"Is it ever going to end?" Red Ghost expressed her desire to quickly get into the main plot instead of strolling leisurely here. Saying this, she immediately stepped forward, raising her hand to snatch away the cards Xiu Yi had just washed.
The poker cards had been snatched away, leaving no room to play anymore. Seeing this, Xiu Yi finally gave up, downcast, and gulped down a cup of tea before standing up to continue climbing with the others.
Half an hour later, looking down, it was no longer possible to see the people on the ground. The misty mountainside, even for someone as strong as Red Ghost, seemed a bit unsettling to behold.
This so-called Immortal Mountain was frighteningly tall, and even for her, jumping off would likely be quite unpleasant, if not deadly. It's noteworthy that Red Ghost already possessed First-Order power. The tourists who came here to travel were truly daring, especially when some of them actually stood at the edge of the railing to take photos. These people were being reckless, even though they wore parachute equipment, such devices weren't foolproof and absolutely safe. If they were to snag on a tree branch or encounter some unexpected situation, it would still be very dangerous.
However, despite the danger, the ability to take in such breathtaking scenery was indeed worth it. So, Xiu Yi, despite his gambling loss, quickly forgot the displeasure in his heart, wholly enchanted by the journey's scenic beauty along the way.
Another half hour passed, and everyone finally arrived at the Jade Clear Sect tavern, but they didn't stop. One reason was that no one was hungry, as they had just eaten a meal at the foot of Immortal Mountain. In a crowded place like this, it's more elegant to have a drink halfway up the mountain, so they merely passed by, continuing to climb upward. Finally, after two hours, they reached the mountain peak.
During this period, Sara walked alone. Although very tired, she was evidently much stronger than she appeared and needed no one's help.
The mountain top was dreamlike and surreal, seemingly connected to the sky, with celestial cranes soaring with outstretched wings on the horizon and purple moonlight cascading through the void. The mesmerizing beauty indeed induced an illusionary trance of being in a transformed realm.
The group stayed at Immortal Mountain for quite a while, with many tourists coming and going around them... Yet, this place still belonged to the outer perimeter of Immortal Mountain, an edge peak. Even with many visitors, the disciples engaged in cultivation could never be seen, which was a pity.
"The air is really good," Blade Warrior commented from the heart...
"Haha, who could deny it? If, decades later, when we're old, we spend our twilight years in such a paradise, it would be a fine choice."
No one expected Kevin to have such life insights, and everyone began to tease him.
We must admit, at least at this moment, everyone thought similarly. Conquering Immortal Mountain was when they genuinely realized the novel world seen from across high mountains, an inner journey indeed.
Yes, each of them was a protagonist of their era, a point of light in their own world. Although this world is vast and fascinating, it doesn't specifically revolve for them, but you can live your life joyfully and carefree, just like now.
Perhaps in this world, they'd never catch up to those once legendary, like Kexiao or Revenge Shadow Rider, after all, they had experiences traveling across the universe with Feng Yi. Compared to this little Immortal Mountain, it might seem insignificant.
But what lay before their eyes, to some extent, bore no essential difference, as life too involves capturing the appropriate moments. One should not be burdened by worries, even if arriving at Jade Clear Sect, there's no need to be troubled over preparing gifts.
Possibly due to the abundant spiritual energy of Immortal Mountain, at this moment, everyone seemed to realize that each person was the same, whatever they did, as long as they poured their heart into it, without deliberately pursuing some seemingly illusive surface. Like Sara, the gift she prepared, frankly, wasn't very expensive, but it was the most heartwarming. Perhaps it was precisely because she had experienced that era, lived a different life in another dimension, that she had more insights into life.
"In my opinion, why don't we all take a picture here?" At Sara's suggestion, everyone took a few group selfies for the memories.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaobo shouted towards the vast peak of Immortal Mountain, "Ah!" He seemed to want to vent something... quietly gazing into the distant space...
Indeed, when you are physically present and your mind truly calms down, you tend to think more. Standing atop the mountain peak, he suddenly recalled the scene from half a year ago when Feng Yi led them across the universe.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaobo seemed to understand something, at least he recalled one thing, the final meeting with Feng Yi, where the elder brother simply patted him with a profound stare as if it contained something, yet nothing was said. Then, Feng Yi left for six months without any message, and no one mentioned him again.
Nevertheless, at this moment, Zhang Xiaobo smiled. Perhaps in the next cycle of reunion, or maybe in this world there's no cycle at all, at least he was still alive, living in the heart, living in each person's memory.
"Hey, why don't we take the cable car down?"
After a while, seeing the sky gradually darken, Blade Warrior suggested taking a cable car, indicating it wasn't a bad idea. Sitting on it, everyone would have a broader view, without the interference of other tourists.
Zhang Xiaobo clapped his hands and said, "Alright, let's settle it then."
"Speaking of which, fatty, what are your plans after going back this time?"
