Chapter 323 Above the Dome
"You want the Cangyun Sword, right?" The mistress's attitude towards them softened considerably. "To be honest, I don't want to save that old man at all, but you two are okay, so I'll do you a favor for your sake."
Both of them knew that she was just being stubborn and smiled in silence.
"But I can only tell you how to get to the top of the dome. How to get the sword after you get up there is not something I can control." said the mistress.
Above the dome, this statement is consistent with what Xu Chuchu saw.
Because strictly speaking, this is not the top of Tianshan Mountain.
This area should be covered with ice and snow, but it is now green and lush because there is a protective layer in the sky that blocks the howling wind and snow, and outside the protective layer is a higher world.
The name "dome" is indeed appropriate.
"Whose territory is above the dome?" Xu Chuchu asked, "If I want to take the sword, whose permission do I need?"
The mistress shook her head: "I can't say."
"She is the one who holds my soul and created this paradise."
"She is the mother of all things and the symbol of life."
"The Cang Yun Sword was left here by her best friend when he ascended to heaven. It has a special meaning to her. Whether you can take it away depends on your sincerity."
The more Xu Chuchu listened, the more strange it seemed to her. Why did the mistress say that the man on the dome was the god of creation?
Could it really be the Queen Mother?
"Why did she build such a beautiful paradise, but she herself lived on ice and snow?" Xu Chuchu wanted to understand a little bit about that existence.
"Because she's not afraid of the cold at all." The mistress glanced at her and said, "Don't ask too much. We don't allow her to be mentioned too often."
"Come with me."
She swayed her body in the water and swam towards the surface.
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu hurried to catch up.
The surface of the water gradually became brighter, and the innocent girls followed one after another, wandering around them not far away, saying goodbye to them.
"Please take good care of Alima for us." Xu Chuchu said to them.
The girls all nodded in agreement and asked her not to worry.
Seeing their happy laughter and friendly faces, Xu Chuchu felt that the "she" on the dome might also have a kind heart.
Instead of letting these girls die in pain, they can accompany each other for eternity, and no one can bully them anymore.
Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu followed the mistress to the surface and saw that the girls were underwater and had not caught up with them. They guessed that they could not leave the Tianchi Lake, but the mistress could.
She floated on the water with a translucent figure and drifted to a tall old tree by the lake.
This old tree is about three or four stories high, with lush green branches and leaves. It is unknown how many years it has lived here, but it draws water from the Tianchi Lake all year round, so it should be rich in spiritual power.
They saw the mistress placing her hands on the tree, muttering something in a language they couldn't understand, and blue halos appeared on the trunk.
"Wait." Xu Chuchu suddenly said, "I'm not feeling well. Can you take us up tomorrow?"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu immediately held her hand.
The mistress didn't even turn around. "Whatever you want, this tree will only last for three days. Just go up during that time. I'll only help you this once. If you miss it, don't come to me. If you put an insincere visitor up there, she'll blame you."
"Has anyone else been here besides us?" Xu Chuchu asked.
"Yes," said the mistress, "there are also fortune tellers like you and demons."
"Why did they all come here? Did 'she' fulfill their wishes?"
The mistress gave her a puzzled look and said, "I don't know. There were only people going up, but no one coming down. Maybe they were sent away by 'her', or maybe they died."
After she finished speaking, she ignored them and focused on dealing with the tree.
Driven by her spiritual power, the branches and leaves of the tree began to grow. Green leaves bigger than humans extended from the top and headed towards the dome.
"Are we going to... climb up along these leaves?" Xu Chuchu felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the "leaf road" that seemed to have no end.
"Why else do you think I gave you three days?" the mistress said lightly, "Of course, I was worried that you would be too slow and run out of time."
After she said these words, she floated to the center of the lake.
"I've done all I can to help. The rest is up to you." She turned and said, "Remember, don't mention me in front of him."
Xu Chuchu knew she was talking about the fox fairy and nodded solemnly.
The mistress seemed to be a person who liked to say one thing and mean another, but this time Xu Chuchu could feel that she was serious.
…
Seeing the mistress sink into the pool, Xiao Yu immediately grabbed Xu Chuchu's shoulders and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you get hurt just now?"
Xu Chuchu shook her head: "It's that old fox's inner core. It has never fully accepted my body, and the last rejection is coming."
Her current cultivation level all came from the seventh-level inner elixir that her master had obtained from the fox fairy using the Sky-Breaking Mirror, but she had never fully absorbed it.
And every once in a while, the inner elixir would rebel, each time more intense than the last.
Every time she survives, her cultivation level becomes higher.
When this time is over, the inner elixir's cultivation will be completely absorbed, and she will have reached the super seventh level of cultivation.
As early as a few days ago when she was on the snowy mountain, she had a premonition that this rejection was coming. She wanted to finish the matter before absorbing it with peace of mind, but now it seems that it is too late.
I don't know if it will be delayed...
"Come." Xiao Yu stood on the shore first and carried the dazed Xu Chuchu out of the water.
Xu Chuchu was stunned: "Oh, I can get up by myself."
She had never disliked Xiao Yu's arm, but when she suddenly realized that he had recovered, she still felt a little dazed.
"We are now at a high level of cultivation, so three days will definitely be enough. You can rest assured and recover." Xiao Yu could always calm her uneasy heart.
The two wasted no time and found an abandoned lizard demon's nest.
There are some small holes on the ground, as if rabbits have lived here before, but it is still relatively clean.
They picked some large, soft leaves and put them on the ground. They also moved stones and broken grass to block the entrance to the nest.
In fact, the space in the nest was not very big, and a normal human could not even sit up straight. The two of them lay down together naturally, and Xiao Yu considerately put his arm underneath to provide a pillow for Xu Chuchu.
"Is this the arm you just grew?" Xu Chuchu hammered it. "How does it feel?"
"Don't worry about me, everything is just as good as before." Xiao Yu held her forehead against his. "You were the one who paid for me before, but you won't need me anymore. Just start, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
