Chapter 310: Preparation for the Battle, and Afterwards
At the north end of the Extreme Cold Palace, in a gorgeous ice house, a strong man with his upper body naked was practicing cross-legged. On his right arm, there was a group of yellow runes shaking slightly. The aura on his body was very oppressive and powerful, far beyond the fourth level, indicating that he was a fifth-level cultivator. The runes on his arm were his magic weapons.
At this moment, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and a light blue light shone out.
He glanced outside and said, "Come in."
The disciple who was serving the man outside came in and handed him a jade token of communication.
The man received the information on the jade token, and his face, which had originally shown no interest, suddenly lit up!
“Hahahaha!” The man suddenly laughed out loud: “The ancestor actually watched this competition in person? Is that other guy a disciple of Juefei Sect? This is interesting.”
As he spoke, the man stood up, and the runes on his arm flew in front of him, shaking rhythmically, as if they were in a very excited state just like the man.
The man clenched his palm and said, "I don't care where you are from. You will be my stepping stone in the end! I hope you won't let me down."
At the western end of the Extremely Cold Palace, in a courtyard, the jade plate gently fell on a table made of ice crystals.
A woman stood aside, she stood there like an ice sculpture, her tall figure exuding a cool aura.
Her skin was as white as snow, as if it had never been kissed by the sun, and it exuded a cool luster. Her long black hair was piled high and combed into an exquisite crown inlaid with sparkling gems.
The woman's face was as cold as ice, making it hard to fathom her thoughts. Her eyes radiated a light green light, deep and cold, making people dare not look directly at her. Her lips were tightly closed, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed a hint of imperceptible pride.
Her fingers are slender and white like scallions. Her beauty is amazing, like a plum blossom blooming in the snow.
There was a white silk ribbon on his body that fluttered in the wind. The ribbon was as white as snow and exuded bursts of power.
The woman came to the ice crystal table gracefully, and her fingertips slid across the jade communication card as if teasing: "The ancestor is watching in person. The disciple of Master Yazhi can cause such a big reaction. It's interesting."
Such scenes were not only happening here. Some fifth-level disciples in the Jihan Palace were also very excited at this moment, and their expectations for the competition were very high.
In the Jihan Heavenly Palace, the cultivators at the fifth-level magic weapon realm, in addition to wanting to leave a good impression in front of the ancestor, also wanted to see the strength of this disciple of the Juefei Sect who could raise the limits of the rules.
The goals of cultivators below level five are much simpler. Except for a few who want to fight with the cultivators of Juefei Sect, the others know their own strengths and weaknesses and have no intention of competing with the cultivators of level five.
They all wanted to show their style and strengths as much as possible, so that they would have a very low chance of being noticed by the ancestor. Maybe they could even receive guidance from the ancestor.
Everything here is still in full swing, quietly waiting for the competition to begin.
—Eastern Region, Eastern Province, Little Rock City——
Zhang Yu and his wife Mo Xue were in the City Lord's Mansion at this time, holding hands and reminiscing about the past.
As the two of them talked, they would talk about some objects that carried memories from the past.
So Zhang Yu opened his magical power, the eternal space.
With a buzzing sound, a transparent square space appeared in front of him. There were all kinds of small things piled up in the space, some were flowers and plants, some were handicrafts, and some were drawings and gifts given by Mo Xue to Zhang Yu. These things all had one characteristic, that is, they were all discovered or made by the couple together.
There is a light and warm atmosphere in this space, and every item carries a beautiful memory.
The two looked at the things in the eternal space, as if they had traveled back to the past.
Zhang Yu's gaze fell on a colorful flower, his eyes full of affection and nostalgia. He picked this flower for his wife when he liked it during an outing.
The two pointed at the flower and recalled what happened in the past.
Then, Mo Xue's eyes fell on a handicraft, which was something she had made personally and was going to give to Zhang Yu during a festival.
Although this handicraft is simple, it contains deep emotions. Zhang Yu and Mo Xue, an elderly couple, smiled as they recalled the scene when they made this handicraft.
"I remember that you were so clumsy at that time that you almost broke this handicraft. I wanted to help you several times, but you refused to let me." Zhang Yu smiled happily.
"That was something I prepared to make personally and give to you, my husband. If you had helped me at that time, it would not have been pure." Mo Xue also smiled.
Then he looked at a drawing and recalled that he had once been out and about, passing by a rather elegant and beautiful natural landscape, and had painted it together.
Every item here reminds Zhang Yu of every moment he spent with Mo Xue, those sweet and warm times.
There was nothing related to cultivation in Zhang Yu's eternal space. All that was placed inside were items worth remembering between him and his wife.
For Zhang Yu, family is far more important than cultivation.
Zhang Yu has never changed his original intention since he started practicing in his teens until now.
When it comes to cultivation, he has never had high aspirations. Instead, he places the greatest emphasis on family and love. In his eyes, these precious memories are far more important than any cultivation resources.
The atmosphere between the two was so cheerful and happy.
As he spoke, Mo Xue gradually calmed down.
She asked Zhang Yu in a playful tone: "Husband, after I ascend to the immortal world before you, what are your plans?"
Zhang Yu paused for a moment after hearing this: "I don't have any plans yet, but if I have to say a plan, it's probably to stay with you in the Little Stone City that we built with our joint efforts."
Mo Xue looked up at the sky. As someone who had lived with Zhang Yu for a lifetime, she knew very well what Zhang Yu meant by what he said just now. That was not the ending she wanted.
How fortunate it is for a person to have the spiritual roots to become an immortal?
As a mortal, she was able to monopolize Zhang Yu for a hundred years. No matter what Zhang Yu thought, at least Mo Xue was already very content. She couldn't keep "dragging" Zhang Yu after she died.
The two of them sat in the yard in a daze for a while.
Mo Xue suddenly said, "Husband, I want to go up to the sky and take another look at the whole picture of our Little Rock City."
Zhang Yu took his wife and flew directly into the sky, looking down from the air.
In fact, overlooking Little Rock City has been something Zhang Yu and Mo Xue have done almost every day since three years ago. However, this time, the viewing was obviously different from the past.
Mo Xue knows his physical condition best.
Zhang Yu had also seen many people leave, and he also knew how far Mo Xue had come now, but Zhang Yu did not say anything about it.
In short, the atmosphere today is particularly heavy.
