The Azure Sky Walking Through the Desert
This is a desolate desert. A lone Chang Kong walks through the sky, surrounded by swirling yellow sand that almost obscures his presence in the projection, leaving only a faint shadow. Please search (品书网) to read the most complete novels!
"The Death Desert?" A cultivator outside the Bookstore asked, noticing the projection switch to this location.
"No, although the Death Desert is called the Death Desert, it's not entirely desert. Look at this projection; as far as the eye can see, it's all sand," a cultivator said, pointing to the background in the projection.
"That's right, I've been to the Death Desert. It has a special geographical location, and it's dry and desolate all year round with little wind. The sandstorms here don't quite fit the characteristics of the Death Desert," said a cultivator who claimed to have been to the Death Desert.
Among so many cultivators, some must have been to the Death Desert. One by one, they stepped forward to deny that the scene shown in the projection was not the Death Desert.
"Is that Elder Chang Kong inside? Where is he going?"
The projection shows an imperial perspective, where only backs are visible. To guess who the characters are, you have to rely on their body shapes.
But before anyone else could speak, the perspective shifted to Chang Kong's profile, Chang Kong face instantly appeared in the projection.
"Judging from his appearance, Elder Chang Kong seems to have been walking for quite a while; he looks rather exhausted," someone remarked, noticing Chang Kong's pale face and cracked lips.
"Why doesn't he fly away?" a cultivator asked, puzzled.
Chang Kong's realm is the peak of the Spirit Emperor Eighth Stage. As long as his Spiritual Power is abundant, he can fly for a long time.
But Chang Kong didn't seem to choose to fly; instead, he walked on foot through the endless yellow sand.
Ma Feifei looked at Chang Kong quietly, his expression somewhat solemn. If he had to say who he cared about most during this training mission involving three thousand people, it would undoubtedly be Chang Kong.
If Ma Feifei's deduction is correct, this training mission should be the final lesson in teaching the Analects.
In other words, the three thousand students will graduate after this training mission is completed.
Their graduation grades also determine whether Ma Feifei can include the Epic-grade- quality book, the Analects, in the book.
More importantly! This training mission is also related to whether Ma Feifei can complete the Side Quest – A Saint's Following.
Based on the fact that the two cultivators who successfully disrupted Liu Changsheng's fish-selling business received a significant boost in cultivation after completing their mission, it can be inferred that if the three thousand students can successfully complete three of the eight principles, they should also receive system rewards, namely, an increase in cultivation.
Chang Kong's current cultivation level is at the peak of the Spirit Emperor Eighth Stage. According to the Analects, it is not impossible to directly elevate Chang Kong to the Spirit Saint realm.
However, if Chang Kong wants to gain the boost from the Analects, he absolutely cannot fail this training mission.
"I hope you can seize this opportunity," Ma Feifei thought silently, looking at the Chang Kong projected on the screen.
At this moment, Chang Kong in the projection seemed to be very tired. His physical and mental strength were declining, and he lost his balance and collapsed directly onto the desert.
His body was instantly buried by the sandstorm.
"My God! This sandstorm is too fierce! It buried people in an instant!" a cultivator exclaimed in surprise.
"If they don't come out now, they'll never come out again," someone said worriedly.
With such fierce sandstorms, if we don't climb out in time, we might get buried deeper and deeper.
"I've never understood why he doesn't use Spiritual Power." This is the most puzzling point for many cultivators.
Since it's not Book World, there's no issue of cultivation being sealed. At least in the known Azure Dragon Continent, there's no known place where entering would restrict one's cultivation.
The Luo River, one of the nine great ancient sites, also allows the use of Spiritual Power.
It's just that at this stage, no one can use Spiritual Power to resist Luo River's powerful suction.
"Look, he's climbed out," someone said, pointing at the projection.
Inside the projection, Chang Kong struggled to crawl out of the yellow sand, and this time he still did not use his Spiritual Power.
After crawling out, Chang Kong dragged his exhausted body forward.
There were no narration words or instructions, so everyone could only suppress their curiosity and continue watching.
At that moment, two figures seemed to appear in front of Chang Kong.
One adult and one child, a mother and daughter.
They were standing there when the mother took a water bottle out of her bag and was feeding her daughter.
Chang Kong witnessing this scene, Chang Kong unconsciously swallowed, his chapped lips parting slightly.
"How could we possibly encounter people in a place like this?" The cultivators outside were all puzzled when they saw the mother and daughter.
"Elder Chang Kong looks very thirsty; I just saw him swallow," a cultivator remarked.
"What are you hesitating for? Since you're thirsty and have no water to drink, just go and grab some," a cultivator said dismissively when he saw Chang Kong standing there hesitantly.
Most importantly, no one objected to his statement; it seemed that in their eyes, this approach was perfectly normal.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Chang Kong in the projection chose to continue walking forward and did not try to Snatch the mother and daughter's water bottle.
"Tsk tsk, this is truly unexpected. When did the Sword Sect elders actually adhere to such moral principles?" someone remarked with a hint of sarcasm upon witnessing the scene.
In this world, the law of the jungle prevails, and what you see before you is a microcosm of it. What may seem like just a pot of water is, in that environment, no different from someone standing in front of you with rare and precious treasures. The most crucial point is that the person's cultivation level is very low, and if they wanted, they could easily obtain rare and precious treasures.
No one would believe that a cultivator at Chang Kong's level has never stolen anything from others.
"Perhaps he knew we would see his actions, and deliberately put on this act," one practitioner Analytic.
This reason is still considered very plausible by most people. After all, there are so many people watching on site. Although the world is a dog-eat-dog world, when there are so many people, it is inevitable that they will want to establish their own image.
The projection of the Chang Kong continued to move forward, and everyone watched quietly, without anyone finding it boring.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the view opened up before me: green grass, a shimmering river, and houses with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys.
Compared to the desert landscape before, this place seems like a paradise on earth, a fairyland.
Chang Kong's face also showed a look of joy. He ran towards the stream. He was so thirsty that he was almost hallucinating.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a painful Growl came from behind Chang Kong. Chang Kong subconsciously stopped and realized that the mother and daughter from before had also come up behind him.
Seemingly due to carelessness, the little girl fell and was immediately engulfed by the yellow sand. Her mother tried to pull her up, but accidentally fell down as well, and both of them were instantly buried by the yellow sand.
