Chapter 586 Twenty Years Later

Chapter 586 Twenty Years Later

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, I have something important to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Dressed neatly, Liu Yu walked in front of the door, cupped her hands and said.

Looking at Zhuo Mengzhen, whose cheeks were still flushed and whose clothes were half-covered, there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Just because of this, he entered the state of "like a saint or a Buddha" again.

"Um"

The audience watched Liu Yu getting dressed, and Zhuo Mengzhen gave a low response.

For some reason, she seemed to be in a low mood and did not continue practicing Qigong immediately to digest the results of dual cultivation.

Hearing this, Liu Yu didn't have any tender thoughts and immediately walked out.

Although in doing so, he is indeed suspected of not recognizing people by holding up his pants, but he has always been accustomed to looking at problems from the perspective of interests, rather than talking about feelings.

If it's about relationships, everything would be too much trouble. He doesn't have that much time to keep sorting things out and getting messy.

If we only talk about benefits, Liu Yu doesn't owe this woman anything.

Because he has a higher level of cultivation and has cultivated the three paths simultaneously, the other party can obviously gain more benefits during the entire dual cultivation process.

As for him, it was not a loss for him to temporarily solve the sequelae of the exercise.

And in the future, we can also provide some small help to the other party.

From this perspective, it seems that both parties are making money, so there is no need to owe anything.

Liu Yu noticed the other party's mood, but Liu Yu didn't think much and walked out of the woman's room.

On the stone bed, looking at the other person's leaving figure, a trace of loss flashed in Zhuo Mengzhen's eyes.

Because she was the target she once wanted to chase, she knew Liu Yu's information.

I knew that the other party had three concubines and had unclear relationships with many female cultivators. He was not the kind of cultivator who would be easily fettered by emotions.

However, when I think of the other party's graceful manner in rescuing him from a group of monsters, and his always strong posture, I still can't help but feel a strange feeling.

It was only when Liu Yu left without any hesitation that he couldn't help but feel that sense of loss.

Maybe this is a female cultivator. Even a powerful female cultivator can be more emotional sometimes.

Or, as "Mr. Zhou" said, the fastest way to a woman's heart is the "forest path."

…

Back in the room, Liu Yu took out the thick "Youmeng Heart Sutra", turned to the page recording "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Dream" and began to meditate.

He has already fully understood this secret technique. He believes that he will be able to fully understand it in a day or two, and then he can officially start practicing it.

In other words, "Da Meng Chun Qiu" is very suitable for Liu Yu. If it were a more powerful spell, he might not necessarily practice it.

Because in terms of attack, he has the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear, Qingyang Demonic Fire, Ten Thousand Soul Banner and other means, which are enough to deal with most situations, and he can also use several third-level spells.

The practice of every third-level spell must consume a lot of time. Even a golden elixir monk with a lifespan of six to seven hundred years has very limited time available.

During this period, not only did he have to accumulate a huge amount of mana, he also had to prepare for hitting the Nascent Soul bottleneck, and he also had to scramble for cultivation resources.

If what you learn is miscellaneous but not refined, and will not be of much help in the future, then there is almost no hope of condensing the Nascent Soul.

Not all monks can learn it instantly. Behind every spell and every art of cultivating immortality, countless sweat and efforts are required, and there are often no shortcuts.

So if you want to go further, you have to make a choice.

Liu Yu knew this very well, so after forming the elixir, he only learned a few third-level spells, covering three aspects: attack, defense, and assistance.

After that, learn no more.

After all, he was cultivating the three paths at the same time, and he didn't have much time left. He had to be careful with his time, and he couldn't be greedy for too much of some things.

Usually, I leave some things to my subordinates and try to save my own time.

Of course, there is still time to relax occasionally.

Two days later, the study of the secret technique "Deng Meng Chun Qiu" was completed, and Liu Yu officially began to practice.

In the cave nearly a hundred feet deep underground, everything is gradually on track.

Every year, Liu Yu would briefly leave the temporary cave to observe the situation of the demon cultivators outside.

It was not until the third year that the number of patrolling demon cultivators gradually decreased, and by the fifth year, the frequency of occurrences was close to returning to normal.

A group of people also set out in the fifth year and embarked on an unknown journey.

…

Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides.

The grass and trees wither and grow again, and the four seasons are constantly changing. The only thing that remains unchanged is the blazing sun in the sky.

As the four people hurried on cautiously, another fifteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

The night is long and dark.

A few rays of colorful light suddenly appeared on a pile of strange rocks, and four figures were gradually outlined.

The leader had black hair and black robes, and his pupils were as black as ink, shining with a rational luster.

He has a burly body, a resolute face, and exudes a strong masculinity.

But the hood of the black robe covered most of his face, making him look a little mysterious and scary.

"Huh~"

Liu Yu opened his hood and exhaled a heavy breath, his eyes flashed with vicissitudes of life, and his face was full of weather and fatigue.

He opened his palms and pressed his fingers one by one, counting the time until he entered the Hengduan Mountains.

"One year, two years, eight years, twenty-eight years."

"Twenty-eight years."

"Unknowingly, it has been twenty-eight years since I entered the Hengduan Mountains."

"Liu is close to two hundred years old."

After calculating the time and his age, Liu Yu sighed lightly and sighed.

When Zhuo Mengzhen, Mu Yunyan, and Gao Jianhan heard this, their expressions were also downcast, with a little confusion in their eyes.

During the twenty-eight years of "smuggling", I lived in fear every day, lest I be discovered by the demon cultivator.

Even the golden elixir monk's mental endurance is close to the limit.

The four of them had weathered faces, and the exhaustion in their bodies and hearts could not be suppressed, all showing on their faces.

For twenty-eight years, even Liu Yu, who was heartbroken, was tired of this kind of life!

"Twenty-eight years."

In the dark pile of strange rocks, Gao Jianhan looked at the continuous volcanoes in the distance, his voice hoarse.

At this time, this person's appearance has changed a lot from twenty years ago.

On his chin, a three-inch long, disorderly beard sprouted, and he had no intention of cutting it off, making him look a bit unkempt.

His current appearance is more vicissitudes of life and calmness, like a wandering swordsman who lives with his sword.

In darkness, there is no light.

The four people merged into the rich darkness, their outlines were hazy, and only four pairs of bright eyes were still shining with a little luster.

"Can we really reach the Central Realm?"

The volcano in the distance was shining brightly, constantly emitting light and heat to dispel the darkness, but when Mu Yunyan looked at it, she felt extremely confused.

That dazzling brilliance does not belong to them.

Here, they are like mice crossing the street, they can only hide here and there and sneak in dark corners!

"Definitely!"

Liu Yu's tone was decisive, without any hesitation, and continued:

"Twenty-eight years, such a long journey, with countless dangers along the way, we have made it through."

"How can we be stopped by the difficulties in front of us!"

"According to records, the "Spark Mountains" are located in the second half of the journey."

"As long as I pass this blockade, I will not be far from the "Annan Protectorate" of the Tang Dynasty."

"All your efforts will be rewarded!"

Looking at the fire in the distance, his face was full of determination.

Although there are many uncertainties in his heart, Liu Yu knows that as the strongest person in the team, he must not lose confidence.

If he loses confidence, the team will have even less hope.

For twenty-eight years, the days are like years. No matter how firm your will is, it will be wasted in suffering.

They have experienced too much danger and suffering.

Even the Golden elixir cultivator's faith began to waver, he felt confused and worried about the future prospects.

Even Liu Yu had to admit that he felt a little shaken in his heart and was no longer as firm and calm as before.

It's just that he was used to not showing his emotions on the surface, so he didn't show it.

"I hope so."

Mu Yunyan sighed and replied softly.

More than twenty years have passed, and this woman has changed a lot. She is no longer dressed like a girl in palace clothes, but now she is wearing a red outfit.

She looks mature and charming, and her whole person looks much neater.

Zhuo Mengzhen's eyes were shining brightly, and he stood two feet away from Liu Yu, quietly looking at the Xinghuo Mountains without saying a word.

At this time, she looked much more mature, with the temperament of a new wife, and there was a hint of charm between her brows, making her look completely different from before she entered the mountain.

After more than twenty years, she has become accustomed to the ambiguous relationship between the two. Everyone knows it, so she no longer hides it.

At this time, with the blessing of dual cultivation, this woman's realm has been promoted to the middle stage of Jindan.

Among them, Liu Yu's contribution is naturally indispensable.

It was a dim night, and the bright moon was obscured by dark clouds. The four of them stood quietly in the dark pile of strange rocks, silently observing the movements of the Xinghuo Mountains.

From time to time, they would think of something, and the four of them would occasionally exchange words, not knowing what each other was thinking.

Perhaps, he is worried about the future.

According to ancient records, the Xinghuo Mountains are the territory of the Fire Phoenix Clan, which has lasted from ancient times to the present.

The strength of their tribe is extremely astonishing. Even the fourth-level demon cultivators maintain above double digits every generation.

Legend has it that there are still cultivators who transform into gods and demons.

It's just that the four people's understanding of the Fire Phoenix Clan is still based on ancient books. It's unknown what the real situation is now.

At this point, some observation is necessary to know the real situation.

Liu Yu cleared her mind and looked into the distance quietly, trying her best to soothe the negative emotions in her heart.

After a while, after the turbulent waves in his heart calmed down, the information about the Fire Phoenix Clan flashed through his mind.

Although named "Fire Phoenix", this Fire Phoenix tribe has little to do with the true spirit Phoenix.

At most, he has a trace of True Spirit blood, and he can be regarded as a "distant relative" of True Spirit Phoenix.

But even so, compared to ordinary monsters, the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix clan is extremely powerful. It ranks at the top of the spirit monster bloodline and is a noble among nobles!

Comparable to the dragon clan, he seems to be the king among all monsters.

And it has been passed down from ancient times that the Fire Phoenix Clan has a long heritage. Even the Human Nascent Soul Sect seems very ordinary and insignificant in front of it.

There are countless "old antiques" in his clan.

The strength of any single fire phoenix is ​​far higher than that of the same level. It is common to fight in smaller realms.

Although the size of its tribe is not large, its chances of being promoted to the third and fourth levels are far higher than those of ordinary demon cultivators, and they also have many minions.

Mu Yunyan, Gao Jianhan, and Zhuo Mengzhen, if they were to face an early stage third-level fire phoenix alone, they might not be able to defeat it even if they were a small level higher.

After waiting and watching for a long time, Zhuo Mengzhen opened up an underground space, and Mu Yunyan arranged the "Ice Soul Mysterious Light Array" to cover it up as usual.

After months of traveling, they were physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, the four of them were not in the mood to think about how to deal with the current difficulties. They just wanted to have a good rest.

Let’s talk about the future matters after the break.

"Rumble"

As a curtain of water-blue light lit up, and finally disappeared, the arrangement of the Ice Soul Mysterious Light Array was completed.

Seeing this, the four of them also returned to their respective rooms.

When Zhuo Mengzhen returned to his room, he looked back at someone as if by accident.

Her stone door was just closed, but the restriction was not opened.

"."

Liu Yuxin understood and nodded imperceptibly.

He first returned to his room, and after a while, he reappeared in the hall, coming from the door of Zhuo Mengzhen's room.

"Rumble"

A spell was cast casually, and the door slowly opened.

"tread"

The stone door opened wide, and Liu Yu saw the female cultivator sitting in front of the dressing table at a glance, and strode into it with familiar steps.

He picked up the female cultivator from behind.

A pair of slightly cold little hands naturally wrapped themselves around his neck at this moment, and their movements were extremely skillful.

At this moment, neither of them spoke.

Because of the sequelae of the exercise and the long journey, the two of them communicated more frequently after the first and second time.

Under huge psychological pressure, not knowing whether there will be a tomorrow, both of them need to find a way to vent.

The unclear relationship has remained until now.

Regarding Liu Yu's previous situation, Zhuo Mengzhen didn't ask much about Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan, but just took in the current feeling.

"Rumble"

The ban is opened and the stone gate is closed.

Soon, strange sounds began to sound in the room, which lasted for five or six hours.

(Five thousand words are omitted here)

…

The rain stopped and the wind stopped, everything calmed down.

Five or six hours later, Zhuo Mengzhen, still with a faint blush on his face, sat cross-legged on the futon and practiced his exercises.

With the blessing of dual cultivation, although she has not taken the elixir, her cultivation speed is not slow, and she has now gone some distance in the middle stage of the elixir.

Liu Yu was dressed neatly, feeling much more relaxed physically and mentally at this time, no longer as depressed as before.

According to past habits, he planned to leave.

"Um?"

Walking to a small pink table, Liu Yu paused.

On the small table, there are still a few pieces of white paper and a folded paper crane.

More folded paper cranes were put into a transparent jar.

He accidentally discovered that one of the half-folded pieces of white paper seemed to be the same one he had seen more than 20 years ago, and the second line of that year had already been written.

"Thousands of worries pile up into a crane"

"Thousands of emotions are written into poetry"

Liu Yu read out in a low voice.

Looking back at Zhuo Mengzhen, the blush on his face seemed to be a little more intense, and his eyebrows were trembling slightly.

"."

He looked at her deeply, but said nothing, as if he didn't understand, and left the woman's room.

Although the process was extremely difficult, traveling through mountains and rivers, and hiding in XZ, the hardships involved are incomprehensible to outsiders.

Liu Yu's belief was once shaken.

But thinking about the immortal path, after a brief period of confusion, I still became determined and moved steadily towards the original goal.

At this time, he only had one thought in his mind, which was to reach the Central Territory!

As for everything else, lean back and don't have time to think about it.

"tread"

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Liu Yu's figure gradually moved away, and finally disappeared.

In the room, Zhuo Mengzhen opened his eyes, bit his lips gently, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Then, she closed the door, opened the restriction, and continued practicing.

In the current environment, one trial would have exhausted all your courage.

The difficult reality does not allow her to think wildly, and she must seize the opportunity to improve her strength.

…

As usual, after two days of rest, the four of them gathered in the hall to discuss strategies for passing the "Spark Mountains".

PS: It’s a little slow. There is still a 4,000-word chapter in the early morning, but fellow Taoists, don’t wait, you can read it in the morning.
