Chapter 76: Why did this take such a serious turn?
In the jungle somewhere in the Illusory Demon Realm, a beautiful woman was facing off against a tiger.
The woman was wearing a light blue robe. She had an extremely beautiful and exquisite face and a curvaceous body; her big breasts and wide hips could hardly be concealed by her wide robe.
Especially that ass, it can't be concealed by her robe.
Anyone will recognize who she is from her ass, much like how a certain woman could be identified just by her glasses.
She was Gong Yuxian, and in front of her was a winged blue tiger. The tiger was dozens of meters high, its body surrounded by flashes of blue lightning.
"Roaar!"
The tiger crouched and, with a roar, pounced on her. At the same time, the blue lightning surrounding it shot toward Gong Yuxian.
Facing the attack, Gong Yuxian's expression remained calm as a giant icy blue lotus appeared around her, stopping the attacks.
*Why is it always a lotus? I don't know.*
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The lightning was the first to strike the lotus. It trembled slightly, with a few snowflakes peeling off. Following the lightning, the tiger's massive body slammed into the lotus with a loud bang. However, the beast failed to break through the defense.
"Roaar!"
The tiger roared again, raising its sharp claws and smashing at the lotus, attacking more fiercely. Along with its assault, lightning rained down as well, shaking the icy lotus.
Gong Yuxian smiled lightly. This was the first time she fought after switching to the improved Frozen Cloud Arts, and she finally experienced how much the new arts had enhanced her strength.
This beast was at the same level as her, at the 5th Level of the Emperor Profound Realm. Previously, her ice lotus wouldn't have lasted more than a few attacks, but now, even after enduring so many strikes, it showed no sign of collapsing.
She was very pleased with her strength and grateful to Yun Wuji, 'As expected, honey's genius is almost frightening.'
After testing her defense, she decided to try her offense as well.
"Frozen Cloud Domain!"
Along with Gong Yuxian's graceful shout, the space suddenly transformed into a field of ice- blue color within thousands of meters around her. In this enormous ice-blue field, countless flakes of snow and frost silently fell, and the water element in the air condensed into numerous crystals of ice.
The world was covered with a layer of white snow, and an increasingly thick layer of ice began to slowly encase the body of the thunder-winged tiger. Its movements grew sluggish, and even the lightning flashing around its body seemed to slowly freeze.
This was the effect of freezing profound energy.
The temperature dropped below zero in an instant, then continued to fall sharply, and a thickening layer of ice began to coat all the objects beneath her.
Countless ice spikes started to condense in the air before shooting toward the winged tiger.
The tiger roared and jumped nimbly to dodge them; however, although its movements were agile, the ice spikes were extremely fast. And because of its massive body, dozens of spikes still struck its body, penetrating its skin and flesh.
"ROAAR!"
The tiger roared, glaring at Gong Yuxian with hatred as it charged at her; the pain had awakened its savage nature.
However, just as the tiger moved, many massive sharp ice spikes suddenly protruded from the earth beneath it.
Caught off guard, the tiger didn't have time to react, and its stomach and chest were penetrated!
A copious amount of blood fell to the ground, freezing immediately.
Seizing this opportunity, the spikes in the air also fell like rain, piercing its body!
The attacks were so sudden that the tiger didn't have a chance to resist at all.
Finally, an icy spike shot from the ground, piercing through its chin and penetrating the tiger's head.
The tiger finally died. Because of the multiple icy spikes piercing it from the ground, it remained standing, its eyes wide open, staring at Gong Yuxian.
Gong Yuxian took a light breath and stopped her domain. She landed elegantly on the ground, turned around to look at Yun Wuji and Muron Qianxue, and walked toward them.
"How do you feel after the fight?" When she reached them, Muron Qianxue asked her.
"I didn't expect to grow this strong," Yuxian said, looking at her hand. Normally, it would take so much effort to fight someone at her level, and even if she managed to defeat them, it was hard to prevent them from retreating. This was especially true for beasts; they were generally stronger than profound practitioners, and usually, people would hunt them in teams.
"Well, since you tried, let's continue to look around," Yun Wuji said, not thinking much of it. Or rather, he couldn't understand how people like her felt at this moment because he had never experienced something similar.
If he faced someone at the same level as him, he would kill them with a sneeze.
They waited for Gong Yuxian to store the tiger's body in her storage ring before they continued exploring the area.
Yun Wuji had brought them to the Illusory Demon Realm to sightsee, but since Murong Qianxue and Gong Yuxian didn't like crowded places, like cities, he chose to take them to enjoy nature instead.
Along the way, they encountered an unfortunate winged lightning tiger that provoked them. Yun Wuji wanted to kill it with a slap, but Gong Yuxian took the initiative to fight it to become familiar with her strength.
The poor tiger didn't know that it had screwed up when it provoked them and ended up getting literally screwed.
"Didn't you notice something strange about this jungle?" Murong Qianxue asked as they flew.
"Hmm," Gong Yuxian thought for a moment and replied, "Although this jungle doesn't look different from the ones in the Sky Profound Continent, I feel like it is somewhat more 'alive."" "Alive? It's probably because many demons and fairies are living here," Yun Wuji said.
As they flew, he pointed beneath them and said, "Look there."
Gong Yuxian and Murong Qianxue followed his gaze and saw two pythons. These were not ordinary pythons; they were releasing the aura of the Earth Profound Realm from their bodies. The two mottled pythons floated in the swamp, staring at each other intently as a feeling of deep enmity spread through the rotting air.
"What's so strange about them?" Murong Qianxue asked, not understanding what was special
about the two pythons.
However, the next scene answered her.
"What ya staring at!"
"Staring at ya bein' a fool!
"Why dont'cha try doin' it again!"
"Yeah, I'm gonna do it again, what's it to ya?!"
She saw both pythons talking like humans, and soon they began to fight!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"How can these two talk like humans?" Murong Qianxue asked, her eyes widening in surprise
as she looked at Yun Wuji. "They are only at the Earth Profound Realm." Profound beasts that had reached a high level of cultivation would possess sufficiently high intelligence and could mimic human language. However, they typically needed to be at least in the later stages of the Sky Profound Realm, and they had to be long-lived, high-class
profound beasts.
Yet, these two pythons, which were only at the initial stage of the Earth Profound Realm, could actually speak, and they even spoke with such fluency!
"Are these pythons the demons you told us about earlier?" Gong Yuxian asked Yun Wuji,
equally surprised.
"Yes, these are demons," Yun Wuji nodded, continuing to watch the pythons. He also found
them interesting to watch.
The number of demons he had come into contact with during his last visit to the Illusory Demon Realm was very small.
Counting this time, he had been in the Illusory Demon Realm only twice.
The last time he came here was because he had to pass through the Illusory Demon Realm to
reach the Sky Profound Continent.
The two mottled pythons fought for a long while, and after they grew tired from their battling, they mutually parted. Then, with a flash, the two pythons actually transformed into
two young men dressed in spotted clothing!
"..." Murong Qianxue looked at the two for a long time. Although Yun Wuji had told her about the demons, she was still astonished when she saw them.
After the pythons left, the group continued to fly. Along the way, they encountered many
more demon beasts and demon spirits.
Demonic Spirits take the form of flowers, plants, and trees, this was also the reason that made Gong Yuxian feel this jungle was more 'alive.'
Soon, they left the jungle and, flying for some time, they saw the beach on the horizon. The beach stretched out in a golden expanse of soft sand, shimmering under the bright sun. Gentle waves lapped rhythmically at the shore, leaving behind delicate foamy trails. The air was filled with the salty tang of the ocean, mingled with the scent of sunscreen and tropical
flowers.
"So this is the beach? It's so beautiful!" Murong Qianxue exclaimed as she looked at the scenery in front of her.
"Hmm, it is truly breathtaking," Gong Yuxian mumbled after gazing at the scenery for a long
time.
"Palace Mistress, have you ever seen a beach before?" Murong Qianxue asked her.
The Blue Wind Empire was located near the center of the continent, meaning most people
living there never saw a beach in their entire lives.
*Just like in the real world, not everyone can afford a vacation abroad.*
"No, I rarely left the Blue Wind Empire. I cultivate the Frozen Heart Art and don't have many
desires or interests, so I never thought of traveling around the continent," Gong Yuxian shook
her head as she replied.
This was the life experience of most disciples of Frozen Cloud.
Most of them had never left the Snow Region of Extreme Ice. "The universe is so vast and holds so many wondrous things," Gong Yuxian murmured,
gazing at the sky. "Compared to it, we are so small. Our lifespan is very short, and we can
never witness all the world has to offer."
In the face of the vastness of heaven and earth, she felt so weak and insignificant. "The world is indeed immensely vast, but you're wrong. We can explore it together and see all
its wonders, even if it takes forever," Yun Wuji said, pulling her into his chest.
She spent her life in the weakest country of a lower plane, her vision was limited by her environment. Even if he told her about the higher realms, she couldn't fully imagine them. To her, someone at the Divine Origin Realm was already like a god. "Forever? I'd rather die of old age in your arms than live forever," Gong Yuxian replied, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest.
She didn't know about the future, but at least for now she just wanted to spend her days with
him.
"..." Yun Wuji didn't know how to respond. He understood what she meant. Can feelings really last forever? Can love withstand the trials of time?
Many people speak of everlasting love, but how many truly stayed true to each other?
He wasn't sure. As he pondered this, he found that the idea of dying together of old age with
loved ones didn't seem so bad.
'Why did this shit suddenly become deep?' Murong Qianxue thought she didn't like the atmosphere, she said as dragged them along, "Hey, let's stop with this depressing topic and play instead!"
