saved …

At that moment, when Wang Gen’s resolute face appeared in front of them, bringing everyone down into the precipice valley, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu finally confirmed that they had truly escaped. This calamity had finally passed.

Zhong Qingzhu’s eyes turned red, as if he wanted to cry again. Shen Shi also clenched his teeth, staring blankly at the tall and sturdy Wang Gen striding in front of him.

Although Wang Gen’s expression wasn’t as shocked as Zheng Zhe’s, he could still see the excitement and excitement that rarely appeared on his face. Looking at the two young men and women under the precipice, his clothes were torn and his face was exhausted. The young girl’s left hand was still tied to his side by a cloth belt, looking like a broken arm. Not to mention how they managed to escape from the heavens and struggle here, it was obvious how much suffering the two of them had endured.

Wang Gen took a deep breath and stood in front of the two of them. He nodded lightly and revealed a smile, saying, “Alright, let’s go home.”

“Oh” A low sob came from the side, but Zhong Qingzhu couldn’t help but choke with excitement.

④

At this time, the curtain had finally come to an end. Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were rescued back to Qingyu Fair by Wang Gen and the others. They were first treated. After being trapped in the cliff valley for more than ten days, they had long been physically and mentally exhausted. However, due to the support of the spirit crystals, they were lucky to not have left any special injuries in the end.

Zhong Qingzhu’s injuries were more severe. Especially since the fracture of his left arm had dragged on for so many days, He swam a few times in the middle, Although her body felt much better because of the Spirit Crystal’s introduction into her body, Wang Gen and the others checked her and told her that this was a sign of incurability. The broken arm had not been fixed. After so many days of delay, the broken bones inside had been dislocated, and the injuries were even more severe.

In the mortal world, I’m afraid this arm is hard to save, But where is Lingxiao Sect, Naturally, there were plenty of miraculous pills and magical methods, Although these spirit materials and dao techniques were usually quite valuable, But at this moment, Wang Gen naturally used it impolitely on Zhong Qingzhu. She quickly rescued her arm. It was only because she had delayed for too long that there was still a small impact. In the future, her left arm would be slightly different from ordinary people’s movements. However, if she did not look carefully, she would not be able to tell. At the same time, it would not affect her future cultivation of Dao Arts. It was already considered a great fortune in misfortune.

In comparison, Shen Shi was basically fine. Some minor injuries had healed in the past ten days. The saddest thing was the torment he had suffered in the desperate situation. After being rescued, he was sent back to the cave. After a good rest for a day or two, his entire body almost recovered.

Among them, Wang Gen had come to visit him once, and the other new friends he knew had also come. He Xiaomei, Jiang Hongguang, and even Miss Hai Xing from the Red Clam Village had received news that they had come to visit his cave. However, of course, the person who treated him the most kindly was still Young Friend Sun. These past few days, he had run to his immortal’s cave to talk to him almost every day. Shen Shi couldn’t stand the way he greeted him.

However, when Shen Shi asked him why, Sun Youcai said that after the accident that day, He was also very worried about Shen Shi’s safety. However, when Shen Shi was rescued, Wang Gen and the others had also asked him about the disappearance of Zhong Qingzhu. Only then did Sun You know that on the day of the storm, Shen Shi went to find him and accidentally entered Caibei Beach. This was why Sun You felt a little guilty in his heart. That was why he came here every day.

Of course, Shen Shi wouldn’t argue with Young Master Sun because of this. He smiled and told him not to say anything else. Young Master Sun also smiled. However, during the two days of chatting, Shen Shi learned from Young Master Sun some things that happened on Bluefish Island after he disappeared.

When the storm hit, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu disappeared. No matter what went wrong, Senior Brother Wang Gen was furious in Xuan Ri Hall that day. He scolded all the senior brothers. Then, regardless of the storm, someone from the police station went out to search for them.

However, no one expected the two of them to be swept into the ground by the huge waves and struggle to climb to that secluded cliff valley that no one knew about. Thus, even though Wang Gen and the others searched carefully and almost flipped three feet over the island’s surface, they still couldn’t find them.

After a long time, the hearts of everyone gradually despaired. Most of them guessed that they were probably on the coast before the storm, so they were swept away by the wind and waves, so they couldn’t find anyone. However, among the crowd, only Senior Brother Wang Gen insisted strangely. Even after so long, he still refused to give up on the search and rescue.

Actually, at this point in time, the Lingxiao Sect Sect had naturally received news. Although the disappearance of this newcomer disciple from Qingyu Island was not a monstrous wave in the sect, there were many hidden currents behind it. How many people were secretly waiting to see Wang Gen’s ugliness? It was unknown.

“Fortunately, thanks to Senior Brother Wang’s persistence, I was able to save you.” Young Friend Sun sighed. At the same time, he looked at Shen Shi and smiled, “Oh right, it’s all thanks to the light shield in the sky that I was able to save you from that day. Do you know what it is?”

Shen Shi was stunned. On that day, a mysterious screen of light flashed across the sky. All sorts of strange phenomena followed. Only then did Wang Gen and the others go deep into the cliff to save people. Clearly, that strange white light was the source of his rescue from beginning to end. Hearing Sun You’s words, he hurriedly asked,

“Ah, is that thing really strange? What exactly is it?”
