The starry sky of the academy is always much brighter than that of the mortal world. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu sat below, hugging each other and admiring the starry sky. Although they have always been by each other's side, they have not seen each other for several months. At this time, they cherish the starry night very much.

Xia Xiao turned his head from time to time and glanced at Ah Zhu. Although there were still many mysteries in his heart that had not been solved, he was used to this feeling and just indulged in the beauty of the moment. Watch the stars when the stars are bright, and watch the sun when the sky is white. In the past, Xia Xiao always wanted to stand on the top of the mountain to see what this wilderness was like.

He had always thought that when he reached the realm of the Way, he would be able to see the true meaning of everything in the world, understand more things, and no longer be troubled. But when he thought of his master, who had already reached the top of the cloud, there were still many things blocking him, making it difficult for him to solve them. Now, even if he himself entered the realm of the Way, there were still many things he didn't understand that no one could answer. This was the norm, and he didn't need to worry too much and bother himself.

Xia Xiao felt that he was not standing high enough. Now, he was just standing at the same height as Tianlong. When many seniors in the academy were still there, he could not be so presumptuous even if he did so, because there were many people who were stronger than him. So Xia Xiao did not lose his humility. On a sunny noon, with the encouragement of Azhu, he formed a seal again and began to sense a higher realm.

Seeing Xia Xiao close his eyes, Ah Zhu pouted her lips in grievance, feeling extremely unhappy, but she just hugged her Doudou and walked towards the academy. The latter comforted her, but she just whispered:

"It's okay. We've waited so long. We don't need to miss the last few months."

She found some food in the school cafeteria and cooked her own meals. When her partner was not around, Ah Zhu learned to wait and entertain herself with peace of mind. Besides, she did not lose the whole world without Xia Xiao. She still had Doudou and Xiaodiandian. Now that she finally had time to spend with them, she would not let it go.

Ah Zhu became an elf hidden in the academy, every step was very playful, every expression was not tainted by the world. She came from the fireworks of the world and returned to the fireworks, her face was blackened by the smoke from the kitchen. But the clarity in her eyes was still the same as before, like a stream, you can see the stones under it, very clear.

The divine candle that illuminates the world was only lit for Xia Xiao at this time. Ah Zhu sat on the blue brick square from time to time, and seeing Xia Xiao still sitting cross-legged, he lost interest, so he took a broom and started from the blue brick square, sweeping the entire foothill clean, as if there were still people living there, and it was not so deserted.

Although Ah Zhu was sometimes lazy and liked to sleep late, she was a person who could not sit still. Every day, she swept from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, sweeping every road clean, which surprised the pot of garlic flowers in the dark. But when he was not paying attention, Ah Zhu would turn her head and make a face at him, making him hide quickly. But it was easier for Ah Zhu to find him than for him to hide.

In this repetitive process, the woman in the red dress became a fixed figure in the academy. One person, one dog, a pot of flowers, and a big narwhal lived like this, and soon the early spring came after the long winter.

The peach trees in the academy were the first to feel the change. Before the snow had completely melted, they sprouted tiny buds, trying to see if anyone would come to appreciate their beauty in the new year. But now, it was still a deserted scene.

People have always appreciated peach blossoms, and peach blossoms appreciate people, but now there is only Ah Zhu walking around the academy, which makes them less interesting. But it does not affect their blooming, they will always bloom as usual, welcoming everything that is coming with the most beautiful posture. They believe more than anyone else that the academy will definitely recover its vitality, and they will be the first touch of spring and a sign of the revival of all things.

Under the peach forest, a stream flows, dressing up the peach trees. Ah Zhu washes her hands under a tender bud, and scoops up a handful of slightly cold water, sprinkling it on her pretty face, which is no longer tender but youthful. That beautiful posture seems to compete with the peach trees, an existence that cannot be matched by the blooming flowers.

"Haruhi is here."

Ah Zhu smiled, feeling as if she were bathed in spring breeze, and looked at Xia Xiao on the side of the mountain with her clean face. He still hadn't woken up, but she was not in a hurry, and just jogged with Doudou on the grass with thin snow, her face full of joy.

As long as Tianming and the others don't come looking for her, it means that there is nothing wrong in the Great Wilderness, and that's all good. Ah Zhu hates the feeling of being busy, and those things make her feel overwhelmed. She can help others, and she is still quite enthusiastic, but she doesn't like to use her brain, so she only wants to know how to solve the problem, and doesn't want to think.

This kind of life is simply a paradise. Ah Zhu would tell Doudou some stories about his childhood. Sometimes, he would be in high spirits and just wave his hand, and he would become a human being. Doudou was amazed at himself, and Ah Zhu laughed so hard that he fell backwards. But with another wave of his hand, he returned to normal.

Xia Xiao didn't have their leisurely mood, just immersed in his own perception. This perception was different from the previous one. Xia Xiao was no longer without a way, and he didn't have to search for so long. It was just that after an opportunity, he improved his strength, but the progress was small.

Xia Xiao had seen many strong people who had been in their original realm for a long time, so it was not easy to improve. Just like the senior sister and many other strong people in the academy, it was very difficult to get from the towering level to that level, and there was no improvement after that. But Xia Xiao gradually discovered that although his strength improved very slowly, it had been changing, and it could be easily observed, just like a water bottle, although it had been receiving only drops of water, it was still increasing.

This situation made Xia Xiao a little nervous because it was too strange. He tried to communicate with the Great Wilderness Consciousness, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed. It was not as difficult as he thought. But he just asked about his strength, and he found the Great Wilderness Consciousness. Why did he have to follow her footsteps to find her?

There was a strange rhythm around Xia Xiao, and then it began to rain. The rain was not a downpour, nor was it a drizzle. Xia Xiao didn't know whether it was real rain or just falling deep in his consciousness. He just stared at the woman walking towards him. He had met her once before, but she was not familiar with him.

The woman was very young, shrouded in the hazy light. Even Xia Xiao couldn't see any of her features at the moment. He could only tell that her slender body was covered in a light blue dress, and her bare feet were standing on the snow-covered meadow. The snowflakes had completely melted, and Xia Xiao didn't feel cold, but the sight of such a woman always made him feel pitiful.

The woman was like an ordinary person, stepping on the water made of rain and thin snow on the ground, creating ripples. But the hazy light around her made Xia Xiao extremely obsessed. Such a temperament was rare in the Great Wilderness, even compared with Azhu, it was a little different, which made Xia Xiao stare at it for a long time, and then bowed when he came to his senses.

"Excuse me."

Dahuang was drenched in the rain, and so was Xia Xiao. But when he raised his head, he still couldn't see her face clearly. He could only see a rough and frightening outline.

"You are curious, right? Why can you improve your strength so easily?"

"Hmm! Is it because there are fewer human practitioners? Or is it for the sake of balance?"

"Neither. There is no balance anymore. I don't care anymore."

This voice did not sound like a girl's, but was still the same as the one Xia Xiao had heard before, neither thick nor thin, just like the harmony of the world. But Xia Xiao did not understand what she meant, and she sat on the meadow full of ice water in despair, as if she had given up on herself and did not want to do anything anymore.

"What happened?"

Xia Xiao sat beside her, wanting to ask what happened. It seemed that there was something else behind his easy improvement in strength.

The girl transformed by Dahuang's consciousness was looking at somewhere unknown. Xia Xiao could see clearly that her skin was so white, her wrists were so thin, and her slender waist was like the sum of all the beautiful things in the world. He was afraid that he could not see her face, because it was like a vague scene in a dream, which would always have some flaws and could not be made up for.

Under Xia Xiao's long gaze, she still chose to speak, and said worriedly:

"Everything has a balance and cannot be too biased towards one side. In the beginning, because the power in the Great Wilderness was too strong and there were too many creatures, I transformed into a human form and walked around the Great Wilderness. When the power of the Demonic Path became unprecedentedly strong, enough to annihilate the Righteous Path, I gave birth to many Righteous Path strongmen without the knowledge of the people. For example, most of those who have reached the Daoist realm in your academy became so strong because of me."

"But now, the ending was supposed to be good, and the balance could have been maintained. But you and Ah Zhu are not bound by me, and you are going to break the balance. And they are coming, and their self-proclaimed mercy will cause the balance of the Great Wilderness to completely collapse. At that time, this world will be destroyed, not because of danger, but because of the exhaustion of vitality. The unprecedented increase in practitioners will only increase the burden on the Great Wilderness, and the Great Wilderness is no longer able to carry so many people."

"What do you mean? There are only a few human practitioners left, and who are they?"

Xia Xiao was confused, but the consciousness of the Great Wilderness beside him suddenly became distant. She kept crying desperately, as if the heavy rain was her tears. She continued crying, which made Xia Xiao feel upset. He just wanted to know the truth, but the consciousness transformed by the Great Wilderness didn't seem to want to tell him everything.

"Hey, tell me!"

Xia Xiao originally thought that after improving his strength and breaking through the shackles of the Great Wilderness, he and Ah Zhu would be able to solve the current problems of the Great Wilderness by eliminating Yu Shangyan. As for balance, Xia Xiao wanted to cultivate some human race strongmen, then leave the Great Wilderness and go to the above world. This world currently has no worries, and according to the current events, they must leave, it is only a matter of time. But now the Great Wilderness consciousness made Xia Xiao undecided.

What's even worse is that when Xia Xiao woke up, what Dahuang said to him suddenly became vague, and he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried. He felt that his brain was in a mess, as if it had been stirred into paste.
