The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 250 - 156 Are you?_2

He is handsome, and even his sleeping posture is dashing. Ning Xiaoxian stared for a moment before suddenly feeling that something was amiss. Because of their different physiques from normal humans, demons usually slept very little. Even Wen Liangyu, being a Half-demon, could stay lively and active for a long time without the need for sleep, let alone Changtian who possesses great Divine Skills? Since she met Changtian, he seemed to have never slept. Moreover, he had mentioned that ever since he began his cultivation, whether a person or a demon, most replaced sleep with Breathing Meditation.

Now, he was sleeping like a human, which must not be a good sign!

Wen Liangyu was taking care of the soil on the Fifth Floor. She dared not wake Changtian up, slowed her steps, and approached Qiongqi, pouted her lips, and silently asked: "What’s wrong with him?"

Qiongqi dared not speak. It was originally a spirit drawn on the Pill Furnace with the essence blood of the evil beast Qiongqi, scratching its head for a long while before it dispersed its form, gathering two big characters on the Pill Furnace: "Weak."

Although she had already guessed, her heart still sank to the bottom in an instant.

"What will happen to him?" Could he die?

The word death, sounds far away from Changtian. Even though he was locked on this Big Pillar, his expression had always been cold and his back straight regardless of how frightened, helpless, or scared she was; as long as she saw him, she immediately felt courageous.

Such a man, could he also pass away?

This time Qiongqi wrote more words, and hence each character became tiny: "Fall into a deep sleep."

"Ba Snake’s instinct, prolonged sleep prolongs life." It let her read clearly before transforming into another line of even smaller text, "During hibernation, all five senses are lost, motionless and unresponsive, silent and speechless."

That is to say, during this prolonged sleep, Changtian would not feel anything from the outside world, including her.

"If not replenished, it will eventually dissipate." It seemed afraid she wouldn’t understand and immediately added, "After the Divine Sense perishes, the External Body will become formless."

Become formless! She felt like her vision darkened, and she almost kneeled down. Did Qiongqi mean that if Changtian died, he would vanish without leaving even bones behind? He had endured in the God Demon Prison for 30,000 years, merely hoping for a sliver of life; such a stifling way to die should absolutely not be his fate!

Changtian had once said that he could still live for another five hundred years. Until she, a mere mortal turned into bones, he could still be alive. But at the present moment, how many steps had they taken on the Westward Journey, yet he was already burnt out, what was the reason, was there still need to think further?

She shook her head, forcing herself to swallow back her tears. Self-pity wasn’t useful anymore, what mattered now was what she should do to save him?

She resolutely uttered four words: "I want to save him!"

But this time Qiongqi was silent. Even it didn’t know what method could provide Changtian with a substantial amount of Spiritual Power to maintain the operation of his bodily functions.

"What are you doing?" Changtian’s voice rang out in the spacious bottom floor.

Qiongqi instantly reverted back to the tiger shape on the Pill Furnace, while Ning Xiaoxian slowly turned around, fixing her eyes on him and asked: "Why didn’t you tell me that you are already so weak?"

He refined Tusks for her, concocted Elixirs for her, healed her wounds, commanded straw men to feed her every day, and even undertook the heaven-defying Blood Exchange Technique for Wen Liangyu. Changtian had said that the Dragon Binding Rope on his body would suppress his Divine Skills to the lowest. So, to achieve all this, how much effort did he have to exert?

"It’s just a little rest." Changtian’s face relaxed, and even with a slight smile, he said: "What, can’t I even sleep?"

He rarely spoke in such a joking tone, yet she felt her nose tingle and her eyes moisten: "Why lie to me! Didn’t you promise the other day that you would never hide anything related to me?"

He gradually restrained the smile at the corner of his mouth, deeply looking at her, and after a long time said: "Don’t listen to Qiongqi’s nonsense, I won’t have any problems, I can definitely accompany you until the end of the Westward Journey."

She sniffed: "Really?"

"I always keep my word!"

If he couldn’t accompany her until the end, he would surely arrange her well, allowing her to live happily and prosperously in this chaotic world.

Ning Xiaoxian’s tears turned into a smile, but she secretly made up her mind. Facts speak louder than words, men are creatures who could swallow their own teeth and blood, she definitely should not easily trust him.

If he were gone, what significance would this Westward Journey have? She must find a solution for him.

Today, they finally reached their destination.

The Five Connected Pools. Waterways crisscross throughout Leizhou, and this is the central hub, the source of the Leizhou water system.

Although called "pools," they are actually immense "lakes." The five great lakes are interlinked, and the waterways are interconnected, with the surface area of the water alone occupying one-fifth of the entire Leizhou!

For the first time, she truly understood what meant "vast and boundless, with no horizons in sight," and what meant "morning glow and evening shadows, a myriad of weathers." The placid waters in front of her, limitless, with mist-covered waves, yet seemed capable of harnessing the power of Heaven and Earth, possessing the force to destruct and pull anything in its path.

Standing by the largest "Heart" lake among the five pools, she gazed into the distance where the sky and water merged into a line, with no end in sight. Occasionally, dragon-shaped fishes leaped in the lake, and herons roamed along the shore, a scene brimming with vitality. Today the wind was mild and the scenery clear, this celestial light above and below, a vast wonderland, left her in awe for a long time, at a loss for words.

In front of this natural majestic force, humans were mere triffles! At this moment, she finally understood why humans and demons struggled with their lives to become Immortals. Because only in this way could one not seem so weak and powerless before nature; only thus could one avoid being crushed to dust under the overwhelming Heavenly Dao!(To be continued.
