Chapter 110: Hundred Years

[Ding Ding Ding - Special Points Mission: Escape from Xuanyuan Family (Completed)

Mission Reward: 1 million points]

…

Ten years later——

Fangtian Secret Realm - South Territory - Xuming Lake Center House,

"Brother—our family can't keep so many birds!"

I glanced at Liu Hong who was holding a nest of little white birds, threw away the fishing rod in my hand, and took the birds from his hand.

"Let Xiaobai raise it himself."

I touched the little white bird's head and transferred some spiritual power to it.

How should I put it, the knowledge I have learned will not let me down.

Caring for spirit animals is easier than I thought.

[…Wild species deliver babies, right?]

And postpartum care.

How come spiritual beasts are not considered a wild species?

Liu Hong and I have been in the Fangtian Secret Realm for ten years, and there is no sign that the Fangtian Secret Realm will be revealed.

This place is completely isolated from the outside world. Although there are other people who possess the Fang Tian secret order, most of them use it before the secret realm is about to appear to be one step ahead of other cultivators. They would not run in here directly to escape like the two of us.

So we really haven't seen each other for ten years, and we don't know what's going on outside.

This secret place is a cave space left behind by ancient monks. It is rich in natural treasures and has its own rules, so there are many spiritual beasts, which are born and raised naturally and have simple natures. Then, in order to fulfill my promise to Liu Hong, I found him a little white bird.

It's a swan.

Like the Qingluan, this one is also a type of phoenix, but this one is not a purebred Honghu. It was probably born in this Fangtian Secret Realm, not the main world, so it is a little underdeveloped.

She can't fly.

Liu Hong named her Xiaobai. The man and the bird did not form a spiritual contract. After all, one was a divine bird and the other was a demon cultivator.

——But Xiaobai has a problem. Due to a congenital defect, she is particularly keen on reproducing offspring. I don’t know if there is any dragon blood in her body. She is the Sea King in the Fangtian Secret Realm.

So starting from the fifth year, Xiaobai would hatch a nest of little white birds every year, but they were almost all ordinary birds, and there was no second swan.

If I hadn't seen the eggs she laid, I would have suspected that she had stolen someone else's bird.

One brood every year, and now Liuhong and I have all kinds of little white birds.

…

Liu Hong, who was avoided by the birds on the back mountain of Liuming Sect when he was a child, is almost becoming a bird-like bird in Fangtian Secret Realm.

Moreover, Xiaobai has already reached adulthood and is only one step away from transforming into a human form. However, he has never left the Fangtian Secret Realm, so he has no concept of being a "human".

Veral took care of her like his sister, and finally made her a little less keen on laying eggs. She also had some human consciousness, but she was still unwilling to transform.

But none of us have any objections. What's so good about being a human being?

"Half of them will die if I leave it to her."

Liu Hong rolled his eyes and sat next to me.

"Haven't you always wanted a little bird? Xiaobai is the most powerful little bird in the entire Fangtian Secret Realm." I touched his head. Since leaving our bodies, neither of us has changed at all, but Liu Hong and I both have a few white hairs. I guess as time goes by, our hair will become as white as Ling Ye and Liu Yuan.

The time in the world of cultivation is too long, and I don’t know how long I will stay here.

"There are only two of us here now, so it doesn't matter whether we're powerful or not," he said nonchalantly. "It feels like I'm back to my childhood."

He looked at the calm waves on the lake. The little white birds rushed to the water surface and swam in it without any instruction. The quiet lake surface suddenly became noisy.

"It's just me, my brother, my mother, and a bunch of other people. We don't have to worry about good or evil, or cultivation. At most, we'll get scolded by my mother." He looked at me. "My brother and I don't have any big aspirations, right?"

I nodded.

Liu Hong and I are just two people who are pushed forward by fate.

I have to complete the mission, and he has to protect himself.

The Xuanyuan Bell in our body alone is enough to make us unable to live a peaceful life.

"A mortal's life is only a hundred years long. Isn't it nice for us to be mortals here?" I said.

Then another twenty years passed, our hair turned gray, and we became distracted.

...Sometimes, genius is something that makes people angry to death.

Who can go from out-of-body state to distraction state in just thirty years? Those people in distraction state chasing us outside must be pissed to death.

I don't know if the spiritual energy here is ancient or if our minds are becoming more peaceful, but the speed of cultivation is getting faster and faster, even if we don't practice deliberately, just looking at the mountains, water, flowers and plants.

We can both improve our cultivation without even going into seclusion.

Twenty years later, we both successfully entered the fusion stage. It was so smooth that the thunder strikes were powerless.

At this time, we have only been in the Fangtian Secret Realm for fifty years.

...It's really scary. He is over 70 years old, but his hair is just white.

You have to know that the longest I lived in the world was only until I was eighty years old.

[This is how the world of cultivation works. Think about it, Master and Mom have both lived for over a thousand years.]

As a result, Xiaobai has not transformed yet.

Villar has transformed!

It was the familiar appearance of Villar, but I felt a little dazed because I hadn't seen him transform in such a long time.

"You still can't forget what the people's police look like, right?"

I looked at the police badge on his chest with a complicated expression.

This thing is a bit too advanced to appear in the world of immortal cultivation.

Villar pretended not to see my expression, picked up Xiaobai and went to fight Liuhong.

Then another fifty years.

We are both in the Dongxu stage.

...Wait a minute, is this golden finger opened too wide?

[Ahem, don't ask me, ask Party A!]

[I'm just a useless little loser who posts points tasks——]

You have a clear understanding of yourself!

Liu Hong didn't think anything was wrong, ignoring the fact that we had already been in the Fangtian Secret Realm for a full hundred years. Who had said before that the Fangtian Secret Realm was about to open?!

One hundred years! Is this what it will look like when it’s about to open?

[I've already said that the time in the cultivation world is different from the time you know!]

However, we did not gain nothing in these hundred years. At least, except for those places that have not been opened, we both explored all the other places in the Fangtian Secret Realm.

Liu Hong even taught me how to use the Xuanyuan Bell.

Sure enough, half of it is in my body.

When we summoned the Xuanyuan Bells at the same time, the two bells would resonate, but there was no sign of them merging into one.

However, as I explored, I roughly understood that the Xuanyuan Bell has no entity, and the reason it resides in our bodies is because the two of us are the hosts of the Xuanyuan Bell.

——Perhaps we were chosen to be the host of the Xuanyuan Bell before we were born, and the Xuanyuan Bell was brought into the world through human bodies.

But probably no one expected that they were twins, so the Xuanyuan Bell was split into two.

I even wonder if that's why we were thrown away.

But it doesn’t make sense - I still have to wait until I get out to find out the truth of what happened back then.

However, the concept of host body is really similar to the concept of manpower of Fire Ninja - you people in the cultivation world are so good at playing tricks!

Although there are no main quests in the past hundred years, I have a lot more points-based quests.

It feels like a system has finally found a way to give me points so I can fix my glasses—

You're right! Glasses are really important in the next world!

…you’re giving me half of the spoiler again but without mentioning the key words, right?!

[Ah, the next world is special—you'll know when you get there. Anyway, it'll give you more points and more protection! And because of the special nature of the next world, I can't be by your side all the time!]

Why are you getting more and more scary?!

I am still here and life is peaceful, so don’t overdraw your anxiety!

"elder brother?"

Liu Hong walked up to me and waved, "Why are you always daydreaming lately?"

I came back to my senses and looked at him, "That's what happens when you get older."

Even though more than a hundred years is nothing in the world of cultivation, for the two of us who have relied entirely on ourselves and have not experienced any difficulties, it is a real passage of time.

Fortunately, because my body has not aged, my mind is still young.

"If your mother heard you say that, she would beat you up."

He said helplessly.

How should I put it? Maybe it’s because of his age or his improvement in cultivation, Liu Hong has become more and more reliable, and he is taking care of me imperceptibly.

I used to take care of him, but now he takes care of me - I don't know when it started, but he has been taking care of my daily life, leisure and entertainment.

Is this the grown-up protagonist?! So terrifying!

Doesn’t this make me look more like a younger brother?

Moreover, he never mentioned anything about going out and seemed to be really enjoying life here.

[…I was saying the protagonist has the potential to turn evil and be locked up in a dark room! This isn't the first time he's locked you up.]

Don't sow discord between us brothers!

[You said that for a hundred years, it was just you and him, and you couldn't get out, so he was happy.]

[Do these words put together form a small dark room? ]

I:……

When you look at the world through tinted glasses, what you see is colored!

"Would you like to go out?"

I asked him.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression, "Is it not possible for me to go out whenever I want?"

Me: "...I recently watched the performance of Heavenly Dao, and I feel that the time is almost right, and the Fangtian Secret Realm should be unveiled."

He: "Then we can explore those blocked areas in advance?"

Me: Damn it.

He really didn't look like he wanted to go out.

Let me tell you.

What did the demon cultivator teach his younger brother? He even lost his social needs. He used to be such a good kid, he only knew how to go to the various peaks of the sect to make friends.

[…Is that the point?! And he was looking for someone to spar with before, right??]

[Isn’t your brother filter a bit too strong? ? ]

snort.

Another ten years passed, and the barrier loosened.

Liu Hong and I entered the once blocked area in just a moment. Xiaobai stood on his shoulder and Veral stood on my shoulder. I flipped my fingers and our figures disappeared into the air.

The method is very scientific. It uses the refraction of light through water droplets to achieve the effect of invisibility.

So I say, learn math, physics, and chemistry well, and you can become invisible even if you don’t know how in the world of cultivation—

Soon, we both felt the flow of spiritual energy at the same time. A large amount of spiritual energy flowed out from the blocked area and then gathered in one direction. Then, all kinds of complex spiritual energy appeared.

We are now in the Dongxu stage, and our spiritual consciousness can sweep through the entire secret realm in a single thought.

Some monks came in, but their number was even smaller than we expected—and most of them were not of high level.

We looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Theoretically, when this kind of ancient secret realm is opened, the entire cultivation world will send many disciples there regardless of their cultivation level. But why are there only dozens of disciples in the Nascent Soul or even Golden Core stage this time?

"What happened outside?"

I shook my head.

"First, let's go to those areas we haven't been to to see if there's anything useful, and then we'll go out."

Over the past hundred years, we have taken all the useful treasures from heaven and earth, leaving only a few places we have not visited. Now, we can know what is there in just a few breaths just by scanning with our spiritual sense.

I always have a bad feeling.

Because Ling Ye didn't come to me the first moment it was opened.

——It’s not like his style. It’s understandable that he was trapped by the Xuanyuan family a hundred years ago, but a hundred years later, what else could trap him?

Liu Hong and I were extremely fast. In the newly opened areas, apart from some magical weapons and skills, there was also the inheritance of the owner of the Fangtian Secret Realm - none of which were of any use to us.

Liu Hong has the Demon Lord's inheritance, and I'm just a passer-by in this world. Ascension cannot cover up the fact that I have to continue working for the system, so neither of us took it.

Then there was a gun made of ten thousand year old black ice. This was the weapon used by the master of Fangtian Secret Realm before he ascended to heaven. With the master's ascension, it also turned into a divine weapon.

But...

Since ancient times, spearmen have been lucky E, but I am a little hesitant to use it.

[Take it, host, take it quickly, why worry about luck or bad luck?]

I:……

Then I took it, and because the aura of the Fangtian Secret Realm was too strong on me, I took it extremely smoothly, almost for free, without even any test.

Liu Hong: "As expected of you, my brother."

No, no, no, there's no need to praise me at a time like this. I'm really worried there's something wrong.

Then we went out through the exit.

The place we went out to was a mountainous area, tens of thousands of miles away from Chongguang Sect.

For us now, it only takes a few breaths to reach——

The premise is that we don’t see a battlefield full of blood and dead souls in the middle.

It is a city on the edge of Zhongzhou, close to the East China Sea. Hundreds of years ago, the number of caravans coming and going was extremely frequent, and mortals and cultivators lived together, making it extremely prosperous.

But now, the whole city was burning with raging flames, and the mixed spiritual energy and bloody smell filled the nose, as well as the strong evil and demonic energy.

Looking around, the city was full of corpses.

Of mortals, immortal cultivators, and monsters—

What exactly happened?

How could it become like this in just a hundred years?
