Chapter 995 -903: Crossing Together with the Board
In the small mountain village, within the courtyard.
The cold wind was piercing, and when it blew, it felt bone-chilling.
The sound of Nan Feng’s music, influenced by the icy wind, held a chilling note that immersed one’s soul and momentarily made one forget the world.
“Awoo…”
Beside her feet, Celestial Wolf barely managed to keep her eyes closed, affected by the music, and couldn’t help but let out a low wolf howl.
On the other side, despite the cold weather and icy waters, Long Zixuan continued to play in the water, frolicking with the koi and blackfish as if he were asleep.
Dugu Yuqing made rapid progress in calligraphy, finally mastering the Magnificent Sword style.
Nan Feng, Long Zixuan, and Dugu Yuqing were the fastest to progress.
For they had all glimpsed the Ultimate Hall, and in a certain sense, they had surveyed the path ahead of them.
Thus, requiring little introspection or learning, their journey was smooth and natural.
But Zi Ling, Qing Chen, Lin Jiu Zheng, and Jiang Li made equally swift progress, all reaching Seventh Realm Completion.
“No, something’s not right… I should have been able to win this game of chess…”
On the other side, Yun Xi was playing against Li Fan, and this game had lasted quite a while, leaving Yun Xi puzzled.
Her research into the path of chess had deepened, and in recent days, she had conceived a gameplay that could revitalize the entire board, linking all in unity, turning the board into an army.
But, in her match against Li Fan, she was trapped.
“The idea is good, but it still needs improvement,”
Li Fan said with a slight smile,
“You want all the pieces on the board to become strong warriors, but remember, the situation on the board cannot change instantly. Consider dividing your pieces into nine paths, with nine energies flowing concurrently, to further advance.”
He guided her skillfully.
Actually, Yun Xi’s idea had slightly astonished him.
This method of moving across the board was ambitious and broad-minded. If successful, all pieces would come alive!
But, it was still somewhat naïve, with many flaws.
Li Fan did not rush to demonstrate this game for her but instead provided some thoughts for her to ponder on her own.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xi appeared thoughtful and replied,
“Transform one method into Nine Laws, one energy into nine… Indeed, this could better sustain the ‘all-pieces-move’ strategy!”
She couldn’t help but fall deep into thought.
It was in this instant, as numerous thoughts converged, that Li Fan’s guidance felt like clearing the clouds to see the sun. Inside her Spirit Platform, clarity prevailed.
In the vague distance, she seemed to see ten Divine Fires within her Spirit Platform, barely perceptible.
That was the next Realm of the Spirit Platform—Soul Awakening.
The Three Souls and Seven Spirits, nurtured within the Divine Fires of the Spirit Platform.
So-called Soul Awakening was about recognizing the whereabouts of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, elevating them from unconsciousness to consciousness.
The Three Souls and Seven Spirits were essential for cultivators to communicate with the Path-Scenic Land and to step onto the Ascendant Path.
Yun Xi touched the edge of Soul Awakening but had not yet fully entered it.
…
“Meow meow…”
At that moment, Xiao Bai stretched lazily on Li Fan’s lap, popping her head out from under a blanket and licking Li Fan’s hand with her tender red tongue.
The weather had turned cold, and Li Fan feared she might get cold, so he always covered her with a small blanket while she slept.
“Lazy cat.”
Li Fan rubbed Xiao Bai’s belly and stood up, saying:
“Lu Rang, bring the things, let’s go add an extra layer to the trees in the village.”
Recently, the weather had become colder, and it seemed it would not be long before it snowed.
Therefore, Li Fan had Lu Rang prepare many old blankets and cotton quilts to wrap around the village trees.
To prevent them from dying in the winter cold.
“Alright, Master.”
Lu Rang immediately hung two large baskets of old quilts on the Divine Ox, letting Little Gold Bull carry them, then led the Divine Ox and followed behind Li Fan.
Leaving the village, Li Fan walked while checking the condition of the trees.
Many mature trees had strong cold resistance and did not need wrapping, but the newly planted saplings did.
Under Li Fan’s direction, Lu Rang tied the old quilts around the trunks of the young trees with ropes.
The two continued along the village path, heading out.
…
At that moment,
in front of a small mountain village in Deadman Wilderness,
the group landed.
“Is this… the small village you mentioned?”
Seeing the small village before him, Demon Ancestor was shocked, his eyes filled with incredulity.
This place… was too terrifying.
It was all encompassed by an immense Forbidden aura, and just one glance made him feel an unsteady Dao heart, wanting to worship.
“How could such a place… exist in this realm…”
Blood Ancestor also muttered, saying,
“The true land of taboo, no wonder, no wonder even a blade of grass can reach the taboo level, a mere caterpillar can devour the powerful… The beings living here, every plant and tree, all are extraordinary!”
A glint of expectation and hope also flashed through his eyes!
He remembered what Jiang Xue had said about it soon being the New Year, that the village would slaughter pigs, and make blood tofu…
If he could manage to get a taste…
It would be worth his lifetime!
“The bones in this village… might be extraordinary.”
Instrument Ancestor also appeared very solemn, creatures born in such a place definitely contained the essence of taboo!
Could even forge… Forbidden Artifacts?
He was tempted, truly tempted; what need was there for dog bones anymore.
Seeing the small mountain village, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but reveal a long-missed smile, her eyes also shining with joy.
Although she hadn’t lived in the small village for too long, that period of time had made her regard it as the destination of her soul.
Even if the Yin Realm was shattered, she always believed that Senior Li and the small village would be safe, definitely able to cross the causality of Yin and Yang, and appear in the Yang Realm.
Now, at last, she saw it.
At this moment, Demon Fiend’s lips revealed a happy smile, but her eyes couldn’t help but be somewhat teary.
“Just as I imagined… the same.”
Her gaze fell on the village entrance, where a plum tree stood against the wind on the roadside, its leaves withering, yet it stood upright, as if it was guarding and looking out, never moving.
“There’s also a plum tree at the village entrance… it looks so much like the one I planted… After Big Brother left, I planted one too, because with a plum tree beside me, I always felt that Big Brother was still around…”
“Then I got busy fighting, and I don’t know if that tree is still alive…”
She said, smiling so sweetly.
“This is the place where Big Brother lived.”
Xinning took Demon Fiend’s hand, saying,
“The New Year is coming soon, the village is very lively, come on, let’s go see Big Brother.”
The group headed towards the small mountain village.
Even before they knew it, they had stepped into the village.
“Hmm?”
Xinning suddenly felt her hand empty. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Suddenly turning around, she saw that Demon Fiend had not followed.
She couldn’t see Demon Fiend’s figure.
“…Why?”
Xinning looked towards the village’s outskirts.
Demon Fiend… why didn’t she want to follow?
Big Black Dog, however, whispered,
“She doesn’t want to enter… She has passed away, you have been reborn…”
In fact, Big Black Dog saw clearly that Demon Fiend stayed not far outside of the village, hidden in the void, she looked at the small mountain village from afar with a smile on her face, yet unwilling to come here.
Xinning wanted to say something, but at that moment, a voice came from behind them:
“Da De, Xinning, have you returned?”
Upon hearing this, Xinning, Wu Dade, and the others immediately turned around.
Only to see on the village road, Li Fan coming slowly with a smile, followed by Lu Rang leading Little Gold Bull, stride for stride behind him.
