"It's truly astonishing. With a mere mortal body, you actually managed to cross the Endless Desert and arrive here. Young man, your perseverance and persistence truly amazes me. "
Seeing that Chu Rui had already surpassed his limit, yet he was still resisting the urge to faint and stubbornly crawl up from the ground, the old voice sounded. The gentle and aged voice was filled with astonishment.
Chu Rui, who was lying on the ground, raised his head with great difficulty. He used his chin to prop up the ground and forced his eyelids to remain open. He looked at the billowing sand and dust in the distance as a colossal creature emerged from the ground.
The combination of a tortoise and a snake!
That's right, it was Xuanwu!
When the dust settled, Chu Rui saw the true appearance of the colossal creature within. Even someone as determined as him had the urge to cry at this moment!
"Get up, child!"
As if sensing Chu Rui's current situation and seeing how unwilling he was to admit defeat, Xuanwu's voice became increasingly gentle. An earthy yellow light poured into Chu Rui's body. In an instant, Chu Rui felt that he had overdrawn a lot. His body, which had surpassed his limit, was recovering at an extremely fast speed.
When a person surpassed his limit and continuously surpassed it, he would become infinitely powerful. This was because he was constantly improving, breaking through his limits. Chu Rui valued this point. Furthermore, he was determined to find Xuanwu and had continuously walked through the Endless Desert of Death to reach his current state.
However, there was a limit to everything. Chu Rui's extreme craziness had caused great damage to his body. Fortunately, he had energy circulating around his body every day, as well as the energy of the Cherry Blossom Goddess and many precious nutrients. In the past few days, Chu Rui had only been in the Endless Desert for about an hour at most four times. The rest of the time was used to nourish his body. Because of this, nothing major had happened.
Under the nourishment of the Black Tortoise's energy, Rui discovered that not only was the improvement he gained from breaking through his limit several times greater than the benefits he gained from the nourishment, it also stimulated his potential even more. Not only that, but his body was also evolving rapidly. Meridians, bones, muscles … Everything in his body, including the tiniest of cells, was constantly growing stronger.
In a short period of time, Chu Rui seemed to have been reborn and evolved into a superhuman. He stood up and looked at the world around him. It was even more detailed, even more exquisite, and even more incredible. Vaguely, Chu Rui seemed to be able to see the invisible energy with his naked eyes.
"Thank you, Holy God of Xuanwu!"
Even though Chu Rui was very happy, his excitement was so obvious that he almost had the impulse to jump for joy. However, with his temperament and character, it was really difficult for him to do so. Even so, his mouth was still grinning from ear to ear. Chu Rui naturally did not forget Xuanwu, who had changed him so much. The first thing he did was to bow to him and thank him from the bottom of his heart.
"You don't have to thank me, child. You deserve it. On your body, I saw the Seal of Vengeance of many demon experts, as well as the aura of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger. They actually gave their energy and blessings to you. This shows that you have received their recognition. You were able to go beyond the Endless Desert, which is known as the Desert of Death. This shows that you are a true Nirvana Tribulation. You traveled thousands of miles and did not fear hardships to cross the vast Endless Desert. This is enough to prove your courage, determination, and strength. This noble one approves of your extraordinary perseverance! "
Xuanwu said so. His soft and warm voice made Chu Rui want to cry for some reason. This feeling was like the recognition of a sincere elder to a junior. It was extremely heartwarming.
"… There are many geniuses in this world, but most of them die young. Geniuses are always arrogant, and you are no exception. This can be seen from your refusal to lie on the ground just now. However, although arrogance is not very good, there is no harm in having a little. Moreover, what you have is more of a lofty character than an arrogant one. This Sovereign has seen many different things in you. These things are the most precious in this world, and the most difficult to have. Perhaps the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger told you that I am the easiest to talk to. However, this is not the case. Compared to the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger, my requirements are higher, more difficult, and more difficult to achieve. For so many years, there are not many people who can truly make me appreciate them. However, you are one of them. "
Xuanwu's words stunned Chu Rui. When he said that his requirements were more difficult than the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger, Chu Rui had a headache. The Endless Desert was already so difficult to cross, but that was only the second step. Xuanwu's test was only the third step. The second step was already so difficult, and the third step was even more so, causing one's chrysanthemum to tighten. However, when the Black Tortoise said that he admired him, he was shocked. Chu Rui could not help but be stunned.
Xuanwu appreciated him?
Was this a f * cking joke?
The corner of Chu Rui's mouth suddenly twitched, and he felt somewhat at a loss. The Black Tortoise was one of the Four Great Sacred Beasts. It was definitely an ultimate boss. He actually said that he appreciated him? Chu Rui suddenly felt a lot of pressure. However, more than that, he was somewhat confused. This was the first time he and Xuanwu had met. Did he admire him just like that? Could it be that he admired him for crossing the Endless Desert, or admired his stubborn and unyielding character?
That was impossible! If that could make Xuanwu appreciate him. Then in his long life, who knew where the sea of people he admired had gone. However, he clearly said that there were not many people he admired. This made Chu Rui a little confused. Even though he had always boasted that his IQ was not bad, compared to these real old monsters who had lived for N years, he was still far, far too far away! These existences were truly wise and resourceful.
"Even though I am the Northern Guardian Sacred Beast of the Four Great Sacred Beasts, I have always been entrenched in the Endless Desert and cannot go out. However, with my personality, apart from hibernation, I spend most of my time exploring the human world. Even though there are many people and many things that make me extremely dissatisfied and see the ugliness and despicableness of human nature. However, there are true feelings in the human world. Most people still have good intentions and do good deeds. This makes me very happy. The reason why I am called a Sacred Beast to protect the human world, apart from Taoist Hongjun's instructions and repaying the great god Pangu's kindness, is also because I like humans. "
