The Path Toward Heaven

Zhao Layue came out of the Green Mountain formation with her sword, and she could see fiery mangroves on the ground.

The farther you go north, the richer the color of the earth, and the forests are all dyed.

However, going further north, the colors gradually become monotonous again, and the scenery gradually becomes desolate.

Autumn followed and deepened.

Coming to the edge of the snow field, Baicheng has become a white city, covered with snow.

She didn't land in the city, but went to the courtyard on the edge of the snow field.

More than a hundred years ago, the queen of the snow country was pregnant with a child, and the snowfield was in chaos. Many young practitioners who participated in the Meihui fell into it, including Bai Zao and Jing Jiu.

Powerful people from various sects came to help, and built many courtyards here overnight, and these courtyards have remained until now.

These courtyards will be repaired every once in a while, so they don't look dilapidated. You can occasionally see plum blossoms and green pines in the snow, which is very beautiful.

Zhao Layue landed in a courtyard, He Zhan came out to welcome her, and smiled slightly at her.

It has not been seen for a hundred years, these once young geniuses have grown into real powerhouses.

Zhao Layue has entered the Pohai Realm, and He Zhan has fought hard in the snow field for a hundred years, and also practiced the skills of the two holy places of Shuiyue Temple and Guocheng Temple, which is no worse than her.

The sound of bowls and chopsticks breaking suddenly sounded in the kitchen behind the courtyard. Zhao Layue looked slightly different and glanced at He Zhan.

He Zhan covered his face and said, She is learning how to cook recently.

...

...

For a young lady of the Xuanling Sect like Sese, cooking is the most difficult thing in the world, and it is countless times more difficult than refining the Qingxin Bell.

But if you are cooking hot pot, you can barely eat it.

The steaming mist rises in the yard and is blown away by the cold wind.

The three of them sat around the table, and the dishes were filled with ordinary mutton and tofu, but the real precious ones were the vegetables brought all the way from Juye City.

Sese calmed down from the surprise of reuniting with Zhao Layue, looked at her and asked with concern: How is he now?

Zhao Layue lowered her head and finished eating the meat on the plate, then raised her head and said calmly, I didn't go to Chaoge City.

Sese and He Zhan looked at each other, a little surprised, thinking what's going on?

In the name of Zhao Layue's relationship with Jing Jiu, she didn't go to see him immediately after leaving customs, but came to Xueyuan, which is somewhat problematic.

There must be something hidden, it's not convenient to ask, Sese lowered her head and started eating meat, the atmosphere at the table became a little weird.

Knowing that they had misunderstood, Zhao Layue asked, How is Xueyuan doing recently?

He Zhan said: After the great battle, the queen must have suffered some injuries, and sent a large number of snow monsters to the south. If the snowfield goes deep, the pressure will be greater, but the situation of Baicheng and the side wall is much better than in previous years. There has been no beast tide for more than a hundred years. Now it seems that nothing will happen in the next few decades.

Zhao Layue asked: How is the sword master now?

He Zhan shook his head and said: His injury is extremely serious, and he has not fully recovered after decades of care. He is still unable to make a move in a short period of time. In the spring of next year, Chanzi will come here from Chaoge City.

After Lian Sanyue died, a bright knife light rushed out of the small temple behind Baicheng and entered the deepest part of the snow field.

The battle between the Sword Master and the Queen of the Snow Country lasted for ten years.

This battle was truly earth-shattering and heroic.

Countless people came to the periphery of the snowfield to watch the battle. Although they couldn't see the real picture of the depths of the snowfield, they could see the collapsed black mountains and the snow fog that rose into the sky and reached the sky.

During those ten years, the earthquakes in Xueyuan never stopped.

In this battle, Dao Sheng showed a powerful and incredible fighting power and an almost crazy fighting spirit.

Probably only Liu Ci and Lian Sanyue's last battle before leaving the world can be compared.

The only difference is that the sword sage did not die, and dragged his seriously injured body back to the small temple on the back mountain of Baicheng.

...

...

The commander of the Shenwei Northern Army was killed by Jing Jiu in the imperial palace of Chaoge City. The Zhongzhou faction still has a very strong and deep influence in the military.

In the past few decades after the sword saint was seriously injured, the wind knife sect has been under great pressure from the Northern Army of the Divine Guard, and a lot of the area of ​​control it once had was swallowed up.

In particular, with the support of the Zhongzhou faction, the Kunlun faction is gaining momentum. There have been many conflicts with the Fengdao sect in Lengshanli, and it has not been possible to tell the winner for the time being.

The two parties agreed to conduct a competition at the former site of Lieyang Gorge next spring to determine the ownership of Leng Shan.

This competition was divided into five games, which was obviously the contest between the Qingshan sect and the Zhongzhou sect in Chaoge City a hundred years ago.

As for why it will be next spring, it is naturally because at that time the Green Mountain Sect will elect a new head.

This is also what He Zhan can't understand.

Jing Jiu hadn't woken up yet, and the head of Qingshan was about to change hands. Why did Zhao Layue come to Xueyuan?

My realm is a little unstable and I need some fighting.

Zhao Layue gave her own explanation, but He Zhan and Sese felt that the reason was more than that.

...

...

It is not the first time for Zhao Layue to come to the snowfield, but this is the first time to enter the snowfield.

Before entering the snow field, she first went to the temple behind Baicheng.

Back then, she and Guo Dong had waited for Jing Jiu in this temple for a long time, and after Guo Dong left, she waited for a long time until the whole city was covered with pear blossoms, and then she broke her hair and left.

She came to the temple and stood in front of the Buddha, her short hair was blown like weeds by the wind.

This Buddha was originally a golden Buddha. I don't know if it's because of more than a hundred years or other reasons. The golden paint has peeled off a lot, exposing the reddish mud embryo inside, which looks a bit bleak.

The three-foot-long iron knife in front of the Buddha is also slightly bent, and the most terrifying thing is that there is a huge gap in the middle.

One can imagine how fierce the battle between the Sword Master and the Snow Queen was, and how terrifying the Queen was.

She had been sitting on the threshold of this temple for a year, and the two were considered acquaintances, so she asked directly, How are you?

The round but missing voice sounded slowly: I can't die.

Zhao Layue thought to herself that there were obviously more gaps in this voice than in the past, and even if she couldn't die, it would be difficult to heal.

The sword sage asked: Are you going into the snowfield?

Zhao Layue repeated the reasons she told He Zhan and Sese.

Don't argue with her.

The voice disappeared for a while before it sounded again.

Zhao Layue raised her eyebrows and said, I don't understand what you mean.

You have already broken through the sea realm at such an age. You are indeed talented and willed. You are definitely not inferior to her back then. But if you want to kill the Queen of the Snow Country and end the disaster of the human race, it is not something you can do alone. She can't do it, and you can't do it either.

Dao Sheng said: She insisted on doing this back then, just wanting to compete with Jingyang. Facts have proved that this is wrong. We should not compete with people, we must compete with the sky.

Zhao Layue said calmly: I'm not that stupid, I don't even want to be her in Sanyue.

The thick laughter echoed in the small temple, like the sound of bells.

Dao Sheng understood what she meant.

She didn't want to be the second Lian Sanyue, even if she looked a little like it, because she didn't want to be Jing Jiu's substitute.

Probably for this reason, she cut her hair short.

Back then, she wanted to gather a group of strong men to enter the snowfield to kill the queen. She even made plans on Qingshan Yinfeng and Yunmeng Houshan, but no one paid attention to her except me and Pei Baifa.

The sword sage said: Jingyang's answer is the best, that is, after that time, they have been strangers since then.

Zhao Layue asked, How did he answer?

The sword saint said: Don't disturb my ascension.

...

...

The small temple became quiet.

Even Zhao Layue felt that Jingyang's answer back then was too indifferent and boring.

The Swordsman sighed: A person like Jingyang will work hard for her in this life. She should be very happy.

Zhao Layue said: But how can he be happy when she is gone? You and I still have to live.

Sword Saint said: As expected of Jingyang's true successor, he has the same idea.

So don't worry about me.

After Zhao Layue finished speaking, she flew the sword into the depths of the snow field.

Firth sword held back her blood, because she didn't want to disturb too many people, and she didn't want to disturb the person deep in the snow field.
