Chapter 26 Flying Immortal from the Jade Pool
One after another, the Xuanyu Terrace was destroyed.
Yuan Qingsu and Yao Xi traveled hand in hand across the northern land, from one crimson land to another. At each place, they would find a place to stay briefly, set up some decoys, and then quickly cover up their tracks and leave.
After repeating this nine times, day turned into night, and the moonlight, like water, spilled onto the barren red earth, and Yao Xi finally stopped.
Under the enormous white moon, Yuan Qingsu looked around. The land was still the same unchanging red earth, stretching as far as the eye could see. The land was empty and desolate, with hardly any mountains or even large rocks to be seen.
"Senior sister, where is this?"
"I don't know either." Yao Xi shook her head slightly.
Her jade-like feet trod on the red sand, which looked exceptionally warm and delicate under the moonlight. The cold wind that came towards her tightened her dress, outlining her graceful figure wrapped in the fabric.
Yuan Qingsu held her hand, frowning slightly, and said, "Random teleportation? It would be troublesome if the Ji family caught up with us."
"Now you're scared? You didn't seem worried at all when you were beating Ji Haoyue. But don't worry, the Ji family won't catch up with us anytime soon, and neither will our Yao Guang people."
Yao Xi's voice became as clear and cold as the moonlight at night as she said, "I will have enough time to understand and master this flame."
"Senior Sister is a disciple of the Holy Lord. As the current Holy Maiden, she is the future and the pinnacle of the Holy Land. Why should she worry about having her opportunities taken away?" Yuan Qingsu tilted her head slightly, secretly wondering if she had already discovered the ruthless lineage within the Holy Land.
"Of course, so what about the Holy Maidens and Holy Masters? Leaving aside the distant past, do you know how many Holy Maidens and Holy Masters in the Holy Land have survived the past thousands of years, retiring to the background?"
"I don't know, does Senior Sister know?"
"I don't know either, because there are too many."
Yao Xi looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said softly, "My master, the Holy Lord, probably doesn't know either, or at least not all of it... These powerful people who live in seclusion deep in the Holy Land are the foundation of the Holy Land, but also a layer of outdated shackles. Their power is deeply rooted, and it is perfectly normal for them to rely on their seniority."
"The torch is not something that can be given away casually. If those old guys hear about it and come out to ask for it, it will be a real problem. So, my master personally crafted these jade platforms for me before I left home."
Yuan Qingsu exclaimed, "The Holy Lord has considered everything so thoroughly."
"So, how long are you going to keep holding my hand?"
"...I haven't held your hand enough yet."
Under Yuan Qingsu's inner vision, the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates in his mind space drew upon wisps of Daoist energy from the Moon Palace, outlining the general framework of the sixth derivative gate of the Human Body Treasure Gate, the Gate of the Mind. It would take time to fully forge it like the other gates.
It's just that the method of absorbing knowledge by holding hands is too slow.
"Let go, I'll let you hold my hand after I finish my business."
Yao Xi was both amused and annoyed. She gently pulled her hand away from Yuan Qingsu's and sat down cross-legged. She took out the "Fire Spirit" from the Sea of Bitterness and said, "You protect me. I want to try to summon the 'Fire Spirit' from the red pearl of the lamp wick. Legend has it that this Fire Spirit has existed since ancient times, carrying many human heritages. It is the teacher of the Great Emperor. If I obtain it, I will share a piece with you."
As she spoke, she closed her eyes, and a ray of divine light shot out from between her brows and flew into the ancient bronze lamp in her hand, where it fell silent.
"No way, she just thought I was a lecherous scoundrel, and now she's so trusting of me..." Yuan Qingsu stood quietly to the side for a while, then suddenly became a little curious. She squatted down next to Yao Xi and whispered, "Senior Sister?"
"..." Yao Xi remained silent.
"Senior sister?" He moved closer and could feel her even breathing.
"..." Yao Xi remained as still as a stone sculpture.
"He really got into it."
Yuan Qingsu frowned slightly, took two steps back to create distance, and sighed.
He felt uneasy, thinking that Yao Xi had acted too hastily in this matter. Even though she had used the Xuan Yu Platform so many times and set up so many traps, he still felt that she was unreliable.
This feeling wasn't strong at first; it was just a fleeting thought. But as time went on, it grew stronger.
"Something's wrong; it's 'Dao Wo' warning me!"
Two beams of clear light shone from his eyes. Yuan Qingsu secretly activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art Dao Palace Scroll, and a "Gate" mark appeared on his fair forehead. He heard wisps of divine Dao sounds in his ears, making the sense of urgency in his heart even stronger.
The operation of the ability of 【The Gate of Wisdom: The Way of Self】.
In a hazy state, a scene appeared in Yuan Qingsu's mind: an old man with a full head of gray hair, the Void Mirror above his head exuding a powerful aura, was violently colliding with a golden Buddha on the crimson earth, almost shattering the Shakyamuni forbidden artifact in his hand!
With the Void Mirror present, this gray-haired fellow must be some old codger from the Ji family...
A supreme being wielding an ultimate weapon would be difficult to defend against, even with my forbidden artifact, let alone such a taboo item that has been used repeatedly...
The disparity in strength is too great; we must find a place to hide as soon as possible to avoid this potentially inevitable "future," otherwise Yao Xi and I will be in danger before the elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land arrive...
But where is the best place to hide?
Yuan Qingsu hesitated for a moment, then without hesitation, he picked up the motionless Yao Xi, placed his hands on her legs, stepped on the holy light, and followed his intuition and the guidance of the Dao, heading towards a certain direction in the vast red land.
Half a day later, just before dawn, he suddenly stopped. His back was squeezed by two masses due to inertia, and wisps of Daoist energy rushed towards him. In this intimate contact, he completed the forging of the Gate of the Mind within the Yuan Qing Su thought space.
Several ethereal white shadows rose on the horizon, dreamlike and otherworldly, like flying immortals.
"A fairy descends from the Jade Pool!"
At this moment, Yuan Qingsu finally realized where "Dao Wo" had led her, and also deeply felt the power of "Men". It was possible to do this in the vast Northern Region without any information or the Black Emperor leading the way!
We've found the ancient site of Yaochi!
That's incredible!
This place is indeed an extraordinary and secluded spot.
After closing his eyes and groping around for a while, Yuan Qingsu, who was carrying Yao Xi on his back, suddenly pulled out one hand and slapped it hard on a patch of red sand, creating a large pit. From there, he unearthed an ancient well made of jade.
Without hesitation, he jumped into the ancient well, and before falling in, he waved his hand to gather the red sand and cover it back in its original place.
The land was barren and desolate. After the sand settled back to its original place, gusts of wind blew, changing the position of the dunes and altering the terrain, completely erasing any trace of Yuan Qing's presence.
I don't know how much time passed.
boom!!
The intense aura descended, as if an emperor had returned to the mortal realm. A terrifying aura, like that of a god, swept across the land. A majestic old man with a full head of gray hair descended from the sky, standing in mid-air and surveying all directions.
"The breath stopped here."
He spoke calmly, instructing the elders who followed him closely behind, "Find this brat even if you have to dig three feet into the ground! The matter of Haoyue, and that torch, cannot be overlooked!"
