C1196 Woman in the Lake
The vast amount of spiritual energy was like a divine spring, gathering within the Nine Star Immortal Spiritual Array. The spiritual energy that had condensed into a mist was blocked off by the nine soaring beams of light. They could only enter and not leak out.
Cold Alliance and the rest, who were in the middle of the array, greedily absorbed the rich energy.
Just as everyone was focusing on entering the cultivation state, Han Chen opened his eyes and woke up.
Or perhaps it could be said that Han Chen had never calmed his heart down.
Han Chen stood up and walked to the edge of the stone platform. Through the ethereal mist of spirit energy, he looked far ahead at the mountain peaks and creeks.
Han Chen's mind was in a mess, so much so that he could not calm down.
As long as he closed his eyes, Ferghana's smiling face and voice would appear in his mind. At the same time, there was also Qing Ying's words that sounded like 'sharp blades'.
In the eyes of Qing Ying, or even the absolute female geniuses, Han Chen was not worthy of Fei Yan.
As the chosen one of the Heaven's End Saint, Fa Yan had a bright future ahead of her. In fact, many years later, Fei Yan would have the highest status and power in the Heaven's End Women.
The distance between her and Han Chen would only grow further and further, so much so that it would be unimaginable.
"Hu!"
Han Chen let out a deep sigh, and a few fretful expressions emerged on his face. He didn't know when it happened, but what he was about to face had never stopped. One thing after another, it was like there was no end to it.
At this time, a pair of soft jade hands came out from behind Han Chen and embraced his body.
Han Chen couldn't help but be startled, and immediately after, leaned into a warm and soft embrace.
"Xue Xi, you …"
"Don't say anything. Let's just rely on it for a while!" Xue Xi's voice was as gentle as water and very comfortable when heard it.
Han Chen didn't say much and gently leaned into the other party's embrace. He could clearly smell the faint fragrance of fresh hair on Xue Xi's body.
Slowly, the irritation in Han Chen's heart calmed down.
At this moment, Han Chen felt a heart that he had never felt before. It gave his heart an indescribable sense of assurance.
The two of them continued to embrace quietly. After who knows how long had passed, Han Chen opened his eyes, released the arms of the two, and turned to look at Xue Xi's beautiful face.
Faint ripples surfaced in Xue Xi's beautiful eyes, like shallow waves on the surface of a water surface.
The distance between the two was so close that they could feel each other's breathing. Han Chen slowly leaned his face over, and gently pressed his warm lips against Xue Xi's soft red lips.
The two did not linger on for too long. After all, not far from them were the people from Cold Alliance in a state of cultivation.
If someone woke up at this moment, it would be awkward.
Xue Xi's face flushed red. She raised her eyes and looked at Han Chen, saying, "No matter what happens, I will never leave you. Before, now, or in the future, I loved you. "
This was the first time Xue Xi opened her heart to Han Chen and revealed her feelings.
Han Chen's heart felt warm, his face revealed a knowing smile, and he replied seriously, "No matter what happens, I will not let you leave me. Before, now, or even in the future, I loved you. "
Xue Xi also laughed, her laugh was extremely satisfied.
Although Han Chen's' love 'was divided into many parts. Not only did it belong to her, but Xue Xi was also satisfied.
"Do what you want!" Xue Xi said gently.
"Hmm?"
Han Chen raised his brows. So it turned out that this intelligent woman with a pure heart had long since seen through everything. Although she had never revealed his true feelings, she had always supported the people she loved from the bottom of her heart.
Currently, the thing that Han Chen wanted to do the most was to go to the Buddha Sect's main headquarters, the Thunderclap Temple, to obtain more power.
Although Han Chen was not sure if there was anything he wanted in the Thunder Temple, his subconscious told him that if he wanted to become stronger, he had to go there.
Han Chen had never neglected the pursuit of power.
Especially after had "humiliated" her with his words, Han Chen had yearned for even more power.
But for now. It was difficult for the rest of the Cold Alliance to pass through the outer regions of the Primordial Buddha luminescence. If they were to wait for them to advance together, it was unknown how long it would take.
Therefore, at present, the best choice was for Han Chen to head there alone.
"There's a Nine Star Immortal Spiritual Array here, it's a good place for us to settle down."
"Xue Xi's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. She lifted her soft eyes and caressed Han Chen's face with her jade hands. I only want to ask one thing from you, and that is to be able to think about me, Shen Yu, and Fiery Mist when you are in danger. "I hope you can leave alive and return safely. That is the only request I have!"
When he received the warmth in Xue Xi's eyes, Han Chen's heart seemed to melt. She involuntarily hugged Xue Xi tightly once more.
"I will be safe and sound."
"En!" Xue Xi nodded her head lightly, and a slight smile formed on her delicate lips.
A moment later, Han Chen slightly calmed his mood, and then prepared to go to Thunderchant Temple by himself.
Everyone was cultivating, but they could only wait for Xue Xi to explain after they awoken.
"Oh right, Xue Xi, you can give this' Great Nirvana Pill 'to Shen Yu when the time comes."
Han Chen took out a round pellet and handed it over to him. The Great Nirvana Pellet was the pellet he had obtained at the bottom of the netherworld. There were a total of twenty pills, which, according to Han Chen's budget, each person would get one pill each.
He had forgotten to give it to Shen Yu previously, she would ask Xue Xi to pass it to her now.
"I know." Xue Xi received the pill and nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Remember what I said, be careful."
"En!"
Han Chen solemnly agreed. His gaze stopped on Shen Yu for a moment, and after that, he moved as a streak of light, leaving the vicinity of the Nine Star Immortal Spiritual Formation, and disappeared into the horizon.
Xue Xi watched as Han Chen left the entire time, standing in place without moving for a long time.
At the outer area of the Thunderchant Temple, the Buddhist headquarters was surrounded by mountains. The mountain ranges rose and fell, and the Holy Light shone everywhere.
A dazzling golden radiance descended like a divine light, as if it was a divine land.
At this time, Han Chen had already left the area of the Nine Star Immortal Spiritual Formation for half a day. He was like a bird out of its cage, quickly shuttling through the forest.
In this vast mountain forest, there were many powerful vicious beasts.
These vicious beasts had long since adapted to the pressure of the buddhist light in the sky. Their movements were unrestricted and basically unaffected.
As for the ferocious beasts that were hiding in the forest, some would attack Han Chen as if he was an intruder.
At the beginning, the fierce beasts he had encountered did not give Han Chen much trouble. On the other hand, the further one got, the stronger the beasts they would encounter would be, and there were quite a few beasts at the ninth stage of the long habitat.
In order to avoid being seen as a target of fierce beasts in the air, Han Chen chose to travel through the forest, in order to reduce the degree of risk.
"Bam!"
A muffled explosion could be heard as a hundred-meter-tall giant horned ape fell to the ground with a loud bang. Crimson blood spurted out of its body as it struggled on the ground for a few moments before it stopped moving.
"Whoosh!"
The Sky Sword emitted a crisp metallic sound in the air as a trace of blood flowed down the sword blade. Han Chen looked at the deep and dark forest in front of him, and secretly shook his head, "This journey to the Buddha's headquarters is truly filled with difficulties, I really don't know what the situation at the Thunder Temple is like."
Han Chen looked around vigilantly, and continued forward.
"Huh?" Zhong Li suddenly let out a surprised sound.
Han Chen was startled, and asked puzzledly: "Senior, what's wrong?"
"Nothing? It's just that I feel a sense of unfamiliarity, so there's no need to pay any attention to him. Just mind your own business. "
"En!"
Han Chen nodded and without further questions, he left the place.
Before long, the aura of a strong fierce beast was once again caught by Han Chen. And this time, it was not only one fierce beast, but many.
What was going on?
Could it be that he had broken into the den of berserk beasts?
Han Chen became alert, holding onto the Sky Sword, the martial force in his body started to circulate, carefully and cautiously moving in the forest.
Even though the berserk beasts' auras were very close, they didn't come out to attack for a long time. This confused Han Chen, hence he became even more cautious.
After walking forward for a few dozen meters, a lake suddenly appeared in Han Chen's line of sight.
It was a medium-sized lake about a thousand meters long and wide. It was surrounded by trees on all four sides. The water was clear and rippling. In the center of the lake, there was a figure wearing a white skirt floating in the air.
A woman floating on the water?
Han Chen was immediately stumped for words, this scene was truly a little strange. However, Han Chen was able to quickly observe that although the woman was floating in the middle of the lake, her clothes and hair were not stained with the slightest amount of water. Moreover, her body was exuding an exuberant aura of life.
In addition, there was a slight distortion and trembling in the space around the woman. With her as the center, ripples spread out in all directions.
All these signs indicated that the other party was most likely practicing some kind of strange cultivation technique.
"Don't tell me …"
Without waiting for Han Chen to react, his face instantly revealed a few expressions of astonishment. He saw that a colossus had suddenly appeared in the forest to the south of the lake.
It was a thirty-meter-tall, ugly ape with three heads and six arms.
The scarlet red fur all over his body looked as if it had been dyed in blood. His mouth was full of sharp teeth that flashed with a sharp light. His ice-cold eyes looked at the young lady in the lake and were filled with a human-like evilness.
A vicious beast with a long habitat of the ninth level!
Han Chen's heart skipped a beat, before he could understand what was happening, from the forest on the other side, another black shadow appeared.
