Quietly looking at the boundless lake, Zong Shou's thoughts were in a mess, filled with emotions.
Roughly ten thousand years later, there would be a huge city here. And he was born in the vicinity. When he was young, he struggled bitterly here, and after he made a name for himself, he lived here. He was born here and grew up here, bearing his numerous joys and sorrows, as well as numerous memories.
Sighing, Zong Shou waved away the sadness in his heart. He was already an ancient person from ten thousand years ago, and there was not even a shadow of that huge city in the future.
"This Water Fairy Lake is really f * cking wide! This is the first time I've seen such a huge lake! "
Hu Zhongyuan had followed closely behind Zong Shou since he jumped off the carriage. At this moment, he was in awe.
"However, why did Young Master come here? Although the scenery here is great, there aren't many people within a few thousand miles. There are also numerous beasts nearby, but I'm not afraid of that. Only in this Water Fairy Lake is a Black Water Chill Serpent … "
Zong Shou smiled slightly and didn't reply. He came to the Water Fairy Lake this time for his Barriers from Heaven. To solve this obstacle, walking the path that he had walked before was the best.
Who knew what the situation was like ten thousand years ago?
As for that Chill Serpent, Zong Shou didn't really care much about it. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid, but that this Chill Serpent should have fallen into a deep sleep. When it woke up twenty years later, it had evolved into a god beast body. In Donglin Cloud Continent, it had caused a huge storm. Not only were there many records of it in the history books of the nearby cities, but there were also many related quests in the God-Emperor game.
As a mid-late stage dungeon boss, it had been tortured and killed many times.
This was why Zong Shou wasn't worried at all. He was only worried that the geography of that place would be different from ten thousand years later, and he would have to find another place to cultivate.
When the Cloud-Crossing Carriage stopped by the lakeside, the four of them began to work together. They chose a relatively high and dry area near the lakeside and built a few wooden houses as temporary residences.
The four of them were all Xiantian martial artists, and Zong Shou and Chu Xue were even Spirit Masters. It was extremely convenient for them to do this kind of woodworking. With a few slashes, the wood was sliced into pieces in an extremely neat manner. Using a few fire element spells to slightly roast it, he would be able to dehydrate it. Zong Shou had some talent in architecture. Even though the wooden house was built in a hurry, it still looked beautiful.
After that, he assigned tasks to the three of them.
"Catch fish in the lake? And three thousand a day? You're not allowed to sleep until you're done? "
Chu Xue furrowed her brows. Could it be that Young Master was retaliating? That was most likely the case. Catching birds was not enough, and now he wanted to catch fish?
"Young Master, can you not go? Why don't you let Xue 'er warm your bed? I really can't sleep with you, Xue and Young Master are still young … "
Looking at the weird gazes that Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Yuan shot over, Zong Shou's face turned red for the first time, and his expression was one of awkwardness. He directly knocked her head, "What are you thinking about? You are nimble and not fast enough. Catching fish in the lake is the best solution for the problem! If you continue to make excuses, be careful that I don't make you copy books again … "
Chu Xue was still frowning, thinking that if they wanted to catch so many fish, they might as well kill her. Just as she was about to bargain, Zong Shou picked up a thick talisman scripture and gave out a vicious laugh. His heart skipped a beat, and he jumped into the water in an extremely obedient manner.
Zong Shou then looked at Zong Yuan, who was in a lifeless state. He didn't say any nonsense, directly flicking a piece of paper over.
The latter casually caught it, casually taking a look, and then he was startled.
… Daily forward step spear 100 times, left spinning spear 125 times, right step spear 100 times …
They were all basic spear techniques, but what was this mess? To let him, a peak Xiantian expert, train in all this?
He originally wanted to ask, but then he remembered that he was like a walking corpse, and had nothing to live for. He would just follow this kid to train. He didn't mind, keeping the piece of paper in his arms.
To let him stay at the entrance of Gantian Mountain City for 3 days and 3 nights, this prince might really do it.
Zong Shou smiled, not bothering about him. His gaze exchanged glances with Hu Zhongyuan, who was filled with anticipation, "Old Brother Hu, you are twice my age and also a 5 meridian Martial Ancestor expert. Do you need me to give you pointers?"
Hu Zhongyuan laughed, shaking his head disapprovingly, "There is no seniority in learning, the one who reaches the top is the first! Although the prince hasn't reached Xiantian, you have already comprehended sword intent and your sword path is one with the spirit. In terms of cultivation, even my father isn't your opponent. I, Hu Zhongyuan, have only comprehended the strength of the martial path. Since I entered Martial Ancestor, I have not improved much and have been unable to break through. If I can get some pointers from the prince, I will definitely improve! "
Zong Shou sighed with a headache. The father and son of the Hu family cultivated in blade techniques. Although the blade path and the sword path were two sides of the same coin and were connected, there were still some differences.
Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou said seriously, "I am not good at blade techniques, but if old brother Hu wants to improve on blade strength, I might be able to help! Only this method might be a little dangerous. Don't move … "
Just as Hu Zhongyuan was feeling surprised, Zong Shou suddenly pulled out his sword, and then all around him were blade shadows.
It was obviously a sword, but in his eyes it was a bright blade light.
On the other hand, this half-demon youth seemed to have transformed into an enormous multicolored tiger that opened its bloody mouth and bit down.
This sudden attack was not only without any signs, but it was also so quick that he couldn't react at all.
Hu Zhongyuan instinctively wanted to gather up the true energy in his body, but he thought back to what Zong Shou said before and hurriedly suppressed it.
However, when the sky full of blade shadows swept over, he still felt a chill down his spine. He pretty much thought that Zong Shou really wanted to take his life!
When the blade light disappeared, only to see that there were dozens of tears on his clothes. At the center of his brows, there was even a bloody wound.
The other tears on his clothes were all caused by the sword energy. Only this wound was truly pierced by the sword tip.
Hu Zhongyuan's eyes flashed with bewilderment, "This blade is Tiger Roaring in All Directions?"
"… It is the Tiger Roar that Uncle Hu used that day! After that battle, Zong Shou had a deep impression of it and barely managed to learn it. "
Zong Shou nodded his head and said seriously, "If Old Brother Hu can do it within three days. You managed to break all the Saber Moves that I sent into your consciousness. Naturally, your martial path can improve! If not, you won't be able to improve for the rest of your life. I only hope that Old Brother won't blame me then! "
Only then did Hu Zhongyuan feel that something wasn't right. He suddenly felt that the Zong Shou in front of him had transformed into a giant tiger and was roaring furiously.
He obviously knew that this was an illusion, but his heart couldn't help but tremble. He instinctively wanted to pull out his blade. His forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.
He was both shocked and terrified. This prince's martial path talent was actually so strong. The Tiger Roar that his father had only used once was actually learned with just one look.
He was even more worried about himself. If he couldn't break this blade strength within three days, wouldn't he be stuck at this realm for the rest of his life?
Then, he came to his senses. Since he cultivated the martial path, he should know the theory of martial cultivators being fearless. How could he not even have that bit of confidence? No matter how difficult it was, he had to try first.
Speaking of which, during these few years, he had lived like a prince in Gantian Mountain City and held huge power in his hands. His sharpness had slowly decreased …
Seeing Hu Zhongyuan focus, Zong Shou nodded his head in praise. Suddenly, there was a loud roar that shook the wilderness. In just a moment, a black lion charged out from the forest.
Zong Shou casually tossed a pill to it and let it consume it. Then, he took out the Black Wave Sword and started to display a set of sword techniques in front of the lion. It seemed illusionary yet not illusionary, hidden yet not hidden, like a mirage, like a blurry shadow.
He didn't find it annoying, patiently practicing it over and over again. Until this rising moon lion's eyes slowly became clear. It gave out a grateful lion roar before charging into the forest in the distance. Only then did it stop.
A smile instantly appeared on Zong Shou's face. From start to finish, he only used it seven times. This lion was indeed the intelligent type.
Now that he had arranged everything here, what was next was to solve his own problem.
Bringing some pills with him, Zong Shou also took out some dry rations and placed them into his bag. Then, he directly took over ten slightly larger wooden boards and made them into a wooden raft. He stepped on it and glided on the water surface.
However, just as he slid a thousand feet, he saw Chu Xue float out of the water with her body dripping wet. She shouted anxiously, "Young Master, there is a frost serpent in the water fairy lake, Young Master, come back quickly!"
Zong Shou turned his head and took a look, but he didn't stop. He casually waved his sleeves to tell her not to worry, and his body suddenly sped up. The wooden raft under his feet also brought out a line of water as he sped towards the depths of the lake.
In just a blink of an eye, he left Chu Xue behind.
He thought to himself that if the two behind him knew that the place he was heading towards was close to where the frost serpent was sleeping, they would probably be so anxious that they would jump up and down.
The area of the water fairy lake was huge, spanning two thousand miles from north to south. Within it, there were thousands of islands and reefs of different sizes, densely packed within. The big ones were tens of miles, while the small ones were less than a hundred feet.
Zong Shou followed his memory and used his true qi to control the wooden raft to glide in the lake.
However, the water fairy lake ten thousand years ago was different from ten thousand years later. Some of them had already disappeared in the future. Some of the muddy sand islands had not formed yet.
Zong Shou searched for a long time in the lake before his eyes lit up. Then, he pretended to search for tens of larger islands in the lake before stepping on the wooden raft and directly charging onto one of them. It was a green island that was shaped like a giant axe.
This place had a radius of seven miles and was densely packed with bamboo forests. Zong Shou wasn't interested in admiring it. His body was like lightning as he charged into the bamboo forest.
In the next moment, a wide pool appeared in front of Zong Shou. The water of the pool was deep black, like ink. However, if one walked to the side of the pool and held it up to take a closer look. One would realize that the pool was actually extremely clear. When placed in one's mouth, it would taste even sweeter and more delicious.
Everything was exactly the same as what he remembered. However, at this moment, the temperature of the spring water was slightly cold.
Zong Shou didn't find it strange. At this moment, the frost serpent hadn't turned into a dragon and left. He guessed that the island tens of miles away was still frozen. (To be continued.
