#486 - Old Man in Straw Hat and Raincoat on a Boat
Mu Yunxi turned and walked back with a cold face.
Just as she was about to reach Jun Wuxie, she saw him suddenly open his eyes and immediately shouted, "Retreat!"
Mu Yunxi was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
Jun Wuxie, who was sitting there, suddenly felt as if a world had exploded inside his body with a loud bang.
In an instant, every pore on his body spewed out terrifying energy and blood.
The energy formed terrifying ripples, creating extremely strong sound waves that swept across all directions in an instant.
The void instantly annihilated.
Mu Yunxi, unable to dodge, was hit by the impact and only had time to hastily condense an ice shield.
But the shield shattered into pieces under the impact of the blood energy.
She was sent flying with a bang, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
She didn't have time to think about what had happened and continued to retreat, because the blood energy was still raging and surging, and the impact range continued to expand.
What's going on?
She was dumbfounded, the scene before her eyes was too terrifying.
The energy in Jun Wuxie's body seemed to be out of control, surging out frantically.
The energy swept across a hundred miles, and all the space within the covered area was shattered, forming a huge black hole.
"Jun Wuxie!"
Mu Yunxi was anxious, she didn't know what terrible thing had happened to Jun Wuxie.
If a person's energy is out of control, there must be a big problem in their body!
Could it be that his acquisition of the Small World Tree caused an accident?
She really wanted to see Jun Wuxie's current state, but she couldn't see anything.
In the center of the void black hole within a hundred miles, golden light was dazzling, as if the great sun above the nine heavens had fallen there, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
What to do?
Her face was pale, and she was extremely anxious.
"Jun Wuxie! Can you hear my voice?"
Her voice was filled with anxiety.
"Jun Wuxie! Answer me, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Yunxi was very flustered.
Boom!
Another loud noise.
The raging blood energy receded like a tide, shrinking towards the center.
The dazzling golden light in the center, like the sun, soared into the sky and hung there.
Then, the dazzling golden light gradually converged.
Revealing Jun Wuxie's body.
His eyes were tightly closed, he was sitting in the air, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Sharp golden light bloomed in his deep eyes.
"You're worried about me?"
He smiled and landed in front of her.
"I'm not!"
Mu Yunxi came back to her senses and realized her gaffe, and quickly turned her back to him.
After calming her emotions, her face returned to its cold state, and then she turned around to look at him and said, "What happened to you just now?"
"I hurt you."
Jun Wuxie's voice was very warm, like a spring breeze brushing against one's heart.
While Mu Yunxi was slightly distracted, he naturally reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"You... I'll do it myself..."
Mu Yunxi's face was slightly red, she took a step back, dodged, and then wiped the blood off herself, but she lowered her head slightly and didn't dare to look at him.
She felt her heart suddenly beat so fast.
Why is this happening?
She had never had such a feeling before.
The rapid heartbeat made her whole body feel soft and numb, her cheeks were hot, such a strange feeling...
"Yunxi, I've broken through."
"Ah?"
Mu Yunxi looked at him blankly, a little absent-minded.
"I said I've broken through to the Legendary level."
Jun Wuxie had a warm, sunny smile on his lips.
"What? Legendary level?"
Mu Yunxi stared at him blankly.
This man has become a legend!
When she heard such news, she felt happy and proud for him, without any envy or jealousy.
At the same time, she was also deeply shocked.
Legendary level, since ancient times, in the long river of years, geniuses have emerged one after another, but how many people can step into the legend?
Legendary level in the Half-step Sovereign Realm, unheard of in ancient times!
Is this man in front of her a human or a god?
What does the Legendary level mean? As the name suggests, such an existence should not exist in the world, it should only exist in legends!
The gap between Myriad Generations and Legend, even if it is the peak of the tenth level of Myriad Generations, or a Quasi-Legend, seems to be only one step away from the real Legend, but in reality, it is separated by a chasm, out of reach!
"You should take the Small World Fruit quickly to further awaken the power of your bloodline and increase the intensity of your talent growth. Maybe you can really get an Ascension-type inheritance secret technique."
As Jun Wuxie spoke, he gently flicked his fingers, and twenty plump Small World Fruits floated in front of Mu Yunxi.
"You... are these for me?"
Mu Yunxi couldn't believe it, the Small World Fruit was a peerless treasure!
"That's right, keep them. Although each person can only take two fruits at most, you can give them to people in your sect in the future. But I hope you can give them to your Sect Master and your Sect Master's confidants."
"You..." Mu Yunxi looked at him, hesitant to speak, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "You have a good relationship with our Sect Master, right?"
Jun Wuxie raised his eyebrows slightly. Of course, it's good. They've been entangled hundreds of times. How could it not be good?
But naturally, he couldn't say these words: "I saved your Sect Master's life in the Burial Corpse Ancient Land, and she also came forward to help when the Great Zhou Imperial City was in trouble. Therefore, I hope that when you distribute these fruits, you can try to distribute them to those in your sect who, like you, are loyal to your Sect Master."
"You may have some misunderstanding about our Ice Cloud Tower." Mu Yunxi shook her head and said, "Our Ice Cloud Tower is different from other sects. We don't have internal strife. The entire sect is united as one, and there is no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty."
"Is that so?" Jun Wuxie said very casually, "Then what about you towards your Sect Master?"
Mu Yunxi was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, for example, if your Sect Master has different ideas from your high-level members, such as the Guardians, who would you choose to stand on the side of?"
"How could that be?" Mu Yunxi didn't believe that such a thing would happen, and she still said in a firm tone: "No matter what, I will stand on the Sect Master's side, because she is..."
"She is what?"
"It's nothing, I wanted to say, she is the best person in the sect to me."
Jun Wuxie nodded and said, "So, what I mean is, the fruits that you pick yourself can be handed over, but I hope that the fruits I give you can be distributed to those in your sect who, like you, will support your Sect Master at any time."
"I understand."
Mu Yunxi put away those fruits, leaving one behind.
She sat down cross-legged, ate the fruit in her hand, and slowly closed her eyes.
In fact, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She always felt that Jun Wuxie's attitude towards the Sect Master was a little strange.
But she couldn't tell where it was wrong, so she didn't delve into it.
Jun Wuxie retreated a little further and waited quietly.
Half a day later, Mu Yunxi, who had taken two Small World Fruits one after another, had her talent growth intensity promoted twice.
She was originally at the peak of the fourth level of the Myriad Generations King.
Although the effect of the second fruit was somewhat reduced, it still allowed her to successfully advance to the sixth level of the Myriad Generations.
Her bloodline was further awakened, and as he expected, she obtained a bloodline inheritance secret technique at this step, which was a Small Ascension Technique that could increase her own combat power several times after being used.
With the Small Ascension Technique, Mu Yunxi's strength was no longer the same.
In the past, although she had the Ice Cloud Tower's Taboo Ascension Technique, every quasi-Dominator and above force had a Taboo Ascension Technique that could increase their own combat power by nine times.
In a situation where everyone has it, it is actually equivalent to not having it during battle.
Moreover, the Taboo Ascension Technique consumes too much and will be countered to a certain extent after use. All the geniuses will not use it easily unless they are forced to the edge of death and fall into a desperate situation.
Mu Yunxi got up, felt the changes in herself, and her clear eyes were full of confident light.
"Very good, you are now a qualified Myriad Generations level heavenly pride."
Jun Wuxie looked at her state and was very pleased.
Without the Small Ascension Technique, she always had a huge defect, and now she has finally made up for it.
"Thank you."
Mu Yunxi was very grateful in her heart. If it weren't for this man in front of her, she would have fallen into the hands of those people long ago.
Death is not terrible, but it is the most tragic thing to not be able to protect one's chastity after death.
If it weren't for this man saving her, how could she have her current achievements?
All the opportunities were given to her by him.
"You're so easily moved?" Jun Wuxie said seriously, "Usually, when men give beautiful women benefits, it's a common trick to capture their hearts. In fact, they just covet their bodies, so you must not be fooled."
"Are you too?"
Mu Yunxi was stunned by his words.
"Anyway, I'm not a good person."
Jun Wuxie smiled and turned to leave.
"No one would say such lewd thoughts in their heart, and the target is still the person he wants to coax. I don't believe it, you are not that kind of person!"
Mu Yunxi followed behind him, using her own reasons to excuse him.
She looked at his back and felt that this man was so strange.
What is he thinking in his heart?
What kind of man is he?
She was full of curiosity and couldn't help but want to know more.
......
They gradually walked away, and their shadows were stretched very long under the setting sun.
Crossing high mountains, crossing deep ravines, crossing plains...
They didn't know how many millions of miles they had traveled.
The sky was already dark.
The night sky was dotted with stars, especially bright.
The round moon hung high like a silver plate, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling a radiant glow between the sky and the earth.
It was late at night, and the wind was rising.
A slight coolness permeated the air.
Ahead lay a river, its murky water flowing slowly.
The river was wide, and the night wind stirred up ripples on its surface.
"There's a boat!"沐云兮 exclaimed, pointing towards the riverbank, where a lone boat drifted.
君无邪 frowned slightly. How could there be a boat here?
Moreover, it seemed to be a wooden boat!
How many years had the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm existed?
Even steel would have decayed, so how could a wooden boat remain intact?
The appearance of this boat on the riverbank was truly strange.
"We can cross directly; there's no need for a boat."
They emerged from the mountains and landed by the river.
At that moment, an aged chant came from the lone boat drifting on the river.
"A lone boat ferries a lifetime.
A lone boat ferries through the mortal world.
A lone boat travels through the ages."
君无邪 and 沐云兮 were taken aback.
From the boat's cabin emerged a hunched figure wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
The hat was large, obscuring the person's face.
As if sensing someone on the shore, the hunched figure slightly raised its head and looked over.
君无邪 and 沐云兮's pupils constricted slightly.
It was a face covered in wrinkles, extremely pale, without any color. Its eyes were cloudy, and it was now grinning at them, revealing a mouthful of decayed, blackened teeth.
That smile seemed sinister and eerie no matter how one looked at it.
君无邪, not wanting to pay attention to the strange boatman, was about to cross the river when a golden light suddenly illuminated the distant sky to the left.
He turned to look, but the golden light was very far away. Even with the Primal Chaos Eyes activated, he could hardly see its exact location, as if it were at the river's end.
However, he felt an indescribable sword intent.
Faintly, he seemed to see the shadow of a sword within the golden light.
"Could it be the Xuanyuan Sword?"
He immediately had a guess in his mind.
Besides the Xuanyuan Sword, what other weapon could create such an astonishing sight?
Moreover, how could that sword intent be somewhat similar to the Red Dust Sword Intent he cultivated?
"Let's go! We'll head towards the golden light, following the river!"
He grabbed 沐云兮 and sped away like a stream of light, the mountains and rivers on both sides rapidly receding.
The scenery was constantly changing.
But they discovered that the distance between them and the golden light seemed to have not changed at all.
"Something seems wrong!"
君无邪 stopped and looked to both sides, his heart sinking.
They had been running wildly, at several hundred times the speed of sound!
But upon stopping, they found themselves still in the same place.
Turning his head, he saw the lone boat quietly drifting on the river, the old man in the straw raincoat and bamboo hat on the boat giving them an eerie smile.
