Early in the morning, when she woke up, there were traces of moisture in the air. In the cave, Shu Ruanyu was leaning against the mountain wall, her beautiful eyes closed and her hands covering her body.
Although Qin Wentian had released her restraints yesterday, allowing her to cultivate, as long as she was in the cave, she would still be restricted.
"Drip, drip!" A crisp sound rang out. Shu Ruanyu opened her tired eyes and glanced at the cave, there was no one else in sight.
"Mhm?" Shu Ruanyu instantly stood up and walked out of the cave. There was no one outside, only the water droplets falling from the trees could be heard.
"I'm leaving." Shu Ruanyu let out a long sigh. Finally, she didn't need to worry about that damnable fatty anymore. But in the past few days, Qin Wentian had kept his promise and didn't make things difficult for her.
"Qin Wentian, I will never forget you," Shu Ruanyu coldly stated. After which, her silhouette flickered as she soared up into the air.
Qin Wentian had long since left. He had released Shu Ruanyu because of Bailu Jing and Bailu Yi. What happened that day, was all because of him. Capturing Shu Ruanyu and threatening her had nothing to do with Bailu Jing. As long as Shu Ruanyu was safe, Yang Fan wouldn't vent his anger on Bailu Jing. After all, the White Deer Institute still had some status in the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent. Although it couldn't be compared to the Star-Seizing Manor, the Star-Seizing Manor wouldn't offend the White Deer Institute for no reason.
And now, Qin Wentian was extremely cautious. Since he had released Shu Ruanyu, there was no way he would stay here any longer.
… …
Qiyun was a country that bordered the Azure Continent, and was under the jurisdiction of the Azure Continent. Qiyun was a subsidiary power of the transcendent power, the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, similar to the relationship between the Nine Mystical Palace and Chu.
Although the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan was a transcendent power, if they wanted to continue to stand tall in the Nine Continents, they naturally had to be exaggerated. Just relying on the bloodline of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan wasn't enough. In Grand Xia, all transcendent powers would constantly recruit new blood, and the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan was no exception.
Outside of the Royal Capital of Qiyun, there was a famous mountain, the Gazing-Dragon Mountain. It was one of the most famous mountain ranges in Qiyun.
The reason why the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Range was so famous was because of the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart. The Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart was incomparably wondrous, and one could comprehend innate techniques from it. It was rumored that the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns of Qiyun had left this treasure for the cultivators of Qiyun.
For a small country, stepping into the Heaven Dipper Realm meant that they had reached a certain level. It was impossible for them to stay there for long, and they would leave. Among them, there were some who were reluctant to leave their homeland and were willing to leave behind some things for their descendants. After thousands of years, the Gazing Dragon Mountain Rampart was built.
The stone platforms on the ancient mountain in front of the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart seemed to have been flattened by Wu Xiu. Every day, many figures would come here to meditate on the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart, trying to obtain some of the divine abilities passed down by the ancestors.
At this moment, on one of the stone platforms, a young man with a burly physique was unceasingly brandishing the great axe in his hands. Every swing of the axe contained no Astral Energy, yet it was as if the wind was stirred up by it.
The skin of this burly young man was bronze in color, and the muscles on his body were extremely sturdy, as though he was filled with an explosive strength. However, he didn't seem to be too old, and was definitely no older than twenty-five years of age. What was even more interesting was that this young man had already been brandishing the great axe for a total of seven days without stopping. It was as though he didn't care about how others viewed him.
"How much do you guys guess the weight of this great axe?" Someone on one of the stone platforms asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's at least 250 jin. This man has nothing but brute strength." Another person on another stone platform replied.
"His axe technique seems to be getting heavier and heavier, yet he doesn't seem tired at all. How strange."
"There are so many strange people. Over there, isn't there someone who sleeps all day long? Have you guys ever seen him not sleeping?" At this moment, someone pointed to a stone platform not far away from the burly young man. There was a young man quietly lying there, as though the wind and rain of the outside world had nothing to do with him.
"Both of them are idiots."
The day before yesterday, there was a heavy downpour, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. This burly young man didn't seem to notice and continued swinging his great axe. That person was even sleeping there. How strange.
But what was even more strange was that beside that person, there was an extremely beautiful snow-white puppy quietly lying there. It would occasionally get up and move around, looking extremely adorable.
"Little Rascal, come here." At this moment, a young girl with a pure and innocent appearance called out to the snow-white puppy.
The body of the snow-white puppy flickered and instantly leapt into the arms of the young girl, causing the young girl to giggle. She hugged the puppy in her arms and gently stroked it with her tiny hands.
Little Rascal seemed to be enjoying it very much, causing many to cast envious and jealous gazes at him.
"Your master is truly lazy, he doesn't even care if you are hungry or not?" The young girl glanced in the direction of Qin Wentian. These days, she had become very familiar with Little Rascal and would often come over to hug it. However, its master had always been sleeping there.
"Ye Xi, you're here." Not far away, a slightly plump silhouette walked over. The young girl glanced at him and smiled, "What are you doing here again?"
"I'm the brother of that little fellow's master." Fan Le smiled. However, the young girl snorted and asked Little Rascal, "Is he?"
"Little Rascal, come here." Fatty called out to Little Rascal. Little Rascal's head popped out and glanced at Fan Le. After which, it acted as though it didn't recognize Fan Le and dove back into Ye Xi's embrace.
"Did you see that?" Ye Xi glared at Fan Le, causing Fatty to roll his eyes. What an ingrate.
Fan Le sat down, bored. He glanced at the sleeping Qin Wentian and the hatchet-wielding Chu Mang. They had already been in Qiyun for quite some time, and their destination this time around was naturally the Azure Continent. However, Qin Wentian wanted to raise his strength before entering the Azure Continent. After cultivating for a period of time, he found out that this was the Hopeful Dragon Mountain Rampart.
At this moment, the sleeping Qin Wentian suddenly sat up. Little Rascal's snow-white body instantly transformed into a beam of white light as it dashed into Qin Wentian's embrace. Little Rascal's little paws unceasingly scratched at Qin Wentian's body, appearing exceptionally intimate.
"Boss, you're finally awake." Fan Le's eyes brightened as he turned to Qin Wentian, "Boss, this is Ye Xi, my friend. She's quite close to Little Rascal, but this little fellow actually doesn't recognize me. How detestable."
"Who are you talking to?" Qin Wentian couldn't recognize Fatty at all … Glancing at Ye Xi, he couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart.
Fatty was truly a man of universal love.
"You win." Fan Le was completely speechless.
"How rare, the Sleeping God actually woke up." Someone exclaimed in astonishment.
"This fellow really knows how to sleep."
"Sleeping God, are you here to cultivate or to sleep?"
"Sleeping God?" A smile curled up the corners of Qin Wentian's lips curled up in a speechless smile. During this period of time, he hadn't stopped cultivating at all.
After the great battle back then, his three Yuanfu had been emptied, and he was also heavily injured. After recovering from his injuries, he once again absorbed the Astral Energy in his body, filling his Yuanfu pool to the brim. To his surprise, his Yuanfu pool had actually expanded a little. Hence, he continued cultivating bitterly for a period of time, yet he still wasn't able to break through.
It wasn't until he arrived at the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart, that he actually broke through to the fifth level of Yuanfu in a single day. How marvelous.
"Fatty, this rampart of the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart is extremely marvelous. The innate techniques contained within are as numerous as the stars in the sky, allowing one to comprehend them." Qin Wentian spoke to Fan Le, wanting to persuade him to cultivate more.
"Don't worry, I can still comprehend this rampart." Fatty grinned. "Look, even Bro Mang can comprehend it, let alone a genius like me."
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze onto Chu Mang. At first glance, Chu Mang's axe technique seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was a marvelous intricacies hidden within.
"It's that axe technique." Qin Wentian's eyes brightened. There was an extremely marvelous axe technique within the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart. Although it looked chaotic, it contained a majestic aura that allowed one to circulate the Arterial Pathways within one's body in sync with the axe technique.
"He's also your friend?" Ye Xi's beautiful eyes flashed. Qin Wentian nodded his head.
"A bunch of weirdos." Ye Xi's lips twitched. However, someone at the side laughed, "What a shameless boastful fellow. Could it be that the God of Sleep can comprehend the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart in his sleep?"
Qin Wentian swept his gaze over the crowd. The majority of the people here were at the Yuanfu Realm, and there weren't many who were at the upper third level of Yuanfu. Occasionally, there would be a few who were at the Arterial Circulation Realm.
Casually smiling, Qin Wentian didn't argue with them, and continued his cultivation in peace.
In the blink of an eye, winter arrived. The rain and snow became ordinary, and occasionally, the howling of the cold wind could be heard. The number of Wu Xiu on the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart gradually decreased.
Snowflakes danced in the air. Qin Wentian stretched out his hand, and a snowflake landed on his palm, melting away. Inclining his head, he stared at the sky. Amidst the snowflakes, that beautiful silhouette once again appeared.
Another year had passed, was Qingcheng doing well in the Pill Emperor Hall?
In Chu, his father, Sister Qin Yao, Teacher Mustang, Senior Sister Luo Huan, were they doing well?
It was almost time for the annual memorial ceremony in Chu, and the Chu Country should be bustling with activity. And now, he was already nineteen years old. These three years felt like a very long time had passed, and he had experienced many things.
"The weather is cold, let's eat some hot snacks." Not far away, a young lady walked over with a bamboo basket filled with steaming hot snacks. Seeing the faint longing in Qin Wentian's eyes, she smiled, "Wentian Ge, are you thinking of the girl you like?"
Qin Wentian gazed at the innocent smile on the young lady's face as he stretched out his hands and tousled her hair. During these few days, he and Ye Xi had become much closer.
"There's delicious food again." Fatty walked over as he grinned. Although Wu Xiu didn't need to eat, it was a wonderful thing to be able to satisfy his appetite occasionally.
The three of them sat on the stone platform, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
At this moment, a beam of white light flashed past. Qin Wentian shifted his gaze over, only to see Chu Mang brandishing his great axe. Instantly, the snowflakes drifting down from the sky converged into a snow dragon that danced in the air.
"How beautiful." Ye Xi's beautiful eyes flickered.
Qin Wentian's eyes also brightened as a smile appeared on his face. Chu Mang had broken through!
"This snow is really good." Qin Wentian smiled. Right now, their strength had all improved!
