Invincible all eons : I , that assault everything : protagonist meets antagonist in reverse

Chapter 20 : Protoneil forest [ beginning of book 1 ]

Walking for half a day , the group arrived near the forest. The forest seem to be Green and lively from far away. Rivers seem to be connected with this forest , while the forest was echoing the crisping voices.

Beetles were crying while river's flowing water were gently sounding. Sky seem to be blue and shinning. Sun seem to be illuminating the illusory figure of light ball in those middle of hidden sky that seen to be underneath clouds.

Cuhooo

Those birds were making forest lively , when the group arrived the forest and entered it. They felt hot and very hot. Their skin seem to be starting to get burnt. It was totally different from outside the forest.

Walking on the way , nanashi was wiping his sweats that were dripping out from his whole body. His body was drenched in sweat within few minute of arrival.

It was too horrifying.

But suddenly with " ding "

[ fire essence has been detected ]

[ host can cultivate fire essence here ]

A smile rose on nanashi's lips as he felt happy. He said " cultivate "

"Ding"

[ fire essence level : 1 ]

[ 1…2…3…4…5…6….7..8…9…10.. ]

He felt satisfied.

While on the another side , everyone were drenched in sweat and their clothes were all wet. They lost their few calories from their bodies in just few minute of arrival.

" no wonder , no wonder , those seniors that cultivates dao of flame comes here to comprehend the law of flame essence " zhang chenqi said while wiping out his sweats.

" brother zhang , this forest is really worthy of its ranking in world for one if the special area " one disciple said . "Yes , it is really worthy of its ranking. One of the hottest wonders in the world " another said while sweating very intensely.

"Hm.. this will serve all of us as an experience . Everyday there is something new to learn. " Chen mei said with her cold voice while cooling herself with her ice element.

Her whole body was wrapped with the string of cold breeze as if they were trying to form a cocoon for her.

"…?" Ah ! Senior sister , I / we think that it is only for us that is serving as a lesson while its not for you ?

Everyone wanted to say that but no one dared. But suddenly a voice rang " ah !! It's seem like heaven is cruel on us. It's only you who is feeling good while its us who are feeling that we are learning something "

Ever one turned their heads to see nanashi fanning himself with his azure fan and smiling while holding an umbrella.

"…?" It seem like you too are just enjoying and it's seem like we are the one to suffer in this scorching hell.

Of course no one said that.

Although nanashi was using fan and an umbrella , he was still feeling hot. Let alone him , even the one to use ice element was feeling little hot.

But suddenly nanashi smiled and all those sweats froze like ice and not even a single drop of sweats could be seen on his face.

[ ice element art : gentle breeze ]

Everyone were confused , they wanted to ask what was the reason for him to stop sweating ? But no one dared to.

While Chen mei was the one who was most surprised. This man was using her art so how can she not understand it ?

And judging from looks , it seem he was using her art more masterfully and in a profound way than her.

But she didn't said anything while she just ignored him.

Walking for awhile they found huge landscape , while walking for awhile , they were in the middle of landlocked. Every were only lands and hills , huge hills that seem to fly in the sky could be seen.

Sitting under the parasol like tree , under the tree that had shadow covering the ground. Everyone seem to have been sucked by their energies other than nanashi and Chen mei.

Taking out waters , everyone drank and felt relief . Their dry throat that were dried from scorching heat was now wet as a sea of water.

Waving his fan , nanashi was keeping watch out. He seem to be smiling and looking around as if he was enjoying the pleasure of surrounding , but in reality he was also doing scouting.

" the weather is very hot here. Very hot , very hot , uff " he sighed and shook his head.

Everyone looked at him in disbelief. What do you mean so hot ? Do you think we are an idiot ?

No one can even mark the spot of him sweating and yet he is saying it's very hot ?

Shameless

standing near nanashi , Chen mei said with her cold voice " it seem like monsters in this forest has hidden deeply because of high temperature in this area. Do you think we should walk more deep ? "

Nanashi turned his head back to watch those juniors , he shook his head and said "let's not do this for now "

" than what should we do ?" Mei thought for a while before saying " let's search for fire spirits in this area. There maybe low grade fire spirit."

Low grade fire spirit were those with low rank bloodline while mid grade with mid rank bloodline. No different from other race bloodline.

Nanashi was pretty formidable himself when it was about strength and as for if he can survive in battle with strong opponents or not ? It depends on his own luck and talent.

Nodding head , nanashi smiled and licked his lips while saying " yup ! Those fire spirit from low grade bloodline must have gathered in this area. For now we can only search for them if we want to train this little rascals " than he laughed.

Chen mei nodded in agreement. This forest was filled with fire essence and there won't be fire spirit , it would be a joke.

But low grade fire spirit was too weak and their fire core would always be of low quality and low quantity.

Sitting far from their juniors at least 50 meter far , nanashi was sitting crosslegged while placing his palms on his knees while Chen mei was sitting on her own feet. Her feet were beneath her perfect bumps , that heaven has crafted.

Her sword was on her side and she was watching those moving clouds.

A gentle breeze blew pass them , their hairs fluttered toward East side while they felt the teasing of those gust of winds.

While flying , those hairs of her came and disturbed her blackberry lips. Removing then slightly with her right hand , Chen mei felt peace in her heart.

Nanashi , on the other hand while watching in the sky was thinking " the sky is very vast and boundless. Space in it is always endless. Firmament it is , ha ? Just like this , my firmament assailants flame will one day become unrestrained as it could be. "

He knew in his heart that he was still weak , there are hidden dragons and phoenix everywhere in the world. And he shouldn't be haughty now , otherwise he may not even receive the chance to regret.

Under the sky , we all are same….an insect trying live there own life.

But I wouldn't remain insect , I wouldn't be sky neither heaven. I wanna fly , fly through everything. Reach , reach beyond anything.

I wanna dream , no , not just dream but I want to live , I want to live life.

No , what is there for me to live life ? I will create my own life. My own legend. My own myth.

I don't want to be bound by this world , not by human , not by demon , not by law , not by dao , not even through origin or whaton.…

I wanna grow my own wings that would never leave me and stay all by my side...

Forget everything , forget mundane world , forget mundane emotions , forget mundane life and accept the nirvana myself.

Where will I find my own peace and happiness , my sadness , I want to forget it and want to search for my own story.

As he thought , nanashi slowly extended his right hand and stretched it up in the sky. His five fingers were covering the sky for him , suddenly he clenched it and it was as if he grabbed the whole sky along with multiple dimension , myriad world and stars , sun and moon , heaven and firmament, for him it seem everything was within his single palm.

But when he removed his palm from his sight , it was like , everything was only a mere dream of a mortal , dream of an ant.

Watching him , Chen mei couldn't understand anything. What was he thinking ? What was he trying to do ? Nothing could be seen from his expression that had nothing but a fake smile and a hiding truth.

"Haha… you know what is the most painful truth in the world ?"suddenly nanashi asked a question to Chen mei who was watching him in curiosity and confusion.

Listing his question , Chen replied after thinking for a while " a …. Not being able to fulfill your heart desire " she said it and nodded.

But nanashi shook his head in disagreement.

Chen mei was slightly taken back so she pondered for a moment and said it finally " to be looked down by others "

Nanashi shook his head and said " the answer is , not knowing anything. " he smiled and laughed bitterly.

Chen mei only kept on glaring him than she turned to look at sky.

"Not knowing anything ?" She thought.

While far from them , under the parasol like tree , the disciples were watching them in curiosity.

" brother zhang , what do you think they might be talking about ?"one pretty girl asked in curiosity. Her pretty eyebrows were fluttering slightly , making her look very cute.

Shaking head , zhang chenqi replied " don't know junior sister , maybe some important matters ? " he wasn't sure what they were talking about but he felt like it should be some important matter.

" haiz, I am gonna get sucked by this sucker heat . If I get sucked than my soft youth would end just like that " one disciple shook his head and felt pain in his heart.

"Don't worry , if you get sucked by this sucker heat in your soft youth than I am here to take care of junior sister xia " one disciple joked with him.

The previous disciple was enraged by his words . He raised his fist and clashed with him. Watching them , the junior sister of theirs hid her face under those pretty palms and said in a bashful manner ' this scoundrels , how can they act like this ? "

Watching them everyone laughed and the atmosphere was filled with lively laughter.

From far away , the two of seniors ( nanashi and Chen mei ) of theirs were watching them. Both of them slightly smiled .

While sitting on the ground , both of them were only one meter distance far from each others.

Suddenly nanashi laid down on the ground completely , disregarding his image , he acted like a little child. His right leg was supporting on left leg while his head was supported by his both arms on behind.

"Tell me one thing , how , how did you used my ice element art just before ?" Chen mei wanted to ask this for a long time but she didn't. But she felt it was the right moment for her to ask about , but she wasn't sure he would tell her or not ?

Of course nanashi wouldn't.

Trusting other is something and revealing his trump card is another.

He slightly smiled and told lie with open eyes " it's because of my blood lineage ability. I can learn others art if they are weaker than my capabilities "

Nodding head , Chen mei didn't said anything. It wasn't a surprising thing to have blood lineage ability that can copy others arts and techniques. But it is also one of those extremely rare blood lineage ability.

In three realm and countless world , this kind of blood lineage was really rare.

They both kept on having a warm and friendly conversation . Both of then got to know each others little closely at that day.
