Chapter 600 Chongming
The time goes back to when they just entered the cave where the magic stone was.
When Yun Qingqing raised his sword to chop at the magic stone, Xiao Changheng's right wrist suddenly felt burning. Before he could check on Hao Qing's condition, his eyes suddenly lost focus and his body shook slightly.
But it only lasted for a moment. His eyes refocused and he stood firm. The brief unnaturalness did not alarm anyone.
At that time, Yun Qingqing was setting up the Qimen Dunjia formation, and her energy was focused on the silver wolves that had been drained of their blood. If she had seen Xiao Changheng's eyes at that time, she would have noticed that he was a little different from usual.
Xiao Changheng quietly looked at the girl standing on the high platform. The relief and longing in his eyes surged like the tide, and when no one noticed, it quietly disappeared into the deepest part and turned into a calm undercurrent.
He raised his right wrist slightly, lowered his eyes to glance at the cold white jade bracelet, and gently drew a few patterns with his fingertips.
Yun Qingqing had just suppressed the turbulence caused by the conflict between demonic energy and spiritual power. In the chaos, Xiao Changheng quietly set up a formation on the spot, covering up all movements in the formation. He left his own illusion, then disappeared and walked towards the far exit of the cave.
He moved very quickly and soon reached the exit and entered the valley.
Xiao Changheng stood still, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, then pinched lightly a few times with his fingertips under his sleeves. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had locked onto one direction and he rushed away quickly.
After passing through this valley, they approached the center of the ancient barrier, and before them was a primitive forest that blocked out the sun.
There was almost no road in the forest, but it was not an obstacle for Xiao Changheng. He jumped lightly onto the towering ancient tree and headed straight towards his destination. Soon, he arrived at the center of the forest.
The view suddenly became clear, and there was an open grassland in front of him, with spiritual plants growing there. There was a clear spring in the middle of the grassland, and beside the spring, a woman in colorful clothes was standing with her hands behind her back.
The woman's long hair was cascading down to her ankles, not tied up, and without any hair accessories. Her hair color was strange. In her black hair, only three strands were of gold, red, and blue, which formed some graceful arcs with the breeze.
She sensed someone approaching and turned around, revealing a face that looked extremely beautiful at first glance, but upon closer inspection seemed cold, aloof and unapproachable.
Her eyes were exceptionally bright. If you looked closely, you could see that each eye had two circles of pupils, one inside and one outside. They glowed like gemstones in the sunlight, adding a bit of magnificence and mystery to her.
Her eyes fell on Xiao Changheng for a moment, then turned to the spring water, and she opened her red lips slightly:
"This is the first time the seed has reacted in two thousand years. Is it true that its owner has arrived?"
Xiao Changheng walked to the edge of the spring and followed the woman's gaze towards the center of the water. He saw something glowing at the bottom of the clear water.
The small ball of light was pure white and slowly expanded as if it had just woken up.
Xiao Changheng watched and waited quietly, then suddenly said:
"The Chongmingque clan...are you Ji Yun's descendant?"
The woman's cold face moved slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed across her pupils, and then she understood.
"So the senior and grandfather know each other," she turned and bowed slightly to Xiao Changheng, her tone becoming a little more polite, "I am Ji Yu, the current clan leader of Chongmingque."
The spirit beasts don't have the same rules as humans. Ji Yu felt that his words were accommodating to the etiquette of humans and were very polite.
Xiao Changheng understood clearly and didn't care about her wording. He paused for a moment and asked again:
"Is Jiyun okay?"
Ji Yu lowered his eyes and said softly:
"My grandfather exhausted all his energy to help Liu Jun complete the barrier of this secret realm, and he died more than two hundred years later."
Xiao Changheng was silent.
He had actually guessed this result. After all, if the old man was still alive, he would never entrust the important things in the spiritual spring to others.
