"Oh, this is the Blue River Region?"
Tetragon stood on the purple cloud and frowned slightly.
Wang Lu explained from the side, "Among the Nine Regions, the Blue River Region is located on the border. The population is not very dense, the resources are not very rich, and the surrounding spiritual energy is not very abundant. Moreover, this place used to be the battlefield of the great war of immortals and demons, so you can't see the flourishing of flowers … But then again, in the view of ancient people like you, compared with the prosperous day of the immortal path, I'm afraid Nine Regions is in ruins everywhere."
Tetragon shook her head in silence and then looked down at the ground under her feet. The girl's eyes were as deep as the unfathomable sea. Her eyes pierced through the layers of clouds and took a panoramic view of the common people.
Wang Lu stood beside Tetragon on his flying sword, but his eyes didn't look down. Instead, he stared at the girl's eyes, looking at the sky and earth reflected in her deep eyes. In a trance, Wang Lu seemed to have a slight sense of empathy with Tetragon and obtained the perspective of the Dixian King.
In her eyes, the hundreds of millions of creatures in the Blue River Region were like ants, and the rich spiritual veins were like thin snakes, within her reach. The vast land, the mountains and rivers were all under her control. Even the obviously elusive karma and time line showed some clues …
After a long time, Tetragon withdrew her gaze and let out a sigh of emotion.
"This is the Blue River Region …"
Wang Lu suddenly realized that Tetragon actually didn't care about the decline of the immortal path after the Age of Chaos, nor did she care about whether the Nine Regions was in ruins or prosperous. She just sighed with emotion that after her sixteen thousand years of sleep, the world had changed into mulberry fields.
The former Blue River Region must not be like this. At that time, there was no Spirit Sword Mountain, no Lingjian School, and no Great Ming Country's Host Palace. However, there was also the Immortal Cultivation World, and there were many cultivators who cultivated and lived there. And that was the Blue River Region that Tetragon was familiar with.
However, Tetragon didn't waste time on unnecessary sentimentality. The girl stopped in the air for a moment and then reached out to the west. The next moment, the layers of clouds opened, revealing a lonely and proud mountain shadow in the distant sky, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.
"Spirit Sword Mountain?"
Wang Lu nodded. The place that Tetragon pointed out was the place where the Feng Shui Line in the Blue River Region gathered the densest spiritual energy. There was no other choice other than Spirit Sword Mountain.
"Let's go. Take me there."
She said that she wanted Wang Lu to take her with him, but as soon as Tetragon's voice fell, he forcibly pulled Wang Lu's hand. The two of them flashed and crossed thousands of rivers and mountains. From the border of Blue River Region near Cloud Region, they came to the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain.
Dixian's movement technique was indeed impressive.
After landing, Tetragon was a little curious. "There's a town here?"
Wang Lu said, "Lingxi Town is the intersection point between Lingjian School and the mortal world …"
Tetragon interrupted, "Why do we have to interact with the mortal world? Isn't Lingjian School one of the five super sects? "
Wang Lu thought for a moment. According to the historical records, in ancient times, the Immortal Cultivation World flourished, but correspondingly, the gap between the Immortal Cultivation World and the mortal world was deeper than it was now. In that era, the Immortal Cultivation World and the mortal world were different.
In this regard, Wang Lu could only say, "The times have changed."
Tetragon frowned but didn't say anything. He just followed Wang Lu to walk on the town's path. Soon, his attention was attracted by this town that had the characteristics of both the Immortal Cultivation World and the mortal world.
From time to time, the girl stopped in front of a building and then fell into a long contemplation. No one knew what she was thinking about. Wang Lu was only responsible for accompanying her and then greeting those familiar but old faces in the town.
More than thirty years ago, in this town, an Immortal Gathering allowed him to set foot on the Immortal Cultivation World. More than thirty years later, he still remembered the series of puzzles at the town's gate … It was just that the old man who guarded the gate at that time had died of old age twenty years ago. On the day of his death, Wang Lu personally presided over a religious ceremony for him.
Now, the people guarding the gate were the grandchildren of the old man, two tall and strong young men. After seeing Wang Lu, they greeted him very enthusiastically, but there was a bit of philistinism in their enthusiasm — for mortals, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator was a supreme immortal, let alone Wang Lu?
Wang Lu didn't care about the thoughts of these mortals. The lifespan of cultivators was long, and their concept of time was also different. In the Immortal Cultivation World, more than thirty years passed in the blink of an eye, but in the mortal world, it was enough to separate two generations. Wang Lu also felt a bit sentimental in his heart. If it was like this in thirty years, what about sixteen thousand years? For Tetragon, this world was already completely unfamiliar. Among the people of her generation, only a hundred or so of her companions had survived — and a considerable number of them had been personally exiled by her.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu suddenly remembered a place. "I'll take you to taste the special delicacies here."
Thus, the two of them arrived at the Ru Family Inn.
More than thirty years had passed, and many things in the Spirit Creek Town had changed, except for this inn. The two wooden doors were half open, revealing a bit of bleakness and dilapidation. Wang Lu pushed the door open and entered. He saw the Lady Boss dozing off on the counter. The soft sound of her snoring was particularly clear in the quiet inn.
However, in a trance, a different scene appeared in front of Wang Lu's eyes: the inn was overcrowded with people. The relatives of the Emperor from all over the Nine Regions had gathered here, sharpening their swords for the Immortal Gathering, fighting and scheming against each other. And the hearty girl behind the counter was wild with joy at this rare flow of customers...
Taking a deep breath and restraining his thoughts, Wang Lu walked a few steps to the front of the counter. While putting down a large ingot of silver, he said, "Miss, wake up to receive the guest."
The next moment, the girl, who was still dozing off, threw a punch at him without thinking. Wang Lu laughed and stretched out his hand to receive the punch. As a result, with a muffled bang, his whole body flew back thirty feet. He somersaulted in mid-air before steadily landing on the ground.
Shaking his sore wrist, Wang Lu sighed. "Sure enough, it's easy to forget things after a long time. I didn't even remember that your iron fist can break all kinds of techniques."
"Humph, quickly move your face closer, I'll let you remember it more clearly … Speak, what are you doing here?"
The Lady Boss was obviously angry when she woke up, and spoke ill of the rare guest. However, when she saw the girl beside Wang Lu, she suddenly put on a business-like smile. "Dear guest, are you here to eat or to stay?"
Wang Lu sighed. "Changing your face like flipping a book in front of others isn't very good, is it? We're here to eat, just bring out your specialties. "
The Lady Boss agreed and ran to the kitchen with enthusiasm. After a while, she came back and said, "There's only white rice, salt, and well water left in the kitchen. Why don't I make saltwater rice for you?"
"… Back then, an inn with an average daily turnover of millions has been run to this state by you. You're quite capable."
"Humph, I'm happy to!"
The two of them bickered. Suddenly, Tetragon's gaze turned to the Lady Boss. "Nine-tailed celestial fox?"
The Lady Boss was startled. "You can see it? You have good eyesight. It's been many years since anyone could see the little fellow hidden in my body at a glance. But don't be afraid, the seal is tight, it can't jump out. "
Tetragon ignored her and turned to ask Wang Lu. "Why did the Lingjian School take in a nine-tailed celestial fox in such a close place? That's an evil beast that can't be tamed, the source of disaster. "
Wang Lu said, "Anyway, it's already sealed in her body, so it doesn't matter if it's a disaster or not. Also, look at this seal carrier. " As he said that, he pointed at the Lady Boss. "Young and beautiful, pleasing to the eye, versatile, and has an iron fist to break spells. It's better to keep it."
Being praised by Wang Lu as youthful and beautiful, the Lady Boss's cheeks flushed, but she tried to put on an unhappy look. She coldly snorted. "Boring." After a pause, she said, "I'm going to buy some vegetables."
Wang Lu smiled. "Sure, I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time."
However, Tetragon said coldly, "No need, I don't have the habit of sitting at the same table with a nine-tailed celestial fox."
The Lady Boss was stunned, and her expression became a little complicated. She wasn't angry, but more of a strange one.
As the seal carrier of the nine-tailed celestial fox, she had encountered some strange looks over the years, but such blatant discrimination and exclusion was really rare.
Even the cultivators of the Lingjian School, who were the most hurt by the nine-tailed celestial fox, were polite to her. In fact, as the seal carrier, she bore the risk of the nine-tailed celestial fox breaking out of the seal, and bore the side effect of being unable to cultivate. She should be the one who was owed, so what reason did she have to be discriminated against?
Seeing that the atmosphere in the shop quickly became awkward, Wang Lu sighed to Tetragon. "You want me to take you to visit the Lingjian School? No problem, but please show me the attitude of a spectator, and shut up when you shouldn't talk."
For this rude rebuke, Tetragon didn't care. The corner of his mouth slightly raised. "I really can't control the affairs of your sect, but the nine-tailed celestial fox has been an ominous sign since the Age of Desolation. You guys are on your own."
With that, she got up and left, heading toward the Spirit Sword Mountain. Wang Lu apologized to the Lady Boss and helplessly followed.
It was just that, after all, he was in a hurry, so he didn't notice that there was a trace of inexplicable haze on the face of the girl behind him.
