The desert is lonely, and a blood-colored sunset hangs in the sky, pouring the last rays of afterglow.

In the rolling quicksand, a figure stood as steadily as a rock in the turbulent current.

Ever since Hai Yuan's demonic training on him began, Xue Yi had been cultivating in this quicksand for more than a month. During this month, Xue Yi rested at home as usual at night, and during the day, he left home under the pretext of going to the mountains to explore, in fact, he followed Haiyuan to shuttle through space and come to this quicksand world to cultivate.

A month has passed, and now this endless sand flow can no longer bring too much threat to Xue Yi. The muscles torn by the quicksand have been repaired over and over again by the powerful healing power of the Extreme Light Element, as if they have been tempered by thousands of steels, and the strength has increased somehow. According to Xue Yi's conservative estimate, it is probably difficult for ordinary people to leave traces on their bodies with swords in their hands now.

"Huh-" A ghostly figure swept down from the boulder, grabbed Xue Yi's shoulder, and immediately lifted Xue Yi to the boulder more than ten zhang high like an eagle catching a rabbit.

"Master. Xue Yi looked at the unfathomable sea abyss in front of him, who was still dressed in dark clothes, and bent down to salute.

Today's Xue Yi has deep admiration for Haiyuan. Hai Yuan's one-month devil training for him not only allowed Xue Yi to train his ** strength to a height that was difficult for a powerhouse of the same level to achieve, but also allowed him to comprehend the body realm of the Water Ripple Realm in the quicksand. In just one month, he had such a radical change.

If Xue Yi was only in awe of Haiyuan in terms of strength at the beginning, then now, it is respect from the heart.

Hai Yuan stood solemnly on the edge of the cliff, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his faint tone: "In the past month, your progress has exceeded my expectations. Originally, I was going to spend a month and a half exercising your fitness, but I didn't expect you to meet my expectations in just over a month. And the body realm of the Water Ripple Realm is even more of a surprise. ”

"Master Xie. Xue Yi was also very happy when he heard this, it was not easy to finally hear this kind of praise from the cold sea abyss on weekdays.

"But don't be complacent. Your progress is impressive among those around you, but only in this small place. Compared to the children of those big families and sects, whether it is in terms of qualifications or progress speed, you are still extremely far away from them. All you need to do is close the gap by putting in more effort than they do. Haiyuan said.

"Yes. Xue Yi bowed his head and said yes.

In fact, there is also a fire in Xue Yi's heart, called not admitting defeat. He also knew that the resources he had were incomparable to those possessed by those who were proud of the sky. But what are these? What they do once, he can do five times, he can do ten times, what they can master in a day, he is willing to master in ten days, he is willing to master in a month. The ancients said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, he is willing to put in ten times the effort, is he afraid that he will not be able to catch up with those so-called pride of heaven?

As if he could see through what Xue Yi was thinking, Hai Yuan nodded slightly: "As long as you can recognize your advantages and the efforts you have to put in, those proud sons of heaven are just village and field laymen." ”

After a pause, Hai Yuan spoke again: "When you were cultivating in the quicksand, you comprehended the first heaven of the Body Law Realm, the Water Pattern Realm. As I said before, for you at present, some of the wonderful uses of the body realm will benefit you immensely. Therefore, in the next cultivation of you, I will focus on strengthening the cultivation of you in this area. The Water Ripple Realm is the first level of the Body Law Realm, and the second level is called the Fallen Leaf Realm. For your age, reaching the Water Ripple Realm can only be regarded as outstanding, and if you can reach the Fallen Leaves Realm, then you are worthy of the teachings of me, the Master of the Supreme Realm. Therefore, my requirement for your next cultivation is to reach the Fallen Leaves Realm. ”

"This—" Xue Yi was dumbfounded when he heard this. He just wanted to say that the water pattern realm he had comprehended before was only unintentional, and even he didn't know how he comprehended it. And he didn't know anything about the fallen leaf realm that Hai Yuan wanted him to reach. What does this make him do?

"Scared?" Hai Yuan turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

"No. Xue Yi shook his head. "I'm just worried that I don't have enough understanding, I'm afraid I'm ......"

"Remember," Hai Yuan interrupted him, "a person, no matter what you want to do, as long as you are 100% confident that you can do it, you will definitely be able to succeed." ”

Xue Yi raised his head, facing the deep eyes of Shanghai Yuan, looking at those ancient eyes without waves, Xue Yi's heart suddenly gave birth to an incomparably strong confidence. Yes, what are you afraid of? I have a unique dual attribute of light and darkness, and I also have a master of the Supreme Realm, and I have comprehended the essence of the Water Pattern Realm alone before. What is this fallen leaf realm?

"Alright, let's go back today. Haiyuan looked at the sinking sunset and the darkening sky, and said.

"Hmm. Xue Yi nodded. It's a little late today, and I don't know if grandpa will worry about himself.

"Boom-" Time and space changed, Xue Yi slowly opened his eyes, and the green of the forest sea returned to his eyes.

"It's back. Looking at the familiar mountains and forests, familiar peaks, Xue Yi suddenly felt refreshed, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back first, and come back here tomorrow morning to find me. Hai Yuan walked to the edge of the cliff and sat down cross-legged, leaving Xue Yi with a back and a faint word.

Xue Yi pursed his lips, but he didn't stop at all, and quickly disappeared into the twilight mountain forest, rushing in the direction of home.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Before he reached the gate of the small courtyard, Xue Yi shouted towards the small courtyard.

"Grandpa, you...... What are you doing standing here? Xue Yi suddenly stopped. Because in front of him, Grandpa was staring at him with eyes against the door frame of the small courtyard.

Grandpa didn't answer, just grabbed his clothes and ripped off his coat.

"Grandpa, what are you doing. Xue Yi hurriedly flashed, but it was too late, and his coat fell, revealing Xue Yi's body full of scars.

Xue Yi was silent. This is also something that cannot be helped, although his extreme light attribute has excellent healing ability, but the arduous cultivation still leaves one scar after another on his skin. Although the scars healed quickly after a night's rest, they were exposed.

"Going to practice again?" Strangely, Grandpa didn't look too surprised, just put on his clothes again, and asked in a light tone.

"So you know it all. Xue Yi lowered his head and whispered. Although he was fearless when he was cultivating, he was still timid in front of his grandfather.

"Little bunny, I knew it from the first day you ran out. You told me before that you couldn't cultivate anymore, and I believe you didn't lie to me, because I saw your loneliness in my eyes. In that case, why should we suffer this sin again?" Later, grandpa's words clearly revealed a deep distress.

When Xue Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. Yes, what Grandpa really cares about is not what he can achieve in cultivation, but his body. Compared to himself, in the eyes of his grandfather, what is it to be able to cultivate?

"Grandpa. Xue Yi hugged his grandfather, and his voice couldn't help choking. For many days, the grievances and depression in my heart came to my heart.

A person, no matter how many setbacks he encounters on the outside, how hard he becomes inside, will become soft in front of his loved ones who have opened their hearts to themselves.

"Grandpa, can you listen to my explanation?" Xue Yi asked softly.

"Good boy, if you have any grievances, just say it. I know you've suffered a lot, so say it all, don't hold it in your heart. Grandpa stroked Xue Yi's back and sighed.
