Chapter 525 Mu Dao Blessed Land
Chapter 525 Mu Dao Blessed Land
"This is my first time visiting a temple. Can you tell me what's in the temple?" Shen Xu asked Xiao Feng.
"But you haven't told me about what's happening outside yet?"
"Really? What do you want to hear?" Shen Xu smiled awkwardly.
"I want to hear whatever's going on outside?"
"There are many things out there... By the way, do you know Aoki?"
Xiao Feng shook his head.
"Alright! Let me tell you Aoki's story! Maybe you'll see her again someday."
"Is she very capable?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.
"Of course, it's no exaggeration to say that if she sneezes, the whole city of Baihua will be shaken."
"Wow! That's amazing! I want to hear her story!"
"Well! Before I tell you this story, I need to give you some basic knowledge. Since you know that the City of Flowers is right outside the temple, do you know who governs the City of Flowers...?"
……
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xu felt his mouth was dry, and seeing the increasingly bright eyes of the girl in front of him, he couldn't bring himself to say that he didn't want to talk anymore.
"Why did you stop talking? What happened next?" the little girl asked anxiously.
"I'm a little thirsty, could you get me some water?"
"Okay! What would you like to drink?" Xiao Feng immediately stood up, seemingly not wanting to waste any time.
"Ordinary snowmelt will suffice." He wanted to test whether the water from the temple would be more effective for the love flower.
"How is the spring water in the courtyard outside? We usually drink from there."
"Okay!"
"You're not allowed to leave. You have to wait for me." The little girl looked at him with eyes full of distrust.
"Don't worry, I'm waiting for someone here, I won't leave easily."
After the little girl left, Shen Xu looked at the side hall that Qu Lan had entered. Bai Qi said that placing the ashes would not take much time, but quite a bit of time had passed. Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get up and walk to the door of the side hall. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to wait a little longer, since it was not yet the agreed time.
It's best for him to behave himself for the time being when he's on someone else's turf.
Standing before the goddess statue once more, gazing at her face, Shen Xu slowly closed his eyes.
He could not find where the love flower that Li Linghui had planted in him was, and he could not find anything unusual about it, either on his body or in his soul.
But he was affected by the love flower, and Li Linghui was even able to make him faint when he wasn't paying attention, which was simply unreasonable.
Today, he discovered a trace of the scent of love flower in the flowers held by the goddess statue…
With his consciousness immersed in his soul, Shen Xu visualized Li Linghui's appearance in his mind.
Without any warning, he suddenly felt an endless longing for Li Linghui, and the desire to see her immediately began to erode his reason.
Shen Xu lightly flicked his tongue, and a crystal lotus appeared on his brow, emitting bursts of clear light that continuously suppressed the desires in his heart.
Gradually, specks of red flame began to emanate from his side, each speck resembling an eerie, blooming red flower.
At this moment, the flower in the goddess statue seemed to sense the change in him and began to respond to the change in him, constantly changing its shape, and finally solidified into an ice-blue flame.
The petals, layer upon layer, scattered starlight, reflecting on the goddess's compassionate face, which even appeared somewhat sensual.
Deep within the void of Shen Xu's soul, the black seed suddenly erupted from the cracks in its shell, releasing a large amount of soul-gray mist that completely enveloped his body.
……
When Shen Xu opened his eyes again, a vast and boundless emerald forest, brimming with vitality and spiritual energy, suddenly appeared before him.
The towering, massive mountain is covered by countless ancient, gnarled trees with intertwined roots, their canopies layered like waves of a blue sea, surging straight to the sky.
The entire mountain exudes a warm, earthy pulse and a vast life force. Visible pale blue spiritual mist flows and rises among the mountains like breath, nourishing all things.
The abundant energy, so concentrated that it almost condenses into liquid dewdrops, drips from the tips of millions of leaves, converging into babbling streams, and then into a magnificent waterfall, like a silver ribbon cascading down a sheer cliff, refracting a rainbow in the sunlight.
Countless vines as thick as giant pythons, blooming with flowers of various colors, intertwine in the forest to form a fantastical aerial corridor.
An endless sea of spiritual flowers spreads across forest clearings, along stream banks, and even on the branches of giant trees.
The changing seasons fail here; flowers bloom eternally, regardless of the season. Golden sunflowers are like molten gold splashed on the ground, and cold star orchids are like ice crystals falling to earth. The rosy clouds and rainbows weave a flowing brocade.
There are also countless exotic flowers and plants that have never been heard of before, breathing in the glow of the sunset and swaying gracefully.
Gentle deer are devouring fallen petals, their fur as brocade and their feathers shimmering with light, while seven-colored sparrows flutter among the treetops, and spirited "wood spirits" frolic among the ancient trees...
Shen Xu was so shocked by the scene before him that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"This is the Goddess Peak before it was frozen!" Shen Xu was shocked.
In his view, even Tianjian Mountain could not compare to the Goddess Peak before him; this place could be described as a true blessed land for the wood way.
He had previously been skeptical of the prophecy, but now he truly believes that the returning goddess is qualified to become a saint.
Suddenly, the scene before his eyes began to change, rising higher and higher, heading straight for the top of Goddess Peak, while he was completely unable to move and lost all control over his consciousness.
Only then did he realize that the scene before him was probably not what he had seen, but rather what someone else had seen and heard.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to sense the state of mind of the memory's owner, a state of indifference that was like a still well, without any waves, regarding all things as straw dogs.
This raised another question for him: if he was not mistaken, he was able to see the scene from thousands of years ago because of the Love Flower, then whose memory was he seeing?
Is she another possessor of the Love Flower? Or perhaps a goddess?
As Shen Xu approached the area near the summit of Goddess Peak, a suspended blessed land, seemingly purified by divine power, appeared before his eyes.
It was a huge, suspended platform surrounded by vines and mist, like a giant "flower calyx" that grew naturally from the mountain, with evergreen vines hanging down its edges and strange flowers that never wither.
Among them are numerous palaces that have been naturally grown, woven, and shaped by spiritual vines, ancient tree branches, and flowing spiritual springs.
The roof is made of huge, transparent crystal flowers and leaves pieced together naturally, with branches extending into a dome. The green leaves are like jade glazed tiles, reflecting a seven-colored halo under the sunlight.
A winding stream meanders through the palaces, forming small ponds and waterways that nourish the exotic flowers within.
Countless drops of primordial liquid fell like rain, converging into a clear spring along the veins of the leaves on the roof, enveloping the entire blessed land in a misty primordial fog, just like a true sacred land of wood.
In the center of the palace is a spring brimming with endless vitality. At the spring's source grows a white lotus, and at the lotus's heart, light flickers like a miniature star.
For some reason, he felt that the white lotus resembled a crystal lotus.
