Long River Eternity

Just as Feng Hao expected, Yang Nian and his companions had all gathered at the Soldiers' Tomb, and Hao Fei and his group of four were finally about to arrive at the Soldiers' Tomb.

"I sensed it, it's just over ten kilometers ahead!" Xiaobai shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the air.

However, in response to Xiaobai's words, Hao Fei and Nvba's expressions did not fluctuate at all, and Hao Fei even showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Xiaobai, are you sure the Queen Mother of the West's spirit is just up ahead?" Hao Fei asked doubtfully, his tone tinged with fatigue and teasing. "You've been saying this for the last eight hundred times since we arrived in Dongzhou. Can't you be a little more reliable? Logically, we should have reached our destination two days ago."

Hao Fei recalled what had happened in the past few days, feeling mixed emotions and almost unable to cry.

Two days ago, Hao Fei and his four companions finally bypassed Zhongzhou and entered Dongzhou from Beizhou.

At that time, the journey was calm and the scenery along the way seemed to be singing for their smooth progress.

The sunlight shines on the road ahead, as if foreshadowing the success of this journey to explore the soul of the Queen Mother of the West.

As soon as he entered Dongzhou, Xiaobai confidently declared that he had accurately locked the location of the Queen Mother of the West's soul.

According to their pace and speed, they would reach their destination in less than half a day.

When everyone heard this, they all looked expectant.

However, fate always plays tricks on people. When they arrived at their destination with great expectations, they saw a huge tree that blocked out the sun.

The thick trunk seems like a giant of time, with lush branches and leaves that cover the sky completely.

Everyone looked at each other, and all cast doubtful eyes at Xiaobai.

Upon seeing this, Xiaobai sensed it for a moment and then said with certainty that this must be an accident. He caught the faint breath of the Queen Mother of the West's soul again in another direction.

Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, they still chose to believe Xiaobai and rushed in the new direction without stopping.

But when they arrived breathlessly, what greeted them was a huge rock that had seen the vicissitudes of time.

The surface of the boulder is covered with traces, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

Just like that, under Xiaobai's guidance, the four of them seemed to be trapped in an invisible maze, traveling within a range of hundreds of kilometers around the soldiers' tomb.

Every time I run towards something with hope, I end up with disappointment.

They seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious force and trapped in a maze. No matter how hard they tried, they could not find their real destination.

"You really can't blame me!" Xiaobai said eagerly, his face filled with dissatisfaction. "The Queen Mother's spirit must have slumbered here for so long. Over those long years, even the surrounding rocks and trees have been quietly imbued with her aura. These subtle auras intertwined and permeated the air, interfering with my perception and causing me to make the mistake."

After a brief pause, Xiaobai patted his chest again and said with absolute certainty, "But I can guarantee that this time it's absolutely true! This time, the induction signal is stronger than any before, like a bright light suddenly lit in the darkness, clear and undeniable. So I am certain that what I sensed this time must be the Queen Mother!"

Hao Fei sighed softly, his expression filled with helplessness, and slowly said, "Forget it. In this situation, there is really no other way except to go with you. Let's go."

Xiaobai snorted lightly, raised her head proudly, and said in an urging tone: "Since you understand it in your heart, don't talk too much, hurry up!" After that, she rushed forward at high speed, like a stream of white light, and quickly flew towards the direction of the soldiers' tomb.

"Hey! You, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan. Did I give you face?" Hao Fei was inexplicably offended and looked unhappy. He quickly chased after Xiaobai.

Nüba and Yue looked at each other, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

Along the way, Hao and Xiaobai's bickering with each other has become a daily routine for the two of them.

Nvba and Yue shook their heads helplessly and had to quicken their pace to chase in the direction where Hao Fei and Xiaobai were going.

Inside the soldiers' tomb, there was silence, yet a hidden sense of tension.

Liu Xianxian lay there quietly, still not waking up from her coma.

Li Huan sat on one side, holding the "Immortal Secret" taught by Xing Tian in his hand, his eyes moving back and forth between the pages and Wei Wu and Chu Tianxiao not far away.

While she was immersed in the mysteries of the martial arts, she was also paying attention to the competition between the two.

Wei Wu stood tall and straight, his aura powerful. He had been striving to master the mastery realm that Shi Gang had left within his perfect body.

Now, he was only one step away from truly unleashing the might of the Domination Realm at will. The immense power hidden within him was like a volcano about to erupt, poised to erupt at any moment.

Looking at Chu Tianxiao again, after these few days of hard work and practice, he has successfully broken through to the middle stage of Tianquan Realm.

However, compared to Wei Wu, the gap in their cultivation was like an insurmountable chasm. Under normal circumstances, even if Wei Wu tried his best to suppress his own cultivation, Chu Tianxiao would never be able to survive more than three moves under his hand.

However, Chu Tianxiao's progress during this period was so rapid that it was simply amazing.

At first, facing Wei Wu's attack, he had no power to fight back and could only run for his life; later, he gradually adapted to Wei Wu's rhythm and could actually hold out against Wei Wu's offensive for a cup of tea; and now, he has held out against Wei Wu's fierce attack for almost an incense stick of time.

Although Chu Tianxiao was always in a passive defensive state and rarely had the opportunity to fight back, he used his defense to the extreme.

Each block was perfectly timed, as precise as a machine with precise calculations, meticulous and accurate. His body flexed and dovetailed under Wei Wu's attacks, each movement full of rhythm, as if dancing with Wei Wu's attacks.

"You're amazing, Old Chu! Almost an incense stick of time has passed, and you haven't revealed any flaws. I can't find any entry point for attack." Wei Wujiang repelled Chu Tianxiao and couldn't help but praise him.

Although Chu Tianxiao was repelled, he was not seriously injured. His excitement was beyond words: "The Xuanyuan Neijing is truly a remarkable achievement! It allows me to mobilize the energy in my body to the extreme. I feel like every cell in my body is active in this battle and playing a unique role."

The Xuanyuan Neijing and the ultimate martial arts practiced by Feng Hao are like two completely different extremes.

People who practice extreme martial arts are like wealthy businessmen who constantly make money and accumulate wealth crazily. With endless resources, they live a rich and worry-free life.

Practicing the "Xuanyuan Neijing" is like an ordinary person who is thrifty. Although he does not have much money, he spends every penny wisely and never wastes a single cent. This can also make his life stable and worry-free.

"It seems that the strength at the peak of Tianquan Realm can no longer pose a threat to you. Then I have to add some spice to this battle." Wei Wu raised his lips with a sly smirk. In an instant, the energy around him surged like a surging tide. Electric arcs jumped and flowed around him, making crackling sounds.

Before Chu Tianxiao could react, Wei Wu turned into a sharp bolt of lightning and disappeared in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Chu Tianxiao like a ghost, so fast that he was impossible to guard against.

The palm with the power of thunder and lightning, like a ghost in the dark night, appeared silently less than a foot away from Chu Tianxiao.

The flickering electric arc emitted a terrifying burning and numb feeling, which invaded Chu Tianxiao's senses bit by bit.

Chu Tianxiao was horrified and hurriedly mobilized all the energy in his body, trying to retreat quickly to avoid the fatal blow.

However, Wei Wu's pursuing figure followed, and the palm flashing with electric arcs seemed to be given life, always swaying in front of Chu Tianxiao, and the distance between the two was getting closer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, Chu Tianxiao poured all his energy into retreating and had no time to take other defensive or counterattack measures. He could only watch the attack with a strong aura approaching step by step, his heart full of despair.

Just when Wei Wu's palm was about to touch Chu Tianxiao, a powerful force suddenly came from Chu Tianxiao's back, like a pair of invisible big hands, suddenly pulling him backwards.

This force was just right, allowing Chu Tianxiao to completely escape from Wei Wu's attack range.

Immediately afterwards, Li Huan took a step out from behind Chu Tianxiao, his posture as agile as a cheetah.

She shouted loudly and threw a punch. This punch condensed all her strength and momentum. Like a meteor, with an indomitable momentum, it collided firmly with Wei Wu's palm.

"Bang!" A loud noise like thunder echoed throughout the soldiers' tomb, shaking the surrounding air.

The blue lightning and the black energy unique to the "Hundred Death Fist" collided violently between the two, shining brightly, like a gorgeous and dangerous fireworks feast.

After the collision, the two retreated simultaneously. Although Wei Wujiang's cultivation was suppressed to the early stage of the Tianji Realm, he only took one step back, his steps as steady as a rock, as if they had taken root.

However, Li Huan, who was in the middle stage of Tianji Realm, retreated five steps, leaving a deep footprint on the ground with each step, and his body staggered a little.

Obviously, even if Wei Wu had only displayed the cultivation level of the early Tianji Realm, his strength was already far superior to Li Huan.

"This body is really abnormal! If I hadn't practiced the "Immortal Art" and had already gained some knowledge of it, this arm would have been mostly disabled." Li Huan muttered to himself as he moved his arm, which still had a few flickering arcs of electricity on it and felt a faint sense of numbness.

Then, she opened her eyes wide, glared at Wei Wu, and asked loudly, "Chu Tianxiao is no match for someone in the middle stage of the Heavenly Power Realm, yet you actually used the power of the Heavenly Mystery Realm to resist him? You are too shameless!"

Wei Wu grinned nonchalantly and said, "I just wanted to explore the limits of the Xuanyuan Neijing. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. How could I let Old Chu get hurt? Look at how nervous you are."

"Hmph," Li Huan raised her eyebrows and snorted softly, "If you dare to hurt him, I will never forgive you!"

Before, Chu Tianxiao was seriously injured and dying in order to protect her. That scene was like a deep engraving, seared into her heart.

Now, she cares particularly about Chu Tianxiao. He has become the most precious thing in her life, and she is afraid that he will be hurt in the slightest.

At this time, Chu Tianxiao slowly stepped forward and gently held Li Huan's hand. His eyes were tense and concerned. He looked at her carefully and asked softly, "Is your hand okay?"

Li Huan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and replied softly: "It's okay."

At this moment, she was completely different from her domineering appearance just now. She was like a flower gently swaying in the spring breeze, showing her gentleness and grace.

Wei Wu looked at Li Huan's transformation and couldn't help but recall her previous attitude towards him. He sighed helplessly, "Alas, women, they change their attitudes faster than turning the pages of a book."

Li Huan glanced at Wei Wu playfully and said teasingly, "Humph, I gave you a chance back then, but you didn't know how to seize it. It's too late to regret it now."

Wei Wu shrugged and said half-jokingly, "Thank you. Let's leave this opportunity to Old Chu."

The two of them were exchanging sharp words, and the atmosphere was so heated that it seemed to be on fire.

At this time, Yang Nian, who had been sitting aside silently recovering his cultivation, suddenly had slight ripples in the spiritual power that had been flowing smoothly around him.

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her deep eyes for an instant, and a low "Hmm?" came out of her throat unconsciously.

Although the sound was soft, it was like an invisible command. The two people who were bickering, as well as Chu Tianxiao who was trying to stop them, were all attracted by the noise. They subconsciously thought that their quarrel had disturbed Yang Nian's practice.

So, the three of them shut their mouths at the same time, and their nervous eyes were all cast towards Yang Nian. It was so quiet that even each other's breathing could be heard clearly.

Yang Nian lowered his head slightly, opened his lips and murmured to himself, "They are back!" There was a hint of expectation and excitement in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

The voice was still lingering in the air, but Yang Nian's figure had disappeared like a ghost, leaving only a slight air flow fluctuation, as if telling what had just happened.
