Volume 5, Chapter 18: A Conversation
"Senior sister, come down too!"
Gu Yunmeng closed his eyes slightly and said softly.
Feng Hanshuang, who had just arrived, hesitated for a moment, then flew away, landed next to Gu Yunmeng, and sank into the water. Her movements were so light that she didn't even splash.
"Why are you soaked in the water again? How do you feel now?"
"The injury has recovered well, but the cultivation level..."
Feng Hanshuang sighed faintly after hearing this. After entering the ascension passage, Gu Yunmeng also entered the seventh-grade heavenly immortal, but her ascension failed. Now, her realm once fell below the ninth-grade true immortal. In the past month, with the help of The special thing about the hot springs here is that her trauma finally improved, but her cultivation has not recovered at all.
"The energy you mentioned earlier..." Feng Hanshuang changed the subject.
"Well, the immortal power is indeed running much smoother, but the energy is not enough to restore my cultivation. Come to think of it, within a few years, it will be difficult for my cultivation to return to the eighth-grade earth immortal. As for whether I can return to it again At the peak, even I didn’t have much confidence.”
Yunmeng smiled bitterly, and then said: "That's good, senior sister, I can spend more time with you."
Feng Hanshuang didn't say anything. She knew that Gu Yunmeng must be in a bad mood now. The relationship between the two of them was already very close, so she naturally knew what Gu Yunmeng was thinking.
After a long silence, Feng Hanshuang asked tentatively: "Junior sister, this time you ascend..."
"Sister, this is exactly what I want to tell you."
In the past month, Gu Yunmeng was busy recovering from his injuries and did not tell Feng Hanshuang about the unexpected failure of the ascension immediately. This was not because she wanted to hide something, but because she really didn't know how to say it. Feng Hanshuang didn't ask, so it was delayed until today.
In the past month, in addition to healing, Gu Yunmeng also thought a lot. Today was the time when she was going to tell the whole story, as well as some of her guesses and how to arrange Bai Fei in the future. There are only three of them in the Xuanshuang Sword Sect, and all matters, big and small, basically fall on Feng Hanshuang's shoulders. Even though she is the sect leader, she still has to consult Feng Hanshuang for her opinion. As for Mo Qianqian, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, the two of them can do it. I am satisfied.
Gu Yunmeng organized his words a little, and then said: "Senior sister, when I entered the Feixian Terrace, huge immortal energy surged in, and it seemed to contain some will. Therefore, I quickly got a breakthrough. , and then... Then I continued to rise along the ascension passage, getting faster and faster. The higher I went, the stronger the immortal energy became, and the stronger the will. This process was very smooth, and I felt like I was wandering in the warm sunshine. Even though I was surrounded by fierce air currents, I didn’t feel any pressure at all. Thinking about it, this is the process of ascension in the true sense, but..."
Speaking of this, Gu Yunmeng's heart trembled. Even now, she is a little scared when she thinks of the situation at that time.
"An accident happened at that time?" Feng Hanshuang asked.
"Yes." Gu Yunmeng nodded, tried his best to calm down, and continued after a while: "We all know that the ascension passage is not unique to the human race, and the other four races also have ascension passages. Senior sister, when I get there At that time, the ascension passages of the other four races could already be seen. However, including the ascension passages of the human race, the five ascension passages converged at that place.
, however, I saw a huge light group firmly blocking the convergence port. "
"At that time, I thought, is this a test for ascended monks? Senior sister, now that I think about it, I am still too ignorant. As soon as I had this idea, I tried my best to hit the ball of light..."
"The light group was full of terrifying energy, but I still rushed in smoothly. I didn't expect it to be so easy. I couldn't hold back for a moment. I only had time to see two figures entangled in the light group. They were The clothes on his body are a little torn, one of them...one of them..."
"Is it Senior Brother Bai?" Feng Hanshuang asked in surprise.
"Well, one of them was Senior Brother Bai, and the other one was wearing a purple dress. I didn't have time to see her face. Later, Senior Brother Bai told me that the woman was her enemy, and they were fighting at that time."
"At that time, I couldn't hold back, so I bumped into the two of them, knocking them away. My head was also dizzy, but the next scene was even more terrifying. The two of them were knocked down. The light wall suddenly flew out again, as if it was bounced back by something. I had no time to react, but was knocked away by them. Then, I just felt that I hit the light wall and bounced like them. I went back and fell heavily into the light ball, and then...then I passed out."
"When I woke up...when I woke up..."
Gu Yunmeng's face suddenly turned red. After thinking about it, he still wasn't ready to hide it from Feng Hanshuang.
"Senior sister, do you know why I woke up?"
Feng Hanshuang glanced at her, not daring to make any guesses, and just asked: "Did Senior Brother Bai help you?"
"Yes, if it weren't for Senior Brother Bai, I... I might have died. At that time, I only felt a breath in my mouth and in my throat..."
"In the mouth?" Feng Hanshuang glanced at her again.
Gu Yunmeng did not dare to look at her and said softly: "I am not afraid of Senior Sister's jokes. At that time, it was Senior Brother Bai who sent me the immortal power through mouth to mouth. However, because I was in a coma, those immortal powers could not be absorbed. I absorbed it, but eventually I woke up because of it.”
"I misjudged him! Why did he use this method? If he was really kind and wanted to save you, he could have used any other method." Feng Hanshuang was a little indignant.
"Senior sister, you wrongly blamed Senior Brother Bai." Gu Yunmeng said hurriedly.
"Huh?" Feng Hanshuang was stunned.
"Although I don't know what happened after I fell into coma, but when I woke up, we were no longer in the light group, and the woman was nowhere to be found. As for Senior Brother Bai, his cultivation level can barely be regarded as a top-notch mortal immortal. , how can such a person survive in the ascension passage? Therefore, he held me and fell with me. At that time, he could not wake me up by other means. If I had been unconscious, both of us would have been thrown Turned into mud.”
"That's it..." Feng Hanshuang exhaled and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, we landed along the ascension passage. Senior sister, at that time I still had a glimmer of hope for the ascension. After all, I was still cultivating at that time, but Senior Brother Bai told me that there was a terrifying force above our heads. I sensed After a moment, he didn't lie. As he said, with my strength, it is impossible to penetrate the package of that terrifying power.
Yes, I completely gave up the idea of ascension. "
"After a long time, I suddenly realized that my immortal power was constantly losing. I was shocked at that time. My spiritual mind learned that Senior Brother Bai's immortal power was slowly recovering... Senior sister, don't worry, it's not what you thought. Generally speaking, Senior Brother Bai is a gentleman. He would not do that kind of thing. Besides, he still needed my help at that time. My immortal power was losing faster and faster, but his recovery was extremely slow. If that is the case, he is not Do you harm others or yourself?”
"When he learned about this situation, he immediately took out a flat peach. By the way, senior sister, this flat peach seems to be the kind of spiritual creature of heaven and earth recorded in the classics. The dishes we ate earlier seemed to have been mixed with flat peach. However, there is another kind of energy in it. This energy is far greater than that of a flat peach. It seems to be a spiritual elixir that is beneficial to rejuvenation. I don’t know if it was brought down from the upper world by Senior Brother Bai."
Feng Hanshuang nodded and listened to Gu Yunmeng continue to say: "After taking flat peach, the rate of loss of immortal power became slower. When Brother Bai saw that it was effective, he took out another one, but this time The effect was minimal. At that time, I couldn’t even see the shadow on the ground.”
"Senior Brother Bai's immortal power has not continued to recover, but my immortal power is still slowly losing. The longer time goes by, the faster the loss speed becomes. Fortunately... fortunately, I finally saw the Feixian Platform and the ground. , At that time, I probably still had the cultivation level of the eighth-level Earth Immortal, first level, and I should be able to protect myself if I wanted to, but... But Senior Brother Bai has done so much for me, I can't leave him behind. At that time, He is not even a ninth-grade true immortal. If I leave him, he will definitely have no chance of living. If he is not thrown into the mud and loses my defensive cover, the air currents in the ascension channel can tear him apart."
"The Feixian Terrace is in sight. I wanted to use the Feixian Terrace as a buffer so that we could land safely. Who knew... Who knew that just as we approached the Feixian Terrace, the Feixian Terrace suddenly disappeared. We passed through the Feixian Terrace and were exposed. In the air that is not maintained by huge immortal energy."
"And my immortal power was almost exhausted at that moment, and I fell to the realm of a non-grade mortal immortal. It would be too difficult for two non-grade mortal immortals to survive when they fell from such a high altitude! Senior Brother Bai has great feelings for me. Well, even if I die, I still want to help him. Fortunately, God is merciful. When I was about to land, my immortal power relapsed again and seemed to have recovered a little. I ignored him and lifted Senior Brother Bai high into the sky. Push it away, hoping to offset some of the force of his fall, and then...then..."
Gu Yunmeng did not continue, but Feng Hanshuang knew the outcome. At that critical moment, if Gu Yunmeng still wanted to protect herself, she could indeed do it, not to mention that there was another person beside her who could take advantage of her. However, she obviously did not do so. In the end, she was seriously injured and almost died. As for Bai Fei, he just broke his leg.
"Junior sister, you did nothing wrong, but..." Feng Hanshuang looked at Gu Yunmeng with relief and distress.
"Senior sister, I have no regrets. Even if my body died and my soul disappeared, I will not regret it. We cultivators are people who act casually. If I exchanged Brother Bai's death for my own life, then in the future, I will not regret it." , I will be troubled by this matter all the time, no matter how hard I am to improve my cultivation. Besides, am I not doing well now?"
"Alas!" Feng Hanshuang sighed, stretched out his hand, and held Gu Yunmeng lovingly in his arms.
