Chapter 255 – Heavenly Pool Beast (Up)
Yun Che and Xia Qingyue traveled together in this manner, and the two of them were undoubtedly the strongest duo among the younger generation of the Cangfeng Empire. The two of them traveled all the way north …… accurately, they didn’t know what direction was ahead of them, all they saw along the way was the boundless snow plains and the wind and snow, there was nothing to gain and they didn’t encounter any dangers, and the shadows of the Xuan Beasts were also half-seen.
Yun Che had been chattering on and on, asking Xia Qing Yue all sorts of questions, and telling her about Xia Yuanba’s condition all along. Xia Qingyue’s response, on the other hand, was always incomparably light, with only the occasional faint response. Her hands kept brushing and sweeping away the ice and snow on the ground, but she never gained anything.
“Qingyue’s wife, isn’t there anything you want to ask me? For example, how have I been since …… you left me, where have I been, have I been bullied ……”
“With your character, it’s good that you don’t go bullying others, who can really bully you.” Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes looked ahead, emotionless. Following that, her eyes moved and she finally took the initiative to ask him a question, “But I want to know, how did you grow up during this period of time?”
Xia Qingyue finally took the initiative to ask him a question, Yun Che’s expression immediately became serious and said, “This matter is my secret, others I will definitely not tell, but you are my wife well, it’s a different story. Well …… I met a master who revived my Xuan Vein and taught me some messy things, plus I had some special encounters during this period of time, and that’s why I’m here today.”
“Your master?” Xia Qingyue’s eyes faintly flashed with surprise: “To be able to make you grow to such heights in such a short period of time, your master, must be an unparalleled person.”
Yun Che waited for a while, but didn’t hear her continue to ask any more questions, and instantly said, “Don’t you want to ask who this master of mine is?”
“That is your privacy, I have no right to ask.” Xia Qingyue replied indifferently.
“Well ……,” Yun Che pondered for a moment and smiled, “As for this master of mine, she is indeed a worldly strange person, but where she is ‘strange’ you would never be able to guess. She is much more powerful than you think, and has completely changed my destiny, only that she is definitely not a good master, because to be precise, she hasn’t really taught me anything, every time, she just shoved something directly into my head, and let me comprehend and practice it on my own, however, I, who am a disciple, never let her down, and every time, I comprehended and understood what she shoved into my head in a very short time, which is how I came to be me. That’s how I came to be what I am now.”
“Hmph, narcissist!” Inside his head, Jasmine’s very disdainful voice rang out.
At this moment, a strange sensation came from the palm of Yun Che’s left hand, and he immediately raised his left hand, and saw that his palm was flickering with the green light belonging to the Heavenly Poison Pearl.
This was ……
The Heavenly Poison Pearl’s sensing of treasures!
And what could make the Heavenly Poison Pearl sense, was still by no means an ordinary treasure, at least, it was also at the level of the Star Cryptic Grass.
Since returning to the Cangfeng Empire, the Heavenly Poison Pearl had a total of two probing senses, one was the discovery of the Star Cryptic Grass, and the second, was the sensing of the existence of the Evil God’s Fire Seed. This was the third time …… the direction the sensing pointed to happened to be directly in front of them.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Qingyue saw him stop and looked back to ask.
“I guess we’re about to have a big catch!!!” Yun Che closed his palms, “Let’s go, let’s continue forward.”
The wind and snow did not show any signs of stopping, and it was unknown how long this wind and snow had been falling, and the ice and snow that their feet were treading on was thick to an unimaginable degree. The two of them continued to walk forward for more than two hours, and the Heavenly Poison Bead’s sensation was still present, but there was no harvest. This did not make Yun Che disappointed, but instead, his heart became even more energized……. To be able to make the Heavenly Poison Bead sense from such a distance, the thing it had discovered must be extraordinary! At the very least, it had to be much more precious than the Star Cryptic Grass!
What on earth could it be?
The temperature here was frighteningly low, and after walking under the icy sky and snow for so long, in order to withstand the cold, the rate of Xuan Power depletion was also quite fast, even Yun Che, who had a body that was no less than that of a true dragon, was beginning to be a bit overwhelmed, and other young Xuan Masters whose Xuan Powers were a bit weaker were even more conceivable. He shrunk his neck, gazing meticulously ahead, and casually asked, “Qingyue’s wife, your master’s apprentice and the others should have come to this place many times before, what do they usually get?”
Xia Qingyue thought for a moment and said, “Master has been here twice before, and each time he would have a great harvest, the first time he got three Pure Cloud Jade and two Ten Thousand Years Blood Ganoderma, the second time he got a piece of Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal, three drops of Xuan Spirit Jade Dew as well as a piece of a Giant Beast’s Skeleton. Master has said that there are three seasons here and that the seasonal characteristics are shown to be very extreme, of which, the most unlucky thing is to encounter winter because the wind and snow in winter will cover everything tightly, making it hard to harvest anything.”
Unfortunately, the first time Yun Che and Xia Qingyue entered the Heavenly Pond Mysterious Realm, they encountered a cold winter with snow flying in the sky. That’s right, all everything was covered tightly by ice and snow, not to mention any treasures, not even a stone could be seen.
“What is the best thing that those who have entered this Heavenly Pool Secret Realm have ever found?” Yun Che asked. When he said this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Xia Qingyue also stopped with him and shook her head slightly, “I don’t know. If anyone really has any great gains, they usually don’t vocalize them. However, I heard master talk about it, more than four hundred years ago, there was someone who discovered a Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus in the middle of the Heavenly Pond.”
“Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus?” Yun Che was astonished, there were only a handful of herbs in the world that he did not know, but the name Bodhi Imperial Heart Lotus, he had never heard his master talk about it, and today was the first time he had heard of it.
Xia Qingyue slightly raised her eyes and slowly said: ”Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus, is a sacred thing recorded in my palace’s Ice Cloud Sacred Canon, and it is also recorded in other top sects. In the records, it is a heavenly sacred object, and a heaven-defying object that shouldn’t exist in the world. It was rumored to have once appeared in a very long time ago, and since then, it had never appeared again and only existed in many records about it. Four hundred years ago, a senior of the Xiao Sect used his soul to transmit his voice to tell everyone who was in the secret realm at the time that he had found the ‘Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus’ in the Heavenly Pond exactly as it was recorded……. However, it was the voice of his death, and after saying those words, he had no more audio, nor was he able to walk out of the secret realm, and fell.”
“A holy thing from heaven”, “a thing against the heavens”, all of these words from Xia Qingyue were rendering the “Bodhi Emperor’s Heart Lotus” to be such an astonishing existence. Yun Che then asked, “Then what exactly is this ‘Bodhi Imperial Heart Lotus’ heaven-defying? Could one live forever after eating it?”
“…… No one has actually seen it, so everything about it is just records.” Xia Qingyue said softly, “I heard my master say that after taking the ‘Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus’, it can allow a person with no Xuan power to step into the Earth Xuan realm in a single day. …… With my current realm, if I take the ‘Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus’, I will be able to step into the Heavenly Xuan Realm in one step. Moreover, the power contained in the ‘Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus’ is extremely gentle, and there will never be a situation where the taker is traumatized by a body that cannot withstand it.”
“…… So powerful!!!” Yun Che’s mouth was wide open. Allowing a person with no Xuan power to directly step into the Earth Xuan Realm, allowing an Earth Xuan Realm Xuanist to take a step into the Heavenly Xuan Realm that the vast majority of people did not dare to hope for in their entire lives, it was simply hard to believe that something like this could exist in the world.
As long as you get it, you can easily climb up to the heights that other people may not be able to climb even after a lifetime of hard work, the four words “something against the heavens” are not exaggerated when applied to it. And this kind of thing that destroys the balance too much should not exist in the world.
“Speaking of which, what does that ‘Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus’ look like?” Yun Che tapped his chin with his hand, a rather strange look appearing on his face, and his gaze was somewhat erratic.
Xia Qingyue’s pink lips lightly opened, and she said, “I’ve read the records about the ‘Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus’, it’s much larger than the usual lotus flower, and when it blooms, the diameter is five feet long, and the petals, they present a somewhat demonic light blue color… …”
“…… Is it as blue as blue crystal? Each petal also has a glazed luster like a crystal. The stamen in the center of the petal is scarlet and glows. The flower stem that holds it up is also blue, an ethereal blue that is much deeper than the color of the petals …… “Yun Che stared blankly at Xia Qingyue and said sentence by sentence with a bizarre look.
Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes condensed with a touch of surprise within them, “You originally read the records about it?”
“No no, absolutely not.” Yun Che stretched out his finger and tentatively pointed behind her, “What I’m talking about, is that lotus flower behind you.”
Xia Qingyue looked back suddenly, and with that, her fragrant lips slightly opened, and her entire person was stunned.
Just less than fifty paces away from them, a light blue shadow was reflected. That’s right, it was a lotus flower, a huge lotus flower. It was five feet long in diameter, with an ethereal blue jade-like stem, light blue petals with fluorescent streaming shadows, and stamens that were like a red star gathered together, flickering with a mysterious and demonic light.
Lotus flower should bloom in the hot summer, but this lotus flower, but in the wind and snow proudly bloom. Wind whistling, snow falling, such snow and wind under even an ordinary person is difficult to stand firm, but this lotus is proudly stand, no matter the petals, stamens are unshaken, as if the snow and wind even ten times bigger, do not want to let it zero off any piece of petals.
Under the snow, the whole land was submerged. But only did not drown this lotus flower, petals, clearly even a trace of flying snow can not be seen, in this world of flying snow, became the only, and the most dazzling existence.
