Chapter 900: The Changing Seasons
Zhou Chenghang was willing to freeze himself into a fool, but Lin Tian couldn’t care less. He sat down next to Qiyi, also crossed his legs, and placed his hands on his knees.
The snow seemed to have gotten heavier. When blown by the cold wind, even if it fell gently, it felt bone-chilling on the skin.
The only thing Lin Tian could do now was to frantically circulate Spiritual Qi to fend off the all-encompassing snow.
But soon, he discovered that the effect of his Spiritual Qi was minimal. The cold still penetrated his bones, as if he were in a massive ice cellar.
"This snow... is peculiar!"
Lin Tian murmured softly and began circulating Spiritual Qi again, only to find it was of little use. Instead, the snow on him kept piling up thicker.
Before long, his head and shoulders felt heavy, with snow accumulating to a thickness of a palm.
"Hoo~"
Lin Tian let out a long breath. His body shivered, shaking off the snow on him, but it seemed to be of little use since the snow kept falling.
Lin Tian glanced at Qiyi beside him. His slender figure wore thin clothes, sitting in the pristine snow like a deity. And Wang Sijing... she looked more like a sculpture beside a deity, an ice sculpture, because the snow had already covered her body, making her look like a snowman.
Suddenly, Lin Tian stood up, doing something that almost made Zhou Chenghang’s jaw drop.
Lin Tian... actually took off his clothes!
First the coat, then the sweater, the thermal wear, and then even the underwear. Finally, he took off his cotton pants and thermal pants.
Did this guy’s brain freeze? Why is he stripping? Doing body art or streaking?
Previously, when Lin Tian was ’fully armed’, he only felt the snow on him was a bit cold, and the wind was somewhat biting.
When left with just a pair of ’underwear’, Lin Tian felt even more the mercilessness of this harsh weather.
The wind and snow felt like they transformed into knives and axes.
The skin on his chest started to crack directly, and even blood seeped out of his skin.
"Just as expected!"
Lin Tian sucked in the cold air, yet his face showed an incredibly satisfied and happy smile.
"Is this guy... a fool?"
Zhou Chenghang’s expression was also quite colorful, a look of pleasant surprise, happy like a fool.
Lin Tian directly ignored that guy; he sat down again as before.
Although the wind and snow did considerable damage to the body, the benefits were immense, not to mention, it greatly enhanced Telekinesis.
In addition to their martial arts, Telekinesis is also a specialty of the Buddhist sect.
And in this place, Spiritual Qi couldn’t repel the cold, only Telekinesis could work. Stripping almost naked felt even stronger.
Although his body was now full of scars, with blood seeping out strikingly, this was actually a form of cultivation.
A great practice for both the body and Telekinesis.
While Lin Tian’s body shivered in place, his eyes kept searching for the mountains and clouds that the old monk spoke of.
He said the mountains aren’t mountains, and the clouds aren’t clouds.
But one must see the mountains and clouds to continue understanding, right?
Could it be imagined out of thin air?
Lin Tian’s gaze swept around, even activating his clairvoyance, yet he still didn’t see any mountains and clouds.
However, Lin Tian saw that where he was now, the Bodhi Platform was built on the edge of a cliff, with jagged rocks below. Falling from here meant almost no chance of survival.
Soon, he couldn’t see anything at all.
Because snow was also covering his eyelashes, weighing them down, so Lin Tian simply closed his eyes.
He didn’t know what he was supposed to do at the moment, in a very chaotic state.
It’s like being drunk. But drunkness causes dizziness, while his current state was very good, the Golden Core was rapidly spinning, and Spiritual Qi was overflowing throughout his body, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, vaguely indicating a breakthrough.
Lin Tian’s brows furrowed involuntarily. He didn’t want to break through to the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir so quickly. Although such strength would increase significantly, it could be relatively floating.
In the path of martial arts, every detail is important, and accumulating extensively to erupt vigorously is undoubtedly the correct choice.
But Lin Tian couldn’t stop the boiling of Spiritual Qi. It was a natural progression, an effortless formation.
"Hoo~"
Lin Tian took a deep breath, feeling the cold was gone, instead it was warm and cozy.
In his world, the snow melted, the wind stopped, all was silent, everything returned to tranquility.
The place where Lin Tian sat was still the Bodhi Platform.
Still that thousands of feet cliff, without the all-encompassing snow, Lin Tian finally saw the distance, with two towering peaks like the Five Pure Mountains, reaching into the clouds.
Mountains and clouds finally appeared before his eyes.
Mountains full of lush vegetation, clouds boiling and rolling.
The majestic spectacle of nature left Lin Tian’s mouth agape in awe.
"Seeing mountains as mountains, seeing clouds as clouds."
Lin Tian suddenly felt his brain wasn’t enough, talking with these Buddhists was really mind-wracking.
Suddenly, Lin Tian discovered that on those two mountains, two Buddhas were carved amidst the sea of clouds, it really seemed like something.
Then, the surrounding clouds began to roll faster, swirling around those two peaks, continuously alternating, forming a massive storm, as if trying to uproot the two mountains.
Suddenly, the plants all over the mountains started to change.
The originally lush green mountains suddenly sprouted many new shoots, all things grew, Lin Tian even heard chirping birds and smelled the fragrance of flowers.
In the blink of an eye, a blazing sun rose from the east, scorching everything.
Rumbling...
Accompanied by deafening thunder, a torrential rain poured down, making the vegetation even more vigorous.
The blazing sun gradually fell to the west, accompanied by a refreshing east wind, the two mountains began to turn yellow, the leaves withered, golden everywhere, beautiful and magnificent.
By the time the sun set in the west, the wind became cold, the rolling sea of clouds churned fiercely, extra white snowflakes fell, covering the two mountain peaks in snowy white, which was extraordinarily beautiful.
"This..."
Lin Tian was already a bit mesmerized, isn’t this the cycle of the four seasons? This change is way too fast, isn’t it?
The cycle of four seasons continued to change, as spring went and came, Lin Tian’s heart gradually calmed down.
He carefully observed the mountains and clouds as if the whole world consisted of just this scene.
Who knows how many cycles of the four seasons alternated, Lin Tian was like an old monk in meditation, the snow that drifted from the sky had piled up, burying him inside, looking like a big snowman.
At this time, Wang Sijing had already withdrawn from the cultivation state, staring blankly at Qiyi beside her, and the big snowball next to Qiyi, completely stunned.
