Chapter 148: Time Ruthlessly Kills the Prodigy
Hearing Tu Fei's question, Ye Fan thought of Liu Shan and his style when he was on Blue Star, and nodded happily.
"Don't always think about leading others astray. Brother Liu might be having a romantic relationship with that chick right now, so how could he have the time to come back to the secular world to hone his character?"
The Liu Shan that Li Heishui guessed was fighting desperately.
When Liu Shan opened his eyes, his look was full of fatigue.
Although the training on the chessboard did not consume any divine power, it would still make the mind tired. Liu Shan felt exhausted from the constant fighting.
Since I started practicing, I have never been as tired as I am now. Now I just want to have a good rest.
"My friend, how was your harvest?"
"My combat power has greatly increased. I can use all kinds of secret techniques at will and can fight the enemy directly." Although the voice sounded very tired, the tone was full of excitement.
Seeing Liu Shan’s tired look, Xia Jiuyou couldn’t help but laugh. She was very happy to see Liu Shan in trouble.
Gai Jiuyou nodded gently to Liu Shan, then looked at Xia Jiuyou.
"Xiao Jiuyou, take your friend and have some rest."
Liu Shan stood up limply, bowed to Gai Jiuyou, and followed Xia Jiuyou into a thatched hut.
Not wanting to meditate anymore, Liu Shan simply lay down on the cushion and fell into a deep sleep instantly.
When Liu Shan opened his eyes again, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Liu Shan stretched comfortably and walked out of the hut.
"Come over when you have time."
Liu Shan, who had just walked out the door, heard Xia Jiuyou's voice transmission.
With some doubts in his mind, Liu Shan followed the voice and came to a quiet lake.
The water here is clear and full of spiritual energy, and there is even a faint light shining on the water surface.
There was green grass all around and a blue stone by the lake. At this moment, a beautiful girl was sitting there.
Liu Shan slowly approached and looked at the girl. She had a beautiful face and was wearing a snow-white dress. She was facing the lake in deep thought.
Her crystal clear jade feet were placed in the lake, paddling unconsciously, and ripples were spreading continuously.
Liu Shan admired the scene but did not go forward to disturb them.
"Why don't you come forward." A crisp voice came from the girl's pink lips.
After saying this, the girl gently turned her head.
Liu Shan looked at the somewhat familiar face and praised it in his heart.
As expected, he was not disappointed. Xia Jiuyou was already so beautiful in men's clothes, and she was even more attractive in women's clothes.
Looking at Liu Shan's intoxicated appearance, Xia Jiuyou's ears, hidden by her hair, had turned slightly red.
"I am wearing women's clothes as you wished." Xia Jiuyou opened his arms and showed his dress.
"It's beautiful. In fact, you can wear it often in the future." Liu Shan said sincerely.
"Hmph, no need for that. This time it's just because of the conditions you proposed before." Xia Jiuyou refused directly.
He walked gently to Xia Jiuyou and approached her, and Liu Shan also sat down on the bluestone.
Without saying anything, he just smelled the fragrance emanating from the girl's body beside him and looked at the lake in the distance. Liu Shan's mind began to empty.
Xia Jiuyou was a little nervous when she saw Liu Shan approaching her, but when she saw that he didn't say anything and just stared at the lake, she relaxed and started to play in the lake with her little feet again.
After playing for a long time, Xia Jiuyou looked at Liu Shan beside her again and found that Liu Shan was no longer looking into the distance, but was looking at her little feet playing in the water with lifeless eyes.
In an instant, Xia Jiuyou felt extremely shy and his face was flushed.
"Humph"
Xia Jiuyou snorted coldly and disappeared on the spot.
As Xia Jiuyou left, Liu Shan's mind gradually became clear. He smelled the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was misunderstood by her again. He was just in a daze just now.
Gai Jiuyou could naturally notice every move in the scene. He just stood there, watching the scene with a smile and feeling emotional in his heart.
After a few more days, Xia Jiuyou had already changed back into men's clothes. Liu Shan was very disappointed, as if the women's clothes he had seen before were just an illusion.
"whoosh"
At this moment, a man in white suddenly appeared beside Liu Shan. He was the God King Jiang Taixu who had returned from escaping the tribulation.
Looking at the God King in front of him, sensing his breath, he closed his eyes, but could not sense it accurately at all, as if there was no one there. When he opened his eyes again, the God King seemed like an ordinary cultivator. When he sensed the God King's body again, it became as deep as the sea.
"Congratulations, God King." Liu Shan's eyes were full of questions.
Jiang Taixu understood what he meant, smiled and nodded, confirming what Liu Shan was thinking.
Now that the God King has returned and has stayed here for a long time, Liu Shan and Jiang Taixu went to find Gai Jiuyou. Seeing the two people coming, Gai Jiuyou first looked at Jiang Taixu, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Master..." Xia Jiuyou looked at Gai Jiuyou. She was already impatient.
"Then let's set off." Gai Jiuyou understood that everyone couldn't wait, so he spoke first.
After hearing what her master said, Xia Jiuyou was excited. She had been waiting for too long.
Looking at the people around him, Gai Jiuyou waved his hand lightly, and everyone's eyes blurred and the surrounding environment changed.
In the blink of an eye, everyone had arrived at a snowy land with howling cold winds.
This is an endless ice field. Liu Shan looked at the old man in front of him with shock. Although he looked very old, his strength was still terrifying.
He can change the world with a wave of his hand, he is worthy of being called Gai Jiuyou!
"The Ice and Snow Palace is ahead. How should we proceed, young friend?" Gai Jiuyou asked softly.
"Let's avoid the people from the Ice and Snow Palace and go to their back mountain to find the place where the snow apes are practicing."
The group began to move forward in the snow, which was so heavy that it completely blocked their vision. Unfortunately, the four of them were all cultivators, and even the weakest Liu Shan and Xia Jiuyou would not be easily lost in the snow.
Traveling through the ice and snow, with the guidance of Gai Jiuyou, everyone arrived at the back mountain of the Ice and Snow Palace. Liu Shan began to use the earth observation technique recorded in the Yuantian Book to look for dragon energy.
After seeing through the illusion, he finally caught a trace of dragon energy under the cover of wind and snow.
Looking at the endless snow-capped mountains, Liu Shan realized that he had finally arrived at the right place.
Going deeper, the mountains look like a huge dragon bone, majestic and imposing.
Even though Gai Jiuyou and his companions did not know how to observe the land, they could feel that the terrain here was extraordinary.
"Is it the legendary true dragon's nirvana?" Gai Jiuyou asked softly after inspecting the mountains.
"Ten thousand dragons return home!"
Liu Shan shook his head gently and uttered four words.
Even the three people who didn't understand the terrain could feel the meaning of the four words Liu Shan said.
"The true dragon's nirvana is the underground dragon veins' nirvana. As long as you find the dragon veins, you can comprehend the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and understand the mysteries of life and death." Liu Shan explained while looking for dragon energy.
"But Ten Thousand Dragons Return to their Nest is the place where countless dragon veins converge. And countless years ago, real dragons were bred here. It is a real dragon's nest."
After hearing Liu Shan's words, everyone was shocked. There actually was a real dragon in the Dragon's Nest, and it was the legendary immortal species!
Liu Shan did not explain much. After all, the Ten Evils really existed in ancient times.
Following the dragon vein, everyone found a snowy valley. Smelling the fragrance, Liu Shan was delighted and began to look into the valley.
At this time, there were many humanoid creatures covered with long hair in the valley.
"The demon beast, the snow ape." Everyone recognized the creature in the snow valley.
At this time, dragon energy was swirling in the valley, and there were several spiritual herbs in the middle, emitting auspicious signs in the snow.
Liu Shan looked at the six dragon-shaped spiritual herbs in the valley - the Source Dragon Fruit with some envy. This was a top-level spiritual fruit second only to the elixir of immortality.
"That is?"
Xia Jiuyou also discovered the spiritual herbs in the snow valley. Naturally, she also found that they were extraordinary. Each of them looked like a real dragon, emitting golden light all over.
"Yuanlong Fruit is a rare herb nourished by spiritual energy." Liu Shan explained softly, then turned to look at Gai Jiuyou.
"Senior, can we pick six source dragon fruits without alerting the snow ape?" Liu Shan asked Gai Jiuyou shyly.
Gai Jiuyou glanced at Liu Shan with a smile in his eyes, then waved his hand in the air.
Suddenly, the six dragon-shaped strange herbs that were originally in the middle of the snow valley appeared beside Liu Shan.
Liu Shan quickly took it with a smile on his face, and then looked towards the snow valley. There were actually six Yuanlong fruits swaying in the wind in the snow valley.
Admiring Gai Jiuyou's methods in his heart, Liu Shan divided the Source Dragon Fruit equally with Xia Jiuyou and Jiang Taixu. Then he pursued the dragon energy again and found a snow cave.
Entering deep into the mountain, everyone saw an ancient well emitting dragon energy.
At the mouth of the well, there is a piece of transparent black ice, inside which is sealed an old ape, who is still meditating and practicing vividly.
Although his expression was still peaceful, there was no sign of life at all.
"I didn't expect that the old ape who founded the Ice and Snow Palace would pass away here silently." Jiang Taixu sighed.
"Time is ruthless and kills the geniuses, and the road to immortality is full of enchantment." Liu Shan blurted out.
After hearing Liu Shan's words, several people looked at him in surprise.
Gai Jiuyou's expression was moved as he murmured these words. He really felt the same way about these words. If he had not been born at the wrong time, he would not have ended up like this.
"Senior, can you break the ban silently?"
This is the habitat of snow apes in the snow valley. There are stone beds and stone basins everywhere for their daily use. Liu Shan doesn't want to make too much noise, otherwise it will attract people from the Ice and Snow Palace, which will be too troublesome.
