Mortal Cultivator

Wang Lu stood quietly on the beach, letting the fierce sea breeze blow his body.

The wind whistled past, lifted his clothes, and made a rustling sound, as if it was going to sweep him away.

However, Wang Lu was like an indestructible mountain, firmly rooted on this beach.

Beside him, Liu Xue stood gracefully. Her beautiful face looked particularly calm at this moment, like a clear lake, without any ripples.

Her eyes, as bright as stars, stared unwaveringly at the looming Yunxian Island on the sea level in the distance.

Yunxian Island was shrouded in a thin layer of clouds and mist, like a dream, giving people a mysterious and charming feeling.

The sun shone on the sea, sparkling, and set off against the distant Yunxian Island, forming a beautiful picture.

Wang Lu and Liu Xue stood side by side. Their figures seemed so small in this magnificent seascape, but the faith in their hearts was as hot as a burning flame.

In the depths of the vast sea, there is a mysterious island that has been praised by the world for a long time.

This island is shrouded in a thin layer of mist all year round, looming, as if it came out of the mythical world.

According to legend, two people with extraordinary powers live on this island-Fox Fairy and Samsara Granny.

Fox Fairy has a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Her eyes are like deep lake water, flashing charming light; while Samsara Granny is an old woman with white hair and wrinkles on her face, but she exudes an awe-inspiring aura.

It is said that this mysterious island contains a magical power that can change people's destiny. In order to find this power, countless people risk their lives to cross the turbulent sea and set foot on this unknown land. However, only a few people can actually reach the island and see Fox Fairy and Reincarnation Grandma.

"Wang Lu, this trip to Yunxian Island must be full of dangers, but I have an inexplicable premonition in my heart that we must move forward." Liu Xue said softly, her hair flying freely in the wind.

Wang Lu nodded slightly, with fearlessness in his eyes: "Liu Xue, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, as long as I walk with you, I will not be afraid." After that, he took Liu Xue's hand and stepped onto the boat that had been prepared long ago. The boat slowly sailed away from the shore and broke through the waves in the direction of Yunxian Island.

At first, the sea was calm, the sun sprinkled on the sea, and the waves sparkled, as if countless tiny pieces of gold were jumping. Wang Lu and Liu Xue sat side by side at the bow, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

However, halfway through the journey, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and dark clouds gathered quickly, covering the sky tightly, and darkness poured down like ink. The waves also began to surge, and the boat shook violently in the waves, as if it would be swallowed by the sea at any time.

Wang Lu held the oar tightly, struggling to keep the boat balanced, and shouted loudly: "Liu Xue, be careful!" Liu Xue cast a spell to prop up a light blue shield around the boat, trying to resist the invasion of the wind and waves.

But the power of the waves was too strong, hitting the shield again and again, and the light on the shield gradually dimmed.

At this critical moment, Liu Xue suddenly stood up, dancing with her hands, and muttering something.

A powerful spiritual power surged out of her palm, turning into a huge water dragon, roaring towards the surging waves and fighting with them.

Under the water dragon's fierce resistance, the waves finally subsided, the dark clouds began to dissipate, and the sun shone on them again.

Wang Lu let out a long sigh and looked at Liu Xue gratefully: "Liu Xue, thanks to you, otherwise we would have died in the sea today."

Liu Xue shook her head slightly, with a trace of fatigue on her face: "We are a community of shared destiny, and we can only go further if we support each other."

After some twists and turns, Yunxian Island finally came into view. The island was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, adding a bit of mystery to it. Wang Lu and Liu Xue moored the boat on the shore and set foot on this mysterious land.

The island is full of green trees and flowers, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants exude charming fragrance. But they had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and they only wanted to find Fox Fairy and Samsara Grandma.

Walking along a winding path, they soon came to an elegant courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the surroundings were quiet and silent. Wang Lu stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker gently, and the crisp knocking sound echoed in the silence. After a while, the door slowly opened, and a girl in white appeared in front of them. The girl had a beautiful face, lively eyes, and a fluffy fox tail behind her. She was Fox Fairy.

"Who are you? Why are you here on Yunxian Island?" Fox Fairy looked at them warily.

Wang Lu clasped his fists and saluted respectfully: "Miss Fox Fairy, I am Wang Lu, and this is Liu Xue. We heard that Yunxian Island has magical places, so we came to see you, hoping to get your advice from you and Granny Samsara."

Fox Fairy looked them up and down, as if to test their sincerity, and then stepped aside to let them into the courtyard: "Come in first, Granny is inside."

The courtyard was decorated simply and elegantly, with all kinds of rare flowers and plants planted. In the center of the courtyard, a white-haired Granny was sitting in front of a stone table, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, with deep and calm eyes. She was Granny Samsara.

"Granny, there are two visitors who want to see you." Fox Fairy walked to Granny Samsara and said softly.

Granny Samsara slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on Wang Lu and Liu Xue: "What do you want here?"

Wang Lu and Liu Xue looked at each other, and then Wang Lu took a step forward and said: "Mother-in-law, we have gone through many hardships in the world. We heard that Yunxian Island has the power to change destiny and know the secrets of reincarnation, so we took the liberty to come here, hoping to get enlightenment and unlock the secrets of reincarnation. Confused in the heart, find the way forward.”

The reincarnation mother-in-law sighed softly: "Is fate something that can be easily changed? In reincarnation, cause and effect follow each other. Have you ever thought that if you know the truth of fate, you may fall into deeper pain."

Liu Xue frowned slightly: "Mother-in-law, we are not afraid of pain. Even if fate is like a knife, we still want to hold the handle of the knife and control our own lives."

Mother-in-law Samsara stared at them for a long time before slowly speaking: "Well, since you are so persistent, I will open the realm of reincarnation for you and let you find out. But once you step in, you will be responsible for the consequences."

After saying that, I saw Samsara's mother-in-law clasping her hands together and mumbling something. As she murmured softly, she slowly waved the string of Buddhist beads in her hand that exuded a simple atmosphere. In an instant, a strange and brilliant light bloomed from the beads, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.

This ray of light quickly spread to the entire courtyard. Wherever it went, the ground shook slightly, and the flowers, plants and trees swayed gently as if they were given life. Immediately afterwards, the rays of light began to gather and intertwine, gradually forming a huge vortex. This vortex is as deep and mysterious as a black hole in the universe, with colorful lights and various blurry images flashing in it.

If you look carefully, those pictures seem to be the past and present lives of countless people flashing by. In some pictures, people are dressed in ancient costumes and walking in bustling ancient streets; some are in war-torn battlefields, fighting bravely; and some are immersed in sweet love... These pictures are like a revolving lantern. The rapid changes make people dizzy, as if they can glimpse the past and future of everything in the world through this whirlpool.

Wang Lu took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck all the courage in the world into his chest. He slowly stretched out his right hand and held Liu Xue's soft, boneless hand tightly. Feeling the slight trembling from Liu Xue's palm, Wang Lu shook her hand hard, as if he wanted to convey strength and peace of mind to her in this way.

Then, the two of them looked at each other, their eyes meeting with determination and determination. In this way, they resolutely stepped into the mysterious and terrifying realm of reincarnation together.

The moment he entered the realm of reincarnation, the surrounding scene changed drastically like a scroll being stirred by an invisible hand. They seemed to be in a completely illusory world all of a sudden, everything around them became blurred, except for the bustling crowds coming like a tide.

These people come from different dynasties and wear all kinds of strange costumes. Some people were wearing gorgeous Hanfu, with wide robes and long sleeves fluttering in the wind; some were wearing tight Hufu, riding tall horses galloping by; still others were wearing Tang and Song Dynasty costumes, holding folding fans and chatting and laughing... Each Various scenes also flashed before our eyes at an alarming speed, making it dizzying.

They saw a general who bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield and made great achievements in battle, but was eventually framed by a traitor and died unjustly; they also saw a scholar who studied hard for ten years in order to gain fame, but when he became famous, he died because of Disheartened by the darkness of officialdom, he retired to the mountains and forests; he also saw a pair of lovers forced to separate due to family hatred, missing each other all their lives and not being allowed to see each other...

Wang Lu and Liu Xue walked side by side, their bodies like ghosts rushing through this mysterious and unpredictable realm of reincarnation. The surrounding scenery is dreamlike, sometimes bizarre, sometimes eerie, and dizzying.

Their eyes widened, and their hearts were filled with endless shock. Everything they saw before them was beyond their previous knowledge, as if it was a completely unfamiliar world full of unknown dangers.

Here, fate is like an invisible thread, controlling everyone's life and death, honor and disgrace. Some people struggle hard in the torrent of fate, but they can never get rid of the established trajectory; some people follow the destiny and go with the flow, but in the end they are just dolls of fate.

Wang Lu stared at those figures who looked so small and helpless in the face of fate, and couldn't help but sigh. He thought of all the hardships he had experienced along the way, and those gaps that he once thought were unbridgeable now seemed to be just a part of his destiny.

Liu Xue sighed softly, with a hint of sadness on her beautiful face. She knows very well how insignificant human power is in the face of this powerful force of destiny. However, her eyes still shine with unyielding light, because she believes that as long as she has faith, she will one day be able to break through the shackles of fate and take control of her own life.

"Liu Xue," Wang Lu raised his head slightly, looked at the vast sky, with a deep look of worry on his face, and said slowly, "it turns out that fate is so elusive, like an invisible mass. , the intangible fog, which makes people trapped but unable to find a way out. Can we mortals really compete with this powerful and mysterious destiny to change its established trajectory? "

Liu Xue, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing Wang Lu's words. She gently stretched out her hand and held Wang Lu's hand tightly, as if she wanted to convey some strength and courage to him through this simple action.

"Wang Lu, don't be so pessimistic." Liu Xue stared into Wang Lu's eyes and said firmly, "Although fate is indeed full of unknowns and variables, it does not mean that we have to sit and wait for death and let it dominate our lives. Regardless of whether we can successfully change our fate in the end, we should at least try bravely. Instead of being manipulated by fate like a puppet, it is better to give it a try with all your strength! In this way, even if you fail, you will not leave any regrets."

At this critical moment, the originally calm and mirror-like reincarnation realm trembled violently without any warning! It was as if the whole world was involved in a violent earthquake, shaking the sky and the earth, making people unstable. And the beautiful dreamlike scene around seemed to have been hit by a huge impact, and began to twist and deform wildly. The originally clear outline gradually became blurred, and finally shattered like a broken mirror.

Wang Lu and Liu Xue, who were in it, changed their faces drastically, and they immediately realized that the current situation was extremely dangerous. The two dared not delay for a moment, and looked around anxiously, trying to find a way to escape in this chaotic environment. However, there was chaos all around, where was there any obvious exit?

In that chaotic and terrifying chaos, there was a thick fog all around, as if swallowing the whole world. However, Wang Lu and Liu Xue were not frightened by this horrible scene. They leaned on each other tightly, relying on the rock-hard faith in their hearts and the tacit understanding cultivated over a long period of time, and groped forward with difficulty.

Every step was full of unknowns and dangers. The road under their feet was rugged and uneven, and sharp stones pierced their feet from time to time, and blood stained the ground red. But they gritted their teeth and persisted without flinching.

Just when the two were almost desperate, suddenly, a faint light appeared not far ahead. The light was like a bright lamp in the dark, bringing them endless hope.

"Look! There is light there!" Wang Lu shouted excitedly.

Liu Xue looked in the direction of his finger, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The two quickened their pace and ran towards the light. When they got closer and closer to the light source, they found that it was actually an exit, through which they could see the familiar courtyard scenery outside.

In the end, they successfully escaped from this terrible reincarnation.

When their feet stepped on the solid ground again and returned to the courtyard, Wang Lu and Liu Xue felt how exhausted and embarrassed they were. Their clothes were already tattered, their bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes, and their hair was scattered on their shoulders.

However, although they looked very bad, their eyes were more determined than ever. After experiencing this life-and-death test, they were no longer confused about the future, and their goals in their hearts became clearer and clearer.

Granny Reincarnation looked at them, with a flash of praise in her eyes: "You can return safely from the realm of reincarnation, it seems that you are determined. Although fate is difficult to change, your courage is commendable."

Fox Fairy also stepped forward: "In this world, there are not many people who can face fate as bravely as you. Perhaps, this is your uniqueness."

Wang Lu and Liu Xue bowed deeply to Granny Reincarnation and Fox Fairy: "Thank you for your guidance and help, Granny and Miss. We understand that fate may not be completely changed, but we can use our own actions to write our own stories. No matter what the ending is, we are worthy of our hearts."

Granny Reincarnation nodded slightly: "Go, children. I hope you can stick to your original intention and move forward courageously on the road ahead."

Wang Lu and Liu Xue said goodbye to Granny Reincarnation and Fox Fairy and left Yunxian Island. When they stepped on the boat again and looked back at the mysterious island that was gradually going away, their hearts were filled with gratitude and strength. They knew that this trip to Yunxian Island would become the most important experience in their lives, making them more calm and determined when facing their future fate.

In the deep valley of Jiuyou, Wang Lu sat quietly beside the cold pond, and the air around him seemed to be condensed by the icy power. In front of him, the Ice Dao Fruit emitting a faint blue light was suspended, like a mysterious crystal from the depths of the ancient glacier.

Wang Lu closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly injecting his spiritual power into the Dao Fruit. At first, the Dao Fruit only trembled slightly, resisting the invasion of external forces. But Wang Lu's spiritual power was tenacious and persistent, and continued to penetrate like a trickle. With the continuous injection of spiritual power, the Ice Dao Fruit gradually emitted a layer of soft blue light. The light was weak at first, but it was constantly increasing, covering Wang Lu's body.

A thin layer of frost began to condense on Wang Lu's clothes, and his skin became icy cold, as if his body was gradually merging with this icy world. He clenched his teeth and ran the skills with all his strength, guiding the power of the Dao Fruit to travel through his meridians. Every inch of his meridians seemed to be cut by a cold blade, causing unbearable pain, but Wang Lu, relying on his tenacious will, always held on to a trace of clarity in his spiritual platform.

The power of the Dao Fruit accumulated more and more in his meridians, gradually converging into a surging torrent. This torrent roared and rushed towards Wang Lu's spiritual sea. The moment it rushed into the spiritual sea, the entire spiritual sea was in turmoil. The originally calm spiritual sea was instantly filled with ice-blue light, and the spiritual power and the power of the Dao Fruit collided and blended with each other, making bursts of thunderous roars.

Under this violent energy impact, Wang Lu's spiritual sea seemed to be torn apart. He felt dizzy and his consciousness began to become blurred. But at this critical moment, a strong desire to survive and a desire for a higher realm surged in his heart. He roared and mobilized all his spiritual power, trying to tame this violent force.

With Wang Lu's efforts, the spiritual power in the spiritual sea and the power of the Dao fruit gradually tended to balance. They intertwined and rotated with each other, forming a huge spiritual power vortex. In the center of the vortex, a crystal clear light began to flicker, which was a sign that the power of space began to condense.

Wang Lu did not dare to slack off and continued to guide the spiritual power vortex to accelerate its rotation. As the speed of the vortex became faster and faster, the power of space was also constantly increasing. The crystal light gradually spread out and formed a tiny space prototype. This space prototype is like a newborn baby, fragile and unstable, but full of infinite vitality and potential.

Wang Lu carefully nurtured this space prototype and injected more spiritual power into it. With the injection of spiritual power, the space prototype began to grow and expand gradually. Its edge became clearer, and the space inside was also increasing. In this process, Wang Lu felt an unprecedented wonderful feeling. He seemed to be integrated with this space, and could feel every change and every growth of it.

However, just as the space was about to take shape, a disturbing force from the outside world suddenly attacked. This force was like a sharp blade, piercing Wang Lu's spiritual sea, trying to destroy the space he was condensing. Wang Lu was shocked and hurriedly divided a part of his spiritual power to resist this disturbing force. But this force was extremely powerful, and his spiritual power was easily defeated the moment it came into contact with it.

Seeing that the interference force was about to break through the defense line and destroy the space he had worked hard to condense, Wang Lu suddenly remembered a kind of spiritual formation he had seen in ancient books. This kind of spiritual formation can temporarily seal the spiritual sea and block external interference. He didn't have time to think about it, and quickly laid a spiritual formation in the spiritual sea. The spiritual formation flashed, temporarily blocking the interference force outside.

But Wang Lu knew that this spiritual formation would not last long. He must complete the condensation of space before the spiritual formation fails. So, he focused all his attention on the space prototype and injected spiritual power frantically. The space prototype grew rapidly under the nourishment of spiritual power. Some blurred scenes began to appear inside it, as if it was a vast starry sky, or an endless glacier.

Finally, at the moment when the spiritual formation was about to collapse, the space prototype successfully condensed into a complete space. This space was suspended in Wang Lu's spiritual sea, emitting a faint blue light, like a bright star. Wang Lu was overjoyed, he knew that he had successfully used the Ice Dao Fruit to upgrade to the middle stage of the Dao of Shaping, and formed a unique space in his body.

Although this space is still small, it has great potential. Wang Lu can store items, practice exercises, and even use the power of space to launch powerful attacks.

He felt the existence of this space in his body, and his heart was full of expectations for the future. He knew that he had taken another solid step on the road of cultivating immortals, and there were more challenges and opportunities waiting for him ahead.
