Chapter 122 Three Lives, Three Worlds, Southern Beginning 4
Nan Chu cultivated in the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest for another five thousand years. Zhe Yan was very attentive in teaching her medical skills, and Nan Chu studied very diligently. In the span of twenty thousand years, Nan Chu had read almost all of Zhe Yan's collection of books and learned almost all of his medical skills.
That day, Nan Chu sat on the peach tree as usual. Nan Chu was uncharacteristically barefoot, revealing a pair of delicate jade feet. Her feet swayed back and forth, representing the protagonist's happy mood.
Zheyan sat on the right side of the peach tree, gazing at the fair and delicate jade feet. He looked away uncomfortably, his ears turning pink.
Nan Chu jumped down from the peach tree and hopped over to Zhe Yan's side, saying calmly, "Zhe Yan, I want to go and gain experience."
Zheyan panicked for a moment, then feigned calmness and asked, "What made you decide to go on a training trip?"
Nan Chu said earnestly, "Godfather, I have been thinking about this decision for a long time. My cultivation has reached the peak of the Upper Immortal realm. I need some training or an opportunity to advance to the Upper God realm."
Nan Chu originally wanted to travel to all corners of the world as soon as he became an immortal. After Bai Zhen and Zhe Yan's relationship became complicated, he was still promoted to a god three thousand years ago.
She needs to travel to all corners of the world to find out what's going on, and there's still no clue about the underworld.
Bai Zhi has not appeared yet; it is unknown whether he is truly traveling the world or hiding somewhere else.
Since being taught a lesson by Zheyan, Bai Qian has not appeared in the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, and has been staying in Qingqiu and the Eastern Wilderness.
The Southern Dynasty was delayed for five thousand years, firstly because Zheyan hadn't finished reading all the books in his collection, and secondly because Zheyan's medical skills were exceptional.
“Nan Chu, you’re only a little over 20,000 years old…” Zhe Yan heard Nan Chu call him godfather. He understood that Nan Chu was determined, but it would be good if there was even a sliver of hope to persuade him.
"Godfather, I've thought this through very clearly." Nan Chu looked directly at Zhe Yan.
Nan Chu cultivates the power of life force. Zhe Yan is a being of both god and demonic nature. After the war, the balance between the gods and demons within him was disrupted. Zhe Yan sealed the Fuxi Qin to suppress his demonic nature. Nan Chu's arrival restored the balance between the gods and demons within Zhe Yan.
The time Zheyan spent with Nanchu was the most enjoyable, as he didn't need to use his power to suppress his demonic nature.
Nan Chu had spent a lot of time with Zhe Yan and knew about his situation.
Nan Chu reached into her storage ring and handed a jade pendant to Zhe Yan.
“Godfather, this contains my life force. If you carry it with you, it will suppress the demonic nature within you.”
"When do we set off?" Zheyan took the jade pendant, knowing he couldn't persuade Nan Chu.
"Ten days from now. We'll need to prepare some herbs and pills." Nan Chu counted on her fingers, looking down as she listed the herbs and pills she needed to prepare.
Zheyan shook his head. Although he was very worried about Nan Chu, strength that hadn't been tested in actual combat was just an empty shell.
Ten days later, Zheyan put everything he had prepared into his storage ring, and Nan Chu left the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest unburdened.
Nan Chu first went to check the Five Desolations occupied by the Nine-Tailed White Fox, and did not find anything unusual for the time being. Perhaps there were unusual things that Nan Chu could not see. Moreover, Nan Chu was worried that the Nine-Tailed White Fox was playing tricks, so she did not dare to get too close to the center.
Along the way, I heard about Bai Qian's harm to other living beings.
Nan Chu had wondered why Bai Qian, who had harmed so many living beings, should have no merit and her soul should be impure. But Bai Qian's merit was always considerable and her soul had not changed. Was this some kind of female protagonist halo?
Nan Chu then went to the remaining three of the eight wildernesses.
"Host, there's something wrong with these Three Wastes!" The system's voice suddenly came, startling Nan Chu.
"What happened?" Nan Chu asked.
“The spiritual energy in the Three Desolations has become much thinner, completely different from the Five Desolations occupied by the Nine-Tailed White Fox.”
The system voice then came out: "Moreover, there is actually a huge formation in the Three Desolations, which is unlike any formation in this world. This formation is absorbing the spiritual energy of the Three Desolations."
Nan Chu looked puzzled: "If that's the case, didn't Donghua and Zheyan realize it all these years?"
The system explained: "Donghua did calculate it, but he didn't find the formation. He thought it was because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disappeared on its own. Zheyan didn't leave the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, and Moyuan and Yaoguang have been in Kunlun Mountain all along. Moreover, if the host hadn't cultivated the power of life force, this system wouldn't have been able to find it either."
Nan Chu pondered a thousand possibilities, wondering who did it—whether it was the Winged Clan, the Demon Clan, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, or some other clan—and where the spiritual energy of the Three Desolations had been diverted.
"System, do you have any ideas?" Nan Chu asked.
"There's no good solution right now. The host is currently at the level of an immortal, so even if there were a way to break the formation, the host wouldn't be able to use it."
Nan Chu's face darkened. Okay, she knew she was weak.
After discussing it with the system, Nan Chu decided to wait until she reached the level of a high god before taking another look at the formation.
Nan Chu went to the Four Seas again and even went to find her original secret realm. She infused the secret realm with vitality, so that in ten thousand years, it could become a fairyland full of spiritual energy again.
He traveled to the Winged Realm, the Demon Realm, and then spent several hundred years in the human world, accumulating a great deal of merit.
With the system's help, two important items were found: fragments of the key to the underworld, one in the human world and the other in the demon realm.
After traveling and stopping along the way, 20,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Nan Chu returned to the original secret realm and, with the help of the system, set up an array to isolate the outside world from this place.
Nan Chu has begun her sprint towards becoming a High God. She feels that her strength has reached its peak, and with the practical experience and merits accumulated over the years, she can now attempt to become a High God.
Five thousand years have passed, and Nan Chu has been cultivating ever since. Today, she feels as if the meridians in her body have been opened up.
Not long after, Nan Chu arrived at an open space in the secret realm, where huge dark clouds appeared in the sky.
Nan Chu originally thought that the High God would only have to undergo a love tribulation, but she didn't expect that she would still have to undergo a lightning tribulation. This time, the thunderclouds were even more terrifying than when she underwent the High Immortal tribulation.
The sky was like a giant beast, as if it wanted to swallow up Nan Chu.
Lightning rippled across the night sky, thunder roared deafeningly, and every now and then a few silver snakes flashed through the thunderclouds, as if to tear the world apart.
Fortunately, Nan Chu had followed the system's instructions and strengthened the array of the secret realm. Otherwise, this commotion would have been announcing to the whole world that she was undergoing tribulation, and it would have been bad if she had been ambushed.
Suddenly, a white light streaked across the sky, followed closely by thunder, like the roar of a god.
One after another, the Southern Beginning has been completely different in these two thousand years. Not only is its physique stronger, but its merits are also much greater.
After enduring eighty-one lightning strikes, the dark clouds finally cleared, and a spiritual rain descended.
Nan Chu sat on the ground in meditation, waiting for her injuries to heal to almost complete.
"Great, I've finally reached the level of a High God." Nan Chu murmured. Although nothing major had happened in the past 20,000 years, Nan Chu knew that her strength was still too weak.
Without sufficient strength, many things cannot be accomplished.
Nan Chu thought of something. Ye Hua took 70,000 years to become a High God, which is already considered to be a very good talent. She wondered what kind of talent she had to achieve in 50,000 years to become a High God.
