Chapter 854: Immortal Signs Emerge: Xiao Bei Explores a New Path
Xiao Bei held Bei Li's soft hand tightly, but beads of sweat oozed out of his palm.
The sudden feeling of unease lingered, as if an invisible hand was tightly strangling his throat.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and slowly walked towards Elder Lingfeng.
"Elder Lingfeng." Xiao Bei's voice was low and powerful, yet with a hint of subtle solemnity.
Elder Lingfeng was stroking his beard, his face filled with joy at surviving the disaster.
Hearing Xiao Bei's voice, he turned around and smiled kindly: "Xiao Bei, this time you have turned the tide and saved the fairy world from disaster. Your merits are truly immeasurable."
Xiao Bei shook his head, his brows furrowed, and did not relax despite the elder's praise.
"Elder, I always feel that something is wrong." He paused and told the inexplicable premonition in his heart truthfully.
"Although the Lord of the Abyss has been slain, I still feel uneasy, as if a greater crisis is brewing."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Elder Lingfeng's face gradually faded.
He carefully looked at Xiao Bei's expression, and seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be pretending, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
"Xiao Bei, I understand your concerns." Elder Lingfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "But the Immortal Realm has just returned to peace, and everything needs to be rebuilt. After the war, people's minds have settled down, so it's not appropriate to stir up trouble again. Perhaps you're just too exhausted, which is why you have this illusion."
When Xiao Bei heard this, his heart sank slightly.
He knew that what Elder Lingfeng said made sense, but the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.
He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Elder, I understand your concerns. It's better to believe it than not. If there really is a crisis lurking, we must prepare early to avoid repeating the same mistakes."
Elder Lingfeng frowned slightly. He thought Xiao Bei was too worried and disturbed the rare peace in the fairy world.
"Xiao Bei, you have made great contributions to saving the fairy world. I will naturally consider your ideas seriously." Elder Lingfeng's tone softened a little, but still carried a hint of unquestionable meaning.
"However, this matter still needs to be carefully considered and we must not act rashly."
The air seemed to freeze and the atmosphere became tense.
Xiao Bei and Elder Lingfeng, one was worried and insisted on his own opinion; the other was steady and conservative and unwilling to take risks. There was a clear difference in their opinions.
At this moment, Bei Li, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly called out softly: "Xiao Bei..."
Beili's voice was soft, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
She took a step forward, gently held Xiao Bei's hand, and felt the sweat on his palm.
She understood the heavy sense of responsibility in Xiao Bei's heart, and also understood his extraordinary sharp intuition.
But she was even more afraid that he would fall into unknown danger again.
She still vividly remembered the pain brought on by the Lord of the Abyss and didn't want to experience it again.
She applied a little force with her fingertips, trying to convey her support, but with a hint of barely perceptible resistance.
The two completely different emotions intertwined together, making her heart like a surging tide, difficult to calm down.
The air around seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Xiao Bei keenly captured Bei Li's contradiction.
He gently held her hand back, feeling the warmth of her palm, and a warm current surged in his heart, but also a hint of helplessness.
He knew that Beili was worried about him, but since it concerned the safety of the fairy world, he could not retreat.
At this delicate stalemate, a crisp voice broke the silence.
"Xiao Beixianzun, Elder Lingfeng."
Fairy Xinglan came over slowly with light lotus steps. Her voice was like a clear mountain spring, lively and agile.
Today, she is wearing a light blue fairy dress, which further highlights her pure and elegant temperament.
"Xinglan, what's the matter?" Elder Lingfeng's tone softened a little, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Fairy Xinglan.
Fairy Xinglan bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I heard by chance that Taoist Xuanying recently appeared at the edge of the Immortal Realm. He is proficient in divination and may be able to answer the Immortal Venerable's doubts."
"Master Xuanying?" Xiao Bei had heard of the name of Master Xuanying in his early years. It was said that this person had the ability to predict the future, but his whereabouts were erratic and extremely difficult to find.
"Are you serious?" Xiao Bei's tone was filled with anxiety. He stared at Fairy Xinglan, fearing that this was just a false rumor.
Fairy Xinglan met Xiao Bei's gaze without flinching. She said with certainty, "I dare not speak rashly. I heard this from a well-traveled fairy friend. It shouldn't be wrong."
With the affirmation from Fairy Xinglan, the fire of hope in Xiao Bei's heart was instantly ignited.
If Taoist Xuanying could really predict the future, perhaps he could solve the mystery in his heart and find the hidden crisis.
"Okay! Without further ado, I will set off for the border of the fairyland now!" A long-lost smile finally appeared on Xiao Bei's face, his eyes were firm and full of hope.
Seeing Xiao Bei so excited, Fairy Xinglan also felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.
For her, being able to help Immortal Master Xiao Bei is the greatest honor.
"Where is the Immortal Lord going?" Bei Li couldn't help but ask as he saw Xiao Bei's impatient look.
Xiao Bei turned around, looked at Bei Li tenderly, and said softly, "I'm going to look for Taoist Xuanying. Perhaps he can tell us which way to go in the future..."
Xiao Bei no longer hesitated. He took Bei Li's hand, said goodbye to Elder Lingfeng, and then turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the border of the fairyland pointed by Fairy Xinglan.
The strong wind howled and brushed past my ears, making a series of sharp whistles, as if countless evil spirits were roaring in the low voice.
Xiao Bei looked solemn, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger as the distance got closer.
As they flew through the sea of clouds and over the mountains, the scenery became increasingly desolate, and a faint smell of decay began to permeate the air.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the front, the ground began to shake violently, and countless birds fled in panic.
"Be careful!" Xiao Bei shouted softly, holding Bei Li behind him and stopped.
Dozens of huge fairy beasts rushed out from the dense forest ahead, their eyes were red and their bodies exuded a strong black aura. It was obvious that their minds were eroded by the power of darkness.
These immortal beasts were originally docile and peaceful, but now they became violent and bloodthirsty, like wild beasts that had lost their minds, roaring and pouncing towards Xiao Bei and the others.
The huge claws drew heart-pounding arcs in the air, bringing with them a suffocating feeling of oppression.
"You've come at the right time. I'll use you to try out the magic I just learned!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Bei's eyes. He pulled Bei Li behind him and went up alone.
His body was as fast as lightning, shuttling among the herd of immortal beasts, and every move he made carried the power to split mountains and crack rocks.
Beili stood behind Xiao Bei, watching him fighting bloody battles. She knew that she could not be a burden to Xiao Bei and had to do her best to help him.
She let out a delicate cry and summoned her own magical weapon, the exquisite seven-piece fan. Brilliant rays of light flew out from the fan, transforming into fierce attacks, shooting towards the immortal beasts that were eroded by the power of darkness.
The two stood back to back, like two indestructible fortresses, resisting the crazy attack of the fairy beasts.
The surrounding trees were broken by the huge bodies of the fairy beasts, making a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds, and the ground was trampled into a mess. The originally beautiful scenery now became tragic.
Beili's eyes flashed with determination. She held the exquisite seven-piece fan tightly in her hand, her gaze always fixed on the front.
Xiao Bei's strength made her feel at ease, but she knew even more clearly that she had to give her all to fight alongside him.
She felt the warmth and strength emanating from Xiao Bei, which was her most secure harbor.
Xiao Bei felt the warmth coming from behind, and a powerful force surged in his heart.
He knew that in order to protect the ones he loved, he had to become stronger.
"Li'er, be careful!" He shouted softly. Suddenly, he felt a strange fluctuation in his body, and a new power was awakening.
He closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, golden light flashed in his eyes.
"This, this is..." Bei Li looked at Xiao Bei's changes, his eyes filled with shock. Suddenly, Xiao Bei raised his head and looked into the distance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and whispered: "It seems that we have a new friend coming..."
A golden light suddenly appeared, and an unprecedented powerful immortal power surged around Xiao Bei, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, and an aura of looking down on the world emerged spontaneously.
He raised his hand and clenched it, and a golden lightsaber condensed in his palm. Ancient and mysterious runes flowed on the sword, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
"cut!"
Xiao Bei let out a low shout, and the golden lightsaber instantly flew out of his hand, turning into a dazzling golden rainbow that cut through the sky.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp sonic boom.
Those ferocious immortal beasts didn't even have time to howl before they were instantly swallowed by the golden light, turned into powder, and dissipated between heaven and earth.
The remaining immortal beasts felt this terrifying power, and the fierceness in their eyes disappeared, replaced by endless fear.
They wailed in despair and fled in all directions, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
When the dust settled, only Xiao Bei and Bei Li were left in the devastated forest.
The sunlight shone on Xiao Bei's tall and majestic figure, like a god of war descending to the earth, making people dare not look directly at him.
In the distance, several immortals who had originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers were now stunned, with shock and awe written all over their faces.
They had originally doubted Xiao Bei's strength, but at this moment, they were completely convinced.
"Is this the power of the Eternal Lord? It is truly unfathomable!"
"The Dark Abyss Demon Lord fell, and Immortal Master Xiao Bei saved the day. Now he has comprehended such a powerful immortal technique. Under his leadership, the immortal world will surely regain its glory!"
There was endless sound of praise, and Xiao Bei's prestige once again reached an unprecedented height.
Feeling the awe-inspiring gazes from those around him, Xiao Bei felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Let's go, Li'er." Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand with a gentle smile on his face, "Let's go find Taoist Xuanying."
The two set off again, speeding all the way, and finally found the trace of Taoist Xuanying in a desolate valley.
He was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, sitting cross-legged on a huge rock, like an unchanging statue.
"My Immortal Lord, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Taoist Xuanying slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were deep and empty, as if he could see through everything in the world.
Xiao Bei's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Master, I am Xiao Bei, a junior, and I have come to ask for your advice."
Taoist Xuanying smiled slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. I can only tell you that 'mirrors and water moons are like flowers in the mirror, and it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion'. Remember this, remember this."
Before he finished speaking, the figure of Taoist Xuanying gradually dissipated like an ink painting, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Bei stood there, frowning, repeatedly pondering the obscure words left by Taoist Xuanying.
Mirror flowers and water moons, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion...
What does it mean?
Bei Li looked at Xiao Bei's furrowed brows, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally chose to stay with him silently.
"Let's go and take a look over there," Xiao Bei said softly.
