The scenery in the mountains was very beautiful. Luo Kai felt like having fun, so he took a stroll in the forest. It was already late autumn, and the dense vegetation in the mountains was like a yellow ocean. When the mountain breeze blew, the waves would roll, and when the wind passed, it would return to silence.
Mountains and nature always evoked people's thoughts. A yellowed leaf fell in front of Luo Kai's eyes. He suddenly stopped and gently picked it up. The veins of the leaf were reflected in his mind. The interlocking veins were like the mathematics of heaven and earth. It was so beautiful, and at the same time, it fit the Dao of all things. Luo Kai's heart was stirred.
Plants were completely different from other elemental energies. They belonged to the category of life, and naturally had consciousness. Similarly, they would also experience birth, aging, illness, and death. It was just that their attitude towards death was completely different from other life forms. When they were alive, they were high-spirited, but when they died, they were like this leaf. They were quiet and gentle, quiet and graceful, without the slightest bit of complaint or attachment. They peacefully accepted everything. Life was like summer flowers, death was like autumn leaves!
To them, death and the end were equally beautiful. Death was not the opposite of life, but as a part of the "Dao" that existed forever.
The trees around him swayed without any wind. Large amounts of leaves swirled and danced around him, competing with each other to emit an intimate frequency. At this moment, his body and mind were integrated into one with nature.
That pair of starry eyes slightly closed. The feeling that nature gave him was once again different. The graceful water, the high-spirited wood, the vigorous earth, the sharp metal, the brilliant fire. Everything in the world seemed to be able to move according to his thoughts. The earth under his feet pulsated like a heartbeat. It seemed that as long as he could capture this pulsation, he would be able to use the vigorous and mighty power of the earth …
After a long time, Luo Kai withdrew from that mysterious feeling. Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark, and the stars shrouded the sky. He raised his head and looked at the sky. His eyes, which were like a galaxy, reflected the light of the stars. His long hair fluttered in the wind. The memories of the past faded away like smoke in his heart. Instead, he had an impulse to rush into the sky and embrace the millions of stars.
Time seemed to have only passed for an instant. When he regained consciousness, a red sun had risen. It was already the second day. When he was immersed in an inexplicable state, time seemed to have become a concept. It seemed that as his cultivation level increased, both time and space were different from the outside world. The dream of a hundred years was not a myth.
…
Su Chengbo stood on the deck of the airship and looked down at the city that was getting farther and farther away. He was lost in thought.
Bai Yongzhang, who was wearing a white coat and thick-rimmed glasses, could not help but ask, "Sir, I don't understand. Why did we reveal the news of the Soliciting Moon Willow to the royal family?"
"They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Su Chengbo turned his head.
"No, the royal family spies used some hypnotic methods, but I told them the truth."
"Mm, that's good. We can't be enemies with the royal family right now. Instead, we have to deliberately curry favor with them."
Su Chengbo's expression was solemn. He continued, "In these past years, the rift between the royal family and the four great families has deepened. This matter will definitely put a thorn in the hearts of the Tuoba family and the Xi family. What we need to do now is to form an alliance."
"Sir, isn't the price a bit too high? The materials are fine, but there's no need to give up a bottle of high-grade gene medicine. The current peace is far too long, and high-grade gene medicine is too precious."
Su Chengbo shook his head. "Actually, my original intention was to give up a bottle of high-grade gene medicine to Luo Kai to form a good relationship. Unfortunately, I still underestimated him. This young man's temperament is incomparable. Even a high-grade gene medicine could not move him at all. Perhaps in his heart, it's just a common thing."
Bai Yongzhang was shocked. "It's that long-haired young man!"
Su Chengbo once again looked at the earth and sighed. "Yes, the more I come into contact with this young man, the more surprises he gives me. If it was only his innate talent and intelligence, then it would be fine, but his knowledge is extremely profound. At such a young age, he created a heaven-class body technique that can stir up the frequency of heaven and earth. His understanding of the way of heaven and earth is also unique. I estimate that he will become a 'saint' sooner or later!
… …
Luo Kai walked aimlessly in the forest. He discovered that the plants in the wilderness were clearly much shorter, but at the same time, they were much more durable. With his arrival, all the plants affectionately swayed their branches and leaves. Now, he had finally achieved resonance with the wood element. Moreover, he also had some understanding of the other five elements. The five elements originally promoted and restrained each other. Water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to metal. As long as you understood one of them, it was possible to trigger a chain reaction. The key was whether you could understand the 'thoughts' of the other energies.
This was the first time he had merged with the wood element's frequency. That kind of high-spirited frequency made him cheerful. He cheerfully strolled in the forest, occasionally bending down to smell the fragrance of the wildflowers. The wildflowers that he smelled were like shy little girls that shrunk their branches and leaves slightly trembled.
As he walked, Luo Kai discovered that he was lost. Moreover, the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong. This was because he felt that he was becoming heavier and heavier. To be more precise, everything around him was becoming heavier. In other words, the gravity of the earth was increasing.
With doubts in his heart, he stopped and slowly closed his eyes. His consciousness came out of his body. The omnipresent plants in the wilderness became an extension of his consciousness. Soon, he found the trace of a person.
Originally, Mount Qing was actually the gateway to the University of Shang Jing. There was a mountain pass between two peaks, which had been transformed into a pass. A huge stone tablet was engraved with the four big words "Shang Jing University".
Outside the pass was a huge square, densely packed with small tents. There were also many rows of buildings around the square. People were coming and going, and it was very lively. It didn't seem like the entrance of a university, but more like a market.
Luo Kai went to ask around and found out the reason. Shang Jing University, as the birthplace of physical skills, had now become the holy land of physical skills practitioners. Throughout the year, countless people from all over the human race came here to study. However, Shang Jing University only had 500 admission slots each year. These people came from far away and were naturally unwilling to give up. In order to appease them, Shang Jing University had set a rule. Every once in a while, a physical skills grandmaster would come out to teach in the square.
Although they could not enter Shang Jing University, it was still good to be able to listen to the teachings of a physical skills grandmaster. As a result, a large number of people lived in Originally, Mount Qing. The corresponding industries were also born, such as various physical skills dojos, restaurants, and hotels.
Luo Kai walked through the square and came to the pass. Rumbling footsteps sounded, and several four-meter-tall humanoid mechs came out of the pass. A cold voice sounded, "Stop, no one is allowed to come close. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
Luo Kai was stunned at first. These mechs were somewhat similar to the extraterrestrial life forms. The difference was that these mechs were a little ugly. They looked more like stones with hands and feet. Some were holding a huge machete, and some were holding long machine guns. Every time their thick legs moved, there would be a huge vibration on the ground. They were completely incomparable to the agile extraterrestrial life forms. Moreover, these mechs were controlled by people inside.
People in the square noticed the situation here. Many people laughed and said, "Here comes another country bumpkin!"
"I am a student who wants to enter the university. Who should I look for?" Luo Kai took out the document Su Chengbo gave him. There was a gilded invitation letter inside.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him. One of the mechs said, "Admission time has passed. Even if you are a student, you can't enter. Leave quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Luo Kai scratched his head. What Su Chengbo had given him wasn't an ordinary admission letter, but an exchange invitation from the University of Beijing. However, these guards didn't even look at it. It really was the seventh rank in front of the Prime Minister's door. Were they going to force their way through?
