Northern Star Territory.
The ruins of Yaowang Palace.
Back then, Yaowang City here was once a famous holy land for alchemy and medicine. It was adjacent to the coast of the North Sea and governed a territory of thousands of miles. There were many villages and tribes in the territory, with a population of one million.
Countless continental forces are jealous and envious, and many cultivators also come here to stay, hoping to trade various elixirs with the Medicine King Palace.
There are even many forces that have dedicated liaisons in Yaowang City who are responsible for all trade between their own forces and Yaowang Palace.
However, a catastrophe ten years ago turned this Yaowang City, which had stood on the shores of the North Sea for hundreds of years, into ruins in an instant.
There are ruins everywhere in the city. Among the chaotic rubble and decayed wooden beams, there are overgrown weeds and moss. A few wild flowers are dotted among them, swaying in the wind.
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing the low forest branches and leaves to sway crazily. Through the chaotic branches and leaves, one could vaguely see a dilapidated house at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
When I walked through the waist-deep grass and came to the door of the house, I saw an old stone house hidden among the grass and ancient trees.
The courtyard is filled with wooden herb racks, and the baskets on the racks contain a variety of herbs. The herbs are all still fresh. It is obvious that they have just been picked not long ago.
Suddenly, a delicate woman's sobs came from the side room in the courtyard, but she didn't know who it was, and she was crying so sadly.
I only heard her choked with sobs.
"Brother Yan, Master, she is dying. Should we take her to the royal city to find a doctor?"
"Xiao Meng, have you forgotten? We are the best doctors. Besides, her old lady is not suffering from diseases, but she is old and exhausted. Life, old age, illness and death cannot be undone by human power."
A young man and woman stood in the room.
The girl was wearing a turquoise soft gauze dress, with shoulders as sharp as a willow and a waist as soft as a willow tree. Her body was as light as a willow tree. Her big, bright eyes were filled with tears. She was holding on to a dying person. In front of the dying old man's bed, his delicate body was trembling due to excessive sadness, which made people feel particularly pitiful.
The young man standing behind her was tall and handsome, with a pair of piercing eyes under his thick sword-shaped eyebrows. However, his complexion was a little pale, and he was wearing a black suit. The gown looks a bit mismatched, the contrast is strong, and it makes people feel a bit cold.
These two people are Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng. Ever since Yu Wenyan escaped from the cave in the forbidden area of Yaowang Palace more than half a year ago, he and Xuan Meng have come to live here together.
However, Xuanmeng's master's health deteriorated rapidly in less than half a year.
She is already in her old age. If it were not for her proficiency in pharmacology and proper care, she would never have lived such a long life.
However, mortal life was still unable to resist the erosion of time, and finally came to its end.
...
On the hillside outside the house, in a short grave, are the lives that have passed away, but in Xuan Meng's heart, the memory of the master and himself being dependent on each other, but extremely fulfilling and happy, will always be preserved.
Two lines of crystal tears streaked down Xuan Meng's pure and moving cheeks. She stood up slowly, looked at the other side of the mountain from a distance, and suddenly asked.
"Brother Yan, are we still going home?"
"Home? Is that still our home?"
Yu Wenyan followed Xuan Meng's gaze and looked toward the other side of the mountain.
Because the other side of the mountain belongs to the Northern Star Territory. They were sent here from the palace in the Northern Star Territory ten years ago, and there is no way to go back.
Yu Wenyan said in a cold tone.
"Maybe he thought I was already dead!"
"Then where will we go from now on?"
Xuan Meng looked at Yu Wenyan in confusion. She had not had her own thoughts since she was a child. She had been taken by the princess by her side since she could remember.
Later, the princess asked her to follow Yu Wenyan to Yaowang Palace, and told Xuan Meng that she had to listen to Yu Wenyan in everything. Xuan Meng had no objection and followed Yu Wenyan.
Because, in her heart, there were two people she could trust in the world, but now there is only one left. Therefore, wherever Yu Wenyan goes, she will follow him.
Yu Wenyan walked up to Xuan Meng, his eyes becoming soft and warm.
"Since he doesn't want me anymore, I don't want to go back to the Northern Star Territory!"
Xuan Meng suddenly looked strange and asked timidly.
"Brother Yan, will you no longer want me one day?"
Yu Wenyan looked at Xuan Meng's pitiful look, and felt sad in his heart. He suddenly hugged Xuan Meng into his arms and said softly.
"No, Xiaomeng, you will always be mine."
"Brother Yan, where will we go from now on?"
Xuan Meng in his arms asked in a tone as thin as a gossamer.
Yu Wenyan looked up at the sky in the distance and said firmly to Xuan Meng.
"Now that I am able to practice, and with the help of my master, the world is so big, we can go wherever we want!"
"Well, wherever Brother Yan goes, Xiao Meng will go!"
Xuan Meng looked at Yu Wenyan with satisfaction.
She could feel Yu Wenyan's friendship for her. Although Yu Wenyan's words were what she wanted to hear, she never dared to speak. She was afraid that if she didn't get the answer she wanted, then for her, It will be worse than death.
Xuan Meng always regarded herself as Yu Wenyan's maid, because that was what the princess told her back then.
However, a maid can be abandoned by her master. Xuan Meng has known this since she was a child. She has been living a life of fear and has no sense of security in her heart.
Nowadays, the only person she can trust is Yu Wenyan, so what she fears most is that Yu Wenyan abandons her and doesn't want her!
Especially now, Xuanmeng's worry is even stronger.
"Brother Yan, you are so powerful now, I'm afraid many girls will like you in the future, and you will forget me by then."
As Xuan Meng spoke, he inadvertently showed a look of loss, which was heartbreaking.
Yu Wenyan held Xuan Meng's delicate shoulders with both hands and said.
"Xiaomeng, you were good to me, I will keep it in my heart, and I will never let you leave me as long as I live!"
Xuan Meng was satisfied when he heard what Yu Wenyan said, and his little face was filled with happiness.
Yu Wenyan's promise was more important to her than her own life, and she couldn't help but hug Yu Wenyan's arms.
It seems that there are only two of them in the world, and there are only two of them left...
Yu Wenyan understood Xuan Meng's worries, and then spoke to her seriously.
"Xiaomeng, your master is over a hundred years old, but she still cannot get rid of the fate of a mortal being limited. After all, she turned into a wisp of dust. Therefore, I don't want to have to stay with you for a hundred years."
Xuan Meng was quite curious when he heard what Yu Wenyan said, and asked with his smart eyes blinking.
"What does Brother Yan mean?"
"Xiaomeng, do you know that if a mortal learns to practice, then his life will be extended. As his cultivation level is higher, his life will be extended indefinitely. If a cultivator in the star realm does not die unexpectedly, , then his lifespan will be extended to more than two or three hundred years."
Xuan Meng's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Can human life span be extended to hundreds of years?"
"Yes, so, Xiaomeng, you know, if you learn how to practice, then we can be together for a longer time."
"Really? Can I really practice?"
Xuan Meng's eyes were full of joy and expectation.
"Of course, Xiaomeng, you don't even know how outstanding you are. It can even be said that your talents and qualifications are unique in this continent!"
"Huh? Why have I never felt that I have any special talents?"
Xuan Meng's green jade finger pressed on her small mouth in surprise. She had never felt that she was anything special. Instead, she felt that she was too ordinary, and she even felt desperate in her heart more than once.
"That's because you haven't awakened your life soul yet, and of course, you haven't learned any techniques that suit you."
"My life soul?"
"Yes, Xiaomeng, you may not even realize it yourself, but your talent is very amazing. Do you still remember? When we were locked in a small room, you could go without eating for several days. But I can’t!”
"What kind of talent is this? Is a small appetite also a talent?"
Seeing Xuan Meng's innocent thinking expression, Yu Wenyan suddenly felt cute.
"Little fool, follow me!"
Immediately, Yu Wenyan took Xuan Meng's hand and returned to the room at the foot of the mountain.
"Xiaomeng, close your eyes and empty your soul."
"What is the Sea of Souls?"
"Oh, haha, I forgot that you haven't practiced yet. I just want you to get rid of distracting thoughts in your mind and seriously feel the flow of your consciousness."
"oh!"
Xuanmeng did as he said, closing his eyes and feeling his own consciousness.
Yu Wenyan's whole body slowly glowed with white light, and a faint thread of soul power condensed between his fingers.
He gently placed his fingertips on Xuan Meng's eyebrows, and the soul power thread slowly sank into Xuan Meng's soul sea. Suddenly, Yu Wenyan clearly saw that a huge life soul appeared in Xuan Meng's soul sea. picture.
Xuanwu Soul!
Yu Wenyan nodded happily, because Master Youying had already discovered it.
Xuanmeng herself is the inheritor of the ancient Xuanwu soul. She will protect the inheritors of Youying from generation to generation. The two of them have already been drawn by the life soul set by Youying. No matter how the world changes, there will always be a relationship between them. Form an interdependent relationship.
Xuanmeng's life soul fully awakened under the guidance of Yuwenyan's soul power. In order to allow Xuanmeng to better control the Xuanwu soul, Yuwenyan's soul consciousness entered Xuanmeng's soul sea.
"Brother Yan, where is this place?"
"This is your soul sea!"
"Oh? My soul sea, how did you get in, Brother Yan?"
"Because, now that I am connected to your life soul through the soul power center, I can naturally enter your soul sea space."
Xuan Meng was surprised when she saw a huge soul power statue appearing next to her. She could not see the whole picture of the statue.
I just feel that it has four big feet like giant pillars, and its body is like a huge mountain peak, towering into the clouds, and its neck is long at the front of the mountain-like body. However, I can't see it at all within the scope of my eyesight. to where its head is.
Xuan Meng was shocked by this huge soul power statue. She timidly ran to Yu Wenyan, pointed at the soul power statue and asked.
"Brother Yan, what is this, so scary?!"
Yu Wenyan looked at Xuan Meng, smiled and said.
"This is your soul power statue. You are the inheritor of Xuanwu Soul!"
"Oh? Xuanwu Soul, is that awesome?"
"Of course, from now on, I will teach you to practice a set of techniques called "Eternal Life Divine Art". Once you learn it, you will be able to freely control this soul power statue."
"Really? Then I want to learn!"
Xuan Meng immediately said decisively.
