The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

64. White Crystal

With a beam of white light flashing in front of Feng Xi's eyes, he smelled the fragrance in the air before he could see anything.

As Feng Xi opened his eyes, he found them not in the Heaven Peak Palace anymore but going back to the flower sea, which was also the place his leader called Desire Sea where thousands of flowers bloomed. In the outside world, it was already the cool autumn when all the plants withered and scattered about, but the flowers here were still in full bloom as if they never faded.

After Feng Xi had taken a deep breath, he sneezed fiercely and his nasal discharge almost fell on the King's body.

"My leader, aren't you going to teach me the Profound Art? Why did you take me here?"

Feng Xi squatted down while pinching his nose. There was a pink flower beside his feet, which looked like a begonia but was in a different color. Even the petals of this flower looked quite strange. The three pedals which were in inverted shape in the center were wrapped by four almond-shaped pedals. The other flowers beside this flower all swayed in the wind, but only this flower remained still.

Feng Xi found it weird right away. Then he tried to poke it with his finger. However, before he could touch the flower, it suddenly closed its buds quickly and disappeared.

Feng Xi got dazed for a while and then took back his finger. Having shuddered with fear, Feng Xi went back to King of the Netherworld since he only felt safe around his leader.

"The time passes differently in the Desire Sea. One day here is equal to two hours in the outside world. You only have one day and a half to cultivate but the cultivation of the Profound Art couldn't be accomplished in one day. Therefore, in the next one day and a half, you will cultivate in the Desire Sea." The King turned around and explained that simply.

"So I am going to stay here for dozens of days?"

Feng Xi started to count with his fingers. There were thirty-six hours in one day and a half, which meant that he had to stay here for eighteen days. The most important thing was that there was nothing here except for the endless flower sea. He would rather be kicked back than stay here for eighteen days and smell the strong fragrance.

Feng Xi pinched his finger while staring at his leader whose face looked quite indifferent with a pitiful look.

If Feng Xi couldn't even endure cultivating himself for eighteen days, he would never be able to tolerate the long and endless journey of cultivation.

"You need to get used to this. The road to cultivation is endless. Eighteen days is like the blink of an eye. For the diligent cultivators, eighteen days often goes in a flash. You will get accustomed to cultivating yourself for days and go through all the difficulties in your cultivation!"

The King didn't get softhearted seeing Feng Xi's look and pulled Feng Xi away. In the meantime, the flower sea opened a path for them instantly.

As they walked toward the huge flower in the middle of the flower sea, King of the Netherworld's clear voice kept echoing in the air like light which could pull back the people from the darkness. The voice would actually clear people's minds.

"You will know in the future that time is the most meaningless thing in this world."

King of the Netherworld had spent countless ages in the world. He had traveled through the endless time alone for too long.

Time was too insignificant a thing for the King to pay attention to.

The King's words were always meaningful. Feng Xi, clever as he was, still failed to totally understand the King most of the time.
