Chapter 266 See you again
"So this place is called Thang Long Mountain."
"Yes, new king, that serpent changed the name of this area in order to successfully transform itself. We little monsters have suffered a lot from its torment."
"Oh?"
"Of course! Your Majesty, you have no idea how much that wretched serpent sacrificed itself to transform, leaving us nothing to eat. We've been suffering terribly! Now that it's dead, we're finally free!"
How do you know I'm not worse than it?
A hush fell over the area, and the little sprites looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Heh~ Just kidding. From now on, this area is under my protection. As long as you don't do anything evil or cause trouble, you can do whatever you want."
"Also, the name Shenglong Mountain doesn't sound good. From today onwards, this place will be called... Chenxing Mountain."
"The mighty king!"
The little sprites below immediately cheered.
"Also, stop calling me 'King' from now on, it's too vulgar. From now on, call me 'Immortal'."
"Yes, Your Majesty is mighty!"
After dismissing the lesser demons and setting up a barrier in this area to prevent outsiders from disturbing it, things have finally settled down.
The resources here are barely enough for cultivation; as for anything better, with her current abilities, she might be able to seize it but not necessarily keep it.
In the lower realm, she is the ceiling; here, she is the floor. She still needs to cultivate first.
Fortunately, the resources on this mountain were not coveted, and Liu Jun's cultivation progress was steadily advancing.
In the upper realm, cultivation levels are no longer numbered in layers, but each level has become a rank, with ten ranks in each level.
Over the course of a hundred years, Liu Jun had only cultivated to the third level of Earth Immortal. The little snake still showed no signs of waking up, and she was listed as one of the first "newcomers" to be sent to war. Moreover, most of her peers were Earth Immortals who had not chosen to rely on the Immortal Palace.
So even the upper realms practice this kind of differential treatment.
When I was in the lower realm, I didn't have much of a useful thing to bring with me to the upper realm. Now that I'm here, there's even less. For the past hundred years, I've only focused on cultivation and haven't bothered to scavenge anywhere else. I don't have a single thing that could save my life.
As for Geng Wuji, it's best to keep him out of the public eye for now.
They went to the battlefield penniless, and Liu Jun knew absolutely nothing about this alien species. They would only know what to do once they arrived at the scene.
After traveling for several days, the group finally arrived at the battlefield and saw the legendary demon race, one of the three realms. Their appearance was similar to that of the demon cultivators in the lower realm, but they used a strange power that they had never seen before, which was neither immortal power nor demon power.
"strangeness……"
Although I don't recognize this kind of magic, it feels strangely familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before, but I just can't remember where.
She killed another person who was close by, and used up another weapon. It seemed that every item she had was becoming less and less.
He took out a bottle of pills and poured a handful into his mouth, but the effect was minimal.
Eighth-grade pills are of little use here, and even high-grade immortal artifacts are ruined after one use, after all, they are from the lower realm.
When we get back, we'll need to refine some of the things here first.
"Draw a circle on the ground and imprison them!"
There were just too many demons, and no one knew when it would end. Liu Jun gradually became exhausted, and he had used up most of his belongings. He didn't even know how many pill cores he had accumulated in his storage bag.
"They survived the ascension tribulation, they won't die here, will they?"
Liu Jun's breathing gradually became heavy, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Why do I always end up in such a sorry state...?
Gazing at the sky stained black and red by the flames of war, surrounded by the ceaseless fighting, and watching the enemies rushing in, Liu Jun remained remarkably calm as the sharp blades drew ever closer.
But the blade did not pierce her chest as expected. Instead, the enemy in front of her was instantly sliced in two, and red and green blood splattered onto her face.
Liu Jun tilted his head, calmly looking at the two halves of the corpse in front of him, and casually wiped the blood off his face.
"Tsk~ How convenient, he didn't even die."
Then he turned to look at the person who had arrived late in the distance, and the two looked at each other across the corpses scattered on the ground.
The person on the other side stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, long sword in hand, their robes fluttering yet spotless, while she on this side appeared disheveled and lifeless, her clothes tattered yet she stood ramrod straight.
“Yan Zhi”.
With a sound as light as dust, it was caught by that person.
He walked towards her past the corpses scattered on the ground, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at plants and trees.
Liu Jun chuckled, and the figure in front of him became increasingly blurry.
She must look incredibly miserable right now...
He walked towards her without a trace of emotion, yet steadily caught her as she swayed.
In her last moments of consciousness, did she fall to the ground, or was someone caught by her?
……
When Liu Jun woke up again, she was on her Chenxing Mountain, and Geng Wuji was by her side.
"My lord, you're finally awake!"
Geng Wuji knelt by the bed and exclaimed with joy.
Liu Wu turned his head weakly and asked, "Wuji, how did I get back?"
Geng Wuji paused, remained silent for a moment, and then lowered his eyes to reply, "Yes... he brought you back."
Liu Jun remained silent, turning his head to stare blankly at the rooftop.
"grown ups……"
Liu Jun suddenly chuckled, then turned his head wearily to look at He Geng Wuji again: "Wuji, go to Tao Yao's house and ask me for some peaches. She's tried to send them several times but hasn't accepted them. Now, I suddenly want some."
Geng Wuji was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
Only after Geng Wuji's figure disappeared from sight did Liu Jun manage to sit up, staring blankly outside.
"What, since you've been here the whole time, why don't you come in and have a seat?"
No one answered her from inside the house. After a while, a figure appeared outside the door.
"you……"
"Why are you standing so far away? I'm sick right now, my eyesight is bad, I can't see you clearly."
After another moment of silence, the person finally stepped into the house.
She wore the same clothes as that day, spotless, and her eyes showed not a trace of emotion.
"sit."
Yan Zhi found a stool and sat down.
Liu Jun scanned him from head to toe, and he looked exactly the same as when she last saw him in the mortal realm, without the slightest change.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
"Little Willow..."
"Heh~"
Honestly, it's been so long since I've heard that title.
Yan Zhi lowered his eyes: "You... are not..."
"died?"
There was always a hint of something else in his eyes.
"Indeed, I've died once, no, twice."
No, it should be three times.
Yan Zhi looked at her, only to meet a pair of eyes full of sarcasm.
Liu Jun stared at him for a long while before suddenly asking, "Yanzhi, I'll only ask you this once: why did you create that body?"
Liu Jun stared straight at him, asking an answer she already knew, but she still wanted to hear it from his own ears.
"I will only ask this question once."
And this is the only time you'll give an answer.
"Little Willow..."
Liu Jun was still looking at him, as stubborn as ever.
(Master, why did you choose me?)
(Is it because of my talent, or...?)
My master always stares blankly at my face.
Just like now, Yanzhi was staring at her face, lost in thought.
"Yanzhi?"
(End)
[Yanzhi, you bastard!!!]
Yan Zhimu stood up abruptly and hurriedly left without even saying goodbye.
His mind was confused.
What exactly caused it?
Not long after, Geng Wuji returned carrying a basket of peaches, his face still bearing a gentle smile.
"My lord, the peaches you requested have been washed for you."
Liu Jun looked wearily at Geng Wuji, picked up a peach from the basket, took a bite, and gave a faint smile.
"It's very sweet. You can keep the rest. I remember you love peaches too."
Geng Wuji happily agreed: "Then I will not disturb your rest any longer, sir."
"Ah."
Geng Wuji left with the basket, considerately closing the door behind him. His eyes gradually darkened, and he slowly walked back into his own room.
"Yanzhi, I've said it before, I'll only ask this once."
Putting down the peach she had only taken a bite of, Liu Jun slowly lay back down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
It took Liu Jun almost half a year to recover from this injury, and only then did he have time to exchange the pill cores he had obtained for materials.
However, the number of pill cores is too small; they can only be exchanged for some low-grade materials, but that's enough to forge a true immortal weapon.
With a magical artifact, one can plunder even more resources.
Once you have enough to rely on, it's time to harvest pill cores to exchange for even more.
