"I have good news for you. I have advanced to the realm of the Supreme One."
Xia Xiao's face was full of smiles. Although Qulun and Cantian were only one step away, they represented whether one had entered the ranks of the strong. And that layer of shackles did not stump Xia Xiao. He just kept accumulating his vitality in his body, and the vitality tree naturally grew stronger, and finally broke through the shackles and became a huge towering tree.
The tree was lush and dense, supporting the sky in Xia Xiao's five-element space. Now, Xia Xiao would face the challenge of asking for the truth, but that step stopped countless practitioners, but he didn't think it was difficult, because he was extremely excited to see Ah Zhu, who was happy for him, throw himself into his arms.
"Very good!"
Ah Zhu was held by Xia Xiao and turned around, laughing and talking happily, which was a rare sight in this desolate place. Therefore, they quickly suppressed their excitement and bowed deeply to the deep bamboo forest behind them, hoping that the elders would forgive their impoliteness.
Many people from the academy rest in this sunny and bamboo-filled place. Although many people died without leaving any bones, and only their belongings were in the simple coffins, they were all remembered by the academy. However, Xia Xiao was a little undecided about how to commemorate the people who died in the war. But before the training was over, he said to Ah Zhu after paying his respects:
"We must seize the time and break through the shackles of the Great Wilderness as soon as possible."
"Alright! I have become more and more proficient in controlling the power in my body, and I can even reach out to the outside of the wilderness."
"Is Yu Shangyan still alive? Where is she?"
In fact, from the evil spirit in the meteorite, it can be seen that she is still alive. Xia Xiao feels that the evil spirit is not from Que Dan, but the moon has been broken, where is she hiding now? Xia Xiao is eager to know, but Ah Zhu shakes her head a little embarrassedly because she has not tried yet. Seeing this, Xia Xiao hurriedly said:
"It's okay, let's continue!"
"Take a few minutes' rest. Proper rest is beneficial to cultivation."
Looking at Ah Zhu's clear and bright eyes, Xia Xiao nodded, and sat on the lawn, staring at the academy not far away. Among the many students, Xia Xiao was not the only one who had a strong attachment to the academy. This place full of magic attracted countless people and sent countless people away. But their hearts, unlike their bodies, did not leave, but always stayed here.
After watching for a long time, Xia Xiao sighed and muttered:
"What a pity! If I didn't have any demonic energy, I could still go back and take a look."
The mountain protection formation seemed to respond to Xia Xiao, emitting a wave of fluctuations, causing an invisible shield to appear in Xia Xiao's eyes. He looked at it with a heavy heart, but Ah Zhu pulled his hand and said with a smile:
"I'll go pick some peaches for you!"
"May I come in?"
"Of course, I am now a god-like existence!"
After Ah Zhu finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot and stood on the blue brick square. Xia Xiao saw him and waved to him. She saw him and responded, then stepped onto the mountain road and walked into the peach forest.
The peach blossoms in the college bloom for a long time and bear a lot of fruit, which makes people feel that they have bloomed and borne fruit many times. The flowers are beautiful, covering the mountains and plains like a sea, and the peaches are sweet, filling the tip of the tongue and the mouth.
Xia Xiao quickly ate the peach. In this slightly hot weather, he took a bite. The moisture and sweetness made him feel like he was back in the summer days. After feeling happy, Xia Xiao smiled and took a nap with Ah Zhu in the shade of the bamboo forest. He was empty-minded and didn't think about anything.
This state could not last long, after all, being completely relaxed was not as good as focusing on work. So Xia Xiao soon showed some worry, and Ah Zhu's eyes were also somewhat desolate. The loneliness and loss made Xia Xiao feel distressed. He knew that Ah Zhu had lost the person she didn't want to lose the most, so he hugged her waist and whispered:
"Let's get on with it!"
"Um."
Ah Zhu nodded, and then the two of them sat cross-legged together. Xia Xiao formed a seal. This time, it was not just about absorbing the vital energy, but he began to comprehend and seek the way to ask for the truth. Xia Xiao had no experience and could only rely on himself to explore. He didn't know what would happen in the future, but it would definitely take a lot of time. This was inevitable.
Xia Xiao quickly entered a very deep state, and Ah Zhu began to look for Yu Shangyan's whereabouts. When Xia Xiao broke through the shackles of the Great Wilderness, they could take the initiative to attack. In fact, Ah Zhu could fight as long as she found him, but she was a little unconfident. Compared with the cunning Yu Shangyan, she was just a small witch, and she had to work with Xia Xiao.
From this moment on, this period of time that no one knew when it would end began. There was only one thing left in Xia Xiao and Azhu's lives, and that was to become stronger!
Since Xia Xiao came to the Great Wilderness, he has been doing this almost all the time. At first, he became stronger to satisfy his curiosity. Later, he became stronger to protect his family and regain his dignity. Now, Xia Xiao is very clear about his goal. Although he is also becoming stronger, this time he is doing it for the people of the world. Of course, repaying his master and predecessors is also an important reason.
Ah Zhu extended her senses to the outside of the Great Wilderness, and carefully searched for Yu Shangyan. Because the outside of the Great Wilderness was too big, her search was very slow, but this process was also a good opportunity to exercise and use that power. Therefore, Ah Zhu never tired of searching, like searching for a treasure chest that was nowhere to be found.
One focuses on himself, the other devotes himself to the outside world. Xia Xiao and Azhu are a perfect match. Although their days are boring and such a life repeats itself for several days or even longer in the blink of an eye, they both enjoy it and are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves.
After the clear weather, there were several heavy rains. The heavy rain in summer came very quickly and with great momentum, pouring down. Xia Xiao and Azhu held their breath, blocking all the raindrops above their heads, silently waiting for their goal to be achieved.
The bamboo forest, which was originally dark green, turned emerald green after a rain, and many bamboo shoots emerged. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu were still sitting cross-legged. After a long period of sunny weather, it rained again, washing away everything. The bamboo shoots grew longer, and many of them became well-deserved straight bamboos, but they held on to the green mountains and refused to let go.
Ordinary days are just about being with yourself and being serious with yourself. Xia Xiao thinks every day, sensing the world around him, and even the entire wilderness. Ah Zhu is much better in comparison, because the world she sees is more gorgeous. Beyond the wilderness is a vast sea of stars, with many stars and countless nebulae, which are fascinating to see. Ah Zhu once stared at it for a long time without moving his eyes.
After a few gusts of wind, someone finally noticed Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu in the green tomb behind the bamboo. They didn't know why Xia Xiao did this, but seeing him sitting upright, they felt vaguely extraordinary and proud. Because although this little guy had a demonic aura, he still had an upright heart.
With their company, Xia Xiao's ordinary life just began. It was a peaceful day without any ripples. Every day was the same, nothing special, but Xia Xiao was looking for his own happiness in such repetitive years, trying to become different at the other end of time and become as strong as the top of the academy.
The grass beneath his seat was lush and then gradually turned withered and yellow, finally losing its youthful color and becoming haggard, as if it would break at the slightest touch. Then, the peach forest in the distance also began to drop its leaves, as did the bamboo forest behind him. When many withered and yellow narrow leaves fell, Xia Xiao, who had just woken up, could not help but sigh.
"Autumn is here..."
This summer is an extremely terrifying thing for Xia Xiao because it represents war.
The war was short, but it consumed the entire beautiful summer. Xia Xiao spent the rest of the days practicing, but until now, there was still no result. To achieve the Tao and escape from the heavens, it is not as easy as one might think. Xia Xiao never found out about his Tao, so he stopped moving forward. But looking at the autumn day, Ah Zhu still hadn't found out about Yu Shangyan's whereabouts.
"Will she go back to the world above to seek revenge? Or is she already lingering on and was blasted into the universe by Que Dan, becoming a drifting creature?"
Ah Zhu had a bold imagination, because she really hadn't found any trace of Yu Shangyan. Xia Xiao thought it was possible, but when he felt vaguely uneasy, he asked Ah Zhu in the bleak autumn wind:
"If you were injured one day, where would you most like to go?"
"Of course I have to go home. It's a safe place so I can recover properly."
Xia Xiao nodded in agreement, he would do the same, and Ah Zhu understood the reason. Yu Shangyan was sealed outside the Great Wilderness for 30,000 years, like being locked outside the house for a long time.
In the long years, there will be endless anger, but she will not go to the above world immediately. Xia Xiao thinks she will come back, but now she may be recuperating in the universe, or absorbing the Origin Emperor.
Thinking that even the Great Emperor Qishi was unable to defeat Yu Shangyan, the latter's terror made Xia Xiao close his eyes again. The time of this retreat would be extended, and Ah Zhu's exploration of the outside of the Great Wilderness would also continue.
Such a simple thing took a long time to do, and it was a bit boring. But when Xia Xiao was improving his strength, Ah Zhu never left, but when he stopped occasionally, he could no longer eat the delicious peaches from the academy, and could only stare at the bare peach forest in a daze, as if everything was gone and could not be reversed.
This feeling was not pleasant, and even made Ah Zhu doubt her life. But she knew she shouldn't do this, because Xia Xiao was still doing his thing, so how could she back down?
Xia Xiao has already walked halfway up the mountain in front of him, and this time he is close to the top without any external force. He once yearned for the world above, and he has been climbing mountains since he was a cultivator. Now that he has reached this height, he is very excited, but he is also becoming more and more cautious, because the higher he stands, the worse he will fall.
"Go higher!"
Xia Xiao told himself this over and over again, constantly urging himself to move forward.
As a self-aware person, Xia Xiao has many flaws. Just as Ah Zhu said, since she became stronger, Xia Xiao himself is not as confident as before, but has many concerns. But he feels that his greatest characteristic is perseverance. No matter how hard it is, he can persuade himself to stick to one thing.
This seemingly simple stubbornness actually requires great courage, and blind persistence is not enough, you also need to understand some things.
Xia Xiao understood that he always knew what he wanted, what he wanted to do, and how to do it. So no matter how long it took, he could not get rid of his yearning to improve his strength, and no matter how hot September was, he would not forget his goal.
Xia Xiao was like a statue, and Ah Zhu looked at him for a long time with her white chin propped up. Ah Zhu began to feel bored. She really couldn't find Yu Shangyan, so she set up a thin shield outside the wilderness.
When it comes, Azhu will sense it at the first moment, so there is no need to keep looking for it.
Although Ah Zhu's current strength is comparable to Yu Shangyan's, the latter's cunning is incomparable to Ah Zhu. How many bad thoughts can a little girl have? If she didn't have bad thoughts, she wouldn't know what Yu Shangyan was thinking, nor could she find where she was. But in the process of searching, Ah Zhu found the Emperor Qishi.
If Ah Zhu remembered correctly, the Emperor Qishi was a giant dragon fish with extremely sharp teeth like steel bayonets. He floated in the universe, and always circled the wilderness with the broken moon. I wonder if he wanted to throw himself into the sea again. But this sea is lonely, and there are few wild beasts and sea beasts in the sea. He will never see the sea world in its heyday again. The prosperity at that time has been taken away by the creatures on land, caused by Yu Shangyan.
The purpose of the existence of the Emperor Qishi for 30,000 years was revenge, but the result of hitting the moon in anger was that he drifted away with the moon outside the wilderness. This result did not seem to be the true ending, because the ending should be better. If it is not particularly good, it means it is not the end yet.
Ah Zhu persuaded herself like this, and at the same time waited, waiting for a great change. But Xia Xiao didn't know when to wake up. As a god who fell into the mortal world, Ah Zhu could help Xia Xiao break through the shackles of the wilderness, because she had felt that feeling, but she really didn't understand about entering the Dao.
Master once said that the realm of seeking the Tao is to find one's own unique Tao. This realm is called seeking the Tao, and also called seeking the Tao. When one finds one's own Tao, one will be able to receive the response of the Great Wilderness, and one's strength will be unprecedentedly improved, which is very different from the towering sky. And the top of the cloud has, to a certain extent, freed oneself from the constraints of the Great Wilderness, and when one surpasses oneself, there is even the possibility of freeing oneself from the constraints of the Great Wilderness.
When Hu Bugui told Ah Zhu about this, she didn't really listen, she just wrote down these few words, because she didn't expect that she could get to this point, and so quickly. But opportunities are like this, when something comes, you can't go slow. But her steps did keep up with the pace of the Great Wilderness, extremely fast.
After deciding not to look for Yu Shangyan anymore, Ah Zhu sat in front of Xia Xiao and watched him, waiting for him to break through his current state and reach the state of asking. Xia Xiao never disappoints others, and soon woke up and said happily:
"I have touched the threshold of seeking the truth, and I have found my own path."
"Are you going to be promoted soon?"
“Almost there!”
The weather was getting colder, Xia Xiao held Ah Zhu's hand, and felt a very pleasant warmth. Then, he continued to practice, and this concentration made Ah Zhu feel a little helpless, but who made him choose such a crazy person?
Since I have made the choice, I will wait without regrets. But during the long wait, Ah Zhu looked outside, as if he wanted to know what the world outside was like.
Ah Zhu playfully closed his eyes, and when the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the whole wilderness was in his eyes. Ah Zhu may not have realized that people who are too strong will leave this world, but once she leaves, the so-called balance will be broken. But the balance will always be restored by the appearance of some special things.
