There were countless swordsmen in the Cultivation world in Chaotian, but only a few people were close to the sky.
They were Taiping and Jingyang, Liu Ci and Cao Yuan, Nan Qü and Jian Xilai, and the Cultivation couple of Zhongzhou School.
Among these people, Bai Zhenren was the most interesting one; it was because she was the least interesting one.
Nobody had seen her true appearance after being shrouded in the clouds and fog for hundreds of years; but it was strange that she didn't give off any sense of mystery. Everybody knew what she intended to do, which was to compete with Aoyama. However, no matter how hard she tried, the Zhongzhou School couldn't surpass the Aoyama Sect over the years when she was in charge of the Cloud-Dream Mountain, especially in the last one hundred years. The school had been manipulated by those two brothers and had suffered many setbacks. Her personal disciple Tong Yan and her daughter Bai Zao had helped her regain some face at the Battle of the West Ocean. However, Tong Yan had betrayed her, and Bai Zao had been sent to the Abyss of Deep Sleep by her …
Coincidentally, her name was Bai Yuan.
Nobody in the Cultivation world called her by this name, even if it was in their minds. It was because they were afraid of her, but more often than not, they thought she didn't deserve this name.
For such an important figure with a high Cultivation state and great power, who thought she had planned everything but achieved nothing, this name was more like a joke.
That day, Jing Jiu had employed many unique methods and joined hands with the Immortal Tan to break the patch of clouds and fog.
Everybody thought they had seen her weak and useless face; but when the clouds and fog dispersed, they found that she was not in Aoyama, but on the distant Cold Mountain.
The gentle wind tousled her black hair and shone on her real face.
She had delicate features, but she looked ordinary.
Yet, her eyes had a lively glow in the fog, making her look young and lively.
She looked like the first dewdrop in the morning, and like a young girl who had just run away from home.
There was no sense of defeat in her eyes, nor was there any sadness or anger. There was only calmness, satisfaction, and a faint joy.
The death of the Fairy Lady Bai Ren and the betrayal of the Immortal Tan didn't leave any trace, as if the former was not her biological grandmother and the Ocean-Stabilizing Godly Pillar of Zhongzhou School, and the latter was not her partner of hundreds of years, but rather strangers.
She withdrew her gaze from the starry sky and looked at the crack in front of her. She sighed and said, "If you, Liu Ci, were still alive, today would be so interesting."
This hundreds of miles long, bottomless crack was created by Liu Ci with the All in One Sword over a hundred years ago.
If Liu Ci were still alive, how would he choose when Jing Jiu and Taiping Zhenren fought for the Inherited Heaven Sword today?
This was indeed an interesting hypothesis.
The Immortal Bai leapt down the cliff. The strong wind made the mud and rocks on the cliff walls rustle down, and countless underground fires sputtered out, but none of them could stain her dress.
Neither the hard rocks nor the high-temperature lava could stop her; they all parted when she encountered the wind.
She kept descending to the bottom of the cave. After passing through many rock layers, she had finally reached the deepest part of the cave.
The starlight had disappeared a long time ago, but the surroundings were not dark, but rather red and warm. It was the reflection of the lava in the sky above the huge cave.
A dark-red river of lava was flowing slowly toward the distance. Once in a while, the rocks would fall down from the sky above the cave, creating a bright flame.
Bai Zhenren's body suddenly turned illusionary as she followed the river of lava. A few moments later, she arrived at the end of the river.
The river of lava collided with the huge transparent wall, giving off a deep rumbling sound, and then rolled back.
Drifting in the sky, she looked at the Abyss and the Underworld on the other side of the transparent wall. It was unclear if she had seen the terrible situation on the banks of the Underworld River and the large Buddha.
The hot lava rolled up and split apart with the crashing sound of the waves. The King of Fire Carps emerged from the lava. He was taken aback at first, but soon felt delighted.
"Is it the Immortal? Is it you? "
Bai Zhenren withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Elder Fire, long time no see."
The King of Fire Carps flapped its tail excitedly, splashing countless lava and making sizzling sounds on the cliff. "Great! Finally, someone came to talk to me. You have no idea how hard it has been for me all these years! First, I was bullied by a broken banner, and then by a bad bird! I have no one to talk to, how depressing … "
Bai Zhenren didn't say anything. He just looked at it in Silence.
The voice of the King of Fire Carps became lower and lower. He sighed and said, "I also sensed the departure of the fairy. Don't be too sad. The Aoyama Sect is so shameless that they even dared to use the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom. It's not cowardly to temporarily avoid the attack … Just hide here with me. I don't believe anyone can find this place … Uh … I'm not afraid even if the bird comes again! I'll be an adult in a few days! After the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom ascends, I won't be afraid of anyone! "
Bai Zhenren said, "I haven't talked to you for many years, but you've become quite talkative."
The King of Fire Carps suddenly felt strange and asked, "Immortal, you … really don't seem sad?"
The Immortal Bai said, "After the Fairy Lady died, she returned all of her fairy energy to heaven and earth. As a result, the barrier is strengthened again, and the human race has gained many more years of time. This is a good thing; why should we feel sad about it?"
The King of Fire Carps opened his round mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say.
Bai Zhenren raised his right hand and pointed at the transparent giant wall.
An indescribable aura came out from her sleeve and fell on the transparent giant wall.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Zhongzhou School defeated the Underworld Army at the bottom of the Gathered-Soul Valley. They mobilized all the sects in the north to set up an extremely powerful prohibition here, blocking this passage.
This transparent giant wall was extremely firm. Even though Jing Jiu used the sharpness of the All in One Sword and mobilized all his power, he could only pierce a small spot on it and send a mosquito to the Underworld.
Today, when the transparent giant wall met the aura from Bai Zhenren's sleeve, it was like ice and snow meeting fire. It melted instantly, and a crack appeared on it.
Since it was the prohibition of the Zhongzhou School, the Zhongzhou School must have a way to remove it. And it was obvious that the Bai family had always known about this method.
The King of Fire Carps opened his mouth wider, showing his great fear and confusion.
"What's going on?"
Bai Zhenren didn't pay attention to him, and continued to remove the prohibition.
The melting of the transparent giant wall couldn't be seen by naked eyes, but the lava river could sense the disappearance of the screen. It kept flowing toward the other side through the crack, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
Countless lava lit up the dark and gloomy void, heading toward the abyss. It was unknown how long it would take to reach the Underworld in the distance.
The King of Fire Carps screamed in fear, "Bai Yuan, are you crazy? What the hell are you doing? "
Bai Zhenren said with a smile, "Take a guess?"
Seeing the smile on her face, the King of Fire Carps suddenly felt a chill.
Even in the incomparably hot magma, he still felt very cold.
Feeling extremely terrified, the King of Fire Carps turned its tail and drilled into the deepest part of the lava, trying to escape.
But like the transparent giant wall, it was under the prohibition of the Zhongzhou School, so it couldn't get rid of the control of the Zhongzhou School.
A throbbing from the deepest part of its spirit forced it to turn around, passing through the transparent giant wall and heading toward the abyss along with the rolling lava!
The King of Fire Carps screamed in anger, desperation, and humiliation.
The next moment, its screams stopped abruptly, because Bai Zhenren had landed on its back.
The lava spread out in the abyss like sparks.
Bai Zhenren rode the King of Fire Carps into the Underworld.
…
…
(The purpose of cultivation is longevity and beauty? If I could draw the picture of Bai Zhenren riding the King of Fire Carps into the Underworld, how beautiful it would be. Just like when I wrote Coming Night, I wanted to draw the back of the mountain of the Academy, and I wanted to draw the picture of Sangsang pouring the water from the dishes. Besides the first two, I can also see more amazing things when I live longer. For example, when I heard that the real murderer was caught, I felt my scalp tingle. May we all live a long life!)
