The Days of Being Forced to Become the Savior of a Cultivation Civilization

The rainbow snake's eyelids twitched slightly, and then a small, phantom-like figure, similar to the girl's consciousness, slowly crawled up from the girl's feet to her neck, stretched out its head, and gently touched the little girl's forehead.

The little girl's memories flashed quickly through the snake's mind, one image after another, some clear, some blurry.

The figures that flashed by were all blurry, except for Zhiyue and Yingzi, making them difficult for it to see clearly. It gently closed its eyes, its expression calm, until the little boy with a lotus flower on his forehead flashed by.

It was startled, then its eyes widened, its vertical pupils shrinking to two pinpoints, revealing shock on the face of a snake. It then became restless, landing on its own massive scales, writhing back and forth, finally speaking in a frantic manner:

"Hey sis, wait for me for a couple of days. Get ready before you set off. I have some urgent business to attend to when I get back to the boss. Maybe I can give you back some cultivation points, haha. I'm off!"

The illusory image of the small snake vanished from its spot in a flash. The girl was stunned and didn't recover for a moment. Then, her body awoke with a start and she sat up. Her consciousness then returned to her sea of ​​consciousness, and she awoke from the hazy dream, returning to the giant snake's side once more.

"That thing just now... spoke human language? I thought it was just a summoning artifact or something, but it turns out it's actually a living thing."

Qian Xintong pondered. No matter how she called out to the giant snake, it remained unmoved, as if its soul had left its body. In fact, she hadn't seen the fleeting light that flashed across the sky above Rainbow Village and headed northwest.

"Those who defy the heavens do so—"

"The Reverse Yuan Realm is the cornerstone of cultivation for those who defy the natural order. You must lay a solid foundation. The Forging Yuan Realm is like forging a sword, etching your own mark. The Refining Yuan Realm is like quenching and polishing a sharp blade, refining the reverse yuan, and transforming the formless qi into a tangible flow, which is called sinking yuan."

An old man was speaking, and a child was interrupting.

"Master, I've read this rhetoric countless times in books, and you've recited it countless times. I've memorized it long ago."

The old man snorted coldly, a smile on his face:

"Hmph, simply memorizing it won't work. Only by fully understanding the principles can you break through the lower three realms and enter the Deep Origin Realm as soon as possible. You are young, and the longer you stay in the Deep Origin Realm, the more solid your foundation will be, and the better your chances of breaking through to the upper three realms will be."

The child's eyes were innocent yet full of longing:

"What 'middle three realms' and 'lower three realms'? You've only ever heard of them. Why aren't they written in the books?"

The old man shook his head:

"Of course. How could these things be stored in physical books?"

He pointed to his temple:

"Once you break through to the middle three realms, I will naturally teach you."

-

Zhiyue slowly opened his eyes. He did not fall asleep; in his hazy consciousness, he recalled that this was a method he usually used to consolidate his cultivation results.

The sky was still dark, and the moon was slowly setting. The two were still fast asleep, their breathing even. He sat up, gazing at the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window, his eyes filled with melancholy, and murmured:

"But Master, I have been pondering for eight years, and you still haven't been able to tell me how to enter this fifth realm."

"Experience and memory are important components of the cultivation of those who defy convention."

The village chief's voice echoed in his mind.

He turned and looked at the two people sleeping soundly on the bed, and sighed.

-

Qian Xintong tossed and turned in bed with her eyes closed, her mind hazy, countless thoughts racing through her head, unsure whether she was asleep or not. The next morning, she suddenly opened her eyes to find that it was already dawn.

Yingzi was still fast asleep. He was still a child and had just broken through to the next level, so he needed more sleep and rest to digest the results. Zhiyue, on the other hand, had already woken up and was sitting quietly cross-legged on the ground, sensing the reverse energy that had been transformed the night before.

Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes. The two exchanged a glance, then got up and quietly walked out of the house.

"How did you sleep last night?"

Qian Xintong shook her head, her heavy thoughts written all over her face:

"I didn't sleep well, my body hasn't adjusted to absorbing the reverse energy yet, I've forgotten everything, and I feel a bit restless. By the way, when do we set off?"

"Don't rush. Although you were very strong before, you're currently under lockdown. Don't underestimate the Lonely Desert. It's a remote and dangerous place to cross. You must be fully prepared. Are you feeling unwell? Let's get everything ready as soon as possible."

Qian Xintong shook his head:

"I feel fine physically, no need to worry, I'm just asking."

There was no wind at night, and the air was relatively dry in the morning, with little dust, making for a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere.

As the sun rises in the east, it still rises from the desolate desert as usual, and no one is surprised by it.

……

"How peaceful. If life could stay this peaceful forever, that would be wonderful."

Qian Xintong sighed. Zhi Yue, however, ruthlessly exposed the truth:

"It's peaceful now, my head isn't dizzy anymore, my eyes aren't blurry, and I feel like I can do it again."

Enraged, Qian Xintong pinched Zhi Yue's arm hard.

"Shut up, I'm finally being quiet for once."

-

Several days passed quickly. A young woman sat under the giant tree in the center of the village, chatting happily with a group of old women. A man and a child stood side by side outside the shade of the tree, staring blankly at the crowd.

"Tongtong, how old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend? If you have your eye on someone, just tell your grandma. With our looks and qualities, which young man wouldn't be head over heels for us?"

"Aunt Zhao, I... I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry to think about this."

"Tongtong, your clothes feel really nice. What kind of fabric are they made of? Where did you get them? I'd like an auntie to make you a set."

"Aunt Sun, this dress is something I brought from my hometown. It's not easy to transport it here. I'll send you two bolts of fabric when I have the chance."

"Sister Tongtong, your skin is so fair and smooth! How did you achieve that? What kind of plant essence did you use? Do you have any secret recipes? The environment in this desert is terrible, and my face is always rough and sticky. It's so hard to take care of it."

"Hey, little sister, I actually have a remedy for this. When I get back from treating this illness, I'll gather some medicinal herbs in the city and let you try it out."

……

The villagers, young and old, were all enjoying themselves, surrounding Qian Xintong with all sorts of questions, and she responded to every single one, satisfying everyone's curiosity. This scene left Zhi Yue speechless.

Zhiyue: "Wow... you've really adapted quickly."

The giant tree, Yara, stood tall and straight, its white trunk covered with a layer of loose sand. Its crown rustled with the chirping of crickets as it swayed in the wind. The tree was over a hundred meters tall, making its trunk, which was as thick as ten people could encircle, appear slender. At about waist height, two protruding metal tubes were tightly wrapped at one end by the bark.

Legend has it that a group of exiles once discovered this giant tree that should not have been there. They begged the tree for forgiveness, wanting to cut its bark to get water and gain the tree's understanding and forgiveness.

Unexpectedly, the giant tree seemed to be sentient, and it opened two holes in itself, from which clear water trickled out, like two lines of clear tears of pity from a tree spirit.

Those people stayed here and settled down, forming the initial prototype of Rainbow Village. Later, a rebel from the Golden Path installed two switches on the two tree springs, which is how Rainbow Village got its current two water sources.

The giant tree in Rainbow Village is clearly no ordinary tree. As a Yuan-type tree, its sap is sweet and delicious, and contains Reverse Yuan. The villagers of Rainbow Village benefit from it. Those who are rebellious can absorb Reverse Yuan from it, while ordinary people, although they cannot use it directly, can also greatly benefit from having their bodies cleansed by Reverse Yuan over a long period of time.

In addition, it can produce tree honey, which tastes sweet and is a favorite among children.

It's not hard to see that there are an astonishing number of rebels in Rainbow Village. It would be considered quite a lot if a medium-sized tribe in the wilderness had a handful of rebels, let alone a small village on the edge of the desert. But the actual situation is quite different. In Rainbow Village, a small village with only a few hundred people, there are as many as ten rebels!

"Yara is never stingy with its juices; turn on the switch on the right, and clear water will surely gush out."

The village chief, leaning on his cane, looked up at the towering canopy of the giant tree and sighed.

Although Zhiyue is not a native of Hongcun, he has developed a deep affection for this giant tree over the past eight years.

"Yes, in this desert, life is so strong. I always felt that it had long since developed intelligence, but for the past eight years, it has just stood there, providing for us, without uttering a word."

Zhiyue also sensed something. He fetched a container, preparing to collect water to mark the end of his several-day journey across the desert.
