Chapter 205 Mu En: Trembling as He Meets the Sky (Part 1)
Held tightly in Kong Tianxu's arms, Zhang Lexuan felt a pure and overflowing joy emanating from him like a warm tide, gently enveloping her.
Influenced by this thought, the complex emotions in her heart were strangely soothed and softened.
So, seeing me makes him this happy?
Thinking of this, the shyness in her heart immediately vanished, leaving only a deep longing and dependence.
"Waaah~"
A warm breath, mixed with a tingling sensation, gently landed on her sensitive neck. Zhang Lexuan's delicate body trembled slightly involuntarily.
She felt the heat seem to be continuing downwards, and the hands around her waist began to wander restlessly. Reason told her she should stop, but her body seemed to have its own memory and desires. Instead of retreating, it pressed even closer to that firm and warm chest.
until-
Kong Tianxu turned his head and looked down at her delicate earlobe, which looked almost crystal clear in the morning light, and gently bit it.
"ah!"
Zhang Lexuan's body trembled violently, her eyes instantly went blank and lost focus, her small mouth opened slightly, and a red bud gently emerged, spraying out a layer of misty water vapor.
"Senior Sister, you're such a weakling."
Kong Tianxu chuckled as he helped Zhang Lexuan, whose body had slumped against him, steady her and patiently combed the few strands of damp hair that clung to her forehead and cheeks with a light sheen of sweat.
Then, he pressed his cheek against her burning cheek to help reduce her burning sensation.
"It's all your fault." Zhang Lexuan was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. After she regained some strength, she quickly withdrew from Kong Tianxu and pressed her legs tightly together.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she turned around in a fluster and picked up an exquisite multi-tiered food box from the side.
"By the way, your body must be greatly affected by your deep meditation. I specially prepared this for you, so eat it quickly."
I really don't know how you have the energy to think about those things when you're hungry —
As she finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan mumbled something, lowering her head and not daring to look at him, clearly indicating that she herself lacked confidence.
"I'm not hungry, but since it was brought by my senior sister, I can't let it go to waste."
Kong Tianxu accepted it with a smile. Prolonged deep meditation can indeed cause the body to fall into a state of suspended animation due to lack of nutrient replenishment, making it difficult to even lift one's eyelids and wake up.
In the original story, after Huo Yuhao gained a deeper understanding of the "Ruling the World" technique, his cultivation level declined instead of increasing due to blockages in his meridians. This was even after his body underwent multiple modifications; for a normal Soul Master, half a year of deep meditation might even have been life-threatening.
This is why the opportunity for deep meditation at the Golden Tree is so precious. Nourished by the massive energy of the Golden Tree, the tree of life and light, the Soul Master's physical functions can naturally be kept at their best.
However, Kong Tianxu naturally didn't need to worry about this. The living metal, which was already at the level of a divine artifact, had merged with his body, so even if he didn't eat or drink for a thousand years, he wouldn't perish.
Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at him helplessly, but that one glance sent a jolt through her soul.
A faint golden light appeared in Kong Tianxu's eyes. This light, which was almost imperceptible without careful observation, made Zhang Lexuan feel a buzzing in her brain, as if she had been instantly thrown into some kind of vast mental field, producing a strong resonance and a slight dizziness.
She was absolutely certain that Kong Tianxu's level of spiritual power had far surpassed her own, and even exceeded the scope of her understanding.
Zhang Lexuan quickly compared herself to all the powerful figures she had ever met in her mind and was shocked to find that among all the titled Douluo she knew, apart from the deceased Elder Mu, no one could bring her such pure spiritual pressure.
Even Elder Mu was merely unfathomable; he didn't possess the kind of spiritual power that Kong Tianxu had that she found completely irresistible.
She now realizes more clearly that even if her Moon Martial Soul and Kong Tianxu's Silver Dragon are not in a one-sided symbiotic relationship, she still cannot be Kong Tianxu's opponent.
His terrifying elemental power and the mental strength he is currently displaying have far exceeded Zhang Lexuan's understanding.
Watching Kong Tianxu devour his food, Zhang Lexuan smiled gently. She wished this exchange would never end.
Just as she was slightly lost in thought, Kong Tianxu's calm voice came again, interrupting her reverie: "Le Xuan, I wonder if Dean Yan is at the Sea God Pavilion right now?"
In front of the Sea God Pavilion, the ancient golden tree's vigorous branches cast dappled shadows in the sunlight, exuding an ancient and magnificent life force.
Under the respectful guidance of an inner court deacon, Kong Tianxu walked through the quiet corridor and entered the core area that symbolized Shrek's highest power and secrets.
Yan Shaozhe seemed to have sensed his arrival long ago, his figure appearing silently. He looked at the young man before him, whose aura was even more composed than before, a complex look flashing across his eyes before finally settling into a businesslike calm.
"Come with me."
Without further ado, Yan Shaozhe turned and led the way, the two entering the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion one after the other. Everything here was so ancient and rustic; it seemed that all the materials used, from the furniture to the decorations, matched the unique character of the Sea God Pavilion itself.
The wood is the same.
In the center of the spacious hall, there was a long table, but it was empty. Clearly, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion did not want to meet Kong Tianxu in this setting.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Yan Shaozhe thought for a moment and smiled, "Tianxu, isn't it strange that the Sea God Pavilion doesn't look particularly impressive? But I wonder if you've noticed that the Sea God Pavilion wasn't built, but rather carved."
Kong Tianxu ignored him, and Yan Shaozhe, unfazed, continued, "In fact, the Sea God Pavilion was originally part of this rare golden tree. Without affecting the life of this tree imbued with light and vitality, the academy's predecessors used this golden tree as the foundation to carve the Sea God Pavilion. Therefore, the Sea God Pavilion you see has no trace of splicing. The various furnishings inside the Sea God Pavilion, as well as the statues before you, were all made from the wood excavated during the carving process. This golden tree—"
Yan Shaozhe paused here and did not continue, but Kong Tianxu knew his unfinished meaning. This golden tree could be said to be the foundation of Shrek Academy.
Instead of ascending, they followed the spiraling wooden staircase downwards, venturing deeper into the depths of the Sea God's Pavilion. The wooden walls on either side of the staircase were inlaid with special crystals that emitted a soft white light, illuminating their path. The deeper they descended, the purer and more ancient the surrounding life force became, as if they were gradually approaching the heart of this golden tree.
Kong Tianxu had expected there to be a door ahead, but there wasn't. A golden light shone, and everything around him suddenly became illusory.
A rich golden halo instantly enveloped Kong Tianxu and his companion. He felt a flash of light before his eyes, and then his feet lost their footing. The next moment, when he landed on solid ground, the golden light around him had quietly disappeared.
The original Sea God Pavilion was gone. Kong Tianxu looked around and found himself in a spacious hall. This huge hall was a hundred meters long on each side and was square in shape. Its size was about the same as the arena of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament that he had participated in last time.
Several passageways stretched along both sides of the hall, their destinations unknown. There were no windows; everything was sealed off, yet the air was remarkably fresh. Inside the hall stood statues, just like those at the entrance to Shrek Academy. The Golden Triangle plus the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils. However, these statues were naturally much smaller than those at the academy entrance, and appeared to be made of wood.
"This place is the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion. There are a total of 108 rooms here, which took the academy a thousand years of time to develop and encompass environments suitable for almost all types of martial souls. Every inner court disciple has one opportunity to come here for deep meditation. Cultivating here is twice as effective with half the effort and will greatly benefit your cultivation. However, the most precious thing here is not just that it allows soul masters to cultivate. More importantly, it helps soul masters find their own path."
Yan Shaozhe took the lead and walked towards the middle passage, with Kong Tianxu following behind him, looking at the dome-shaped space naturally enveloped by thick golden roots.
"Every Soul Master has their own path to walk. Power attack, agility attack, control, support—these are just the most basic things."
To achieve greater success, you must find your path more accurately and precisely. No one can tell you how to walk this path; you must find it yourself. For you two with twin martial souls, finding your path is even more crucial.
As they spoke, Yan Shaozhe had already reached the end of the passage, where a wooden door, also made of golden tree wood but much heavier than those in the other rooms, came into view. On the door, the natural wood grain seemed to form a totem of phoenix rebirth, and a faint warmth emanated from it.
Yan Shaozhe stopped and solemnly introduced, "This place is called Wutong Pavilion. It is the main root system of the Golden Tree and the place where the Ultimate Flame Limit Douluo passed away four thousand years ago, before the Sea God Pavilion was established. In later generations, the Sea God Pavilion Master and some elders would come here before their death to leave their life's insights in the Golden Tree. It can be said to be the most precious part of the Golden Tree."
"Your talent and strength are beyond doubt, but the powers you've explored are indeed vast. Whether you can find a path that suits you here, purify your mind, and refine your martial spirit depends entirely on your own opportunities and comprehension."
Kong Tianxu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the wooden door of the Wutong Pavilion.
Shrek Academy is indeed deeply rooted in tradition, and the fact that they could produce this private room is in line with their characteristics.
Unfortunately, his goal for this trip was far more important and more direct than simply appreciating the legacy of the sages.
I reached out and pushed the door. The door seemed to be only slightly ajar; with a gentle touch, it quietly opened inward.
