Chapter 127 - Above the Peak of the Mountain (1)

After snatching the Old Man's storage ring, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang hid in a remote area. Here, he wanted to check what kind of harvest the Old Man had obtained from the storage ring, but what was embarrassing was that the storage ring had only fifteen million spirit essence pills inside, so the Old Man had already sold everything in order to buy the Bodhi's mass.

"Sigh, there's no treasure here, how poor." He held the storage ring in his hand and shook it a few times. His face was full of frustration, but he didn't get anything from the storage ring.

"Forget it, let's just look at the Bodhi's mass." Letting out a sigh, Xia Xuan took out the Bodhi's mass from his storage ring. Looking at the Bodhi's mass in his hand, Xia Xuan suddenly threw it on the ground and sat on it.

The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy converged towards Xia Xuan unceasingly, but they did not see any hint of improvement in Xia Xuan's Qi, but Xia Xuan's Qi was getting more and more concentrated.

A Qi Cultivator's training was like building a house, the more solid the foundation, the more one's cultivation would be. It was because the hawk-nosed Old Man's foundation was not strong enough, that they had stayed in the Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor for dozens of years without being able to break through, if they could obtain Bodhi's mass, they would definitely be able to quickly break through, and the breakthrough in their cultivation would bring about an increase in their lifespan, which was why the Old Man was trying so hard to obtain Bodhi's mass.

After cultivating for four hours, Xia Xuan slowly restrained his Qi, and spat out a mouthful of turbid Qi. Although his cultivation had not made a breakthrough, he felt that his entire body was brimming with energy, and the reason why people with higher cultivation could defeat people with lower cultivation was actually because after raising their cultivation, their spiritual energy's solidification level would also increase greatly. With the Bodhi's mass, he believed that the challenge of going beyond their cultivation level would not be a problem at all in the future.

After putting away the Bodhi's mass, Xia Xuan stretched his body lazily, and the sound of bones knocking against each other sounded out. When one looked at the summit of the mountain, one would be able to enter the wasteland as long as they climbed over the mountain. The real experiential learning was inside the wasteland.

"Big brother, how are we going to cross the mountain?" Seeing that Xia Xuan had finished cultivating, Yan Shuang slowly walked over to his side and asked.

There was a barrier around the Thousand Feet Mountain. Because most of the people that came from the outside possessed great treasures, some people from the Hundred Desolate Land would stop at the mountain peak. If they wanted to enter the Hundred Desolate Land, they would have to pay. Of course, if it was Yan Shuang who made the move, the space tunnel could be directly torn apart and the mountain would leap tens of thousands of feet high.

"Go straight ahead. If you rely too much on your strength, what's there to enjoy about it?" Xia Xuan took a deep breath and laughed.

He had to admit that the mountain was quite tall. It had taken him several hours to walk up the mountainside. The sun was already setting, and from a location halfway up the mountain, he could see the beautiful dusk.

In his previous life, he would often pull Flame Frost along to the back of the clan's mountain to enjoy the beautiful view of dusk. At that time, when they were tired, they would go back home and their mother would cook dinner, and their father would scold them for coming home too late.

"Big brother, it's time to go home and eat …" Flame Frost also stared blankly at the beautiful dusk. When the sun completely set, he said this out of instinct. However, when he finished speaking, he felt a sense of loneliness. As Deities, they had nearly a hundred million years of lifespan, but their parents only had a hundred years. Ten thousand years ago, their only family members were each other.

Xia Xuan reached out and rubbed Yan Shuang's head, looking at his gentle voice with a benevolent gaze, "Are you missing your parents?"

"Yes." Yan Shuang nodded slightly, lowering her head, not allowing Xia Xuan to see her face.

"I'll stay with you." Xia Xuan frowned, holding Yan Shuang in his arms, he kissed her forehead and said gently.

The night descended, but the mountain did not become deathly silent because of the night. Countless people rushed to the summit, and there was a row of people desperately trying to stop the crowd at the top of the mountain. However, under the endless onslaught of people, it was clear that they were on the verge of collapsing.

Just at this moment, a pillar of fire shot into the sky. In the midst of the flames, a faintly discernable figure could be seen; his aura was actually as strong as a third-grade Xuanzun.

The moment the fiery figure rushed up to the sky, he ruthlessly waved towards the crowd that was charging towards the mountain peak. A line of fire rushed towards the crowd, and some of the people that were slow to react were immediately set ablaze; they were unable to extinguish the fire no matter what they did.
