Warm Fuzzies

Chapter 5

The young master holds a sharp blade, his gaze is as firm as a blade, and he is indifferent to the opponent's brave attacks, as if these attacks have not affected him in any way.

The young master Xuelang had a sharp reaction and quick-witted movements, which made the opponent retreat steadily.

Not long after, he cut off the opponent's weapon with one move! Victory was won without any suspense.

The young master Xuelang put away his two swords, and stood calmly on the Xiantai, with a tall and straight figure and an ordinary expression, as if his emotions were not affected by this battle.

On the contrary, his opponent looked a little embarrassed at this time. After a fierce battle, his legs and knees were already unstable, and he could barely stand up.

The young master bowed slightly to him as a mutual thank and salute, then turned around, walked slowly back to the flower seat, and put the brocade fur on his body again.

Ya sparrow was silent.

Young Master Snow Wolf sat back on the seat.

"Thank you, young master!"

The opponent finally came back to his senses at this time, and quickly returned a salute to the young master, but the shock he received in the battle just now had not dissipated, so he was afraid to look directly at the opponent.

He has tried many times with the young master, but he has never lost so quickly.

The young master has become stronger again.

The young master has become stronger so fast, far surpassing anyone in their generation. No wonder he reached the peak of a realm so early, even compared to the current wolf king. It is hard to see that he is still enduring the occasional seizures. illness.

Young Master Snow Wolf seemed to ponder for a short while, before saying: "I also want to thank you. You have improved a lot compared to last time, and we both should gain something from this battle."

After that, he waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, so I'll go back first. Go ahead."

"yes!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young master Xuelang raised his body, supported the snow-white fur coat on his shoulder with one hand, and left in the direction of walking down the Xiantai.

Seeing the young master leaving and handing over the scene to others, the wolf fairy followed, carefully watching the young master's expression.

Young Master Snow Wolf walked straight forward without looking sideways.

Today is the day when the wolf fairy disciples of the same age in the wolf territory compete for rankings, and it happens every six months. Today's battle will determine the status and respect of each disciple among the wolves. Therefore, although it is a duel, everyone will still try their best to fight for it. However, the young master doesn't seem to care about it. Just halfway through the competition, he had a headache Did not go back.

The wolf officer couldn't help asking: "Young master, are you still worried about the impending breach?"

The pace of Young Master Snow Wolf stagnated for a moment, but he didn't stop there, and continued to walk forward.

The young master is about to usher in a realm breakthrough.

People in the fairy world practice Taoism, and every time they accumulate to a certain level, there will be a leap-like improvement. A leap is a state, and the process of leaping is a breakthrough. The immortal energy will change drastically when breaking through the realm. Those who break through the realm usually have to face many tests set by the heavens and experience hardships that are impossible to experience in ordinary cultivation. Therefore, breaking through a realm is like experiencing a catastrophe, but Comprehension can make people instantly enlightened and immediately reach a whole new level.

With the young master's current strength, it is not particularly difficult to break through the first level realm normally. But breaking the situation is dangerous after all, the young master's cold disease is a great hidden danger, no one knows what will happen when the situation is broken, if the young master's cold disease happened to happen at that time, the consequences would be disastrous.

For this reason, the young master has been painstakingly cultivating recently, trying to improve his cultivation as much as possible before breaking through.

The wolf officer sighed and comforted: "Young master, don't be too anxious. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. With the young master's cultivation base, it is a sure thing to break through this level. The wolf king and the wolf queen have already done it. Now that I have prepared for this, it is almost impossible for there to be any mistakes. I have already done everything that can be done, and the rest depends on the destiny."

Young Master Snow Wolf was silent for a moment, then said, "I know."

While speaking, the two of them had already entered the dao room where the young master practiced daily.

The Taoist room is spacious, with a fire burning in the room, there is a faint burning fragrance, mats are spread on the floor, and paintings are hung on the walls.

There are pictures of stars and beasts hanging on all sides of the Taoist room, all the prototypes of the gods and beasts in charge of the stars in Jiuchongtian, only the image of the nine-tailed fox was painted with ink, and a big cross floated on the painting. Among the divine beasts, it looked particularly glaring and miserable.

The nine-tailed fox was originally one of the nine heavenly beasts. However, thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the nine-tailed fox led the whole family to move to the fairyland. Some accident happened on the way, and all of them disappeared. gone. At that time, many immortals and beasts tried to find it, but they found nothing. Since then, the fairy spirit of the nine-tailed fox has never appeared in the Jiuzhongtian.

In a blink of an eye, the nine-tailed fox has been extinct for thousands of years.

Because of the loss of fairy energy, all the nine-tailed fox's star and beast maps naturally floated crosses, the star in charge dimmed, and the fairy scroll was half removed. Take care, in recent years, there are far fewer people who have enlightened their spiritual wisdom than in the past, and even none of them have succeeded in cultivation. The situation is quite miserable.

As soon as the wolf officer entered the Taoist room, he immediately saw the picture of the nine-tailed fox with a cross.

I saw a crescent moon painted on the divine map, and a snow-white nine-tailed fox rested on the moon, its nine tails hanging down lightly like clouds, with a lazy and comfortable posture.

It's just a pity that as time goes by, the fairy aura of Shentu gradually dissipates, not only floating, but even the color gradually dims.

The wolf officer looked at this picture and couldn't help feeling emotional: "I heard from my great-grandfather in the past that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, both male and female, were beauties as beautiful as the moon and flowers. Who is better between Chunli and the beauty of the pheasant family, the first beauty has never won or lost for many years, all because they have never seen a nine-tailed fox."

The young master Snow Wolf took off his heavy fur coat, followed the wolf officer's words, and his eyes fell on the picture of the nine-tailed fox, but he just glanced at the faded nine-tailed fox and didn't pay attention.

It has been more than a thousand years since the nine-tailed fox disappeared. For these new immortals who were born only seventeen years ago, the nine-tailed fox has existed for too long.

In his mind right now, there is nothing but breaking the boundary.

Young Master Snow Wolf sat down in the middle of the Taoist room, beside the red-hot stove.

He said to the wolf official: "You go back, the day of breaking the boundary is not far away, I want to retreat and practice alone here for a while, if there is nothing important, don't let people disturb you."

"yes!"

Officer Wolf quickly responded.

In fact, he won't be able to stay for long, it's already warm spring, but in order to prevent the young master's cold from recurring, his room is always lit with charcoal all the year round, the young master's physique doesn't matter, but other people can't.

It took only a short while for the wolf officer to walk in, and there were already big beads of sweat on his forehead, and the back of his spring shirt was soaked in a large area.

The wolf officer had to wipe off his sweat, and Fang said: "Young master, then I will stay soon, if you need something, call me."

"Ok."

After the wolf officer withdrew from the Taoist room, only the young Xuelang was left in the Taoist room.

Snow Wolf slowly stretched out his hand to the side of the stove, feeling the warm temperature from the hot air, his eyes were imprinted with the red and jumping stove light.

He knew from an early age that he was different from others, even when he was not sick during the hot summer months, he never felt as hot as others. Whenever he was around a hot fire, no matter how desperately others tried to escape, he felt nothing but warmth.

Only by cultivating desperately, only by constantly breaking through and improving his cultivation base, will the cold disease affect him less and less, and he can try his best to be like a normal person.

Young Master Snow Wolf lowered his eyes slightly, he waved his sleeves and closed his hands, sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

The day when the Snow Wolf Young Master breaks through is just three days later.

For the past three days, he has hardly been able to leave the house behind closed doors. He seized the last time to devote himself to cultivation, and only hoped that no accidents would happen.

Three days later, the young master opened the door of the Taoist room, and walked up to the Jiuxiao Yuntai wearing a white fur coat.

Above the Yuntai, the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen were already waiting for him at the entrance of the Yuntai.

The wolf queen held his hand and said, "Zilan, mother has already arranged everything. When you break through, you must be careful and don't be impatient. Father and mother will always be by the cloud platform, waiting for you to return smoothly."

Zi Lan's eyes moved to the side of the cloud platform, and saw that there were suspended stoves at the four corners of the cloud platform as far as the eye could see. Extinguish, and you can bless you for peace, parents love their children in every detail.

Zilan met the wolf king and the wolf queen with deep concern, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt heavily, and bowed down to his parents sincerely, with his sleeves swaying to the ground, and his hair crown facing the sky.

There were tears in the eyes of the wolf king and the queen, but they held back and never let them fall.

"Father, mother, I'm over."

After the family of three left, it was time for Zilan to go to robbery, and the wolf king and queen finally let go of his hand reluctantly.

The young master Xuelang once again waved his fists to his parents to say goodbye, and finally turned around and stepped into the Jiuxiao Yuntai.

The moment his boots stepped on the cloud platform, the surface of the platform shook like a mirror of water, and ripples rippled from the soles of the boots, gradually turning into a sea of ​​clouds and floating clouds for thousands of miles. Zilan followed the ripples to the center step by step, only to see a small palm-length pagoda floating straight in the center of the original cloud platform, with a clear golden light glowing in the center of the pagoda.

Zilan put his hand on the tower.

This is the Yuntai Golden Pagoda for breaking through the realm. People who plan to break through the realm need to step out of the void, touch the golden tower, and use the golden tower to judge their level of cultivation. If they meet the conditions, they can see what they need to cross to break through the realm. The fate of the checkpoint is sometimes thunder, sometimes it is frozen for thousands of miles, and sometimes it is an illusion.

Young Master Xuelang's hand touched the golden pagoda, and in an instant, the flow of aura in the pagoda rushed into his black hair. Zilan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything on the cloud platform was gone. All of them disappeared, and what appeared in front of his eyes was an endless darkness and a chessboard glowing in the darkness. His parents couldn't come with him, but the four sacred furnaces were still suspended in the four corners, and they were followed closely by the guardian.

It is thirty-six formations of broken chess.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zilan immediately understood what it was, and felt a little relieved.

Although there are many kinds of immortal tribulations, most of them have been experienced by elders. Although the experience cannot be fully substituted, it is possible to infer the method of breaking it based on this. If you want to break through the realm, most of the people who are tested cannot escape the six characters of cultivation, character, and comprehension. Once you have some insights in the process of breaking through the realm, you will not be far from the next realm.

Just as Lei Jie usually has eighty-one main thunders plus several small thunders, this chess formation usually consists of thirty-six games, and after each game, a phantom beast will appear, allowing the breaker to fight with it.

Zi Lan knew it well, he flipped up his clothes and sat down on one side of the chessboard, holding the black, and made the first move.

As soon as his black piece landed, the white piece immediately landed on the board with a "click", as if someone was playing against each other.

The wolf is kind and forbearing, and Zilan is the best among them. He is very patient and can adapt to this long chess game. Rao the tricky tricks and repeated provocations in this chess formation, he is not shaken at all. He concentrates on dormant and secretly arranges , It was not until the critical moment that one blow was dispatched, and the lore was instant!

The moment he landed his last piece on the chessboard and won the game, a gust of wind suddenly surged in the darkness! I saw the spiritual energy sweeping like a storm, and gradually outlined the outline of a golden leopard not far away. As soon as the golden leopard took shape, it immediately roared, revealing a mouthful of sharp fierce teeth! Then he ran with four claws and rushed towards him nimbly!

Zilan's expression remained unchanged, he quickly showed his two swords, and with just one move, he hit the oncoming golden leopard! The golden leopard howled unwillingly, turned into aura again and disappeared into nothingness.

In this way, Zilan sat back to the distance again, only to see that the chessboard had been cleared, and the positions of the black and white pieces had been switched. He stretched out his hand to hold the white piece, and started playing chess again.

Just like this, Zilan won one round after another in one breath, and the phantom beasts that appeared after each round gradually changed from leopards to giant pythons, tigers, and later even jiao, vaguely showing the posture of a dragon .

At this time, after thirty innings, Zi Lan has been silently remembering the number in his heart, but even so, he has been able to handle it with ease from the very beginning, and gradually became more difficult. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body could hardly resist fatigue.

After all, it is very difficult to break through. Zilan already felt that after experiencing so many chess games, his concentration will definitely be greatly improved when he returns to reality, but at this time he has obviously felt that it is difficult to support.

Finally, after the thirty-second game, the dragon appeared.

Zilan held double blades and fought back powerfully, but after so many rounds of wheel battles, he was already exhausted. After several rounds of fighting with the golden dragon, he finally couldn't help showing his original shape!

Zilan's original form is the mythical beast Snow Wolf.

With a flash of silver light, an extremely tall wolf appeared in the darkness. He is more than ten times the size of a normal male wolf. His fur is as bright as a silver moon, his eyes are as bright as the morning stars, his four claws are sharp and wind-ridden, and his appearance is mighty. Both of them are divine beasts, and when Zi Lan's image that seems to be glowing with brilliance appears, his momentum is not inferior to the Golden Dragon in the thirty-second game in front of him, and he even wins by a little bit.

The combat power of these divine beasts is usually stronger than the human body, but the human body alone can tell the winner. Therefore, if the two sides fight, if one side is forced out of its original shape, it will be a shame that its skills are not as good as human beings. The original form can also save more stamina, so it is usually saved until the end.

Zilan couldn't support himself anymore and had to show his original shape, but his eyes were still fixed on the golden dragon, his chest heaved violently, and he was panting.

He rushed forward quickly, and a wolf and a dragon started fighting!

Zi Lan was still able to maintain an even match with her human body, but after transforming into her original form, she immediately gained the upper hand.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a very faint strange breath, which was fleeting. Zilan's eyes moved, and he subconsciously felt that there was something wrong, but the golden dragon kept roaring and attacking, and the battle was fierce, he couldn't separate his mind at all.

The next moment, a ray of cold air flowed into Zilan's chest, and he trembled all of a sudden, nearly falling to the ground!

The cold is coming!

But it's really at this time!

However, in an instant, one of the sacred furnaces in one corner went out with a "poof", followed by three "poof", "poof", and "poof", all three furnace fires were extinguished, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.

Zilan suddenly trembled from the cold!

The cold disease in his body is very dangerous. Once it gets sick, it will affect quickly. He was able to support it just now because of the protection of the **** fire furnace. Now that the **** fire furnace is extinguished, Zilan immediately found that the whole chess formation was icy cold, like being in an ice cellar. generally.

But how could the **** furnace be extinguished? In the furnace is the fire of immortal energy, which can go hand in hand to go to calamity. Generally speaking, it should be unabated and inextinguishable...

Taking advantage of the moment when he suffered from the outbreak of cold and pain, the golden dragon roared wildly, flew out its sharp claws, and tore fiercely at Zilan's body, tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood immediately!

Zi Lan had no time to think about it, he let out a growl, tried his best to endure the cold and sickness, and bravely rushed towards the golden dragon!

He had a cold attack, but the golden dragon was also very weak. Zilan resisted tenaciously, and after many twists and turns, he finally held the golden dragon under his claws again!

The golden dragon let out a roar, and finally turned into golden threads and dissipated.

Zilan was gasping for breath, his whole body was bitingly cold, and was about to turn into a human body to play chess again, but suddenly felt a huge force appearing from behind, as if pushing him down hard——

Zilan's wolf eyes lit up, but before he could react, his gaze was turned upside down, his body fell straight down, and his feet were empty, with nowhere to rely on—

boom!

"Sydney!"

Sydney was playing in the forest with the white deer and the rabbits, happily chasing the little rabbit's tail, but at this moment, there was a sudden roar in the depths of the forest, like a loud crash of a heavy object falling to the ground. Startled by the noise, all the animals stopped and raised their ears to look in the direction of the loud noise.

I saw a few spirit trees fell down in embarrassment at that place, and some tall ones were broken halfway and half hung on other trees.

Bailu said anxiously: "I just saw something fall from the sky!"

"Aww?"

Of course, Xue Li also heard the sound, her tail was raised up nervously, but when she saw the nervous white deer and the small animals huddling together in fright, she thought for a while, and then said: "You guys first Stay here, I'll go and have a look!"

Sydney has the highest cultivation base among all of them, and holds the key of Wonderland, so she has a strong initiative in Wonderland.

The little rabbits said worriedly: "You have to be careful! We are waiting for you not far away."

"Aw!"

Sydney responded, and then walked into the depths of the woods.

She dragged her tail and jumped briskly all the way to the place where the bang was made, familiar with the road.

Strange to say, she did feel a new sense of immortality in the fairyland, stronger than everyone else in the fairyland, but she didn't feel scared, on the contrary, she felt more fresh and curious.

Soon, she arrived at the place where the loud noise was. As expected, a lot of trees were broken, and the forest was in a mess. She carefully pushed aside the leaves and poked her head out, only to find an animal she had never seen before lying in that part of the forest. He was huge, shaped like a wolf, and covered in snow-colored long fur.

Sydney tilted her head, walked lightly, and jumped over with her little paws.

Zilan hadn't lost consciousness at this time, he didn't know how long he fell from the Nine Heavens and where he landed, he just felt as if he had bumped into many things, coupled with the cold, he was in a very weak state state of pain.

He barely opened his eyelids to see the situation, and saw a beautiful snow-white little fox with nine tails coming out of the woods nervously and curiously, walking towards him cautiously.
