A journey without a destination is true freedom.
To the east, to the west, to the south, to the north.
Do whatever you want.
This is a feeling that Li Tianlan has never experienced before.
There is no care, no fetters, he does not need to look back because he has come a long way, and he does not need to be persistent because the purpose is unknown.
Life is a journey.
Li Tianlan is already on the road, heading towards a future that he doesn't know and has never thought about.
Mountains and rivers pass by all the way.
We passed by the busy city all the way.
Li Tianlan became more and more relaxed.
Whether it's the body or the mind.
It is a kind of freedom and leisure after truly letting go, it is forgetting, it is ignoring, and then it truly becomes pure.
There are no feelings, no thoughts, no emotions, and the whole person becomes more and more focused and illusory.
Among mountains and rivers, he is the mountains and rivers.
In the busy city, he is the busy city.
Walking on the road of the world, he is the world.
Only when you are truly immersed in it will you find that both the landscape and the busy city have their own charm.
The autumn rain after the Mid-Autumn Festival in Huating gradually faded away.
He saw Wu Yue's fallen leaves flying in the air.
I saw the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.
I saw the cold dew and white frost after a night on Dongshan.
In Beifang City, he looked at Youzhou from a distance and heard the winter thunder.
After passing by Youzhou, in Liaodong, he saw the first snow in Central Continent this year.
The journey is still moving forward.
What's in front of you, what's behind you.
Everything is so beautiful and magnificent.
Li Tianlan was deeply immersed in it. There was no majestic trend or turbulent deceit on his road, only nature remained.
Natural is the most beautiful.
He began to become silent and quiet, and too many scenery along the way were left behind him, no matter whether he was willing to let it go or not.
He didn't walk fast, but he never stopped walking.
From mid-autumn to late winter.
Thousands of kilometers of walking.
Dressed in white, with a red sword and a yellow dog.
A silent and focused road, a pure and colorful life.
I don’t know what year it is today.
He also seems to have forgotten martial arts.
The Lin clan's legendary sword, Heaven's Punishment, was always on his back, stained by wind, frost, rain and snow. The scarlet long sword was stained with the color of soil, and was mottled without any edge.
Light snow begins to clear in Liaodong.
It’s already snowing heavily in Kanto.
Li Tianlan finally realized that he was heading north.
All the way north.
Heavy snowflakes covered every corner, pure and white.
Li Tianlan continued to move forward.
Taibai Mountain is in Guandong.
There will be the way for him to become who he is, but it is not the destination.
He had no destination, but now that he was here, Li Tianlan suddenly wanted to go to the Snow Country, and even continued heading north.
He likes snow.
I like the beauty and holiness in the world of ice and snow.
Even if it is illusion, it still has a heart-wrenching charm.
Taibai Mountain under the heavy snow becomes more and more misty.
No one can see the city on the hill.
But amid the heavy snow, the entire Taibai Mountain seemed to be sighing silently.
Li Tianlan took out the badge that Jie had given him when he was on Changdao and carried it on his chest.
The badge is a piece of fine black jade, completely black, with only a thin white line running through the entire black jade, like a ray of light in the darkness.
There is a tall stone monument standing at the foot of the mountain.
The stone tablet is engraved with several bright red characters "military restricted area".
Li Tianlan took a look and stepped up the mountain.
The golden retriever followed behind Li Tianlan, wagging its tail and running extremely happily.
The hiking trail is quiet and cold.
City of Sighs must have posted guards here, but perhaps because of the badge, no one came out to stop him.
From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside and then to the top of the mountain.
The wind and snow are dancing wildly.
On the pale Taibai Mountain, even the snowflakes seemed to have become cold and flamboyant.
A figure finally appeared in Li Tianlan's sight.
A man and a woman were walking in the wind and snow. Li Tianlan only took a few steps, and the two of them appeared in front of Li Tianlan from a distance.
Li Tianlan's face, which had always been quiet and peaceful, finally showed a smile.
He looked at the man in front of him.
The other party's face is still pale, but compared to a few months ago, his energy and energy have begun to undergo some subtle changes.
He was standing on the snow in black clothes, but his whole person was as vague as a snowflake, small, but with endless sharp edge.
"Uncle Master."
Li Tianlan bowed to Jie and said softly: "Long time no see."
"I heard from some hidden posts at the bottom of the mountain that there was a young man leading a dog up the mountain. I knew it was you, but I didn't expect you to come so late."
Zed, who had returned from Sky Academy, said calmly: "Welcome home."
"I was just passing by, so I came up to take a look."
Li Tianlan's voice was soft and concentrated in the wind and snow.
He has reached the top of the mountain.
But you can’t see the City of Sighs here yet.
I heard that the city was beautiful, but for him, after all, he was not a returnee in that city, but a passerby.
Li Tianlan's eyes turned and fell on the woman beside Jie.
This is a beautiful woman whose age cannot be discerned.
She couldn't tell her age or appearance. She was wearing a white robe. The loose robe covered her plump and soft figure. Her long black hair was tied up casually behind her head, and she was covered by a golden mask.
From most of her face, all Li Tianlan could see was her eyes with complex expressions and her beautiful lips.
The woman stood in front of Li Tianlan, but she felt like she was standing on the horizon.
This is not a deliberate alienation from the other party.
It was Li Tianlan's almost uncontrollable keen perception that kept reminding him of the huge gap in strength between him and his opponent.
The first impression she gave Li Tianlan was that of softness and mystery, but the most straightforward feeling was that she was still powerful.
It's not just sharpness.
But it is powerful in all aspects.
The Hidden God of Zhongzhou, Situ Cangyue, the Lord of Sighing City!
Li Tianlan bent deeply towards this woman who he had just met for the first time today but had helped him a lot, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Calling him City Lord? It seems too abrupt.
But if you don’t call him City Lord, what else can he call him?
"Call Auntie."
Situ Cangyue took the initiative to speak, her voice was ethereal and beautiful, as soft as the white snow on the mountain.
"Aunt."
Li Tianlan yelled a little strangely.
Situ Cangyue nodded nonchalantly and said, "Let's go in and talk."
"No."
Li Tianlan smiled and shook his head. His eyes were sincere: "I came here just to see... uh... I wanted to see you and my uncle. Now that I have seen it, that's enough."
He did not ask how Zed was injured.
This is something that can be seen.
The opponent's injury is improving, but he has not really returned to his prime.
"You won't come back?"
Situ Cangyue asked softly.
Not going in and not coming back are completely different things.
Li Tianlan was suddenly moved, but he still insisted on shaking his head. He pointed ahead, which was the direction of Sigh City: "There is no freedom there."
The City of Sighs is beautiful.
But there is momentum there.
It's not the trend he wants, so he won't be free.
Situ Cangyue fell silent.
She looked at Li Tianlan seriously.
This was a meeting she had been looking forward to for a long time, but she never thought it would be so hasty.
Before she had seen enough, the other party actually wanted to leave.
"That's fine."
Situ Cangyue nodded: "Whatever you need, I'll ask someone to prepare it."
"Need not."
Li Tianlan smiled. Over the past few months, he had become thinner and taller. Now when he smiles, he has a natural and dazzling charm: "I'm good like this."
"Tianlan..."
Jie paused and said calmly: "How is your recovery now?"
This is probably a problem that everyone in the Central Continent Special Warfare System is aware of today.
Even Li Tianlan himself wanted to know.
So he shook his head and said softly: "I don't know either."
The astonishment in Jie's eyes flashed away.
A smile flashed across Situ Cangyue's eyes. She looked at Li Tianlan and the mottled Heaven's Punishment behind him.
Finally, her eyes fell on the cheerful golden retriever at Li Tianlan's feet.
Situ Cangyue was thoughtful, then whispered: "If you don't want to come back, then where do you want to go?"
"North."
Li Tianlan said.
"Snow Country?"
Situ Cangyue raised her eyebrows slightly. She seemed to realize something, and her tone suddenly became solemn: "Or do you want to go to the Pole?!"
"Not ready yet."
Li Tianlan said softly: "The scenery in the north is very beautiful, I want to see it."
He faces north.
His way is in the north.
Situ Cangyue nodded.
Li Tianlan moved his steps, and suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and hesitated.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it. As long as the City of Sighs can do it."
Situ Cangyue looked at Li Tianlan. Her eyes were beautiful and complex.
"Aunt..."
Li Tianlan called out and said slowly: "If possible... I would like to take a look at your martial arts."
He has seen Jie's nine-character mantra.
But he had never seen Situ Cangyue take action.
But this is very important to him.
Situ Cangyue glanced at Li Tianlan in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Tianlan didn't say thank you.
These two words seem very pale too often.
Situ Cangyue thought for a while.
She stretched out her hand and stepped forward.
In an instant, the biting cold wind on the top of Taibai Mountain suddenly disappeared.
Only the flying snowflakes still floated in the sky.
Situ Cangyue moved forward again.
Her body rose into the air.
Silently, countless snowflakes followed her figure directly upstream against the trend.
Countless snow dragons seemed to appear on the top of Taibai Mountain.
Situ Cangyue was spinning in the sky in the heavy snow.
Snowflakes danced around him.
But her side had already turned into pure void.
That was Situ Cangyue's domain.
Not darkness, but light.
The vast snow seemed to turn into light, covering everything, and Situ Cangyue's figure also disappeared in the vastness.
Whether it is extreme darkness or extreme light, once it reaches the extreme, there is essentially no difference.
Situ Cangyue's figure slowly fell.
The light in the void converged, and large snowflakes spread to the surrounding areas in an instant.
The wind howled.
Snowflakes swept across the mountains, and endless waves of snow rushed into the sky, messy and broken.
Li Tianlan looked silent.
"When I fight, my world is all around me, and it moves with me."
Situ Cangyue said calmly.
It is Situ Cangyue's world, so it is naturally useless to opponents.
Heaven and earth are useless!
Li Tianlan nodded: "There should be another move ahead."
In this state of futility, he saw too many familiar things.
"It's Wanxiang Senluo."
Situ Cangyue nodded: "There is also a half-style at the back, which is called Immortality."
Everything is rosy.
Wan Dosun Luo.
Li Tianlan smiled and said softly: "It changes over and over again, but it's still Sword Twenty-Four."
Situ Cangyue said nothing.
Li Tianlan waved his hand and went straight down the mountain.
The golden retriever was still following him, wagging its head and tail.
Jie looked at Li Tianlan's back, frowned slightly and said, "Is he really going to the Pole?"
"Only in the most extreme environment can the most perfect breakthrough be made."
Situ Cangyue looked at Li Tianlan's back and said softly: "As far as I know, many years ago, someone once successfully broke through in the polar regions. Instead of starting over, he broke through directly and entered the invincible realm."
"who?"
Jie raised his eyebrows. He had been pursuing his own martial arts before and didn't know much about this at all.
Situ Cangyue turned around and walked towards the City of Sighs, saying calmly: "Wang Tianzong."
