“Then it’s up to you.”
“Anyway, the dishes you cook are all delicious.”
Lu Miaomiao answered in a wooden house hidden in the mountains. She put on her fluffy slippers and wrapped herself in a cat-eared cloak as she began to prepare lunch.
Although this was the depths of the Fire Calamity, it was unexpectedly a pure land in the human world. It had not been destroyed by the Fire Calamity and maintained its beautiful state.
Due to the temperature, the mountain no longer had four seasons. Instead, the flowers and plants were green, as if it was late spring at all times.
However, only the two of them could enjoy such a beautiful scenery.
Lu Miaomiao put on her slippers and ran out of the house. She heard the sound of a stream in the distance.
She took off her shoes and put on her stockings. She stepped on the long grass that was overflowing with green juice and ran towards the stream. She wanted to catch a fish as her main meal for lunch today.
On the clothes rack outside the door, some clothes and socks were being hung up to dry. They were moving in the wind.
Xia Ji raised his head. Three years ago, they had moved to a numbered town on the outskirts of the city. After living there for a month, they had found it hard to adapt to the environment. During one of their expeditions, they had found such a good place and moved here.
Perhaps Lu Miaomiao could not sense it, but the fire demons had become stronger. They could sense the Black Emperor’s aura, especially when the Black Emperor would unintentionally release some aura to chase them away.
The king’s residence must not have any miscellaneous weapons.
In these three years, Xia Ji had been working hard to break through to the eleventh realm under Lu Miaomiao’s supervision.
On the other hand, he was fusing and connecting even more techniques.
He did not relax or slack off at all. He read when he was asleep, read when he was awake, read when he was standing, read when he was sitting, read when he went out, and read when he came back…
If he wasn’t the Headmaster of the Academy, Lu Miaomiao would have thought that he was a bookworm.
Last year, Xia Ji had already comprehended 360,000 techniques and condensed 36 images.
After that, he stopped as if he had felt a bottleneck and was quietly comprehending.
The feeling of the bottleneck was very subtle. It was like when he had reached the ninth level but could not touch the tenth level.
Just half a step away.
Half a step away.
It was a momentary mistake.
However, the furthest distance in the world was just a thought.
He closed the book and slowly walked out of the house. He sat on a cliff with fragrant grass and casually opened his hands. If the endless Dharma Forms returned to their original state, he would have completed the two processes of ” triggering the phenomenon of heaven and earth ” and ” stopping heaven and earth “. Now, it actually made ” heaven and earth seem completely unaffected, but in fact, they were silently controlled by him. ‘
No, it wasn’t Dominate yet. It was still a little short.
Thirty-six was a special number. It could be compared to the Heavenly Constellation’s thirty-six numbers and cover the entire universe.
For example, nine was the limit of numbers. Once one broke through, one could reach the heavens in one step.
Xia Ji leaned back and pondered.
He might need a battle to complete his epiphany.
But…
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the wooden house.
Smoke was rising from the chimneys, bringing with it the warmth of the human world.
He and Lu Miaomiao had been together for more than 20 years. The two of them had been together day and night, and countless family affairs had happened in between.
Humans were not plants. How could they be heartless? Especially since everything about Lu Miaomiao seemed to complement him, making his heart calm and peaceful.
It was less violent at the beginning and less lonely after that. It was as if it was complete.
This relationship had long transcended the initial matters. If one thought about it, they would not remember anything special happening between them.
This was like the turbulent waves returning to calm, becoming a long stream of water that flowed endlessly.
He had relatives.
Little Su was the younger sister.
Linyu is her biological mother.
An Rongrong, or rather, Su Yueqing, was a comrade and confidant.
Su Tian was the collaborator and the one who invited them to reproduce.
However, the only one who truly entered his heart was Lu Miaomiao.
Before he met Lu Miaomiao, he did not believe in love at all, because he felt that the so-called love was just a reward born from the reproduction of the race. When he met a member of the opposite sex with good looks, good character, and excellent abilities, he would have the desire to marry her.
This was the law of reproduction that was imprinted in the soul.
This law was urging the reproduction of the race, thus giving them the pleasure of reproduction.
It was to identify the good and bad of the race, to promote the combination of the best in the race, to make the race stronger and smarter.
Yes, your other half can be anyone. As long as you follow the above rules, you will be encouraged and there will be no problem.
Love ” was naturally a layer of cover and a lie that deceived others on the spiritual level.
He never believed in this.
But now that he had met Lu Miaomiao, he was a little puzzled.
Because he began to wonder what love was.
He didn’t think that Lu Miaomiao was compatible with him.
She also didn’t think that he wanted to have offspring with Lu Miaomiao.
However, she did not want to be separated.
This made him completely confused.
“Time to eat!” Lu Miaomiao stuck her head out of the window and waved the spatula.
Xia Ji broke free from his thoughts and smiled.
These days of seclusion were probably the happiest times he had ever spent.
As his silver hair danced wildly, there was no sign of old age at all.
Thirty-six images circled around him, making him feel as if he had transcended the mortal world.
However, this person still pushed open the door and sat in front of the wooden table. He took a deep breath and smiled. “It smells so good.”
Miao Miao began to eat her lunch, full of energy. Xia Ji was also influenced by her, and they ate their lunch happily together.
“Nanbei, I feel like you’re much more energetic now. Are you still not about to break through to the eleventh realm?”
“Miao Miao…Actually …” Xia Ji exhaled. ” You should know that people like me can’t break through. ‘
The expected silence did not appear.
‘ No, ” Lu Miaomiao said. ” If you don’t break through, how can you live for 500 years? If you don’t live, I won’t live alone. ” If you die, I die too.”
Xia Ji could feel the sincerity in her words.
Lu Miaomiao continued, ” Let’s break through quietly and stay far away from them. This world is so big. If you break through, we’ll run overseas. The Endless Ocean is so big. They won’t be able to find us. Then we can build our own home overseas. Isn’t that good?”
“You know all about it,” Xia Ji said with a smile.
Lu Miaomiao rolled her eyes. But you can’t do it now. You have to break through. If you don’t break through, I’ll cry every day.”
“How much do you know?” Xia Ji asked.
Lu Miaomiao counted her fingers and said, ” I know that the current Sister Chan isn’t the past Sister Chan. The past Sister Chan was silly. Then, she suddenly changed and became smart and powerful. ‘
Sister Chan must have become a shell of something…But that thing is very good to me.
After that, I secretly observed many details. Combined with the attitude and orders of the family, I was almost certain that that thing was our Lu family’s ancestor.
Since our Lu Clan ancestor could do this, the other four clans and the Grand Supreme Palace might also have these people.
I thought about it again. Our aristocratic families have existed for ten thousand years, so I can guess many things.”
‘ You can’t stop breaking through just because you’re afraid of them, ” Lu
Miaomiao said. ” If you die, I’ll definitely die too. ” I’m not lying to you.” “Then why did the Lu Family Patriarch treat you so well?” Xia Ji asked. Lu Miaomiao thought for a long time and shook her head. She really didn’t know.
Suddenly, her eyes moved and she said softly, ‘”‘Nanbei, I have an idea.”
“What is it?”
“We disappeared from the world for three years. After that, as long as people see us heading into the depths of the fire tribulation and never return, they will be able to determine that we are dead.
“Then, we can take the risk to pass through the depths of the Tribulation Land and go around to the north. Then, you can complete your breakthrough in the north and break free from the shackles of a mortal’s hundred years of lifespan.
After that, we’ll go out to sea from the port in the north and find an island overseas to build a world that belongs to us.”
Xia Ji was truly tempted.
If he established a world overseas, he would be able to jump out of this game of chess. Then, he would be able to unleash his specialties, condense Skill Orbs, and improve continuously. At the same time, he would be able to remotely control the Central Plains from overseas. If he encountered any major changes, he would be able to quietly return. It was not a bad thing to be free and unfettered in such a vast world.
However, before that, he still needed to do something.
