Chapter 18 An unexpected breakthrough

The night sky is full of stars, and the mountain wind blows, giving off a slight coolness.

Bian Yao moaned, slowly opened his eyes, and what entered his eyes was the twinkling stars in the sky. The lightly attacking night wind penetrated into the cracks of his clothes, and Bian Yao felt a hint of comfort. He tried to move his body and wanted to get up, but he felt a numbness all over his body.

"Oh~!?" Suddenly, Bian Yao shouted in surprise.

He finally found something was wrong, and he still identified the blurry black shadows around him, which turned out to be all branches and leaves.

Bian Yao felt glad that he was not dead, but was saved accidentally. He was lying on a big tree at this moment. He climbed up with some difficulty and looked around for a moment.

It turned out that under the broken wall I fell, there was a huge strange tree growing diagonally. The trunk was thick, the branches were numerous, and the leaves were very lush.

Bian Yao lay on the trunk of the tree, trying to open the branches and leaves and look down, but he saw nothing black. Then he looked up again, and after a long time, he could not see anything clearly.

"Oh~" Bian Yao sighed, but he was not dead but was in trouble! Now he can only wait for dawn before talking, and maybe he can have a way to leave.

"I don't know if she's asleep? What if she's stuck here all the time?" At this time, he suddenly thought of He Qingyin. When the girl's anxious and helpless face appeared in his mind, Bian Yao's heart suddenly tightened.

"We must find a way to go back as soon as possible!"

Bian Yao sat on the tree and was thinking randomly, and suddenly reached out and touched his arms.

"That's great! The thing is still there. As the person said, this grass seems to be called "Three Scent Spirit-Augmented Grass". Just by listening to the name, it should be quite valuable. It would be fine if he fell off the cliff. If the spirit grass he was trying hard to protect was lost, wouldn't it be unjust to die!" Bian Yao smiled with satisfaction, lay down on the tree again, waiting for dawn.

The night finally broke out and the sky started to get bright.

When the rising red sun just shone on the big tree on the cliff, Bian Yao opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the red sun, and smiled.

Bian Yao looked upwards and saved his big tree, about ten feet high from the top of the broken wall. There were some rocks that were not protruding, but he could only climb up four or five feet at most, and it was impossible to reach the top.

Bian Yao frowned and moved a few steps on the branch, then looked down at the cliff, his eyes a little confused.

This cliff is about four hundred feet high. Unless you fly down from the tree, you will not be able to reach the bottom at all. If you fall down accidentally, you will definitely die. Now there is only one way to choose, that is, go up. Although it is ten feet high from the top of the cliff, you can still try it.

Bian Yao staggered along the tree's trunk towards the cliff. He had to get out of trouble, so he decided to try it. After all, there was a big tree cushioning himself, and even if he couldn't climb up, he would fall down as long as he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, he would be careful that nothing would happen.

Standing in front of the stone wall, Bian Yao raised his eyes and observed for a moment, and found all the stone rocks that were protruding and could be used for his own leverage.

Bian Yao took a few deep breaths, slowly lowered his body, and suddenly jumped more than one meter high. In a blink of an eye, his left foot stepped on a convex rock, kicked hard, and made half a meter upwards. Then his right foot fell on another convex rock, and then he jumped upwards half a meter. In this way, Bian Yao jumped quickly and five times in a row, and finally turned over in the air and fell back to the tree.

"Damn it~!" Bian Yao panted and cursed. It seemed that he could only jump up five feet at most. There was a convex rock for leveraging force, which was more than two feet away from the next convex rock. At most, he could only jump more than ten feet high. Bian Yao's mind was flipping quickly.

"It would be great if someone passed by here. At worst, I could give the spirit grass to the person who saved me. I must not be trapped here!" Thinking of the end, Bian Yao shouted loudly towards the top of the cliff. After a while, no one responded, so he could only give up helplessly.

Bian Yao's stomach began to make a "gurgle" sound again. He looked around and then moved his body carefully to search on the tree. He wanted to find out if there was any possibility of fruits and other things on the tree.

Half a moment later, just as Bian Yao was about to stop looking, he caught a glimpse of something familiar. It was a bird's nest made of twigs and leaves, hanging upside down there, hiding in a relatively secret way, and if you don't pay attention, you can't find it at all.

Bian Yao's heart moved, and he lay down and slowly moved towards the bird's nest. He reached into the bird's nest and touched it. Suddenly he laughed out loud. There were three bird eggs in the nest. Bian Yao took out one, knocked it on the tree trunk, then pushed the egg shell and raised his head, swallowing the egg white and egg yolk inside.

After wiping the corner of his mouth, thinking that he didn't know how many days he would be sleepy here, Bian Yao restrained his strong desire and did not touch the remaining two eggs. He decided to eat another one when he was so hungry.

Time passed by little by little until noon, Bian Yao still frowned, but never thought of a feasible solution. When he thought of He Qingyin's panic and anxious look because of his whereabouts unknown, Bian Yao's eyes turned red.

"What should I do? What should I do... It would be great if I could break through to the Mengmai realm. Although Mengmai couldn't fly high and couldn't fly far, it was still fine. But now, I am only a late-stage Meng Jushi, and I haven't even reached the Dream Walker's realm... Dream Walker?" Bian Yao kept whispering. When he thought of Dream Walker, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly remembered what Ye Zizi said, "Meng Cultivation who breaks through to the Dream Walker's realm will greatly improve his physical and action ability! For example, it takes one day for Meng Jushi to move a stone to the top of the mountain, so after becoming a Dream Walker, you may move two stones but it takes only half a day or even shorter to reach the top of the mountain..."

"If I can break through to Dream Walker, does that mean that if I can only jump one meter high now, I can jump two meter high after breaking through to Dream Walker, or even higher?" Bian Yao thought of this, the corner of his mouth gradually curled up.

The sun shone in the sky, Bian Yao sat upright on the tree without moving, his consciousness entered the dream again, attached to the soul body and began to concentrate on his cultivation. He wanted to rely on breaking through to the realm of the Dream Walker to get rid of the current predicament.

The dark dream has not changed at all compared to the past. No matter how mysterious the things are, you won’t feel strange if you see them too many times! Bian Yao tried hard to eliminate distracting thoughts, feel them seriously, and breathe the unique breath in the dream.

When Bian Yao attached his consciousness to the soul body and practiced intently, a strange fragrance composed of three different flavors slowly overflowed from his body's arms and was sucked into his body by Bian Yao.

The sun rises and the sun sets again, and time passes slowly, and those invisible changes are also happening quietly.

On the fourth day, when the golden crow fell west.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Bian Yao's body. At this time, his breathing suddenly accelerated, and his face turned red in an instant, just as blood in his body was surging rapidly.

Bian Yao closed his eyes tightly, his body trembled slightly unconsciously, and beads of sweat kept oozing out from his forehead. This situation lasted for about half a stick of incense before it gradually stopped.

"Shh~~" Bian Yao exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and then opened his eyes.

"What does this feel? The clothes are soaked, and the things in front of you seem to have become different from before..." Bian Yao opened his eyes wide, slowly turned his head and looked around, murmured.

He suddenly realized that when he looked at the top of the cliff, the feeling of being unattainable had disappeared. All the bulges on the cliff wall could be clearly seen from a distance. Bian Yao even found a convex rock route for him to leverage. He had calculated in his mind which convex rock he stepped on.

Bian Yao stood up and felt that his body seemed to be much lighter.

Turning around and looking at the red clouds in the sky, he seemed to have something in his heart to vent, that was excitement!

"Ah~~!" Bian Yao shouted wildly at the west sky.

The next moment, he suddenly jumped into the air and jumped more than two feet high!

"Haha~ I'm getting awesome again!" Bian Yao shouted loudly with a laugh.

Under the setting sun, beside the cliff wall.

On a big tree that stretched out obliquely, the boy shouted and jumped loudly in the sunset.

Until the sunset retracts the last ray of afterglow.
Chapter completed!
