“Congratulations, host, for completing the mission to hand over the Carefree Sword. You have obtained an intermediate-level roulette. The reward has been distributed to your backpack. Host, please take a look at it.”
Su Xing, who was flying at high speed, heard a familiar notification sound in his mind.
He suddenly remembered the poem that the Drunk Sword Immortal had mentioned when he had given him the sword. His face bore an expression that showed a profound meaning that was both reasonable and unexpected.
“I bid farewell to my hometown and am about to leave…”
“I am the ruler of wine in the mortal world…”
“I see flowers in the snow and winter is always here…”
“I meet you when I meet you!”
An old friend in the snow!
“It seems that the old friend that Drunk Sword Immortal mentioned is really an old friend in the snow!”
Looking at the young girl who was curiously sizing up the sky, Su Xing seemed to be deep in thought.
This was the first time that she had seen the sky at such a close distance. She curiously reached out her hand and drew it across the clouds. Her hand felt how the clouds were ice-cold and cool to the touch. It felt very comfortable.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled sweetly.
“Brother Su Xing, the sky is so beautiful!”
Su Xing did not say anything, but just nodded with a smile.
She focused her mind into the system to check.
She opened the system panel, and familiar information appeared in front of her.
[ system: check in to System 2.0 every day ]
[ Host: Su Xing ]
[ strength: ninth transition of the Ascension Realm (100%)]
[ beginner-level roulette twice, intermediate-level roulette once ].
Note: The host’s experience points have reached saturation. Please transcend the Tribulation and advance as soon as possible. [Transcend the tribulation within three days!]
After circling around for ten years, this day finally arrived!
The most important thing now was to consider the great tribulation of the Human Immortal first. Other things should be put aside for now!
Silently looking at the terrain around him, Su Xing suddenly thought of a suitable place to transcend the tribulation in his heart.
Perhaps it was because he was still at the periphery of the Thousand-Mile Red Cliff. After searching for a while, he had yet to find a suitable place.
The saying of cultivators transcending the Heavenly Tribulation had existed since ancient times. Human cultivation was a matter of defying the heavens and changing one’s fate. When one reached a certain level of cultivation, it would attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, when one faced a breakthrough again, the Heavenly Dao would send down the Heavenly Tribulation, even if the Heavenly Dao did not send down and order to transcend, it was also a form of training for cultivators!
After transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, one would welcome a transformation. If one failed to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, they would become a pile of ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation.
It was a test of life and death was between the weak and the strong!
Therefore, this was also the reason why most cultivators’ expressions changed when they talked about the Heavenly Tribulation.
Of course, this kind of Heavenly Tribulation mostly existed when higher-level cultivators broke through. For example, Su Yan’er, who triggered the Heavenly Tribulation when she was only in the Golden Core Realm, was a special case. It was a talent that only very few evildoers would have.
Who asked her to be the Empress!
If her talent was not a little evildoer, it would have been impossible for her to cultivate to the level of the Empress.
Su Xing came back to her senses and looked at the vast desert with a frown.
“Miss Xue Jian, is there a suitable place for me to transcend the tribulation here?”
She did not know which nerve of Xue Jian’s had he triggered with that statement, but she snorted lightly and tilted her head to the side.
She said angrily.
“Brother Su Xing, you can call me Xue Jian in the future, or you can call me Xiao Xue. Please don’t add the word ‘miss’, understand?”
Hearing this, Su Xing suddenly felt a little confused.
“Why?”
“Because it’s too unfamiliar!”
Ugh…
Hearing this answer, Su Xing could not decide whether to laugh or cry.
“Okay, Xue Jian, then you can tell me the answer now.”
Xue Jian smiled sweetly. Apparently, she was very satisfied with Su Xing’s performance.
She thought for a moment and then said.
“Brother Su Xing, I don’t know where it is suitable for the tribulation. But I think the tribulation must be in a quiet place. There is such a suitable place thirty miles away from that place.”
Well done!
Su Xing was about to sigh when he heard the first sentence, but the last sentence made him a little happier.
This girl, she did not even finish her sentences. I thought…
Cough, cough!
Xue Jian’s brain wavelengths were on par with Junior Sister Shen Yaoling’s. Who knew what would happen if these two jokers met. Just thinking about it made him feel interested in finding out!
Su Xing nodded approvingly and changed his direction to fly towards the place Xue Jian had mentioned.
The place Xue Jian mentioned was said to be a mysterious canyon.
In the depths of this canyon was an unexplored area in the desert. It was definitely a more suitable location for transcending the tribulation.
As for why no one had set foot in it, Xue Jian had only said four words — Quicksand Domain!
To cultivators, quicksand was not a threat at all.
However, the quicksand in the quicksand domain was different from the usual quicksand. Firstly, its surface claimed that nothing could float on it. Even the lightest feather that stayed on it could not avoid the result of being swallowed. Secondly, nothing could fly over it. It was as if there was a formation that forbade flying above the quicksand.
That was why no one dared to set foot in that place. In fact, it should be said that no one dared to set foot in that entire place.
With the full power of the aerial ladder, the two of them soon arrived at the edge of the realm of quicksand.
Once they landed, Su Xing could feel that this place was unusual.
Although there was still endless yellow sand in front of them, compared to the sparse vegetation that occasionally appeared on the periphery of the Red Cliff, everything around them was pale yellow and fine sand.
And the canyon that Xue Jian mentioned had not yet appeared in their sight.
“Brother Su Xing, further ahead is the no-fly zone.”
Su Xing nodded.
Actually, even without Xue Jian’s explanation, he could also feel the strange gravitational magnetic field in the sky.
This made him a little curious.
What kind of place was this? Even the immortal level flying technique was affected.
Su Xing took out a piece of cloth from his storage ring and threw it over. In the blink of an eye, the cloth sank into the sand.
This scene made Xue Jian take a few steps back involuntarily.
She turned her head and pulled on the corner of Su Xing’s clothes.
“Brother Su Xing, follow me. I know how to enter the canyon! !”
Following Xue Jian’s footsteps, the two walked along the edge for 15 minutes.
“What can Xue Jian see?”
Seeing Xue Jian take two steps forward, Su Xing hurriedly pulled her back.
Compared to Su Xing’s cautiousness, Xue Jian had a puzzled expression.
“Brother Su Xing, there’s a path that leads straight to the canyon. Others can’t see it, but Xue Jian’s eyes can!”
As she spoke, she pointed at her emerald-green pupils.
Ah, her pupil technique?
Upon hearing this, Su Xing opened his purple demon eyes, and his eyes could not help but light up.
Under a faint layer of purple, the flowing sand in front of him turned into a vast ocean, and in the middle of it stood a white jade bridge of unknown length.
So the path that Xue Jian mentioned was a bridge.
Thinking of this, Su Xing had a look of understanding.
No wonder this girl made it sound so sinister and dangerous. She even promised to bring him here. It turned out that she knew the way to enter.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Jian had already rushed up the stone bridge with a smile.
She waved her hand and said.
“Brother Su Xing, quickly chase me. Let’s see who can reach the other side first.”
Looking at the girl who ran away, Su Xing smiled helplessly.
With a flash, he landed steadily on the stone bridge.
