A Mayfly Gazes at the Sky

"Shen Ge, what are your plans for the future? Judging from your expression, you really don't intend to return to the Spirit Moon Sect?"

Shen Ge sighed softly and said, "There's no going back. Going back next time might put Master and Senior Sister in a difficult position."

Li Xue felt a chill run down her spine. Judging from Shen Ge's tone, was his matter not over yet?

By the way, Shen Ge seemed to have asked that person about something before. It must be related to that item. And for an elder in the Late Golden Core Stage to be so interested in it that he was even willing to harm his own disciples, that item must be extraordinary.

I heard an elder from the sect mention before that Shen Ge's sea of consciousness was damaged and that he needed Spirit Severing Pill to heal it.

And Mu Wan risked so much to venture into the deep sea during the battle between the righteous and the demonic forces.

If you really think about it that way, given the allure of that thing, plus Zhang Sheng's certain status...

Could it be!

Li Xue's expression immediately turned serious. She looked at Shen Ge and advised, "Shen Ge, you should think things through before making a decision. Don't be impulsive."

"Also, there are some things you shouldn't say. I'll pretend I didn't hear them today. Just keep these things to yourself."

Shen Ge looked up at Li Xue with surprise. Seeing her serious expression, she couldn't help but wonder if Li Xue had really figured something out or was she just pretending.

But it seems like she really figured something out; she's quite quick-witted.

Shen Ge couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Xue, why do you think so fast? Women who are too smart aren't popular."

Li Xue's serious expression vanished, replaced by a warm smile, "So what if no one likes me? I don't need one. I've never even considered dao companion."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about what you plan to do in the future. You're not really planning to travel the mortal world, are you?" Because of Mu Wan, Li Xue changed the subject, not wanting to discuss dao companion too much.

"There's nothing wrong with that, after all, it's time to temper my heart in the mortal world. But I don't have any ties to the mortal world, so I feel that tempering my heart in the mortal world won't do me any good."

"I have experienced most of the seven emotions and six desires: joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, and lust; the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought. I have gone through several great ups and downs. I would not say that my State of Mind is perfect, but it is certainly not bad."

"Now, there is only one thing weighing on my shoulders, making it hard for me to breathe."

"However, that can't be rushed; we can only wait for the right opportunity."

"So you mean you have nowhere to go?" Li Xue said with a smile, "That's perfect, I don't have anywhere to go right now either. How about I show you around?"

Shen Ge turned to look at Li Xue, a playful smile suddenly appearing on his lips, "Sister Xue, your thinking is dangerous. Caring so much about someone who already has someone else in their heart, you might end up with nothing."

"You little rascal," Li Xue chuckled, annoyed. "Always dreaming. Don't worry, I don't even think much of you. I just find it pleasant to talk to you."

Afterwards, the two left Flowing Cloud Kingdom together, and no one knows where they went.

In a desolate mountain, Lü Yang lay on the ground, covered in blood and panting heavily. The place was in a mess, and not far away lay five mangled corpses.

"Do I look like a fat sheep? Why are they targeting me specifically to rob?"

These past few years, Lü Yang has been so frustrated he's almost vomiting blood. His injuries from that incident haven't fully healed yet, and then he keeps encountering rogue Rogue Cultivator who are quite powerful, causing him to be constantly injured and needing to heal. He hasn't had a single day of peace.

"Damn it, this time my lungs are injured and I'll need to recuperate for months. Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?!"

Lü Yang staggered to his feet, collected the Storage Bag, and disappeared into the forest.

A moment later, two figures leaped to the scene. Looking at the chaotic mess and the corpses, they exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't these the Five Wolves of Wolf Mountain? I didn't expect them to perish here. It seems they chose the wrong prey this time."

"My lord, the enemy is likely quite strong. These five scoundrels are not weak, and they're notoriously cautious. Countless Rogue Cultivator have died at their hands. The two of us are no match for them. We shouldn't continue tracking them, lest we get..."

"My wife is right. Let's not chase them anymore, even if they get hurt. Let's bully the weaker ones instead."

"By the way, it seems a caravan from the Wan Household is passing through Wind City soon. Many fellow cultivators have been eager to join in the fun. Let's go and see if we can pick up some good stuff."

"It seems that the Golden Core ancestor of the Wan Household is dead. In recent years, no new Golden Core cultivators have emerged to take the lead in the Wan Household, so it's no wonder they've been targeted."

In the snow-capped mountains and plateaus of the north, a flash of lightning ripped through the sky, revealing a man and an eagle.

Meng Yan glanced at the snow mountain Flying Bear below, his eyes narrowing slightly. "All that's missing is your demon core. I've been searching so hard for you."

Flying Bear, Peak Third Tier Demon Beast, can control wind, snow, and ice. Especially on this Ice and Snow Plateau, its strength is terrifying, and ordinary Golden Core cultivators dare not conceal their power.

Meng Yan raised his hand and a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the Flying Bear's thick fur.

The polar bear, which was originally only a few meters tall, swelled to tens of meters in size in the blink of an eye after being attacked. It roared, and a blizzard immediately began to fall from the sky.

"Little guy, stop being lazy, it's your turn to do some work."

Meng Yan patted the head of the Thunder Eagle at his feet. The Thunder Eagle looked very unwilling, let out a sharp cry, and countless bolts of lightning erupted from its body. In no time, this place became a Thunder Prison.

Meng Yan nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and took out his lightning-shaped Law Treasure, infused it with his own lightning power, and then struck down.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, striking the Flying Bear and charring its snow-white fur black, even releasing a faint aroma of roasted meat.

The moment Flying Bear fell to the ground, countless snowflakes covered him, forming a thick layer of ice armor on his body.

Meng Yan raised his hand and summoned the Law Treasure back into his grasp. He chuckled and said, "Oh, this big bear isn't stupid after all; it even knows to protect itself."

A hint of disdain flashed in Thunder Eagle. He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of lightning, blasting a large hole in the thick ice armor.

Despite the fact that this giant bear is of a higher cultivation level, Thunder Eagle is not afraid of it at all. In a fight, the odds would be 70/30, with Lei Ying at 70% and the giant bear at 30%.

Within the Spirit Moon Sect, in the Heroic Spirit Grounds.

Wang Yan looked at the small grave next to the Qingyou and sighed, "Xiao Wan, Shen Ge came a few days ago. He's not dead, so you don't need to worry about him. Besides, he killed Zhang Sheng, which avenged you."

"Love, oh love, it's truly a calamity. I was even advising Shen Ge not to drag you down, but you left anyway. Xiao Wan, don't blame your senior sister for stirring things up, sigh."
