169 Chapter 169 Danger of Han and Shuang (1/2)

”Looking at the energy within my body, it is still quite stable. My current body quality is better than anyone else in the Xiantian realm, so as long as I nourish and train my External Chakra Meridian I can try to merge with my first earth vein. It seems like I'll have to stay at this Water Fairy Lake for a little longer.”

Zong Shou took a look at Little Gold who was wrapped around his hand, smiling happily.

This little fellow had followed him underwater, all throughout clinging to his body and being trained by the whirlpool's strength. It had even broken through to the 4th Grade a month earlier than him.

If it was other people stepping into the Xiantian Realm, their lifespans extending to two hundred years and their ability increasing by ten times would definitely leave them delighted.

Yet Zong Shou had already been through this process in his past life and was simply just repeating it. Although he was happy, it took no effort to suppress it.

Looking around, it was already past noon yet there were still no signs of the two sisters.

”Weird, it's a few hours after lunch, have the two sisters left already? Ye Feihan didn't mention anything about it yesterday.

The thought of the pair flashed across his mind and he couldn't help but feel loss and regret. While originally he found the two girls to be boring and believed them to be disposable and meaningless to him, he found after talking and spending over three months with them to say he had no feelings toward them was a blatant lie.

He didn't worry too much, though he did sigh regretfully, packing up his things and walking toward the shore.

After his extremely dangerous attempt at breaking through to the Xiantian Realm, he decided to give himself a day off to find Xue'er to celebrate with and then relax.

When one trained martial arts they should traditionally alternate training with relaxation as if one trained too hard, they would break sooner or later.

Due to the injury to his legs, he still couldn't walk. Luckily, he had the help of the Wind Spirit Bone which let off a mechanical sound similar to that of a wooden puppet as he walked to the shore.

Just as he jumped onto the wooden raft, he had a sudden premonition and looked south. Aside from the breeze, all he could hear was the sound of weapons clashing.

”That's weird, this situation doesn't seem right. Why does it seem like there are people fighting there, isn't that the direction where Feihan and Feishuang lived? Have they not left?”

During these few months, although Zong Shou didn't take the initiative to ask he knew the situation of the pair like the back of his hand. He knew they were living on an island roughly thirty miles away from the Blackwater Pond, and that every day to get to him they had to row fifteen minutes on a boat.

Taking another look at the raft beneath his feet, Zong Shou hesitated. If he continued south he would step into the territory of the Blackwater Chill Serpent, and if things went wrong he might die.

Actually, it wasn't his problem if the Ye Family sisters died as perhaps they were just sparring with real weapons and were incredibly immersed.

A thread of true qi pushed the raft forward and it traveled for several hundred feet before Zong Shou sighed, shaking his head and ordering the raft to turn and accelerate.

”Zong Shou, you really like to meddle in other people's business! There are so many things in this world, can you really care about all of them? Why don't you remember, you need to be more careful…”

Although he cursed himself, his eyes were filled with excitement.

Since breaking the Earth Gates and entering the Xiantian Realm, his heart had a hard time suppressing the desire to search for an opponent to face his sword, even a random weakling was fine.

Although he was acting as though he reached this decision after careful reflection and deliberation, the reality was he was just following his true nature. This was his heart's wish, and there was no need for him to go against it.

When he activated the true energy the back of the raft started to spit out water as its speed climbed rapidly. He traveled for twenty miles and discovered that the water surface beyond consisted of ice chunks, and the temperature was at freezing point. He moved another mile forward and realized the wooden raft couldn't continue, as everywhere there were thick pieces of floating ice and a mist of blue energy that was surging and rolling.

If Zong Shou's thoughts were correct, the mist should be the cold toxin that the Blackwater Chill Serpent excreted from his body.

”They could choose to live anywhere in the Water Fairy Lake and they chose here, are they not afraid of accidents? In this place where nothing grows if one doesn't freeze to death they would be poisoned, it's no wonder they travel so far to bathe.”

Abandoning the wooden raft, Zong Shou controlled the Wind Traveling Spirit Bone to jump onto the shore, dashing into its depths.

To say that nothing could grow here wasn't strictly true as while there were no living things on the pieces of floating ice, there were many trees on the island.

Though when Zong Shou glanced at them he frowned. The trees were a species that could only grow in extremely cold or poisonous areas, and a few of them would cause instant death if touched. The few beasts that he saw were similar, holding unique types of poisons in their bodies.
