Chapter 6, Tears of a Beauty on Yuntai Peak
Every morning and evening, Lu Sheng engages in activities such as weighted high jumps, weighted running, and climbing. Initially, he would feel extreme fatigue in his arms and thighs, experiencing cramps throughout his body. However, over time, his physical fitness has significantly improved. Without any weights, he is now able to jump over one zhang high while practicing the Snow Wolf Body Technique, which astonished even him.
The first stage of refining the bones and shaping the flesh may seem simple, but it actually lays the foundation for each subsequent realm. Shaping the physical body is akin to forging a vessel for the vital energy; the more perfected the physical body, the more vital energy it can naturally contain, and it will also facilitate a more adept handling of the energy during its reception and release.
Meng Yun did not truly develop feelings for Lu Sheng; she was afraid that Lu Sheng might misunderstand her intentions, yet she found it difficult to express this directly. She merely stated that she was not in the frame of mind to consider matters of love and relationships at the moment
Lu Sheng lowered his head, gripping his hands tightly together, feeling an overwhelming sense of distress. It seemed as if all of Li Mengyun's sorrow and helplessness were due to him. If only he possessed a peerless skill that could look down upon the world, then Li Mengyun would not be so upset. At this moment, he could deeply empathize with Li Mengyun's helplessness.
"Junior Brother Lu, what is wrong with you?" Bai Shuihe shouted
Lu Sheng raised his head; the sky had grown dark. Yet, the world and all its elements remained clearly visible, illuminated by the reflection of the snow.
No. Li Mengyun, illuminated by the snowlight, stood alone, exuding an air of chilling solitude: "Do you really think I am that kind of person?"
According to the "Seven Mysterious Secret Records," anyone who reaches the realm of supernatural powers will ascend to a place called "Penglai World." It is said that "Penglai World" is another world outside the Seven Mysterious Continent, but there are no detailed descriptions of that world.
The night is cold and desolate, a solitary figure lingers, and the heart grows even colder
Suddenly, someone behind Lu Sheng was calling out to him
Lu Sheng merely called softly: "Meng Yun, Meng Yun..."
Lu Sheng naturally understood the meaning behind Li Mengyun's words, but he felt a deep sense of guilt and heartache because Li Mengyun sought to befriend Bai Shuihe out of a desire for revenge
Lu Sheng was taken aback by this sudden situation. Is this really what he wanted? Yet he did not reach out to embrace the woman. The cold body felt the waves of warmth emanating from Li Mengyun, and the faint fragrance stirred his soul.
This voice is very familiar to him; it is Li Mengyun's voice. Lu Sheng wore a bitter expression as he looked at Li Mengyun and slowly walked towards her
Originally a young lady living in seclusion, surrounded by luxury and comfort, Meng Yun now finds herself without a single relative by her side. Apart from this Lu Sheng, whom she has known for only a few days, she truly does not know to whom she can turn to for solace. In her heart, Meng Yun harbors no other thoughts; she simply wishes to lean on a shoulder for support. Although she once served as a servant, at least Lu Sheng is someone in Li Meng Yun's eyes whom she can trust and rely on.
In Li Mengyun's gaze, Lu Sheng saw an unprecedented desolation and helplessness, akin to a pitiful little bird that has lost its parents, gazing out in solitude
Lu Sheng closed the "Seven Mysterious Secret Records" and let out a long sigh
I have now fully comprehended the Snow Wolf Body Training Technique, but my body is too weak to break through to the second level of meridians. I need to rely on potent medicine to facilitate the expansion of all the meridian barriers in my body.
The only family member had left her, and now the only person she knew was this Lu Sheng. Li Mengyun couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and she couldn't resist throwing herself in front of Lu Sheng, sobbing on his shoulder, her frail shoulders trembling from the uncontrollable weeping
Some extraordinary talents, such as Cui Wuyou, the founder of the Kunlun Sect in the East Dragon region, are said to have reached a realm of divine powers. It is rumored that when he was at the first level of cultivation, he possessed a strength of three thousand jin, displaying remarkable brilliance.
No matter how beautiful the smile is, it does not belong to me; it belongs to the Baishui River. I am merely a bystander, a spectator. I was originally just one of her servants, so what right do I have to indulge in such aspirations
"Lu Sheng," Li Mengyun called softly, but received no response. Only then did she realize that Lu Sheng, who had been standing by the Baishui River, was no longer there. Turning around, she found that for some unknown reason, Lu Sheng had already stopped, standing in the snow, staring blankly at her.
Ordinary individuals cultivate their physical realm, reaching the pinnacle of transformation, enhancing various bodily functions, which can lead to longevity, allowing for a lifespan of approximately two hundred years
As he watched the figures of Li Mengyun and the Baishui River gradually fade away, Lu Sheng felt as if he had been drained of all strength, collapsing onto the snow-covered ground. The biting cold seeped directly into his skin, and it felt truly wonderful
After an ordinary person completes the first level of bone tempering and flesh molding, they often possess a strength of five hundred pounds. However, those with the aptitude to reach the realm of the mind and spirit, after practicing bone tempering and flesh molding, can often attain a strength of over one thousand pounds, which is typically double that of an ordinary person
Lu Sheng quickly feigned indifference, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Alright"
Lu Sheng's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if it had been pierced by a cold dagger. It seemed that he had deeply fallen in love with this woman named Li Mengyuan, as if he would never be able to escape this fate in his lifetime
In an instant, Li Mengyun realized her earlier lapse in composure, straightened her posture, and stepped away from Lu Sheng.
This is a notion currently buried within the hearts of terrestrial beings; even if their strength is feeble, it remains unwavering. Strength can be cultivated, but the notion cannot be cultivated.
Is it because of my fate and background? Lu Sheng asked
Lu Sheng suddenly looked up at Li Mengyun and found that Li Mengyun was also looking at him.
What the conclusion is remains unknown to all
It is unclear how much time has passed, and the sky has already darkened
Lu Sheng halted his steps, standing dazed in the snow, gazing at the figures of Bai Shuihe and Li Mengyun. Bai Shuihe was extraordinarily graceful, exuding an exceptional aura. Li Mengyun was strikingly elegant, pure as ice and jade. What a perfectly matched pair of celestial lovers.
Lu Sheng abruptly turned around
Lu Sheng lowered his eyelids, and in an instant, a myriad of thoughts surged in his heart
In the dead of night, in silence, people gather and part ways
Lu Sheng could not help but be taken aback, yet soon his heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of loss
Suddenly, Lu Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the vast plain covered by heavy snow beneath Mount Hua, letting out a long sigh
Meng Yun stopped her tears and calmly said: "Lu He * Tu * Shusheng, do you know that the enmity of killing one's father is a grudge that cannot be shared under heaven? How can it not be avenged? But my skills are shallow, and I am simply not a match for that bandit. Meanwhile, Bai Shui He has already reached the realm of true qi transformation, so... I currently have no thoughts to spare for matters of love and affection. Do you understand?"
In the past half month, Lu Sheng has comprehended the Snow Wolf Body Technique several times, and the previously vague aspects have gradually become clear, after all, this is also a basic skill and not profound
Li Mengyun's faint smile transformed into the most beautiful scenery in the cold winter, becoming an eternal memory in Lu Sheng's life
As he gazed at Li Mengyun's delicate figure, Lu Sheng felt as if his heart were being cut by a knife, a pain that pierced deeply. Suppressing the anguish within, Lu Sheng spoke gently: "Mengyun, if you have any worries, please share them with me."
I am determined to protect you, Li Mengyun! She must not be hurt or helpless any longer, and Lu Sheng has never been so resolute.
Lu Sheng's body trembled, and he suddenly came to his senses. He forced out a dry smile and said, "I have no appetite today, so you all go ahead and eat. I will take a look around Yun Tai Peak."
If one can achieve the realm of the Primordial Spirit within two hundred years, then one can extend their lifespan by approximately five hundred years. However, if one fails to condense their vital energy and attain the Primordial Spirit during this period, they will only age and eventually turn into a pile of white bones
He sighed to himself, wanting to stand up, but found that his body had long since become numb from the cold. After a long while, he managed to force himself to stand, yet his head felt heavy and dazed as he stumbled along.
Bai Shuihe looked at Lu Sheng in this manner, then glanced at Li Mengyun. Li Mengyun slightly nodded at the *picture* book and said, "Then Junior Brother Lu, you can take a look around. We will be leaving first"
In his leisure time while contemplating the Snow Wolf Body Refinement Technique, Lu Sheng would visit the Heavenly Book Pavilion to read various books. The Heavenly Book Pavilion houses countless volumes, covering the geography and history of various nations in the Seven Mysterious Continent, notable figures, and explanations of certain cultivation techniques, but it does not provide any spells. The three books that Lu Sheng enjoys reading the most are "The Seven Mysterious World," "Secrets of the Seven Mysterious," and "Record of Notable Figures in the Seven Mysterious."
"One day, I will step onto that land." Lu Shengqi is determined and resolute
Lu Sheng, you know that it is impossible for us, so why bother? I am really in so much pain right now! So much pain, I want my father to come back to my side..." Li Mengyun said, her eyes filled with tears, speaking with a heart-wrenching sorrow.
However, a person with only thoughts and no strength is like a boat without oars, ultimately unable to reach the other shore
The cold night enveloped Li Mengyun, and the woman standing at the summit of Mount Hua appeared even more solitary. She was slightly taken aback, never having imagined that Lu Sheng possessed such a resolute side.
Li Mengyun, I will surely avenge you. Lu Sheng spoke with unwavering determination, and after finishing his words, he turned around, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow
The "Record of the Seven Mysterious Figures" notes that throughout history, some renowned individuals who have left a lasting legacy often possess extraordinarily powerful physiques. Such formidable bodies are typically the result of extraordinary encounters that others might envy, such as comprehending supreme body cultivation techniques, consuming potent spiritual herbs, and so forth. These achievements cannot be attained solely through personal physical training.
