Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 25: Lying Drunk on the Clouds and Watching the World
Kuaiji Mountain
Kuaiji Mountain is located in the center of the five-pointed star continent of the Void Realm. This mountain has 7749 strange peaks, with mountains overlapping and towering mountains. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers here, and ancient cypresses and pines stretch like a sea. The mist is lingering, and the clouds are lingering, creating a fairyland scene. However, Kuaiji Mountain is a forbidden area for ordinary people.
Because it is said that there are often some ancient strange beasts on Kuaiji Mountain, and they are all things that want to eat people. Even more terrifying is another legend. It is said that many years ago, a white-haired witch with profound Taoism came to Kuaiji Mountain. Because she liked the pleasant scenery here, she has been living in this mountain. The white-haired witch is said to have boundless magic power and immortality. Not only does she keep those ancient strange beasts as pets, she herself also eats human flesh and drinks human blood to prolong her life.
At that time, many daring young people and even those with profound Taoist skills went into the mountain without any concern, wanting to find the White-haired Witch and even to compete with her. However, they ended up like a meat bun throwing a dog, never to return. Over time, the White-haired Witch on Mount Kuaiji became a terrible legend, and this paradise on earth became a dangerous and mysterious forbidden area passed down by word of mouth.
However, an unexpected visitor came to the usually peaceful Kuaiji Mountain today. This man had silver hair and a beard, was thin and elegant, and looked carefree and confident as he flew through the mountains of Kuaiji Mountain on a sword. He seemed to be looking for something. After circling several times, he suddenly stopped flying on the sword and slightly closed his eyes. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in front of his forehead, and a pure white beam of light shot out from between his eyebrows. The light slowly formed a silver curtain and spread out, as if to cover the entire Cangshan Mountain!
When the stranger was trying to search for something with his "Third Eye", he unexpectedly bumped into another pair of "eyes". The inky "eyes" stared back at him, as if warning or mocking him.
Found it! The stranger immediately adjusted his breathing and tried to use the long-distance sound transmission to make contact with the owner of the pair of eyes.
Unexpectedly, the other party's voice reached the eardrum first. "It's you? You're such a rare guest. What are you doing here?!" What came was a cold female voice. Although the tone was not loud, it carried a hint of displeasure and a strong threat.
"Let me negotiate a deal with you." The voice of the silver-haired old man was as clear as a bell, without any fear.
"What is there to talk about between us?" The cold female voice replied impatiently, as if with a snort.
"You and I will join hands. After the task is accomplished, the Heavenly Stone will be mine, and the girl will be yours!" The old man spoke with certainty, emphasizing each word.
There was silence, a long silence, and after the silence there was a crazy laugh: "Haha, interesting, what makes you, a stubborn old guy, suddenly enlightened! Let me guess, could it be that your kid has returned to the underworld again?" Upon hearing this, the other party became interested and began to ridicule the old man.
"Why do you ask when you already know the answer? Since you have already sent people to Yonghui City, you must have expected those two people to return to the Xuming World." Ignoring the other party's ridicule, the old man calmly stated the facts, but his tone was emotionless.
"Then you should naturally know that as long as that girl falls into my hands, the stone will naturally be mine. It will never be your turn to have a share. Why bother yourself here?" The cold female voice suddenly became a little up and down, with an even stronger sense of ridicule.
"Don't think I don't know that you are now sealed by the Spirit Blood Curse and cannot leave Kuaiji Mountain. Do you think that your few young disciples can really do anything to that girl?" With a heavy cold snort, the old man interrupted the other party's bluffing and pointed out the other party's weakness without any hesitation. The tone was as if he was talking about his own business, and the sarcasm in his mouth was obvious.
"How do you know if you don't try? Don't underestimate my little apprentice. He is the descendant of that man. Although he is still young now, he will definitely be as good as your boy in the future."
"You thought you had planned everything, but unfortunately, you were still a step too late this time. The boy from the Ruoye tribe suddenly rushed back, and your apprentice was defeated."
"..." As if he had not expected that the other party would know all his arrangements, and had not expected to hear such bad news from the other party, the owner of those eyes was unusually silent.
"The key to lifting the blood curse is to refine the girl's blood. But after your apprentice failed this time, it may not be so easy to capture her alive..."
"I have my own way of doing this, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Don't forget, she is Yao Ji's reincarnation, the Shamo wizard. The power of Yao Ji in her body is gradually awakening. In time, if her consciousness and Yao Ji's consciousness are combined into one, she will be so powerful that you and I will not be able to contend with her. At that time, it will probably be a fantasy to refine her..."
"Do you have any good idea?" The woman's voice suddenly became sharp.
"If I didn't have enough confidence, I wouldn't come here!"
"...But you are a cunning person, I don't believe you!" After hesitating for a while, the other party answered like this, but indirectly agreed to the conditions set by the old man.
"Then, why don't we make a blood pact?" As if to express his sincerity to the other party, the old man slowly said the most taboo word in the virtual world - blood pact. Use your own blood and the other party's blood to make a life and death blood pact. If one party breaks the oath, the blood pact will backfire and devour their soul, so that they will never be reincarnated and turn into dust.
"Okay, I promise you, but everything has to wait until you bring the girl here." After saying this, the pair of inky eyes slowly closed and disappeared in the smoke and haze of Kuaiji Mountain.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." The old man looked at his own head, his eyes full of determination.
Although he failed in the battle against Sha Mo five hundred years ago, he will never fail again five hundred years later!
A desolate mountain outside Yonghui City
Although it cannot compare with the fairyland in Kuaiji Mountain, the forest outside Yonghui City is also lush and green, and appears particularly quiet. Unfortunately, a troublemaker suddenly came to this originally quiet forest.
With a loud 'bang', the body of the little boy flew out like a sledgehammer and slammed into the trunk of a thousand-year-old tree not far away. That small body was like a sledgehammer, containing tremendous power, and broke the thousand-year-old tree, which was as thick as a person, in half. The tree fell down with a snap!
But the young boy didn't even frown, and set his sights on several thousand-year-old trees nearby. Then, more and more trees were ravaged, and the boy's face turned pale and blue, his eyes were red, and his expression was solemn, as if he was suffering from great pain in his body, but he didn't know why he had to use such a strange behavior as hitting the trees to relieve his pain.
He was seen rushing through the forest like a startled wild goose, looking for those strong and sturdy trees to crash into. After knocking down one, he would move on to another, and so on, over and over again. Before long, the originally lush forest was reduced to broken branches and leaves and a mess due to his destruction.
Finally someone couldn't stand it anymore...
"Zeze, are you okay? Stop bumping into me. I'm feeling dizzy."
"Zeze, did your head get hurt?"
A sound like a double-barreled cannon suddenly rang out not far away. As if they couldn't bear to see the madness of their junior brother, the twins who were sitting on the shoulders of the demon ape Zhu Yan with great boredom and following not far behind the boy finally couldn't help but speak.
The first person to speak was the girl of the twins. At this moment, she was seen holding her chin with both hands, weakly supporting it on her knees. Her slender eyebrows were narrowed into a slit, and her face showed a hint of helplessness.
Wucheng Shen's family went to steal a pill that was said to be able to calm the soul and prolong life, the "Nine-turn Life-Prolonging Pill", to prolong the life of the half-dead woman, while Zeze was responsible for using the puppet worm to control the woman's consciousness and take her out of the city. Then the three of them agreed to meet at the "Qizhilong" not far away one day later.
However, he did not expect that after he and his sister had worked hard to sneak into Wucheng, they found that the Shen family in Wucheng had long been deserted. It was said that the entire family had moved to Shamo City.
Helpless, they had to return in disappointment, thinking that they would make other plans after Zeze brought the woman out of the city. No matter whether she was dead or alive, they would bring her back to Kuaiji Mountain to report to their master first. However, they did not expect that the situation here was even worse. Zeze came empty-handed and injured. The brother and sister then realized that Zeze had run into a mysterious master of the Ruoye tribe under Yonghui City yesterday. Although Zeze did not admit that he was defeated, seeing that he returned empty-handed and injured, the outcome was obvious at a glance.
What made him even more curious was that although their junior brother Zeze was still young, he was gifted and had unfathomable strength. According to the master, he was a rare prodigy in a century, and his cultivation was far superior to that of the two brothers and sisters. If Zeze attacked suddenly, even thousands of troops might not be able to stop him. So what kind of person was the mysterious master of the Ruoye tribe? How could he defeat Zeze?
And the most frustrating thing is that the woman they had snatched away with great difficulty fell back into the hands of the Ruoye tribe. Who were the three of them working so hard for these days?
Zeze's crazy appearance at this time also made him worried. Although Zeze himself said that it was no big deal and he just suffered some internal injuries, but looking at his appearance, it was not as calm as Zeze said. Could it be that the other party used some strange magic to burn Zeze's brain?
The young man named Zeze had no idea of the worries in his senior brother’s heart. He rushed like a wild bull and smashed another old tree as thick as a man. Then he gasped and cursed: "What kind of magic did that damn fish man use to make the spiritual power in my body run wild!"
It turned out that his crazy behavior was only because his spiritual power was out of control, so he had to find a way to vent it... It was a pity that those innocently broken thousand-year-old trees became the victims of the genius boy's power dissipation.
