The sun sets and the moon rises, and the stars shift.

Without the distractions of the world, life in the mountains is once again calm.

Since knowing that there may be a mountain god on this mountain, many villagers are in awe, and every time they enter the mountain, they are much more pious, of course, there are also some villagers who do not take it seriously and think that it is all fictional, but they do not dare to express disrespect on the surface.

Spring goes to the summer solstice, time is long.

The plants on the mountain are dyed yellow from green, and the heat of midsummer has quietly passed, inadvertently bringing a touch of coldness, and even the hysterical cicada chirping is gradually becoming weaker.

Occasionally, one or two sounds burst out, as if trying to save the remnants of summer, until in the end, there was no longer any sound, and the cicadas of the whole summer finally came to an end at this moment.

The summer cicadas are exhausted, and the new autumn geese are brought.

The snake is an ectothermic animal, which is commonly known as a cold-blooded animal, Ye Qin's perception of seasonal changes is not obvious, plus he is obsessed with cultivation.

Until a withered yellow leaf fell on his body, he looked up as if he had a feeling, "It turns out that it is already autumn." ”

In autumn, the forest is dyed, and the fiery red maple leaves become a dazzling sight, and countless small animals shuttle through the forest, ready to store food for the winter.

Compared to their busyness, Ye Qin was much more leisurely and natural, still resting during the day and cultivating at night.

It's just that the small animals around me have changed one stubble after another.

Some of them have already ushered in natural deaths, and the lifespan of animals is already short, which makes Ye Qin even more crisis-oriented, and now that he calculates carefully, he doesn't have much time.

There are also some reduced to the plate of other beasts, nature is so cruel, natural selection, survival of the fittest, either you eat me, or I eat you, there is no right or wrong.

Soon, these were all left behind by Ye Qin, because the top priority was to consolidate his own cultivation.

As the weather cooled, it got dark earlier and earlier, and the days were short and the nights were long, allowing Ye Qin to have more time to cultivate.

Even so, he still felt that time was not enough, the life of the snake was too short, if he couldn't find a way to prolong his life, then Ye Qin could only stop there.

But Ye Qin was unwilling, God finally let him get a second life, and he stepped into cultivation by mistake, becoming the only cultivator in this world.

The north wind howled, bringing with it the bitterness of winter, and the branches of the trees, which had been dense, were now bare.

The cold snowflakes fell silently, and by the time Ye Qin walked out of the cave, the ground was already a little white.

It's another year, and this is the second winter that Ye Qin has traversed.

He came to the highest point of the whole mountain and watched the snow sprinkled like a white paintbrush, outlining the mountains and rivers not far away.

The ink faded into the white, leaving only a vague outline.

The moonlight shone on Ye Qin's body, as if shining with sparkling light, and the white snow refracted different colors, as if he could see the guiying shadow on the moon palace.

The small animals behind Ye Qin gradually became very few.

Because it is winter, some small animals cannot resist their nature and have entered hibernation, and occasionally a few can hold on and have never changed.

Ye Qin didn't pay too much attention to this, everything has a certainty.

However, I am a little curious about whether those animals that can persist will change a little in the future.

The snowflakes fell, and soon Ye Qin had a faint layer of white on his body.

I don't know if it's the light reflected from the snow, or if it's emitted by himself, it looks full of mystery.

The long cold winter has finally passed, and as the snow melts, the first spring flowers quietly bloom, which means that spring is coming.

In the midst of spring, after a year of polishing, Ye Qin's second realm was also completely consolidated.

Now he has a length of more than three meters, breaking through the size limit of the original small snakes, and his weight is about 20 pounds.

Just by his appearance, he can't tell what kind of snake he is, and it can be said that it is a genetic mutation.

Except for the color of the scales, I can't find anything similar to the previous one all over my body.

It may be because it was too hard to be struck by lightning at the beginning, and there are still some charred black scales that have not all faded.

But the scales didn't look ugly now, like obsidian, shimmering inexplicably.

The newly grown scales in the back are like fine jadeite, like the best masterpiece of God, and they believe in it as a handicraft.

The ink color and the jade color are intertwined, forming a unique color, and throughout the world, there is no second snake that is the same as Ye Qin's touch.

There is no other existence in the world.

The consolidation of the realm did not make Ye Qin feel happy, but made him a little bored.

The moon hung on the branches, and Ye Qin, who had always been an ascetic, did not cultivate for the first time this day, but stared at the bright moon above his head and fell into contemplation.

"Visualize freely, create and quench the body, logically speaking, I should be able to enter the third realm of 'Heaven and Earth Qi Refining' now, why has there been no movement."

Ye Qin felt as if he had entered a bottleneck period, obviously he had come to the door of the third realm, but he couldn't push open the door.

"What went wrong?"

Because of his irritability, Ye Qin's snake tail kept slapping the ground, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have any thoughts.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the situation won't be good for me."

Although his scales were smooth and shiny now, Ye Qin could feel that the vitality in his body was passing rapidly.

For example, if he looks like a teenager on the outside, he is actually an old man in his seventies and eighties on the inside.

Even with the nourishment of the moon, coupled with the aura of cultivation, it cannot stop the aging of the five internal organs.

The five organs of the snake include the gall bladder, the heart, the lungs, the liver, and the intestines.

Ye Qin could feel that the functions of the various organs in his body were not as good as before.

The rise and fall of all things is providential.

Aging life and death are also the rules between heaven and earth, and the laws of operation, which cannot be interfered with by constant forces.

Otherwise, everything in this world will be chaotic, and the Heavenly Dao will never allow such a thing to happen.

In fact, Ye Qin was not sure whether his lifespan would be extended when he reached the third realm, all of this was his guess.

After all, stepping onto the path of cultivation, everything needed him to explore and explore.

In the first two realms, he has gone through physical and spiritual cultivation, constantly cultivating and refining, and it can be said that he has reached the top.

The third realm is "Heaven and Earth Qi Refining", with the first two as the foundation, then the back should be a qualitative leap, Ye Qin deduced from this that the life span may be extended.

Since he was able to break through the limitations of the original small snakes, it stands to reason that it should be possible to break through the lifespan.

If he can't prolong his lifespan, then Ye Qin has only one way to die, and sooner or later he will die of aging, on the contrary, if he breaks through, he may be able to usher in a glimmer of life.

This is also the reason why he is in a hurry and wants to step into the third realm.

However, God seemed to like to joke with him, the more he got to this time, the more he had to hang him, and no matter how Ye Qin contemplated Mochizuki in the future, there would be no progress.

And his life span is gradually coming to an end, and the end is approaching.
