They were surrounded by a myriad of colors.
A sense of weightlessness washed over them.
However, this feeling only lasted for a few breaths.
Then, the scenery around them changed drastically. Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up.
This was an extremely bright world.
Fresh air blew in their faces. Rich vitality filled the entire world. It was magnificent and beautiful.
Because of the abundance of vitality, the plants around them grew exceptionally tall.
Old vines as thick as buckets coiled around ancient trees that were as thick as four to five people. Even the weeds and flowers were as tall as a person.
Compared to the dark and frightening Spirit Abyss, this place was like heaven on earth. It was a beautiful land.
"It really was a random teleportation," Lu Qingshan murmured.
All the plants around where they landed looked as if they were newly born. There were no signs of destruction.
However, Jiao Long, Jiao Yan, Xue Zhuyong, and Mo Yan had fallen into the Spirit Abyss not long ago. If it was a fixed teleportation, this place wouldn't be so clean.
The first problem he had to solve was to find Xue Zhuyong and Mo Yan.
Fortunately, Xue Zhuyong and Mo Yan were also holding hands when they fell into the Spirit Abyss. Logically speaking, they should have landed in the same place.
Lu Qingshan could only hope that he wasn't too far away from where Xue Zhuyong and Mo Yan had fallen.
He was currently halfway up a mountain.
"Let's go up and see what's going on here," Lu Qingshan said.
"Okay," Qin Yitian agreed.
.....
A few hours ago.
This was a world of fiery red lava. It looked like the end of the world.
The ground cracked, and the cracks were intertwined like earthworms, densely packed together.
Through these cracks, one could see the red lava flowing slowly within them.
Behind them was a huge volcanic crater that was constantly emitting gray smoke.
In this desolate land, there was a young man with flames all over his body lying on the ground. Beside him stood a middle-aged male cultivator.
It was Mo Yan and Xue Zhuyong.
On Mo Yan's body, the red and blue Heavenly Flames were clearly separated, each occupying half of his body.
The Red Lotus Heavenly Flame and the Ice Spirit Heavenly Flame fought each other with Mo Yan's body as the battlefield.
Xue Zhuyong stood at the side, his expression extremely unsightly.
He had already released his Divine Sense to scan Mo Yan's entire body.
Mo Yan's situation was much worse than it looked. This was because not only the surface of his body, even his body was filled with the Cold Spirit Fire and the Red Lotus Fire.
Under the burning of the two types of Heavenly Flames, his meridians had already started to shrink, and the Spiritual Energy within his Dantian had also turned into nothingness under the high temperature of the two types of Heavenly Flames.
This was the aftereffect of hastily fusing the Heavenly Flame.
Even though Mo Yan had a Burning Body and had an incomparable affinity with Heavenly Flames, he was still unable to withstand the tyrannical power of two Heavenly Flames at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Therefore, in an instant, the two 'Heavenly Flames' had completely lost control.
As for Mo Yan, whose spiritual energy had been completely burned away, he no longer had the ability to control these two types of flames and make them stop fighting.
Because of the pain, Mo Yan's facial muscles kept twitching.
Xue Zhuyong's heart was burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.
This was because even though the two Heavenly Flames were fighting, because they came from the same source, Mo Yan's body, they had fallen into a strange equilibrium.
At this time, if there was an external force involved, it would break this equilibrium and cause the Heavenly Flames within Mo Yan's body to explode. Mo Yan would also be burned to ashes the instant the Heavenly Flames exploded.
Suddenly, Mo Yan's finger slightly trembled.
Xue Zhuyong, who had been paying attention to Mo Yan, felt his heart tremble.
After a few breaths, Mo Yan's tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
Xue Zhuyong's anxious face appeared in Mo Yan's eyes.
Mo Yan's gaze was somewhat confused as he asked with a complicated expression, "Senior … who are you?"
Xue Zhuyong was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer.
He understood very well that Mo Yan's question was naturally not about his name.
What Mo Yan was concerned about was his identity.
"Senior, you risked your life to barge into the Spirit Abyss to save me. You're willing to go to such lengths for me … My mother should be the only one in this world, but Senior just has to act like this … Cough …" Mo Yan panted in extreme discomfort before continuing, "Now that I'm in such a state, can Senior just treat this as my last wish and give me a definite answer?"
"I … want to know the truth."
Mo Yan's voice was extremely weak. He was like a dying lamp that could fall at any moment.
Facing Mo Yan's burning gaze, Xue Zhuyong's face turned green and white. After a while, he finally sighed and said softly, "Then I'll tell you a story, a story about me."
"I'm all ears," Mo Yan said calmly.
"Since I was very, very young, I never saw my father and lived with my mother," Mo Yan said as he looked at Mo Yan. A look of reminiscence appeared on Mo Yan's face. "In order to support me, my mother had to work very hard. During the day, she had to help out in the kitchen of the nearby restaurant in exchange for remuneration to support the family. However, she was worried about leaving me alone at home, so she brought me to the kitchen of the restaurant.
Because I didn't have a father and my mother was extremely beautiful, the men in the kitchen often teased my mother intentionally or unintentionally, while the women gossiped endlessly. They said in front of me that my mother stole a man and gave birth to me, that I was a bastard, and that was why I didn't have a mother.
"My mother knew about this, and she was very angry. However, for the meager payment, she could only silently endure it.
"At that time, I would often find my mother curled up in the corner of her bed, crying silently.
The insensible me blamed her in my heart because of the gossip and the ridicule of others. So, when I realized that she was crying, I pretended to be asleep and turned a deaf ear.
"Finally, one winter day, my mother, who had become thin due to exhaustion, did not go to the restaurant to help out in the kitchen.
She just sat by the bed, quietly. I don't know what she was thinking. After sitting for a long time, she reached out her trembling hand and held my hand. "Xue Zhuyong's face showed an extremely painful expression, and his voice began to choke." Her hand was very small, very rough, but very warm.
She stared at me, and her gaze was very complicated. There was longing, pain, and many other things that I could not understand.
After a long time, my mother suddenly told me that no matter what, I had to live well and live well. "
"Then, she gave me a few pieces of silver and told me to go out and buy something delicious."
"I did not think much about it, and took the silver and ran out of the room, running into the street.
But I never thought that that would be the last time I saw my mother. " Xue Zhuyong's face was already covered in tears, "At that time, what I hated the most was the way my mother would curl up in bed and cry silently. But now that I think about it, I really should have hugged her."
Xue Zhuyong looked at Mo Yan's lifeless face and said softly, "Later, I understood a principle. For your loved ones, when you still have the chance to hug them, don't be stingy with hugging them.
When you don't have the chance, what's the use of regretting it? "
"So, when I found out that I had a son," Xue Zhuyong's emotions gradually calmed down, and he spoke as if it had nothing to do with him, "Even if I had never been in contact with him, I didn't hesitate to save him even if it meant risking my life.
Because, I … did not want to regret it a second time. "
