Chapter 1011: Chapter 55: Where Is There an Immortal Path in This World? (17)

That appearance was like, a desiccated corpse frozen in the snowy mountains for a thousand years… this withered face.

‘Long Xiruo’ frowned slightly, looking at the appearance of ‘Tianxin Seventy-First Generation’, “The heavy aura of death on you is truly unprecedented… what exactly did you do to make yourself remain?”

“Thank you for Lord Long’s concern.” ‘Tianxin Seventy-First Generation’ sneered at this moment, still looking calm… Only his hands were hanging down, with blood continuously flowing, truly unable to be associated with confidence.

“Who cares about your life or death.” ‘Long Xiruo’ also sneered: “The Clothed Daoist depleting Heaven’s mystery was already a great taboo. Since Heaven is unwilling to keep you, there’s nothing more to say.”

“I wonder how Lord Long views the current world?” Tianxin Seventy-First Generation was not angry, instead seriously asked.

“The present world?” ‘Long Xiruo’ frowned.

Tianxin Seventy-First Generation said: “That’s right, the present world… Where is the path for cultivators of the time? And where is the path for demons of the time? You stand at the highest point between the two realms, can you answer this question for me?”

‘Long Xiruo’ couldn’t help but fall silent, after a while she said: “Do you have any dissatisfaction?”

Tianxin Seventy-First Generation said: “Reflecting on a thousand years ago, Taoism flourished, demons prospered… Though this world was still man’s world, there was ample living space for both Dao and demons, even Dao monsters transcended, disregarding the empire’s prosperity. The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth was abundant, Blessed Lands and Utopias were numerous across the vast China. People worshiped ghosts and gods, revered supernatural powers. Even the earthly emperor would show respect… But now, how are we, Lord Long, are you not the most clear on this?”

‘Long Xiruo’ sighed, sneering: “So you’re a foolish person longing for the past, unwilling to wake up! Humph, even if Dao monsters were brilliant before, what does it matter, that’s already past. Moreover, now humanitarianism is flourishing… in this world, humanity is the ruler. And originally, you didn’t even experience the brilliance of Dao monsters! Does this mere imagination excite you so much, idiot! Do you know how much living things were devastated during the brilliance of the Taoist field and demon world?”

“While the number of changes is fifty, its use is forty-nine, yet there is still one that escapes.” Tianxin Seventy-First Generation’s expression was somewhat agitated, “There’s always a sliver of hope! Extremely prosperous will decline, extremely adverse will turn into prosperous, after the End of Dharma should be a new era! Such a principle, could it be even you don’t understand? As long as we revitalise the spiritual energy of all ley lines in China, let the spiritual energy of all beings revive, let the world once again be suitable for Dao monsters to live… we, too, can push back humanitarianism!”

“Even so, what of it?” ‘Long Xiruo’ shook her head, “Under today’s human weapons, even if given a suitable environment for cultivation, survival again… how many of you can resist those world-ending weapons of humanity? Today’s humans are unlike the ignorant ones of the past, their exploration in knowledge has even reached beyond this planet… and you, how many of you can break through this sky, reach into the galaxy?”

“As long as the spiritual energy revives, we have the possibility of becoming immortals! As long as we open the immortal path to reach the heavens, we can roam the firmament, encompass the stars, sun, and moon! Mankind is nothing worth mentioning!”

“Humans, this and that, it’s so annoying!” ‘Long Xiruo’ coldly said at this moment: “Talking as if you didn’t come from humans yourself! I think you’ve eaten too many turnips, always talking about becoming immortal, why don’t you starve yourself first and ascend to heaven?! If I don’t slap you twice, you won’t wake up!”

With that, ‘Long Xiruo’ flashed in front of Tianxin Seventy-First Generation, raising her hand instantly.

Though with only a fraction of her strength, it probably wasn’t something Tianxin Seventy-First Generation could withstand, right? That formidable true dragon spiritual power erupted, causing Tianxin Seventy-First Generation to feel a sense of mountain-like reverence.

“This is the strongest of Godly Land…” Tianxin Seventy-First Generation’s body trembled slightly, yet that immense spiritual pressure made it difficult for his body to move.

In an instant, Tianxin Seventy-First Generation bit his tongue hard, the excruciating pain stimulated his sluggish nerves… Though his hands were already weakly hanging down, he still had some means to fight!

However, at the same instant, Tianxin Seventy-First Generation suddenly couldn’t see ‘Long Xiruo’ in front of him… because at this moment, he found himself in a rather unfamiliar place.

There were no riversides around, only some scattered woods and rocks!

Startled, Tianxin Seventy-First Generation spoke to himself, head lowered: “Longing…”

…

The palm brushed past, but ‘Long Xiruo’ didn’t feel any impact… clearly, she had struck empty.

Tianxin Seventy-First Generation couldn’t have disappeared right from in front of her… He shouldn’t even possess such ability.

“Longing!”

At this moment, ‘Long Xiruo’ directly looked towards Longing.

Yet this young ley line was merely looking at ‘Long Xiruo’, shaking its head, retreating slowly, as if somewhat terrified and apprehensive.

“Longing, it’s me!” ‘Long Xiruo’ stepped forward.

“Don’t come over!” Longing hurled these words, then instantly turned, disappearing before ‘Long Xiruo’.

“Longing…”

This child’s ability is space-folding… with its ability to create a body, it’s truly unreachable, a feeling of annoyance erupted within, and ‘Long Xiruo’ suddenly waved her hand.

Suddenly the river in front exploded within hundreds of meters, countless splashes were pushed into the sky, then fell down, as if a torrential rainstorm had occurred.

She raised her head, letting the falling splashes drench her body.

…

She raised her head, looking at the top of the waterfall. But Luo Qiu knew that with Long Xiruo, they were sharing the visuals of her created body… even the sensations.

The ‘rain’ beneath this pool falls a bit later than the top of the waterfall.

A palm reached out by Luo Pianqian at the moment, water droplets fell into her palm, quickly dispersing. Then the ‘rain’ began to intensify a bit, she then looked uneasily towards Luo Qiu.

Luo Qiu merely said: “Let your Sister Long have some peace.”

What happened at the top of the waterfall didn’t escape Luo Qiu’s sight. Whether it was the conversation between Long Xiruo and Tianxin Seventy-First Generation, or Longing eventually taking away Tianxin Seventy-First Generation, Luo Qiu knew it all clearly.

Only he wasn’t intending to intervene for the time being… Additionally, the few words revealed by Tianxin Seventy-First Generation, made Luo Qiu quite interested.

Reviving spiritual energy and creating a world fit for the Transcendent is equivalent to challenging the current world will of established humanitarianism.

Truly a brave, reckless, and extremely stubborn heart…

“The fog… seems to have cleared.” Luo Pianqian looked around at this moment.

The thick mist at the moment gradually became sparse… It seemed the strange source of it all had now gone far.

Long Xiruo’s created body fell from above, then retracted, finally transformed into a sphere, returned to her hand.

“Not planning on continuing to restore the seal?” Luo Qiu suddenly asked.

Long Xiruo calmly said at this moment: “Don’t you think it’s ironic… As a true dragon of Godly Land, I actually use the Seal Dragon Stone to seal a ley line dragon.”

Luo Qiu didn’t speak, just took out a new towel from his backpack.

Yet Long Xiruo let the ‘rain’ drench her, ignoring it altogether, only walked to Luo Pianqian’s front, calmly said: “Take me back, Longing has already left here, there’s no need to stay.”

Luo Pianqian glanced at Luo Qiu in panic, only to see Luo Qiu shook his head, then nodded, only then did the little butterfly monster hurriedly bid farewell to Luo Qiu, then quickly spread colorful butterfly wings, taking Long Xiruo to leave from the sky.

After this, Luo Qiu walked to the front of the Seal Dragon Stone, looking at the engravings above. Originally, there were only three complete, now four were complete… Long Xiruo merely restored one of them.

Tracing over these engraved lines with his hand, made up of strands of cursed imprints, neat and orderly.

“It’s really delicate.”

Luo Qiu smiled slightly, then restored everything in the pool to its original state.

When the mist completely dissipated, the pool returned to its original form, the thunderous sound of the waterfall covering everything, and the orange-red sunlight made the place feel somewhat drowsy.

“It’s about time to go back.” Luo Qiu murmured, then closed his eyes, “Their location is… hmm, this way.”

…

…

When the dizziness gradually faded, and the heat filling the limbs also gradually subsided, a sense of emptiness followed.

As her body began to cool, Song Ying suddenly shivered, feeling a headache as she crawled up, rubbing her forehead with both hands.

But she also felt that something seemed off.

First, there was the issue of clothing… Although she had not gone all out for this outing, she certainly hadn’t dressed too lightly, yet now she was only wearing underwear clinging to her body.

Indeed, only clinging to her body—because the hooks on the back of her upper body underwear were even undone.

Some blurred fragments of consciousness started becoming clear… Song Ying glanced at Zhang Qingrui, who had fallen into some unusual situation with her.

At this glance, Song Ying suddenly panicked—because Zhang Qingrui had apparently also woken up.

This woman, reminiscent of a fresh lotus in summer, had reddened eyes. Though she had put on her clothes, they were far from neat.

On Zhang Qingrui’s fair neck, several reddish marks could be seen… Song Ying could figure out with a knee who made those marks.

Not knowing if it was the same on her own body.

Zhang Qingrui did not look at Song Ying, only sat hugging her knees… A huge sense of guilt made Song Ying hurriedly put her clothes on.

“I… I didn’t expect this to happen. Well… maybe it’s because of these tree vines…”

“Mm…”

“But… it’s actually no big deal. Look, I’m a woman too, and there’s no man involved, so technically we’re not losing anything, right?”

“Mm…”

“Actually, this kind of thing is quite common abroad, especially in high schools and universities… and it’s not necessarily just for the lesbian community; if the relationship is good… It’s a way to strengthen friendship…”

“Mm…”

Song Ying finally gave up on explaining, and lowered her head, “I’m sorry… Let’s just forget about it. You have to believe me, I actually prefer men more!”

“Mm…”

Song Ying sighed, feeling as if she’s completely become a villain character, who forcibly took advantage of a sheltered young lady.

In the deathly silent cave, things returned to the initial state, and Song Ying had no more means to ease the atmosphere, remaining silent.

Yet at this time, the phone ringtone rang sharply!

“It seems there is a signal!” Song Ying hurriedly found her phone from the ground, then looked back, “It’s a call from Luo Qiu.”

Zhang Qingrui only then showed a response.

“Hello!” Song Ying answered the call, “Luo Qiu, is that you?”

“… Besides myself, who else would use my phone to call you?”

“Just… stop talking!” Song Ying gritted her teeth, “Where are you now? Is Song Haoran with you? Listen, Zhang Qingrui and I fell into a pit and got trapped, we can’t get out! I’m sending you our location, see if you can find it.”

“Oh… I should be right above you. You just need to crawl out a bit…”

“Crawl? Do you know how deep this is… wait a minute!”

Song Ying paused at these words, then looked at Zhang Qingrui with confusion, only to see that Zhang Qingrui was now looking forward with surprise.

She said, “It seems… we can really climb out.”

“This…” Song Ying subconsciously stood up, but then suddenly hit her head hard against the rock above.

She cried out in pain… when did the ceiling of this cave become so low?

Moreover… the terrain was completely different from after she fell!

The two exchanged a glance, then began crawling forward, hunched over—just a few meters, and the space suddenly became spacious!

Song Ying and Zhang Qingrui straightened up, only to realize this pit… this big hole is only two to three meters deep—it only had a section at the bottom that was hidden—like someone dug this hole and then dug horizontally forward a few more meters.

Outside, the sky had completely dimmed, with only a dark red hue at the distant horizon… In such a mountain stream, it’s naturally dark.

“Can you come up?” Luo Qiu reached down his hand.

Song Ying and Zhang Qingrui nodded simultaneously. The two grabbed Luo Qiu’s extended hand one after the other, exerting some effort, finally crawling out of the pit.

“We’re finally saved…” Song Ying sighed with some emotion, yet when she met Luo Qiu’s strange gaze, she suddenly realized something was wrong!

The joy of being rescued, and the happiness of reuniting with companions overlapped, yet it was not double happiness—for in their hurry to climb up, the two were still disheveled.

“No, it’s not what you think!” Song Ying hurriedly waved her hands trying to explain something.

As for Zhang Qingrui, her face suddenly turned pale.

“Oh… okay.” Luo Qiu nodded.

Okay your sister!!
