Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 991 - 987: Vast Heavens and Land

As the altitude gradually increased, the scenery along the way underwent a dramatic change.

The verdant plains were gradually replaced by the yellow-green of alpine meadows, where low bushes intertwined with tall spruce and fir trees, exposing naked rock faces with varying shades of gray-brown.

The stream beside the road was crystal clear, its waters rushing swiftly, hitting rocks with a "swoosh" sound.

Occasionally, herds of yaks could be seen grazing on the meadows, their large bodies covered in dense fur, their black and white forms starkly visible against the yellow-green meadows.

In the distance, the snow-capped mountains were faintly visible, their peaks covered in pristine white snow, reflecting dazzling sunlight.

This was a scene they had never before seen in Bin Hai, its awe-inspiring nature comparable to discovering a new world.

And Xiao Yue and the others forgot all about the pandas; Dou Dou and Duoduo transformed into two gusts of Yin Wind, riding the yaks to experience the joy of riding.

Even Xiao Yue was no exception, secretly riding for a stretch.

Dou Dou even wanted to fly to see the distant snow mountains, but Shen Siyuan forcibly pulled her back.

This land was truly vast. Although the distant snow mountains seemed close, flying over would likely take quite some time.

Upon entering Ganzi, the scenery became even more magnificent.

Vast grasslands stretched as far as the eye could see, like a green carpet unfurled between heaven and earth, where herds of sheep and yaks leisurely grazed, and herders’ tents dotted the landscape like white flowers.

The sky was washed in a deep blue, with white clouds seemingly within reach. Wildflowers along the roadside bloomed in a riot of colors—red, yellow, purple, and white—vividly dazzling, as a gentle breeze spread their fragrance.

Occasionally, Tibetan antelopes and wild Tibetan donkeys could be seen running across the grasslands, their forms agile and swift, disappearing into the distant horizon.

The young folks were ecstatic, including Xiao Yue, freed by the scenery before her.

They ran across the grasslands, laughter echoing between heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan appreciated the vastness and grandeur of the grasslands, eyes filled with awe.

He had seen the vastness of the ocean, but never such expansive grasslands, only feeling increasingly small in the face of nature, while revering it even more.

Yet Shen Siyuan’s steps did not pause much until he reached the Ta Gong Grassland, where he finally stopped.

This grassland, situated at the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, boasted an altitude of over 3,700 meters, vast and boundless, with lush water and grass.

In the distance stood the majestic Yala Snow Mountain, its peak eternally capped with snow, like a sacred goddess guarding this grassland.

On the grassland, herds of cattle and sheep grazed leisurely, while herders rode splendid steeds, waving their whips and singing aloud, their songs both bold and melodious.

"Shall we rest here for a while?" Shen Siyuan suggested while gazing at the distant snow mountain.

"Whatever you say goes," Dou Dou shrugged, a look of feigned helplessness on her face.

Shen Siyuan reached out to pat her little head, smiling, "You can all go explore on your own."

Throughout this journey, Shen Siyuan never let them stray too far from him.

Now, hearing Shen Siyuan’s words, the three little ones were thrilled, with Dou Dou flying straight to the distant snow mountain and Duoduo heading toward the flock of cattle.

Xiao Yue was more reserved, wanting to help Shen Siyuan pack up.

In truth, there was little to pack; Shen Siyuan took a space capsule from his storage, placed it on a clearing, and that was it, simple and convenient.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yue lingered no longer, transforming into a gust of Yin Wind and vanishing.

Watching them leave, Shen Siyuan sat cross-legged on the grassland, closed his eyes, merging with heaven and earth.

Though walking on foot through areas rarely traversed, even the Ta Gong Grassland, a tourist attraction bustling with visitors daily, had no impact on him.

Moreover, there was another benefit to these seldom-visited places.

Although this world was already at the End of Dharma, there still existed faint Spiritual Energy, and it was precisely for this reason that Shen Siyuan chose to linger here. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Here the Spiritual Energy was purer and denser than on the plains, infused with the crispness of the snowy mountains and the vast expanse of the grassland, flowing into him, strengthening his weak Spiritual Energy.

Dou Dou and Duoduo rolled, frolicked on the grassland, picking wildflowers with innocent smiles on their faces.

Xiao Yue floated in mid-air, gazing at the distant snow mountains and grasslands, her eyes clear and serene, carrying a hint of pent-up emotions.

But as they traveled through this magnificent landscape over the past few days, the trace of pent-up emotions seemed to gradually dissipate.

People need not live in the past; those trivial matters are hardly worth dwelling on in the face of such grand landscapes.

Go out, see the world, and you’ll realize that life’s hardships are merely self-imposed troubles.

These realizations cannot be taught; even if taught, they cannot be learned. Only when you’ve figured them out yourself can you understand how simple it is to resolve problems.

People must learn to let go.

As the sun set, the grassland was dyed a golden hue.

The distant snow mountains shimmered in gold, while smoke rose from herders’ tents, with cattle and sheep gradually returning to camp, restoring tranquility to the grassland.

Shen Siyuan stood up, gazing at the beautiful scene before him, a faint smile gracing his face.

From Bazhong to Chongqing, from Chengdu to Ta Gong Grassland, the sights and sounds along this journey bore the liveliness of Ba Yu, the leisurely lifestyle of Chengdu, the grandeur of the Western Sichuan Plateau, and the natural beauty and vastness.

These experiences continually polished his temperament, refined his Spiritual Power, and deepened his understanding of "Taoist Natural Law."

Great truth is often simple, nature is genuine, only by merging with heaven and earth can one comprehend the true essence of life.

As night fell, the stars on the grassland were exceptionally bright, like diamonds scattered on black velvet.

The Milky Way spanned across the sky, clearly visible.

Shen Siyuan and the three little ones sat on the grassland, gazing at the starry sky, marveling at the wonder and grandeur of nature.

Dou Dou nestled in Xiao Yue’s arms, listening to her stories of the starry sky.

Duoduo clutched a handful of wildflowers, her eyes full of curiosity towards the stars.

"Xiao Yue, do you want to return to Bin Hai?" Shen Siyuan suddenly asked.

Before Xiao Yue could reply, Dou Dou jumped up.

"I don’t want to, not at all! I want to stay here forever," Dou Dou immediately shouted.

Duoduo also nodded repeatedly beside her, this journey was so beautiful and so interesting.

"We’ve been out for over a month now, dragging things out further isn’t a solution." Shen Siyuan stated.

Duoduo and Dou Dou seemed somewhat confused by these words, while Xiao Yue seemed to understand something.

Hence she asked, "Brother, are you confident now?"

The reason she asked was because Shen Siyuan was not confident in clearing the Yangzhou Netherworld, so he intended to enhance his strength through practice, thus the question.

Shen Siyuan did not answer the question but instead asked, "Xiao Yue, do you know where the place with the most thunderstorms is?"

Xiao Yue shook her head in confusion.

"Qiong Province, which is where we came from," Shen Siyuan replied.

He had overlooked that the place he chased the true essence of Thunder Skill, the place he came from, was the best place to comprehend Thunder Skill.
