Chapter 42: Dreams and Fruits
The strange peaks are majestic, and the stars are high, and the sky is towering. Standing alone among the heavy cliffs and looking out with your eyes, the bright moon hanging alone above the sky and the sea is difficult to retain its beauty in the eternal time. Maybe I don't understand why those flowing clouds above the sky are gathering and scattering, and I want to take my thoughts back. But it is just like a small boat drifting on the river and sea, and the place where it stops adds to the sorrow.
Lonely peaks, towering clouds. The surrounding clouds are like an abyss like the sea, and the bees gather between the cliffs, like the torrent of the sea of stars falling into the mortal world. From the height and depth of the heavy mountain, I looked away from afar, but I saw Chu Tianyue, flowing out of the glorious ten thousand roads, reflecting the night for a long time. The long fog in the distance, those ethereal mountains, in the clouds and mist, empty and majestic, for this ten thousand years of empty demon ruins, added a touch of tranquility and depth.
On the cliff of that heavy cliff grew a tree horizontally, its existence was extraordinary, and for hundreds of years, only one fairy fruit had grown on it. This fairy tree was named Zhongzhou in ancient times, and it was called 'Dream Xiannan Tree'. It's a rare alien species. And the fruit that gathers its century-old essence and produces it is called 'Dream Fruit'. These strange existences, such as these strange immortal trees and fairy fruits in front of him, Lu Yang is only in Zhongzhou, so he has heard of them in the legends that have been circulated for a long time, and no one has this opportunity to see them.
Huaimeng fruit has a miraculous effect, enough to make people wash the marrow and cut the bones, but also can prolong life, in the ancient legend of Zhongzhou, there is Peng Zu, once lived 500 years old and did not die, in the spring and summer when the long time, ride the wind, travel in all directions; in the autumn and winter Tibet, live in the cave, meet guests and gather friends. Peng Zu is this person, and now I don't know if it really exists. But these were all obtained after he took a Dream Fruit. It can be seen that it is rare and extraordinary. It can even make people improve their longevity and avoid the time.
After some thought, Lu Yang decided to take the risk, from the cliff where he was accommodating, to the 'Dream Immortal Nan Tree' that grew diagonally on the cliff below, and pick the Huaimeng Fruit, if he could get the Huaimeng Fruit, then he could greatly increase his life expectancy, and be reborn, and even be able to directly enter the Qi Refining Realm, and it would not be difficult to open the door to cultivation.
In today's world, cultivators in Zhongzhou are not very common, just because ordinary people's dantian qi sea is closed, if they open up a channel to connect the qi of heaven and earth, but it is not easy, if ordinary people want to cultivate the true law, then they must first meditate to sense the vitality between heaven and earth, and guide it into the body, only if they successfully attract the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, can they be regarded as cultivators, and this first step is also called the realm of refining qi.
The cultivator will receive the vitality of the body, and through the continuous tempering of the true law, he will slowly progress. This process is long and arduous, and it has great requirements for the cultivator's own roots, whether it is innate qualifications or acquired diligence, they are indispensable. Therefore, cultivators in Zhongzhou are also extremely rare.
And many talented people have practiced hard all their lives, until their longevity is exhausted, and it is difficult to break through the threshold of the Xuantian Realm.
Lu Yang cautiously climbed down the cliff, and put his body as close as possible to the 'Phantom Dream Immortal Nan Tree', and when its huge crown had already appeared at Lu Yang's feet, he didn't hesitate, jumped with his body, stretched out his arms between the extremely high cliffs, and rushed straight towards its trunk!
His heart couldn't stop beating, and when Lu Yang no longer stepped on the mountain rock on which he could stand, the fear of the high altitude made his hands and feet numb, and his brain became extremely sensitive under extreme tension. When he was about to touch the trunk of the tree, he instantly found his balance, hugged the trunk with his arms and legs, and did not care about the pain of falling on the trunk, and fell with his own weight, causing this ancient tree to grow in the cracks of the mountain rocks, and it was also shaking, fortunately. It has solid roots, thick roots and thick leaves. I was not bent by the force of this leap.
Lu Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, struggled to stabilize his body, and stood up on the trunk. Fortunately, this tree is also hundreds of years old, and its branches are relatively thick and strong, so it is not very difficult to bear Lu Yang alone. At that moment, Lu Yang struggled to maintain his balance, and walked slowly and carefully, approaching the branch where the dream fruit grew.
The dream fruit is also quite exquisite, because it contains feminine nature, and it has always been bred in this misty mountain wall, so the scorching sun can not be seen, Lu Yang approached it, looked carefully, and saw that it was surrounded by a cloud of colorful light and exquisite qi, in which the color changed, and the strange light swallowed. It is impossible to see its true appearance, only vaguely seen, it is a pearl-like fruit that is also colored by Caixia, Lu Yang looked at this fairy fruit, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, this kind of treasure is really exhaustive, and it is difficult to see it in a lifetime.
Lu Yang carefully picked it, just holding it in his hand, it felt warm and soft, as if he was in a very refreshing dream. Lu Yang tore off a piece of clothing, wrapped it in cloth, and carefully hid it on his chest, because Huaimengguo could not see the light, Lu Yang was ready to find a secluded place after leaving the demon ruins, and took it, so as not to lose the value of this immortal fruit.
After picking the immortal fruit, Lu Yang was full of pride, and secretly thanked God for giving the immortal grass to continue his life, and he used the previous way again, three steps forward, two steps back, and climbed to the bottom of the cliff with extreme caution. Although this way of walking is a little slower, it is relatively safe, Lu Yang was careless a few times on the road, because the rock formation under his feet was loose, and he almost did not stumble and fell into the abyss below, which also raised his heart to his throat.
Although there was great fear, Lu Yang was never willing to give up looking for the 'Yuepan Jade Immortal Zhi', he would not regret it in his life, since he had decided on one thing, then he would do his best to do it. Lu Yang is twenty-two years old, but the indelible tenacity in his heart is the root of his ability to grow from weak to strong.
His palms were cut by the jagged rock wall and drenched in blood, and he kept clutching the rock wall, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Not only was he burdened with this pain, but his body was always at the limit of detachment, and he did not stop, he kept gritting his teeth and enduring strongly, constantly exploring into the deep mist below.
Finally, the heavens paid off, Lu Yang finally saw that not far from him, there was a naturally opened high platform, among which, there was a tall Ganoderma lucidum like an umbrella cover, glowing with silver-white moonlight, and its round upper cover was like a full moon falling thousands of clear lights, as if the bright moon in the sky fell into the sky, reflecting everything below.
Lu Yang opened his mouth in astonishment, after his observation, but saw that this Ganoderma lucidum was nearly half a person high, and the fairy clouds on it were ethereal, just a little close to it, he only felt the fragrance in his nose, full of comfort, as if he had come to the heavens on earth, in the pavilion of the Orchid Garden, watching the fairy dancing gracefully, coming to his side, drinking fairy wine and Qiongjiu, it was really beautiful.
"This must be the 'Moon Pan Jade Immortal Zhi'!" Lu Yang was so surprised that he almost forgot where he was in the situation. But he was born and died in the demon ruins several times before, and he also developed the habit of being cautious everywhere, he suppressed the joy in his heart, but he carefully observed it around him, and after probing for a long time, he didn't find anything abnormal.
Lu Yang originally planned to relax and comfort himself, there was nothing to do, but when he was about to go to the high platform where the 'Yuepan Jade Immortal Zhi' was accommodating, he inadvertently raised his eyes, and the next moment, his face immediately turned pale.
His casual glance made him discover that above the high platform, under the cover of the moonlight, there was a giant python covered in the clear shadow of the moonlight, with a snow-white body without any variegated color, lying not far from the 'Yuepan Jade Immortal Zhi', where there was a snake cave that was enough for it to contain, because this huge and incomparably strange snake was as smooth as the moonlight, and even its scales were refracted by the moonlight. It is almost integrated with the surrounding environment, if it weren't for Lu Yang inadvertently discovering its existence, then he would definitely be torn to pieces by this strange python if he went to pick it rashly.
"Dieyun Mountain is restricted by the space of the demon ruins, almost no life can exist above this peak, this strange snake actually appeared here, isn't it the 'Silver Moon Teng Snake' that exists in myths and legends?" Lu Yang was shocked in his heart, and he leaned sideways between the cliffs above, and he didn't dare to take a breath. This 'Silver Moon Snake' is a mutated species, and its race comes from the ancient times in Zhongzhou, the soaring snake that drove the clouds. They can hide in the clouds and mist, specialize in sucking human brains, and are extremely elusive and extremely difficult to deal with.
And the Teng Snake that Lu Yang saw was also extraordinary, it was a variant of the Teng Snake, just like the nine-tailed fox could override other fox clans, and the same was true for this 'Silver Moon Teng Snake', it could cultivate with the help of moonlight yin qi, in ancient Shenzhou, the closer to the moon, the more likely it was to encounter this creature.
Unfortunately, this 'Silver Moon Teng Snake' has been cultivated for hundreds of years before coming here, and its body is several feet long, and its whole body is white, especially like the silver moon. It is as thick as a bucket, and his strange strength is enough to swallow a wax elephant alive and strangle a bull. It didn't know when it had climbed up from under the mountain peak, and it had been hiding its aura by means of the clouds and mist, and it was cultivating alone in this cliff, so that it was not discovered by the fox ancestor and others.
Because there is the growth and retention of the 'Moon Pan Jade Immortal Mushroom' here, with its immortal strangeness like the moon, this giant snake actually mistakenly thinks that it is close to the sea of stars, on the shore of the bright moon, so it stays here, cultivating with this immortal grass, if Lu Yang approaches this immortal grass, I am afraid, it will be immediately discovered.
This is far from being something that Lu Yang can resist, and it can use the misty mist between the cliffs to fight in a flying attitude.
He stood on top of the cliff protrusion, not daring to move. It only frightened the huge serpent. Lu Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had spent a lot of effort in his empty confession, and he had also passed through the cliff and came here, and finally saw the dawn, but he encountered the 'Silver Moon Snake' guarding here, and he couldn't get close. Now it is just destined that the bamboo basket will be empty, and it seems that if he wants to complete the test of the first level of the Tongtian Stone Demon, I am afraid that he can only return in vain.
