Chapter 29: The Second Immortal Qi Embryo, Guyuena Appears

What Zhexian did not know was that shortly after he entered the cave, a figure slowly rose from the lake in the center of the forest...

The figure of the Silver Dragon King slowly rose from the lake water, her silver scales gleaming with a cold luster under the moonlight, her eyes as deep as the stars, carrying a hint of complex emotion.

Six years ago, she had watched this human from afar. At that time, he was sitting alone on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, holding a Jade Flute, playing a melodious tune.

That flute sound seemed to contain a certain melody, causing countless Soul Beasts to stop and listen, and some even approached him voluntarily, as if attracted by his flute music.

The Silver Dragon King had never seen such a peculiar human. He did not hunt Soul Beasts or seize Soul Rings like other humans; instead, he lived in harmony with the Soul Beasts, even letting them guard him.

This made her develop a great interest in him.

Now, this human had appeared again and had broken directly into the core area of Life Lake.

In the Silver Dragon King's heart, there was both anger and curiosity.

She wanted to know who this human was and why he could make the Soul Beasts obey him.

"Where exactly does he come from..." The Silver Dragon King's voice was cold and distant, as if it had traveled from ancient times. Her gaze locked onto the direction of the cave where Zhexian was in seclusion, a flash of complex light crossing her eyes.

She did not rush to attack, but instead submerged back into Life Lake, waiting for Zhexian to appear.

Time passed second by second, and the forest was silent, with only the rustling sound of the breeze brushing through the leaves. The Silver Dragon King had excellent patience, and she was not in a hurry. She knew that this human would walk out of the cave sooner or later.

Six years later.

The water of Life Lake was still as clear as a mirror, reflecting the clouds drifting in the sky. The forest was as quiet as before, as if the passage of time had left no trace here.

However, on this very day, the barrier outside the cave fluctuated slightly, then slowly dissipated.

Zhexian's figure walked slowly out of the cave, his body enveloped in a layer of translucent white Immortal Qi, which was thicker and deeper than it had been six years ago.

His gaze was calm and distant, as if he could see through all things in the world. Within his body, the Second Immortal Qi Embryo had already condensed; although it was not yet fully formed, it was already faintly emitting a heart-palpitating power.

"Still a little short of completing the Second Immortal Qi." Zhexian whispered to himself, and with a wave of his hand, a wisp of Immortal Qi flowed between his fingertips, as if containing endless mysteries.

Then, he looked toward Life Lake.

"Kept you waiting."

As soon as the words fell.

The water of Life Lake suddenly rippled, and a silver figure slowly rose from the lake.

The Silver Dragon King's gaze was still cold, but it now held a hint of complex emotion.

"You finally came out." The Silver Dragon King's voice was calm and distant, as if it had traveled from ancient times.

Zhexian looked up at the Silver Dragon King, smiled slightly, and said, "Long time no see."

"You have seen me before?" There was a hint of surprise in the Silver Dragon King's voice.

"Twelve years ago, you watched me from afar." Zhexian smiled slightly, a deep light flashing in his eyes, "I have long been familiar with your aura."

The Silver Dragon King's heart jolted; she had not expected that this human had already sensed her existence.

Thus, under Zhexian's gaze.

A seven-colored light lit up around the Silver Dragon King, and immediately after, a beautiful silver-haired girl slowly walked out.

The silver-haired girl had a slender figure, skin like snow, and eyes as deep as the stars, carrying a hint of coldness and mystery. Her long silver hair danced lightly in the wind, as if merging with the moonlight. Her aura was noble and majestic, yet carried an indescribable gentleness.

Zhexian's gaze froze slightly, then returned to calm. He smiled faintly and said, "The human form looks better."

The Silver Dragon King—or rather, the silver-haired girl at this moment—nodded slightly, her voice cold and distant: "You are very different."

Zhexian did not say much, just lifted his hand slightly, a wisp of Immortal Qi flowing between his fingertips as if responding to her presence. His gaze was calm and deep, as if he could see through everything.

The Silver Dragon King's gaze fell on his fingertips, a flash of curiosity and shock in her eyes. She could feel the mystery of that Immortal Qi; it was a power she had never encountered, as if it transcended the rules of this world.

"Where exactly do you come from?" The Silver Dragon King's voice carried a hint of inquiry, "Why is your power so special?"

Zhexian did not respond to her words, but slowly walked to a giant rock, gently stroking the Jade Flute in his hand, his fingertips sliding lightly over the flute body as if feeling every inch of its texture.

His gaze was distant and deep, as if he were looking through this forest to a more remote place.

"This piece is called 'Jiutian Shidi'." Zhexian said in a low voice, then raised the Jade Flute and began to play softly.

The melodious flute sound echoed in the forest, as if crossing the boundaries of time and space, carrying an ancient and mysterious power.

The flute music was lingering, carrying a melody of the primordial era and hot-bloodedness.

Every melody seemed to be telling a distant story, carrying endless vicissitudes and mysteries.

The Silver Dragon King stood quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on Zhexian's back. Ripples rose in her heart, as if she were being led by this flute sound into a world she had never seen before.

Just at this moment, a rush of air-piercing sounds came from the distant forest. Ditian, Biji, Wanyaowang, and other powerhouses of the Soul Beast clan arrived one after another, their faces filled with shock and vigilance.

However, the moment they heard the flute sound, all their emotions were replaced by an inexplicable memory.

"This... what is this piece?" There was a hint of trembling in Ditian's voice. He had never heard such a mysterious flute sound, which carried a very ancient charm.

Biji's gaze fell on Zhexian, a flash of complex emotion in her eyes. She whispered, "This human... who exactly is he?"

Wanyaowang remained silent, but his eyes were also filled with shock and awe.

The flute sound gradually became low, as if telling of the cycle of life and the eternity of heaven and earth. Zhexian's figure appeared exceptionally lonely under the moonlight, yet carried an indescribable majesty.

Finally, the flute sound slowly dissipated, and the forest was silent, as if even the wind had stopped blowing. All the fierce beasts were immersed in the lingering charm of the flute sound, unable to recover for a long time.

Zhexian put away the Jade Flute, looked at Guyuena with a calm gaze, and smiled faintly: "How was it?"

Guyuena's gaze flickered slightly, and she whispered: "Your flute sound... is beautiful, and also... very miserable."

Zhexian was slightly stunned, then chuckled, a hint of faint loneliness flashing in his eyes: "Miserable? Perhaps. Some regrets can only be carried by him alone."
