In the midst of the boundless chaos, a mountain cliff shrouded in a white curtain of light floated endlessly. On top of the cliff, a large green tree stands upright, and the green leaves of the tree are all exuding a lustrous luster.

After an unknown number of years, one day, a faint light suddenly flashed on the thick trunk of the tree, and a crystal clear, crystal-like coffin emerged. In the coffin, a woman in a green shirt lay a pale face, skinny, withered, and her hair remained black, but it was also dull. However, it can still be seen that she is a stunning beauty, but for some reason she has become like this.

After the coffin appeared, the sacred tree was full of green, and a hazy luster shrouded the woman in the coffin. Gradually, the woman changed, her whole person began to become fuller, her skin regained its elasticity, her hair was full of shine, her lips became rosy, and her whole person became vibrant, no longer as dead and silent as before.

After some more time, the woman's eyes moved, and slowly opened, and she saw the big tree she was familiar with, and she sat up in a daze, only to find that everything around her was nothingness and chaos, and the world she had been thinking about was gone.

There was a sudden cramp in my heart, and then fear filled my heart. She wanted to know where she was, she wanted to know what had happened, and she wanted to know where the man she had been waiting for for more than 10,000 years......

Under the tree there was a small table with a harp and a sword on it. The qin and the sword are flowing with warm light, the body of the guqin is perched on the xia wood, the strings are phoenix feathers, so the fire is shining; the ancient sword is the blue light is hazy, simple and unpretentious, its sword is like a lotus flower in full bloom, and the original lotus canopy is a yin and yang double fish picture. The familiar piano and sword, but without the familiar person, she had tears in her eyes, stroked the piano and sword, and suddenly, the brilliance bloomed, and a hazy and illusory white figure appeared, with a faint smile on her face, as light as usual.

"Division...... Master!" The woman laughed, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Finally woke up. The white figure seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, this was a delicate and elegant man, with black hair and a shawl, and there was always a faint smile on his face.

"Where have you been, what happened, and where is Shenzhou?" the woman asked with tears in her voice.

"Shenzhou......" The man in white looked at the vast chaos and said, "As you can see, it's gone." ”

The woman's heart tightened and she asked, "So, where have you been?"

The man in white smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to look for me, since you're awake, let's live well." I believe that there will be a day when we will meet each other. ”

"Really?"

"Well, so don't cry because it's ugly. ”

......

"Half-body fairy dust half-body demon,

Three-foot Qingfeng competes;

Morning news, forget the love,

Wisdom Sword Slashes Red Dust!"

She held the ancient sword in her arms, looked at the figure who suddenly became poetic, chanted poetry while slowly disappearing into the chaos, sighed long, and then turned to face the sacred tree, reached out and stroked the tree, and said softly: "I'm leaving, I will live as well as he expected, until one day, I meet him again." ”

A short reunion, but ushered in a longer parting, and a reunion is far away.

The tree shook, the leaves rustling, as if to say goodbye to her, and one or two leaves fell, pierced through the light curtain, and drifted into the unknown distance.

Kyushu has a long history, since ancient times there is a legend of cultivating immortals into gods, there are many sects in the world, and some sects have even been passed down for tens of millions of years, among which there are immortals, there are gods, standing proudly in the clouds, looking down on all beings. In addition to humans, there are other intelligent beings, who are naturally powerful, and coexist with the human race in this vast and magical land.

To the north of Kyushu, after leaving the border of Jizhou, it enters the northern grasslands, and further north is the endless Arctic ice field, and to the north of the ice field is the sea where the border cannot be seen. On the ice field, there is a huge city, called "North Underworld City", this city was built a long time ago, through the magic circle in this city, you can go to the northernmost part of the world, the place called "Return to the Ruins".

This day is extremely important for the guardians of the ruins.

Above the sky, the moon that should have set in the west appeared in the sky above the ruins, and the endless power of Taiyin gathered and poured towards the ruins.

"Great Elder, this is ......" A middle-aged woman looked at the spectacle in shock.

"The power of Taiyin gathers in the ruins, just like the birth of the ancestors, it seems that my Northern Stygian Ice Phoenix clan will have an emperor born again. Another woman, who looked a little older, said with relief.

They stood above the sky, and behind them were a handful of clansmen, some in human form like them, others in the form of ice phoenixes. The Ice Phoenix clan originated from the Guiru, so they are also the guardians of the Guiru, and have always lived in the north of the world.

Time slowly passed, and the power of Taiyin became more and more intense, filling almost the entire ruins, and then the full moon rose, returning to its original trajectory. After some time, when it was dark again, a loud phoenix chirp came from the ice island at the far north. A huge phantom image of an ice phoenix appeared in the night sky, its body covered with ice-blue feathers, its tail feathers fluttering, and it could circle the ruins, and its wings spread out to cover the sky and the moon, flowing with a blue-blue luster. The Ice Phoenix Phantom didn't last long, and after it disappeared, the Ice Phoenix Grand Elder flew to the ruins first, followed by the other clansmen.

The Great Elder landed on Iceland and hurried into a cave that led to the center of the ruins, from where the sound of the phoenix came from. When the other clansmen arrived, the middle-aged woman stopped everyone and motioned for everyone to wait. Guiru is the sacred land of the Ice Phoenix Clan, and only the Great Elder can enter and exit freely in the center of the place, and other clansmen, even the Patriarch, cannot enter casually. Therefore, the people could only wait anxiously.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Great Elder came out, and beside her was a little girl, about two or three years old, with long ice-blue hair and even her eyes were crystal blue. She was calm, so calm that it didn't match her age, and even many people could see the vicissitudes in her eyes.

The Great Elder suppressed the excitement in his heart and announced to all the clansmen: "Ladies and gentlemen, after millions of years in our clan, since the first ancestor, another innate ice phoenix was born in the ruins!

"Meet the Celestial Maiden!" all the ice phoenixes bowed their heads, with reverence. However, Xiyue just nodded, still calm, but didn't say a word.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, and the Great Elder was also surprised, but the little girl looked up at her, smiled, walked to the patriarch of the Ice Phoenix Clan, helped her up, and smiled at her;

The hearts of all the clansmen felt a trace of warmth in their hearts, although they felt incredible about her actions, but they also accepted this "Northern Goddess" from the bottom of their hearts.

In a flash, it was sixteen years.

The city of the North is as peaceful as ever, it is the home of the Ice Phoenix clan and the place where they communicate with the outside world.

Just five days before Xi Yue's eighteenth birthday, something big happened.

"Patriarch, Great Elder, Oh no!" a sixteen-year-old girl ran to the palace in the center of the North Underworld in a panic, where she was busy celebrating Xiyue's eighteenth birthday.

"Youyue, what kind of system are you so flustered?" asked Patriarch Yunyue with a frown, she was in the hall at the moment, reviewing the guest list. Five days later, the birthday of the Heavenly Maiden is a major event for the Ice Phoenix Clan, and the list of distinguished guests who came to celebrate her birthday needs to be seen and confirmed by her again.

"It's the Heavenly Maiden, the Heavenly Maiden, she ......" Youyue gasped, unable to say the next word for a long time.

The Yunyue Patriarch was even more displeased and asked, "What's wrong with the Heavenly Maiden?"

"The Heavenly Maiden is gone!" Youyue finally spoke, showing how anxious she was.

Yunyue was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she had misheard, and seeing that Youyue had calmed down, she asked again, and finally determined one thing: Xiyue, the daughter of Tianjiao of the Ice Phoenix Clan, actually ran away before her birthday! Youyue has been serving her by the side of the Heavenly Maiden since she was a child, but after leaving for a short while, she "lost" the Heavenly Maiden!

Great Elder Wangshu appeared silently and sighed, "Xiyue will also be so willful." ”

Yun Yue couldn't cry or laugh, looked at the guest list in her hand, and said: "Now that the guests have come one after another, but the main owner has run away, I don't know how to end it." ”

Wangshu smiled faintly: "It's okay, the banquet is as usual, and it will be good to satisfy the distinguished guests of all parties when the time comes." ”

"That's all there is to it. Yunyue sighed.

Yes, what else can they do? In five days, no one in the Ice Phoenix Clan may dare to say that they can get Xiyue back. However, Great Elder Wangshu still sent the masters of the clan to find and protect Xiyue. After all, that is their celestial daughter, the future of the clan, and nothing can go wrong.

After crossing the Daxue Mountain in the south of the Arctic ice field, you can enter the grassland in the north, separated by a mountain, the scenery of two seasons: the north of the Daxue Mountain is a frozen winter scene, and the south of the Daxue Mountain is the early spring scene of the grass growing warbler flying, which is actually a great spectacle on the Shenzhou continent.

Xiyue walked among the mountains south of the snow-capped mountains, admiring the scenery completely different from the Arctic ice field, not realizing that it would be her eighteenth birthday in five days, and no matter how anxious the little sister Youyue was at this moment, and how helpless the patriarch and the great elder were.

The creatures living in this area are relatively cold-tolerant, in any case, this is the north of the world, and the overall temperature is definitely lower than that of the south, and the place that is really warm as spring is in the south of the prairie, the place called Kyushu. However, Kyushu is a place of residence for the human race, and other races are scattered around Kyushu, but of course there are some non-human races who live in some special areas in Kyushu.

"Let's go to Kyushu. Xiyue decided so and headed all the way to the south.

Although she was born in an extremely cold place, Xiyue didn't like the cold of the ruins and the ice field very much, especially since those places were always snow-white, and she was tired of seeing them for sixteen years. However, usually the patriarch and the great elder looked at her closely, and didn't want her to enter the world too soon before she became successful, so she escaped from the Northern Underworld City while the clan was busy preparing for her eighteenth birthday banquet.

The plan was very successful, and with her wisdom, it was not difficult to hide from the world, and the little sister and maid with the little tail beside her was also very easy to fool, and everything was much easier to do if she was separated.

In fact, choosing to leave the north at this point in time, Xiyue also had her own considerations, as early as sixteen years ago, when she was born in Guiru, she saw a prophecy related to her at the same time. Half of the reason for running away from home this time was for this prophecy.

The northern steppes are inaccessible, and sometimes you can't see people for two or three days, and even non-human races are not easy to encounter. It's not that there isn't, it's just that the grasslands are too vast, from west to east, from north to south, and dominate the northern part of Kyushu, and its area is even larger than the two large states of Kyushu combined, and because of the natural environment, it is sparsely populated.

After Xiyue entered the grassland, she looked up and saw that it was all half-human tall grass or low bushes, and the wind blowing at night still carried a chilly chill. She regretted a little that it would be easier to walk through the grassland on foot, and it would be easier to directly transform into the ice phoenix body and fly over the grassland, but that would be too eye-catching, and she didn't want to be caught by the tribesmen before she went out of the north, so it would be a waste of her efforts.

But when will it take to leave the grassland......

One evening about two days later, Xiyue was still wandering around the prairie, and at this moment, she actually didn't know which side was south and which side was north. Luckily, though, she found a small pond, washed her face, cleaned up a small area, covered it with a cloth, and sat down to rest. She needs to wait for dark, determine the direction according to the stars, and then fly directly over the savannah regardless of whether she will be spotted or not.

The grassland was not peaceful at night, Xiyue closed her eyes and meditated, and after nightfall, she could already hear the wolf howl in the distance, indicating that this race was foraging.

She opened her eyes, looked at the stars in the sky, and once again made her way, and then she stood up, and the dazzling blue light rose into the sky, and Xiyue's human form disappeared, turning into a huge ice phoenix in the light. The power of the holy beast permeated the four fields, instantly plunging the vast grassland into a dead silence, and as she spread her wings, the ice phoenix flew into the sky and galloped towards the south.

"It's a celestial maiden!"

"Catch up!"

The other two ice phoenixes discovered Xiyue's traces and chased after them in concealment, although they were far away, their cultivation was profound, so they gradually caught up with Xiyue in front.

"The Heavenly Maiden stays!"

"Please return to the Northern Underworld!"

The two of them shouted, they couldn't use strong means against this pearl in their palms, and the Great Elder had also ordered that they should not force Xiyue, so they could only chase her, and they didn't dare to arrest her.

"The two elders, please go back, the little girl will go to the south for a tour, and she will return to the clan. Xiyue replied distantly, and then flapped her wings and sped up.

The Second Elder of the Ice Phoenix Clan, Shadow Yue, and the Third Elder Qing Yue looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Shadow Moon said: "Heavenly Maiden, there are two days before your eighteenth birthday, and the Northern Underworld City will be full of friends. ”

Qingyue also said: "Yes, this is a once-in-a-century event for my clan, please return to the Northern Underworld, and it is not too late to go to Kyushu in the south after these few days." ”

Xiyue decisively refused: "The little girl follows her fate, and she can't delay for a day, please forgive the two elders, but after staying in her heart, she will go home and ask you for her guilt." ”

"Fate?" the two elders paused, "Could it be the prophecy?"

"Exactly, so please go back, Xiyue will take care of herself, please don't worry. Xi Yue walked away without looking back, leaving behind the two elders who were looking at each other.

"Alas, my people have always believed in reincarnation, and they value the instructions of fate above all. Shadow Moon sighed.

"Yes, if it really has something to do with that prophecy, we can't stop the Celestial Maiden. Qingyue said, "Let's go back to our lives first, the Great Elder will make arrangements." ”

Shadow Moon nodded, and the two of them took a deep look at the direction where Xiyue left, no longer chasing them, but flying towards the north, returning to the North Underworld City to resume their lives.

On moonless nights, the stars twinkle.

The vast coast of the East China Sea, Qingzhou of Kyushu, the center of the city is called "Stargazing City", is one of the nine holy cities of Kyushu, near a mansion in the east of the city, a black-clothed masked man quietly went away, and came to the south wall of the stargazing city after turning around in the city, and then took off his disguise, put on a luxurious purple robe, but it was a handsome young man, at this moment the young man's face showed a treacherous smile, and said to himself: "I am in charge of Lao Tzu all day long, I really think that Lao Tzu is so obedient! ”

The city gate was not yet closed, and it was still possible to enter and exit, and the young man walked out of the stargazing city triumphantly, then waved his hand defiantly towards the city gate, and strode away.

It wasn't until dawn that chickens and dogs began to jump in the mansion he had fled.

"Dig three feet into the ground for me, and find the prince too!" a middle-aged man yelled angrily.

The men under him trembled and hurriedly moved.

After learning that the crown prince was missing, he was so frightened that he lost his soul, this time he was invited to attend the banquet of the Ice Phoenix Clan, in addition to congratulating the birthday of the Northern Immortal Heavenly Maiden, there was also the purpose of marriage, but their prince actually ran away secretly! The marriage is not a big deal, and it will not affect the relationship between the two clans. But this prince is the treasure of their clan, and if something happens, this sin is really great! As the person in charge of this trip to the north, he can't afford such a big crime.

Although this prince has been worrying since he was a child, he used to know the severity, but this time he didn't know what nerves he had made, and he actually played this one.

The middle-aged man suspected that when he really found the prince, he would have to pump him, and he would have to pump himself to relieve his anger!
