Chapter 307 Footprints
When the mountain that towered into the clouds like a giant dragon's head appeared in front of Wang Nan, his heart became calmer.
Along the way, he saw a lot, including the place where he obtained his first soul ring and the place where he first saw the Star Dou Great Forest with his own eyes. It was there that his memories began to connect with this world.
Likewise, he also saw some changes that took place in the world, some of which were even brought about by him personally.
And now, seeing this place that made him realize the true meaning of the Panlong Stick, his heart has unknowingly become extremely calm, his mental and soul power are extremely concentrated, and some changes are quietly taking place in his body.
After standing there for a long time, Wang Nan looked up towards the distant southeast. His gaze passed through the vast ocean, through space, and came to another distant continent.
The endless mountains were shrouded in mist, and a stream was gurgling on the mountainside, with several wild animals drinking water by the stream.
The village at the foot of the mountain seemed to be a little bigger than before, with a few more houses.
Wang Nan's figure appeared in the air at some point. At his feet, a sturdy man in his thirties from the village was teaching several children who were sitting cross-legged in front of him.
The child named "Yi", who had been instructed by Wang Nan and Yan Shaozhe, was ultimately unable to make any further progress. His talent was not good to begin with, and his soul power level stopped at level 29 and he was unable to break through.
But this was enough for him. Looking at the children in front of him, they were already meditating in a very professional manner.
Wang Nan did not disturb the tranquility of the village, but flew and landed on a mountain in the distance.
The surroundings were still filled with rich spiritual power. The mirage dragon living on the top of the mountain seemed to be aware of it and gently opened its eyes.
"You should be able to speak, right?"
The mirage dragon's nostrils opened slightly, and two streams of thick white mist spurted out of its nostrils, blowing up the surrounding mist.
"Hmm." An old and dull voice came from its throat.
"Thank you for your hard work guarding the exit of this dragon tomb."
Mirage Dragon shook his head slightly, then spoke slowly, "I can't see your cultivation level, but you probably can't enter Dragon Valley again. Dragon Valley can no longer withstand such a strong force."
"I know."
Wang Nan nodded and just sat cross-legged there, scenes of what happened in Dragon Valley flashing through his mind, his thoughts churning.
The sun sets and rises, and the day passes quickly. Wang Nan stands up, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"I'm leaving."
"Yeah." Mirage Dragon didn't like to talk, so he just responded simply.
It was not until Wang Nan's figure passed over the sea and disappeared into the distant horizon that huge waves began to surge in the nearby sea. A somewhat thin figure poked out of the sea, looking at Wang Nan who had disappeared in the distance, and was slightly stunned.
The fear in her eyes had dissipated a little, and her eyes were full of complex colors. After a long time, a wave hit, and her figure disappeared.
……
Nowadays, more and more people are mentioning Sunset Forest and Star Forest together.
Although the Sunset Forest is still inferior to the Star Dou Great Forest in terms of the number of soul beasts and their cultivation, the soul masters who come here know that in the depths of the Sunset Forest, there are also hundred thousand year old soul beasts.
Although their cultivation level is not very high, they control poison barriers that can threaten the entire forest, and no one will easily provoke them.
However, most soul masters may not know that the 100,000-year-old soul beast living here has never left the central area of the Sunset Forest, and they are even a little naive. When Wang Nan came to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, the extremely terrifying soul beast that controlled the poison barrier was still sleeping.
It was not a deep sleep like cultivation. Living in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Youxiang Qiluo and the others did not need to work too hard to improve their cultivation naturally. In order to have the mentality to resist the heavenly calamity, they even had to suppress their own cultivation to experience more time of tempering.
Wang Nan released a slight fluctuation of soul power, and he felt a spiritual force sweeping across the entire Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
"It's you!"
"Long time no see, Youyou."
"You said you would come visit us more often, but it took you so long to come." Having survived the first calamity, Youxiang Qiluo's figure has become taller, and its petals are shaking gently. Its somewhat excited voice can be heard, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"No, I just came to see here and chat with you guys."
"Okay, okay." Youxiang Qiluo shook her body again. Some other plant-type soul beasts around her had also noticed their conversation. The soul power surging under the ground should be another kind of communication between them.
Wang Nan was not polite either. He sat aside casually and talked about some things that happened after he left here.
At the beginning, his Penglai Realm allowed Xuanzi and others who were affected to regain their original intention of cultivation and thus achieve a breakthrough. Now, stepping on Wang Nan's own path of cultivation again, a different feeling arises spontaneously.
Although Wang Nan did not undergo much change on the surface, he was able to use the various forces in his body more freely, and there was something vaguely growing in his body.
……
It was already night when Wang Nan finished telling the story and arrived at Qiankunwenqing Valley.
The surface of the lake in the valley flickered with gold and silver. Wang Nan did not speak, but just listened quietly to the singing coming from beneath the lake.
It sounded like the whispers of a pair of lovers, or like the sighs of soldiers on the border, or more like the continent telling him stories of the past.
The heaven and earth trembled slightly, and Wang Nan once again saw the changes in the whole world flash before his eyes.
The implementation of new policies in the three empires allowed more soul masters' talents to be discovered, and the demise of the Holy Spirit Church brought a moment of peace to the continent.
Among the soul masters, although he has not taken action for ten years, he has already become the pinnacle that all soul masters aspire to.
Among ordinary people, the things he brought from another world were transformed into soul guides and entered thousands of households, unknowingly changing the way people live.
In the ocean, the sea soul beasts would occasionally think of Wang Nan, who had eliminated the Demon King and kept the sea peaceful...
Even though none of these things have been praised, Wang Nan's name has been mentioned unintentionally by the whole world.
Wang Nan did not release his martial spirit, but the ninth spirit ring had quietly emerged around him. The spirit rings were like a galaxy surrounding him, and there seemed to be dragon roars coming one after another. The twinkling stars echoed with the stars in the sky...
When the night ended and the day dawned, Qiankunwenqing Valley had returned to its former appearance, like an ordinary lake.
Looking at the rising sun in the east, Wang Nan flew towards the direction where the sun was rising.
Just as his figure flashed, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have visited the three treasured places on Douluo Continent, namely Dragon Valley, Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and Qiankun Valley of Love.
