Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

My name is Hongfeng, which is the name I gave myself.

It doesn't have any special meaning...

The moment I first saw a red maple tree, my heart stirred, and I decided to call myself that.

Everyone in this world...

They had all forgotten their own names, forgotten any information about their identities! Only some common sense and some cultivation experience remained;

But......

that's not important.

Although from a rational perspective, it is still a rather serious matter;

But everyone tacitly agreed that it didn't matter.

The important thing is how to fill your stomach and maintain your survival...

I like to lie on the grass and bask in the sun; it's warm and cozy... but I always feel like something's missing from this sunshine.

"Red Maple, the mist over Lightstone Abyss has cleared up. Do you want to go?"

Someone called to me from afar;

Without turning my head, I waved my hand and said lazily, "I'm not going."

"Okay... I'll go then."

The person I was talking to was someone I get along with quite well... a friend?

Her name is Waterweed, and she is going to Lightstone Pit to find the Lightstone.

Lightstones can fill our stomachs and sustain our survival... but they're not worth much.

Within the Stonestone Abyss, stonestones are everywhere—on the ground, on the rock walls...

You can kick several pieces just by taking a couple of steps.

I collected quite a lot last time, enough to last me until the next opening of the Lightstone Abyss, so I'm too lazy to go...

Guangshiyuan is not a good place; it is shrouded in mist for ten out of the twelve months of the year.

Those who get lost in the fog never come out again;

Even when the fog clears, their traces cannot be found within it.

Everyone is saying that they've been absorbed into the mist, become a part of it...

However, it's nothing;

As long as you enter when the fog clears, you will not encounter any danger.

Even before the fog clears, those who have run out of light stones can temporarily borrow some from others... these things are really worthless.

One could even wait patiently until the fog clears;

They won't die, but they'll be very weak...

I've calculated that only those who haven't absorbed any light stones for three consecutive years will truly die;

But for now... I haven't seen it in person yet.

Thinking of this, I took out a light stone and placed it between my eyebrows;

One of the faintest rays of light flowed into the body;

I feel even sleepier now...

But is my existence only about absorbing light stones and sleeping?

I am bored.......

When I woke up, the sun had already set and the moon had risen;

The algae haven't returned yet, which is normal. The area we usually stay in is neither too close nor too far from Lightstone Abyss, but it still takes several days to fly there.

Normally... she won't be able to return for at least seven more days?

That's why I didn't want to go; a seven-day flight is too tiring...

As for why they didn't stay near the Lightstone Abyss...

It's too noisy and there are too many people.

It greatly affects sleep quality...

I am bored......

After the algae left, there was no one left to talk to;

Cultivate...

Seven days later, I finished my cultivation and looked at a thatched hut by the river.

It was built of algae;

She cannot enjoy the pleasure of having the sky as her blanket and the earth as her mat.

The thatched hut was silent; she hadn't returned yet...

Could it be that there are too many light stones collected this time, making it too heavy to fly, so it has to rest after flying for a while?

Thinking this to myself, I felt a little irritated...

On the fourteenth day, the algae still hadn't returned;

I decided to go find her.

However, it's not guaranteed that you'll find it; the Light Stone Abyss is very large...

You might miss it on the way.

but.......

We're just idling around anyway, aren't we?

I flew for two days, gradually approaching the Lightstone Abyss;

Suddenly, they discovered a figure lying on the top of a small hill below.

His wings were gray and dull;

There was a crack between his brows, from which a faint light shone.

My heart sank as I landed in front of him. Thankfully, he wasn't dead yet...

"What's wrong with you?"

"Can't you see? I'm going to die!" He was agitated, his eyes filled with fear and hatred, and he was cursing wildly.

They're cursing... the Winged Rogue?

What is the Wings of the Raging Storm?

"...It's a group of people who have banded together!" he said. "They've taken over Lightstone Abyss! They won't allow any outsiders to enter!"

"I tried to go in and collect the light stones, and they attacked me!"

I exclaimed in surprise, "What?! What right do they have?!"

"Yeah! What gives them the right?!" He didn't understand either;

Lightstones are only used for eating, not for cultivation. What is the point of sealing the Lightstone Abyss?

Is it just to cause trouble for others?

My heart felt heavy;

Algae...

"Have you ever seen someone like this?" I channeled my inner energy and etched the shape of seaweed under my feet;

The man glanced at it and laughed mockingly, "I've seen it before! I've seen it before!"

She was also stopped when she entered the Lightstone Abyss and argued with the people of the Winged Ravagers... until someone pointed out her core weakness!

Dead beyond dead!

"What, is she your friend?"

I didn't say anything, because I could tell he was lying to me...

I ignored him, got up, and flew back towards the Lightstone Abyss, increasing my speed...

The interior of the Lightstone Abyss is very large, but the entrance is very small.

It is within the area of ​​only one mountain range.

I saw many people floating in the sky, emanating a powerful aura!

Meanwhile, many more people remained stuck on the perimeter, afraid to take a single step forward;

"Submit to the Wings of Madness! Submit to me!"

"I will then allow you to go to the Lightstone Abyss to collect the Lightstones!" a tall man said proudly.

"Why should I?!"

"Why should I submit to you!"

"By what right do you occupy Lightstone Abyss?!"

The man scoffed, "Because I'm stronger than you all!"

Either submit...

"Either you obediently wait to die!"

"But... what's the point of you doing this?"

"With your strength, even if we submit to you, it won't be of any help to you..." someone asked;

I listened carefully because I had the same question.

"significance?

Why does it have to be meaningful?

"I love controlling you all, I love to torment you weaklings!" He reached down and grabbed, and a figure was swept up by the energy;

"Making me feel a little better is the only reason you pathetic creatures exist!"

My eyes widened as I looked at the figure whose neck he was gripping;

It's algae!

"don't want!"

I shouted, but the energy he spewed from his palm had already destroyed the core of the algae...

She seemed to hear my voice and tried to turn around to look at me;

He seemed to want to say something, but his lips moved and he ultimately couldn't utter a sound;

The luster had faded from her lake-blue eyes...

There seems to be something in my heart;

It shattered along with the life of the algae...
