Chapter Seventy-Three: Frozen
Xiang Yu followed the heavenly ghost and shuttled through the pine forest, the two felt that the chill seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, the heavenly ghost was okay, after all, where is the cultivation, this mid-range dΓΉ is still bearable. And Xiang Yu couldn't, he felt that the cold seemed to have penetrated into his bones, and it had no effect on covering his body with aura.
"Boy, now you know that the artifact is not so easy to take, with your little strength, if you are alone, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see the hair of the artifact. The Heavenly Ghost looked at Xiang Yu's somewhat purple lips and trembling body and sneered.
Xiang Yu didn't care about the heavenly ghost with some sarcastic words, he knew that the heavenly ghost was unforgiving, but in fact, he was still with his own heart. He rolled his eyes and said weakly: "It's all here, what nonsense, hurry up and find the artifact, we can come." β
"I don't know if you've thought about it, you said that the artifact is in the cold spring, but you can't stand the cold air from the cold spring, so how can you go down to the cold spring to find the artifact?"
"Then it's up to you. β
"What do you think the artifact is? I'll go down and bring it up to you, and then you take it?" the heavenly ghost sneered, and then said: "Let's not talk about whether I have that strength anymore, even if I want to get the artifact, I have to accept it first, so do you say you accept it or I accept it?"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu frowned, he was too excited before, and he actually ignored such an important issue, but now thinking of this made him a little embarrassed, and the original blood boiling gradually calmed down.
"According to you, I'm going to take this artifact, and I'm going to die for a lifetime?"
The Heavenly Ghost nodded and said, "Yes, I don't dare to accept the artifact lightly with such a cultivator, let alone you!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu was silent for a while, although this journey cannot be regarded as a lot of hardships, it is also a waste of thoughts, and seeing that the goal is in front of him, there is a reason for people to want to retreat.
Nine deaths and one life, I'm afraid it's all said that it's a blessing, a cultivator of the Fusion Realm to subdue the artifact, in the land of Kyushu, I am afraid it is a fantasy. Kyushu is a big land with a lot of people. With this huge base, there are many cultivators, no matter how difficult the path of cultivation is, no matter how high the requirements for qualifications are. There are also peak cultivators, if not thousand, then hundreds. The reason why only nine of these cultivators at the peak of the Heaven Transformation Realm possessed divine objects was because there were too few divine objects, and secondly, because the divine objects were too difficult to subdue.
Relatively speaking, it was an ant-like being, an ant who wanted to move something that the giant had no confidence in. Wouldn't it be a little ridiculous!
I'm Xiang Yu, I have a goal, I have a person who must be killed, and I need to bring my strength to the peak in the shortest possible time. My talent can only be regarded as upper-middle, and my cultivation will not be a day. I don't have a strong master to teach, the people I want to kill become stronger day by day.
Is there any hope that I can kill him? Since there is no hope, do I have to persevere?
Is it okay to be an ordinary cultivator or an ordinary person?
Is it okay to give up that hatred?
Is it okay to spend this life in a dull way?
............
One thought after another flashed through Xiang Yu's mind, he didn't expect that he would think about these questions at such a time, obviously the artifact was not far away. Why is that?
Are you scared?
Still don't believe in yourself anymore?
What's going on?
Xiang Yu's eyes showed a trace of confusion, a trace of overwhelm, and a deeper place of hesitation and fear!
"Take one more step and I'll die of cold!"
"I can't get the artifact at all, so I'd better give it up!"
"That's right, give up, what hatred and revenge, those are meaningless!"
"Go back and live your life in peace!"
Xiang Yu muttered, and his body stepped back. Then he turned around, ignoring the heavenly ghost on the side, and walked straight in the direction he was coming from, but he gave up. I'm leaving!
The heavenly ghost looked at Xiang Yu's back, but he didn't say a word, just watched quietly.
Just as Xiang Yu's feet were about to step out of the range of this white pine forest, a sudden stabbing pain in his wrist made him stop, and the confusion in his eyes gradually faded. He turned to look at the white pine forest again and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost made a mistake at this step!"
There was clarity in his eyes. With perseverance on his face, Xiang Yu walked to the heavenly ghost step by step.
"Boy, it's just a little bit!" The heavenly ghost was also relieved when he saw Xiang Yu coming back, with a hint of a smile on his face.
"So you know, why don't you make a move?"
The Heavenly Ghost shook his head and said, "When I wake up, I can't move at all, and I can't even change a trace of expression." If you hadn't turned back in time, I'm afraid this artifact wouldn't have anything to do with you. β
After listening to what the heavenly ghost said, Xiang Yu also understood, and said with a wry smile: "This artifact is really not covered, it's not going to be good, it will affect your will and mine, let us fall into the illusion, I don't know what will happen later!"
The heavenly ghost also nodded, he had experienced what had just happened and also appreciated the ability of the artifact, just a single artifact, no one controlled it, and he let himself fall into the illusion unconsciously, if it wasn't for his own determination, I am afraid that he would be lost in that illusion.
"Let's go, no matter what happens today, we will not give up if we don't see that artifact!" the heavenly ghost left these words and began to march towards the legendary cold spring with his senses.
............
A day passed, and none of the trialists came out, Mu Feng and Xue Qing returned to the high platform after learning about Xiang Yu's situation, when he learned that Xiang Yu had entered the ancient land, he was a little impatient to enter the ancient land, although he knew that Xiang Yu was in no danger, but he was still very worried, this time he wanted to find a reason that Liu Feng and the others could not refuse.
After floating on the high platform, Mu Feng stood beside Liu Feng, arched his hand with a smile and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I just dealt with some private matters, and I hope you don't care." β
"Whereever, Brother Mu, you can do anything here!" Liu Feng said respectfully with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes......" A few people next to him also echoed, making Xueqing, who came back with Mu Feng, feel a chill.
Although Mu Feng was not accustomed to the attitude of these people, he still smiled and asked, "I wonder if you have discussed the result of the question I just asked?"
"This ...... , Brother Mu, you also know the difficulties of our waiting, and now I am afraid that it will definitely not work to let you enter the ancient land. We discussed it just now, and finally decided that if you are Brother Mu, you must enter the ancient land in person, then after this trial is over. That is, ten days and half a month's work, and then I will secretly open the ban, how about you go in then?"
Liu Feng did not say these words later, but transmitted them to the past. After all, this kind of thing violates the ancestral teachings, but Mu Feng can't be provoked, so a few people thought of such a compromise method, which would neither offend Xiang Yu nor alarm some people with a heart.
Although Mu Feng was not very satisfied with Liu Feng's response. But Liu Feng agreed to open the ban for himself, although it was really ten days later, but it didn't affect anything, just when he was about to nod his head and agree, suddenly his eyes swept to the top of the ancient land, and the fleeting vision on it was captured by him.
It was this momentary vision that shocked him, and he was sure that he was not mistaken, and this change made him a little anxious. He shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said to Liu Feng in front of him: "Brother Liu, I also know your difficulties, but I also have difficulties. A few days later, my grandfather's 300th birthday, I can't wait for more than ten days. β
Mu Feng also said casually in desperation, he knew that it was impossible for this Liu Feng to question himself, and now it was up to Liu Feng to refuse himself without opening his mouth.
Sure enough, after listening to Mu Feng's words, Liu Feng's face became ugly, but after all, he still squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother Mu, wait a while, I will discuss it with a few of them, after all, I can't be the master of this matter." β
Mu Feng nodded, and stopped talking, just waiting for Liu Feng to give him an answer.
............
Xiang Yu and the heavenly ghosts walked one after the other. Looking for the legendary cold spring, the Heavenly Ghost cultivation is very strong, and it is basically fine, but Xiang Yu feels that the coldness has penetrated into his bone marrow the more he walks. The blood didn't seem to be flowing anymore, and maybe the next moment he would be so hard that he couldn't move, and he would break into several pieces at the slightest knock.
He ran the exercises, so that the aura circulated extremely quickly in the meridians of the whole body, and this way of operation was a bit painful, and the meridians were impacted by the aura. Bursts of burning pain came out, and the chill eased slightly.
If you want to get it, you have to give, you have to endure, you have to pay a hundred times more than others, and you have to be able to bear the pain.
has reached this point, it is impossible for Xiang Yu to give up, even if the next step will be shattered, he has to step out.
The surrounding pine trees were more crystalline than the ones in front of them, and seemed to be composed entirely of ice and snow, and the fog that filled the air seemed to turn into substance, but it was still fog instead of ice.
There were no more flowers and plants on the ground, and it was also crystal clear, like the ice on the surface of the lake, but it was clearer than the ordinary ice.
Not only Xiang Yu, but even the heavenly ghosts also secretly sighed that they were miraculous, as cultivators, they had seen too many strange things that ordinary people could not understand and could not see, but this ancient land of divine water, the cold spring that extinguished the earth fire in the ancient legends, even cultivators who had reached the peak of cultivation may not have seen it.
Walking more than ten miles on the ice, the heavenly ghost suddenly stopped, frowned and looked around.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu trembled and asked, "What's wrong?"
The heavenly ghost looked at the young man behind him with dark lips and a pale and trembling face, and also had a trace of admiration, the chill here can only be resisted when he reaches his own realm, and he can only barely hold on to it if he is a cultivator who is one level lower than himself, if it is an ordinary cultivator in the fusion realm, he may have already frozen and lost consciousness, he doesn't know how Xiang Yu has allowed himself to persist until now, but this is not important.
"According to my senses, this is already the most cold place, but I didn't find a cold spring. β
Just as the heavenly ghost thought, Xiang Yu really felt that he couldn't stay up anymore, not only in the physical aspect, but also in that consciousness seemed to be a little blurred. But when he heard the heavenly ghost say this, he instantly sobered up again, because he had already found a place.
"Where we're standing is where the cold is heaviest?"
"Yes, the cold spring should be here, why is it missing!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu also looked around, but there was still a dense fog all around him, and his vision was only one zhang, and the range of sensing power was also very small. He frowned and crouched down, reaching out to touch the ground, which could also be said to be ice.
The moment his fingers touched the ground, a chill pierced his fingers like needles, and before he could react, the cold began to swim in his meridians, just a breath of time, and half of the meridians in his body were frozen.
This pain is a little more intense than stimulating the meridians with his aura, Xiang Yu Yaguan clenched his head and glanced at his body, half of his body was covered by ice in an instant, and the ice was still spreading, and it would soon cover his whole body, and he would soon turn into an ice sculpture.
By the time the heavenly ghost reacted, Xiang Yu had already been half sealed, not to blame him for his slow reaction, but this accident came too suddenly, and he didn't have time to react at all.
A flame erupted between his hands to melt the ice on Xiang Yu's body, but it was useless.
The next moment, the meridians of Xiang Yu's whole body were frozen, and a layer of ice formed outside his body, which really turned into an ice sculpture. (To be continued.) )
