Chapter 731 Prove the Way with Strength

There are no calendars in the mountains, and the years are unknown when the cold ends.

The caves of Zhao Xinghe and Hong Zhong stand side by side on an unknown peak in Beishan. They have been secluded here for years.

This morning, Zhao Xinghe found that Hong Zhong's expression was a little different. He looked more cheerful and less depressed than usual.

"Did it work?"

Zhao Xinghe asked in surprise.

"It worked."

Hong Zhong replied shyly.

"It's something worth being happy about. Let's have a drink today and come down the mountain later."

He said happily, turned around and went back to the cave to heat up the barbecue, took out two jars of wine, and went back outside to drink with Hong Zhong.

The two didn't say much while drinking, but they both looked very happy. Hong Zhong wanted to share his experience, but was stopped by Zhao Xinghe.

"You have to figure it out yourself. If you can't figure it out, there's no point in talking about it. Today, we'll just drink and not talk about anything else."

His bold words were a little more calm and a little less frivolous. It seemed that his personality had changed a lot in these years of seclusion.

When Hong Zhong saw Zhao Xinghe say this, he nodded and said nothing, just drinking with him.

When the wine was finished, it was already the waning sun. Hong Zhong walked away on the snow, and Zhao Xinghe waved goodbye to him.

A series of footprints were left on the snow, spreading to the foot of the mountain. The footprints continued from the foot of the mountain to the south, to the end of the world.

Zhao Xinghe stood here for a long time without moving, until it was dark for a long time, and then he sighed.

After years of hard training, Hong Zhong, who had the greatest potential but the weakest ability, has already made a breakthrough. Only Zhao Xinghe can't make any further progress no matter what.

He felt sad, but he didn't know who to tell.

Not long ago, news came from the capital that Cai Lian'er and Zhuo Bai were married, and the only person he wanted to confide in also disappeared.

He turned around and wanted to go back to the cave, but he stopped in front of the cave.

What's the point of going back?

I'm the only one on this mountain. Is there any difference between inside and outside?

Zhao Xinghe stopped and sat cross-legged on the snow. Looking up at the sky full of stars, he felt very heavy.

His talent is between Zhuo Bai and Hong Zhong. His talent is the power of starlight, which is also called heavy water by Taichu.

The spiritual energy generated by his talent is as heavy as a thousand pounds, making the silver spear in his hand like a mountain and a river. Enemies will fall down if they touch it, and will be injured if they touch it.

But now it is extremely difficult to merge his will with it. The reason is still this talent.

The heavy water spiritual energy is too dense, and the consciousness cannot enter at all.

It can't enter, let alone merge.

It really fulfills the sentence in the story:

what makes you successful will also restrict you in the future.

In this situation, he also sought help from Renzu and Taichu. In the end, Taichu and Shi Shang discussed and gave a solution that was not a solution:

since the consciousness cannot merge with the heavy water spiritual energy, just let the heavy water spiritual energy merge into the body, just like the totem power at the beginning.

No one has tried this method, and no one knows whether it will succeed or not, and no one knows what the consequences will be.

Taichu thought that this method might be able to prove the truth in the future.

He thought that it was not a definite answer, so Zhao Xinghe still insisted.

"Alas, I never thought that one day, I would sigh."

With a sigh, Zhao Xinghe suddenly sat up straight. He decided to give it a try.

Even if Taichu and Shi guessed, the worst result would be that his cultivation would not progress. Compared with the current situation, what is the difference?

After thinking it through and seeing it clearly, Zhao Xinghe no longer hesitated and started to shake his Dantian directly.

"Bala..."

In the Dantian, the heavy water aura rolled like lead and mercury, and then he controlled it to flow into the meridians in his body.

Unlike before, this time the heavy water aura will always leave some attached to those meridians. If this continues for a long time, the meridians will be blocked and it will be difficult to practice in the future.

But this is the first step to change the method of practice, and it is also an important step.

If the meridians cannot bear the weight of the remaining heavy water aura and collapse, his practice will be wasted.

But as long as he proceeds step by step and handles it carefully, there will be no big problem.

It's just that he was a little depressed today, and he drank a little too much, so there was a lot of heavy water aura left in the meridians.

If this continues, he will be on a path that he can't turn back.

If Shi was here, or Taichu was here, they would naturally not allow him to do this, but unfortunately no one is here.

On the empty mountain, there was only him, sitting cross-legged in the moonlight.

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, and snowflakes fell from the sky.

Zhao Xinghe remained motionless, and the snow grew heavier and heavier, slowly covering him and wrapping him up completely.

The snow was heavy, and it lasted for three days. Zhao Xinghe, who was sitting cross-legged, turned into a snowman, and he was still cultivating inside.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of people came up, led by Zhuo Bai. He is now learning how to handle the affairs of the alliance from the leader, and is the candidate for the next generation leader.

Hong Zhong, who came down the mountain ten days ago, was also accepted as a disciple by Mang Wu. It seemed that he intended to take over Wu's job.

Mang Wu is a demigod, and he doesn't have to worry about his life span, but dealing with affairs for many years is tiring, and he also needs to rest.

Hong Zhong has always been smart and has great potential, so choosing him as the successor naturally has the support of the top leaders of the alliance.

After meeting Hong Zhong, Zhuo Bai had always wanted to go up the mountain to see Zhao Xinghe in seclusion, but he was afraid that he might be depressed, so he just left today.

Everyone went up the mountain in the heavy snow, and saw a snowman at the entrance of the cave. Zhuo Bai and his wife Cai Lianer smiled at each other.

"Big Brother Xinghe is in a good mood. It seems that we are worried for nothing."

Cai Lian'er said with a smile.

Zhuo Bai nodded and was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly looked at the snowman in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Cai Lian'er asked in confusion.

"This snowman... is Big Brother Xinghe."

Zhuo Bai's words startled Cai Lian'er. She hurried forward and wanted to dig up the snow to see, but was stopped by Zhuo Bai in an instant.

"Don't move. Big Brother Xinghe is still running his spiritual energy. You can easily scare him like this."

Cai Lian'er hurriedly stopped after hearing this.

She has been practicing for many years, so she naturally understood what Zhuo Bai meant. She was a little annoyed that she was too worried.

"Then what should we do?"

Cai Lian'er asked.

Zhuo Bai thought for a moment and said, "I'll be watching over Big Brother Xinghe here. You should go back quickly and ask Renzu Shi or Taichu to come.

Cai Lian'er agreed and went down the mountain to look for him without saying anything.

Zhuo Bai waited anxiously. After about two hours, Shi flew over.

"Greetings, Renzu."

Zhuo Bai bowed and saluted. Shi waved his hand in return and looked directly at the snowman.

"Are there any unusual movements?"

Shi asked.

"No, there has been no movement and the fluctuations of the spiritual energy are relatively stable."

Zhuo Bai hurriedly stated his observations.

Shi nodded and walked around the snowman to confirm what Zhuo Bai said.

"Renzu, Big Brother Xinghe...which way did he take?"

Zhuo Bai had been here for a long time and had already had some ideas, so he asked.

Shi nodded and said, "Probably."

As he was speaking, the snowman suddenly shook, and then snowflakes flew out in all directions. In the center of the snowflakes, there was a little starlight shooting out.
