It was daytime in the Snake Mountain Cave. Although the cave was dark, Mu Wang and the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal could see everything clearly with their eyesight.
"Senior, Brother Mu, look." Teng Qingshan walked to the corner and removed the two miscellaneous stones on the surface, revealing the Dreamy Cloud Fruit Tree underneath. The entire fruit tree seemed to be carved out of jade, and its entire body glowed with a faint green light. The fruit hanging on the tree was in the shape of an infant.
The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal and Mu Wang's eyes lit up!
This green-skinned fruit was one of the three great spiritual treasures of Duanmu Continent — Dreamy Cloud White Fruit!
"It's really it!" The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal revealed a joyful expression.
Mu Wang also exclaimed, "Legend has it that the Dreamy Cloud White Fruit is in the shape of an infant. I have lived for so long, but this is the first time I've seen the Dreamy Cloud White Fruit. It's really magical!"
"Yes." The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal smiled, "Looking at the size of this Dreamy Cloud White Fruit, it will take at least two to three months to a year and a half to fully ripen. Tsk tsk … Amazing. It actually grew in the crack of the mountain. The Violet Coral Serpent even used a stone to hide it. It was really well hidden. "
The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal turned to look at Teng Qingshan and said, "Qingshan, your luck is really good. This cave must be pitch-black in the middle of the night, and this fruit is completely hidden. Under such circumstances, even I would have a hard time discovering it."
"Luck." Teng Qingshan smiled.
"Haha." The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal laughed happily and said, "Qingshan, I will keep my word. You helped me find this Dreamy Cloud White Fruit … Yes, after I cure Yunji, I will give you the remaining Dreamy Cloud White Fruit. You can use it to cure your father's legs. Now … Mu Wang, stay here and guard for one day. Now … Mu Wang, stay here and guard this place for a day. After that, you don't need to stay here anymore. I will guard this place for a long time. "
"Teacher, let me stay here and guard." Mu Wang hastily said.
"I have something for you to do in a few days."
The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal turned to look at Teng Qingshan and said, "Qingshan, let's go back to the ancient city."
Teng Qingshan couldn't help but be overjoyed. Thinking about the six stone inscriptions he was about to obtain, no matter how good his mental state was, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Six stone inscriptions … were enough to allow his strength to rise by a large step! He might even step into the Emptiness Realm! In the distant Nine States, there were his parents and relatives that he cared about.
Even in his dreams, Teng Qingshan wanted to reach the Emptiness Realm so that he could return to the Land of the Nine Prefectures!
It would only be useful when he reached the Emptiness Realm and returned to the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
*****
Teng Qingshan and the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal rode on the Whole Gale Eagle and flew back to the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City.
In a quiet living room in the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City, there was a table filled with all kinds of delicacies. There were also large plates of barbecued meat.
"Qingshan, stay here for a while. I'll go get the stone inscription. When you're almost done eating, I'll be back with it." The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal smiled as he carried his wolf-headed broadsword and left the parlor, leaving behind Teng Qingshan and the Whole Gale Eagle.
Teng Qingshan and the Whole Gale Eagle only ate some simple barbecued meat in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland for the past nineteen days.
"Tsk, tsk."
Teng Qingshan drank wine and ate. The Whole Gale Eagle, who was at the side, also swallowed one piece of barbecued meat after another. These barbecued meat were meticulously prepared by the chefs of the Rising Sun City. The taste was much better than the barbecued meat that Teng Qingshan casually made.
After almost an hour, Teng Qingshan heard footsteps.
The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal walked in while carrying a big black metal box with one arm. He glanced at the table and saw that most of the plates were empty. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Haha, Qingshan, you can really eat a lot. Your bird-type demonic beast is the same. These ten plates of barbecued meat have all been eaten. "
"Senior." Teng Qingshan hastily stood up, but his eyes were fixed on the big black metal box.
There were some patterns on the surface of the metal box, and there was a big reddish-brown lock. The lock had faint traces of dirt. It was obvious that this metal box had been here for a very long time.
"These are the stone inscriptions of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 that you wanted. There are a total of six in here." As the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal spoke, he casually threw the box on the ground.
"Clang!"
The metal box landed on the floor of the living room and shook twice. Sounds of collision could be heard from the inside of the metal box.
"Crack!" The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal stretched out his hand and grabbed the lock. With a push, the lock cracked open. He then lifted the lid of the box, revealing the contents inside.
Teng Qingshan's eyes brightened as he looked carefully.
Many stone inscriptions were stacked in the box. Each stone inscription was rectangular. On the left was the diagram of the axe art, and on the right was the word 'Dao'. The stone inscriptions of the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms were crystal clear, like jadeite. A faint azure glow circulated around the stone inscriptions, making them seem extraordinary.
"With these six pieces, I can take another big step forward!" Teng Qingshan's heart was burning with excitement.
The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal smiled as he looked at Teng Qingshan and observed Teng Qingshan's expression.
"Qingshan … you cultivate spear arts. Why do you value the stone inscriptions of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 so much? Although these stone inscriptions were personally inscribed by the Godly Axe Deity, Yu the Great, if you want to comprehend Dao from them and reach the Emptiness Realm, it is not easy. " This is not a simple matter, "the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said.
Since ancient times, many people had obtained the stone inscriptions. However, very few had reached the Emptiness Realm by relying on the stone inscriptions.
In the past, the Godly Axe Mountain had thirty-six stone inscriptions. But what happened in the end? The Godly Axe Mountain had thirty-six stone inscriptions, but what happened in the end?
"Senior, the stone inscriptions of the 《Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms》 are very beneficial to me." Teng Qingshan did not explain further.
"Yes. From today onwards, I will lend these six stone inscriptions to you, Teng Qingshan." The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal stared at Teng Qingshan and said, "Qingshan, I don't need to explain how precious these six stone inscriptions are. It is not a problem to lend them to you for a few years. However, after a few years, you must return these six stone inscriptions to the Mu Clan. If they are lost … "
"Senior, don't worry."
Teng Qingshan looked at the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal and said, "These six stone inscriptions will not be lost in my hands."
"Good. It's good to hear you say that." The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal nodded with a smile and joked, "If they are really lost, I will let you kill your way to the great clans and snatch their stone inscriptions. If you are unwilling to snatch them, I will use you to repay the debt. Haha … the Mu Clan will make a profit. "
Teng Qingshan smiled as he closed the iron box's lid. He pinched the lock and locked the lid.
"Senior, since the matter has been settled, I will not stay any longer." Teng Qingshan carried the iron box on his back.
"Yes. When the Dreamy Cloud White Fruit ripens, I will order someone to bring you here. When the time comes, I will let you watch from the side when I heal Yun Ji, "the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said.
Teng Qingshan could not help but admire the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal.
Letting Teng Qingshan watch from the side … In this way, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal would not be greedy for the Dreamy Cloud White Fruit.
"Then I will wait for Senior's summon," Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
After bidding farewell to the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, Teng Qingshan left the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City on the back of the Whole Gale Eagle and flew toward the Godly Axe Mountain of the Nanshan Region.
*****
When the Whole Gale Eagle arrived at the mountain range of the Godly Axe Mountain, the sun had already set in the west, illuminating the western horizon in a bright red color.
Teng Qingshan sat on the back of the Whole Gale Eagle and flew high in the sky with the iron box in front of him.
Touching the iron box, Teng Qingshan's thoughts drifted.
"Six stone inscriptions!"
"With these six stone inscriptions, reaching the Emptiness Realm in just two to three years, or at most, four to five years is definitely not a problem." Teng Qingshan was full of confidence. Actually, as he cultivated and his understanding of Dao increased, Teng Qingshan could faintly feel that … he would be able to communicate with the Heavens and the Earth and have the boundless True Origin.
"Father, Mother, wait for me."
Teng Qingshan's heart was filled with joy.
The Whole Gale Eagle had already flown to the sky above the forest north of the Godly Axe Mountain. With a glance, Teng Qingshan saw the weak figure squatting by the Crescent Moon Lake.
… …
"It's the nineteenth day. It's been the nineteenth day since Big Brother Teng went to the West Tang Region." Li Jun squatted by the lake. A hole had been punched in the thick ice in front of her, and she could clearly see the icy water below.
"I wonder when Big Brother Teng will come back."
Li Jun's heart was filled with worry.
Although Teng Qingshan had gone into closed-door cultivation for several months on the Bright Moon Island, she had been by his side at that time.
And now ….. Teng Qingshan had gone to the West Tang Region without giving her an accurate time. Because of this, Li Jun stayed by the lake every day, occasionally looking at the distant sky. She waited ….. for Teng Qingshan to fly back on the Whole Gale Eagle.
Without an accurate time, she waited day after day …..
Day after day, she silently returned to her room.
… …
Teng Qingshan gently grabbed the neck of the Whole Gale Eagle and exerted a bit of force. The Whole Gale Eagle immediately understood Teng Qingshan's meaning — — Don't dive down for now. During this period of time, the Whole Gale Eagle had been with Teng Qingshan, so it still understood some of the simple meanings of Teng Qingshan's actions.
"Little Jun, she ….."
Looking at the delicate figure below from high up in the sky, Teng Qingshan's heart stirred.
"Am I being too cruel to her?" Teng Qingshan looked down silently.
Teng Qingshan was not a hothead, nor was he ignorant of the ways of the world. Whether it was his previous life or his current life, Teng Qingshan was very accurate in guessing the thoughts of others … … Back when he saved Li Jun for the first time, Teng Qingshan already felt this delicate lady's attachment to him.
Especially this time, Li Jun followed him across the North Sea without hesitation and came to Duanmu Continent. Her feelings were even more obvious.
A person's heart changes slowly.
For more than a year, Li Jun had accompanied him on the sea, preparing meals and taking care of him. She would occasionally joke with him so that the sea journey wouldn't be too lonely.
Along the way …..
The lofty Goddess of the God of Heaven Mountain, who was served by a large group of maids, was now willing to wash clothes and cook for him.
If he wanted to cultivate in seclusion, Li Jun wouldn't complain.
If he wanted to stay by the Crescent Moon Lake, Li Jun would listen to Teng Qingshan.
If he went to the West Tang Region, Li Jun would wait silently …..
"Little Jun … …" Teng Qingshan could feel her concern. Actually, because Li Jun looked exactly like his wife, Kitten, in his previous life, Teng Qingshan would sometimes feel moved when he saw Li Jun. Sometimes, he would have special feelings for her. The two of them had been together for more than a year and were already used to it.
"If I continue like this, I will be too cruel to her.
"In the hearts of my parents, the concept of 'there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no descendants is the worst.' Back then, they wanted me to marry her. "
"When I reach the Emptiness Realm and return, if she still insists, I will marry her." Teng Qingshan made up his mind.
Immediately, Teng Qingshan patted the Whole Gale Eagle lightly.
"Screech ~ ~" The Whole Gale Eagle screeched loudly and dived down.
Li Jun, who was letting her imagination run wild by the lake, heard the sound and raised her head in surprise.
"Big Brother Teng!"
